Chapter 38
Li Lingtian was in shock while he stood in the formation. The white light immediately entered his body, and he felt like he had been submerged into a hot spring.
The white light had transported him to the rift before he could even react, but as he got nearer, the light started to tremble.
Li Lingtian was frightened to death. He was already well past 30 years old with his previous and current life added up. The opening seemed to sense that something was off, but it was unable to decide on his age.
“Swoosh.”
The rift’s trembling ceased. Li Lingtian’s body was forcefully thrown out and went straight through the opening.
After regaining his ability to react, he realized that he was amidst a grassy plain.
The warriors who had yet to enter the formation felt the opening tremble too. However, since no one was killed like in the previous situation, the other Warrior Ascendants had nothing to say.
“Hahahaha. You’re here at last. You’ve kept me waiting for the past 3000 reincarnation cycles, and you’re finally back.”
It was then when a faint voice came from the depths of Hidden Dragon Isle. All of Hidden Dragon Isle began to shake with uneasiness as if it was at the brink of destruction.
This only happened within a split second, but all the warriors who entered Hidden Dragon Isle had sensed the destructive Qi. When faced with this Qi of doom, they were all as helpless as a baby.
“What’s going on?”
“Are we going to die?”
“What a terrifying Qi.”
“It is the Ruination Qi, the Raging Qi.”
The warriors on Hidden Dragon Isle were petrified. As they looked at the sky, their gaze was restless and fearful, as if the world had come to an end.
Hidden Dragon Isle calmed down in an instant. It made what happened before seemed like a passing illusion where none of it was ever real.
‘So this is Hidden Dragon Isle.’
Li Lingtian glanced around using Divine Mindfulness to take a good scan of the surroundings after he descended. There was not a single soul nor demonic beast within a three-mile radius from him.
After he peaked at being a Tier Nine Warrior, his Divine Mindfulness was strong enough to scan up to three miles, which was similar to a Tier Nine Warrior Spirit.
A usual Tier Nine Warrior’s Divine Mindfulness could only see less than a mile, but he could see up to three miles. He could not have achieved this level of success without having the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation’s power and a Double Soul.
‘What a rich Spiritual Qi. I should look for a place to rest first and get my directions sorted out.’
Li Lingtian was surprised to see how substantial the Spiritual Qi was. It was so rich that his cultivation could speed up by just being there, which was much faster than consuming a grade one Vitality Pill.
Even if he did not manage to get all the medicinal supplies and treasures, the trip would be worth it if he were to cultivate for half a year.
The rich Spiritual Qi was beneficial for the herbs’ growth, and so precious medicinal supplies were plentiful. One would be out of luck if they found none.
That being said, Li Lingtian flew to one of the mountain summits in a swift move. It was necessary to take a break before planning the next step, especially when one knew nothing of the place which was filled with unknowns.
Li Lingtian meditated for a full hour in a cave. He then opened his eyes and strolled out with a confident smirk on his face.
Last time, when he competed against the Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse Tian He using Flaming Strength, he used Fire Dragon’s Heart to his advantage and got his hands on Heaven and Earth Conflagration. It was risky indeed, but Li Lingtian benefited from being able to further perfect his Flaming Strength.
His mastery over Fire Dragon’s Heart had improved, and it would not take long for the conception of his Flaming Divine Fist to occur as well.
On top of that, he also cultivated Heaven and Earth Conflagration. Li Lingtian’s cultivation barely scratched the surface, but an Earth Tier skill itself carried a great deal of power. Even at its surface, Flaming Divine Fist could not match up to it even at its best.
A display of Heaven and Earth Conflagration could turn the surrounding area of a little more than a hundred yards into a sea of flames. Mighty fires would lick the skies and not even a Warrior Spirit Powerhouse could get away from it.
What was more horrifying was that all demonic beasts and warriors that happened to be within that vicinity would have their True Qi absorbed by the warrior using the skill. This way, the user’s True Qi would be replenished, and Heaven and Earth Conflagration would be fortified.
The decrease of a Warrior’s speed and cultivation within an attack zone would be one of Li Lingtian’s trump cards.
Upon exiting the cave, Li Lingtian activated Divine Mindfulness. One and a half miles away, there were two Tier Three Warrior Spirit masters fighting each other. He wrinkled his brow ever so slightly.
“Rumble, rumble.”
At Hidden Dragon Isle, those two warriors spared no mercy for each other. They wanted to get it over and done with before it attracted other warriors, which would mean more trouble.
“Swoosh.”
A small sound zapped through the air. Li Lingtian descended and observed the fight between the two warriors from afar. His darting sight found a sprig of a hundred-year-old herb which emitted Spiritual Qi growing from the ground.
“A hundred-year-old Moon Falling Grass. Great, I’m keeping it.”
He applied Breeze Technique shortly after he spoke. This century-old sprig of herb was an important ingredient for the refinery of a Grade Three pill. It would be a waste if he did not take it.
Li Lingtian got hold of the century-old Moon Falling Grass in the blink of an eye. The two warriors were still fighting with all their might. He safely stashed the herb and grinned while he spectated the ongoing brawl.
“Oi, half-breed! Leave the Moon Falling Grass alone or else I’ll tear you up.”
Yang Ming flew into a rage when he saw that Moon Falling Grass had been picked up by a Warrior level disciple. They were risking their lives battling each other, but a rubbish Warrior took it to his advantage.
“You piece of sh*t, I’ll definitely kill you today.”
Zhou Qing stopped fighting and glared at Li Lingtian as well. The mediocre spiritual equipment he held was emitting gentle swirls of Spiritual Qi. An urge to kill rose from the bottom of his heart.
“You two pieces of rubbish are just risking your life over a sprig of a century-old Moon Falling Grass. Get lost.”
Li Lingtian icily uttered his words. He recalled that both of them were not from Sky Dragon Empire. Even if they were from Sky Dragon Empire, he would still get his hands on the things that he wanted.
“Skies Ablaze Sword!”
“Hundred Kills Fist!”
The two Warrior Spirits were stunned. Who would have thought that a Warrior level disciple could be that arrogant when faced with two Warrior Spirit level warriors. To say that they were infuriated was an understatement.
They leaped out of sight and bolted over toward Li Lingtian at full speed. Strong attacks were coming at him with merciless force. They reckoned this rubbish warrior could be slashed dead in one blow.
“Die.”
“Bright Moon in Soft Breeze!”
“Flaming Divine Fist!”
Li Lingtian was all smiles when he saw the two Tier Three Warrior Spirits coming at him with their attacks. He raised his arm and Astounding Sword appeared in his hand, which he then swung out with a light flick of his arm.
There was a sliver flicker of the sword’s reflection in the air. At the same time, Flaming Divine Fist was thunderously rolled out. Bright Moon and Soft Breeze were as fast as lighting while Flaming Divine Fist was invincible.
“Slash.”
“Clank.”
“Rumble.”
Astounding Sword was a strong and mighty peerless grade spiritual equipment. The existence of its grade was unparalleled among spiritual equipment. Li Lingtian’s display of the Bright Moon and Soft Breeze technique made it even more powerful.
Skies Ablaze Sword was cut into half. Blood started trickling through a cut on Zhou Qing’s neck. His widened eyes that were once filled with horror had now turned into despair.
Flaming Divine Fist was served in just a punch. Its mighty Flaming Strength was supported by Fire Dragon’s Heart’s undercurrent power. Yang Ming was thoroughly scorched.
“Two Tier Three Warrior Spirits huh. Not bad. Just that one could only be asking for death when faced with a peerless grade spiritual equipment and Flaming Divine Fist.”
Li Lingtian’s gaze swept across his fist and his peerless spiritual equipment while he commented indifferently. Those two Tier Three Warrior Spirit masters died before they could let out a cry, just like weaklings.
“Let’s not be wasteful here.”
Li Lingtian mumbled softly while going through Yang Ming and Zhou Qing’s storage sack. His methods were so skillful one could almost believe he was used to killing and looting.
“Swoosh.”
With his storage sack well packed, Li Lingtian employed the motion skill and dashed away from the scene. He was lost in the bushes within a flash. The two warriors shall be buried here forever.
Li Lingtian flew closer to the ground while using Divine Mindfulness to monitor his surroundings. If there were strong demonic beasts ahead, he would then take a detour. He took a glimpse at the blazing sun in the sky, picked a direction, and headed toward it.
One day passed ever so easily. Not only had he killed two Warrior Spirit Powerhouses, but Li Lingtian also killed two Tier Two Level Six demonic beasts. He did not need to search for materials anymore given his gain today. All that was left to do was just to harvest its internal vitals.
In this strange and unpredictable forest, anyone would be a fool to not look for a safe place for themselves.
Li Lingtian had a better understanding of Hidden Dragon Isle after sprinting around for a day. Hidden Dragon Isle was a lone island, and overall, a huge one.
Ten thousand warriors entered this space, yet he only met two of them today. One would have an idea on how huge the isle was by then.
It was impossible for anyone to be transported into Hidden Dragon Isle with someone they knew because the transmission was random, unless there was a coincidence.
“Growl.”
Deep into the night, the isle became a heaven for demonic beasts. The howls and growls echoed loudly within Hidden Dragon Isle. Li Lingtian found a cave on a cliff and decided that it would be his hiding spot.
