# Chapter 1046: Breaking the Desolate Cave
"My old man is an emperor, so why should I care about his so-called Martial Emperor descendant!"
Yuan Fei's words left Lin Feng's gaze frozen there, stunned into silence. No wonder Yuan Fei was so monstrous, and his strength seemed to be innate brute force, overwhelmingly powerful. Even without unleashing his bloodline power, he still made people feel terrified, absolutely dreadful.
Moreover, that single staff strike was enough to shatter everything. Xuanyuan Potian had to continuously use powerful divine abilities to finally block that strike, showing just how terrifying that staff strike was.
Lin Feng had personally experienced Xuanyuan Potian's strength. At the same cultivation level, although he could suppress Xuanyuan Potian, it still required considerable effort. How could he be as arrogantly unrestrained as Yuan Fei, who simply didn't care about Xuanyuan Potian at all.
"Your old man... do you mean your father?" Lin Feng asked weakly.
"I'm my old man's grandson." Yuan Fei grinned. Lin Feng finally understood — this was actually the grandson of an emperor, a true descendant of an emperor. Yuan Fei's grandfather was an emperor.
No wonder Yuan Fei spoke so boldly, daring to curse the Emperor of Assassins, daring to try to smash Xuanyuan Potian to death with one staff strike. He was the grandson of an emperor; who wouldn't be wary of him? Moreover, someone who dared to curse the Emperor of Assassins must have a grandfather who was no ordinary emperor, but one capable of contending with the Emperor of Assassins!
"It's all empty. My old man gave me a good body and various divine abilities, but we still have to walk the path of the Dao ourselves. Don't think I don't know, old man Yuan — if my grandfather were gone one day, who knows how many people would come to kill me." Yuan Fei muttered, not acting extraordinary or looking down on others because of his formidable background. Instead, he seemed very calm and easygoing, speaking crudely but always with straightforwardness. Lin Feng liked this kind of person, far better than someone like Xuanyuan Potian.
"On the path of the Dao, we ultimately have to rely on ourselves. Only by being strong ourselves can we have the qualification to look down on heaven and earth." Lin Feng murmured to himself, his gaze sharp. Xuanyuan Potian had looked down on him from above, as if holding the power of life and death over him, wanting to kill or torture him as he pleased. But upon hearing Yuan Fei's name, he fled as if avoiding a plague, disappearing instantly. This was the gap created by different levels of strength.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to understand so thoroughly. Lin Feng, you don't need to be modest. With your terrifying strength, if you were to use your bloodline power, you'd be even stronger. Very few people at the same cultivation level can defeat you." Yuan Fei said with a simple smile. Lin Feng's expression tightened as he stared at Yuan Fei. Yuan Fei actually knew he possessed extraordinary bloodline power? Otherwise, why would he say that using bloodline power would make him even stronger?
"No need to be surprised. I can sense that you possess dragon bloodline power, though I don't know how you came to have it." Yuan Fei continued, making Lin Feng even more astonished. Yuan Fei could actually sense that he had dragon bloodline power — what kind of divine ability was this?
"Come on, let's find some desolate caves and see if we can find anything!" Yuan Fei didn't mention the bloodline anymore. He said to Lin Feng, and then the two stepped forward together, leaving this place.
Following Yuan Fei, Lin Feng came to understand that Yuan Fei hadn't come to this Trial Ground to temper himself at all. He had clearly come to find desolate caves. He had no scruples in this Trial Ground either, walking openly and continuously searching the area.
"The desolate aura here is a bit stronger. There might be a desolate cave." Yuan Fei suddenly stopped, then looked up, constantly searching above his head.
Lin Feng slowly stepped forward. After a moment, he reached a spot a few miles from Yuan Fei and called out, "Come over here and take a look!"
Yuan Fei took a few steps and instantly arrived beside Lin Feng. The moment he reached this spot, his expression stiffened. He looked up at the sky above, where a powerful desolate force was seeping out, seemingly very dense.
Yuan Fei looked at Lin Feng and grinned, "So you're this good at finding desolate caves. It seems our meeting was fated."
With that, Yuan Fei raised his hand and punched toward the sky above. Instantly, a terrifying explosive sound rang out, and a rolling wave of desolate force surged forth, extremely intense.
"Not strong enough. It's a small desolate cave. Nothing's coming out." Yuan Fei said with some disappointment, but he wasn't upset. This Trial Ground had countless desolate caves, and they changed once broken open. Every so often, the desolate caves would shift with the changes in the seabed crust of the Wasteland Sea.
The desolate force invaded Yuan Fei and Lin Feng's bodies, but neither reacted at all. Lin Feng could devour and use desolate force, even daring to enter the Wasteland Sea itself, so he naturally wasn't afraid. But Yuan Fei didn't care at all either. While others avoided it like a plague, he completely ignored it — that was the difference.
For many people, desolate caves were like a plague; once encountered, they would frantically flee. But for Yuan Fei, they became places to seek treasure. He would deliberately break open desolate caves, letting the desolate force spread out.
"Lin Feng, let's look elsewhere." Seeing no hope here, Yuan Fei and Lin Feng flickered away together. As the desolate force spread here, the surrounding crowd all fled far away. No one dared to come near for a short time.
Because Lin Feng had devoured desolate force, he was especially sensitive to the desolate aura. Coupled with his keen senses, he and Yuan Fei quickly found several desolate caves. Each time, Yuan Fei would say nothing and just punch the cave open, letting the desolate force spread out. But they still found nothing.
"The desolate force here seems weak. It should be another small desolate cave. Probably another empty find." At this moment, Yuan Fei looked up at the sky and casually punched out. A booming explosive sound rang out, but no desolate force spread forth.
"Hmm?" Yuan Fei was stunned. He looked up and carefully examined the high point in the void. Something seemed different up there.
"Break for me!" Yuan Fei punched out again with rolling force. A booming sound echoed, and then a faint desolate force spread out, still not too intense.
"Break, break..." Yuan Fei roared angrily. Rolling fist power erupted, and a booming explosive sound rang out. An incredibly terrifying desolate force surged forth, extremely dreadful.
Black earth continuously fell downward. The space above kept shaking violently. This scene made Lin Feng's expression freeze. It seemed he had broken open a very powerful area.
"Desolate earth!" Yuan Fei's expression tightened, and then he grinned, "Lin Feng, it seems the desolate force here isn't weak — it's just deeply hidden. Even desolate earth keeps falling. We've found a big desolate cave. Let's see if anything good comes out."
Lin Feng's expression froze. The desolate force was growing stronger and stronger, and black earth kept falling from above, even large piles falling simultaneously. The treasures at the bottom of the Wasteland Sea were sometimes buried within the hardened desolate earth that had solidified over time.
Seeming to sense this terrifying desolate aura, many people broke through the air to leave this area.
However, some people actually came toward this place. Among them, Xuanyuan Potian was present.
When Xuanyuan Potian saw Yuan Fei among the crowd, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He quietly concealed himself, as if he had never come at all.
But some still arrived at this place, staring at the continuously falling desolate earth, seemingly expecting something. Without exception, these people were all very strong, which was why they could withstand the powerful desolate force.
"Lin Feng!" A crisp voice rang out. Qiu Yuexin appeared among the crowd and flickered toward Lin Feng.
"You're here. Come quickly." Lin Feng pulled Qiu Yuexin to his side.
In the distance, a terrifying sword light tore through the sky, illuminating space. Someone came flying through the air. This person was a sharp-edged youth, carrying three ancient swords on his back. His entire body exuded powerful aura. The moment he appeared, he seemed to draw many people's gazes.
"This guy's here too!" Yuan Fei muttered. He hadn't expected even him to be attracted here!
PS: So sleepy. Three chapters today, still owe one. Will definitely make it up tomorrow. I knew National Day would be busy, and sure enough it was. I'm writing in whatever free time I can find!
