Chapter 1271: For the Three Lives Scripture
"Ran away!" The crowd's expressions stiffened. All the Martial Emperors had vanished in an instant, driven back by a single word from the powerful figure in the sky.
"Who is he?" Lin Feng also looked up at the terrifying expert in the void. Another fearsome Great Emperor had appeared. Today, he had witnessed the obsession of a Demon Emperor, and now, he was seeing a half-Great Emperor.
"What do you think?" Qiongqi transmitted his reply to Lin Feng, leaving Lin Feng silent in contemplation. The seal had been broken for a short time, and after the Nine Nether Demon Emperor departed, this Great Emperor's phantom appeared. Undoubtedly, he had sensed the seal's rupture and descended here.
"The Demon Sealing Great Emperor, perhaps?" Lin Feng murmured softly. Qiongqi did not respond again, and Lin Feng did not press further. But without a doubt, this person was either the Demon Sealing Great Emperor or the one who carved the words on the Xi Emperor's tombstone—the Emperor's Daughter, Xi Emperor's Tomb. Because these experts had only touched the seal and the tombstone. A Great Emperor-level expert could not possibly have appeared in the Snow Moon Kingdom out of thin air. There must have been a mark left on the seal or the tombstone.
However, Lin Feng still did not know whether the Demon Sealing Great Emperor and the one who carved the words were the same person. And what role did the Three Lives Great Emperor play in all this, causing the Nine Nether Demon Emperor to transform into a millennium-old obsession, never forgetting to remind him: "One day, when the Nine Nether Demon Melody shakes the Nine Heavens, if you have the heart, slay Three Lives for me!"
But how terrifyingly powerful was the Three Lives Great Emperor? Even though the Nine Nether Demon Melody was one of the nine supreme melodies of heaven and earth, by the time Lin Feng cultivated it to its peak, who knew how long that would take. The Three Lives Demon Emperor's fame shook the Nine Heavens; his terror was surely beyond imagination.
At this moment, the supreme expert in the void swept his gaze over the crowd, causing everyone's hearts to tremble. If this supreme expert became angry, they would all die without a burial place.
Finally, the expert's gaze fell upon the two expanding small worlds. He couldn't help but let out a sigh. Since things had come to this, let fate take its course.
"Small nations are fragile. Even if you contend for precious treasures, you must not shake the foundations of these small nations or harm the people!" A voice emerged from the figure in the void, trembling through the Snow Moon Kingdom. Those below nodded in succession, not daring to show the slightest defiance.
The wind howled, and the terrifying clouds in the sky rolled violently, engulfing that face. It seemed to transform into a terrifying vortex. When the face completely disappeared, the sky above the Snow Moon Kingdom gradually returned to calm. The Great Emperor had left, the Martial Emperors had departed, and now, only Venerable experts roamed freely.
"It seems he deliberately helped the Snow Moon Kingdom," Lin Feng murmured, feeling a strange illusion. He wasn't sure if it was accurate, but that Great Emperor had driven away the Martial Emperors and ordered everyone not to harm the people or shake the Snow Moon Kingdom's foundations.
This was a Great Emperor-level expert. With a single thought, he could easily destroy a small nation like the Snow Moon Kingdom. Yet he spoke of humanity. Lin Feng didn't believe that these supreme experts had any humanity in their hearts. On the path to becoming a strong expert, who didn't trample over countless corpses? To achieve the Emperor position, one's hands were stained with endless blood.
"To him, it was just a simple gesture," Qiongqi said in a low voice. Lin Feng nodded slightly. He himself couldn't help the Snow Moon Kingdom, but for that terrifying Great Emperor, a single action or word was enough to spare the Snow Moon Kingdom from disaster.
"We should get down to business," Qiongqi said, his enormous eyes flickering with a glint of greed. Lin Feng secretly felt contempt. This bastard had been thinking about tomb raiding a thousand years ago, and after a millennium, his thieving heart remained unchanged. Thinking of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's peerless bearing and the just-departed Great Emperor's domineering presence, this Flame Emperor... was truly somewhat pathetic!
"There is also a huge gap between Great Emperors," Lin Feng could only think this way. Just as there were ranks among Martial Emperors, the gap in strength between different ranks of Martial Emperors was probably insurmountable.
"Lin Feng, find the bedchamber where the Xi Emperor lived. The Xi Emperor possesses several supreme Emperor Scriptures," Qiongqi said, his body soaring into the air for a broader view. His enormous eyes seemed to pierce through the vast bedchamber spanning thousands of miles.
"Several Emperor Scriptures!" Lin Feng's expression tightened. Great Emperor scriptures were not so easily obtained. Was the Xi Emperor a peak Martial Emperor? How could she possess several Emperor Scriptures?
"Do you think becoming a Great Emperor is that easy? The Xi Emperor had unparalleled talent, simultaneously comprehending several Emperor Scriptures in pursuit of her own Dao. But in the end, she still sacrificed her life for the Great Dao. As a female Emperor, what boldness! Few throughout history dared to do such a thing. With this death, who could know what the future holds!"
The two communicated through voice transmission. They couldn't let anyone else hear their words, or there would be big trouble. Moreover, that bastard Qiongqi had tricked eight Martial Emperors into loosening the seal, allowing the Nine Nether Demon Emperor to escape. Those eight Martial Emperors still held a grudge over this account. If they found out that Qiongqi was that stinking Daoist, they would skin him alive. Lin Feng shuddered just thinking about it. They absolutely couldn't let the truth come to light. Offending eight Martial Emperors—Lin Feng didn't dare imagine the consequences. Only that bastard Qiongqi would dare to do such a thing.
"Boom!" A terrifying explosive sound rang out. Below, in one direction, people had already started fighting, seemingly contending for something.
"Let's check it out!" Qiongqi and Lin Feng flickered and rushed over. Soon, they found that the crowd was fighting over a jade wall in one of the palaces. The jade wall seemed to have several patterns, apparently carved by the Xi Emperor during her enlightenment.
"Not interested!" Qiongqi directly turned away. He was once a Great Emperor, so the patterns carved by the Xi Emperor during her enlightenment were of little use to him. His goal was the Emperor Scriptures.
However, searching for Emperor Scriptures that might not even exist across a palace spanning thousands of miles was no easy task.
"Search separately for more chances. Remember, the Xi Emperor's Palace—perhaps you can find the complete Three Lives Scripture!" Qiongqi's enormous eyes revealed a hint of hope. The Three Lives Scripture, the Emperor Scripture cultivated by the Three Lives Great Emperor—how powerful was it? Hearing his words, Lin Feng finally knew what this bastard was after!
Robbing the Xi Emperor's tomb, all for the Three Lives Scripture!
"Why would the Three Lives Scripture be in the Xi Emperor's tomb?" Lin Feng asked Qiongqi, who was heading in the opposite direction.
"You know too much!" Qiongqi replied to Lin Feng, making Lin Feng grit his teeth. This old bastard wouldn't tell him. Was this the key to the Three Lives Great Emperor's involvement in this matter?
"The Three Lives Scripture!" Lin Feng's eyes flickered with sharp light. How could he not want to obtain such an Emperor Scripture?
The Three Lives Great Emperor could transform into three, three bodies equivalent to three Great Emperors—how terrifying was that!
If he cultivated the Three Lives Scripture and manifested three bodies, from then on, one becoming three, his combat power would increase by more than threefold.
The Celestial Fate Sword was drawn, and Lin Feng held it in his hand. In this vast and endless Xi Emperor small world, there were experts from various major forces. He had to be cautious.
"Bedchamber!" Lin Feng gazed at the small world below, thinking. That bastard Qiongqi wanted to find the Three Lives Scripture by locating the Xi Emperor's bedchamber. But if he were the Xi Emperor, where would he place the most precious items?
"If it were me, I would naturally put the most important treasures in a storage ring and carry them with me," Lin Feng murmured to himself. This was beyond doubt. Every expert did the same.
"The Xi Emperor's physical body has been taken away by the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's obsession!" Lin Feng was speechless. The Xi Emperor died for the Dao. Before her death, she would certainly have stayed in the small world, waiting to return when the Xi Emperor reappeared. But the Xi Emperor probably never expected that the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, driven mad by love, would steal her body.
"The Nine Nether Demon Emperor himself is already dead. He has no use for the Xi Emperor's possessions. Now, the Xi Emperor's storage ring is either still on her body or abandoned in the small world," Lin Feng smiled bitterly. Deliberately searching would be very difficult. But if he found the Xi Emperor's bedchamber, even without the Three Lives Scripture, he would still find something.
If he discovered an Imperial Artifact, that would be a rare treasure. Given the Xi Emperor's strength, possessing several Emperor Scriptures, she would certainly not lack Imperial Artifacts.
"Xinye loves quiet, elegance, and peace. She likes bamboo groves, flowing water, and mountain cliffs. Yuexin has a cold temperament and is called the Frost Beauty. Clearly, she also likes quiet," Lin Feng murmured, looking toward the vast small world. Soon, he saw a small mountain range in the distance, full of life, with lush ancient trees standing there.
"Whoosh!" Lin Feng's body shot toward that direction like lightning. He wasn't the only one in the void. Many people were flickering and moving, searching for targets to seize treasures. Many had already started fighting, clearly having found something.
Soon, Lin Feng approached that area. The ancient trees reached the sky, indeed like a quiet mountain range, with the sound of flowing water.
"Hmm?" At this moment, beside Lin Feng, a figure rolled forward, releasing a cold aura that descended upon Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked into his eyes and felt a wild, untamed aura. His eyes were like those of a ferocious beast, staring at Lin Feng, making Lin Feng sense a terrifying bloodthirsty intent.
"Scram!" Lin Feng's eyes suddenly turned pitch black, his pupils icy and boundless. An incredibly terrifying demonic intent burst forth. At this moment, the expert opposite felt an endless cold, as if he were in the Nine Nether Purgatory. The Nine Nether spring water continuously corroded his body, trying to annihilate him.
Blood appeared in his eyes, extremely ferocious. His steps also stopped, and his body trembled slightly. Such terrifying demonic intent! That wasn't Lin Feng's demonic intent at all!
"The Nine Nether Demon Emperor!" His body trembled slightly as he looked at Lin Feng, his face pale. The Nine Nether Demon Emperor seemed to have left a wisp of terrifying demonic intent on Lin Feng!
