Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

Chapter 437: Lin Feng's Secret

Outside the Seven Stars Realm Sea, the area had already transformed into a wondrous land.

Affected by the residual shockwaves of the Great Emperors, the Dao Principles here underwent violent reactions, producing various effects.

In some places, certain Dao Principles became entangled, forming extremely unique zones with their own independent rule systems. Any cultivator entering them would be subjected to different influences.

These bizarre lands provided sheltering grounds for the invading cultivators, allowing the allied forces to smoothly approach the fringes of the Seven Realms Sea.

Lin Feng was currently within a city, vigilantly observing the area ahead.

He could see that three distinct special zones had appeared ahead.

One special zone was filled with molten lava. Anyone attempting to enter it would find their internal magical power burning away at an extremely rapid speed, while also suffering a weakening effect against various attacks.

Another zone was a vast ocean of ice and snow, capable of freezing numerous things. People entering it would have their speed drastically reduced, ranging from tenfold to hundreds of millions of times slower, which was utterly outrageous.

The third zone was an area of spatial turbulence, with countless spatial blades swirling wildly inside. The attack damage there was sufficient to tear apart even Wuji Supreme Treasures.

And these three zones had just appeared out of thin air mere moments ago outside the entrance to the Realm Sea, covering a range spanning hundreds of millions of light-years.

"This is the power of a Great Emperor! Just the residual shockwaves of their battle can directly alter the very face of the void!" Lin Feng sighed with admiration.

Right at that moment, a Chaos Flying Ship burst out from the spatial turbulence zone, followed by hundreds of millions of Chaos Flying Ships charging out from the spatial turbulence area. These Chaos Flying Ships then surged toward the direction of the city!

Lin Feng's gaze sharpened. "The enemy attack is here!"

Lin Feng glanced at the space before him, where a screen materialized out of thin air, displaying his current Kill Count.

His eyes narrowed slightly, a thick, intense killing intent already blazing within his heart!

The reason he could grow so rapidly in such a short time was that he had awakened a special ability: he grew stronger by killing!

After slaying enemies, he could obtain Kill Count, which he could use to enhance his various abilities!

He had kept this ability extremely well-hidden. He had never deliberately gone out to slaughter enemies, always appearing perfectly normal in front of everyone, even going to great lengths to conceal it from his former good friend, Su Yuan.

In his view, the upper limit of this ability was incredibly high. It was very possible that he could rely on this ability to reach the level of the Seven Stars Sect's Patriarch.

When he heard that the Seven Stars Sect's Patriarch had become a Dao Lord and was even the Dominator of the Nine Stars Land, he became extra cautious, fearing he might attract the attention of the Seven Stars Patriarch.

Fortunately, the Seven Stars Sect truly had many monstrous geniuses. Their breakthrough speeds were just like his, as if they were cheating, and some were even faster than him. He began to suspect that these people also possessed special abilities!

Especially his former good friend, Su Yuan, who he heard had already reached the Continent-City Level and was sprinting toward the Near King-level.

This way, his subsequent improvements wouldn't appear too abrupt or out of place.

And now, with so many enemies arriving, this was an excellent opportunity to gain Kill Count!

This series of thoughts flashed through Lin Feng's mind in an instant.

Immediately after, the enemy's attack was launched!

Over a hundred million Chaos Flying Ships activated their cannons, launching an assault on City No. 33.

Countless attacks traversed space to strike, creating a spectacularly grand scene.

Above the city, tens of billions of giant cannons also simultaneously opened fire. The attacks from both sides erupted in that very instant!

Fierce attacks landed on the city's protective shield, splashing up countless ripples, but the city's defenses remained as steady as an old dog.

The other side, however, was different. A large number of Chaos Flying Ships were struck by the city's giant cannons, their ship shields instantly shattered. The ships disintegrated under the bombardment of the giant cannons, forcing vast numbers of cultivators to abandon ship and flee, taking refuge in the three special zones behind them.

Anyone caught by the giant cannons during this process faced instant annihilation.

Lin Feng felt tense for a moment, but ultimately discovered that the firepower of his own side's city cannons completely overpowered that of the enemy.

After only a short engagement, thirty percent of the enemy's Chaos Flying Ships had already been utterly routed.

Lin Feng laughed. "They didn't even consider that our Seven Stars Sect's Qiankun Patriarch is a true master artifact smith. The number of Wuji Supreme Treasures he has forged is at least in the hundreds of billions, if not trillions. To think they could attack a city relying on these Chaos Flying Ships is simply laughable!"

Thus, before long, the incoming swarm of Chaos Flying Ships could only retreat in disarray. By the time they fell back to the three major special zones, over half of the Chaos Flying Ships had been shot down, with vast numbers of cultivators fleeing in panic!

Unfortunately, the terrain modifications left by the Great Emperors were too overpowering. The giant cannons on the city walls couldn't erase these traces. They could only rely on the inherent, majestic power of the Seven Stars Realm Sea itself to slowly absorb the energy and Dao Principles contained within these zones!

At that moment, a voice came from above the city, belonging to an Elder.

"All units, attack! Pursue and annihilate the invading enemies!"

Lin Feng had long been prepared. The next moment, he shot out of the city. A flying sword materialized beneath his feet, carrying him swiftly as he charged into the lava zone.

He immediately felt the consumption rate of his internal magical power skyrocket. The cost of casting Dao arts had also increased dozens of times!

He didn't mind this at all. His magical power capacity was already over ten thousand times greater than that of others, and his recovery speed was astonishingly fast. This place was actually his home turf!

Just then, several beams of Sword Light shot toward him!

With a wave of his hand, several sword weapons materialized and orbited around him, blocking the incoming attacks.

Lin Feng locked onto the enemies and simply waved his hand, sending out several beams of Sword Light. As the Sword Light emerged, the surrounding fire energy merged into it, forming seven flaming swords that shot into the distance.

Seven ambushing enemies were instantly struck and vaporized into wisps of smoke!

"Huh, all Wuji Realm? Another seven points of Wuji Kill Count acquired!"

Lin Feng chuckled lightly. Ordinary Wuji Realm beings were nothing to him, easily annihilated with a wave of his hand!

Simultaneously, a portion of pure, refined power from the seven fallen figures inexplicably merged into his body, transforming into his cultivation base. His cultivation advanced another fraction.

This wasn't an effect of his killing ability. This was an ability bestowed upon all disciples by the Seven Stars Patriarch: slaying enemies allowed one to plunder a portion of their cultivation base and make it one's own!

"Peak of the mid-stage Wuji Realm now. Another step closer to the late-stage Wuji Realm!" Lin Feng thought to himself. "Su Yuan must be at the late-stage Wuji Realm, nearing its peak by now. I can't fall too far behind!"

He also used the seven Kill Count points he just acquired. In that instant, his comprehension of the rules of killing, the Sword Dao, wind, and the five elements rapidly increased by a small margin.

Using Kill Count to supplement his rule comprehension, combined with the benefits of being a Seven Stars Sect disciple, meant his cultivation speed would reach an unimaginable level!

He wanted to rapidly increase his strength, break through to higher realms, and see more of the scenery this world had to offer.
