Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

As for the Emperor Realm above the Heavenly Realm, Han Feng really wasn't confident.

Even if he were to devour all the souls collected by the Soul Palace, it probably wouldn't work, because the soul power collected by the Soul Palace is already being continuously sent to the Soul Clan to supply another peak expert's soul as he advances to the Emperor Realm.

The Void Devouring Flame took a thousand years to reach that level; even if Han Feng intercepted it, it would still be far from enough.

Unless he raises his Dou Qi realm to the nine-star Dou Sheng level, then with the blessing of the realm increase, and following the Reflection Body Technique taught to him by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, Han Feng wouldn't be without hope of breaking through to the Emperor realm.

However, reaching the level of a nine-star Dou Sheng is not something that ordinary people can do.

Both paths are incredibly difficult.

Han Feng pondered where else he could improve his soul power.

After a moment, Han Feng shook his head.

Let's find another opportunity to visit the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave and ask Zhukun for advice.

This is the most powerful senior that Han Feng has been able to contact so far.

Last time, Zhu Kun warned him not to easily set foot in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave, and that he should at least wait until he broke through to the Five-Star Dou Sheng before entering again.

Although Han Feng didn't quite understand, he knew that Zhu Kun must have his reasons for saying that.

Nothing happened that night. Han Feng cultivated until dawn. Before the purple aura arrived, he opened his eyes and flashed into the courtyard.

Lin Xian'er and Ye Qingyun also got up at this time, having developed the same habit as Han Feng.

After the three finished their morning exercise, Ye Qingyun went to prepare breakfast.

Since I had already planned it out last night, the preparations were very quick.

The three of them sat down together and quietly enjoyed their breakfast.

After they finished eating, Han Feng told the two women about the next steps.

Ye Qingyun continued to oversee the construction of the Black Corner Highway, while Lin Xian'er devoted herself to studying poison techniques.

Han Feng selected several toxins from the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's collection and passed them on to his disciple.

Given Lin Xian'er's current cultivation level, absorbing seventh-order toxins is quite appropriate.

Before breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, take it easy and wait until you break through to the Dou Zong realm, then you can progress by leaps and bounds.

After arranging things for the two women, Han Feng also prepared to begin his seclusion to refine the essence blood.

To refine the essence and blood of the demon saint, the location must be chosen carefully.

If the refining were done directly in the city, the resulting energy anomalies would likely cause great alarm to the city's inhabitants.

Under the oppressive power of the Dou Sheng's blood, it would be difficult to ignore even if one wanted to.

Therefore, it's best to stay away from ordinary people.

Find a secluded place and refine it yourself.

After thinking for a moment, Han Feng set his sights on Canaan Academy.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Ziyan has come out of seclusion yet?

Han Feng took a step forward, and in the next instant, he broke through space and arrived in the inner courtyard.

He didn't stop and flew towards the direction where Zi Yan had previously gone into seclusion. However, when he arrived at his destination, he found that the place was deserted.

"You're going back..."

Han Feng sighed. Zi Yan was going back to accept her mission as a descendant of the Dragon Queen.

Growth is destined to be a difficult path.

It's almost impossible to eat, drink, and be happy like before.

Han Feng could even imagine that Zi Yan was now honing her Dragon Emperor fighting skills on Dragon Island, no longer the lazy girl she used to be.

"This is a good location."

Han Feng looked around and found that because of the lingering dragon aura on Zi Yan's body, no magical beasts dared to approach, and there wasn't even a few small mosquitoes.

"It's perfect for going into seclusion."

Han Feng entered the cave and closed the stone door.

He cast several arrays, covering the surrounding area.

These formations can serve as defenses and for concealment.

Han Feng didn't want to be disturbed during the time he was refining the Demon Saint's blood essence.

After all the preparations were completed, Han Feng finally took out the ball of golden liquid.

A powerful energy aura was concentrated in the golden liquid. Han Feng's soul stirred slightly, and he divided it into three parts.

If Han Feng swallows all the essence and blood at once, he might not have enough time to refine it.

Therefore, we will proceed in batches.

Han Feng stared intently at the ball of essence blood in his hand.

This is a powerful tonic that no Battle Saint would refuse.

Because the source of the essence blood was a powerful being with extraordinary cultivation, approaching the level of a Dou Di, even though much of the energy in the essence blood had been depleted, the remaining portion still possessed a very high level of power, enough to provide a beneficial effect even for an eight-star Dou Sheng to refine.

No wonder the ancestors of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan dared not easily destroy such a valuable item.

This is a wonderful thing that can cause a transformation in the bloodline of the clan members, and it might even stimulate the bloodline to revert to its ancient state!

Fortunately, they didn't sabotage it, which gave Han Feng this opportunity.

Gulu!

Han Feng swallowed the golden blood in one gulp, and the fighting spirit within his body instantly surged.

What terrifying energy!

The Burning Technique operates at high speed, never daring to stop for a moment.

The Heavenly Rank Battle Qi within his body was now operating at full power, frantically absorbing the energy within the essence blood and circulating it throughout his body.

If this were the state the Demon Saint was in when he took his own essence blood, even this small ball of blood would probably cause him internal injuries.

After a long period of settling, much of the energy within the essence blood has been consumed, but it is now perfectly suited for Han Feng to refine.

Time passed slowly, and Han Feng became completely absorbed in it.

His battle qi cultivation level gradually increased as he refined the essence blood. Although the improvement seemed very small, it was still at the level of a Battle Saint.

Every improvement is crucial.

"He's already at the late stage of a two-star Dou Sheng..."

Sweat beaded on Han Feng's forehead, but a smile appeared on his lips.

The effects of the demon saint's blood essence were even better than he had imagined.

This was only the first round, yet it had already pushed his cultivation to the late stage of the Two-Star Dou Sheng realm, and it wasn't over yet.

Han Feng continued to squeeze the energy out of the essence blood, refining every strand of golden blood from head to toe, top to bottom.

After an unknown amount of time, Han Feng's fighting spirit suddenly trembled violently.

"I'm about to break through!"

Han Feng's spirits lifted, and he quickly changed his hand seals.

The flow of internal energy reversed, shifting from absorbing the power of essence and blood to circulating it throughout the body, to continuously flowing into the dantian where essence and blood are stored.

As the last wisp of golden blood burned within his body, Han Feng's cultivation officially advanced to the early stage of a three-star Dou Sheng.

Han Feng opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with divine light.

"Samsung..."

This is only the first batch of essence blood; there are two more batches waiting for him to refine.

However, Han Feng decided to slow down a bit.

Reaching the level of a three-star Dou Sheng will give him enough time to adapt.

Chapter 273 Two and a half years

Inside the cave, the array concealed the unusual phenomena following the breakthrough in cultivation level.

Han Feng sat cross-legged, calming the fighting spirit within his body.

A three-star Dou Sheng is already at the peak of the initial Dou Sheng level; the next step is to become a mid-level Dou Sheng.

The intermediate level is four to six stars, and the four-star level happens to be the highest level that allows people to go out and about under the joint regulations of the eight ancient clans.

This set of regulations is not just empty words; its enforcement is very strong. If the Soul Clan really sends a five-star Dou Sheng to operate outside, the Ancient Clan will definitely take action, without even needing Han Feng to persuade them.

The current supreme leader of the Soul Palace, Soul Extinction, has been suppressing his cultivation level at the peak of the four-star Dou Sheng realm in order to abide by this rule and has not yet broken through to the five-star realm. This is all in order to replace the high-ranking members of the clan and to carry out plans and schemes outside.

Otherwise, with his talent, breaking through to the fifth level would be no problem.

Han Feng is not a member of the eight ancient clans and is not bound by this rule, so he can take advantage of this to scheme against Hun Miesheng.

Han Feng is currently at the early stage of a three-star Dou Sheng. If he refines both groups of demon saint blood essence, he should be able to break through to a four-star Dou Sheng.

However, the time to refine these two clusters of essence blood needs to be postponed slightly, because Han Feng is already feeling a sense of loss of control due to his rapid advancement in cultivation level.

After all, it is someone else's essence and blood. Even if the Yellow Spring Demon Saint removed most of the impurities when he extracted it, it will still bear his personal mark.

For practitioners, taking one step at a time is the safest approach.

Unfortunately, Han Feng didn't have the time.

Then the only option is to use various methods to accelerate the adaptation to the surge in fighting spirit.

Han Feng pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Body Refinement.

Body tempering is the best way to adapt to battle qi; even cultivators at lower levels know this.

However, at Han Feng's level, ordinary body-refining techniques are no longer effective against him.

Heavenly-rank body-refining combat techniques are extremely rare, and Han Feng never had the chance to obtain one in his previous life.

"My physical body, under the influence of the Flame God Body, is now in no way inferior to that of top-tier magical beasts."

Even the scales of the Nine Netherworld Python were no match for Han Feng's fist.

This shows that Han Feng's physical body is very strong; even without cultivating body-refining combat techniques, he is still at a top-tier level.

However, this also raises his potential. Now, if he wants to adapt to the surge in battle qi through body tempering, he needs a body tempering battle technique that is more advanced than that of an ordinary Heavenly Rank cultivator.

A smile appeared on Han Feng's lips.

So what if you don't have a suitable Heaven-Rank Body Refining Technique?

I can just create my own.

Flames erupted from Han Feng's body, and the patterns of the Flame God Body became visible.

As a Dou Sheng, if one cannot create a Heaven-rank Dou Technique, then one is unqualified.

In his previous life, he created a low-level Heaven-rank offensive combat technique called Xuanhuang Zhentian Palm, based on the Xuanhuang Flame.

Although its power is relatively average, it is still a Heaven-rank fighting skill, and its effect in suppressing fighting spirit is excellent.

However, for Han Feng now, both the awakened Xuanhuang Flame and the power of Xuanwu have a stronger suppressive effect than the Xuanhuang Zhentian Palm.

Therefore, this Heavenly Rank combat skill can only be used as a supplementary skill, making it somewhat useless.

Having advanced to the Dou Sheng realm for the second time, Han Feng's understanding and perspective were naturally much broader than in his previous life, not to mention that he had also experienced the scenery of the Dou Di realm.

The new fighting technique will undoubtedly be more powerful than the Xuanhuang Zhentian Palm.

The power of the Flame God Body spread throughout his body. This physique has two forms. One is the basic form, which has been subtly transformed and is the power that Han Feng usually uses.

The second type is to use different flames to transform into the Flame God form. Each transformation will activate a pattern. The more patterns activated, the higher the realm will be, and the physical strength will naturally increase accordingly.

However, the Flame God Transformation is also a means of amplifying battle qi. Now Han Feng needs to develop a body-refining battle technique that can temper, compress, and consume battle qi.

Han Feng began to mentally rehearse body-refining combat techniques, applying all the knowledge he had acquired throughout his life.

Time passed slowly, and the fighting spirit within Han Feng's body was constantly being consumed and regenerated.
