Chapter 126: Lin Feng vs Wei Jun (1)

Lin Feng felt an overwhelming pressure crash down on him as he looked up at the towering figure of Wei Jun. In that instant, he realized—this would undoubtedly be the most difficult battle he had ever fought.

Even though Mo Chen was strong and was the main reason why my battle against those 7th-level Qi Condensation cultivators took longer than expected, after breaking through and reaching the Second Level of the Ruler’s Physique, I was confident I could defeat him regardless.

But this Wei Jun... he’s at the 10th level of Qi Condensation, on par with Chen Mei and Chen Yang—both renowned as geniuses within their clans.

Which means... this Wei Jun is also a genius.

Countless thoughts raced through Feng’s mind as he observed Wei Jun’s transformation.

Yet, despite it all, there wasn’t a trace of fear within him. Instead, an exhilarating thrill surged through his veins—this was a chance to test the limits of his current strength.

Of course, there’s also the bonus of me wanting to sever his head from his body...

Lin Feng’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent as he instantly merged with his Heaven’s Pact. Silver streaks rippled through his hair, and his eyes darkened to a cold, piercing gray.

But that wasn’t the only change. Without hesitation, he sent a command to the system.

System, I want to absorb the spiritual energy from those I’ve killed.

[Affirmative.]

WHOOSH!

The moment the system confirmed his request, a massive surge of spiritual energy erupted from within Lin Feng’s body, pouring rapidly into his dantian and expanding his qi sea at an astonishing rate.

It was worth noting that after his session of enlightenment—when he had absorbed that vast amount of spiritual energy—he had deliberately redirected it toward his physical body instead of his cultivation base.

Had he allowed it to fuel his breakthrough back then, he would have already stepped into a higher realm.

Though the system assured him there wouldn’t be any major consequences, he had refrained, wanting to first gain a clear understanding of his battle prowess before advancing further.

But now, after a series of relentless battles tonight, he felt it was finally time.

He had pushed his limits, refined his control, and no longer feared his cultivation base being unstable or him not knowing how to use his cultivation base efficiently.

Besides, If I don’t break through now, I won’t even stand a chance against this person.

Although the 7th level of Qi Condensation was considered a bottleneck, all that was truly required to break through was a sufficient understanding of one’s Heaven’s Pact—something Lin Feng had attained long ago.

The fact that he had already defeated cultivators at a higher cultivation level than him was proof of his proficiency over his heavens’ pact.

Not to mention, his breakthrough in the Ruler’s Physique had further strengthened his compatibility with his Heaven’s Pact.

And now, after just a few seconds of absorbing spiritual energy, his qi sea had finally reached the absolute limit of the 6th level of Qi Condensation—before shattering past it.

Lin Feng had officially stepped into the 7th level of Qi Condensation.

I definitely feel much stronger... but there’s no real way to gauge just how much stronger I’ve become.

I guess the best way to find out—is to fight!

Lin Feng’s eyes burned with ferocity as he locked onto Wei Jun, who regarded him with a curious expression before speaking in a loud voice.

"You either just broke through after suppressing your cultivation, or you’ve always been at the 7th level of Qi Condensation and simply hid it. Either way, it doesn’t matter. Since you’re an outsider meddling in the affairs of Silverpine City—and you dared to kill members of my Wei Clan—then it’s only natural that I kill you as well!"

Wei Jun grinned before suddenly launching a devastating punch, dark brown spiritual energy surging around his fist.

On the surface, the attack seemed no different from those of the other Wei Clan members—except for one crucial difference. Wei Jun was simply far more powerful!

Yet instead of retreating, Lin Feng chose to stand his ground. Darksilver spiritual energy roared around him as he gathered his strength, forming a spiraling hurricane of spiritual power with himself at its core.

His 7th-level Qi Condensation cultivation merged seamlessly with the might of his Second-Level Ruler’s Physique.

Let’s test it out

Lin Feng raised his right hand and launched a punch straight toward Wei Jun’s incoming attack, meeting it head-on.

He had no intention of evading—this was a test to determine how much stronger he really had become after his breakthrough.

Wei Jun burst into arrogant laughter at the sight.

"You damn ant! Who do you think you are? Did killing a few 7th-level cultivators make you think you’re strong? You’re not the only one capable of such feats!"

Wei Jun’s voice dripped with chilling arrogance, his eyes gleaming with disdain as he drove even more power into his punch.

The ground quivered beneath him, cracks spiderwebbing outward as the sheer force of his presence warped the air itself.

"Since you want to die so badly, there’s no need to drag this out."

A sudden surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body, his fist becoming enveloped in a dense, earthen aura.

In an instant, the energy solidified, forming thick layers of yellow and brown stone around his hand, making it resemble an indestructible gauntlet.

Cracks spread across the ground beneath him, and a low rumble echoed through the battlefield as his power surged.

"Stonehide Dragon Art: Stonehide Impact!"

With a thunderous roar, Wei Jun launched forward, his stone-covered fist tearing through the air with the force of a landslide.

A powerful shockwave blasted outward from the sheer momentum, sending dust and debris flying in all directions.

Lin Feng’s silver-streaked hair whipped wildly as the overwhelming force pressed down on him.

Guess this is one way to test out my theory

His darksilver spiritual energy erupted like a raging tempest, spiraling around his body with unrestrained ferocity.

His cultivation base surged, and the power of his Second-Level Ruler’s Physique roared to life as he also increased the power of his attack.

Blackwood Dominance Art: Darksilver Obliteration!

Wei Jun’s stone-clad fist and Lin Feng’s darksilver-infused strike collided.

BOOM

A deafening explosion erupted from the point of impact.

The sheer force of their clash sent a shockwave tearing through the battlefield, shattering the ground and sending massive fissures sprawling in every direction.
