# Chapter 1235: Battle Platform Reopened, Lin Feng Enters
Wen Tian Ge slightly raised his head, watching the other's figure disappear, then also stepped down from the battle platform. His sword had already returned to its sheath. Though not a sword cultivator, he used the sword to dominate slaughter — who would dare underestimate him!
"The Ten Great Prodigies have now stepped into the Venerable Martial Realm and set foot in the Eight Wastelands, making them even more terrifying. Neither of them displayed their full arsenal in this battle, but their Essence power could already be glimpsed. Both Wen Tian Ge and Wutian have reached the third layer of Essence!" the crowd sighed inwardly. With such power, it was likely that few low-rank Venerable Martial cultivators could do anything to them.
Moreover, the words Wutian left behind deeply shook everyone. Wen Tian Ge of the Wen Clan might rank among the top three of the Ten Great Prodigies — truly terrifying.
"Is there anyone else willing to step up and try? Today, the Wen Clan's battle platform is open. You may fight to your heart's content!" Old Master Wen said cheerfully, satisfied with the outcome of this battle. However, faced with such a formidable lineup, who would dare step forward easily? Among those watching here were even terrifying existences at the Venerable Lord level. Anyone below the prodigy level would only make a fool of themselves by going up.
At that moment, a figure flickered and stepped onto the battle platform.
"Bai Qiuluo — another of the Ten Great Prodigies!" The crowd's eyes narrowed. This would be interesting. After Wen Tian Ge and Wutian of the Ten Great Prodigies had fought, Bai Qiuluo had now stepped onto the platform. The woman who had been pursuing Bai Qiuluo should have come as well, right?
"What are you waiting for!" Bai Qiuluo's gaze was frivolous as he swept his eyes toward Qiu Yuexin. This woman had chased him all the way from the Western Wasteland to the Central Wasteland, deploying considerable forces without being able to finish her off. Since that was the case, today, he would make her fall here.
"Be careful!" Lin Feng said to Qiu Yuexin in a low voice. Bai Qiuluo, as one of the Ten Great Prodigies, naturally possessed formidable strength. Moreover, he was very likely one of the Seven Assassins, cunning and treacherous. Lin Feng couldn't help but feel uneasy, seeing the confident look in Bai Qiuluo's eyes.
"Mm!" Qiu Yuexin nodded slightly. She stepped forward and headed toward the battle platform. As she landed on it, the light curtain closed and the platform sealed, allowing the two to fight freely without restraint.
"As one of the Ten Great Prodigies, Bai Qiuluo has no reason to lose, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. Qiu Yuexin cultivates the Dao of Emotionlessness, and she likely possesses a terrifying constitution. She rose to prominence in less than a year, yet she chased Bai Qiuluo from the Western Wasteland to the Central Wasteland and even cut off one of his arms. Her strength is formidable!"
"True, but now that they've reached the Venerable Martial Realm, their power is terrifying. Bloodline power is enough to regenerate severed limbs. With some pills, Bai Qiuluo is completely restored. The outcome of this battle is hard to predict!"
The crowd discussed and speculated about who was stronger between Bai Qiuluo and Qiu Yuexin. Their cultivation levels were similar — both had recently stepped into the Venerable Martial Realm.
"Chi!" At that moment, a silver light flashed. Bai Qiuluo held a sharp sword and shot it straight toward Qiu Yuexin. This sword had no flourish — only speed, extreme speed!
Qiu Yuexin raised her hand, and a moon seemed to appear before her palm. She thrust it forward fiercely, blocking the sword.
The sword suddenly began spinning wildly. Terrifying golden light burst forth, its penetrating power incredibly fierce. Even the moon collapsed under that fearsome Gold Essence.
"The Ten Thousand Transformations Essence of the Falling Heaven Pavilion is wondrous and myriad. One Essence power can transform into thousands. As long as a martial artist who cultivates the Transformation Essence has even a slight understanding of another Essence, they can manifest it. Mysterious and unfathomable — it is indeed a terrifying Essence. However, its limitation lies in the fact that the Transformation Essence can only manifest one Essence power at a time. But Bai Qiuluo clearly hasn't only comprehended the Transformation Essence; he also has the Illusion Essence. Therefore, he can freely use the Illusion Essence in conjunction with another Essence for attack!"
Old Master Wen commented softly upon seeing Bai Qiuluo's attack, showing great appreciation for the Falling Heaven Pavilion's Ten Thousand Transformations Essence.
"I've heard this girl cultivates the Dao of Emotionlessness. Let's see how powerful it is!" a Venerable Lord beside him said. The Dao of Emotionlessness — too few cultivators in the world practiced it. Who would be willing to sever all emotions? Truly heartless people were indeed rare.
Qiu Yuexin's body drifted backward, and then Bai Qiuluo's sword suddenly accelerated, thrusting straight at her throat.
"Buzz!" Suddenly, within Qiu Yuexin's body, it seemed as if a moon had risen. A rustling sound spread out as it fiercely enveloped Bai Qiuluo's body.
"Kill!" Bai Qiuluo spat out a single word, icy cold to the bone. Instantly, a terrifying killing power seemed to slash out from within his body. The moon shattered, torn apart.
"Look at me!" Bai Qiuluo suddenly shouted loudly. His eyes seemed to carry a layer of magical luster. Qiu Yuexin's gaze met his, and she immediately felt her vision blur, as if she were about to fall into an illusion.
"Emotionlessness Intent!" Within Qiu Yuexin's eyes, two moons seemed to appear, seeing through all illusory scenes. But at that moment, she saw Bai Qiuluo's lips move, and voices seemed to drift into her eardrums: "Even with feelings, how can one cultivate the Dao of Emotionlessness!"
These demonic sounds swirled in Qiu Yuexin's mind, causing the aura on her body to weaken significantly, as if she were about to sink in.
"Not good!" Lin Feng's expression stiffened. Qiu Yuexin cultivated the Dao of Emotionlessness, but now, because she had been influenced by him, her Emotionlessness Intent had developed a flaw, giving Bai Qiuluo an opportunity to exploit.
"It seems Yuexin indeed needs to cultivate another technique. Whether or not it can suppress the Dao of Emotionlessness, at least it won't cause her combat power to be affected when she has feelings." Lin Feng thought to himself. His heart suddenly tightened. If Bai Qiuluo seized this opportunity, he wouldn't let Qiu Yuexin go.
"Moon Slash!" Within Qiu Yuexin's eyes, two beams of moonlight seemed to slash down, breaking the Illusion Intent. But Bai Qiuluo's sword was already close again, fast as lightning, giving her no chance to relax. This sword gave Qiu Yuexin the illusion of certain death — an assassin's sword.
"Why does Bai Qiuluo also give me a feeling of slaughter? Even the power of his bloodline and martial soul seems to focus on killing." Old Master Wen murmured. Bai Qiuluo gave him the impression of being primarily focused on slaughter — fierce attacks, seizing the initiative, every move lethal. "This girl's Dao of Emotionlessness seems to have been affected by her state of mind!" These Venerable Lord-level figures had sharp eyes; with a casual glance, they seemed to perceive everything.
"Moon, Condense! Freeze!" Qiu Yuexin spat out a cold word, blocking the sword. But at that moment, Bai Qiuluo's left hand swung, and powder scattered everywhere. Qiu Yuexin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her body retreated sharply, but she still inhaled some of the powder.
"Despicable!" Lin Feng's expression turned cold. What was that powder Bai Qiuluo had just scattered?
The crowd also froze. This wasn't a life-and-death duel. For Bai Qiuluo to use such means in full view of everyone was indeed open to criticism. But since Bai Qiuluo had done it, he clearly didn't care about others' opinions — he only sought to achieve his goal. What a ruthless person! Such a person had an extremely tenacious will and was very dangerous.
"I didn't expect Bai Qiuluo to be such a ruthless character." Old Master Wen also remarked, his gaze seeming to see through people's nature.
"Feelings have already been born in your heart. The Dao of Emotionlessness is not suitable for you. Look at me, and I will tell you how to proceed!" Bai Qiuluo's voice was filled with a seductive force. The Illusion power eroded outward. Qiu Yuexin's eyes were no longer clear but appeared somewhat hazy, eroded by the Illusion power.
"It seems that powder is something that can confuse the mind, making it easier for the Illusion power to take advantage." The crowd's expressions congealed. In that case, Qiu Yuexin was in danger. Once she fell into the other's illusion, the outcome would likely be grim.
At this moment, Bai Qiuluo stood still, only his eyes, eerily strange. But Qiu Yuexin seemed to be struggling. Clearly, Bai Qiuluo was using his Illusion power, trying to make Qiu Yuexin sink into it.
"Senior, Bai Qiuluo is fighting with despicable means. Please open the battle platform!" At this moment, Lin Feng spoke to Old Master Wen. He hadn't expected that because of him, Qiu Yuexin's Emotionlessness power had been weakened, and now Bai Qiuluo had used despicable means to ambush her. He had no choice but to intervene.
"The battle hasn't ended yet. How can the platform be opened? Besides, who said using means isn't allowed in battle?" Qi Tian Saint sneered upon hearing Lin Feng's words.
At this moment, Old Master Wen's gaze fell on Lin Feng. But Lin Feng coldly swept his eyes over Qi Tian Saint and continued: "Senior, the battle doesn't stipulate whether means can be used. Bai Qiuluo used them, and I don't object. However, the battle also doesn't stipulate that others cannot interfere. I am now requesting the platform be opened — that is also within reason, isn't it?"
"Ridiculous! The battle hasn't ended. How can the platform be opened midway?" Qi Tian Saint snorted coldly.
"Shut up!" Lin Feng roared angrily. His icy gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight at Qi Tian Saint, causing the latter's eyes to stiffen.
"If you have a problem, we can fight two against two. Qiu Yuexin and I will fight the two of you." Lin Feng said coldly, then looked at Old Master Wen again: "Senior, please open the battle platform!"
"Alright. The battle indeed has no rules. Since Bai Qiuluo used some means, I won't consider it a violation of the rules. And since you request the platform be opened, I will also grant it!" Old Master Wen nodded slightly. "Open the battle platform. No need to close it again. Anyone at the low-rank Venerable Martial level who wants to fight can go up. Others, be careful on your own, or step back!"
The crowd's expressions froze. The platform was open and would no longer be closed. Whoever wanted to fight could go up!
Lin Feng's body trembled. He stepped fiercely toward the battle platform, heading straight for the two combatants.
"Let's see how you save her!" Qi Tian Saint sneered in his heart, his eyes cold and ruthless. "Your opponent is me!"
