Chapter 2574: Chapter 2553: Subjugation
Chapter 2553 Conquest
"Who I am doesn’t matter. Are you the Water Spirit?"
Lin Feng ignored the Water Spirit’s threat and asked, as he wanted to understand the current situation. Was this white pearl truly the Water Spirit? If it was indeed so, he intended to subdue it. Elemental Spirits are born of heaven and earth, a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity that he could not allow to slip by!
"You actually know about the Water Spirit?"
The Water Spirit was astonished upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, as it hadn’t expected this man to know about it. The previous owner had placed it here and told it that it was a Water Spirit when it asked. Now suddenly faced with someone who recognized it, the Water Spirit couldn’t help but be surprised.
Upon hearing the Water Spirit’s reaction, Lin Feng smiled. While continuously employing the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique to manipulate the freezing ice, he casually asked the Water Spirit, "Join me?"
"Why should I join you? I have an owner!" The Water Spirit immediately refused, asserting its allegiance to another.
"You have an owner?"
This revelation surprised Lin Feng. He hadn’t anticipated that the Water Spirit was already owned, but based on the surrounding environment, he asked, "If you have an owner, where is he?"
"I don’t know where he is. He hasn’t come to see me for a very, very long time." The Water Spirit’s voice was filled with sorrow. It had no concept of time, only knowing that its owner had left it here and never returned.
"A long time?" Lin Feng seized upon this detail and pressed further.
"Yes, at that time I had just gained consciousness. The owner put me in this special environment, promising to return and take me away. But after he left, he never returned..." the Water Spirit explained, as if finally finding an outlet for its emotions.
Listening to the Water Spirit, Lin Feng was struck with a realization. Communicating with Xiao Huo via Divine Sense, he discovered that Xiao Huo had been conscious for countless years before gaining elementary Spirit Wisdom. The Water Spirit had developed advanced intelligence, suggesting that far more time had passed.
Considering this, Lin Feng’s tone changed. "If what you’re saying is true, your owner might no longer be alive. Humans have limited lifespans."
"No, that’s impossible, the owner can’t be dead!"
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s suggestion, the Water Spirit suddenly became agitated. Though it had contemplated this possibility, it couldn’t accept it, not knowing what else to do but wait for its owner’s return.
Amid its turmoil, the icy surroundings trembled, reflecting the Water Spirit’s agitation.
Observing this, Lin Feng hadn’t anticipated the Water Spirit’s emotions turning so volatile. He quickly employed the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique to seal the space, preventing the Water Spirit from spiraling out of control, which would pose a risk to him. At his extreme exertion, the sky-blue ice solidified further, confining the Water Spirit completely.
"Calm down. If you agree, let me subdue you, and I can take you away. What do you say?"
Controlling the situation, Lin Feng proposed, knowing the special benefits of subduing a Water Spirit. He would not leave without pursuing this opportunity.
"You want to subdue me?" The Water Spirit sneered. "Fine, but only if you can withstand my trial will I leave with you!"
"Are you serious?"
Lin Feng met the Water Spirit’s gaze, challenging, as he was truly tempted to risk subduing the Water Spirit given the potential rewards.
"Of course!" The Water Spirit replied immediately.
"What is your trial?" Lin Feng queried, doubting it would let him pass easily. Understanding the nature of the trial beforehand would help decide if it’s too dangerous.
"Simple. If your body withstands, then you will have subdued me!" The Water Spirit stated, as if discussing something trivial.
The implication chilled Lin Feng. Remembering past events, he felt uncertain about the consequences of consuming the Water Spirit, unlike subduing the Fire Spirit.
Yet the prospect of subduing the Water Spirit stirred him, as he had theorized a method to succeed. Even if it didn’t work, he thought he might survive, unlike his encounter with the Fire Spirit.
"Alright!"
Having decided, Lin Feng affirmed, resorting to the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique. As he moved, the ice split around him. Soon, he reached the pearl-like Water Spirit, resolutely clutching it.
At that moment, the Water Spirit transformed into a mist, enveloping Lin Feng, seeping through his skin.
Suddenly, Lin Feng felt the internal mist spiraling out of control, threatening to rend him apart. In response, he exerted the Exclusive Supreme Soaring Decree, unleashing a surge of Seven-Colored Essence Gang to desperately suppress the turmoil within.
He contended not just with water pressure but with suppressing water with Yuangang.
The unimaginable pain assailed him. His body, sometimes torn, was being forcibly regenerated under the Essence Gang’s control. He consumed numerous Elixirs to mend, an advantage of his unique physique.
Unbeknownst to Lin Feng, the Water Spirit wasn’t resisting much, simply eager to leave. However, being a Water Spirit accompanied by peculiar water—the blue water named Soul-Separation—posed unique challenges.
As the Soul-Separation Divergent Water integrated with Lin Feng, his Divine Soul quivered, his Soul threatened to tear. Under such duress, he consumed Elixirs madly, striving to successfully integrate with the Water Spirit.
One day!
Two days!
Three days!
...
Lin Feng immersed himself in full cultivation, losing track of time. As time passed, his body did seem to meld with the Water Spirit, though the torment it brought was beyond imagination. Yet during the fusion, he gained insights unreachable before...
...
"It’s been three months already!"
"Boss still hasn’t come out?"
...
Tao Tao and his companions waited at the cave entrance for three months without a word from Lin Feng, nor any changes in the Lava Lake below, exacerbating their anxiety over what might have befallen him. The lack of evidence on Lin Feng’s state heightened their unease.
Over time, their worry intensified. The mere thought of any mishap chilled them, as Lin Feng was their cornerstone—his demise would signal disaster. The more they contemplated, the more afraid they grew...
Just as they contemplated entering to investigate, a sudden upheaval disrupted the Lava Lake below, as if it began to boil violently!
"Run!"
The first to notice the anomaly was Tangyuan, who promptly transformed into a white streak racing out of the valley without hesitation!
Seeing Tangyuan, Tao Tao and the others fled swiftly, trusting Tangyuan’s sharper sense of danger. Humans paled in comparison to Demon Beasts regarding peril awareness. Their own perception of the Lava Lake’s disturbance signaled imminent danger.
The trio streaked out of the valley in record time, yet just as they exited, something unexpected occurred...
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the mountain valley quaked, the earth upheaved. Fiery red lava burst skyward, reaching hundreds, thousands of feet high, painting the sky red!
Red-hot lava rained down, decimating an area of dozens of miles, burning everything in its path. Trees ignited, transforming the landscape into a sea of fire, sending fleeing Demon Beasts into a panic. Those caught by lava were incinerated...
Heavens!
What on earth is happening!
...
In disbelief, Tao Tao and the others hung in mid-air, dwarfed by an apocalyptic scene beyond imagination. Such cataclysmic destruction left them anxious, pondering what Lin Feng encountered below to trigger an eruption akin to a volcanic explosion...
