Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 453: Chapter 452: A Life Divine Tree Branch?

Qin Feng watched the scene unfold with a faint, unreadable smile.

This Dong Hao had clearly been part of the treasure-hunting group from the start. However, after seeing Qin Feng grievously wound Thunder Extreme Yuan and Yan Ge, he had immediately hidden by the entrance.

Now that he saw Yan Ge was severely injured, he had come out to pick up the scraps.

No one present was a fool.

They all instantly understood. Dong Hao’s arrogant, reckless, and impulsive personality at the Star Sect was clearly just an act.

Qin Feng’s gaze swept over Xia You and Wei Huang.

Xia You and Wei Huang were standing before the shattered Coiling Dragon Clear Wind Pillar. They had been about to collect the remaining Red Dragon Sword and Red Dragon Pearl, but when they saw Yan Ge’s miserable state, they hesitated, fearing Qin Feng might have tampered with the two treasures.

When they saw Qin Feng’s gaze fall upon them, they were startled. They exchanged a look, a flicker of dread in their eyes.

Although they considered themselves stronger than Thunder Extreme Yuan and Yan Ge, they weren’t confident they could defeat either of them in a single move.

The power Qin Feng had displayed was far beyond their expectations!

In the next breath, the two figures flashed away. Like a pair of soaring dragons, they shot out of Qingping Hall in an instant.

Seeing them decisively abandon their prize and flee, a cold light flickered in Qin Feng’s eyes. He forcibly suppressed the impulse to stop them, and his gaze fell upon Yan Ge.

To be precise, his gaze landed on the strange branch in Yan Ge’s hand.

The branch emitted a vibrant, green aura of life, one even richer than the Vitality from the Spring of Life.

Bathed in this dense life aura, the wounds on Yan Ge’s body were healing at a visible rate.

’This must be a branch from a rare Life Spiritual Root!’ A Life Spiritual Root was incredibly beneficial for sustaining places like Secret Realms and an Inner Heaven and Earth.

As the thought crossed his mind, a fervent light lit up Qin Feng’s eyes. He was determined to obtain the Spiritual Root—even if it was just a single branch.

His Divine Thought locked onto Yan Ge’s retreating form. Moving like a Flood Dragon from the Nine Heavens, he thrust out with his sword. A tide of cold light flooded the room, bathing the entire hall in pure white. His target was the mutilated Yan Ge.

Yan Ge felt as if he were submerged in an ocean of terrifying sword light. It felt as if this single strike could shatter the Firmament itself. His own True Power and even his protective Treasures were silently disintegrating. In the next moment, his body, and even his soul, would be utterly extinguished by that light.

Utter terror was reflected in his pupils.

Only now did Yan Ge realize just how terrifying Qin Feng was.

"How can he be this strong? It’s impossible!" Yan Ge couldn’t accept it. Just a few months ago, a single wisp of his Divine Thought had been enough to seriously injure Qin Feng.

Now, their roles were completely reversed!

A flicker of despair crossed Yan Ge’s eyes.

"Qin Feng, get out of the way! Yan Ge is mine!" As the arrogant voice rang out, a vast and domineering radiance descended.

Seeing Qin Feng charge at Yan Ge, Dong Hao could not possibly stand for it. He had long considered the Life Divine Tree Branch in Yan Ge’s hand his personal prize.

In his eyes, Qin Feng was already a dead man!

Immeasurable light burst forth from a lone figure. He threw a punch, making the Void tremble, as boundless, divine, and holy radiance filled every corner of the Clear Screen Hall.

Under this radiance, Qin Feng felt as if every pore on his body, and even his very soul, were being saturated with a divine and holy light. All his murderous intent, his Demonic Thoughts, and even the will to fight this person vanished completely.

His soul felt an irresistible urge to surrender to the light.

’Such a dense and domineering Light Realm... Light Purification Secret, Light Judgment Mystical Meaning, Light Protection Secret, Bright Flame Secret, and Holy Light Secret. A full five Light Mystical Meanings! He’s only one step away from comprehending the Great Brightness Origin!’

If an ordinary person were to be eroded by such a powerful Light Will, their soul would either be grievously wounded or they would become completely lost in the vast brilliance their opponent radiated.

Even someone with a will strong enough to resist it would likely be interfered with, unable to exert even half their true strength.

But Qin Feng’s soul was exceptionally strong, and his Martial Dao Will was like iron. The shock vanished from his eyes, which now clearly saw the ferocious punch hurtling toward him.

"Take a punch from me, then! Xuanwu Yin Yang Dao!"

A blazing battle intent flashed in his eyes. Qin Feng suddenly strode toward the figure, all two hundred and eighty of his Profound Water True Acupoints vibrating. A power from the Barbaric Wilderness gathered in his palm.

The second form of the *Xuanwu Yin Yang Dao*—the Yin Yang Reversal Profound Mysteries—surfaced in Qin Feng’s mind. His body moved like a great tidal wave.

It rose high and came crashing down.

He threw his punch!

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

Earth-shattering roars of an ancient beast erupted from Qin Feng’s palm. The Void fractured, the ground cracked, and a berserk power shattered the almost-tangible, vast radiance.

"What?"

Dong Hao’s expression changed drastically. Caught under this palm strike, he felt a terrifyingly abnormal power bombard him. It was like being struck by a Taigu Xuanwu. His fist’s Light intent was instantly suppressed. The Heavenly Dao Level Third Layer Light True Power within him was on the verge of collapse and difficult to circulate. He felt as if this single strike would shatter his very bones.

’He’s actually this strong! My Great Brightness Fist Technique is a core True Inheritance from the Great Sun Divine Hall that I stole from that bastard Xi Yan! It’s said that if you cultivate it to the highest Realm, you can create a Kingdom of Light in the Void with your bare hands. Even though I’ve only mastered the first form of the Great Brightness Departing Fist Technique, my power is beyond what any ordinary Sea Reincarnation Strongman can match. Yet he shattered my attack with a single palm strike... He’s absurdly strong! How can such a terrifying expert at the Condensing Vein Realm exist in this world?!’ Executing his Movement Technique, his body shot away like a streak of light. Half a breath later, Dong Hao reappeared several dozen yards away.

RUMBLE!

Where Dong Hao had just been standing, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the Divine Hall’s unusually sturdy floor.

Dong Hao’s pupils shrank as he watched. This Divine Hall was protected by the Divine Power of the Mountain God. A full-powered strike from an ordinary Sea Reincarnation Strongman wouldn’t necessarily even leave a scratch.

Yet Qin Feng’s strike had actually cracked the floor tiles!

The cracks on the floor began to gradually mend themselves, protected by the Divine Power of the Mountain God.

’He actually dodged it!’ Qin Feng’s figure appeared where Dong Hao had been. A trace of wariness flickered in his eyes. This Dong Hao was extremely dangerous.

Light Power was inherently a True Power with powerful Attributes, and what’s more, this Dong Hao seemed to have already begun to comprehend the Light Origin.

He had even comprehended multiple Light Mystical Meanings.

The gap between one who had achieved Enlightenment and one who had not was immense.

’I know that if my foundation weren’t so profound,’ Qin Feng thought, ’if I hadn’t cultivated my Star True Power to the quality of the Extreme Dao Third Layer, I probably would have been at a disadvantage today, even if I’d used my Great Divine Abilities.’

’Should I use the Great Brightness Dharma Realm to trap him?’ Dong Hao wondered. ’My six Light Mystical Meanings have already formed the prototype of my Great Brightness Dharma Realm. With a little more time, it will reach Perfection. But right now, the Great Brightness Dharma Realm is at its most fragile. This Qin Feng fellow is just too unorthodox. For a mere Condensing Vein Realm expert to be this powerful, there’s no telling what other trump cards he’s hiding. If my painstakingly condensed Great Brightness Dharma Realm were to shatter, the loss would far outweigh any gain!’

Enlightenment, Fusion Dao, Harmonization, and finally, attaining the Dao.

Dong Hao had already reached Enlightenment regarding the Light Origin. As long as he could transform his Great Brightness Dharma Realm from illusory to real and create a true Inner Heaven and Earth, he would ascend to the Martial Arts Giant Realm.

Qin Feng’s gaze swept over Dong Hao as he thought to himself, ’No matter what, I have to deal with that bastard Yan Ge today. Dong Hao is strong, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a chance to deal with him as well. If he insists on getting in my way, then I’ll kill him right here, even if I get severely injured in the process!’

Just then, Dong Hao spoke up. "Qin Feng, you can have Yan Ge. But the branch in his hand is mine!"
