# Chapter 1516: Arbitrarily Manipulating the Rules
"Senior Brother, I have now reached the Sovereign Lord Realm as well!" Lin Feng smiled, clenching his fist. A stronger sense of power surged within him, and a faint, calm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Then how about a sparring session?" Mu Chen said with a half-smile, causing Lin Feng's smile to instantly collapse. He shrugged and said, "Senior Brother, don't bully your junior brother like this!"
"Just a casual spar. I'll appropriately restrain my strength!" Mu Chen didn't seem to be joking, causing a sharp glint to flash through Lin Feng's eyes. A hint of battle intent swirled within them, as if he was eager to try.
"Alright!" Lin Feng had burning battle blood flowing in his bones. Since Mu Chen was willing to guide his cultivation, he naturally wouldn't refuse. Experiencing Senior Brother Mu Chen's power would only benefit him. Although Lin Feng had now reached the Sovereign Lord Realm, he still marveled inwardly at Mu Chen's strength. That terrifying concealment ability alone was formidable—he had once silently appeared behind Lin Feng, and this time he had nearly taken his life without a sound. If Mu Chen wanted to kill him, it would truly be effortless.
"Attack me. Don't hold back!" Mu Chen stood there and said. Lin Feng nodded slightly, and with a thought, his demonic intent became wild and domineering. His pupils turned pitch-black and indifferent. The seemingly gentle Lin Feng, once he entered a battle state, became like a tyrannical demon overlord, captivating the soul.
Mu Chen's aura, however, was the complete opposite. One couldn't even sense any aura from him. If Lin Feng couldn't see him, he wouldn't even know Mu Chen was there.
Suddenly, Lin Feng took a step forward. The Demonic Slaughter Fist swept across the ground, then roared out fiercely, exploding through the void with black light piercing everything.
Mu Chen casually struck out with a palm. His power seemed to transform into countless threads, moving in unison with heaven and earth, wrapping around the Demonic Slaughter Fist.
"Split!" Mu Chen uttered a single word. Instantly, the overbearing and unmatched Demonic Slaughter Fist turned into rolling demonic qi that dissipated in the void, causing Lin Feng, who had stepped forward, to narrow his eyes. However, his steps didn't pause at all. His fists broke through the air, and wherever the Demonic Slaughter Fist passed, the void trembled, carrying a terrifying momentum force. Beams of black and white light appeared in the void.
Mu Chen still waved his palm calmly and effortlessly. His power remained gentle, as if it had seeped into the void, silently dissolving Lin Feng's attacks.
Lin Feng's body spun slightly. His hand slashed out endless sharp swords, splitting the void and enveloping the entire area below. His feet once again stamped on the void, and an infinite momentum furiously descended, wild and boundless.
"Chi, chi..." Mu Chen still didn't dodge. Countless threads of power seeped into the void, allowing him to clearly sense the strength of every point in this space. Lin Feng's attacks were dissolved one by one, though many forces continued to fall downward, only to be destroyed by Mu Chen's palm strikes. At that moment, Lin Feng's palm print struck downward, as sharp as an indestructible sword, piercing everything.
Mu Chen smiled, raised his palm, and collided with Lin Feng's attack. In an instant, Lin Feng felt his soul tremble, his body shaking uncontrollably as he retreated wildly, separating from Mu Chen.
"Senior Brother, so your specialty is... soul power!" Lin Feng's heart trembled slightly as he looked at Mu Chen's figure ahead. No wonder Senior Brother Mu Chen's concealment ability was so powerful, and his perception was also extremely terrifying. He could clearly sense the strength and weakness of every point in the void through strands of power. For example, when Lin Feng attacked him, he could perceive which points were strong and which were weak, allowing him to respond accordingly.
"Yes, Lin Feng, your attacks are already powerful enough, but they can be even more stable and flawless, making them more perfect without defects!" Mu Chen said with a smile. His specialty was indeed soul power.
...
Eastern Wasteland, the Utmost Land, the End of the World. Within the Sun Ancient Castle, two figures crossed over from the other side of the castle and stepped onto it. One of them was naturally the Envoy, responsible for guarding this Small World, while the other was actually the Eastern Emperor!
"Envoy, I entrust this matter to you. Please take care of it!" the Eastern Emperor said very politely to the Envoy.
"Rest assured, since I have agreed, I will naturally do it!" the Envoy nodded slightly.
Hearing the affirmative answer, a smile appeared in the Eastern Emperor's eyes. Then, with a thought, he took out a Storage Ring and handed it to the Envoy, saying, "Envoy, this is a small token of appreciation from my Qi family. Please accept it!"
The Envoy unceremoniously put away the Storage Ring and said, "Although I will not interfere with anything that happens in this Small World, I control the entrance and exit. What I say is the decree. Who dares to defy it?"
"Of course!" the Eastern Emperor said with a smile. "The Envoy controls the lifeblood of this Small World!"
"Mm!" The Envoy smiled in satisfaction. At this moment, the Eastern Emperor also took his leave, saying, "Envoy, I will take my leave now."
With that, the Eastern Emperor's figure drifted away, leaving the Sun Ancient Castle.
After the Eastern Emperor left, the Envoy approached the massive sun pattern. Placing his hand on it, a vast and surging mighty force spread out, penetrating heaven and earth, causing the entire sky to ripple.
In the mountain range, Mu Chen and Lin Feng were still tirelessly sparring. Lin Feng was drenched in sweat, but he still fought excitedly, absorbing the experience from each battle. However, at that moment, a blazing light pierced through the heavens above, as if descending suddenly.
"Hmm?" Mu Chen frowned, staring at the void above, a look of gravity in his eyes.
The sun in the void rippled more and more intensely. At the endless zenith, as if it were the true heavens, golden characters slowly began to appear.
The golden characters were only three words: Thirty Days!
"What audacity!" Mu Chen's eyes burst with terrifying cold light, his anger intense. The Envoy had actually dared to secretly change the heavens and alter the rules of the Small World!
"Senior Brother, what does this mean?" Lin Feng's eyes also narrowed. These three sun characters were probably visible to everyone in the entire Small World—words at the utmost point of the sky.
"Only the Envoy controls the power of the sun, moon, and stars in this Small World. He is arbitrarily manipulating the rules of the Small World, telling us that within thirty days, we must go to the Holy City, or else he will close the world passage!" Mu Chen said coldly.
Lin Feng's eyes also narrowed. Last time, when they wanted to go to the Holy City, the Envoy had refused them. This time, he was imposing a time limit on their departure.
It wasn't just Mu Chen and Lin Feng who saw the command in the void. At this moment, everyone in the Eight Wastelands and Nine Abyss raised their heads. Even in places that had been rainy, the rain suddenly disappeared, and they saw the golden characters formed by sunlight in the sky. Countless ordinary people were left speechless by this miraculous scene. What kind of expert could carve words in the sky?
"Bastard!" Yu Huang was together with several disciples of the Heavenly Terrace, looking at the void with eyes full of anger. The disciples of the Heavenly Terrace were very surprised; they had never seen Yu Huang so furious.
The Eastern Emperor naturally also saw the characters in the void, a faint smile appearing in his eyes. He thought to himself, "Having managed this Small World for so many years, the Envoy's confidence has also inflated. His courage is getting bigger and bigger!"
Just as the Envoy himself had said, he considered himself the ruler of this world. He was the king, and his words were decrees. Of course, without the benefits the Eastern Emperor had given him twice, the Envoy wouldn't have done this!
Nine Abyss Twelve Kingdoms, a small city, Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa.
The old man of Heavenly Wall Mountain Villa slightly raised his head. The usually otherworldly old man now had a slight change in expression, his brow furrowed. Then a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "What audacity, to actually dare to arbitrarily move the world's rules!"
Yun Feiyang and Beiyan Yun came to the old man's side. Beiyan Yun asked, "Master, what is going on?"
"Someone has been audacious enough to move this Small World!" The old man's eyes gradually returned to calm. He said to Yun Feiyang and Beiyan Yun, "I wanted to help you improve your strength a bit more, but it seems that's no longer possible. Let's go!"
With that, the old man flicked his sleeve, and his body rolled through the air, carrying Yun Feiyang and Beiyan Yun as he teleported and flashed toward the direction of the Eight Wastelands Realm!
