45: Chapter 45 One Sword Opens the Gate to Heaven!
"Su Feng, don't do anything foolish!"
Seeing Su Feng walk out of the great formation, the Great Qin Ancestor Ying Zheng's expression changed abruptly. It was the most genuine anxiety of an elder toward a Junior:
"You are still young! You are only twenty years old!"
"As long as you shrink back into the great formation, with your talent, in less than thirty years... No! Twenty years! You will truly be able to run rampant in the Southern Region, why risk your life now?!"
Su Feng's footsteps paused slightly. He turned his head and smiled gently at this old man who was protecting him. That smile carried the arrogance of a youth, and even more, the composure of a powerhouse:
"Old Ancestor, twenty years is too long."
"I am an impatient person; being constantly targeted by others will make me very angry."
Hearing Su Feng's words, Yang Tian opposite him was stunned for a moment, then laughed uproariously as if he had heard some huge joke:
"Hahaha! Very angry? What an arrogant brat! I originally thought you were some peerless Genius who lived in seclusion, but I didn't expect you to be an idiot whose brain was kicked by a donkey!"
"A mere Nascent Soul Early Stage, yet you dare to..."
Before Yang Tian could finish his sentence, his pupils constricted sharply.
Because Su Feng had moved.
Without any Qi fluctuations, just a light tap of his toes, Su Feng's figure vanished like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already a hundred meters away from Yang Tian!
Heaven Rank Peak Martial Skill — 【Shrinking the Ground to an Inch】!
"What kind of movement technique is this?!"
The surrounding Nascent Soul old monsters gasped in unison. They couldn't track Su Feng's trajectory at all!
But this was only the beginning.
Su Feng slowly raised his head. Within those double pupils, two purple-gold suns began to burn.
"Demon God Transformation — First Stage!"
Boom!
Su Feng did not use any Qi, but the blood and Qi in his body roared like a bursting river!
A wild and violent Aura surged into the sky. Although his cultivation level hadn't changed, that oppressive feeling instantly doubled!
"Second Stage!"
Su Feng shouted again.
The Void Realm behind him twisted. A phantom of a Demon God with three heads and six arms, wrapped in pitch-black demonic flames, slowly emerged and roared at the sky!
Su Feng's Aura surged again, directly breaking through the shackles of the Early Stage and stepping into the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
"It's not over yet."
Su Feng's lips curled up, and a flash of madness crossed his eyes.
"Third Stage!!"
Hum—!!
The heaven and earth lost their color! The Demon God phantom instantly solidified, as if it had merged with Su Feng.
Purple-black demonic patterns crawled across half of his face, making him look both sacred and demonic at this moment!
Although his Aura still remained at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, that condensed, extreme pressure made even Yang Tian feel a trace of palpitations!
"This... what secret technique is this?!"
Yang Tian's eyelids twitched wildly, and the unease in his heart grew stronger.
What kind of monster is this guy?
How is it that his Aura keeps doubling as if he's taken ancient divine blood?!
"No! Can't let him continue to build up momentum!"
Yang Tian was, after all, a veteran powerhouse. He made a prompt decision. The three-sun Magic Treasure in his hand shone brightly, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
Although it wouldn't sound good to bully the small and launch a sneak attack, if this continued, who knew what might happen!
However.
Just as his Qi began to circulate.
Su Feng smiled.
"Pure Yang Sacred Body, fully activated!"
Boom!
Within the original purple-black demonic flames, a brilliant golden light suddenly erupted!
Utterly rigid and Yang, burning everything!
"Demon God Transformation — Fourth Stage!!!"
This was the limit that Su Feng's Physical Body could currently withstand!
Crack!
It was as if some shackle had been forcibly broken.
Su Feng's cultivation, in the terrified gaze of everyone, crossed another major threshold and forcibly rushed to the Nascent Soul Late Stage!
A full sixteen-fold increase in combat power!
The surrounding space cracked into pitch-black fissures because it couldn't withstand this terrifying energy!
Yang Tian swallowed his saliva, suppressing the fear in his heart, and said with a stern expression:
"Junior... so what if you used a forbidden technique to forcibly reach the Late Stage? This old man is at the Great Perfection! Every step is a climb to the sky, you are still not..."
"Hey! Old man."
Su Feng suddenly interrupted him.
Yang Tian's eyes widened, his beard crooked with anger: "Old man?! You called me old man?!"
He was the dignified Grand Elder of the Blazing Moon Sect; who didn't have to respectfully call him Old Ancestor Yang upon seeing him?
"Have you ever heard a saying?"
Su Feng tilted his head, and the Green Underworld Ancient Sword in his hand let out a clear chime, yearning for blood:
"Villains... usually die from talking too much."
After speaking, Su Feng stopped looking at him. The Supreme Bone between his brows shone brilliantly, forcibly increasing his physical strength.
Su Feng turned to the Golden Dragon of Fortune that had been circling and guarding above Azure Cloud City, and waved his hand gently.
"Come."
"Ang—!!!"
A loud, impassioned dragon roar resounded through the sky!
That golden dragon, which had gathered the Su Family's Luck, seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
It transformed into a beam of brilliant golden light and, with an indomitable momentum, crashed into Su Feng's body!
Luck entering the body! Human and Dragon merged as one!
"Boom—!!!!!"
At this moment, Su Feng seemed to have turned into a small golden sun!
Terrifying energy ravaged his body. Even his strong Physical Body, tempered by the Supreme Bone and the Yellow Emperors Scripture for Courting Women, made creaking sounds of being unable to bear it, and fine blood beads even seeped out from his skin.
Pain!
But along with the pain came power!
Infinite power that seemed capable of shattering the firmament!
His cultivation broke through the limit once again, breaking through in that sky-filling golden light.
Nascent Soul Great Perfection!!
Su Feng held the Green Underworld Ancient Sword, covered in blood, yet like a blood-bathed Asura, he looked at Yang Tian with a grim expression.
At this very moment.
Jian Nanxin stared blankly at that figure, the sword hilt in his hand deformed by his grip.
He finally knew what kind of chasm lay between him and a true Genius.
Su Feng hadn't lied to him; he didn't care about being the number one person in the Southern Region at all.
So... the frog sitting in the well had been himself all along.
Jian Nanxin smiled bitterly, then felt relieved.
He sat cross-legged, his eyes bright, only wanting to watch this sword strike earnestly.
"If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening."
On the other side, that cold expression on Shen Luoyu's face could no longer remain calm.
Her cherry lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Daring to go head-to-head with a Nascent Soul Great Perfection just after entering the Nascent Soul stage, and even managing to stand on equal footing?
This was the man Shen Luoyu was looking for!
This was the Pure Yang Dao Companion who was worthy of her Innate Yin-Yang Body!
This guy really had a trick up his sleeve!!!
In Azure Cloud City.
Lin Qingxue held her newborn child, standing at the very top of the city gate, pointing at the figure in the sky who looked like a god or demon, her eyes filled with pride and tenderness:
"Baby, did you see clearly? That is your father."
"In the future... you must also become a hero who stands tall and upright, just like your father!"
"Eeya~" The Supreme baby in her arms waved its little fists, as if responding.
Yan Ling'er held her face with both hands, looking like a little fangirl, like a die-hard fan chasing a star at a concert, stomping her feet in excitement: "Ahhh! Master is so handsome! I love you to death!!!"
Ying Yue'e was the most composed, but her tightly clenched handkerchief and the pride that could not be hidden in her eyes betrayed her inner thoughts.
On the pavilion.
Wu Qin bit her lower lip hard, looking at that arrogant man, and the solid line of defense in her heart finally collapsed completely.
"Born is born! I am just complying with the Heavenly Dao contract! It's not because... because he is powerful!"
...
Under the gaze of everyone.
Su Feng moved.
He didn't have any fancy moves, he just simply raised the sword in his hand.
At that moment.
The wind stopped, the clouds dispersed.
All the light between heaven and earth seemed to converge on that one sword.
Su Feng smiled calmly at Yang Tian, who was already pale and trembling all over:
"Yang Tian, you have cultivated the Dao for thousands of years, have you ever seen..."
"The Heaven Gate open?"
As the words fell, the sword descended.
【Heaven Rank Peak Martial Skill · One Sword Opens the Heaven Gate】!
"Sshhh—!"
An indescribable, brilliant sword light, like a galaxy hanging upside down, poured out from Su Feng's hand!
It ignored space, ignored defense, and even ignored time!
Where the sword light passed, the Void Realm was cut open neatly like a piece of torn cloth, revealing the pitch-black and deep terrifying fissure behind it that seemed to connect to another world!!
It was as if... the Heaven Gate had swung open!
"No!!!"
Yang Tian let out a desperate roar, sacrificing all his Magic Treasures, burning all his Lifespan, wanting to block this sword.
But in the face of the splendor of that sword.
All struggles were futile.
