28: Foundation Building Monster 2

"I'll risk it!" Lin Feng did not retreat; instead, he advanced, pushing his Treading Wave Step to the extreme. The instant the ice claw descended, he narrowly slipped past the edge of its icy wind! The bone-chilling cold nearly froze half of his body rigid! Simultaneously, he swung his right hand violently!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

His three remaining, most powerful Ice Spike Talismans were flung out, but their target was not the Mystic Ice Heavy Armor Turtle. Instead, it was the Crimson Flame Poison Lizard, which was trapped in the earth prison and frantically spewing venomous flames to burn through the walls!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Three chilling ice spikes, about a foot long, screamed through the air and precisely pierced the relatively vulnerable scales on the Crimson Flame Poison Lizard's belly! The clash of ice and fire resulted in a violent explosion!

"Hiss-roar—!!!" Caught off guard, the Crimson Flame Poison Lizard let out an extremely shrill shriek of agony! The intense pain instantly drove it mad. It frantically slammed against the earth prison, no longer spewing venomous flames from its mouth, but rather a bloody mist mixed with fragments of its internal organs!

This utterly tragic roar, in the silent battlefield, was like a lighthouse in the dark night!

The Mystic Ice Heavy Armor Turtle's cold vertical pupils were indeed drawn by the sudden, close-range shriek of a Yao Beast of its same Realm, causing it to instinctively shift its gaze by a thousandth of a second!

Now!

All of Lin Feng's will, all of his desire to survive, transformed into an invisible sharp blade at the critical moment, fiercely slashing towards the Mystic Ice Heavy Armor Turtle.

Demon Slayer!

"Demon Slayer! Slay for me!!!"

Divine Power -1!

The last flicker of light representing Divine Power in his Sea of Consciousness completely extinguished!

A tremendous sense of emptiness and tearing pain instantly swept through his entire body! It felt as if his entire Divine Soul had been drained dry! His vision suddenly went black, blood spilled from his nose and mouth, and his body swayed precariously!

However, just as this feeling of exhaustion surged and his consciousness almost succumbed—

"Clang—!!!"

A terrifying sword hum, clear enough to tear the sky and pierce through the Nine Netherworlds, erupted from the fenshui sword in Lin Feng's hand!

On the dark blue sword body, dazzling dark golden light burst forth like the core of a sun that had been suppressed for billions of years! The light was so scorching that it instantly dispelled the extreme cold brought by the Mystic Ice Heavy Armor Turtle, illuminating the entire fog-shrouded reef area as if it were daytime!

A terrifyingly sharp aura, far surpassing the Foundation Establishment and reaching the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, descended upon the world, carrying the majestic Heavenly Dao power to eradicate all demonic influences and evil, and shatter all Dharma!

The sword was no longer a sword! It seemed to have transformed into a blade of judgment condensed from the Heavenly Dao's will! Even space itself slightly twisted under this power!

Lin Feng felt that his arm, his body, and even his Soul, had become the vessel for this terrifying power! He was merely a catalyst, a medium! All his movements became instinctive, all his thoughts transformed into killing intent!

Slay!

There was no technique, no Move. There was only an extremely pure, extremely condensed dark golden sword light, like the first ray of light that split heaven and earth, tearing through space, ignoring time, carrying the will to sever Karma and shatter Reincarnation, precisely and silently slashing towards the Mystic Ice Heavy Armor Turtle's relatively weaker defense—the gap between its neck and shell—exposed by its momentary Divided Soul!

Fast! Extremely fast!

For the first time, an emotion called "horror" appeared in the Mystic Ice Heavy Armor Turtle's cold vertical pupils! It felt a fatal threat!

It wanted to retract its head, it wanted to activate its protective Mystic Ice! But, it was too late!

That dark golden sword light seemed to have crossed the distance of space, reaching its body the instant the thought arose!

Puff!

A faint, almost negligible sound, like a hot knife cutting through solidified butter, was heard.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The Mystic Ice Heavy Armor Turtle's massive body suddenly stiffened.

At its neck, covered by thick, dark blue ice armor and seemingly impenetrable, a hair-thin dark golden line suddenly appeared.

The next moment.

Crash—!!!

Like a collapsing glacier! The Mystic Ice Heavy Armor Turtle's body, as massive as a small mountain, along with its proud, heavy shell that could withstand attacks from the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, silently and cleanly split into two halves from that thin line on its neck!

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, with not a single drop of blood splattered. Only wisps of destructive dark golden aura remained at the edges, evaporating and annihilating the surging seawater into large vacuums! The two heavy halves of the corpse crashed into the sea, stirring up monstrous waves!

A Foundation Establishment Yao Beast, fallen!

"Ugh!" Lin Feng could no longer support himself. His legs went weak, and he heavily knelt on one knee in the icy cold seawater. The fenshui sword slipped from his hand and stuck into a crevice in the reef. The world-destroying dark golden light on the sword body had vanished, and the crack on the sword's spine seemed to have deepened slightly.

He gasped for air, each breath like pulling a broken bellows, carrying a strong smell of blood. His vision swam, his Sea of Consciousness was empty and throbbing, and his Meridians felt like they were being burned by a raging fire, sending tearing pain throughout his body! Forcibly activating power far beyond his own Realm resulted in extremely severe backlash!

"Roar!!!" Just then, the trapped Crimson Flame Poison Lizard finally burst through the crumbling earth prison, charging towards the weakened Lin Feng with monstrous rage and venomous flames! Though injured, its ferocity burned even brighter!

"Evil beast! You seek death!" A fierce glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he forcefully gathered his last bit of spiritual Qi! He slammed his hand on the ground, his body springing up like a wounded leopard. He made a grabbing motion with his right hand, and the demon binding hook transformed into a dark blue lightning bolt, striking first despite being launched later, piercing precisely through the Crimson Flame Poison Lizard's massive, venomous-flame-spewing mouth!

"Come here!" Lin Feng roared, unleashing the terrifying power of his Body Refining Seventh Level, combined with the demon binding hook's binding force, forcefully halting the poison lizard's charge in mid-air!

At the same time, his left hand had already snatched up the fenshui sword from the ground! Although the restraining aura of the passive Demon Slayer was weak due to the depletion of Divine Power, it still existed! A faint golden glow once again lit up on the sword's edge!

"Thirteen Forms of Clear Wind—Wave Sever!"

The sword light, like a bolt of silk, carried all of Lin Feng's power and killing intent, piercing fiercely into the Crimson Flame Poison Lizard's mouth and through its brain, following the wound torn open by the demon binding hook!

"Woo..." The Crimson Flame Poison Lizard let out a short whimper. Its massive body twitched a few times, the fierce light in its eyes rapidly dimmed, and it crashed to the ground.

The battle ended!

Almost at the instant the two Yao Beasts died!

Buzz! Buzz!

Two energy streams, far thicker, purer, and containing more vigorous life essence than any previous ones, rose from the two massive Yao Beast corpses like two roaring green Dragons! One was scorching and chaotic, the other cold and heavy, yet both were purified by an invisible force, leaving only the purest Origin power! They ignored spatial distance and instantly entered the center of Lin Feng's brows as he knelt in the seawater, utterly weakened!
