# Chapter 1347: Divine Envoy
The Ice Emperor glanced around at the crowd and spoke, "Alright, step into the divine temple!"
"Buzz!" The crowd had long been prepared, waiting only for the Ice Emperor's command. Instantly, figures shot forward toward the Ice and Snow Divine Temple, swift as lightning. In just a brief moment, several dozen figures had already set foot inside the temple.
This time, a total of eighty-one people had obtained the quota to enter the temple. No one knew how many of them would eventually walk out.
"My man, let's go in!" Yiren Lei's figure flickered, and together with Lin Feng, she headed toward the temple. Passing through the mist-like gate, the two of them entered the Ice and Snow Divine Temple together.
This was a world of ice and snow, vast and boundless. In the distance, terrifying snowstorms seemed to roar toward them—avalanches, frozen heavens and earth—an utterly horrifying sight.
"Is this inside the divine temple?" Lin Feng murmured softly. The temple was merely a symbol; inside, it contained its own space. He felt as though he hadn't stepped into a temple but had entered an entirely different world.
Not only Lin Feng, but many others who didn't know the wonders within the temple were stunned at this moment, looking quite surprised.
Just then, a figure descended from the void, as if emerging from nothingness. This figure wore a snow-white robe, with snow-white hair and a snow-white beard—his entire being was like snow.
"Welcome to the Ice and Snow Divine Temple. I am the Divine Envoy here, and I will guide you forward!" The old man, completely white, had a faint smile on his brows as he spoke to the crowd.
"Divine Envoy? An envoy of the gods?" Lin Feng's gaze froze. This was like the old man in the Fate Temple of the City of Fate. Did gods truly exist in this world? And divine envoys?
Of course, Lin Feng understood that in this world of martial arts, even if gods did exist, they were merely those whose martial power had reached an extreme, revered as gods by others. Whether emperor or sovereign, all were judged by martial arts, defined and divided by the realms of martial cultivation.
"Yiren Lei." At this moment, a figure stood beside Lin Feng and Yiren Lei. It was none other than the Sixth Prince. His gaze was calm as he looked ahead, but he spoke in a low voice: "Yiren Lei, the reason I stopped you from entering the temple is actually very simple. My father, the Emperor, doesn't want the Snow Lord to know what's inside the temple. Throughout the ages, everyone who has walked out of the temple has been tightly controlled by my father. He wants the Ice and Snow Divine Temple to remain the Snow Lord's obsession!"
Upon hearing the Sixth Prince's words, Yiren Lei's expression remained calm. This was a game between the Ice Emperor and the Snow Lord. The Snow Lord had never entered the Fate Temple, so she wanted to know the hidden world within. However, the Ice Emperor's schemes were unfathomable; he had controlled everyone who had ever walked out of the temple, ensuring that news of the Ice and Snow Divine Temple never leaked out. He deliberately used this point to play his game with the Snow Lord.
Therefore, the Snow Lord had always wanted to send her own people into the temple. If Yiren Lei were to walk out of the temple one day, there was no doubt that the Snow Lord would extract everything she wanted to know from Yiren Lei's mind—the secrets of the Fate Temple, the obsession that had long troubled her heart.
If Yiren Lei truly obtained that mysterious inheritance, the Snow Lord would naturally not hesitate to take it from her, even if Yiren Lei were her own daughter.
"Don't you think you're pitiful? Though you're a princess, you've always been nothing more than a pawn of the Snow Lord," the Sixth Prince spoke again, mocking Yiren Lei.
"What business is it of yours what happens to me?" Yiren Lei replied indifferently.
"Hmph, pitiful one. You've come in here only to seek death. Do you really think I care about you? You're wrong. Now I can tell you clearly: I will have many enemies, and countless people may be stronger than you. You don't carry much weight in my heart. Of course, I wouldn't mind killing you either. Whether it's me or anyone else who has stepped into this temple, they would all be happy to cut you down, letting the Snow Lord's obsession persist for another hundred years!" The Sixth Prince's voice was very soft and fast, but it clearly reached Yiren Lei's and Lin Feng's ears: "Two pitiful souls—you will both die in here!"
Lin Feng paid no attention to the Sixth Prince's threats at all. He only caught one sentence: his enemies would be many, and countless people might be stronger than Yiren Lei. What did that mean?
Also, outside, the Sixth Prince had said that Yiren Lei was not the first to set foot in the Ice and Snow Divine Temple.
"Have you all understood what I mean?" At this moment, the Divine Envoy's voice came. Lin Feng and Yiren Lei turned their gazes to the Divine Envoy. While the Sixth Prince had been speaking, the Divine Envoy had told them that the Ice and Snow Divine Temple had nine layers. Where they were now was only the first layer. Only by passing through this first layer's world could they reach the second layer space of the Ice and Snow Divine Temple.
Of course, they also had another opportunity to skip directly to other layers of the Ice and Snow Divine Temple: challenge. Now, they could step forward and choose to challenge opponents of a higher realm than themselves. If they successfully defeated an opponent one realm higher, they could go directly to the second layer. If they challenged an opponent three realms higher, they could go directly to the fourth layer space of the Ice and Snow Divine Temple.
The opponent for the challenge was the snow-robed old man himself, or rather, his avatar.
"I challenge a Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm opponent!" The Sixth Prince glanced at Lin Feng and Yiren Lei, then stepped forward. His challenge target was directly the Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, crossing two minor realms.
"Let's watch first!" Yiren Lei said softly to Lin Feng. Others, however, had already begun their challenges. The snow-robed old man seemed capable of manifesting thousands of avatars, each using different levels of strength. Whatever realm you challenged, he would transform into an avatar of that realm to fight you.
There were also strength restrictions for entering the Ice and Snow Divine Temple. One had to be below the Sovereign Lord realm. This was an ancient rule of the temple. As long as you were below the Sovereign Lord level, you could enter. Heavenly Martial cultivators could also come in, but that would be suicide—others could crush you with a single finger. Therefore, no Heavenly Martial cultivator would ever step into the Ice and Snow Divine Temple.
Those who stepped forward first to challenge were several of the Ice Emperor's sons, including the Sixth Prince. Their combat power was terrifying, and they were clearly aware of these rules. Thus, this challenge would not go wrong. Sure enough, the four princes who had entered the temple all defeated their respective opponents. The snow-robed old man casually waved his hand, and they vanished from the spot, transported to another space. The earlier one challenged, the earlier one could leave.
"The Sixth Prince's battle was very strong. The Divine Envoy's avatar at the Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm was almost at the peak of that realm, yet the Sixth Prince still won. What level are you planning to challenge?" Lin Feng asked Yiren Lei.
"Sovereign Martial Fifth Layer. I'm quite confident," Yiren Lei said with a smile. Her cultivation was at the Second Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm. If she defeated a Fifth Layer opponent, she would be crossing three realms and could go directly to the fourth layer space of the Ice and Snow Divine Temple.
"Alright, I'll accompany you. I'll challenge the Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, so we can go together," Lin Feng said to Yiren Lei with a smile.
"Thank you, my man!" Yiren Lei hugged Lin Feng with a smile, then her figure flickered as she headed toward the Divine Envoy.
"Senior Divine Envoy, I challenge the Fifth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm!" Yiren Lei said to the Divine Envoy. The Divine Envoy nodded slightly, and instantly manifested a Fifth Layer Sovereign Martial Realm avatar, which directly attacked Yiren Lei.
"Go!" Yiren Lei's gaze trembled, and instantly, a roaring sound rolled forth. Waves of water surged skyward, transforming into an invisible pattern that crashed toward the Divine Envoy.
"Sixth Layer of Essence!" Lin Feng smiled slightly when he saw Yiren Lei's attack. Indulging in desire, the Six Desires Heavenly Technique—it seemed it had indeed been effective. Yiren Lei had clearly gained considerable benefits.
Seeing Yiren Lei use the Sixth Layer of Water Essence, he felt reassured. His figure flickered as he arrived before the Divine Envoy and said, "Senior Divine Envoy, I challenge the Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm!"
"Good!" The Divine Envoy nodded, instantly manifesting a Fourth Layer Sovereign Martial Realm avatar that attacked Lin Feng. The cold ice energy was powerful, freezing the void.
Lin Feng stepped forward, and instantly, vast demonic energy rolled endlessly. The Skyless Great Demon Palm Seal, derived from the Heavenly Derivation Sacred Technique, blasted forth, infused with Primordial Essence and Demonic Essence. Primordial symbolized destruction, while Demonic Essence was domineering, powerful, and destroyed everything, as if it could stack power, making the attack even more formidable.
"Boom, crack!" In the void, vast demonic energy appeared, shattering the frozen world. The Divine Envoy's avatar seemed to grow somewhat interested. A demonic cultivator, and with the strength of the First Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, he could break a Fourth Layer attack with one punch—a decent seedling.
"Barely passable." The Divine Envoy smiled as he advanced. The Fourth Layer Ice and Water Essence was pushed to its limit by him. Traces of vast demonic energy were suppressed and frozen. His eyes also seemed to release ice power, trying to freeze Lin Feng's gaze.
"Just barely passable, huh!" Lin Feng chuckled softly.
"My man, it's time for us to go!" Yiren Lei's crisp voice came, and then she struck ruthlessly, destroying her opponent with overwhelming force.
"Understood!" Lin Feng replied.
"Two arrogant little ones!" The Divine Envoy on Lin Feng's side was stunned for a moment, then the ice in his eyes intensified. Lin Feng only glanced at him, and it felt as if his body was beginning to freeze and solidify—essence released from the eyes.
"Impressive!" Lin Feng laughed heartily. If the Divine Envoy truly wanted to fight, he could easily have a Fourth Layer avatar defeat a Sixth Layer opponent. But the Divine Envoy clearly followed the rules and would not let his avatar exceed the Fourth Layer Sovereign Martial Realm's capabilities.
"Kill!" Lin Feng's pupils suddenly turned pitch black. Surging demonic intent erupted wildly. The Demon King's will charged forth, directly attempting to drown the ice and snow will. The Divine Envoy's avatar trembled, and then Lin Feng's body had already descended. His fist slammed into the avatar's head. With a "pfft" sound, the avatar was destroyed!
"Haha, not bad!" The Divine Envoy looked at Lin Feng and Yiren Lei, smiling, "Your potential is decent. Keep working hard!"
With that, the Divine Envoy waved his hand, and instantly, Lin Feng and Yiren Lei's bodies vanished.
