Chapter 99: Chapter 16: Supporting the Backbone of Heaven and Earth Chapter 99: Chapter 16: Supporting the Backbone of Heaven and Earth Lin Feng, of course, did not know that just shortly after he had left, Bai Xuantian entered the cave in search of the Black Dragon Sword!
And he even got so angry that he coughed up blood.
Had Lin Feng known, he would have certainly clapped his hands in delight.
He now had an undying and unending feud with the Bai Family!
And the Bai Family would certainly not let Lin Feng off easily.
Perhaps before long, Lin Feng might face a direct confrontation with Bai Xuantian.
With the Black Dragon Sword in Lin Fengâs possession, his strength had greatly increased.
...
If it had ended up in Bai Xuantianâs hands, it would have been an absolute disaster for Lin Feng.
Fortunately, none of this had come to pass.
Five days later, Lin Feng and the Fire Kirin finally arrived at Jiaolong Lake.
The vast Jiaolong Lake was boundless!
Around it, everything was eerily silent.
Not even the sound of insects or birds could be heard.
Let alone the sight of a fierce beast.
This place was home to the Jiaolong, a fierce beast, and naturally no other creatures dared to venture here lightly, unless they wished to become the Jiaolongâs dinner.
âHand over the bronze to me,â said the Fire Kirin.
Lin Feng passed the piece of bronze he had obtained in the marketplace to the Fire Kirin.
This bronze seemed to have quite a significant origin.
Lin Feng had never had the time to inquire about it.
At this very moment, as the Fire Kirin mentioned the mysterious bronze, Lin Feng asked, âWhat is this?â
âThis is a fragment of an Ancient Bronze Ancestor Artifact.
As long as one channels strength into it and sacrifices it, it can instantly destroy all defenses,â the Fire Kirin explained.
âThat powerful!â Lin Feng was astonished.
âOf course,â the Fire Kirin replied.
âHowever, this bronze is quite peculiar.
Each time the bronze is sacrificed, it devours all the power from within oneâs body!
Either you must kill the opponent with one blow, or youâll be killed by the opponent!â
âThisâŚ,â
Lin Feng was somewhat at a loss for words.
However, such a heaven-defying treasure seemed to always have some flaws.
And the reason why the mysterious bronze had such a serious flaw was probably due to its incomplete state.
After all!
This piece of mysterious bronze was only part of an Ancient Ancestor Artifact.
âDamn it, just when I had recovered a bit of strength, I have to pour it all in again to fulfill your wish,â grumbled the Fire Kirin resentfully.
Lin Feng said, âHeheâŚ
I will remember your kindness!â
âMake sure you, kid, have some conscience.
Stay away and donât come too close,â the Fire Kirin ordered.
ĆονǤá´.Ć0
Lin Feng nodded!
He retreated twenty li and went up a small mountain peak to watch.
The Fire Kirin swallowed the Spiritual Liquid he had refined earlier!
Suddenly, the Fire Kirinâs body began to rapidly grow larger.
âBoomââŹÂŚâ
A terrifying aura spread out, enveloping heaven and earth.
The Fire Kirinâs body quickly grew to a height of thousands of meters.
With feet on the earth and head touching the sky,
It seemed to hold up the spine of heaven and earth.
The Fire Kirin instantly appeared to transform into the divine power-endowed Fire Kirin that had not been devoured by the Mysterious Demon Pearl.
Powerful!
Like an immortal Divine Spirit!
Even from a considerable distance, Lin Feng could still feel the aura emanating from the Fire Kirin, giving him a sense of soul-shivering awe.
Of course, Lin Feng knew that the Fire Kirin was now all show and no substance!
Its Divine Power had been devoured by the Mysterious Demon Pearl, and its current strength was merely an illusion created by consuming Spiritual Liquid.
The Fire Kirin merely had a powerful aura.
But its real strength was trash.
âYinâŚâ
A lofty dragonâs chant resounded through Heaven and Earth.
Whirr!
Lakes rumbled with tumultuous waves.
Then, a âgiant dragonâ that was three to four thousand kilometers long flew out.
The giant dragonâs body, winding and coiling in midair, was like an ever-undulating mountain range.
âMy God, how can this Jiaolong be so immense?â Lin Fengâs face showed a shocked expression.
Jiaolong had a long life span, a thousand years of cultivation, and physical bodies no bigger than a hundred meters.
Yet, the one before his eyes spanned more than three thousand meters in length, likely an existence that had cultivated for tens of thousands of years.
This Jiaolong was definitely a being of Dominator Level in the Wilderness World.
Upon seeing this Jiaolong, the Fire Kirinâs mouth twitched violently.
In the past, the Fire Kirin had heard, while in the Central Sacred Heavenly State, about a Jiaolong in the Wilderness Jungle of the East County Divine Land that had obtained Taoist cultivation, with strength even surpassing many of the Dragon Clan.
But the Fire Kirin was somewhat skeptical, thinking at most it was only a Jiaolong that had cultivated for ten thousand years.
Only now, upon seeing it firsthand, did it realize it was wrong.
The strength of this Jiaolong was perhaps not much different from its own during its Peak Period.
âFire Kirin?
Is that youâŚ
Iâve heard about you causing a great disaster in the Central Sacred Heavenly State and being chased by the Ancient Family, so youâve run off to the East County Divine Land.
You come flaunting your power here, and for what purpose?â The Jiaolong looked coldly at the Fire Kirin, showing no hint of fear.
The Fire Kirin, with a stiff upper lip, said, âI need a drop of Jiaolong Treasure Blood!â
âFire Kirin, you are going too farâŚâ The Jiaolongâs expression turned icy in an instant, and the killing intent was chilling in the Void.
The Fire Kirin felt apprehensive, but knew that it could not afford to show any weakness now, or else it would die a terrible death.
The Fire Kirin stubbornly stated, âI need a drop of Jiaolong Treasure Blood.
You wouldnât want to make an unending enemy of a desperate fugitive, would you?â
âFire Kirin, you dare to threaten me?
I am truly not afraid of you.
I have long heard that the Fire Kirin clan controls the Samadhi True Fire, capable of burning Heaven and Earth and refining Divine Spirits.
I have wanted to learn a lesson from you, to see whether your Samadhi True Fire is more potent or if it is my Three Thousand Ruishui River that is stronger.â The Jiaolong roared, extending its right claw toward the Fire Kirin with a swipe.
âThis is the endâŚâ
Seeing this, Lin Fengâs heart sank completely.
The Fire Kirin was now likely not even capable of defeating itself, merely putting on a bravado.
With the Jiaolong taking action, wouldnât it be killed by a single slap of the Jiaolongâs claw?
Whoosh.
In this perilous moment!!
A streak of blue light shot out, dashing towards the Jiaolong, then collided with the Jiaolongâs claw.
Puff!
The Jiaolongâs enormous claw, which was like a mountain, was actually pierced through.
âAh, youâve actually hurt me; what is that?â The Jiaolong cried out in pain, quickly retracting its Jiaolong claw and staring in horror at the mysterious blue light spiraling near the Fire Kirin.
âAncient Ancestor Artifact Fragment, because of this treasure, I have offended many Ancient Families.
Do you still want to fight me?â The Fire Kirin said coldly.
âYouâŚâ The Jiaolong was seething with rage but powerless.
It well knew the terror of the Ancient Ancestor Artifact Fragment.
The Jiaolong forced a drop of Jiaolong Treasure Blood from its injured claw.
The Jiaolong Treasure Blood transformed into a small blood-colored Jiaolong, soaring in midair, emitting a loud dragon chant, embodying the spirited nature of the Jiaolong Treasure Blood.
âLeave my presence at once,â the Jiaolong said bitterly.
âHaha, naturally, I will no longer disturb you.â The Fire Kirin collected the Jiaolong Treasure Blood and quickly left.
Filled with endless rage, the Jiaolong plunged into Jiaolong Lake and disappeared without a trace.
