Xuanyuan Potian still could not defeat Lin Feng. Unable to hold on before Lin Feng, he was sent away by the terrifying spatial fluctuations. Within that radiance, only Lin Feng remained.
At this moment, the pressure had become so terrifying that it suffocated Lin Feng. Although his body stood straight as a spear, he felt every bone in his body trembling and quivering slightly.
Finally, as the oppressive force continued to intensify, Lin Feng could no longer bear it. He felt an incomparably powerful force erupt from beneath his feet, while the oppressive force from above vanished without a trace in that instant.
"Whoosh!" The terrifying force was fully released at this moment. Lin Feng felt a powerful void force and impact force acting upon his body simultaneously, sending him hurtling into the sky. His head spun, and in that extremely brief instant, he arrived in another space. Steadying himself, he slowly stepped onto the ground, his gaze surveying this space.
Ethereal wisps of mist drifted through this space. The surrounding stone walls were completely covered, with paintings etched into them. These paintings were all portraits of figures, each one depicting a person.
"What terrifying figures." Lin Feng casually swept his gaze over these people and felt his heart tremble. Whether it was the brushwork used to depict these figures or the aura and spirit contained within the figures themselves, they were all remarkable, stirring a sense of awe in one's heart.
Raising his foot, Lin Feng walked before the portraits. The painting in front of him depicted a domineering man, gripping an enormous axe, his upper body bare, swinging the axe as if to split heaven and earth apart.
Just from the painting, Lin Feng could sense the powerful aura of battling heaven and defeating enemies. This person was definitely an Emperor!
Reaching out his hand, Lin Feng wanted to touch the painting. Instantly, a terrifying force erupted from within. He felt as if an immeasurably huge axe was swinging toward him, about to cleave him in two—extremely terrifying.
He yanked his hand back sharply, retreating several steps in succession. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. How terrifying! He had actually truly felt the giant axe cleaving at him. The spirit of this painting was far too overbearing.
Shifting his steps slightly, Lin Feng looked at another painting. This one depicted a man with a stern expression, eyes like a demon's. A single glance made it unforgettable, those eyes could make one sink into confusion, unable to extricate themselves.
Lin Feng withdrew his gaze, not daring to look too long. His divine sense power could not withstand the gaze within the painting, showing how terrifying the aura of the painting was.
"It seems these paintings must have been created by the Stone Emperor or the Yu Emperor."
Lin Feng thought to himself. Besides an Emperor, who could carve such aura into paintings, containing a true, great power within them?
Moreover, not only were the paintings from an Emperor, but the figures depicted in them were also Emperors. Otherwise, even if the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor had divine brushwork, they could not make these figures possess such a lifelike aura.
But why would the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor carve these Emperor portraits here? And on these four stone walls, there were tens of thousands of paintings, each one incredibly lifelike, meaning that the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor had personally seen all these Emperors.
Could the Eight Wastelands Realm have dozens of Martial Emperors?
Or perhaps these were not only Emperors from the Eight Wastelands Realm, but also from the Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms, or the Holy City Central Continent? Regardless, these were all Emperors that the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor had personally witnessed.
Lin Feng continued moving, pausing before each painting to sense the terrifying aura of the Emperors. Even within the paintings, it felt as if they could kill a person.
Soon, Lin Feng noticed that one stone wall was different from the others. This wall had only a few sparse paintings, but their features were blurry and indistinct, as if the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor had deliberately done so. Perhaps it was because they had never truly seen these Emperors and only carved them based on their imagination.
"Hmm?" Seeing these few paintings, Lin Feng's expression tightened. He sensed a familiar aura.
Among them, one painting depicted a figure completely shrouded in darkness, yet it evoked a true sense of fear. Even without any demonic energy being released, one could feel an overwhelming demonic rhythm—this demonic essence was far too terrifying.
"Demon Emperor!" Lin Feng thought of the statues he had seen in the Jade Emperor Palace. Among them was one statue with this same terrifying demonic rhythm, reaching through heaven and earth, despising the world. He was a demon, a demon dominating the world.
Beside the Demon Emperor, there seemed to be a peerless woman's figure. This peerless woman was depicted with a beautiful aura, a light veil covering her face, her features unclear. This also seemed deliberate, because the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor had never seen her true face. As for the aura on her body, it seemed both loveless and heartless.
"Could this be the Xi Emperor?" Lin Feng thought to himself. In the Jade Emperor Palace back then, the Xi Emperor's aura was not too distinct, but her temperament was ethereal and peerlessly beautiful, similar to what this painting depicted.
As for the faces of those few statues, they should have been imagined by the Jade Emperor himself. He merely revered several Emperors and Great Emperors, having never seen them. Moreover, the Jade Emperor himself had written that the Xi Emperor had already died for the Dao.
"Three Lives Great Emperor!" Lin Feng's eyes focused. One painting was especially conspicuous. Its aura, with just one glance, one could feel it—it was the Three Lives Demon Emperor, capable of transforming into three bodies, possessing three types of Dao essence.
Besides these three Emperors and Great Emperor, there were also several other figures painted here, all extremely formidable. Lin Feng remembered them firmly with a single glance, unable to forget. They were likely extremely powerful ancient Great Emperors.
Of course, Lin Feng did not know if Emperors and Great Emperors had a lifespan limit. Perhaps, as long as they did not fall, they could live forever, thousands or tens of thousands of years, surviving from ancient times to the present.
Perhaps some ancient Great Emperors or Emperors still existed today!
For example, Lin Feng had personally witnessed the peerless bearing of the Three Lives Demon Emperor.
"It seems the Demon Emperor, Xi Emperor, and Three Lives Great Emperor are extremely renowned figures. Not only did the Jade Emperor revere them, but the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor, though they had never seen them, still carved their blurry figures and the Dao essence on their bodies based on imagination, placing them in this hall."
Lin Feng thought to himself, looking at the massive paintings on the stone walls, guessing in his heart what kind of place this was. So many Emperor images were carved here, containing all kinds of terrifying Dao essence, involuntarily making one feel small. Yet, these powerful and terrifying Dao essences also stirred up ambitious desires. These people had achieved Martial Emperor status through their own Dao—why couldn't he do the same, stand among the ranks of Emperors, and be revered by the world?
In this Eight Wastelands Realm, the Mysterious Martial Realm was the bottom tier, the Heavenly Martial Realm was everywhere, and only at the Venerable level did one gain some status. Once one stepped into the Emperor realm, they would tower above all living beings, able to recruit their own Martial Emperor disciples.
Those lofty Emperors—Lin Feng did not know where they were active. For now, he could only guess and imagine.
Only by reaching a certain level could one come into contact with figures of that level. Just as the Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor could come into contact with other Emperors, for Lin Feng and others, it was unimaginable. They did not even know where the Emperors would be.
"In that radiance, I held out the longest before being sent here by the void force, allowing me to see these Emperors' peerless postures. This itself is a tremendous fortune. If I sense the Emperor's Dao essence here and quietly comprehend for a few days, it will surely bring great benefits to my future cultivation." Lin Feng said to himself. Mu Chen, as a Martial Emperor's personal disciple, looked at him with a somewhat intimate (qinjin) gaze. Lin Feng could feel that whether it was the Ascetic Monk, Hou Qinglin, or Mu Chen, they were all quite good to him.
Lin Feng still could not understand what connection he had with these powerful Martial Emperor personal disciples.
Also, Mu Chen had previously let people choose whether to withdraw, implying that entering this space might encounter great danger. But now, he only saw this space filled with Emperor portraits—where was the danger?
