Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 729: Chapter 749: Absorbing the Netherworld Purple Orchid

The two without Ghost Qi were naturally not the Ghost Race contestants in this competition. Chu Linfeng and Kong Feifei were suddenly regarded as monsters by this group of people. One of the Ghost Race members said, ”These monsters that can morph into human form are surely not simple. This young man is handsome, and the woman is enticing; everyone should be on guard. If you can’t defeat them, quickly leave.”

This group of the Ghost Race people had about thirty members, with two having reached the Fifth Layer of Saint Martial Realm. But such strength was really too weak in front of Chu Linfeng and Kong Feifei. Either of them could easily kill them, let alone both being present.

Chu Linfeng laughed and said, ”Leave your Wooden Tokens and go; otherwise, you will all die here. Today, I’m in a good mood, so I’m letting you go.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Feifei was instantly angry, ”You little thief, are you an idiot? They already see us as monsters, yet you ask for Wooden Tokens. Isn’t that just like admitting that we pretended to be Ghost Race members to enter? Letting them go would expose our identity, and what use is there in having more Wooden Tokens?”

Chu Linfeng felt embarrassed at once; he had indeed forgotten this. Luckily, when he let those people go earlier, his body was covered with Ghost Qi. So, he awkwardly chuckled, ”I deliberately said that. If we want to get the Wooden Tokens, we must kill these people. I just wanted to see your reaction, and indeed, you are clever and meticulous, a woman I like!”

”You! You’re just a rascal!” Kong Feifei was at a loss for words, then her figure flashed, producing her black long sword. After swiftly sweeping several slashes, a few Ghost Race members were directly killed.

In front of strong individuals at the Ninth Layer of Saint Martial Realm, these people had no power to fight back. Chu Linfeng quietly stood aside and watched Kong Feifei slaughter these people. He knew that the outcome of this competition was really uncertain. Both of their abilities could easily kill the competition participants; it all depended on whose luck was better to encounter more people to defeat.

Within a few breaths, Kong Feifei had slain more than ten members of the Ghost Race. She glanced at Chu Linfeng with anger and said, ”You little thief, why are you just standing there without helping? Or are you pretending to lose to me on purpose?”

”I think you look quite good while killing, so I wanted to watch a bit more. Since the beauty has spoken, I’ll reluctantly help you!” Chu Linfeng laughed, then his figure flashed as he joined the battle.

At this moment, the Ghost Race members realized the horror of these two. They all fled quickly, scattering in different directions. Unfortunately, they were unable to fly, and their escape speed was not fast at all. It didn’t take long for Chu Linfeng and Kong Feifei to catch up and kill them all.

In this slaughter, Chu Linfeng obtained thirteen Wooden Tokens. Kong Feifei was lucky; she killed the Ghost Race member who had spoken earlier, and that member had over twenty Wooden Tokens on his person. Adding up all the tokens from the Ghost Race, she obtained more than forty pieces, leaving Chu Linfeng quite envious.

The killing of the Ghost Race had been fierce, yet when it was time to part, there was a sense of reluctance, especially for Kong Feifei. This young girl who had just discovered love didn’t even realize she had already fallen for the little thief she mentioned.

Seeing the expression on her face, Chu Linfeng naturally understood her feelings. However, to quickly improve his strength, he had to endure the pain of separation, ”Feifei, don’t forget our wager. There are many powerful creatures in this Land of the Dead too, be careful not to be reckless like last time!”

After speaking, Chu Linfeng’s figure flashed, instantly teleporting away, quickly vanishing from Kong Feifei’s sight. He dared not linger too much, fearing he would achieve nothing if he softened.

Watching the direction where Chu Linfeng disappeared, Kong Feifei choked up, ”You idiot, why don’t you understand my feelings? Encountering you, I wonder if it’s fortune or misfortune!”

After standing for a few breaths, Kong Feifei quickly flew in the opposite direction of Chu Linfeng, ”Little thief, I must defeat you, so you acknowledge my power!” Kong Feifei declared firmly as she flew.

Chu Linfeng, on the other hand, continued to teleport in succession. He needed to find a hidden place to break through his realm and eventually came to a spot beneath a cliff, where a huge rock protruded above a flat stone below, quite expansive, and surrounded by steep cliffs difficult to climb. Even if they encountered Ghost Race members, they wouldn’t be disturbed.

Chu Linfeng decided to breakthrough here, so he directly went under the stone, ”Sister Yue’Er, come out, I need your help!” he said at this time.

”I wanted to come out anyway. Now that you’re breaking through to the Saint Martial Realm, my strength will increase with it. Do you want me to be your Protector?” the Sword Spirit said.

A white glow flashed on Chu Linfeng’s forehead, and a Silver Sword flew out, quickly transforming into a stunningly beautiful girl, dressed in snow-white attire that made her appear like a fairy.

It wasn’t the first time Chu Linfeng had seen the Sword Spirit’s true form, yet he was still dazed for a moment before he said, ”Actually, I just wanted to see you. It’s been a long time since I last saw you, and I’ve missed you.”

”Smooth talker, don’t I understand what you’re thinking? Rest assured, I’ll be here until you break through to the Saint Martial Realm. The environment here is nice; I believe it won’t take you long to succeed. Remember, no matter the pain, you must endure it, for you’re different from others, and naturally, the pain you endure is also unique,” the Sword Spirit advised.

”I know. No amount of pain can surpass the pain of breaking through the Sixth Layer of the Star Body. For you, I can do it, believe me!” Chu Linfeng smiled, giving the Sword Spirit a confident look.

Subsequently, Chu Linfeng took out the Netherworld Purple Orchid from the Storage Ring. He didn’t immediately absorb its Energy to breakthrough but quietly observed it, using his Divine Sense to perceive it.

After sitting like this for almost a day, he finally acted, slowly mobilizing the Chaotic Dragon Power within his body, then began to infuse it into the Netherworld Purple Orchid, causing the Chaotic Dragon Power and the Orchid’s Energy to merge and resonate.

Only this way could he absorb the Energy within. Though this process seemed simple, it was actually very troublesome. Many people failed to achieve this, wasting the Netherworld Purple Orchid. Others absorbed the Energy without fully merging and resonating, leading to unbearable pain or even body explosion and death.

Chu Linfeng was the most tense at this moment. He knew his Chaotic Dragon Power had resonated with the Energy inside the Netherworld Purple Orchid. Now it was the time to absorb it, hoping the kind of pain the Sword Spirit mentioned wouldn’t occur.

Subsequently, with a thought, he placed both hands on the Netherworld Purple Orchid, starting to slowly absorb the Energy within it. Immediately, a stream of air carrying a fierce warmth advanced along his meridians towards his Dantian... (to be continued in the evening)
