Star Dragon God
Vankun controlled Huo Feng's body, walking step by step towards the Milky White Dragon Statue in the Stone Forest.
At this moment, Vankun stopped, gazing deeply at the Milky White statue for a moment. Then he raised his hand and pressed it lightly against the Milky White statue. Instantly, golden Origin Force surged from Huo Feng's hand; this was Vankun using his soul power to control his Beast Soul Essence to release Origin Force.
The golden Origin Force seeped into the interior of the Milky White Dragon Statue. After a moment, the statue began to emit a faint golden glow, and as Vankun injected more Origin Force, the golden light grew stronger, as if it were about to burst forth.
Sure enough, in an instant, the entire Stone Forest was filled with brilliant golden light. The massive Milky White Dragon Statue no longer showed its original color; it now appeared as a shimmering, translucent golden Dragon Statue.
At this point, Vankun slowly withdrew Huo Feng's hand and sat cross-legged in front of the statue. He placed his palms together, one on top of the other. After a few breaths, a golden light illuminated Huo Feng's abdomen, revealing Vankun's Beast Soul Essence.
Suddenly, the Beast Soul Essence shot out from Huo Feng's abdomen and directed itself toward Huo Feng's joined palms.
Seeing that the timing was right, Vankun quickly created a gap between his palms, and the Beast Soul Essence fell perfectly into the space between Huo Feng's hands.
As Vankun sensed that the moment was nearly perfect, he began to move his hands up and down around the Beast Soul Essence. In an instant, the Beast Soul Essence erupted with dazzling golden light that shot out in all directions.
At that moment, Vankun controlled Huo Feng's body to stand up, but his hand movements remained unchanged. Suddenly, a transformation occurred; those beams of golden light began to twist as if they had elasticity and then wrapped around various stones in the Stone Forest as if they had found their hosts.
Huo Feng’s face had turned bright red; it was evident that even Vankun found this task quite strenuous.
Vankun shouted loudly, and instantly, those beams of golden light twisted rapidly as if energized, desperately wrapping around the stones in the Stone Forest. Only after those stones were completely enveloped by the golden light did Vankun proceed to the next step.
He controlled Huo Feng's hand to inject his Beast Soul Essence into the now golden Dragon Statue.
At this moment, once inside the statue, the Beast Soul Essence seemed to come alive, wandering around before finally stopping at the statue's head. In an instant, it dimmed significantly.
As the Beast Soul Essence dimmed, the golden light within the statue and the golden beams connecting to the Beast Soul Essence from the outside all converged towards it. When those beams returned to Vankun's Beast Soul Essence, the stones in the Stone Forest turned to dust and scattered into the air.
Vankun couldn't help but shout, "Hahaha... I finally succeeded! I can finally leave this cursed place. Vankun, although I haven't fully understood your thoughts yet, I've come to terms with it. I won't harm anyone anymore. Let me experience the joys and sorrows of this world alongside this young man."
At that moment, Vankun felt a bit dizzy; it seemed that breaking this seal using Huo Feng's body had taken a toll on him. So, Vankun quickly retracted the Beast Soul Essence, holding it in Huo Feng's hand, while simultaneously releasing his control over Huo Feng's body.
At this point, Huo Feng's soul eagerly occupied his own body. However, he was taken aback when he regained control and suddenly felt darkness enveloping him, as if his body had been emptied. He staggered back a few steps and ultimately lost his balance, sitting down on the ground.
Huo Feng felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit. He shook his head vigorously, trying to suppress the emptiness and discomfort within him, and managed to ask, "Senior, what exactly did you do to me?"
Feeling nauseous, Huo Feng gagged a few times.
Hearing Huo Feng's words, Vankun replied irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am Vankun; why would I stoop to playing tricks behind your back?"
However, seeing Huo Feng's distressed expression and pale complexion reminded Vankun of how he had almost lost control earlier. If he felt unwell, how could Huo Feng not feel the same? Since he had already made up his mind, he said to Huo Feng, "Do you see that orb in your hand? Use it to start cultivating under the statue and absorb the Origin Force inside. You'll be fine soon."
Only then did Huo Feng notice the Beast Soul Essence in his hand and could indeed sense the faint presence of Origin Force within it. Feeling extremely uncomfortable, he didn't think much further and moved directly under the statue to begin his cultivation.
At that moment, Seven Star Spirit quickly whispered a reminder to Huo Feng: "Kid, this old fellow is intentionally giving you the Beast Soul Essence. You can't waste it! Quickly swallow one of your Heart Pills; you might just break through to Calamity Pulse Realm in one go. Remember to swallow that Tribulation Pill when you hit a breakthrough bottleneck!"
In fact, Vankun was also within Huo Feng's body, so he naturally heard Seven Star Spirit's words directed at Huo Feng. Seven Star Spirit knew that Vankun could hear him too; he was just providing an opportunity for Huo Feng.
At this moment, Huo Feng was too uncomfortable to think about anything else. He felt so unwell that even an ordinary magical beast could knock him over. Thus, he quickly took out a Heart Pill from his Narcissistic Ring and swallowed it before immediately starting his cultivation.
...
Unexpectedly, Huo Feng sat there for over a year and broke through to the initial stage of Oblivion Tempest. Meanwhile, Phantom Butterfly had been accompanying Huo Feng in cultivation by the statue for over a year as well; at this point, Phantom Butterfly had already reached the beginner level of Blazing Flame Calamity.
Now, Huo Feng has already turned seventeen, and unexpectedly, this past year has transformed the once fine young man into something resembling a wild person.
At this moment, Huo Feng's hair has grown long, reaching his waist, and most of his face is obscured by his long hair. However, one can still vaguely see his face, which has developed stubble. His clothes have decayed and become tattered.
Yet, Huo Feng still shows no signs of waking up. However, the speed at which the Origin Force is increasing has significantly slowed down, indicating that he is close to awakening.
A year ago, the Three Major Forces and the Free Alliance had sent their coalition forces, but those troops have mostly retreated by now.
Nevertheless, the Three Major Forces remain unwilling to give up; each has sent people to patrol the outskirts of Death Mountain. However, they do not dare to venture deep inside because there have been attempts by coalition members before that ended with them turning into a mist of blood within ten miles.
At this moment, besides the people from the Three Major Forces, there are also members of the Free Alliance present. However, they cannot openly confront the Three Major Forces yet, so they continue to let Rofu, who was previously here, conduct observations.
Usually, Rofu avoids the people from the Three Major Forces but occasionally flies up to scout from above. After such a long period of observation, Rofu has noticed that he can feel a temperature here that seems significantly lower than in other areas.
As usual, Rofu avoids the people from the Three Major Forces and uses his stealth techniques to fly into the air. He feels that the temperature outside has become similar to other places. Curiosity strikes him; he thinks Death Mountain is too strange and really wants to go in and see what is happening.
However, it must be noted that this is Death Mountain; entering it means facing death itself—there would be nothing left.
But Rofu appears to be a man with immense curiosity and a spirit of adventure. Ultimately, curiosity overcomes reason. After deciding to delve deeper, Rofu immediately begins to fly slowly into Death Mountain without hesitation.
With a mix of nervousness and excitement, Rofu cautiously flies inward. After penetrating several dozen kilometers in, he realizes that it is still not much hotter than outside; he is far from reaching his limit. Gradually gaining confidence, he increases his speed considerably.
After several breaths, Rofu starts to feel a bit overheated and dares not advance further; he does not know how far he is from the center.
However, he sees a strange sight: in the distance before him lies a volcanic crater—the entrance where Phantom Butterfly brought Huo Feng inside. Yet this crater only has sparse patches of bright yellow molten lava.
Rofu finds it very strange; logically speaking, he should be able to withstand such a volcanic crater. But why is it so hot here? Could there be something unusual inside?
At that moment, a thunderous sound suddenly erupted from the volcano's crater, and in an instant, the entire Death Mountain shook violently.
Rofu was so frightened that he quickly flew into the air, preparing to fly away at full speed when he was captivated by a beam of light.
A massive silver-white pillar of light shot out from the center of the crater, soaring into the sky. The ground stopped shaking, but Rofu could still feel the terrifying aura of Origin Force within that light pillar.
Meanwhile, Huo Feng inside had not yet awakened and remained seated. However, the light pillar was emanating from him.
"I believe this special Origin Force is your doing," Vankun said, astonished by Huo Feng's incredible aura. He did not expect that Huo Feng's initial strength in Oblivion Tempest could unleash an Origin Force close to mastery.
The Seven Star Spirit was also surprised that Huo Feng not only possessed dragon bloodline but also had such good fortune to reach the initial stage of Oblivion Tempest so quickly.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Hahaha... Of course, I have enough special qualities; it must be because he has your bloodline; otherwise, he wouldn't have such good luck."
Vankun replied wearily, "I've lived long enough to be tired of it; otherwise, I wouldn't have given him my Beast Soul Essence. But it seems he's reached his limit now; he won't be able to absorb the remaining half this time."
The Seven Star Spirit felt it too. At this moment, Huo Feng sensed it himself but was extremely unwilling. He was desperately trying to push through, but he felt that the Origin Force flowing into his meridians was nearly zero.
