Chapter 355: Chapter 354: Wrath of the Myriad Stars (Part 1)
Xiaoba was still a fledgling. Unleashing its Lifebound Divine Abilities was too great a burden for it.
After this outburst of divine power, its months of hard cultivation had gone up in smoke.
If not for Qin Feng’s vast resources and the Tree of Chaos, Xiaoba wouldn’t have been able to recover for decades.
This thieving bird was usually unreliable, but at this critical moment, it had made Qin Feng see it in a new light.
Suppressing the emotion stirring in his heart, Qin Feng’s gaze fell on the gray-robed figure struggling to flee several hundred yards away.
"Damn it, what kind of bird is that? How can it be so terrifying?"
The Yin Emperor was scared out of his wits. The ugly bird’s aura was clearly that of an ordinary First-level Barbaric Beast, yet it could unleash such terrifying power, crippling an expert of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm like him in a single blow.
His lower body had been completely vaporized!
This kind of ability was simply beyond imagination.
"Could this be the hatchling of some True Spirit?"
The Yin Emperor’s heart filled with resentment, jealousy, and above all, greed.
’If I could seize a True Spirit hatchling and enslave it with a Secret Technique, the future benefits would be unimaginable.’
’Even if I can’t enslave it, killing it and refining its Essence Blood would bring unimaginable benefits to my cultivation.’
The Yin Emperor executed a Secret Technique, burning his Essence Blood to flee rapidly in the opposite direction of the City of Many Stars.
The Yin Emperor knew he was severely injured and that it was not wise to fight Qin Feng now.
"I’ll let this little bastard hold on to the Cultivation Technique and the True Spirit hatchling for now. He can’t escape anyway. Once I’ve recovered from my injuries and made a comeback, all of this is destined to fall into my hands!"
Dragging his ruined body, the Yin Emperor moved with extreme speed, like an invisible afterimage.
Qin Feng stood his ground. The Yin Emperor was an expert of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. If someone of that level was determined to escape, it was impossible to catch them unless you were an expert of the same realm.
Qin Feng had no intention of giving chase either. He knew that even if he did nothing, the gray-robed man was already dead.
Just as the Yin Emperor was about to escape from view, feeling utterly triumphant.
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, the Void trembled, and a formless giant hand slammed down. The Yin Emperor, who had been focused solely on fleeing, instantly slammed into it as if hitting an iron plate!
As if swatting a fly, the giant hand sent the Yin Emperor’s figure hurtling backward.
With a loud BANG!
The Yin Emperor’s mangled half-torso landed ten steps away from Qin Feng.
SPURT!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, and the Yin Emperor’s aura plummeted.
He was gravely injured!
This single strike from the giant hand in the Void was even more terrifying than the desperate combined attack of Qin Feng and Xiaoba.
The previously arrogant Yin Emperor was like an ant before this giant hand.
In the Void, a formless white light appeared, extending and intertwining. A massive, pure-white lotus throne materialized in mid-air, like a Bright Sun.
The sacred, flawless white light seemed to manifest a Bright Pure Land, a paradise of ultimate bliss.
A vast, formless power froze the Void. The Yin Emperor was just about to struggle when, with a loud CRACK, the power crushed him. His bones shattered inch by inch, and he violently coughed up a mouthful of blood before passing out completely.
Just a fraction of its power had been transmitted, and the Yin Emperor, an expert of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, was instantly left on the brink of death!
Such power was utterly horrifying.
A tangible gaze extended from the Void and fell upon Qin Feng.
His expression flickered slightly. Qin Feng felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on him, an abnormally terrifying pressure building in his heart.
This was a Martial Arts Giant!
Qin Feng’s expression was neither servile nor overbearing. It was clear that the massive commotion here had attracted the attention of this Martial Arts Giant.
Qin Feng was not surprised by the appearance of this Giant. Possessing the Tree of Chaos, he could perceive the smallest details and was extremely sensitive to changes in the Void.
Shortly after Xiaoba had used ’Infinite Darkness,’ Qin Feng had sensed this Giant’s arrival.
It was just that this Giant had remained hidden in the Void, not revealing itself.
Only now, seeing the Yin Emperor about to escape, did it finally intervene.
At that moment, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH! Dozens of figures tore through the sky from the distant horizon. They moved like lightning, stirring up the wind and clouds.
One by one, the figures emerged from the Sea of Clouds, their stances proud and imposing.
Most of them were experts of the Condensing Vein Realm!
These were some of the powerful Cave Masters and Mountain Lords from the area of the Three Mountains of the Spirit.
There were also a few familiar figures among them—important people from All Stars Academy.
"Elder!"
"Hall Master!"
The young experts watching quickly cleared a path when they saw these figures.
Qin Feng recognized several of these big shots, including two Hall Masters from the Celestial Punishment Hall and a few Elders from the Medicine King Hall.
"Qin Feng, it’s you?"
Gaze after gaze fell upon Qin Feng as many of the experts recognized him.
The head of the Cyan Dragon Academy.
The champion of this year’s Hidden Dragon Points Ranking!
A Fourth Grade Alchemist at fifteen years old.
The chief Alchemist of the Medicine King Hall!
Qin Feng was extremely famous.
After a surprised glance at the black-robed youth, the crowd’s attention was quickly drawn to the hazy figure in mid-air, which shone like a sun.
With expressions of shock and surprise, the crowd’s gazes filled with a heartfelt respect.
"Grandmaster Taiwei!"
"Junior Martial Uncle Taiwei!"
"Senior Brother Taiwei!"
...
Figure after figure bowed in unison. Qin Feng lowered his eyes and bowed with the crowd, though he was quite surprised inside.
The moment the lotus flower appeared, Qin Feng had recognized this Giant’s identity.
This Giant was none other than the terrifying being who had presided over the Hidden Dragon Points Competition.
Hearing how everyone addressed him, this person was actually the official Hall Master of Taiwei Hall, one of the Ziwei Three Palaces.
From within the pure white sun, a soft glow emanated, carrying a fluctuation as heavy as a mountain. The Taiwei Hall Master’s gaze fell on Qin Feng.
"Little fellow, this Venerable One recognizes you. You seem to be the champion of this year’s Hidden Dragon Points Ranking. Speak. What’s the story with this wanted criminal?"
As soon as he spoke, Qin Feng felt all the surrounding gazes suddenly lock onto him.
"A wanted criminal?" Qin Feng’s gaze fell on the gray-robed man on the ground.
The Celestial Punishment Elder, a Hall Master of the Celestial Punishment Hall, spoke up. "This man is known as the Yin Emperor. He is the Clan Leader of the Shadow Clan from the Demon God Temple. He is infamous—despicable, insidious, and a master of assassination. Many geniuses from our All Stars Academy have died by his treacherous hand!"
"However, this fiend is exceptionally cunning and cautious. If his first strike fails, he immediately flees to the four corners of the earth. We have never been able to catch him, allowing him to remain at large!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng fell silent for a moment before speaking.
"Grandmaster, this is what happened..."
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qin Feng remained calm and recounted the details of the assassination attempt. Of course, he didn’t forget to pin the matter of the Five Thieves Qi being released in All Stars Academy on the Yin Emperor.
Once Qin Feng had explained the whole story, the group of Elders could no longer sit still.
"This is outrageous! Someone actually dared to carry out an assassination in the Taiwei Three Circles!"
"How brazen! To dare come to the heartland of All Stars Academy to assassinate someone!"
"And that Ao Kun! Conspiring with an outsider to murder a fellow student of All Stars Academy! He deserves to die a thousand deaths!"
"A thorough investigation! We must investigate this thoroughly!"
...
Every Elder’s face was flushed with anger. This was a clear provocation against All Stars Academy, a slap in their faces.
After all, Qin Feng was no ordinary person.
A Fourth Grade Alchemist at fifteen! As long as a genius like him survived, he was almost certain to become a Seventh-grade Alchemy Grandmaster, or even a legendary Medicine Emperor or Medicine God.
If he were to be assassinated!
All the Elders of All Stars Academy would have to bear the sect’s wrath!
Beads of sweat formed on the Elders’ foreheads. At the same time, some of them could already feel a terrifying wave of anger emanating from the Bright Sun in the Void.
