Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Soul Attack—Soul Shattering

Shi Feng sat astride a white tiger, weaving through the crowd, when he flipped his right hand, the black pearl he had purchased from the Treasure Pavilion once again appeared in the palm of his hand.

From its appearance, the black pearl looked just like an ordinary one. However, as Shi Feng’s hand was suddenly enveloped in a pale white Nine Nether Power, the pearl’s outer black layer began to peel off and evaporated under the influence of the pale white Nine Nether Power.

After the outer black layer peeled off, a bit of black liquid remained in Shi Feng’s hand, resembling black blood.

"This is!" Shi Feng gazed at the black droplet on his fingertip—instantly feeling a surge of Yin Cold Energy emanate from it. "An Eighth Grade Saint Yin Attribute Spiritual Material—Black Blood Pearl!"

As he held the droplet radiating Yin Cold Energy, Shi Feng almost let out a cry of amazement. He had never imagined that for three thousand Lower Grade Primordial Stones, he had actually purchased an Eighth Grade Saint Level Spiritual Material.

Not only could the Black Blood Pearl be used to refine Eighth Grade Saint Level Pills and in Artifact Refining, but it could also be directly ingested to strengthen the physical body—especially beneficial for Shi Feng’s Yin Cold constitution as a cultivator of the Nine Nether Technique.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Shi Feng swallowed the droplet of Black Blood Pearl and began to perform a Body Refining Technique right then and there in the middle of the busy street, amidst the never-ending flow of people, channeling the Nine Nether Technique to digest the Black Blood Pearl and bolster his Physical Body Power.

"You little beast! Where do you think you’re going!" Just at that moment, an angry, aged shout echoed from above the city of Bright Pearl, promptly followed by the sight of an old man in white robes materializing in the Void, his face contorted with rage as if he was confronting his father’s killer.

"Who is this person? How dare they fly through the air above Bright Pearl City? Such contempt for our city!"

Some people spotted the figure in the sky and commented.

Then someone by their side added, "Either it’s a person who has no idea about life and death, or it’s someone with a significant background, an identity that allows them to disregard Bright Pearl City entirely!"

Hearing this, many nearby nodded in agreement, "Uh!"

As a Seventh-stage Venerable Alchemist, this elder certainly had a substantial background. Having flown up from the Treasure Pavilion, a full thirty minutes had passed. Even if the City Guards of Bright Pearl City had seen him, they would have already reported to the City Lord of Bright Pearl, who had given the following orders: "Do not provoke this person."

After absorbing the Black Blood Pearl, Shi Feng immediately felt his physical body become more robust. The power of an Eighth Grade Saint Spiritual Material was indeed extraordinary. Shi Feng felt that with his original Two-star Martial King strength, he could now achieve the level of a Four-star Martial Sovereign with his Physical Body Power alone.

At this moment, Shi Feng heard the familiar, aged shout coming from the Void. Raising his head, he saw the old man from the Treasure Pavilion loom above him, glaring down with fury, as if Shi Feng owed him a substantial debt.

"You old geezer, how dare you chase after me!" Looking at the old man who had appeared in the Void, a thought crossed Shi Feng’s mind, and the white tiger beneath him let out a roar. With its four hooves pounding, it swiftly lifted Shi Feng into the air, galloping up to the old man and stopping right in front of him.

Shi Feng looked towards the old man not far ahead and spoke, "You old fool, just now, out of respect for your ignorance and age, I spared your life. Don’t be ungrateful!"

"How dare you!" The old man in white heard Shi Feng’s words and immediately pointed at him, letting out a furious shout, "You little beast, do you have any idea who I am? How dare you speak to me like this! You just wait, once I summon the powerhouses from the Tiankun Sect to come to the Tianlan Empire, I will annihilate your entire clan, leaving none alive!"

The old man’s anger was palpable, and his shouts were far from quiet. When he mentioned the three words "Tiankun Sect," the faces of the people below changed drastically.

Everyone in the Eastern Domain knew of Tiankun Sect, one of the Three Sacred Lands of the Eastern Domain. This entity was transcendental; even the three great empires of the Eastern Domain would crumble before the might of these Three Sacred Lands.

The Three Sacred Lands were considered the most colossal forces in the Eastern Domain. No one dared to provoke them.

Could it be that this old man, flying through the void above Bright Pearl City, was the reason the City Lord had ordered not to provoke him?

"Tiankun Sect! It’s actually Tiankun Sect! No wonder this old man, no, elder, dared to fly through the void above our Bright Pearl City without anyone intervening!"

"This youth, he has actually provoked Tiankun Sect, one of the Three Sacred Lands of the Eastern Domain! Now, it must be more likely bad news than good. I have never heard of anyone provoking Tiankun Sect and living to tell the tale."

"What a pity, such a young man, he might meet an untimely end! Not only that, but his family’s forces are also very likely to be implicated!"

"Now, there’s going to be a good show to watch."

The crowd below stared at the sky, at the two figures above, discussing fervently. While some worried for the youth, others, who loved chaos, reveled in the misfortune.

"Hmph! Tiankun Sect!" Upon hearing the name Tiankun Sect, Shi Feng’s face became filled with a cold expression. It was Tiankun Sect. The memory of a few months ago in the Death Forbidden Land where he nearly died at the hands of the man with the character ’八’ mustache, who was in the Five-star Martial Venerable Realm, and Qianz Yuanshan in the Seven-star Martial Venerable Realm, came flooding back.

Back then, he had nearly died at the hands of that man with the ’八’ mustache.

So it was an old thing from the sect of an enemy. No wonder he felt such revulsion at the mere sight of him.

"I spared your life before, old thing, but now that I know you are from that damned rubbish sect, old thing, you will die today!" Shi Feng said, his gaze coldly fixed on the old man.

"How insolent!" The old man had thought that by revealing his association with Tiankun Sect, the little beast in front of him would be frightfully intimidated. But unexpectedly, he dared to not only insult him but also to insult Tiankun Sect!

"Isn’t this youth too bold? Dare to insult Tiankun Sect? Does he know that he has offended Tiankun Sect and is acting recklessly since he’s going to die anyway?"

"Either he’s acting recklessly, or this youth’s background is not simple. Don’t look now, but remember that Tiankun Sect is one of our Eastern Domain’s Three Sacred Lands!"

"Three Sacred Lands? You mean to say this youth might be from the other two Sacred Lands, Moonlight Sect or Sun and Moon Divine Sect?"

"It’s not impossible!"

Then, as some people considered Shi Feng doomed, others began to speculate about his identity. They were even more eager to see them start the fight.

After the white-robed old man from Tiankun Sect hurled his angry shout at Shi Feng, he immediately followed with another fierce bellow: "Soul Shattering!" A soul attack was swiftly launched at Shi Feng!

Soul Shattering was an extremely vicious soul attack. If hit, the victim’s soul would shatter immediately, vanishing like smoke!
