# Chapter 1265: Eight Gates Heavenly Demon Lock Chain
"Martial Emperor!" Lin Feng murmured to himself, without any trace of excitement. For a Venerable, the Snow Moon Kingdom was already small; facing a Martial Emperor, it was but a mere inch of land.
Moreover, this seal seemed to require at least a Martial Emperor to even attempt to open it. For Snow Moon, this was truly not good news.
"The Three Lives Demon Emperor appeared here; the Flame Emperor was sealed here; and now, another supreme figure like the Three Lives Demon Emperor has appeared—the Demon Sealing Great Emperor. The footprints of three Great Emperors have arrived here. What exactly lies hidden beneath this seal?" Lin Feng felt a trace of worry in his heart.
"Everyone retreat beyond the seal and seal off this space!" The Venerable Lord of the Wen Clan said indifferently. Immediately, figures shot through the air, retreating to the edge of the boundless, enormous seal. They could not break the seal; now, they could only wait for the Martial Emperor to descend.
Lin Feng and Yuan Fei also retreated to the edge. Yuan Fei said to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, a Martial Emperor from the Qi Clan will be descending. Perhaps you should avoid this for now. With so many powerful experts here, and even a Martial Emperor personally arriving, even if there really are treasures within the ruins, I'm afraid there won't be any share for us."
Lin Feng smiled upon hearing Yuan Fei's words. He naturally understood Yuan Fei's good intentions. A Martial Emperor was no ordinary being. Even with the Skyless Sword Emperor's sword in hand, he could not contend with one. A single loud shout could shake his soul until it trembled. If they truly tore off all pretense and tried to kill Lin Feng, he would have no power to resist. His strength was too weak; even if the Skyless Sword was powerful, he wouldn't have the chance to use it.
"If a Martial Emperor wants to tear off all pretense, where could I flee?" Lin Feng shook his head with a smile. Snow Moon was only this small a place. If a Martial Emperor tore off all pretense and tried to kill a Heavenly Martial cultivator like him, there would be no way to hide—it would be a dead end. Of course, Lin Feng had reason to believe that a Martial Emperor wouldn't tear off all pretense to kill him over a mere Qi Tian Saint. That would make the Martial Emperor's reputation unsavory, and moreover, it would violate the unspoken rules among Martial Emperors.
Yuan Fei said nothing more. The probability was indeed too small. Lin Feng had not yet threatened the Qi Clan's existence. The Qi Clan's Martial Emperor would not go that far.
"Whoosh..." In the distance, a violent hurricane howled madly through the void. Heaven and earth rolled, and then the crowd only saw a majestic figure striding forward. "Such speed!" Lin Feng exclaimed in surprise. This figure was not particularly robust, yet at a glance, it gave a sense of grandeur, as if with each step it could make heaven and earth tremble. It was exactly the same as the soul projection that had appeared earlier. The Wen Clan's Martial Emperor had arrived!
"The Heavenly Void Ancient Array is at the Wen Clan, so naturally the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor arrives the fastest!" Yuan Fei responded. The Wen Clan members showed joy in their eyes, all stepping forward to greet him, bowing their bodies with extreme respect. Even though they were all of the Wen Clan, a Martial Emperor was an expert of another level entirely.
Lin Feng only saw the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor take a few steps before arriving directly above the center of the seal. A terrifying momentum of heaven and earth descended from the sky, accompanying the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor's body.
"Boom!" A dull thunder sounded. Heaven and earth resonated together, as if the Dao's sound was shaking. The entire void trembled violently.
Lin Feng grunted, his heart fiercely trembling. In that instant, it felt as if that terrifying Dao might would shatter his heart. This momentum was the true momentum of heaven and earth, the momentum of the Dao. With each step, it played in harmony with heaven and earth.
The seal on the ground finally showed a trace of fluctuation, as if trembling slightly.
The Wen Clan's Martial Emperor rose into the air again, sweeping his gaze over the enormous seal below. Looking at the terrifying pitch-black demon patterns, he was also quite shaken.
"It should be the work of the Demon Sealing Great Emperor!" the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor murmured to himself, causing everyone's hearts to tremble again. There was no mistake—it really was the work of the Demon Sealing Great Emperor.
Not only had the Three Lives Demon Emperor left his footprints here, but the Demon Sealing Great Emperor had also appeared. Two Great Emperors!
If they knew that the Flame Emperor had been beaten here until his soul was nearly scattered, then sealed, who knew what they would think.
However, after saying that, the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor fell silent, staring at the seal, lost in thought.
Since the Martial Emperor did not speak, the crowd dared not speak either. The void fell into a dead silence. Even a Martial Emperor did not know how to break this seal. How could a seal set by the Demon Sealing Great Emperor, who was said to be able to seal gods and demons, be so easily broken?
In the distance, a violent hurricane howled furiously. The crowd felt a terrifying wind sweeping in, like a destructive storm that could annihilate heaven and earth. Many people closed their eyes, not daring to look directly. When everything calmed down and they opened their eyes, they found another figure standing before the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor.
"Martial Emperor!" All the experts of the Sikong Clan from the Central Wasteland bowed. This figure was precisely the Martial Emperor of the Sikong Clan from the Central Wasteland.
The Sikong Clan's Martial Emperor's eyes shifted unpredictably, as if trying to see through everything, staring fixedly at the demon patterns on the seal.
"Boom!" After a moment, the Sikong Clan's Martial Emperor's body trembled. He let out a roar, his eyes fiercely closing, his expression extremely ugly.
"Hmm?" The crowd was horrified. The Sikong Clan's Martial Emperor's eyes were also Heavenly Eyes, just like Sikong Xiao, one of the Ten Great Prodigies, possessing the Heavenly Eye constitution. Yet in that instant when he released his Heavenly Eye, even a Martial Emperor's eyes seemed to be injured. Just how terrifying was this seal?
"How is it?" the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor asked the Sikong Clan's Martial Emperor.
The Sikong Clan's Martial Emperor's eyes opened again, a sharp glint flashing through them. "I'm afraid it's one of the three thousand six hundred and eighty-one demon sealing techniques. I tried to peer into it with my Heavenly Eye, but it triggered the seal. It even tried to seal my Heavenly Eye."
"It wants to seal a Martial Emperor's Heavenly Eye!" The crowd's hearts trembled. This seal was too terrifying. Even trying to spy on it was impossible; it would backlash.
In the distance, terrifying void fluctuations came again. Then, the crowd saw three figures striding forward together. Seeing these three, the experts of the Illusory World Heavenly Palace, the Qi Clan, and the Carefree Divine Sect all bowed at the same time, calling out "Martial Emperor."
The four major powers of the four ancient cities of the Central Wasteland had sent four Martial Emperors. The Qi Clan of the Eastern Wasteland had sent one Martial Emperor. In the Snow Moon Kingdom, five Martial Emperors had descended.
However, when the three newly arrived Martial Emperors looked at the seal, they too fell silent. They could not open this seal.
"What do you all think?" the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor asked the other Martial Emperors.
"We need to figure out exactly what kind of seal this is, then find its weakness. Otherwise, even with heaven-defying power, breaking a seal set by the Demon Sealing Great Emperor is probably impossible."
"Right, first we need to determine what kind of sealing technique this is."
"If you don't try, how do you know you can't break it?" At this moment, a rolling voice came, filled with boundless arrogance. In the distance, golden light tore through heaven and earth, rushing straight over. Countless hearts tightened. This terrifying golden light pierced through everything, its speed even more terrifying than sound. Only after it passed did space emit a rumbling, roaring sound.
"Peng Emperor!" Several Martial Emperors murmured upon seeing the newcomer. Then, the golden light instantly appeared above them. The crowd only saw a terrifying, pure-gold divine bird, blotting out the sky and covering the sun, overlooking all beings from the heavens above, as if it were the king of this world.
"Peng Emperor, do you intend to break the seal by force?" the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor looked up at the void and asked indifferently. This Peng Emperor of the Demon Emperor Hall, along with Peng Mo, one of the current Ten Great Prodigies, were the only two divine birds in the Eight Wastelands Realm. Their true forms were both Golden-Winged Great Roc. The Peng Emperor, in the Eight Wastelands Realm, truly had unmatched physical body and unmatched speed.
"If you don't try, how do you know you can't break it!" The Peng Emperor was arrogantly unbounded. His wings spread open, and instantly, heaven and earth seemed to turn golden. Endless golden light scattered down. For dozens of miles around, everyone felt that wild, sharp aura of gold.
"Kyaa!" The Peng Emperor let out a furious cry. His body dove downward. Heaven and earth rolled. The golden light transformed into a brilliant golden beam, descending from the sky onto the seal.
"Boom!" The seal trembled. The heavens shook. This terrifying collision made the crowd's hearts pound violently. Many people even grunted, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths. That surging collision force was too terrifying, shaking the entire surrounding void violently.
"Peng Emperor, this is a sealing technique. Even if your power can reach the heavens, you still cannot break it!" the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor said. The Peng Emperor's body soared upward again, his arrogant gaze fixed on the seal below. Even with his terrifying power, he still could not shake this seal.
"Infinite Heavenly Venerable!" At this moment, a voice rolled in from the distance. The crowd turned around, revealing puzzled expressions. A Daoist wearing a Daoist robe appeared there.
"This guy is here too!" Lin Feng's expression froze. This fellow had once been sealed in the Cloud Sea Mountain Range. Perhaps he knew some inside information.
"All Martial Emperors, this poor Daoist knows what kind of sealing technique this is!" The Daoist waved his whisk, saying casually, causing the several Martial Emperors to look at him. This Venerable-level Daoist knew what this seal was?
"Speak, then!" the Qi Clan's Martial Emperor stared at the Flame Emperor and said.
"All Martial Emperors, please look carefully. These demon patterns are pitch-black. If divided into eight large sections, they vaguely form eight great gates. Don't look at the entire seal; only look at one of the gates!" the Flame Emperor said. Immediately, the Martial Emperors looked toward the vast seal below. Soon, their eyes froze. Indeed, there seemed to vaguely be eight great gates.
"What kind of sealing technique is this?" the Wen Clan's Martial Emperor looked at the Flame Emperor, a sharp glint flashing. How did a Venerable know the origin of this sealing technique?
"Eight Gates Heavenly Demon Lock Chain, locking all gods and demons of heaven and earth!" the Flame Emperor said calmly, causing the Martial Emperors' eyes to tremble. The Eight Gates Heavenly Demon Lock Chain sealing technique!
