Chapter 1213: The Eight Wastelands' Attention
In the Eight Wastelands Realm, countless powerful experts surged toward the Western Wasteland and Northern Wasteland. The peak battle between the younger generation of Heavenly Terrace and Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress could even be called the pinnacle clash of youth between the Western and Northern Wastelands. Naturally, it drew the attention of countless onlookers. Even the major powers turned their gazes toward this direction, closely watching the battle.
At this time, news began to spread across the Eight Wastelands. Lin Feng had also met the Prophet in the City of Fate. Perhaps the Prophet's prophecy for Lin Feng was also that of a Martial Emperor, which was why Lin Feng was so extraordinary. Of course, this was merely speculation among the crowd. Those who truly knew the Prophet's prophecy for Lin Feng were still only a handful.
Now, Lin Feng and Qiu Yuexin had become the two most dazzling figures among the younger generation of the Northern Wasteland.
On this day, news finally came from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress in the Western Wasteland: Long Teng had broken through, stepping into the Venerable Martial Realm. At the same time, he challenged Lin Feng of Heavenly Terrace to a decisive battle ten days later at the Qitian Mountain Range.
Instantly, all eyes turned to the Qitian Mountain Range, the border between the Western Wasteland and the Northern Wasteland.
Ten days was enough time for many powerful experts to rush to the Qitian Mountain Range. The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress made a grand display, deliberately leaving time for the experts of the Eight Wastelands to witness this decisive battle—the clash of the younger generation between Heavenly Terrace and Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. The crowd sighed, noting that the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress was so high-profile, it seemed they were full of confidence. It was likely that Long Teng had already reached a terrifying level.
As for Heavenly Terrace, it appeared unusually calm, with no sound coming from them at all. This gave the crowd a false impression: Heavenly Terrace seemed to lack confidence. In this battle, would Heavenly Terrace be defeated?
Lin Feng of Heavenly Terrace, who had slain a Venerable of Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress at the Seventh Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm, had shocked the Northern Wasteland. If he were to fall so soon, it would be a pity.
Three days later, many people had already arrived at the Qitian Mountain Range. Someone rode a dragon chariot war carriage from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, galloping through the void as heaven and earth roared, majestic and imposing. Eight noble-blooded dragon horses pulled the chariot, charging straight toward the peak of the Qitian Mountain Range.
"Rumble!" The dragon chariot war carriage descended upon the peak of the Qitian Mountain Range, sending sand and gravel flying. Then, eight roars rolled out, blood light surging into the sky. The eight dragon horses' bodies dissolved into nothingness in the blood light, torn apart until not a trace remained. At the same time, the war carriage exploded, revealing a domineering, boundless figure within: Long Teng.
Long Teng was draped in a blood-red dragon robe, exuding immense majesty. He arrived seven days early, descending upon the peak of the Qitian Mountain Range. His overbearing gaze seemed to pierce through the void, looking toward the direction of Heavenly Terrace.
"Seven days from now, I will cut off your head and hang it atop the Qitian Mountain Range!" Long Teng's domineering voice spread for a hundred miles. He vowed to sever Lin Feng's head and hang it on the mountain peak, humiliating Heavenly Terrace.
A prodigy who could not grow up was no prodigy at all. Even if Lin Feng possessed a world-shaking physique, he would still die in seven days.
Over these seven days, countless figures descended upon the Qitian Mountain Range, gazing at the domineering figure on the peak. Long Teng sat cross-legged, yet he was like an ancient demonic dragon, filled with boundless wild and savage energy. The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress cultivated the art of mimicry, transforming into the demonic dragon—one of the highest bloodline races in the demon realm—possessing inconceivable power. If fully mimicked, he could easily tear apart experts of a higher realm with just his physical strength. With a single roar, heaven and earth would tremble.
At this moment, beside the main peak of the Qitian Mountain Range where Long Teng sat, there was a secondary peak. On its summit, an extraordinary young figure appeared. Though he seemed ordinary, with nothing remarkable about him, just standing there gave off an intangible aura.
This was the most outstanding figure of the younger generation from the Falling Heaven Pavilion, a Martial Emperor-level force in the Western Wasteland like the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. He was one of the Ten Great Prodigies: Bai Qiuluo of the Falling Heaven Pavilion.
"Bai Qiuluo has also stepped into the Venerable Martial Realm."
Many were secretly shocked. After leaving the City of Fate, those geniuses who had seen the Prophet had all encountered great opportunities. After nearly a year of seclusion, it seemed that the Ten Great Prodigies had all gradually entered the Venerable Martial Realm. The talents of those prodigies were in no way inferior to Long Teng's.
"Bai Qiuluo cultivates the Myriad Transformations Essence and is proficient in various divine abilities. Between him and the current domineering Long Teng, who is stronger and who is weaker?" Many speculated in their hearts. Long Teng's rise might just be a microcosm of the rise of many geniuses in the Eight Wastelands. The Heavenly Dragon Demonic Body appeared before the world with an overbearing stance. What about the Celestial Spirit Body or the Ancient Phoenix Body?
It was said that Jun Moxi, the inheritor of the Undying Divine Palace's old master, possessed the Undying Nether King Body. How was he now? Perhaps the Ten Great Prodigies of the Eight Wastelands were about to be rewritten.
"Qiu Yuexin has also arrived. Truly an ice beauty!" The crowd saw a graceful figure standing quietly on another mountain peak, her robes fluttering, extremely beautiful. Many who had seen Qiu Yuexin before marveled that she was even more beautiful than before. As rumored, she had also stepped into the Venerable Martial Realm, causing countless young heroes' hearts to race.
"Fu Hei is here too." At this moment, someone spotted a dark-faced young man stepping onto the Qitian Mountain Range. It was none other than Fu Hei, one of the Ten Great Prodigies of the Flame Mountain, possessing a Heavenly Fire physique but known for tricking people.
However, Fu Hei's expression was not good at this moment, remaining dark. Shortly after he arrived, a Taoist priest holding a whisk and wearing a Daoist robe chanted "Boundless Heavenly Venerable" as he also descended upon the Qitian Mountain Range. However, the priest did not continue to harass Fu Hei. Instead, his gaze fell upon Long Teng, his cunning eyes seeming to see through Long Teng completely.
"Little bastard, this guy is quite strong now. I wonder how you are doing!" The priest squinted his eyes, thinking to himself. Lin Feng's physique... it had been nearly a year. He shouldn't have fallen behind Long Teng, right?
"What a beautiful woman. I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life." At this moment, someone looked at a newcomer in the distance. She was like a fairy, and even a casual smile in her gaze made people feel as if they were sinking into it, unable to extricate themselves.
"It's Yiren Lei. Her Six Desires Heavenly Technique has grown stronger. Don't look at her, or your Dao heart will become unstable." Some weaker experts dared not look directly at the fairy-like beauty, but many others were oblivious, staring blankly at the stunning figure. One of the Four Great Beauties of the Eight Wastelands: Yiren Lei.
"A battle between Long Teng and Lin Feng has attracted so much attention, and even quite a few of the Ten Great Prodigies have come!" The crowd was shaken. Did Long Teng really have such influence?
They did not know that many had not come for Long Teng. They simply wanted to see Lin Feng, one of those who had received the Prophet's strongest prophecy, and how he was doing now.
Moreover, watching a battle of this level might touch their own Dao hearts.
In the distance from the Qitian Mountain Range, there was a small town. At this moment, many people in the town looked up at the figure on the distant peak. That was the number one youth of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. He could probably slaughter their entire town with ease.
"Master Xu, this number one youth of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress is very strong, right?" Ye Xue looked at the blurry, domineering figure in the distance and murmured softly. During this time, they had been afraid that the incident from that day would be exposed, so they had been hiding, ignoring the outside world and being especially cautious. Just a few days ago, many powerful experts suddenly became active around the town, startling them. Later, they learned that it was a decisive battle between the young geniuses of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and Heavenly Terrace, so they relaxed.
"Very strong. One move could destroy our entire town. This is a terrifying Venerable Martial expert, and a genius Venerable at that." Master Xu nodded.
"Then his opponent must also be very powerful, right? A young genius from Heavenly Terrace in our Northern Wasteland. I wonder if he is as domineering as this." Ye Xue said softly.
"Perhaps he is just a clean-cut young man," Master Xu murmured. He had gone out to inquire about Long Teng's opponent and learned a name... Lin Feng. Of course, he wasn't sure if this Lin Feng was that Lin Feng.
"A clean-cut young man." Ye Xue was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly. "How could that be? Aren't all those with strength arrogant and domineering? Like those people last time, they were extremely overbearing."
"Shh!" Master Xu made a gesture for silence, then chuckled softly. "Have you forgotten? The one who wiped out those people was a clean-cut young man!"
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the young man from Heavenly Terrace to set foot here.
This battle had the attention of the Eight Wastelands. The victor would surely shake the entire Eight Wastelands with their fame.
In the distance of the Qitian Mountain Range, a massive sword was carrying terrifying gale winds, roaring through the void, heading straight for the Qitian Mountain Range!
