Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 1014: Chapter 1: Origin Injury

Southern State, located at the southernmost tip of the Heavenly Martial Continent, borders the South Sea. This state is the largest on the Heavenly Martial Continent, boasting the vastest primordial jungles.

The ancient primordial jungles cover most of the Southern State, which is also home to many mountains. In a place called the ”Taicang Mountain Range,” mountains stretch endlessly.

Lying within the forest is a young man, covered in blood, with many parts exposing white bones, clearly showing he has sustained very severe injuries.

This young man is Lin Feng.

The palm strike of the middle-aged man transformed from the Star Giant Beast triggered a space-time storm, swallowing thousands of people, many of whom met tragic deaths in the storm.

Lin Feng, however, survived by relying on his powerful physical body, though he also suffered extremely severe injuries.

Were these ordinary injuries, Lin Feng’s Undying Divine Body would self-repair. But evidently, the injuries he has suffered now are not ordinary, as he lay on the ground for three days and nights without recovery.

Cracks appeared within his origin.

The Great Tao Origin is fundamental to a cultivator, situated within the dantian.

Once the Great Tao Origin is injured, it is often extremely serious.

Ordinary Great Tao Origin injuries refer to Tao injuries and origin injuries.

Origin injuries are terrifying injuries second only to ”Tao injuries.”

The Roc King of the Demon Clan, stunning through the ages, was tortured to a fate worse than death by a Tao injury.

Fortunately, what Lin Feng faces now is not a Tao injury, but merely an origin injury. If it were a Tao injury, he might already have returned to the Netherworld.

”Howl...” A deep roar resounded from within the forest, as pairs of ghastly green eyes stared at Lin Feng lying in the woods.

Subsequently.

Giant wolves, five meters long and over three meters tall, leapt out from the forest.

Forest giant wolves can hunt down strong individuals in the Martial King Realm.

The Wolf King can even slay cultivators in the Yin Yang Realm.

Forest giant wolves are one of the most terrifying species within the primordial forest of the Southern State.

Now, dozens of forest giant wolves jumped out of the forest, all staring at Lin Feng on the ground with fierce eyes.

Howl howl...

A low roar echoed out, as a forest giant wolf growled, rushing toward Lin Feng, opening its bloody mouth to bite his head.

The rest of the forest giant wolves also charged toward Lin Feng.

These fierce beasts sensed the powerful bloodline within Lin Feng’s body.

Fierce beasts typically evolve by devouring powerful bloodlines.

The forest giant wolves are no exception.

Thus, these forest giant wolves, seemingly crazed, pounced on Lin Feng.

Just as Lin Feng was facing a life and death crisis, suddenly, within his dantian, the Devouring Martial Soul began to operate autonomously.

Bang.

A devouring black hole materialized, enveloping the dozens of forest giant wolves.

The forest giant wolves let out terrified cries, struggling desperately.

But they couldn’t break free at all.

Boom boom boom...

One by one, the forest giant wolves’ bodies exploded, and all the origin energy they transformed into was absorbed by Lin Feng’s body.

This is the Martial Soul autonomously protecting its master.

Some powerful Martial Souls can emerge on their own to protect their master’s safety when their life is threatened.

...

For ten consecutive days, Lin Feng lay motionless on the ground, with continuous appearances of fierce beasts wanting to devour him, but all were killed by Lin Feng’s Devouring Martial Soul.

Then they were devoured by the Martial Soul.

However, Lin Feng still did not awaken, and his wounds healed slowly, as the origin injury inflicted severe damage to his bloodline, making even the Undying Divine Blood hard to function now.

Thankfully, after devouring so much origin energy from fierce beasts, Lin Feng’s wounded body recovered significantly, his aura becoming much stronger than before.

Yet, the origin injury inflicted a heavy blow on Lin Feng, causing his body to fall into deep slumber after fainting, thus healing the wounded origin.

This is not a process that can be accomplished overnight.

It’s uncertain how long Lin Feng will lie there.

News of a powerful bloodlined cultivator lying unconscious in the forest spread quickly among fierce beasts.

Many powerful fierce beasts began appearing, wanting to hunt Lin Feng.

Lin Feng narrowly avoided being killed by those formidable fierce beasts several times, fortunately, his Devouring Martial Soul was powerful enough to frighten them away.

”If we invite Lord Beast Emperor to kill this kid, it will surely succeed. When Lord Beast Emperor is pleased, we might receive some origin in return. This kid’s origin is too strong; it will surely allow us to evolve.”

Several powerful Beast Kings conversed, charging into the depths of the forest.

They were going to invite a terrifying Beast Emperor residing in the depths.

...

That afternoon, footsteps approached from afar, belonging to a brother and sister gathering wild fruits from a nearby mountain village.

The sister looked about sixteen or seventeen, the brother around twelve or thirteen.

The mountain village lived by hunting; when the older men went hunting, the younger villagers would gather wild fruits or dig wild vegetables. For these mountain people, the game was often traded at markets for essentials like grain and salt, whereas wild vegetables and fruits were the most common daily food in the village. Villagers rarely ate meat; that was a luxury for them, improving their diet once every few months, when they could eat meat.

”Sister, look, there’s someone lying over there...”

The young brother pointed at Lin Feng who was lying in the distance.

”Let’s go and check quickly...” said the young girl, running over with her brother.

...

Darkness shrouded, as a terrifying aura spread.

Amid the endless darkness, a pair of cold eyes looked at the place where Lin Feng originally lay, but now, it was empty.

”Who has taken this lord’s prey?”

A cold voice echoed in the night sky, filled with a terrifying killing intent.

In the distance, several Beast Kings shivered with fear.

”Find out the whereabouts of that human cultivator. This lord must devour him.”

The voice of the Beast Emperor seemed to drift from the abyss of Hell.

”Yes...”

The Beast Kings hastily replied.

The Beast Emperor departed.

The Beast Kings hurriedly gathered fierce beasts in the forest, ordering them to search for Lin Feng’s whereabouts.

...

The mountain village was simple and rustic.

Seldom did outsiders visit, and today, when the siblings carried back a young man, it caused quite a stir in the village.

The Old Clan Patriarch was even alarmed and came to the stone house.

”The injuries are too severe; it seems unlikely he’ll survive,” said an elder proficient in medicine from the village, with a slight sigh.

The Old Clan Patriarch stepped forward, took a look, and said, ”Bring out the ancient tripod to heal him.”

”Old Clan Patriarch, that’s the Holy Artifact of our clan’s heritage, it cannot be used by non-clan members.” Many elders said.

The Old Clan Patriarch said, ”Saving a life is more important.”

The other elders eventually nodded. They were mountain people and thus very honest. Despite the ancestral rules, they decided to break them once to save a life.

A group of more than ten people carried out the ancient tripod, placing many herbs inside, and then the Old Clan Patriarch ordered it filled with water and wood placed underneath.

Soon, the wood was ignited, the temperature of the ancient tripod began to rise, and the water inside started boiling, with various herbs dissolving into the water, turning the once clear water into a pale green medicinal liquid.
