Chapter 29: The Lich King Descends

Crash…

After a fierce bolt of lightning, the Killing Formation on the top of the crystal tower vanished into thin air. With a ‘whoosh’, Hu Feng appeared in front of the Holy Bead almost instantly. Before his hands could even press onto it, thick, un-dissolvable energy seeped into every pore of his body, bringing with it majestic vitality, Magic Power, and soul energy. The Magic Power and soul energy within his body, which were already nearly impossible to suppress, became completely out of control, rising steadily.

“I said it’s mine, so it’s mine!”

Sensing the almost boundless energy contained within the Holy Bead, Hu Feng let out an excited long roar and pressed both hands onto it. With a ‘whoosh’, huge Dark Wings unfurled, and a massive Demon God Phantom appeared behind him, directly unleashing the Great Devour Technique to absorb the energy within the Holy Bead to his heart’s content. With a ‘boom’, he broke through the final bottleneck in one fell swoop, becoming a true Magician. Further merging with the Soul Imprint of the Lich King Ovisis, many memory fragments flashed through his mind, and he gained some inexplicable insights; many confusions regarding Cultivation were instantly cleared up.

Boom…

As a large amount of energy flooded in, Hu Feng’s body shook violently. The surging Magic Power and soul power within his body collided, and the intense energy collision created an Alternate Dimension inside his body. The Dark Magic Pen, Dark Ring, and Ghost King Cloak instantly all disappeared, merging into the Alternate Dimension within his body, giving him a feeling of becoming one with them.

At this moment, he had truly refined these treasures. With a thought, the pitch-black, wide Vampire Cloak appeared on his head again. Compared to before, it had many obscure and profound Runes, instantly bursting forth with a majestic Death Aura, which then quickly disappeared, making it look no different from an ordinary cloak.

From the Peak of Tier 9 as a Magic Apprentice to becoming a true Magician, there was only a hair’s breadth of difference, but that small gap meant combat power and realm were completely incomparable. Hu Feng, having broken through the bottleneck in one go, felt that every inch of his meridians was fused with a sea of energy, and every muscle contained violent power. At this moment, it was as if he was the sky, was the earth, existing alongside heaven and earth, with a lifespan equal to the sun and moon, and the inexhaustible spiritual energy of heaven and earth was his to control.

Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3…

Hu Feng, having devoured a massive amount of energy, unleashed his accumulated potential. After breaking through to the Magician realm, he did not stop but continued to break through upwards. The huge accumulation he had while staying at the Peak of Tier 9 as a Magic Apprentice completely erupted!

Ah…

The energy flooding in like a tide made Hu Feng involuntarily let out a low roar.

He threw his head back, and the Dark Wings on his back suddenly extended, growing with the wind. The wingspan rapidly skyrocketed from less than five meters to over ten meters. A vast Death Aura spread out wave after wave, far and wide—cold, evil, suffocating, deathly… accompanied by boundless fear and pressure. With a ‘whoosh’, Skeletons and Zombies broke out of the ground one after another. Even some of the guards and Wandering Hunters who had just fallen stood up, swaying as they joined the battlefield. They killed anyone they saw, instantly causing even greater chaos.

The Lich King’s Descent!

Hu Feng, with his strength skyrocketing, seemed like an evil and violent Demon God descending upon the vast Wasteland. His whole body was shrouded in thick Dark Mist, eroding and devouring all surrounding energy; even the crystals paving the floor emitted wisps of green smoke. Looking from afar, one could only vaguely see a wide cloak and huge wings!

Not good!

Looking up at the Demon God-like Hu Feng, the Saintess Phantom’s expression changed drastically. She struck the Bloodthirsty and crazy Black Eagle Captain away with a palm and coldly pounced towards Hu Feng, carrying the blazing Angel Flame. In an instant, the entire sky seemed to burn up, and the scorching temperature seemed about to melt the entire Crystal High Tower.

The dim-looking Saintess attacked with full force, attempting to kill Hu Feng, this suddenly appearing dark Demon God, in one move!

Whoosh…

The Saintess attacking with full power had a massive momentum, almost instantly reaching Hu Feng. But just at the moment she was about to burn him to ashes, Hu Feng, radiating boundless Death Aura and pressure, suddenly disappeared. There was no energy fluctuation, not a trace of breath, and no clue left behind, as if he had vanished into thin air like a mass of empty air. Even if one were to immediately use the Great Prophecy Technique to search a radius of a hundred miles, not a single trace would be found.

Great Teleportation Technique!

In just a split second, Hu Feng teleported to a high mountain a thousand miles away. After breaking through to Magician Tier 3, he had truly stepped onto the great path of Cultivation. Relying on the Cultivation insights and memories left by Ovisis, he successfully cultivated the Innate Divine Ability of teleportation plundered from the Vampire Warrior into the Great Teleportation Technique in one go.

Compared to the teleportation on the battlefield, the distance the Great Teleportation Technique could cover was many times greater. As long as there was enough Magic Power, one could soar freely over the vast Wasteland, with the sky high and the sea wide. From then on, every time he teleported back to the distant Lich Castle, he would no longer need to consume a large amount of Crystals.

“A Demon Lord from the Abyssal Plane, or…”

The Saintess, having missed her attack, frowned slightly. A ball of cold Death Aura condensed at her fingertip. Just as she was preparing to use the Great Divination Technique to detect Hu Feng’s origin, a black shadow suddenly popped out from behind her. The Black Eagle Captain, who had lost his reason after swallowing the Crystal Core, followed like a lingering spirit. His eyes were red and his body was covered in blood, looking like a wounded, bloodthirsty beast.

“You are courting death!”

The interrupted Saintess harbored real killing intent. Ignoring the Black Eagle Captain’s sharp giant claws, she instantly condensed the scorching Angel Flame and directly struck it into his body. The two clashed head-on once again. The berserk Black Eagle Captain let out a miserable scream. First his arms and lower legs, then his body… turned to ashes in the blazing flames, leaving only a large head wailing in the fire.

The Black Eagle Captain, with the strength of a Grand Swordsman, suffered a fatal heavy injury. At the same time, the powerful Saintess was not having an easy time either. Her face was pale, as if she had exhausted her Magic Power. Her already dim phantom became even blurrier. The majestic crown, the tranquil and holy face, and even the spotless long robe became increasingly fuzzy, as if they might dissipate into the air at any moment.

Although she was powerful, this was, after all, just a projection formed by a thought, possessing not even one ten-thousandth of her main body’s strength. Under the Black Eagle Captain’s fierce and vicious attacks, she had also reached the point of exhaustion.

“Splendid, but it’s a pity. You are all destined to die here. Refine for me, all of you!”

Just as the Black Eagle Captain and the Saintess were both injured, Hu Feng used the Great Teleportation Technique again and instantly appeared. The cold Death Aura turned into two giant palms, grabbing the heads of the injured Saintess and the Black Eagle Captain respectively.

After a low roar, a massive Demon God Phantom appeared behind him. Compared to before, the invisible pressure had increased several times. In the facial features that were originally invisible, a pair of huge eyes could now be faintly seen, cold and ruthless, looking down coldly at the vast Wasteland. Wherever the cold eyes passed, even Elder Akashic, who had the strength of a Great Magician, felt a chill from the depths of his Soul, as if the blood in his whole body was about to freeze.

Hu Feng, launching a sudden attack, was actually forcibly refining the powerful Black Eagle Captain and the Saintess at the same time!

This move was extremely dangerous, but as long as he devoured the power of both and plundered their Cultivation insights and abilities, he would undoubtedly gain immense benefits. Especially the Saintess, whose main body had reached the Demi-god Realm; devouring a strand of her thought would bring unimaginable benefits!
