"Stop!"
"How audacious, to dare intrude upon the Life Origin Sect and commit murder!"
The two Elders of the Life Origin Sect who just appeared saw that Elder Yu had been cut in two and bellowed in indignation.
The Life Origin Sect was a peak four-star faction, and yet someone had dared to intrude and attack an Elder.
"The two of you came at just the right time." Zhao Feng suddenly turned to the two Ancient God experts who were charging at him."What do you mean?" The old man with black-green skin stopped, his eyes turning gloomy.
This young man had actually chosen not to run in the face of two Ancient God experts, instead turning to face them. The Elder found this situation to be extremely strange.
The other Elder began to carefully inspect Zhao Feng.
"Third Elder, Fourth Elder, don't listen to his nonsense! Hurry and kill him!" the mangled Elder Yu began to strenuously shout.
But the two Elders examined Zhao Feng with profound gazes, not daring to act rashly.
"You are…!"
As the two Elders examined Zhao Feng, they suddenly remembered something and grimaced.They had long ago heard that some peerless genius had appeared in the Spiritual Race, one who had reached Rank Six in his breakthrough. This genius's left eye and hair were of a very unique color.
They had only heard rumors and not seen this genius for themselves, so they didn't recognize Zhao Feng at the start.
"I am a core disciple of the Spiritual Race, Zhao Feng!" Zhao Feng finished the words of those two Elders.
"It really is him!" The two Elders were shocked, and then they became confused. The Life Origin Sect was one of the factions under the Spiritual Race. Why had Zhao Feng come to make trouble here?
"A year ago, I escorted a bloodline descendant of the Eye of Life to the Life Origin Sect in the hopes that the Life Origin Sect could nurture and train her. But I didn't expect that, after I left, Yu Bingcheng would act on his private desire, seeking to take her for his own by keeping her imprisoned this entire time." Zhao Feng coldly laid out the situation.
"The Eye of Life!" the two Life Origin Sect Elders both blurted out in surprise.
The two simultaneously turned to Han Ning'er.
"It really is the Eye of Life!" After confirming the truth through their sharp senses, the two Elders were even more stunned.
It's over! Elder Yu knew that he would no longer be able to escape. But even if his cultivation was crippled, he had means of restarting his cultivation, though the process would be much more difficult.
"Hmph! Elder Yu, you're very bold!" The two Elders suddenly turned grim as they coldly glared at Yu Bingcheng.
There was no need to mention the potential of the Eye of Life. If this person had become part of the Life Origin Sect, she would have certainly become one of its strongest experts. Perhaps they could have sent the Eye of Life to the Life Sacred Land; she would still have a bright future while the Life Origin Sect would also stand to greatly benefit.
Elder Yu had also noticed this potential, so he tried to make Han Ning'er his cultivation companion. If he had succeeded, he would have stood to benefit the most, and the Life Origin Sect wouldn't have blamed Elder Yu.
But crucially, he failed! Now, not only would the Life Origin Sect lose the Eye of Life, but they had also offended Zhao Feng, a core disciple of the Spiritual Race.
"You two came at just the right time. I am currently planning to personally execute him," Zhao Feng flatly spoke to the two Elders.
"Execution!?" Elder Yu immediately reeled his head back in shock.
Didn't Zhao Feng say that he was only going to cripple his cultivation? When had it become execution?
"If you hadn't threatened Han Ning'er's life just now, perhaps I might have permitted you to continue struggling at death's door." Zhao Feng sneered.
He originally planned to spare this person's life, but Yu Bingcheng made the wrong choice.
The Third and Fourth Elder of the Life Origin Sect exchanged glances and began to message each other.
Good or bad, Elder Yu was still a Rank Six True God and an Elder. He still had value for the Life Origin Sect. However, if they incurred Zhao Feng's displeasure for the sake of Yu Bingcheng, the loss would outweigh the gain.
"Friend Zhao, Elder Yu – good or bad – is still a Rank Six True God and an Elder of the Life Origin Sect. We hope that you can spare his life for the sake of the Life Origin Sect!" the withered Elder spoke.
"The Life Origin Sect is willing to pay a large sum of God Crystals and herbs to compensate Friend Zhao and pay for Yu Bingcheng's life!" the old lady hurriedly added.
The Elders spoke up one after the other.
Their words were the result of their discussion. Through this method, they could both curry Zhao Feng's favor while also sparing Yu Bingcheng's life.
After all, Zhao Feng simply had too much potential. He was even friends with a descendant of the Eye of Life. If they could form a friendship with this pair, the Life Origin Sect would only benefit.
On the side, Yu Bingcheng rejoiced to see that the two Elders of the sect wanted to save his life.
"I was informing you, not asking!" Zhao Feng growled, his expression unchanged.
The three Elders of the Life Origin Sect immediately grimaced at these words. There was a hint of slight displeasure on the faces of the Third Elder and Fourth Elder, but there was only fear on Elder Yu's face. He never expected for Zhao Feng to be so unyielding as to not give these two Elders any face.
Boom! Hisss!
Countless white arcs of lightning began to crackle within Zhao Feng's left eye, and Destruction Intent that could destroy souls, combined with powerful soul ripples, began to surge.
"No! Third Elder, Fourth Elder, hurry and persuade Zhao Feng…!" Elder Yu sensed his imminent death and immediately began to plead and beg.
But it was all too late. Zhao Feng's eye-bloodline technique was simply too fast.
Kacrack!
A twisted bolt of Tribulation Lightning and a writhing flame exploded on Elder Yu's soul. He was only able to put up a tiny struggle before his soul was annihilated.
"Instant death!"
"That was a Soul eye-bloodline technique with Tribulation Lightning energy!"
The two Elders of the Life Origin Sect stared in horror at this sight.
They had heard that Zhao Feng directly attained Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm, but he only needed a glance to kill someone at the same rank!?
They found it difficult to fathom the true power of Zhao Feng's eye-bloodline. It was at least on par with the descendants of the Eight Great God Eyes.
Such talent and strength were simply terrifying!
"Friend Zhao, Elder Yu is dead, but this friend of yours with the Eye of Life can remain in the Life Origin Sect. Let our Life Origin Sect compensate her. The Life Origin Sect can guarantee that such a thing will never happen again…."
With Elder Yu dead, Zhao Feng's anger should have been vented, so the withered old man began to make peaceful overtures.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh as he prepared to refuse.
"No, I don't want to stay here!" Han Ning'er immediately said.
Everyone here was a supreme expert while she was just a Quasi-God, so Han Ning'er had chosen to remain silent earlier. But now, Han Ning'er bluntly stated her opinion.
"Then let's go!" Zhao Feng faintly smiled, swept up Han Ning'er, and left the Life Origin Sect.
"Damn! That kid is very arrogant! He kills an Elder of the Life Origin Sect and then just leaves!" The face of the withered Elder turned icy as soon as Zhao Feng left.
"There's nothing we can do. After all, Yu Bingcheng's crimes were clear, and even if we made a fuss about this, the Life Origin Sect would gain very little. We could even end up offending Zhao Feng. It's not worth the risk." The old lady sighed.
"How formidable! This is Zhao Feng!"
"He dared to force his way in and kill Elder Yu!"
The disciples gathered in the area began to enthusiastically discuss this event.
...
As he was on the verge of leaving the Life Origin Sect, Zhao Feng swept up Zhao Hui into his Interspatial Dimension with his sleeve. With everything done, Zhao Feng left the Life Origin Sect and began his journey back to the Spiritual Race.
"Thank you for saving me again!" Han Ning'er regained her former composure, her face once again lively and amiable.
"I was the one who troubled you. I shouldn't have left you with him in the first place, so it was only right that I save you," Zhao Feng straightforwardly said.
The two had spent more than thirty years together on the journey from the Gulong Zone to the Ziling Zone, and their relationship had slowly changed along this journey. Zhao Feng noticed that something about Han Ning'er's situation wasn't right, so he naturally couldn't just leave her there.
Zhao Feng didn't rush on his way back. He would occasionally stop and rest at Exchange Spiritual Halls.
On a certain day, Zhao Feng took out the large stack of invitations he had received and began to look them over.
The news of Zhao Feng directly attaining Rank Six of the Heavenly Divine Realm had sent shockwaves throughout the entire Ziling Zone. However, Zhao Feng had only ever shown his power in the Spiritual Race, so the other factions remained doubtful about the authenticity of Zhao Feng's situation.
When they came to the Spiritual Race to visit Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng was in seclusion. Thus, they issued Zhao Feng invitations.
Once Zhao Feng came to visit, these factions could verify the facts for themselves. At the same time, if it was true, these factions would inevitably try to recruit to Zhao Feng and form a good relationship with him.
"Eh? Even the Life Sacred Land sent an invitation!"
Zhao Feng extracted a letter with strange green inscriptions on it from the pile.
The Life Sacred Land was the overlord faction of the Ziling Zone. Although it didn't really matter if he went or not, Zhao Feng had never been to a God Realm Sacred Land before. He was rather curious to see what they were all about.
Perhaps I can send Han Ning'er to the Life Sacred Land. An idea suddenly occurred to Zhao Feng.
Although he could ensure Han Ning'er's safety in the Spiritual Race, in terms of her future prospects, there was no better place than the Life Sacred Land. Moreover, Han Ning'er also had the important and heavy burden of reviving Spirit Grass Gate. As a result, Zhao Feng felt that the Life Sacred Land was the ideal choice for Han Ning'er.
"Fortunately, it's not too far off the path." Zhao Feng looked over the map in his mind.
After resting for a while, the two set off again.
"Han Ning'er, let's go take a look around the Life Sacred Land," Zhao Feng said before leaving.
"The Life Sacred Land? Can we actually go?" Han Ning'er's eyes sparkled with vivacious light.
As a member of a faction specialized in the Medicine Dao, she naturally knew about the Life Sacred Land. The Life Sacred Land could be considered a sacred land for every practitioner of the Medicine Dao, the land of their dreams.
"Then let's go!" After receiving Han Ning'er's approval, Zhao Feng adjusted their route.
...
Four months later, the pair reached the center of the Ziling Zone, near the lands of the Life Sacred Land.
Even before they reached the actual Life Sacred Land, Zhao Feng could already sense that the concentration of Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was on the same level as the area occupied by the periphery disciples of the Spiritual Race. Moreover, the air was thick with vitality; just breathing it in would make one's body feel relaxed.
Zhao Feng used his left eye to peer into the distance.
In the center of a vast, light green fog was an incomparably massive ancient tree of life. This ancient tree seemed to connect heaven and earth. The area covered by its canopy was larger than the entire territory of the Spiritual Race.
"What a massive tree!" Zhao Feng was blown away by this sight. This was the largest tree he had ever seen in his life.
The area covered by this massive tree was an independent dimension. It was surrounded by layers of arrays that cut it off from the outside world. At this distance, Zhao Feng wasn't able to see inside.
"Eh?" Just as he was preparing to head toward the Life Sacred Land, Zhao Feng's left eye suddenly sensed something strange nearby underground.
