Chapter 1118: Heavenly Terrace Arrives
"A mere clown dares to clamor here," the young man from Sky Dome Immortal Palace sneered coldly, spitting out a few words: "Purple Blades, kill!"
"Swish, swish..." Sharp purple blades thrust toward Lin Feng's body. Many people couldn't bear to watch—if Lin Feng was struck by such terrifying purple blades, his body would surely be riddled with holes, mangled beyond recognition.
But at this moment, the crowd saw Lin Feng's body, wrapped in endless purple vines, move slightly. He lifted his foot and leaned forward, as if still determined to take that step—an unstoppable momentum.
"Boom!" Terrifying black flames erupted with an aura that incinerated everything. The crowd saw the purple vines instantly turn illusory, as if they might snap at any moment. And those razor-sharp purple blades gradually corroded and were destroyed by the spreading flames.
Finally, Lin Feng's foot stepped forward again. A humming tremor rang out, as if terrifying waves were surging toward the young man from Sky Dome Immortal Palace. The momentum of heaven and earth pressed down with an overwhelming force. With this step, the purple vines entangling him turned to ash, vanishing in an instant. The thrusting purple blades also dissipated with the wind, as if annihilated under that immense momentum.
"Hmm?" The crowd's hearts trembled. What was happening? Was that flame really that powerful?
Now they saw Lin Feng's body bathed in black flames, filled with a destructive aura. But the Sky Dome Immortal Palace expert was at the Seventh Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. The purple vines he created should have been terrifying. Even if the flame was strong, it shouldn't have been able to annihilate everything in an instant!
"What power is that?" The Sky Dome Immortal Palace crowd's eyes sharpened. Along with the flame, there seemed to be other forces at work, instantly destroying their companion's purple vines.
"I sensed demonic aura," one of them murmured, making the others' hearts tighten. Their cultivation techniques were unique, making them very sensitive to demonic and evil qi. Even though Lin Feng had concealed it within the flame, they still caught it.
"Right, it's demonic aura," the others nodded. But Xue Biyao's beautiful eyes showed a strange expression. Was it really just demonic aura? Why did she also sense another force—a destructive power that corroded everything?
"Whoosh!" The purple vines didn't affect the momentum of heaven and earth that Lin Feng had gathered. He stepped forward again, and a destructive force that oppressed the sky descended upon the young man from Sky Dome Immortal Palace. Lin Feng reached out his hand, and an endless destructive force made the young man's heart tremble. How could this power be so strong?
"Martial Soul!" the young man shouted. Endless purple vines surged wildly from his body toward Lin Feng, while also wrapping around his own body like an impenetrable cocoon.
Lin Feng's hand pressed steadily forward. Black flames carried a refining, destructive force, within which were also the two other terrifying powers Xue Biyao had sensed. His hand directly plunged into the purple vines, destroying everything, piercing through the impenetrable purple cocoon and grabbing toward the opponent.
"Let go!" the young man roared. But Lin Feng's hand shook slightly. A miserable scream rang out as the young man's body was lifted into the air with one hand. The terrifying demon-sealing power sealed his strength. The vines slowly receded, and the crowd finally saw clearly: Lin Feng's hand was gripping the opponent's throat, while the destructive force had corroded his shoulder, causing the young man unbearable pain.
"Your strength is truly weak," Lin Feng said indifferently. The young man had been insulting him all along, but now he was held in Lin Feng's hand—words were unnecessary.
The young man grabbed at Lin Feng's hand with both hands, trying to pry it loose. But Lin Feng tightened his grip on his throat, eliciting another scream. He now realized with sorrow that this self-important man was being held in the air like an ant by Lin Feng, who could kill him at any moment.
"Release him!"
The Sky Dome Immortal Palace members saw their companion so humiliated by Lin Feng, and their anger flared. Killing intent surged toward Lin Feng like rolling waves.
Lin Feng looked up, sweeping his gaze coldly over the Sky Dome Immortal Palace crowd. "You're no better. When he wanted my life, you said nothing. Now that his life is in my hands, you want me to let him go? Ridiculous!"
These people had all helped the young man in his hands that night, trying to kill him. They only stood on the side of Sky Dome Immortal Palace's power. The young man could kill him, but he couldn't kill someone from Sky Dome Immortal Palace?
"He is a member of Sky Dome Immortal Palace. If you kill him, you become an enemy of Sky Dome Immortal Palace!" the other stared coldly at Lin Feng.
"Don't put that big hat on me. When he wanted to kill me, why didn't you say he was opposing Heavenly Lake? When you thought you could kill me, you said nothing. Now that you can't win, you use Sky Dome Immortal Palace to pressure me. Aren't you ashamed of disgracing Sky Dome Immortal Palace?" Lin Feng replied coldly.
The several young men from Sky Dome Immortal Palace moved, their figures flickering, vaguely surrounding Lin Feng. Only Xue Biyao didn't act, watching everything quietly.
"Release him or not?" The Sky Dome Immortal Palace expert's voice carried a threat.
"Is Sky Dome Immortal Palace bullying Heavenly Terrace into having no one?" At this moment, a rolling voice came from afar. A group of figures flashed rapidly toward them.
"Lin Ruotian." Lin Feng glanced over. Besides Lin Ruotian, there were Meng Ba, the purple-eyed young man, and two experts at the Eighth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. Among the eighty-one first batch of Martial Emperor's Disciples from Heavenly Terrace, not many had stepped into the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm and above, but that didn't mean they were weak. Among the eighty-one, there were experts at both the Eighth and Ninth Layers of Heavenly Martial Realm.
"Lin Feng, the brothers of Heavenly Terrace have arrived!" Lin Ruotian smiled and nodded at Lin Feng. The group moved like wind and lightning, arriving in an instant and surrounding the Sky Dome Immortal Palace members from the outside.
"So Lin Feng is from Heavenly Terrace. He must be one of the first batch of Martial Emperor's Disciples of Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor. No wonder he's so formidable—able to easily kill Xia Fan and now capture a Seventh Layer Heavenly Martial Realm expert from Sky Dome Immortal Palace."
The arrival of Heavenly Terrace's group made the situation even more delicate, sparking the crowd's interest. It was getting more and more interesting.
Lin Feng was from Heavenly Terrace, and he had just killed someone from Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and captured an expert from Sky Dome Immortal Palace. All three factions were Martial Emperor forces. This time, in City of Fate, there were no Venerables. Venerables couldn't enter City of Fate. The wheel of fate began from Heavenly Martial Realm. The last batch of experts who entered City of Fate were either dead or had become Venerables. Among the best, Hou Qinglin had now stepped into the Fifth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm, overwhelmingly powerful and renowned.
"Is Sky Dome Immortal Palace going too far, threatening our Heavenly Terrace member with numbers?" Meng Ba swept his gaze over the Sky Dome Immortal Palace crowd, very displeased.
"Let him go now, and this matter is settled. Otherwise, Sky Dome Immortal Palace will never let this go!" The Sky Dome Immortal Palace members still refused to relent, demanding Lin Feng release the man.
"I said, I hate threats," Lin Feng said coldly. A crisp cracking sound rang out, as if bones were breaking. The young man Lin Feng held screamed again. A terrifying flame surged into his body, about to incinerate him.
"You..."
The Sky Dome Immortal Palace members stepped forward, killing intent spreading. But the Heavenly Terrace experts also stepped forward, an oppressive pressure sweeping across the void, making the atmosphere extremely tense.
"Don't look at me like that. Everyone here witnessed what happened today. He was the one trying to kill me at every turn. Now that he's captured by me, it's his incompetence. If you want to avenge him, then start a war. But if you insist on dragging Sky Dome Immortal Palace into this, do you think Heavenly Terrace is a place that fears trouble?"
As Lin Feng's words fell, a booming sound rang out. Terrifying flames shot into the sky, and screams continued. The Sky Dome Immortal Palace expert's body ignited, burning in the flames until destruction. The Sky Dome Immortal Palace members' faces turned ashen.
A few months ago, Hou Qinglin had charged into Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress from the Trial Ground, and Mu Chen had brought him there afterward. Would Heavenly Terrace fear trouble?
And at Sky Dome Immortal Palace, Mu Chen's words to him were not forgotten. Lin Feng didn't provoke others, but if others provoked him, how could he be afraid? Moreover, this was a conflict among juniors. What did it have to do with Sky Dome Immortal Palace or Heavenly Terrace? It was just their empty threats!
