Chapter 1047: Great Derivation Staff Technique
"Such a powerful sword aura." Lin Feng's gaze fell upon the newcomer. This man bore three ancient swords on his back, and even without releasing any aura, the crowd could clearly sense the sword intent radiating from him, as if this person was born for the sword.
"Lin Feng, this guy is Sword Wubei, a descendant of Skyless Sword Emperor. He's far more formidable than that Xuanyuan fellow. He's the one I was telling you about," Yuan Fei said. His booming voice immediately startled everyone. Some who already knew the young man was a descendant of Skyless Sword Emperor were unsurprised, but those who didn't know revealed expressions of shock.
Skyless Sword Emperor, the Emperor of Swords. This name had shaken the Eight Wastelands a thousand years ago. Later, Skyless Sword Emperor vanished from the Eight Wastelands Realm. Some said he had passed away, but most believed he had gone elsewhere to pursue higher realms. A thousand years was perhaps no different from a few decades to a Sword Emperor.
"Skyless Sword Emperor!" Lin Feng's expression stiffened slightly. In the Jade Emperor Palace, there were four statues of people the Jade Emperor greatly admired. Among them was one statue belonging to Skyless Sword Emperor. So this man was a descendant of Skyless Sword Emperor. No wonder he was like a sword even without moving—he existed because of the sword.
Qiu Yuexin's beautiful eyes flickered. She was clearly very surprised as well. It was Sword Wubei. He was also in this Trial Ground.
Moreover, the burly man beside Lin Feng had spoken Sword Wubei's name loudly without any restraint, clearly an extraordinary person. In this land of slaughter, how had Lin Feng come to know such a powerful expert at the Seventh Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm?
Sword Wubei stepped forward, arriving directly beneath the Desolate Cave. With a flash of light, one of the three swords behind him unsheathed, seeming to tear through the void. The crowd saw a terrifying sword light streak across the sky above, cutting a deep, dark rift in the heavens and splitting the Desolate Cave open. Instantly, the desolate aura spread even more fiercely and intensely. Some people even began to retreat, unable to withstand it.
"Boom, rumble!" Desolate soil fell more and more violently. Sword Wubei released a terrifying sword intent from his body, and the hard desolate soil was instantly sliced apart, turning into powder. Sword Wubei was checking if there was anything good hidden within the desolate soil.
"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out. A piece of desolate soil shattered, and a dark brown solid object fell out, surprisingly intact.
The crowd's eyes immediately focused. There really was something good. The corrosive power of the Wasteland Sea was terrifying. Any ordinary object that entered it would, over time, be corroded until nothing remained. So when Sword Wubei broke open the desolate soil, anything that appeared meant it was a good item—even the desolate soil couldn't corrode it.
"Whoosh!" Sword Wubei's figure flickered as he reached for the dark brown object. But at that moment, a terrifying staff descended from the sky, its power shaking heaven and earth. The ground crazily cracked apart, showing just how terrifying its might was.
"Does your ape grandfather's stuff dare you to take?"
This desolate cave was something he and Lin Feng had discovered. These people had been attracted here later and wanted to fish in troubled waters. Yuan Fei had let them be, but since a treasure had appeared, he naturally wouldn't be polite. Even against Sword Wubei, he still swung his staff over.
The dark brown object was sent flying by the terrifying force. Yuan Fei took a step and charged straight toward the dark brown solid, his movements extremely swift.
"Hmph!" Sword Wubei snorted coldly. A dazzling sword light seemed to tear through the Nine Heavens, clashing with the staff shadows. The space seemed about to be shredded. Some people nearby were even blasted until they coughed up blood from the terrifying shockwaves.
"Kill!" With a furious shout, Sword Wubei slashed out another sword, blocking the void and sealing off Yuan Fei's path.
Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd's bodies flickered as they all pounced toward the dark brown object, hoping to reap the benefits while Yuan Fei and Sword Wubei were locked in battle.
"Who dares!" Yuan Fei roared. The terrifying force of his shout caused space to explode. An unparalleled might was released. The few people closest to him were struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Their hearts trembled—this strength was far too terrifying.
Even those who weren't injured were shaken by the rolling force of his roar, their blood and qi churning. They halted in midair, not daring to advance.
"All of you, get the hell out!"
Yuan Fei roared again, striking out with his staff from above. In an instant, terrifying mountain peaks appeared across the entire void, pressing down from the sky and smashing toward the crowd.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Many were directly crushed and killed by the mountain peaks. Those who survived were horrified—this strength was simply too terrifying.
"Great Derivation Staff Technique! He's Yuan Fei!" Qiu Yuexin's expression stiffened. In the Eight Wastelands, using an ordinary black wooden staff to such terrifying effect—there was only one person who could do this. The Great Derivation Staff Technique.
This Great Derivation Staff Technique could derive countless types of divine abilities, such as mountain peaks crashing down, waves surging, or heaven and earth pressing down. Great Derivation, Great Derivation—it could derive anything. It was a great life-and-death offensive technique with boundless power.
Lin Feng was quite surprised. It seemed Yuan Fei was very famous. Qiu Yuexin had recognized him at a glance from his staff technique. And this technique was indeed terrifying. At this moment, Yuan Fei was locked in battle with Sword Wubei. The Great Derivation Staff Technique derived infinite wondrous uses, no longer a pure staff technique but possessing marvelous power, deriving all kinds of divine abilities. No matter how heaven-defying Sword Wubei's sword dao was, he was still tightly sealed off by Yuan Fei's staff technique, impenetrable.
The others no longer dared to covet the dark brown object. They feared that if they stepped forward, Yuan Fei would smash them to death with one staff strike.
"Lin Feng, take the thing!" Yuan Fei's voice rolled out, making Lin Feng's body stiffen. He then nodded, suddenly stepping forward and rushing toward the dark brown solid.
"You dare!" Sword intent howled with murderous intent, but it was blocked by Yuan Fei. The sword qi spreading toward Lin Feng was extinguished by a flick of his finger. With no one else contending with him, Lin Feng easily seized the dark brown solid. The moment he grabbed it, he felt it was extremely heavy. This small piece of ancient bronze-like object seemed to weigh millions of jin, incredibly massive.
With a flash of light, Lin Feng stored it away.
"That's dark brown meteorite, extremely hard. It can be forged into an incomparably tough Sacred Artifact. This kind of dark brown meteorite belongs only to the strong. It might even contain a great offensive life-and-death divine ability sealed within," Sword Wubei said coldly as he saw Lin Feng take the dark brown meteorite. "I'll hold off Yuan Fei. You kill him and take the dark brown meteorite."
With that, Sword Wubei released a sky-piercing sword dance from his body. All three swords unsheathed at once, and in an instant, the entire space was filled with sword shadows, sealing off this area.
"Sword Roar Wubei!"
The crowd's eyes focused. Sword Wubei was enraged. He had unleashed a powerful attack technique, sealing Yuan Fei within endless sword intent. The two were wrapped in swords, unable to attend to anything outside.
Lin Feng's expression stiffened. He saw icy gazes shooting toward him, making him feel a bone-chilling coldness throughout his body.
"Chi, chi!" A sharp sound rang out. Lin Feng then felt a piercing cold descend. A light flashed, closing in instantly.
"Whoosh!" Lin Feng took out the talisman seal, grabbed Qiu Yuexin's body, and shot into the sky. The moment he left, a sword light bloomed, and a black shadow appeared where he had just stood.
Lin Feng cast a cold glance at the black shadow. Another Shadow Hunter. These bastards were relentless, launching a killing blow at him just now.
"Let's go!" Lin Feng pulled Qiu Yuexin and fled. The crowd immediately gave chase, but how could they catch up? Lin Feng shook them off in an instant.
Lin Feng wasn't worried about Yuan Fei at all. The grandson of an emperor, coupled with his terrifying strength—who would dare touch him?
"Lin Feng, you've only been in the Trial Ground for a short time, yet you've already befriended Yuan Fei!" Qiu Yuexin's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Lin Feng with a hint of surprise.
"That guy has a straightforward personality and is easy to get along with. We exchanged two punches and that was it," Lin Feng replied with a smile. "By the way, Yuexin, he said he's the grandson of a Martial Emperor. Which Martial Emperor?"
"Not a Martial Emperor!" Qiu Yuexin's beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Feng as she shook her head, making Lin Feng pause. He murmured, "Did Yuan Fei lie to me?"
"He didn't lie to you either. His grandfather is the Great Ape Emperor!"
"Great Ape Emperor?" Lin Feng's expression trembled as he looked at Qiu Yuexin. "Demon Emperor?"
Qiu Yuexin nodded slightly, making Lin Feng inhale sharply. So it was the Demon Emperor, the Great Ape Emperor's grandson!
