"As brothers born of the same mother, the Supreme Bone shouldn't reject me, right?!"
Qin Feng's face twisted in pain, but he gritted his teeth and held on. He knew that if he wanted to keep running wild in this world, he couldn't just be ruthless to others—he had to be even more ruthless to himself.
If he couldn't even endure this little pain, how could he keep running wild everywhere in the future?
"You're crazy! Who stabs himself with a sword!?" ??
Zi Yuan finally came to her senses, shaken out of her shock, and hurried forward to bandage Qin Feng's wound.
But before she could even begin, the wound on Qin Feng's body started healing at a visible speed. In less than ten minutes, it had completely closed, without even leaving a scar.
Ever since Qin Feng comprehended the third heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Technique, his ability to heal himself had grown more and more monstrous. He couldn't claim to regenerate severed limbs, but regrowing a severed finger was no problem.
"What kind of monster are you?!"
Zi Yuan stared at him, dumbfounded, and her heart remained in turmoil for a long time.
An eight-year-old brat who could challenge opponents above his level was one thing, but he also possessed terrifying killing moves like the Cutting Heaven Sword Drawing Technique and the Great Mighty Dragon. Now he even had an astonishing ability to heal himself.
Damn!!
Any one of these abilities would be enough to make the old monsters of the Ancient Wasteland feel ashamed.
Yet every one of them was gathered in a single person—and that person was an eight-year-old brat. And after seeing Lin San's terrifying sword strike last night, it was clear that the Great Era of Contention had truly arrived.
The peerless Heavenly Prides of this generation were all absurdly powerful!
"You're the monster! Your whole family's full of monsters!"
Qin Feng rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath, then began tracking Lin San's escape route from the previous night.
"Wait for me!"
Zi Yuan hurried after him. She didn't dare go alone.
She had to stay by Qin Feng's side at all times, so she could cling to his coattails whenever the chance arose.
Not long after—
The two dodged the Wei Hu Gang disciples searching for them and arrived at a stone wall in the forest. On it was a black vortex, like a Black Hole capable of swallowing everything.
"Ruins!"
Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help exclaiming inwardly that this was almost too much to bear.
He had heard the Ten Ancestors talk about ruins. They were Small Worlds opened up by Great Powers, and most contained the inheritance of a Great Power, along with the Magic Treasures they had used in life.
Even without an inheritance or Magic Treasures, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could still grow inside.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have triggered a villain mission: seize the Son of Heaven's fortuitous encounter and treasure. Reward: Golden Chest ×1."
"No wonder he ignored me and went looking for Lin San."
Qin Feng couldn't help but marvel inwardly. The Son of Heaven really was unreasonable—he was practically being spoon-fed by the heavens. Meanwhile, as a villain, Qin Feng could only rely on himself to complete missions.
"What are you waiting for? Let's hurry inside!"
Zi Yuan was unusually excited.
She had come out to roam the martial world as a heroine. How could she possibly pass up a chance to explore ruins?
"Now isn't the time!"
Qin Feng looked up at the sky, found a secluded spot, and sat cross-legged to cultivate.
As a ten-year veteran bookworm, he could say with complete confidence that entering a dungeon with the protagonist was harder than surviving the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
Your teammates were likely to be sacrificed to the heavens, while all your enemies were just tools.
Once the halo activated, it didn't distinguish between friend and foe!
Better to let the bullet fly for a while. Haste makes waste.
"What do you mean?!"
Zi Yuan hurried after him to ask.
But Qin Feng showed no intention of answering. He had already entered a meditative state and begun cultivating, as spiritual energy slowly flowed into his body from the surroundings.
The Supreme Bone he had transplanted into his body earlier showed no sign of rejection. The Mysterious Runes coursing across it also began to move through his body, giving rise to a divine ability called Heavenly Tribulation Light.
"So this is the divine ability contained within the Supreme Bone?!"
The one-month Insight Halo Qin Feng had exchanged for last time was still active, so he began trying to comprehend the Heavenly Tribulation Light within the Supreme Bone.
Boom!
The void trembled, and a force of heaven and earth as vast as the ocean surged toward Qin Feng. Before this power, everything in the world seemed so insignificant.
Qin Feng struggled to breathe, like a climber ascending a mountain. Every step brought twice the pressure of the last, his feet dragging with difficulty as his body swayed.
Yet with every step came a deeper understanding of the force of heaven and earth, and the insight in his heart grew clearer and clearer.
"The Heavenly Tribulation Light in the Supreme Bone is good, but it can only serve as a supporting technique!"
Qin Feng didn't spend too much effort on the Supreme Bone. Instead, he turned his attention to his own Invincible Twin Pupils.
His cultivation was limited for now, and he had yet to unlock many of the Twin Pupils' abilities. Aside from seeing through to the essence of things, he had only awakened the ability to break down movements and slow things down.
"Do these Heavenly Prides have nothing to do but cultivate?"
Zi Yuan sat cross-legged beside him, propping her chin on her hand, unhappy. She wanted to venture into the ruins, but didn't dare, so she could only wait for Qin Feng to wake up and take her inside.
Gurgle!!
Her stomach betrayed her with a growl. Zi Yuan wanted to eat Qin Feng's chicken again.
Inside the ruins.
Lin San held his sword in one hand, alert, and a map in the other as he made his way forward.
He had originally planned to return to Heavenly Heart City with Lin Xin'er, but halfway there, he had unexpectedly obtained a tattered map. As it turned out, it fit perfectly with the map he already had, completing it.
What a coincidence!
So he left the group and came back alone to search for the ruins.
But he had run into Qin Feng on the way. Thinking of the Qin family's influence in the east, he had hesitated to open the ruins, afraid the Qin family would keep everything for themselves.
Fortunately, Qin Feng had run off with Zi Yuan last night, giving him time to explore the ruins.
Ah...
Screams rose and fell in the distance.
Lin San glanced back indifferently, knowing that the Wei Hu Gang's people had already entered the ruins.
Unlike the Qin family, which held absolute power in the east, the Wei Hu Gang posed no threat to him. The traps inside the ruins alone would give them more than enough trouble.
"I need to hurry. If the Qin family finds out, it'll be a problem!"
Following the directions on the map, Lin San successfully avoided one trap after another and headed straight for the ruins' treasure vault.
Outside the ruins.
Qin Feng had been sitting in cultivation for a long time, and the spiritual energy in his body had reached its limit.
With a bang, a muffled sound came from within him, accompanied by a wave of air that swept outward.
"It's over! He's done cultivating!"
Zi Yuan, who had been listless, perked up at once, eagerly awaiting Qin Feng's grilled chicken.
"Phew, the third level of the Transcendent Realm!"
Qin Feng let out a long breath, clearly feeling the changes in his body.
Before, if his spiritual energy could only shoot five meters from his body, after breaking through to the third level of the Transcendent Realm, it could reach ten meters, and its power was far greater than before.
Like a forty-year-old middle-aged man who could only piss on his shoes when the wind was at his back, becoming an eighteen-year-old lad who could piss ten zhang into the wind.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
A flurry of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded as more than a thousand Wei Hu Gang disciples charged out from every direction.
"Not good, they found us!"
Zi Yuan looked panicked and grabbed Qin Feng, hurrying to flee. Even with Emperor's Talent, Qin Feng couldn't hold off so many people...
