# Chapter 1264: Martial Emperor Appears
"Seal!" Lin Feng's gaze suddenly congealed, a brilliant light flashing in his eyes. If it truly was a seal, what kind of seal could be so powerful, like an extremely hard pitch-black metal, that even a Venerable Lord using a Supreme Sacred Artifact could not shake it in the slightest? And what was sealed beneath it?
"Could it really be related to the Three Lives Emperor?" Lin Feng speculated in his heart. If this was a sealing power set by a Great Emperor, not to mention Venerables being unable to break it, even if a Martial Emperor was sealed inside, they would not be able to escape.
"Qi Yun, it seems we'll have to trouble you to continue breaking through. We need to see how wide the range of this seal is before we can guess what kind of seal it is," someone said to the Qi Family Venerable Lord at this moment.
Qi Yun hesitated for a moment, then said, "Very well, I'll grant your wish."
As Qi Yun spoke, he walked to the edge of the earthen mound and continued using the Sky-Rending Ancient Mirror, constantly emitting terrifying beams of light to break open the earth, while many other experts also began clearing away, sending palm strikes to destroy the ground, causing the area to continuously expand.
"If this is a seal, just how vast is it?" Many people watched as the range of the seal kept expanding, their hearts trembling incessantly. It seemed as if the bottom of this entire vast land was a single huge and complete seal. Now, with many experts working together to open it up, they still could not see its edge, not knowing how vast it truly was.
"A seal like this could probably only be laid out by a Great Emperor!" Lin Feng murmured to himself, watching as the experts opening the seal moved farther and farther away from him. It seemed as if beneath this entire Cloud Sea Mountain Range, a seal from who knows how many years ago lay hidden.
Time passed slowly. Many Venerable Lord level experts were all terrifying figures capable of splitting mountains with a raise of their hands, yet even with them working together, plus the Qi Family Venerable Lord's Sky-Rending Ancient Mirror, it still took half an hour before they finally saw the edge of this boundless, enormous seal.
At the former site of the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, an area spanning ten miles in all directions was a single, complete, and whole seal.
Looking at the seal that stretched beyond the horizon, the crowd drew in cold breaths one after another, their gazes somewhat dazed. Dense and intricate patterns stretched across this metal seal, like ancient demonic runes from a bygone era, lying there quietly without the slightest leakage of energy.
"Go up!" Figures soared into the air one after another. From the ground, one simply could not see the full appearance of the seal.
Lin Feng's body also rose into the air, reaching the void above, looking down at the hundred-meter-deep pitch-black seal. It was indeed a complete whole, and those patterns seemed to all be connected. The crowd could not see through them at all. Such complex patterns were beyond even Venerable Lord level figures to comprehend.
But the crowd had an illusion—this seal seemed to contain the ultimate principle of the Sealing Dao, with the power of the Sealing Dao, eternally sealing this land here. If not for the Wen Family following the trail of the Three Lives Emperor, they would never have discovered that at the bottom of this mountain range, such a terrifying seal lay hidden.
"In ancient times, there was a legend of a stele that could seal gods and demons, called the Demon Sealing Stele, containing endless sealing power. And several thousand years ago, it was said that the Demon Sealing Stele remained intact in the hands of the last extraordinary figure!" At this moment, the Venerable Lord of the Sikong Family had sharp light flashing in his eyes, as if talking to himself, but upon hearing his words, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Demon Sealing Emperor, sealing both gods and demons!" Many people murmured softly. Hearing the Sikong Family Venerable Lord's words, they all recalled a name, a figure who shook the ages.
In the history of the Nine Heavens Continent, there had been many stunningly talented geniuses. Some figures were famous across the continent, known even to experts of the Eight Wastelands Realm. The Three Lives Emperor and the Demon Sealing Emperor were both such supreme experts.
"After the Demon Sealing Emperor attained the Dao, he was hailed as the number one sealer of all time, creating three thousand six hundred and eighty-one sealing techniques that shook the ages. After achieving the Dao, he destroyed the Demon Sealing Stele, shattering it into countless pieces. Since then, no one has ever heard of the complete Demon Sealing Stele reappearing."
Those experts recounted the history of the Demon Sealing Emperor. Lin Feng felt waves of turmoil in his heart. The Demon Sealing Emperor, after achieving the Dao, had actually shattered the Demon Sealing Stele that could seal gods and demons, because he was confident he no longer needed it. He himself was like the Demon Sealing Stele, capable of sealing gods and demons.
Lin Feng lowered his head, his gaze falling to the space below. That boundless, enormous seal... They spoke of the Demon Sealing Emperor. Could it be that this huge seal was set by the Demon Sealing Emperor?
If it really was the work of the Demon Sealing Emperor, then it was truly terrifying. What exactly was sealed beneath?
At this moment, those Venerable Lord level figures also looked at each other, sharp light flashing in their eyes. Clearly, they had not expected this either. If it really was the work of the Demon Sealing Emperor, then a Martial Emperor would probably have to come out of seclusion!
And at this time, in a distant place, at Black Wind Ridge, on an ancient tree, a Daoist priest's robe fluttered in the wind, his gaze flickering uncertainly. This person was none other than Yan Di.
But at this moment, Yan Di's expression was solemn, without the slightest hint of his usual playfulness.
"These bastards, they discovered it too early!" Yan Di cursed those bastards from the Eight Wastelands Realm in his heart. They had come to the Snow Moon Cloud Sea Mountain Range so quickly.
"Everyone, shall we try together?" At this moment, the Wen Family Venerable Lord suggested. Many people nodded slightly. Then, surging power erupted from their bodies, rushing toward the space below, spreading over the boundless seal, as if trying to activate the demonic patterns. But it was useless. The seal still emitted a pitch-black metallic luster, lying there quietly without any reaction.
Soon, those Venerable Lords gave up. It was useless. They simply could not open this seal.
"A Martial Emperor must be summoned!" Yuan Fei beside Lin Feng narrowed his huge eyes. Clearly, he had not expected that in this small kingdom, the Wen Family had discovered this terrifying seal, possibly set by the Demon Sealing Emperor. This meant that whatever was sealed inside was worth the attention of a Great Emperor, and even for a Martial Emperor, it held powerful attraction.
At this moment, Lin Feng's brows were tightly furrowed. Even a Martial Emperor had to be summoned. For Snow Moon, was this a blessing or a curse?
If what was sealed was a supreme expert, then what? If the Martial Emperor unlocked the seal and could not control it, it would be a catastrophic disaster for Snow Moon.
"Boom!" At this moment, it seemed as if a mark was crushed. Then, an immeasurably vast aura descended. Immediately, the crowd saw that in the direction of the Qi Family, the void became chaotic, trembling people's hearts.
"Summoning a Martial Emperor!" The crowd's eyes trembled. They saw the chaotic void transform into a void ancient mirror. Then, everyone saw a figure appear within the mirror—a terrifying expert's figure.
"Martial Emperor, the Qi Family's Martial Emperor!" The crowd's expressions trembled. They saw the figure in the ancient mirror cast his gaze toward that land, his expression also slightly moved, murmuring, "A seal!"
"Yes, Martial Emperor. We speculate it might have been left by the Demon Sealing Emperor," the Qi Family Venerable Lord said respectfully. The figure in the void ancient mirror pondered for a moment, as if thinking.
"Rumble..." The void became chaotic. The energy of heaven and earth grew restless, rolling wildly. A white-robed figure appeared in the void, glanced at the Qi Family's Martial Emperor, then directly descended toward the space below, landing on the seal.
"Soul imprint!" Yuan Fei's expression trembled. This appearing figure was the Wen Family's Martial Emperor. Compared to the Qi Family, the Wen Family clearly placed more importance on this. Even the Martial Emperor's soul imprint was present.
"The same as what Old Man Xiao left on me back then!" Lin Feng murmured. This seal had truly alarmed the Martial Emperors.
The Wen Family's Martial Emperor looked for a moment, then raised his head toward the void, a dazzling light flashing in his eyes as he said, "Seal off this void. No one is to act rashly until I arrive!"
His sharp gaze carried a majestic aura, brooking no argument, causing the crowd to nod involuntarily. At the same time, the Venerables of the various major forces all crushed the marks on their bodies, notifying their Martial Emperors.
The Wen Family Martial Emperor's figure dissipated into the void, as if he had never appeared. But everything here—the many Martial Emperors of the Eight Wastelands Realm—already knew.
Martial Emperors were about to descend upon Snow Moon!
