Boom, boom, boom …
The cannons outside Rivertown exploded. The sky and land instantly turned into a sea of fire. Countless beasts were killed.
Even if there were some that escaped, they were killed by the soldiers that came after them.
Wisps of blood fell like a drizzle, and the ground was dyed dark red. Even with the protection of the Blue Moon's protective barrier, the pungent smell of blood could still be smelled.
After the Demonic Beasts were killed, all kinds of colorful Demonic Beasts rushed out like rainbows attracted by a mysterious force and flew into the air.
At this time, the crescent-shaped Blue Moon was like a budding flower. From the center of the crescent-shaped Blue Moon, there was a small gap. A large number of beasts were being sucked in.
"They are all low-level beasts." Lin Feng looked at this scene calmly.
A demon spirit was the amalgamation of a demonic beast's soul and strength after it died. Unless it was sealed in the Blue Moon or some special container, it would dissipate after a short period of time.
As the guardian artifact of Rivertown, the Blue Moon had many other functions besides providing protection and monitoring. Suppressing the beastly nature of the beasts was one of them. However, it required a large amount of energy to activate this function. Normally, it would only be activated on the day of awakening. In order to provide the students with beasts to refine in the long term, every base city would send out a large number of soldiers to hunt and annihilate the beasts.
The Green Peak Mountain outside Rivertown was the main hunting ground.
Lin Feng used to hunt beasts in the endless cannons. Therefore, when he saw this scene, he didn't have much of a reaction.
He was already used to this kind of scene, unlike the students beside him, whose faces were flushed and their bodies were trembling with excitement.
He also knew that this kind of hunting was limited to the outer area of the Green Peak Mountain. They wouldn't go deep inside.
The core area of the Green Peak Mountain was full of high-level beasts. There were even many King Level beasts. Even if Rivertown had the strength to encircle and annihilate them, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, although this scene looked shocking, it was far from a real siege of beasts. It was not even worth mentioning compared to the nightmarish massacre in his memory.
The beasts that were killed by the cannons were at most Level Five. Even Level Five beasts were very rare.
What was truly precious were the demon spirits that people had continuously sent into the Blue Moon over the past hundred years.
For example, the demon spirits that were delivered by those people on the altar were all Grade 6 and above. There were even quite a few that were Grade 7 and Grade 8. After hundreds of years of elimination, the remaining demon spirits were the real treasures. Only a top-notch genius could obtain them.
"At this moment, the Blue Moon is starting to suppress the bestial nature of the demon spirit. It will take about ten minutes."
Linfeng looked at Jiang Chu on the altar, his eyes filled with respect.
As one of the Guardians of Rivertown, Jiang Chu's strength wasn't the strongest among the Guardians. However, in that battle, his performance was the most ferocious and crazy.
He was the first Guardian to self-destruct towards the white-clothed youth. Although he did not cause any harm to the white-clothed youth, it encouraged everyone.
"There are too many people. I can't move at all."
Retracting his gaze, Lin Feng looked around, searching for his target in the crowd!
Every year on the Day of Awakening, some geniuses would appear, and this year was no exception.
Or perhaps …
This Day of Awakening was the only exception.
Because this time, there was a monster named Ye Qiu.
This young man named Ye Qiu was a Grade 2 Physique Cultivator at the age of ten, Grade 6 Physique Cultivator at the age of twelve, and Grade 9 Physique Cultivator at the age of fifteen. Such talent was worthy of the title of genius.
And this was just the beginning.
After fusing with his Natal Demon Spirit at the age of sixteen, his life was like a cheat code.
In less than a month, he broke through Grade 9 Physique Cultivator and became a martial artist.
At the age of 18, he entered Grade 5 and became the captain of the Great Wall Academy team. He led the team to participate in the National University of Glory League and won the runner-up title, earning him the title of the most valuable Glory Player.
At the age of 20, he graduated from college and entered Grade 7.
At the age of 22, he reached Grade 9. It was also in that year that he was awarded the title of Son of the City by Rivertown.
At the age of 23, he successfully underwent the Spirit Qi Baptism and became a Martial Lord, stepping into the ranks of true masters.
In just four short years, when he reached the National Guardian Level at the age of 27, the world was shocked.
National Guardian Level!
That was the most powerful armed force in the country, and such a strong person enjoyed the respect and worship of the people all over the country.
It was important to note that since the Spirit Qi Revival, the youngest National Guardian Level Cultivator was 42 years old. Ye Qiu had surpassed that by 15 years.
Although he unfortunately fell in less than a year after becoming a National Guardian Level Cultivator, his short life shocked the world with his monstrous talent.
If Ye Qiu had not fallen so early, perhaps the disaster in Rivertown could have been avoided.
In his past life, although they were of the same age, the gap between Linfeng and Ye Qiu was like the gap between a firefly and the moon. In the face of such a monstrous talent, one could only look up to him. Even jealousy and envy were powerless.
In his past life, Ye Qiu was Linfeng's idol, or rather, the idol of all the young people. Many dreamed of reaching the same height as him.
But today, they were at the same starting point.
Linfeng knew that the demon spirit that Ye Qiu had fused with this time was in the shape of a human figure. It was a Grade 5 Shadow Demon Spirit.
Demon spirits were separated into 9 grades, corresponding to the Fighter's grade.
Grade 1 was the lowest, while Grade 9 was the highest.
Grade 1 to 3 were Low Rank Demon Spirits, Grade 4 to 6 were Mid Rank Demon Spirits, and Grade 7 to 9 were High Rank Demon Spirits.
Grade 5 Demon Spirits were Mid Rank Demon Spirits. Although they were unable to reach High Rank, they were still not something that ordinary people could refine.
However, when Ye Qiu broke the historical record, people were puzzled. With his talent, why would he choose a Grade 5 Shadow Demon Spirit on his Awakening Day at the age of 16?
One must know that for a Demon Spiritualist, as their strength increases, the number of demon spirits that they can refine will increase. However, it is undeniable that the first demon spirit, which is the Natal Demon Spirit, is the most important.
The demon spirit also needs to evolve and grow, which requires a lot of resources and time.
A Fighter's soul force is limited. Therefore, some powerful Demon Spiritualists are very picky about their Natal Demon Spirit. Many powerful Demon Spiritualists only nurture one demon spirit in their lifetime.
Furthermore, according to the records, Ye Qiu had never used this Shadow Demon Spirit in battle. What he used was a Hell Mantis that was ranked 231st on the Earth Ranking, while his Natal Demon Spirit was only at Grade 5. Not only was there a huge difference between the two of them, the difference in their fighting strength and innate ability was like heaven and earth.
This mystery has always been an unsolved mystery. Until the third year after Ye Qiu's death, when his wife was tidying up his belongings at home, she found a diary. Only then did people know the truth.
That human figure demon spirit wasn't a Shadow Demon Spirit, but a demon spirit that had never been recorded before. It was named Nightmare by Ye Qiu.
Nightmare and Shadow Demon Spirits didn't have much difference in appearance. If one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to tell them apart. Therefore, it wasn't discovered at that time.
Demon beasts are separated into 9 grades.
Above the 9 grades, there are the Earth and Earth Rankings.
The Earth Ranking has 389 demon beasts, whose strength is comparable to a Martial King. The Heaven Ranking only has 86 demon beasts. Many of the demon beasts on the Heaven Ranking have already gone extinct. Even if they survive, their existence is something that even National Guardians would be afraid of.
Outside of the Earth and Earth Rankings, there is a Rare Beast Ranking. The demon beasts on this ranking are extremely rare. Many of them aren't strong, but they have special abilities.
For example, the famous Gold Seeking Mouse.
Refining its demon spirit would give one the ability to search for heavenly treasures. To a certain extent, it's even more precious than the demon spirits on the Earth Ranking, or even the Heaven Ranking.
There were a total of 67 rare demon spirits on the Rare Beasts List. After Ye Qiu's death, the Nightmare Lord was included as well. Out of the 68 rare beasts, it was ranked seventh.
This is an extremely rare demon spirit. This demon spirit doesn't have any battle prowess. Its only ability is to allow the refiner to have super high comprehension and cultivation speed.
It can allow a person with ordinary talent to become a genius with monstrous talent.
This demon spirit is extremely evil. It is also known as the Evil Spirit because, other than giving its possessor monstrous talent, it will also constantly devour the possessor's life force and soul. As its strength increases, its lifespan decreases.
The only way to survive is to always be stronger than the Nightmare Demon.
Refining it means that you will always be chased by the Grim Reaper.
Ye Qiu unfortunately died at the age of 28. It is very likely that his soul and life force were completely devoured.
And it is Linfeng's target this time.
"Hua!"
Suddenly, the sea of people let out a huge sound of waves.
Linfeng raised his head and looked. He saw that the Blue Moon, which originally had a small gap, suddenly emitted a bright light. It accumulated in the Divine Artifact. Tens of thousands of demon spirits crazily rushed out like a rainbow. It was extremely shocking.
