"So strong!"
"Th-This—who said he was at the Eighth Stage of the Blood-Shifting Realm? What Blood-Shifting Realm cultivator could unleash such terrifying Sword Qi? Only the Ten Great Sequences could do that, right?!"
"Damn it... If I'd known, I wouldn't have come."
Peerless sword light descended, sweeping away everything in its path.
Among this batch of inner sect disciples were cultivators at the fifth and sixth stages of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, with the strongest having reached the Seventh Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!
Naturally, they had never thought there would be any problem with handling a mere Blood-Shifting Realm disciple.
Yet they had never expected this Blood-Shifting Realm disciple's rate of progress to far surpass their imagination.
Before the sword light carrying Seventh-Layer Sword Intent, this group of disciples' resistance was utterly futile.
No matter what methods they used, no matter what realm they were in, they could not escape a single outcome: their weapons were severed, and hundreds of bloody wounds appeared across their bodies.
Boom!
Countless disciples coughed up blood, their eyes wide.
At that moment, they gained a clear understanding of Lin Feng's strength.
With such formidable power, he likely possessed combat strength at the Seventh Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm—or even the eighth!
How was this different from the information they had received?
The Sword Qi had already dissipated, yet the scene remained a complete mess.
Lin Feng calmly looked at the disciples sprawled on the ground, wailing in pain, his gaze unmoved.
Yet inwardly, he was somewhat excited.
So this is the power of Seventy-Percent Sword Intent?
He had not even used any sword technique, and the longsword in his hand was completely ordinary, without any rank whatsoever!
Yet with a single strike, he had swept aside so many Sea of Reincarnation Realm disciples. The strongest among them had even reached the sixth stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.
Lin Feng continued forward, quickly approaching the inner sect disciples he had swept down.
Someone sharp-eyed saw Lin Feng coming closer, and his heart trembled. This man was so powerful, and he looked like the sort who killed without batting an eye!
Although inner sect disciples were forbidden from killing each other, crippling one of their arms was no issue.
And Lin Feng had just reached the side of those disciples.
A disciple immediately said in a trembling voice, "Senior Brother, please be magnanimous! I was only bewitched into coming here. If I had known you were so powerful, even if I had a hundred times the courage, I wouldn't dare offend you!"
Lin Feng radiated overwhelming pressure. Merely standing there gave people a suffocating feeling.
Coupled with the terrifying might of his previous sword strike, even more people feared that he would cripple them, and pleas for mercy rang throughout the area.
The chattering pleas for mercy made Lin Feng frown.
It was far too boring to bicker with this pack of lackeys.
He only wanted to hurry up and cultivate!
"Stop blocking the way," Lin Feng said flatly.
Many people froze at first, their hearts leaping into their throats. They thought Lin Feng was about to unleash some peerless divine might again, and every one of them trembled. It was as though they were not facing a disciple who had just entered the inner sect at all, but someone ranked on the genius list!
Someone stood up, intending to try and flee.
But Lin Feng suddenly remembered that these people had come and wasted his time. If he did not collect some compensation from them—
That would be letting them off too easily.
His cold voice sounded once more.
"Wait."
The hearts of the many disciples trembled. No matter how fast they were, they stopped in their tracks. After all, could they possibly be faster than Lin Feng's sword light?
Recalling the might from earlier, no one dared defy Lin Feng's command.
"Leave behind all the Origin Stones on you," Lin Feng said calmly, his tone allowing no refusal!
Bitterness appeared on many disciples' faces. Origin Stones were essential for cultivation. Why had they wanted to come and seize Lin Feng's cultivation cave?
Was it not to cultivate faster and raise their realms?
Origin Stones had precisely such an effect.
But once Lin Feng spoke, no one dared disobey.
Clatter, clatter.
At once, many disciples searched themselves for Origin Stones. Under Lin Feng's sharp gaze, these inner sect disciples did not dare hide anything, taking out every Origin Stone they possessed.
One after another.
Lin Feng counted carefully. Altogether, these inner sect disciples had contributed more than two hundred thousand Origin Stones.
The amount was quite considerable!
Of course, it was also everything these disciples owned.
"Scram."
Lin Feng waved his hand. Now that they had no more value to him, he could not be bothered with them.
The many inner sect disciples felt as though they had received a pardon and hurriedly fled. Before leaving, however, some gazed with extreme reluctance at the spatial rings in Lin Feng's hands. Those contained their entire fortunes!
"If you refuse to accept this, you may challenge me anytime," Lin Feng suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the disciples fled even faster. Challenge him?
His Sword Qi was horrifying beyond belief, and no one knew how far his strength had reached. Even someone at the Eighth Stage of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm might not be able to suppress him steadily. What kind of bear's heart and leopard's gall would someone need to challenge him? Did they not want to live?
Soon, all the inner sect disciples had left, and the surroundings became quiet.
Holding the many spatial rings, Lin Feng's gaze flickered.
In a sense, these disciples were good people. They had taken the initiative to come to his door and deliver Origin Stones.
Added to the two hundred thousand Origin Stones Song Yiling had given him earlier—
The extra Origin Stones he had gained had already reached four hundred thousand!
It could be said that Lin Feng's current wealth would make him a great tycoon among ordinary disciples without Venerable Realm backing. If he went out, people might even set their sights on him!
"I need to cultivate quickly. The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body craves the world's origin energy every moment!" Lin Feng thought as he entered his cultivation cave.
Sitting cross-legged, he counted the Origin Stones on him. There were more than a million!
With a casual wave, he released several hundred thousand Origin Stones. In an instant, the origin energy within the cave became so abundant it seemed ready to explode.
Lin Feng directly activated the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body. His hundred apertures opened, and every pore across his body absorbed origin energy at full force!
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Lin Feng now resembled a massive black hole, swallowing all the world's origin energy around him!
The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body possessed towering vitality and blood, but that vitality and blood also required origin energy to sustain it. With over a million Origin Stones, who knew how long it would take to absorb them all?
Lin Feng entered seclusion to cultivate.
Meanwhile, his deeds began spreading within a small circle. After all, he had swept aside numerous inner sect disciples with one sword strike, including many cultivators at the fifth and sixth stages of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. Even someone at the eighth stage might not have been able to accomplish such a feat, yet Lin Feng had done it!
Several days later.
Three more disciples entered the inner sect!
These three had participated in the disciple examination. They were Xu Jun, Chen Yunjing, and Wei Changfeng. The moment Xu Jun entered the inner sect, battle intent surged in his eyes. After losing to Lin Feng, he had cultivated with extreme diligence and asked the elders of his Lineage for a powerful cultivation method. It had now reached minor mastery, and his strength had risen greatly!
Now that the three had entered the inner sect through their Lineage's connections, the first thing they thought of was revenge—defeating Lin Feng!
Soon, after wandering about for a while, the three directly found a nearby inner sect disciple. This disciple had a thin, gaunt face and was at the fifth stage.
Xu Jun shouted, "Do you know someone named Lin Feng? He just entered the inner sect. Where is he?"
Upon hearing Lin Feng's name, the inner sect disciple's body stiffened.
Lin Feng? How could he forget? He had only been crushed by him a few days ago!
Xu Jun and the other two noticed the expression on the inner sect disciple's face. Xu Jun knew that this man definitely knew Lin Feng, and perhaps even had some connection to him.
