837. The Two Heroes Stand in Confrontation
"Why wouldn't it be me?" Hunfeng's voice rang out.
Lei Dong was very familiar with Hun Feng because Hun Feng was the only person among the eight clans of his generation whom Lei Dong was not absolutely certain he could defeat. Hun Feng was also the most mysterious and unpredictable member of the younger generation of the Hun clan.
It is said that if it weren't for the insistence of some old guys, Hunfeng would have already become the young patriarch of the Hun clan. This also reflects that, like Lei Dong, Hunfeng is no longer just a prodigy, but has truly become involved in the core affairs of the clan.
The two have clashed several times over the years, but the battles have always ended inconclusively because neither can easily determine a winner. The most likely outcome is mutual destruction, or at least mutual damage and loss of their foundations.
This was unacceptable to the elders of the Thunder Clan and Soul Clan who had placed high hopes on the two. They had worked so hard to cultivate them, how could they be so easily destroyed? And after advancing to the Dou Sheng realm, the two never fought one-on-one again. So, even they themselves couldn't say for sure who was stronger.
But now that Lei Dong has seen Hun Feng, his vigilance has reached its peak.
However, he still grinned and mocked, "I never expected that you, the dignified young master of the Soul Clan, would have to rely on a quota from the Spirit Clan to sneak into this Heavenly Tomb like a rat? What, is the reputation of your Soul Clan so worthless in your heart as the young master?"
Upon hearing this, Hunfeng was not angry. Instead, she tapped her forehead with her slender, fair fingers and said, "Hey, Lei Dong, you're really giving me a headache."
"The Heavenly Tomb is a rare opportunity, and your constant pursuit of me only wastes your time and makes things more difficult. Wouldn't it be better if we kept to ourselves and each sought our own opportunities?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lei Dong grinned and said, "I have already advanced to the Dou Sheng level. According to the clan's plan, I shouldn't have been allowed to enter this Heavenly Tomb in the first place. But you are different from me. You even went so far as to lower yourself and use another clan's quota to sneak in."
"Whether it's you or the Soul Clan, they're all driven by self-interest. Their infiltration must have some ulterior motive, and it's definitely not ordinary. I should actually thank that kid Lei Jingxiao; it was a fortunate coincidence that allowed me to infiltrate and uncover your scheme!"
Although the Eight Clans are Dou Di families, their resources are not unlimited. Helping the younger generation of prodigies break through to the Dou Sheng level is a major event for each clan. Therefore, in general, to avoid wasting resources, they will not concentrate all resources on one or two individuals.
The fact that Hunfeng and Leidong were able to reach the Dou Sheng level indicates that they had already enjoyed the resources of other members of the Lei Clan and Hun Clan who were trying to break through to Dou Sheng. The fact that the two of them could reunite here now can be described as a coincidence.
Seeing this, Hunfeng's smile slowly faded, he stood with his hands behind his back, and his aura suddenly became dangerous.
Lei Dong, who was facing Hun Feng, also had an ominous premonition. Hun Feng suddenly brought him unprecedented pressure.
Looking at Lei Dong, whose body was crackling with lightning, Hun Feng chuckled softly: "Lei Dong, you're good in every way, except for being too arrogant. Since you insist on getting involved in this mess, then stay here forever!"
……
On the second level of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, surrounded by over a hundred Heavenly Tomb energy cores. However, these energy cores were currently almost completely depleted of their energy.
Surrounding Xiao Yan was a dragon of energy formed entirely from pure Dou Qi energy. This dragon was enormous and solid; it was not a physical object but rather composed of pure Dou Qi energy.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was like a bottomless pit, fully utilizing his cultivation technique to frantically absorb the Dou Qi contained within the Qi dragon. With each breath, a large amount of pure Dou Qi flowed into his body like rivers flowing into the sea. As the Dou Qi energy continued to be injected, the aura within Xiao Yan's body surged continuously.
As time passed, Xiao Yan continuously absorbed the pure Dou Qi contained within the Qi Dragon, causing the Qi Dragon's body to become thinner at a visible rate.
When the Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body reached a certain critical point, the attraction around Xiao Yan also instantly intensified. The extremely powerful Qi dragon directly transformed into an incredibly thick torrent of energy, which was completely absorbed into Xiao Yan's body. The Dou Qi instantly took effect within Xiao Yan's body.
The critical point that originally belonged to the early and middle stages of Dou Sheng was instantly shattered by the surging Dou Qi energy.
hum!
Xiao Yan's turbulent aura also stabilized completely at this moment. A silent wave of energy appeared around Xiao Yan, stirring up all the dust around him and creating a scene of dust covering the sky.
Amidst the dust and mist, Xiao Yan opened his eyes, and immediately it seemed as if purplish-red flames were burning within them. An uncontrollable power also erupted from Xiao Yan's body, scattering the surrounding dust and mist once again.
Mid-stage Half-Saint!
As Xiao Yan felt the surging, powerful Dou Qi within his body, a strong sense of power filled his limbs and bones, and an overwhelming excitement welled up in his heart.
After so much cultivation, finding numerous energy cores, and receiving a hundred energy cores from Ling Feng, Xiao Yan finally broke through to the early stage of the Half-Saint realm and reached the mid-stage of the Half-Saint realm in this Heavenly Tomb.
The mid-stage of the Half-Saint realm isn't really a new realm, but the amount of battle qi required is considerable. Fortunately, the breakthrough process doesn't take long, so he found this place to break through on his own.
It wasn't that Xiao Yan didn't want to be more cautious and wait until he found a companion to advance under supervision; it was simply that he felt extremely uneasy after learning of the Soul Clan's intrusion and their numerous schemes. Whether it was to reach his ancestor's tomb or to protect his companions, Xiao Yan needed power. Now that his strength had increased again, he felt much more confident facing the Soul Clan, the Ancient Clan, or the other members of the Eight Clans.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh. If he had simply cultivated honestly, even with the Burning Blade Technique already upgraded to a Heaven-rank technique, it would probably have taken him another six months to reach the mid-stage of Half-Saint. After entering the Heavenly Tomb, he not only saved six months, but the time he spent was also after the Heavenly Tomb slowed down. This was the enormous boost that a treasure land could provide to cultivation.
After experiencing the boost to the mid-stage of the Half-Saint realm for a while, Xiao Yan rushed into the light curtain. He had been staying on the second level of the Heavenly Tomb for quite some time, and now it was time to venture into the third level.
