Chapter 1374: So This Is What It Means to Eat One's Own Words

"Sorry, we are taking this sky-tier cultivation ground!"

Ling Feng let out a low shout. A blood-red Ghost Eye opened on his forehead. In that instant, the Ghost Eye ray, Terrifying Gaze, Reality Reversal, and the Nightmare Heart Technique erupted together. Four layers of Soul Dao attacks burst forth at the same time.

"

Mhm!

"

Chu Tiange let out a muffled groan. The spiritual consciousness barrier formed within his sea of mind shattered in an instant.

In the moment his mind wavered, Ling Feng closed in. He took out several golden needles and drove them straight into Chu Tiange's dantian, sealing his meridians.

This man was not easy to deal with. Only by sealing his meridians with golden needles could Ling Feng feel at ease.

Slap!

With a palm strike, Ling Feng sent Chu Tiange flying. His own body swayed slightly as a wave of weakness surged through his mind. Releasing four layers of Soul Dao attacks at once placed a heavy burden on him.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Chu Tiange lived up to his reputation. Even after being caught off guard like this, he regained his senses with astonishing speed. He staggered back more than ten steps before steadying himself. His gaze locked onto Ling Feng, filled with shock and uncertainty.

"Well done, brat! You even kept something like this hidden!"

Because this was not a life-and-death battle, Ling Feng had held back at the final moment. Chu Tiange had not suffered any serious injuries. However, his sea of mind was in turmoil and would need several hours to recover.

"Senior Brother Chu, forgive the offense!"

Ling Feng cupped his fists in salute. Winning this way was not exactly honorable, but if he wanted to secure the sky-tier cultivation ground, he had no choice but to rely on this kind of method.

If he had activated Chaotic Rebirth to fight Chu Tiange head-on, he might have won. However, there would have been no way to stop at just sparring.

In the state of Chaotic Rebirth, his mind would be consumed by madness, and the killing intent surging within him was almost impossible to restrain.

"

Hmph!

I, Chu Tiange, am not someone who cannot accept defeat!"

Chu Tiange flicked his sleeve and gave Ling Feng a long look before speaking slowly. "You are Ling Feng, the outer sect disciple who defeated Wang Ruquan, correct?"

"That is me." Ling Feng nodded without saying more.

"Good. I will remember you."

Chu Tiange sneered, then turned to glare at Xu Xinghe. "Xu Xinghe, I did not lose to you this time. I lost because I was careless. You won't get another chance next time!"

With that, Chu Tiange swept his sleeve and leapt away toward the earth-tier cultivation grounds.

With his strength, seizing an earth-tier cultivation ground would be effortless even with his qihai sealed by golden needles.

At most, it would take him three hours to force the needles out of his body. By then, however, the contest period would already be over. No matter how unwilling he felt, he would not be able to reclaim the sky-tier ground.

"

Hmph!

You have already lost, yet you still put on airs!"

Xu Xinghe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. A rush of relief and delight surged in his heart. He looked at Ling Feng and laughed aloud. "Brat, you really are something!"

Li Fei and Feng Ling also showed faint smiles. Looking at the sky-tier cultivation ground before them, all their efforts had finally paid off.

Princess Qian Ling wiped the sweat from her face. Her clothes were soaked through. Although she had not fought Chu Tiange head-on, she had been terrified all the same.

At that moment, they had actually seized a sky-tier cultivation ground. It felt like a dream. She said in disbelief, "I cannot believe we really succeeded. This is a sky-tier cultivation ground!"

Ling Feng gave a faint smile. Then his body went limp and he fell backward.

Li Fei, who was closest, reacted instantly and caught him.

"Junior Brother Ling Feng, how are you feeling?" Yan Guying hurried over, his face full of concern.

Feng Ling bit her lip lightly. "

Hmph! That arrogant jerk always insists on pushing himself! Now you see the price you pay!

"

Anyone could tell that Ling Feng had overdrawn far too much of his spiritual consciousness, which was why he looked so weak.

"It is nothing serious. I just need to rest for a while."

Ling Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. He had not expected the experts ranked within the top thirty of the Creation Star Ranking to be this terrifying. Thankfully, Xu Xinghe had joined them. Otherwise, with only Li Fei and Feng Ling, he might not even have found a chance to strike.

The Dongling Immortal Pool truly was a gathering place of geniuses!

A surging battle will welled up in Ling Feng's eyes. After this battle, he found himself looking forward even more to the truly outstanding geniuses he would encounter next.

Only by clashing with such talents could he be pushed to grow stronger without end.

"What a monster! He looks half dead, yet he is still brimming with such terrifying battle will!"

Feng Ling muttered. In her heart, however, her view of Ling Feng shifted slightly.

This arrogant jerk can be surprisingly reliable at times!

With Chu Tiange driven away, the group naturally took over the sky-tier cultivation ground.

Princess Qian Ling spread her arms and took a deep breath. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed in delight, "The spiritual energy here is so rich. It is far stronger than in the earth-tier grounds! This spiritual energy is so refreshing that it seeps straight into the heart! I really spoke too soon earlier!"

"

Hehe!

"

Feng Ling sneered. "Just a moment ago, someone was muttering nonstop about how it was impossible to succeed. Now that person is the first to admit they were wrong."

"I... I..."

Princess Qian Ling blushed crimson with embarrassment. Xu Xinghe laughed loudly to ease the mood. "Enough, do not tease her. To be honest, I did not even believe this plan would succeed. I only wanted to take this chance to challenge Chu Tiange. I never expected we would actually pull it off. Junior Brother Ling Feng, you really are someone who creates miracles! You are anything but simple!"

"Create miracles..."

Princess Qian Ling clenched her small fists. That was right. From the qualification assessment onward, had this so-called weakling at the early stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm not been creating miracles again and again?

"Senior Brother, you flatter me."

Ling Feng smiled and shook his head. After swallowing several medicinal pills, he regulated his breathing for a while before standing up. He gave Li Fei a slight nod of thanks for supporting him earlier, then spoke. "Senior brothers and senior sisters, could you tell me about the Great Emperor Spiritual Domain at the innermost area?"

Xu Xinghe's eyelids twitched. He quickly said, "Junior Brother Ling Feng, being able to seize a sky-tier cultivation ground is already more than enough. As for the Great Emperor Spiritual Domain inside, that is impossible. With our combined strength, we still would not be able to break through the spiritual barrier."

Li Fei also spoke in a serious tone. "The Great Emperor Spiritual Domain is indeed the place with the richest spiritual energy within the Earth Emperor Pool. There are even rumors that it is directly connected to the Immortal Jade Pool of the Heavenly Realm, where one can glimpse the source of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang. However, without stepping into the Great Emperor realm, it is absolutely impossible to enter that domain."

"Hmph! Arrogant jerk also has his limits!"

Feng Ling snorted softly. "Do you know that apart from the one ranked first on the Creation Star Ranking, no one else has ever stepped into the Great Emperor Spiritual Domain? And you think you can? Do not overestimate yourself! The spiritual barrier cannot be broken by your little tricks. Be content with securing the sky-tier cultivation ground."
