Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Toad King no longer simply used the Seven-Colored Divine Light against Qin Feng, nor did it use ordinary spells. Instead, it unleashed the Supreme Divine Technique it had reserved for dealing with Profound Immortals in the final battle.

At this moment, it couldn’t afford to hold back any techniques, willing to expose its trump cards to kill Qin Feng. Otherwise, without the Metal Heart, what use were its reserves?

Could these alone ensure victory over those Profound Immortals and the upper divine spirits of the Canglan Realm?

Even if it could defeat one or two, it wouldn’t change the situation because the Profound Immortals and upper divine spirits in the Expedition Army far outnumbered those of the Flowing Gold World, not to mention many True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and mid to lower divine spirits.

Therefore, the Toad King exerted its full strength, attacking Qin Feng even at the cost of exhausting its power, willing to suffer great losses!

As long as it could kill Qin Feng and reclaim the Metal Heart, none of this would matter anymore.

Once it merged with the Metal Heart, the accumulated power over the years would easily replenish all its losses and elevate it to an even stronger realm.

Even if Qin Feng had absorbed some of the Metal Heart’s power and laws, it wouldn’t matter.

After all, the time was too short. Qin Feng was not a Metal Divine Being; it’s impossible for him to absorb much in such a short time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have nearly exploded, nor needed to rely on it to process his gains!

Indeed, the Toad King saw through Qin Feng’s state. Being an upper peak realm divine spirit, it quickly understood Qin Feng’s plan of using its power to temper himself.

Though it understood, it had no choice but to follow Qin Feng’s intended path. Without full force, it couldn’t defeat Qin Feng and reclaim the Metal Heart.

The Toad King steeled itself, gritting its silver teeth!

Ordinary metal creatures don’t have facial expressions since their metallic faces are too rigid to change like flesh and blood creatures.

But the Toad King was different; its face changed expressions during intense emotional swings.

Even though it’s a metal creature, it shares a similarity with other shell kinds from the Void Ten Thousand Realms — a hard shell and a soft body.

Although its body is metal, it’s the rare soft gold from the Flowing Gold World.

That kind of metal is soft to the touch and very elastic.

Qin Feng confirmed this when the Toad King opened its shell to reveal its body.

Though the goddess covered herself with a few pieces of metal armor at three points, the small pieces couldn’t hide every part, let alone the towering peaks.

When Qin Feng saw the peaks trembling with the Toad King’s movements, he was quite surprised.

But after the initial shock, he quickly calmed down.

The Great Thousand Universe is full of wonders; even the Biluo Cultivation Realm has similar soft gold, so it’s normal for such a world of metal creatures to have it.

The soft gold composing the Toad King’s body was unusual, resembling the Seven-Colored Divine Light within its shell, with seven colors on its body: golden skin, silver-white teeth, azure eyes, purple hair, red nails, bones…

The bones were unknown since Qin Feng didn’t understand the internal structure of this goddess’s body!

But Qin Feng was sure there were more differences within this goddess; to find out, he would have to capture her for a deeper examination.

At this moment, the Toad King’s face changed expression before gritting its fragmented silver teeth, activating its Origin Divine Power without hesitation, immediately boosting its war power by more than half!

Remember, it was an upper peak realm divine spirit, suddenly raising its battle strength like this would overwhelm even other peak realm experts!

So soon, Qin Feng’s face changed as if… he might have overplayed it!

The goddess before him seemed to transform into a warrior goddess. Not only did the Seven-Colored Divine Light erupt, but traces of the Gold Element Principle also appeared, enhancing all divine arts, forcing Qin Feng into retreat, soon covered in wounds.

Pfft…

Qin Feng climbed from the ground, spitting a mouthful of blood.

Now he was in a sorry state, without his previous graceful and ethereal immortal demeanor.

He looked up at the Toad King with shock, amazed at her ferocity when provoked.

He was struggling to endure!

To be precise, he couldn’t endure!

An upper peak realm divine spirit’s full strength was terrifying.

Initially, Qin Feng thought to provoke her into exerting 20-30% more strength, just to his limit, to elevate his realm under the pressure.

But unexpectedly, he overstimulated her, provoking a full-force eruption, doubling her battle strength — how could he fight against that?

Remember, this was a top-level upper peak realm divine spirit. Even doubling her strength would trouble peers, let alone him.

So Qin Feng was soon severely injured.

Simultaneously, he realized he couldn’t rely on the Toad King’s pressure for a breakthrough, even if she only increased her strength by 20-30% as he had planned.

His foundation and accumulation weren’t enough for a breakthrough.

Though his foundation was much deeper than a typical Heavenly Immortal, he had many things to cultivate.

Many laws needed insights, many divine power techniques needed cultivation, honing Dao Cultivation while practicing Body Refining Techniques.

It wasn’t just multitasking but dividing power into many parts.

Previously, he only absorbed a portion of the Metal Heart’s overflowing Gold Element Origin and Power of Laws, gaining insights from the battle, touching the Profound Immortal threshold with Gold Element Principles. But achieving a breakthrough to Profound Immortal in haste was too far-fetched.

Moreover, the crazed Toad King wouldn’t allow him to ascend, even at the cost of Origin Divine Power.

Qin Feng shelved the thought of breaking through today.

He had the Metal Heart; he could continue refining anytime in leisure. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Making a rushed advancement couldn’t compare to steady progress!

Seeing the Toad King’s massive golden light attack with a sharp aura heading his way, Qin Feng’s eye twitched, abandoning all else, crashing violently backward, forcibly breaking through the void. He waved his hands, setting space barriers, attempting to block the overwhelmingly strong attack.

Though fully exerted, the golden light split the space barriers, though diminished. When it struck, Qin Feng’s crossed arms’ scale armor shattered, flesh mangled; he was sent flying back.

This time, he was knocked far away, much further than before, with the distance increasing.

The Toad King frowned, feeling something off.

Seeing Qin Feng’s escape path, its proud and icy expression shifted, shouting. Its shell flapped, sending Seven-Colored Divine Light to intercept Qin Feng heading towards the Spiritual Beasts’ camp.

Though it didn’t see the large but mediocre strength Spiritual Beasts as threats, they were a nuisance, taking time even for it, especially if they assembled into the War Formation.

Earlier, it encountered the Divine Turtle underground, so it spent considerable time dealing with a War Formation. Any more time would be challenging if enemy powerhouses investigated and Tuo Long couldn’t block them.

It rushed towards and summoned its Origin Divine Power while channeling its Seven-Colored Divine Light to stop Qin Feng’s flight and moved rapidly toward him.

But it was a step too late.

After reaching the Spiritual Beasts, Qin Feng immediately took command from the Divine Turtle and used the Demon Refining Pot to coordinate a War Formation to confront the Toad King!
