Chapter 741: Raising Fame in the Meteor River
After examining all the loot, Ye Feng wasn’t very satisfied with the results of this plundering, as the peak treasures he wanted most were only eleven in number. After all, he had killed twenty-eight people, eight of whom were level-8 warriors, yet the number of peak treasures was so scarce.
He frowned slightly, threw those eleven peak treasures into the Void Realm, used his supreme privilege to refine them, and then ignored them. It would likely take some time for the Void Realm to process these items.
Subsequently, guided by Huangfu Yuan, he arrived at the area where the Blood Demons often appeared.
Although the Meteor River had not yet entered the predicted period of chaos, it didn’t mean that the demons from other realms had stopped their activities there.
The area Huangfu Yuan led Ye Feng to was the usual haunt of the Blood Demon race. Since demons from other realms had a strong sense of territory and often clashed with each other, each race generally occupied its own territory. Only weaker races would unite to enter this Meteor Realm.
After witnessing Ye Feng’s strength, Huangfu Yuan didn’t stop him as he headed deeper into the area.
“You don’t need to wait for me. I plan to train here for a while. After that, I’ll venture into the inner regions of the Meteor River,” Ye Feng said, turning to Huangfu Yuan, who remained standing still. “Thank you. If you need help in the future, feel free to come to me.”
With that, he stepped deeper into the area.
After going deeper for a while, some Blood Demons couldn’t resist showing themselves. In just a short time, Ye Feng was surrounded by five Blood Demons at the level of level-8 warriors. A slight smile appeared on Ye Feng’s lips—this was indeed a good harvest. Five level-8 Blood Demons should be enough to raise his bloodline level to six or seven.
All five Blood Demons saw Ye Feng as their prey, their crimson tentacles reaching out quickly toward him. But in an instant, they were severed by the long sword formed from the Imperial Demon Vine, along with a level-9 combined divine technique controlled by the Sword Dao.
A level-9 divine technique based on the Wind Dao allowed Ye Feng to pass by the five Blood Demons like a gentle breeze. Soon, all five were torn to pieces by him.
He unleashed his Devouring Technique, swallowing up all the Blood Demons that had been reduced to blood. He knew well that there was no safe place here to absorb nutrients slowly, so he could only use the Devouring Technique temporarily.
The Devouring Art was indeed formidable. After devouring the five Blood Demons, it slowly transmitted a special energy into Ye Feng’s bloodline. That energy was extremely gentle, as obedient as his own. Ye Feng could clearly feel how that peculiar energy nourished his bloodline.
Having witnessed this gentle method of output from the Devouring Art, Ye Feng finally felt at ease and continued to venture deeper.
Over a month passed, and all the demons from the outer regions learned that a fierce figure had arrived at the periphery—someone with only a sixth-level strength yet almost invincible in that area. The Blood Demon clan, the first to be targeted, had nearly a hundred members slaughtered before finally withdrawing from their usual haunt. Even demons from the Divine Eye clan and the Devouring clan came to challenge him, but without exception, they were all killed by Ye Feng.
After devouring a Devouring clan warrior at the eighth-level strength, Ye Feng’s Devouring Art surged by twelve levels in just one go. He then began hunting down demons from the Devouring clan. By the end of the month, his Devouring Art had reached level 72—a truly terrifying level. Even ordinary Devouring clan warriors at the eighth level usually only reached this level with their Devouring Art.
Ye Feng’s bloodline, after devouring nearly a hundred Blood Demons, had also advanced to the eighth level. His recovery and defense capabilities were now on a completely different scale from before.
“Have you heard? There’s a sixth-level warrior named Ye Feng in the periphery who can single-handedly kill even peak eighth-level warriors. Many demons from the outer regions have already died at his hands,” the name of Ye Feng spread even within the inner regions of the Meteor River.
“He’s so fierce! When we were still sixth-level warriors, we couldn’t even enter the periphery,” exclaimed a ninth-level warrior.
“I thought the eighth-level warriors he killed were from some minor races. But that guy even defeated members of the Devouring clan, Blood Demon clan, and Divine Eye clan. This is too terrifying. His strength is probably on par with an ordinary ninth-level warrior,” said a peak ninth-level warrior in awe.
“He’s only a sixth-level warrior, and without having mastered a higher primary plane yet, he’s already this strong. If he were to master a higher primary plane and reach the seventh level, his strength would be unimaginable. There would likely be at least a hundredfold improvement, and even peak ninth-level warriors might not be able to match him,” someone speculated.
This rumor didn’t stay confined to human warriors; even in the outer regions, Ye Feng’s name had spread.
“Damn it! How could such a powerful individual suddenly appear among humans?” The patriarch of the Blood Demons was nearly driven mad. After all, their clan had suffered the heaviest losses this time. Although the Blood Demons were not easily defeated, nearly a hundred of their strongest members were reduced to their original forms and had to start training from scratch. This was undoubtedly a huge blow. “But the more talented someone is, the sweeter their blood… Come to the inner region sooner!”
“There are actually such geniuses among humans. Fortunately, his main targets are the Blood Demons and the Devourers, so our clan’s losses aren’t that severe.” The patriarch of the Divine Eyes clan remained calm, as their clan had suffered minimal losses this time. “Send over all the battle records of that human genius!”
“Gahaha… A human genius… I wonder what benefits I’d gain by devouring you?” Among the Devourers, a supremely powerful being’s mere laughter caused the space to tremble.
At that moment, Blood Sea reappeared before Ye Feng. “Over this month, your name has spread quite far.”
“Do people in the inner region already know about it?” Ye Feng was slightly surprised. He didn’t think it was a big deal.
“Of course. You caused quite a stir. The top-level eighth-grade warriors among the three major races in the outer regions are all on par with ninth-grade warriors in strength. And you managed to defeat over twenty of them.” Blood Sea said helplessly, “Now many strong warriors in the inner region have noticed you. You’d better carefully consider whether to enter.”
“Why not enter?” Ye Feng smirked. “I won’t leave until my bloodline evolves to the ninth level. How’s things on your end? Have you gotten what you need?”
“Of course I have. Otherwise, why would I be back?” Blood Sea said as he tossed a ring to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng scanned it with his spiritual power. The weapons from the outer regions were indeed strange, mostly made of bones and mineral materials. Yet their power was enough to rival that of peak treasures and ultimate treasures. Twenty-two of them contained the fluctuations of peak treasures, while two contained those of ultimate treasures.
“I wonder what level of evolution I’d achieve if I let the Void Realm devour all these things…” Ye Feng was very eager.
