274: Eldar

Lin Feng then slowly turned around, extended his hand, and with an aerial grab, pulled the Leopard Scale Beast from mid-air.

An irresistible force appeared out of thin air, violently pulling the Leopard Scale Beast over and heavily slamming it at his feet.

“Woo…”

The Leopard Scale Beast let out a mournful cry, its bones feeling as if they were about to fall apart. It raised its head in terror, looking at the man before it.

A playful smile hung on that face, and those eyes were as deep as the Universe, clearly not belonging to a Nascent Soul cultivator. The invisible pressure made its Yao Soul tremble.

“Run, why aren’t you running anymore?”

Lin Feng squatted down and poked the Leopard Scale Beast’s head with a finger.

The Leopard Scale Beast shivered in fright, its limbs went limp, and it lay paralyzed on the ground, not even daring to move.

Lin Feng found its panicked state somewhat amusing.

His gaze swept over the Leopard Scale Beast, finally pausing on a certain part of its body.

“Oh? It’s a female.”

He tsk-tsked twice.

This Leopard Scale Beast contained a trace of a thin True Spirit Bloodline. If properly nurtured, its potential was not small, but unfortunately, it would only be able to transform into a Human Race form upon reaching the Soul Transformation Stage.

What a pity.

A hint of regret flashed through Lin Feng’s mind, and he waved his hand.

The Leopard Scale Beast felt a blur before its eyes, and the next moment, it appeared in a Spirit Beast Garden within an Inner Universe.

The Spiritual Qi here was so dense it was almost tangible. Not far away, a giant ape engulfed in golden flames was lazily yawning. On the other side, an ice Dragon, hundreds of feet long, was coiled in a lake, its cold vertical pupils sweeping a glance over it.

That glance almost froze the Leopard Scale Beast’s Yao Soul.

It instantly understood what a terrifying “menagerie” it had been thrown into.

Lin Feng casually dealt with this minor interlude, and his Divine Sense once again spread out like a tide. This time, he probed deeper and wider.

Soon, his eyebrows slightly raised.

In the deeper parts of the tomb, he sensed several very strange auras.

These auras were neither Human Race nor Yao Race, carrying an ancient yet pure elemental flavor, filled with an arrogant condescension, as if all beings in this world were mere ants in their eyes.

“Spirit Race?”

Lin Feng’s eyes instantly lit up.

This was truly an unexpected surprise. He had thought these guys would only show up when the Divine Blood appeared, but he hadn’t expected to run into them now.

Thoughts rapidly spun in his mind, and a plan instantly took shape.

He did not retract his Divine Sense. Instead, he deliberately pretended not to have discovered the other party, continuing to maintain his Mid-Nascent Soul Stage aura. He even intentionally made his aura seem a bit chaotic, like a treasure-hunting Cultivator who had gotten lost in a tomb and was both startled and afraid.

He took steps, unhurriedly, walking towards the direction of the four auras… In a spacious underground stone hall.

Four figures were sitting cross-legged.

Their appearance was no different from the Human Race, but at the center of their brows, each had a unique flame mark, and the auras they emitted were all at the Soul Transformation level.

The young man leading them was dressed in a magnificent golden robe, with a handsome face and an arrogant expression. The mark on his brow resembled a small sun.

He was Xu Tian, the leader of this Spirit Race squad.

“Lord Xu Tian, this Human Race tomb is truly smelly and dirty. Will the Divine Blood really appear here?” a voluptuous woman with a captivating face complained, frowning.

“Be patient, Huan Ji.” Xu Tian didn’t even open his eyes, his voice indifferent. “This is the result deduced by the clan’s sacred object; there will be no mistake.”

Just then, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze directed towards the entrance of the stone hall.

“A little bug is coming.”

The other three immediately sensed it too.

A burly man with a violent aura grinned, revealing a mouthful of stark white teeth, his eyes full of cruelty.

“A Human Race Nascent Soul? I’m a bit hungry.”

“Shi Yan.” Xu Tian said indifferently, “There’s a Human Race ahead, go and devour him.”

His tone was as if he were instructing a subordinate to deal with a cockroach that had wandered into the house.

“Yes, Lord Xu Tian!”

The violent man named Shi Yan immediately stood up excitedly, a bloodthirsty sneer on his face.

His figure flickered, and he instantly transformed into a ferocious Fire Dragon, tens of feet long, entirely composed of crimson flames. With rolling heat waves， Shooting out of the stone hall. He shot out of the stone hall, carrying rolling heat waves.

In his opinion, devouring a Human Race Nascent Soul cultivator wasn’t even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth; it was merely for amusement.

The Fire Dragon rapidly moved through the dark tomb passage, and soon, it locked onto the Human Race Cultivator who was “fleeing in panic.”

Shi Yan’s heart was filled with mockery.

He could feel the other party’s panic upon sensing his aura, even beginning to accelerate his escape.

What a pathetic low-level creature.

He suddenly accelerated, his huge Dragon’s head breaking through the rock wall, and with a flick of his tail, he blocked Lin Feng’s path.

“You little Human Race bug, seeing this great master, you still want to run?”

The Fire Dragon spoke human words, its huge pupils filled with a cruel smile, like a cat toying with a mouse.

It opened its massive maw, large enough to swallow a small mountain, and pounced fiercely at the tiny figure before it.

He could already imagine the scene where the other party would be instantly incinerated into ashes by his True Fire, unable to even let out a scream.

However, the next moment.

He saw the Human Race Cultivator raise his head.

On that face, there was no fear or despair he had anticipated.

Instead, there was a strong hint of sarcasm and pity.

Shi Yan’s heart suddenly thumped, and a fatal sense of crisis erupted.

Not good!

As this thought just arose, he felt as if an invisible, venom-tipped ice needle had fiercely pierced into his Divine Soul Sea of Consciousness.

“Ah—!”

A scream so shrill it seemed impossible for a living creature to emit, exploded deep within Shi Yan’s Soul.

His consciousness was instantly swallowed by boundless agony and darkness. The massive Fire Dragon’s body stiffened abruptly in mid-air, its flames instantly dimming, like a kite with a broken string, it plummeted straight towards the ground.

Lin Feng reached out and lightly caught the massive Dragon’s head before it hit the ground.

He looked at the unconscious Fire Dragon before him, a satisfied smile on his face.

【Soul Devouring and Form Stealing】!

A bizarre, ink-black energy instantly surged from Lin Feng’s palm, wrapping around the entire Fire Dragon’s body like a living thing.

Shi Yan’s massive body shriveled at a visible rate.

His thousands of years of cultivation of magical power, his comprehension of the Fire Law, all the memories in his mind, his unique Origin of life as a Spirit Race member… everything, at this moment, transformed into the purest nourishment, frantically surging into Lin Feng’s body.

In just one second.

Lin Feng had digested this complex memory.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He reached into the now-ashy husk and pulled out a fist-sized ball of golden flame, emitting a supreme pure Yang aura.

Solar Essence Fire.

“Good stuff.”

Lin Feng flicked his finger, sending the ball of Solar Essence Fire towards his glabella.

His Asura Holy Fire, which had long since fused with his Soul, instantly surged, transforming into a purple maw that swallowed the golden flame in one gulp.

Boom!

The deep purplish-black flames violently churned, as if countless stars were being born and extinguished within. The wisps of Qianlan Ice Flame and Solar Essence Fire power fiercely collided and fused within it.

Finally, an almost imperceptible spark of spirituality quietly emerged at the core of the flame.

At the same time, Lin Feng’s body emitted a series of crackling sounds.

His appearance, physique, aura, and even his glabella rapidly changed, and in an instant, he became identical to the previous Shi Yan. Even the violent and arrogant demeanor belonging to the Spirit Race was mimicked perfectly.

The entire process took only a few breaths.

“Done.”

Lin Feng, or rather “Shi Yan,” stretched his new body, grinning with a cruel yet simple-minded expression.

He turned around and swaggered towards the stone hall.

When he returned to the stone hall, the enchanting woman, Huan Ji, was asking with some impatience.

“Shi Yan, why did you take so long? Does it take this much time to kill a bug?”

“Hehe.” “Shi Yan” scratched his head and replied in a booming voice.

“That kid was a bit slippery, had to chase him a bit longer.”

“What a waste.” Huan Ji curled her lip in disdain.

Xu Tian, the leader, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning, sweeping over “Shi Yan.”

“Dealt with it cleanly?”

“Lord Xu Tian, rest assured!” “Shi Yan” thumped his chest, saying with an air of seeking praise, “Not even a single hair was left; he was burned directly to ashes!”

Only then did Xu Tian nod in satisfaction and close his eyes again.

“Everyone quiet down, continue to wait.”

Inside the stone hall, peace was restored once more.
