# Chapter 1156: Madman
Standing on the Celestial Fate Sword, Lin Feng went wherever he pleased, seizing whatever he could. It had to be said that his disguised aura of a Ninth Layer Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator, combined with the deterrent power of the top-grade Sacred Artifact Setting Sun Bow, meant almost no one dared to provoke him. Within the City of Fate, where endless possibilities and terrifying opportunities existed, no one wanted to die. Losing one's destiny could be reclaimed, but losing one's life meant it was over.
No one would ever imagine that Lin Feng's Ninth Layer Heavenly Martial Realm aura was a fake, obtained through exchange within the Fate Temple. Because the Fate Temple held infinite possibilities, many things were overlooked by others—such as Lin Feng's method of disguising his aura. No one had even considered it. When facing the Setting Sun Bow, their only thought was how to survive.
If robbing one person yielded only a hundred destiny points, robbing a hundred people would yield ten thousand. Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Feng deliberately chose densely populated areas, and the number of people he robbed was far more than a hundred. Moreover, many people had several hundred or even over a thousand destiny points. Thus, by the end of half a day, the green destiny stripes on Lin Feng's forehead had reached eight. The surging life force was almost ready to soar upward.
Eight green stripes meant eight hundred thousand destiny points. Only two more stripes were needed for his destiny count to exceed one million and turn blue, allowing him to temper his body and exchange for a top-grade Sacred Artifact. This was something many dared not imagine—exchanging for a top-grade Sacred Artifact within the City of Fate using destiny points.
Yet even if they dared to imagine, how many could actually obtain a million destiny points? That itself was a terrifying number.
Therefore, aside from Lin Feng's Ninth Layer Heavenly Martial Realm aura and the Setting Sun Bow, those eight green destiny stripes were themselves a powerful deterrent. Along the way, Lin Feng encountered several formidable figures, but upon seeing him, they even kept their distance. Their destiny points had been hard-earned, so it was better to be cautious. Fighting someone who had obtained eight hundred thousand destiny points was extremely dangerous.
Lin Feng paid no attention to others' thoughts. At this moment, he had only one goal: plunder. Plunder until he exceeded a million destiny points. Then, he needed to enter the Fate Temple once more, and after that, prepare to kill someone.
At this moment, atop a palace within the City of Fate, Qi Jiaojiao scanned her surroundings, searching for her next prey.
Qi Jiaojiao wore a blue robe, her hair coiled up, her delicate beauty carrying a hint of valor. The destiny mark on her forehead was green, with two stripes, meaning she had two hundred thousand destiny points. This showed her formidable ability. Moreover, Qi Jiaojiao had her own style of hunting destiny: she only hunted those with over ten thousand destiny points. Thus, having robbed fewer than twenty people, she had already reached her current count.
Now, she was searching for her next target.
"Whoosh!" A whistling sound came from afar. Her gaze snapped around, and she saw two figures flying toward her on a sword, as fast as lightning.
"What terrifying life force!" Qi Jiaojiao's expression tightened. The man's forehead bore eight green stripes, and he seemed to be heading straight for her. In an instant, he was above her.
"Crack!" Terrifying flames surged, and a blazing arrow aimed at her, causing her gaze to freeze.
"Hand over your destiny points!" Lin Feng's voice rang out coldly. This woman was extremely beautiful, with a delicate charm that could even rival saintly maidens like Xue Biyao. However, Lin Feng was merely surprised. What he cared about more were the two green stripes on her forehead. If he could rob just this one person, his destiny would turn blue, breaking a million.
"You dare rob me?" Qi Jiaojiao's expression stiffened. His aura was at the Ninth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. That Sacred Artifact was at least a mid-grade Sacred Artifact, and the sword beneath his feet was also a Sacred Artifact. Coupled with his eight hundred thousand destiny points, the deterrent force was terrifying.
"I'll give you three breaths to consider!" Lin Feng's voice was cold, threatening. Qi Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes flickered continuously. She had robbed so many people, yet this was the first time someone dared to rob her.
"If you want it, I'll give it to you. But you will definitely regret this!" Qi Jiaojiao memorized Lin Feng's appearance but handed over her destiny. At this moment, she was at a disadvantage. Fighting would be unwise.
"Whoosh!" A terrifying life force shot into the sky. Lin Feng's destiny broke a million. The green stripes merged into one, turning blue. In that instant, he felt a surge of life force begin to nourish his body.
Last time in the Fate Temple, he hadn't experienced it fully, but now he could clearly feel the blue destiny tempering his body. Many people, after obtaining a blue destiny, might be reluctant to trade it in the Fate Temple.
After obtaining the destiny, the Celestial Fate Sword tore through the void, and Lin Feng left directly, not even giving Qi Jiaojiao a second glance.
"You will definitely regret this!" Qi Jiaojiao stared at Lin Feng's back. As one of the Four Great Beauties of the Eight Wastelands, she possessed a distinguished family background, countless outstanding suitors, and a brother who was a favored son of heaven in the Eight Wastelands. Combined with her own talent and beauty, no one in the Eight Wastelands had ever dared to disrespect her. Even in the City of Fate, those geniuses treated her with great courtesy.
But this time, she had been robbed. And the robber's gaze was so cold, showing not a hint of appreciation or any other unusual expression—only cold plunder.
Lin Feng naturally had no idea about Qi Jiaojiao's thoughts. He only thought she was very beautiful, nothing more. He also didn't know she was one of the Three Great Beauties of the Eight Wastelands, nor that her family was one of the most prominent clans in the Eight Wastelands. Unlike other clans, the Qi family of the Eastern Wasteland had a Martial Emperor.
Qi Jiaojiao had many siblings, and none of them were simple characters.
After continuing to rob a few more people, Lin Feng's destiny count reached one hundred and five thousand. Finally, he stopped and entered the Fate Temple together with Meng Qing.
Upon entering the Fate Temple, Lin Feng directly took out the Celestial Fate Sword and said to the old man inside, "Senior, I need one hundred days of extra time, not counting toward reality. During these hundred days, I need a quiet environment and a space of heavenly thunder. The intensity of the thunder should be exactly the limit that this sword can withstand. How many destiny points will it cost?"
"Show me the image in your mind." The old man said calmly. Lin Feng transformed his imagination into a memory fragment and passed it to the old man.
"It will cost a total of five hundred and fifty thousand destiny points." The old man replied after receiving the image.
"What if the two of us go in together?" Lin Feng asked again. He had exchanged this space at great cost, hoping that Meng Qing could enter without being charged double the destiny points—that would be too terrifying.
"Add one hundred thousand." The old man replied directly. Lin Feng nodded slightly. A total of six hundred and fifty thousand destiny points—he could accept it.
"I'll exchange this top-grade Sacred Artifact first." Lin Feng handed the Setting Sun Bow to the old man. The old man took it, and then two blue stripes appeared on Lin Feng's forehead, representing over two hundred thousand destiny points.
"Senior, let's begin the transaction I mentioned. The two of us will enter together." Lin Feng said again. The old man waved his hand, and Lin Feng and Meng Qing felt the void shift. The next moment, they appeared in another space—a quiet space, similar to the one Lin Feng had entered last time. There was a moon, stars, and rich essence of heaven and earth. However, this time, in the space ahead, rolling, terrifying heavenly thunder had appeared.
Looking at the rolling thunder, a burning light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He wanted this heavenly thunder to nurture his sword.
This idea had come to Lin Feng after his battle with the Thunder Demon. Lightning had powerful offensive capabilities, strong destructive force, and terrifying attack speed—it was a powerful elemental attribute. Combined with his own comprehension of Flame Will, and in the future, Flame Essence, lightning and fire together—lightning could birth fire, and their combined power would be even more fearsome. Therefore, Lin Feng wanted to condense a lightning-attribute sword soul.
"Meng Qing, I need to cultivate a special power next. During this process, I will be in great pain. Don't worry about me. With this terrifying blue destiny, I won't die." Lin Feng showed Meng Qing a smile, but it made her expression freeze. Although Lin Feng spoke lightly, since he said it like this, it meant he was about to endure terrible pain.
Turning his gaze, Lin Feng looked at the rolling thunder space. A resolute gleam flashed in his eyes. Senior Brother Mu Chen had once said: Without going mad, how can one become an emperor? If he didn't go mad, if he didn't endure pain that others hadn't, how could he compete with those who possessed terrifying bloodline powers? How could he surpass and trample over those monstrous prodigies? Only by going mad!
This path had been walked by the Skyless Sword Emperor before him. He was not alone!
