Chapter 643: Chapter 517: Disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect_2
Lin Feng’s lips curled into a smile, without hesitation, he immediately activated Devouring Stars, the powerful Devouring Power instantly engulfed thirty-six fire elementals within it.
These thirty-six fire elementals had just appeared and hadn’t even managed to take action before they were overwhelmed by Devouring Power. Their bodies immediately collapsed, turning into streams of crimson energy that surged into Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had already activated his Fiery Fire Burning Sky Technique and immediately began refining this immense Fire Attribute Spiritual Power.
Outside the Refining Fire Path, the onlookers who were watching the battle were utterly confused, completely unable to grasp what was happening!
"How... how did those fire elementals collapse on their own?"
"Yes! That young man didn’t even make a move!"
"Is there a problem with the Refining Fire Path?"
The crowd was full of doubts and discussed fervently.
Inside the Refining Fire Path, after the first batch of fire elementals were annihilated, a second batch immediately appeared.
The second batch of fire elementals were all, unsurprisingly, at the Fifth Layer realm of a Heavenly Martial Master.
Lin Feng once again activated Devouring Stars, the Devouring Power grew stronger by threefold. These fire elementals, composed of pure Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy, faced Devouring Power and were much less resistant than real martial artists, completely powerless to resist.
In an instant, the thirty-six fire elementals collapsed again, turning into a sky full of fiery red Spiritual Power, wildly rushing towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng’s Cultivation was rapidly increasing. His Fiery Fire Burning Sky Technique, aided by this pure Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy, had reached the Second Layer Realm.
Outside the Refining Fire Path, everyone was dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, faces filled with disbelief,
"What on earth is going on?"
"The Refining Fire Path didn’t have any problems! Others are still fighting."
"He didn’t make a move, why did the fire elementals collapse?"
"This person is rather eerie, look, all that Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy is gathering towards him."
The crowd was astounded, feeling profoundly shaken by these eerie methods.
Sheer strength being immense isn’t as frightening, but these incomprehensible methods are truly terrifying.
Inside the Refining Fire Path, Lin Feng’s trial continued. The third batch of fire elementals appeared, this batch having reached the Sixth Layer realm of a Heavenly Martial Master.
Facing the Sixth Layer Heavenly Martial Master fire elementals, Lin Feng still did not take action, continuing to activate Devouring Stars, the Devouring Power instantly enveloped the thirty-six fire elementals.
These thirty-six beings, strong at their core, did not collapse immediately but kept trembling intensely. Even though they didn’t collapse, they no longer had any strength left to attack.
These fire elementals, being composed of Spiritual Power, had much lower resistance against Devouring Power compared to martial artists of the same level.
Boom!
A moment later, unable to withstand the force, one of the fire elementals suddenly burst open, turning into a sky full of Spiritual Energy.
Following this, the other fire elementals, as if competing to see who could go first, kept exploding one after another. In an instant, all thirty-six fire elementals dispersed, turning into a sky full of Qi Force encasing Lin Feng.
"That feels awesome!"
A joyful smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face. This bout of devouring not only advanced his Fiery Fire Burning Sky Technique to the Third Layer Realm, but his Cultivation also greatly progressed, reaching the Peak of the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Martial Master.
Had he not recently made a breakthrough in Cultivation, making the realm a bit unstable, he would have directly entered the Fifth Layer Realm of Heavenly Martial Master.
"It seems that to raise the realms of various Cultivation Techniques in the future, I need to find locations rich in corresponding Attribute Spiritual Energy!" Lin Feng mused to himself.
This pure Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy could directly enhance Lin Feng’s power of Fire Element Technique and increase his realm in Fire Attribute Technique, other Attribute Spiritual Energies are presumably the same!
Shortly after, Lin Feng’s figure immediately disappeared from within the Refining Fire Path.
As Lin Feng’s figure vanished, outside the Refining Fire Path, pandemonium ensued.
"What kind of methods does this person possess? How is he so powerful?"
"Surpassing in cultivation by two realms and yet not needing to make a move, that’s truly horrifying!"
"This person is a monster, an absolute monster!"
Everyone was shocked beyond belief, racking their brains but unable to understand what method Lin Feng had used.
Suddenly, the scene before Lin Feng shifted, and the next moment, he appeared in a stone chamber.
The chamber was not small, roughly thirty yards in diameter, and at its center floated a fire lotus as big as a millstone, stunningly beautiful and dazzlingly brilliant.
At this moment, Hong Qingxuan and Xuan Feng were both present, and besides these two, there were seven others in the chamber, including three disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect who had passed the first stage.
One of the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples was sitting cross-legged beneath the fire lotus, eyes tightly closed and brows furrowed, undergoing some ordeal.
The others, excluding Hong Qingxuan and Xuan Feng, were all meditating nearby.
"Brother Lin Feng, you’ve arrived!" Seeing Lin Feng, Hong Qingxuan’s face broke into a joyful smile, knowing that the first test was a breeze for Lin Feng.
"Hmm, Qingxuan, what is this fire lotus?" Lin Feng asked, nodding.
"Brother Lin Feng, there are instructions here!"
Hong Qingxuan pointed to a small stone stele in the corner of the chamber.
However, remembering that Lin Feng could not read ancient text, Hong Qingxuan added, "This stage is a spiritual power test. This fire lotus has fifteen petals. By connecting with the fire lotus using one’s spiritual power and letting ten of its petals bloom, one can pass this test. Everyone has three opportunities!"
"Spiritual power?" Upon hearing this, Lin Feng’s brows raised slightly. Indeed, an artifact refiner requires strong spiritual power, it seems this test truly assesses the talent of an aspiring refiner.
Lin Feng looked at the disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect who was sitting under the fire lotus. At that moment, the disciple had caused seven of the lotus petals to bloom, while the other eight petals remained tightly closed.
In that instant, that disciple’s forehead began to sweat, evidently struggling to make ten petals bloom.
Lin Feng glanced at the others. Those who were meditating nearby had presumably already failed once or twice and were recuperating, preparing to try again.
However, Lin Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, as normally the stronger a martial artist’s strength, the stronger their spiritual power. His and Hong Qingxuan’s cultivation was amongst the lowest of the group, how could they pass this test?
Just as Lin Feng was about to ask, Xuan Feng, who was nearby, spoke up.
"Hong Junior Sister, who is this?" Xuan Feng glanced coldly at Lin Feng and asked Hong Qingxuan.
As the only direct disciple of the Xuantian Peak’s peak master, Xuan Feng knew of her, though they were not familiar and had little interaction previously.
"Xuan Senior Brother, this is Lin Feng, also a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect!" Hong Qingxuan introduced Lin Feng to Xuan Feng.
She did not mention that Lin Feng was a disciple of the Sky-reaching Peak, knowing well that the Sky-reaching Peak and the Luotian Peak often had conflicts.
"Hmm!" Xuan Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this, not recognizing Lin Feng as he was often away on expeditions.
"You’re quite impressive, managing to pass the first trial of the Refining Fire Path shows that you, too, are a talent!"
Xuan Feng looked at Lin Feng and nodded appreciatively, though his demeanor was somewhat that of an elder commending a junior.
After a moment of contemplation, Xuan Feng spoke indifferently, "Hong Junior Sister, Su Junior Brother, I am determined to obtain Ou Lianzi’s artifact refining inheritance. Since you’ve come here, consider this as an opportunity for a talent test and to broaden your experience."
Xuan Feng’s words were plain, but the implication was crystal clear.
He was straightforwardly telling Hong Qingxuan and Lin Feng that they had no chance against him!
Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan were slightly taken aback, then both frowned slightly, finding Xuan Feng overly conceited.
He is determined to obtain it?
Others are merely here to gain experience?
A trace of barely detectable mockery curled up on the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth. The inheritance of Ou Lianzi, it’s still uncertain who will get it!
Lin Feng was extremely confident in himself; whether it was his cultivation talent or his spiritual power, he far surpassed ordinary martial artists.
Though Leng Feng’s cultivation was higher and his spiritual power surely much stronger than Lin Feng’s, presumably, this spiritual power test would vary in difficulty according to different cultivation levels.
