281: Chapter 280: Mutation, Heavenly Hand!
The oppressive force was already getting very close to the Spirit Merging Realm.
Everyone fell silent, as Lin Feng had grown many times stronger than before he entered, almost nobody could match him.
Even Ling Fengzi and Mu Chen didn’t make their move, but neither had they given up on the idea of acquiring Earth Rank Martial Arts.
Lin Feng’s gaze swept around, but he did not spot Lin Xuan’s figure, which made him slightly startled.
However, he didn’t pay it much attention, as now that he had acquired Earth Rank Martial Arts, he no longer considered Lin Xuan a threat.
His ambition was now immense, and given enough time, he was certain he could surpass the Lin Clan Clan Leader!
Just as Lin Feng thought about leaving, Spirit Martial Mountain once again erupted with brilliance, a pillar of light shot up to the heavens, followed by tens of thousands of lights rapidly bursting forth.
The crowd was astonished, “Could it be another Earth Rank Martial Art?”
However, that dazzling light had barely shown itself when it swiftly dissipated, and even the pillar of light reaching to the heavens became illusory and quickly vanished.
“What’s going on here?” The crowd was bewildered, this was a phenomenon they had never seen before.
“That aura is too weak, isn’t it?
It’s not even as strong as Zhao Jie’s!”
“Could it be he didn’t even get an Intermediate Spirit Rank Martial Art?” The crowd speculated, their words laced with schadenfreude.
Lin Feng looked toward the figure floating down from midair with disdain on his face, sensing that there was no significant change in Lin Xuan, he simply stopped paying attention.
Others, however, were staring at Lin Xuan with curiosity.
Lin Xuan landed on the ground, feeling everyone’s gaze, he touched his chin.
Lin, did you get an Earth Rank Martial Art?” Bai Ling asked from the crowd.
“Oh, has someone received an Earth Rank Martial Art?” Lin Xuan’s eyebrows slightly raised.
Thereupon, Bai Ling briefly went over the martial arts levels that the other four had obtained.
When he heard that Lin Feng had actually acquired Earth Rank Martial Arts, Lin Xuan’s pupils shrank.
He looked at Lin Feng with a solemn gaze, worthy of being his opponent, actually managing to get Earth Rank Martial Arts!
Lin Feng’s face was full of arrogance, completely ignoring Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan sneered inwardly, it seemed that a mere Earth Rank Martial Art had already made Lin Feng lose his senses, although Lin Feng had Earth Rank Martial Arts, were the martial arts he obtained any weaker?
With that thought, Lin Xuan said indifferently, “What I got is not an Earth Rank Martial Art.”
“Not an Earth Rank Martial Art.” The crowd was greatly disappointed and, once again assessing Lin Xuan’s aura, found it didn’t seem like he was lying.
Indeed, what Lin Xuan had obtained was not Earth Rank Martial Arts, but something that transcended them, an Inheritance Martial Art.
According to Lord of Wine, the Gale Chasing Lightning Sword he obtained had power surpassing ordinary low-level Earth Rank Martial Arts and contained the experience and insights of countless predecessors, far beyond what Earth Rank Martial Arts could compare to.
In the distance, the light on Spirit Martial Mountain disappeared, once again falling into slumber, and the crowd knew this meant this trip to the Floating Island was about to end.
As per usual, these individuals would leave the Floating Island in three to five days, gradually returning to where they had entered.
Three days quickly passed, and batches of martial artists disappeared within the Floating Island, with Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artists from the Mu family and the Black Wind Sect leaving one after another.
Lin Feng’s body radiated light, blessed with an unknown power, his body gradually fading away.
Just as he was about to vanish, a tremendous force rapidly appeared in midair, as if a Heavenly Hand was trying to seize him.
Another massive hand emerged, reaching for Lin Feng.
“Not good, it’s the old monsters from the Mu family and Black Wind Sect making a move again!” Bai Ling exclaimed.
This is no surprise, given how astonishing Earth Rank Martial Arts are, even a Three-star Sect couldn’t remain calm.
Lin Xuan’s heart trembled, now that an old monster had made a move, his situation was very dangerous.
He looked up into the sky only to see Lin Feng’s entire body enveloped in red light, with the phantom of a red maple tree swaying behind him as he rapidly shot into the high sky and disappeared.
Those two illusory hands also swiftly followed, and the sky restored its clarity.
Lin, you need to be careful.
Although the Floating Island is a realm of its own, some old monsters can still have some influence.”
Soon after, Bai Ling and the others also vanished, leaving the Floating Island.
Lin Xuan frowned tightly, his face turning grim; he had a very bad premonition, as if someone had locked onto his aura.
“Little Xuanzi, I still have some power left to send you out of the Floating Island, but it can only be used once,” Lord of Wine slowly said.
Lin Xuan nodded; he knew this method was for saving lives and should not be used lightly.
Half a day later, his body also began to glow.
The magical power of the Floating Island imbued him, ready to send him out of the Island.
Just then, as if torn apart, the sky displayed black cracks, and a pale hand, nearly a kilometer wide, mercilessly reached for him.
Below, the mountains and earth all shattered under this strike.
“Damn it, this isn’t a Soul Fusion Realm Martial Artist!” Lin Xuan’s face turned extremely ugly.
Such a method completely surpassed the Soul Fusion Realm, making him feel as if he were facing the very heavens and earth.
“It must be a Spirit Transformation Realm old monster; I will take you away immediately!” Lord of Wine said in a deep voice.
Once enveloped by this hand, even in Lord of Wine’s current state, it would be very difficult to leave, so they had to hurry before the hand struck.
The gigantic hand nearly caused space to annihilate itself, a mere brush of its wind was enough to shatter the Copper Thunder Pattern on Lin Xuan’s body.
A black vortex rapidly appeared on Lin Xuan, spinning continuously.
Lin Xuan’s figure became fainter and eventually vanished.
Right when he disappeared, the gigantic hand in the sky violently reached down, throwing the entire sky into chaos.
In the outside world, a gaunt old man suddenly opened his eyes, with two beams of light shooting out of his pupils, each several dozen meters long, as if they could pierce through the void.
“How did it go, Ancestor?” A middle-aged man beside him asked urgently, with disciples like Mu Chen standing by his side.
The gaunt old man shook his head; both of them had escaped.
“What?” The many Martial Artists behind him exclaimed in shock, “How is that possible?
How could two ants escape from the palm of your hand!”
“These two are not simple.
They probably have a sky-breaking secret treasure on them,” the Mu Family Ancestor said solemnly, “Although they have escaped, they haven’t gone far.”
“And, I’ve left a mark on them.”
“Mu Hua, Mu Xing, you two must capture these two pests!”
“Yes!” the two old men said gravely.
Two figures soared quickly into the air, flying off into the distance, revealing they were Soul Fusion Realm Experts!
“Earth Rank Martial Arts, Sky-breaking Secret Treasure…
all belong to my Mu family!” The Mu Family Ancestor slowly closed his eyes.
Thousands of miles away from the Mu family, a figure suddenly appeared in the void and then fell rapidly.
This person was Lin Xuan, his cloak flapping behind him like a gliding bird, landing smoothly on the ground.
As soon as he landed, he spat out crimson blood, his entire face also turned deathly white.
“Damned old guy, to think he’s so terrifying!” Lin Xuan had just been touched by a whiff of the palm wind, and he nearly turned into a pile of mush.
