Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 429: Chapter 314: Lin Feng’s Amazement (Part 2)

”Golden Soul ’Earth Core Pillar’!”

Looking at the densely packed stone pillars all around, Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with awe, even though he felt a bit of concern.

What a grand display!

This kind of large-scale soul skill effect was appearing for the first time in the rematch.

Even he couldn’t help but be amazed.

The five of them had refined demon spirits that couldn’t fly, and their martial arts realm hadn’t reached the Flying Realm, making it impossible to gather spiritual power wings. Faced with this stone pillar array, it felt somewhat like being blinded.

The fifth level of ”Fish Dragon Transformation” could produce a pair of dragon wings, but in order to hide his strength, Lin Feng couldn’t display them.

This vast sea of stone pillars not only dispersed them but also completely restrained his Bubble attack, rendering it ineffective.

At this moment, Lin Feng dared not release a Bubble attack at all.

Once attacked, the stone pillars would break, and massive stones weighing tens of thousands of pounds and standing thirty to forty meters tall would fall. Their soul skills couldn’t withstand this, and it would trigger a chain reaction they couldn’t avoid.

According to the information provided by Coach Zhou before the match, no one in the Demon Star Team had absorbed ’Earth Core Pillar’. It was clear that this was either deliberately hidden or absorbed temporarily.

From Lin Feng’s perspective, the second possibility seemed more likely.

To defeat them, one main member and two substitutes of the Demon Star Team specifically chose to absorb the same soul skill.

This was a soul skill and strategy prepared specifically for them.

One must say, the Demon Star Team was truly ruthless.

Although this soul skill was a golden soul skill, it actually didn’t have much offensive power and primarily served the purpose of entrapment and support.

For the sake of winning, these three team members sacrificed themselves, and one of them was Huang Zhongtian, who had refined the Earth Chart demon spirit.

However, it was understandable; the rewards between the runner-up and second runner-up differed by a level, and if it was the champion, it couldn’t even be described as a single level difference.

Many geniuses never acquire a diamond soul skill in their lifetime.

A diamond soul skill isn’t something just anyone can afford, nor does everyone have the talent to absorb it.

What’s more, the ability to choose a target for the soul skill makes it even more precious.

Even a purple gold soul skill is extremely valuable.

This might be the highest level soul skill these three could absorb in their lifetime.

”The Demon Star Team is obviously trying to scatter them and eliminate them one by one. Yun Kai doesn’t need to be too worried; we must quickly find Little Sister Dong and Yue Mingming. If they’re alone, they don’t have much resistance.”

Lin Feng ran for a while but still couldn’t find his teammates or see the five people from the Demon Star Team. However, he began encountering various dense spider webs.

Semi-transparent, thread-like spider silk crisscrossed between the stone pillars, blocking their path.

Lin Feng flipped his palm, revealing a dagger.

Sparks flew, accompanied by the sound of metal cutting, but the spider silk merely quivered and remained intact.

This spider silk was tougher than steel wire and even adhesive, impossible to break by hand, and even a dagger was useless.

Yu Qiao arrived at Lin Feng’s side, waved his right hand, and a crimson red dagger appeared in his right hand as if out of thin air. He slashed at the spider silk, cutting it directly. After a few more swings, the spider silk in front disappeared entirely.

Lin Feng moved, constantly changing directions, but he seemed like a headless fly.

Seeing Lin Feng zigzagging, Yu Qiao asked quizzically from behind, ”Where are you going? I can’t sense them.”

Yu Qiao’s golden soul skill ’Peeping Eye’ had the effect of seeing through fog and illusions, offering a further view than Lin Feng. If even he couldn’t find them, what could Lin Feng find by running blindly?

And the ’sensing’ Lin Feng mentioned was clearly the effect of the Peace Contract, also known as the ’Heart Contract’.

However, this sensing distance was only fifty meters, which meant that the distance between them and Yun Kai’s group exceeded fifty meters.

”Don’t run too fast; you’ve not activated ’Fish Dragon Transformation’, the mist is getting thicker, and you can’t see clearly. Don’t get cut by the spider silk!”

Yu Qiao quickly reminded loudly.

Lin Feng didn’t respond.

As the absorber of the ’Heart Contract’ soul skill, his sensing distance was twice that of Yu Qiao’s, about a hundred meters. But he still couldn’t sense the others.

The only person he could clearly sense was Yue Mingming’s position.

This wasn’t a sense given by the ’Heart Contract’, but a power granted by Nightmare assimilation.

However, Yue Mingming seemed to be constantly changing positions, as if being chased?

Even though he knew Yue Mingming’s location, Lin Feng didn’t head straight in that direction. Instead, he detoured several times, because even Yu Qiao, who had ’Peeping Eye’, couldn’t find him; how could Lin Feng?

The soul skills he absorbed did not include any detection skills!

”They’re everywhere, my hand hurts from cutting them!”

Along the way, Yu Qiao occasionally slashed at the spider silk, but it grew increasingly numerous and dense. At this time, his emerald green eyes exuded a hint of coldness:

”Huang Tianze, that kid was pretending to be weak earlier, and now he’s so fierce! He intends to turn the entire competition field into his spider web, and we are all prey in his lair!”

”Quickly find someone, whether it’s an opponent or a teammate.”

Seeing the spider silk everywhere, Lin Feng’s expression turned a bit grim.

These spider silks connected to the sides of the stone pillars seemed chaotic but were actually placed systematically.

And the ’Earth Core Pillar’ soul skill could control the rotation of the stone pillars. If Huang Tianze were ready and the pillars spun rapidly, they’d have no escape when faced with the siege of thousands of dense spider silks.

The Red Cloud Team, apart from Yun Kai, even with Lin Feng’s defensive strength, couldn’t withstand such rapid cutting and would be shredded into pieces.

This soul skill was not only designed to counter them but also specifically to assist Huang Tianze.

For those trapped in this web, without the ability to fly, no matter how many, there’s only one path — the path of death.

And this is what makes Huang Tianze truly terrifying.

In a one-on-one, against Zhan Tianyu, Yun Kai, or Ye Qiu, Huang Tianze might not be a direct match, but if he wants to escape, no one can hold him down.

If he has good teammates supporting him, his destructive power rises to a terrifying level, far surpassing others.

In the Jade Seal Space Gate, Huang Tianze instilled fear in many alien races.

It wasn’t just Lin Feng who noticed this; the audience did as well.

With the cameras capturing everything, the audience had a god’s eye view, making it even more astounding.

At this point, half of the competition field was already covered in spider silk.

From the Red Cloud Team, apart from Lin Feng and Yu Qiao who remained together, the other three were separated.

On the screen, Huang Tianze’s originally short, cropped hair had grown long, his jet-black eyes had turned gray, his head and chest encompassed by a black carapace, with spider web-like patterns etched on his body.

He extended his hand, continuously spraying spider silk. The semi-transparent threads were so fine that the naked eye found it difficult to see clearly, but when shot from his hand, they carried unimaginable speed and penetrative power. He traversed swiftly between the stone pillars, ghostlike, without a sound, leaving only webs connecting the pillars in his wake.

While weaving the web, he got closer to a solitary figure. That was Little Sister Dong, huddled and cautiously hiding behind a stone pillar, with less than a hundred meters between them.

”Haha, lost track of them. Little Sister Dong is too scared to move at all. Even hiding so carefully behind a pillar, she was still discovered. What bad luck, run, Dong Yunan!”

”Little Sister Dong is done for, she’s already a meal on a platter.”

”Poor kid.”

Amidst the tense discussions of the audience, the distance between them had closed to fifty meters, one on the ground and the other now bent over, clinging to a ten-meter-high stone pillar. Almost simultaneously, they sensed each other. One looked up, and the other looked down, meeting each other’s gaze.

On screen, Little Sister Dong froze slightly, her body shivered, and with a ”yelp,” an adorable chubby face flashed a hint of alarm. Without any hesitation, she turned and ran.

Seeing Little Sister Dong, Huang Tianze’s handsome face revealed a slight smile, with a touch of malice. He slightly extended his hand, and a strand of spider silk shot towards Little Sister Dong.
