Chapter 9 – Painful price!

Deep within the mountains, it was unclear how much time had passed.

Chu Feng slowly awoke.

He felt as if his entire body had fallen apart, intense pain coursing through him, with bandages wrapped all over.

"Hiss!"

Just as he regained consciousness, the movement tugged at his wounds, and Chu Feng nearly fainted again.

His cultivation level had fallen back to the Sixth Layer of the Hundred Refinements, leaving him extremely weak. Most importantly, his physical body was on the verge of breaking apart.

The power of slaughter was unparalleled.

But when fully integrated, the side effects were equally terrifying!

"The Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Demon should complement the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture, hidden within the Demon Sword, and triggered by the power of slaughter!

I feel that full integration might allow for a common origin!

It's just that my current cultivation is too weak to fully grasp even the power of the first revolution!"

Chu Feng fell into deep thought.

Fully integrating with the power of slaughter, he began to understand its mysteries.

An extreme state of slaughter.

At the same time, his cultivation increased by several layers.

The enhancement was significant, but unfortunately, his physical body and cultivation couldn't fully control it.

Based on his speculation, this might be a method attached to the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture, formidable and unpredictable. When one's cultivation is sufficient, it can unleash power far beyond the same realm at a certain cost.

There's no denying that the so-called Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Demon is incredibly terrifying.

Moreover.

The power of slaughter he drew from the Demon Sword was only at the first revolution.

After pondering, Chu Feng sensed the Demon Sword and suddenly discovered that the power of slaughter within it had almost been depleted!

"Does such power get consumed?" Chu Feng was moved.

As he carefully sensed the power of slaughter, his expression grew increasingly different.

"The Demon Sword really devours blood and qi!

This blood and qi must have been accumulated from slaying the sect master and the Lu family's experts! So, the foundation of the Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Demon requires a large amount of blood and qi? Is this blood and qi only from accumulated sources... or can it also come from one's own?"

Chu Feng murmured.

If it's the latter, then this Demon Sword is too terrifying!

"Right now, my cultivation is too weak to know. The urgent task is to recover and enhance my cultivation!"

***

After a moment, Chu Feng took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

"Young master, you're awake!" Suddenly, a surprised voice came from outside the cave.

Xiao Qian walked in with a bowl of hot water.

Her small face was dirty.

The bloodstains on her clothes had just started to scab over. It was hard to imagine how she managed during his unconsciousness and brought him here!

"Young master, you're alright, that's wonderful!" Xiao Qian said, her eyes red.

"I'm fine... Xiao Qian, don't worry! Thank you for your hard work!"

Chu Feng said, somewhat moved.

After the upheaval at the Flying Cloud Sect, he finally realized that the only person who truly cared for him in this world was this maid without any cultivation.

"It's not hard, it's not hard! The young master got so badly injured for me, Xiao Qian just did a little thing for the young master, it's not hard at all!"

Xiao Qian said stubbornly.

Chu Feng sighed softly, took out countless pills from his ring, and swallowed them in large gulps, activating the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture to frantically refine them.

It's just a pity.

Xiao Qian's physique is very special, making it difficult for her to cultivate.

Otherwise.

He could have used these pills and martial techniques to help her grow rapidly.

At this moment, Chu Feng was wealthy, with storage rings on both hands, almost emptying the Flying Cloud Sect. Pills, martial techniques, pill recipes, and even some treasures were numerous, equivalent to a small family!

He lacked nothing in terms of cultivation resources.

"Judging by the time, with Ye Qing's ambition and talent, after refining my Innate Spiritual Root and devouring the Spirit Vein, she has probably entered Destiny Academy by now!

Destiny Academy is a holy land within the Canglang region!

The cultivation resources and inheritance within it far surpass what I've obtained now. I must go to Destiny Academy as soon as possible!"

Chu Feng muttered to himself.

The Flying Cloud Sect, around the Flying Cloud Mountains, could indeed be considered a decent sect.

However.

It couldn't compare to Destiny Academy at all.

In terms of quantity, it was just a minor sect!

The resources and inheritance obtained within the academy were far beyond what the Flying Cloud Sect could offer. Even if Chu Feng obtained the entire foundation of the Flying Cloud Sect, it would be difficult to bridge the gap.

Therefore.

He must enter Destiny Academy as soon as possible!

As the pills were refined, Chu Feng felt the power within him slowly recovering.

His wounds were also gradually scabbing over under the influence of the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture, showing signs of healing.

Under the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Demon, merging with the power of slaughter in the Demon Sword, Chu Feng's body was severely injured, and he couldn't use his full strength in the short term.

"The Nine Revolutions of the Heavenly Demon, even if fully accumulated, should be used sparingly without a sufficiently strong physical body and realm to support it!"

Chu Feng smiled wryly.

In that state, he was like a mad demon.

Reckless.

Even martial techniques like the Heaven-Defying Eight Swords could be forcibly executed in full.

If it weren't for the nurturing of the Heavenly Demon Sword Scripture, an ordinary martial artist's body would have long been shattered! This was only because Chu Feng's physique was strong enough to barely sustain his survival.

A large number of pills were continuously refined.

***

Three days passed.

Chu Feng walked out of the cave, his injuries mostly healed by now.

With the pills flowing like water, his body healed, and his physical form became more refined.

He practiced in front of the cave.

Boom!

With a step forward, Chu Feng moved, one step and one palm, overlapping.

Eight-Step Collapsing Palm!

This martial technique could continuously stack power within eight steps.

As long as one's mastery of force was strong enough and the body was robust enough, it could even stack power in eight steps, pushing the power to the extreme!

It could shatter mountains!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With eight consecutive steps, Chu Feng's palm imprint suppressed.

Boom!

The force erupted, and a giant rock not far away shattered.

"The Eight-Step Collapsing Palm at the minor success stage!"

"From several meters away, the palm imprint can shatter a giant rock!"

Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction.

During these days, he hadn't stopped practicing.

The Eight-Step Collapsing Palm also reached the minor success stage, extremely exquisite. Although it couldn't achieve the exaggerated state of shattering mountains and rivers within eight steps, shattering a giant rock from several meters away was already a very powerful technique!

And at this moment, from the distant mountains and forests.

Roar!

A sky-shaking roar shook the heavens and earth.

Chu Feng's heart trembled, and he looked towards the distant mountains.

There.

Rows of ancient trees shattered, revealing a giant beast several meters in size, exuding boundless sharpness. At the same time, a snow-white sword light stirred the heavens and earth, unparalleled in sharpness.

"Is someone challenging the Beast King in the mountains here?" Chu Feng's eyes moved.

Deep within the Flying Cloud Mountains, there was a Beast King at the Qi Transformation Realm, ferocious and unmatched, causing martial artists of the same realm to flee in panic.

Who could it be?

Daring to challenge this Beast King alone!

"Young master!" Xiao Qian emerged from the cave, asking worriedly.

"Hide well, I'll go take a look!" Chu Feng instructed softly.

"But young master..." Xiao Qian began to speak with concern.

But before she could finish, Chu Feng had already disappeared into the forest, "Don't worry, with my current cultivation, I can protect myself against the Qi Transformation Realm!"
