Chapter 29: Fusion Of The Chaos Core And Dantian
Tang Feng looked at the first elder. He could tell that with his strength, he could crush him easily, and it got his blood boiling to be able to witness this power firsthand. He couldn't quite tell what his cultivation was, but he intended to find out.
"You did well getting all the way here, young one", he said, his tone different from how he addressed him before, "Hand over the heavenly treasure and I'll consider letting you leave with your life", he said, his eyes glowing as he released his full pressure on Tang Feng, who stood there unfazed, thanks to chaos core, but the second elder who was in the area went unconscious from the pressure.
"Su Yan...", Tang Feng already made a plan with Su Yan, as he endured the pressure longer, using it to temper his physical body. The first elder brought out the pill from where Tang Feng had hidden it, after searching his body, but Tang Feng didn't want him to take it either so he tried to take it back by sucking it back with an invisible force, wrestling with the first elder for who gets to own the pill.
"Senior, Junior was the first one to take the pill, does senior want to forcefully take it back and bully the younger generation, juniors doesn't agree", Tang Feng said, as he continued wrestling for control over the pill.
The elder looked down on Tang Feng and said nothing, as they both continued to drag the pill. The pill began showing signs of cracking after dragging it for so long.
"Now Su Yan", Tang Feng said telepathically, and discreetly, a string of lightning went up into the clouds, bringing about a dark cloud cluster that turned the day dark. The clouds began tumbling as if the heavens were enraged.
The moment the pill was destroyed, the heavens unleashed a massive lightning and thunder on both the first elder and Tang Feng, causing Tang Feng to be pushed back, crashing hard into the waterfall while the elder only retreated a few steps, swiping his hands as he deactivated his barrier. He was enraged that Tang Feng had destroyed the treasure that was going to help him breakthrough, and flew to where Tang Feng was, using the pressure in his fingers to drag Tang Feng to him until his neck was in his grasp.
Tang Feng wasn't moving even when the first elder had tightened his grip on his throat. The first elder couldn't feel a wisp of breath from him anymore as well and he couldn't unleash his rage on Tang Feng if he was already dead.
His rage blinded his reasoning that he forgot to check Tang Feng's ring for any other treasures, after all the only meaningful one had already been destroyed by Tang Feng.
So the first elder flung Tang Feng back into the waterfall cave, and left to pacify his anger, leaving Tang Feng behind at the entrance of the cave.
Sighing, he stood up and walked inside, grateful his plan worked,
"Thankfully that's worked out. If that elder had investigated further, I would have been in trouble", Tang Feng thought to himself, as he settled down to meditate, bringing out the pill from his ring and watching it float in his palm. The energy from the pill was strong and could expose Tang Feng at any moment.
"Su Yan, can you hide the pill's presence?", he asked Su Yan telepathically as he continued watching the pill.
Tang Feng gave permission and immediately, Su Yan covered the surroundings of the cave within a 1000 meter radius.
Tang Feng threw the heavenly dao pill into his mouth and bit it, giving him severe pain in his teeth, since the pill was so hard.
"As expected of a heavenly treasure, it's so hard that it cannot be broken easily", Tang Feng said in his mind.
He decided to swallow the pill and melt it in his dantian. When the pill had melted, it's hot essence flowed through his meridians, causing some discomfort.
Su Yan strengthened Tang Feng's system so that he could be able to endure the pill's essence and completely absorb it.
Tang Feng shifted in his meditative position, as he tried to ease of the pain, he did a few more hand signs and made a circle with his hands at his abdomen.
The pill's essence was still flowing, but since Su Yan had already intervened, it was less painful than it supposed to be, allowing Tang Feng to completely absorb it.
When Tang Feng had finished, he yelled as he let out the excess energy that remained inside him, his face exuding a gold glow as he levitated, his skin cracking, and falling off as a new glowing skin was revealed.
Tang Feng slowly descended as his reformation was complete. He stood on his feet, opening his eyes as he felt his body,
"My meridians have all widened and my dantian also improved. I've also broken through to the Soul Domain Realm", Tang Feng said, observing his new skin, since it's been long he felt that way.
"Su Yan, is it now possible for me to fuse my dantian and the chaos core", Tang Feng asked, the thought finally coming to him.
Tang Feng smiled, the last time he wanted to fuse them, it was at 35%,
"Do it", Tang Feng said, as he sat back down to meditate.
A digital screen popped up in front of him,
Tang Feng picked Yes immediately, his abdomen began burning, causing him immense pain, as it drew the chaos core to where it was.
Tang Feng was tossing about from the pain of the chaos core moving from his head to his abdomen.
