Invincible Sovereign Lord, the first disciple beneath the Absolute Nothingness Daoist, the number one person beneath Martial Emperors in the surrounding region!
Numerous titles were gathered upon one person, admired and respected by the disciples of the Absolute Nothingness Palace, radiant and incomparable. Yet, when he died, it was so utterly clean, so easily crushed.
This young powerhouse, who possessed countless glories, was blasted apart with a single punch, his body shattered. Was it because he was too weak, or was Lin Feng too strong?
Invincible beneath Martial Emperors—thinking of it now, it seemed somewhat grating!
The people of the Absolute Nothingness Palace gazed into the distance at the figure that had long since vanished, their hearts still trembling uncontrollably, their heartbeats far faster than usual. The second disciple of the Absolute Nothingness Daoist was drenched in cold sweat, his breathing heavy. If he hadn't stepped aside just now, he would likely be a dead man by now.
He knew very well how strong his senior brother was. Having mastered the ultimate profound meaning, he too had stepped into the realm of an Invincible Sovereign Lord. But before his senior brother, he was not even worth a single exchange. Yet, with just one punch, his senior brother was dead.
"That punch, splitting the earth—just how strong was it?" he murmured softly, a cold wind constantly swirling around him.
Lin Feng, who had long since left, would never know what the people of the Absolute Nothingness Palace were thinking. At this moment, he was already on the road to the Qiankun Main City with Xi Yao.
The Qiankun Great Emperor was the number one Array Dao expert in this small world, and he had left behind the Qiankun Imperial Palace within the Qiankun Main City. Thus, it was highly likely that the Qiankun Great Emperor was the Wuji Heavenly Emperor.
Moreover, in this small world, Great Emperors were extremely rare, and those skilled in Array Dao needed no further elaboration. The Wuji Heavenly Emperor had a terrifying reputation even in the great world, demonstrating his profound mastery of Array Dao. In this small world, it was entirely possible that he was the number one Array Dao expert.
Seven days later, in the void above, a sword flew through the air. Lin Feng gazed into the distance and saw a vast main city before him—the Qiankun Main City. They had arrived!
Lin Feng flew his sword into the Qiankun Main City, his long robe fluttering in the wind. Xi Yao watched Lin Feng's figure, a hint of a peculiar expression in her eyes. This mysterious and powerful, handsome young man seemed like an enigma, possessing terrifying combat strength, easily able to destroy the one known as the first disciple beneath the Absolute Nothingness Daoist. Yet he seemed completely ignorant of the Nine Heavens Continent, asking her many strange questions—questions that, in her view, were common knowledge to everyone on the continent. Xi Yao sometimes wondered if this man had been cultivating in seclusion deep in the mountains all along, only emerging into the world after reaching a certain level of cultivation.
However, being able to reach such a realm and possess such combat power solely through closed-door cultivation was indeed an astonishing feat.
In short, Xi Yao could not see through Lin Feng at all. This was because he knew that this continent was merely a corner of the Nine Heavens Continent, a small world among countless worlds. The true Nine Heavens Continent was the world outside, but she did not know this, which was why she found Lin Feng, an outsider, so inexplicable.
In Xi Yao's eyes, Lin Feng was not only mysterious but also indifferent to romance. She had tried her best, yet it had no effect on Lin Feng; he remained cold and distant toward her.
Lin Feng swept his gaze across the area below. The martial artists in this main city were clearly stronger than those in the city where Xi Yao lived. Venerable Martial realm cultivators could be seen everywhere, and there were quite a few Sovereign Lord-level experts. Occasionally, he could even spot a few unfathomable Martial Emperors. However, none of this concerned Lin Feng. He had come only for the Qiankun Great Emperor, to see if this number one Array Dao expert of the small world was indeed the Wuji Heavenly Emperor.
"Let's go find out the location of the Qiankun Imperial Palace," Lin Feng thought. With a flicker of his mind, his body plunged downward, suddenly appearing before a Venerable Martial realm cultivator. He asked, "Excuse me!"
The man looked Lin Feng over, sensing that he should be at the Sovereign Lord level, and immediately his expression became somewhat more respectful.
"Which direction is the Qiankun Palace?" Lin Feng asked the man.
"The Qiankun Palace again!" The Venerable Martial realm cultivator's expression stiffened slightly as he muttered, causing a flicker of surprise in Lin Feng's eyes. He asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Senior, in recent years, many people have come to this main city, heading to the Qiankun Palace. I don't know what they intend to do," the man murmured, but he still pointed out the location of the Qiankun Palace for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng rose into the air again, but many thoughts crossed his mind. So, many people had been inquiring about the Qiankun Palace in recent years. It seemed he was far from the first to arrive here. Probably long before him, others had already used the copper pieces to determine that the Imperial Palace was within the Four Symbols Death Ground, braved the danger to enter, and then used the giant elephant's guidance to reach this world.
The Qiankun Palace was not located in the center of the Qiankun Main City but at the edge of the city. The majestic palace itself was like a castle, a single palace that stretched beyond the horizon. Whether in width or length, the eye could not reach its end. It was said that the Qiankun Imperial Palace spanned millions of miles, truly the number one palace in the Nine Heavens Continent. No other palace could match its vastness, majesty, and grandeur.
When Lin Feng arrived outside the Qiankun Palace, he too was stunned by its sheer scale. An imperial palace, like a city, and he could not see anything inside. There was only a single majestic imperial gate, golden, with characters carved on it: Wuji.
"Wuji Imperial Palace!" Lin Feng landed before that majestic gate. This imperial palace was exactly the same as the one that had appeared when the five copper pieces merged into one—though that had been a miniature phantom. The palace before him was the real Wuji Imperial Palace.
"Wuji!" Xi Yao's gaze also fell upon the two characters "Wuji" on the majestic gate. The person Lin Feng had been searching for was none other than the Wuji Heavenly Emperor. And outside the Qiankun Great Emperor's Qiankun Gate were carved the characters "Wuji."
Could it be that the Wuji Heavenly Emperor Lin Feng spoke of was truly the Qiankun Great Emperor?
"Found it!" Lin Feng murmured. The Wuji Imperial Palace was actually inside this small world within the Four Symbols Death Ground. He wondered how many people had stepped through that imperial gate before him.
Lin Feng was certain that he was not the first to arrive. Perhaps long before him, others had already found this place.
At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly felt a few gazes fall upon him. He slowly swept his eyes across the void and saw several figures staring at him.
Among these people, Lin Feng spotted many familiar faces. There had been over a hundred people who had boarded the guiding giant elephant with him and been brought to this small world. Some had already found this place before him, and many were Martial Emperor-level experts. They had moved faster than he had, clearly having deduced after their inquiries that the Qiankun Great Emperor was likely the Wuji Great Emperor of the great world.
However, even though they had reached the real Wuji Imperial Palace, they hesitated, lingering outside, not daring to enter immediately.
The Wuji Heavenly Emperor was skilled in Array Dao, and his array-based killing techniques were extremely powerful, shaking vast regions and having slain many terrifying experts. Thus, even though his imperial palace was right before them, the crowd still hesitated, afraid to enter. They were waiting, waiting for an opportunity, to see if there would be a guide. Just like outside the Four Symbols Death Ground, someone had led the way, giving them hope, so they had entered. These people were all very shrewd, wanting great opportunities but also cherishing their lives.
"It's him!" At that moment, two more figures came rolling in from afar. Their pupils contracted when they saw Lin Feng. Lin Feng turned his gaze and saw that these two were none other than Lu Yao and the young man he had formed an alliance with, who had once urged Lu Yao to draw his sword against Lin Feng. These two had been separated when the giant elephant tossed them into this space, but they had met again midway and traveled together to find this place. They thought they had moved quickly enough, but they hadn't expected that the experts and Lin Feng would be faster than them.
"I'm going to enter the Imperial Palace. Wait for me outside. If you don't want to wait, then leave," Lin Feng said to Xi Yao, causing her beautiful eyes to freeze. "Lin Feng, are you crazy? This is the Qiankun Great Emperor's palace, revered by all. And you want to go in?"
A Great Emperor was an existence that could easily crush them with a single slap. How could Lin Feng dare to step into a Great Emperor's palace? In Xi Yao's eyes, Lin Feng had lost his mind. But a flicker of doubt arose in her heart: why had Lin Feng been searching for the Wuji Imperial Palace from the very beginning? Could there really be some hidden secret inside?
Regardless of what Xi Yao thought, Lin Feng's steps had already moved forward. He possessed a wisp of the Wuji Heavenly Emperor's divine will. Now that he was outside the Imperial Palace, how could he not try to enter? Since the Qiankun Great Emperor was the Wuji Heavenly Emperor, it was clear that the Qiankun Great Emperor had already fallen, leaving behind this Imperial Palace in this world.
