Only two words echoed in Xiao Feng's mind.
Oh no...
He still hadn't anticipated that the energy within the Azure Lord's relic would be so immense.
He should have known when that immense spiritual power swept over him that the Azure Lord's relic, having absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, had been enshrined at the top of the pagoda for an unknown period of time!
How could he have taken it away so easily?
Even if he could find something to replace the Azure Lord's relic and place it there, he still wouldn't be able to forcibly take the Azure Lord's relic away.
The moment a large amount of energy surged into his body, Xiao Feng felt as if magma was flowing into his meridians.
The immense energy, like magma threatening to incinerate him, surged wildly into Xiao Feng's body from the spot where his fingers touched the Azure Lord's Relic.
Almost instantly, countless beads of blood spurted from Xiao Feng's arm.
However, the blood droplets did not roll off Xiao Feng's body; instead, they were continuously absorbed by the Azure Lord's Relic.
In that instant, Xiao Feng even felt that the Azure Lord's relic had changed from its original azure color to red.
But in the blink of an eye, the Azure Lord's Relic returned to its original color.
But that vast and pure energy was still continuously pouring into Xiao Feng's body.
Xiao Feng felt a buzzing in his head, as if he had lost control of his body.
He could only watch helplessly as his meridians were filled, torn apart, healed, and torn apart again by the energy poured into his body...
Xiao Feng's confusion had made him almost unable to feel the pain in his body.
Xiao Feng's body, due to the intense pain, instinctively collapsed to his knees beside the altar containing the Qingzhu Relic.
Xiao Feng wanted to tear his finger off the Green Master Relic.
But his body was completely unable to move.
Xiao Feng roared desperately and struggled frantically, but to no avail.
As more and more power surged in, it soon reached the limit that Xiao Feng could withstand.
Xiao Feng felt as if his body was about to explode at any moment.
He tried to use the magic power within his body to fight back, but he couldn't control his body at all.
With his eyes bloodshot, Xiao Feng felt as if everything in front of him was shrouded in blood.
Blood was flowing uncontrollably from his nose, ears, and mouth.
In just a few seconds, Xiao Feng became a blood-soaked man, bleeding from all seven orifices and covered in blood.
However, none of the blood dripped onto the floor; it was all absorbed into the Azure Lord Relic that Xiao Feng touched with his fingers.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but Xiao Feng finally felt his soul return to his body.
But the intense pain felt as if Xiao Feng's soul was being torn apart. His vision went black, and he fainted.
In the last second before he fainted, Xiao Feng felt a chill in his heart, believing that he was doomed to die this time.
He had thought about dying.
I never expected that I would be burst apart by energy and die. It would be too shameful if word got out that I died this way.
The next second after his consciousness returned to chaos, Xiao Feng gritted his teeth and swore in his heart that he would haunt the mad monk even as a ghost.
Why didn't the mad monk explain it more clearly when he reminded him earlier?
Could it be that the mad monk already knew about the danger posed by the Azure Lord's relic?
So even though he had already prepared a relic to replace the Qingzhu relic, he did not personally sneak into the pagoda to steal the Qingzhu relic!
If the mad monk had told him beforehand, he would have taken precautions instead of being in this predicament, unable to escape or survive.
"You stinking monk, I will never let you get away with this!" Xiao Feng said weakly before collapsing completely next to the Buddhist altar.
However, Xiao Feng was unaware that not long after he fainted, the mad monk he had been muttering about easily came to his side.
Seeing only a blood-soaked, miserable figure beside the altar, the mad monk grinned wickedly.
A burst of spiritual energy struck Xiao Feng directly on the forehead.
A gentle force flowed through Xiao Feng's meridians, regulating the energy from the Azure Lord's Relic that had entered his body.
This made the energy that was originally very active in Xiao Feng's body, constantly damaging his internal organs and meridians, become more docile.
In the end, it slowly returned to Xiao Feng's own dantian.
Then, the mad monk walked to the altar where the relics of the Green Master were placed.
He completely ignored the wildly fluctuating energy of the Azure Lord Relic, grabbed Xiao Feng's hand, and tore it off from the Azure Lord Relic.
The mad monk beckoned with his finger, and the relic that Xiao Feng was holding in his other hand flew into the mad monk's hand.
The mad monk picked up the Azure Lord's relic with one hand and quickly stuffed another relic into the place where the Azure Lord's relic had been placed.
The brief dimming of the light did not attract much attention.
The mad monk looked at the Azure Lord Relic in his hand, which was emitting a faint light, without any greed in his eyes. Instead, he threw it into Xiao Feng's body.
The Azure Lord Relic merged into Xiao Feng's brow without any hindrance.
If anyone else were here, they would see a green dot of light suddenly appear between Xiao Feng's eyebrows.
The green light slowly moved down Xiao Feng's head, eventually settling on his chest, where it gradually faded away.
“I already told you, you are my destined one, and I will definitely help you obtain the Azure Lord’s Relic.”
The mad monk muttered to himself, seemingly quite pleased with the changes that had occurred after the Azure Master's relic entered Xiao Feng's body.
Just as the mad monk was about to leave with Xiao Feng, they suddenly heard a muffled clap of thunder outside.
As if struck by a sudden thought, the mad monk quickly walked to the small window next to the pagoda and looked out.
The next second, a streak of dark blue lightning flashed across the sky.
Despite the darkness of night, the mad monk still saw clouds gathering in the sky, clearly indicating that this was happening under certain circumstances.
"This little guy is actually about to break through?"
The mad monk never expected that his dangerous act would push Xiao Feng to the brink of a breakthrough.
Xiao Feng left the Ming Cult this time precisely to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Even Xiao Feng himself probably couldn't have imagined that the opportunity for his breakthrough would actually be due to the Azure Lord's Relic!
The mad monk knew that Xiao Feng could not undergo his tribulation here.
He immediately picked up Xiao Feng, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and his figure disappeared completely into the pagoda as if submerged in water.
The stupa fell silent, and the new relics replaced the original Qingzhu relics, still radiating a soft light.
It was as if no outsiders had ever stepped into the pagoda.
The mad monk then vanished into thin air with Xiao Feng.
Meanwhile, Sun Yuanjie had successfully found out where the Azure Lord's relic was located.
He originally intended to wait for Xiao Feng to be captured at the foot of the pagoda.
After some consideration, Sun Yuanjie felt that the risk was too great.
So he hid near the stupa where the relics of the Blue Lord were kept.
He planned to go over after things got chaotic at the pagoda, which would be safer that way.
But he waited all night, until dawn the next day, and nothing happened.
