10: Chapter 10 Main Sect

"Master… could you please put your clothes on first?"

The Holy Unicorn watched Lin Feng walking naked on the mountain Peak, his little bird bouncing with every step, and she hurriedly turned away.

Her voice made Lin Feng freeze. Coming to his senses, he realized he was standing naked on the mountain Peak, letting it all hang out.

Even with his calm mindset in the face of the Lightning Tribulation, his old face couldn't help but flush red at this moment.

With a wave of his arm, he retrieved a new set of clothes from his spirit tool storage and put them on. After taking a deep breath, he gradually calmed his agitated emotions.

Lin Feng said to the Holy Unicorn, "Xiaoguang, I'm leaving. You should go back to your tribe as well. The power of the Undergoing Tribulation just now was too great; many people have noticed this place."

"It would be best for you to leave as soon as possible."

After hearing this, the Holy Unicorn shook her head gently. "Master, I want to follow you."

Lin Feng stood there stunned. How did he end up gaining a follower just by Undergoing Tribulation?

"Don't you have your own tribe? Why follow me?" Lin Feng asked, puzzled. Shouldn't you be celebrating after a Breakthrough?

How did the old saying go? Returning home without showing off one's success is like wearing fine clothes in the dark!

The Holy Unicorn said, "Now that my strength has had a Breakthrough, I can easily find a successor. I want to follow you to Cultivate; it will be of great help to me."

Lin Feng clicked his tongue, pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Arrange it as you see fit, but I'll say this in advance: if you follow me, I don't have much to give you."

"At most, I'll let you take a few extra bites after I hunt some prey."

"Thank you, Master! I'll go make arrangements right away!" The Holy Unicorn was overjoyed. With a flap of her wings, she flew off into the distance.

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, shrugged, and then hid himself within the mountain range.

The commotion caused earlier was too great. Now that the Lightning Tribulation had ended, there was no guarantee that some ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast wouldn't come into the Spirit Beast mountain range to investigate.

Although he wasn't afraid, why not save some effort if he could?

Half a day later, the Holy Unicorn found Lin Feng through the mark.

"Is everything arranged properly?" Lin Feng asked.

"Master, everything is arranged!" The Holy Unicorn nodded.

"Do you have any enemies in the Spirit Beast mountain range? Since I'm leaving, I might as well help you settle the score on the way." Lin Feng stretched his body.

"Yes. There is a Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion with a cultivation level close to mine. It has repeatedly broken into my tribe to hunt my kin. I hate it to the bone," the Holy Unicorn said through gritted teeth.

"Alright, let's take it out."

Lin Feng didn't object. It was a good chance to find an enemy to practice on before leaving and test out his newly Acquired Power of Thunder.

With that, Lin Feng leaped onto her back, and the Holy Unicorn carried him deep into the Spirit Beast mountain range to seek revenge on the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion.

...

An hour later, the Holy Unicorn landed slowly, and Lin Feng jumped down.

Before them was a deep, massive cave, five meters high and seven meters wide, looking incredibly imposing.

"Master, this is the nest of the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion," the Holy Unicorn said.

Lin Feng said, "Lure it out!"

The Holy Unicorn nodded, slowly lowering her head, and her spiral horn began to glow with a milky white light.

The light was initially as faint as a morning star, but it quickly brightened. It flowed from the tip to the base, and the entire long horn transformed into a brilliant cone of light.

She lifted her head gently, and a beam of pure Holy Light shot from the tip of her horn, silent and soundless, like the dawn piercing the veil of night.

Wherever the Holy Light passed, the darkness within the cave melted away as quickly as snow.

"Hiss!"

A furious beast's roar and hiss erupted from the cave. The sound waves were tangible; one could clearly see a circle of golden ripples rising and falling like a vast tsunami, crashing like waves against the shore.

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed. With a wave of his hand, scarlet lightning armor covered him, blocking the terrifying sound waves. The Holy Unicorn radiated Holy Light, isolating the sound waves outside.

The golden waves swept past, and the low stone hills at the cave entrance instantly exploded into powder. The power was terrifying.

The next moment, the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion crawled out from the cave. Its size was soul-shaking; its eight scorpion legs were thick and sturdy, and every time its pair of golden pincers landed, it carried the force of a landslide.

The golden scorpion tail was like a sharp barb, dancing back and forth in the air. The tail hook gleamed with a cold light, looking particularly chilling.

"So this is the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion?"

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. Just from its appearance and Aura, it was clearly not simple. Furthermore, it had previously unleashed a sound wave attack, so it likely carried some spirit attributes as well.

Without further ado, Lin Feng let his Soul Power surge wildly within him. In his left palm, the Thunder Prison Vine instantly expanded and grew.

In just a moment, Lin Feng looked like a flower bud, with the Thunder Prison Vine blooming beside him. Scarlet Lightning Tribulation crackled on the vines, the power astonishing.

The Thunder Prison Vine could not only absorb but also shoot!

Sensing the Lightning Tribulation Aura on the Thunder Prison Vine, the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion's golden vertical pupils constricted, and a flash of human-like wariness appeared on its face.

Upon seeing the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion, the Holy Unicorn's eyes revealed hatred. Her long horn began to gather light; this time, it was not a soft white light, but a golden-white as blinding as the sun.

The light was sudden and unbearable to look at!

Her body began to levitate, her four hooves leaving the ground. Her milky white mane and tail fur rose upward as a miniature sun gradually took shape, spinning continuously and illuminating the entire sky as if it were daylight.

At this moment, the Holy Unicorn opened her eyes. Her eyes had completely turned into light, without any pupils. She lifted her head to the sky, her long horn pointing toward the firmament.

The miniature sun shot into the sky, piercing the clouds, and then countless golden beams of light descended from the heavens, pouring down like a rainstorm. Each beam of light locked precisely onto the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion, unleashing a saturation attack.

This was another great talent that the Holy Unicorn awakened after becoming a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast—Dawn's Light!

Don't think that the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion was not far from the hundred-thousand-year limit; the gap between it and the Holy Unicorn had now become a chasm of difference.

No matter how powerful it was without having passed the Lightning Tribulation, it was still just a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast, whereas the Holy Unicorn had already become a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.

The moment the beams of light landed, there was no explosion. Instead, it was like a red-hot iron rod inserted into butter; silently, it left smooth, deep pits on the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion's armor, and its whole body began to steam.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss…"

The Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion let out a heart-wrenching roar. From its armor to its flesh, it turned into glowing dust inch by inch, dissipating into the air.

Lin Feng was also startled. What a powerful skill! Holy Light—this was a major weapon against evil Spirit Masters!

Watching the miserable state of the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion, Lin Feng felt a twinge of pity. Such a pathetic scorpion. Never mind, let Brother Feng be a good person for once and give it a quick end!

Lin Feng slowly raised his hand and extended a finger toward the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion.

"Zzz."

With a faint sound, a scarlet lightning beam shot from his fingertip, striking the armor on the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion's chest and piercing right through it.

The Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion looked down to see a bloody hole that had nearly pierced its body appearing on its chest. Intense, agonizing pain struck instantly, and it collapsed to the ground, unable to rise, on the verge of death.

Without any extra movements, just a single beam of lightning, the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion was severely wounded.

Lin Feng was also startled by the power of the Lightning Tribulation and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Beside him, the Holy Unicorn moved away from the Lightning Tribulation light radiating from his body with wariness, deep fear appearing in her eyes.

"Uh…"

Lin Feng smiled awkwardly and immediately retracted the scarlet Lightning Tribulation. Blue-purple lightning once again lit up on the Thunder Prison Vine.

"Hiss."

The Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion's front pincers struggled and moved, but at this point, it was taking in more air than it was letting out. It likely wouldn't be long before it breathed its last.

"Master, should we kill it?" the Holy Unicorn glanced at the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion and asked.

"It's up to you. I don't care."

Lin Feng shrugged. For him, he just wanted to find a test subject to experiment with his newly Acquired scarlet Lightning Tribulation; whether it died or not didn't matter to him.

It was just a slight pity in his heart; its cultivation was approaching a hundred thousand years, making it an excellent "talent" for summoning heavenly lightning.

But he had just absorbed a Lightning Tribulation, so he certainly couldn't do it again in the short term.

Killing it was a bit of a waste.

Not killing it meant he would have to imprison and keep it, waiting several months before he could absorb a Lightning Tribulation again.

Rather than wasting that time, it would be better to find another Spirit Beast on the verge of a Breakthrough. Three-legged toads are hard to find, but aren't three-legged frogs easy to find?

At worst, he could return to the Far North; there were plenty of Spirit Beasts there on the verge of a Breakthrough, so he wouldn't have to worry at all.

"Then let's finish it off, lest it run out again and harm other tribes," the Holy Unicorn said.

"Alright, then kill it!"

Lin Feng didn't object. As he walked up and was about to land the killing blow on the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion, a sound suddenly came from the forest a kilometer away.

"Young friend, wait! Spare the beast!"

The next moment, five figures jumped out from the dense grass, and in a few flashes, they arrived before him.

Alarm bells rang in Lin Feng's heart. The Thunder Prison Vine appeared in his palm once again, and powerful scarlet Lightning Tribulation light flashed and thundered on the vine.

Judging by how these people suddenly revealed their tracks, they must have been hiding since he started attacking the Crimson Gold Demon Scorpion, waiting for an opportunity. He didn't know if they were friends or foes!

In his perception, the old man leading them was exceptionally powerful. Anyone who could cause him such a sense of oppression was definitely a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse.

Thinking of this, he no longer hid his cultivation. His level 48 Peak Soul Power fluctuations surged out, and four spirit rings—two purple and two black—instantly rose slowly from his feet, their light flickering faintly.

It seemed that if the other party made even the slightest move, he would strike with full force. The scarlet Lightning Tribulation light would raze the entire area to the ground. Perhaps the old man might survive, but the other four might not.
