Chapter 38 "The Tao Character
Terrifying! It was really too terrifying!
A shadowy figure, a cold shout, and Lin Feng was shocked to the point of spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The expression on the Fire Kirin's face was also very ugly, as it had lost its divine power and its cultivation was limited.
Those Blood Corpse Army and Ghost Army started to shiver at the appearance of this figure.
The being before them seemed like a divine mansion high above others, powerful, immortal, and mystical.
He held the oldest of powers, contemptuously overlooking countless creatures of the world.
...
"Divine Spirit!"
The Fire Kirin was horrified, as it could feel the terrifying aura emanating from this being.
Though what stood before them was just an imprint.
The Fire Kirin, at its peak period, was almost on par with a divine spirit, but after all, it was not one.
Only by nearing that level would one understand what the term "divine spirit" truly represented.
Here, there was an imprint left by a Demon Dao expert of the divine spirit level, and what's more, that Demon Dao expert's divine sense was still present.
What did this mean?
It meant that this divine spirit level Demon Dao expert was not dead yet.
It was really too terrifying.
What fierce beast could the beast egg be from to be so valued by such a terrifying being?
"You lowly ants dare to covet the treasure of this Demon Lord, go to die."
The terrifying shadow of the Demon Dao expert lifted its right hand and ruthlessly slammed down.
That strike enveloped Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin.
"Not good!"
Lin Feng was horrified to find that his body could not move at all; he could only watch helplessly as the terrifying attack came crashing down, powerless to resist.
And what about the Fire Kirin?
Its situation was the same as Lin Feng's. By now, the Fire Kirin's combat power might even be inferior to Lin Feng's.
"Ancient Saint Emperor Qiongqi Avatar."
Lin Feng roared, summoning the Ancient Saint Emperor Qiongqi Avatar just in time as the strike was about to hit Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin.
The Ancient Saint Emperor Qiongqi Avatar lunged out, striking towards that huge palm.
"An ant dares to resist?"
The cold voice echoed through.
The enormous palm came crashing down, instantly blasting the Ancient Saint Emperor Qiongqi Avatar away, before continuing to bear down on Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin.
The terrifying pressure spread out, overwhelming Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin, to the point where even Lin Feng's powerful physical body could hardly bear it.
Crack...crack...
Lin Feng's body started to crack like porcelain.
One could imagine!
When that immense palm in the sky descended, they would inevitably be smashed to death.
"Demon bead, if I die, you won't fare well either."
Lin Feng tried to activate the demon bead, but it showed no response. He couldn't help but threaten it, but still, it remained inert.
Lin Feng felt the urge to weep, the demon bead was too strange, even though he had performed the blood-dropping refining on it, he just couldn't activate it.
Lin Feng's gaze then fell on another treasure.
The Xuanming Demon Book! This was a treasure he had snatched from the Ancient God Demon Battlefield!
Could this treasure save his life at the critical moment?
"Xuanming Demon Book, I brought you out from the Ancient God Demon Battlefield, I know you are extraordinary. Now the demon bead wants to devour you, but since it's been refined by me—even though I can't control it now—if you help me now, and later when the demon bead tries to devour you again, I will surely find a way to help you against it."
Boom...
As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, the previously silent demon bead suddenly emitted a terrifying energy.
That terrifying energy caused Lin Feng to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Lin Feng truly felt like smashing the demon bead to pieces.
Faced with a life and death crisis, the demon bead wasn't helping.
It was even trapping him.
But alas, Lin Feng didn't have the ability to shatter the demon bead.
Whoosh.
To Lin Feng's delight, the Xuanming Demon Book truly began to move. It swirled within the demon light and flew out quickly, hovering over Lin Feng's head.
"What is this?"
The Demon Dao expert of the Divine Spirit level looked at the Xuanming Demon Book with an expression full of shock and emotion.
"Could it be..."
It seemed as if he thought of something, his face instantly revealing a color of ecstasy.
"Hahahaha."
Then, the Divine Spirit level Demon Dao expert laughed heartily, "I didn't expect it to be this item, kid, this thing is now mine!"
The Demon Dao expert of the Divine Spirit level coldly shouted. The palm he had aimed at Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin was now reaching for the Xuanming Demon Book.
"What origin does this Xuanming Demon Book have? This Demon Dao expert must know; seeing his expression, this Demon Book definitely has an extraordinary history."
Lin Feng's heart stirred, and in this moment, he could no longer afford to think about these things.
His gaze tensely focused on the Xuanming Demon Book, uncertain if this mysterious treasure could withstand the attack of the terrifying Demon Venerable.
"Buzz."
Just as the Divine Spirit level Demon Dao expert reached for the Xuanming Demon Book, at that moment, an astonishing fluctuation emanated from the Demon Book.
Lin Feng suddenly felt as if that fluctuation was resonating with heaven and earth.
A twisted ancient character on the Xuanming Demon Book started moving.
The next moment, the ancient character soared to the sky.
It was one of the several hundred imprinted ancient characters on the Xuanming Demon Book.
Normally, these characters were very blurry, completely indecipherable.
But now, an ancient character flew out, entwined in endless demonic light, resonating with heaven and earth.
In the void, a series of deep sounds echoed, as if heaven and earth were uttering Taoist chants.
"The 'Tao' character, this is a 'Tao' character formed by the gathering of the essence of heaven and earth, this 'Tao' character is 'Destruction' from the Ancient Divine Characters. Kid, quickly imprint this 'Tao' character in your mind, don't ask anything, even if you don't understand, just imprint it in your mind. This is a defiance of the celestial fate; these are the legendary 'Tao' characters, formed when heaven and earth were created!"
The Fire Kirin roared, then abruptly closed its mouth because it was staring intently at the "Destruction" character.
Lin Feng was shaken. He was very clear about what a 'Tao' character formed by heaven and earth represented.
Lin Feng stared intensely at the "Destruction" character in the void, desperately trying to imprint it in his mind.
"Ah."
But soon, Lin Feng let out an intensely piercing scream.
His soul level at the Eighth Layer Heaven of the Yin Yang Realm simply could not bear the impact brought by the "Tao" character.
Lin Feng felt as if his soul were about to explode.
Although it was just one character,
It was not an ordinary character.
That was a "Tao" character formed at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.
A character of the Heavenly Dao! One character contained too much information!
"No, I will not give up!"
Lin Feng gritted his teeth, still intently staring at that "Tao" character.
If he missed such a great opportunity, would there be another chance? Lin Feng wasn't sure if there would be one. The Xuanming Demon Book was very mysterious, whether it would act again or have another 'Tao' character fly out, Lin Feng did not know.
Lin Feng did not seek the future.
He fought for the present moment! Only the now.
Lin Feng madly circulated the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique, and his shattered soul was rapidly repairing. The pain Lin Feng experienced was almost unbearable, like a fate worse than death, but he still stared intently at that 'Tao' character, striving to imprint it deep within his soul. As his soul was destroyed and repaired again and again, Lin Feng's soul underwent another transformation, ascending from the Eighth Layer Heaven of the Yin Yang Realm to the Ninth Layer Heaven of the Yin Yang Realm.
After Lin Feng's transformation, he felt that the pain caused by the 'Tao' character had lessened a lot.
"Buzz." Within the depths of Lin Feng's soul, the "Destruction" character imprinted itself, a 'Tao' character of heaven and earth, and Lin Feng succeeded, nearly collapsing on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Suppress!"
The Demon Dao expert of the Divine Spirit Realm roared, his palm pressing down toward the 'Tao' character 'Destruction'.
But that 'Tao' character was truly too terrifying.
Just as it's meaning embodied,
All that stood in its way was annihilated.
Bang...
The 'Tao' character 'Destruction' instantly shattered the Divine Spirit Realm Demon Dao expert's attack and then struck the Divine Spirit Realm Demon Dao expert's body.
Crack, crack.
The body of the Divine Spirit Realm Demon Dao expert, powerful as he was, began to shatter.
"Damn it, to actually break this Venerable's Divine Sense, kid, I'll remember you. And you remember me; I am called Blood Sky Demon Venerable, and on the day of my return, I will tear you to shreds."
As the Blood Sky Demon Venerable's voice fell, his massive body directly crumbled.
The body formed by the Divine Sense of the Divine Spirit Realm expert like the Blood Sky Demon Venerable couldn't withstand the light touch of the 'Tao' character 'Destruction'.
It was unimaginable, the horror of the power possessed by the 'Tao' character 'Destruction'.
