In mid-air.
After a head on clash between Lin Feng and the old man, both retreated a hundred meters away from each other.
Borrowing the strength of their retreating footsteps, the two of them released the force that their bodies had endured into the air. Although the explosion caused the air to churn, the two of them did not suffer any impact from the force.
"Very good!"
"I didn't expect to meet a young man who knows how to conceal his aura!"
Stabilizing his body, the old man who had just arrived was full of interest as he squinted his eyes.
He only thought that dealing with a young man from peak of Jindan would be as easy as crushing an ant to death. He hadn't thought that his opponent would be able to tie with him in two consecutive exchanges.
Although he did not use his full strength in the first two exchanges, it was still enough to shock him.
These two simple exchanges were enough for the old man to assess Lin Feng's strength. It looked like he was only in the peak of Jindan realm, but the strength he possessed had already reached the Nascent Soul Small Success realm.
"Ha!"
Lin Feng sneered, and did not say much.
It was only because he cultivated the Five Elements Immortal Body and Art of Creation that he possessed the strength comparable to experts at the Quintessential Void Nascent Soul Small Success realm. The true cultivation realm, was actually still just peak of Jindan.
"Unfortunately, even if you have the strength of the Nascent Soul Small Success, this old man has already reached the pinnacle of the initial stage, and is infinitely close to mastery."
The old man was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Feng's attitude.
Within the ice-cold voice was a monstrous killing intent that flashed in his eyes.
"Young man, this old man will give you another chance. Leave now. This old man will not make things difficult for you."
A moment later, the elder suppressed the impulse in his heart as he patiently said this.
Although he was confident that he could kill Lin Feng, once the war broke out, even more experts would be attracted to that event.
"If you want the Kitigarbha fruit, you have to get through me first."
Lin Feng laughed in disdain.
"If that's the case, then die!"
The old man roared angrily as he attacked again.
This time, not only did he use up all of his strength, he even used a powerful battle skill. His first move was the most fatal one.
The only thought in his mind was to end the battle quickly and quickly take away the maturing Kitigarbha Fruit.
"Come at me!"
Lin Feng's battle intent was bright, his powerful strength instantly burst forth, welcoming the incoming attack.
"Boom!"
The old man used a powerful battle skill, unleashing immortal elemental energy, which was far more powerful than before he used a battle skill.
With the support of his battle technique, the immortal elemental energy was like a flood that had been created after the collapse of a river or lake, flowing straight down.
Wherever it went, everything was drowned. Even the deathly aura that had already reached the level of dew was unable to endure this kind of immortal elemental energy that was sweeping down like a torrent.
"Eight Desolations Godly Fist."
"Power of the tiger's roar!"
Lin Feng made his move once again, and also released a strong battle skill.
The first fist of the Eight Desolations Godly Fist burst forth with the power of a tiger's roar. On his tightly clenched fist, a multicolored light burst out from his fist, and immediately transformed into a colourful tiger.
Accompanied by the tiger's roar, the sound of wind breaking opened its mouth wide, and with the support of his battle skill, it charged towards the incoming berserk immortal elemental energy torrent, devouring it. It was as if this enormous tiger formed from multicolored light was a roc that could devour Heaven and Earth, something that could swallow anything in its way.
"Roar!"
As the five-colored giant tiger surged forward, a roar that shook the heavens came from it.
In the air, under the pouncing jaws of the Pentium Giant Tiger, the immortal elemental energy that looked like a surging torrent was directly devoured by the Multicolored Giant Tiger.
"Kacha, kacha …"
Amidst the sounds of shattering, the surging immortal elemental energy exploded into pieces.
The multicolored tiger's body trembled violently, but it did not shatter from the impact of the immortal elemental energy's explosion. Instead, after a short period of shock, it charged towards the old man and swallowed him.
"What!"
The old man's expression changed greatly as he dodged to the side as fast as he could.
He used a strong battle skill, just to finish the battle quickly. However, Lin Feng never expected that at this time, he would actually use an even stronger battle skill. So much so, that in the first exchange of attacks between the two, where their battle skills had been enhanced, Lin Feng actually had the absolute advantage.
"Boom!"
Just as the old man dodged, the place where he was originally standing was completely submerged by the colourful tiger.
At the same time that a huge crater was opened up in the ground, the enormous, multicolored tiger also exploded.
The violent impact of the force instantly wreaked havoc, causing the old man, who had just escaped, to become disheveled and in a sorry state as the force wreaked havoc.
"The power of a dragon and elephant."
Lin Feng attacked once again.
With the power of the second Dragon Elephant Punch from the Eight Desolations Godly Fist, the old man's appearance became even more miserable. His clothes had become tattered beyond recognition, as if they had been torn into countless pieces.
After the third punch, the momentum of the mountain was unleashed.
The old man's body was finally unable to completely dodge the impact of the fist force. The spot where his shoulder was swept by, directly exploded, and the crisp sound of bones breaking was heard.
The fourth fist strike shook through the eight wastelands.
The area where the old man's chest had been hit had deeply caved in, as if his entire chest was only left with two thin layers of skin.
The fifth and sixth punches …
The seventh, the eighth …
Just like this, Lin Feng used his Eight Desolations Godly Fist to clash head on with the old man again and again.
The entire battle skill, the eight punching moves, had all been executed. The old man no longer had that domineering and arrogant look on his face from before. Not only that, his body had also exploded under the continuous barrage of blows, leaving behind shocking wounds.
The sunken chest, the blasted bones, and the flesh and blood that had become bloody after being pierced …
In short, his entire appearance was miserable and bedraggled.
Even his breathing became extremely weak. Following that, his entire body became weak.
"It really is a battle between Nascent Soul stage cultivators."
"To be able to emit such violent fluctuations in aura, the strength of the two of them would probably have already reached the limits of their Nascent Soul Small Success. Just a little more and they would have reached large success."
"Although there is still quite a bit of a difference between our realm and that of a true top-notch expert. But among us, the top ten sects and the Twelve Kingdoms s, we can be considered as true experts. "
Lin Feng's fight with the elderly man had long been alerted, there were treasure hunters within a hundred miles radius.
When these people arrived at the scene one by one, they stopped at a safe distance.
Most of their realms stopped at either the peak of peak of Jindan or the realm of perfection. Occasionally, a few of them had Yuanying Stage, but they were only at the early Nascent Soul or initial level. If they got too close to the center of the battle, they would inevitably be hit by the raging energy. His body was injured, and he even suffered heavy injuries.
Moments later, everyone's attention shifted from the battle between the two of them to other nearby areas.
Although the Kitigarbha Fruit was protected by the Innate Rune, the battle between Lin Feng and the old man was still going on. This made everyone who had come to watch the battle quickly notice the existence of the Kitigarbha fruit.
"It's actually a Kitigarbha fruit that can raise one's cultivation!"
"Although there are a lot of immortal treasure s that can raise their cultivation, the effects of the Earth Concealing Fruits are not something that many can achieve."
"No wonder the two of them fought!"
In just a short moment, everyone's attention was completely focused on the Earth Concealing Fruits.
As one of the immortal treasure s that could raise their cultivation, they were all very clear about the powerful effects of the Earth Concealing Fruit.
Moreover, just in the past few days, there had just been someone who, due to a fluke of luck, had accidentally eaten the Earth Concealing Fruit. Afterwards, their strength had soared all the way, directly completing the jump from peak of Jindan to Large Success of Nascent Soul.
There were a total of four small stages to a jump in cultivation. Only one more stage and he would be able to complete the leap to a whole new realm.
"Young man, you've completely angered this old man!"
At the center of the great battle, the old man covered in scars had finally gone berserk.
As the angry roar sounded, the slowly increasing weakness on his body suddenly disappeared. Replacing it was a powerful aura that he had never felt before that suddenly exploded.
"Crackle!"
"Bang, bang bang …"
Stretching out his muscles and bones, the old man's body first emitted a series of crackling noises, then it seemed as if his body had exploded, followed by a loud * Bang * * Bang * * bang * sound.
Almost at the same time that the explosion sounded, the old man's body also started to undergo a tremendous change. His body, which had originally been riddled with wounds, suddenly became filled to the brim. It was as if every inch of his dried up skin and flesh had become full of vital energy, as if it had regained the vigor of youth. His skin was full of light and his flesh was full of vitality.
His incomparably robust appearance was similar to that of an old man in his late years who had gone from the prime of his youth to the prime of his youth.
From head to toe, every inch of his body, every move he made, released an incomparably powerful force.
"Destroy and then erect!"
Lin Feng's gaze became more solemn than ever before.
With his vision, he could clearly see that the old man's body, which had changed from a stooped body to a robust one with abundant vital energy and blood, was not using any forbidden arcane to forcefully raise his strength. It was merely allowing his body, which had been completely silent under self-sealing, to once again be brimming with vitality.
This was a powerful body tempering technique. One must possess sufficient strength to be able to do so.
"Old friend, it's time for you to be unsheathed."
He was like an old man back in his prime, murmuring to himself.
As he spoke, he slowly drew out the sword on his back.
The exchange just now had made him clearly understand Lin Feng's strength. If he wanted to end this battle quickly, just to rejuvenate his body, it was far from enough.
The battle had not lasted long, but it had attracted many spectators. Fortunately, no true experts had arrived. The battle had been quickly decided, and they could still ensure that the Kitigarbha fruit was successfully taken away. However, if a true expert were to arrive, the final result would most likely be a wasted effort.
"Sssii!"
As the body of the sword was unsheathed, a glaring cold glint erupted from the surface of the sword and shot straight at Yun Xiao.
Originally, under the cover of the death aura, the world was shrouded in darkness. However, the moment the cold light shot out of the sword's sheath, the darkness seemed to have dissipated. In some places, the cold light shot out from the sword's body.
The cold light was extremely fierce. The instant it was pulled out, it started to wreak havoc everywhere. It seemed that each of the sharp beams was a divine weapon that could cut through steel like mud. As they crisscrossed each other, the air was actually split open, with numerous cracks on the ground that looked like spider webs.
"This... This was … Luo! Water! River! "Boom!"
The onlookers were shocked by the old man's sudden burst of energy, and by the sword he pulled out.
All of them widened their eyes and mouths. They stood rooted to the spot, unable to make a single sound.
The River Luohe Diagram was a treasure of the Middle Grade Treasure rank. Its attack power was the highest among all other similar ranked magical equipment.
It was said that this sword was a treasure left behind by an Ancient Era's Immortal in one of the Five Great Remains of the Ancient Desolation. Back then, when such a magical equipment appeared in the world, it attracted countless experts from all over the world to fight over it. He had never expected that the final victor would actually be this old man in front of him.
