165: Chapter 165 Every strike is a critical hit, one strike takes down a celestial being!

On the White Jade Square, the atmosphere instantly froze.

Lin Feng, this newly registered "new account," had an unexpected encounter with two "local players."

Walking in

were a man and a woman.

The man was tall with an arrogant expression, wearing a uniform of Azure Immortal Armor. Faint Law Runes flowed upon the armor, showing its extraordinary grade at a glance.

He carried a long sword at his waist. Lin Feng couldn't see through his cultivation, but the faint pressure he emitted made him very uncomfortable.

The woman had a melon-seed face and phoenix eyes, with the corners of her mouth turned down, giving her a somewhat mean look.

"Oh, it really is a live one."

The mean woman, referred to as Senior Sister, looked Lin Feng up and down.

When she saw Lin Feng's clothes, which had long since been shredded into rags by the spatial turbulence and barely covered his body, a flash of undisguised disdain and disgust crossed her eyes.

"Tsk tsk, Mortal Realm Peak."

She curled her lip, as if looking at a toad that had just crawled out of a mud pit.

"Third Senior Brother, look at his Physical Body. It actually didn't break in the turbulence; he's quite a good seedling."

"A good seedling?"

Third Senior Brother sneered. "No matter how good a seedling is, they have to be stripped of a layer of skin first when they get here. A strong Physical Body is just right; send him to the North Mountain Mine. They're short on coolies who can withstand the Astral Winds there."

The two of them spoke unscrupulously, as if Lin Feng were not a person but a piece of cargo.

"Hey, newcomer."

The mean woman beckoned with a finger toward Lin Feng in an overbearing manner.

"Come here. Kneel and answer."

Lin Feng sat by the pool and didn't move.

He just looked at them calmly.

In those cold eyes, the ugly faces of the two were reflected.

"Hmm?"

The tall Third Senior Brother frowned, his voice turning cold.

"A Mortal who has just ascended, why do you not kneel upon seeing an Immortal?"

"Who are you?"

Lin Feng spoke slowly, his voice raspy as if two pieces of rusted iron were rubbing together.

"Who are we?"

Third Senior Brother seemed to have heard a huge joke. He exchanged a glance with the mean woman, and both began to laugh.

"Hahaha! This Mortal probably acted as a local emperor in the Lower Realm for so long he's gone stupid?"

Third Senior Brother suddenly took a step forward, and a pressure belonging to an "Immortal" came crashing down!

Boom!

Lin Feng felt that gravity had become ten times stronger again!

The white jade floor beneath his feet cracked with a snap!

But Lin Feng...

Still sat there.

Motionless.

"Huh?!"

This time, the smile on Third Senior Brother's face completely vanished.

He was a Human Immortal!

First stage of the Human Immortal Realm!

Although he was only the lowest-level "Immortal Soldier" in the Immortal Realm, he was still an "Immortal"!

A being who had transcended the Mortal world!

The "Immortal Awe Deterrence" he just used was enough to make any ascender at the Mortal Realm Peak lose their courage and prostrate themselves!

But this person before him... this blood-covered Mortal who couldn't even wear proper clothes...

Actually held out?

"You have some backbone."

Third Senior Brother sneered. "However, backbone is the least valuable thing in the Immortal Realm."

"Third Senior Brother, stop wasting words with him."

The mean woman waved her hand impatiently.

"This person came out of Pool Grade A; his background is unknown. If he's a spy from the Demonic Path... we won't be able to bear the responsibility."

"I don't care what his background is!"

Third Senior Brother grinned savagely. "In this Ascension Hall, even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up for me!"

"Hurry up, stamp him with the Mine Slave brand and send him to the West Mountain Immortal Mine."

"With him, this batch of ascenders will finally reach the quota of three hundred to be handed over to the manager. Then we can finish our shift early."

"That's true."

Third Senior Brother nodded. From his Storage Pouch, he pulled out a...

Red-hot branding iron.

Purple Immortal Fire burned upon the iron, a flame that seemed to scorch the Soul.

The shape of the brand was a twisted character for "Slave."

"Kid, don't say your Senior Brother didn't warn you."

Third Senior Brother approached step by step with the branding iron, a cruel smile on his face.

"In the Immortal Realm, you must follow the rules of the Immortal Realm."

"You people who ascended from the Lower Realm are all sinners because you... stole the Immortal Spiritual Qi and took up a slot in the Upper Realm."

"Therefore, you must atone for your sins."

"First, honestly serve as cattle and horses for three hundred years. When you've paid off your Ascension Tax, then we can talk about Immortal Ascension."

He raised the branding iron high.

"Now, for me... kneel down!"

The branding iron, carrying a scorching wind, slammed down toward Lin Feng's face!

...

Lin Feng smiled.

He laughed.

He thought of Fugui; he thought of that Yellow Weasel Demon whose life or death was unknown after blocking a blade for him and detonating its Luck.

He thought of Yuheng; he thought of that high-and-mighty Immortal finger that wiped out millions of lives and viewed him as a "creeping insect."

He thought of the Heavenly Demon; he thought of that arrogant and domineering demonic palm that wanted to swallow him alive.

And now.

A damn Immortal soldier at the very bottom of the Immortal Realm, a warehouse guard, a gatekeeper.

Dared to point a branding iron at his face.

And tell him to...

Kneel?

Be a beast of burden?

"Hahaha..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Lin Feng suddenly threw his head back and laughed. In that laughter...

There was endless sorrow, endless rage, and a heaven-shaking killing intent!

"Noisy!!!"

Under Third Senior Brother's stunned gaze!

Lin Feng moved!

He didn't dodge!

He actually met that red-hot branding iron capable of branding the Soul...

And with one hand!

Snatched it!

Sizzle!

The smell of charred meat, accompanied by purple Immortal Fire, instantly exploded in his palm!

"You! You're looking for death!"

Third Senior Brother was furious and was about to circulate his Immortal Essence!

"The one dying is you!"

Lin Feng suddenly clenched his fist!

Crack!

That branding iron made of Purple Gold Immortal Iron was actually...

With his bare hands...

Crushed!

"What?!"

Third Senior Brother's Soul almost jumped out of his body in terror!

How is this... the Mortal Realm Peak?!

"Mortal?"

Lin Feng slowly stood up. His charred palm began to heal at a visible rate under the terrifying recovery power of the Indestructible Asura Body!

"Beast of burden?"

He took a step forward, and that heavy Law suppression seemed to be... crushed under his foot at this moment!

"You think you're worthy?!"

"Avici Prison-Suppressing Blade!"

"Not good! Azure Essence Sword Shield!"

Third Senior Brother was horrified; he finally realized that he had... kicked a steel plate!

He hurriedly summoned one small azure shield after another!

However!

Lin Feng's Saber Intent was a blade of will that fused the Dragon-Slaying Sword Canon and the Avici Prison-Suppressing Blade, crushing the rules of the Lower Realm!

Crack!

That Human Immortal-rank Magic Treasure, the Azure Essence Sword Shield, at the moment it touched Lin Feng's hand blade!

It didn't even last for a single breath!

It shattered on the spot!

"No!"

Splurch!

The hand blade flashed past!

That tall Third Senior Brother of the first stage Human Immortal Realm, along with his arrogant expression...

Was split neatly into two halves right down the middle by Lin Feng!

Immortal blood dyed the Ascension Pool red!

[Ding!!!!]

"System!"

In Lin Feng's mind, the System seemed to be forcibly activated at this moment!

[Ding! Successfully killed a first stage Human Immortal!]

[critical hit multiplier increased to 101,000x! Obtained 1 billion critical hit points!]

"Holy crap?!"

Lin Feng's vision went dark; he almost cursed.

One billion points?!

Damn it!

Killing one first stage Human Immortal dropped a billion points?!

This is...

I'm rich!!!

"Ah! Third Senior Brother!"

The mean woman shrieked. She never dreamed that this Mortal would...

One-shot her Human Immortal Senior Brother?!

She was scared out of her wits and turned to run, while simultaneously frantically crushing the Communication Jade Talisman in her hand!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! A Devil Head has infiltrated the Ascension Pool!"

"Want to run?"

Killing intent was clear in Lin Feng's eyes!

"Didn't you want me to go mine?"

"Stay here... for me!"

"Earth-Shrinking Step!"

Lin Feng took a step forward!

"No!!"

The woman's Divine Soul froze under that terrifying killing intent and Luck!

In the next moment, Lin Feng's "blade" had already arrived!

Splurch!

Another head soared into the sky!

[Ding! Successfully killed a first stage Human Immortal!]

[critical hit multiplier increased to 102,000x! Obtained 1 billion critical hit points!]

"Enemy attack!"

"Surround the Ascension Pool!"

"Quick! Notify the manager! Something happened at Pool 'A'!"

Dense footsteps, accompanied by the clashing of Immortal armor, came frantically!

A large squad of at least thirty Immortal soldiers surrounded the entire Ascension Pool so tightly that not even water could leak through!

Leading them was a man in silver armor...

Third stage of the Human Immortal Realm!

"Damn it!"

Lin Feng cursed under his breath.

He was surrounded!

"System!"

"For me...!"

"Pour all points into the Myriad Dao Furnace Sutra!"

"Promote... for me!!"

[Ding!]

[Detected host is at Mortal Realm Peak!]

[Detected host is in the Ascension Pool, energy is sufficient!]

[2.95 billion points have been invested!]

[Myriad Dao Furnace Sutra... beginning operation!]

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!

A terrifying explosion beyond words erupted within Lin Feng's body!

And the Myriad Dao Furnace Sutra was the most terrifying furnace for smelting that nuclear bomb!

"Roar!!!"

Lin Feng let out a painful roar toward the sky!

That Ascension Pool, which had just calmed down, completely...

Boiled at this moment!

The incomparably precious Immortal Source Spiritual Liquid in the pool was frantically devoured by Lin Feng's body, turning into a giant vortex!

The Immortal Spiritual Qi within a hundred-mile radius was forcibly drained by that domineering suction!

Forming a...

Visibly massive...

Energy Tornado!

"Not good!"

"That kid is... is forcibly breaking through!!"

The Silver-Armored Captain was horrified!

"Stop him! Fire the Immortal-Suppressing Arrows!"

"Too late!"

Lin Feng suddenly snapped his eyes open!

Those 2.95 billion critical hit points had already helped him forcibly blast open that...

Firmest barrier between Mortal and Immortal!

Crack!

His Dantian transformed into a golden "Immortal Sea"!

His Meridians were recast into "Immortal Meridians"!

His power, at this moment, skyrocketed...

By more than ten times!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for breaking the Mortal-Immortal Barrier!]

[Successfully promoted to...]

[First stage of the Human Immortal Realm!]

Lin Feng slowly stood up from the boiling pool water.

He felt that brand-new, surging power filled with "Immortal Spiritual" energy within his body.

His cold eyes slowly swept over the surrounding thirty "Immortal Soldiers" who were already scared witless.

The corners of his mouth curled into a...

Savage smile.

Because after promoting to a Human Immortal...

The Law suppression was gone.

One strike for every Earthly Immortal.

Had also become...

One strike for every Heavenly Immortal!
