Chapter 043：True Name Awakening: Amaterasu

Lin Feng was having a very long dream. In the dream, his soul was floating outside his body, drifting in the darkness. Then no matter how it drifted, his soul remained inseparably attached to that endless darkness. 

This is a dark world, a world without any vitality. 

Lin Feng didn't know how long his soul had been wandering. Suddenly, a faint light appeared abruptly before his eyes. This was the only light in the darkness, with rich and varied colors swirling upwards, dazzling and magnificent. 

"Such a wonderful dream." 

Lin Feng approached the source of the light. The light grew brighter and brighter. He discovered that the luminous column that was spiraling upwards extended far beyond his reach. Above the swirling dazzling light, it seemed as if a splendid celestial book was quietly floating there, carrying a hint of ancient charm, as if it had existed there since ancient times. 

When Lin Feng looked up at the brilliant celestial script in the sky, the dazzling brilliance shone again. He saw that the celestial script slowly opened up, and then an endless stream of characters rushed towards Lin Feng! 

"Boom!" 

His mind suddenly exploded. Lin Feng immediately sat up on the ground. The night rain was still pouring down in a continuous patter. The sky and the earth were dimly lit, with no dazzling light shining through. There was no way to see the splendid celestial script either. 

"Whew, whew..." Lin Feng's mouth emitted a series of heavy breathing sounds. His body was still trembling slightly. Fortunately, he was still alive. 

Under the searing pain just now, Lin Feng almost thought he was going to die. That was simply too much pain for a human being to bear. 

"Will others also have to endure such pain when their spirit souls are awakening for their original destinies?" Lin Feng gazed into the pitch-black night with his deep-set eyes, revealing a hint of doubt. Although he didn't think his talent was particularly outstanding, at least he had some confidence in his willpower. Since others could endure the pain during the awakening of their spirit souls for their original destinies, he believed he could do the same. 

However, when his Soul Reincarnation ability was about to awaken, the pain that had been lingering for so long suddenly attacked him three times in succession. Each time it was more intense than the previous one. By the time it reached the final attack, it was so severe that it was almost certain to kill him. Such pain was simply unbearable for him to endure with his willpower alone. His willpower was strong enough, so he didn't collapse directly. Instead, he bled from all seven orifices. 

Perhaps everyone's spirit soul is different when it awakens according to the zodiac sign. I wonder if my spirit soul has overcome this hurdle. 

Lin Feng murmured to himself inwardly, his mind stirred. His spiritual body was released. In the next moment, Lin Feng suddenly felt something strange. He had a sense of being in darkness. Everything around him had changed. It was darkness, endless darkness. At this moment, he was no longer in the night but in a dark world. 

His senses seemed to have become more acute. Within a radius of several miles, no matter how slight the slightest movement or sound there was, he could not fail to notice it. His mind became extremely calm and kept working non-stop, much more agile than usual. It was as if he could instantly see through everything. 

What is even more terrifying is Lin Feng's eyes. They are the eyes he himself cannot see. The dark pupils, devoid of any human emotions, this is such terrifying calmness and indifference. 

"Darkness... Spirit Ability." 

Lin Feng realized that his mind was clearer than ever before. Even he himself felt the terrifying power of this martial spirit. 

And, it seems that it's not just this... 

As Lin Feng's mind was about to shift again, behind him, a vast and immense black shadow was spiraling upwards. And at the top of this dark shadow, a brilliant book was quietly suspended there. This brilliant book opened one page, as if it had always been like this. 

"Is this a spirit soul?" Lin Feng's eyes were dull. When the spirit soul behind the martial cultivator was released, the martial cultivator could clearly feel everything about the spirit soul. At this moment, the scene presented was like a dream. There was an endless dark world, with a glimmering light shining in it. There was also a suspended celestial book, quietly floating there! 

In Lin Feng's memory, there has never been a martial spirit that could be released twice. It seems that this martial spirit has two layers of existence. The first layer has no dark shadow, but it makes the surrounding world merge into darkness. The second layer has the Heavenly Book Martial Spirit. Lin Feng thought that his martial spirit's primordial awakening had failed. But now it seems that he didn't fail at all. On the contrary, it turned out to be better than he could have imagined. 

"Scripture, Book Spirit... " Lin Feng didn't even know how to address his Spirit Soul at this moment. 

In the Nine Heavens Continent, countless people are practicing martial arts. There are numerous types of martial spirit. Moreover, when one's soul spirit is awakened, it is a kind of transformation belonging to the martial spirit itself. No one can claim to know all the martial spirits. They only know that there are quite a few common martial spirits and rare ones. 

And the Book Spirit is a peculiar kind of alien spirit soul. This kind of spirit soul is not an offensive one, nor can it defend or assist in battles. However, the possessors of these Book Spirits might have some extraordinary things recorded in their spirit soul books. These recorded items are very likely to change the fate of spirit cultivators. 

"Ten'ou." Lin Feng uttered a low cry. Instantly, in those dark and icy pupils, there emerged a hint of brilliant silver-white luster, as dazzling as the sun, terrifyingly dazzling and captivating. 

This brilliant radiance was fleeting, yet Lin Feng was lost in thought. This "Tianzao" was the supernatural ability bestowed upon him when he opened the first page of the Book of Spirit Soul. Tianzao, it sees through everything. 

"From now on, I'll call you Tenryuu Spirit Soul," Lin Feng murmured softly. The spirit soul's ghostly shadow vanished. His eyes gradually returned to normal, without the coldness and ruthlessness. His eyes were still so pure, but behind the purity, there was an added depth. 

With his palm spread out, the white qi-gong was undulating erratically. The primordial qi of heaven and earth could now be freely transformed into qi-gong. Now, Lin Feng had reached the realm of Spirit Martial. 

After the Dark Spirit Soul underwent its primordial awakening, the Tenshō Spirit Soul was born, capable of being released twice. His power reached the level of the Spirit Realm. Although the other small snake Spirit Soul failed to awaken, Lin Feng was already quite satisfied. 

His Tenryaku Spirit Soul should only need to be unlocked to the first level to enable him to possess more powerful combat power. As for the second-level Book Spirit Soul, it might be an auxiliary ability that allows him to acquire extraordinary supernatural powers. Usually, it doesn't need to be released. 

"For those who have reached the rank of 'Spiritual Might Realm', they will no longer have any rivals." Lin Feng smiled confidently. He could sense how terrifying the dark martial spirit was that underwent transformation. Even at the first rank of Ten Thousand Years' Might, it was equivalent to the evolution of the dark martial spirit. Now, when facing Lin Qian again, Lin Feng was absolutely certain that he could defeat her. Even if Lin Qian was the proud daughter of Heaven, possessing the martial spirit with the combination of Ice and Fire, Lin Feng was still confident that he could defeat her. 

The rain is still pattering on the ground. The dark sky has already let out a little light, and dawn is approaching. 

Lin Feng stood up and glanced at the rain-soaked body. He couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. He never expected that he would have been sitting like this for an entire night. It was really a humiliating experience. 

Looking up and scanning the distant direction, Lin Feng's clear eyes flashed a touch of coldness. Last night, the Lord of the City's Mansion dispatched so many Spirit Martial Realm eight and nine ranks martial cultivators to assassinate him. As long as his strength was a little weaker, he would surely have no place to rest in the afterlife. 

"Lord of the City, Nalan Feng, sooner or later you will regret your actions today." 

Lin Feng lifted his feet and walked off towards the distance.
