# Chapter 1399: Prajna, Lihen
This time, it was the Qi family's turn again.
Qi Huang's eyes flickered. Mu Feng's cultivation was unfathomably deep, very mysterious. A martial cultivator who hadn't released all of his power—even as a Martial Emperor, he couldn't see through him. Therefore, even though Qi Qianzhe's strength was formidable, because he couldn't see through Mu Feng, he still had reservations. Among his many offspring, not many had the chance to become emperors. Qi Qianxing was one, now an Invincible Sovereign Lord, only one step away from becoming an emperor.
Qi Qianzhe was also one of them, the youngest son, but his talent was in no way inferior. He had even caught up to some of his elder brothers. There was also Qi Qianyun, standing behind Qi Qianxing, not fond of speaking much, his cultivation at the Eighth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, his combat power terrifying.
For this battle, Qi Huang was somewhat hesitant. Should Qi Qianyun go deal with Heavenly Terrace's Sovereign Lord, or should he let Qi Qianzhe make a move? If he let Qi Qianzhe make a move, would it be against Mu Feng?
Heavenly Terrace now only had two Sovereign Lords left: one Eighth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm powerhouse, and the other Hou Qinglin at the Seventh Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm. Neither was easy to deal with.
"I'll go kill one and come back!" Qi Qianzhe said indifferently. His foot stepped onto the Connecting Heaven Battle Platform, then his finger pointed at a mid-rank Honored Martial cultivator from Heavenly Terrace, not selecting Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyes turned cold. Qi Qianzhe was Qi Huang's own son, Qi Qianxing's younger brother. His strength was beyond doubt. Already at the Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, he likely possessed combat power at the Eighth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm. And the person he had selected wasn't particularly strong—he would probably find it hard to escape disaster. Moreover, with Qi Qianzhe stepping up to select an opponent, in this entire round of selection battles, he wouldn't have another chance to select. He seemed to be waiting for Lin Feng to select him!
The facts were just as everyone had guessed. Heavenly Terrace's mid-rank Honored Martial cultivator was killed by Qi Qianzhe. Heavenly Terrace now had nineteen people left.
Then, the Sikong family sent out a powerhouse who also killed a mid-rank Honored Martial cultivator from Heavenly Terrace. Heavenly Terrace now had eighteen people left.
However, the Qi family's situation wasn't much better than Heavenly Terrace's. When it was the Wen family's Heavenly Demon Hall's turn to fight, they used the strong to cut down the weak, killing or expelling two of the Qi family's mid-rank Honored Martial cultivators. Then, the Undying Heavenly Palace eliminated another Qi family member. But the Flower-Fruit Mountain didn't target the Qi family again, after all, they still had to contend with the Demon Emperor Hall.
But from the previous round plus this unfinished round, the Qi family had already had nine mid-rank Honored Martial cultivators eliminated. The remaining number wasn't large either—only twenty people: six at the Sovereign Lord level and fourteen mid-rank Honored Martial cultivators. That was even fewer than Heavenly Terrace. Judging by the situation, the Qi family would end up worse off than Heavenly Terrace.
When it was the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's turn, Heavenly Dragon Emperor didn't allow any of the remaining Nine Dragon Princes to go kill Mu Feng. Instead, he had the Nine Dragon Princes make a move against Qiu Yuexin. Although Qiu Yuexin couldn't win, she at least managed to retreat intact, landing below the Connecting Heaven Battle Platform and being eliminated. Heavenly Terrace now had seventeen people left.
Flame Mountain didn't produce another Fu Hei. But Heavenly Terrace once again sent someone to be eliminated, leaving only sixteen people. Fewer and fewer. The second round of rotation battles ended.
Moreover, the situation in the next round was almost identical to this one. The Qi family, the Wen family, the Heavenly Demon Hall, and the Undying Heavenly Palace all targeted the Qi family together. Meanwhile, the Qi family, the Sikong family, and the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress all targeted Heavenly Terrace together. Plus the one Heavenly Terrace sent to be eliminated themselves. After the third round of battles, the Qi family had seventeen people left, and Heavenly Terrace had twelve!
When the fourth round began, the Qi family looked toward Heavenly Terrace and their gazes stiffened slightly. Heavenly Terrace had only twelve people left. Besides that Eighth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm powerhouse, one Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm mid-rank Honored Martial cultivator, and Mu Feng, the remaining nine were all Yu Huang's personal disciples. Their previous battles hadn't been outstanding, but they all gave people an unfathomable feeling.
When Heavenly Terrace had been sending their own people to be eliminated, many hadn't taken it seriously. But now, seeing Heavenly Terrace's lineup, everyone felt a faint oppressive atmosphere. Especially when those twelve gazes shot toward the Qi family members simultaneously. In those pupils, there was actually a fighting intent. Now, no matter who challenged Heavenly Terrace, they would have confidence.
"Qi Yao, go test the strength of that Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator!" At this moment, the Qi family's Sovereign Lord Qi Xiao said to a Qi family member. This Qi Yao was his younger brother, also at the Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm.
Qi Yao looked toward Qi Qianxing. Qi Qianxing nodded slightly and said, "Go!"
Qi Yao stepped forward and walked onto the battle platform, challenging that Sixth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator from Heavenly Terrace.
Radiant golden threads swirled around Qi Yao. His foot stepped forward as he walked toward his opponent. But at that moment, the Heavenly Terrace powerhouse suddenly opened his mouth wide and roared angrily: "ROAR..."
"ROAR, ROAR, ROAR..." Waves of terrifying, sky-covering golden light suddenly bloomed in the void, dazzling and brilliant. The entire void seemed to be lit up by golden light. This golden radiance was Buddha light. Behind the Heavenly Terrace powerhouse, there seemed to appear a terrifying, boundless Buddha-Dao honored form, stepping on a lion's body, holding a blue lotus in his left hand and a sword in his right, cutting away all kinds of evil in the world.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Qi Yao, charging toward the Heavenly Terrace powerhouse, instantly turned deathly pale. It was as if a thought of cutting away sin had risen in his heart. His head sank into endless sin, as if he was about to be liberated by that great roar.
"Boom, crack!" A sin-cutting sword struck his head, instantly killing him. Overwhelmingly powerful.
"Sinful!" At this moment, the Heavenly Terrace powerhouse was covered in Buddha light, like an ancient Buddha. His temperament had completely changed from before, shocking countless people. Another terrifying powerhouse. This person was actually a Buddhist martial cultivator, the same as Heavenly Terrace's ascetic monk Tian Chi. It was just that this person had never shown his abilities before. In fact, no one had ever seen him. Yet unexpectedly, he was so terrifying.
"That was the Buddhist Sin-Extinguishing Mantra. It was as if one roar could wash away all thoughts of sin!"
Even many Buddhist powerhouses from the Heavenly Thunder Sound Temple were moved, staring in shock at the Heavenly Terrace powerhouse. A figure like this should have been in their Heavenly Thunder Sound Temple, yet he had joined Heavenly Terrace.
"Qi Yao!" Qi Xiao's expression was ugly as he stared at his younger brother's corpse on the battle platform. A sense of self-blame welled up in his heart. He had been the one to send Qi Yao to test, and this test had resulted in death.
At this moment, his cold, murderous gaze shot toward the Heavenly Terrace powerhouse. But the Heavenly Terrace powerhouse had already returned to his position, standing beside Yu Huang.
Yu Huang's gaze turned toward the Qi family direction. He said in a low voice, "I never introduced everyone before. This is the twelfth personal disciple of Stone Emperor and me. His Dharma name is Prajna!"
"He's a personal disciple. Of the remaining twelve people, besides that Eighth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm powerhouse and Mu Feng, the other ten are all personal disciples of Stone Emperor and Yu Huang. Each one has formidable power. Only Mu Chen, the senior brother, isn't among them." The hearts of people from various forces were shaken. Heavenly Terrace had been jointly suppressed by three major forces, with many eliminated. Plus, they had sent a few themselves. Now, the remaining twelve were all elites.
The Qi family only had sixteen people left, and the number of mid-rank Honored Martial cultivators was only ten, completely equal to Heavenly Terrace!
It was the Sikong family's turn to act. The Sikong family members weren't having an easy time either. Among these twelve, who should they choose to fight?
In the end, the Sikong family sent out a peak Fifth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm powerhouse. He stepped onto the battle platform and looked toward Heavenly Terrace. Mu Feng, Prajna, Tian Chi, and Ruoxie were all very strong—he couldn't choose them. Wu Yong and Mo Qingtian were also unfathomable. That left only four people for him to choose from.
"You, come out!" The Sikong family powerhouse's gaze finally fell on a person at the Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm. This person wore a simple long robe, appeared very quiet, had no strong aura, only an otherworldly temperament. He looked very simple.
"Sky-Rending, kill!" The moment the Heavenly Terrace powerhouse stepped onto the battle platform, the Sikong family powerhouse strode forward and attacked. A terrifying Sky-Rending Fist blasted out, as if the void itself was about to explode, emitting rumbling angry roars like a giant beast baring its fangs.
"Whoosh!" The Heavenly Terrace powerhouse's body suddenly disappeared, appearing in the air above. His speed was like lightning.
"Speed Essence, so fast! A pure sense of speed!" The watching crowd's eyes flickered with shock. Then they saw the Heavenly Terrace powerhouse invert his body, head down, feet up. All five fingers pointed out simultaneously. Suddenly, the meaning of life-and-death parting appeared in the void. Heaven and earth wailed in sorrow, breaking hearts.
"Finger Melody Technique!" The crowd's expressions solidified. The power this Heavenly Terrace powerhouse used was a type of finger technique, but it seemed to incorporate melody into it, possessing various powerful artistic conceptions. It was as if there were mournful sounds, making people feel as if they were there, their minds disturbed by the melody.
"Kill!" The Sikong family powerhouse roared angrily. Then, his eyes gradually became demonic. Although they weren't as powerful as Sikong Xiao's Heavenly Eye, they still seemed capable of breaking through all illusions.
Rolling mournful sounds surged. Life-and-death parting continued. On the battle platform, it was as if a dirge was being played. People were about to die, tears breaking hearts. The finger technique was exquisite, containing terrifying killing power. Soon, the entire void transformed into a mournful domain. The void twisted. The musical notes seemed to materialize, rippling through space, continuously penetrating into the Sikong family powerhouse's body, impossible to resist.
Bloodline and martial soul, both released at once. The Sikong family powerhouse wanted to break out, but he found himself deeply trapped, unable to extricate himself.
"Illusion power!" The watching crowd understood clearly. This wasn't just sound wave essence; there was also illusion essence integrated into the sound waves, causing people to lose their mental focus. Combined with the sound waves, its power was extremely strong.
"The Sikong family's hunting attempt is going to fail this time!" Everyone thought to themselves. The Sikong family powerhouse was only defending. Sooner or later, he would be eliminated.
After a moment, the rolling mournful musical notes all penetrated into the opponent's body. The Sikong family powerhouse let out a long roar toward the sky. Heaven and earth shook. His pupils were filled with endless sorrow. Rumbling explosive sounds rang out, terrifying to the extreme. He self-destructed. The Sikong family powerhouse made his own body explode, committing suicide!
The simple, calm young man in the long robe returned to Heavenly Terrace. Yu Huang said indifferently once again, "Personal disciple, Lihen!"
Lin Feng was quite surprised. His master's personal disciples were indeed all extraordinary. This was Heavenly Terrace's trump card force. Moreover, Lihen's musical note attacks were of the same type as the Nine Nether Demon Melody. However, the Nine Nether Demon Melody was one of the supreme nine melodies. It could not only penetrate through sound, but also through the eyes, through the will, directly piercing into others' bodies!
