Chapter 436: An Unexpected Outburst
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Bei Feng and the other two were already running as fast as they could. But although the place was collapsing, the restriction on their cultivation were still active.
“Boom!”
Large pieces of land crumbled behind the three as they ran. Numerous enormous rocks fell off and dropped into the deep abyss.
By the time they stepped outside of the range of the formation, the ground beneath their feet was already filled with cracks. It was as if in the next moment, the three Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts who stood at the peak of the world would fall into it to face their end!
But fortunately, they had still escaped by the skin of their teeth. In the next moment, the restriction on their cultivation was released, causing everyone’s blood and Qi to explode forth in an instant!
This kind of aura was even stronger than their normal auras. Their entire bodies felt completely weightless, like they could float.
This was like a normal person who had become used to carrying an immense load constantly—when the load was finally put down, they would feel extremely light, like a sparrow!
As for Bei Feng and the others, it was even more so the case. Yan Luo only felt that both Ling Xu and Bei Feng’s strength had improved greatly!
The 12 Kunlun Devils did not hide anything from each other. And at this moment, it felt like Ling Xu had suddenly taken a huge step forward, even to the point of giving Yan Luo the feeling that he’d touched that other realm!
But what caused Ling Xu to feel even more shocked was Bei Feng. This was an upstart talent that’d appeared because of a large fortuitous encounter. He’d killed numerous Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts on various missions, and at this point, he’d already entered the sights of the 12 Kunlun Devils!
In just a few short years, he’d climbed from a nameless normal person to his current level. This was an extremely terrifying concept. And when Bei Feng’s true strength was revealed at this moment, even Ling Xu felt a great amount of pressure from him!
He was sure that Bei Feng’s current strength was comparable to his. Even if he was stronger, it would not be by much. Perhaps he could defeat Bei Feng in a fight, but if he wanted to kill the latter, it was impossible unless the 12 Kunlun Devils worked together!
‘Perhaps if there wasn’t that ray of hope to leave this planet, I might really be unable to bear it and gather the rest to dig his secret out.’
Ling Xu suddenly felt somewhat regretful. To the usually incredibly resolute him, this decision was a little inconceivable.
Bei Feng’s strength was currently among the top few even in the entire country. He was no longer someone that could be controlled by him easily.
Even if he gathered all the 12 Kunlun Devils to surround and kill Bei Feng, it would still be a victory with heavy losses even if they won. Furthermore, Bei Feng still had three helpers by his side.
Right now, compared to dealing with Bei Feng, it was obviously much more important to unite and enter the Qin Emperor mausoleum together!
Bei Feng’s blood and Qi aura rushed upwards, forming a blood-colored tree over several dozen meters tall. It was like another Dharma manifestation of his.
And Bei Feng’s body was the root of this tree. The blood-colored tree was extremely condensed, and even normal people could see it with their naked eyes. It was no longer an illusory thing that could only be detected with mental power.
This was just the blood and Qi energy that’d leaked out of his body. The blood-colored tree manifestation around Bei Feng was actually something to pull the leaking energy back into his body before it dispersed! After all, it was a terrible waste of energy to constantly release energy into the environment.
“Peng!”
Three sonic booms rang out as the three suddenly appeared far away in the distance!
“Ka-cha!”
The invisible barrier above them emitted creaking noises as though it could not bear the weight any longer. Finally, it could hold no longer, and began to crack!
Outside the formation, of the group that were supposed to be waiting for Bei Feng and the rest, everyone had already left except for Mystic One, Bai Xiang, the Cerberus, and the other members of the 12 Kunlun Devils.
It was difficult to say that the rest of the people had no sense of comradeship. Everyone had lived for such a long time. What was friendship compared to their own lives?
The moment they felt that something was wrong, everyone had fled the way they came from, only leaving the people from Bei Feng’s group and the 12 Kunlun Devils.
Although everyone was here for the same purpose, no one wanted to throw their lives away so stupidly in this place.
“Quickly leave this place!” Bei Feng shouted at Mystic One and the rest the moment he ran out. The scene behind them was like a huge mirror shattering. Lava was pouring from the sky and the speed of the collapse was extremely fast. Large amounts of scorching lava chased after Bei Feng and the rest!
The temperature of lava was even higher than fire’s. In addition, this place was like a sealed space. When the entire pool of lava collapsed down, even a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert would have a high probability of being crushed to death!
Mystic One and the rest did not hesitate. Their bodies twisted, and they suddenly disappeared far away with terrifying speed.
Behind them, the collapse of the formation seemed to be setting off a chain reaction. The fissure under the lava grew wider with incredible speed and more lava cascaded down, covering everything!
The advancement speed of the lava was incredibly quick. Even though Bei Feng and the rest were running at three times the speed of sound, they could only reach a balance with the pursuing lava!
“How can it be so fast! Even a volcanic eruption would not have this kind of speed, right?”
“It’s different this time, the lava had been suppressed for countless years. The energy contained within it had already reached an extreme limit. Originally, this limit was vented by volcanic eruptions.
But now that a fault had appeared at the bottom of all these lava, it’s akin to burying a person into the ground only leaving the head. At this time, if one lightly slashed a tiny wound across the top of the head, what do you think will happen?” someone from the 12 Kunlun Devils said.
This was not a normal conversation; the group was speaking through mental sense.
With the group’s speed, by the time their voices came out of their mouths, their bodies would already be far away.
“Ka-cha!”
Right in front of the group, an area of about 30 meters was spewing lava from the top and fire from the ground due to the fault in the massive formation.
The group was seemingly unmoved, and did not change their direction. Everyone continued charging forward, seemingly intent on flying right through the area.
“Ice Soul Divine Needle!”
“Arctic Frost Silk Palm!”
Two experts who specialized in ice-attribute techniques stepped out and blasted forth.
Numerous layers of sturdy ice appeared in midair, instantly shielding in front of the group. The temperature was extremely low, and even when the lava came into contact with the ice, it still managed to hold firmly.
This was the first time Bei Feng had seen these two act. Frankly, these two were very strong. At the least, they were at middle stage Controlled Dan realm. If it was the Bei Feng who had not broken through yet, his chances of beating either one of them without using Soaring Rainbow or his wings had been only about 60 percent.
As they flew along, an over 100 meter tall, 50-something meter wide boulder dropped down on them. The boulder carried a terrifying pressure and an intense searing temperature.
Without much imagination, it was easy to guess how strong a boulder that could stay submerged in a pool of lava for thousands to tens of thousand of years would be!
Bei Feng lifted his hand casually and his blood and Qi energy surged upwards. Then, he lightly punched out at the boulder from a great distance away.
“Boom!”
With a deafening bang, the huge boulder was directly torn apart by a huge arm.
Mystic One “…”
12 Kunlun Devils “…”
A queer expression hung on the faces of the entire group as they looked at Bei Feng speechlessly. Suddenly, everyone became angry and very nearly grabbed him by his sleeves to shake him up.
