Chapter 1269: Nine Nether Demon Emperor's Successor

At this moment, countless people looked up into the void. Two figures were ascending, gradually reaching the boundless and vast expanse of the sky.

Lin Feng sat astride Qiongqi, his heart pounding wildly. He had never climbed to such a height before, and before him stood a Demon Emperor, along with the Nine Nether Spring.

"Boom!" Terrifying demonic aura rolled violently. Faint, desolate musical notes drifted into his ears. His entire body was shrouded in demonic energy, as if he were about to fall into the demonic path.

Finally, he arrived below the Nine Nether Demon Emperor and clearly saw that terrifying demonic figure. It was merely a wisp of demonic will that had lingered for a thousand years. This demonic will held an infinite attachment to a beloved, the overwhelming demonic aura that moved the Nine Nether with a single melody, and the peerless bearing that could extinguish a Martial Emperor with a single glance. It was nothing but a lingering obsession!

"Nine Nether Demon Emperor, do you still remember the Flame Emperor of days past?" Qiongqi raised his head, gazing at the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, communicating through divine thought.

"Flame Emperor!" A voice echoed in the minds of Lin Feng and the Flame Emperor. The Nine Nether Demon Emperor's obsession slightly lowered its head, glancing at Lin Feng and the Flame Emperor. This caused Lin Feng's soul to tremble, his demonic aura churning wildly and uncontrollably, as if it were about to be seized by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's obsession.

The Nine Nether Demon Emperor could control the demonic intent within him with just a single glance. Such was the overwhelming power of his demonic path.

"Yes, the Flame Emperor." Qiongqi's gaze fixed on the Nine Nether Demon Emperor as he communicated through divine thought: "In the past, you were willing to fall for the Xi Emperor. Otherwise, who could have sealed you? Yet now, the Xi Emperor has been reborn, and you are nothing but a wisp of obsession that has lingered for a thousand years!"

"The Xi Emperor reborn!" A terrifying demonic light suddenly shot from the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's eyes. At that moment, demonic clouds churned across the entire sky above Snow Moon, incredibly fearsome.

"Yes. Peek into his spirit, and you will know everything!" the Flame Emperor said to the Nine Nether Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor's head moved slightly, and then his pitch-black demonic pupils fell upon Lin Feng.

"Boom!" A wisp of demonic will surged into Lin Feng's mind. Lin Feng's entire body trembled violently, his soul quaking, but he was powerless to resist. Facing the obsession of a Demon Emperor, he had no means of fighting back.

"Why?" the Nine Nether Demon Emperor murmured to himself, lifting his head and letting out a sigh. He had seen everything about Lin Feng.

"The Xi Emperor has been reborn. Your demonic obsession should dissipate. But the Nine Nether Demon Melody must not end. I have found a successor for you. What do you think?" the Flame Emperor said sharply, transmitting his thoughts.

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" the Nine Nether Demon Emperor said coldly. His mere words made Lin Feng's heart tremble. If the Demon Emperor decided to act, he would surely die.

"You won't. Why not merge your obsession into his body and let it dissipate within him? From now on, you will accompany the Xi Emperor for the rest of her life through him!" Qiongqi spoke again, causing the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's eyes to become vacant. Accompany the Xi Emperor through Lin Feng's body?

Lowering his head, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor glanced at the person in his arms, a deep sorrow flowing in his heart.

"Boom!" At that moment, Lin Feng felt an invisible giant hand seize his body and then fling him violently. His body plunged into the Nine Nether Spring.

"Nine melodies of heaven and earth, the Nine Nether shall never end!" the Nine Nether Demon Emperor uttered. Then Lin Feng felt the Nine Nether Spring water flowing over his body, not destroying him, but transforming into beautiful musical notes that continuously poured into his mind.

Lin Feng's body trembled. He understood that the Flame Emperor had succeeded. But in his heart, he silently cursed the old bastard. That old scoundrel had no absolute certainty—he was gambling with Lin Feng's life!

Closing his eyes, Lin Feng sat cross-legged in the Nine Nether Spring. The strands of spring water continuously washed over his body, and endless wondrous melodies drifted into his mind, dancing and resonating within his thoughts.

At this moment, the crowd below felt their hearts tremble. What had happened? Why was Lin Feng now sitting cross-legged in the Nine Nether Spring?

Only Qiongqi, the Flame Emperor, and Lin Feng knew of the divine thought exchange between Qiongqi and the Demon Emperor. No one else knew what had occurred. Now, the people of Snow Moon Kingdom all looked up, gazing at the strange sight in the void. They saw Lin Feng, the sovereign of Snow Moon, sitting cross-legged in the Nine Nether Spring.

In the Imperial Palace, countless people were extremely worried, their faces pale. Lin Feng, please don't let anything happen.

Meanwhile, Qiongqi in the sky was also drenched in sweat. He was gambling—gambling on the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's feelings for the Xi Emperor.

"You're right. The nine melodies of heaven and earth, the Nine Nether should not end. But even if the Xi Emperor is reborn, she is no longer the Xi Emperor of old. What meaning is there in me accompanying her by her side? In this life, in this world, it is only for you!" the Nine Nether Demon Emperor said, looking down at the person in his arms. A generation of Demon Emperor, yet as gentle as water. The rolling Nine Nether Demon Melody still echoed through heaven and earth, filled with deep sorrow.

"My beloved is gone. What use is it to guard a grave?" the Nine Nether Demon Emperor said, looking down at the massive seal below. His voice no longer held any attachment.

Finally, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor looked at Lin Feng and said, "When the Nine Nether Demon Melody shakes the Nine Heavens in the future, if you have the heart, kill the Three Lives for me!"

As his voice fell, a terrifying wisp of will shot from the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's mind into Lin Feng's brow. Then the sky trembled. The Nine Nether Demon Emperor's body moved. With a single step, heaven and earth moved with him. But the next moment, he had vanished without a trace. He was gone.

"Though you have fallen, I will still accompany your broken body. Until the earth ages and the sky grows old, my obsession remains!" Rolling voices followed the demonic melody, heartbreaking. The Demon Emperor's figure completely disappeared. The endless demonic aura in heaven and earth finally dissipated. The Nine Nether Demon Melody scattered, the Nine Nether Spring vanished. But in Lin Feng's mind, countless musical notes still danced endlessly, forever etched in his thoughts.

At his brow, a terrifying wisp of demonic will was incredibly powerful. Even in his eyes, there seemed to be fearsome demonic light, containing an immensely powerful demonic intent.

When the Nine Nether Demon Emperor departed, he left a wisp of will upon Lin Feng.

"When the Nine Nether Demon Melody shakes the Nine Heavens in the future, if you have the heart, kill the Three Lives for me!"

Lin Feng murmured softly. This was the voice left by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor. Three Lives must refer to the Three Lives Great Emperor. But what was the relationship between the Three Lives Demon Emperor, the Demon Sealing Great Emperor, the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, and the Xi Emperor? Who had left that tombstone? The Demon Sealing Great Emperor had sealed the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, yet why did the latter want to kill the Three Lives? And from his conversation with the Flame Emperor, it seemed the Nine Nether Demon Emperor had already wanted to accompany the Xi Emperor in death. Had he deliberately allowed the Demon Sealing Great Emperor to seal him?

"Your obsession still remains. This wisp of obsession that could tear through the sky—where will it go now?" Lin Feng looked at the already vanished figure, feeling a sense of loss.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Below, terrifying sounds rolled forth, startling Lin Feng and the others. They looked toward the sealed land. Both above and within the seal, people were attacking it. The cracks were growing more intense, and it could break at any moment.

"Break for me!" At this moment, the Peng Emperor seemed to have fallen into the demonic path. His unruly aura shot straight into the sky. Endless golden light, tinged with dark demonic intent, continuously rolled down from the sky, striking the seal.

The other seven Martial Emperors were the same, frantically attacking the seal. It was already close to shattering. The fact that a wisp of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's obsession could already break out of the seal showed that it was no longer intact.

"Boom!" Finally, endless demonic patterns surged into the sky. At that moment, a destructive aura rushed straight into the heavens. It shattered. The seal finally broke. The demonic patterns disintegrated. The pitch-black tungsten armor completely collapsed. Endless terrifying auras surged into the sky—vast, surging, and powerful!

"Who can stop me!" The Golden-Winged Great Roc, having broken the seal, transformed into a hundred-meter-long body and soared upward. Demonic and monstrous aura rolled endlessly, reaching its peak.

The other Martial Emperors also broke free, but they clearly did not possess the terrifying aura of the Peng Emperor. Their auras fluctuated, and their faces were slightly pale.

"Damn seal, I'm finally out!"

"Hahaha, the seal is finally broken!"

"The Xi Emperor is dead, the Demon Emperor is gone. Who can stop me!"

Voices shot into the Nine Heavens, shaking heaven and earth. Qiongqi and Lin Feng quickly fled, heading into the distance.

At this moment, countless people bowed their heads, looking at the broken seal. Their hearts twitched violently, deeply shaken.

Waves of surging spiritual energy rushed toward the sky, transforming into endless light that seemed to spread to every corner of Snow Moon. Boundless and vast palaces continuously rose from below the sealed land, appearing!

"Tomb raiding. No wonder that bastard Qiongqi wanted to raid the tomb. This tomb clearly seals a small world of the Xi Emperor and the Nine Nether Demon Emperor!" Lin Feng's mind trembled. The tomb sealed an entire world!

"Thanks to 'I Am Your Brother Wu' for the 588 waves of currency reward; 'Monologue.' for the 100 waves of currency reward; 'silljimhua' for the 100 waves of currency reward; 'Falling Star 111' for the 100 waves of currency reward; 'Wild Star' for the 588*5 waves of currency reward.
