“What is that?” Zhang Qichu and the others were shocked awake from their sleep. They gazed at the gigantic figure in the distance. It was so large that it seemed it could support the weight of the sky.
A bright light gleamed in Lin Feng’s eyes. “I heard that when a cultivator breaks through to the legendary Yin Yang Realm, they will be able to manifest a heaven-earth avatar. This heaven-earth avatar’s head touches the sky with its feet stepping on the ground and contains the power of gods and devils.”
“What? A heaven-earth avatar? So powerful? Could it be that there’s a Yin Yang Realm expert among the demons and devils? My heavens, existence on this level is simply like a god in the sky. In the few thousand years of our True Martial Country’s history, an expert on this level has never appeared before. How could a Yin Yang Realm demon or devil appear within our country?” said Wang Xuanming in shock.
“Let’s go and take a look. We have to find out what has happened,” Lin Feng spoke.
During the night, the seven of them increased their traveling speed.
On their way there, they killed several demons and devils. Half a month later, they came to a region with huge fissures on the ground.
There were already many people gathered here. Some were students of Jialan Academy, unaffiliated cultivators, adventurers, or mercenary groups who wished to enter the subterranean world to search for treasures.
They weren’t here in service of their country.
A mercenary group like the Crazed Dragon Mercenary Group that acted for the sake of the country was considered extremely rare.
When Lin Feng and the others came here, there were even some adventurers and mercenary groups that revealed sinister smiles when they glanced over. Their gazes were clearly filled with ill intentions.
For the sake of benefits, these people could do anything.
Killing and plundering was no stranger to them.
Lin Feng’s group was merely a bunch of youths, and they had no guards with them. It was very normal that they would be targeted.
Lin Feng frowned. “Seems like there are fish and dragons mixed in this place. We have to be more careful. After entering the subterranean world, not only must we be on our guard ourselves against the devils, but we also have to pay attention to the human cultivators that we are not acquainted with to avoid being ambushed.”
“Mhm.” Zhang Qichu and the others nodded.
Su Zimo spoke, “Let me go and investigate the incident of the heaven-earth avatar.”
“Go on.” Lin Feng nodded.
Not long later, Su Zimo returned.
“Have you found out anything?” Li Kun impatiently asked.
“That heaven-earth avatar appeared precisely in this location. It’s said that back then, the ninth disciple of the overseas Blazing Flame Demon King fought against the supreme genius Liu Piaomiao of Sunmoon City here,” replied Su Zimo.
The Sunmoon City was one of the ten ancient cities of the Eastern Commandery Divine Province, something of equal rank as the ancient Skysaint City. It had an ancient power backing it and was unimaginably powerful. It was also a holy ground for cultivation.
It was said that back then, the founder of True Martial City was none other than an external disciple of the ancient power in Sunmoon City.
This sounded incredible, but it was the truth. From this, one could tell how terrifying the foundations of Sunmoon City was. An external disciple with an ordinary status could actually create an empire that lasted thousands of years without falling after he had left the sect.
The foundations of ancient powers were truly unfathomable.
And the True Martial Country also belonged to the Sunmoon City. They had to pay tribute to Sunmoon City every year.
The Sunmoon City would then protect the True Martial Country if needed.
“Who is Liu Piaomiao?” Lin Feng asked.
Su Zimo spoke, “Liu Piaomiao is a leader of the army among the younger generation in Sunmoon City. In the younger generations of the Eastern Commandery Divine Province, he is one of the powerful monsters there. Although he’s only twenty this year, he has already broken through to the Yin Yang Realm.”
“Twenty years old! Yin Yang Realm!” Lin Feng’s eyes were wide open as a look of incomparable shock filled his face.
Su Zimo laughed bitterly. “Junior brother, there’s nothing strange about this matter. The founder of our True Martial Country is nothing more than an ordinary external disciple of Sunmoon City. From this, you can tell how terrifying an ancient power like Sunmoon City is.”
“The disparity is too great.” Lin Feng couldn’t help but sigh.
Originally, Lin Feng felt that him being at the ninth-level of the Martial Student Realm at fifteen years old was already considered a genius among geniuses.
But now, Lin Feng finally knew that he had been staring at the sky while being inside a well.
A twenty-years-old Yin Yang Realm expert actually appeared in a place like the Sunmoon City.
Only now did Lin Feng know how great the distance was between him and these true peak geniuses.
However, Lin Feng didn’t feel discouraged. In fact, this stimulated his boundless will to battle. Lin Feng believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to catch up sooner or later.
He would also break through to the Yin Yang Realm. At that time, flying through the air or tunneling through the ground would no longer pose a problem. He would be capable of anything: spitting fire, flying on clouds, transforming stone into gold, and grasping divine techniques.
“There are some people who already went down. Let us go as well,” Lin Feng spoke.Read more chapter on Grez MangaVelcom
“Right, let’s head down to the subterranean world. It’s said that in that world, devils run rampant. However, there are also many treasures the upper world doesn’t have. I wonder if we would have the luck to obtain some of these subterranean treasures?” Ouyang Li spoke with anticipation.
Lin Feng’s group entered the subterranean world.
It was dark and wet.
This place was covered by vegetation that was strangely large and tall. Many plants here contained intense poison, so one must not casually come in contact with them.
In fact, there were even several gigantic man-eating flowers that grew here.
They would usually hide under the ground. But if someone came, they would swiftly shoot out and devour their poor target in a single gulp. After that, they would use poison to numb their victims and slowly digest them.
Other than the environment being extremely vile and nasty, the subterranean world also contained devils and demons hiding in the darkness. These vile creatures could ambush the cultivators who had ventured down here at any time.
During the second day in the subterranean world, after they passed by an underground forest, Lin Feng’s group heard the sounds of people fighting.
They snuck nearer to observe and saw tens of young people being surrounded by three to four hundred mercenaries. These mercenaries were extremely ferocious and they had the advantage in numbers. Those young people basically couldn’t handle them.
Pu! Pu!
People were unceasingly being killed.
“Sneaky thieves of the Skywolf Mercenary Group, the elders of the Cloudsea Academy will take revenge for us!” the last student cursed venomously.
Pu!
A moment later, a spear from a skywolf mercenary penetrated his chest.
Lin Feng’s group wanted to act as reinforcements, but they were too late.
“Hmph, now that all of you have died, how could the Cloudsea Academy know who was the one that killed you all?” A mercenary group leader laughed coldly. After that, he commanded, “Loot their bodies!”
“Yes, sir.”
Very soon, the hundreds of mercenaries executed the order and departed after that.
Lin Feng’s group hurriedly rushed ahead and came before the bodies of the young students from the Cloudsea Academy.
They did a check, but no one was alive.
“These mercenaries are truly repulsive to the extreme. Now when the demons and devils are wreaking havoc in True Martial Country, they didn’t want to slay the demons and devils but actually chose to plunder and kill the cultivators of the country,” said Zhang Qichu with righteous indignation.
Lin Feng’s brows twitched. These people were from the Skywolf Mercenary Group. If he didn’t recall wrongly, back then the Duanmu Feiyang, who had bee killed by him, was none other than the young master of the Skywolf Mercenary Group.
“These are all students from Cloudsea Academy. We shouldn’t let their corpses lie in the wilderness. Let’s bury them,” said Lin Feng, involuntarily sighing. This was already the second time he had to bury cultivators who had died miserably. But this time, it was different from the first time when they had buried the bodies of the Jialan Academy’s students. The Jialan Academy’s students had died in the hands of demons and devils, but these students of the Cloudsea Academy had been killed by humans, people from the Skywolf Mercenary Group. This enraged Lin Feng completely.
Now that their country was in chaos, the Skywolf Mercenary Group not only did not support the country, but they even killed human cultivators just to gain some riches. Lin Feng wanted nothing more than to tear them into a thousand pieces. But sadly, his individual strength was too weak. He simply couldn’t do anything to the heinous Skywolf Mercenary Group.
They left after they had buried the bodies. During the third day, Lin Feng’s group received a piece of news. In a place a hundred miles from here, there was a Yellow Spring Stream. It was said that the Yellow Spring Stream would produce the Nine Serenities Yellow Spring Water.
Nine Serenities Yellow Spring Water was one of the most precious ‘spiritual liquid’ of heaven and earth. It was a supreme soul treasure. If one used it to cultivate, their strength would greatly increase.
After obtaining this piece of news, Lin Feng’s group made haste to the Yellow Spring Stream. However, on their way there, they encountered an ambush.
Numerous arrows flew toward them. Lin Feng’s group was in an incomparably sorry state as they evaded the arrows.
“Oh, you guys have some capabilities!” A burst of cold laughter rang out. After that, about fifty to sixty mercenaries appeared, including over ten skywolf knights. They had surrounded Lin Feng’s group.
Zhang Qichu, Su Zimo, and the others turned pale. These people were actually none other than the people from the Skywolf Mercenary Group they had met before.
