Between the First Layer of the Profound Martial Realm and the Third Layer of the Profound Martial Realm, there is a gap of two entire realms. The difference in the sheer magnitude of true essence power is enormous. Without any unexpected factors, the latter could easily kill the former in an instant.
Yet Lin Feng, relying on the strength of the First Layer of the Profound Martial Realm, could use his sword to wound One-Eye, who was at the Third Layer of the Profound Martial Realm. This could no longer be explained solely by Lin Feng's exquisite swordsmanship. One force can overcome ten techniques; in the face of an absolute gap, even the most exquisite swordsmanship is useless. Lin Feng's ability to achieve this was also related to his realm in the Sword Dao. He had likely stepped into the realm of Man and Sword as One, enabling him to unleash a sword with such power.
At eighteen years old, stepping into Man and Sword as One—such comprehension was unprecedented in the Snow Moon Kingdom. Even the Heartless Sword Immortal had only comprehended the Subtle Realm at eighteen and only stepped into Man and Sword as One at the age of twenty-one.
Lin Feng's talent and attainment in the Sword Dao surpassed the Heartless Sword Immortal. If Lin Feng had been born eighteen years ago, he could have roamed the Snow Moon Kingdom just like his father.
Of course, only a few people like Yue Qingshan could see Lin Feng's attainment in the Sword Dao. Many others only knew that Lin Feng was very powerful and extremely talented, capable of even fighting against a strong warrior at the Third Layer of the Profound Martial Realm.
One-Eye looked at the wound on his palm, his face twisted in fury. When he raised his head again, the gaze he directed at Lin Feng was filled with endless killing intent.
"Roar... roar..."
A surging, explosive roar rolled out. One-Eye tilted his head back and bellowed. Behind him, the phantom of his Martial Soul grew increasingly vast and majestic, gradually enveloping even his own body. One-Eye's entire physique expanded again—four meters, five meters... His pupils became eerie. Both of his original eyes closed, but a third eye opened on his forehead—an eerie, demonic eye.
What was even more shocking was that One-Eye's hands and legs all became demonized—pitch black, thick and sturdy. This was no longer the illusory transformation from before; it was a true demonic transformation.
Soon, One-Eye seemed to completely merge with his Martial Soul, the One-Eyed Demon Rhinoceros, becoming a thoroughly bizarre demonic beast.
"Beast Transformation!"
The pupils of the onlookers continuously contracted. Rumor had it that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect possessed a unique technique that allowed martial artists with beast-type Martial Souls to undergo a complete beast transformation, incarnating into their Martial Soul beast. This granted them the combined abilities of both humans and beasts. It seemed the rumors were true. At this moment, One-Eye had transformed into a demon rhinoceros.
Lin Feng's gaze also fixed on One-Eye. He saw the other party half-crouching on the ground, looking up at him. His entire head was half-human, half-beast, hideous and terrifying. That bloodthirsty eye seemed to want to devour him whole.
"Beast Transformation, huh!"
Lin Feng murmured softly. His heart stirred, and in an instant, the Purple Serpent Martial Soul also roared wildly, like a surging ocean. In front of Lin Feng, endless purple light converged, all fusing together.
"Roar..."
Another beast's roar echoed from the void, shaking people's hearts. The crowd was horrified to discover that at this moment, in front of Lin Feng, the endless purple light had also transformed into a beast—an incomparably massive purple demon serpent, a tangible beast.
"Am I seeing things? Is it a beast-type Martial Soul?" Yue Qingshan frowned slightly. This purple aura was both illusory and real, elusive and hard to pin down. It looked like a beast-type Martial Soul, yet it didn't.
"If this Martial Soul really is a beast-type Martial Soul, then he has inherited the Heaven Devour from the Yue Clan." Yue Qingshan's eyes flickered with a hint of sharp light as he murmured to himself. However, this possibility was not very likely. If Lin Feng had truly inherited the Heaven Devour, why would he care about these beast-men? The Heaven Devour Martial Soul could completely suppress the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, which was one of the reasons why the people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were so wary of his Yue Clan.
Of course, there was also the possibility that Lin Feng simply didn't know how powerful the Heaven Devour Martial Soul was.
The One-Eyed Demon Rhinoceros and the Purple Demon Serpent stared at each other, both of their bodies enormous. In the eyes of the One-Eyed Demon Rhinoceros, there was bloodthirst and madness, while in the giant eyes of the Purple Serpent, there was arrogance and dominance.
Perhaps the current Purple Serpent was not as powerful as the Demon Rhinoceros, but one must not forget that this Purple Serpent Martial Soul was formed by Lin Feng devouring the blood of a Demon Venerable. A Demon Venerable, a venerable among demons—what a mighty being that was.
"Die!"
A human voice spat out from the Demon Rhinoceros's mouth. Then, its legs stomped the ground. Cracking sounds rang out continuously. The ground collapsed, and countless fissures appeared. At the same time, the Demon Rhinoceros's body shot into the sky, carrying an incomparably vast momentum.
"Roar..." The Purple Serpent roared, its massive body swooping down, its huge mouth spewing purple demonic aura.
"Boom!"
The world shook violently. The Purple Serpent and the Demon Rhinoceros collided. The surrounding space seemed to tremble incessantly.
"Purple Martial Soul, so powerful."
The crowd silently praised in their hearts. One-Eye had transformed into a beast, his strength capable of reaching the heavens. How formidable he was! Yet this skyward strike could not disperse the Purple Serpent. The two beasts were actually locked in a stalemate in the air.
The Demon Rhinoceros roared angrily again, its body retreating to the ground before charging skyward once more.
"Rumble!"
The world shook again. The Purple Serpent writhed its massive body wildly, while Lin Feng, hovering above it, had a slightly pale face.
"You want to die? I'll grant your wish."
An icy cold voice spat out from Lin Feng's mouth. The Yang Fire True Essence roared once more. A layer of illusory flame light enveloped his body, resplendent and dazzling.
The Demon Rhinoceros's body tried to retreat again, but Lin Feng let out a low shout: "Disperse!"
As his voice fell, the incomparably massive body of the Purple Demon Serpent completely disintegrated, transforming into endless purple light and a roaring purple ocean. In an instant, it completely enveloped the Demon Rhinoceros's body.
"Oh?"
The crowd's gaze froze. What did Lin Feng mean by this? Could this ocean trap the Demon Rhinoceros?
But in the next moment, they only saw Lin Feng take a step forward, carrying endless Yang Fire True Essence, and directly plunge into the purple ocean, disappearing from their sight.
The aura vanished. This purple ocean seemed capable of concealing aura. They could no longer sense what was happening inside.
Silence. The turbulent space suddenly became quiet, with only the churning purple ocean in turmoil. Lin Feng had actually charged into the purple ocean to confront the Demon Rhinoceros?
"Courting death!"
Teng Wuya sneered coldly. Lin Feng said he would grant the Demon Rhinoceros's wish? With the current strength of One-Eye's transformed Demon Rhinoceros, even if Lin Feng were allowed to kill it, he couldn't. Lin Feng stepping into the ocean to engage in close combat with the Demon Rhinoceros was suicide.
The people of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were not worried at all. Smiles of contempt appeared on their faces, as if they had already seen Lin Feng die before them.
"Roar..."
An extremely furious roar rang out. The purple ocean churned violently. This roar seemed to carry a hint of unease.
"Oh?"
Hearing this uneasy roar, the expressions of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect members were no longer so confident.
Suddenly, a desolate and annihilating aura faintly emanated from within the purple ocean. This aura of annihilation was both scorching hot and icy cold, making it impossible to discern exactly what kind of power was emitting such a feeling.
"Roar..."
Another roar shook the space, this time carrying a hint of pain and a touch of desolation.
"What's happening?" The hearts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect members trembled. At this moment, their confidence had completely vanished from their faces, replaced by unease.
The roars gradually died down. The churning purple ocean also calmed, silent and still. The crowd stared at the ocean, falling into an eerie silence.
What had just happened inside the ocean?
Finally, the purple ocean began to slowly dissipate and vanish.
The crowd's eyes were all fixed on that ocean. The purple light grew less and less. Soon, they saw a figure appear—the young, handsome figure of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stood within the ocean, his calm gaze tinged with a hint of coldness. The purple light continuously streamed into his body until it completely disappeared.
Looking at Lin Feng, the crowd's gazes all froze, staring fixedly at Lin Feng's surroundings.
Where was the Demon Rhinoceros after its beast transformation?
Gone. After the purple light disappeared, the massive figure of the Demon Rhinoceros had vanished without a trace.
What had happened? What had just occurred?
Everyone stared at Lin Feng, their eyes filled with an expression of utter disbelief. Dead. The Demon Rhinoceros was certainly dead, not even leaving a trace behind.
"So terrifying!"
Looking at the handsome young man, many people's eyes revealed a deep sense of fear. Lin Feng had made the Demon Rhinoceros's massive body completely disappear from the world.
At this moment, the eyes of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect members still held an expression of disbelief.
How... how was this possible?
But the fact was right before them. In the brief time that the purple ocean had shrouded Lin Feng and the Demon Rhinoceros, Lin Feng had annihilated One-Eye, who had transformed into the Demon Rhinoceros. He used this shocking fact to tell everyone: trying to kill him would come at a terrible price—the price of one's life.
