Xuanwu War Sovereign

"He passed the eighteenth level!"

Below the Demon Refining Ancient Tower, the expressions of many young experts turned solemn as they saw the eighteenth lantern corresponding to Qin Feng light up.

Passing the eighteenth level meant that Qin Feng had defeated three Great Divine Power Users at the Early-Martial Arts Great Power Stage in a single attempt.

This was by no means a fluke!

At this moment, aside from Gongsun Hong and Jian Zongyuan, six other prodigies among the twelve—Ye Guangji, Taishu Fengyun, Gongyang Zi, Yang Changsheng, Red Flame Crossbow, and Zhi Yao—had also entered the Demon Refining Ancient Tower one after another.

Currently, Chunyu Fengshen still held the top spot with twenty-four Points!

The nineteenth level!

Silently, a figure materialized in the vast Great Desolate. Qin Feng appeared inside a new space, his vision filled with lush, primordial green life.

Lightly sensing the forest around him, Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and spoke.

"Come out!"

The tree shadows were Bosha, a gentle breeze rustled by, and his voice carried far into the distance, yet there was not the slightest movement.

’It seems my method of "knocking" is wrong!’

Qin Feng smiled. With a wave of his great sleeve, a ball of Flame surged forth. The next moment, a tidal wave of fire swept into the forest. Vast swathes of woods, and even the very land, were instantly turned to ash within the inferno.

The rolling Flame spread out, transforming his entire field of vision into a sea of fire.

After the sea of fire passed, a vast expanse was left scorched black, with only ashes remaining as far as the eye could see.

RUMBLE!

The sky turned gloomy, and dark clouds pressed down from above!

PITTER-PATTER!

Qin Feng looked up in surprise as countless raindrops fell like strings of pearls!

It was a torrential downpour!

The rain fell, extinguishing the embers and mixing with the ashes on the ground to form patches of fertile black mud. To the naked eye, countless roots in the soil sparked with Vitality.

SPROUT!

To Qin Feng’s incredibly sharp hearing, the sound of that Vitality pushing through the soil was like a clap of thunder. Countless green shoots broke through the earth, unfurling layer by layer. Like a green carpet spreading over the scorched ashes, the vast forest regrew in the blink of an eye.

This new primordial forest was even more lush and brimming with Vitality than the last.

This miraculous scene was breathtaking. The Flame contained within Qin Feng’s Chaos Fire Tribulation was no ordinary flame; it was a Top-Spirit Fire, and it even contained a Divine Fire like the Fire of Hope.

He had been certain that his fire had not just destroyed the roots, but had completely annihilated the ashes, reverting them into the most fundamental Chaos Primordial Qi.

It should have been impossible for anything to sprout again.

Yet, this incredible scene had unfolded right before Qin Feng’s eyes!

After a moment of surprise, a cold smile touched the corner of Qin Feng’s mouth. "Come out. Stop hiding and playing mysterious games. The apex of death is life. This cycle of life and death, of withering and flourishing through the seasons, is truly marvelous, but it can’t fool me!"

’Life and Death Mystical Meaning!’

This wasn’t the first time Qin Feng had encountered it. He had witnessed it before in Lady Bai Gu’s Bone Purgatory Cave Heaven.

He had even personally helped Lady Bai Gu refine the Life and Death Origin Altar.

This cycle of seasonal decay and growth was a form of the Life and Death Mystical Meaning. It was similar in principle to Lady Bai Gu’s ability to turn death into life and life into death—different paths leading to the same destination.

"Young Master, what keen insight!" A soft sigh echoed. Amidst the countless points of green light in the forest, a colossal face appeared in the sky above.

It had long green hair, and its face was half-young and half-ancient. Yet, the two sides were exceptionally harmonious. It didn’t look strange or awkward at all; instead, it evoked a sense of perfection.

This was a Great Power from the Wood King Clan!

This Great Power before him was clearly stronger than the Martial Dao Great Powers from the sixteenth, seventeenth, and even eighteenth levels.

He had actually used the Life and Death Profound Mysteries to gradually refine this entire dimension, forming a new space.

While this was not yet on the level of a Martial Dao Great Power’s Lifebound Cave Heaven, he was clearly far stronger than the previous Great Powers!

Qin Feng faintly felt a trace of pressure!

The Wood King Clan Great Power stared at Qin Feng with chilling greed in his eyes and chuckled darkly. "However, Young Master, you’ve guessed one thing wrong. My true body has been before you this entire time. I was never hiding!"

He had sensitively detected the supremely abundant life force within Qin Feng’s body. If he devoured Qin Feng, not only would his power be fully restored, but it would advance even further!

"You’re this forest? No, you’re this entire world. You actually refined your very essence into this subsidiary space of the Demon Refining Ancient Tower, becoming a part of the tower itself?" Qin Feng was greatly astonished.

Qin Feng had a flash of insight. "No wonder you can wield Space Power again. You’ve already begun to break free from the shackles of this space. Given a few more chances, you might just continue to grow stronger, gain more freedom, and perhaps even become an overlord within the Demon Refining Ancient Tower!"

Exhaling lightly, Qin Feng couldn’t help but be shaken by his opponent’s ingenuity.

The Wood King Clan member gave a sinister smile. "Kid, you guessed right. But since you know my secret, you’re destined to never leave this space! You’ll become its nourishment!"

RUMBLE!

The moment his voice fell, countless Ancient Woods grew frantically. Their thick branches, like a host of Cyan Dragons, shot toward Qin Feng to entangle him.

"You want to devour me? Fine. Today, I’ll devour you first!"

A Zheng Ning glint, like a flash of cold lightning, crossed Qin Feng’s eyes. ’When all is said and done, this space is primarily constructed from the power of a single Spring and Autumn Life and Death Law. As long as I can break the power of that Law, this space will fall apart.’

The Star River True Power surging through his body transformed into Innate Yin and Yang Qi. Two streams of this Innate Yin and Yang Qi shot out against the oncoming vines and roots, meeting them head-on. Wherever they passed, the countless thick, Cyan Dragon-like Ancient Woods were instantly shredded and converted into the purest Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, which was then devoured by the Innate Yin and Yang Qi.

"Yin and Yang Qi... no, that’s Innate Yin and Yang Qi!" The Wood King Clan Great Power’s face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Innate Yin and Yang Qi was a form of Innate Primordial Energy, far superior to countless other types of Primordial Qi.

The power of the Innate Yin and Yang Qi to shred and create all things was simply not something his half-baked Space Power could hope to suppress.

Unless one used true Cave Heaven Power, there was no way to stop its annihilating force!

RUMBLE!

With incredible violence, stalk after stalk of Qing Mu in the forest was shredded into pure Primordial Qi by the two black-and-white, Divine Dragon-like streams of Innate Yin and Yang Qi.

With every section of forest it devoured, the Innate Yin and Yang Qi grew a bit stronger.

"No!"

Terror appeared on the Great Power’s face!

The Wood King Clan Great Power’s entire being was fused with the forest; he was completely powerless to resist, able only to watch as his ’body’ was destroyed and devoured, inch by inch.

He begged and pleaded for mercy, but Qin Feng paid him no mind whatsoever!

Two hours later, the vast forest was completely annihilated, accompanied by a barely audible, tragic scream.

A figure shot out like a bolt of lightning.

At this point, the entire Space was as if a hole had been torn in it, its very heart missing!

A powerful Qi Force emanated from Qin Feng. Having devoured this Wood King Clan Giant alive, the surging Star River True Power in his body roiled so violently it seemed about to tear through the heavens!

With eyes like lightning and the bearing of a God-Demon, his wild hair dancing, he circulated the Eight Desolates Undying Profound Technique. The rampaging Star River True Power surged into a certain place deep within his body.

Within his head, two hidden stars lit up in succession, like points of starlight in the pitch-black darkness.

’This is the second and third Divine Treasure True Acupoints of the 4th Layer of the Eight Desolates Undying Body: Ling and Yao Jing!’

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up with immense joy. A savage aura shot out from his pupils, CRACK, like two bolts of Thunderbolt!

After awakening these two Divine Treasure True Acupoints, he had now awakened three of the ten.

As long as he could refine the remaining seven Divine Treasure True Acupoints, he would finally temper the last flaw in his body and, in a single stroke, reach the 5th Layer Realm of the Eight Desolates Undying Body, where he could be reborn from a single drop of blood!
