# Chapter 1431: Out
On the Heavenly Terrace, above the Nine Heavens, two beautiful figures gazed into the distance, their eyes carrying a trace of longing, piercing through autumn waters.
More than three years had passed, and still no one had returned. Emperor Yu had also never come back, as if he and his eleven personal disciples had vanished from the mortal world. On the Heavenly Terrace, in its vast space, many disciples trained diligently on the stairway to the Nine Heavens, growing stronger as time flowed by.
Three years and more was enough time for the vast Eight Wastelands Realm to undergo tremendous changes. Now, many outstanding figures were rising in the Eight Wastelands, their sharpness fully exposed. Some even said it was time to select a new generation of Ten Great Prodigies, because among the previous generation, aside from a few who had died, the others had all stepped into the combat power of Venerable Lords. Now, after three years of disappearance, who knew how terrifyingly strong they had become? It was indeed time to select a new generation of prodigies, as the waves behind drove the waves ahead.
Looking back at the heroes and talents of the previous generation, each was extraordinary: Lin Feng transformed into Mu Feng, one person with two identities, slaughtering countless geniuses across the Eight Wastelands; the Divine Bird Golden-Winged Great Roc with unmatched physical speed; the mysterious Kong Ming of the Heavenly Thunder Sound Temple, an undefeated monk who grew stronger against powerful foes; Wen Tiange and Wen Aoxue, the twin stars of the Wen Clan; the unfathomable Heavenly Eye Sikong Xiao; Fu Hei, the black-bellied one whose true combat power no one knew; the Six Desires Saintess Yiren Lei, on whom she would fall; and countless other heroes who vanished without a trace at the same time.
Now, in the Eight Wastelands, some new outstanding heroes were rising powerfully. For example, Feng Ling of the Qifeng Mountain, who was forcefully catching up to Feng Xuan, with rumors that her physique was even more terrifying than Feng Xuan's; the Evil Desire of the Human Desire Paradise, who had defiled many fairy maidens of the Six Desires Immortal Palace; the mysterious person Xia Tianfan, who challenged Venerable Lords of various major powers and had never been defeated; the newly risen Qi Zang of the Qi Family, with terrifying strength... these figures were now dominating the Eight Wastelands.
However, those in the Wasteland Sea battlefield knew nothing of this. Over three years, many had obtained Destinies, but even more had died in the struggle for Destinies or from encountering crises. Now, in this entire vast space, of the original two hundred strong members, less than half remained.
Within the Ancient Tree Space, Lin Feng punched out again and again, as if he would never tire. Now, each of his punches was so relaxed, appearing effortless. As his own strength continuously grew, those Flame Rock Giants attacking him seemed to have become weaker. At this moment, his body had descended much further, closer to the abyss, where the Law power was stronger, and the Flame Rocks were also stronger.
"Break!" He bent his body, threw a punch, and with an explosive shout, his demon fist pierced through heaven and earth. That entire expanse of Flame Giant Rocks shattered completely, buried in a sea of fire.
Withdrawing his fist, Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, exhaling a breath. Even this breath seemed to contain the scorching power of flame within it.
"Two years!" Lin Feng murmured softly. In these two years, he had shattered countless rocks. The air he breathed in carried the aura of Space, Flame, and Earth. Even without deliberately cultivating, he had given birth to the power of Earth Essence, and it had crossed into the Fourth Layer. As his strength and realm grew, and his understanding of Essence deepened, comprehending lower-level Essences became much faster.
This was like when he was at the Heavenly Martial Realm comprehending Will. When he reached the Venerable Martial Realm and comprehended Essence, he couldn't possibly start from comprehending Will again; he directly crossed over. If he could comprehend Essence, would he regress to comprehending Will? He thought that if one day he stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm and comprehended Law, when comprehending other powers, he wouldn't start from the First Layer of Essence either. In the process of enlightenment, he would already be progressively crossing through Essence levels. By the time he achieved enlightenment, it should directly become Law!
"In these two years, without eating or drinking, using the heaven and earth primal energy of this space as nourishment, yet the heaven and earth energy contains the elemental forces of Space, Flame, Earth, and Life. No wonder I gave birth to the power of Earth Essence. After swallowing it for two years, it naturally emerged. This is probably due to my physique and talent!" Lin Feng murmured softly. At this moment, his long hair had become disheveled, his body bare, with only a suit of armor shimmering with light.
"I must take a bath after getting out!" Lin Feng thought to himself. Although martial cultivators could directly use power to expel dirt from inside and outside their bodies, making it evaporate, after such a long time, it was still somewhat uncomfortable, making him very annoyed. He wondered how things were outside now.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng's gaze suddenly sharpened, looking down below. His eyes became like an infinitely sharp sharp sword, piercing through the void.
"Buzz!" As if sensing Lin Feng's hostile intent, endless rocks once again hurtled toward him. But this time, Lin Feng did not use force to break them. Instead, his body turned into an illusory phantom, ethereal and elusive. The endless Flame Giant Rocks that could bury almost everything couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes. The entire void was filled with Lin Feng's spatial afterimages.
In these two years, Lin Feng's greatest improvements were in Space Essence and Wind Essence. Because he was constantly tempering them, continuously growing stronger and improving, now both Wind Essence and Space Essence had reached the peak of the Sixth Layer. Demon Essence had crossed into the peak of the Seventh Layer, Earth Essence was at the Fourth Layer, Life Essence at the Fifth Layer, and his own realm had recently crossed into the Sixth Layer. Moreover, this was without him deliberately cultivating. Through constant battle and continuously breaking his own limits without end, he had broken through from the peak of the Fourth Layer of Venerable Martial Realm all the way to the Sixth Layer.
An afterimage pierced through the endless Flame Giant Rocks, descending from the sky toward the abyss below, diving straight for that abyssal place.
"Kill!" Seeing endless rocks rising again, Lin Feng roared, and an endless light curtain of swords emerged from his body. Those rocks instantly turned to powder, all exploding.
"Boom!" One after another, enormous Flame Giants stood up, seemingly dozens of meters tall. The upper parts of the rocks seemed to emit green light, and rumbling sounds rolled out. They directly smashed toward Lin Feng, carrying an incredibly heavy feeling, as if heavier than mountains.
"Chi, chi..." Lin Feng clasped his hands together and slashed out a sword. Instantly, a terrifying giant sword appeared in the void, a hundred meters long, falling from the sky toward the ground below. There was no sound of explosion. The terrifying Flame Giant was split from the middle, cut in two by the sword. The hundred-meter giant sword continued descending toward the abyss below. Cracking sounds rolled out, magma burst apart, the abyss was severed, and two dazzling beams of light grew brighter and brighter — the light of Destinies.
"Boom!" The earth upheaved, as if an ancient giant had awakened. The entire ground seemed to stand up, trying to bury Lin Feng.
"If I can't break through this time, who knows how long I'll have to wait!" Lin Feng's eyes turned icy. Then, his body transformed into thousands of afterimages. The entire void was filled with Lin Feng's shadows. White lights shone as brilliantly as starlight in the night sky, flickering with the most dazzling radiance in the fiery abyss. Like the light of gems, nothing could block their brilliance.
These were sword lights, countless sword lights, illuminating the flame abyss, wreaking havoc within this earth flame abyss.
"Crack..." In the space, white cracks seemed to appear. Those countless giant swords struck the overturning flame earth, cutting out crack lines. These cracks grew larger and larger, continuously spreading and splitting. The cracking sounds were so crisp. As another heaven-seizing sword light fell, the entire earth was split open by a single sword, cut into two sections.
The sword still persisted, continuing to slash downward. Every sword light did not disappear; they all contained the Essence of Immortality within them. In these two years of tempering, Lin Feng had tempered Demon, tempered Sword, and tempered his footwork. In his sword, he had always incorporated Immortality. Now, his Immortality Essence had also reached the Fifth Layer. The endless sword light seemed as if it would never decay.
"Boom!" A brilliant scene appeared. That expanse of earth exploded at this moment. Sword light wreaked havoc within the abyss. Lin Feng charged into the flame and earth abyss, moving with the sword. Where the sword went, he arrived; where he arrived, the sword condensed again.
"Slash!" Lin Feng slashed out another sword, striking an ancient rock. The rock split open. His hands, covered in demonic qi, suddenly plunged into the flames, then withdrew in an instant. At this moment, the rock seemed to lose its original luster, becoming dim. The towering flames were gone, the heavy weight was gone. The Destiny had been taken by Lin Feng.
"Success!" Lin Feng's eyes were sharp, piercing through the heavens. He had failed countless times in these two years, but this time he had finally succeeded. He had obtained the Destiny hidden deep in the abyss. This also meant that the power bestowed by Law could no longer stop him, unless it was the power of Law itself.
"Why can't I find a Destiny containing Life Law?" Lin Feng slowly rose amidst the endlessly falling rocks, a spectacular sight. He reached out his hand, and a sword howled through the air. The Celestial Fate Sword returned. Now, the Celestial Fate Sword was even more dazzling and brilliant, washed clean of all dross, shedding its mortal shell, continuously advancing and growing stronger.
Holding the sword in his hand, Lin Feng frowned. There must be a Destiny containing Life Law here, but he had never seen it. As for that Destiny containing Void Law, he knew it was in the void above. Now, he should be able to obtain it too.
"Never mind. First, get the Destiny, then get out. Now I have four Destinies. If I add the Space Destiny, that will be five!" Lin Feng thought to himself. Then, holding his sharp sword, he charged toward the void in the sky, directly breaking into it, unstoppable. His body seemed wrapped in a layer of Void power, harmonizing with the external void, preventing his body from being torn apart.
"Such strong power!" As Lin Feng's body advanced, the tearing pain was extremely intense, causing the Sacred Artifact armor on his body to crack. But now, his physical body no longer needed this level of Sacred Artifact armor. His flesh was stronger than it. Only the Space Robe, fused with his flesh and blood, wrapped around him.
"Slash!" Lin Feng slashed out a sword. The void shattered. His body moved like the wind, instantly seizing a dazzling golden Destiny. With a buzz, a light emerged. The next moment, Lin Feng found himself out of that space, once again arriving at the dim ancient battlefield!
"I'm out!" Lin Feng's face showed a look of surprise. Two years, finally out!
