66: Chapter 65 The Invincible Golden Body Technique

Lin Feng's physical changes continued, the golden light spreading rapidly across his entire body like a spark that ignited a prairie fire. As this crimson-gold flame ignited, Sect Master Du Busi's heart skipped a beat in terror.

"Is this… the Gold-Burning Fire?"

As the Sect Master of the Body Sect, he was naturally no stranger to this golden flame. It was precisely the Gold-Burning Fire, a flame that could only be cultivated by practicing the Invincible Golden Body Art.

Using the power of Qi and blood as fuel and the Physical Body as a furnace, it burns and tempers the skin, flesh, bones, and blood. Only by tempering the entire body into a golden physique can the Invincible Golden Body reach Major Achievement!

Sect Master Du Busi swallowed hard. This damn Cultivation Technique, could it really be successfully cultivated?!

Lin Feng's performance shattered Sect Master Du Busi's worldview. In fact, he had a fairly deep understanding of this Cultivation Technique.

Back then, he was arrogant and proud, and had once wanted to practice it, but it was too demanding on the Physical Body, and he hadn't met the requirements.

Ever since the Ancestral Master who created it passed away, no one had successfully cultivated it in the hundreds to thousands of years that followed. It could only be left to gather dust in the deepest part of the Scripture Pavilion.

Only after Lin Feng arrived was this Invincible Golden Body Art picked up by him again and handed to Lin Feng to Cultivate.

When he first obtained the Invincible Golden Body Art, he had complained about how harsh the cultivation conditions were. Not only were there extremely strict requirements for the power of the Physical Body, but it also required a massive amount of resources to support the execution of the Cultivation Technique.

Sect Master Du Busi had once made calculations: if someone truly met the requirements for Physical Body strength, they would need to spend the resources of at least a dozen Silver-grade Awakenings to successfully enter the introductory stage of the Invincible Golden Body Art.

And to reach Minor Achievement, it would require the resources needed for three Gold-grade Awakenings. As for Major Achievement… if his calculations back then were correct, the resources consumed would be so vast that even the entire Body Sect couldn't hold them.

When he gave this Cultivation Technique to Lin Feng, it was just with the attitude of giving it a try. Even the Ancestral Master who created the Cultivation Technique was only recorded as having reached Minor Achievement; even the Body Sect could not afford the resources consumed by the Major Achievement of the golden body.

But even so, that Ancestral Master's strength and cultivation Realm could be called invincible in the current World. At that time, the number one person on the continent couldn't even last a hundred moves against him before being easily defeated, which goes to show the terrifying nature of the Invincible Golden Body Art.

However, the aftereffects were also terrifying. The resources consumed to create the Invincible Golden Body were simply too great. After the Ancestral Master passed away, the Body Sect declined rapidly and only gradually regained its vitality after several hundred years.

Thinking of this, Sect Master Du Busi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Oh no, I've personally created a gold-devouring beast!

"Oh no, my family fortune, my foundation, my Body Sect…"

"Ah!!!"

Just at this moment, a heart-wrenching roar suddenly pulled his thoughts back to reality. Sect Master Du Busi woke up with a start, eyes wide as he looked at Lin Feng.

The Gold-Burning Fire burned fiercely. Lin Feng only felt as if his entire body had fallen into molten lava. The scorching gilded flames burned his Physical Body and Soul, causing his face to gradually twist and distort.

Sect Master Du Busi used his Soul Power to condense into a thread, transmitting it into Lin Feng's ears, "Xiao Feng, hold on! This is the Gold-Burning Fire tempering your Physical Body. Persist, and it will be of great benefit to you!"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and nodded, forcing himself to endure.

The Gold-Burning Fire burned bit by bit from his body surface into his body. His internal organs were now like burning firewood, constantly emitting gilded flames.

"This… is fucking painful…"

Lin Feng roared in agony. Although he could feel his entire body becoming tougher under the tempering of the gilded flames, this kind of pain was something no one would want to experience again.

The internal organs were originally the most fragile organs of the human body. After several reinforcements from the Blood Spring and the gold of life, their strength was already quite high.

But under the tempering of this gilded fire, he once again felt the sensation of being roasted by fire, as if he were a mere mortal.

The Gold-Burning Fire surged into his body unstoppably, instantly causing Lin Feng's heart to swell several times over. The sound of his heartbeat boomed like a war drum, and the indescribable pain almost occupied all of Lin Feng's consciousness.

He trembled, using the last ounce of his strength to desperately operate the Invincible Golden Body Art and the Divine Thunder Body Refining Art.

Although the execution methods of the two were different and their powers unrelated, he was unsure if operating them together would cause the Cultivation Techniques to clash, leading to his body exploding and dying.

But Lin Feng couldn't care about that anymore. The only thought in his mind right now was to operate the Cultivation Techniques to alleviate his pain. Even if he were to die in the next moment, he didn't want to die in pain!

The gilded flames, like flowing blood, went straight to Lin Feng's limbs and bones. Everywhere they passed, all the flesh and blood ignited. The third vertical pupil on his forehead also suddenly reacted, quickly opening, and green light surged wildly!

The massive vitality and energy stimulated the newly born flesh and blood to grow crazily, then the new flesh and blood were burned away again. It was a recurring cycle, growing brand new flesh and blood.

If the Ancestral Master who created the Cultivation Technique saw Sect Master Du Busi standing by indifferently, he would probably have the urge to hammer him into the ground on the spot!

The tempering process of the Gold-Burning Fire requires massive vitality and energy to aid recovery; otherwise, the moment the fire burns the flesh and blood away, it would be the moment the host perishes.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Feng possessed the Eye of Life, which could provide massive vitality and energy, he likely wouldn't have been able to last even a short while under this Gold-Burning Fire before perishing.

And Sect Master Du Busi was unaware of this, and even Lin Feng was unaware, because the Cultivation Technique didn't mention this point at all!

Sect Master Du Busi only saw its consumption and power, but had absolutely no awareness of the danger and death within it.

It could be said that the Ancestral Master, by his own hand, almost doomed Lin Feng and Sect Master Du Busi to death together...

After repeated tempering by the Gold-Burning Fire, the newly born flesh and blood were finally able to resist the burning of the Gold-Burning Fire. The internal organs also benefited, becoming tougher than ever before, to the point where ordinary swords could not cut through them at all.

However, by this time, Lin Feng could no longer sense the condition of his body. The intense pain had submerged his will, leaving only the two Cultivation Techniques still operating synchronously.

...

Outside, as the Gold-Burning Fire on Lin Feng's body surface gradually extinguished, Sect Master Du Busi finally dared to approach cautiously.

This Gold-Burning Fire had a natural restraining effect on Spirit Masters like them who prioritized Physical Body strength, simply because it used human Qi and blood power as fuel.

The stronger the Qi and blood power, the more this Gold-Burning Fire would cling like a maggot to the bone, with no way to extinguish it. Either adapt to this Gold-Burning Fire through tempering and burning, or be burned alive—it was that simple!

As the specks of the Gold-Burning Fire were extinguished by Sect Master Du Busi using Soul Power, he reached out and held his cheap disciple.

Looking at the face of the other, who had fallen into a coma, he sighed lightly in his heart, and then floated toward the surface of the sea.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had also arrived at the snowy plains on time as promised, yet the two people who usually started a fire to cook by this time were nowhere to be seen.

A moment later, a huge splash suddenly rose from the sea, and Sect Master Du Busi flew from the sea toward the snowy plains, carrying Lin Feng.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at the two people flying from the sea, and the third vertical pupil above her forehead actually had a faint tendency to appear, as if something was attracting her.

Sect Master Du Busi saw the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and flew toward her with Lin Feng.

"Little Golden Fur, it's you again…"

Sect Master Du Busi chuckled and casually threw Lin Feng onto the ground. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion saw the third eye revealed on Lin Feng's forehead, her pupils suddenly constricted, and her heart rate accelerated.
