Lu Feng, who had been observing all of this happen, couldn’t help but go silent.
He had been helping Lu Sheng behind the scenes since the day he was awakened, and most of Lu Sheng’s opportunities were obtained because of him.
Even right now, they were here for the opportunity mentioned by the map because Lu Feng felt that this opportunity wasn’t as simple as it seemed to be.
He had also recovered considerably, his soul’s power increasing significantly.
In the meantime, he also discovered that Lu Sheng possessed a unique Bloodline which he couldn’t figure out the origins of.
He was simply nothing short of a genius, that was why he fully decided to teach Lu Sheng everything he knew and make him an official successor when he recovers.
However, the opponent this time was a genius even greater than that of Lu Sheng!
At this moment, Lu Qingfeng had already aimed his attack.
But all the cultivators were somewhat nervous.
Why had he aimed his bow...upwards?
Lu Qingfeng, aiming the bow up into the sky, gave a final cold stare to all the people below before shooting the flaming arrow enhanced by the Extreme Yang Compression Divine Art into the air.
*Swoosh!*
*Sizzle!*
The moment the arrow rose up nearly a hundred meters into the sky, it made a sizzling sound that reverberated throughout the mountain range before the arrow suddenly cloned into hundreds of flaming arrows and reverted directions midair, plummeting down like a rain of fire towards all directions.
Instantly upon seeing this, panic ensued among all the cultivators as some frantically started forming hand seals, using various defensive Dharma Artifacts and techniques while many began escaping with escape or movement techniques and spells.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Everywhere the flaming arrows landed, loud explosions occurred, turning the entire radius of tens of miles into a sea of fire.
All the cultivators that were caught up in this sea of fire incinerated instantly, not even their ashes left behind.
In a single breath of time, 20 cultivators of varying cultivation bases were burned alive!
Witnessing this scene, not just Lu Sheng and his group, but even Yi Yun and all the high level experts were horrified.
A thought appeared in all of their minds.
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
If they didn’t do something, they were all going to die!
However, in the next few moments, more and more cultivators died, burning to their deaths.
In less than 10 seconds, more than 50 cultivators died!
The impact of the flaming arrows was so great that even the volcanoes surrounding them began to shake, as if triggered by the onslaught brought by Lu Qingfeng.
*BOOM!*
A loud explosion rang out from behind as a massive volcano erupted, lava flowing in all directions.
At this moment, a flaming arrow flew towards Yi Yun, instantly appearing infront of him before he even had a chance to react.
His entire life flashed before his eyes.
He couldn’t help but wonder why he offended Lu Qingfeng, why he supported Lu Sheng, and why he even entered the secret realm in the first place.
His life felt like a series of mistakes to him.
*Boom!*
All his protective spells and Dharma Artifacts shatteter Instantaneously, his body blown off to smithereens, not even having a chance to resist.
Following his death, all the other cultivators at the Ninth Stage of Acquired Realm were also incinerated one by one.
"Sheng, there’s no other way to escape, let me take over your body!" Lu Feng said to Lu Sheng, his voice showing a hint of desperation.
"No, ancestor! If you take over my body for even a couple of seconds, your soul will start to dissipate and all the strength you’ve recovered up till now will be wasted! Not just that, what will I do with you gone for so many years? I can’t let you do this!" Lu Sheng declined firmly.
"Then, what are you going to do? Can you even escape from that fellow? This is the only way!"
Saying this, he instantly took control of Lu Feng’s body, without even caring about his opinion.
All would be well if they could survive!
He instantly began forming hand seals, ignoring all the chaos around him as the aura emanating from Lu Sheng’s body changed drastically, drawing his fellow disciples’ attention as they all continuously avoided the rain of flaming arrows.
However, at this moment, Lu Qingfeng’s gaze landed on them as he raised his hand infront of him.
A terrifying wave of Yang Spiritual Energy formed, rushing towards Lu Sheng and the others.
This was a full powered attack of Lu Qingfeng!
The Radiant Dawn Sacred Fire!
*Sizzle!*
A scorching sound was heard as the wave of Spiritual Energy burned everything down in its path, even the air itself!
The temperature rose significantly, rising up to instantly a thousand degree celsius in a radius of 10 miles.
A thousand degree celsius, a cultivator of the Innate Realm could barely survive under this pressure, not to mention cultivators of the Acquired Realm!
Lu Qingfeng, having the True Yang Body, could survive under any kind of high temperature, but it still didn’t really made much of an impact since only 10 or so cultivators were left alive after the rain of flaming arrows, all of them with Dharma Artifacts resistant to the high temperature.
The heat wave made of Yang Spiritual Energy instantly approached Lu Sheng and the others, seemingly about to burn them all to their deaths.
But at that instance, a hole in the void suddenly appeared, sucking in Lu Sheng, his junior sister, and about to suck in his senior brother.
*Whoosh!*
However, just as Lu Sheng’s senior brother was also about to be sucked in by the crack in void with Lu Sheng and his junior sister on the other side, a wave of heat hit him as he spat out a mouthful of blood, but was pulled in by Lu Sheng before the heat wave of the Radiant Dawn Sacred Fire caught truly catch up to him.
It may look as if it was a lot of time, but in reality, all of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sheng and his party left the secret realm.
...
On the other hand.
"They...escaped?"
Lu Qingfeng couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, his hands clenching tight and body shaking.
"You’re telling me that it was...ALL FOR NAUGHT!?"
He screamed, his voice full of fury resonating throughout the mountain range.
*Sizzle!*
*Boom!*
A heat wave far bigger than before erupted from within him, instantly burning all things in sight.
...
It was only after a long while did Lu Qingfeng calm down.
All the cultivators from before were already dead, their belongings burnt to ashes.
"I was too careless. Letting an enemy escape like this, not to mention an enemy with talent similar to mine...it’ll be a disaster." He said to himself, taking in a deep breath.
He must have used some special method to escape the secret realm, but I’ll have to wait till the exit opens after some years, only then will I be able to chase after him.
In the meantime, I should cultivate to become even stronger.
Had it not been for the Dharma Artifacts given to me by master and spells taught by senior sister, I would’ve probably died.
I need to enhance my strength as soon as possible and kill Lu Sheng to avoid any further trouble.
With these thoughts, he nodded firmly.
From afar, Fang Jian and his people approached, still frightened by the last battle.
This person...he’s too terrifying of a genius!
...
Meanwhile, outside of the place where the secret realm opened.
Lu Sheng and the other two landed, with Lu Sheng’s senior brother about to fall on the ground before his junior sister stabilized him.
Turning to look at Lu Sheng, she asked, "Senior brother Lu, Senior brother Pei’s condition is extremely bad. If we let him be, I’m afraid he won’t be able to survive!" Her tone of voice was filled with worry.
Lu Sheng, at this point, was also internally devastated.
His entire world had been turned upside down in a single day, no, it wasn’t even a day, it was less than an hour.
"Ancestor, ancestor! Are you there? Please, at least tell me what should I do so senior brother Pei doesn’t die at the very least before going into your slumber!"
Lu Sheng was very close with his senior brother, and thus, had learned that his background was by no means simple.
He didn’t want to imagine the consequences of his senior brother dying.
"Don’t worry too much...before giving your body back to you..I injected some of my soul power into him. With it..he’ll be able to live for a hundred more years at most. That Lu Qingfeng fellow is a true genius of heaven and earth, that fire was not ordinary by any means...Lu Sheng..never, ever compete with him!"
