Chapter 960: Stoneheart Tribe

Firmament Fairy stood on top of the pagoda; looking as high as the sun and the moon. She summoned a magnificent key made of white jade. It was two meters long and half-a-palm wide.

It looked to be the key for a divine realm but also a sword with many vein lines. This was a tenth-ranked spirit treasure, extremely valuable.

The ancient clans that have been around for one hundred thousand years might not have one. However, she still gifted it to Feiyun – a true display of generosity.

“Skysplitter Key!” Feiyun grasped it and felt a righteous power channeling into his hand.

At the same time, a wave of life force and will came into his brain and became one with him.

Such powerful spirituality, this is definitely a top tenth-ranked spirit treasure.

The one who felt the worst was none other than Eighth. He thought that he had entered the fairy’s good grace and didn’t expect this development. Why would she give this to a half-demon? They can’t reach Heaven’s Ascension so it doesn’t matter how gifted he is.

No, she must be trying to gauge my true power, that’s why she’s helping the half-demon out for a fair fight. Eighth thought that he understood her intention.

I must win in a flashy and swift manner in order to leave a good impression. He made up his mind.

“Omniscient Flame Domain!” He performed his domain and flames rushed out of his body. One looked like a ghost claw; another was a ball full of holes; the third resembled a dried tree, a hellish weapon, a dark pond…

All in all, this domain contained some hellish creations made of flames. It began attacking Feng Feiyun’s two domains and issued deafening grinding noises.

“Boom!” As the three domains intersected, beasts began roaming the hell domain.

Meanwhile, Eighth wielded Omnipotent. The blood qilin image still pulsed behind him as he unleashed a downward slash, splitting the ground between him and Feiyun.

The latter pinned the key on the ground and a light oozed out of the hole, creating a barrier around him.

Everything outside this barrier was devoured by Eighth’s sword energies. Stones and grass turned into dust; water evaporated.

“Heaven Incineration!” Eighth used a top technique from his clan, one that was only available to those with Omniscient Flame Domain.

A while ago, he could use the first three levels of this technique. After obtaining the blood legacy, he could use the fourth level now.

He held his sword with both hands while flames turned into a maelstrom around him. His sword energies combined with the maelstrom, resulting in a devastating power.

Feiyun utilized both of his spirit treasures for defensive purposes. They floated above him while he transformed his hand into a claw with crimson plumes. It spanned for three meters and was ablaze.

“Phoenix Feather!” He used a new technique that became available after reaching the fourth level.

A fiery feather shot out and destroyed Eighth’s technique then continued onward.

A phoenix was far stronger than a human cultivator while in the same realm. Just one feather alone was immensely powerful.

Eighth raised his sword in front of him. The feather struck the sword, resulting in a loud banging. The ground started shaking as well.

He was sent flying for dozens of meters. His red robe became tattered as a result.

“What the hell is this?” Both the young and old have heard about this fight and came to watch. The big shots didn’t stop it since Eighth had the upper hand.

However, they became worried after seeing this strange technique from Feiyun. Losing Eighth would be a huge blow to their clan.

A few of them glanced at each other. Four armored troops then flew into the mansion.

“Stop, how dare you cause trouble here?!” They were ordered to kill Feng Feiyun.

These were death soldiers, specifically trained to be loyal and fight to the death. They were at the fifth level and enjoyed the same privileges as an elder. They spent most of their time on the battlefield and became efficient machines for murder.

“Whoosh!” Four sabers came for Feiyun’s head but were blocked by his Buddhist domain.

“Boundless Buddhist Art.” Feiyun placed his palms together and created an egg in the shape of a human.

He then pushed forward and repelled the four men.

Eighth saw this and retreated to the side. He gazed at the battlefield and was wary of that feather technique prior.

Meanwhile, Feiyun swung the key at one of the soldiers.

“Boom!” The impact sounded like two steel mountains colliding.

The helm of the soldier actually withstood the strike. Feiyun became startled and backed off.

“Whoosh!” An energy of the death affinity nearly split him into two halves by the waist.

This didn’t make sense because given his power and the spirit treasure, it should have been enough to crush that helm and the soldier’s skull.

Was their body tougher than precious metal?

“The Gu cares a lot about Eighth, to go as far as using four highly-trained death soldiers.” Liu Suzi rubbed her chin.

The medial clans all trained secret troops in order to carry out pivotal missions. If they didn’t want to kill anyone publicly or when the seniors couldn’t get involved, they would use these men.

For example, this was a competition of the young generation. The old men couldn’t participate so they sent out these soldiers. The latter would be the ones blamed, not the seniors. This was one way to deal with powerful geniuses.

“These men are from the stoneheart tribe, their heart is made of stone now, the same with their skin. You have to get through that first.” Liu Suzi sent a telepathic message for Feiyun.

“Stoneheart tribe?” Feiyun has never heard of them before.

“There are 134 central dynasties with various tribes. The majority of stonehearts are located in the 132nd dynasty, they’re just a small branch. Their heart is as tough as a stone, this is their cultivation focus. They cultivate “stone energy” emanating from their heart, allowing them to be extremely tough. They boast the strongest defense among all the human tribes.”

“If they’re so tough, why are they just a small branch?” Feiyun spoke while using Swift Samsara to dodge the attacks.

“Because their lifespan is only thirty. Their reproductive ability is low as well, there aren’t that many of them. Most importantly, their cultivation method is too different from other humans. In the past, there was a period when humans didn’t consider them humans and wanted to kick them out. Their status is only a tiny bit higher than a half-demon.”

“Got it. I have a way to break through.” Feiyun said.

These stonehearts boast about having an unbreakable defense. However, his weapon essence could break through anything.

Of course, it wasn’t that strong right now and needed to refine more spirit treasures to become sharper.

Feiyun narrowed his eyes and decided to feed the demonic spear to it.

The weapon essence began refining and melting the spear.
