Chapter 332
Time, like flowing water, once gone, never returns.
Under the Tian Shan Xue Tan, Lin Feng and the two others, having completely entered a cultivation state, also utterly forgot the passage of time, immersed in cultivation.
But at the peak of the Tianmu Shanmai above the blood pool, at this moment fierce winds raged, wailing nonstop.
In a stone pavilion atop a mountain peak next to the Tianmu Shanmai, two aged figures stood with hands behind their backs.
"It's been almost two months, and those three have actually not withdrawn from cultivation at all, especially Lin Feng and Feng Qinger—the amount of energy they have currently absorbed already far exceeds what we absorbed when we broke through to Fighting Ancestor, sigh."
Gazing at the opposite mountain peak, the two energy vortices that had been continuously absorbing energy for a month, Jin Shi's tone was rather bitter.
If anything were to happen to Feng Qinger here, the entire Gold-devouring Rat Clan would surely suffer as well.
"It should be soon, right? Although these two are special, I, old man, don't believe they can keep absorbing indefinitely."
Gazing at the two massive energy vortices in the distance, Jin Gu stroked his beard, as if comforting himself.
"If by tomorrow there is still no news of those three, I will go down to the bottom of the blood pool to see whether they are still safe."
After pondering for a long time, Jin Shi immediately furrowed his brows and said.
These few people must not encounter trouble on the territory of the Gold-devouring Rat.
Moreover, Lin Feng is his lifesaver.
Although it was a transaction, no matter how you say it, the other party had saved his life.
Upon hearing that, Jin Gu also nodded helplessly.
He also knew in his heart the predicament they currently face.
"Boom!"
Just at the moment the two finished their discussion, the heaven and earth around the volcanic crater suddenly erupted with a violent rumbling sound.
Immediately, the energy in this heaven and earth violently surged.
And after that rumbling sound rang out, one could see the energy in the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly begin to gather together.
Subsequently, these energies seemed to be pulled by some kind of attraction.
They actually flowed in an orderly manner toward the interior of the blood pool, condensing and moving inward!
At this moment, on the water surface inside the blood pool, a huge water vortex unexpectedly appeared.
At the center of that water vortex, there was a pitch-black void.
And the energy in the surrounding heaven and earth all rushed frenziedly into that void.
"This is. It looks like someone among them has broken through to Fighting Ancestor. However, this commotion is too great!"
Gazing at the frantically surging heavenly and earthly energy in the distant sky, Jin Shi muttered.
"Boom!"
It seemed that a first wave of tremulous pull was occurring during their conversation.
Then, in this heaven and earth, another much weaker vibration occurred.
Streams of rich energy continually seeped out from the heaven and earth.
Under a mysterious pull, an endless stream flowed continuously into the blood pool, into those two vortices.
From afar, the entire Tianmu Shanmai was almost completely wrapped in variegated violent energy, extremely spectacular.
As more and more energy frenziedly surged into the bottom of the blood pool.
A mighty aura, like an awakening giant dragon, slowly permeated outward from the bottom of the blood pool.
Sensing that somewhat formidable aura, even Jin Shi and Jin Gu, who had long since advanced to Fighting Ancestor, were slightly moved.
"I don't know whether it's Lin Feng or Feng Qinger, but just this aura alone is already not the slightest bit weaker than an ordinary one-star Fighting Ancestor powerhouse."
Jin Shi raised his head to gaze at the distant scene, his tone tinged with some doubt.
As the aura emanating from the bottom of the blood pool grew stronger and stronger.
For a time, many powerful beings within a thousand li of the Tianmu Shanmai's surroundings sensed it.
And those powerhouses, as if in tacit understanding, all turned their gazes toward the direction of the Tianmu Shanmai.
"Hum!"
After such commotion continued for half a day, a formidable aura gradually permeated the entire Tianmu Shanmai.
"This is. Fighting Ancestor!"
Sensing that the energy fluctuation and aura had already stabilized, Jin Shi and Jin Gu spoke in unison.
The Fighting Ancestor realm is an important watershed on the Fighting Qi Continent.
Only by stepping into this level can a cultivator truly come into contact with the foundations of many top-tier abilities such as standing in the void and spatial manipulation.
Thereafter, the Fighting Sovereign and Fighting Saint realms are merely extensions of this foundation.
Soon after the first Fighting Ancestor aura appeared, a second, somewhat weaker Fighting Ancestor aura followed closely, impacting everything around.
At the bottom of the blood pool, Feng Qinger, who had successfully broken through to Fighting Ancestor, slowly opened her eyes filled with bloodshot.
At this moment, her exquisite face was full of excitement.
If not for the fluctuation when Lin Feng just broke through to Fighting Ancestor, which caused her to enter a rather mysterious state.
Given her condition at that time, at least another month would be needed before she could possibly succeed in breaking through.
However, after sensing her current internal condition, her delicate brows slightly furrowed as she murmured: "This Tian Shan Fire Poison is indeed terrifying; if not for good luck this time, borrowing that thread of fluctuation from Lin Feng's breakthrough to Fighting Ancestor, I fear I can only stay a few more days before having to leave."
Immediately, she turned her head and gazed at her clone beside her.
"I didn't expect that my clone could also seize this opportunity to advance to seven-star Fighting Emperor."
Feeling her clone's strength increase greatly, Feng Qinger's pink lips curled slightly, then she controlled the clone, having it directly sink into her own mind.
However, at this moment she was unable to see it.
Under the eyelids of that clone, her eyelids were likewise filled with bloodshot.
"Ugh ah~"
As the avatar merged with the main body, Feng Qinger's vermilion mouth suddenly let out a moan that sounded painful.
Strands of extremely hot dark-gray gas poured in large quantities from the avatar into her mind.
Then, starting from her mind, it quickly spread throughout her body.
Caught off guard, her mind was instantly completely occupied by the Fire Poison.
"Damn it, I forgot that this avatar also contains Fire Poison."
She felt a continuous stream of dark-gray qi flowing from the avatar.
At this moment, she finally recalled some things she had previously forgotten.
Under the continuous scorching of this extremely hot Fire Poison,
Her originally pink skin was quickly dyed crimson by a surge of energy.
She had no doubt that, if she were still a nine-star Dou Huang at this moment,
Even with the formidable physique of a magic beast, it would likewise be quickly burned to ash by this Fire Poison.
However, in this completely unprepared state, her mind was totally filled with the Fire Poison.
If she does not come up with a solution, she will likely be burned to a handful of ash after some time.
Moreover, due to the excessive heat, thin wisps of smoke began to rise from her skin.
Even her delicate body's high-quality clothing gradually became distorted under this high temperature.
Her eyelids, originally filled with bloodshot veins, instantly turned pure blood-red.
Those beautiful purple-brown eyes were completely concealed beneath the blood-red!
