Chapter 1172: Battlefield Anomaly

Those flames linked together; looking far into the distance, at this moment he seemed to be draped in a thin copper-colored fire gauze.

Originally at the mid-stage of Five-Star strength, he suddenly surged, breaking through two small ranks unhindered to reach the Five-Star Peak Dou Saint.

However, this increase did not stop after reaching the Five-Star Peak; in the blink of an eye he had already broken through the Five-Star Dou Saint level and reached the Six-Star Dou Saint.

"This kid, what a strange secret technique!"

Seeing Lin Feng instantly surge from a Five-Star Dou Saint to a Six-Star Dou Saint, the Stone Clan sturdy man's expression instantly turned very solemn.

Being able to raise a Five-Star Dou Saint to a Six-Star Dou Saint, this level of secret technique, even for him, was the first time he had seen it.

After all, upon reaching the Dou Saint realm, it is said that each star is a heaven apart.

Even within their ancient clan, only those of Dou Saint level or higher—bloodline possessors of eight grades and above—could use the clan patterns to temporarily boost some strength.

As for above Five-Star Dou Saint, only those with divine-grade bloodline have any use for it.

As for him, a possessor of nine-grade bloodline, in the Six-Star Dou Saint realm he fundamentally lacks that ability.

"It seems this kid really has some extraordinary fortune, actually being able to possess such a secret technique!"

Seeing Lin Feng able to increase his strength by a whole star in one breath, the Stone Clan Great Elder's eyes involuntarily flashed with greed.

The more means the other side has, the greater their fortune must be.

If he could obtain it, he might rely on those fortunes to break through to a higher realm.

Since the day of breaking through to Dou Saint, a human One-Star Dou Saint has a lifespan of a thousand years, and each further star breakthrough adds five hundred years.

Although he is already quite outstanding among the Stone Clan, having broken through to the mid-stage of Six-Star Dou Saint at just over two thousand years old, he is even expected to reach Seven-Star or even Eight-Star Dou Saint.

But if one could break through ahead of time, who wouldn't want that?

However, considering the opponent's current strength, which is only slightly below his by a small rank, his heart also quietly became very cautious.

"Phew, I never expected that the secret technique I created from the Hundred Samsara Reincarnation would actually succeed on my first attempt!"

At the same time, Lin Feng opposite felt the surging, unprecedentedly vigorous Dou Qi in his meridians, and involuntarily let out a long sigh, feeling a hint of luck in his heart.

After all, although he had organized the data and understanding of the Hundred Samsara Reincarnation during this period after breaking through to Dou Saint, he was still not very proficient with this secret technique.

But this time his luck seemed good, and he actually managed to successfully execute it.

"Hmph, mere trick—just prolonging your death a bit!"

Regarding Lin Feng, whose strength surged dramatically, the Stone Clan Great Elder, while inwardly wary, showed no mercy in his words, directly mocking him.

As soon as his words fell, he looked toward the three others led by a female Four-Star Dou Saint and shouted, "You three, capture that little girl; I'll deal with this person!"

"Yes, Great Elder."

Having received the order, the three immediately clasped their fists in acceptance.

As soon as the words fell, waves of fierce aura emanated from their bodies, then their forms turned into gray streams of light, flying toward Zi Yan.

At the same time, the Stone Clan Great Elder, who is called the Great Elder, also slightly closed his eyes and then suddenly opened them.

"Whoosh!"

As his eyes opened, a gray light suddenly shot from his eyes, illuminating the surrounding horizon.

At the instant his eyes opened, a violent aura surged from his body.

The terrifying pressure in that aura caused the very heavens and earth to change color.

At the same time, the Stone Clan Great Elder placed his hands before him and, as fast as lightning, formed seal after seal.

"Stone Wall Heaven-Piercing Body!"

The next moment, his muscles tensed throughout, veins bulged all over, his mouth opened and closed as he let out a fierce shout.

As his shout faded, the Stone Clan Six-Star Dou Saint's whole body suddenly burst forth with blinding gray light.

These eye-stinging lights, in the blink of an eye, enveloped the Stone Clan Great Elder's entire body.

However, these lights did not last long, soon dissipating.

And when the Stone Clan Great Elder reappeared within Lin Feng's sight after the light faded,

but his appearance was now completely different from before.

Previously three or four meters tall, his figure had now doubled; looking at him, the Stone Clan Great Elder now stood seven or eight meters high.

At the same time, his previously sturdy build became even more like a gray iron tower.

Moreover, his skin had been replaced by patches of gray stone of various sizes.

Looking around, the Stone Clan Great Elder now seemed less like a human and more like a stone monster.

"Roar!"

The next moment, the Stone Clan Great Elder turned stone monster let out a mighty roar toward the sky.

Then his massive foot stepped into the void, his form instantly turning into a black shadow that shot straight at Lin Feng opposite.

"Hmph, Yellow Spring Finger!"

Seeing the opponent move, Lin Feng snorted coldly from his nose, then his Dou Qi stirred, instantly condensing into an energy giant finger thousands of zhang in size.

Immediately after, he moved his finger and fiercely pointed at the Stone Clan Great Elder rushing forward.

As his finger descended, the energy giant finger above the sky followed suit, crashing down with thunderous rumble upon the high-speed moving figure below.

"Is this attack meant to tickle me?"

Gazing at the massive energy finger falling from the sky, the Stone Clan Great Elder not only felt no fear, but directly mocked Lin Feng.

As his words fell, he clenched a fist nearly the size of ten ordinary people and fiercely struck upward.

"Boom!"

At the instant the gray stone fist collided with the energy giant finger, the sky erupted with a thunderous roar.

However, shortly after the stone fist of the Stone Clan Great Elder met it, Lin Feng's energy giant finger suddenly shattered.

In the blink of an eye, that enormous yellow energy finger turned into countless energy fragments scattering across the sky.

"Rushing Rock Fist!"

After dealing with Lin Feng's fighting technique, the Stone Clan Great Elder suddenly bellowed, and a gray Qi flow on his fist seeped out from the pores on his arm like tiny gray snakes, then they all coiled around his fist.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his massive fist and, as his figure shot forward violently, he fiercely struck at Lin Feng's chest.

Hehe, since you say that's just a trivial trick, then I'll let you play with something better.

Seeing the attack coming, Lin Feng did not panic either, and immediately gave a cold laugh.

Then he didn't waste words, waving his palm, and torrents of golden flames surged out from within him; the flames spread, instantly forming a vast bronze-colored sea of fire surrounding him.

Immediately afterwards, he extended both hands and quickly formed seals.

As his hands turned into blurs, the Dou Qi within his body also began to flow along specific meridians.

At the same time, a wisp of his soul sense quietly came to the storage ring he kept in his bosom, ready to draw out the precious ninth-rank magic core inside at any moment.

"Supreme Mystic Fire Control."

However, before Lin Feng's words were finished, the Strange Fire within his body suddenly became frenzied.

This situation immediately forced Lin Feng, who was about to unleash the newly acquired heaven-rank high-level fighting technique, to stop instantly.

Holy shit, I'm done, the Strange Fire inside is causing my Dou Qi to lose control!

Sensing his Dou Qi and Strange Fire beginning to become chaotic, Lin Feng immediately cursed his mother.

After all, he was in battle, with a six-star mid-stage Dou Saint eyeing him like a tiger; if his Dou Qi loses control now, isn't he basically done for?

And the disturbance caused by his internal turmoil also successfully drew the attention of Zi Yan and the three Stone Clan Dou Saints on the other side.

At this moment, everyone present stopped their actions, gazing in astonishment toward Lin Feng's side.

Boom!

Just as everyone wondered what was happening, a fire pillar shot violently out from within Lin Feng's body and swiftly vanished into the distant sky.

Boom—rumble!

The instant that fire pillar disappeared into the horizon, the sky suddenly erupted into violent winds without warning, and the previously clear skies instantly turned overcast and gloomy.

Is this... the emergence of a strange treasure?!

Seeing this sudden development, the Stone Clan Great Elder froze on the spot, even forgetting the fighting technique in his hand, his eyes fixed on the abnormal sky above Lin Feng.

Although such a situation is extremely rare on the Dou Qi Continent, having witnessed so much over the past two thousand years, he still quickly recognized what this disturbance was.

But immediately afterward, he frowned in his mind and thought: "This kid, what exactly is he doing, why can he trigger a heaven-and-earth phenomenon that only occurs when a strange treasure or something extraordinary emerges?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become even more doubtful.

Such a disturbance, even if a ninth-grade precious pill were to emerge, could not possibly provoke it.

Moreover, the opponent is currently fighting him and isn't refining any pills, so where would a pill emergence come from?

Of course, if some low-bloodline demon beasts, through some method, complete a reverse ancestry, it could also provoke such a disturbance.

However, judging from the current situation, it clearly isn't that either.

After all, if a demon beast were truly undergoing reverse ancestry before his eyes, he would certainly not fail to sense the fluctuation of heaven-and-earth energy when its bloodline advances.

Bang!

The next moment, the bronze-colored Strange Fire within Lin Feng erupted violently, instantly sweeping across the entire sky within a thousand-li radius.

Meanwhile, the others, while retreating, also quickly mobilized their Dou Qi to condense a defensive barrier in front of them, blocking the incoming bronze-colored fire wave that surged like a tidal wave.

Hiss~

But as their defenses came into contact with that fire wave, the barriers before them instantly began to melt at extreme speed.

In less than the blink of an eye, their original Dou Qi barriers, which were a zhang thick, were reduced to less than a third of that thickness.

What an overwhelming destructive force, it can even burn my Dou Qi!

Sensing the overwhelming destructive force contained within that flame, the Stone Clan Great Elder's heart jolted, and a flash of shock instantly appeared in his eyes.

Although this level of attack still couldn't harm him, the fact that it could affect his Dou Saint power as a six-star Dou Saint still left him feeling shocked.

As for Zi Yan and the other three Stone Clan Dou Saints, they couldn't help but retreat far back in the face of that terrifying bronze-colored fire, only then feeling somewhat better.

However, as they retreated, Zi Yan's purple-brown beautiful eyes couldn't help but worryingly gaze at Lin Feng, who was submerged in the bronze-colored fire.

Although she didn't know what was happening, she could tell that the opponent's Strange Fire losing control in battle was certainly not a good thing.

However, at this moment, the Stone Clan female four-star Dou Saint who had noticed the color and power of Lin Feng's internal Strange Fire couldn't help but gaze doubtfully at the vast bronze-colored sea of fire before her.

She remembered that the last time she saw Lin Feng, his Strange Fire was dark red, and its power didn't seem nearly this terrifying!

Thinking of this, she was immediately shocked and wondered: "Could it be that this kid has fused a new flame during this period?"

Besides this possibility, she really couldn't think of any other explanation.

Boom—rumble!

At the same time everyone felt shocked, dark clouds gathered from afar, covering the sky above Lin Feng's head, and within them, bolts of thunder tens of zhang thick occasionally flashed.

Meanwhile, due to the loss of control of his Dou Qi and Strange Fire, the strength Lin Feng had previously boosted via a secret method vanished in an instant, dropping him back from a six-star Dou Saint to a five-star mid-stage.

And as those dark clouds appeared, a bronze-colored streak of light suddenly shot out from within Lin Feng's body and flashed to above his head.

Swish!

Faced with this suddenly appearing streak of light, everyone instantly focused their gazes on it.

As their gazes followed, they discovered that the bronze-colored streak of light appearing above Lin Feng's head was actually a young girl about eight or nine years old, wearing a bronze-colored dress and curled up.

What is this?

Upon seeing the little girl, the Stone Clan Great Elder's brows immediately knit together, not knowing what exactly she was.

However, he faintly sensed that the anomalies in this sky seemed to originate from that little girl!
