Chapter 614: Chapter 614: Demon Sword Body! (4 more)

After about half an hour, Ling Feng finally emerged from the Heavenly Strategy Spring, breaking through the surface of the water and landing at the edge of the pool, where he sat down cross-legged.

His body had reached its limit in containing spiritual energy, and now, it was time to break through the 81st Meridian, the third heavenly chasm.

Similarly, Miss Tuoba Yan didn’t spend too long in the Heavenly Strategy Spring. Although her cultivation was higher than Ling Feng’s, her meridians and physique were far inferior, and the spiritual power she could absorb in a short time was still less than Ling Feng.

One hour...

Two hours...

Ling Feng took over three hours to refine the tremendous spiritual energy within his body, and finally opened the 81st Meridian.

Not only that, but with the accumulation over this period, he surged from the 81st Meridian directly to the 85th Meridian, taking a big leap toward the goal of the Hundred Meridian Limit.

"Phew..."

He exhaled a turbid breath slowly, feeling the surging powerful strength within his body, this time it had truly been a worthwhile trip.

When he opened his eyes, that woman, Tuoba Yan, was sitting opposite him, seemingly watching Ling Feng. As soon as she saw Ling Feng opening his eyes, she quickly shifted her gaze away.

Although the path of cultivation for the Sky Strategy Clan was somewhat different from that of ordinary martial artists, the general principle was the same, such as the need to open meridians in the Magnetic Condensation Realm to accommodate more spiritual power.

Even with Tuoba Yan’s gifted physique, she had only opened some sixty-plus meridians, whereas Ling Feng, who seemed to have only forty-some meridians accessible, had actually opened over eighty.

This was indeed a terrifying matter.

It seemed that even if they were to really fight, it was uncertain whether she would be able to kill Ling Feng; she might actually die by his hand.

Ling Feng touched his nose, the remaining Heavenly Strategy Spring was still more than half full, both he and Tuoba Yan had only absorbed a small part, and much more had been "stored" by Zi Feng.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Feng willed, directly opened the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, and took the entire pool of Heavenly Strategy Spring into the Water Origin Realm. With this, whenever he had the chance, he could soak in the Heavenly Strategy Spring to naturally boost his cultivation realm swiftly.

After all, this was the Heavenly Strategy Spring that even Emperor Strong viewed as a precious treasure!

Seeing Ling Feng taking away every drop of the Heavenly Strategy Spring, Tuoba Yan just bit her crimson lips and did not say much.

She had gained both the Heavenly Strategy Treasure and the "Thirteen Heavenly Strategies", so it was Ling Feng’s turn for the Heavenly Strategy Spring.

"Miss Tuoba, it’s time to head back."

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and said to Tuoba Yan, "Elder Hei Yu told you to kill me in the Imperial Mausoleum, or else, we can leave separately and say that we didn’t encounter each other in the Imperial Mausoleum."

"There’s no need," Tuoba Yan replied, locking her eyes on Ling Feng. "I have decided not to strike at you anymore. Moreover, it seems that the poison from the Red Dust Heart Devouring Gu hasn’t been completely removed; I simply can’t muster the intent to kill you."

"Oh?" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, quickly approached Tuoba Yan, and said lightly, "Excuse me."

With that, he gently lifted Tuoba Yan’s wrist and placed his fingers on her pulse to feel it for a moment, then frowned slightly and said, "It seems to be true. The poisonous insect poison in your body hasn’t been completely removed, and it’s a Gu poison deployed by Emperor Tiance himself; I don’t have a quick remedy for it right now."

Ling Feng had cleared the Gu poison within his own body through the will of the Sky White Emperor Technique, but Tuoba Yan was not that lucky.

"However, it’s just some residual poison. It shouldn’t be as malicious as the complete Red Dust Heart Devouring Gu."

Ling Feng smiled faintly and said, "For now, it just means you can’t harbor killing thoughts towards me, which should not be too big of an issue."

Tuoba Yan bit her silver teeth, her face slightly reddened as if recalling some embarrassing moments when she was poisoned, and she said, "Let’s go."

"Okay, let’s go!"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and chuckled to himself, "All the way here, I didn’t see that Lee Qingling; it seems he has perished within the Soldier Soul Array."

"What did you say?" Tuoba Yan saw that Ling Feng still hadn’t moved, her brows furrowing slightly. After all, just outside the hall was that incredibly dangerous Soldier Soul Array. Without Ling Feng leading the way, forcibly entering the array, even though their strength had greatly increased at this moment, would still pose no small threat.

"It’s nothing."

Ling Feng shook his head and, as he walked out of the secret chamber, glanced one more time at the Demon Sword that lay shattered into several pieces on the ground. The sword was already broken like this; it probably had no use anymore.

Moreover, even if it were useful, he wouldn’t have the slightest interest in such a fierce and evil Demon Artifact. The Ten Directions Annihilation in his possession was the weapon that best suited him.

"Let this Demon Artifact rest here forever."

With a faint smile, Ling Feng stepped back into the Soldier Soul Array with Tuoba Yan, and, with the power of the Emperor’s Eye, quickly made their way out and returned, leaving the Imperial Mausoleum.

Perhaps there were still other Treasures or secrets buried here, but Ling Feng had lost any interest in knowing them.

And just as Ling Feng and his companion left the great hall, a flash of Blood Light within the Soldier Soul Array, and another figure dashed out.

That figure, covered in blood and in a desperate state, had clearly suffered no small hardships within the Soldier Soul Array, and even on his left shoulder, there was an incredibly clean cut that had shaved off a chunk of bone.

Had the injury been a half-inch deeper, the entire arm would likely have been chopped off.

This person was naturally the third entrant into the Emperor Tomb, Lee Qingling.

"Ha ha ha... A mere Soldier Soul Array, how could it stop me!"

Lee Qingling’s eyes twinkled with an intense manic fervor as he murmured, "Immortal Divine Medicine! Immortal Divine Medicine!..."

At this moment, Lee Qingling, with disheveled hair and looking like a madman, was as obsessed with immortality as Emperor Tiance himself, his obsession also turning him into another crazed individual.

Dragging his miserable body, Lee Qingling slowly approached the palace, every step agonizing, leaving a trail of blood footprints.

Step by step, he entered the palace, only to find that it appeared to have been the site of a fierce battle. The furnishings inside the palace were all askew, and in the center of the main hall stood a Mysterious Altar, beneath which lay shards of broken blades.

"No! No!"

Lee Qingling was nearly driven mad, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He hurried forward, opened the Treasure Box next to the Golden Dragon Chair, only to find that the box was empty.

And behind the Dragon Chair, the secret chamber was also devoid of anything, only some residual Spiritual Energy lingered.

"Damn it, those two juniors! To think they have pre-empted me, no! No!"

Lee Qingling’s eyes seemed ready to spout fire, having survived nine deaths within the Soldier Soul Array, only to find that the Great Emperor’s treasure had been claimed by others.

"Where is my Immortal Divine Medicine! Where is it! Pu—"

Overcome with rage, Lee Qingling suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, overturning the altar in the middle of the main hall.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded: his blood spilled onto the ground, was actually absorbed by the remnants of the Demon Sword. Then, the sword fragments grew vine-like tendrils that quickly wrapped around Lee Qingling’s entire left arm, voraciously devouring his fresh blood.

"Ah!"

Intense pain nearly made Lee Qingling faint, and in an instant, his eyes, like Emperor Tiance’s before, filled with blood.

Finally, his arm merged with the Demon Sword. Lee Qingling looked at his left arm and murmured to himself, "Demon Sword Body, the Soul undying, only I, Immortal! Ha ha ha..."
