Peerless God King

In this quiet and secluded area, besides the occasional birdcall of life, there was only the whistling of the wind, causing people to feel a chill run down their spines.    

This place was almost completely isolated from the outside world. Within this continuous mountain range, a straight mountain peak soared into the sky. It was as though a spear was about to pierce through this land.    

Clouds and mist curled around the mountaintop. The density of the mist was such that it was difficult to see through with the naked eye. However, if one was careful, it was not difficult to discover that on the mountaintop, where even the birds and beasts had difficulty flying, a figure slowly appeared.    

A youth sat cross-legged, his body as motionless as a statue. His slightly closed eyelids would occasionally tremble and his face would even turn slightly red from the slight twitching. It was as if he was suffering from extreme pain.    

Pfft!    

At some point, a powerful current had swept out from the youth's side. Soon after, the youth's hands, which had been resting on his knees, had been tightly clenched. His eyes, which had not been opened all this time, had now been replaced with a scarlet color.    

As his chest rolled over, he spat out a mouthful of blood. As the bloody scent permeated the air, the young man's eyes were once again filled with a wisp of life force. The scarlet color gradually dimmed, and even his breathing became a little smoother.    

"You're finally awake!"    

The space next to him slightly fluctuated, and Xiao Ling slowly walked out as well.    

After sweeping his gaze across Tang Feng's body and seeing that there were no major problems with it, he finally let out a sigh of relief.    

It had already been half a month since he escaped from the Xue Mansion's grasp, but during this period, Xiao Ling's mind was completely tense. The strength of that one strike was so strong that even though they were separated by quite a distance, Xiao Ling still felt a type of attack that he had never experienced before. Even the Saint Stage Expert would probably be severely injured.    

Any Mystic Realm powerhouse would be instantly crushed into dust by such a powerful attack!    

He clearly knew that he was protected by the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda, but the backlash from that force caused Tang Feng to be completely unharmed. If one's control over the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda was slightly weaker, it was not impossible to die among the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda.    

Fortunately, Tang Feng managed to hold on in the end.    

"That attack almost took my life."    

Under the hoarse voice, the moment he thought about how the Xue Mansion would join hands to attack Tang Feng, his voice trembled a little. His close contact with the god of death had even made Tang Feng feel a sense of despair.    

As he slightly stretched his shins, the pain he felt from his body made him involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air. That strike was like a comet crashing into a moon as it fiercely fell into a Nine-layered Demon Pagoda. The amount of force behind that strike was so great that Tang Feng's entire five senses were stupefied, and he instantly lost control of it. Under the strong vibration, all the functions of his body were instantly destroyed. The only feeling he had was the cracking sound that came from his bones and pierced into his nerves.    

Fortunately, Jiu You had protected Tang Feng in the nick of time, but Tang Feng shook his head helplessly when he had tried to contact Jiu You previously. It seemed that in the process, Jiu You had expended a lot of experience, otherwise Tang Feng wouldn't have been able to be preserved in the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda.    

Only, he didn't know how long it had been since he had fallen asleep.    

Collecting the Spiritual Sense, Tang Feng struggled to lift his hand. The Storage Ring flashed, and a ray of light also appeared in Tang Feng's palm, after which he saw a mini version of the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda appear in front of him.    

An ancient aura spread out from the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda, dispersing quite a bit of the surrounding Yun Che's Fog City. Under the cover of the golden light, it looked like it was blinking on the summit of the mountain.    

His gaze was fixated on the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda, carefully sweeping through it, and only after discovering that there were no traces at all on it, Tang Feng heaved a sigh of relief.    

"Looks like this item is really not simple."    

Xiao Ling slowly said while slightly narrowing her eyes. The toughness of this object far surpassed their expectations. According to this situation, perhaps even the full strength of an expert of Saint Stage wouldn't be enough to destroy it.    

Tang Feng also nodded. The only regret he had was that he did not seem to be able to completely control the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda. According to what Jiu You said before, if the Mortal Tower was one, then staying inside the tower would be absolutely safe.    

But even so, a hint of excitement still flashed through Tang Feng's eyes.    

His Essential Blood's compatibility with this Nine-layered Demon Pagoda was extremely high. Presumably, in time, he would be able to achieve the level that Jiu You had described. At that time, Tang Feng would have the means to be a true strong warrior.    

So what if he couldn't win?    

With Nine-layered Demon Pagoda in hand, he could at least be afraid of falling. Tang Feng had seen the speed of this thing before, and even many Peak Mystic Stage Warriors had chased after it. In just a few breaths of time, they forcefully tore open space and disappeared from everyone's line of sight.    

"Raising your own strength is the way to go. If you can completely awaken your Heterotypic Spirit Pattern, then your energy will surpass human imagination."    

With a slight frown, Xiao Ling said as well.    

If he just relied on external forces, it wouldn't be his basic method. Even Xiao Ling was not clear about the history behind the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda, but to be able to withstand the combined attack of so many experts on that day, he could tell. He naturally did not wish for Tang Feng to use this kind of external force as his core foundation.    

It had to be known that no matter how powerful the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda was, it was only a slightly tenacious weapon in front of a real Top Expert.    

"Of course I know that."    

How could Tang Feng not understand the hidden meaning behind Xiao Ling's words? After playing with it, he restrained it once again. One had to know that Tang Feng currently did not have absolute control over the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda. Perhaps, he would only know how to fuse himself and the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda after he had awakened from his slumber.    

Furthermore, he would have to wait for his own strength to continuously increase before he could unleash the core strength of the Nine-layered Demon Pagoda.    

"Right, these things should be useful to you."    

As if he had thought of something, Tang Feng's eyes revealed a hint of light.    

This time, the appearance of the original body of Xiao Ling probably attracted the attention of many powers in the Ancient God Continent long ago, and even the experts from many forces had started to search the entire sky for the original body that was Xiao Ling.    

Spirit King, a Sacred Entity, its strength was enough to be comparable to a Peak Mystic Stage Ranker. Perhaps in the eyes of those ancient powers, this level of strength and cultivation was only mediocre. However, this was something that those great powers liked.    

In that battle, Xiao Ling should have left behind quite a few auras, so the next time he appeared, it might be when he would be watched by those powers.    

The only way was to let Xiao Ling's strength increase as quickly as possible. Perhaps breaking through the Secret Realm and becoming a Saint Stage Expert wasn't impossible.    

With that, his palm moved, and countless Energy Core s appeared. These Energy Core s lost control of their bodies and attempted to rush out. Seeing that, Tang Feng smiled, as if he had already expected it, the space in which they were holding this place with their five fingers became restricted, and the Energy Core s kept trying to rush out, but to no avail.    

"So many?!"    

The appearance of the densely packed Energy Core also shocked Xiao Ling.    

Previously, he knew that Tang Feng had obtained a lot of Energy Core s. These Energy Core might not have any direct uses to warriors, but towards existences like Xiao Ling, they were still of great use. From the previous refining process, he could not only replenish his lost energy, but he could also faintly feel the feeling of breaking through the barrier.    

The strongest strength of a Spirit King is when this sovereign has reached one hundred ninety-nine meters. It is said that at that time, it was Peak Mystic Stage, and no one under Saint Stage could compare to it!    

Not knowing why, but after devouring those Energy Core, Xiao Ling had a strange feeling that he might have the chance to step into a realm that the Spirit King had never stepped into!    

Perhaps the number in front of him would allow him to find such an opportunity!    

"There's also a Ghost King's Energy Core …"    

Pointing at the largest Energy Core, Tang Feng said softly. And these words caused Xiao Ling's eyes to light up as well.    

"I want to refine these Energy Core first."    

With a slight frown, Xiao Ling finally turned around and said to Tang Feng in a low voice. This thing was way too attractive for Xiao Ling.    

"Of course."    

Shrugging his shoulders, Tang Feng also laughed. This thing was originally prepared for Xiao Ling. If he could help her break through, that would be for the best.    

"How long will it take?"    

However, when he saw Xiao Ling's troubled face, Tang Feng's pupils contracted slightly.    

"A short one year, a long three years."    

After exhaling the foul air from his chest, Xiao Ling slowly said. And this short sentence also slightly stunned Tang Feng's body. He naturally understood the meaning behind Xiao Ling's words. It was likely that he wouldn't be able to see Xiao Ling in front of him for a very long period of time.    

This might be a form of guilt.    

After all, Xiao Ling had promised back then that he would protect Tang Feng before he fully matured.    

"How confident are you?"    

Biting his lips, Tang Feng felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. He didn't know when it happened, but he had gotten used to having a little fellow by his side.    

"Eighty percent" he lowered his head and did not look straight at Tang Feng.    

"Then, do your best!"    

Tang Feng was not one to procrastinate, he naturally knew that it was impossible for him to wait for Xiao Ling here for so long, and he also understood that this opportunity was not easy for Xiao Ling, and Xiao Ling did not wish to drag it out either.    

Then, the best way would be to bless Xiao Ling for successfully breaking through!    

As for himself, although he hadn't grown up yet, he wasn't someone who could be pressed down by anyone.    

Tang Feng's words also moved Xiao Ling a bit.    

However, in the end, he choked and recalled the words that were originally prepared to speak. Perhaps, this was the best solution for both of them.    

"After I break through, I'll definitely come back to find you!"    

Clenching his fists tightly, he spoke word for word as if they were gold coins!    

Finally, it was time to part?    

(There was no other word to be found except embarrassment.) An update was delivered. I saw the big message from Dolphin # 22130407 in the comment section. Hahaha, I like Tang Feng, I like you even more!)
