Chapter 230: The Goddess of Life Attacks
The feeling of weakness brought by the loss of True Qi during condensation was instantly dispelled. A warm and majestic power slowly rose from his dantian.
It passed over the Innate Treasure Pearl, connected with his tailbone, and lit up the orifice of that section.
With the lighting up of the tailbone's orifice, Lin Feng only felt a sense of comfort throughout his body, as if a clear spring were flowing from his spinal cord to his entire body, washing every inch of his muscles and bones.
Lin Feng's consciousness then sank into a bizarre and motley world. The surroundings were of a flowing chaotic color. They revolved around his soul. Every rotation brought a trace of enlightenment, making his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth even more profound.
He seemed to have heard the sound of all things growing, seen the trajectory of the universe's operation. All mysteries had opened their doors to him at this moment.
With a flash of inspiration, Lin Feng took a step forward, his aura suddenly churning.
In one go, he had reached the level of a Super Douluo, and then quickly ascended to the peak of a Limit Douluo!
Gu Yuena frowned slightly and quickly concealed the aura fluctuation that had burst out from Lin Feng here, to prevent it from being detected by the outside world.
And a faint, almost transparent halo surrounded Lin Feng's body. His momentum rose again, reaching the peak he had been at when he had passed the thunder tribulation before—demigod.
The surrounding space seemed unable to withstand the pressure of this terrifying aura and began to tremble slightly. A heart-palpitating pressure filled the air.
The sky seemed to have dimmed a few points. Dark clouds quietly gathered, and the sound of thunder rumbled faintly in the distance. The grass and trees on the ground, under the washing of this aura, all drooped. Even the most tenacious bedrock had fine cracks.
The surrounding space element was as if controlled by an invisible hand, crazily surging, yet it did not dare to get close to the faint halo around Lin Feng's body, for fear of being swallowed by that terrifying power.
A bright light was born and extinguished on the dragon spine of his back, causing his aura to rise again. His long hair fluttered in the wind, like a black silk ribbon, drawing one after another of domineering trajectories in the air. Every strand of hair seemed to contain an endless power, sparkling with a faint golden light.
He just floated quietly in the air like this, his two eyes temporarily closed, as if engaged in some mysterious communication with heaven and earth. The halo surrounding his body gradually became brighter, revealing an unspeakable divinity and majesty.
As time went by, the power in Lin Feng's body became more and more majestic. He slowly opened his eyes, the two qis of yin and yang circling within them. He lightly waved his hand, and the surrounding elements, like obedient children, all responded to his call, converging into one after another of brilliant lights that circled around him.
Then, he took a step forward. The surroundings suddenly went quiet. Lin Feng's figure instantly disappeared from his original spot, leaving only a wisp of an afterimage and a faint pressure that echoed in the air. When he reappeared, he was already a thousand meters away.
His aura was completely different from before, as if he had undergone a complete transformation. The halo surrounding his body had at this moment transformed into a substantial divine light, brilliant and dazzling, illuminating the entire heaven and earth.
"Divine-level?!" Gu Yuena's pupils in an instant... were full of shock and disbelief. Although she had always known that Lin Feng's talent was astonishing and his potential was limitless, and that in the future he could even boast of fighting the Divine Realm alone, to personally witness him break through to the divine level at this time, this impact was still far beyond her expectations.
He had clearly not yet condensed a god-seat, but his own power had already stepped into the domain of a god. This was an unprecedented miracle, as if the rules of heaven and earth were all making way for him, letting him explore that unknown supreme realm.
Lin Feng was suspended in the air, the divine light around his body like a solid entity, setting him off like a god descending to the mortal world.
The divine light gradually converged, and Lin Feng's figure also slowly descended with it. When his feet were on solid ground, the suffocating pressure also dissipated with it. But a faint holy aura still remained in the air, witnessing the magnificent feat just now.
He looked at Gu Yuena, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. "You see, I did it."
Gu Yuena stared blankly at him, the shock in her heart beyond words. Her vermilion lips parted slightly. "Mmm."
Several streams of light flew up from Spirit Hall: Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, Ling Yuan, Ah Yin, Qian Daoliu.
They were suspended in mid-air, their gazes all gathered on Lin Feng. The strange phenomenon just now had appeared on the peak of Spirit Hall's mountain. Gu Yuena had concealed the aura, but they, who had been secretly observing all along, had still detected the change at the first moment.
Qian Daoliu's gaze, on the other hand, was deep, a trace of an undisguisable surprise flashing in his eyes. As the Great Priest of Spirit Hall, his strength had long since reached the peak, and his knowledge was even more extensive. But the power that Lin Feng was displaying at this moment, even he found it hard to believe.
"Divine-level... and a divine-level without a god-seat..." Qian Daoliu murmured in a low voice. His position as a Tribute of the divine trial had locked his upper limit. But a few years ago, through Lin Feng's Soul Vein method, he had crossed the barrier between man and god and had for the first time touched the power of the divine level.
From then on, he had had a deeper understanding and desire for the power of the divine level. However, even so, he had never thought that he could, like Lin Feng, step into the domain of a god without condensing a god-seat. In his view, this was simply an unimaginable thing.
"Truly... the younger generation is to be feared," Qian Daoliu stroked his beard, his tone full of emotion and admiration. "Xue'er, you..."
He was still sighing with emotion, but Qian Renxue and the others had already rushed to Lin Feng's side, not paying any attention to his words at all. This made the corner of his mouth twitch fiercely. Although he knew that this caring little cotton jacket had long since turned into a black-hearted one, the feeling of being ignored again was really not good.
He silently watched the few figures flying into the distance, and took another look at the Bibi Dong who was impressively among them. He sighed deeply. It's really thanks to Xue'er that she could bury the hatchet with her.
Although he had long since accepted the matter of Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and the others, up to now, he still had not figured out why in the recent days, Qian Renxue had started to proactively call Bibi Dong 'sister'? So strange, so bizarre.
"Big Brother? Why don't you go over? Xiao Feng's aura just now was truly terrifying. I'm afraid it has already surpassed a Limit Douluo, right?"
The Golden Crocodile and a few Tributes had arrived a little later. Seeing the dazed Qian Daoliu in the air, they couldn't help but ask with confusion.
Go over? Go over your head!
A black line was on Qian Daoliu's face. Didn't you see that over there was their "family gathering"? What are we few old geezers going to do over there? Be a third wheel? If you want to ask something, can't you just ask later?
He shook his head. "Let's go back. We'll ask later."
"Ah?"
"What 'ah'? Didn't you see that over there is full of that boy's confidantes? That great god is also over there. What are you going over there to join in the fun for?"
The Qianjun Douluo laughed out loud. "Tsk, this old one is really a little envious. Thinking back to when this old one was young, I was also such an existence surrounded by flowers, an object of envy. Now, have I become an old man? Haha."
"Old man? Are you talking about me?"
The Guangling Douluo stood with his hands behind his back. A strange smile was on the silver-haired, gray-robed youth's face. His martial soul was a longbow with light plumes, with both light and ice dual attributes.
This ice attribute seemed to have frozen his age and mind together. He was over ninety years old, yet he still looked like a youth on the outside. His personality was even more so free and unrestrained. The years had left the fewest traces on him.
"Hmph, you old undying one, still pretending to be young. Do you dare to conceal our auras and go for a walk in Spirit City with me now? Let's see how many people will say I am a grandfather?"
The Guangling Douluo's eyes widened. A longbow appeared in his hand. "You dare to take advantage of me? Don't you know that this longbow of mine is silent and formless? Be careful I don't pierce your heart with one arrow and let these old bones of yours know what's what!" The Guangling Douluo pretended to be angry, but his eyes were full of smiles. It was clear that he was joking with the Qianjun Douluo.
"Alright, alright. Let's hurry back. Those who should be in seclusion should be in seclusion. Those who should be taking care of children should be taking care of children."
While flying...
A group of Tributes had been watching Lin Feng's side for a long time. Guangling suddenly spoke up. "Great Priest, you say if we all go up together, can we successfully beat this boy up now? This child should still be beaten a few more times while he's young. Look at him now, we almost can't beat him even if we want to."
The Golden Crocodile sneered and said to the others, "You don't know, right? This fellow Guangling had previously challenged Xiao Feng to a fight. What he was thinking of was to get back a little face for our Xue'er, and at the same time, to test out Xiao Feng's means at this time."
"With his current strength as a peak level 97 Super Douluo, before he set off, he was so full of confidence, saying he could fight for several rounds."
"The result was that the moment he showed his head, he was instantly killed by Xiao Feng. It really made me laugh to death, hahaha."
Guangling's face changed slightly, as if his shortcoming had been exposed. But he then immediately recovered his free and unrestrained smile. "Hmph, so what? At least I dared to try. Unlike you old fellows, who can only talk idly here. Besides, that boy is so strong now. We might not necessarily gain an advantage even if we join forces. But this courage, do you have it?"
He changed the subject. "To be honest, my hands have been a little itchy recently. Are any of you old brothers interested in joining me? Xiao Feng's means are endless. With just me alone, I can only force out his Five-Colored Divine Light."
"Although we might not necessarily win, if we spar, maybe we can learn something from him. After all, this boy is a miraculous existence."
Hearing this, the Qianjun Douluo laughed loudly. "Guangling, oh Guangling, your personality still hasn't changed. You always like to challenge so much. However, what you said also makes sense. To spar with the boy Lin Feng, perhaps we can really gain something."
"But today is clearly not the time. He has just broken through, and his aura has not yet completely stabilized. Looking at the situation over there, he still has big things to do. If we go up at this time, won't we be disturbing his 'quiet cultivation'?"
The usually taciturn Jiangmo Douluo rarely spoke up. "A group of old fellows asking for a lesson from a junior who is who knows how many years younger. Truly shameful."
The Guangling Douluo thought for a moment and felt that what they said also made sense. So he nodded. "Alright, then let's wait until we have a chance to spar with him in the future. But, speaking of which, don't you think the speed of the boy Lin Feng's growth is really too fast? How long has it been, and he has already broken through to the divine level. It's really enviable and jealous."
"Yes. At the same age as you, Xiao Feng has already broken through to such a realm."
Jiangmo looked at the Qianjun Douluo with confusion. "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Guangling is 95 this year."
"Ha, with that face of his, he has charmed thousands of young girls in Spirit City. You don't know, this old fellow sneaks out to play from time to time. The rate of turning heads when he walks on the street is so high."
"When he meets a young girl who comes to strike up a conversation, he just says he's just turned eighteen~"
"When he comes back, he boasts to me with a smile. For decades, he's really old in age but not in heart. Eighteen for decades. Don't you think he's the same age as Xiao Feng?"
"Pfft."
---
And on the other side, Lin Feng was surrounded by Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and the others.
"Xiao Feng, what you were doing just now was..." Qian Renxue was the first to speak, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and amazement.
Lin Feng nodded lightly. "Yes, I broke through. And, this breakthrough has given me a deeper understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. I feel that I am getting closer and closer to the true divine level."
Qian Renxue nodded. "No wonder something was off. Have you just reached the level of a divine official?" She looked at Gu Yuena.
The latter nodded. "Yes. But he has indeed stepped into the domain of a god."
Lin Feng smiled faintly, looked at Qian Renxue, and explained, "That's right. My current power has already surpassed that of a demigod, but I have not yet condensed my own god-seat. It can be said that I am already standing on the threshold of the divine level. I just need one opportunity to truly step into a third-level god."
"It's even possible that before I condense my god-seat, my own strength can already reach that of a third-level god, or even higher."
He continued, "It's just as I thought. The spinal column is also an existence that cannot be ignored. Dong'er, the soul rings of your other martial soul can be used to condense a new-style soul core here. I will assist you in completing this process. In this way, your strength will also have a qualitative leap."
The corner of Bibi Dong's mouth lifted slightly. She glanced at the Gu Yuena at her side. "Alright. Just go to my place and shape it with your own hands."
For her, who had learned that Gu Yuena had been madly with Lin Feng for seven days and seven nights not long ago, this was a good opportunity to turn the tables. She continued, "Of course, if Xue'er wants to come and see, she can."
Qian Renxue's eyes widened. What is this fellow talking about? These things, to talk about them in private and to tease each other was fine. How could she really say it to Xiao Feng with such a hint? She transmitted her voice to Bibi Dong.
"What are you doing~"
"You and I both know Xiao Feng. Let alone you and me, even if Sister Ling Yuan and Ah Yin really agreed to that... that kind of shameful thing!"
"He would be so excited he would jump up. You fellow, you just talk big. Seeing that Gu Yuena wanted to charm Xiao Feng, why did you have to mention me?" Her earlobes were red.
Bibi Dong, on the other hand, responded without a care. "Talk big? In our late-night conversation last night, you were the one who was best at bragging. Now you don't dare? To use Xiao Feng's words, you are just a keyboard warrior."
"Hmph."
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Ling Yuan nodded with satisfaction, patted Ah Yin's shoulder, and seeing the latter look over with confusion, transmitted her voice, "The two empresses have started. What are you preparing to do?"
"Do what?" Ah Yin tilted her head.
"What we talked about last night? You were looking down all the time. You didn't listen, did you?"
"Ah?!" Ah Yin lowered her head, a blush climbing onto her cheeks. "I... I, that... that... I'll listen to you."
"Haha, fine."
It was estimated that neither Bibi Dong nor Gu Yuena had expected that Ah Yin, whom they had thought was on their side, in the end, when facing the problem of Lin Feng, was actually the closest to Ling Yuan. But there was no other way. Who made Ling Yuan the great synthesizer of the "Mother Ye's Strategy Guide"?
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. No way. Is the hint in these words real or fake? To play so big?
He looked at Qian Renxue. Seeing her calm expression, he denied in his heart, It must be fake!
Gu Yuena lifted the restriction here. The few of them looked at each other and smiled. Then, with a move of their figures, they all went towards the small wooden house in the forest.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, went to the room in the library to finish recording the morning's notes before bringing them back.
However, just as he was stepping into the room in the library, a wisp of an emerald-green beautiful figure quietly appeared, just like that sitting on the bed where Lin Feng had always sat cross-legged. Her beautiful hair was like a waterfall, her two eyes tightly closed, as if she were one with this quiet space.
Her appearance made the entire library room be filled with a faint vitality and vigor. Even the dust in the air seemed to be jumping happily.
Lin Feng's heart was shocked. His spiritual power instantly probed outwards but found that it was blocked by a layer of a soft green light. This layer of green light was not aggressive. On the contrary, it gave him a warm and intimate feeling. But it was precisely this gentle energy that made it impossible for him to probe outwards and inform others of the situation here.
The two qis of yin and yang had already clung to his body, and the five-colored divine light shone in his hands.
To be able to, in front of his current self, silently invade this place, it must be a god. Life? Or Nature?
His spiritual power was not a simple divine official level, yet she could shield it. After being suppressed by the plane, to still have such strength, I'm afraid it's Life.
He did not rashly make a move, but waited for the other party to speak first.
The two waited for a long time, as if both were waiting for the other to speak first.
...
Another long time passed. Finally.
"Your strength is very strong. But fortunately, the power of this incarnation is still enough," the Goddess of Life said indifferently.
It's unknown if it was an illusion, but he always felt her tone carried a hint of resentment.
