Chapter 140: Fierce Battle!-Leveling Up Infinitely in a Fantasy World(The Invincible Emperor)

"Roar!"

Knocked flying by a single blow from Qin Feng, the gigantic lion-beast let out a frantic roar of agony. Fixing its bloodshot eyes dead on Qin Feng, it charged at him with blistering speed.

"Die!"

"I must kill it, or I am the one who dies."

Qin Feng's blood surged within him. With the blazing sun at his back and his combat power unleashed to the absolute limit, the Halberd of Heavenly Guidance in his hand radiated a dazzling brilliance as he closed in on the beast.

Above the sea surface, the giant octopus beast sensed the violent collision of two formidable auras erupting from the island. A cunning gleam flashed in its eyes as it slowly edged closer to the shore.

"Die!"

Pushing his speed to the absolute limit, Qin Feng darted back and forth through the air, dodging every single one of the lion-beast's onslaughts.

After about three minutes of intense combat, Qin Feng had completely gauged the lion-beast's combat prowess: its raw strength was on par with his own.

"Die!"

Though Qin Feng's physical frame was minuscule in comparison, allowing him to nimbly evade the beast's attacks, the lion-beast could not effortlessly dodge his counterstrikes. Before long, it was covered in wounds under Qin Feng's relentless assault.

"Time to die!"

Leaping onto the lion-beast's back, Qin Feng let out a fierce roar and drove the Halberd of Heavenly Guidance straight into its spine, sprinting wildly across its back while gripping the weapon.

The heavy halberd carved a massive gash right down the beast's spine all the way to its tailbone, sending a spray of blood into the air.

"Roar!"

The lion-beast let out a agonized roar, its body thrashing violently as it charged blindly into the surrounding mountain peaks.

"Spit!"

Qin Feng shook his head, clearing the dizziness caused by slamming into the mountain alongside the beast.

"What tenacious vitality."

Qin Feng remained firmly embedded in the lion's flesh.

"Very well, I'll carve open your belly next. Let's see if you die then!"

A fierce, ruthless glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes. With a sudden roll of his body, he dropped straight beneath the lion-beast's belly.

"Boom!"

Channeling his absolute maximum strength, three hundred phantom soaring serpents danced in the void around him. He drove both arms forward, plunging the halberd deep into the lion's abdomen.

The halberd sank deep into the beast's flesh.

"Roar!"

The lion-beast roared in agony, thrashing its body frantically in an attempt to shake Qin Feng off.

"Perish!"

Clinging desperately to the halberd, Qin Feng flew in the exact opposite direction of the beast's thrashing momentum, tearing a massive gash open across its stomach.

"Roar..."

The lion-beast's agonizing cries echoed endlessly as its colossal body collapsed heavily onto the ground.

Gasps over four meters long now gaped across both its back and its belly, with blood continuously gushing out.

Even its intestines began spilling out from the wound on its abdomen.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Leaping down from the beast's carcass, Qin Feng hovered high in the air, coughing up a few strands of blood.

The violent thrashing and the impact against the mountain peaks just moments before had still taken a toll on him, jarring his physical body and injuring his internal organs.

"Die!"

With a roar, Qin Feng dove straight down from the sky. He intended to deliver the coup de grâce to the lion-beast and completely snuff out its life.

"Roar..."

Sensing a fatal threat, the lion-beast struggled frantically, but having been disemboweled with the majority of its life force drained away, it was utterly unable to rise again.

"Boom!"

As Qin Feng plummeted, the full force of his momentum converged entirely upon the halberd, striking squarely down upon the lion-beast's head.

"Crash."

The Halberd of Heavenly Guidance pierced straight through the beast's skull, completely severing its remaining life force.

"Phew!"

"As expected of the Sea of Death!"

Wrenching the halberd free, Qin Feng jumped down from the beast's corpse.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, three piercing whistles split the air as massive tentacles descended from above, whipping fiercely toward Qin Feng.

The octopus beast had arrived. Seizing the moment right after Qin Feng and the lion-beast had exhausted each other in victory and defeat, it launched a sneak attack.

"Damned bastard, resorting to a cowardly ambush from behind."

"Unforgivable!"

"Die!"

Seeing the octopus beast arrive—and feeling enraged by its cowardly blind-side attack—Qin Feng let out a furious roar.

His blood boiled with the urge to instantly slaughter the creature. Waving his halberd, he unleashed a dazzling ray of light that met the three incoming tentacles head-on.

"I refuse to believe you can survive on land indefinitely!"

Deflecting the three tentacles with a single strike, Qin Feng retreated swiftly, widening the distance between himself and the octopus.

This octopus beast was far more troublesome to deal with than the lion-beast.

Equipped with hyper-flexible tentacles and an astonishing regenerative capability, simply severing its limbs would not inflict truly crippling damage.

"This is going to be a war of attrition!"

"When it comes to wars of attrition, I've never feared anyone. Come on!"

Roaring defiantly, Qin Feng gripped his halberd and charged back onto the offensive.

His body possessed terrifying regenerative powers; any injuries he sustained healed rapidly, and even his exhausted stamina and true Qi could be swiftly replenished.

Moreover, as his physical strength continued to grow, this monstrous recovery ability grew ever stronger.

"Boom!"

Qin Feng and the giant octopus locked into a fierce battle, the deafening explosions flattening everything in their path.

"Are you at your limit?"

After battling the octopus for five days straight—during which Qin Feng had already severed five of its tentacles—he parried yet another strike from the creature.

He could feel the octopus's attacking power weakening; it was no longer capable of forcing him back.

Excitement flashed in his eyes as he let out a long whistle. The halberd in his hand flashed with wave after wave of brilliant light as he relentlessly hammered the beast.

"Whoosh!"

Having depleted over half its stamina and suffering from severe dehydration, the octopus realized it had to return to the sea. It turned and fled rapidly toward the ocean.

"You cannot escape!"

Seeing the octopus attempt to flee, Qin Feng lunged forward with explosive speed, grabbing hold of one of its thick tentacles.

"Die!"

With a mighty heave, Qin Feng drove his halberd straight through the tentacle, pinning it viciously to the ground.

"Kill!"

Roaring angrily, his body shielded by protective astral Qi, Qin Feng charged directly at the octopus beast. Pummeling the air with his fists, he rained massive fist-images down upon its body.

"Boom!"

The octopus tried desperately to drag itself toward the sea, but Qin Feng refused to give it a single opening, beating the colossal creature into a pulp of flesh and blood right on the shore.

...

"I wonder if its bones can be used to strengthen my weapon!"

After treating himself to a hearty meal of flesh from both the lion-beast and the octopus, Qin Feng fell into deep contemplation as he looked upon the lion's skeleton.

"Let's test it!"

Acting on the thought immediately, Qin Feng channeled his true Qi into the divine technique residing within his dantian: the Heavenly Fiend Weapon-Devouring Art.

Instantly, the spell talisman formed by the technique inside his dantian erupted with brilliant light, flying out to hover suspended in mid-air.

The radiant glow emitted by the talisman enveloped the halberd and the lion-beast's skeleton, causing the bones to rapidly melt and fuse into the weapon.

A handful of impurities within the halberd were squeezed out in the process, dropping uselessly onto the ground.

...

"It has already reached the strength of twenty-five soaring serpents!"

A year later, Qin Feng weighed the halberd in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and murmured softly to himself.

He had spent a full year inside the Sea of Death, hunting down numerous fierce beasts during his journey and melting their skeletal remains into the weapon.

"According to the markings on the map, the region ahead should be the Tianshui Domain, one of the nine great domains of the Dragon Soar Continent."

Retrieving the map, Qin Feng glanced around his surroundings. A deep smile spread across his face as he murmured.

"Upon reaching the Tianshui Domain, I must gather medicinal herbs as quickly as possible to break through my cultivation to the Qi Martial Realm."

Having spent a year flying through the Sea of Death, his cultivation had long since reached the threshold of a breakthrough, yet he had remained blocked due to a lack of sufficient spiritual herbs.

"Is this a five-thousand-year spiritual herb?"

Having entered the Tianshui Domain and chosen a direction to fly in hopes of finding a city and familiarizing himself with the territory, Qin Feng suddenly spotted a spiritual herb growing below him. Moreover, it was a five-thousand-year-old specimen wreathed in five distinct layers of white halo.

"Whoosh!"

A wave of wild elation surged through his heart. Just as he was preparing to hunt for medicinal herbs to break through his realm, he stumbled upon a five-millennium treasure.

He quickly descended toward the herb.

"Such a fine treasure!"

Carefully harvesting the five-thousand-year-old herb, Qin Feng stored it safely inside a brocade box.

"Stop right there!"

"Hand over the spiritual herb."

Two fierce shouts rang out from the distance as two young martial artists clad in dark-cyan robes flew rapidly toward him.

Reaching Qin Feng's location, Zhou Xuan and Zhou Hao stared fixedly at the brocade box in his hands with undisguised greed gleaming in their eyes.
