Lin Feng's body trembled violently. The terrifying devouring power of the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul was like a bottomless abyss, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. The spiritual energy within a radius of several hundred meters surged toward him like a tidal wave, forming a visible vortex.
Meng Qing stood not far away, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Feng, a trace of worry flashing in them. She could sense that Lin Feng's aura was rapidly rising, but this kind of rise was too violent, almost uncontrollable.
"Boom!"
A loud noise erupted as Lin Feng's body suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. The Heaven Devouring Martial Soul behind him spun wildly, and the space around him began to distort. The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, spreading outward like a spider web.
"Ah——!"
Lin Feng let out a low roar, his eyes turning bloodshot. The spiritual energy within his body was like a wild horse running loose, rampaging through his meridians. His cultivation level was breaking through at an astonishing speed: Spirit Martial Realm, Fifth Layer, Sixth Layer, Seventh Layer...
"Not good!" Meng Qing's expression changed drastically. She could feel that Lin Feng's breakthrough was too fast, and his foundation was beginning to waver. If this continued, he would likely suffer backlash and injure himself.
"Lin Feng, calm down!" Meng Qing shouted, her figure flickering as she appeared beside Lin Feng, her jade hand pressing on his shoulder, attempting to suppress the rampaging spiritual energy within him.
But the moment her hand touched Lin Feng, a terrifying devouring force surged out, almost pulling her spiritual energy into Lin Feng's body. Meng Qing's expression shifted as she quickly withdrew her hand, taking several steps back.
"Such a terrifying devouring power..." Meng Qing's eyes flickered. She had seen the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul before, but never one so violent and fierce.
At this moment, Lin Feng's consciousness was somewhat blurry. He could only feel an endless hunger, as if he wanted to devour everything. The spiritual energy in the surrounding world crazily poured into his body, but it still couldn't satisfy that hunger.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Explosions sounded one after another as the ground within a hundred meters of Lin Feng collapsed, and the surrounding trees were uprooted by the devouring force, turning into powder in midair. Even the distant mountain walls began to crack, with boulders flying toward Lin Feng.
"Such a powerful devouring force!" In the distance, many cultivators sensed the movement and looked over in shock. They saw a black vortex spinning wildly in the sky, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.
"What is that?!"
"It's the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul! Someone has awakened the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul!"
"Such a terrifying aura, who is it?"
Many cultivators looked at each other in shock, their hearts trembling. The Heaven Devouring Martial Soul was a legendary martial soul, said to be able to devour all things in heaven and earth. They never expected to witness it with their own eyes today.
Inside the vortex, Lin Feng's body was undergoing earth-shaking changes. His meridians were expanding at a visible rate, his bones creaking, and his flesh and blood becoming tougher. His cultivation level was still rising: Spirit Martial Realm, Eighth Layer, Ninth Layer...
"Break!"
Lin Feng suddenly roared, and a powerful aura burst out from his body. His cultivation level finally broke through the bottleneck of the Spirit Martial Realm and stepped into the Mysterious Martial Realm!
But this was not the end. His aura continued to climb: Mysterious Martial Realm, First Layer, Second Layer, Third Layer...
"Impossible!" In the distance, an old man exclaimed in shock, "How can anyone break through so quickly? This is against the heavens!"
"Could it be that the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul is really that terrifying?"
"Not only that, but his foundation is extremely solid, without any sign of instability. This is incredible!"
Many cultivators were stunned. They had never seen such a breakthrough speed. In just a few breaths, Lin Feng had gone from the Spirit Martial Realm, Fifth Layer, to the Mysterious Martial Realm, Third Layer, and was still rising.
"Stop!" Meng Qing shouted anxiously. She could feel that Lin Feng's body was beginning to show signs of overload. If he continued like this, his body might not be able to withstand it.
But Lin Feng seemed unable to hear her. The Heaven Devouring Martial Soul behind him spun even faster, and the devouring power became even more violent. The spiritual energy within a radius of several miles surged toward him, forming a massive energy whirlpool.
"Boom!"
A terrifying pressure descended, and the sky changed color. Dark clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled. It was as if even the heavens were alarmed by this power.
"Such a powerful pressure, it's like a heavenly tribulation!"
"Could it be that he's going to trigger a heavenly tribulation?"
"He's only at the Mysterious Martial Realm, how could he trigger a heavenly tribulation?"
Many cultivators were shocked and uncertain. The scene before them was too terrifying, completely beyond their understanding.
Inside the whirlpool, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly snapped open, shooting out two beams of divine light. His aura reached its peak, finally stopping at the Mysterious Martial Realm, Sixth Layer!
"Sixth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm!" Someone exclaimed, "He actually broke through from the Spirit Martial Realm, Fifth Layer, to the Mysterious Martial Realm, Sixth Layer, in one go! This is a full eleven minor realms!"
"Monster! He's simply a monster!"
Many cultivators gasped in shock, looking at Lin Feng as if they were looking at a demon.
Lin Feng slowly retracted his aura, the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul behind him gradually fading away. He took a deep breath, feeling the surging power within his body, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
"Sixth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm..." Lin Feng murmured softly, clenching his fist, feeling the power that was several times stronger than before. He knew that this breakthrough was entirely due to the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul.
"Are you alright?" Meng Qing walked over, her beautiful eyes filled with concern.
"I'm fine." Lin Feng shook his head, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Not only am I fine, but I feel unprecedented strength."
"That's good." Meng Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then said seriously, "But you have to be careful. The Heaven Devouring Martial Soul is too overbearing. If you're not careful, it will backfire."
"I understand." Lin Feng nodded. He naturally knew the dangers of the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul, but at this moment, he was more concerned about another matter.
"Meng Qing, I feel like the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul has changed." Lin Feng frowned, "It seems to have become even more... greedy."
"Greedy?" Meng Qing was startled, then her expression turned grave. "You mean, the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul is beginning to affect your mind?"
"Not exactly." Lin Feng shook his head, "It's more like... it's awakening. It seems to have its own consciousness, wanting to devour everything."
Meng Qing's expression changed slightly. She had heard of the legend of the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul. It was said that when the Heaven Devouring Martial Soul reached a certain level, it would awaken its own consciousness and even try to control its master.
"Lin Feng, you must remember, no matter how strong the martial soul is, it is ultimately just a tool. The real master is yourself." Meng Qing said seriously.
"I understand." Lin Feng took a deep breath, his gaze firm. He would never allow himself to be controlled by a martial soul.
At this moment, several figures flew over from afar. They were cultivators who had sensed the commotion and came to investigate.
"Who was it that caused such a big commotion?" A middle-aged man in a golden robe asked coldly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Feng and Meng Qing.
"It was me." Lin Feng said calmly.
The golden-robed middle-aged man looked Lin Feng up and down, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Sixth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm? No, your aura is very strange, it seems even stronger than the Sixth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm."
"None of your business." Lin Feng said indifferently.
"Hmph, arrogant!" The golden-robed middle-aged man snorted coldly, "I am a disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. You caused such a big commotion here, disturbing my cultivation. You should at least apologize, right?"
"Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress?" Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, a hint of a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "So what?"
"You!" The golden-robed middle-aged man's expression changed, and he was about to flare up, but was stopped by the person beside him.
"Brother, don't be impulsive. This person's strength is unfathomable. It's better not to provoke him easily." The person beside him whispered.
The golden-robed middle-aged man gritted his teeth, glared at Lin Feng, and finally turned and left.
Lin Feng watched them leave, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes. Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress... it seemed that this place was not simple.
"Let's go." Lin Feng said to Meng Qing, then turned and walked away.
Meng Qing nodded and followed.
After they left, in a distant void, a figure slowly emerged. It was an old man in a black robe, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Heaven Devouring Martial Soul... interesting." The old man murmured, a strange smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "It seems that this generation's Heaven Devouring Martial Soul has finally awakened."
After saying this, his figure flickered and disappeared into the void, as if he had never appeared.
