Chapter 816: Let's Run a Bit More
Zhao Feng's and Nan Gongsheng's expressions changed dramatically when they saw the blue rain that covered the sky. Those below the Void God Realm would be unable to last very long against this eroding rain, and it seemed like it was just a natural domain of the nonhuman prodigy Wei Jing.
His natural talent creates such strong rain.... Zhao Feng sighed in his heart as he looked at the nonhuman male who had scales and a pair of blue horns. He seemed to be similar to the serpent-dragon races. This nonhuman Wei Jing's bloodline might even have some similarities with the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.
Hu~ ~ Shua! Shua!
The range of the rain was very wide, and it started to approach Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.
"Let's retreat for a bit."
Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng headed in the opposite direction of the rain. At this moment, they couldn't care any less about following the Black Destruction Serpent Dragon.
The nonhuman Wei Jing's cultivation had reached the Peak-tier King level; this was the genius with the highest cultivation that Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng had seen so far.
One had to know that Zhao Feng at his peak was only at the middle stage of the Void God Realm.
On top of that, Wei Jing had a unique bloodline and status. He couldn't be measured just by his cultivation.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
The rain filled the sky behind Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng. Ice started to form on the mounds below, transforming them into holes.
The mounds were extremely tough, and they could give birth to monsters such as the Mound Kings, and yet the blue rain melted these rocks like they were tofu.
"So, that's the strength of the 9th-ranked Imperial Genius...?" Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng felt their backs go cold as they retreated.
The Great Gan Imperial Genius rankings only recorded the top five hundred, and it didn't include geniuses only within the borders of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty; it also included some of the geniuses from the superpowers nearby.
The blue rain was not only dangerous because of its eroding abilities, it also radiated a coldness that could affect its surroundings, which decreased Zhao Feng's and Nan Gongsheng's speed.
"We can't dodge it anymore!" Nan Gongsheng exclaimed as he spread his spatial domain, but Zhao Feng's expression stayed calm even though he knew they couldn't avoid it.
In terms of speed, the Peak-tier King Wei Jing was more than twice as fast as Jiu Wuji, and on top of that, the blue rain had the ability to decrease one's speed.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Drops of rain soon landed on Zhao Feng's and Nan Gongsheng's bodies.
The rain was a natural bloodline domain that could erode even through spatial domains.
"Sacred Lightning Body!"
A metallic silver-blue light glittered around Zhao Feng's body.
Boom! Boom!
Water and lightning sparkled as the rain landed on Zhao Feng, and the cold numbing sensation made his eyebrows furrow.
"My Sacred Lightning Body is resilient against Ice-elemental and Water-elemental attacks, but this rain also contains an eroding power." Zhao Feng closed his eyes as he felt the rain.
He could actually use his body to block the rain - even Void God Realms didn't have this ability.
Next to him, a layer of silver and purple glittered around Nan Gongsheng as a ripple of space absorbed and devoured the rain.
Nan Gongsheng couldn't help but be envious of Zhao Feng. After re-cultivating, Zhao Feng had such a powerful body that he could block the rain without using any True Yuan.
That wasn't just because his Sacred Lightning Body was so strong though. It was also due to the fact that Zhao Feng cultivated Water of Wind Lightning. Because the Water of Wind Lightning was the first element he used to refine his Sacred Lightning Body, he was resilient against Ice and Water attacks.
Despite that, Zhao Feng's body still felt a tinge of pain. However, Zhao Feng continued to use his body alone to block the rain.
"Hahaha.... Ninth Prince, if this continues, all your subordinates will die."
The scale-covered Wei Jing floated in the center of the rain and created a storm wherever he went.
The imperial elites were dying left and right, so they gathered together to form an array in order to block the rain.
Wei Jing purposely used the rain to slowly engulf them and put more pressure on the Ninth Prince.
Ninth Prince? No wonder he looks familiar, Zhao Feng thought.
He realized that the Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince, Zhou Lu, were 30-40% similar. However, the Ninth Prince was much stronger than the Eighth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince.
"Wei Jing, you come from the four-star Dark Capital Cult and you're ranked 9th on the Imperial Genius rankings, and yet you still ambushed me when I was fighting the Victorious Sky Snake King," the purple-and-green-robed Ninth Prince gritted his teeth and said.
The Ninth Prince's cultivation was close to the Peak-tier King level, and he had an Inheritance Sacred Weapon no weaker than Nan Gongsheng's Qiankun Sword.
"Arghh!"
Screams sounded from the group covered in rain. Everyone below the Great Origin Core Realm had died already, and this was still under the fact that Wei Jing was purposely dragging things out.
Sou! Shua!
Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng, who were covered in silver and purple light, sped away in the other direction in order to avoid getting close to Wei Jing.
"Hmph, two insects." Wei Jing scanned across them emotionlessly with his pair of dark blue eyes. However, his main focus was the Ninth Prince, so he only used the blue rain domain to stop Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng.
Zhao Feng and Nan Gongsheng suddenly felt the pressure increase dramatically.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The blue rain started to form a whirlpool that sucked them in.
"Zhao Feng, if we team up, we can break through this blue rain...!" Nan Gongsheng said deeply. Wei Jing's strength was too great, and he might be comparable to an Emperor, so Nan Gongsheng didn't want to offend him if he didn't have to.
"There's no rush." Zhao Feng remained calm as a silver-blue metallic ripple of Water of Wind Lightning flickered across the surface of his body.
Hmm? Nan Gongsheng sensed something and revealed an incredulous look.
At this moment in time, the aura from Zhao Feng's body became more condensed and stronger.
The rain landed on his body, and part of it eroded into his body. Zhao Feng occasionally circulated the Water of Wind Lightning to make the rain spread more evenly across his body.
Nan Gongsheng and Zhao Feng stayed in the rain without getting too close to Wei Jing, acting as if Nan Gongsheng's spatial domain was struggling to block the rain.
"I'm sorry for dragging you two into this," the Ninth Prince said apologetically. Although he was strong, he was ambushed by Wei Jing and severely injured. The Ninth Prince only hoped to find some other human experts, but normal elites would be killed by Wei Jing since he was ranked 9th on the Imperial Genius rankings.
"It's fine," Nan Gongsheng said. He was a spatial type Domain-level King who had the Evil God Crystal and a bunch of other substandard God Crystals. As long as he wasn't attacked by Wei Jing head-on, the rain was nothing.
In reality, if it weren't for the fact that Zhao Feng wanted to stay behind, they could have left the range of Wei Jing's domain already.
"Hmm?" The Ninth Prince sensed something unusual from Zhao Feng's and Nan Gongsheng's emotionless expressions. Although the purple-haired pair seemed to be struggling, they didn't show any fear at all.
"I'm Zhou Zihang, the Ninth Prince of the Great Gan Lord Dynasty. May I ask your names and if you're willing to work together to fight this nonhuman enemy?" the man in purple-and-green battle robes took a deep breath and asked in a deep tone. He found that the strength of these two was not low. The one in black was a Space-type Domain-level King, and the other youth was able to block the rain with his body alone.
"Nan Gongsheng," the youth in black replied simply.
"Zhao Feng." The other youth was expressionless. "Now's not the time to team up. Let's run a bit more."
Hearing that, the Ninth Prince's face twitched. The youth said it so casually... let's run a bit more?
Wait, what is he doing? The Ninth Prince sensed that something was wrong. The purple-haired youth was "bathing" in the rain, as if it hurt but was pleasurable at the same time.
I've almost completely digested the Ancient Dream Realm fruit. Zhao Feng closed his eyes.
Wei Jing's natural domain contained erosion and ice. Right now, Zhao Feng was using the Water of Wind Lightning to refine his body, and his Sacred Lightning Body was just a tiny bit away from the peak fourth level.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rain spread across Zhao Feng's body, which crackled with lightning. At this moment, Zhao Feng was using every second to circulate his Sacred Lightning Body and Wind Lightning Technique to refine the rain into his body.
That junior is way too crazy. He dares to use someone else's domain to refine his body!? The Ninth Prince took a deep breath.
Around half the time it took to make tea later:
Weng~~
The silver-blue light around Zhao Feng glowed as he became surrounded by lightning. He was like a perfected piece of metal as he gave off a heavy feeling. At this moment, Zhao Feng's every breath and action contained a strong physical force, which made even Nan Gongsheng feel pressured.
Sacred Lightning Body, peak fourth level! Zhao Feng was overjoyed as the physical force radiating from him increased dramatically.
Boom!
With just a thought, a barrier of physical force repelled the rain.
"That brat...?" Wei Jing finally felt that something was wrong.
Before, he didn't even look at Zhao Feng, who was only at the Small Origin Core Realm, properly. Even though he had a strong physical body, there were countless races that had strong bloodlines involving the physical body.
"How dare that human use my natural domain to refine his body!"
Anger appeared on Wei Jing's face. This was humiliation.
Finally, Zhao Feng's Sacred Lightning Body had broken through to the peak fourth level, and he could now fight against normal Kings with his body alone. If he broke through to the fifth level, his Sacred Lightning Body would be able to defeat almost any King.
This Friend sure is courageous. The Ninth Prince felt admiration. Any other Origin Core Realm wouldn't even have time to run away from Wei Jing, but this person used Wei Jing's natural domain to refine his body.
