My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 757: Devouring

Using divine sense, Qin Feng shared his vision with Chi Qi, revealing the thunderous demonic beast’s attack path.

“Do you see it?” Qin Feng transmitted.

Hearing this, Chi Qi let out an excited roar.

In its eyes, the opponent’s assault became clearly visible.

The lethal thunderbolt claws descended from above, but Chi Qi easily evaded by shifting its body.

To Chi Qi, each subsequent attack from the thunderous demonic beast posed no threat at all!

Twisting and turning, the arcs of thunder were like sharp blades, and the beast’s jaws were ripping and tearing.

After Qin Feng shared the Unseen Vision Technique with Chi Qi, the tide of battle instantly turned.

Whenever Chi Qi evaded the attacks, it would counterattack, inflicting significant damage on the thunderous demonic beast.

As a result, the beast’s size kept diminishing, while Chi Qi’s form continued to grow.

With this gradual shift, the balance of victory had completely tilted towards Chi Qi.

When Chi Qi finally tore open the core of the thunderous demonic beast, the latter let out a resentful roar and disintegrated.

Chi Qi opened its jaws wide and swiftly devoured all the dispersed lethal thunderbolts.

Its size kept expanding, even surpassing that of the thunderous demonic beast.

The crimson thunderbolts on its surface now faintly shone with a golden luster, and the surrounding space trembled with thunder, becoming hazy.

This mighty power caused Qin Feng’s heart to tremble.

Chi Qi turned its gaze towards Qin Feng and its golden-crimson dual-colored eyes reflecting his figure.

Step by step, it approached, closing the distance between them.

Just as they were less than ten zhang apart, Chi Qi’s size instantly shrank, and it then affectionately rubbed against Qin Feng’s leg.

Qin Feng secretly let out a sigh of relief, for he had feared that Chi Qi’s enhanced strength might have altered its temperament. But it seems the little creature was still the same.

He picked up Chi Qi and examined it closely. The golden thunderbolts flowed like blood through its body made of the annihilation thunderbolts.

The powerful pressure he had previously felt was emanating from these golden thunderbolts.

“Senior Xuan Yi, what is this?” Qin Feng asked.

Xuan Yi’s phantom manifestation appeared, and after a brief glance, he remarked thoughtfully, “As the primal spirit of the Annihilation Lightning, the power Chi Qi can now display is far from its true strength.”

“If my guess is correct, it must have undergone a transformation after devouring the Heavenly Tribulation.”

“At this moment, the power of the annihilation thunder you can control must be greater than before.” 

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then he tried to mobilize his spiritual sense to explore further.

As the thunder beast was swallowed up, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.

At that moment, a crimson thunderbolt with hair-thick golden light shot down, seemingly slicing open a rift in the void!

“It has such formidable power?” Qin Feng exclaimed joyfully.

At the same time, the delicate sprout on the head of Bai Su, who had been sitting on Qin Feng’s shoulder, emitted a bright green light and became several times stronger than before.

As it shared the same origin as Chi Qi, Bai Su had also benefited from the tremendous boost.

However, just as Qin Feng was reveling in this, a loud crashing sound reached his ears.

Turning his gaze, he saw the illusion surrounding Tushan shatter like a mirror shattering into pieces.

This was the barrier set up by Su Tianyue, and its collapse could only mean one thing.

Qin Feng quickly looked up to the sky, and the majestic nine-tailed figure was now in a disheveled state, covered in numerous blood stains, scorched marks, and even icy crystal shards, with three of its tails severed!

“It seems she may not be able to withstand the Dao Tribulation.”

Gong Cang sighed, and the moment the barrier collapsed, he and Liu Jianli rushed over. 

“Why do you say that?” Qin Feng asked.

“The power of the Dao Tribulation is no small matter. Without proper preparation, one can easily meet their demise. Even Commander Fu had to prepare for nearly two months in advance, and from what I know, the Heavenly Tower National Teacher also lent her a helping hand.”

“The teacher also intervened?” Qin Feng asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Gong Cang nodded. “Even so, Commander Fu could barely escape with her life.”

Qin Feng’s expression turned grave upon hearing this.

Gong Cang continued, “Tushan is now under the Heavenly Tribulation, and the patriarch of the Tushan Fox Clan still has some strength left to resist it. However, if her spiritual energy is depleted and she cannot withstand it, the Dao Tribulation will fall indiscriminately until the Tushan Fox Clan patriarch perishes.”

“In my opinion, we should retreat as soon as possible. As for the Tushan Fox Clan’s patriarch, her fate is in her own hands now.”

Although these words lacked empathy, Qin Feng could understand the reasoning.

The Confirmation of Hegemony of Heaven and Earth of a Second Realm to Transcendence Realm was not something that they, the Third Realm, could intervene in?

Even if they had the strength of the Second Rank or even Transcendence, they still could not directly intervene to assist.

Because to do so would only increase the power and difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation, and possibly drag them into it as well.

Qin Feng glanced at his two wives and struggled internally.

Earlier, he had said that if there was danger, he would flee without a second thought. But now that he was faced with this situation, he hesitated.

Su Tianyue had taken good care of him, and she had also shown concern for his two wives.

But if he stayed, what could he do? And given his wives’ personalities, they would certainly not allow him to remain, as that would only endanger more people.

Looking up, he saw that under the constraints of the Dao Tribulation, Su Tianyue was already at her wit’s end.

“We must leave now, or it will be too late,” Gong Cang reminded.

“My lord,” Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan spoke softly.

Qin Feng clenched his fist, his intention to retreat already formed.

Just then, he suddenly thought of something.

‘Teacher is a master of foresight. Before coming to the Western Domain, he should have foreseen that the Tushan Fox Clan’s patriarch would undergo the Tribulation to enter the Transcendence Realm. Why didn’t he choose to lend her a hand before leaving?”

“The Tushan Fox Clan has lived in peace and has a good relationship with the human race. During the previous disaster in the Western Domain, if they had not intervened, it would not have been possible to weather the calamity. The teacher could not have abandoned such a valuable ally.”

“Wait, could it be that the opportunity for me to advance to the Second Rank is in this very situation?”

Qin Feng suddenly realized.

To reach the Second Rank, he needed to complete the Yin-Yang Dao Principles of Candle Dragon remaining in the Divine Sea, then have Chi Qi and Bai Su devour and absorb them.

And to accomplish this in a short time, he would need to nurture the Yin-Yang Qi with the Divine Dao!

The Heavenly Tribulation in the sky above, was it not also a form of the Divine Dao Principles?!

The more Qin Feng thought about it, the more it made sense. He asked Senior Xuan Yi in the Divine Sea.

After a moment of contemplation, Xuan Yi replied, “While that may be the case, it is still too dangerous.”

“Previously, the Yin-Yang Qi could devour the Divine Dao Principles because their master had already been destroyed, so the Dao Principles were like an ownerless thing and could not exert their full power.”

“However, this Heavenly Tribulation is like an untamed beast, constantly baring its fangs.”

“If you try to absorb it, it will inevitably retaliate against you,” Xuan Yi warned.

“This, I am well aware of. I do not intend to devour it entirely, as the Tushan Fox Clan’s patriarch still needs to use it to ascend to the Transcendence Realm.”

“My idea is to consume a portion of the Tribulation Dao and weaken its power. This would both strengthen the Yin-Yang Qi and reduce the pressure on the Tushan Fox Clan’s patriarch,” Qin Feng said.

Xuan Yi pondered, “The method may be feasible, but the Tribulation Dao is still targeting that fox maiden. How will you draw it to yourself?”

“If you ascend and willingly immerse yourself in it, that would be akin to seeking death.”

This was indeed a challenge. Qin Feng’s brow furrowed, and then he suddenly had an idea. “Oh, Senior, you told me earlier that all Heavenly Tribulations are the manifestation of the will of Heaven and Earth, right?”

“That’s correct. The spiritual energies of Heaven and Earth are not endless, and Heaven and Earth have their own laws. They cannot allow the emergence of powerful beings or new Dao Principles that might upset the balance.”

“The purpose of them unleashing the Heavenly Tribulation is to eliminate those that might potentially disrupt the equilibrium,” Xuan Yi explained.

“In that case, I have a solution,” Qin Feng said with an excited expression.

“Qin Feng, do not hesitate any longer. She is barely holding on!” Gong Cang’s voice suddenly became louder.

Qin Feng snapped out of his thoughts and without a word, rushed towards the direction away from Tushan.

Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan looked at each other with a trace of doubt in their eyes. They knew that their husband was not such a person, but why did he make such a choice?

Without asking any more questions, the two of them followed closely.

In the sky, Su Tianyue caught sight of this and quickly refocused her attention.

This was all within her expectations.

Qin Feng had already done more than enough for them. There was no need to bring his two wives here and risk their lives.

Didn’t she want to let Qin Feng escape earlier when she broke the barrier?

Though she maintained a calm and indifferent facade, deep down, a sense of dejection and melancholy stirred within her.

Facing death alone was indeed a rather tragic fate.

Is this the price I have to pay for my desire to succeed? Haha, the long-standing Tushan Fox Clan seems to have met its demise at my hands,’ Su Tianyue let out a self-deprecating laugh.

But at this moment, a burst of yelling and cursing sounded, which seemed extremely abrupt in this world. 

Su Tianyue was taken aback and followed the sound, only to see Qin Feng standing atop a high mountain, pointing towards the sky and spewing profanities.

The onlookers were all dumbfounded.

Gong Cang stared blankly, “What is he trying to do?”

Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan exchanged a knowing smile, their husband was still the same person they knew.

Senior Xuan Yi rubbed his forehead and shook his head, never having imagined this to be Qin Feng’s solution.

A complex expression flashed across Su Tianyue’s eyes, and she unconsciously felt the corners of her mouth curling upwards.

“What a foolish man.”

Boom!

The void trembled violently, as if a mighty river were rushing into the sea, and a crushing pressure descended.

How could the will of the Heavens tolerate such brazen defiance from a mere mortal?

A ray of colorful phantom light split off a strand and shot towards Qin Feng!

Seeing this, Gong Cang exclaimed in alarm, “Outrageous! How dare he, with his Third Rank cultivation, challenge the Dao Tribulation? How is this different from seeking death?”

As soon as he spoke, two graceful figures from beside him resolutely charged towards the peak of the mountain.

“You are always like this, never letting me and Sister Jianli rest easy.” Cang Feilan chided.

Liu Jianli remained calm and composed, not saying much, but firmly standing by Qin Feng’s side.

Qin Feng opened his mouth, and his countless words ultimately condensed into a single sentence: “I’ve worried my wives again.”

After a brief silence, the three of them shared a laugh and looked up at the illusory Dao Tribulation.

Swoosh!

A figure quickly arrived, it was none other than the divine general Gong Cang, who had not left.

“You—” Qin Feng was slightly taken aback.

“No need for words, let’s just focus on getting through this current ordeal!” Gong Cang said.

“Alright!”

The Dao Tribulation descended, and the four of them instantly found themselves enveloped in an illusory realm.

The biting cold of an icy, snow-covered land, and raging flames that seemed capable of consuming everything. 

Even though these elements were traditionally opposing, they coexisted in this world.

Qin Feng’s expression was grave. In his previous life, he had seen the Ice and Fire Dual Realm, but only on the price list of a professional massage parlor. He had never had the chance to experience it, but now it had become a reality.

In addition to that, terrifying Demons and Ghosts were lurking all around, and what fell from the sky was not rain, but blades!

Even though he knew it was an illusion, this realm felt more real than reality itself.

The might of the Dao Principles was truly extraordinary. Qin Feng took a deep breath and said, “I have a way to deal with this strand of the Dao Tribulation, but I need you all to hold it off for a moment.”

Without hesitation, the three of them agreed. Given the current situation, they could only trust in Qin Feng, as they had no other choice.
