# Chapter 1397: The Despair of the Seventh Prince

After Qi Xiao killed the Heavenly Terrace Sovereign Lord, his gaze looked into the distance toward the Heavenly Terrace direction. In his eyes, it seemed as if terrifying killing energy was rushing out, causing the people of Heavenly Terrace to feel a strong sense of slaughter intent.

Then, his body soared into the air and returned to Qi Tian Peak. Now, between the two forces, no words were needed—it was a fight to the death, with strength doing the talking.

After the Qi family, it was the Sikong family's turn. This time, the Sikong family also sent out a person at the Eighth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, pointing his finger directly at the Heavenly Terrace direction, challenging another Sovereign Lord figure from Heavenly Terrace. Heavenly Terrace only had four Sovereign Lords in total: three at the Seventh Layer and one at the Eighth Layer. The Qi family and the Sikong family were preparing to first eliminate all of Heavenly Terrace's Sovereign Lords, preventing Heavenly Terrace from dealing with their own Sovereign Lords.

"Heavenly Terrace is in for trouble. Emperor Qi and Emperor Sikong must have already discussed this—first, concentrate all their power to deal with Heavenly Terrace, and erase this force during the Assembly of Emperors!" The crowd understood clearly. The Qi family and the Sikong family were so tacitly coordinated that no one would believe Emperor Qi and Emperor Sikong hadn't discussed it beforehand.

The people of Heavenly Terrace naturally understood the intentions of the Qi family and the Sikong family at this moment. After that Sovereign Lord stepped forward, Mu Chen said to the crowd, "In this Assembly of Emperors, I'm afraid not many of us from Heavenly Terrace will make it to the end. Remember to protect yourselves above all else. In a hundred years, there will still be opportunities. And it won't even take a hundred years—Heavenly Terrace will rise!"

Everyone's expressions were quite heavy. They understood Mu Chen's words. With three forces jointly targeting Heavenly Terrace first, it would be too difficult to reach the end. You would need to be able to suppress the people from the three opposing forces at the Sovereign Lord level or below to have a chance.

As expected, this battle still had no surprises. Although Heavenly Terrace's second Sovereign Lord didn't die, elimination was inevitable. The Sikong family's Sovereign Lord was at the Eighth Layer, while Heavenly Terrace's Sovereign Lord was at the Seventh Layer—there was a gap in strength. Most of Heavenly Terrace's best people were at the mid-rank Sovereign Martial Realm.

After that, the Wen family and Wen Aoxue stepped forward to battle. His chosen opponent was a mid-rank Sovereign Martial cultivator from the Qi family, and a fairly powerful one at that. Wen Aoxue's cultivation had actually reached the Third Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm peak. Under his Killing Essence and Slaughter Domain, his killing energy was extremely strong. Like Wen Tian Ge, he cultivated Killing Essence, Speed Essence, and Space Essence. Moreover, in Space Essence, he was not inferior to the Qi family's Void techniques, forcing his opponent off the Heavenly Battle Platform and down to the ground, eliminating the opponent.

Next came the games between the other forces. They didn't involve themselves in the struggle between the six forces like the Qi family. They were too lazy to participate—the current situation was very favorable for them.

However, when the Undying Heavenly Palace stepped forward to battle, their chosen opponent was also from the Qi family. The opponent seemed to have forgotten that Jun Moxi's physique was the Undying Nether King Body and dared to fight Jun Moxi at close range. As a result, Jun Moxi let him tear his own body apart while simultaneously using his Nether God Hand to blow up the opponent's head. His Undying Body allowed his injuries to recover rapidly—the Undying Body was even stronger than controlling Life Essence.

Following Wen Aoxue and Jun Moxi, Xiao Yu of the Heavenly Demon Hall stepped forward to battle, challenging someone from the Qi family. He very dominantly killed a mid-rank Sovereign Martial cultivator from the Qi family.

Among the Qi family's mid-rank Sovereign Martial cultivators, two were dead, one was injured—a total of three people eliminated, which was even worse than Heavenly Terrace.

This caused many forces to show interested expressions, while the Qi family's people had ugly faces. Anyone could see that when they decided to concentrate all their power against Heavenly Terrace, Heavenly Terrace also decided to concentrate all their power against the Qi family. Heavenly Terrace was the worst off among the alliance of Heavenly Terrace, the Wen family, and the Heavenly Demon Hall, being besieged by three forces. Of course, the Wen family and the Heavenly Demon Hall wouldn't refuse Heavenly Terrace's request to first jointly besiege the Qi family—specifically, to besiege the Qi family's mid-rank Sovereign Martial cultivators. After all, Heavenly Terrace only had two Sovereign Lords left, so they weren't afraid of being challenged anymore. You kill my Sovereign Lords, I'll destroy your mid-rank Sovereigns.

After that, when the Six Desires Immortal Palace sent someone to battle, it was the Holy Maiden Yiren Lei who stepped forward. Her chosen opponent was from the Qi family—a mid-rank Sovereign. The battle's outcome: annihilation!

From Flower Fruit Mountain, Yuan Fei stepped forward to battle. Yuan Fei swung his giant staff and pointed at the Qi family people, shouting, "A bunch of bastards! The Invincible Sovereign Lord forced my Heavenly Martial brother into a corner—you still have the face to show yourselves? Now you're moving against my brother's wife. If I don't kill a few people, I won't be able to face Lin Feng."

The battle's outcome: Yuan Fei's giant Heavenly Staff sent a Qi family mid-rank Sovereign Martial cultivator spewing blood. At the last moment, the opponent used Void Step to escape and landed on the ground.

When it was the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's turn to battle, the Qi family already had three dead and two injured—a total of five people eliminated. This outcome was something the Qi family had never expected. If this continued, wouldn't the Qi family be completely wiped out before Heavenly Terrace?

"I'll go kill him!" At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince stepped forward, his demonic energy surging. The "him" he referred to was, of course, Lin Feng.

"Let me go instead. I have a better chance of success!" the Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince said, his demonic energy billowing and extremely strong. Although Mu Feng was arrogant beyond measure, his strength was unquestionable—very strong. His Demonic Slaughter Fist was overbearing and fierce. Moreover, when he had killed Qi Tianxu earlier, his demonic energy had soared to the heavens, and he also possessed terrifying spatial power. The Seventh Prince might not be able to deal with that demon cultivator.

He, the Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince, was at the Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, much higher than Lin Feng in cultivation level. Moreover, his bloodline was strong, and he possessed two types of Essence power, both at the Seventh Layer. Adding his Dragon Soul, he could even kill a Sovereign Lord at the Seventh Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm. Dealing with Lin Feng would be absolutely certain. As for the Heavenly Dragon Fourth Prince, he was even stronger—killing a Seventh Layer Sovereign Lord was effortless. Killing this demon cultivator wouldn't require the Fourth Prince to act.

"I'll go kill him!" The Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince stepped forward, already leaving the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's camp and stepping onto the Heavenly Battle Platform, causing the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's experts to pause. This guy...

"You know the Seventh's personality. Your words just now undoubtedly provoked him. With his pride, how could he admit to being inferior to that demon cultivator Mu Feng? Besides, during the first round of battles, the Seventh had already exchanged words with that demon cultivator. Now he wants to kill that demon cultivator even more to prove himself," the Heavenly Dragon Fourth Prince said calmly. The Fifth Prince smiled bitterly—he felt that Mu Feng was not that simple.

"Father, what do you think?" The Heavenly Dragon Fourth Prince looked at the Heavenly Dragon Emperor and asked in a low voice. The Heavenly Dragon Emperor had not expressed his opinion all along.

"If Mu Feng only has the combat power he has shown so far, he is at most equal to the Seventh. However, this Mu Feng's strength does not stop there. The Seventh should lose. But losing is also a form of tempering for him. Self-preservation should be no problem. Moreover, he can let us see what Mu Feng's true combat power really is!"

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor said calmly. He had observed Mu Feng's strength. Based on the combat power he had displayed so far, he could absolutely crush anyone below Sovereign Lord level. And Lin Feng's best record was defeating a Sovereign Lord at the Seventh Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm with over thirty wins. If it were the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince, he could also accomplish this. However, this Mu Feng's strength was likely not limited to this.

His seventh son needed some tempering, so he did not stop the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince from stepping onto the battle platform. Letting him lose to Mu Feng was fine—his life was still long.

When the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince stepped onto the battle platform, his gaze locked directly onto the Heavenly Terrace direction, staring at Lin Feng, and he roared, "Mu Feng, I've come to kill you!"

Lin Feng had been waiting. Finally, someone had challenged him. This person was one of the nine from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress they had observed, someone who had once wanted to kill Meng Qing. He had Sovereign Lord-level combat power and was very strong. Based on the combat power Lin Feng had shown before, it would indeed be difficult to deal with him.

"Boom!" With one step, it was as if wild clouds roared in anger, gathering the momentum of heaven and earth to envelop his body, seemingly penetrating into his body. Lin Feng was pitch black all over, demonic energy raging wildly. Just his pure aura could crush people at the Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, approaching the Fifth Layer.

"Roar..." Rolling roars sounded continuously. Around the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince, it seemed as if dragon cries echoed endlessly. The crowd could even clearly see illusory demon dragon shadows circling around the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince's body, filled with a terrifying dragon intent, as if he were a true dragon.

"Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, nine trump cards: two mid-rank Sovereigns, three Sovereign Lords—all very strong!" The crowd thought to themselves as they watched the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince. Every force had its own trump card power. The Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's trump card was those nine people. After the previous battles, everyone could see this.

The reason Lin Feng could shock people was because of his cultivation level—too low. He was almost the lowest among those who could fight Sovereign Lords, only at the Second Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm peak. That's why it was especially shocking. But the trump card powers of the major forces could still contend with Lin Feng. That's why Emperor Qi had formulated this rule. This Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince who appeared was the fourth strongest among the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's mid-rank Sovereigns.

However, fighting Mu Feng would probably still result in defeat.

"This battle should be very exciting. Perhaps we can see what Mu Feng's peak combat power really is. This demon cultivator, known as the Cursed One, rarely showed himself before, but as soon as he appeared, he caused such a stir at the Assembly of Emperors—very mysterious!"

The crowd thought to themselves. Mu Feng, carrying overwhelming momentum, stepped toward the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince. Meanwhile, around the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince, dragon energy soared to the heavens. A demon dragon spiraled upward, wrapping around his body. At the same time, his entire body was covered in sharp, boundless dragon scale armor, breathtaking and filled with a sense of immense power.

"Die!"

"Roar, roar..." Suddenly, Lin Feng, who had been slowly stepping forward, suddenly shot forward at explosive speed, causing the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince's pupils to tremble violently. An overwhelming demon curse power shook his heart, as if he was about to die. At the same time, a death energy descended upon him, stripping away his life force. But what was truly more terrifying were those eyes—as if in an instant, they erupted with the supreme demon king's will. He saw demon sovereigns, demon generals, demon kings, attacking his mind. Moreover, there was also a faint Nine Nether intent penetrating his body, demonic path invasion.

In that instant, the powers rushing into his body included: demon curse technique, death curse technique, demon eyes carrying terrifying demon will, Nine Nether Demon Melody—accompanying Lin Feng's explosive shout, all erupting in an instant. At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince truly felt as if he was about to die. Only he, facing Lin Feng, could truly and tangibly feel each of these powers. Others could not comprehend them.

His face deathly pale, the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince knew he had underestimated Lin Feng. Everyone had still underestimated him. This explosive wave of demonic power unleashed in an instant was enough to make one despair, leaving no chance to fight back.

Lin Feng's Demonic Slaughter Fist arrived. At this moment, it was no longer pure Demonic Slaughter Fist—it merged with overwhelming momentum, merged with Immortal Essence. In the void, dozens of tremors occurred in succession, as if dozens of fists, along with the momentum's fluctuations, blasted open together, transforming into Heaven-Breaking Demon Fist!

"Boom!" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor suddenly released a terrifying aura from his body. His eyes seemed to contain a surging demonic energy. Although he was not facing Lin Feng directly, he seemed to feel the Seventh's despair at this moment—a despair on the verge of death.
