380: Breakthrough (II)

Thus, the seven Yao Beasts simultaneously launched even fiercer attacks, cooperating with each other, their offensive growing increasingly sharp. Lin Feng's figure was like the wind, constantly dodging the Yao Beasts' attacks while searching for opportunities to counterattack.

The seven Yao Beasts' offensive seemed ferocious, but they were no match for Lin Feng. He leaped abruptly, his figure arcing gracefully through the air, and the Starfall Illusion Sword transformed into a streak of light, stabbing towards one of the seven Yao Beasts.

That Yao Beast couldn't dodge in time and was pierced through the chest by the Starfall Illusion Sword, letting out a mournful cry before collapsing to the ground. The other six Yao Beasts, seeing this, a flicker of panic in their eyes, their offensive becoming chaotic.

Lin Feng seized the opportunity to counterattack, a flurry of sword shadows raining down like a torrential storm, cutting the six Yao Beasts into pieces.

After the battle, Lin Feng put away the Starfall Illusion Sword and looked at the ground covered with Yao Beast corpses. This was only the third layer's trial, much simpler than before.

But after this battle, Lin Feng had a clearer understanding of his own strength. It would be difficult for him to find an opponent in the Void Refining Realm, even though he was only at the Peak of the Refining Void Stage - Mid Phase.

Lin Feng passed the third layer's trial and continued towards the fourth layer. The trial on this layer was said to require a dual test of wisdom and courage. Lin Feng pondered to himself, he had successfully passed the first three layers' trials, and he would surely pass this layer smoothly as well.

When he arrived at the entrance of the fourth layer, he saw a forest shrouded in mist. Lin Feng cautiously walked into the forest, and the surrounding scenery became blurred, as if he were in a mysterious world.

He tried to use his spiritual Qi to perceive his surroundings, but he found that the spiritual Qi fluctuations here were abnormally chaotic, making it impossible to accurately judge the situation.

Lin Feng knew that some kind of trial was hidden here. He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and continued forward.

In this misty forest, Lin Feng encountered various strange sights and difficulties. Sometimes, he would suddenly fall into a seemingly endless maze, needing to find the correct exit; other times, he would encounter seemingly harmless creatures, but once he got close, they would suddenly attack.

But relying on his extraordinary wisdom and courage, Lin Feng successfully resolved crisis after crisis. He constantly observed, thought, and experimented, finally finding a way to pass through this misty forest.

When he walked out of the misty forest, he saw a shimmering teleportation array ahead. Lin Feng knew that this was the passage to the next layer.

He stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation, and with a flash of light, his figure disappeared from the spot.

When Lin Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely new space. It was filled with a mysterious aura, as if an unknown power permeated even the air.

Lin Feng looked around and saw that it was a desolate desert, filled with various dangerous traps and fierce Yao Beasts.

He knew this was where the fourth layer's trial lay.

Thus, he once again mustered his courage and embarked on the journey to conquer this desert.

He couldn't use his magical power or fly here. Fortunately, Lin Feng's Body Refining cultivation was not weak. Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Lin Feng couldn't distinguish directions and could only press on against the wind and sand.

He moved with difficulty. The scorching sun in the desert baked his body, but his eyes were exceptionally firm. He constantly observed his surroundings, searching for possible clues and exits.

Finally, after several days of trekking, Lin Feng discovered an ancient ruin hidden deep within the desert. The ruin looked ancient, but it still exuded a mysterious aura.

Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he quickly walked towards the ruin. He cautiously passed through traps and Yao Beast territories, finally arriving at the entrance of the ruin. There was a huge stone gate, engraved with mysterious runes and patterns.

Lin Feng carefully examined the stone gate, hoping to find a way to open it. Just then, he suddenly felt a familiar aura emanating from the stone gate. His heart jumped, and he quickly circulated his spiritual Qi, resonating with this aura.

The runes on the stone gate began to flicker, emitting a faint light. Immediately after, the stone gate opened with a rumble, revealing a passage leading to the interior of the ruin.

Lin Feng stepped into the passage without hesitation, and the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly.

Lin Feng transformed into a young boy from a mountain village. He had no cultivation or powerful Body Refining. His village was attacked by a pack of wild wolves. Lin Feng looked at the familiar yet strange surroundings, a strange emotion welling up in his heart. He remembered this was the mountain village where he had lived as a child, but he never expected to "return" here under such circumstances.

The wild wolves' eyes glinted with a cruel light, constantly closing in on the village. The villagers fled in terror, but the wolves were extremely fast, and soon many villagers were tackled to the ground by them.

Although Lin Feng currently had no cultivation or Body Refining, he possessed rich combat experience and wisdom. He quickly observed his surroundings, searching for usable weapons and tools.

Just then, he saw a pile of firewood and several sharp wooden sticks not far away. Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he quickly ran over, picked up the wooden sticks, then lit the firewood to create a simple torch.

He held the torch and bravely charged towards the pack of wild wolves. The wild wolves were deterred by the light and heat of the torch and retreated one after another. Lin Feng seized the opportunity to swing the torch, repelling the approaching wild wolves one by one.

However, the number of wild wolves was simply too great, and Lin Feng's torch was quickly burning out. Just then, he suddenly thought of a solution. He quickly threw the torch towards a group of wild wolves, then took the opportunity to hide in a dilapidated thatched hut.

The pack of wolves, seeing the torch, retreated in fear. Lin Feng rummaged through the thatched hut for any Sharp Weapon that could deal with this pack of wolves. Finally, he found a rusty sickle in the corner of the hut. Lin Feng picked up the sickle, secretly praying that this sickle would help him through this crisis.

He cautiously walked out of the thatched hut, only to see the pack of wild wolves still lingering outside, not daring to approach easily. Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he decided to take advantage of the wolves' fear and launch an attack.

He suddenly rushed out of the thatched hut, brandishing the sickle, and charged towards the pack of wild wolves. The wild wolves were startled by Lin Feng's sudden attack and retreated one after another. Lin Feng seized the opportunity to launch a fierce offensive, the sickle cutting through the air with flashes of cold light, slaying the wild wolves one by one.

After an intense battle, Lin Feng finally completely repelled the pack of wild wolves. He looked at the ground covered with wild wolf corpses, a sense of triumphant exhilaration welling up in his heart.
