A full forty-five young talents of the Celestial Lion Clan had been blasted to death by Qin Feng’s Sun Fire Thunder.

Ye Qinghua, Jiang Bing’Er, and the others felt a chill run through their very souls.

The aftershocks of their battle alone were this devastating. It was a testament to their astonishing power. If they were to face either of them head-on, they would likely be killed in a single move.

Xuelian repelled Shi Han with a single strike, her form transforming into a river of ice as she landed beside Ye Qinghua and the others.

At the same time, a streak of sword light flew over from the distance.

"We need to get out of here. If we stay, we’ll get caught in the crossfire. What just happened to those members of the Celestial Lion Clan is a warning to us all!"

Zhang Xuan’s voice was cold as his body transformed into a streak of sword light, retreating several hundred zhang in an instant.

Xuelian nodded as well, quickly following suit in a hasty retreat.

Ye Qinghua and Jiang Bing’Er exchanged a look, seeing the terror on each other’s faces. They too retreated one after another.

Qin Feng’s gaze swept over the retreating figures, a hint of calm in his eyes. ’A wise choice.’

Not far away, Shi Wushuang stared at the mangled corpses of the Celestial Lion Clan experts, his eyes nearly splitting with rage. A venomous killing intent pierced the Firmament. His gaze fell upon Qin Feng, cold as ice, and he roared, "You deserve to die ten thousand deaths!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Emperor’s Earth-Shattering Fist—Celestial Lion Devours the Sun!"

A golden light erupted, seemingly tearing the Void apart. The next moment, Shi Wushuang appeared a few zhang away from Qin Feng. He threw a punch, and a flash of gold appeared, accompanied by a world-shaking roar that echoed with the primal savagery of the Barbaric Wilderness.

The golden light transformed into a colossal, brawny Three-eyed Golden Lion that lunged forward to swallow Qin Feng whole.

This was the third form of the Emperor’s Earth-Shattering Fist. An Elder of the Celestial Lion Royal Family had once used this Divine Ability to devour tens of thousands of Fierce Beasts in a single gulp.

"You want to swallow me? Fine, I’ll let you!"

Qin Feng sneered, condensing his Star True Power and transforming into a streak of light that shot straight into the Golden Celestial Lion’s massive mouth.

"You dare enter my Golden Celestial Lion’s stomach by yourself? You’re dead meat! Even a Second-stage Top-level Quasi-Beast King would be refined to death by the True Sun Fire inside!"

Shi Wushuang was overjoyed and threw his head back, laughing.

Strands of golden-yellow True Power once again surged from Shi Wushuang’s body, pouring into the Golden Celestial Lion. The beast immediately swelled to the size of a small mountain, as if it had come to life and gained a soul.

The Golden Celestial Lion roared at the sky. Hundreds of zhang away, the surrounding temperature plummeted inexplicably as infinite sunlight converged within its body. It seemed like a Golden Divine Lion that had walked straight out of the sun.

Far away, watching this scene with terrified eyes, Xuelian shook her head repeatedly. "This time, Qin Feng was too arrogant. He actually walked right into a trap by entering that Golden Celestial Lion. It’s formed from pure True Sun Fire, and inside, there’s the even hotter Golden Divine Fire. That Golden Divine Fire can refine even some High Level Spirit Swords into scrap!"

’Golden Divine Fire? It’s nothing before my Heavenly Dao Level True Power!’

Inside the Golden Celestial Lion, standing amidst the True Sun Fire, Qin Feng was clad in a Black Robe. A layer of silver light surrounded him like a black hole, rapidly absorbing the True Sun Fire from the lion’s body.

’The profound mysteries of a Heavenly Dao Level True Power are beyond anyone’s imagination. What is this True Sun Fire? Before my Heavenly Dao Level Star True Power, it’s completely insignificant. Not only can it not harm me, it’s actually a massive supplement, perfect for my Cultivation and for condensing my first Spirit Vein!’

Muttering to himself, Qin Feng sneered continuously.

He glanced at the endless golden flames around him and let out a furious roar. All 48,000 pores on his body opened, turning him into a North Nether Black Hole that devoured the boundless True Sun Fire surging toward him.

Qin Feng activated the second-level Secret Technique of the Mixed Element Star Technique. His Star True Power surged from all directions like a grindstone, violently crushing the power of the True Sun Fire.

He broke down the True Sun Fire’s power, returning it to its source and refining it into a ball of pure Primordial Power. Guided by his Spiritual Power, he began to form a starlight Spirit Vein within his body that radiated a silvery-white Spiritual Light.

The second realm of the Martial Dao, the Condensing Vein Realm, was all about condensing Spirit Veins within the body. The more Spirit Veins one condensed, the stronger they became.

Generally speaking, the more solid a Martial Artist’s foundation in their Martial Arts Realm, the more Spirit Veins each of their Secret Realms could accommodate.

Every major power had its own unique Vein Condensing Secret Technique.

The second level of the All Stars Academy’s Mixed Element Star Technique contained several extremely high-grade Vein Condensing Secret Techniques, all of which condensed unique starlight Spirit Veins.

Qin Feng recalled several of the highest-level Vein Condensing Secret Techniques, among them the Red Dragon Nerve Secret Technique, the Four Extremes Nerve Secret Technique, the Six Paths Nerve Secret Technique, and one called the Chaos Five Elements Nerve Secret Method.

The Secret Technique Qin Feng had chosen for himself was the Chaos Five Elements Secret Technique.

It used the Five Directions Starlight Condensing Vein method to form the Five Elements Star River Secret Realm.

For the Five Directions and Five Elements, the First Secret Realm was the Red Flame Secret Realm, which condensed only Fire Attribute starlight Spirit Veins.

Qin Feng was about to begin Condensing Vein. The Chaos Five Elements Secret Technique flashed through his mind as countless streams of intense True Sun Fire were forcibly drawn into his body and pulverized by his Star True Power.

Strictly speaking, True Sun Fire was also a type of Star Power, one produced by a star of the utmost firmness and pure yang.

A fiery glint flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. He sat cross-legged inside the Golden Celestial Lion, surrounded by innumerable vicious torrents of True Sun Fire that sought to refine him.

His ten fingers rapidly formed a Seal Technique. Surges of Star True Power flew from his palms, coalescing into a series of strange and ancient Runes.

The Runes danced in his palms. Wisps of the pulverized True Sun Fire were drawn out from within Qin Feng’s body. Although this True Sun Fire, utterly shattered by his Star True Power, had lost its tyrannical nature, it was now majestically Pure Yang.

It was true Pure Yang Power!

Driven by the ancient Runes, a pillar of Pure Yang Power flowed into the starlight Spirit Vein condensing inside him. Tainted by the Pure Yang Power, the silvery-white starlight Spirit Vein turned crimson after a few dozen breaths.

Crimson points of light began to glow on one of Qin Feng’s arms. These points were scattered across his left arm, covering it completely and extending all the way to his heart.

With that, a Secret Realm in his heart suddenly rumbled open.

This was the Human Extreme Secret Realm!

The fiery red points of light on Qin Feng’s arm suddenly connected. A faint crimson glow shone through, vaguely resembling a red serpent soaring into the sky.

This was a Spirit Vein—the first Spirit Vein Qin Feng had condensed in his Human Extreme Secret Realm. Qin Feng named it the Pure Yang Spiritual Vein.

This was because the Spirit Vein had been condensed from pure Pure Yang Star Force.

RUMBLE!

As the Spirit Vein successfully formed, it suddenly transformed into a Red Dragon and flew out of Qin Feng’s body. Under Qin Feng’s control, the Red Dragon grew rapidly, and the True Sun Fire within the Golden Celestial Lion became its playground.

In just four or five breaths, the Golden Celestial Lion was completely devoured by the Pure Yang Red Dragon.

ROAR!

Following a tremendous roar, Shi Wushuang—who was outside, sneering as he controlled the Golden Celestial Lion—saw his eyes go wide and his face turn pale. A massive, several-zhang-long Red Dragon burst out from the Golden Celestial Lion and lunged forward to swallow him whole!
