Chapter 738: First Entry into the Meteor River

Within the Refinement Realm, Ye Feng used his three Supreme Comprehension Privileges and Supreme Bestowal Rights multiple times, and spent years filling in the species and their numbers across the three universes before finally leaving the realm.
It took several days to reach the outskirts of the Meteor River alongside Blood Sea.
To be honest, when Ye Feng stepped into the Meteor River, many eyes filled with curiosity stared at him. There were indeed Level 6 powerhouses in the Meteor River, but not more than the number of fingers on one hand. Moreover, those few were recognized by many powerful figures from other regions.
Since Ye Feng was also a Level 6 powerhouse but a newcomer, they naturally looked down on him. Ordinary Level 6 powerhouses who came here could only be instantly killed. Level 6 powerhouses possessed only a medium-tier primary plane within them, whereas Level 7 powerhouses had a higher-tier primary plane. Usually, the strength of a Level 7 powerhouse was about a hundred times that of a Level 6 powerhouse—a gap that was hard to bridge. This was why, despite the Meteor River existing for so many years, only three or four Level 6 powerhouses could survive in its outskirts.
However, everyone was wary of Blood Sea by Ye Feng’s side. He didn’t hide the strength of his cultivation at all. As a being nearly at Level 10, he was naturally revered by everyone in the outskirts of the Meteor River. Some even wondered if this peak Level 9 powerhouse had brought his disciple here for training.
Among the onlookers was also a Level 6 powerhouse—one of the few who had survived in such a harsh environment through their own strength. He appeared to be around thirty years old, with a strangely sickly pale complexion, and a long scar on his left cheek.
When Ye Feng came into his line of sight, he wrapped his arms around his long sword, his expression cold. Glancing at Blood Sea behind Ye Feng, he showed a hint of surprise but still stepped in front of Ye Feng.
“Hehe, this is going to be interesting!” The Level 7 and Level 8 powerhouses around them laughed at this sight. It seemed such scenes were not uncommon.
Ye Feng looked at the man blocking his path in confusion. Blood Sea behind him let out a cold snort and was about to act, but was stopped by Ye Feng’s hand.
Seeing Ye Feng use his left hand to stop Blood Sea, many of the onlookers realized that Ye Feng was not an ordinary person.

“The outer regions of the Meteor River are not places you should be.” The sixth-level powerhouse said coldly, showing no willingness to back down, as he stared at Ye Feng.

“Is that so?” Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly. “I don’t plan to stay in the outer regions for long. My destination is the inner areas.”

Upon hearing this, many people laughed immediately, thinking that Ye Feng was being reckless and unaware of his own limitations.

The sixth-level powerhouse who had blocked Ye Feng was also stunned. “I advise you not to do something suicidal. With your current level, you might not even survive in the outer regions. Even if there are ninth-level powerhouses protecting you in the inner areas, you still won’t be able to get out alive.”

“Don’t worry about that. I will definitely come out alive,” Ye Feng said confidently.

“You really don’t know your place.” The sixth-level powerhouse frowned. “Over the years, I’ve seen many talented sixth-level powerhouses enter the outer regions, but few have survived. If you can break through my defenses today, then you’ll qualify to enter the outer regions. If not, I advise you to go back and train hard. Come back when you’ve developed a higher-level divine power. The reason I stopped you first is simply because I don’t want to see you suffer humiliation later.”

Ye Feng was taken aback. He had thought this guy had some ulterior motive for blocking him, but it turned out he was just being kind. The idea of killing him on the spot vanished from his mind. “If that’s the case, let’s have a fight then.”

“I’m Huangfu Yuan.” The sixth-level powerhouse snapped his thumb, and his long sword emerged from its sheath.

Seeing him attack, Ye Feng raised his eyebrows. This man used the Fast Sword Technique, with his divine powers at around level 60—comparable to those of an ordinary seventh-level powerhouse. His attack angles were quite strange; in just an instant, he launched over three thousand sword strikes. Yet, all of his strikes missed vital areas, so even if they all hit, they wouldn’t pose a life-threatening danger to his opponent.

Ye Feng finally understood why this guy could survive in the outer regions of the Meteor River—his swordsmanship was indeed impressive.

However, for Ye Feng, this was child’s play. After the opponent launched his sword strikes, Ye Feng acted. He also used the Fast Sword Technique, but instead of a real sword, he used his fingers.

With his fingers slightly spread, in less than a breath’s time, he combined the Fast Sword Technique with seven types of elemental divine powers to unleash thousands of finger strikes at level 72.

This move caused many onlookers to exclaim in shock.

The 72nd-level Fusion Divine Skill was instantly recognized by everyone, but usually only those at the 8th level could merge their divine skills to such an extent. Ye Feng, who was only at the 6th level, had already achieved this—it was simply unbelievable. Even Huangfu Yuan, who had fought against Ye Feng, was stunned; he never expected Ye Feng to be so powerful.

“Do we still need to fight?” Ye Feng asked with a smile after showing off his skill.

“There’s no need. You’re stronger than me,” Huangfu Yuan said, sheathing his sword and shaking his head. His expression remained cold, as if he didn’t even know what smiling meant. “Your strength is enough to stay in the outer regions of the Meteor River. But to enter the inner regions, a 72nd-level Divine Skill is far from enough. Even the weakest warriors at the 9th level have a Divine Skill integration level of over 80. Those in the inner regions are all at that level. A genius like you would easily attract attention from outsiders and get killed.”

“I won’t be killed that easily…” Ye Feng smiled slightly. “Although my goal is the inner regions, I’m not arrogant enough to try to enter them with my current strength. I plan to train in the outer regions for a while, improve my skills a bit, and then try to enter.”

“That’s best,” Huangfu Yuan nodded, his expression improving slightly, though he still had that expressionless look.

“By the way, Brother Huangfu, do you know where there are more Blood Demons in the outer regions?” Ye Feng asked after glancing at the Sea of Blood.

“You want to challenge Blood Demons? They’re among the most troublesome demons in the outer regions,” Huangfu Yuan couldn’t help but warn him.

“I know. That’s exactly what makes it challenging,” Ye Feng nodded.

“Each type of demon does have a specific range of activity. I happen to know where Blood Demons are active. I’ll take you there directly,” Huangfu Yuan frowned slightly. “Along the way, there will be some shameless guys who specialize in robbing newcomers. With me around, things will be a bit better.”

“Then thank you,” Ye Feng nodded with a smile, thinking to himself that if anyone really tried to rob him, he wouldn’t mind killing them and taking their stuff.

“I’m going straight to the inner regions. I’ll find you when I come back,” the Sea of Blood said to Ye Feng.

This time, the Sea of Blood entered the inner regions to deliver the precious treasure Ye Feng had requested earlier. Ye Feng nodded, and without hesitation, the Sea of Blood vanished in a flash.
