Chapter 2027: Chapter 2024: Battle Against the Holy Spirit King

The Holy Spirit King snorted coldly, "Ignorant of the heights of heaven and the depths of earth, Ten Thousand Thunders Annihilation Explosion!"

As the Holy Spirit King’s voice fell, countless thunderbolts, under his control, rushed toward Ling Feng. Thick lightning and roaring Thunder Snakes seemed to tear the heavens asunder, forming a Thunder Prison akin to the apocalypse.

But as the countless thunderbolts reached within two meters of Ling Feng, they could not advance further, almost as if the area surrounding Ling Feng was another realm.

"Power of Space?" The Holy Spirit King’s brow furrowed. "No, that’s not right. I don’t sense any fluctuation of the Space Law. If it’s not the Power of Space, then why can’t my lightning strike Ling Feng?"

Ling Feng chuckled, "Holy Spirit King, did I not say, are you comparing Thunder Control Techniques with me? Thunder Control Technique!"

With a low roar, Ling Feng waved his hand, and the thunderbolts rotating around him instantly broke free from the Holy Spirit King’s control, and instead, under Ling Feng’s command, they retaliated against the Holy Spirit King.

The Holy Spirit King’s expression changed, even though the Thunder Power controlled by Ling Feng was only a fraction of the Ten Thousand Thunder Domain, it was enough to shock the Holy Spirit King.

Ling Feng snapped his fingers, and the thunderbolts he controlled vanished. He said to the Holy Spirit King, "Holy Spirit King, if this is all you have, then I’m sorry. You’re destined to die today!"

"In tens of thousands of years, you are the first to dare say such words to me!" The Holy Spirit King’s face turned grim, feeling that Ling Feng’s power seemed beyond his expectations.

"Ling Feng, do you know why, over the millennia, I tolerated Camille’s rebellion and stayed in the Suspended City?" The Holy Spirit King spoke calmly.

Ling Feng raised a brow, "Oh? I’m curious too, with your strength, wiping out Camille’s Angel Resistance Army shouldn’t be difficult. But why do you tolerate their existence?"

"Because I need them!" The Holy Spirit King said plainly, "This world, after all, is the Angel World. Angels are the natural rulers of this realm. Though I’ve stolen this world, I’m still rejected by it. This is the reason I’ve been unable to take the final step to achieve the Immortal Realm!"

"But I know there’s a way to gain this world’s acceptance!" The Holy Spirit King smiled at Ling Feng, "But this method, you would never think of!"

Ling Feng squinted his eyes, a bad premonition rising within him.

"This method is to cultivate using the Heart of Angel from the Angel Race!" The Holy Spirit King laughed heartily, "The more rebellious the angels, the purer the Heart of Angel. By using these hearts in cultivation, I can extract a trace of the Origin Power from the Angel World!"

Ling Feng’s face darkened, "You’re using the hearts of angels for cultivation?"

"You seem quite angry from your expression?" The Holy Spirit King sneered, "Victory defines the king, defeat the bandit, survival of the fittest—this world is such, isn’t it? Over millennia, I’ve no idea how many Hearts of Angel I’ve devoured."

"You think matching me in Thunder Control Technique gives you the capital to confront me?" The Holy Spirit King sneered, "My strength is beyond your imagination. Even experts in the Immortal Realm wouldn’t dare to be insolent with me. So... Ling Feng, you’re too naive!"

As the Holy Spirit King’s words fell, a loud boom echoed from the void, and nine enormous light beams shot skywards, immense energy flowing into the Holy Spirit King’s body, making his form expand over double.

This physical expansion was purely due to the excessive energy within, and with his form enlarged, the pressure on Ling Feng increased.

Ling Feng’s previously calm expression finally became more solemn; it appeared the Holy Spirit King truly possessed the capability to rule the Angel World for so long; he had underestimated him.

"Ling Feng, I don’t know what encounter you’ve had, leading you to reach the Half-step Immortality, but I tell you, no miraculous encounter can compare to the accumulation of thousands of years!" The Holy Spirit King roared.

Boom! With the Holy Spirit King’s hand pressing down, the entire void sank suddenly, and Ling Feng felt the surrounding air become more viscous, almost suffocating.

"Is this trying to suppress me with spiritual pressure?" Ling Feng laughed coldly, the Dragon God Technique circulating within him, directly breaking free from the Holy Spirit King’s spiritual pressure suppression, charging straight at the Holy Spirit King.

"Good timing!" The Holy Spirit King widened his eyes, a layer of golden armor appeared on his body surface, and holding a Greatsword, he swung it towards the charging Ling Feng.

The Mo Yu Sword appeared in Ling Feng’s hand, infused with powerful energy, it drove forward with unstoppable momentum towards the Holy Spirit King.

Boom! A loud explosion resounded as they collided, the massive explosive sound and shock wave threatened to shatter the entire sky.

The Holy Spirits living in the Suspended City looked at the battle in the sky with horror; never had they imagined that the seemingly invincible Holy Spirit King was evenly matched with the opponent!

The fierce shock waves fell from mid-air, wherever they reached, all palaces and houses were pulverized.

"Run! Help!"

"Oh my God, who is that guy, how is he so powerful!"

"I don’t want to die!"

...

But their prayers brought them no fortune, except for some Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm experts barely surviving in the explosions and shock waves, the less powerful Holy Spirits were almost entirely wiped out by the shock waves.

"Run!" Those Pinnacle Azure Sky Realm experts trembled with fear, not daring to stay near the Suspended City. When the city gates catch fire, the fish in the moat suffer; another hit from the shock waves and they might perish on the spot!

The Suspended City had turned into ruins; as for those escaping experts, the Holy Spirit King paid them no attention, as they served no purpose. But the destruction of his residence filled him with fury.

"Ling Feng!" The Holy Spirit King roared, his eyes filled with intense killing intent, "I will kill you today!"

Ling Feng laughed heartily, "Likewise, I’m not planning to let you go."

Boom boom boom, the two engaged in dozens of exchanges again, each blow carrying immense power, the resulting shock waves utterly destroying the surroundings; even the space around seemed to tremble.

The two fought fiercely for half a day, and to the Holy Spirit King’s shock, he realized that Ling Feng’s strength seemed inexhaustible. Despite so many intense clashes, his aura showed no sign of disorder.

"Such foundation cannot be accumulated through encounters alone," the Holy Spirit King thought to himself.
