Chapter 1365 – Level Nine Intent

“Lord Wuheng, how did the operation go?” Ancient God Cheng Yun excitedly asked.

This was the treasury built by the Giant God Race. It should have contained enough resources and treasures to support the Giant God Race in a rapid ascension.

“The treasury has been occupied by a group of Yao Gods, and many of the treasures and resources were removed long ago. Zhao Feng and I didn’t have much time, so we were only able to get a little,” Xin Wuheng spoke frankly.

The other members of the Giant God Race were somewhat disappointed. This was a treasury established by the Giant God Race, but the coup by the Ancient Soul Race prevented the Giant God Race from coming back to this place until now, causing the treasury to be occupied by Yao Gods.

“But don’t get nervous. This Ancestral Legacy Treasury is exceptionally vast and brimming with opportunity. We can remain here for a little longer and gather resources!” Xin Wuheng suggested.

His words naturally obtained the approval of the others.

Firstly, they hadn’t gained much, so even if they went back now, what they had wasn’t enough to reverse the situation for the Giant God Race. Secondly, one naturally needed to spend some more time in such a strange and valuable place as the Ancestral Legacy Treasury. If they could extract some treasures from here to increase their strength, it would only be a boon to the Giant God Race.

It was rumored that this place also contained the secret to becoming a God Lord. If they were so lucky as to find this secret and perhaps even enter the ranks of God Lords, then even if they didn’t bring back many resources, they could lead the Giant God Race in overthrowing Ancient Soul Hall.

“This place is fraught with danger. Our current strength is far from enough….” Xin Wuheng took the resources he had obtained from the treasury and distributed them.

These resources were left by the Giant God Race for people like them, so it was only right that they were used by members of the Giant God Race. Xin Wuheng was now taking them out so that he could increase the strength of his group.

“Many thanks, Hall Master!” Ancient God Resplendence and the others were shocked and delighted as they took these precious resources.

Normally, they would need to exchange contribution points for these resources, but the situation was unique, allowing them to enjoy such treatment.

“Zhao Feng, we also need your strength, so you can also be considered a part of Giant God Hall,” Xin Wuheng spoke to Zhao Feng.

These resources were meant for the Giant God Race, but there was far from enough. If he gave some of them to Zhao Feng, he would inevitably arouse the displeasure of other members of the Giant God Race, so he made up this reason.

“These things belong to your Giant God Race, so keep it. Instead, I hope that, if I encounter any other treasures or opportunities in this place, I will have the right to distribute it how I see fit.” Zhao Feng rejected Xin Wuheng’s gift and gave his own request.

After all, he only had a chance to come here because of Xin Wuheng and the Giant God Race. If he were to obtain any treasures, the Giant God Race would inevitably set their eyes on them, leading to conflict between the two sides. Thus, Zhao Feng refused the Giant God Race’s resources and stated his own demand.

“Okay! I have no objection. Everyone will rely on their own abilities,” Ancient God Cheng Yun immediately said.

If he refused, Zhao Feng would be able to wantonly use the resources of the Giant God Race, something Ancient God Cheng Yun could not bear to watch. Besides, the Giant God Race had more people; would they somehow be lacking compared to Zhao Feng alone when it came to finding treasure?

“Okay. Let’s do that.” Xin Wuheng also didn’t care that much.

Zhao Feng played a major role in getting all of them into the Ancestral Legacy Treasury alive. In addition, Zhao Feng and his little thieving cat would be absolutely necessary in the upcoming search, so his demand wasn’t excessive at all.

Besides, this dimension was something that the ancestors of the Giant God Race found by accident, not something that the Giant God Race created with their own hands. This place was a land of many fortunes, but also of many dangers. If Zhao Feng had the strength, he could take what he pleased.

…

On the other end, the team from Ancient Soul Hall was being pursued by a group of Yao Gods.

“We can’t let them escape!” the giant silver tiger roared.

It just learned that Zhao Feng’s group had smoothly escaped. If they allowed these humans to escape as well, it would never be able to vent its anger.

“It seems like only force works on you lot! You really think that the Ancient Soul Race is that easy to bully around!?” Ancient God Jailsea was infuriated.

He did not want to fight too much with these Yao Gods, but they were doggedly pursuing him. For a mighty half-step God Lord like him to be pursued by two peak Rank Nine Ancient God left him utterly fuming.

Bzzzz!

Ancient God Jailsea immediately activated his bloodline energy, and his body transformed entirely into a black translucent soul body.

Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The attacks of the silver tiger and silver-green python passed straight through Ancient God Jailsea, inflicting little harm.

“The Ancient Soul Race!?” The silver-green python grimaced. It recalled that this race was extremely powerful and skilled in soul attacks.

“Imprisoning Hell Sea!” Ancient God Jailsea’s body expanded into dark waves that swept across the sky.

Many of the Yao Gods with weaker souls trembled as unprecedented pressure weighed down on their souls.

“Ancient God Jailsea’s supreme skill!”

“By using the special soul body of the Ancient Soul Race and activating a secret bloodline art, he can transform into a soul-imprisoning sea that will plunge all souls into the underworld!”

The other two members of the team couldn’t help but sigh in wonder.

“Die!” Ancient God Jailsea yelled.

The black wave immediately rose dozens of feet into the air, howling down and engulfing the Yao Gods.

The two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods immediately used soul attacks. Alas, Ancient God Jailsea’s soul defenses were too formidable, pushing aside the soul attacks and continuing undeterred. The two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods were swiftly entrapped by the black waves, as were many other Yao Gods in the area.

At the start, these Yao Gods still attempted to put up a struggle. However, their souls began to rapidly weaken, and the souls of many Rank Eight Yao Gods were directly devoured by Ancient God Jailsea.

“Not good! This person’s soul techniques are too strong!” The silver-green python was using Time Intent to battle with the dark waves.

“Save me!” On the other side, the silver tiger was worse than the python when it came to speed and dexterity, so it had already been bound up by Ancient God Jailsea’s soul body.

“Anyone who calls themselves a half-step God Lord must have at least one Intent that has reached Level Nine. My Water Intent has incredible binding power. None of you will be able to escape!” Ancient God Jailsea’s voice came from the black ocean.

Besides Water Intent, his soul attack also contained Shadow Intent. The two working together could cause a soul to gradually lose consciousness and fall into silence. As long as they had no ability to resist, he could devour their souls and refine them.

However, this secret art consumed enormous amounts of his bloodline energy. Moreover, the vast range of the attack meant that it was also more taxing on his mind.

The two peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods had nasty expressions. If not for their powerful Soul Intents and mastery of Time Intent, they would have been killed long ago.

The world had gone dark, the black waves seeking to drown everything.

“Work together!” The peak Rank Nine Yao Gods met eyes and used Time Intent at the same time.

The world suddenly became extremely slow, and then stopped. The two peak Rank Nine Yao Gods used this moment to break free of Ancient God Jailsea’s bindings.

Not long after they escaped the bindings, the world returned to normal.

“They escaped? Time Intent?” Ancient God Jailsea’s expression darkened.

The two peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods worked together to use Time Intent to freeze time in the surrounding region. Fortunately for him, Ancient God Jailsea was so powerful that he was only frozen for less than half a second.

After breaking free, the two peak Rank Nine Ancient Gods weakly and dejectedly stared at Ancient God Jailsea. Although they had escaped the prison, they were in terrible condition, not even able to use fifty percent of their power.

But Ancient God Jailsea’s secret art had been going on for a rather long while now.

“Let’s go!” The black waves slowly receded, transforming back into Ancient God Jailsea.

He had succeeded in intimidating the two Yao God groups, but he had also greatly expended his reserves. Continuing to battle would deal an irreparable wound to his soul. Moreover, this place was extremely dangerous, and they still had a mission to accomplish.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ancient God Jailsea’s team left while the surviving Yao Gods only watched.

“Xin Wuheng, Zhao Feng, I’ll definitely make it so that you’ll be begging for me to kill you!” Ancient God Jailsea clenched his teeth, his expression savage.

Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng were definitely the ones responsible for this incident.

…

Zhao Feng’s party remained resting deep underground. The members of the Giant God Race were using the items obtained from the treasury to cultivate and increase their strength.

Zhao Feng removed a dark Lightning Crystal from the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror and ate it.

The Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror could refine the souls absorbed into the mirror without any action on Zhao Feng’s part. While it was refining souls, the Lightning energy of the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror would weaken. However, if one used the refined Lightning Soul Crystals as an energy source, the power of the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror could be strengthened.

Recently, Zhao Feng constantly ate Lightning Soul Crystals to refine his Soul Intent, strengthen his soul energy, and remove the impurities in his mind.

“Lightning Soul Crystal?” Ancient God Cheng Yun saw Zhao Feng swallow a dark Lightning Crystal and was immediately startled.

It was no wonder Zhao Feng’s Soul eye-bloodline techniques were so powerful that not even the Giant God Race bloodline could contend against it; Zhao Feng had such a precious soul resource at his disposal.

“I hear that Lightning Soul Crystals can temper one’s soul, condense soul energy, drive out heart demons, and cause the soul to undergo a massive transformation!” Ancient God Sundermount immediately said.

“But he’s directly eating them! How reckless!” Ancient God Cheng Yun quietly chuckled.

The medicinal effect of Lightning Soul Crystals was extremely tyrannical. They were normally crushed into powder or taken in combination with liquids that could repair one’s soul. Otherwise, it was impossible to endure the tyrannical medicinal effect of the Lightning Soul Crystals and irreparable damage would be done to the soul.

However, Zhao Feng didn’t appear to be in any discomfort after eating a Lightning Soul Crystal. It was even possible to hear a crunching sound from his mouth, and he appeared to be savoring the experience.

Zhao Feng wasn’t just feigning this; the tyrannical Lightning Soul Crystals were perfect supplements for his Lightning Soul Body.

Alas, these Lightning Soul Crystals were all refined from the souls of Rank Eight Ancient Gods….  Zhao Feng internally sighed.

These Lightning Soul Crystals were refined from the souls of the Heavenly Demon Hall’s experts, but the strongest soul he had absorbed into the Nine Lightning Soul-Refining Mirror at the time was peak Rank Eight at most.

Zhao Feng’s Soul Intent had already reached the limit of Rank Eight, and the more Lightning Soul Crystals he consumed, the less effect they would have. If he could consume a Lightning Soul Crystal refined from a Rank Nine soul, his Soul Intent might finally be able to cross that threshold.

Besides cultivating his soul, Zhao Feng was also cultivating Time Intent. In the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, if one was not skilled in Time Intent, one would greatly suffer. Zhao Feng was already cultivating Time Intent anyway, and the many Time Intent resources here made it easier for him to improve.

Xin Wuheng and the other Ancient Gods were also using this opportunity to cultivate Time Intent.

One month later, the group ended their seclusion and prepared to continue exploring.

“Let’s first seek out some excellent Time Intent resources. If we can all comprehend Time Intent, it will be an enormous boost to our overall strength!” Xin Wuheng proposed.
