Chapter 1647: Slaying an Emperor
The Death Curtain and the Flame Curtain intertwined, creating a magnificent spectacle in the void. The Law Curtain was unable to force Lin Feng's Death Curtain to recede in the slightest.
"What kind of ability is this?" The crowd stared at the magnificent scene in the void, their hearts trembling violently. It was terrifying. Lin Feng, wielding the momentum of the Venerable Martial Realm, was clashing with Yan Feng, who had stepped into the Martial Emperor Realm. Moreover, the Death Curtain was showing no signs of weakness.
"Yan Feng has entered the Martial Emperor Realm. The power of laws has infused his body, allowing him to mobilize the laws of heaven and earth. His laws are stronger than before, and his attacks are ferocious and overbearing. Although Lin Feng has also grasped a thousandfold momentum, his attacks are powerful enough to withstand the law-based attacks of a Martial Emperor. This is truly terrifying."
The refining masters of the Flame Golden Tower were all long-time Martial Emperor experts. Seeing the clash between the two, they naturally understood the key point. Lin Feng's attack power was strong enough to contend with a Martial Emperor's law-based attacks, meaning his offensive power was a hundred times stronger, or even more, than an ordinary Ninth Layer Venerable Martial Realm cultivator. He could easily crush a peak Venerable Martial Realm opponent of the same rank.
Someone who could contend with an Emperor, while still in the Venerable Martial Realm—they were no longer on the same level.
"This guy..." Mu Linxue looked at the void, speechless. She recalled Lin Feng's joking words, 'My strength is also quite impressive.' It seemed that was not just a joke. Lin Feng's strength was as astonishing as his Dao abilities.
The moment Yan Feng clashed with Lin Feng, his expression froze, revealing an incredulous look. He saw Lin Feng's pitch-black pupils seemingly piercing through the curtain to stare at him. Lin Feng's palm vibrated against the curtain, and instantly, a wave of destructive, trembling might swept across heaven and earth. The Death Curtain transformed into an indestructible force. With a thunderous explosion, the towering crimson curtain formed by the convergence of flame laws collapsed. At the same time, the Death Curtain also seemed on the verge of dispersing, but a terrifying residual wave still rolled towards Yan Feng, crushing him. The power of the Death Curtain seemed to suppress Yan Feng's Law Curtain.
"Kill!" Lin Feng struck out with both fists simultaneously. The overwhelming Demonic Slaughter Fist seemed to pierce through the void, blasting towards Yan Feng. At this moment, Yan Feng's face was pale. He let out a wild roar, and before him, he condensed towering flames. Laws were everywhere, but they were instantly pierced through by Lin Feng's demonic fists.
"Earth Split!" Lin Feng's palm, like the wind, pierced through the flames, shattered the light curtain, and slammed towards Yan Feng's face.
At this moment, Yan Feng had no more strength left to block this fatal strike. Just as he was reveling in ascending to the Imperial throne, he probably never dreamed that death would come so swiftly.
This palm strike turned into a flowing light, cleaving towards his face. Yan Feng could feel the lines on his face twisting. He could clearly sense that once this palm landed, he would surely die, with absolutely no chance of survival. But he was utterly powerless to avoid it.
This palm strike was called Earth Split. The previous one was the Death Curtain.
In that brief instant, countless thoughts surged through Yan Feng's mind, scenes playing out like a film reel. He was the refining genius of the Yan Clan. From the moment he first showed his talent, he had received the Yan Clan's attention. They focused on nurturing him, providing ample resources for his rapid growth. He lived up to their expectations, continuously rising until he participated in this Refining Competition. He had thought he could win the championship, but Lin Feng had taken it from him. Just as he was unwilling to be forced into a deadly dead end by Lin Feng, he broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm. In that moment of enlightenment, he was filled with satisfaction and pride, feeling as if he owned the world. At that moment, he was proud and complacent.
In an instant, he had gone from hell to heaven. Similarly, in a split second, he could be cast from heaven back into hell.
"No..." Yan Feng let out a desperate roar. The fatal Earth Split was already about to land.
The members of the Yan Clan were also stunned. How could this be? Why was this the outcome? Shouldn't Yan Feng have become an Emperor, overwhelmingly annihilated Lin Feng, and risen as a king? This should have been the era of the Yan Clan, the glory of Yan Feng. But why was it ending like this?
Watching the Earth Split descend, the Yan Clan Patriarch's eyes were bloodshot. His entire body erupted with a monstrous flame power, as if he wanted to incinerate that stretch of void into nothingness.
"How could this be!" the Yan Clan Patriarch cried out. Then, the Earth Split finally landed on Yan Feng's face. A force that tore everything apart exploded in an instant. Even if the Yan Clan wanted to rescue him, it was impossible. Yan Feng's head exploded, and then the destruction spread downwards. His body was torn apart by the terrifying force, turning into nothingness, vanishing from the void. A newly born Martial Emperor was thus brutally annihilated.
Dead!
Yan Feng had completely disappeared from the air. In that void, only one figure stood proudly—Lin Feng!
"He just... slew an Emperor?" The crowd stared at the figure in the void, taking a deep breath. It all felt unreal. Most of the crowd thought the same as the Yan Clan. When Yan Feng was forced into a desperate situation and ascended to the Imperial throne, the next part of the story should have been Yan Feng overwhelmingly killing Lin Feng. But the real ending was that even after Yan Feng entered the Martial Emperor Realm, he was still brutally destroyed by Lin Feng. This plot twist was unexpected, but the shock it brought was only stronger. Many people's hearts were still pounding. It was the first time they had seen someone in the Venerable Martial Realm so decisively slay an Emperor.
"Crack!" The ninth-grade refining master in the purple-gold long robe clenched his hands tightly, producing a crisp sound. He naturally understood what slaying an Emperor meant. Even though Yan Feng had just become an Emperor and his realm was unstable, he was still a Martial Emperor, having undergone a qualitative transformation. Lin Feng killing him meant that the combined power contained in Lin Feng's previous attack was terrifying to the extreme.
"Death Curtain... I should have felt at least five types of power merging: Death, Demon, Wind, Space, and Earth. Earth Split... Earth was the main power, but I also felt Demon, Space, and Thunder and Lightning!" The refining master in the purple-gold robe closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling that breathtaking moment. Being able to perfectly merge so many different types of power and overcome a Martial Emperor's laws—the implications were enough to make one's heart tremble. Even he, a High-rank Emperor, was deeply shaken. It meant that Lin Feng had the potential to enter the Martial Emperor Realm using multi-attribute laws, and even merge those laws!
If that were the case, Lin Feng's destructive power after becoming an Emperor would be astonishing. Just like his current dominance in the Venerable Martial Realm, ordinary Martial Emperors of the same rank would probably be easily crushed and killed by him, rather than it being as troublesome as it was now, slaying an Emperor while still in the Venerable Martial Realm.
The several refining masters beside him had varied expressions, all quite interesting. Mu Linxue's master was stunned. When Yan Feng entered the Martial Emperor Realm, he thought the situation would change. But Lin Feng killed him anyway.
As for Yan Feng's master, his expression was even more interesting, a mix of various complex emotions. The disciple he had just accepted had proven his Dao and become an Emperor, bringing him glory. But now, he was dead... killed by Lin Feng.
"Mu Linxue has befriended a future god!" The people of the Mu Mansion's hearts were twitching. Everything Lin Feng had done truly opened their eyes. Not only had he helped Mu Linxue win the championship of the Refining Competition, but now, from the Venerable Martial Realm, he had defied the heavens and slain a Martial Emperor. One could almost imagine how dazzling Lin Feng's future would be, provided he didn't die.
"Linxue, Lin Feng... he's so strong!" Mu Qingying had somehow come to stand beside Mu Linxue. Her eyes were wide open, blinking constantly, as if afraid she might have seen wrong. She had never heard of anyone being this powerful. With the strength of the Venerable Martial Realm, he had killed a Martial Emperor, and in a very dominant, annihilating manner.
Mu Linxue's heart was also deeply shaken, but she had gradually calmed down. A bright, sunny smile appeared in her beautiful eyes as she looked at the young man in the void. She had never imagined that he, who was usually so low-key, could be so dazzling when he erupted, like a sun, so bright it could burn one's eyes.
"I didn't know he was this powerful either. He never showed it before." Mu Linxue murmured. Mu Qingying smiled wryly upon hearing this. She thought back to everything that had happened before and found it ridiculous. Would someone like Lin Feng enter the Mu Mansion for her sake? Perhaps Lin Feng had never pretended to be anything. In Lin Feng's eyes, she was just an ordinary passerby, nothing more.
"You actually dared to kill him!" The Yan Clan Patriarch's lips trembled. The most outstanding genius of the Yan Clan had fallen here.
