King of Gods

Chapter 1278 – Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Vein

With Zhao Yufei using her full strength, the gray-clothed man slowly lost ground. After fighting for a little longer, the gray-clothed man conceded.

There was already no doubt that Zhao Yufei was the strongest person competing at the Rank Four True God stage.

Once the battle was over, Zhao Yufei looked over at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng nodded, and Zhao Yufei immediately revealed a beaming smile.

With Zhao Yufei’s match over, Zhao Feng took a glance at the battle going on at his stage.

The one fighting at this time was Zhang Yutong. He appeared to have gotten quite a bit stronger than he was before. Together with his Spiritual Race bloodline, he was one of the more outstanding Rank Six True Gods.

Half a day passed. The Ancient God stage had the fewest people, so the contest there was already approaching its end.

“It’s Zhao Feng’s turn again!”

“His opponent is True God Long Yuan!”

True God Long Yuan was a peak Rank Six True God with the Spiritual Race bloodline. He was one of the strongest experts at the Rank Six True God stage.

At this time, the only two people who hadn’t lost yet were True God Long Yuan and Zhao Feng. Thus, this was a highly anticipated match.

“Please instruct me!” True God Long Yuan seriously said.

After saying this, he activated his Spiritual Race bloodline. His entire body glimmered with icy light while the pressure of a dominating bloodline swept through the stage.

Swish!

Zhao Feng immediately blinked next to True God Long Yuan and casually unleashed a palm.

What incredible speed! True God Long Yuan quickly reacted, using his Divine Power and bloodline to bolster the defense of the area Zhao Feng was attacking and successfully blocking it.

Zhao Feng didn’t stop though, blinking to another side and once more slapping his palm down.

Long Yuan was forced into passive defense with no opportunity to attack.

“Ha!” True God Long Yuan bellowed, pushing his bloodline to its limits so that he could ignore an attack from Zhao Feng and launch a furious assault of his own.

The crystalline light around him transformed into an enormous ice dragon that charged forward.

“Heaven-Incinerating Lightning Fire!”

Zhao Feng converted his Five Elements Tribulation Lightning Divine Power to Fire Tribulation Lightning Divine Power and fired off a palm.

Brrrooom!

This palm charged into True God Long Yuan’s attack like a devil of lightning and fire.

As for Zhao Feng himself, after firing off this palm, he blinked into one of True God Long Yuan’s blind spots and launched a fierce attack.

Plush!

True God Long Yuan vomited blood and gradually lost ground. After three more exchanges, he conceded.

“Even True God Long Yuan lost!”

“Zhao Feng is extremely fast while his attacks are strong. Not even True God Long Yuan could do anything about it…”

Previously, only Zhao Feng and True God Long Yuan had been undefeated, but now, True God Long Yuan had lost to Zhao Feng.

In the sky, the authoritative Elders of the Spiritual Race were looking at True God Long Yuan.

“True God Long Yuan’s talent isn’t bad. At such a young age, he’s already managed to reach Rank Six True God. Alas, Zhao Feng has completely outshone him!”

“A Spiritual Race disciple of suitable age. Put him on the list!”

The three Ancient Gods conversed.

Another round quickly came again. In the next round, Zhao Feng’s opponent jumped onto the stage with a complicated expression on his face.

“It’s Zhao Feng’s turn again!”

“His opponent is… Zhang Yutong.”

The chatter around the stage died away.

Everyone knew that, after Zhao Feng broke into the Heavenly Divine Realm, he had fought with Zhang Yutong, whereupon Zhang Yutong was soundly defeated. But Zhang Yutong was a Spiritual Race genius of the current generation who wielded a great deal of authority. Many of the people on the same level as him treated him with a great deal of apprehension.

The two participants exchanged no words and directly began to fight.

He hasn’t even been injured, nor has he used up much energy!

The moment they clashed, Zhang Yutong understood Zhao Feng’s situation. Afterward, Zhang Yutong gave up on attacking and focused on defending and dodging.

The Spiritual Race bloodline had extremely formidable defensive properties, and in a situation where his strength was suppressed and he couldn’t use his trump cards, Zhao Feng would find it very hard to overcome this defense.

After fighting for a while, Zhang Yutong suddenly drew back his energy.

“I’m no match for you and there are still more battles later on. I need to conserve my strength!” Zhang Yutong voluntarily conceded.

Zhao Feng was undefeated up to this point, and his opponents had either immediately conceded or conceded after exchanging a few blows with him.

And even though Zhang Yutong conceded, he had fought the longest with Zhao Feng. In this fashion, he was able to conserve some of his pride. Zhang Yutong had decided on this plan before even stepping onto the stage.

“Bao Yuan, Zhang Yutong, True God Long Yuan… none of them were a match for Zhao Feng. They couldn’t even wound him!”

“It seems like Zhao Feng will be first place on our stage!”

Quite a few Rank Six True God were depressed by this fact. They had all imagined that Zhao Feng would be wounded or tired out after fighting with these powerful Rank Six True Gods. Perhaps Zhao Feng would even lose one or two matches.

But Zhao Feng had remained utterly unharmed throughout.

“I concede!” In the next round, Zhao Feng’s opponent was rather weak and conceded without even stepping onto the stage.

“I might not even need to fight from now on!” Zhao Feng exclaimed.

“This kid is quite arrogant!” Some Rank Six True Gods were infuriated by Zhao Feng’s words.

However, the stronger Rank Six True Gods had already lost to Zhao Feng. No one else could be of any threat to Zhao Feng.

At this moment, the Rank Seven Ancient God matches came to an end.

“In the Rank Seven Ancient God contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, first place: Ancient God True Sea; second place: Ancient God Ice Origin…” an Elder announced the rankings.

The first place Ancient God True Sea was an Ancient God from several generations ago. He was rather old and had extremely deep reserves. He defeated Ancient God Ice Origin to obtain first place.

Ancient God Ice Origin wasn’t even over two hundred, but he had defeated all the other Rank Seven Ancient Gods except Ancient God True Sea. Though he was second, he gained far more glory than the person in first place. Everyone believed that Ancient God Ice Origin wouldn’t need very many years to leave first place in the dust.

With the Ancient God matches over, Zhao Feng began to seriously pay attention to the Rank Six Ancient God matches.

“First place is me while second place should be True God Long Yuan.”

Originally, there was no guarantee to how the match between Bao Yuan and True God Long Yuan would turn out. But Bao Yuan had been wounded in the first battle with Zhao Feng, and his worsened condition caused him to lose to True God Long Yuan.

After Bao Yuan fought with True God Long Yuan, he then fought with Zhang Yutong and was once more defeated. In short, Bao Yuan had bad luck on this day. The first battle with Zhao Feng had caused him to be in poor condition for the rest of the matches.

“He’s actually undefeated?” Ancient God Ice Origin looked at the Rank Six True God stage, his expression icy and gloomy.

Although he had fought on a different stage from Zhao Feng, he still lost a match. The fact that Zhao Feng was completely undefeated left Ancient God Ice Origin very uncomfortable.

This kid is very strong. I have to defeat him in a battle before he becomes an Ancient God! Jin Kun’s eyes flashed with sharp light as he made his plans.

Zhao Feng had defeated almost all the Rank Six True Gods of the Spiritual Race. If Jin Kun challenged Zhao Feng to a battle in this situation, his loss wouldn’t be that shameful.

“I concede!” On this round, Zhao Feng’s opponent, a gray-skinned youth, directly conceded.

“Hmph, conceding without a fight, what use are you!?” Ancient God Ice Origin coldly jeered from the crowd of Rank Seven Ancient Gods.

“My apologies.” The gray-skinned youth trembled as he lowered his head and vanished into the crowd.

The Rank Six True God matches were soon concluded.

“In the Rank Six True God contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water, first place: Zhao Feng; second place: True God Long Yuan; third place: Zhang Yutong…”

When the results were announced, they still created an uproar.

“As expected, Zhao Feng is the strongest of his rank!”

“Perhaps once Zhao Feng breaks into Rank Seven, he’ll be the strongest Rank Seven Ancient God of the Spiritual Race!”

The disciples of the Spiritual Race felt all manner of emotions about this.

The contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water continued. The Rank Five True God and Rank Four True God contests ended soon after.

“The contest for the Pure Spirit Sacred Water is over. I now have an important matter to announce!”

The Ancient God Elder suddenly spoke, his loud and bright voice echoing through the heavens. Everyone on the plaza turned solemn and respectful. The Elder had mentioned this before the start of the contest.

“Everyone knows that, two hundred years ago, a Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein was discovered on the border between the Spiritual Race and the Blazing Gold Race. For this vein, the Spiritual Race has had no small number of conflicts with the Blazing Gold Race, even a war…” the Spiritual Race Ancient God began to solemnly speak.

The Spiritual Race disciples slowly began to realize what was going on.

The Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods had many unique kinds of terrains and environments that could produce ore veins besides just God Crystal veins. This Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein had originally been a high-quality God Crystal vein, but because it had fused with powerful Fire Intent, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and Divine Power contained within this vein were far purer than that of a high-quality God Crystal vein.

Besides that, the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones produced by this vein were cultivation treasures to practitioners of the Flame Dao. They could both advance their cultivation and the level of their Intent.

This vein just so happened to be on the border of the two five-star factions. These factions were already enemies, and since this vein could decide the future of one side, the two factions had engaged in countless conflicts and battles over it.

“A while ago, the two races decided to determine the ownership of the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein according to a gambling match!”

After the Ancient God Elder said this, he swept his eyes over the young disciples below.

“A gambling match?” Ancient God Ice Origin’s eyes flashed.

“Both races will send ten young disciples to duel against each other. The final result will be used to determine who owns the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein. Thus, I will select ten of you to participate in this gambling match. When the time comes, for each opponent you defeat, you will be granted twenty thousand contribution points. Besides this, if we obtain the Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit vein, the participants will gain an extra reward of Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones,” the Ancient God Elder explained.

“Twenty thousand contribution points! Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones!”

The countless disciples immediately began to chatter among themselves, their eyes bursting with golden light.

Twenty thousand contribution points was an astronomical number to Rank Four True Gods, nigh unachievable. Even the Rank Seven Ancient Gods found it hard to resist the allure of twenty thousand contribution points.

“If I defeat two, I’ll get forty thousand, sixty thousand if I defeat three. And there’s even Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones….” Ancient God Ice Origin showed a rare look of excitement on his face.

“Contribution points!” Zhao Feng’s eyes also shone with interest.

At present, his Five Elemental Wind Lightning Technique and Golden Kun Sacred Lightning Body had been both cultivated to the peak. He urgently needed an Ancient God level technique, perhaps even a technique that he could cultivate until the God Lord level. Otherwise, his cultivation would be halted at Rank Seven Ancient God.

If he wanted to obtain a technique from the Spiritual Race, the most direct method was exchanging for one using contribution points.

And besides the contribution points, there was also the reward of Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stones. Each Heaven Crystal Fire Spirit Stone was essentially equivalent to a high-quality God Crystal, and it was also extremely valuable to Flame Dao cultivators.
