Chapter 102: Divine Ability: Heavenly Fiend Weapon-Devouring Art!

"Boom!"

The Northern Martial King’s entire body was sent flying, slamming into the ceiling of the tunnel.

"Pfft."

When he hit the ground, he landed on his knees, bracing himself with his hands to keep from collapsing completely. Blood dripped continuously from his mouth as he struggled to rise, but it was impossible. He tried again and again, his face twisted in a mask of defiance; he was unwilling to die like this. His heart had taken a direct, devastating blow, leaving it half-shattered, and his life force was rapidly fading. He was only holding on to his final breath through the sheer, formidable strength of a Human King realm martial artist.

"Flee!"

Seeing the Northern Martial King mortally wounded, the Heavenly Succession King’s expression turned wild with terror. He retreated violently, sprinting toward the tunnel exit. If even a late-stage Human King like the Northern Martial King was no match for Qin Feng, he certainly stood no chance. All thoughts of battle vanished, replaced solely by the desperate urge to escape. Qin Feng was a source of great terror—he was invincible!

"Boom!"

Seeing the Heavenly Succession King fleeing, Qin Feng stomped hard on the ground, his body shooting forward like a bolt from a crossbow.

"Boom!"

As Qin Feng closed the distance, he poured his strength into his arms, raising his Fangtian Halberd high and smashing it down toward the Heavenly Succession King.

"No!"

The Heavenly Succession King had already become a blur of motion, his heart gripped by a sense of extreme urgency. He felt the lethal threat behind him growing closer. As he sensed the violent gale of the incoming strike, he realized he was already enveloped by Qin Feng’s attack, and he let out a roar of despair and unwillingness.

"Boom!"

Qin Feng’s strike landed. The violent, terrifying, and vast power instantly tore through the Heavenly Succession King’s protective aura, obliterating him into a mist of blood.

*Thud.*

A spearhead fell to the ground, embedding itself into the earth.

"A spearhead?"

Qin Feng picked it up, clenching his palm tightly around it. "This object is extraordinary! I’ll take it back to study."

Even with Qin Feng exerting his full strength, the spearhead remained unscathed. In fact, its tip was so sharp that it pierced through Qin Feng’s own defenses. He tucked it into his robe to examine later and walked toward the Northern Martial King.

When he reached him, he saw the King’s head hanging low. There was no life left in him; he had clearly perished.

"Boom!"

To ensure there were no tricks, Qin Feng struck the Northern Martial King’s body with his halberd once more, the tremendous force shattering the internal organs within the corpse. Even if the King had been faking his death, he was now truly gone.

"Three Origins Unified Art."
"Divine Ability: Great Sun Holy War Technique."

Qin Feng rummaged through the Northern Martial King’s belongings, looting a stack of banknotes and two secret manuals, which he quickly tucked away.

"My Lord, let's go."

Qin Feng walked over to the Marquis of Heavenly Monarch, helped him up, and unleashed his full speed, rushing out of the tunnel. The power unleashed during their battle had been so immense that the tunnel was trembling and on the verge of collapse.

*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*

Qin Feng dragged a trail of afterimages as he supported the Marquis. Along the way, he passed the corpses of Yin Popai and Hou Baizhun.

"Boom!"

Just as Qin Feng sprinted a hundred meters past the mountain, the entire peak collapsed, burying the remains of Yin Popai, Hou Baizhun, the Northern Martial King, and the Heavenly Succession King’s forces.

...

"Flying Dragon Sacred Canon."
"Mystic Thunder True Technique."
"Eight Desolations Precious Manual."
"Martial Combat Sacred Technique."
"Three Origins Unified Art."
"Divine Ability: Great Sun Holy War Technique."
"A seemingly simple spearhead."

After returning to Tiger Prison Pass, Qin Feng entered his quarters and laid out everything he had obtained from the Xuan Tian Sect’s treasury. He set the first four manuals aside; he had already studied them, and they were merely Human King-level techniques.

"Three Origins Unified Art!"

Qin Feng picked it up and began to read, his expression growing increasingly excited. This was a manual that could guide a practitioner from the Garrison General realm all the way to the Human Emperor realm! He was overjoyed; with this in his possession, he would not have to worry about his path forward once he reached the peak of the Human King realm—he could ascend directly to the Human Emperor realm.

"Divine Ability: Great Sun Holy War Technique!"

"A divine ability? Is it like the ones in the myths of my past life?"

Qin Feng scanned the manual, his eyes thoughtful as he carefully flipped through the pages.

"Divine abilities are transcendent and holy, possessing all sorts of incredible powers. They are the miraculous feats created by the supreme masters of martial arts who have glimpsed the profound mysteries of the world."

"Divine Ability: Great Sun Holy War Technique, First Layer! Your blood energy manifests as a sun, increasing your combat power by onefold."

Qin Feng read quickly. Upon finishing, he was filled with shock, awe, and excitement. A divine ability that could double his combat power was truly incredible.

"It’s a pity it isn't complete."

A moment later, Qin Feng sighed. He had only obtained the first volume. The complete Great Sun Holy War Technique consisted of ten volumes, and at its peak, it could increase combat power by tenfold.

"And this spearhead."

He set the manual aside and picked up the spearhead, careful to avoid the sharp tip. "What kind of material was this forged from? When complete, what a sharp and divine weapon it must have been."

Qin Feng gazed at the spearhead with fervent eyes. Who wouldn't want such a weapon?

"A pity there is only the head." He stroked it and sighed, then paused. "Wait, are these characters?"

As he traced the metal, his expression shifted. He focused his gaze on the surface.

"Divine Ability: Heavenly Fiend Weapon-Devouring Art."

"It's actually a divine ability!"

Qin Feng read the characters aloud, his face lighting up with excitement. He grabbed a blank book and copied down the inscriptions. It was a divine ability for forging weapons: one could condense weapons from blood energy, reinforce them with precious materials, and allow them to grow stronger by devouring spiritual energy, blood, and ores. They could even be stored directly within one’s body.

"The harvest from this trip is simply unfathomable. I feel as though there is a much wider, more miraculous world hidden within the Xuanwu Continent."

After his seclusion, Qin Feng headed to the Marquis of Heavenly Monarch’s room to bid farewell and return to Qin City in Yuntian County. However, the Marquis had been severely injured and was still in deep recovery, having not yet emerged from his own seclusion.

Deciding to stay for the time being, Qin Feng returned to seclusion himself, preparing to practice the Divine Ability: Great Sun Holy War Technique.
