Chapter 978 – Repulsion
In just two days’ time, the Eye of Death was already 50% compatible with him. This speed surpassed what Zhao Feng had imagined.
Hu~
Zhao Feng’s figure disappeared from the metallic room and entered the Little World of the Misty Spatial World.
Weng~~
A ripple of water appeared in front of Zhao Feng’s eyes, and the black Eye of Death floated out.
“Unfortunately, I don’t specialize in the laws of Death….” Zhao Feng sighed.
The Eye of Death was, without a doubt, a powerful inheritance of the Eight Great God Eyes. It countered all living beings, including souls. In particular, Soul-based eye-bloodline techniques would become extremely powerful when used through the Eyes of Death.
However, the prerequisite was that the holder had to reach a certain amount of understanding in the laws of Death.
Zhao Feng had merged with God Tribulation Lightning, so he knew a little about the laws of Destruction, so the Eye of Destruction was more suitable for Zhao Feng.
However, Zhao Feng wasn’t willing to just throw away this Eye of Death.
“I should merge it into my right eye.”
Zhao Feng came to a conclusion. His left eye already had the God’s Spiritual Eye, and he had no idea what would happen if he merged the Eye of Death with his left eye.
Zhao Feng would rather destroy the Eye of Death and return it to the Emperor of Death than risk an accident happening to his God Eye. After all, it was the God’s Spiritual Eye that had changed his destiny and matured with him.
“Let’s start.”
Zhao Feng’s expression became serious as he released a surge of powerful Soul Intent, covered the Eye of Death, and merged it into his body. He then slowly moved it toward the position of his right eye.
“Merge!”
A wave of soul power appeared and turned into a gray-purple flame, just as the Soul Eye Refining Technique said.
Zhao Feng was going to refine the Eye of Death with his own soul so the two would have properties in common. This would allow him to merge the Eye of Death into his soul.
Once he succeeded, all he needed to do was proceed according to the Soul Eye Refining Technique and refine the Eye of Death over time. The two would completely merge with one another very soon. At that point in time, the Eye of Death would be Zhao Feng’s.
Weng~ Weng~
The Eye of Death appeared at the position of Zhao Feng’s right eye, and a gray-purple flame burned at the same place as well. The flames burned across his soul, causing him to feel as if he had entered a sea of hellfire. The searing pain travelled from the position of his right eye to his entire body.
Zhao Feng’s body shook and sweat poured over his body, but he gritted his teeth and held on. Slowly but steadily, the right eye in Zhao Feng’s soul was pushed back.
At the same time, he realized that the color around the Eye of Death started to change. Wisps of dark purple light could be seen. According to the Soul Eye Refining Technique, this usually needed at least three days to happen, but it appeared after just four hours of refining the Eye of Death.
“This seems pretty easy.”
Zhao Feng was happy. From the looks of it, he was destined to be one with powerful bloodlines.
This process also reduced the duration of the pain he was feeling in his soul.
At this instant, the color around the Eye of Death was already extremely close to the color of Zhao Feng’s own soul.
“Good.”
Zhao Feng started to circulate his technique and directed his soul to merge with the Eye of Death.
Peng! Peng!
Zhao Feng’s left eye suddenly started to twitch, and part of its sleeping power was awakened.
Boom!
The God’s Spiritual Eye released a forceful aura that looked down on the universe, and this powerful surge of aura circulated once around Zhao Feng’s soul.
When this aura touched the Eye of Death, which was currently merging with him, Zhao Feng’s entire soul started to shake, and it released a wave of ancient aura that repelled everything not belonging to Zhao Feng.
“What? The God’s Spiritual Eye is repelling the Eye of Death?”
Zhao Feng’s heart jumped as sweat poured down from him like rain.
The God’s Spiritual Eye had done the unexpected at the critical moment. The God’s Spiritual Eye gave Zhao Feng a feeling that it was marking its territory by repelling the soul eye that was trying to merge with him.
Weng~ Weng~
The Eye of Death that was merging with Zhao Feng suddenly started to tremble when it felt this wave of desolate aura, and it tried to struggle out of Zhao Feng’s soul.
“No… maybe it’s because the God’s Spiritual Eye thinks that the Eye of Death is too low-levelled?”
Zhao Feng inspected the feeling. After sensing the existence of Zhao Feng’s left eye, the Eye of Death trembled and tried to escape from Zhao Feng’s soul. It was as if it didn’t dare to exist within the same soul as the God’s Spiritual Eye.
However, this incident showed that Zhao Feng’s God’s Spiritual Eye did indeed have the potential to be the Ninth God’s Eye, otherwise why would the descendant of one of the Eight Great God Eyes bow down to the God’s Spiritual Eye? It would have fought back instead.
“Not good, an accident is happening to the Eye of Death.”
While Zhao Feng was thinking, the Eye of Death started to become chaotic, and it radiated an uneasy aura.
“Absorb!”
Zhao Feng’s left eye locked onto the Eye of Death and put it into the dimension of his left eye.
Hu~
After entering the dimension of Zhao Feng’s left eye, the Eye of Death was completely suppressed. At the same instant, the God’s Spiritual Eye calmed down, and the terrifying desolate aura faded away from Zhao Feng’s soul.
“Hu…. so close….”
Zhao Feng let out a breath.
He had wasted two days’ time to almost destroy the Eye of Death. One had to know that, if the Eye of Death was destroyed, it would return to the Emperor of Death.
“I didn’t expect this would happen.”
Zhao Feng’s eyebrows locked together. This meant that the wealth he had spent in the Divine Techniques Palace had gone to waste.
There was only one level in the Soul Splitting Technique, and he wasn’t sure if he could even cultivate it. Now, the Eye of Death was repelled by the God’s Spiritual Eye and couldn’t merge into Zhao Feng’s soul, which meant that the Soul Eye Refining Technique was useless too.
“I’ll have to put it down for now.”
Zhao Feng couldn’t think of anything he could do right now. He didn’t specialize in the laws of Death anyway, so he wasn’t too frustrated about it.
On the second day, Zhao Feng left the room and headed toward the forge tower. The dark-skinned male handed over the three completed arrows and the Sky Locking Bow to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng took the Sky Locking Bow and could feel a weird structure within it. His Soul Intent could now merge into the Sky Locking Bow better than before, which meant that he could use more of its power.
The three arrows consisted of two dark golden arrows and one bright golden arrow. They each radiated a piercing aura and had similar carvings to the God Slaying Arrow.
“You will need to spend some time to refine this bow with your soul power in order to properly use the soul tracking ability,” the dark-skinned blacksmith smiled and said.
Zhao Feng then returned to the metallic room and started to cultivate.
“Luckily, the Sky Locking Bow has been successfully strengthened, and the arrows have been perfectly crafted.”
Zhao Feng felt a bit better.
He then circulated the Ten Thousand Divine Thoughts Technique and refined the bow with his soul power, while also preparing to break through to the rank of Emperor. The strength of his soul surpassed his cultivation by too much and was actually slowing down his progress, but his foundation was extremely strong.
Zhao Feng then took out some Wind, Lightning, and Fire elemental resources and started to absorb the essence within them.
A day later, an enormous green, blue, and red whirlpool of Wind Lightning appeared above the room that Zhao Feng was staying in.
Weng~ Boom! Boom!
The aura radiating from the whirlpool became more and more chaotic. The Water, Wood, and Fire of Wind Lightning started to spin limitlessly. The thick Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and some ancient aura was sucked into it. Zhao Feng held rare resources in his hand, and countless pure energy with the elements of Wind, Lightning, and Fire entered the True Yuan dimension of Zhao Feng’s body.
“Zhao Feng’s breaking through?” Shi Yulei, who was in the next room, was startled by the scene that Zhao Feng caused. The Ninth Prince and the other members of the team also walked over and sighed in their hearts.
“Such a profound Wind Lightning Technique, and it also seems to contain other elements.” Jing Kai felt extremely pressured.
“The quality and quantity of Zhao Feng’s True Yuan surpasses normal Emperors. Breaking through should be extremely easy.” Old Ying could sense how strong Zhao Feng’s foundation was.
“Not good! This is the last day of the second stage.” Old Ying suddenly realized something.
“There’s someone coming!” A light flashed through Su Qingling’s eyes as she spoke.
“Go to the city wall!” Old Ying roared as his expression turned ugly.
Zhao Feng breaking through had come at exactly the wrong time.
The Seventh Prince’s team and the other three princes knew that Zhao Feng was the main supporter of the Ninth Prince’s team. They could obviously feel the power of Zhao Feng breaking through.
Zhao Feng’s beast horde was still on the city walls, but without a beast tamer personally controlling them, their battle-power would be reduced by almost 40%. Furthermore, Zhao Feng’s Sky Shaking Golden Apes were still being strengthened in the Ten Thousand Blood Palace and couldn’t participate in the battle at all.
“Zhao Feng… what do we do?” Complex emotions flashed through Su Qingling’s eyes.
“Don’t worry about him. Shen Jizi, control the array with all your power!” Old Ying had a decisive expression as he looked outside the city.
A wave of beasts was slowly approaching. Behind them was close to thirty experts.
“Quickly, come! Grandmaster Zhang, direct your beasts,” the Fifth Prince urged.
“Zhao Feng’s breaking through right now and won’t finish in such a short amount of time. We just need to finish off the other members. The second we take over this Heaven’s Legacy City, victory is ours!” The Twelfth Prince was overjoyed.
“This is the last day in the second stage. Use our time wisely!” The Second Prince roared as light flashed through his eyes.
The combined forces of the three princes were the attackers.
The last day of attacking the cities was usually the fiercest. As long as a prince imprinted their pseudo Crown Prince Seal down in the slot, the Heaven’s Legacy City would be automatically closed for a day. Since the next day would be the end of the second stage, they wouldn’t need to worry about anyone else attacking them.
