After You Broke Off the Engagement, I Broke Through Twelve Realms in a Single Day! - Chapter 48:

Chapter 48: Now, Who Is the Mayfly?

“You little brat, what do you know? In the Heavenly Profound Sect, I’m still considered a youth!” Xiao Wuhen’s face instantly flushed with rage, veins bulging on his forehead. Gifted since childhood, after awakening the Earth Spirit Body, he was specially accepted as an inner disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? Although Xiao Wuhen was indeed over a hundred years old, compared to most Martial Sovereign Realm experts, he was still young, yet now he was being mocked by Li Feng. What made it worse was that Li Feng was far too young, leaving Xiao Wuhen at a loss for words, unable to retort.

The surrounding noble experts and Zhang Batian were all stunned by Li Feng’s words, gasping in shock.

“Hiss! This Li Feng is truly arrogant to the extreme, daring to show such disdain even to an inner disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect!”

“No matter how talented he is, if he can’t break out of this small world, he’ll never surpass the Martial Saint Realm and will only watch himself grow old day by day. How dare he mock Senior Brother Xiao’s age?”

“Hmph, ignorant ant, today no one can save him!” Zhang Batian sneered repeatedly. The greater the hatred between Li Feng and Xiao Wuhen, the better it was for him. Even now, he didn’t believe Li Feng could defeat Xiao Wuhen. The foundations of the Heavenly Profound Sect were beyond what a frog at the bottom of a well like him could imagine!

“You little brat, if I don’t tear you into pieces today, I, Xiao Wuhen, swear not to be human!” Xiao Wuhen gritted his teeth, swallowed a spirit-grade pill with great pain, and his injuries immediately healed. His gaze once again became condescending as he stared fiercely at Li Feng, his killing intent slashing through the air like a blade.

Before his words finished, he suddenly pressed both palms to the ground. The entire Luoxing City trembled violently. Cracks spread across the ground, deep and unfathomable, while earth-yellow spiritual energy surged like magma, condensing in the air into two colossal palms that blotted out the sky, striking toward Li Feng from both sides.

Standing high in the sky, Xiao Wuhen looked down at Li Feng and said coldly, “Today, I’ll show you the vast difference between the 9th stage Martial Sovereign Realm and the gap between a Spirit Body and a Heaven-grade Martial Vein!”

“Spirit-grade martial technique—Earth-Splitting Palm!”

The giant palms carried an overwhelming force as they descended, distorting space wherever they passed. The space of this small world seemed to crack faintly like a spider web. One reason why this small world couldn’t produce a Martial Saint was that it couldn’t withstand a Martial Saint’s power. Xiao Wuhen’s strike was already comparable to a Half-Saint!

“Senior Brother! I’m still down here, don’t kill me too!” Zhang Batian collapsed to the ground in terror, his trousers soaked. Even at his peak, he could hardly resist such might! Was Xiao Wuhen planning to kill him too?

“The difference between an inner disciple and an outer disciple is the Spirit Body and Heaven-grade Martial Vein?” Li Feng sneered, “With just this level of ability, you dare boast before me? Who told you I only have a Heaven-grade Martial Vein?”

Li Feng didn’t just have a Heaven-grade Martial Vein. Even among Spirit Bodies, he had a superior-grade Spirit Body. In terms of Spirit Body quality, he was qualified to become a true disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect! Furthermore, Li Feng had only gone through the Body Refining Tower once, while Xiao Wuhen had gone through it three times just to barely form a low-grade Spirit Body.

“Impossible! How could there be a Spirit Body in a small world like this? It’s absolutely impossible!” Xiao Wuhen and Zhang Batian’s faces changed drastically, full of disbelief, shaking their heads continuously. They refused to believe that such a monstrous talent could exist in a small world without even a Martial Saint. How could there be a Spirit Body without a second chance at body refining?

Li Feng remained unmoved, offering no explanation. His eyes flashed coldly as the Heaven and Man Mirror in his dantian began spinning rapidly, ancient and mysterious runes resembling tadpoles, Xuan Turtles, and True Dragons appearing on its surface. These runes writhed like living creatures, emanating a primeval power that caused the space of the small world to creak as if it would shatter.

“Mirror Reverses Heaven and Earth!”

With a soft shout from Li Feng, the Heaven and Man Mirror suddenly expanded, transforming into a colossal mirror spanning heaven and earth. The two Earth-Splitting Palms struck the mirror but disappeared as if sinking into a swamp.

In the next moment, ripples spread across the mirror’s surface, and two silver giant palms even more solid than before shot out from the mirror, each striking in opposite directions. The two earth-yellow giant palms Xiao Wuhen unleashed were refined by the Heaven and Man Mirror into metallic giant palms, now blasting back at Xiao Wuhen with several times greater force.

“Impossible!” Xiao Wuhen’s pupils shrank. In a panic, he hurriedly summoned an ancient bronze shield in front of him. This shield was a semi-spirit-grade treasure he had spent ten years of contribution points to exchange for. Xiao Wuhen was confident it could withstand Li Feng’s counterattack.

In an instant, the two giant palms collided with the shield, unleashing a deafening roar.

“BOOM!!!”

It was like the world reopening, heaven and earth collapsing, a thunderous sound that shook the heavens. Xiao Wuhen’s expression shifted from calm to shock, and then to terror as spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread across the shield before it exploded into countless fragments with a “bang.”

The remaining silver palm force smashed into Xiao Wuhen’s chest, blasting him dozens of kilometers away, collapsing seven or eight mountains before he crashed into a lake, stirring waves a thousand meters high. In the center of the lake, Xiao Wuhen lay disheveled, his chest sunken, coughing blood and dyeing his clothes red.

He looked up in disbelief and saw Li Feng standing before him, one foot pressing down on his shoulder.

“BOOM!!!”

Li Feng exerted force with his foot, stomping Xiao Wuhen into the bottom of the hundred-meter-deep lake, nearly killing him on the spot. When Xiao Wuhen opened his eyes again, he was dragged soaking wet to the ground, kneeling before Li Feng.

“So this is the Heavenly Profound Sect’s inner disciple?” Li Feng looked down at him with disdain, one foot on his shoulder, “You can’t even withstand a single move from me, and you dare strut around in front of me?”

“The difference between us is like a firefly before the bright moon, but the firefly is you!”

Humiliated and furious, Xiao Wuhen suddenly pulled a jade-green arrow from his chest and hurled it skyward.

“A single cloud-piercing arrow summons all Heavenly Profound Sect disciples within a thousand kilometers!” Xiao Wuhen stared venomously at Li Feng, coughing blood as he laughed madly. He could already see Li Feng being besieged and torn apart by the sect’s disciples. He would make sure to whip Li Feng’s corpse and feed his body to the dogs!

After all, he wasn’t the only inner disciple sent to this desolate small world!

The jade arrow exploded in the sky into a brilliant firework. A towering [Heavenly Profound Furnace] as bright as the sun hung in the sky, visible even in daylight.

Xiao Wuhen sneered, “You little brat, you have no idea how terrifying the Heavenly Profound Sect truly is! The status of an inner disciple isn’t something a country bumpkin like you can imagine.”

“No matter how heaven-defying you are, in the face of a giant like the Heavenly Profound Sect, you are nothing more than a mayfly!”

Li Feng smiled playfully, “Is that so? Then I’d like to see what kind of goods the Heavenly Profound Sect’s disciples are.”

In less than half a quarter of an hour, sounds of rushing air came from the sky. Dozens of streaks of light tore through the sky, landing in Luoxing City in an instant. The three leading middle-aged men all possessed peak Martial Sovereign Realm cultivation. Behind them were more than twenty disciples, the weakest among them at the 5th stage Martial Sovereign Realm.

“Junior Brother Xiao, what happened?” the red-faced leader asked sternly upon seeing the severely injured Xiao Wuhen.

Seeing his saviors, Xiao Wuhen opened his blood-stained mouth and glared at Li Feng with hatred, accusing, “Senior Brother Zhao! This scoundrel slaughtered disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect and insulted our sect! I beg you all to help me kill this thief!”

Senior Brother Zhao’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Li Feng. Seeing that Li Feng was just a young man, he couldn’t help but feel contemptuous.

“You have a lot of nerve to oppose the Heavenly Profound Sect!” He waved his hand, and the dozens of disciples immediately spread out, surrounding Li Feng.

Seeing this, Zhang Batian regained his arrogance, “Little brat, it’s not too late to kneel and beg for mercy! These are elite inner disciples—any one of them can crush you. What else can you do now?”

Li Feng glanced around and suddenly chuckled. He leisurely pulled out a crystal-clear jade token from his robe and toyed with it in his hand, teasing, “Are you sure you want to attack me? Dare to attack me?”

The jade token gleamed under the sunlight, engraved with the words “Heavenly Profound” on the front and “True Inheritor” on the back. In the center, two characters [Li Feng] floated, perfectly matching his aura—this was a True Inheritor’s token!

“This… this is impossible!” Xiao Wuhen was struck as if by lightning, rubbing his reddened eyes vigorously, but the words on the jade token remained unchanged.

“How could you be a True Inheritor of the Heavenly Profound Sect? We’ve never even seen you in the sect!”

Senior Brother Zhao’s face changed dramatically. Without time to think, he hurriedly knelt on one knee.

“I am inner disciple Zhao Yang, greetings to Senior Brother Li, True Inheritor!”

“We pay respects to the True Inheritor Senior Brother!” the disciples behind him knelt in unison, their foreheads touching the ground, not daring to breathe loudly.

In the Heavenly Profound Sect, True Inheritors held a status equivalent to that of inner elders! Offending a True Inheritor could result in the destruction of one’s cultivation or even extermination of one’s entire clan.

Zhang Batian fainted on the spot. He had a thriving family outside with many descendants. Offending a True Inheritor like Li Feng would lead to the death of all his family members!

Li Feng toyed with the jade token, smiling faintly at Xiao Wuhen, “Now tell me, who can crush whom like an ant? And who is the mayfly?”
