Chapter 92: Remnant Beast Soul

While the two sects continued fighting around him, Long Feng secretly circulated his soul power.

A thin strand of soul power slowly extended from his body and quietly touched the surface of the spear.

The moment his soul power made contact with it, Long Feng’s expression suddenly changed.

’There’s something here.’

His soul power continued forward.

He could faintly sense another strand of soul power hidden deep inside the weapon. It was extremely weak, almost as though it had existed for countless years.

’A soul imprint?’ His eyes widened in surprise.

A powerful weapon normally wouldn’t allow just anyone to control it.

A cultivator had to leave a soul imprint within the weapon before they could truly control it.

If another soul imprint already existed inside, then it wasn’t strange that he couldn’t put it into his storage ring.

But that raised another question.

’How could there be a soul imprint inside this spear?’

The weapon had been buried beneath the lava for who knew how many years. Could its previous owner still be alive?

Long Feng’s expression became solemn.

He immediately sent more soul power into the spear. The moment his soul power reached the hidden imprint, a powerful resistance suddenly erupted.

BOOM!

Long Feng’s consciousness shook.

His soul power was blocked by something. It was like there was an extremely tough shell surrounding the inner soul imprint.

’So that’s it.’

Long Feng gritted his teeth and increased the power of his soul.

As the resistance became stronger, his forehead gradually became covered in sweat.

Outside, the argument between the two sects had already turned into a fight.

BOOM!

A fist collided with a sword.

"Get lost!"

"The spear belongs to our sect!"

"Dream on!"

Several True Spirit Realm disciples clashed while several Golden Core Realm cultivators stood nearby, watching for an opportunity. Nobody noticed Long Feng’s eyes had slowly closed.

His entire consciousness was focused inside the spear.

’Break it!’

Long Feng’s soul power surged forward, but the invisible barrier remained firm.

But he became stubborn, and since he had no intention of stopping, he played his trump card.

A terrifying pressure appeared around his soul. The aura was ancient and dominating, filled with an indescribable sense of supremacy.

The Demon Emperor’s Will.

Long Feng didn’t hesitate and used the tempered mark of the Demon Emperor’s Will and directly slammed it against the tough barrier.

BOOM!

The invisible shell trembled violently and cracks appeared on its surface.

Long Feng’s soul power immediately surged through the opening.

But what happened was something he hadn’t expected. His consciousness sucked inside. As he tried to look around him, he found himself standing in an entirely different world.

"what the hell!" He looked down at his body and realized everything was fine.

This wasn’t real but more like a illusion. His physical body wasn’t here, mere consciousness.

’A spiritual space?’

Long Feng’s eyes flickered.

He had read plenty of novels in his previous life. Soul consciousness entering strange spaces wasn’t exactly unfamiliar to him.

But experiencing it personally was an entirely different matter.

He slowly raised his hand and the hand moved. It was so close to reality that even he couldn’t identify instantly.

"Interesting."

He looked around and found terrifying golden flames covered the entire world, burned endlessly in every direction.

There was no ground or sky, only an endless sea of fire.

And then, a terrifying roar suddenly shook the entire space.

ROAR!

Long Feng’s expression changed as he looked ahead.

The flames in front of him suddenly parted and a gigantic creature emerged.

Its body was enormous, almost hundred feet tall. Its four massive limbs stepped through the flames like mountains moving across the world.

Golden fur covered its body, terrifying golden flames raged around every inch of it.

Its head resembled a gigantic lion, but its eyes were filled with an visceral that clearly wasn’t possessed by an ordinary beast.

Long Feng stared at it.

"What type of beast is this? A Golden Flame Lion?"

The gigantic beast lowered its head and stared at him. As if it didn’t like his arrival, it let out another angry roar that shook the entire space.

Feeling the terrifying pressure coming from its roar, Long Feng’s eyes narrowed.

He didn’t expect that soul imprint was belongs to a powerful beast.

And judging from its appearance, it was very similar to the enormous beast skeleton he had seen at the bottom of the lava.

Could that skeleton outside belong to this beast?

But he didn’t luxury to think about it anymore. A terrifying wave of golden flames surged toward him.

He immediately raised his hand to defend himself.

Bang!!!

The two forces collided and the entire spiritual space trembled.

Long Feng’s expression became serious.

’Strong.’

Even as a remnant consciousness, this beast was incredibly powerful. He could feel a slight pain in his soul.

The Golden Flame Lion charged forward. Its enormous claw descended. Long Feng immediately moved aside to dodge.

The claw struck the space itself, causing golden flames to explode.

On the next moment, Long Feng counterattacked. His fist slammed into the beast’s body.

BOOM!

The Golden Flame Lion barely moved. Instead, a terrifying flame erupted from its body and sent Long Feng flying backward.

Long Feng stabilized himself. His expression became ugly.

’Even in this state, I can’t defeat it.’

The beast’s strength was simply too overwhelming. It was impossible to imagine how powerful it had been when it was alive.

"A villain like me always gets what he wants."

With a smirk on his face, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body.

The entire spiritual space became silent. The golden flames stopped moving. The enormous Golden Flame Lion froze.

Behind Long Feng, an invisible pressure slowly spread. It was like an ancient demon god had descended upon this world.

The Demon Emperor’s Will.

BOOM!

The Golden Flame Lion’s enormous body was suddenly pressed downward. Its four legs trembled. Its eyes widened in disbelief.

Long Feng slowly raised his head. His eyes were cold and domineering.

"You’re only a remnant soul." His voice echoed through the entire space. "How dare you resist me?"

As the pressure intensified, the Golden Flame Lion was forced to its knees.

Roar- roar-

It struggled desperately, but couldn’t move a inch. Its roar shook the surroundings.

But the Demon Emperor’s Will was far beyond what its remnant consciousness could resist.

Long Feng walked forward step by step. The golden flames around him parted automatically. His aura became increasingly terrifying.

"You guarded this weapon for countless years. But now..."

He reached out his hand. "It’s mine."

BOOM!

The Demon Emperor’s Will completely overwhelmed the Golden Flame Lion. The enormous beast let out one final roar before its consciousness was suppressed.

Long Feng’s soul power surged forward, forming a brand new soul imprint.

At that moment, the entire spiritual space shook. The endless golden flames surged toward him. But before it could touch him, everything disappeared.

His consciousness returned to his body.

As he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in the cave previously. The enormous spear in his hand trembled slightly.

Long Feng could now clearly feel a connection with it.

"Finally." A faint smile appeared on his face.

He had successfully taken control of it. But the process had consumed a tremendous amount of soul power.

His face was slightly pale, and even his breathing had become somewhat heavier.

Long Feng looked toward the battlefield.

The fight between the Azure Heaven Sect and Vermilion Flame Sect disciples was still continuing.

BOOM!

Another powerful attack exploded.

Long Feng quietly tightened his grip around the spear. A strange feeling emerged from the depths of his heart.

Now that he had truly connected with it, he could faintly sense just how terrifying this weapon actually was.

It was far more extraordinary than he had initially imagined.

A cold, satisfied smile slowly appeared on his face.

The battle around him continued. And none of those people realized that while they were fighting over the spear, Long Feng had already become its true master.

But just then, he felt a sharp killing intent suddenly swept toward him.

His eyes narrowed. A Vermilion Flame Sect’s disciple had broken through the defense of an Azure Heaven Sect’s disciple and rushed directly toward Long Feng.

Considering how powerful he was even in Golden Core Realm experts, that was one of most strongest disciples here.

"Die!"

The man’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

His palm suddenly erupted with crimson spiritual energy, condensing into a terrifying blade-like force that slashed directly toward Long Feng’s head.

The attack contained no intention of holding back. It was a killing move.

Long Feng’s expression didn’t change. He simply raised the spear in his hand.

Clang!

The crimson blade struck the spear and a terrifying shockwave exploded.

The Golden Core expert’s expression suddenly changed. Before he could react, Long Feng’s wrist twisted. The spear moved like a streak of black lightning.

Puff!

The spear pierced directly through the man’s chest, blood sprayed into the air.

The man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the spear protruding from his chest.

"How..."

Long Feng casually pulled the spear out and the man’s body collapsed heavily onto the ground.

For a moment, the surrounding battlefield became strangely quiet.

Several disciples from both sects looked over.

"A Golden Core Realm expert... was killed in one move?"

"Wasn’t he just standing there the entire time?"

Long Feng didn’t bother answering them. His expression remained calm. But his act of pretending to be weak had already begun to fall apart.

Several Vermilion Flame Sect disciples immediately surrounded him.

"Kill him!"

"Don’t let him escape!"

"He killed Elder Brother Zhao!"

Several figures rushed toward him simultaneously. But this made Long Feng sighed inwardly.

Looks like I can’t keep pretending anymore.

His grip tightened around his spear.

He had barely learned anything about the weapon itself and didn’t know any techniques.

Compared with his sword techniques, his understanding of the spear was practically nonexistent. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t use it.

Sometimes, overwhelming strength was enough!

BOOM!

Long Feng stepped forward.

The spear in his hand suddenly swept horizontally. A terrifying golden wave erupted from the spearhead.
