# Chapter 1696: Killing Saint Clan Disciples
The Heavenly Derivation Chessboard moved forward through the void, floating above the Cold Moon Lake, heading straight toward the ancient pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Yiren Lei's beautiful eyes appeared calm on the surface, but within her heart, waves were already surging. Could he truly not become an emperor? If so, heaven was being too cruel to Lin Feng. From the Small World to the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, he was still as dazzling as before. Could even the heavens be jealous?
A booming explosion rang out as the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard directly shattered the area beneath the ancient pavilion. The pavilion collapsed, and Yiren Lei's body swayed slightly, but she still stood there without moving. Moments later, she was already standing atop the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, while Yang Yan's body floated in the void. A group of experts from the Sun Saint Clan gathered around him, as if worried that Lin Feng might harm Yang Yan. This demon star had gone somewhat crazy now.
"Leave the Guang Han Palace with me," Lin Feng said to Yiren Lei.
Yiren Lei's heart stirred with emotion. She looked at those deep pupils before her and gently shook her head. "Lin Feng, I have my own path."
"A Heaven-Forsaken one still wants to take Fairy Yiren away?" Yang Yan sneered from the void. "First worry about whether you can leave yourself."
The Eight Treasures Sun Wheel illuminated heaven and earth, with sunlight swirling around his body, extremely dazzling.
Lin Feng did not look at Yang Yan. He only gazed at Yiren Lei, silent for a moment, then nodded and said calmly, "Once the Dao is attained, all things become empty. From now on, meeting again means we are strangers."
With that, Lin Feng turned his body, about to leave. But at that moment, a wave of icy coldness suddenly descended. From within the Guang Han Palace, a figure walked over, causing Lin Feng to turn and look. His deep pupils suddenly froze.
"Yuexin." Lin Feng stared at the white-clad figure walking toward him, her body exuding a thousand kinds of merciless intent.
"The Dao of Ruthlessness." The crowd's pupils contracted slightly. Was this woman also a Guang Han Fairy? She actually cultivated the Ruthless Dao.
Qiu Yuexin walked up to Lin Feng, her ruthless aura strong and sharp. Her eyes were indifferent, truly treating Lin Feng like a stranger.
"Not good." Langxie's expression tightened as he saw this. This woman was clearly no longer Lin Feng's wife. "Lin Feng, be careful."
Lin Feng seemed not to hear Langxie's words. He just stared at Qiu Yuexin. After so many years together, was it all for nothing?
Qiu Yuexin's palm reached out toward Lin Feng. In an instant, it directly pressed against Lin Feng's body. A terrifying, merciless killing force rampaged through Lin Feng's body, causing his pupils to stiffen. Those deep eyes stared fixedly at the person before him.
"Lin Feng, she is severing you to complete her Dao!" Langxie roared in anger. Although he didn't know why Qiu Yuexin had become like this, since she cultivated the Ruthless Dao and was Lin Feng's woman, severing Lin Feng would undoubtedly allow her to more perfectly achieve her Ruthless Dao.
The surrounding crowd showed confused expressions. A Guang Han Fairy was cultivating the Ruthless Dao and actually wanted to sever Lin Feng to complete her Dao.
"This isn't you, is it?" Lin Feng stared at Qiu Yuexin's indifferent face. He saw a single teardrop flow from her eyes. She was no longer herself, but she still remembered herself.
"Kill!" A cold voice came from Qiu Yuexin's eyes. The light of ruthlessness blazed brightly, and laws surged toward the heavens. Lin Feng felt as if his body were being torn apart. In the void, above the sky, a storm of ruthlessness gathered and rolled—cold, desolate, and merciless. Heaven itself was ruthless.
Sever Lin Feng to complete the Ruthless Dao.
Lin Feng looked at the unfamiliar face before him, then raised his head to look at the sky. The cold law force was gathering madly. Qiu Yuexin was severing him to complete her Dao.
"Get lost!" A roar like a wild beast burst from Lin Feng's mouth. A terrifying force slammed into Qiu Yuexin's body, sending her flying. But from the corner of Lin Feng's mouth, blood continuously flowed down.
Yiren Lei looked at Lin Feng. In her beautiful eyes, there was neither seduction nor coldness. Tears also streamed down her face. She thought her Dao heart was firm, but could she truly cast everything aside? Regardless of life or death, in this life, she would have no second man.
"Kill him!" In the void, Yang Yan's voice rang out. Immediately, experts of the Sun Saint Clan descended from the sky. The sunlight was dazzling and boundless, shooting straight at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng suddenly looked up. His indifferent pupils were like those from the Nine Nether. The Divine Mind Palace shone brightly, and infinite divine mind force madly evolved within the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard.
"Rise!" Lin Feng roared. The Heavenly Derivation Chessboard soared into the sky. He stamped his foot, and a terrifying demon king armor covered his body. A terrible destructive force surged from all around him toward the heavens, wiping out those powerful attacks.
"You're still not dead?" Yang Yan's pupils were cold. The Eight Treasures Sun Wheel radiated dazzling sunlight. A sun directly attacked Lin Feng, trying to burn him to nothingness.
Lin Feng stamped on the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, and his figure instantly disappeared from his spot, appearing at the other end of the chessboard. The terrifying sun force struck the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, as if trying to burn even the chessboard itself. Waves of experts madly charged down at Lin Feng. After being attacked by Qiu Yuexin, Lin Feng was already at his last gasp.
"Boom!" Lin Feng directly crushed a talisman. His figure suddenly vanished, causing the crowd to attack empty air.
In the void, Yang Yan's pupils suddenly froze. A pair of cold pupils were staring at him with ruthless indifference.
Raising the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel, a ray of light shot directly toward Lin Feng. But a terrifying Eye of Death pierced through his gaze.
"Blood Curse!" A forbidden word bloomed from Lin Feng's pupils. In an instant, Yang Yan felt his bloodline violently surge, out of his control, as if it might explode at any moment.
"Death Curse!" Death force stripped away Yang Yan's life force, causing the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel in his hand to freeze there. He no longer dared to attack. It seemed that with just a single thought from Lin Feng, he could be cursed to death.
Wind force drifted. Those pupils drew closer. The power of the Death Curse and Blood Curse grew stronger and stronger. Yang Yan didn't even dare to move. Moments later, Lin Feng's hand of death directly gripped his throat.
"Release him!"
This instantaneous development caused the pupils of the Sun Saint Clan experts who had been charging at Lin Feng to contract. Yang Yan had actually been captured by Lin Feng.
Lin Feng completely ignored them. He lifted Yang Yan's head and slowly descended toward the ground. No one dared to block him. Lin Feng's body once again landed on the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard.
"This Yang Yan is finished. He still thought that as a Martial Emperor expert wielding the terrifying imperial weapon Eight Treasures Sun Wheel, he could ignore Lin Feng. But he never imagined that although Lin Feng hadn't become an emperor, he had already achieved seven types of laws. The Death Law and Curse Law could easily take his life." The crowd thought to themselves. This scene also made people understand that no matter how powerful a treasure was, it was ultimately external force. Strength was the foundation. This scene was something Yang Yan could never have imagined. If he were also a Martial Emperor, Lin Feng's law force wouldn't have succeeded so easily. Holding the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel, he could have destroyed Lin Feng.
But there was no "if." Yang Yan hadn't become an emperor and ultimately couldn't resist the domineering law curse, causing him to fall into a desperate situation. He had brought this upon himself.
"Release him, or the Sun Saint Clan will go all out to kill you." The Sun Saint Clan experts in the void said coldly.
Lin Feng still didn't look at them. He only stared at Yang Yan before him. Yang Yan looked at the pupils before him, a trace of fear in his heart. "You don't dare kill me."
"You're really good at comforting yourself." A deathly smile appeared at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. The terrifying curse force caused Yang Yan's bloodline to go berserk. Death force eroded outward.
"Roar!" Yang Yan tried to struggle, but the Death Law pierced through his body, the Flame Law burned his flesh, and the Wind Law destroyed his physical form. In just an instant, his body turned to nothingness. As for the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel and his Storage Ring, Lin Feng naturally took them.
"He killed him. This madman." The crowd's pupils contracted. Lin Feng had actually killed Yang Yan.
In the void, Martial Emperors roared. Imperial weapon light blazed brightly as they madly attacked Lin Feng from above. Lin Feng continuously stepped forward, but with each step, his movements seemed increasingly weak. Only those eyes remained as deep as ever.
"He's about to collapse." In the distant void, the old man and the young girl stood together. Seeing Lin Feng frantically using formations, the old man said softly.
"Why don't you save him?" The young girl looked at the old man, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
"Why should I save him?" The old man asked the young girl in return, causing her eyes to freeze. "With such outstanding talent, yet forsaken by heaven, betrayed by a woman, and with Great Emperor-level experts watching from all around, if you don't save him, he'll definitely die."
"But I don't know him," the old man said with a smile.
"But I know him!" The young girl pouted at the old man. This old undying thing was truly hateful. If others saw the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan acting like this, who knows what expression they would have.
"Alright then. For the sake of my precious one, I'll save him once. Even if heaven has forsaken him, at least we'll give him a ray of hope. Perhaps after the clouds part, we'll see the moon shine bright!" The old man said with a smile.
Above the Cold Moon Lake, a vast heavenly might suddenly descended, causing even the Sun Saint Clan experts to stop fighting. Everyone's gaze froze. Then, a terrifying expert descended from the void, making people sigh inwardly. A Great Emperor had arrived.
Blood still hung from the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. It seemed all strength had left his body. The Life Essence could no longer heal his injuries. Looking at the figure in the void, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had come here to ascend to the imperial throne and then leave, but never expected to be forsaken by heaven and encounter such turmoil. Was this truly fate?
PS: Brothers, you've been very supportive, hehe. But I can't help complaining about some weirdos. Every time I write a climax, someone starts cursing. I want to say—is writing with passion wrong? Should I write blandly instead? Don't you know that to make everyone enjoy the excitement, I have to kill many brain cells, repeatedly consider the plot, overturn it, and think again? Even more bizarre are those who threaten to delete the book if the protagonist doesn't become emperor in ten chapters. How bizarre can you be? I beg you, please stop reading my book, okay? If I could block you, I would have done so long ago. Don't read my book anymore!!
