244: Accept your fate

She finally took a deep look at Lin Feng.

This man, who could render her helpless even in the Nascent Soul Stage, had indeed completely changed her impression of Human Race Cultivators, but that was all.

Her proud speed and space Divine Ability were still her unique reliance for survival in the Human Realm.

"I will remember today's humiliation!"

Ice Phoenix left a cold, ruthless remark and no longer hesitated, her demonic power erupting without reservation, her figure instantly transforming into an almost invisible azure light, completely merging into the Void Realm.

This time, she gave it her all.

In one breath, she fled tens of thousands of miles away.

When she emerged from the spatial rift again, stepping onto the peak of a strange, lush mountain range, she was already on the verge of collapsing, her pale, pretty face covered in sweat, her breathing rapid, and her chest heaving erratically.

She looked back, her Divine Sense sweeping across the area behind her like a tidal wave, finding nothing but emptiness, no longer the figure that had made her heart palpitate.

Ice Phoenix's taut heartstrings finally relaxed, and a sense of relief at having escaped a disaster surged within her; she even wanted to laugh out loud.

Finally... she had shaken off that strange Human Race Cultivator.

She was just about to determine her direction and find a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion, planning to seek revenge after breaking through to Soul Transformation.

But at this moment, a gentle voice with a hint of laziness, like a ghost, leisurely sounded not far behind her.

"Daoist Friend Bing Feng, how much longer do you plan to run? Your demonic power should be almost exhausted, right?"

This voice was like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, exploding in Ice Phoenix's mind.

Her body instantly stiffened, and her blood seemed to freeze at that moment.

She turned around, inch by inch, in disbelief.

Lin Feng, in his green robe, stood behind her at some unknown point, his expression indifferent, looking at her with the gaze one might use for a mischievous child.

"No... impossible!"

Ice Phoenix's scream tore through the tranquility of the mountaintop. She retreated two steps in horror, pointing at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with madness and incomprehension, "You are still in the Nascent Soul Stage! How could you possibly catch up to me! You must have used some crooked, Evil Path method! I refuse to accept this!"

Lin Feng looked at her almost collapsed state and finally lost interest in continuing the game.

He shook his head, too lazy to give her any more chances to speak, and with a flicker of his figure, he appeared directly in front of Ice Phoenix.

Before Ice Phoenix's murderous gaze could fully form, she felt a tightening around her waist. A strong, powerful hand had already encircled her delicate, slender waist, holding her firmly in his embrace.

She struggled fiercely, but his arm was incredibly solid, making her unable to move.

"Let go of me!"

Lin Feng ignored her angry rebuke, merely chuckled softly near her ear, and with his other hand, casually sliced at the Void Realm in front of him.

Rip!

Space, like fragile cloth, was easily torn open, revealing a pitch-black rift filled with chaotic and violent spatial turbulence.

He embraced the soft yet stiff body in his arms and stepped into it.

When the two emerged from the spatial rift again, they were already above a calm sea surface several thousand miles away.

Lin Feng still maintained his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation. He released his hand from Ice Phoenix's waist and instead gently lifted her smooth chin, forcing her dazed, ice-blue Phoenix eyes to look at him.

"Daoist Friend Bing Feng, now, do you understand why I could catch up to you?"

Ice Phoenix's gaze was somewhat blank.

She had seen it, of course.

This Human Race Cultivator, with his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, could actually... tear space!

How was this possible? This was an innate Divine Ability of true spirit Bloodline, her greatest reliance for standing at the pinnacle of the Human Realm!

She didn't know that this was not a Bloodline Divine Ability for Lin Feng, but rather that he had comprehended the Law of space in his Inner Universe for decades, elevating the ordinary teleportation Divine Ability to an inconceivable Realm, capable of moving hundreds of miles in a single shift. In terms of his application of the Law of space, he had long surpassed her, an Ice Phoenix who acted purely on instinct.

All of this completely shattered the last shred of pride in her heart.

She looked at Lin Feng blankly, at his handsome face so close to hers. Thousands of years of cultivation knowledge collapsed at this moment, and she fell into deep self-doubt.

Lin Feng looked at her dispirited appearance, found it somewhat amusing, and asked again, "Daoist Friend Bing Feng, are you convinced now?"

Ice Phoenix's eyes were vacant. She first unconsciously shook her head, then, as if resigned to fate, gently nodded. Her appearance suggested that her Dao Heart had been completely shattered, and she no longer had any desire to compete.

Seeing that the time was right, Lin Feng no longer delayed. With a thought, he embraced her and directly left the Inner Universe.

Light and shadow shifted, and the two appeared inside the Immortal Cave's quiet room on Falling Cloud Sect's Taibai Peak.

Lin Feng gently laid the Ice Phoenix, who was as limp as mud in his arms, onto his wide bed.

Her already torn palace dress, after repeated struggles, was now even more revealing. As she lay flat, large expanses of snowy, smooth skin and graceful, undulating curves were exposed without any covering, a sudden burst of spring scenery.

But Ice Phoenix was oblivious at this moment. She just stared blankly at the stone wall above her head, her mind filled with the scene of Lin Feng tearing space, feeling immense confusion about her thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

Lin Feng, however, didn't care what she was thinking. Spiritual light flickered on his fingertips, and a profound and complex golden rune slowly formed, directly imprinting itself on Ice Phoenix's glabella.

Spirit Beast Contract.

After doing all this, Lin Feng leisurely observed the stunning beauty on the bed.

He frowned slightly, looking at the red marks on her body caused by the wind and sand, and her languid aura. He flipped his hand and took out two crystal-clear jade bottles.

He tilted the bottles, and a drop of thick, milky liquid and a drop of liquid radiating the clear brilliance of moonlight, successively dripped into Ice Phoenix's slightly parted lips, then he set them aside.

Ice Phoenix's mind was originally muddled, allowing Lin Feng to do as he pleased.

But the moment those two drops of liquid entered her throat, an indescribably pure life force and a gentle Divine Soul power instantly bloomed within her body.

Her beautiful eyes suddenly trembled, her chaotic thoughts instantly cleared, and her dazed pupils refocused.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Lin Feng, her voice carrying a hint of hoarseness and disbelief: "You... what did you just give me to drink?"

Lin Feng saw that she had finally regained some vitality, smiled slightly, and said frankly, "Those are Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk and Imperial Dew. Has Daoist Friend Bing Feng heard of them?"

Ice Phoenix's eyes were instantly filled with deep shock.

She could naturally feel that Lin Feng was imposing a Spirit Beast Contract on her, and her heart had already turned to ashes. But the other party would actually, at such a time, casually take out such rare treasures of heaven and earth, which only existed in legends, to heal her?

This made her completely unable to understand.

Lin Feng looked at her shocked expression, slowly sat on the edge of the bed, and said in a calm tone, "Since Daoist Friend Bing Feng has mostly recovered, I shall begin. Let me state beforehand, I already have the confidence to sneak into the Spirit Realm. If you wish to go, do not resist, otherwise, if your Divine Soul is damaged, you cannot blame me."
