The great Xialan City was where Lin Feng was raised, and it consisted of various other sects, acting under a single ruler.

The Prime Ruler of Xialan City was a prodigy from the Feng Sect, named Jian Feng. He had reached the peak stage of the Dao Soul Realm.

If he spent more time in seclusion than in ruling the city, people estimated that he would hit the Dao Unity Realm in a few millennia.

“Would hosting the Xialan Battle Royale be a good choice at this time?” Jian Feng asked the man beside him.

This man was the second elder of the Feng Sect, Gu Feng.

“We have no choice. That scum, Lin Feng, has ruined the sect's reputation. We barely have more than ten youths applying to join our sects. In fifty years, the sect would be wiped out at this rate.” 

Jian Feng appeared in deep thoughts. “Wasn't he the young man that raped Yun Feng?”

“Yes, that bastard. I'm grateful that Xiao Chen still chooses to wed Yun Feng after the incident.” Gu Feng let out a sigh of relief. Love these days was truly strong.

“How would hosting the battle royale increase the sect's reputation?” Jian Feng asked.

Gu Feng felt like cursing the man in front of him.

If not for his strength and support of the Feng Sect elders, he wouldn't have been the Prime Ruler.

“We have a few prodigies that will participate.” Gu Feng said.

“I see, if they can take the cup and remain the tenth times winning champions, the youths would want to get trained by their sect.” Jian Feng nodded his head, it was a smart plan.

“Exactly.”

“Okay then, let's go ahead. The winner would have a week access to the Xialan’s spirit zone. This would also raise the standard for the youth.”

Gu Feng nodded in approval, “I'd inform the announcement to begin.”

And just like, two weeks after the Graduation incident, news filled Xialan City, generating a competitive spirit amongst the youth.

“I can't believe we have another chance!”

“Yeah, I also heard there's a week's access to the most dao-densed place in all the city!”

“You mean? The Xialan Zone? If I stay there for just one day, my strength would multiply ten times.”

“We have to win it!” 

All the youths were pumped up!

Miles away in another city, Lin Feng opened his eyes.

“Finally I have reached the peak of Initial Vein Formation.”

Xian yawned, “Yeah! With my help. Learn to be a grateful peasant. Also I'm bored. When are we killing people?” 

Lin Feng ignored the salamander, and drove his senses into his Dao Core.

There was a long, thick and dark vein protruding out of his core.

He had spent more than one week in seclusion trying to perfect it.

“Thank you, Xian Xian.” Lin Feng genuinely was grateful.

“That's Great Xian Xian to you!” Xian held his head proudly.

Ignoring him, Lin Feng rose to his feet. He dug his spiritual senses into William's spatial ring.

“That's all we have left. One 5 star cultivation manual, and some dao ores.”

“We still have Dao ores?” Xian crawled on to Lin Feng's lap.

The lizard had actually grown slightly big, and was now bigger than Lin Feng's palm.

Lin Feng scratched Xian's head, “You eat too much. They are earth tiers, I don't think it'd be enough for you.”

Xian was busy enjoying the scratching when he snapped out of the moment, “Don't ever do that again. And feed me the ores still.”

Hearing his sassy lizard's reply, Lin Feng chuckled and gave the ore to it.

“Also Xian Xian, do you know anything about this manual?” Lin Feng asked.

Xian looked at the manual, and then nodded.

“Why is everything in this era watered down? That's a weak version of the Primordial Behemoth Punch.”

Lin Feng widened his eyes, and took another glance at the manual.

This was a 5 star cultivation martial art, and this was watered down?

It made him think of how strong things were in the Primordial Era.

“If you recognise it, can you teach me?” Lin Feng asked Xian.

The lizard raised his head, and then bobbed it.

“You surprised me by perfecting Origin Slash, this would be a good addition to your skills too.” Xian smiled.

Lin Feng smiled back, then he went outside the house.

This was merely a rented place they had found in Sky Court City.

The city has taken them a week to locate and he was glad no one recognised him here.

It was easier to live his life in peace.

Sky Court City was three of Xialan City combined and it was the heart of business, every one from various places were welcomed to the city.

But an annoying thing was that he was constantly broke.

Lin Feng wanted to walk back into the house, when something flew at him.

Due to his quick reflex from practicing the Origin Slash, he caught it.

“Weekly News!” The news handler said, before zooming off on his flying summon.

Lin Feng nodded and opened the magazine.

“Interesting.” A smile appeared on his face.

“Xian, I have a new adventure for us.”

Xian raised his head, “Are we killing people?” 

Lin Feng frowned, “Stop being so blood thirsty. And I don't plan to kill anyone. In fact, no one would know it's me.”

Xian instantly got curious. “What are you planning? It would get us more ores right?”

“Even better! We are going back to Xialan City!” Lin Feng grinned.

Xian's face instantly darkened, “I'm not wasting another week, walking back there.”

“I was moving while you were mostly sleeping.” Lin Feng rolled his eyes.

“Also don't worry, there's also another way to get money.” Lin Feng said, pointing to the lower part of the magazine.

Xian squinted his eyes to look at it, and grew solemn.

He was about to complain when Lin Feng moved his finger.

“Look at the price. That's a lot of Dao ores and I'm sure you'd like that.” 

A crooked grin appeared on Xian's face.

“I'd burn my opponent to the ground!”

His body no longer convulsed and his screams had faded into silence, but the power that now coursed through him was undeniable.Leona knelt beside him, her hand hovering over his chest. She could feel the energy radiating from him, cold and ancient and intense. The darkness had settled, but it had not disappeared. It was part of him now, woven into the very fabric of his being.She hesitated to touch him, unsure if her presence would disrupt whatever process was still unfolding within him."Is he alright?" Leona asked, her voice low and controlled.Shin stepped closer, his lightning-flecked fur crackling softly. "He is more than alright. He has absorbed the souls of the fallen. Their power is now part of him."Xian's scales bristled. "That sounds like something a demon would do."Shin gla

    The battlefield fell silent as the two figures faced each other. The mist swirled around them, thick and grey, but neither man movedhe chaos of the larger battle faded into the background, the cries of the wounded and the clash of weapons becoming nothing more than distant echoes.Lin Feng fell back with his feet planted, his body radiating with the power of his newly transformed form. His eyes were fixed on Mo Juan, cold and calculating, his fists clenched at his sides. Beside him, the shadows coiled and writhed, responding to his will like loyal servants.Mo Juan straightened slowly, wiping the blood from his face with the back of his hand. His eyes burned with a mixture of fury and disbelief, his body trembling with barely contained rage at the sheer monstrosity of the man before him.He had not expected to find Lin Feng at Dao Body realm. And he definitely had not expected to face a Shadow Lord who could match his power."Those two assholes played me. They didn't tell me he has g

    Lin Feng focused his attention on the Purple Hearts Sect, his eyes scanning the battlefield for any sign of Yun Feng or Xiao Chen. He tore through their ranks with brutal efficiency, his movements powered by the strength of his newly transformed body. Each strike from his bare hands sent disciples flying, their weapons shattering against his skin like glass."Heart shattering crimson formation!" Disciples of the purple heart sect screamed, forming a strange formation around him, but he was less bothered, confident in the strength his body contained. Plus he hadn't played all his card yet.Dark energy exploded from his body, swallowing the Purple Hearts disciples in a wave of shadow. They screamed as the darkness consumed them, their bodies writhing in agony as the shadow energy tore through their meridians.Their cultivation bases shattered, their power drained and their bodies broken.His first target was the formation of senior disciples that had been gathered to counter him.

    Lin Feng stood at the gates of the Shadow Covenant settlement, his gaze fixed on the distant figures of the enemy camps. The mist swirled around him, thick and grey, but his eyes pierced through it with unnatural clarity. Beside him stood Shin, Xian and Leona, their bodies tense and their energy radiating with anticipation.After Shin had decided that it was best they fought with their individual strength to test their limits, Leona had offered to come along. According to her, she could not think of a better opportunity to test out her Crystal art cultivation technique.The Shadow Covenant disciples watched in disbelief. They had gathered at the walls, their faces a mixture of shock and concern as they watched their Shadow Lord prepare to walk into what they believed was certain death."They are insane," one disciple murmured. "Just four of them against the combined forces of three major sects? They will not last an hour."Another shook his head. "They will be dead before they even

    Lin Feng met up with Su Yan, with Leona, Shin and Xian by his side. Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the cat, wondering when Lin Feng had suddenly acquired such a creature, but before she could ask any questions about the cat, Lin Feng cleared his throat, grabbing her attention."Shadow Lord," she bowed her head in respect, and so did the others beside her. Lin Feng frowned, watching her, wondering if he would ever get used to this."I heard a little of what is going on from Leona, but I thought I should meet you and hear the full situation of things from you."Su Yan nodded, leading him to settle down in a quiet place. "I do not know if Leona told you this, but we have confirmed the powerhouse helping the Purple Hearts Clan, the Holy Land Sect and the Celestial Sword Sect to be the Xiao family."Lin Feng's eyes darkened on hearing this, recalling Xiao Chen from back at the academy. Of course it has to be him. With Yun Feng involved it's impossible for Xiao Chen not to get in
