# Chapter 1706: Demon God's Judgment
"Boom!" A heavy muffled sound rang out as Lin Feng's fist slammed into Wu's massive head. Wu only felt his head buzzing, as if it were about to explode. Another rolling roar burst from his mouth, yet he did not retreat. His terrifying body rolled forward, charging at Lin Feng with boundless power and terrifying solar fire, suddenly causing Lin Feng's body to ignite.
"Knows no bounds," Lin Feng sneered coldly in his heart. His body remained covered in Earth Armor as he trembled slightly, then descended directly onto the back of the Solar Divine Bird like the wind.
"Boom!" Lin Feng's foot stomped down heavily, the overwhelming force shattering Wu's bones one after another, producing crisp cracking sounds.
Wu roared incessantly, still unwilling to give up. His body writhed wildly as flames spread across his form, trying to burn Lin Feng to death.
"Still not giving up," Lin Feng's cold eyes flickered. Waves of terrifying power struck the opponent's body, causing the Golden Crow to howl furiously as solar flame blood spewed from his mouth.
"Enough." Below, the old Golden Crow spoke a single word. The figure in the void gradually calmed down. Lin Feng leaped away from Wu's body, standing in midair, calmly gazing at the Wu before him.
At this moment, Wu's aura was dejected, yet still carried a violent edge. Mouthfuls of blood continuously poured from his mouth, dripping down below. His blood was absolutely a great tonic for ordinary martial cultivators. Seeing such waste, Lin Feng felt it was quite a pity. Back when he was weak, he had dreamed of transforming his bloodline to make it stronger. And now, a divine bird demon emperor was being beaten by him until he continuously spat blood.
"Wu, defeat is defeat. Proper cultivation is what you should be doing. Being obsessed with victory and refusing to admit defeat—what is that? A Three-Legged Golden Crow would not be so cowardly," the old Golden Crow said coldly, causing Wu's heart to tremble slightly. Yet his gaze remained fixed on Lin Feng, seemingly unwilling to accept this defeat. He had actually lost to this human, the human cultivator who had taken Qing Feng from him.
"Go heal your injuries and stabilize your cultivation," the old Golden Crow said coldly again. Only then did Wu shift his gaze away from Lin Feng, looking at the old Golden Crow and saying, "Yes."
With that, Wu let out a long roar and rolled away, his furious howl carrying a trace of unwillingness.
Those demon clan members were shocked in their hearts. This Heaven-Forsaken One's combat power was quite formidable, actually defeating Wu. Using seven types of laws gave him a great advantage. Moreover, his physical body and speed were also extremely terrifying, with almost no weaknesses, beating Wu to a miserable state.
"Senior, my apologies," Lin Feng said to the old Golden Crow. After all, he was in the demon realm, beating the other's grandson so miserably right in front of an old demon. It seemed somewhat inconsiderate.
"You defeated Wu with strength; there's no need to apologize to me. Since Big Brother chose you as the demon realm's son-in-law, there must be his reasons. At the very least, you displayed great potential in this battle. Of course, if that's all, it's still not enough. If you can never break through the Martial Emperor barrier, you'll still just be a waste with strong combat power. Understand?" The old demon Golden Crow said indifferently.
"I know." Lin Feng nodded slightly. The old Golden Crow didn't show him any malice. Though his words weren't pleasant, they were truthful. If Lin Feng truly was Heaven-Forsaken and couldn't become an emperor, in the eyes of these great powers, he would still just be a slightly more impressive waste.
The old Golden Crow waved his long robe and headed toward the demon hall. The other demons glanced at Lin Feng before following behind. Only Qing Feng came to Lin Feng's side.
"Thank you," Qing Feng said to Lin Feng.
"I just wanted to avoid some trouble. Besides, how could it be your place to thank me?" Lin Feng said with a smile. Without Qing Feng and the dignified old man, he didn't know what his fate would have been by now.
"But Wu is naturally arrogant. Though there's an agreement, he probably won't let it go. With his temperament, he's definitely unwilling to accept this. After stabilizing his realm and improving his cultivation, he might come for you again," Qing Feng said to Lin Feng.
"Then I'll just beat him a few more times until he doesn't dare to come anymore," Lin Feng said calmly, a sharp gleam flashing in his deep eyes. If Wu still didn't know his place, he would beat him until he submitted.
"Let's go back." Qing Feng didn't doubt Lin Feng's strength. Though this guy wasn't a demon beast, he was definitely a monster. His physical body had reached the emperor level, and his physical strength could clash with the Solar Divine Bird.
Lin Feng and Qing Feng returned to the Azure Peak, finding the dignified old man standing at the edge of the peak. He said to the arriving Lin Feng, "I watched your battle with Wu. Your physical body has reached the emperor level, stronger than even demon beasts' bodies. And you're skilled in multiple law forces, controlling them freely. I plan to teach you a divine ability technique for demon beast cultivation. This technique focuses on cultivating the power of judgment and slaughter. Its might is overbearing and boundless. It requires a person with firm martial will and decisive killing intent to cultivate. It's more suitable for demon beasts, but I believe you'll have no problem cultivating it either."
"Thank you, Senior," Lin Feng expressed his gratitude. A divine ability technique taught by a demon realm giant was sure to be extremely powerful. He cultivated multiple forces and had now reached the emperor level. Though he could comprehend and fuse attack techniques on his own, having an orthodox, powerful technique to cultivate would naturally be better. After those ancient holy clan disciples became emperors, they would also inevitably cultivate powerful divine attack techniques.
"This technique is called Demon God's Judgment. I will impart it to you through divine thought." Light flickered at the old man's brow as a beam of divine thought drilled into Lin Feng's body, containing a set of powerful divine ability attack techniques. Lin Feng received the divine thought power, and specks of light floated in his mind—there were words, and also slaughter diagrams. A silhouette of a back view, proud and overlooking heaven and earth, judging all.
"Demon God's Judgment, using endless overbearing power as a guide, judges the physical body, judges the void, judges heaven and earth. Everything in heaven and earth can be judged and slaughtered, overbearing and unmatched." Lin Feng received the divine thought information, his heart stirring. This kind of divine ability technique was definitely an extremely precious emperor-level divine ability, something ordinary people could never come into contact with.
Lin Feng seemed to sink into the cultivation of Demon God's Judgment, unable to extricate himself. The power of judgment and slaughter first used force as a guide to achieve judgment and slaughter power. The further one went, the stronger it became. There was nothing that could not be judged. Moreover, there was no stipulation on what kind of force to use for judgment, because as long as the force in heaven and earth was strong enough, one could initiate the judgment technique. And each had its strengths—for example, void force excelled at judging space, while death law force excelled at judging life.
...
At the ruins of the Tian Yan Holy Clan, Jun Moxi was stepping onto this land. With him were people from the Nether King Palace. Unfortunately, they seemed to have arrived a step too late. They had already heard that the Tian Yan Holy Clan's Grand Heavenly Array had been broken by a Saint Emperor, and news of the Tian Yan Holy Clan's underground palace had appeared.
Jun Moxi was certainly not there for the Heavenly Derivation Scripture. It was just that the Nether King Palace had received news that a thousand years ago, the Tian Yan Holy Clan had obtained an ancient scripture. This ancient scripture had directly led to the Tian Yan Holy Clan's destruction. After receiving this news, the Nether King Palace didn't hold much hope of obtaining that ancient scripture, but they still sent Jun Moxi to Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital to check the situation. Several Nether King Palace experts accompanied him. If there really was news of that ancient scripture, they would notify the Nether King Palace. But now it seemed that even if that legendary ancient scripture really existed, it had probably been taken by someone.
"A Daoist? Could it really have fallen into the hands of a Daoist?" Jun Moxi murmured to himself, wondering who was so lucky. And Lin Feng—he had heard that Lin Feng had obtained the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, but was Heaven-Forsaken and couldn't become an emperor. He wondered how Lin Feng was doing now.
Jun Moxi sighed inwardly. Heaven-Forsaken, emperor tribulation—it had actually happened to Lin Feng. But Jun Moxi always believed that Lin Feng would get through this hurdle. As fellow cultivators from the same small world, the two had known each other since their first battle in the Snow Domain competition. He knew well how difficult the path had been for Lin Feng and himself as they walked it together.
"Young Master of the Nether King Palace." At this moment, a clear voice came. Jun Moxi turned around and saw a beautiful woman approaching with lotus steps. "What business does the Guang Han Fairy Maiden have?"
This newcomer was from the Guang Han Palace. Before coming to Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, Jun Moxi had learned about some matters in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, naturally knowing of the mysterious and powerful Guang Han Palace. He discovered that it had a close relationship with some great figures who had appeared during the Snow Moon upheaval—Three Lives, Nine Nether, and the Xi Emperor.
"Chu Chunqiu of the Chu Clan has agreed to exchange ancient scriptures with the Guang Han Palace. In three days, the Guang Han Palace will invite all the heroes of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital to attend. Since the Young Master of the Nether King Palace has come to the ancient capital, we hope you will witness this moment together," the Guang Han Palace person said softly, causing Jun Moxi's heart to stir. He had long heard that Chu Chunqiu was an extraordinary person. He didn't expect him to have such boldness, actually agreeing to exchange ancient scriptures with the Guang Han Palace.
"Alright, I will definitely attend," Jun Moxi nodded in agreement. Having come to Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, he hadn't yet met all the heroes of this place at once. This would be a good opportunity to see them.
"Thank you, Young Master of the Nether King Palace, for gracing us with your presence. This young lady takes her leave." The beautiful woman flickered away, heading to another place to deliver invitations.

# Chapters 1700—1703
"Reduced to ashes!" The crowd stared at the void in silence. The storm of destruction still raged, the heavenly might remained. The majestic silhouette illuminated by the sun had not only killed that Great Emperor but had left not even his bones behind.
"Great Emperor-level experts can sometimes be so fragile." Many people felt a faint sense of sorrow in their hearts. How difficult was it to cultivate to the Great Emperor realm? One had to endure countless tribulations, suffer endless setbacks, and undergo the baptism of time to have a chance at achieving the position of Great Emperor. Yet in an instant, everything turned to nothing. A Great Emperor, facing a more overbearing and powerful existence, was killed on the spot with a single word.
This scene undoubtedly made everyone realize even more how cruel the world of martial arts was. The terrifying expert in the void had done it deliberately—using a Great Emperor to establish his authority, telling everyone: Touch my demon realm's son-in-law, and this is the result. Even a Great Emperor would be killed.
Of course, this also made many people's blood boil. If one cultivated to the Saint Emperor level, no matter how hard you worked to become a Great Emperor, one strike would make you vanish into nothing, dead without a burial place. Absolute strength, absolute dominance. If they could one day control such overwhelming power, with only themselves as supreme in heaven and earth, they too could easily kill a Great Emperor.
But Lin Feng, the Heaven-Forsaken One—when had he become the demon realm's son-in-law?
"The demon realm wants to take a Heaven-Forsaken One as a son-in-law?" This seemed somewhat strange. Although Lin Feng had strong talent and had achieved seven types of laws, he was still forsaken by heaven and couldn't become an emperor. And the demon realm's son-in-law would obviously be Qing Feng's man. Qing Feng was the demon clan's holy maiden, also skilled in multiple types of profound meaning forces. A Heaven-Forsaken One seemed somewhat unworthy of her.
Was the demon realm just looking for someone to marry into the demon realm, someone easier to control? Qing Feng was single-mindedly pursuing martial arts, and Lin Feng only had the title of demon realm son-in-law without the reality? Or perhaps the demon realm's holy maiden Qing Feng had fallen in love with Lin Feng?
The former seemed unrealistic. Though the latter had a low probability, it was still possible. Many people knew that back at the Tian Yan Holy Clan ruins, Qing Feng had taken Lin Feng to the demon realm. No one knew what had happened between them after that.
Of course, even if Qing Feng loved Lin Feng, the demon realm wouldn't approve. Unless there was one possibility: the demon realm wanted to help Lin Feng change his fate, let him pass through the emperor tribulation, and become an emperor of seven types.
"Yes, that should be it." Many people nodded inwardly as they thought this. Though there were still some inconsistencies, it was already the most likely scenario. Otherwise, why would the demon realm let Lin Feng become Qing Feng's man and help him establish authority by killing a Great Emperor from the Thunder Clan?
But at this moment, Lin Feng himself was stunned. However, his pitch-black eyes revealed no expression. He calmly turned back to look at Qing Feng. He hadn't expected the demon realm senior to use the title of son-in-law to help him establish authority.
Qing Feng happened to be looking at Lin Feng too. Her beautiful eyes froze for a moment, then she slightly pouted and raised her head to glare at the majestic figure in the void. This old man was too much. He hadn't even told her before directly saying such things. He was becoming more and more disrespectful with age.
But the old man she was silently cursing had no time to care about her thoughts. At this moment, a dignified and overbearing gaze fell on a Great Emperor of the Sun Holy Clan. His pupils pierced through the void, icy cold. Heavenly might spread. That Sun Holy Clan Great Emperor's face stiffened, turning slightly pale. Just now, a Great Emperor of the same level as him had been killed without even leaving bones behind.
"Senior!" Although that Sun Holy Clan expert was a Great Emperor, he felt somewhat weak at this moment. The expert he faced was definitely an old demon at the Saint Emperor level. If he wanted to deal with him, he would probably only have death as his way out. There was no possibility of escape.
"Will your Sun Holy Clan touch him?" The dignified silhouette in the void said calmly. The "him" naturally referred to Lin Feng.
That Sun Holy Clan Great Emperor's expression was extremely ugly. His heart struggled. As a Great Emperor, he had never experienced such embarrassment. Would the Sun Holy Clan touch Lin Feng or not?
If he answered yes, what would the consequences be? He didn't dare to think about it. Perhaps he would be killed on the spot.
But at this moment, his answer would not only represent himself but also the entire Sun Holy Clan. If he answered no out of fear, where would the Sun Holy Clan's face be? This choice made him feel extremely awkward.
"Can't you hear me?" Heavenly might descended, pressing down on him. That Sun Holy Clan Great Emperor's heart trembled slightly. He thought to himself: "If I answer wrong, I will surely die on the spot. Moreover, the Sun Holy Clan really shouldn't offend the demon realm giants of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. That would mean more than just the deaths of Yang Yan and Yang Xiao. The Sun Holy Clan will understand me."
"I dare not," the Great Emperor said humbly. Before those below, he was an absolute expert, awe-inspiring, looking at those below like ants. But facing the person before him, he appeared humble. Everything was decided by strength.
"Good that you dare not. Take your people and roll back to the Sun Holy Clan. If your Sun Holy Clan touches a single hair on his head, I will make your Sun Holy Clan's life miserable," the dignified, rolling voice said, causing the crowd below to tremble violently. Who besides the demon realm giant would dare to speak such arrogant words, threatening to make a holy clan's life miserable?
"Senior, my clan's imperial weapon, the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel..." the Great Emperor said weakly, his mouth twitching slightly as he spoke.
"Scram!" Before his words finished, the dignified and overbearing voice rang out, making the Great Emperor even more embarrassed. He could only say awkwardly, "Junior takes his leave."
With that, the Sun Holy Clan expert stepped through the void and left, disappearing without a trace in an instant. He had no face to stay any longer. He had come with dignity but left in humility.
"Thunder Clan." The overbearing silhouette in the void turned again, landing on the group of Thunder Clan people who had arrived later. He sneered, "All of you, scram. If the Thunder Clan dares to stir up trouble, I will have you erased from Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital."
The Thunder Clan people's faces were extremely ugly. They knew the other party had the right to say such things. Their Thunder Clan was not an ancient holy clan, just an ancient clan. If this demon realm giant became angry, he could truly erase a flourishing ancient clan.
On the Nine Heavens Continent, from ancient times to the present, countless ancient clans had existed, and countless ancient clans, even ancient holy clans, had been annihilated in the river of history. Those annihilated ancient holy clans and ancient clans basically had one thing in common: they had offended someone powerful enough to destroy them single-handedly, erasing them. Therefore, those flourishing ancient clans were not as free to do as they pleased as people imagined. There were some figures they dared not provoke, or they might face clan extermination.
The once-prosperous Tian Yan Holy Clan was such an example.
The Thunder Clan people slunk away. Even the Sun Holy Clan, an ancient holy clan, couldn't afford to provoke this demon realm giant. What could their Thunder Clan do? This grudge could not be avenged. They could only nurse their hatred in their hearts.
"Heaven-Forsaken One. I didn't expect him to gain the favor of the demon realm. What luck," the crowd thought as they looked at Lin Feng. With this demon realm giant protecting Lin Feng and giving him the identity of demon realm son-in-law, Lin Feng's status was now as noble as a direct descendant of an ancient holy clan. In Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, who would dare to touch him easily?
"Lucky bastard." Cang Xiao's gaze held a cold light. This Lin Feng was too lucky. He was supposed to die, but the situation had taken a turn. The demon realm expert wanted to keep him alive. This way, killing Lin Feng was probably impossible.
But so what? A person who couldn't become an emperor would eventually be left behind by them, the distance growing larger and larger. Perhaps one day, the demon realm expert would find that Lin Feng had no hope of becoming an emperor forever and would give up on him.
But this laughable thought of his was destined to be in vain. Lin Feng, hadn't become an emperor?
It was just that the external heaven would never acknowledge it. But so what? He was still an emperor, an emperor of his own world, not dependent on this world.
"Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital has its rules. Same as before: matters of one generation belong to that generation," the rolling voice spread down from the void again. This time, it was a reminder to all the forces of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital.
Every place has its potential rules. Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital had countless powerful forces, and naturally, it was the same. For forces of the same level, in conflicts between peers, the elders of the family could not interfere. On the path of genius competition, some were destined to be trampled and eliminated. That was their own incompetence. The family could cultivate their own people but could not interfere in the conflicts of others of the same generation. Otherwise, chaos would ensue.
Of course, for families of different levels, there was no need to talk about rules. Just use fists directly. I bully you—what can you do about it?
Just like the old man in the void dealing with the Thunder Clan: "Scram, or I'll destroy your clan." Would you dare to fart?
"Reduced to ashes!" The crowd stared at the void in silence. The storm of destruction still raged, the heavenly might remained. The majestic silhouette illuminated by the sun had not only killed that Great Emperor but had left not even his bones behind.
"Great Emperor-level experts can sometimes be so fragile." Many people felt a faint sense of sorrow in their hearts. How difficult was it to cultivate to the Great Emperor realm? One had to endure countless tribulations, suffer endless setbacks, and undergo the baptism of time to have a chance at achieving the position of Great Emperor.

But Lin Feng, the Heaven-Forsaken One—when had he become the demon realm's son-in-law?
"The demon realm wants to take a Heaven-Forsaken One as a son-in-law?" This seemed somewhat strange. Although Lin Feng had strong talent and had achieved seven types of laws, he was still forsaken by heaven and couldn't become an emperor. And the demon realm's son-in-law would obviously be Qing Feng's man. Qing Feng was the demon clan's holy maiden, also skilled in multiple types of profound meaning forces. A Heaven-Forsaken One seemed somewhat unworthy of her.
