"You dare to mess around in front of me? Courting death!"
Feng Feiyun waved his sleeve and a white dragon flew out from his palm. This was a saber energy that had the power to split mountains.
There were a total of seven skeletons that rushed up. Their bodies were covered in newly grown flesh, and their veins could be seen clearly. The blood pool had been refined with the blood of the spiritualists, and it actually caused the skeletons to grow flesh, turning them into blood corpses.
Feng Feiyun unleashed a saber energy and cut the first skeleton in half. Its flesh turned into a puddle of blood, leaving only two bones on the ground.
The methods of evil treasure masters were truly strange and even more frightening than the corpse controllers from the northern border.
These skeletons were all Heaven's Mandate cultivators when they were alive. Their bones had been refined by the Earth Tribulation so they were as hard as jade. Even the Dragon King's Saber Art had a limited effect on them.
Feng Feiyun took out his stone saber. It was seven meters long and carried the domineering aura of the Dragon King along with its peerless power. It slashed horizontally and directly turned three of the skeletons into pieces.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
The auras of the skeletons and evil corpses were shattered and turned into smoke by the saber energy.
These powerful skeletons had been refined by the blood pond and absorbed the blood of spiritualists, but they still couldn't stop one slash from Feng Feiyun.
During the two days when Ji Cangyue was asleep, Feng Feiyun refined the one thousand year spirit grass and opened three meridians in his body. He was getting closer and closer to first-level Heaven's Mandate.
"Whoosh!"
A shadow flew past Feng Feiyun with the speed of a ghost and jumped into the blood pond. Feng Feiyun reached out with a palm shadow in order to capture this person.
The old woman grabbed Ji Cangyue and shot a ray of light behind her. It turned into a golden formation with tortoiseshell runes on it. It looked like a huge waterwheel as it shot towards Feng Feiyun.
"Ga ga!"
The old woman let out a dry laugh, grabbed Ji Cangyue, and directly jumped into the blood pool. She opened her mouth and bit Ji Cangyue's snow-white neck.
Chi!
The blood of the Xiantian spiritualist flowed out and flowed into the old woman's mouth. The blood was like a tonic that was instantly absorbed, and the old woman's body erupted with a blinding blood-red light.
The blood in the blood pool began to rapidly circulate. Bloody characters floated up and down on the surface, turning into a liquid formation. Countless amounts of blood flowed into the old woman's body.
"I want to seize the Innate Spiritualist's Blood Qi, condense endless life force, rejuvenate my youth, and restore my youth."
This old woman's body was densely covered with spirit patterns. Her old and yellow skin began to have fewer wrinkles, and her color began to turn white. Her white hair began to slowly turn black from the tip, and even her white eyebrows began to turn black.
She began to become younger. From eighty to ninety years old, to sixty years old, to fifty years old, to forty years old … to twenty years old. The originally ugly old woman suddenly became a young and beautiful woman like a flower and jade.
"Boom!"
Feng Feiyun shattered the golden formation. It flew out and landed on the edge of the blood pool. He stared at the scene in front of him. This … this was truly unacceptable.
A young woman turning into an old woman was a slow process. This process was indeed terrifying for women.
But when an ugly old woman suddenly turned into a beautiful young woman, this was also a terrifying thing for men.
This was a test of one's mental endurance.
Suddenly, the old woman let out a heart-wrenching scream. Her appearance changed back to its original state. Her jade-like skin became even more withered, and her body became hunchbacked. Her black hair became white and even began to fall off.
"You, you are also an Evil Treasure Seeking Master …" The old woman stared at Ji Cangyue in horror. She wanted to push her as far away as possible, but she simply couldn't get rid of Ji Cangyue.
Ji Cangyue's white daoist robe was completely soaked in blood. Her snow-white skin was covered in a thick layer of blood. She stood in the blood pool like a white lotus growing out from the blood as a pure sacred light condensed above her head.
The old woman cultivated the dao of an Evil Treasure Seeking Master. She wanted to take Ji Cangyue's spiritual body and regain her youth. However, she didn't expect for Ji Cangyue to cultivate the Grave Palace Treasure Seeking Record and walk the path of an Evil Treasure Seeking Master.
"Crack!"
The old woman's body became even older. After being devoured by Ji Cangyue, she turned into a pile of bones. In the end, not even her bones remained as she turned into a pile of bone dust.
Ji Cangyue's black hair fluttered in the wind. Her eyes were as dark as two pools of stagnant water. Because her clothes were soaked in blood, her graceful figure was perfectly outlined.
"Such a powerful evil energy. Her spiritualist blood is starting to turn into Evil Spirit Blood."
Feng Feiyun didn't hesitate and directly took out the Thunderfire Jewel. Thousands of lightning bolts flew out from the black jewel.
The power of a second-ranked spirit treasure was several times stronger than a first-ranked spirit treasure. Both its spirituality and power were extremely frightening. Half of the cave was directly destroyed as countless rocks and soil collapsed.
"Boom!"
A crack appeared in the ground, and a scorching heat wave rushed up from below. Red magma gushed out, covering the entire Thunderfire Pearl.
"Not good!
Ji Cangyue stole the old woman's dao foundation and actually triggered the Earth Tribulation. "
Feng Feiyun felt a turbulent energy condensing under the ground. There was a terrifying tribulation energy coming from all directions, making people feel uneasy.
At this moment, Feng Feiyun didn't dare to stay in the cave anymore. After all, he was about to face the Earth Tribulation. If Ji Cangyue's tribulation energy attracted his own Earth Tribulation, the consequences would be unimaginable.
How high was Feiyun's aptitude?
The higher the talent, the stronger the Earth Tribulation. Even with Feng Feiyun's current cultivation, he wasn't confident that he could survive the Earth Tribulation.
In history, many Grand Historical geniuses died because of the Earth Tribulation. This wasn't strange at all.
After putting away the Thunderfire Jewel, Feng Feiyun's body flew up and broke through the thick layer of soil. He turned into a ray of light and flew into the sky, landing on a cliff two hundred miles away.
Standing on the cliff, he faced the wind and looked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
Many places on the ground began to crack. Lava energy surged from the ground and magma surged up from eight directions, rushing towards Ji Cangyue.
The temperature of the magma was terrifying. Even iron would melt, let alone a human body.
"Ji Cangyue is indeed a natural-born spiritualist. She actually attracted eight magma rivers. She's only one step away from becoming a Grand Historical genius.
I wonder how many rivers of magma I can attract to temper my body when I undergo the Earth Tribulation. "Feng Feiyun stared into the distance.
When undergoing the Earth Tribulation, the more lava one attracted, the greater the potential and talent of the person.
For example, a Grand Historical genius could attract nine rivers of magma. Of course, this referred to the weakest of the Grand Historical geniuses.
For example, when Shi Yelai underwent the Earth Tribulation, he attracted nine rivers of magma. When Su Yun underwent the Earth Tribulation, he attracted eleven rivers of magma.
They were both Grand Historical geniuses, but the gap between them was huge.
This was why the prestige of the eight older Grand Historical geniuses was far greater than the cultivators who became Grand Historical geniuses later on.
The wise sages who left their names on the holy monument all attracted twelve rivers of magma during their Earth Tribulation.
In the history of the Jin Dynasty, there was an extraordinary person who attracted thirteen rivers of magma during his Earth Tribulation. This was the most talented Grand Historical genius in the history of the dynasty.
However, Feng Feiyun knew that this world was vast and boundless. There were a few terrifying geniuses whose talents were even more frightening than Grand Historical geniuses. They were called "Legendary Geniuses" or "Mythical Geniuses".
However, there had never been a Legendary Genius in the history of the Jin Dynasty. Perhaps the majority of cultivators simply didn't know about them.
In his previous life, Feng Feiyun was a Legendary Genius. He only cultivated for one thousand years before reaching the ninth level of Heaven's Emergence.
"If I can get the Yang Soul Holy Embryo, I might be able to reach the Legendary Genius level with a human body or even higher. However, I am still far from that level right now."
Feng Feiyun speculated that if he were to undergo the Earth Tribulation right now, he would only be able to attract twelve rivers of magma. Due to the limitations of his natural physique, it would be very difficult to break through to a higher level. Unless … he could challenge the Immeasurable Tower and improve his physique one more time.
Yan Ziyu challenged the Immeasurable Tower and improved his physique, allowing him to break through to the Grand Historical level.
"Rumble!"
The Earth Tribulation caused a great impact and alarmed many cultivators in the pagoda. Divine intents swept towards this direction. Some even came with their true bodies and stood in the clouds.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh! "Countless figures flew over.
For ordinary cultivators breaking through to the first level of Heaven's Mandate, it wouldn't cause such a commotion. However, for a heaven-defying genius who could attract eight rivers of magma, this was no small matter. Once they broke through, they would be able to fight across realms and become a true expert capable of fighting against older cultivators.
To be able to attract eight rivers of magma meant that they were top characters among heaven-defying geniuses. They had the power to kill second-level Heaven's Mandate cultivators and could even fight against third-level Heaven's Mandate cultivators.
A natural-born spiritualist's spiritual sense was peerless in this world, but their talents were still one step away from the Grand Historical level. However, in terms of battle prowess, they were even stronger than some Grand Historical Geniuses with nine rivers of magma.
Feng Feiyun felt a chill in his heart. He suddenly looked up and saw a black dot rapidly descending towards the ground outside of the stars. This earth-shattering pressure caused others to tremble.
"This is … this is the Earth Tribulation, Star Fall!"
Feng Feiyun was shocked. Ji Cangyue's Earth Tribulation actually attracted a strand of Heaven's Tribulation. Only Ju Qing, a ninth-level Heaven's Mandate, could attract this kind of power.
Although it was only a strand, it was still very frightening.
