# Chapter 1697: Defying the Heavens
In the distance, Qiongqi was covered in ferociousness, his massive pupils staring at everything far away, utterly speechless.
"You little bastard really think your life is too long, huh." Qiongqi thought to himself speechlessly. Heaven-forsaken is heaven-forsaken, but to go this far? Seven systems of laws had already been completed, he should have long since fled. Now, Great Emperor level powerhouses have descended, this time it's a real calamity.
"You're dragging me, this Emperor, down with you." Qiongqi said helplessly. It seemed more than one Great Emperor had arrived. He was going to be killed by this bastard this time.
When the people of the Sun Saint Clan saw Great Emperor powerhouses arriving in the void, they all stopped fighting. At the same time, Langxie's figure flickered and descended beside Lin Feng, also gazing into the distance at the Great Emperor figures appearing in the void.
"No one is allowed to kill him." Langxie's voice was ice cold, staring into the void as he spoke.
"I want the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard and all the storage rings on him." The Great Emperor in the void said indifferently. But Lin Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. Light flashed, and the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard shrank, then floated in the air, coming into Lin Feng's palm. Lin Feng looked at Langxie beside him. Under such desperate circumstances, Langxie could still be like this, which brought him a trace of comfort. He said, "Langxie, keep this Heavenly Derivation Chessboard for me. If I die, you can use it."
"Alright." Langxie nodded, took the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard and put it away. Looking at the void, he said, "You should be from the Thunder Clan, right? The Heavenly Derivation Chessboard is on me now. If you ask me for it, I'll give it to you. But you'd better think carefully about the consequences. Perhaps my Ancient Realm Clan will send troops to the Thunder Clan. Then it won't be as simple as just getting back the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard."
The crowd's expressions congealed when they heard Langxie's words. The Heavenly Derivation Chessboard in Lin Feng's hands and in Langxie's hands had completely different meanings. Disciples of the Ancient Saint Clans all carried heavy treasures on them. Who would dare to rob them? That would be slapping the Ancient Saint Clans in the face. Now that the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard was in Langxie's hands, touching him meant touching the Ancient Realm Clan.
"He killed Yang Yan of my Sun Saint Clan. No matter what, he must die today. I don't believe the Ancient Realm Clan would go to war with the Sun Saint Clan over this." The Sun Saint Clan's powerhouse said coldly. One life for one life. They didn't want the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, but they wanted Lin Feng's life, and they wanted back the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel. Otherwise, returning would mean death for all of them.
"Buzz!" Another terrifying heavenly might descended, tightly binding Lin Feng and Langxie's bodies. Langxie's gaze stiffened, and he said coldly, "Which senior is that? Why not show yourself?"
"Boom!" As Langxie's words fell, a terrifying force suddenly descended from the sky. A void handprint seemed to appear from nothingness, directly striking down from the heavens toward Lin Feng, as fast as lightning.
"Someone wants to assassinate Lin Feng." The crowd's hearts trembled. Langxie wouldn't let anyone kill Lin Feng, so the other party didn't show themselves, directly using great power to kill from the void.
But at that moment, a terrifying beam of light suddenly descended, striking that incredibly swift palm print. The void exploded, and the terrifying force created a fearsome vortex, causing the crowd's pupils to congeal once again.
"Who?" The crowd's eyes swept across the void. How many people were secretly watching this place?
Suddenly, several terrifying heavenly mights enveloped this stretch of void, as if trying to crush the very sky. The crowd felt suffocated, and Lin Feng's face was even paler. Those waves of heavenly might were all landing on him, trying to kill him.
"Who dares to interfere with this Emperor's affairs?" An ice-cold voice enveloped the void. It seemed to be the person who had just tried to kill Lin Feng speaking. An even more terrifying heavenly might pressed down on this void, making the crowd feel suffocated.
"East side?"
"No, there's also a powerhouse on the west side."
"Three, plus this Thunder Clan Great Emperor, there are already three Great Emperor figures appearing." The crowd was shocked. Three waves of heavenly might. Could this heaven-forsaken person leave alive today?
"Rumble!" In the void, there was a rolling roar. The crowd saw heaven and earth seemingly howling. Suddenly, a terrifying demon phoenix spanning several thousand meters appeared in the void, swallowing heaven and earth.
"Who?" A furious roar rolled out. It was the Great Emperor who had just spoken. But now it seemed a powerhouse was attacking him.
Many people's bodies trembled. That heavenly might pressed down on them, making it almost impossible to breathe. The void began to riot. Wind and clouds changed color. That terrifying demon phoenix swallowed heaven and earth, stirring up winds and clouds in all directions. A series of terrifying explosive sounds came out. The crowd only saw hurricanes howling in fury.
"Scram!" An aged voice came from the void, causing the crowd's pupils to stiffen. This was another person's voice. The one who made heaven and earth move, the demon phoenix swallowing the sky.
The other person didn't answer. Then the crowd saw the void rolling, as if that person had been driven away.
"All of you, get the hell out of here!" The aged voice rang through the void again. The crowd's hearts trembled violently. Who was so domineering and powerful, telling everyone to scram?
"A terrifying great power has descended." Everyone's hearts twitched. Waves of wind and clouds moved, as if the other hidden people had all left. At this moment, a terrifying hurricane rolled in from the void, wrapping around Lin Feng's body. At this moment, Lin Feng's body could no longer hold on. He fainted, unable to know anything about the outside world.
"What a terrifying figure." Langxie stared into the void. They had left. Lin Feng had been taken away. But he didn't stop them, and he couldn't stop them either. This person was the one who had helped Lin Feng earlier. He hoped Lin Feng would be alright.
In the distance, Qiongqi's gaze flickered. Seeing what had happened there, he was also quite surprised. He muttered softly, "When things reach their extreme, they reverse. This little bastard went through this calamity and actually got a new opportunity. It seems I don't need to make a move."
With that, his figure rolled away.
At this moment, Qiu Yuexin had already entered the path of emotionlessness and ascended to the Imperial throne. The tear traces at the corners of her eyes had disappeared, as if only emotionlessness remained. Now, she was no longer herself.
Yiren Lei's beautiful eyes were melancholy. Once the path was taken, everything became empty. From now on, meeting would be as strangers. She felt sorrow in her heart. She hoped he could break through the Imperial tribulation, achieve the Imperial position, and stir up the winds and clouds again.
Cang Xiao's gaze was ice cold. He didn't expect Lin Feng still wouldn't die even like this. At this moment, his expression was cold as he stared into the distant space and muttered softly, "Heaven-forsaken, laws won't descend. Even if he leaves alive, what can he do? He'll be forever stuck at the Martial Emperor checkpoint. No matter how strong your talent is, even if you achieve ten-absolute laws, you're still just a cripple."
Everyone had different thoughts. Some felt regret for Lin Feng, a trace of sorrow in their hearts. Heaven was jealous of talent. Laws wouldn't descend. Becoming an Emperor was hopeless. Others gloated.
But all of this had nothing to do with Lin Feng anymore.
At Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, the Demon Clan, on the Green Peak, Lin Feng slowly woke up. This was already the third day of his slumber. Opening his eyes, he saw himself lying on a cool, massive rock. A gentle breeze blew, but at this moment, Lin Feng had no mood to enjoy it. Everything was like a dream, all for nothing.
Slowly turning his gaze, Lin Feng saw a figure in front of him. Dressed in green clothes, elegant and holy, it was none other than the Demon Clan's Holy Maiden, Qing Feng.
Lin Feng slowly sat up. He found that his injuries had healed. He remembered that when he was about to fall, a terrifying powerhouse had appeared. Could it be someone from the Demon Clan?
"Did a senior from the Demon Clan save me?" Lin Feng asked Qing Feng.
"You're awake." Qing Feng turned her gaze and gave Lin Feng a very faint smile. There was quite a bit of regret in her heart. The old man said he would give him a ray of dawn, but could he truly clear the clouds and see the sun? His talent was unparalleled, yet he was forsaken by heaven. What a pity.
"It was the old man who saved you." Qing Feng said softly.
Although Lin Feng didn't know who the old man Qing Feng referred to was, he was probably a giant figure of the Demon Clan. He had been reborn, but Lin Feng didn't have much joy.
"Thank you." Lin Feng showed Qing Feng a smile, but it was quite bitter.
"No need." Qing Feng said casually. "Walk around a bit. Relax your mood."
"Mm." Lin Feng nodded slightly. His figure flickered, stepping on the green peak. After a moment, he came to the edge of a cliff, gazing at this ten-thousand-zhang peak. He stretched out his hand, and strands of law force coiled around him, light dazzling. Seven systems, what use were seven systems of laws? Heaven wouldn't bestow laws, so he wasn't considered a Martial Emperor. From now on, his cultivation would forever stop here.
The light of the laws flickered. At this moment, Lin Feng's eyes congealed. He seemed to feel something in his heart. Then he moved his mind, sinking into his body. The Heavenly Book Martial Soul flickered, its light greatly flourishing. Another page of the Martial Soul began to tremble.
"Martial Soul!" Lin Feng's heart stirred. It had been a long time since his Martial Soul had moved. This Heavenly Book Martial Soul had finally reacted again.
"Open!" Lin Feng moved his mind. But that trembling page of the Martial Soul remained tightly closed, difficult to turn.
"Heaven forsakes me, people forsake me. Are you going to forsake me too?" Lin Feng's pupils were deep. A trace of demonic light flickered. Intense willpower crazily released, causing the Martial Soul to tremble more and more violently.
Seven systems of laws simultaneously surged within his body, crazily impacting the Martial Soul. Different lights flowed over the Martial Soul. Lin Feng's pupils were ice-cold. His will grew stronger and stronger.
"Open for me!" Lin Feng roared in his heart. He seemed to feel a terrifying resistance. The difficulty of turning this page of the Martial Soul far exceeded any previous time. What would this page of the Martial Soul contain?
Perhaps, it would be an opportunity!
Lin Feng closed his eyes. His body trembled slightly. The terrifying will he released caused his entire body to tense up tightly. He seemed not to be fighting with his own Martial Soul, but with heaven. The scenes from Cold Moon Lake seemed to appear in his mind again, vivid and clear.
Laws wouldn't descend. Heaven wanted to bully him. Heaven forsook him. Did that mean he couldn't become an Emperor? No. If he gave up, everything would truly be for nothing. Heaven forsook him, but he would still become an Emperor, trampling that sky.
"Heaven forsakes me, but I will defy the heavens." Lin Feng spat out an ice-cold sound from his mouth, echoing through the rolling valley. At this moment, a rumbling buzz trembled in Lin Feng's mind and soul. The Martial Soul, opened!
Qing Feng's body trembled slightly. Her gaze turned this way, looking at that desolate back. Heaven forsook him, so he would defy the heavens. How arrogant. But this heaven, how could it be defied!
PS: Lin Feng has long since become an Emperor. The mystery will be revealed tomorrow, brothers. Where is your passion!!
