Chapter 1315: Chapter 873: Devouring Breakthrough

After leaving the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, Lin Feng flew for a dozen hours, and finally found a large mountain range after being billions of miles away from Tushan Town.

Those mountain ranges close to Tushan Town naturally had people from the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace hunting, so he had to go to more distant places.

Entering the mountain range, Lin Feng did not immediately devour demon beasts but landed on a small hill, sitting cross-legged with his eyes tightly shut.

Because his devouring mystical technique was about to reach the first rank.

Quietly sitting cross-legged on the ground, he gently activated the Devouring Stars, feeling the true meaning of devouring.

As he continued to comprehend, Lin Feng’s understanding of devouring became increasingly profound.

Another half day passed, and Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a surge of devouring mystical technique emanating from him, sweeping across a radius of ten miles.

"First rank!" Lin Feng’s face revealed a trace of a smile, his devouring mystical technique had reached a new realm, greatly increasing its power.

Without needing Yama Demon Saint’s reminder, he also knew that his devouring mystical technique had reached the first rank.

With the arrival of the one-month period, the hope of breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm is greatly promising.

As long as he breaks through to the Martial Emperor Realm, Leng Jiang should be nothing to fear!

Perhaps, he should indeed be as the Yama Demon Saint said, be more high-profile, showcase his immense talent, and make the academy take notice, causing all major forces to vie for him.

If so, maybe in the future, no one will dare to bother him!

Defeating Leng Jiang would mark the beginning of his rapid rise within the Divine Martial Academy!

After that, Lin Feng dared not waste time and immediately began to devour within the mountain range.

In the vast mountain range, beast roars shook the heavens, continuous wails echoed, and blood dyed the heavenly vault.

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, it seemed to transform into a blood-colored world.

Lin Feng’s figure continuously moved through the skies above the mountain range, countless beast souls struggled and roared as they converged towards him.

He devoured with madness, disregarding everything as he devoured, countless beast souls were devoured by him.

"Lin Feng, weren’t you going to give me some soul power?"

While flying, the voice of Yama Demon Saint’s thought was transmitted into Lin Feng’s mind.

He had been waiting for Lin Feng to give him the devouring soul power, which was the perfect medicine for his restoration.

"Then I’ll give you some!" Lin Feng said sternly, and immediately sent the soul power of dozens of king-level fierce beasts’ beast souls towards Yama Demon Saint.

In an instant, the soul power poured into Flame Demon Saint’s demon soul, fully absorbed by the latter.

Because Yama Demon Saint was within the Devouring Stars, Lin Feng could clearly feel the opponent’s demon soul’s power had somewhat restored.

Though the restoration was exceedingly limited, it indeed became slightly stronger.

Lin Feng promptly refrained from giving more soul power to the opponent, lest the opponent’s strength becomes too powerful, escaping his control.

"This... Lin Feng, could you give me some more?" Yama Demon Saint said with desperate desire.

Just the soul power from the previous moment allowed him to recover considerably, equivalent to ten years of quiet nurturing, making him exceedingly eager!

"Don’t worry, Ghost Saint, when I break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, I’ll certainly help restore you more!" Lin Feng said with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, Yama Demon Saint sighed inwardly, understanding that Lin Feng couldn’t allow him to restore too much, and forcing now would be futile.

He could only take it one step at a time, slowly!

Subsequently, Yama Demon Saint remained silent, sinking into a state of quietness.

Lin Feng continued to devour beast souls.

Rumble!

Just at this moment, the earth shook like a mountain, and a huge lizard appeared in the forest ahead.

This lizard was entirely azure and purple, with a body length of over a hundred feet, its enormous eyes shooting out blood-red light.

Whoosh!

The lizard flew into the sky, rushing directly towards Lin Feng, its ferocious and violent killing intent overwhelmed the sky.

Rumble!

Before approaching Lin Feng, the lizard’s massive tail swept across, like a gigantic long whip, crushing everything, sweeping across the void.

Seeing this, Lin Feng was not surprised but pleased, for this lizard was equivalent to an eighth-level, second-layer fierce beast of a Martial Emperor Realm second-layer martial artist.

He had been in this mountain range for some time, yet this was the first eighth-level, second-layer fierce beast he encountered.

Of course, the current mountain range was incredibly vast, and he was only in the perimeter area.

"Break!" Longsword in hand, Lin Feng fiercely slices out.

Whoosh!

The sharp Sword Qi cut through the air with an unstoppable force, and with just one strike, it severed the lizard’s tail.

Roar!

The lizard, whose tail was severed, showed no fear and became even more fierce. Its blood-red mouth opened wide, lunging towards Lin Feng.

A putrid wind rushed at him, the stench overwhelming as the blood-red mouth closed in rapidly on Lin Feng.

"Die!" Lin Feng shouted coldly, unleashing his full strength, striking fiercely at the lizard’s gaping maw.

Shhh!

The sword light flashed, tearing the giant lizard’s mouth open, and then its body was split in two, blood gushing like ocean waves, soaring hundreds of feet high.

The Beast Soul of the lizard was immediately devoured by Lin Feng.

The strength of the Level Eight Second Layer Fierce Beast was far inferior to that of Liao Yunjian and was no match for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng’s figure roamed the mountains, continuously killing and devouring, but he didn’t venture deeper into the mountains, as such a vast range surely harbored very powerful Fierce Beasts.

For ten days, Lin Feng remained in these mountains, devouring countless Beast Souls. He even devoured a few Martial Artists who were training in the mountains.

In ten days, his Star still hadn’t advanced to the Heavenly Level Ninth Rank, so he left the mountains and returned towards Tushan Town.

Time was running out; he had to go back, hoping the people of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace had captured enough Beast Souls for him.

A dozen hours later, Lin Feng returned to Tushan Town, finding the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace’s people had already returned before him.

Everyone handed over the Beast Souls they had obtained to Lin Feng, along with those acquired by mobilizing other forces in Tushan Town, amounting to millions of Beast Souls, all of which were Level Six and above.

Since Beast Souls are difficult to store, they had gone to a nearby large city before setting off and purchased a vast amount of Soul Crystals.

With millions of Soul Crystals handed to Lin Feng, he was overjoyed in his heart.

...

In the Jade Bracelet Space.

Mountains of Soul Crystals, containing various Beast Souls, were all compressed into tiny Soul Crystal spaces.

Standing beneath the great mountain of Soul Crystals, Lin Feng was solemn, his success or failure depended on this.

"Shatter!"

With a thought, Lin Feng exerted Space Power from the Jade Bracelet Space, causing the millions of Soul Crystals to shatter instantly.

In an instant, millions of Beast Souls surged out, deafening roars filling the entire space.

Countless Beast Souls covered the Heavenly Vault, blanketing the land, an awe-inspiring scene.

"Devour!"

Lin Feng released Devouring Stars, beginning a frenzied devouring.

The endless Beast Souls, like rivers returning to the sea, rushed into the Devouring Stars amidst terrified roars.

Time passed slowly, moment by moment.

In just a moment, Lin Feng had devoured ninety percent of the millions of Beast Souls.

At this moment, his Devouring Stars did not disappoint him; after a violent tremor, the ninth halo appeared on it.

Heavenly Level Ninth Rank Star!

At this moment, Devouring Stars finally reached the highest level of Stars.

"Haha!" Lin Feng was extremely happy, couldn’t help but laugh twice.

A moment later, having devoured all the Beast Souls, he temporarily suppressed his joy.

Next, he would attempt to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm.

Then, Lin Feng inquired from the Yama Demon Saint about the considerations for breaking through to Martial Emperor.

The Yama Demon Saint was experienced, although not from the Human Clan, he surely knew a lot.

From the Yama Demon Saint’s mouth, Lin Feng gained much useful information and got a detailed understanding of breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm.

Afterward, Lin Feng didn’t waste any time and immediately began his attempt to break through.

He cast aside all distractions, immersing his mind within, unifying his spiritual thoughts, connecting with the Stars, attempting to fuse the Devouring Mystical Technique and his own Divine Soul into the Stars.

Lin Feng first fused the Devouring Mystical Technique with the Stars, as this step was relatively simple.

The Devouring Mystical Technique and Devouring Stars were inherently very compatible, virtually of the same origin, making the fusion not too difficult.

In just an hour, the two perfectly fused together, endowing the Devouring Stars with a profound aura of the Great Path, its power even greater.

Next was the most difficult fusion of the Divine Soul; if successful, he would ascend to the Martial Emperor Realm.

This was the hardest step, also the most crucial!
