312: Chapter 312 Physical Prodigy

Myriad Weight Hegemon Body, fully operational!

Boom, boom, boom!

Wind blades slashed against his body and shattered! Poison mist eroded his skin, but it was ineffective! The Mad Clan's battle-axe cleaved into his shoulder and cracked! The Charm Clan's mental attack invaded his Sea of Consciousness, only to be instantly crushed by his overbearing will!

In the face of his Physical Body, which was powerful to the extreme, all the attacks were like an itch, completely unable to cause him any substantial harm.

But just then, a black shadow suddenly emerged from behind him!

The Shadow Demon Clan's assassination battle soul had finally made its move!

It held a dagger condensed from the power of darkness. Cold light flickered on the dagger, clearly making it a Sharp Weapon specifically designed to break through defenses. It silently stabbed the dagger toward Gao Feng's back heart, one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body!

Puchi!

The dagger stabbed into Gao Feng's body!

However, the dagger only entered less than half an inch before it could no longer advance a single bit. Gao Feng's back muscles instantly tightened, clamping the dagger firmly and preventing it from going any deeper.

A flash of horror crossed the assassination battle soul's eyes. It wanted to pull back and retreat, but it was already too late.

Gao Feng suddenly turned around, his right hand shooting out like lightning, grabbing the assassination battle soul by the neck!

“The Shadow Demon Clan's assassination techniques are indeed strange. But your cultivation is too low.”

He spoke coldly, and his hand suddenly exerted force!

Crack!

The assassination battle soul's neck snapped at the sound, and its entire form dissipated into bits of black smoke.

Another battle soul projection had fallen!

A hint of fear finally appeared in the eyes of the remaining seven battle soul projections. They instinctively retreated a few steps, not daring to step forward easily again.

Gao Feng did not give them a chance to catch their breath. He slammed his feet onto the ground, and his entire person turned into a golden stream of light, charging into the group of battle souls!

He was like a fierce tiger charging into a flock of sheep; wherever he passed, the battle soul projections shattered one after another!

A punch shattered the Wind Clan battle soul, a kick crushed the Mad Clan battle soul, a palm strike smashed the Poison Clan battle soul, an elbow strike broke the Charm Clan battle soul...

In the blink of an eye, four more battle soul projections had fallen!

At this moment, only three battle soul projections remained standing before him—the Rock Demon Clan's defense battle soul, the Star Clan's spatial battle soul that had never made a move, and a Shadow Demon Clan battle soul that had appeared at some unknown time.

The Rock Demon Clan's defense battle soul saw that things were going poorly and immediately unleashed its strongest defense. Runes flashed crazily on its thick rock armor, and layer upon layer of defense Formations unfolded before it, forming an indestructible barrier.

Meanwhile, the Star Clan's spatial battle soul finally completed its spatial cage. A massive transparent cage descended from the sky, enveloping Gao Feng within it. Inside that cage, space was completely locked down, making it impossible to move, impossible to attack, and even making it impossible to circulate one's Qi!

This was one of the Star Clan's most powerful control Spells—Spatial Imprisonment!

Gao Feng only felt his body stiffen, as if he were fixed in place, unable to move. The power of that Spatial Imprisonment was extremely strong; with his current strength, he was actually unable to break free!

The Shadow Demon Clan battle soul seized this opportunity to strike again. This time, it performed the Shadow Demon Clan's most powerful assassination technique—Shadow Kill! Its form turned into a black shadow and instantly appeared behind Gao Feng. The dagger condensed from the power of darkness stabbed fiercely toward Gao Feng's throat!

This strike was both fast and ruthless, almost unavoidable!

However, at the very moment the dagger was about to pierce Gao Feng's throat, a terrifying power suddenly erupted within his body!

That power was a brand-new power generated after the perfect Fusion of the Myriad Weight Hegemon Body and the Star Battle Body! That power was enough to shake space and break free from all restraints!

Boom!

The spatial cage instantly shattered!

Gao Feng turned around abruptly and threw a punch with his right hand!

This punch contained all of his strength, all of his comprehension of the Myriad Weight Hegemon Body, and all the hardships and persistence he had faced along this journey!

The golden fist radiance sliced through the Void Realm and slammed heavily into that Shadow Demon Clan battle soul!

Boom!

The Shadow Demon Clan battle soul didn't even have time to scream before it was pounded into dust by this punch!

At this moment, only the last two battle soul projections remained before Gao Feng—the Rock Demon Clan's defense battle soul and the Star Clan's spatial battle soul.

The Rock Demon Clan's defense battle soul's expression changed drastically. It finally realized that it was simply not a match for this human. It turned to flee but was caught by Gao Feng in a single step.

One punch!

The Rock Demon Clan battle soul, which claimed to have the strongest defense, was directly shattered by this punch along with its thick rock armor!

Finally, only the Star Clan's spatial battle soul remained.

It stood there quietly, watching Gao Feng walk toward it step by step. There was no fear in its eyes; instead, a complex expression flashed through them.

“You are very strong.”

It spoke slowly, its voice hollow and ethereal. “With a cultivation of Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Layer Four, you withstood the siege of ten battle soul projections and remained unscathed. The strength of your Physical Body ranks in the top three among all the Human Race Cultivators I have ever seen.”

Gao Feng stopped walking and looked at it without speaking.

The Star Clan battle soul continued: “According to the rules, since you could defeat our ten projections, you are qualified to obtain the Legacy of the Myriad Races Battle Soul Art. But I must remind you that this Myriad Races Battle Soul Art is no ordinary Cultivation Technique. It allows you to extract the power of the battle souls of myriad clans and integrate it into yourself, but if your will is not firm enough, you will be eroded by the resentment of those battle souls, eventually leading to Qi Deviation and eternal damnation.”

Gao Feng said indifferently: “My will is much firmer than you imagine.”

The Star Clan battle soul nodded and said: “In that case, then go.”

It stepped aside, revealing the massive stone tablet behind it.

Gao Feng strode forward and pressed his hand against the stone tablet.

The moment his palm touched the stone tablet, it suddenly erupted with brilliant light! Within that light, countless battle soul phantoms emerged—there were those of the Demonic Flame Clan, the Rock Demon Clan, the Shadow Demon Clan, the Star Clan, the Wind Clan, the Mad Clan... They circled around Gao Feng, letting out bursts of roars as if they wanted to devour him!

Gao Feng only felt surges of violent Battle Intent pouring into his Sea of Consciousness. Within that Battle Intent were the obsessions, resentments, unwillingness, and anger of those battle souls from when they were alive... All sorts of negative emotions surged toward him like a tide, attempting to erode his mind!

But he held his mind steady, his will like iron. He allowed those negative emotions to wash over him, remaining completely unmoved throughout!

“My heart is like the stars, eternal and unchanging!”

He gave a low shout, and the golden light within his body erupted once more, shattering all the battle soul phantoms!

After the battle soul phantoms were shattered, they turned into streams of pure battle soul power that poured into his body. That battle soul power fused with his Qi, causing his cultivation to skyrocket instantly!

Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Layer Four, Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Late Stage!

When the battle soul power was completely absorbed by him, his cultivation actually broke through to the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Late Stage in one go!

At the same time, the text on the stone tablet also turned into streams of light that poured into his Sea of Consciousness. That was the complete Myriad Races Battle Soul Art Cultivation Technique, including how to extract battle soul power, how to fuse battle soul power, and how to command battle soul power...

Gao Feng slowly opened his eyes. Within those eyes, it was as if infinite stars were contained, brilliant and dazzling.

He turned to look at the Star Clan battle soul, only to find that it had already dissipated, leaving only a faint voice echoing in the hall:

“Those who can enter this layer are all one-in-a-million Physical Body Prodigies. This old man leaves this Legacy here, hoping you will use the battle soul power well to protect the Human Realm.”

Gao Feng bowed solemnly toward the direction where the voice had dissipated.

Then, he turned and walked toward the depths of the hall. There was a faint silver light there, which was the entrance to the fourth layer.

Gao Feng stood in the center of the hall, with the golden afterglow from just absorbing the battle soul power still lingering around him. His cultivation had stabilized at the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Late Stage, and his entire aura was several times stronger than before.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, an old voice suddenly came from the depths of the hall.

“To be able to walk to this step, you indeed did not let this old man down.”

That voice was low and heavy, as if it had transmigrated from infinite years ago, carrying an indescribable sense of vicissitude.

Gao Feng's heart jolted, and he hurriedly turned to look. He saw a phantom figure slowly emerge from the darkness at the deepest part of the hall.

It was a white-haired old man with a hunched figure and a withered face, but his eyes were as brilliant as the stars, as if they could see through all the falsehoods in the world.

The old man wore a simple and ancient robe embroidered with various profound runes. Those runes faintly emitted a soft golden light, exactly like the runes on the battle soul statues Gao Feng had seen before.

“Junior Gao Feng pays respects to Senior.” Gao Feng hurriedly bowed in greeting.

The old man waved his hand and said: “No need for such formalities. This old man is but a wisp of a remnant soul, waiting here for infinite years just to find a successor who can inherit my Myriad Races Battle Soul Art.”

He looked Gao Feng up and down, his eyes full of admiration, and said: “For you to be able to defeat ten battle soul projections with a cultivation of Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Layer Four, the strength of your Physical Body and the firmness of your will far exceed this old man's expectations. Passing this Myriad Races Battle Soul Art to you, this old man can rest easy.”

Gao Feng was overjoyed and bowed again: “Thank you, Senior, for fulfilling this.”

The old man smiled slightly and pointed toward the stone tablet from a distance. The stone tablet immediately erupted with even more brilliant light. Within that light, countless profound characters flew out like living things, rearranging themselves in the air, eventually turning into a golden stream of light that entered the point between Gao Feng's eyebrows.

What poured into Gao Feng's Sea of Consciousness this time was even more complete and detailed than before. It was the full Legacy of the Myriad Races Battle Soul Art. It not only contained the methods for extracting battle soul power but also how to fuse different battle soul powers, how to command battle soul power, how to use battle soul power to temper one's body, and even how to pass battle soul power to others, how to use battle soul power to set up Formations, and so on—it was all-encompassing and had everything.

Gao Feng closed his eyes to comprehend, and only after a long time did he slowly open them. His eyes were filled with the light of realization.

“Thank you, Senior.” He bowed solemnly once more.
