1046: Chapter 1039: Strength Enhancement 1046: Chapter 1039: Strength Enhancement “Was that Chenfeng’s shout just now?
Could it be that Chenfeng and Xin Yi…” Cheng Dahhu, entwined with thin blood-red tendrils outside the city gate, said weakly.
Shen Mingxuan nodded somberly in response, “That was indeed Chenfeng’s voice just now.
I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave the Land of Death alive this time.”
“These damned tendrils, how can there be such strange plants in the Land of Death?” Xiao Liyuan, not willing to give up, tried to raise his Soul Force within his body once again, but this act was in vain.
However, at that moment, the tendrils entwining Shen Mingxuan and the others began to wither inexplicably, and soon they could no longer feel the blood draining from their bodies.
These tiny blood-red tendrils originated from the towering blood-red tree within the city gates, and now that the entire tree had been destroyed by Ye Chenfeng, the tendrils naturally had no reason to live on.
As the blood-red tendrils withering off Shen Mingxuan and the others, Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang from the Heavenly Alliance, who were also bound by the tendrils, saw them all wither away as well.
However, since the thorns on the tendrils carried a paralyzing poison, neither Shen Mingxuan and his group nor Kong Fei and his group could regain their ability to move for the time being.
“Ha ha ha, the heavens have not forsaken me, truly the heavens have not forsaken us!” After being stunned for a moment, Kong Fei burst out laughing from his throat, continuing to address Shen Mingxuan and the others, “Although I don’t know why these tendrils suddenly withered, I know that Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi couldn’t possibly be alive.
And since our strength is greater than yours, it’s certain that we will recover our bodies first.
When that happens, that will be the end for the three of you.
I’ll send you to reunite with Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi.”
…
Inside the city gate.
Eyes a bloody red, his hair and arms both tinted the color of blood, Ye Chenfeng had become like a beast that had lost control.
The broken bones in both arms and the various open wounds across his body were healing at a visibly rapid pace, all of which seemed to originate from the newly mutated red gas.
Ye Chenfeng, in his uncontrolled state, looked at Lin Xinyi, who was unconscious, with a bloodthirsty smile forming at his lips as he slowly stepped toward her.
The closer he got to Xin Yi, the more intense the red glow in his eyes became, and he mumbled ambiguously, “Kill, kill, kill—”
Just as Ye Chenfeng was about to crouch down, a red light emanated from the completely collapsed towering tree, which seemed to be incredibly attractive to the unthinking Ye Chenfeng, causing him to temporarily abandon Lin Xinyi and stagger step by step toward the source of the red light.
Underneath the fallen blood-red towering tree, a deep pit appeared, and in this pit grew a mass of heart-like red fruits.
If Ye Chenfeng had been in his right mind, he would have recognized these as the Heart of the Desert at a glance.
The red glow emanating from the Heart of the Desert completely enveloped Ye Chenfeng, and the glow did not carry an aura of slaughter but had a purifying effect on the heart instead.
This caused Ye Chenfeng, who had lost control, to have a struggling expression on his face; the blood-red in his pupils flickered on and off, on and off, constantly changing.
Approximately ten minutes later.
The blood-red color on Ye Chenfeng’s arms began to fade, followed by the red in his hair returning to black, and finally, his eyes returned to their original color.
The red gas that had mutated inside his body started to converge toward his Dantian until at last all of the red gas gathered within the Dantian, settling there steadily.
After all the red gas had retracted back into his Dantian, Ye Chenfeng regained his clear consciousness immediately.
At first, his eyes still held a look of confusion, but his mind was crystal clear about what had just happened.
He carefully checked the red gas coiled in his Dantian and muttered to himself, “It seems this mass of gas has mutated again.
Thankfully, it was here; otherwise, I might have really lost my life this time.”
Ye Chenfeng glanced at Lin Xinyi lying nearby and, feeling relieved that she wasn’t in any immediate danger, his gaze then focused on the Heart of the Desert in the deep pit.
Looking at the red-glowing Heart of the Desert in front of him, Ye Chenfeng suddenly felt his trip was worthwhile.
Without any hesitation, he picked one Heart after another and cautiously placed them inside his Space Ring.
There were a total of thirty-two Hearts of the Desert in the pit.
Since the Heart of the Desert only worked when taken for the first time, these thirty-two hearts could help thirty-two martial artists below the Saint Level instantly enhance their Soul Force by a small tier.
Holding a Heart of the Desert that he hadn’t put into the Space Ring, Ye Chenfeng swallowed it bit by bit.
He planned to make a direct breakthrough here and ascend a minor tier.
After swallowing the Heart of the Desert, Ye Chenfeng felt his body slowly heating up, as if a flow of air was surging through all the meridians in his body.
Immediately, he raised his Soul Force, which was at the middle stage of the Venerable Level, trying to digest the energy from the Heart of the Desert in one go.
As he kept absorbing the energy from the Heart of the Desert, the Soul Force inside Ye Chenfeng’s body increased continuously, attempting to break through the barrier of the middle stage and truly enter the peak of the Venerable Level.
Lin Xinyi, who was still unconscious nearby, slowly opened her eyes during this time.
She looked at the blood-red towering tree now reduced to fragments, the ground covered with withered vines, and finally set her eyes on Ye Chenfeng.
She sensed the climbing Soul Force around him, disbelief coloring her pale face as she thought, “Could it be that Ye Chenfeng destroyed these strange vines and the towering tree?
How is that possible?
These bizarre plants are insurmountable even for Heavenly Alliance’s Kong Fei and other mid-stage Venerable masters.
How did Ye Chenfeng suddenly acquire such power?
And he’s making a breakthrough now?
What kind of freak is he?”
Focused on absorbing the energy from the Heart of the Desert, Ye Chenfeng, of course, was unaware of Lin Xinyi’s thoughts.
Over and over, he digested the energy from the heart and struck against the barrier of the middle stage.
The Soul Force inside his body had reached a certain tipping point, and with just one more push, he could break through smoothly to the peak of the Venerable Level.
About five minutes later.
The energy surrounding Ye Chenfeng’s body became incredibly dense.
Tiny whirlwinds lingered around him.
Suddenly, his body shook violently, and his Soul Force surged to a higher tier, the tremendous force spilling out from his body.
He had successfully broken through from the middle stage to the peak of the Venerable Level.
Now, if Ye Chenfeng were to encounter Kong Fei and the like, he absolutely wouldn’t need to flee in such an embarrassing manner.
He certainly possessed the power to kill mid-stage Venerable masters instantly.
Opening his eyes slowly, Ye Chenfeng felt the abundant Soul Force within him and a satisfied smile spread across his face.
Suddenly, he saw Lin Xinyi staring at him fiercely with her beautiful eyes, which prompted him to shrug his shoulders nonchalantly.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng not initiating a conversation, Lin Xinyi asked with furrowed brows, unable to move her body, “Ye Chenfeng, was it you who destroyed these bizarre plants?
How did you do that?
And have you broken through to the peak of the Venerable Level?”
“Cut the chatter, we’ll talk more after we head outside the city gate.” Ye Chenfeng had been so excited by acquiring the Heart of the Desert that he had momentarily forgotten about Shen Mingxuan and the others.
Fortunately, he knew that since the blood-red towering tree was destroyed, Shen Mingxuan and the rest shouldn’t be in immediate danger.
And since Kong Fei and other Heavenly Alliance members were also paralyzed, they wouldn’t be able to harm Shen Mingxuan and the others for a while.
Now, Ye Chenfeng didn’t need to worry about Kong Fei, Bao Yuqiang, and Bao Yutao.
As the saying goes, “The bolder the artist, the greater their courage.” After just having enhanced his strength, Ye Chenfeng found himself in need of a few sparring partners, and Kong Fei and his colleagues were the best candidates.
