Chapter 1591: Stirring the Winds and Clouds
"Buzz!" Lin Feng's palm trembled, and instantly a talisman shot toward the battered Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. The Martial Emperor's expression was cold to the extreme—he had actually been severely wounded by a formation inscribed by someone at the Venerable Martial realm.
A golden holy light spewed from his mouth, slashing toward the talisman. Terrifying demonic fire exploded and burned fiercely. However, the Martial Emperor found himself surrounded by talismans on all sides. Boundless golden holy light burst forth wildly, preventing any talisman from touching his body. They all detonated in the void, unleashing a fearsome force that swept through the entire space.
But at that moment, one of the exploding talismans did not release demonic fire. Instead—an illusion talisman. Suddenly, the Martial Emperor was trapped within an illusionary technique.
"Break for me!" the Martial Emperor roared. Countless beams of holy sword light slashed out, attempting to forcibly shatter the illusion. Yet talismans kept exploding within the illusion, endless and unceasing, while the talismans above also forced his body downward.
"Be careful." Zhou Tianmu and Di Xiu had long since fled far away. As Lin Feng's body descended to the ground again, Di Xiu shouted loudly.
"Activate!" Lin Feng released terrifying demonic power and flame power from his body. Instantly, countless patterns blazed to their brightest. The Ruin Array Dao activated once more, and the Ruin Demonic Fire continuously battered the Martial Emperor above.
"So ruthless!" The crowd's hearts twitched as they watched Lin Feng's actions. Lin Feng had thrown out twenty or thirty talismans at once. Any single talisman was enough to kill a peak Venerable Martial expert, yet Lin Feng was flinging them so recklessly. Talismans were not formations—once their power was unleashed, they vanished. Of course, this also proved Lin Feng's formidable mastery of the Array Dao. Every talisman possessed terrifying power, and he must have been able to inscribe them easily to use them so freely.
"Ah..." A miserable scream rang out, making everyone's hearts tremble. It was the voice of that Martial Emperor. With the Ruin Demonic Fire Array Dao continuously battering his body, even the strongest flesh could not withstand it.
With a thunderous explosion, all illusions shattered. The crowd once again saw the Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. Now his entire body was bathed in demonic fire, his form beginning to grow ethereal. His legs had already vanished. His eyes held despair and deep resentment.
Of course he resented it. As a Martial Emperor, he had fallen today at the hands of an Eighth Layer Venerable Martial Array Dao cultivator, killed by formations.
With a thought, he tried to mobilize the power of laws, but found himself unable to do so. His body grew more and more illusory.
"My martial soul is not strong enough to exist independently of my flesh. I hate this!" The Martial Emperor gradually dissolved into nothingness within the demonic fire, completely swallowed by the Array Dao flames. A terrifying surge of law power rushed toward the heavens. With his death, the laws scattered!
Lin Feng stood quietly, very calm. There was none of the excitement the crowd had imagined at slaying a Martial Emperor, as if it were only natural.
"What a calm person. No wonder he refused my invitation." Golden Dust Lord thought to himself, the burning intensity in his gaze growing stronger. This yellow-faced youth had killed a Martial Emperor with formations. He was only at the Eighth Layer of Venerable Martial, yet with formations inscribed using Essence, he could slay an Emperor. This showed how terrifyingly powerful those formations were. Even from a great distance, he could feel the dreadful Ruin power when the formation erupted. If he had been at the center of that formation when it exploded, it would have been enough to kill him.
Other factions' people also stared intently at Lin Feng. Such a terrifying Array Dao master, once he grew up, would be too fearsome. It was better not to become his enemy, and best to become his friend.
Di Xiu, Zhou Tianmu, and the others from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace were already ashen-faced. Even a Martial Emperor had been killed by his formation power.
"Flee!" Zhou Tianmu's body moved stealthily, as if afraid to alert Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng's eyes lifted slightly, revealing a sinister smile. "Did I say you could leave?"
Zhou Tianmu's expression froze. His steps stopped abruptly, his face deathly pale. Lin Feng's talismans could easily kill him.
Lin Feng's body slowly rose into the air. Zhou Tianmu wanted to flee, but he had lost the courage to do so. A Martial Emperor had been killed by Lin Feng. That scene had too great an impact on him.
Standing opposite Zhou Tianmu, Lin Feng carefully examined him. He bore some resemblance to Zhou Tianruo and Zhou Tianxiao. Combined with his status as a direct descendant of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace and his ability to command a Martial Emperor, he was undoubtedly Zhou Tianruo's brother.
Of course, Lin Feng would not kill Zhou Tianmu. In his eyes, Zhou Tianmu carried no weight at all. Even Zhou Tianruo had lost the qualification to be his opponent. Only Zhou Tianxiao—that lofty figure who had mocked him as unworthy to speak of martial arts—would he trample beneath his feet.
As for the Zhou Tianmu before him, Lin Feng's palm suddenly struck out. With a thunderous boom, Zhou Tianmu was blasted back to the ground, spitting blood. Since Zhou Tianxiao liked to trample others from a position of strength to prove his existence, Lin Feng didn't mind trampling the people of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace.
"Scram." Lin Feng looked down from above at Zhou Tianmu, who was lying on the ground. Zhou Tianmu stood on one leg, looking up at Lin Feng who gazed down at him, feeling endless humiliation. He was being so despised, so humiliated. Lin Feng's calm, indifferent eyes told him that he, Zhou Tianmu, was not even worth a second thought. Lin Feng couldn't even be bothered to say another word. Only one word: Scram!
Carrying his severely wounded body, Zhou Tianmu fled in disgrace. Lin Feng landed on the ground, and the others from the Great Zhou Immortal Palace quickly scattered.
Golden Dust Lord slowly moved forward, looking at Lin Feng with a smile. "I am Golden Dust of Qi Tian Fortress. May I ask your name?"
Lin Feng glanced at Golden Dust Lord and frowned. "Are you used to speaking to people from such a height?"
Golden Dust Lord's expression stiffened slightly, showing some embarrassment. A trace of displeasure rose in his heart. This guy was too arrogant. But he still landed with a smile and said, "Golden Dust asks again."
"Mu En," Lin Feng replied casually. "If there's nothing else, please go."
Golden Dust Lord's brow twitched. His displeasure grew. This person was excessively arrogant. Even if his Array Dao was powerful, Golden Dust was still a Martial Emperor-level expert.
But how could someone like Golden Dust Lord reveal his thoughts? His smile only froze for a moment before returning to normal. "In that case, I won't disturb you."
With a slight bow, Golden Dust Lord left with displeasure, feeling stifled. Lin Feng's two words had left him speechless.
Seeing Golden Dust Lord snubbed, the other factions' people also quietly withdrew. Only some onlookers remained. Before long, Lin Feng's residence seemed to grow quiet again.
Mu Yi walked out of the courtyard and re-laid the destroyed formations, marveling at Lin Feng's powerful Array Dao comprehension. Lin Feng had used the Ruin Array Dao to kill a Martial Emperor. This was only one of the Three Thousand Grand Array Dao. If Lin Feng obtained all three thousand and derived the Heavenly Array Dao, how terrifying would that be? He would become another Wuji!
Lin Feng continued his secluded cultivation, re-inscribing some talismans. Outside, however, everyone was discussing his deeds. A Venerable Martial cultivator, using Array Dao power, had slain a Martial Emperor—and a Martial Emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace. With just this battle, Lin Feng's name spread throughout the buffer zone of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region.
Soon, the news reached the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses themselves. Those powerful forces all learned that in that buffer zone, there was a formidable young Array Dao master. Many from the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortresses had already set out, heading toward this buffer zone.
Around Lin Feng's residence, activity had suddenly increased. Many people liked to walk in this area, wanting to see what kind of extraordinary figure this Array Dao master who killed a Martial Emperor was. But the illusion formation blocked their view.
On the other side of the illusion formation, Lin Feng paid no attention to what was happening outside. He sat in the courtyard, waved his hand, and dispelled the illusion. Light poured down, casting a lazy glow over him.
"You fellow, what are you trying to do? Quite a few people have been watching us lately." Mu Yi looked at Lin Feng sitting in his chair and chuckled. This Lin Feng had come to the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region—what was his purpose?
"It doesn't matter. Let them watch. I just want to make things a bit lively here. Too much dead silence isn't good." A meaningful smile appeared on Lin Feng's face. Mu Yi shook his head slightly. He certainly couldn't guess what Lin Feng was thinking.
"Someone's coming again. Should I activate the illusion formation?" Mu Yi's eyes swept into the distance as he spoke to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's gaze pierced through the void, also looking toward the distant sky. He saw a group of figures flying through the air. From their attire, they were from the Medicine King Immortal Palace.
"Medicine King Immortal Palace!" A sinister smile curled at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. Since they were delivering themselves, let's make things even livelier!
At this moment, the group of young men from the Medicine King Immortal Palace had no idea that Lin Feng was already planning to target them. They came rolling in. Seeing that the illusion formation had been removed, they stepped down from above, looked at Mu Yi and Lin Feng below, slightly bowed, and said to Lin Feng, "We are from the Medicine King Immortal Palace, here to pay respects to the Array Dao master."
Lin Feng's lazy gaze looked toward the void. Suddenly, his sharp eyes seemed to pierce heaven and earth. His body shot up, and he said coldly, "Who allowed you to stand above me?"
"Sir..." The man tried to explain, but Lin Feng roared, "Get down here!"
"Fine." The young men from the Medicine King Immortal Palace stiffened. They knew the Medicine King Immortal Palace wanted to befriend Lin Feng. They had come first, and seeing the illusion formation gone, they had approached to make his acquaintance. They never expected this.
Watching their bodies descend to the ground, Lin Feng suddenly stomped his foot. Instantly, patterns flowed, and terrifying Ruin power surged, as if it might erupt at any moment. This made the young men from the Medicine King Immortal Palace turn pale. They said to Lin Feng, "Sir..."
"Trespassing into my residence—kneel!" Lin Feng suddenly roared. The void exploded with a bang, making the Medicine King Immortal Palace youths' faces turn white. Trespassing into his residence? What was going on!
