The Host Of An Ancient Spirit Chapter 29

The King of Death, known as the invincible existence of the Gate of Death, was defeated by Chen Feng.

With a brutal look in his eyes, Chen Feng shouted, “Tell me the truth and don’t play any tricks! Otherwise, I will give you a taste of death.”

"It’s unbelievable that you don’t know where it is. I really doubt how you even got in here. Well, there are eight gates around the ancient battlefield. Those who had crossed these gates could reach the ancient battlefield inside," the King of Death whispered. He seemed a little complacent when seeing the doubtful look in Chen Feng’s eyes.

Chen Feng said with solemn expression, “Go ahead and tell me all what you know. What exactly is the ancient battlefield?”

"The ancient battlefield resulted from a great war in ancient times. It’s said that countless strong pract.i.tioners at the Ling spirit level were fighting here and countless treasures were scattered in the ancient battlefield, including remains of pract.i.tioners, as well as their strong energy. All these are attractive treasures and n.o.body can resist their temptation. However, the ancient battlefield was shrouded in energy after the outbreak of the war. The energy is loosened every ten years. So, countless pract.i.tioners come for the treasures at that moment.”

Chen Feng nodded and kept thinking about his words. They sounded reasonable and the timing was exactly the same as what the elders had told him. Chen Feng continued, "What about the gates in eight directions?"

"The gates in eight directions are special presences around the ancient battlefield that act as the real entrances. But I just wonder why you were not guided by the elders before coming here as a young pract.i.tioner at the Ling nature level,” the King of Death said with a faint smile.

Chen Feng internally scolded himself for his carelessness and how he’d believed that boy’s words so easily. He knew that the boy deliberately did not tell him about all this so that he would waste a lot of time here. If he had followed the elders of the Chen family, it would not be difficult for him to cross this Gate of Death.

However, Chen Feng immediately felt immense relief, since he had never encountered any powerful ent.i.ties. Although the King of Death was very powerful, he could do nothing about him.

The King of Death did not see anger in Chen Feng, so he was slightly disappointed. He then said, "The gates were set according to the rules of Qimen Dunjia (an ancient form of divination), which include the Shengmen Gate, or the Gate of Vitality; the Simen Gate, or the Gate of Death; the Xiumen Gate, or the Gate of Rest; the Jingmen Gate, or the Gate of Surprise; the Shangmen Gate, or the Gate of Injury; the Dumen Gate, or the Gate of Hiding; the Kaimen Gate, or the Gate of Opening; and the Jingmen Gate, or the Gate of Views. Among them, the Simen Gate, the Shangmen Gate, and the Jingmen Gate are the most dangerous. Usually, n.o.body crosses them alive."

Chen Feng nodded and muttered, "I understand. It seems that there are also some strong guards for all the other gates, although they are not as dangerous as those in the Simen Gate."

Soon he asked, "Are the energies in other gates the same as that in the Simen Gate? It’s full of an atmosphere of death, but what about other gates?"

"It’s different, naturally. Just like in the Shengmen Gate, where it’s full of vitality, whereas here,  it’s full of an atmosphere of death. The Jingmen Gate is full of the power of shock. Each one is different from the other," the King of Death said quietly, although he did not know why Chen Feng was so interested in all these energies.

Chen Feng was secretly happy and murmured, "If I can enter the other seven gates to absorb all the energies inside, then my cultivation will definitely rise to a higher level. At that time, the blood and vitality inside my body may be almost consolidated, so it should not be difficult for me to realize continuous breakthroughs.”

Chen Feng thought for a while and said to the King of Death coldly, "Take me to the other seven gates so I can find what’s strange there. Aha!"

"What? You want to enter the other seven gates? Are you crazy?"

However, the King of Death didn’t talk anymore and he secretly said to himself, Since you are looking for death, then don’t blame me. I’ll send you to the Shangmen Gate so that you can properly experience the 'terrible h.e.l.l' over there.

There were interconnecting channels among all these gates, although it wasn’t so easy to cross them. The creatures in one gate couldn’t cross and enter other gates arbitrarily, otherwise they would be torn into pieces instantly.

Chen Feng came to a chaotic death atmosphere with the King of Death. However, there was something different here. Amid the atmosphere of death, a group of bright lights were flas.h.i.+ng where there was just a small gate leading to the s.p.a.ce inside.

But the layer of death atmosphere hovering outside the Gate of s.p.a.ce was not so easily dispersed. It was also impossible for the pract.i.tioners to cross. However, Chen Feng was full of confidence and thought, The Unknown Martial Art can seemingly absorb all kinds of energy, including even the death atmosphere. Although the energy outside was violent, the power and vitality inside my body should be able to withstand it.

Chen Feng rushed inside and suddenly felt a strong energy all over his body. He shouted and the blood and energy were instantly scattered. All the attacking atmosphere of death suddenly abated.

Chen Feng smiled and said, “It’s effective. The blood energy has become more and more powerful. After absorbing the death atmosphere, it actually carries the scent of death, which seems to be the same kind."

After smoothly crossing the Gate of s.p.a.ce, Chen Feng suddenly felt another gust of energy gathering.

He arrived at the Shangmen Gate. Was it the power of injury that resided within? Chen Feng was shocked, but he calmed down in an instant. The Unknown Martial Art was running wildly throughout his body with traces of blood energy constantly moving around. The surrounding harmful power was suddenly sucked into his body.

This power of injury continued to move inside his body according to the route of the Unknown Martial Art. Soon, it was absorbed into the blood energy of his body.

Half an hour had pa.s.sed before Chen Feng crossed the area covered with the thick harmful power.

Suddenly, his body trembled and the all the surrounding power of injury suddenly disappeared. Chen Feng slightly narrowed his eyesight and a ray of light erupted. A powerful energy exploded out of his body. He all-out sprinted, and his speed was twice as fast as before. He randomly blew on the ground and unexpectedly, a big hole appeared there.

Aha, I didn't expect that my power would actually increase so much after absorbing the harmful power. Now, I may have reached the Ling shape level, Chen Feng thought.

With the Ling shape level, one could change and concentrate the Ling force into various forms with ever-changing attacks so as to kill the enemies invisibly.

A glimmer of burning hot fire flashed in his eyes and the energy of blood and vitality was instantly transformed into groups of Ling power. He shouted, "Deform Ling power!”

Suddenly, a Ling force rushed out and compacted into the shape of a long sword in front of him. At once both solid and amorphous, once the sword was waved, a deep pit meters wide was drawn on the ground that stretched out for hundreds of meters.

"By deforming Ling power, my attack can actually reach such a high level without the a.s.sistance of any treasure weapons. I’ve just broke through to reach the Ling shape level and I truly own such a powerful strength. This is amazing. The weapons condensed by Ling power by Chen Jun seem to be less than one-tenth of my power. How come?"

Is it because of the blood energy in my body? Chen Feng wondered to himself. He’d now reached the Ling shape level. Even if he had to fight against a pract.i.tioner at the eighth level, he would have nothing to worry about.

Looking around, Chen Feng wrinkled his eyebrows and felt some huge power fluctuations were constantly approaching as it chased something in front of him. It was a group of monsters with the power of pract.i.tioners above the sixth level.

Are there other people still here in the Shangmen Gate? With this thought in mind, Chen Feng immediately rushed forward to give chase.
