Chapter 148: Chapter 148: The Master’s Return
A dozen minutes later.
Gu Chenfeng reached the depths, where no other cultivators could be seen.
The Fire Spirit Race is a powerful clan that has been passed down for thousands of years, their strength too terrifying, even great powers dare not easily offend them.
It is precisely because of this that the Fire Spirit Race dares to arrogantly occupy the Southern Observation Wilderness.
Gu Chenfeng frowned and thought to himself, "The Fire Spirit Race has gone mad for treasure, actually sealing off the Southern Observation Wilderness."
Of course.
Regardless of whether it’s the Fire Spirit Race or any other great power, none can stop Gu Chenfeng from retrieving his own belongings.
At this moment.
"Whoosh!"
A figure suddenly flashed into appearance, blocking Gu Chenfeng’s path.
The newcomer was indeed from the Fire Spirit Race, at the Soul Emergence Stage realm.
"Ice attribute?" The Fire Spirit clansman was slightly surprised, then frowned and asked, "Kid, who are you? Which power are you from?"
"A living person," Gu Chenfeng answered indifferently.
The man curled his lips into a mocking smile, arrogantly saying, "Kid, I don’t care who you are or which power you hail from. You have two choices: go back the way you came, or die. Choose one."
Gu Chenfeng replied coldly, "I choose the third path."
"The third path is also death!" The man grinned cruelly, and powerful fire attribute spiritual power quickly surged forth, ready to strike down Gu Chenfeng.
As the Nalan Race people said, even if you are from a great power, the Fire Spirit Race will not be afraid in the least, and definitely ensure that you have no return.
"Soul-Breaking Technique!" Gu Chenfeng formed a sword point with his right hand, coldly commanding in his heart, then swiftly flew past the man.
The man at the Soul Emergence stage’s face changed drastically, exclaiming in surprise, "My body cannot move! There is a force sealing my spiritual power! What did this kid do to me?"
The Soul-Breaking Technique can control the enemy’s body, sealing the spiritual power within.
Even a soul emergence stage expert can be instantly controlled.
Fortunately, the man had already activated his spiritual power early on and was now desperately resisting.
"You brat! You’re tired of living!" The man roared angrily, desperately activating his spiritual power.
Gu Chenfeng paid no heed; he must quickly ascertain whether the Fire Spirit Race had found the treasure he sealed away.
Unfortunately.
Just as Gu Chenfeng flew over several hundred meters, more powerful Fire Spirit clansmen appeared and intercepted him.
"You brat! Dare to trespass into the domain controlled by our Fire Spirit Race; you are seeking death!" One person shouted angrily at Gu Chenfeng, a terrifying killing intent erupting forth.
"Shadow of Space!" Gu Chenfeng immediately executed his body technique.
His figure suddenly vanished into thin air, and when he reappeared, he was already hundreds of meters behind the several men.
"Such a strong body technique, the aura disappears instantly."
"Such fast speed! And possessing ice attribute spiritual power! Truly something!"
"Stop wasting time, hurry up and chase him!"
A few soul emergence stage clansmen quickly chased after him.
With the repeated execution of Shadow of Space, Gu Chenfeng’s figure emerged and vanished from thin air.
Even with the soul emergence stage experts pursuing at full speed, it was difficult to catch up to Gu Chenfeng.
This left the several soul emergence stage experts bewildered.
They had never seen such a bizarre and powerful body technique.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Gu Chenfeng, while executing Shadow of Space, conjured vast ice swords to attack, thus hindering the Fire Spirit Race’s pursuit.
But at this moment.
A terrifying momentum and pressure suddenly descended from the sky, with a massive hundred-zhang flaming hand pressing down from above, carrying an unmatched terrifying might.
"Integration Stage!" Gu Chenfeng’s face changed drastically.
The dreadful momentum and pressure all came at Gu Chenfeng, rendering his body immobile and nearly taking his breath away.
"No wonder it’s the Integration Stage! The Celestial Emperor’s Blood hasn’t fully awakened, unable to withstand this pressure!" Gu Chenfeng thought to himself.
Gu Chenfeng was merely at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, unable to withstand the pressure from the Integration Stage.
"Daring to trespass into the Fire Spirit Race’s lands, you must have prepared to meet your death." A transcendent voice echoed from the sky, filled with a formidable pressure.
Gu Chenfeng, gritting his teeth, said with difficulty, "The Southern Observation Wilderness is not owned by your Fire Spirit Race!"
"It wasn’t before, now it is. Kid, obediently accept death." The arrogant and ethereal voice echoed in the sky, an even more terrifying momentum and pressure ruthlessly bearing down.
Simultaneously.
A figure floated into appearance, pressing down a palm towards Gu Chenfeng.
The colossal flaming hand from above accelerated its descent, the fearsome fire attribute spiritual power seeming to ignite everything.
Gu Chenfeng gritted his teeth to endure, his face twisted as blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.
Gu Chenfeng, with extreme difficulty, formed a sword point and forcibly activated ice attribute spiritual power, finally shouting, "Divine Lock! Open!"
As Gu Chenfeng’s voice fell.
In the deepest part of the wilderness, suddenly a pair of giant eyes opened, exclaiming with extreme excitement, "The Divine Lock has been unlocked! Master has returned!"
"Roar!"
Amid the excitement, an earth-shattering roar erupted.
A terrifying force mixed within the roar, reverberating through the Southern Observation Wilderness.
"Ancient demon beast!"
"This is coming from the sealed grounds!"
"Such terrifying power! This ancient demon beast’s strength is at least late stage of crossing tribulation!"
The Fire Spirit Race experts were all shocked, their gazes immediately turning towards the deepest part of the wilderness.
Not only the Fire Spirit Race.
The cultivators in the Southern Observation Wilderness all heard the earth-shattering roar.
Whether at the nascent soul stage, soul emergence stage, or integration stage experts, they all turned and ran.
This terrifying roar made them feel boundless fear.
Gu Chenfeng’s pale face showed a smile, transmitting, "Candle Dragon, it’s me, I have unlocked the Divine Lock, quickly bring out my sealed treasure."
"Master! It’s truly you!" Candle Dragon was extremely exhilarated, its terrifying divine sense instantly locating Gu Chenfeng, immediately transmitting respectfully, "Master! I am coming right away!"
The next second.
"Buzz, buzz!"
The deepest part of the wilderness suddenly vibrated violently, the tremor spreading from the depths, instantly extending across the entire wilderness, an unmatched terrifying force erupting from the depths as well.
An unimaginably terrifying force spread instantly from the depths to the entire wilderness.
Even at the periphery, one could clearly feel this terrifying force that could make one’s soul tremble, akin to a feeling of falling into hell-like fear.
"Such terrifying ancient spiritual power! Isn’t this demon beast at the middle stage of crossing tribulation?"
"Peak of late stage of crossing tribulation! The demon beast’s power has increased!"
"How is this possible? The demon beast is actually at the peak of late stage crossing tribulation! Combined with ancient spiritual power, the strength of this ancient demon beast might rival the Mahayana Stage!"
"So terrifying an ancient demon beast, can their clan leader handle it?"
Feeling the terrifying spiritual power of the Candle Dragon, the Fire Spirit clansmen fell into extreme fear.
Then.
"Fire Spirit clansmen heed the order! All clansmen above the Integration Stage, proceed immediately to the sealed grounds!" A voice full of authority sounded in the minds of the Fire Spirit Race experts.
For a moment, all the powerful clansmen of the Fire Spirit Race above the Integration Stage flew swiftly towards the sealed grounds.
