Dry road dust scattered under the wooden wheels of an old carriage moving slowly along a border rat trail. Using a new anonymous identity as a sickly grey-veiled wanderer, Lin Feng moved across the Eastern Empire's border toward the arid southern region. There was no longer any majestic thick black robe or conspicuous silver eye glow on the surface. All Qi circulation within his main meridians was suppressed to the lowest level, hiding the rotation of his Black-White Core within his dantian to avoid friction with the spiritual radar arrays of the sky's spies still roaming about.Inside the carriage cabin, tightly sealed by thick tarp fabric, the atmosphere was very stiff and silent. Lin Feng sat cross-legged with his crystal back against the wooden wall. Between the gaps of his grey veil, he coughed briefly several times, releasing thin cold vapor that immediately condensed in the air. His human body still felt excruciating pain from the remnants of his broken ribs from the sky emissa

The stench of blood and iron rust carried by the wind intensified as the first iron-horned wolf's lunge locked straight onto its target. In that critical millisecond, the paralysis of his right hand did not shatter the tactical calculation within Lin Feng's mind. His human side squeezed the remaining limits of his body's reflexes. With a stiff left-footed stomp on a rotting tree root, Lin Feng evaded linearly with a rigid motion toward the lunge's blind spot angle.CRACK!The wolf's steel claws struck where Lin Feng had stood, crushing the black soil until thick red liquid sprayed. Lin Feng did not let that tactical momentum go to waste. Ignoring his still-numb right hand from the accumulated meridian poison, he spun his human body's axis linearly. Using pure muscle strength without a single drop of Original Qi flow, Lin Feng swung his left elbow with absolute mechanical precision, striking directly under the first wolf's still-wide-open jaw.CRACK!"GROOOARRR!" The wolf shrieked horr

The spiritual pressure radiated by that pair of giant red eyes was so massive that it made the air inside the ancient character dome tremble stiffly. The layer of black moss atop the white stone instantly dried and crumbled into ash from the extraordinarily hot ancient aura.CRACK! BOOM!The house-sized piles of ancient stone at the cave's center exploded into pieces. From behind the flying rubble and stone dust, the figure of a giant silver-white dragon emerged from behind the ancient stone piles, radiating the aura of a monster king that pressed absolutely. Its silver-crystal-scaled body coiled majestically through the cave ceiling's darkness, while its law-sword-sharp steel claws struck the stone floor with constant vibration."Lin Feng! Tactical retreat now! This monster's aura... it is at the absolute tyrant level!" Qiao Mulan shouted from the rear flank.Her fleshy fingers moved wildly across her golden zither's strings, ready to release silver wave ripples to create a spatial i

The golden aura radiating from that giant projection made the white stone ground beneath Lin Feng's feet feel hot. The golden-crowned face floating in the air looked down with a very stiff smile, radiating a forced false authority from behind the Sixth Heaven's laws. Its energy radiance scattered, creating a thin curtain separating the altar area from the cave's silence.Xiao Cu's face projection stared at Lin Feng with a condescending gaze from behind the golden energy screen. Its golden-glowing eyes moved linearly, scanning Lin Feng's worn black robe and crystal meridian lineage still bearing blood stains from yesterday's border war."So... this is the monochrome anomaly spoken of by the envoys above the clouds?" Xiao Cu's projection voice echoed dual-toned, hollow of human emotion yet laden with the arrogance of an ancient traitor. "A mere lower-threshold brat in tattered cloth. What a pathetic lineage decline for the great name of Zhan Tianshu."Lin Feng stood upright, letting his

BUZZZT! BUZZZT!The vortex of law characters on the three-meter-tall ancient stone stele at the altar's center swirled with increasing ferocity, emitting a deafening mechanical hum. Blood-red light lines burst from the stone's cracks, projecting arrays of ancient numerical matrices that continuously shifted randomly in the open air.Lin Feng stepped forward, placing his tall body precisely one inch before that churning stele. Lin Feng read the numerical code lines on the ancient stone stele with absolute logical precision. Behind his torn, worn black hood, his pair of pupil-less silver eyes flashed sharply, recording every linear fraction shift of Zhan Tianshu's Original energy code, now experiencing system malfunction due to the golden spines' intervention."Its circulation axis is experiencing a ninety-eight percent acceleration of conventional time," Lin Feng murmured slowly. His voice was clear and flat, stabilizing the panic atmosphere beginning to creep into the Central Valley.
