Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 198 No one below the Dou Zun level is invincible!

"Let's give this holy maiden's brother the medicinal cauldron that our sect has passed down for thousands of years as an investment!"

Just as everyone was discussing where to find a top-grade medicine cauldron to give to Lin Feng in order to improve their relationship, a faint voice slowly entered their ears!

"Greetings to the former Lord of the Prefecture!"

The current head of the manor and the first elder were taken aback, but Elder Tang was the first to react and bowed respectfully. After that, the first elder and the others also hurriedly bowed.

"I've heard your guesses too," the mysterious former lord of the manor said, though he didn't appear in person, his voice still reached their ears precisely. "There's some truth to it. Besides, even if this saintess's brother isn't a peripheral member of the imperial clan..."

"With his talent, he will receive intensive training after arriving at the Pill Tower. In a few decades, he will be at least a Dou Zun expert. And with his talent in alchemy, becoming an eighth-grade alchemist will not be a problem. At that time, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion will be nothing more than a small force in his eyes!"

At this point, the mysterious former lord of the manor sighed slightly, seemingly reminiscing about the glorious days of the Heavenly Serpent Manor in ancient times.

"Let's cancel that matter. The Holy Maiden seems to have special feelings for her brother; we shouldn't provoke her resentment!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the oppressive atmosphere vanished instantly. Seeing this, the current head of the manor and the others breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the previous head of the manor had already left.

"call"

"As expected of a Dou Zun powerhouse, simply by standing in an unknown space, he can exert such immense pressure on us!"

The current lord and the Grand Elder exchanged glances, all able to see the lingering fear in each other's hearts. The reason why there were so many factions within the Heavenly Serpent Palace was because the previous lord, a Dou Zun powerhouse, had not appeared for many years, and the current lord and the Grand Elder were both at the same level, thus they were at odds with each other.

After the Saintess returned a few years ago, some neutral factions that were originally neutral joined her ranks and became the third faction.

Of course, there is also an inconspicuous faction, namely the veterans who are loyal to the previous lord. Because the previous lord had been in seclusion for many years and looked down on his son, they had been living in seclusion.

However, since Lin Feng's arrival, things have subtly changed. The current Palace Master and the Grand Elder's faction are both considering joining the Holy Maiden's ranks. After all, everyone is well aware of Lin Feng's future achievements.

Originally, even if the Holy Maiden returned, it would be many years before she became powerful, and by then they didn't know if they would still be alive. Therefore, many elders did not actively join Qinglin's ranks.

Only the younger generation, such as Green Barbarian and Elder Qing, are willing to take a gamble.

Now, however, things have changed because of the seventh-grade pills refined by Lin Feng. Even the former manor lord, who is a Dou Zun powerhouse, has shown his intention to invest in Lin Feng.

"In that case, Elder, you may go to the treasure vault and retrieve that Heavenly Cauldron that has been sealed away for many years!"

After discussing the details, the current head of the manor clapped his hands and made no further hesitation.

"Sizzle sizzle"

Lin Feng was unaware of what was happening outside the secret chamber, as all his energy was focused on refining the pill lightning. The True Dragon Body Forging Technique was operating at full capacity within his body, following a peculiar path. With each cycle, Lin Feng's physical body grew significantly at a visible speed.

Of course, the Dan Lei absorbed by Lin Feng also visibly shrank.

Under such stable refining, another five or six days and months slowly passed in the outside world. On this day, Lin Feng had not emitted any powerful lightning for a long time, and the speed at which his aura increased was becoming increasingly slow.

However, Lin Feng, whose physical strength had already reached the level of a seventh-tier magical beast, was extremely unwilling. He gritted his teeth and quickly changed his palm prints, tearing off a small wisp of blood mist from the Dragon Emperor's essence deep within his body.

"Boom!"

Don't underestimate these tiny, barely perceptible blood streaks. They are the essence blood of Zhu Kun, the old dragon emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan, the top-tier magical beast of the Dou Qi Continent. If all of this essence blood were released—no, just a tiny drop—it would be enough to crush Lin Feng, a mere Dou Zong.

This was the first time Lin Feng had used so much of the Dragon Emperor's essence blood energy. The boundless energy surged through his body like a wild horse. If it weren't for the power of the Pill Lightning that raised his physical strength to the level of a half-step seventh-order magical beast, Lin Feng would probably have been so shocked that he would have coughed up blood.

Even so, Lin Feng was still feeling very unwell, his face was flushed and his whole body was burning up.

Sensing the changes in his body, Lin Feng immediately activated the body-refining techniques "True Dragon Body Refining Technique" and "Five Elements Technique" simultaneously. Fortunately, these two techniques were powerful enough that although his meridians were still stretched to their limit, he was no longer in danger of exploding.

At the same time, impacted by this immense energy, an invisible barrier within Lin Feng's body began to crumble. This invisible barrier was the obstacle preventing his physical body from reaching the level of a seventh-tier magical beast. However, what obstacle could withstand the impact of the Dragon Emperor's essence blood?

In a short while, the barrier was shattered into pieces, and the obstacle that prevented his physical body from entering the seventh level of the magical beast realm was no longer there. Lin Feng naturally did not hesitate any longer and absorbed the remaining dragon emperor's essence blood with all his might, attempting to stabilize himself quickly.

"call"

After a long while, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and a divine light shot out from them, illuminating the dark secret room. It disappeared after a long time.

Extending my palm, I felt the powerful energy contained within my body; it seemed that even the slightest movement could affect the space around me.

"Perhaps, with just my physical strength, I am enough to rival a low-level Dou Zong. As for Dou Zongs above the fourth level, their use of spatial power has reached another level, making them difficult to deal with."

"However," Lin Feng slowly rose, releasing his powerful aura without any concealment. Fortunately, the barrier prevented it from leaking outwards. Otherwise, the entire Heavenly Serpent Palace would probably have had to be on high alert.

"Taking advantage of the advancement in his physical body, his battle qi has also risen to a new level, reaching the level of a three-star Dou Zong."

Lin Feng secretly assessed his combat strength. At the Dou Zong realm, the Five Elements Technique, comparable to a high-level Earth Rank technique, still gave him an advantage. Furthermore, the unique nature of the Five Elements attributes provided Lin Feng with even more advantages in battle.

At this moment, his physical strength is comparable to that of a seventh-tier magical beast. If anyone else were to engage in close combat with Lin Feng, they would certainly suffer a great loss.

Furthermore, with the Five Elements Sealing Technique resulting from the fusion of the Five Wheels Fire Technique, and the rare and precious Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Lin Feng guessed that he could even contend with a Seven-Star or Eight-Star Dou Zong. Even against a peak Nine-Star Dou Zong, while he might not be a match, escaping would be a piece of cake.

Moreover, Lin Feng was accompanied by Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, both possessing astonishing combat power. One was a Devouring Python with the blood of the Snake Clan King, whose physical strength was even greater than Lin Feng's. The other possessed the Calamity Poison Body and had fused with the Netherworld Poison Fire, a rare treasure of heaven and earth. Her physique was no longer a limitation; on the contrary, she could use it to unleash incomparably powerful strength.

The three of them traveling together would face no danger unless a Dou Zun intervened.
