Chapter 1155: Great Sweep
Jin Xing's eyes bulged wide open, never expecting such an outcome. Within the City of Fate, he had intended to alter his fate once more, to ascend to the pinnacle and contend with the most outstanding geniuses. But he never imagined he would die within the City of Fate, and all because he coveted the destiny of a mere Fifth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator.
"Roar!" Jin Xing let out a heart-wrenching death cry. Flames surged into the sky, and a destructive power of gold spread out.
"Lin Feng, fall back!"
Yuan Fei shouted. Lin Feng's expression was icy cold as the Primordial Power continuously seeped into Jin Xing's head. Jin Xing knew he had no chance of survival.
Pulling out the Square Sky Halberd, Lin Feng's body retreated rapidly. A thunderous boom echoed, as if a blazing sun had exploded. The terrifying pressure slammed into Lin Feng, causing him to spit blood and fall flat on the ground.
Spitting once, Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. That bastard had actually struck him one last time before dying. But when the other's destiny fell into his brow, a sharp gleam flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. The sixth green vertical mark had formed. His destiny points had surpassed six hundred thousand—an absolutely terrifying number.
But would Lin Feng be satisfied? Obviously not. His ambitions went far beyond this.
"Let's go see if anyone else dares to make a move on you. We'll kill them all together." A wild glint flashed in Yuan Fei's eyes. Those bastards had tried to use this method to drag Lin Feng over and kill him. Perfect—he would clean them up one by one, slaughter them all.
"This guy must have a lot of good stuff on him. Even if you don't need it, you can trade it for destiny points." Lin Feng found Jin Xing's Storage Ring, which hadn't been destroyed, and put it away. It wasn't that he was being stingy and not giving it to Yuan Fei, but who was Yuan Fei? The grandson of the Great Ape Emperor. He wouldn't lack for anything. If Yuan Fei wanted it, he could even get a Supreme Sacred Artifact. But the Great Ape Emperor probably didn't want Yuan Fei to rely on sacred artifacts, so aside from that black staff, Lin Feng had never seen him use any sacred artifact.
However, that seemingly ordinary black wooden staff was made of an extremely terrifying material.
"Jin Xing had a huge reputation in the Gold Domain of the Southern Wasteland. He was a genius. Legend has it that he once obtained a wisp of the Golden Crow's bloodline, making him incredibly powerful. Throughout the entire Eight Wastelands Realm, probably only the top-tier Heavenly Martial prodigies could suppress him. But this time, he was asking for death!"
Yuan Fei said to Lin Feng. The three of them began to flicker back toward the City of Fate, checking if anyone else wanted to make a move on Lin Feng.
"Who are the most monstrous figures?" Lin Feng asked Yuan Fei. He wasn't very familiar with the Eight Wastelands Realm. This time, entering the City of Fate, he would likely encounter those figures. As for Yuan Fei's ferocity, he wondered if he could be counted among them.
Lin Feng wasn't sure. The Eight Wastelands Realm was too vast. When he first set foot there, someone like Yang Zilan was considered a genius. But later, he encountered Xuanyuan Potian, and then Yuan Fei. He was growing, and as he grew stronger, the people he encountered naturally became stronger too.
It was like before—even an ordinary Venerable One required his reverence. But now, he probably wouldn't have that mindset anymore. Those kinds of Venerable Ones were only as strong as Thunder Demon Jin Xing, or even weaker. He didn't need to look up to them. These figures were all people he would surpass. This trip to the City of Fate was an opportunity for him, and he had to seize it well.
"Let's not talk about who they are for now. The Nine Heavens Continent is vast and boundless. The top prodigies don't all have overwhelmingly powerful bloodlines, but most of them come from the disciples of Martial Emperors. As for why, you should understand. Geniuses want to become stronger. Becoming a Martial Emperor's disciple means having a broader perspective, better cultivation resources, and more talented peers. That's how they become even more talented. And the Martial Emperor's regard can elevate them to another level. Therefore, the most outstanding prodigies of the Eight Wastelands Realm are all under various Martial Emperors. This time, gathered in the City of Fate, you'll likely encounter them."
Yuan Fei said to Lin Feng as they moved forward. Lin Feng nodded slightly. It wasn't that all peerless prodigies had good backgrounds. Some people had terrifying comprehension and special physiques gifted by the heavens. They might not be less talented than those of noble birth. But if they wanted to become even more monstrous, they needed a platform.
"I'd like to see them." Lin Feng felt a sense of anticipation. From what Yuan Fei said, it seemed that monstrous figures like him and Thunder Demon weren't even at the top tier.
"Right now, they might be the most monstrous, but on the path of cultivation, there are countless examples of latecomers surpassing the early ones. Recently, some forces in the Eight Wastelands Realm have produced extraordinary physiques, and they've begun to enter the world. A new generation is rising. Just like you, everyone is chasing and competing. Who will truly reach the peak is still too early to say. But if you want to attain the Dao and achieve the supreme Imperial Throne, suppressing some monstrous figures is a necessary experience. That's true for me, and it's true for you, Lin Feng."
Yuan Fei said. Lin Feng nodded slightly. He had come all the way from the small Snow Moon Kingdom. How could he not understand such a simple truth? On his path to becoming stronger, he had constantly trampled over what he then considered geniuses, climbing upward to reach his current state. In the Eight Wastelands Realm, his achievements might not be that high, but in a place like the Snow Domain, he was already a dominant figure. Even in the Qian Domain, he had a place.
The place had changed, his mindset had changed, and his perspective was different. The people he needed to compare himself with were constantly changing. Now, he was walking the path to becoming an Emperor. Those monstrous geniuses would inevitably clash with him sooner or later.
As they spoke, the three arrived at another Fate Temple. This time, when they stepped inside, the old man in the Fate Temple didn't teleport Lin Feng away. That meant no one was trying to drag him over to hunt him.
"Looks like it's not needed anymore." Lin Feng shrugged and smiled. He said to the old man, "I need a powerful aura—a disguise as a Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator."
"Oh?" Yuan Fei seemed to understand what Lin Feng was planning and grinned. This guy was cunning enough.
The old man nodded slightly and waved his hand. Instantly, Lin Feng's body radiated the terrifying aura of a Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator. Although it was fake, if no one knew, it would be extremely intimidating.
Lin Feng's destiny points were reduced by a thousand. Just a layer of disguise cost a thousand destiny points. But for Lin Feng's current formidable destiny, it was just a drop in the bucket.
"Lin Feng, I'll be going now." Yuan Fei said to Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded slightly. Earlier, he had wanted to kill those who tried to drag him over, so he asked Yuan Fei for help, leaving them no chance to escape. But now that the matter was settled, he and Meng Qing could handle self-preservation on their own. What he needed now was a massive amount of destiny points—an incredibly powerful destiny. If he was going to play, he might as well go big.
The old man teleported Yuan Fei away, sending him to a crowded area. Lin Feng then asked to be teleported with Meng Qing to a crowded place as well, but not to the same spot as Yuan Fei. They would hunt for destiny points separately to maximize their gains.
A flash of light, and Lin Feng and Meng Qing appeared in another space. With a thought, the Celestial Fate Sword expanded in the void, and they stepped onto it directly.
A dazzling golden light bloomed as the Sunset Bow appeared in Lin Feng's hand. At the same time, the disguised aura of a Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator swirled around him.
"Let's go!"
Lin Feng wiped his face, changing his appearance, and shouted. The Celestial Fate Sword shot into the air, instantly arriving above a person with a few thousand destiny points. He shouted, "Hand over your destiny, or die!"
Seeing Lin Feng's terrifying aura and the oppressive power of the Sunset Bow in his hand, the man's face stiffened, looking extremely ugly. He obediently handed over all his destiny points. It was survival of the fittest. If he didn't hand them over, he might die. He wasn't that foolish.
After obtaining the destiny points, Lin Feng left instantly without pausing. Soon, in this area, a Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator wielding a terrifying bow, accompanied by a fairy-like woman, riding a sacred artifact sword, began a great sweep. The crowd lamented—this was too oppressive...
Hadn't that terrifying bow appeared before? But it wasn't in this man's hands. He must have snatched it with his Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm strength. Now he was robbing them. Too ruthless. Already at the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, he was still using a sacred artifact. And to make it worse, he was stepping on another sacred artifact. Had anyone ever seen such bullying?!
PS: Although the flowers haven't reached the target, I'm still going to keep the burst going. I said it—today, I'm here to deliver the burst. Others are keeping up the pressure, brothers can't fall behind. The flowers have stopped. Let's keep fighting together!
