749: Chapter 749 Jin Feng: If this continues, I risk my demise!
"What kind of skill is this?!!" Grandmaster Jin Feng's voice came from within the Golden Body, his tone carrying, for the first time, undisguised terror.
He could clearly sense that after the power of his Golden Body had been weakened layer by layer by this strange Five Elements Seal, the strength it could unleash now was not much stronger than his base state.
A Rank 6 Peak junior actually possessed a Heaven-Defying Seal capable of weakening a Grandmaster's Golden Body; this completely exceeded the scope of his understanding.
Just at that moment, the Five Elements Wonderful Tree in the sky had already launched its second wave of attacks.
Those sky-covering five-colored branches waved in unison, and the Five Elements power of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth rapidly condensed and compressed in front of the canopy, forming a five-colored spirit spear several zhang long in the blink of an eye.
Immediately, the branches of the Five Elements Wonderful Tree swung forward violently, and that five-colored spirit spear tore through the sky like a five-colored meteor, shooting thunderously toward the Radiant Gold Golden Body suppressed by the Seal.
Feeling the terrifying power contained within that five-colored spirit spear, Grandmaster Jin Feng's pupils shrank sharply.
He wanted to dodge, but the layer of Earth element Seal surrounding him, heavy as a mountain, made it impossible for him to move an inch.
Avoiding this blow was simply impossible.
With no way to avoid it, Grandmaster Jin Feng could only grit his teeth, forcibly circulate the True Qi in his body, and swing the giant long spear in his hand to stab head-on at the incoming five-colored spirit spear.
"Boom—!"
The two spirit spears collided thunderously in mid-air, five-colored light and golden light intertwining wildly, and the resulting shockwave of energy sent the surrounding dark red dust flying dozens of zhang into the sky.
However, the strength of the Radiant Gold Golden Body had been weakened to the extreme by the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal, and the power of the five-colored spirit spear far exceeded the limit he could currently withstand.
The collision lasted only for a brief moment before the massive body of the Radiant Gold Golden Body was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the dark red ground below like a golden mountain, creating yet another huge crater in the already riddled ancient battlefield.
The light surrounding the Radiant Gold Golden Body at the bottom of the crater dimmed significantly.
In the crater, Grandmaster Jin Feng, inside the Golden Body, felt the state of his Golden Body, and his heart immediately grew heavy.
The energy of the Golden Body was rapidly fading, and the originally full golden light was dimming bit by bit.
Maintaining the Golden Body itself required the consumption of a large amount of True Qi.
The Golden Body did not exist out of thin air; it required the Martial Artist to constantly channel True Qi to maintain its form and power.
The consumption rate of True Qi was directly proportional to the intensity of the Golden Body's combat—the more intense the fight, the faster the consumption.
And for a bottom-tier Grandmaster like Grandmaster Jin Feng, the burden of maintaining the Golden Body was even heavier.
His Cultivation Technique was not refined enough, his foundation was not deep enough, and his True Qi was not majestic enough.
For every quarter of an hour the Golden Body was maintained, a large portion of his True Qi would be consumed.
And he was only in the Early Stage of the Grandmaster realm; the amount of True Qi in his body was not vast, and the time he could maintain the Golden Body itself was not long. In his peak state, he could maintain the Golden Body for at most half an hour.
But now, being sealed by the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal and continuously attacked by the Five Elements Wonderful Tree, the consumption rate of the Golden Body was several times faster than usual.
And right now, he wasn't even a match for this Five Elements Wonderful Tree!
The Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal had sealed most of his strength—his spirit weapon was locked, his blood energy was locked, his True Qi was locked, his Mental Energy was locked, and his movements were locked.
He couldn't block or dodge the attacks of the Five Elements Wonderful Tree, and could only passively take a beating.
If this continued, his Golden Body would sooner or later be shattered.
"No, I must leave here. If this continues, I am at risk of falling!"
Grandmaster Jin Feng thought to himself, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.
Falling—that was something he had never imagined.
He was a Seventh-Grade Grandmaster, a person of status in the Guhen Kingdom.
He had lived for hundreds of years and had never encountered a danger that could cause him to fall.
But today, in front of a Rank 6 Peak junior, he felt the threat of death for the first time.
Immediately, Grandmaster Jin Feng controlled the Radiant Gold Golden Body to charge toward the Seal!
The ten-zhang-tall Golden Body took large strides, crashing toward the light pillar of the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal.
He wanted to break this Seal, rush out of this cage, and escape this battlefield.
However, he soon discovered that he had overestimated his own strength.
His long spear struck the surrounding Five Elements Seal light pillar, the golden Radiant Gold spirit spear colliding with the five-colored light pillar and erupting with a booming sound.
Gold and five colors intertwined, sparks flying everywhere—but that five-colored light pillar only rippled slightly before showing no further reaction.
Grandmaster Jin Feng's full-force blow, striking the Five Elements Heaven-Sealing Seal, was like an ant trying to shake a tree; it was insignificant.
Just then, the branches of the Five Elements Wonderful Tree waved, and vines shot out from them like countless green venomous snakes, winding and slithering in the air before whipping fiercely against the back of the Radiant Gold Golden Body.
"Snap—snap—snap—"
The vines whipped against the Golden Body, leaving behind streaks of five-colored intertwined lash marks.
Each lash mark carried the erosion of the Five Elements power—Metal element cutting, Wood element penetrating, Water element eroding, Fire element scorching, and Earth element crushing.
At the lash marks, the golden light dimmed rapidly, and the energy of the Golden Body was consumed bit by bit.
Grandmaster Jin Feng, inside the Golden Body, immediately felt that the Golden Body's energy had been weakened yet again!
Having no other choice, Grandmaster Jin Feng could only turn around and start to block.
He waved his long spear, golden spear shadows intertwining in the Void Realm to form a large net, cutting those incoming vines one by one.
But his defense was overwhelmed; he blocked one, but missed two; he blocked two, but missed three.
The vines became more and more numerous and dense, and the wounds on the Golden Body became more and more numerous and deep.
While blocking, Grandmaster Jin Feng spoke up: "Qin Yan, let me go. I swear, I will never cause you trouble again from now on."
In his voice, there was no longer the arrogance and disdain from before, but rather a hint of pleading and a hint of servility.
Hearing these words from Grandmaster Jin Feng, Qin Yan nearly laughed to death.
If he could win, he would want him dead; if he couldn't win, he would never cause trouble again. How could such a good thing exist in the world?
If not for the fact that he had the Five Elements Xuanhuang Bell, the Darkness Protection Spirit Talisman, the Five Elements Wonderful Tree, the Darkness Altar, and... he would have died at the hands of Grandmaster Jin Feng long ago.
Now that he couldn't win, he wanted him to let him go? Dream on.
"Grandmaster Jin Feng, say no more. Before the battle started, didn't you say you wanted to experience what it means to deserve one's punishment? Now you can have a taste of it."
Qin Yan said indifferently.
After speaking, he shifted his gaze away from Grandmaster Jin Feng and looked toward the nearby Darkness Altar.
At this moment, the black flame standing atop the altar suddenly floated up!
The flame detached from the altar, slowly rising into the air and hovering in mid-air.
It no longer flickered or surged, but became incomparably quiet, like a flower bud waiting to bloom, waiting for the moment to blossom.
In mid-air, layers of Darkness Power spread out, surging from all directions toward that flame.
