Chapter 1036: The Cliff that Trapped Father
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The night was cool and the moon hung high up, with stars lighting up the entire sky.
Qingfeng Li pinched both his palms, breathing in steady breaths. The large amount of starlight absorbed into his body gathered and accumulated into an incredible amount of silver energy.
This type of energy was different from his vital essence. For one, it wasn't stored in the lower abdomen but rather, it was found ubiquitously in every location of his body, like his meridians, muscles, bones, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys, and so on.
The Conqueror's Finger had a total of nine finger techniques, and every technique required a large amount of starlight energy from the Conqueror Star. Otherwise, these techniques could not be activated.
As Qingfeng Li's body accumulated enough starlight, his vital essence travelled through his veins and condensed into his right hand middle finger, bursting out as if it were a six-pulse godly sword.
"Second Finger – Heart Shock," Qingfeng Li roared as he suddenly shot out the second technique of the Conqueror finger towards a demonic beast far in the distance.
This demonic beast of the peak-stage of Earthly Spirit Realm was a black bear. It was wandering in the distance, eyeing Qingfeng Li as it planned on ambushing the group of people. But now, it became Qingfeng Li's experiment.
The Second Finger - Heart Shock turned into a wave, rippling straight towards the black bear's heart like an earthquake.
The black bear roared in pain as it covered its heart and fell to the ground. After a couple of twitches, it looked towards Qingfeng Li in horror and died.
While the first technique of the Conqueror's Finger, 'One Finger Splits All' attacked a beast from the outside, splitting it into halves, the second technique 'Second Finger – Heart Shock' attacked by creating a shockwave within the demonic beast's body, shattering its heart directly.
Qingfeng Li stood up and walked towards the black bear. Using the Red Fiery Sword, he cut open its heart and found that it had completely shattered into millions of pieces, as if it had suffered through an earthquake.
"Such powerful shattering energy," Qingfeng Li said in awe.
The black bear's most powerful attribute was its defense. With its skin and fur so thick, not even a 20,000-pound attack would have put a dent in the beast. But now, with a mere finger from the Conqueror's Finger second technique, Qingfeng Li had shattered its heart into a million pieces.
Qingfeng Li cut open its abdomen and retrieved a black demonic pill. It was a strength-enhancing demonic pill, containing an incredible amount of force. He handed it over to Daoist so the latter could increase his strength.
Daoist was a member of the Wolf Fang Team. Him and Qingfeng Li were very close, sharing many of their life and death experiences and what not. It was natural for Qingfeng Li to share good things with him.
Of course, there was another reason to why Qingfeng Li gave Daoist the demonic pill; he was the weakest amongst their group. Qingfeng Li knew that he could only focus in his battles when the people around were all strong enough to protect themselves.
Demonic beasts were the most active during nights, with many coming out from the shadows. With bloodshot eyes, they walked towards Qingfeng Li and the others.
Luckily for Qingfeng Li, this was a great chance to practice the second technique of the Conqueror's Finger he had just learnt. He shot out the Conqueror's Finger relentlessly at the demonic beasts, killing them all.
These demonic beasts were no fools. On the contrary, they were actually quite clever. Coming to realize that they were no match for Qingfeng Li, the remaining beasts quickly scattered and ran for their lives.
The next day, the sun began to rise, sprinkling its light on earth and warming the Forbidden district of the Kunlun Mountain.
As the day arrived and the sun shone bright, the forbidden district of the Kunlun Mountains began to come alive as well, as if something was about to happen.
Qingfeng Li found a lot of abandoned structures at the center of the Kunlun Mountains. There were deserted palaces, rubble, and broken stone pillars, all looking very aged, as if they were from ancient times.
At the sight of the enormous deserted palaces, Qingfeng Li felt an inexplicable sense of heaviness in his heart. It wasn't difficult to see that these massive golden palaces were once very prosperous in the ancient times, which were now turned into scraps.
These ruins were covered by a mysterious array formation light veil. Qingfeng Li and the others couldn't enter, as they could only stay in the surrounding area.
"What a massive hand," Qingfeng Li's furrowed his brows in shock.
In the distance, within the depth of the Kunlun Mountain ruins, there was a giant hand print the size of 1000 meters. Every finger was more than 500 meters long, seeming to have been made when the hand flew down from the heavens and branded the earth with five gigantic deep pits.
In the deep pits laid the corpse of a thousand-meter-long enormous demonic beast. Its blood and flesh had vanished, leaving only a pile of shattered white bones.
"Little Feng, a large battle took place in the forbidden district of the Kunlun Mountains during the ancient times. The place was under attack by heavenly beings. We should leave here quickly and go save your father," Wind-Edge Demon King explained as he urged Qingfeng Li and the others to leave.
Not only was Qingfeng Li frightened by the ruins, Wind-Edge Demon King felt his soul tremble as well. They felt a presence of some ancient demonic beast hiding within the ruins, eerie as could be.
With the help of Wind-Edge Demon King and Black Puppy, the group of people travelled very quickly.
Three hours later, Qingfeng Li and the rest arrived at the edge of a cliff.
It was a huge cliff 3000 meters tall, completely made of black stones. These weren't ordinary stones however, but meteor stones.
Normal meteor stones were at the very most as large as a person's face. Due to the friction when it passed through the atmosphere, most disappeared before even reaching earth. These stones, however, were so large that they accumulated into a mountain. It really was a frightening sight.
The Meteor stones in the Forbidden district of Kunlun Mountain contained more self-cultivation powers than all of the Meteor stones collected by self-cultivation sects and forces combined.
This region was called the Sky Breaking Cliff, and it was one of the most mysterious cliffs within the Forbidden district of Kunlun Mountain. According to legends, the cliff was able to break apart the heavens during ancient times. Its name was also derived from this.
"Little Feng, your father is trapped within a King Tier battle array under the Sky Breaking Cliff," Wind-Edge Demon King said to Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li looked worried. He sensed a terrifying energy emitting from the depth of the Sky Breaking Cliff. This energy was immensely powerful, shaking him to his core and making him want to pay homage.
"Look, there are divine peaches in the Sky Breaking Cliff," Flower Fairy pointed at a divine peach tree with her slender hands, face full of shock.
Divine peaches were items possessed only by the East King Mother. But that was just a myth, how was it possible that it had appeared in the cliff?
Suddenly, a voice came from the side, "That's not a divine peach tree. The fruits are actually Heavenly Spirit Peaches but they look a lot like divine peaches."
At the sound of the familiar voice, Qingfeng Li looked delighted. He turned his head and was greeted by the sight of the Sword King, Wushuang Nie.
"Uncle Nie, how did you get here?" Qingfeng Li asked, surprised.
He never thought that he would meet Wushuang Nie in a place like the Sky Breaking Cliff.
