Chapter 49: Zhu Xuelian (5)

The words from Lan Xiaohui are filled with such a dark and fierce intent that even they contain sword Qi, and they cut deep into Li Fengs heart figuratively and cause him to tremble. Now, Li Feng battles the opposing forces of regret and ironclad pride that he no doubt cultivated by relying on this mysterious Li family.

It is very likely that Li Feng has never met any real opposition and this is made even more obvious by having such followers like Zhao Wei who praise him and hold him in high regard. This is how Li Feng raises his head above the clouds on the praise of others even though his rightful place is nowhere near such a lofty achievement.

His foundation is deep and strong; his Dao is advanced; his treasures are expensive; his experience is solid. But his arrogance is a double-edged sword. Anyone can be domineering and fierce against a weaker opponent.

Yet how many times has Li Feng fought to the death against someone who could be his equal blow for blow?

Lan Xiaohui is different. Compared to Li Feng, only her foundation is lacking. Yet she has fought for her life against stronger opponents, and even spared the weaklings.

She has sharpened her Dao to the point where even her words can cut the inner heart.

Li Feng is only a stepping stone in her eyes. Li Feng is only a transient shadow a cloud passing beneath the sun; leaves falling in the autumn.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Li Feng shouts and pours his Qi into his damaged treasure, he even burns his life essence to do so and inadvertently reverses his cultivation in the process for a brief moment. I understand why. This may damage his future, but if he dies here, he will have no future left.

I feel an ember of excitement build within me. Whether it is mine or Lan Xiaohuis, I cannot tell. Perhaps both.

Li Fengs eyes widen.

Heartless Blood Lily, Lan Xiaohui whispers. Autumn-Severing Petals.

In the burst of energy and sword Qi that takes the shape of black and red lily petals, Li Fengs severed head appears briefly and is then annihilated by the surrounding cluster of sword Qi. The top of his body is torn to shreds by such forces that it appears as if it is melting away under Lan Xiaohuis horizontal slash.

My aperture opens at that moment, and I do not resist it. I want to devour a living cultivator.

Immediately, I feel an influx of powerful life essence as Li Fengs body properly melts away this time, disappearing like black smoke within my gleaming black jade. I feel a sensation similar to enlightenment or insight, and distant memories rush through my sea of consciousness as Li Fengs is devoured.

[ Life Devourer (Trait - Emperor) ->World Eater (Talent - Immortal) ]

Many things happen at once.

A new array appears on my core but before I get a chance to divert my attention to it, Li Fengs ring falls to the ground, trembles, and then spills forth a sea of materials, manuals and various treasures. Immediately, all of these begin to float towards my open aperture, passing through the new array on my core. They are instantly annihilated and besides the black blob that appears inside my sea of consciousness, I also feel improvements to my soul perception, sea of consciousness and even my [Critical Analysis] talent.

At the same time, Zhao Wei shouts: Demon! Demonic arts! You are a but before he gets to finish the sentence, Lan Xiaohui pierces his throat with my vessel.

This time, even with my aperture open, his body does not dissolve or turn into blood points. The spatial ring I once compared myself to is ripped to shreds, and flows into my aperture. Good. How dare it be higher grade than my array?

I can tell that deciphering all of this will likely induce another headache, so I go ahead and purchase the [Nooparallelism] talent so I can leave the headache part to a sub-process.
