861: C861 Baptism

C861 Baptism

As the pillars of light descended, the Spiritual Energy contained within each pillar of light was extremely astonishing. The further up the Heaven Stairway, the thicker the Spiritual Energy pillar of light was.

"I've broken through."

A moment later, a surprised sound was heard. Some of the Martial Cultivator who were already on the verge of breaking through, after receiving the Spiritual Energy Empowerment, instantly broke through to a higher level.

"Boom! Boom!"

Voices rang out from the surroundings. Quite a few people had broken through due to the Spiritual Energy Empowerment. As the powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations spread out, it was extremely astonishing.

And within the Lock Cloud City, the eyes of all the Martial Cultivator who were participating in the Hundred Meridians Martial Arts Competitions, were filled with envy. After receiving the Spiritual Energy Empowerment, the cultivation of these people would be greatly increased. The gap between them would also become wider and wider. At the very least, it would be impossible to catch up to them within a short period of time.

"Eh, that Gu Feng, why doesn't he seem to be moving?"

Everyone moved up the Heaven Stairway. Whether it was Shui Qianrou, Fenng Yuvrann, or Murong Lei, all of them had a light pillar of Spiritual Energy on their bodies. The rippling Spiritual Energy was like a substance as it flowed around his body. This was the benefit that the people at the top had obtained. Compared to the people below, the Spiritual Energy was many times denser.

However, when their gazes landed on Gu Feng, who was at the very top, their eyes could not help but freeze. Unlike the others, there was no Spiritual Energy light pillar on Gu Feng's body, nor was there any movement.

It was fortunate that not only these young geniuses, but even the various Holy Envoys from the Heaven Profound Domain couldn't help but frown.

At the top of the Heaven Stairway, Gu Feng looked at the sky with a puzzled expression. Since he was already confirmed to be the champion, he should naturally be rewarded as well. Why had he not appeared yet?

However, just as Gu Feng was puzzled, the sky slightly shook and a gigantic sun appeared in the sky. The sun was not blazing hot, but it emitted an extremely strong Spiritual Energy fluctuation. The spiritual energy emitted by any of these bright suns was even stronger and richer than the light pillars on Murong Lei's body.

Gu Feng looked at the ninth wheel of the Radiant Sun. His sister's eyes flashed with a hint of passion. She grinned and said, "Is this my reward?"

He had the Life And Death Heaven Stealing Arts, coupled with the many secrets in his body, he needed spirit energy. Therefore, this spirit energy seemed to be huge, and even if a Martial Cultivator at the peak of the Soul Forging were to come over, his body would probably be blown apart. However, to Gu Feng, he could completely digest it.

Just as Gu Feng was pondering, one of the suns was about to explode, and the spirit energy that filled the sky turned into Light Rain that covered the sky and fell down onto the Heaven Stairway.

An easy-going aura instantly rippled between the heaven and earth. Even the Martial Cultivator who were receiving the Spiritual Energy Empowerment felt the thick aura. They couldn't help but look up with envious eyes.

Compared to Gu Feng's reward, they were nothing.

"Damn, it's such a waste for so many people to fall down so casually." Gu Feng let out a low cry, and the Life And Death Heaven Stealing Arts in his body began to circulate. And without the suppression from the pressure, the speed at which the Life And Death Heaven Stealing Arts circulated had reached a terrifying level.

Gu Feng sat cross-legged and formed a giant whirlpool around him. The surrounding Light Rain that were sprinkling spiritual energy all around him were directly pulled toward Gu Feng.

Gu Feng was like a glutton that was devouring, impolitely absorbing all of the Spiritual Energy. The Light Rain continued to fall and Gu Feng continued to absorb.

Everyone looked at Gu Feng as if they were looking at a monster. It was really hard for them to imagine how Gu Feng absorbed such a majestic and terrifying Spiritual Energy. His body was like a bottomless pit.

What they didn't know was that after Gu Feng absorbed that spirit energy, he only absorbed a small portion of it into his own spirit energy, and more spirit energy was used to temper his body. After all, the Life and Death Qi was the most essential power in this world. It was extremely tyrannical and Gu Feng had already seen its terror. Although the Life and Death Qi was not like his spirit energy, which could be used as easily as one's arm, the terrifying and tyrannical power would make everyone who saw him tremble in fear.

The Life And Death Heaven Stealing Arts, the first cycle of the Life and Death Pill, would only be able to enter the second cycle once the Life and Death Pill was completely formed. Gu Feng was in no hurry to break through as he had just broken through. Even though relying on the power of the Spiritual Energy Empowerment to break through would not make his foundation unstable, that was definitely not what he was hoping for. He hoped even more for a breakthrough, one step at a time.

The first sun formed Light Rain was completely absorbed, followed by the second, and this time, it was completely absorbed by Gu Feng. The endless spiritual energy entered Gu Feng's body and once again disappeared.

As time passed, the Spiritual Energy light pillars on everyone's bodies disappeared without a trace. The comfortable feeling of rapidly increasing their Spiritual Energy also disappeared. However, no one left. They stood still and looked at Gu Feng. The droplets of Light Rain made them salivate. They could feel that the energy contained within each drop of the Light Rain was extremely shocking. If they could absorb it, perhaps their cultivation would be even more refined.

However, this wish of his was not easy to fulfill. The exploding spirit energy from the sun, which had scattered the Light Rain down, was completely absorbed by Gu Feng, not even a little bit of it was wasted.

They looked at Gu Feng with jealousy. However, they were clear that Gu Feng was able to enjoy such a shocking spiritual energy baptism due to his strong willpower and ability.

The Spiritual Energy Shining Sun exploded one by one and the Spiritual Energy within it was continuously absorbed by Gu Feng. Gu Feng absorbed all of the spiritual energy that was contained within the nine full rounds of the Shining Suns, which made everyone go crazy for.

Everyone looked at him with expressions of disbelief. They truly could not imagine how a Martial Cultivator at the sixth level of Soul Forging could possibly absorb all such boundless energy.

"The baptism is over, you guys can leave as well."

When the illusory old man saw that the last drop of Light Rain had completely disappeared, his indifferent and dignified voice sounded out. Then, he casually waved his hand and with a flash of light, the space around him shattered. Rays of light were being emitted from the sky and landed on everyone's bodies. Their figures gradually turned faint before they disappeared from the top of the Heaven Stairway. In the center of the Lock Cloud City, the scene in front of the countless of people had also completely disappeared. Soon after, more than thirty figures appeared in the sky. It was Gu Feng and the others.2
