Zhao Xu had never imagined it.
That one day, he would stumble at the hands of a mere Registered Disciple!
He had originally been a prodigy of the Ten Extremes Demon Sect. In order to infiltrate the Limitless Sacred Land, he had crippled his own cultivation, falling from the Peak Sea of Reincarnation Realm to the peak of Blood Tempering.
Though his realm was no longer what it had been, with his Heavenborn Sword Heart and a layer of sword intent—
Even an ordinary peak Blood Tempering cultivator would not have been his match!
Yet the man before him had comprehended two layers of sword intent.
His blood qi was even more torrential, so vigorous that it nearly rivaled Blood Tempering itself.
He had also cultivated numerous martial arts to perfection. After exchanging only a few moves, he had severed Zhao Xu's arm!
Such a person was actually only a Registered Disciple?
Ignoring Zhao Xu's pleas for mercy, Lin Feng approached with an indifferent expression. With a hiss, his sword continued forward and severed Zhao Xu's other arm.
"What right do you have now to bargain with me?"
Lin Feng had no interest in wasting words on Zhao Xu. His sword pierced Zhao Xu's body, and ignoring the other man's miserable screams, he gave it a light shake.
A spirit herb, entirely silver in color as though moonlight had been scattered over it, fell to the ground.
Lin Feng's gaze shifted!
The heaven-and-earth essence contained within this spirit herb was so dense...
And exceedingly pure!
If swallowed directly, it would certainly greatly benefit the growth of one's realm.
In an instant, Lin Feng took the Silver Spirit Grass into his hand.
Across from him, Zhao Xu gnashed his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. Both his arms had been severed, the Silver Spirit Grass he had painstakingly acquired had changed hands, and Lin Feng was clearly no softhearted man. He would not spare him.
Zhao Xu's voice was filled with venom. "You... you will not meet a good end... My father..."
Hiss!
A bloody arrow shot from Zhao Xu's neck. His head dropped to the ground with a swish, like a hollow stone.
Lin Feng's expression remained calm. He did not allow Zhao Xu to say another word.
The man possessed a Heavenborn Sword Heart and was also a disciple of the Ten Extremes Demon Sect, so it was only natural that he had some background.
But what did that have to do with him?
Did Zhao Xu think a few words like that could frighten him?
This was the Limitless Sacred Land! If any great figure of the demonic path dared infiltrate this place, would that not be seeking death?
Looking at the spirit herb in his hand, Lin Feng knew that this was the five-hundred-year spirit herb Zhao Xu had mentioned. Entirely silver, he had heard of it before. It was the Silver Spirit Grass. The longer it grew, the more pure essence it contained. It could be used for alchemy or swallowed directly!
This was an extremely valuable spirit herb. Even in the outer sect, it would be enough to make countless people covet it madly and fight over it.
And now, it had fallen into his hands.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng swallowed the Silver Spirit Grass.
Although it would have been better used for alchemy—
What Lin Feng wanted most right now was to raise his realm! To increase his strength!
Essence spread through his limbs and bones, and a fierce wind surged around Lin Feng!
His realm began to loosen.
Over the past few days, he had continuously fought in the Soul Mountain Range, and his realm had reached the sixth layer of Blood Tempering.
Now that he had swallowed the Silver Spirit Grass, his cultivation advanced considerably further.
In the end, Lin Feng's realm naturally broke through to the Seventh Layer of the Blood-Quenching Realm!
Seventh Layer of the Blood-Quenching Realm! Combined with Lin Feng's two layers of sword intent...
It could be said that within the Blood Tempering Realm, any ordinary martial artist who came before him would die. Unless they possessed Martial Dao True Intent, Weapon True Intent, or similar enhancements, Lin Feng could fight a hundred alone!
Even among the million Registered Disciples... he stood at the absolute summit!
Rustle.
Footsteps sounded behind him. Turning around, he saw the girl in green, whose face was still filled with shock.
No one knew better than her how strong Zhao Xu was! She herself was already half a step into the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, possessed several third-tier martial arts at greater mastery, and had attained no small accomplishment in her cultivation art.
Yet in Zhao Xu's hands, she had been toyed with like a doll.
Even after exhausting every means at her disposal, she could not escape. Zhao Xu had caught up to her.
She had nearly lost her life outright!
In the end, Lin Feng had acted and slain Zhao Xu with overwhelming force. Only supreme geniuses possessed such an ability to kill across realms!
But why was this man merely a Registered Disciple?
Putting those thoughts aside, the girl in green solemnly thanked him and bowed deeply. Lin Feng merely shook his head. He had not intended to play the hero and save a beauty; he had simply wanted to plunder attributes.
Just as Lin Feng was about to leave, the girl in green called out from behind him. "No matter what, you are my lifesaving benefactor. Please accept this small token of my sincerity!"
With that, the girl in green handed over a tree root glowing with azure-green light. Lin Feng's expression shifted slightly when he saw it.
Azure Spirit Tree Root.
It too was a heavenly treasure containing pure essence.
In terms of value, it was no worse than the Silver Spirit Grass he had swallowed earlier.
At that moment, Lin Feng found the girl in green far more pleasing to the eye.
Getting showered with loot was always a good thing.
Lin Feng gave the girl in green a slight nod, then drifted away, leaving her no chance even to offer another greeting!
Watching Lin Feng's retreating figure, the girl in green pouted. Though she was not a peerless beauty, she was still delicate and pretty, yet he had not even spared her a glance. Was he even a man?
But then again.
This person was actually only a Registered Disciple...
With such strength, even in the outer sect, he would rank above average!
Because he had comprehended two layers of sword intent!
"But what a pity. If it were before, he would surely take first place in the disciple examination. Yet this time is different..."
"There are many unusual figures among this batch of Registered Disciples. The descendants of many elders and the heirs of the surrounding great dynasties have all been sent here. The competition is unimaginably fierce..."
The girl in green muttered a few words, then her figure vanished at once.
After returning to the Limitless Sacred Land.
Lin Feng's entire bearing, appearance, and aura had changed greatly.
Possessing two layers of sword intent, his gaze was like an incomparably sharp divine sword, capable of piercing through all things.
Many Registered Disciples who walked past could not help retreating to either side. They all gave Lin Feng a few extra looks.
Lin Feng arrived at the Cultivation Arts Pavilion once again.
Now that he possessed two layers of sword intent, would it not be a waste if he did not practice some sword techniques?
At the entrance to the Cultivation Arts Pavilion, the elder guarding the gate appeared to be seated in meditation, asleep. Yet when Lin Feng arrived, he slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing who it was, the gatekeeping elder was startled. "You're back?"
The gatekeeping elder still had some impression of this Registered Disciple with decent talent in martial arts.
Lin Feng nodded. "I have more or less finished cultivating the Blood-Baleful Spirit Art. I have returned now to practice some sword-type martial arts."
"Mm, not bad, not bad... Wait, what did you say?"
The gatekeeping elder nodded slightly, then his pupils contracted.
"Your Blood-Baleful Spirit Art is more or less complete? What do you mean? Let me see!" the gatekeeping elder said.
Lin Feng smiled and activated the Blood-Baleful Spirit Art.
Boom!
A terrifyingly bloody killing aura erupted from every cell in Lin Feng's body.
Over these past days, he had killed more than two hundred ferocious beasts!
The blood qi accumulated upon him was simply towering to the heavens!
The aura of the Blood-Baleful Spirit Art at great perfection pulsed within a small area.
All the disciples entering and leaving the Cultivation Arts Pavilion changed expression. They looked at Lin Feng as though he were a star of slaughter, then kept their distance in awe!
