# Chapter 1099: Curse Scepter
"You're certain you saw the power of a curse?" The two figures gazed solemnly at Lin Feng, as if some secret lay hidden within.
"Although my cultivation is not strong, I am still at the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. How could I fail to recognize what kind of power that was? If I hadn't bitten my lip just now to regain clarity, I might have been cursed by that curse power." Recalling what had just happened, Lin Feng still felt lingering fear and was extremely wary.
The two phantom figures exchanged glances, both appearing deeply shocked.
"Do you know something about this?" Lin Feng asked indifferently.
"In the past, besides the Setting Sun Bow, our master also possessed an even more powerful sacred artifact, one containing the power of laws—a true Supreme Sacred Artifact with boundless might, capable of bringing infinite curse power. As for this supreme sacred artifact, we never saw our master use it. We heard it was sealed within this azure light hall of enlightenment, used to comprehend the law of curses. We suspect that this Supreme Sacred Artifact may not have been destroyed."
One of the phantoms spoke slowly, causing Lin Feng's expression to stiffen. There was a Supreme Sacred Artifact, and it might still be intact, not destroyed?
The phantom said that Supreme Sacred Artifact was sealed within this azure light hall, and he had just sensed the power of a curse. Could this curse power be related to that Supreme Sacred Artifact?
"What do you mean?" Lin Feng looked at the two phantoms and asked.
"If you can truly sense the power of a curse, you can try to feel it yourself, to summon the curse force forth. Perhaps you may find that Supreme Sacred Artifact—the Curse Scepter!"
"You want me to try again?" Lin Feng was stunned. The curse power had nearly destroyed him just now. If he tried again, he couldn't be sure what consequences might occur.
"If you feel the curse power will erode you, withdraw immediately. Even if you cannot summon the Curse Scepter, it will still count as an enlightenment experience." The phantom continued speaking. Since Lin Feng had been able to forcefully withdraw once, there should be no problem a second time.
Lin Feng's eyes flickered. He glanced at Qiongqi beside him, who was still focused on dealing with the Martial Emperor's physical body, preparing to completely refine the dead thoughts within.
"Alright." Nodding slightly, Lin Feng decided to try again. Sacred artifacts also had distinctions of strength. A Supreme Sacred Artifact interwoven with the power of laws was worth risking for. If it could be used by him, its power would probably not be weaker than the Demonic Sword, giving him another trump card.
Sitting cross-legged, Lin Feng assumed a dignified posture, holding the Heavenly Jade Stone in his hand while his Heavenly Book Martial Soul bloomed in the void. Then he sank once more into the Enlightenment Notes, observing the Martial Emperor's enlightenment notes from ancient times. Those large characters floated up again, incomparably clear and profound, containing principles. Lin Feng even had the illusion that there seemed to be the sound of the Great Dao playing in the void, vibrating through his five viscera, echoing in his spirit—ethereal and intangible, yet existing between heaven and earth.
At this moment, the two venerable ones watched Lin Feng, seeing his enlightened appearance, dignified and solemn, as if he were a powerful cultivator who had attained the Dao, transcendent and detached from the mundane. This gave them the illusion that this was not an ordinary weakling at the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, but a terrifying, peerless expert comprehending the principles of the Dao.
"If not for his innate extraordinary enlightenment, he must possess a remarkable Martial Soul, concealing it without speaking." The two exchanged glances. What they could not do, Lin Feng could. They believed such situations existed. In ancient times, some people with world-shaking Martial Souls forged transcendent physiques, stunning the world with their brilliance and contending across heaven and earth.
However, Lin Feng was unaware of their thoughts at this moment. His mind was completely immersed in his own comprehension. That wisp of gray, formless qi drifted over again, causing Lin Feng's heart to pound. The power of a curse had appeared again.
The Heavenly Jade Stone radiated light, combined with the power of the Heavenly Book Martial Soul, making everything around him so clear. He sensed wisps of curse power appearing all around. Within the Martial Emperor's enlightenment notes from ancient times, those large characters were actually embedded with curse power within them.
"So much curse power!" Lin Feng was shocked. If all this curse power invaded at once, it could destroy him in an instant.
"It's coming!" Lin Feng saw wisps of curse power permeating toward him, making him feel cold all over. With a thought, a terrifying sealing power spread from his body, resisting the curse aura, trying to see if he could withstand the curse power and spy out the supreme sacred artifact the phantoms had mentioned.
The curse aura in the azure light stone wall grew increasingly terrifying, as if it had all come alive, continuously drifting through the void of the hall, gradually converging together.
"Scepter!"
Lin Feng's gaze fixed. Above his head, the terrifying curse aura slowly transformed into the phantom of a scepter. This scepter seemed to exude a strange aura, symbolizing majesty, yet also carrying coldness and evil.
"Supreme Sacred Artifact, Curse Scepter!"
Lin Feng's heart shook. The curse power had actually converged into the phantom of a scepter. It might be as the two had said—the Curse Scepter was truly sealed within this azure light hall, used by the Martial Emperor of old to comprehend the law of curses.
From the enlightenment notes on the walls, every large character seemed to have wondrous power seeping out, all of it curse aura, shocking Lin Feng.
At this moment, the two venerable phantoms also saw it. From those large characters, curse power was truly and clearly emanating, making their hearts pound. Lin Feng had actually stirred the curse power, making it truly appear, allowing them to see it as well.
"Buzz!" The entire hall seemed to tremble slightly. The curse power crazily converged toward the void. At this moment, Lin Feng stopped his continued comprehension. He knew he no longer needed to comprehend.
Looking up at the space above his head, the phantom of the scepter grew increasingly condensed, as if it were transforming from illusion into substance. A terrifying curse aura caused even Qiongqi to stop his movements, staring at the scepter in the void.
"This kid's luck is truly heaven-defying. You actually found it. Worthy of following this Emperor." Qiongqi muttered. Lin Feng directly ignored him, only staring at the scepter phantom in the void.
"Buzz!" A terrifying curse power spread out. The scepter in the void exuded a supreme aura, finally taking shape. It was no longer a phantom scepter, but a true and real Supreme Sacred Artifact.
"The real Curse Scepter! I never thought the Martial Emperor would have integrated the Curse Scepter into the stone walls of this entire hall, allowing him to constantly feel the power of curses!" The two now naturally understood why they had never seen this scepter before. The stone walls of this hall were the hiding place of this supreme sacred artifact.
Lin Feng felt the supreme aura and cursed inwardly. With such terrifying curse power, could he even refine it? Wouldn't he be cursed by this Supreme Sacred Artifact?
But at this moment, the scepter slowly drifted down, directly falling toward Lin Feng, causing his expression to stiffen. He was at a loss—should he dodge or not?
Taking a few steps back, Lin Feng was quite hesitant. However, the scepter seemed to follow him, continuing to drift in his direction, leaving him speechless. Had this scepter set its sights on him?
"This bastard is going to enrage this Emperor to death." Qiongqi was speechless. He had never seen such a bastard as Lin Feng. With luck so heaven-defying, he summoned the Supreme Sacred Artifact Curse Scepter, and then he actually dodged it! Too speechless. If others saw this scene, they would probably be so angry they'd spit blood.
"Sacred artifacts have their own spirit. You summoned it forth, and it wants to follow you. Yet this bastard actually dodges. I really don't know why this scepter didn't choose the great Flame Emperor, but instead chose a fool." Qiongqi said, extremely frustrated.
"Uh..." Lin Feng was stunned by Qiongqi's words. This Curse Scepter wanted to follow him?
"Won't I be eroded by the curse power?" Lin Feng watched the Curse Scepter drift in front of him, still not reaching out to grasp it, and asked weakly.
Qiongqi looked up to the heavens and sighed, wishing he could smash his head against something. The two venerable phantoms also exchanged glances. This guy... was he deliberately trying to anger people?
"Rest assured. Since it has chosen you, it will not curse you!" Qiongqi said through gritted teeth, his fierce eyes wishing they could kill Lin Feng. Too outrageous. He was insulting that Supreme Sacred Artifact.
"How was I supposed to know?" Lin Feng chuckled awkwardly. He reached out his hand. It was slightly cold to the touch. The scepter was a bit icy, yet carried a terrifying power. However, as Qiongqi had said, the scepter was very docile, with no curse power trying to erode him.
On the Curse Scepter were carved complex patterns, as if imprinted with sacred marks and the principles of the Dao, extremely profound.
Lin Feng held the scepter, assuming a dignified posture, then pointed it at Qiongqi, like a divine staff wielder.
"Curse Scepter, curse that guy!"
"Buzz!" A wave of curse power spread out, eroding toward Qiongqi, causing his eyes to freeze. Then he roared, "You bastard!"
As he spoke, Qiongqi spat out a mouthful of void flame. The terrifying flame instantly made the space scorching hot, burning away the curse aura.
"Uh... That actually works?" Lin Feng looked at the Curse Scepter still flickering with radiance, utterly speechless. He hadn't even refined the scepter, yet it already obeyed his commands?
Now this was what you called a sacred artifact! If only the Demonic Sword would listen to him like this!
A sly smile appeared on his face, a bit lecherous. Lin Feng stroked the Curse Scepter and laughed, "If that guy who calls himself this Emperor dares to be arrogant again in the future, we'll curse him so he can never become a Great Emperor!"
Qiongqi shuddered at Lin Feng's words, his body trembling. This guy... so ruthless!
It seemed he should provoke this bastard less from now on. Once he refined the Curse Scepter, if he actually made the curse take effect, he would be thoroughly screwed!
