131: Chapter 131 Five Hundred Million Yuan in Spending Shocks the World; One Thought Leads to the Pinnacle of Martial Sect!

Hum—!

That massive black tower, standing silently like a Vicious Beast from ancient times, erupted without warning with an unprecedented, brilliant divine light!

Immediately after, in the eyes of everyone, who were struck with terror, that nine-story giant tower, which seemed to have merged with the entire Yanshan Mountain Range, began to shrink rapidly in a way that completely defied the Laws of physics...

Shrinking!

From a towering giant that reached the heavens, it transformed into a nine-story exquisite pagoda!

From an exquisite pagoda, it turned into a delicate model the size of a palm!

From a delicate model, it finally became a tiny black speck of light, smaller than a speck of dust!

"One-click shrinking, convenient to carry—it truly does not deceive me!"

Inside the tower, Lin Feng, having completely seized control of the core hub, watched this absurd scene before his eyes and couldn't help but whistle in his heart.

With a thought, he once again activated the final trump card left behind by Sword Demon Zhang Cheng.

The [Divine Light Concealment] formation!

Swish!

That black speck of light, now too small for the naked eye to see, flickered in place before merging into the air, completely vanishing without a trace, leaving not even a shred of aura behind.

"The… the tower?!"

For the first time, Wei Yuan's face, which had always been as calm as an ancient well, revealed shock and disbelief from the depths of his Soul!

His terrifying Divine Sense, capable of covering a radius of a hundred miles, frantically swept back and forth over the area hundreds of times, yet he couldn't even detect a single hair of that giant tower!

It was as if that forbidden tower, which had stood there since ancient times, had never existed at all!

"No! This is impossible!"

Wei Yuan let out the most miserable roar of his life; he could not accept this cruel reality!

The person was gone!

The tower was gone too!

He, an Imperial retainer, an Earthly Immortal of the Martial Extremity Realm, had actually allowed an ant in the Gathered Crown Realm to vanish into thin air, along with the tower, right under the noses of tens of thousands of troops?!

If this were to reach the Imperial City, what face would he have left to face the thunderous wrath of Your Majesty?!

"Find it for me!!"

Wei Yuan had completely lost his mind. Acting like a madman, he struck out with a palm, and the terrifying palm force flattened a mountain Peak beneath his feet!

"Dig three feet into the ground! You must dig that little beast out for me!!"

...

At this moment, in the clouds high above the Nine Heavens, an imperceptible speck of dust was drifting leisurely along the air currents, heading in the exact opposite direction of the capital.

Inside the tower, on the ninth floor.

Lin Feng lay on the white jade bed belonging to the Ninth Prince, Xia Yan, crossing his legs while munching on a spirit fruit he had swiped from somewhere, watching the group of "actors" below, who were frantically digging the ground like headless flies, through the "monitoring screen" of the core hub.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this acting is far worse than mine last time."

Lin Feng curled his lip, a look of disdain appearing on his face.

He did not leave immediately because he knew this was just the beginning.

He had to wait.

Wait for the news from the Imperial City to arrive, wait for this storm he had ignited with his own hands to fully ferment!

Sure enough.

Half a day later, an "Imperial Soul-Chasing Decree," written personally by Emperor Xia and stamped with the Imperial Jade Seal, spread to every corner of the entire Great Xia Dynasty at a terrifying speed, as if it had grown wings!

[By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:]

[The Demon Suppression Division traitor Lin Feng has colluded with the ancient Sword Demon and is guilty of heinous crimes! He plundered the Demon Suppressing Tower, released the demons, and intended to subvert the nation; his crimes are unforgivable!]

[Effective immediately, the "Imperial Soul-Chasing Decree" is issued! Any citizen of our Great Xia, whether official, gentry, soldier, or bandit, who can take the head of Lin Feng will be rewarded with ten million gold pieces and enfeoffed as a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households! Thus it is decreed!]

"A server-wide wanted notice? Quite impressive."

Lin Feng looked at the wanted poster on the screen, which had been produced overnight by the Imperial Guard artists and made him look thirty percent more handsome than he actually was. He rubbed his chin and wore a satisfied smile.

"Very good. The actors are in place, the script is written, and the audience has entered."

"Then, next..."

He cast his gaze toward his attribute panel, which had once again surged significantly.

"It is time for me, this pay-to-win tycoon, to add the most exciting stroke to this grand play."

He knew that although he was temporarily safe now, as long as he remained within the borders of Great Xia, he would sooner or later be tracked down by the endless secret techniques of the Imperial family.

The only path to survival was...

To become stronger than everyone else!

Strong enough to split this sky open with a single blade!

...

"System, upgrade the Dragon-Slaying Sword Canon for me!"

Lin Feng issued the command in his heart with an unprecedented tone of heroic boldness.

If he had nothing else, he had plenty of "money"!

[Ding! Detected that the host possesses a massive amount of critical hit points. Do you confirm consuming five hundred million critical hit points to upgrade the Martial Extremity Realm Cultivation Technique, Dragon-Slaying Sword Canon, to the Minor Achievement Realm?]

"Confirm!"

Rumble!!!!

A torrent of terrifying energy, indescribable in words, vast and mighty, as if coming from the primordial Universe at the beginning of creation, erupted with a boom, centered on Lin Feng!

Inside the Demon Suppressing Tower, the winds and clouds changed color!

That supreme Cultivation Technique, formed by the Fusion of Imperial Dragon Qi and the Undying Sword Soul, was instantly activated under the infusion of the massive amount of critical hit points!

Lin Feng only felt as if his body had been thrown into a steel-refining furnace composed of Dragon Qi and Sword Intent; every cell was being frantically tempered, reorganized, and evolved!

His cultivation Bottleneck, which had long since reached the Peak of the Martial Soul Realm, was as fragile as window paper in the face of this unreasonable power, instantly shattered!

"Break... for me!!!"

Lin Feng roared.

Inside his Sea of Consciousness, that "Martial Dao Soul Embryo," condensed from billions of stars, shattered with a boom!

In its place was a wider, more profound, and boundless Star Domain!

And in the center of that Star Domain, an illusory "Sword of Law," seemingly woven from Imperial Dragon Qi and the Undying Sword Soul, slowly took shape!

First level of the Martial Ancestor Realm!

Success!

However, this was merely the beginning!

Lin Feng's cultivation, like a true Dragon breaking free from all the shackles of heaven and earth, climbed frantically upward at a speed that exceeded the limits of everyone's understanding!

Second level of the Martial Ancestor Realm!

Third level of the Martial Ancestor Realm!

...

Seventh level of the Martial Ancestor Realm!

Eighth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm!

Ninth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm!

Finally, when the last bit of critical hit points were exhausted, Lin Feng's cultivation stopped steadily at the Peak of the ninth level of the Martial Ancestor Realm!

Just one step away from reaching that legendary Realm of the Earthly Immortal!

He slowly opened his eyes, and two brilliant, substantive sword beams shot out from his eyes, actually cutting two tiny black cracks into the Void Realm in front of him!

He could feel that the power within his body was more than a thousand times stronger than before!

With a thought, that terrifying "Domain" belonging to a Martial Ancestor Realm expert instantly expanded!

"Nirvana Domain!"

In an instant, the entire ninth floor seemed to transform into a boundless Hell!

Countless vengeful spirits, evil ghosts, and Asuras surged out from the Void Realm, roaring frantically with endless resentment and killing intent!

Within this Domain, Lin Feng was the sole Dominator!

"Not bad, not bad, I feel like I'm back in action."

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. He knew that only now did he truly have the qualifications to wrestle with the Imperial family.

He retracted his Domain and cast his gaze back toward the outside world.

In those deep eyes, a trace of cold killing intent flashed.

"Wei Yuan... I want your life!"
