146: Chapter 147 Departure is also a Return

Jiang Feng only felt that his Physical Body had become a battlefield, where the Dragon and the Divine Elephant were slaughtering each other within him.

A Dragon roar exploded in the left half of his body, seeking to tear the firmament apart.

An Elephant trumpet surged in the right half of his body, seeking to trample the earth to pieces.

One was the supreme of the heavens, the other was unparalleled on earth.

These two forces of Origin refused to submit to one another, wanting only to completely crush and devour the other, and his flesh, Meridians, and bones were the battlefield for their slaughter.

Crack... crack...

His bones were shattering inch by inch, only to be barely knit back together by the faint golden light of the Small Golden Body Art, before being torn apart again by even more violent power.

His skin had long since cracked, and what sprayed out was no longer blood, but a layer of golden and silver mist.

"Brother Feng!"

Shangguan Wuqing watched helplessly as a layer of pale golden flames ignited out of thin air on the surface of Jiang Feng's body; it was the heart-fire born from the violent friction between his Qi and blood and the power of the Dragon and Elephant!

If this continued, even if Jiang Feng could achieve Fusion of the two powers, he would ultimately be burned to ashes by his own doing!

Shangguan Wuqing could no longer care about the distinctions between man and woman, or the separate paths of immortals and Mortals.

This man was her light, her everything.

If he died, what meaning would there be in her living!

Shangguan Wuqing gritted her silver teeth and made a crazy decision.

She stripped off all her clothes.

With her clothes removed, a delicate body, tempered by wind and snow and filled with the beauty of wildness and strength, was exposed to the scorching air.

Without the slightest hesitation, she threw herself toward the figure already enveloped in flames!

"No!"

On the verge of collapse, a sliver of clarity emerged from the depths of Jiang Feng's Divine Soul; he sensed that familiar fragrance and hoarsely roared those two words.

But his body was already beyond his control.

The moment that slightly cool and soft body pressed against him, his body, scorched by the raging fire, instinctively made the most primitive of reactions.

A pair of arms burning with flames suddenly hugged her tight, so tight it was as if he wanted to knead her into his own bones and blood.

Shangguan Wuqing let out a muffled groan, feeling as if her bones were about to be crushed, but she did not struggle; instead, she hugged Jiang Feng even tighter.

Strange to say.

With her joining, those two extreme, irreconcilable forces within Jiang Feng's body seemed to have found a common outlet.

She was like a clear spring blowing from the far northern ice fields, instantly extinguishing the heart-fire burning on the surface of Jiang Feng's body.

And the restless power of the Dragon and Elephant found a new battlefield, with a portion of the power surging madly into Shangguan Wuqing's body along their tightly pressed skin.

"Mmm..."

Shangguan Wuqing felt as if she had been thrown into magma, her whole body burning hot, but immediately after, a cool aura came from Jiang Feng's body, neutralizing that heat.

One cold, one hot; one Yin and one Yang.

The two leaked forces actually formed a profound cycle between the two of them.

The violent power of the Dragon and Elephant within Jiang Feng's body found a path of release and no longer madly destroyed his Physical Body.

And Shangguan Wuqing, under the scouring and nourishment of this power, saw her original Mortal physique undergoing a heaven-turning, earth-shaking transformation.

The towering, snow-capped mountains outside the cave, which never melted all year round, began to melt at an unprecedented speed!

The accumulated snow that never melted for years turned into streams under the power of the Dragon and Elephant, rushing down from the mountain peaks.

The spring grass by the streams began to grow wildly under the water flow.

As the spring tide carried the cold from the mountain peaks, a layer of white frost began to cover the grass again.

Snow melts, grass grows, frost falls.

It was as if the cycle of the four seasons had been compressed to the extreme in this moment.

Inside the stone chamber.

Jiang Feng had completely lost his reason, leaving only the most primitive instincts.

He became an untiring ancient giant beast, sparing no effort to squander the nearly endless power within him.

The power of the Dragon and Elephant surged within his body, flowed over Shangguan Wuqing, and finally returned to his Dantian.

With each cycle, the sharp edges of the two forces were smoothed down by a fraction.

With every agitation, their Origins drew closer by a fraction.

Like milk and water blending, Yin and Yang closed.

"Roar—!"

I do not know how much time had passed, when, following Jiang Feng's final, extremely suppressed roar.

His Dantian, the phantom images of the golden Divine Dragon and the silver giant Elephant stopped attacking each other and instead slammed into each other, completely merging into a Taiji Diagram radiating the aura of Chaos.

The Dragon was Yang, the Elephant was Yin.

Dragon and Elephant became one!

A terrifying power, unprecedented and transcending everything from the past, was born with a roar!

Warm, heavy, and filled with the aura of life.

This newborn power flowed docilely, quickly traveling through all his limbs and bones, repairing those shattered Meridians, recasting those broken bones, and nourishing that withered flesh.

When Jiang Feng opened his eyes again, what met his gaze was a stunningly beautiful face, tear-streaked but with a hint of satisfied smiling.

Shangguan Wuqing lay in his arms, already panting and weak.

Jiang Feng slowly sat up, looking down at this woman who had given everything for him, his heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.

He silently covered her with her clothes before standing up.

He could feel that his body had undergone a rebirth.

It was an unprecedented strength.

It seemed as if, if he wanted, a single finger could pierce through this sky.

He gently clenched his fist.

Crackle!

The air in his palm was actually crushed, emitting a crisp explosion!

This was... the power of the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Technique!

Jiang Feng put on his clothes, unable to bear looking at the beauty behind him again, fearing that one more glance would make him fall, so he could only walk step by step toward the water-like screen of light at the end of the stone chamber.

In the illusion, the scene of the Jiang Family flowing with blood was a nightmare he could not shake off no matter what.

He had to go back!

However, just as he raised his fist, preparing to blast open the barrier, his movements paused.

He slowly turned his head to look at the woman on the stone bed who was still closing her eyes, with teardrops still hanging on her eyelashes.

Should he take her with him?

As soon as the thought arose, the Purple-Skirt Woman's words echoed in his mind.

"People of the Yunmeng Marsh carry the brand of this realm in their Bloodline; to leave is to die."

Jiang Feng could not bear to leave just like this, but he could not gamble with her life!

A trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthless determination.

Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze, no longer having any hesitation.

He took a sharp breath, gathering all the power of the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Technique onto his right fist!

"Open... for me!"

He threw a punch!

The indestructible screen of light that had blocked his attacks countless times, under this punch, silently and without a sound, revealed a huge hole.

On the other side of the hole was the familiar yet strange aura of the Spirit Realm!

Jiang Feng did not look back and stepped into it.

Just at the last moment of passing through the screen of light, he left behind a sentence that was light as a feather, yet heavy as Mount Tai.

"Wait for me."

As the words fell, his figure completely disappeared.

On the stone bed, Shangguan Wuqing slowly opened her eyes, looking at the hole that was rapidly healing, a line of clear tears sliding silently down the corner of her eye.

It was also at this moment.

The entire Yunmeng Marsh continent shook violently once again!

Above the sky, in that huge projected screen of light, all living beings saw with their own eyes.

That white-haired man, after a brief disappearance, appeared once again!

With just one punch, he completely shattered the end of the world, the firmament of them all!

A pitch-black passage leading to an unknown world appeared on the canopy of the sky.

Little Queen Jin Xi of the Shenfeng Tribe, the number one beauty of the Ice and Snow Tribe, and the clansmen of countless tribes all stared blankly at that white-haired man as he stepped into that unknown darkness.
