Chapter 1559: A New Martial Emperor
In the region centered around Yaoye Island, atop countless floating islands, many were inhabited by Martial Emperor-level experts.
At this moment, on one floating island, a Giant Earth Demon Ape was cultivating, practicing a set of fist techniques. With each punch thrown, the void trembled continuously, as if hordes of Giant Earth Demon Apes were galloping through the air, enough to shatter a person's blood vessels. The surrounding area—whether mountains or slopes—was completely swept clean, leveled to the ground. The fist technique grew increasingly fierce, each strike carrying the heaviness and power of the earth, infused with the domineering and majestic aura of a demon, faintly suggesting the power to split heaven and earth.
"Little Demon Ape!" At that moment, a crisp voice rang out. The Giant Earth Demon Ape looked up and immediately saw a figure in a red robe in the void. His expression stiffened slightly. This female demon had arrived.
"Sister Fox Moon!" The massive Giant Earth Demon Ape called out to the void, his voice rumbling, creating a sense of dissonance—such a colossal body addressing a petite figure as "big sister."
"Little Demon Ape, I've brought a little one for you to practice on. Just don't kill him," Fox Moon said with a giggle. Then her red robe drifted away, and the Giant Earth Demon Ape turned his gaze to see a human figure walking toward him.
"Just don't kill him." Lin Feng, who had just entered, shuddered slightly at Fox Moon's departing words. This female demon was gentle with him, but when she handed him over, she never showed any restraint. However, Lin Feng had long grown accustomed to this female demon and was prepared to be tormented.
The Giant Earth Demon Ape looked at Lin Feng, a playful smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. He grinned broadly, looking quite cheerful. He had always been the one tormented by the female demon, and now he could finally torment someone she brought. How exciting! Still, the Giant Earth Demon Ape worried whether Lin Feng, this frail-looking human, might be too fragile.
So, the Giant Earth Demon Ape gently reached out his palm, causing the void to tremble as the power of the Earth Law pressed down on Lin Feng.
"Whoosh!" Lin Feng's figure moved like the wind, vanishing in an instant. This caught the Giant Earth Demon Ape off guard. Watching Lin Feng transform into a streak of light, closing in on him, the ape grinned even more brightly.
"Where do you think you're going!" A massive fleshy palm materialized, reaching out to grab Lin Feng's body. A thousandfold momentum descended upon Lin Feng. The ape wanted to see how this little one would dodge.
A faint shimmer of light appeared as Lin Feng moved against the momentum, turning into a blurry afterimage at an inconceivable speed. In the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of the Giant Earth Demon Ape and unleashed a devastating demonic fist strike. Heaven and earth shook violently. With a dull thud, the punch landed on the Giant Earth Demon Ape's body, leaving the ape momentarily stunned. He looked down at his chest—it hurt a little!
"What a monstrous physique!" Lin Feng's expression tightened at the sight. His offensive power was by no means weak, yet it had no effect on the Giant Earth Demon Ape. But thinking about what kind of demon beast this giant creature was, Lin Feng understood. The Giant Earth Demon Ape was naturally adept at earth and demonic powers—both of which provided supreme defense. Its physical toughness was unimaginable. Even a true Martial Emperor's law-based attack might not be able to shake its formidable body. This was a monster. How could Fox Moon, with her petite frame, make this Giant Earth Demon Ape so afraid of her?
Perhaps it was a matter of realm difference. But thinking that Fox Moon's first training session had him face the Giant Earth Demon Ape, Lin Feng began silently cursing her again. Too ruthless—wasn't this just asking to be tormented?
As he expected, it wasn't long before Lin Feng was sent flying horizontally off the floating island. However, his resilience was strong enough. After recovering for a short while, he stood up again and stepped back onto the island. Thus, the floating island witnessed the bizarre scene of Lin Feng being sent flying time and again.
Finally, when Lin Feng could no longer endure, he left the floating island and returned to Yaoye Island to continue his secluded cultivation for a period. Over the following days, Fox Moon often took him out, letting Martial Emperors help him train. Although Lin Feng was thoroughly beaten each time, he never grew tired of it. Every time Fox Moon appeared, his eyes would light up, prompting Fox Moon to joke that Lin Feng might be falling in love with her. Hearing this, Lin Feng would shudder—he wanted to live a few more years.
Life on Yaoye Island was fulfilling for Lin Feng. Each day seemed to pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, a year and seven months had passed since Divine Feather Martial Emperor brought him to Yaoye Island, yet Lin Feng felt as if only a few months had gone by. Every day, he felt his power growing, occasionally experiencing thrilling battles. It was a wonderful feeling. His physical body was now far stronger than before. Even the Giant Earth Demon Ape's palm strikes could now be withstood.
Qing Di Mountain was not truly hidden in the mountains as its name suggested. Instead, it was located in a major city named after it—Qing Di City.
In Qing Di City, Qing Di Mountain was undoubtedly a place of longing. The floating mountain, shrouded in immortal mist, towered ten thousand zhang high. The Qing Di Mountain region was a holy land, holding absolute authority over the entire area.
At this moment, on Qing Di Mountain, several figures stood at the edge, gazing down at the main city below. Martial artists always enjoyed standing high, savoring the feeling of being looked up to by others.
"A year and a half!" One figure murmured softly, his white robe fluttering as he gazed into the distance. If Lin Feng were here, he would recognize this person—it was none other than Qi Yuchen of the Qi Clan. His aura was now more restrained, standing there with a steady-as-a-mountain presence.
That day, Lin Feng had dealt him a heavy blow, thoroughly thrashing him—a genius of the Qi Tian Fortress youth—before leaving with Divine Feather Martial Emperor. He had also made a pact with Inverse Dust Martial Emperor and taken Mu Yun away. Qi Yuchen had even experienced a period of depression. Before leaving, Qi Yunsheng had said to him: "If you get past this, come to Qing Di Mountain. If not, go guard the Small World Qi Clan."
Those words had deeply shaken Qi Yuchen. Eventually, he crossed that hurdle and moved forward. Thus, he set foot on Qing Di Mountain and achieved what he had today.
"Lin Feng!" Qi Yuchen clenched his fist, causing the void to roar violently. A terrifying force gathered into a raging storm, even seeming to materialize Lin Feng's figure. Then, with a sudden tremor of his hand, the phantom image in the void shattered and collapsed. Even though he had overcome that obstacle, he still wanted to slay Lin Feng—to cut down his own inner demon. Now that he had mastered a thousandfold momentum, after killing Lin Feng, he would go into secluded cultivation, striving to ascend to the imperial throne.
"You want to kill him too." At that moment, a voice came from beside him. Qi Yuchen turned his gaze, meeting Zhou Tianruo's eyes.
"Of course!" Qi Yuchen said coldly.
"Lin Feng's life is mine!" Zhou Tianruo radiated a terrifying golden sacred aura, dazzling and brilliant. His hatred for Lin Feng was no less than Qi Yuchen's. He was determined to kill Lin Feng.
"Then it depends on whether you have the ability!" Qi Yuchen replied coldly. Because of the pact between Inverse Dust Martial Emperor and Divine Feather Martial Emperor, the top twelve ranked individuals were all allowed to enter Qing Di Mountain and become martial artists there. Moreover, those who arrived received intensive training from Qing Di Mountain. Inverse Dust Martial Emperor even personally guided them, assigning Martial Emperor-level experts to teach them suitable powers and even having Martial Emperors spar with them.
It could be said that over the past year or so, all of their progress had been terrifying. Now, whether it was Qi Yuchen or Zhou Tianruo, their confidence was swelling. As Invincible Sovereign Lords, they had even set one foot into the imperial throne. Beneath the Martial Emperor realm, who could contend with them?
"Of course. And Lin Feng hasn't wasted this past year either," Zhou Tianruo said calmly. Lin Feng's talent had never been inferior to theirs. In the past, at the Seventh Layer of the Sovereign Martial Realm, who knew where he stood now? It was very likely that Lin Feng had also stepped into the Invincible Sovereign Lord realm. Their next meeting would probably be a clash between Invincible Sovereign Lords.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a terrifying force pierced through heaven and earth. Qi Yuchen and Zhou Tianruo's hearts trembled violently. They turned back to look deep into Qing Di Mountain, where they saw a beam of law light descending from the sky, penetrating the void.
"Someone has become a Martial Emperor!" At that moment, many on Qing Di Mountain turned their gazes toward that direction. This was a sign of stepping into the Martial Emperor realm.
"The power of the Void Law. Wen Aofeng has ascended to the imperial throne!" Brilliant light flashed in the eyes of both Qi Yuchen and Zhou Tianruo. Wen Aofeng had ultimately taken that step faster than them, entering the Martial Emperor realm!
