# Chapter 1400: Borrowing the Fifth Prince's Momentum
"Emperor Yu is very confident in his personal disciples!" The crowd felt this way when they heard Emperor Yu publicly announce the names of Prajna and Lihen. Confidence — Emperor Yu's confidence in his disciples.
Since Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor became emperors, there had been a gap of several hundred years during which they took no disciples. Rumor had it they only accepted nine personal disciples. Many years later, three of those nine — Mu Chen, Hou Qinglin, and Tian Chi — began to move about the outside world. Their cultivation levels were not high. When they first appeared in people's sight, aside from Mu Chen who was already an Invincible Sovereign Lord, Hou Qinglin and Tian Chi were only at the Heavenly Martial Realm.
This meant that Stone Emperor and Yu Emperor had begun training them when they were still very weak. The other six personal disciples had been kept hidden all along. Now, for the first time, everyone truly witnessed all of Emperor Yu's personal disciples. Only Mu Chen and Hou Qinglin had reached the Sovereign Lord realm; the others were still Venerables. This meant that when Emperor Yu accepted them as disciples, they too were likely young, except for a few who were taken later.
Moreover, each of these personal disciples seemed exceptionally distinctive, excelling in different domains of power. Take Prajna and Lihen for example — Prajna specialized in Buddhist sin-destroying incantations as a Buddhist cultivator, while Lihen excelled in sound waves, illusory power, and a very powerful sorrowful melody, as if a single song of separation could claim one's life.
"The battles are becoming more and more exciting now. The alliance formed by the Qi Family, Sikong Family, and Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress clearly cannot hunt down and eliminate the Heavenly Terrace people as easily as before. What remains of Heavenly Terrace are all elite forces — personal disciples. Even those who aren't personal disciples, like Mu Feng and that Eighth Layer Venerable Martial Realm expert, possess terrifying strength!"
Many people thought to themselves. The Qi Family alliance's plan to annihilate Heavenly Terrace would not be so easy.
After that, the Wen Family and Heavenly Demon Hall each sent out a strong expert who killed two mid-rank Venerables from the Qi Family. However, they were clearly picking targets they could kill, gradually pruning away the Qi Family's members. The Undying Heavenly Palace also eliminated one person from the Qi Family. In the blink of an eye, the Qi Family had only thirteen people left, with only seven mid-rank Venerables — just one more than the number of Sovereign Lords. But the remaining members were also approaching elite status. Strong clashing against strong was inevitable.
Elsewhere, the three forces of Flower-Fruit Mountain, Thunder Emperor Island, and Savage Bull Mountain were fighting fiercely, continuously joining forces to kill the various demon rocs from the Demon Emperor Hall. Gradually, the remaining rocs of the Demon Emperor Hall grew stronger and stronger, each emanating demonic aura that pierced the heavens. When they spread their wings, their speed was terrifyingly fast.
Several major forces of the Immortal Wasteland were subtly clashing. The two major female forces — Six Desires Immortal Palace and Nine Melodies Sacred Land — were locked in intense battle. The Heavenly Thunder Sound Temple seemed unable to tolerate the Human Desire Paradise, and their battle was fierce. Based on their exchanges, Six Desires Immortal Palace and Nine Melodies Sacred Land appeared evenly matched, while Heavenly Thunder Sound Temple could suppress Human Desire Paradise.
The Purgatory occasionally provoked the Wen Family. In short, all forces were colliding. The weak were gradually being eliminated. Of course, there were also clashes between strong opponents. Quite a few formidable people were unfortunately eliminated early, like the Heavenly Dragon Seventh Prince who wanted to hunt Lin Feng. His strength was quite formidable, yet he was killed by Lin Feng.
When another round was about to descend upon the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, the crowd from that fortress showed some hesitation. How should they fight this battle? Should they test Emperor Yu's three personal disciples who had not yet made a move? Their previous performances had not been outstanding — just like Prajna and Lihen — but who could say they didn't possess the same formidable combat power?
"Father, let me go kill Mu Feng!" The Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince's expression was ice-cold. He had always wanted to kill Lin Feng to avenge the Seventh Prince.
"I'll go kill him!" The Fourth Prince's sharpness was fully exposed. He worried that the Fifth Prince might also be defeated.
"If I don't kill him, my heart will not be at peace!" The Fifth Prince's eyes gleamed with cold light, his killing intent leaking out.
"What if he's still hiding his strength?" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor looked at the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince had no problem killing a Sovereign Lord — he was much stronger than the Seventh Prince. But Lin Feng's depth was still unknown. If he was still concealing his strength, wouldn't the Fifth Prince also fall into danger? Only if the Fourth Prince went would it be foolproof.
"Even if he truly is hiding his strength, he couldn't possibly kill me in an instant. I'm at the Sixth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm with dual Seventh Layer Profound Meaning power. Could I really be instantly killed? If I lose, I'd rather be eliminated. Even if I'm killed, I have nothing to say!"
The Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince said coldly. If he didn't kill Mu Feng, it would leave a shadow in his heart. If his martial path couldn't advance boldly, how could he ever achieve the Martial Emperor position in the future?
As he finished speaking, the battle on the other side had already ended. The Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince's foot stepped forward.
"Fifth Brother!" The Heavenly Dragon Fourth Prince's expression tightened. He hadn't expected his younger brother to be so persistent, insisting on killing Mu Feng himself.
"Father!" The Fourth Prince looked at the Heavenly Dragon Emperor. The Heavenly Dragon Emperor's eyes slowly closed: "If one doesn't go mad, one cannot become an emperor. If I stop him from fighting, it would be more serious than his defeat — it would leave a shadow in his heart. Emperor Qi has been preventing Qi Qianxi from killing Mu Feng because the Qi Family's foundation is deeper than ours. They have two Martial Emperors, one mid-rank Emperor supporting the entire family, plus Qi Qianxing the Invincible Sovereign Lord. So what he needs to do is try not to let the younger generation take risks. But my Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress is different. Your father's talent is indeed inferior to many Martial Emperors. So you nine are all the hope of Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress. You must face danger and pressure alone, advance courageously, and achieve the Martial Emperor position."
Hearing the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's words, the Fourth Prince's expression tightened. Then he bowed slightly to the Heavenly Dragon Emperor and said, "Your son understands!"
The Heavenly Dragon Fourth Prince understood clearly — the Heavenly Dragon Emperor had a sense of crisis, a very strong sense of crisis. Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress couldn't compare to the Qi Family. The Qi Family's foundation was deep, but Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress was different. Watching Heavenly Terrace's limitless potential and its possession of two emperors, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor felt an urgent crisis. If Heavenly Terrace rose first, it would be the end of his Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress.
"Fifth Brother, it's up to you!" The Heavenly Dragon Fourth Prince's gaze fell on the battle platform. The Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince had already stepped onto it, gazing into the distance toward Heavenly Terrace. Dragon roars echoed continuously, a long howl without end. A phantom demon dragon coiled in the air, as if about to ride the clouds upward.
"Come out!"
"Come out... come out..." The rolling sound echoed through the air. Everyone understood who he was calling out.
Lin Feng's expression was calm. His foot stepped forward, and the rolling momentum gathered once again. Moments later, wrapped in terrifying demonic power, he stood in the air above the Tongtian (Heaven-Piercing) battle platform, looking down at the Fifth Prince.
"Roar!" A dragon cry shook the heavens. The Fifth Prince transformed into a demon dragon, riding the clouds upward. A wave of overwhelming might rolled toward Lin Feng, as if about to shatter the void.
The Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince's hands transformed into demon dragon claws, tearing at the sky. Blood light erupted wildly. That terrifying blood essence power wanted to make the blood inside people's bodies explode, also stirring up the bloodline within Lin Feng's body. The crashing sound rolled like an ocean roaring in fury.
"Blood essence power, metal essence power!" The crowd watched the dazzling golden and blood-red mixed demon dragon palms, their hearts trembling. The attacks of Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress's people were already strong. Now, with blood essence power and metal essence power added, their attack power had become much stronger. If it struck a physical body, anyone below Martial Emperor would be torn apart. The only option was to attack with attack.
"Dragon totem!" Lin Feng stared at the claws tearing at the sky. The blood and gold vaguely gathered into a dragon pattern, like a dragon totem, dazzlingly bright, faintly forming sacred mark attack power.
Powerful sacred mark attack techniques were rarely used because many people needed reaction time to use them — they couldn't be as freakish as Qiongqi. In actual combat, opponents often wouldn't wait for you to gather powerful sacred mark killing power. Only those with extremely high attainments in sacred marks could instantly unleash sacred mark technique power, delivering destructive force.
This Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince's attack seemed to incorporate a sacred mark attack. Dragon light dazzled, and the attack power seemed to want to break through the heavens.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Lin Feng roared angrily. Sound waves rolled, piercing through the Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince's body. Then, one terrifying demonic slaughter fist after another blasted out, infused with indestructible power. The fist light that destroyed everything appeared once again.
The void exploded. The aura of destruction turned into a terrifying storm. The Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince's dragon claws advanced continuously, but the demonic slaughter fists were also being shattered and broken.
"Oh?" Seeing this scene, the crowd's eyes all sharpened. Especially the experts of Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress — they stared intently at the battle platform.
"Kill!" The Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince roared, brave and boundless, destroying everything. His palms struck against Lin Feng's demonic slaughter fists. Cracking sounds of shattering rang out, accompanied by the spread of destructive force. Lin Feng's body was blasted into the void, as if his bones had cracked.
"Go die!" Seeing that Lin Feng's power couldn't match his, the Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince rolled through the air, soaring upward to pursue Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng did not dodge. Pressing down from the heavens, his indestructible demonic slaughter fists gathered the power of momentum, colliding wildly with the Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince. Cracking sounds of shattering continued without end. The ocean's furious roar rolled on. Lin Feng was continuously blasted backward, his arms cracking open countless times.
"Is this his limit? Where is the demon king's phantom?" The crowd thought to themselves. At this rate, Lin Feng would eventually be destroyed by the Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince's hands.
The two figures continuously rose into the air, higher and higher. People standing on the mountain peaks even had to look up to see them. This time, the Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince once again madly blasted toward Lin Feng.
"Just a little more. The final step!" A terrifying killing intent flashed through Lin Feng's pitch-black eyes. He had reached the critical point. He felt it — he was about to break through.
"Kill!" Lin Feng roared. This time, when his fists clashed with the Heavenly Dragon Fifth Prince's, he no longer retreated. He let the terrifying power impact his body.
"Roar!" Lin Feng let out a long cry to the heavens. His black hair flew wildly, as if a true demon king was about to descend. His power was frantically rising. Endless power from heaven and earth rolled and converged, turning into a terrifying demonic storm.
"Boom!" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor's body suddenly stood up. He stared at Lin Feng in the void, his expression extremely ugly.
Emperor Qi's expression also stiffened. He felt a blockage in his heart, his face ugly. But on Emperor Yu's face, a faint smile appeared.
"Breakthrough! Mu Feng is borrowing power to break through!" The crowd's hearts trembled. Lin Feng had been passively enduring the attacks all along — he was stimulating himself, trying to break through that layer of barrier!
PS: Damn, I was almost done typing when the power suddenly went out. Delayed until so late. Sorry!
