# Chapter 1290: Yan Di Borrows Martial Soul
"There's still a glimmer of hope!" Lin Feng's eyes congealed. Such terrifying flames—could this old bastard actually step into the Nine Nether Demon Lotus that could even incinerate a Sovereign Lord?
"Lin Feng, how about we discuss something?" Qiongqi's voice suddenly became a few degrees gentler, causing Lin Feng's gaze to stiffen abruptly. Something was wrong!
"What is it?" Lin Feng said warily.
"Besides your Nine Dragons Heaven Devour martial soul, do you have another one?" Qiongqi's enormous eyes flickered as he glanced toward Lin Feng, those massive ferocious pupils narrowing slightly.
Lin Feng's heart trembled. This old bastard—the fact that he possessed another martial soul was unknown even to his parents and relatives. Apart from the lingering divine thought of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor who had once peered into his memories, no one else should know. Moreover, he had never released it. How did Qiongqi, that bastard, know?
"Indeed!" Qiongqi's huge eyes congealed. Judging by Lin Feng's expression, he had guessed correctly. No wonder... Qiongqi recalled the words the Nine Nether Demon Emperor had spoken upon leaving: "One day, the Nine Nether Demon Melody will startle the Nine Heavens. If you have the will, kill Sansheng for me."
Kill Sansheng—that was the Sansheng Great Emperor. What gave the Nine Nether Demon Emperor the audacity to speak such arrogant words after peering into Lin Feng? Although the Nine Nether Demon Emperor had cultivated the Nine Nether Demon Melody, even if his true self stood before the Sansheng Great Emperor, he still couldn't contend, let alone with Lin Feng, who was now like an ant in the eyes of a Great Emperor.
Lin Feng glanced at Qiongqi and saw the bastard's squinting eyes. His heart tightened—this old bastard was bluffing him.
"What does this have to do with my martial soul?" Lin Feng didn't respond to Qiongqi's question but asked instead.
"Of course it does. Let me ask you—does your martial soul contain a piece of land?" Qiongqi asked again, making Lin Feng's heart tremble once more. This old bastard seemed to know far too much. His Heavenly Book martial soul did indeed contain a desolate wasteland.
"I'm asking you what this has to do with my martial soul!" Lin Feng still ignored Qiongqi. What scheme was this bastard plotting, to actually think of his martial soul?
"Bastard, I'm doing this for your own good. I'm helping you obtain this Nine Nether Demon Lotus!" Qiongqi cursed softly. "Answer me properly—does it or doesn't it?"
"I don't believe you!" Lin Feng couldn't be bothered with this guy and shot him a contemptuous look. Not long ago, this old bastard had tricked eight Martial Emperors, sending them before the Nine Nether Demon Emperor, nearly getting him killed too.
Qiongqi's huge eyes stiffened, and he felt the urge to beat Lin Feng up. But judging by Lin Feng's reaction, he had probably guessed correctly again. Perhaps his martial soul really did contain a piece of land.
"So it really is that kind of constitution!" Qiongqi murmured to himself. Although he had speculated before, he had never been certain. That kind of constitution couldn't be seen—only by truly understanding Lin Feng could one infer it. He had only developed that suspicion after being in contact with Lin Feng for a long time.
Moreover, combined with the words of that old bastard in the Fate Temple, it was eighty percent certain. As for how the Prophet knew, Qiongqi didn't believe in his so-called prophetic nonsense. It was simply because everything Lin Feng had done in the Fate Temple had fallen under the other's gaze. Based on Lin Feng's actions there, it wasn't difficult for the Prophet to make such a deduction.
As for prophetic achievements, Qiongqi did believe in them. After all, the Prophet cultivated the art of Heavenly Fate, and combined with the keen insight of an expert at that level, predicting a martial artist's future achievements wasn't difficult.
"As long as we get the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, we can drive everyone from this small world out of the Snow Moon Kingdom. Moreover, these two small worlds will be yours from now on. The Snow Moon Kingdom will be yours to command." Qiongqi transmitted again, making Lin Feng's heart quite tempted.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Feng's eyes flickered. "Conditions!"
"After obtaining the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, you need to let me refine it. From then on, everything else in this small world is yours. How about it?" Qiongqi's eyes blazed with fervent desire, making Lin Feng look suspicious. It seemed this guy was genuinely interested in the Nine Nether Demon Lotus. The Nine Nether Demon Lotus was a lotus born from Nine Nether Fire, and Qiongqi, as the Flame Emperor, was most skilled with flames.
"Don't you want the Three Lives Scripture anymore?" Lin Feng asked.
"We don't know if we can find the Three Lives Scripture yet. If you're lucky enough to get it, it's yours!" Qiongqi said generously. What he wanted most right now was this Incinerating Heaven Demon Flame.
"Don't worry, I'm your Dao Protector. How could I harm you? Once I refine the Nine Nether Demon Lotus, I'll set up a massive Demon Fire Grand Array around the small world. From then on, unless a Martial Emperor comes, no one can invade." The Flame Emperor continued tempting, making Lin Feng's eyes flash with sharpness as he uttered a single word: "Deal!"
"What do I need to do?" Lin Feng asked again. He didn't know what use his martial soul was, but this guy seemed very interested in it.
"Don't you have the Skyless Sword? First drive everyone away!"
"Get lost!" Lin Feng cursed softly. This old bastard's calculations were too clever—he wanted to use his Skyless Sword too. With only two chances left, Lin Feng didn't want to waste another one.
"Handle this yourself, or I'll take back what I just said!" Lin Feng continued transmitting. Since this guy wanted the Nine Nether Demon Lotus so badly, Lin Feng believed he would find a way to drive the crowd away. How could he possibly use the Skyless Sword?
Qiongqi's eyes flashed with cunning. "Does using the Skyless Sword have some limitation?"
"You're asking too many questions!" Lin Feng replied. "If we keep talking, I'm afraid I'll change my mind!"
"Fine, you win. I'll do it myself!" Qiongqi cursed softly. Then his massive body swaggered away, circling the terrifying Nine Nether Demon Lotus. Lin Feng guessed this bastard was preparing to borrow the surging demon flames around the Nine Nether Demon Lotus again.
As long as there was fire, this guy could use it.
"Doesn't the Qi family's bloodline martial soul create its own space? Why not try it?" At this moment, rolling voices came from the void. It was a Sovereign Lord from the Wen family. The battle between the Qi family Martial Emperor and the Wen family Martial Emperor had created deep contradictions and true enmity between the Qi and Wen families.
A Sovereign Lord from the Qi family had a hawkish expression as he coldly swept his gaze over the Wen family Sovereign Lord, feeling quite tempted.
With a step forward, the Qi family Sovereign Lord's body erupted with the roaring sound of surging oceans. In that moment, with him at the center, radiant light burst forth in all directions. Strands of golden spatial threads surged from his body, manifesting as his bloodline martial soul—a spatial diagram, similar to Qi Tiansheng's martial soul but even stronger.
The Qi family's imperial artifact, the Heaven-Swallowing Chart, was said to have been refined by a past Qi family Martial Emperor based on the power of their martial soul.
"Go!"
The Qi family Sovereign Lord shouted loudly. Instantly, the endless spatial threads transformed into dazzling golden filaments, winding downward. At the same time, the martial soul swayed in the void, moving with the wind, its spatial power extremely formidable.
"Rustle!" Thousands of spatial threads descended. The Qi family Sovereign Lord stood in the terrifying dark sky, his martial soul power penetrating toward the Nine Nether Demon Lotus below.
"Whoosh!" A wisp of terrifying dark demon flame climbed up those golden threads. In an instant, all the spatial threads were covered in demon flames, surging upward, straight toward the Qi family Sovereign Lord's martial soul.
"Even spatial power is being burned! Such terrifying demon flames! If the Qi family Sovereign Lord's bloodline martial soul gets any closer, it will likely be directly incinerated!" The crowd was shocked. They saw the Qi family Sovereign Lord's body shoot into the sky, fleeing far from the terrifying flames. He even directly severed the thousands of spatial threads that had been attached with demon flames, his face pale.
"Failed. The Qi family Sovereign Lord's martial soul is still far from enough!" Everyone stared at the terrifying nine-leaf lotus demon flames below. Even a Sovereign Lord approaching would be burned to death.
But at that moment, another figure stepped forward, wanting to try.
"A Sovereign Lord from the Flame Mountain!" Everyone's eyes congealed. The Flame Emperor of Flame Mountain was the strongest fire user in the Eight Wastelands. Could his subordinate Sovereign Lord handle these demon flames?
This Flame Mountain Sovereign Lord stepped through the void. With a thought, everyone saw nine sun patterns appear in the void, dazzling and brilliant. The sun patterns spun wildly, as if nine real suns were illuminating this land, even driving away some of the demon flames' dark aura.
"The Flame Mountain Sovereign Lord's fire driving ability is indeed formidable!" The crowd thought to themselves. They saw the nine suns growing increasingly scorching hot, seemingly able to draw the demon flame aura in the void into the sun patterns.
"Nine Suns Yang Fire, devour!" The Sovereign Lord shouted coldly. The nine suns spun wildly around his body, devouring the demon flame aura in the void, turning it into his own flames. The nine suns grew more and more dazzling.
"Can he really devour it?" Everyone's eyes congealed. They saw the nine sun patterns spinning furiously, continuously descending, swallowing the demon flames, as if trying to devour the terrifying nine-leaf demon flames too.
Qiongqi raised his head, his huge eyes looking at the nine flames, revealing a disdainful expression. An ant trying to shake a tree—overestimating oneself!
Raising his foot, Qiongqi stomped heavily on the ground. It seemed to trigger something. Wispy terrifying patterns surged toward the Nine Nether Demon Lotus. In an instant, the Nine Nether Demon Lotus was triggered. The nine leaves slightly opened, and in that moment, the nine lotus petals expanded toward the void, transforming into nine incomparably massive demon flame petals. Everyone dodged, frantically retreating.
Those nine demon flame petals were about to swallow the entire void. Indeed, when the nine sun patterns collided with the nine petals, they were instantly devoured, leaving nothing behind. The Sovereign Lord's face turned deathly pale as his body shot into the clouds, fleeing. Otherwise, he too would have been swallowed by the expanding nine petals.
"So terrifying!" Everyone's expressions stiffened. They saw the nine petals, after devouring all the flames, slowly sink back down, quietly returning to the deep ground, still blooming with dazzling dark demon intent.
