Too powerful. They could hardly imagine that Yuan Fei possessed such terrifying might. Just moments ago, they felt as if the heavens were about to collapse, especially in that final scene where behind Yuan Fei appeared a mountain-like phantom of a demonic ape, wielding an enormous staff that swung toward the grand momentum of heaven and earth.
It was even more ferocious than when Lin Feng had stepped onto the Nine Heavens that day. But that was to be expected—Yuan Fei was someone who could easily pursue and kill Xuanyuan Potian. His old man was the Great Ape Emperor; it would be strange if he weren't formidable.
Lin Feng was genuinely startled by Yuan Fei's power. This guy was truly savage—his strength could uproot mountains and his aura could dominate the world, like an ancient demonic ape descending upon the mortal realm, capable of tearing heaven and earth apart with his bare hands.
In front of this guy, it was no wonder Xuanyuan Potian had no temper, chased and beaten miserably.
The massive demonic ape phantom vanished, and the wooden staff returned to an ordinary black stick in Yuan Fei's hand. Lin Feng guessed that this staff was probably extraordinary as well.
With a thought, Lin Feng stepped forward, appearing directly on the Ninth Heaven beside Yuan Fei, and said with a smile, "You really startled me, you bastard."
"Hehe, the old man's creation of the Nine Heavens is indeed quite impressive. Want to try the layer above?" Yuan Fei grinned foolishly, pointing upward toward the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
"Hmm?" The crowd saw Yuan Fei pointing at the Heaven Beyond Heaven and felt a jolt of surprise. This was indeed a fearless fellow, willing to try anything—even the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
"Alright, let's give it a try," Lin Feng said with a smile. Though he probably couldn't ascend now, he had to at least attempt it. What terror lay in that Heaven Beyond Heaven above?
With that, the two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously stepped forward, striding toward the ethereal Heaven Beyond Heaven in the void, unbound by any taboo. They had already reached the Ninth Heaven; the next step was the Heaven Beyond Heaven. Why not try it? That would be Lin Feng's next conquest.
"Boom!" Before they even set foot on the Heaven Beyond Heaven, Lin Feng and Yuan Fei both felt a terrifying pressure descending from above. The grand momentum of heaven and earth had transformed into millstone-sized clouds, rolling with immense force, utterly dreadful.
"What kind of bullshit momentum is this, even manifesting into solid shadows?" Yuan Fei cursed under his breath, then retreated with Lin Feng. They both knew it was impossible to ascend.
After they came down, the millstone clouds in the void gradually dissipated, the wind and clouds clearing, turning into nothingness as if they had never appeared, leaving the crowd in awe.
"This grand momentum of heaven and earth turning into a millstone is like a terrifying sacred artifact. If it were to crush down, it would probably grind both of us to pieces. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for you?" Yuan Fei complained on Lin Feng's behalf. To become a personal disciple of the Martial Emperor, one had to climb this damned Heaven Beyond Heaven. This solid millstone cloud, infused with the power of heaven and earth and condensed into reality—how could it be broken?
"Since this rule was set, it must be breakable. I'm just not strong enough yet," Lin Feng said without too much negativity. Not being able to break it now didn't mean he couldn't in the future. The path of martial arts was full of thorns. How could this Heaven Beyond Heaven remain unconquered? He believed that one day he would step on this grand momentum and ascend to the Heaven Beyond Heaven.
"I hope so. Lin Feng, if these old geezers don't teach you properly, come find me at Flower Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave. I'll have my old man teach you," Yuan Fei said with a foolish grin, but it made Lin Feng's expression stiffen, his body jolting as if struck by lightning.
"Flower Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave!" Lin Feng murmured under his breath, his heart convulsing.
Demonic ape, wooden staff, Flower Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave—Lin Feng couldn't help but curse, "Damn... am I meeting Sun Wukong here..."
"Yes, Flower Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave. Lin Feng, remember it well," Yuan Fei said with a smile, unaware that Lin Feng was cursing his mother at that moment.
"Has the place you live been called Flower Fruit Mountain and Water Curtain Cave since your ancestors?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask, his mind churning, recalling a line of ancient characters.
"No, before, it was called Stone Ape Mountain. But a thousand years ago, a freak appeared, sweeping across the Eight Wastelands and shaking the past and present. One of my ancestors challenged him to a battle and was utterly defeated. When that person left, he told my ancestor that from then on, Stone Ape Mountain would be renamed Flower Fruit Mountain, and the cave dwelling by the waterfall would be renamed Water Curtain Cave."
Yuan Fei replied to Lin Feng, making Lin Feng's heart twitch violently again. A thousand years ago!
"Who was that freak? Is he still alive?" Lin Feng pressed on. To be able to defeat the ancestor of the Great Ape Emperor so thoroughly showed just how monstrous that person was.
"Let's not talk about it. It won't do you any good to know. I'll tell you when there's a chance later. As for whether he's still alive, no one knows, but what's certain is that if he is, he could definitely tear through this Nine Heavens Continent."
Yuan Fei seemed unwilling to discuss it further, a hint of reverence in his eyes. It was hard to imagine that this unruly fellow had taboos, truly in awe of someone.
"Alright, Brother Lin Feng, I've come to see you. Time to find the old man to send me to the Trial Ground. I have to return from there. Remember to come find me for sure." Yuan Fei punched Lin Feng's shoulder, nearly scattering his bones. This guy really didn't hold back.
With a step, Yuan Fei headed into the distance, arriving freely and leaving freely.
"If you have a happy occasion, remember to call your brother for a drink!" Yuan Fei's voice rolled in, and then his figure vanished.
Watching Yuan Fei's back disappear, a gentle smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. Some people don't interact long, but they connect deeply.
After a moment, the smile on Lin Feng's face faded, replaced by a tight frown. His thoughts were in turmoil. After a long silence, he sighed and looked up at the void.
"I wonder in the celestial palace above, what year it is tonight..."
And those familiar words kept drifting through his mind, as if deeply branded there.
"Is it you..." Lin Feng murmured, as if speaking to the heavens.
The crowd watched the dazed Lin Feng. What was he doing? He seemed a bit off.
"Qiongqi, that old bastard is from some era. Maybe he knows something." Suddenly, Lin Feng thought of Qiongqi. With a thought, the gate of the palace he owned opened. Lin Feng's figure flickered and he flashed inside.
"Thump!" As soon as he entered the great hall, an incredibly terrifying force pressed down on him. With no preparation, Lin Feng fell flat on the ground, unable to move, his body crushed tightly, feeling as if several heavy mountains were on his back.
"Damn it!" Lin Feng felt like cursing his mother. Even lifting his head was a struggle against the oppressive force. He surveyed the vast hall—it was empty, nothing at all, only filled with terrifying true essence energy, even emitting a faint mist, showing just how powerful the true essence was inside.
Lin Feng pressed his hands against the ground, bent his knees, and struggled to stand up, straightening his spine. He finally stabilized himself. The oppressive force in this hall was even more terrifying than the Seventh Heaven, almost catching up to the dreadful pressure of the Eighth Heaven, threatening to crush his body. His blood surged, and his bones misaligned, emitting cracking sounds.
Looking up, Lin Feng gazed at the ceiling of the great hall. It was wondrous and infinite, as if a strange force was interwoven there, sometimes forming star patterns, sometimes transforming into landscapes of mountains and rivers. It was a mysterious power that suppressed the entire hall, making the oppressive force wild and boundless.
"This palace... not bad," Lin Feng said through gritted teeth. He now understood Yuan Fei's words. That so-called Battle Victory Holy Land—if you entered, you'd either die or shed a layer of skin.
With a wave of his hand, a figure emerged from the Snow Demon Tower.
"Thump!"
A crisp sound rang out. The figure was slammed hard against the ground by the terrifying oppressive force.
"Bastard, who's messing with this Emperor!" Qiongqi's head buzzed from the fall. He shook his head violently, feeling his head heavy, then opened his huge eyes, glaring at Lin Feng as if he wanted to swallow him whole.
"You disrespectful bastard who doesn't know how to respect your elders, this Emperor isn't done with you!" Qiongqi ground his sharp teeth. Being trapped in the Snow Demon Tower was suffocating, and the moment he came out, this guy tricked him into a faceplant. Too much! He was a great emperor, a majestic emperor who looked down on the world!
