Chapter 177: Sacrifice

……

"Can it make it across?"

Watching the increasingly terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, Bing Di felt a bit worried.

If the tribulation failed, not even ashes would remain; it would be better to just let her swallow this bug directly.

"Although it is weak, its accumulation is sufficient," Nan Feng said.

Tian Meng's cultivation was built up by eating and sleeping; countless ten-thousand-year cold essences and top-tier treasures were consumed by him like meals.

This guy's combat power might be lacking, but when it comes to the depth of his foundation, even that Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the ocean, which grew to nine hundred and ninety thousand years through devouring, cannot compare to him.

Something that could be treated as a supplement by the Silver Dragon King could not possibly have a shaky foundation. The fact is, Tian Meng's foundation might be the most powerful one currently in existence.

"But after it passes the tribulation, won't it become especially strong? We won't be able to catch it, right?" Bing Di said.

A soul beast's Heavenly Tribulation is not just a disaster; it is also a transformation.

"It won't. It doesn't dare to run," Nan Feng said.

Originally, Tian Meng had been drained of his million-year cultivation by Di Tian and the others for ten thousand years, which resulted in Tian Meng not having long to live even if he successfully passed the tribulation.

But now, if this bug dares to run, it will have to face the pursuit of all the fierce beasts here.

Time passed second by second. The lightning tribulation first became thicker and thicker, then began to fall slowly. Finally, at the moment the sun set, the lightning tribulation dissipated, and an unprecedented aura poured down from the sky.

"Did it succeed?" Bing Di asked doubtfully.

It didn't look like a failed tribulation, nor did it look like a successful one.

"It's still alive, but it won't live long," Nan Feng said.

"Its origin was mostly sucked away by the fierce beasts here, leaving it drained."

Just after breaking through the Heavenly Tribulation, it should have been at the peak of its aura, but Tian Meng's aura was completely uncontrollable—it was leaking.

It was obvious that resisting the Heavenly Tribulation had exhausted all of its strength; it could no longer absorb the feedback from the tribulation.

"That... what's next?"

Tian Meng descended from the sky, looking a bit cowardly.

Although he was very excited now and wanted to announce his special existence, it was obvious that Di Tian and the others were looking at him with increasing hunger!

"Sacrifice yourself to me. What else do you want to do?" Nan Feng said.

"Leave a last will and testament?"

"Can... can I say a few words?" Tian Meng glanced toward Bing Di.

"Whatever," Nan Feng said.

Sacrificing to him was not the same as sacrificing to Huo Yuhao. Now, with the blessing of the Dragon Soul, he could withstand even a million-year spirit ring.

Therefore, Tian Meng could not pull that trick of keeping his spirit fully intact to hover in his mind; it could only fall into a deep sleep within the spirit ring.

"Bing Di, actually I..."

"Get lost!" Bing Di glanced coldly at Tian Meng.

"Fine! I'm getting lost!" Tian Meng turned around resentfully and looked at Nan Feng.

"Sacrificing!"

As soon as the words fell, a terrifying aura enveloped the entire Life Lake. Tian Meng's body began to become illusory, and several golden rings flew out from his body, flying toward Nan Feng.

"This is my spirit ring; each one has ten thousand years of cultivation. If you can't handle it, that's your own business!" Tian Meng said.

The vast majority of humans cannot even withstand a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, let alone one above ten thousand years. A spirit ring from a million-year soul beast like him could probably only be withstood by a god.

"Just pour it in," Nan Feng released two dragon souls, guiding Tian Meng's spirit ring toward the Ice Dragon Soul.

"???"

"What is he doing?" Zi Ji asked doubtfully.

Shouldn't a sacrificed spirit ring be attached to a human's martial soul?

Why is this guy guiding the spirit ring toward a dragon soul?

"Spirit attribute..." Bibi Dong's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"He can only do it this way."

"Why?" Bing Di asked doubtfully.

"If those spirit energies rushed directly into his brain, he... would most likely go crazy," Bibi Dong said.

Bing Di looked strange. "Will he go crazy now too?"

"Going crazy now is just the best-case scenario," Bibi Dong said.

"What I fear is that he won't be able to stop."

"Moreover, this kind of extreme madness is no joke. In a state without any reason, he might split apart."

The balance force within Nan Feng's body, when it cannot be balanced, will split Nan Feng into two parts to temporarily ease the conflict.

However, ever since Nan Feng reached level 70, he said he could no longer split, because if he split, the powers within him would also lose their balance, and then, he would explode!

That power of his is essentially balance; splitting is a wrong way to use it. And because he was very weak before, splitting for a while didn't have much impact, but now, he absolutely cannot split.

"Two dragon souls, then what does he count as?" Zi Ji asked. "A new Ice Dragon King? Or Fire Dragon King?"

"……"

"What's wrong?" Zi Ji asked doubtfully.

"He is not a Dragon King," Di Tian said.

"Of course, he also doesn't count as a human."

"Then what is he?" Zi Ji asked.

"……"

……

Wuhun City.

The participating teams from the two great empires and the spectators had mostly already entered the city. The Heaven Dou Empire's team had also arrived.

After settling the people from the Heaven Dou Royal Battle Team, Qian Renxue ran to the Pope Palace to find people, but she didn't find a single one.

Nan Feng was gone, and her mother was gone too!

"Grandfather, where are they?"

Qian Renxue quickly ran to the Angel Temple.

"They left," Qian Daoliu said with his eyes closed.

Qian Renxue was stunned. "Left? When?"

"They left a while ago," Qian Daoliu said.

"They even left their last words."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu took out the letter Nan Feng had given him.

"That kid gave this to you."

Qian Renxue's expression was somewhat unnatural. "What is written?"

"Written... cough, cough, I didn't read it," Qian Daoliu turned away.

He had read it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease! Nan Feng's ability to fool people was something even he couldn't withstand! Let alone Qian Renxue, this blockhead.

"What exactly did he write?" Qian Renxue asked.

Qian Daoliu turned back. "It's just a last will. He said if he can't come back, you should run away when you need to. You can't beat Bibi Dong, so don't throw your life away."

"Besides that, don't worry about his mess."

Qian Renxue looked puzzled. "Why would it be a last will?"

"Isn't he planning to fake his death?"

"Fake his death?" Qian Daoliu's eye twitched.

You believe such nonsense? Bibi Dong has already made such a scene! Fake his death, my foot!

Nan Feng dared to risk his life with him when he was just a level 40 Spirit Ancestor! But back then, that guy didn't say any last words, and Bibi Dong didn't stop him.

But now, not only can Bibi Dong not stop him, but Nan Feng himself is also arranging his affairs! How could this possibly be a fake death? "Cough, cough, he's probably afraid of accidents. You know that kid—he does whatever comes to his mind," Qian Daoliu said.

"Then where did they go now?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Didn't we agree to wait until the finals to make a move?"

"……"

……

"Where are they?"

At the Spirit Hall Academy, Qian Renxue ran to find Hu Liena.

She had just asked everywhere in the Pope Palace; even Yue Guan and Gui Mei didn't know where Nan Feng and the others had run off to.

"I don't know," Hu Liena looked blank.

"He just told me to delay the start time of the Spirit Master Tournament."

"Delay for how long?" Qian Renxue asked.

"He said to delay as long as I can until he returns. If I really can't delay it anymore, let the Grand Elder handle it," Hu Liena said.

Qian Renxue frowned. "What else did he tell you to do?"

"He said if you come to find me, give this to you," Hu Liena took out another letter.

Qian Renxue took it and opened it to read.

【You're actually reading it? <()]

"……" Qian Renxue.

F***!
