Chapter 194: Immortal Overlord

Crack, crack…

Just as Mu Feng was preparing to feed Sky Splitting Tiger another Yang Soul Pill, something unexpected happened.

Sky Splitting Tiger, who had been lying motionless on the bed, suddenly started making strange noises from within his body. His faint, barely noticeable breathing gradually became heavier and rougher. Wisps of black gas slowly rose from his body—dark and cold. This wasn’t ordinary black gas but threads of bone-chilling Yin Energy. A single touch made one feel a deep, penetrating cold.

Cold and Yin cold were completely different. Anyone who had been to an old, uninhabited house in the countryside would understand this deeply.

Cold only took away the heat from a person’s body, at most making their limbs feel numb and icy. But Yin cold took away a person’s Yang Energy, their life force. Staying in a Yin cold place for too long would cause a person’s forehead to turn dark, their face to look grim, and everything to go wrong. It could even be life-threatening.

“Cold, so cold… Brother Mu Feng, what is this?”

Mu Qingzhu shivered and awoke from her quiet cultivation.

As she moved closer to get a better look at the rising black gas, Mu Feng stopped her. “Qingzhu, don’t come near. This is extremely cold and Yin Yin Energy. If you accidentally inhale it, your Yang Energy will drain away, and even your Spiritual Soul could freeze!”

Mu Feng’s expression was serious as he watched Sky Splitting Tiger lying on the bed, waiting to see what would happen next.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle…

After the Yin Energy was expelled from his body, a series of dull sounds started coming from within Sky Splitting Tiger.

Mu Qingzhu was confused and uneasy, her beautiful eyes wide with worry. But Mu Feng immediately recognized the sound—it was the sound of blood rushing and flowing faster.

His breathing became noticeable, Yin Energy was driven out, and his blood flow accelerated—what did this mean?

Mu Feng’s eyes lit up. He couldn’t help but feel excited, seeing hope that Sky Splitting Tiger might wake up.

Sure enough, after his blood flow sped up, waves of Yang Energy began to emanate from Sky Splitting Tiger’s body, growing stronger and stronger. The familiar masculine energy had returned to him. The gurgling inside his body grew louder, his blood flowed even faster, and the Yang Energy waves intensified. The Spiritual Power within him became more and more immense. His aura grew increasingly oppressive, making the air ripple as if something was about to burst forth.

“Brother Mu Feng, what’s happening?” Feeling the growing oppressive force from Sky Splitting Tiger, Mu Qingzhu became more and more anxious.

A person who had been unconscious for over a month, whom even the famous doctor Zhao Yizhen said wouldn’t live past five days and could die at any moment, suddenly emitting such terrifying noises—it was undoubtedly creepy. If Mu Feng hadn’t been there, she would have run away as far as possible.

“Power, this is Big Brother Sky Splitting Tiger’s power rising rapidly. Qingzhu, don’t be afraid!”

Mu Feng stared intently at the unconscious Sky Splitting Tiger on the bed. He could feel the surging power waves from him. Seeing such an astonishing aura and pressure erupt from him, yet he still hadn’t woken up, even Mu Feng began to feel uneasy.

Boom…

As soon as he finished speaking, Sky Splitting Tiger’s body trembled, and a fierce Spiritual Soul burst out from within. While still unconscious, he broke through from the Early Mortal Realm to the Middle Mortal Realm. The power waves inside him were at least ten times stronger than Mu Qingzhu’s, who had just broken through to the Middle Mortal Realm. Then, his power continued to climb. The Spiritual Soul hovering three feet above his head grew with the wind, absorbing every bit of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy around with a loud whoosh, breaking through to the Late Mortal Realm.

Incredible! Two levels in a row! Was it because the Yang Soul Pill contained such immense power, or…?

Feeling the overwhelming aura coming at him, this time, not just Mu Qingzhu, but even Mu Feng’s expression changed. Before he could observe and think more carefully, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

Sky Splitting Tiger’s body erupted with even more massive power waves, like a volcano. The Spiritual Soul above his head shot up into the sky. Closing his eyes and sensing with his mind, Mu Feng could feel his presence in every corner of the room.

At this moment, the motionless Sky Splitting Tiger on the bed seemed to have merged with Heaven and Earth.

Unity of Heaven and Man!

Three levels in a row—the Mortal Realm Peak state of Unity of Heaven and Man!

Mu Feng opened his eyes in shock, looking at his still unmoving older brother Sky Splitting Tiger. His amazement was beyond words.

Could a single Yang Soul Pill really be this powerful?

While shocked, Mu Feng was deeply puzzled.

Before he could think further, the air rippled, and Sky Splitting Tiger’s Spiritual Soul returned to his body. Then, his eyelids twitched slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

“Big Brother, Big Brother, are you awake?” Overjoyed, Mu Feng called out loudly.

“Hmm, Second Brother, this…”

After being unconscious for over a month, Sky Splitting Tiger finally slowly opened his eyes. His body was filled with immense power, but his mind was still a bit hazy, not fully awake yet. His memories were still stuck outside the Ethereal Temple, struggling desperately alongside Mu Feng in the biting Yin Wind. “Second Brother, watch out for the Restriction! Where is this?”

“Big Brother, don’t worry. We’ve already broken through the outer Restrictions of the Ethereal Temple. This is Mu Manor, my home.” Seeing that Sky Splitting Tiger was mentally sound and hadn’t suffered any lingering effects from the terrifying Yin Energy, Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Their efforts had paid off. After all the hardships to retrieve the Yang Soul Pill, they had finally saved Sky Splitting Tiger, their brother in hardship.

“Mu Manor?”

Sky Splitting Tiger glanced around and nodded, his consciousness gradually clearing. “Second Brother, how long was I unconscious?”

“About… a month or so.”

Mu Feng paused, then continued, “Big Brother, since you just woke up, stay here for a while longer. We brothers can spar and train together.”

“No, I need to go home, back to Jing Family Village. I have to leave now! I haven’t seen Shuang’er for so long—she must be worried sick!”

Sky Splitting Tiger shook his head and, without another word, got up to leave.

Jing Family Village?

Mu Feng’s face turned bitter. He couldn’t bear to tell Sky Splitting Tiger the truth. But some things couldn’t be hidden forever; they would come out eventually. Better to face the pain sooner rather than later. “Big Brother, I’m sorry… Jing Family Village… is gone. It was massacred and burned to ashes.”

“What?”

Sky Splitting Tiger, who had been heading for the door, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around sharply, both shocked and furious. “Second Brother, who did it? What exactly happened?”

“Mu Qingyuan!”

Mu Feng clenched his fists tightly, still gritting his teeth at the thought of that scoundrel Mu Qingyuan who had been responsible for the massacre.

Over a hundred people, young and old, from Jing Family Village—all slaughtered by him. He burned down the once peaceful little mountain village. The charming Green Mountain Villa was gone. The simple young hunter Chu San not only witnessed his mother burned to death before his eyes but also lost both hands and had his face slashed thousands of times, leaving him neither human nor ghost.

Thinking back, burying Mu Qingyuan alive was still too lenient! For his evil deeds, he should have been tied up and executed by a thousand cuts publicly for a hundred days!
