Chapter 796: The Overbearing Great Pest
Sure enough, this devastating sword strike bloomed, instantly killing one person, sobering the greed and fervor in the crowd's eyes by a few degrees. Their gazes turned somewhat stiff. What a terrifying sword strike. They wondered, if they had been in that person's position just now, could they have blocked Lin Feng's sword?
The vast majority realized they could not dodge it. That sword possessed the power of a Sixth Layer Sword Dao Will, swift as lightning. For someone at the Ninth Layer of the Mysterious Martial Realm, if the Will power they controlled was below the Fourth or Fifth Layer, or if they lacked a powerful divine ability, it was a guaranteed one-hit kill. And although they were geniuses from various major powers, controlling a Fourth or Fifth Layer Will was no easy feat.
One could only say that Lin Feng had already far surpassed the geniuses of their major powers. His strength was too terrifying.
Although they were shocked by Lin Feng's power, they could not completely give up on the precious treasure. The human heart is always so complicated.
Deep beneath the desert, the terrifying blood pool seemed to be boiling now, rolling waves of blood energy madly surging into the sky. Lin Feng and the others released their powerful auras, guarding the four directions, and no one dared to act rashly.
Thus, half a day passed in the blink of an eye. The crowd grew larger and larger. During this time, some could no longer hold back and made a move, and it was a group of people acting together. However, the outcome was shocking. The powerful formation of dozens of people struck simultaneously, yet they only lasted for three breaths of time before all died, completely annihilated.
Lin Feng's blood sword drank blood, killing several people with each strike, even devouring their blood, causing a crimson light to shoot into the sky.
Jun Moxi's golden long robe swept through, blood splattering everywhere, with no one able to contend with him.
Yun Feiyang's ancient bell soared, suppressing the four directions, shaking people to death with a single strike.
And Yu Tianji, holding the light of the Seven Luminaries Stars, crushed everything with his indestructible star power, incredibly formidable and terrifying.
Even the woman with slightly weaker strength had exquisite footwork. The gloves on her hands emitted a golden light, indestructible, and her terrifying palm strikes were lawless, taking lives with each blow.
The five of them were all extremely powerful. Those three breaths of time truly shook everyone's bodies, and no one dared to move anymore. Some even noticed that three of these people were using artifacts that were themselves powerful treasures.
"This bloodline power is really enough for him to absorb," Yun Feiyang said with a smile, glancing at the blood pool below. The longer the absorption, the greater the benefit Huangfu Long was undoubtedly receiving.
In the blink of an eye, several more hours passed. The stalemate in the void continued. At this moment, the blood pool churned more and more violently, as if boiling. The blood pool emitted a tsunami-like sound, crashing against its shores.
"Roar!"
A powerful roar shot into the sky. With a loud bang, everyone's gaze turned to the blood pool, and they saw a figure soaring into the air.
This figure radiated a golden light, as if filled with endless power. His full head of golden hair became even more dazzling, shining brilliantly under the sunlight.
What was even more shocking was that on this figure's body, a true dragon coiled around him, roaring towards the sky, as if it wanted to tear a hole in the heavens.
And in this figure's hand, he held a giant axe. The enormous axe head also emitted a golden light, engraved with dragon-shaped patterns, lifelike, as if a true dragon was roaring furiously within the giant axe. The dragon axe seemed ready to split the sky.
"Is this still the Great Pest?" A smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips. The Great Pest at this moment was like a son of a dragon, with the strength to pull up mountains and the spirit to cover the world, like a war god descending, about to use the heaven-splitting giant axe to slay all gods and demons.
"Hehe, so it turns out I have an ancestor here. I thought I was born from a rock," the Great Pest's words left Lin Feng speechless. He didn't expect this guy to blurt out such a thing. However, Lin Feng was also quite shocked. This Supreme Venerable was actually Huangfu Long's ancestor?
"Lin Feng, I was right to come this time. No wonder my feeling was so strong. It turns out that the dead ghost buried here seems to share the same bloodline power as me. He might even be my ancestor," Huangfu Long said with a naive smile. He now understood why he had suddenly felt that strange sensation earlier—it was indeed related to him.
This Supreme Venerable had turned his blood into a bloodline, sealing it beneath the desert. Ordinary people wouldn't even believe there was a treasure here. Only those with his bloodline could sense it. The Supreme Venerable was waiting for someone with the same bloodline power as him to arrive. Fortunately, before anyone else discovered it, this powerful Venerable had waited for Huangfu Long's arrival, who inherited his bloodline and obtained his mighty battle axe.
"You don't know your own background?" Lin Feng was somewhat surprised. With Huangfu Long's achievements today, could he really not know his own origins?
"Hehe, I don't know. I grew up wild. Originally, my greatest wish in life was to defile a Holy Maiden and marry the Heavenly Lake Holy Maiden as my wife. Looks like my ambition might have been too small," Huangfu Long said, scratching his head. Although his words were hearty and simple, they left Lin Feng silent. Within this cheerful tone, there was undoubtedly a hint of bitterness.
He didn't know his background, so he wanted to marry the Heavenly Lake Holy Maiden to prove his existence. No wonder this guy kept shouting that Tianchi Xue was his wife.
"Your wife will definitely be far more outstanding than Tianchi Xue," Lin Feng said with a smile.
Huangfu Long nodded and grinned, "I think so too."
Among the crowd, a snow-white figure stood there, looking up at the war god-like figure in the void, her gaze extremely complicated. This person was Tianchi Xue, whom Lin Feng had mentioned. In the past, she had looked down on Lin Feng and Huangfu Long, especially when Huangfu Long clung to her. She found it repulsive. How could Huangfu Long be worthy of her? But she never expected that so soon, Lin Feng, Huangfu Long, and the others would be on par with Yu Tianji, while she, the Holy Maiden Tianchi Xue, could only stand on the ground and look up at them.
In her heart, a faint trace of regret flowed, accompanied by a sense of bitterness. Perhaps this simple and naive Huangfu Long could truly become a generation of war generals, using the dragon axe to split open a piece of the world.
"Lin Feng, the bloodline concentration in this blood pool is too strong. I can't absorb it all. You go in too and temper your bones and muscles," Huangfu Long said to Lin Feng with a smile. Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. Indeed, with the Great Pest's current cultivation level, he couldn't fully absorb the blood pool formed by the Supreme Venerable's bloodline.
Lin Feng glanced at the others, and Huangfu Long added, "Don't worry, you go in first, then them, one by one, until the bloodline power is exhausted."
"Alright." Lin Feng nodded, not standing on ceremony. He gave a slight nod to the others, then took a step, and his body directly plunged into the blood pool.
In an instant, a scorching sensation flowed through his body, stinging Lin Feng's skin.
"Roar..." A dragon's roar came from the blood pool, startling the crowd. What was going on? Why did a dragon roar occur when Lin Feng entered?
"This guy also has the power of the dragon bloodline," Huangfu Long grinned, then swept his gaze over the crowd. He hoisted the giant dragon axe onto his shoulder and roared at the crowd, "What are you looking at? Get lost now!"
The crowd's expressions stiffened as they stared at Huangfu Long. This bastard! He let Lin Feng enter to receive the baptism of the blood pool, but he wanted to drive them away. What a bastard!
"Roar! Today, I'm going to be domineering for once!" Huangfu Long, carrying the dragon axe, slowly walked forward. He rested one hand on the dragon axe and said coldly, "All of you, retreat ten miles away, or don't blame me for being rude."
Many people's faces darkened. One of them rebuked, "Are you not being too presumptuous? We're not trying to seize the treasure. Can't we even watch from here?"
"Hmph..." Huangfu Long exhaled, taking the giant dragon axe off his shoulder and staring at the man. "If you weren't thinking of snatching it, would you be here watching for nothing? If my brothers weren't so strong, you would have made a move long ago. Since that's the case, I don't need to be polite with you."
"I'll use you first to test how powerful this axe is." As Huangfu Long spoke, his arm made a cracking sound, drawing a powerful arc as the battle axe slashed out.
"Roar!" A dragon's cry shook people's hearts. The crowd only saw a terrifying sword light bloom, and the entire space was filled with golden radiance, slashing towards that person. Within the golden light, a true dragon roared furiously, directly striking the man. In an instant, the man's body turned to powder, completely vanishing from the space, not even having time to let out a scream.
"Are you all not leaving yet?" Huangfu Long lifted his axe, sweeping his gaze over the others, his demeanor overbearing.
