Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 495: Chapter 494: Lend Me Your Head

Night fell in the Moonless Forest.

A thick layer of clouds obscured the Moonlight, and the entire forest seemed to sink into darkness.

CRACKLE! POP!

Firewood popped and crackled in the orange-red flames, their warmth driving away the surrounding darkness.

The tents arranged in the forest clearing looked exceptionally warm.

On a rack over the fire, strips of meat from some unknown Fierce Beast sizzled on the grill, releasing an enticing aroma.

SIZZLE!

Droplets of hot oil dripped into the fire, causing small flares to erupt.

AWOOOO!

From the surrounding woods, terrifying bestial roars echoed from time to time.

Atop an ancient tree, Qin Feng leaned into the cool evening breeze. His gaze swept across the distance as he sent out his vast Divine Thought to inspect the Illusion Array he had set up in the area.

The Qin Family party had been in the Moonless Forest for eight days now.

The journey had been perilous, but thanks to Qin Feng’s protection and Eighth Master’s sharp eyes, there had been no casualties. Only a few people had sustained minor injuries from battling Fierce Beasts.

The Moonless Forest truly lived up to its name as a paradise for Fierce Beasts. The variety of creatures here was dazzling, and most were Barbaric Beasts.

There were even Beast Kings entrenched here, ruling over vast territories.

A few times, Qin Feng’s Divine Thought had even sensed Ancient Beasts whose power was equivalent to the Martial Arts Giant Realm.

"Venerable Lord, would you like to come down and have something to eat?"

The speaker was a charming young woman in a purple dress. She had a graceful figure, and her black hair danced in the night wind. Her youthful beauty made many of the male disciples’ eyes burn with envy.

This was Qin Yumei, the most talented genius of the Qin Family of Mountain and River City, second only to Qin Tianjiao.

She was also considered a goddess in the eyes of the younger generation of the Mountain and River City’s Qin Family.

The purple-clad young woman’s eyes were like clear springs, and her beautiful gaze held a peculiar emotion. As the night wind blew, a faint blush flashed across her exquisite face, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Unfortunately, Qin Feng was in no mood to appreciate this beautiful sight. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, thank you. You all go ahead and eat."

Qin Feng’s mind was entirely focused on choosing his path.

Although he was currently only at the Sea of Reincarnation Second Realm Spatial Peak, the Sea of Reincarnation Third Realm Heaven Rank Realm was within his reach.

The most important thing right now was to choose a path.

There were four choices.

Water Origin, Calamity Origin, Star Origin, and Void Origin.

After a moment of thought, Qin Feng first eliminated the path of Stars.

With the Primordial Star as his Lifebound Star, plus the Star Sect’s core True Inheritance, the Mixed Element Star Technique, the Path of the Star God would be easy to walk.

But for the current Qin Feng, this was paradoxically the longest path.

Mulling over the remaining three choices, Qin Feng once again eliminated the Calamity Origin.

This wasn’t because the Calamity Origin wasn’t powerful enough.

In fact, the Calamity Origin was one of the most tyrannical High-level Origins.

He eliminated this path because his comprehension of the Water Origin and Void Origin far surpassed his understanding of the Calamity Origin.

Although he had cultivated the Five Calamities of Chaos—the Chaos Fire Tribulation, Chaos Water Tribulation, Chaos Wood Tribulation, Chaos Gold Tribulation, and Chaos Earth Tribulation—actually comprehending the Tribulation Mystical Meaning would still take him a considerable amount of time.

However, if he chose either the Water Origin or the Void Origin, Qin Feng could advance to a Martial Arts Giant in the shortest time possible.

The final two choices, Water Origin and Void Origin, were the most difficult for Qin Feng to decide between.

If he chose the Water Origin, Qin Feng was confident he could recover his peak cultivation in an extremely short amount of time.

With the Sea God Body as his foundation, his cultivation speed with a Water Element Technique would be dozens, or even a hundred times faster than others.

But after careful consideration, Qin Feng ultimately decided to give up the Water Origin as his main path of cultivation.

One reason was that Qin Feng felt he was more attuned to the cultivation of the Void Origin.

Another reason was, naturally, the innate advantage of Void Element experts.

’Time is honored, Space is king.’

A Martial Arts Giant who had comprehended the Void Origin was innately stronger than an ordinary Martial Arts Giant.

There were many other reasons as well, such as the seedling of the Void System Divine-level Spirit Root, the Chaos Tree.

Possessing the Chaos Tree seedling, a Void System Divine-level Spirit Root, was like giving wings to a tiger when it came to comprehending the Void Origin.

Among these, there was one more crucial reason: the Book of Space, the physical legacy left behind by the Space-Time God.

It was a top-tier True Artifact that contained the ultimate principles of space in heaven and earth.

If he could obtain the other half, the Book of Cosmos, which symbolized time, he might be able to merge the principles of Space and Time and completely inherit the mantle of the Space-Time God.

The Space-Time God... what a magnificent existence! At the very least, a Chaos Main God.

Qin Feng had been thinking, choosing.

Now, at last, Qin Feng finally made his decision.

’Void as the primary, with the three great Origins of Water, Stars, and Calamity as secondary. This is my path!’

The moment this thought solidified, Qin Feng felt a fundamental change in his soul. It was as if a crystal had been wiped clean of all dust, becoming incomparably clear.

He felt a faint, new sensitivity to the changes within the Void, and the various Void Element Mystical Meanings took the central, dominant position in his soul.

The four Void Mystical Meanings—Void Freeze, Void Retreat, Void Lag, and Void Travel—flowed through his mind. Through this comprehensive understanding, he even faintly grasped a trace of a fifth: the Void Cutting Mystical Meaning.

Just then, Qin Feng’s brow twitched. His powerful Spiritual Sense detected a sudden abnormality, like a faint breeze stirring in a silent forest.

The Illusion Array he had set up on the perimeter had been unknowingly pierced by a figure.

A flicker of surprise passed through Qin Feng’s eyes. Although he had only casually set up the Illusion Array around the woods, it was still his creation and not something ordinary.

It might not be able to deal with powerful experts, but even a Martial Artist at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm would be disoriented for a few moments upon entering it.

This person seemed to have ignored the Illusion Array and passed straight through. That skill alone was astonishing.

With a flash of black light, Qin Feng appeared silently in the clearing, gazing into the pitch-black forest.

Seeing Qin Feng’s movement, the members of the Qin Family’s expressions changed, and they all drew their weapons.

"Venerable Lord, what is it?" Qin Qingyun asked, looking at Qin Feng.

RUSTLE!

Just then, amidst the swaying shadows of the trees, a figure emerged from the darkness.

He was dressed in snug, dark-colored attire. He had long sideburns, which were streaked with a strange, mottled white.

He was an exceptionally handsome young man—a rare beauty, in fact. His bearing was calm and composed, and he possessed a strange temperament that was particularly eye-catching.

The moment he appeared, he gave Qin Feng a strange feeling.

Qin Feng’s eyes shifted slightly. He found he couldn’t see through the newcomer’s Cultivation Realm.

’That’s very strange.’

’With my Soul Realm, I should be able to sense at least a clue even from a Martial Dao Great Power.’

Seeing the wary expressions of the Qin Family members, the newcomer clasped his hands in a stylish salute and smiled. "My apologies for the late-night intrusion. Might I be so bold as to ask which of you is Senior Brother Qin Feng?"

His gaze swept over the crowd, and he quickly fixed it on Qin Feng, who stood at the front and had a distinctly different aura.

Qin Feng’s eyes flickered, and he took a step forward. "I am."

The man nodded and smiled. "This humble one is Lin Zifeng. I have been ordered to borrow Senior Brother Qin Feng’s head! I hope Senior Brother will not be stingy and will offer it up freely!"
