Chapter 986: 522 Chapter 986: 522 Since there was no hope of escape, he could only go all out, attempting to self-destruct his Golden Core to deliver a crushing blow to Lin Tianming.
Only such a desperate move could possibly drag Lin Tianming down with him.
Under these circumstances, Yang Chengfeng had made his final attempt, staking his very life on it.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming was always on guard against this, and would not easily give Yang Chengfeng the chance to trade his life for his.
Just as Yang Chengfeng was drawing in nature’s spiritual energy to fortify himself, the many fiery clouds that had been behind him unexpectedly moved again at this mont, reconverging into a ball of flas.
Subsequently, in an unguarded mont for Yang Chengfeng, the ball of flas descended, striking precisely upon his head.
In that instant, a loud explosion rang out.
...
Within that sea of fire, Yang Chengfeng instantly beca a Fire Man, and soon after, he exploded into nurous fragnts, scattering and burning on the ground, leaving not even a trace of ash behind.
As the explosion occurred, Lin Tianming’s body had already retreated a step ahead, ultimately creating a safe distance.
With the valley returning to tranquility, Lin Tianming’s solemn expression relaxed, and a thick smile crossed his face again.
He sighed with relief and imdiately rushed towards the spot where Yang Chengfeng had perished.
When he arrived at the spot where Yang Chengfeng had just stood, he saw a charred crater with flickering embers around it.
In his view, Yang Chengfeng could never have dread that the fiery clouds blocking his path would be a re smokescreen.
Had he known this, he would have been either killed by Lin Tianming or died of sheer frustration.
Looking back, Lin Tianming realized he had taken so risks, betting that Yang Chengfeng wouldn’t dare to force his way through the fiery clouds while being pursued.
If Yang Chengfeng had recklessly charged through, with his cultivation strength, he would not have been left defenseless.
Without the fiery clouds to impede him, Yang Chengfeng could have fled the valley, erging into the vast mountains beyond.
Under those circumstances, even if Lin Tianming had the absolute upper hand, catching up to and eliminating Yang Chengfeng would have taken no small effort.
If it had co to that, the final outco might have been fraught with many more uncertainties.
Fortunately, he had succeeded. Yang Chengfeng was indeed too wary of the power of the Blue Heart True Fla, wasting much ti and reluctantly enduring Lin Tianming’s attacks.
And this risky venture resulted in a montous shift, as he seized the subsequent opportunity, launching a fluid assault that didn’t allow Yang Chengfeng any respite.
In the end, driven to a dead end and wishing to self-detonate his Golden Core to take Lin Tianming down with him, under his carefully laid trap, Yang Chengfeng had no chance to do so.
Now that the great battle was over and with Yang Chengfeng’s demise, a chapter had co to a complete close.
At this mont, Lin Tianming looked over the scarred battlefield and changed valley, unable to contain the excitent in his heart any longer.
He joyfully paused for a mont, then quickly began to collect Yang Chengfeng’s bounty, including the body of the Ethereal Centipede in the distance, which he stowed away in his storage bag.
Speaking of which, the corpse of this Demon Insect was an excellent material for Artifact Refining; its carapace possessed astonishing defensive power and, combined with other precious materials, could be sufficient to forge one or two Defense Treasures.
As for the other parts, although they were sowhat less suitable for creating Magical Treasures, they were good enough to make Second Order Superior Magic Artifacts.
Having done all this, Lin Tianming surveyed the surroundings and then headed deeper into the valley.
Not long after, following a thorough exploration, Lin Tianming confird the safety of the area and stopped at a concealed location in the valley.
In his eyes, this valley, the site of the great battle, was extrely hidden; its exterior was so strange that it could block the probing of many cultivators.
Now, with most of his True Essence Mana depleted and so injuries sustained, his strength was sowhat affected, making it inadvisable to travel about outside.
More importantly, the valley was vast; he had only briefly explored it but had not been able to determine its full size.
Even in his quick survey of a small area, he had co across nurous First and Second Order Spiritual Herbs, and had even found one plant of Third Order Spiritual dicine.
If nothing unexpected occurred, the valley had existed for a long ti, nurturing plenty of Spiritual dicine, with possibly more treasures deeper within.
Such a treasure trove, aside from Yang Chengfeng, probably remained undiscovered by anyone else.
Even the freely growing Spiritual Herbs, which Yang Chengfeng had not casually picked, were probably left to grow further in anticipation of taking them with him upon departure.

However, Lin Tianming had not anticipated that a relic of a Golden Core Cave Mansion marked on a map would attract such a formidable adversary.
In hindsight, it seed like fate was playing tricks on him.
And it also proved the saying, “One’s own actions can bring about one’s downfall.”
Now that Yang Chengfeng was dead, it was natural for him to explore and collect these Heaven and Earth Treasures.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming could not help but feel sowhat helpless.
At present, he decided to cultivate here for so ti to recover his depleted mana and heal his injuries.
After all, within the Five Poison Mountain, a crisis could arise at any mont. Only when his condition was at its peak would he feel a sufficient sense of security.
Once he had sowhat recovered, he would thoroughly explore the valley and then continue on his quest to find the Dry Jade Grass.
Determined, Lin Tianming found a secluded spot and released the Purple Gold Eagle to keep watch around him.
Having done this, he took out an elixir and swallowed it, then sat down to start cultivating.
More than ten days later.
Lin Tianming opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed through the corners of his eyes.
At this mont, Lin Tianming smiled and looked within his body, noting that his True Essence Mana had recovered more than eighty percent.
As for his injuries, they were also mostly healed; the remaining ones were not severe and could almost be ignored.
Now, his strength had essentially returned to its peak.
Lin Tianming nodded in satisfaction and glanced at the valley that looked as it did initially, his anticipation no longer containable.
Having barely cald himself, he decided to postpone inspecting Yang Chengfeng’s spoils of war and resolved to first search the valley thoroughly.
After he had finished scouring the spiritual herbs in the area, he would then check Yang Chengfeng’s storage bag.
With his mind made up, Lin Tianming imdiately set out, groping his way towards the interior of the valley.
As he walked along one side of the valley, his Divine Sense expanded and contracted, covering a not insignificant area.
Additionally, with the aid of the Eye of Five Colors, even the most hidden spots could be discovered by him.
Soon, under his ticulous search, he found so First and Second Order Spiritual Herbs.
These herbs were common, and although not high-grade and not plentiful, the accumulated value was trivial to him.
But he did not disdain these lower-grade items.
In his heart, he always rembered the dire straits his family had been in decades ago, including the ti when he had just embarked on the Path of Immortality and even cultivated using Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Back then, even a bottle of Lingshen Pill was precious to his clan mbers.
Despite his exceptional talents, the resources available to him were limited; any additional cultivation elixirs had been saved and given to him by his grandfather, who was an Alchemist, and his parents.
To speak of it, those days, though decades in the past, felt as recent as yesterday whenever he thought about it.
Now, while his family’s circumstances had improved, and he himself had reached the Golden Core Stage Cultivation, qualifying him as one of the top powerhouses in the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World, that arduous period was sothing none of the family mbers who experienced it could afford to forget.
This was a point Lin Tianming kept close to his heart; so when he saw these lower-grade items, although they were not highly valuable, they did not require much effort or pose any danger, so naturally, he could not let them go to waste.
Thus, he casually collected the mature Spiritual dicine, planning to bring them back to the family to add even a slight bit to their heritage.
Under his collection efforts, he soon gathered over a hundred herbs.
Among these herbs, the most valuable was the Third Order Spiritual dicine he had first discovered.
As he finished scouring this familiar place, Lin Tianming also entered the deeper part of the valley.
