Chapter 1590: Ruin Array Dao
At the Qi Tian Fortress encampment, Golden Dust Lord sat cross-legged within the hall. Upon hearing the report from the person below, a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. An array dao master, and one who had managed to detain the people of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace.
"You say he is also skilled in array talismans?" Golden Dust Lord asked the person below.
"I saw with my own eyes that he used an array talisman to kill a Ninth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm expert, killing him instantly. However, I cannot be certain whether he personally inscribed that talisman," the person below responded respectfully. Golden Dust Lord's eyes sharpened, and he nodded slightly before rising to his feet. "If I can recruit an array dao master for Qi Tian Fortress, that would count as a merit."
Golden Dust Lord understood clearly that an array dao master capable of setting up powerful formations and inscribing array talismans possessed immense value. Such individuals were always sought after by major powers.
With this thought, Golden Dust Lord soared into the air, rushing at top speed toward the direction the man had indicated, hoping he would not be too late.
At that moment, outside the courtyard where Lin Feng resided, golden sacred qi surged and shimmered in the void from afar, dazzling and blinding. The crowd looked up, feeling as if they could not even open their eyes.
"Martial Emperor? An expert from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace?" The crowd tensed. It seemed that Zhou Tianmu and his group had been trapped, drawing the attention of a Martial Emperor from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace.
Many figures moved, preparing to watch the spectacle. The array dao master was said to be extremely arrogant, ignoring the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. They wondered how he would deal with a Martial Emperor.
"Who dares to touch the people of my Great Zhou Immortal Palace!" The Martial Emperor's voice arrived before his person, rolling like thunder. The sound waves, like his golden sacred qi, possessed terrifying penetrating power. With a single step, he seemed to tear through space, instantly descending above Lin Feng's courtyard.
"He's here!" The onlookers' expressions tightened. The Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace had arrived.
"Illusion formation?" The Martial Emperor's gaze fell upon the space below. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes. He stepped on the void, and a terrifying golden light curtain pressed down upon the illusion formation below, seeking to crush everything to dust.
Under the light of the law, the illusion formation began to collapse and crack. The formation Mu Yi had set up was not particularly strong, and under the Martial Emperor's pressure, it showed signs of failing, beginning to break apart.
Seeing someone dare to tamper with his formation, a fierce coldness bloomed in Mu Yi's eyes.
"Senior Mu Yi, leave this to me," Lin Feng said with a faint smile. Mu Yi glanced at Lin Feng in surprise, then nodded with a smile. He secretly thought that Lin Feng must have some grudge against these people, which was why he had disguised himself. He just didn't know Lin Feng's true purpose.
Withdrawing all his aura, Mu Yi now seemed like an ordinary person. He even walked into the room, leaving everything to Lin Feng. He was curious to see how Lin Feng would deal with a Martial Emperor-level expert.
Above, a rumbling, crushing force continuously battered the illusion formation. Finally, the illusion formation collapsed, the mist dissipated, and the trapped Zhou Tianmu and his group were revealed.
Zhou Tianmu and the others scanned their surroundings. Seeing that they had been so close to Lin Feng yet unable to escape the formation, their faces twisted with rage.
"Kill him! Tear him into pieces!" Zhou Tianmu roared at the figure in the sky, his voice filled with fury. One of his legs was still bloody, and his face remained pale.
The Martial Emperor stood in the void, staring down at Lin Feng. His sharp eyes radiated a terrifying, piercing light.
"How dare you touch someone from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace!" The Martial Emperor's face turned completely cold upon seeing Zhou Tianmu's severed leg. Although Zhou Tianmu was a disappointment, he was still a direct descendant of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. He could not be humiliated by others.
"Boom!" With a single step, a terrifying force swept across heaven and earth. The entire void was filled with a golden light curtain. Murderous intent flickered in the Martial Emperor's eyes.
Lin Feng glanced at the Martial Emperor in the sky, then turned his gaze to the side. Seeing some people preparing to leap into the air, Lin Feng suddenly stomped his foot on the ground. In an instant, a light curtain appeared. Beneath those who were about to take flight, brilliant patterns suddenly lit up. Demonic flames of destruction surged toward the sky. Screams echoed through the void as the bodies of those who tried to flee were instantly engulfed in terrifying demonic flames, vanishing in the fire.
"Did I say you could leave?" Lin Feng's eyes swept over Zhou Tianmu's direction, his voice icy cold. The others trembled violently at the sight, their faces turning pale. Besides the illusion formation, there was also a powerful killing array dao.
"Your formations are indeed impressive, sir," a voice rolled in from afar. Lin Feng turned his gaze and saw Golden Dust Lord appear before him. A faint smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. It seemed he could stir up some commotion.
Not only Golden Dust Lord, but Lin Feng also spotted several Martial Emperors stepping through the void, stopping at a distance to watch the unfolding events.
The Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace grew even colder, his eyes filled with killing intent. Lin Feng dared to kill members of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace right in front of him. This was too arrogant.
Zhou Tianmu and the others were still trapped within the array dao. As long as Lin Feng stomped his foot to activate the formation, he could kill them all. Thus, although the Martial Emperor wished to strike Lin Feng down immediately, he dared not act recklessly. He would have to kill Lin Feng in one blow, giving him no chance to take that step.
"Brother Zhou, as a Martial Emperor, why bully a junior? Especially one who is a powerful array dao master," Golden Dust Lord stepped forward and spoke slowly. Seeing Lin Feng's array dao power firsthand gave him a new perspective. Lin Feng was only at the Eighth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, yet he could inscribe sacred patterns using profound meaning. If he were to step into the Martial Emperor Realm and inscribe formations with law power, his power would be even more terrifying. He could easily kill Martial Emperors.
Such an array dao master had terrifying potential.
"This is a matter of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. It has nothing to do with you," the Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace said coldly, sweeping his gaze over Golden Dust Lord. This Golden Dust Lord wanted to interfere. Golden Dust Lord's intentions were clear, but today, Lin Feng must die. If Lin Feng had not killed anyone from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, perhaps the matter could have been resolved. But now that enmity had been established, the only option was annihilation.
Golden Dust Lord's sharp eyes flickered as he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Sir, would you be willing to join Qi Tian Fortress?"
Hearing this, the Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace's eyes grew even sharper. Golden sacred qi spread across heaven and earth. He wanted to pull Lin Feng into Qi Tian Fortress and then openly protect him. Shameless.
"Whoosh!" In an instant, the Martial Emperor moved like a bolt of lightning, landing on the ground. He stomped heavily, and a terrifying golden light curtain sealed the earth, while simultaneously lifting Zhou Tianmu and his group into the air.
Zhou Tianmu and the others understood immediately. They all soared into the sky like lightning, leaving the ground covered by the formation. Only when they reached a height of a thousand meters did they dare to stop.
"Kill him!" Zhou Tianmu hovered above Lin Feng, looking down with a sharp, murderous gaze.
"Of course I will," the Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace said coldly.
"Sir!" Golden Dust Lord spoke again, saying to Lin Feng, "I will never allow the Great Zhou Immortal Palace to harm anyone from Qi Tian Fortress."
Golden Dust Lord's implication was clear: if Lin Feng agreed, he would become a member of Qi Tian Fortress, and Golden Dust Lord would not let anyone touch him.
"Apologies," Lin Feng said with a smile to Golden Dust Lord, causing a look of surprise to appear in Golden Dust Lord's eyes, followed by a silent regret.
The surrounding crowd was also surprised. Lin Feng was at the Eighth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, facing a Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace, yet he had refused the protection offered by Qi Tian Fortress.
"Golden Dust, it seems he doesn't appreciate your kindness," the Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace sneered at Golden Dust Lord. Then, with another step on the void, terrifying golden sacred qi began to envelop Lin Feng's body. "You truly seek death!"
"Kill!" The Martial Emperor's thousandfold momentum descended upon Lin Feng. At the same time, a slash of golden sacred qi shot out, transforming into a sacred sword light—a law sword that could cleave a Sovereign Martial Realm cultivator in one strike.
Lin Feng's hand trembled slightly as he tossed an array talisman forward. The golden sacred qi struck the talisman, causing it to explode violently. At the same time, Lin Feng lifted his foot and stomped heavily on the ground. Terrifying light spread outward. In an instant, the entire courtyard lit up with a dazzling radiance.
"Array dao diagram!" The crowd's eyes narrowed. The entire courtyard was ablaze with light. Patterns became incredibly clear, appearing out of nowhere. A terrifying destructive force suddenly erupted. A shocking scene unfolded: with Lin Feng at the center, demonic flames of destruction surged toward the sky. Lin Feng stood amidst the demonic fire.
"Not good!" The moment the patterns lit up, the Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace sensed a terrifying force of destruction—a power born of demonic and flame elements, pure destruction that could break through anything.
A layer of golden sacred qi armor instantly solidified around him, formed by law power. But the destructive demonic flames pierced through everything. Before the armor could fully form, demonic fire ignited on his body. A terrifying force surged into his being, and even the armor that had begun to solidify started to crack.
"The Ruin Array Dao is extremely powerful, but since I inscribed it with profound meaning while he wields law power, I cannot kill him instantly," Lin Feng thought to himself. Seeing the Martial Emperor shoot into the sky, Lin Feng stomped his legs again. The light of the array dao pierced the heavens, seeking to cover everything in the void.
"No..." The Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace roared in fury. Although the demonic fire was strong, it could not inflict a fatal wound. However, the moment the formation exploded, a terrifying destructive force had surged into his body, wreaking havoc within and greatly reducing his resistance.
At the same time, Lin Feng moved. Holding array talismans in both hands, he charged straight at the Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace.
