Chapter 1527: Escape
"Soul attacks are far more terrifying than physical attacks!" Seeing Mu Chen kill another Martial Emperor, causing the laws on the opponent's body to leak out, the crowd felt a chill in their hearts. Even if they were to withstand a physical attack from a Mid-rank Emperor, those powerful cultivators might not die immediately and could still hold on. However, Mu Chen's soul attacks made their souls scatter and vanish, rendering any strong defense useless.
The Rock Martial Emperor suddenly stopped in his tracks. He excelled in the rock law power derived from the Earth Law, and his defensive capabilities were extremely formidable. He could cover his body with a terrifying rock-light armor, confident that even ordinary Mid-rank Emperor attacks could be endured once or twice. But Mu Chen's attacks seemed to directly obliterate the soul, and he dared not face them.
"Ah..." At that moment, a miserable scream came from another direction, causing the crowd's eyes to twitch slightly.
"Master!" Yiren Lei's voice carried a tone of sorrow. As she watched her master's delicate body collapse limply, her face lost its color, and her enchanting eyes no longer held allure—only panic.
The Six Desires Martial Emperor's body was pierced through by a light screen. That terrifying void light screen seemed like a golden seal pattern, and the law power began to leak out as well—a sign of a Martial Emperor's fall.
"Yiren, live well!" The Six Desires Martial Emperor revealed a desolate smile, turning back to glance at Yiren Lei, still as stunning as ever. Mu Chen had killed two of their Martial Emperors, and the opponent's Mid-rank Emperor had slain the Six Desires Martial Emperor. Moreover, the enemy had more Martial Emperors from the start. The crowd dared not imagine how terrifyingly vast the power behind the Emperor-Slaying Alliance truly was.
"Boom!" A terrifying tearing force destroyed the Six Desires Martial Emperor's body. The sharp-featured Mid-rank Emperor took a step forward, moving toward Mu Chen.
Lin Feng surveyed the battle scene around him, his face exceptionally pale. If Yan Di did not break through this sealed void soon, it would be an absolute disaster for those who had emerged from the small world.
Just then, the earth began to tremble. The crowd clearly felt this pulse, as if the entire ground was about to be overturned. Suddenly, an explosive force like a volcanic eruption appeared, and with a loud rumble, something seemed to shatter in the void. The fighting crowd's eyes suddenly focused—Yan Di had succeeded!
The Mid-rank Emperor who had killed the Six Desires Martial Emperor was now clashing with Mu Chen. His sharp, piercing gaze shot toward Yan Di in the distance, shock evident in his heart. How could this be? How could someone from that small world break through the sealed void? It seemed impossible, yet someone had done it.
"Sikong Changming, you take over against this man, and I'll intercept him!" This powerful cultivator said to another Mid-rank Emperor. Then, one replaced his position, while he stepped forward, lunging toward Yan Di. With a single step, stars shifted and the void twisted. The crowd's eyes could not keep up with his speed. He could see that Yan Di's steps were swift, adept at using the power of heaven and earth to move. If he did not intercept that man, he might take everyone here away.
"Go, scatter and flee!" Mu Chen shouted at Lin Feng and the others as he saw the sealed void broken open. His body even began to burn, as if his soul was ablaze.
"Senior Brother!" The people of Heavenly Terrace trembled violently. Although they already knew Mu Chen was Stone Emperor, they still called him Senior Brother, a habit formed over many years.
"Boom!" Mu Chen's body seemed to explode. Many of his phantom images appeared, suddenly grabbing those who were not Martial Emperors and fleeing in all directions at terrifying speed.
"Where do you think you're going!" Sikong Changming's gaze turned ice-cold. The void shifted, and a pair of terrifying eyes appeared in the sky. Wherever they swept, the void trembled, and Mu Chen's phantom images continuously shattered.
Mu Chen's body blazed with flames. Thousands of divine thoughts rolled through the void, and countless palm prints flickered unpredictably, attacking Sikong Changming to prevent him from controlling those heavenly eyes in the sky.
Lin Feng and Yu Emperor's bodies were wrapped in Mu Chen's phantom images, moving at an incredible speed. Around them, in front and behind, left and right, were many other phantom images of Mu Chen, all protecting them as they fled. The others from Heavenly Terrace were shielded and sent fleeing in different directions.
"Lin Feng, escape!" Mu Chen's phantom image could even speak human words. As the phantom images behind continuously shattered, the one holding Lin Feng and Yu Emperor began to burn, its speed surging, becoming even faster. In an instant, it had covered an unknown distance.
"Senior Brother, take care of yourself too." Lin Feng looked at Mu Chen's phantom image and spoke solemnly.
"Don't worry, it's not that easy for them to kill me." Mu Chen's phantom image laughed, continuing to burn itself to increase speed.
Lin Feng sighed inwardly. In the end, it was the Watchers, led by Mu Chen, who truly came to the rescue of all the younger generation. The Heavenly Demon Emperor had thought of fleeing from the start, and the Assassin Emperor had no strong will to fight. To them, their own lives were naturally more precious than those of their disciples. As long as they survived, that was enough. But Senior Brother was helping everyone escape, because he hoped that one day, these people could destroy this Emperor-Slaying Alliance.
"I can only send you this far. This world is vast; if you go out, they won't find you." Mu Chen's figure grew increasingly illusory, finally vanishing in the flames. At this moment, Lin Feng was still in the desert, but he was already far from where the battle had taken place.
"Master!" Lin Feng supported Yu Emperor. Now, Yu Emperor was severely injured and needed his care. Mu Chen had sent them together so they could rely on each other. Even though Yu Emperor was heavily wounded, he was still a Martial Emperor, possessing a powerful deterrent force.
"I'm fine." Yu Emperor smiled at Lin Feng, but the trace of worry in his eyes was hard to hide. Lin Feng understood that he was concerned about Senior Brother and the safety of the people from Heavenly Terrace.
"Master, we need to move faster!" Lin Feng said. Yu Emperor naturally understood. Although Mu Chen had used his burning soul power to send them to this distant place, they were far from out of danger. A Martial Emperor's speed was terrifying. If the enemy sent Martial Emperors to search, they would find them quickly.
Thus, the two dared not delay for a moment, frantically flickering away.
"Someone's there?" Just then, Lin Feng and the others noticed several figures shooting toward them from afar. Lin Feng's expression froze. These people exuded vast, surging auras, extremely powerful. He didn't know if any Martial Emperors were among them, but even if not, they were definitely formidable figures below the Martial Emperor level.
"Lin Feng, one of those four is a Martial Emperor." Yu Emperor's words made Lin Feng feel a hint of despair. What a terrifying force. In such a distant, peripheral area, there was still a group waiting for them. This kind of defense was suffocating. If those people hadn't intended to kill them, they would already be dead. And if not for Yan Di and Mu Chen, no one could have escaped that space.
"Hateful!" A cold light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. If not for that Envoy breaking the world's rules, this situation would never have occurred. That Envoy must have been bribed. Of course, they themselves had underestimated the enemy's blocking power here. Even the mobilization of all the Martial Emperors from the Eight Wastelands was not enough.
Forcing down the uneasy panic, Lin Feng's eyes turned pitch-black, maintaining absolute calm. A powerful belief burned in his heart: live well, get out, and witness this magnificent world!
"You can't escape!" The Martial Emperor among the four spoke coldly, glancing at Yu Emperor. There was even an injured Martial Emperor who had escaped. But this would be their end. These people would not slip through their grasp. He raised his hands, and threads of lightning power flickered. A killing aura was released, and he showed killing intent toward Yu Emperor.
"Let us pass, and I'll give you a benefit you wouldn't dare dream of!" Suddenly, Lin Feng's voice rang out, causing the Martial Emperor's expression to pause slightly. Then he looked at Lin Feng with a smile and said, "What benefit?"
"A Great Emperor's Ancient Scripture!"
Lin Feng said calmly, making the Martial Emperor's smile suddenly stiffen. Then his gaze sharpened as he looked at Lin Feng as if he were a treasure. Lin Feng possessed an Emperor Scripture?
"Don't think about killing me to silence me. This Emperor Scripture I obtained by chance exists only in my divine thoughts. If you kill me, you'll have nothing. If you don't believe me, you can take that gamble!" Lin Feng seemed to see through the other's thoughts and continued speaking, causing the man to look deeply at Lin Feng.
"Can you first prove that you have an Emperor Scripture?"
"The technique I cultivate is an Emperor Scripture. Feel it for yourself!" The overwhelming demonic intent on Lin Feng's body suddenly erupted, soaring upward. His entire being turned pitch-black and icy. At this moment, Lin Feng stood casually, giving the illusion of a demon lord or demon king.
"This aura... a Royal Scripture can't reach this level!" The Martial Emperor's eyes were like lightning, becoming even sharper. He himself cultivated a Royal Scripture, so he could naturally sense it. Lin Feng truly possessed an Emperor Scripture. His gaze grew fervent. A Great Emperor's Ancient Scripture was enough to drive anyone mad.
"Let us leave, and I'll teach you the Emperor Scripture!" Lin Feng's voice was full of temptation, making the Martial Emperor's mind race. What was Lin Feng's intention? If he agreed to let him go, would Lin Feng dare to teach him the Emperor Scripture?
