"Surprisingly, there are people inside that forest who can hide their Qi and who are seemingly very strong. Where am I?" thought Lin Feng. Lin Feng had the feeling he was inside an illusion. The cultivator of the third Tian Qi layer probably knew the surroundings quite well. Lin Feng didn't really understand what was going on yet, though.
If his godly awareness hadn't been strong enough, the attack a moment before would have killed him.
"You think you can escape?" said Lin Feng coldly. He used wind intent to move even faster. Coupled with his Xiao Yao agility technique, he was as fast as lightning.
However, the enemy didn't leave any trace of Qi. Lin Feng had to be careful, otherwise, he could easily be jumped again.
"No wonder that cultivator of the third Tian Qi layer attacked me." thought Lin Feng. He tried to release Qi to see if he could find the enemy.
That person knew they couldn't escape so they turned around. Lin Feng had the feeling it was an illusion, a deadly illusion at that.
"Die!" shouted Lin Feng furiously while releasing energies and punching the air in front of him. His punch contained demon seal energies.
"Boom!" Lin Feng's demon seal strength restricted his enemy so they could barely move. Lin Feng had broken through to the fourth Tian Qi layer and his opponent had the strength of the third Tian Qi layer, therefore it wasn't difficult for him to gain the upper-hand.
"Boom boom!" That person crashed on the ground and blood splashed out their mouth.
"Slash!"
That person released ice-cold dagger energies. As Lin Feng wasn't too far from them, their cold energies felt even colder.
"Die!" said Lin Feng coldly. He had studied the emperors' paintings and was prepared for some battles. His opponent could barely move after being punched.
"Boom boom!"
He was crawling now. Lin Feng trampled on their arm and crackling sounds were heard. The opponent gave a horrible shriek.
"Why did you attack me?" asked Lin Feng. The opponent looked at him in an evil and cold way.
"Since you're here, why would you ask?" asked the opponent.
"Where are we?" asked Lin Feng coldly. The opponent looked at him in a strange way. How had Lin Feng made it there?
Besides, he hadn't thought that he would lose with his abilities and his illusions. He had killed many people, many of whom were as strong as Lin Feng, sometimes stronger. In the illusion, it was usually difficult for people to counterattack. However, Lin Feng easily understood his attacks and had even chased him. Maybe Lin Feng was a manhunter?
"Don't you know?" asked the opponent coldly.
"I don't know." replied Lin Feng.
"How did you come here then?" asked that person coldly.
"I asked you a question, answer me, maybe I won't kill you if you tell me." said Lin Feng, just as coldly. What? Maybe he wouldn't kill him? He still had a chance to live.
Nobody was merciful there. How could Lin Feng be merciful?
"Are you serious?"
"If you continue asking questions, I'll change my mind." said Lin Feng coldly.
"We're under the Huang Sea, in a place made of fire. It's also a place of massacre. Many extremely strong cultivators and imperial cultivation disciples come here to practice. They come here to kill people and become stronger. It's a place where life and death coexist. Here, people fight for strength, not for glory." said Lin Feng's interlocutor. Lin Feng was surprised. He was under the Huang Sea, no wonder there was desolate Qi!
"According to legends, that place was created by several strong cultivators from the Ba Huang Province. They took huge risks to create that world. It is also very beneficial to practice cultivation here. EVERYONE who wants to become an imperial cultivation disciple has to come here at least once. If they die here, then it means they're not strong enough to become imperial cultivation disciples. There are also several imperial cultivation disciples who come here to practice. They're the only ones who can come here without any restrictions. And only emperors can send people here. Disciples who belong to rich and powerful families have to ask emperors for their permission before coming here. Therefore, when people come here, they're merciless and will try to kill everyone. That's why I tried to kill you." said that person.
That was a place of massacre… People went there to kill… And those who wanted to become imperial cultivation disciples had to come here at least once.
"No wonder Mu Chen sent us here. We have to massacre people." thought Lin Feng. He then asked again, "How vast is this place? How many strong cultivators are there?"
"It's as vast as a city. There are only Tian level cultivators here, if there were Zun cultivators as well, it would be difficult. I don't know how many people there are total though. There are people from the entire province. Apart from imperial cultivation disciples and rich young cultivators, there are few others who are sent here. Therefore, I think there should be a dozen or several hundreds of thousands of people." replied Lin Feng's interlocutor.
"How can we get out?" asked Lin Feng.
The other remained silent.
"Tell me the truth, if I think you're lying, I'll kill you without hesitating." said Lin Feng coldly. He had the impression that his interlocutor was scared.
"Cultivators of the first Tian Qi layer have to kill ten people here. There are people who guard the territory and altars of sacrifice, so you have to go through them to get back to your imperial territory. If you have broken through to the second Tian Qi layer, then you must kill twenty people, and so on. A cultivator of the ninth Tian Qi layer layer must kill ninety people." said Lin Feng's interlocutor.
Lin Feng had to kill so many people to get back. No wonder that place was a place of massacre. He didn't want to tell Lin Feng because Lin Feng might then kill him. That would be one of forty down.
"So I need to kill forty people to get back…" thought Lin Feng. How cruel. To become an imperial cultivation disciple, to become a really strong cultivator, he had to trample on other people's bones and corpses.
In that place, one could live or die, but they had to be a good hunter!
"We can't stay here too long. Our battle will attract more people." said Lin Feng's interlocutor. There were many people in there and weak people had to be careful not to become prey.
