Chapter 1235 – Descent of an Ancient G.o.d
Only once all the nearby teleportation arrays were destroyed did Zhao Feng finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He had completely left the Gulong Zone and was now in the Tianyun Zone.
But this did not mean that Zhao Feng was safe, only that he had escaped the greatest danger.
“You’re… Zhao Feng!” three guards near the teleportation array called out in alarm.
Although this area did not belong to the Gulong Zone, it shared a border. Zhao Feng had made such a large ruckus in the Gulong Zone that these people naturally knew a little about what had happened.
Of course, the people of the Tianyun Zone had never imagined that Zhao Feng would actually manage to escape the clutches of so many of the Gulong Zone’s factions. It was rumored that Zhao Feng had obtained some wondrous treasure in the Gulong Zone and also imprisoned the Quasi-G.o.ds and True G.o.ds of several dozen factions, sending an unprecedented earthquake through the Gulong Zone.
The three guards couldn’t help but speculate about what sort of treasure Zhao Feng had obtained. However, they only thought about it. They were just DemiG.o.ds – people Zhao Feng could kill with a snap of his fingers.
At this moment, several dozen bright white lights shot out from a vast complex of palaces in the distance. These people were all the higher-ranked experts of this faction. They had sensed the disturbance near the teleportation arrays and came to see what was going on.
“Let’s go!” Zhao Feng took the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon and the others into the s.p.a.cetime Robe Dimension and immediately used Instant Movement.
He hadn’t teleported very far, so even if he destroyed the teleportation arrays of this faction, the Ancient G.o.d from the Gulong Zone wouldn’t need long to catch up.
“Instant Movement…? Zhao Feng!” The old patriarch of this faction’s eyes widened in shock.
He was a Rank Four True G.o.d, but he could not use Instant Movement, so if Zhao Feng wanted to leave, no one present could stop him.
And besides, none of them dared to stop him even if they could.
“Report this matter to our superiors!” the old patriarch ordered a middle-aged man next to him.
The Tianyun Zone had no grudge with Zhao Feng, but the magnificent treasures on his person made it so that everyone was interested in him. Such an important matter naturally needed to be reported to their ruling faction.
…
After fleeing several million li, Zhao Feng stopped to take a breather.
“Even if my pursuers from the Gulong Zone chase me all the way to the Tianyun Zone, it won’t be so easy to find me anymore.” Zhao Feng’s face slightly relaxed as he slowed his speed.
The factions that Zhao Feng had offended were all in the Gulong Zone. Violet Night Hall was among them, and one third of the factions in the Gulong Zone needed to heed its orders. However, this was different in the Tianyun Zone; Violet Night Hall had no influence on the factions of this area.
“But the Tianyun Zone is adjacent to the Gulong Zone…. The news that I have valuable treasures on me is probably already known by the major factions of this place.” Zhao Feng’s expression suddenly froze.
There was no one who wasn’t interested in treasure. Even someone who had no grudge with Zhao Feng would immediately attack him upon learning about all the treasure he had.
Thus, even though Zhao Feng was now in the Tianyun Zone, he still needed to be very low-key. It was for this reason that Zhao Feng continued to use the teleportation arrays of ordinary four-star factions to move around.
Only after fleeing a certain distance did Zhao Feng dare to enter a nearby Exchange Spiritual Hall.
One day, in an Exchange Spiritual Hall on the western end of the Tianyun Zone, Zhao Feng randomly selected a cultivation chamber in the Cultivation PaG.o.da. After entering the chamber, he immediately entered the s.p.a.cetime Robe Dimension.
“Master, can I have a few Intent Crystals to advance my Fire Intent?” the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon pleaded.
“No problem,” Zhao Feng answered.
As the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon recovered more of its cultivation, it began to require more and more resources. It was better to just give it a few Intent Crystals so that it could improve its strength and recover its cultivation on its own.
At this moment, Zhao Feng saw a sight that left him dumbstruck.
He saw an egg!
Zhao Feng didn’t remember there being an egg among his cultivation materials. However, Zhao Feng quickly realized that the color and inscriptions on this egg were extremely similar to those of the egg he had obtained from the Floating Crest Trial. The only difference was that this egg was a little larger.
“This is… the little thieving cat?” Zhao Feng’s calm face contorted in shock.
Earlier, he realized that there was something off about the little thieving cat’s condition. He hadn’t expected that, the next time he came in, the little thieving cat would have turned into an egg.
“Correct!” The Black Destruction Serpent Dragon nodded as it gave the egg a strange glance. It had been given quite a terrible fright when the little thieving cat first turned into an egg, and it ended up observing it for a very long time.
“Does breaking into the Heavenly Divine Realm require becoming an egg?” Zhao Feng felt at a loss for words.
When the little thieving cat mentioned that it wanted to break into the Heavenly Divine Realm, Zhao Feng hadn’t thought much about it. However, Zhao Feng never imagined that the little thieving cat would have to turn into an egg to do so.
Zhao Feng had never heard about any of the ancient races needing to turn into an egg to reach the Heavenly Divine Realm, so he was rather shocked and curious.
Bzzzz!
Zhao Feng used his left eye to peer at the egg.
“What a powerful barrier!” Zhao Feng was immediately stunned. The barrier around the egg was like the one around the five-colored crystalline palace.
At the same time, Zhao Feng felt a ripple deep within his soul. This was from the spirit pet contract that Zhao Feng had with the little thieving cat; Zhao Feng could sense the little thieving cat’s resistance. Thus, Zhao Feng did not continue his attempts to see through this egg that the little thieving cat had transformed into.
Swis.h.!.+
A five-colored crystal sphere appeared in Zhao Feng’s hand, within which was a five-colored crystalline palace.
With a thought, Zhao Feng entered the palace. A moment later, he was deluged with attacks.
Zhao Feng had long ago noticed this coming, so when he entered the palace, he had ordered the palace’s energies to protect him.
“Release me!”
“Let us go!”
Furious roars echoed through the palace. After being imprisoned for so long, they naturally found it hard to maintain a good mood.
“You’re looking down on Violet Night Hall too much! It won’t be long before the experts of Violet Night Hall capture you, and then you’ll wish that you were dead!” Quasi-G.o.d Zi Feng stared at Zhao Feng with cold and sinister eyes. He had always been confident that Zhao Feng would be captured by Violet Night Hall, and this five-colored palace would fall into Violet Night Hall’s hands.
“I forgot to tell all of you; I am now in the Tianyun Zone.” Zhao Feng faintly smiled as he walked to the side.
“What? The Tianyun Zone?”
“You managed to get out of the Gulong Zone!?”
The experts imprisoned within the palace felt their minds collapse. Even the experts of Violet Night Hall began to fill with despair.
Zhao Feng casually strolled through the palace, lightly plucking out a few Intent Crystals, and then took his leave.
After giving the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon sufficient Intent Crystals, he went to Zhao Wan and gave him a bunch of Intent Crystals suffused with Five Elements Intent. As the owner of the Eye of Myriad Forms, Zhao Wan would be greatly aided by these Intent Crystals, their effects on him even surpa.s.sing their effects on Zhao Feng.
Thump!
Zhao Feng seated himself cross-legged on the ground and began to use Intent Crystals to cultivate. Gripping an Intent Crystal in his hand, Zhao Feng could sense Five Elements Intent flowing into this mind, allowing him to comprehend and experience it.
“What an incredible effect!” Zhao Feng was pleasantly surprised.
It took only a few moments before he felt his Five Elements Intent advancing.
Intent Crystals were the best items with which to cultivate Intent. The lowest level of Intent Crystal needed an Ancient G.o.d to condense, so ordinary four-star factions didn’t possess even one. Four-and-a-half-star factions would have an extremely small number of Intent Crystals, which they gave to the best prodigies of their faction to use.
While cultivating his Five Elements Intent, Zhao Feng divided his mind to cultivate other aspects as well.
Ever since the Gulong Martial Gathering, Zhao Feng had been embroiled in numerous dangers. This constant mortal pressure squeezed out his potential, so his cultivation now progressed very smoothly, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds.
After one month, Zhao Feng left the cultivation chamber and continued on his journey. Han Ning’er had indicated that, since they were not yet out of danger, she was not willing to slow down Zhao Feng, so she spent all her time in Zhao Feng’s Illusion City Little World.
Five years later, in the central region of the Tianyun Zone, a man and woman arrived outside an Exchange Spiritual Hall controlled by the Ghost River Race, immediately attracting the attention of the nearby crowd.
This pair was naturally Zhao Feng and Han Ning’er. Now that these two were in the central region of the Tianyun Zone, they no longer needed to remain hidden. Zhao Feng also did not need to spend day and night on the road; he could occasionally visit an Exchange Spiritual Hall to relax.
“What a beautiful woman!” A few experts who had been preparing to enter the Exchange Spiritual Hall exclaimed in wonder at Han Ning’er’s beautiful appearance and demeanor.
There were also a few women peering at Zhao Feng with s.h.i.+ning eyes.
In comparison to when he just left the Gulong Zone, Zhao Feng’s strength had taken an extremely large leap. The most obvious was that Zhao Feng’s Five Elements Intent had reached Level Three, and his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique had reached the peak of the 11th level. Relying purely on this Level Three Five Elements Intent and his peak-stage Five Elements Divine Power, Zhao Feng could fight back against a Rank Five True G.o.d.
My strength should be enough for me to fight on equal terms with the Gulong Zone’s strongest prodigy, Quasi-G.o.d Heaven Swallower! A hint of pride appeared on Zhao Feng’s face.
All of this was due to the Intent Crystals of that palace. Thus, one could say that it had been worth Zhao Feng putting himself in mortal danger to s.n.a.t.c.h that palace.
After paying the fee of G.o.d Crystals, Zhao Feng entered the Exchange Spiritual Hall. He needed to find a new map, and he also wanted to try out the delicacies of this Exchange Spiritual Hall.
But at this moment, the Ancient G.o.d Seal within Zhao Feng’s Interspatial Dimension began to tremble, the blue inscriptions upon it flas.h.i.+ng with a sparkling l.u.s.ter.
“What’s going on?” Zhao Feng entered his Interspatial Dimension.
“This is…? Not good!” Zhao Feng suddenly realized something and grimaced.
When he first entered the Ancient Desolate Realm of G.o.ds, Zhao Feng rarely used the Ancient G.o.d Seal in order to not attract any attention to himself from the faction behind True G.o.d Tian Fa, but later on, he had gradually forgotten about this matter. After all, in his view, the faction that True G.o.d Tian Fa belonged was probably very far away and would never be able to find him.
But the strangeness of the Ancient G.o.d Seal was like an alarm bell ringing in Zhao Feng’s mind.
“Let’s go!” Zhao Feng took Han Ning’er into his Illusion City Little World and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the distant horizon turned dark.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Pitch-black clouds resounding with the angry howls of ghosts and monsters surged out, this intimidating pressure causing everyone in the Exchange Spiritual Hall to tremble in shock. A black-skinned middle-aged man floated in the center of this black storm of clouds, monstrous violet tattoos on his face imbued with an extremely evil and dangerous aura.
This man was none other than Ancient G.o.d Black Heaven!
“An Ancient G.o.d is coming to this Exchange Spiritual Hall!”
“I wonder which Ancient G.o.d it is?”
The sounds of conversation came from within the hall as everyone looked reverentially at that approaching figure. This Exchange Spiritual Hall was run by the Ghost River Race, which was only a four-and-a-half-star faction, so Ancient G.o.ds were a very rare sight.
Suddenly, the array surrounding the Exchange Spiritual Hall exploded into bits.
“What’s going on!? That Ancient G.o.d expert destroyed the array!”
“What’s he doing!?”
Everyone in the Exchange Spiritual Hall instantly panicked. They all believed that this Ancient G.o.d was just pa.s.sing through, but now, it appeared that something was wrong.
“Haha, it’s you!”
Ancient G.o.d Black Heaven held a small piece of metal in his hand, and his eyes were focused on a golden-haired boy within the Exchange Spiritual Hall.
