# Chapter 1321: Is Lin Feng Dead?
The Skyless Sword seemed to understand Emperor Qi's words, spitting out terrifying light as surging thunderbolts shot toward Emperor Qi with overwhelming power.
"Beast!" Emperor Qi snorted coldly. His hand clenched, and instantly the surging thunderbolts seemed to freeze in the void, stopping right where they were, as if time itself had stood still.
Then, the Skyless Sword let out a furious roar. Ten-thousand-foot beams of light pulsed violently as the void split open. The Skyless Sword directly drilled into the crack, causing a sharp gleam to flash through Emperor Qi's eyes. This Skyless Sword actually knew how to escape.
"Open!" Emperor Qi's hand trembled, striking the spot where the Skyless Sword had just drilled into, tearing open a crack in the void. His body then directly submerged into it.
"Whoosh!" The moment Emperor Qi entered the void, the Skyless Sword burst out from another location, then howled into the distance. The next instant, it directly drilled into the void again.
"What a clever sword. It truly has gained sentience!" Emperor Yu's gaze followed the Skyless Sword into the distance. The Skyless Sword Emperor's sword was indeed extraordinary. Within the void space, if the position was even slightly off, it could be an entirely different space. The coordinates were completely different from the outside world, which meant that by using this method to escape, it would be very difficult for Emperor Qi to catch the Skyless Sword. Perhaps the next time the Skyless Sword jumped out, it would be a thousand miles away. The corresponding coordinates in the void were completely different from the outside world.
For example, the Northern Wasteland was infinitely far from the Central Wasteland, but if one could find the void coordinates within the space crack, perhaps they could cross these two regions in an instant.
Soon, Emperor Qi's figure emerged again, but his expression was extremely ugly. He had actually been toyed with by a sword.
"Wretched beast, I will personally go to the Sword Pavilion to retrieve you!" Emperor Qi snorted coldly. His hand trembled, and boundless pressure descended toward the ground below. A thunderous explosion rang out as a mountain peak beneath him directly exploded. Emperor Qi was very displeased. The Skyless Sword had actually escaped.
After venting his anger, Emperor Qi's gaze fell on Emperor Yu again. Seeing that the Heavenly Terrace had only lost Lin Feng, a cold gleam flashed through his eyes, but the corners of his mouth held a hint of cold smile. "Heavenly Terrace, only one person died. Quite lucky."
"You flatter me with your concern, Emperor Qi," Emperor Yu said calmly. Then Emperor Qi waved his hand, and his vast aura wrapped around the bodies of the surviving Qi family members. "Let's go!"
With that, light flashed, and Emperor Qi led the remaining Qi family members away. Although the Qi family had lost some experts, at least they had taken Lin Feng's life. What did it matter if his talent was extraordinary? He was dead. This was the price of offending the Qi family.
However, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor did not leave. He remained where he was, showing no intention of departing. His blood-red robe fluttered in the void, and his majestic eyes were fixed on Emperor Yu.
"Is there something else, Heavenly Dragon Emperor?" Emperor Yu asked indifferently.
"Nothing. I'll wait for the Heavenly Terrace to leave first," the Heavenly Dragon Emperor said with a smile.
"Since when did the Heavenly Dragon Emperor become so polite?" Emperor Yu's eyes flashed with cold light. This Heavenly Dragon Emperor wasn't waiting for him to leave first; he was watching him, preventing him from stepping into the void space to rescue Lin Feng. After all, Martial Emperors could enter the void space. If Emperor Qi had stepped into the crack and found Lin Feng's coordinates, he could have brought him back. But he had to wait a little longer. Perhaps Lin Feng was lucky and hadn't died yet.
"I have always respected Emperor Yu," the Heavenly Dragon Emperor said with a fake smile, his tone light and casual. In truth, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor was very displeased right now. His Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress had suffered no small losses, while the Heavenly Terrace had only lost Lin Feng. It was all that bastard Qi Qianxing's fault for being too slow at killing. And then there were the Skyless Sword and Mu Chen, who were too powerful. With such a strong lineup, and with him and Emperor Qi personally present to guard against the Heavenly Terrace's two Emperors, they still hadn't managed to wipe out the Heavenly Terrace. What a pity.
But since the Skyless Sword had returned, Emperor Qi would go to the Sword Pavilion, and Lin Feng was dead. One future threat was eliminated, which wasn't bad. As for the few people the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress had lost, he didn't care. After all, Imperial forces were different from Imperial families. Those people didn't share his bloodline. If one batch died, another could replace them. The Eight Wastelands Realm didn't lack Venerables; what it lacked were truly talented Venerables.
In this regard, the Heavenly Terrace seemed to have done exceptionally well.
The two sides remained deadlocked for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. Emperor Yu snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve. "The Heavenly Terrace will remember today's events!"
With that, Emperor Yu wrapped up the Heavenly Terrace members and rolled away, returning to the Heavenly Terrace.
Seeing Emperor Yu leave, a genuine smile finally appeared on the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's face. Seeing Emperor Yu suffer a loss seemed to bring him considerable satisfaction.
"Jing Gu, you still need more training. You saw Qi Qianxing's strength. An Invincible Sovereign Lord can easily kill you. And Mu Chen's strength is only greater than Qi Qianxing's," the Heavenly Dragon Emperor said to Jing Gu, not scolding him. Since things had come to this, he knew scolding would be useless.
"Yes, Master!" Jing Gu bowed respectfully. He himself knew he wasn't strong enough. Even dealing with Hou Qinglin, who had just stepped into the Sovereign Lord realm, was difficult. And with Hou Qinglin's talent, he would likely become an Invincible Sovereign Lord in the future, extremely hard to deal with.
"Mm." The Heavenly Dragon Emperor nodded slightly and said nothing more. Moreover, he still didn't leave. This showed how cautious the Heavenly Dragon Emperor was. After another incense stick's time, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor finally led the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's experts away. Lin Feng had fallen into the void space for so long; there was no way he could still be alive.
A day later, news of the battle outside Tianyuan City spread throughout the Eight Wastelands Realm at an alarming speed. After all, this incident was definitely a typical example. The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, the Heavenly Terrace, and the Qi family—three Imperial forces clashing, with three Emperors appearing together—reflected the current turmoil across the entire Eight Wastelands Realm.
Moreover, after this battle, the Yang clan was almost completely annihilated, disappearing from the stage of the Northern Wasteland. As for the Xuanyuan family, after the battle, Heavenly Terrace experts went to the Xuanyuan family and swept through it. The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress didn't bother with the Xuanyuan family at all. This made many people feel a sense of sorrow at the fox's death. Imperial forces were ultimately Imperial forces. Some aristocratic families should not provoke them. If something happened, the weak would always suffer.
The Yang clan and the Xuanyuan family were perfect examples.
Lin Feng's death also caused quite a stir in the Eight Wastelands Realm, with countless people sighing in regret. A prodigy who should have roamed the Eight Wastelands Realm in the future had been wiped out like this. What a pity. With Lin Feng's terrifying talent, his achievements should have been immeasurable. Many had wanted to see his future, but in the end, he hadn't been able to grow up. He had died prematurely.
Of course, to eliminate Lin Feng, the lineup deployed by the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and the Qi family was indeed terrifying. An Invincible Sovereign Lord had personally acted, and in the end, both Imperial forces had suffered heavy losses. But the crowd felt that for the Qi family and the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, it was worth it. They had eliminated a future threat that could have endangered them.
Although the Qi family and the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's methods were criticized, from a rational standpoint, they had done the right thing. They had used a huge price to eliminate a pillar of the Heavenly Terrace's future.
If the Qi family had continued with their previous small-scale tactics, the outcome would likely have been the same as before. Not only would they have failed to kill Lin Feng, but they would have lost their own troops and generals.
Just as this news was sweeping through the Eight Wastelands Realm, another huge storm of news began to spread from the Central Wasteland. Emperor Qi of the Qi family had stepped into the Sword Pavilion to seize the Skyless Sword that had fled there, intending to forcefully take it. But the result was that Emperor Qi entered domineeringly but walked out very quietly. He didn't get the Skyless Sword, nor did he touch a single hair of the Sword Pavilion.
This news was quite thought-provoking. What had Emperor Qi encountered inside the Sword Pavilion?
Now that the Skyless Sword had returned to the Sword Pavilion, who was actually controlling it?
And why, over so many years, had countless forces coveted the Sword Pavilion, yet it had always stood firm in Sword City? Was the reason related to what Emperor Qi had encountered when he entered the Sword Pavilion?
Of course, the crowd could only speculate. Those who truly knew the truth were probably only Emperor Qi, who had entered the Sword Pavilion yesterday, and the Sword Pavilion itself. However, the truth was that even the Sword Pavilion itself didn't know!
Although the Sword Pavilion was very surprised that the Skyless Sword had returned to the Sword Pavilion—why had it come back? Wasn't the ancestor's sword supposed to have possessed Lin Feng and be inside the young master's body?
Of course, despite their doubts, the Sword Pavilion always believed that Lin Feng wouldn't die so easily. Although this belief seemed somewhat blind, if one considered that the Sword Pavilion had placed all its hopes on Lin Feng, everything became understandable. After all, the Sword Tomb and the Sword Pavilion's experts had followed Lin Feng for a time. They had been shaken by the young master's talent. One day, he would surely restore the Sword Pavilion's glory!
The news of Lin Feng's death spread. The Xuanyuan family and the Yang clan couldn't enjoy any joy because they had already been destroyed.
In the Central Wasteland, the Sikong family. Sikong Xiaotian's eyes were sharp as he gazed into the void. He sighed, "What a pity for a genius!"
At the Wen family, Wen Tiange and Wen Aoxue sat side by side atop a great hall. Wen Tiange looked at the void and murmured to himself, "Will you die just like that?"
"Perhaps a miracle might happen," Wen Aoxue said, a hint of brilliance flashing in her womanly eyes.
At the Demon Emperor Hall, on a golden mountain range, endless golden aura was vast and terrifying. The Golden-Winged Great Roc's body was like cast gold, its sharp eyes seeming to see through everything. "What a pity I couldn't personally kill you!"
At the Sky Dome Immortal Palace, Holy Maiden Xue Biyao stood in the picturesque immortal mist and sighed.
At Qifeng Mountain, two peerlessly beautiful women gazed into the distance, silent for a long time.
In the Northern Wasteland, at the Qiu family, within an elegant room, a terrifying aura of mercilessness suddenly shot into the sky, shaking the Qiu family members until they felt their bodies turn cold!
