Chapter 1720: Ruthless Slaughter
"I've always wanted to see how a Heaven-Forsaken One fights an Emperor." The man spat out a cold voice as his figure slowly rose into the air, his long robe billowing. Cang Hai had been in seclusion for years, and upon emerging, he heard of the upheaval in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, how Guang Han Palace had stirred up the winds and clouds, how the younger generation had risen one after another to claim the throne of Emperor, seeking to drive the previous generation of Martial Emperors off the stage and achieve their own glory.
Cang Hai had always felt quite displeased by this. He was considered a figure from the generation before Cang Xiao, having become an Emperor long ago. Now, after stabilizing his cultivation and emerging from seclusion, everything had changed. The ancient capital had completely forgotten people like them, replaced only by figures like the Divine Seal King Body, the Realm King Body, Chu Chunqiu, and the Heartbroken Young Master. Even the Heaven-Forsaken One, Lin Feng, had become renowned, leaving no room for people like them.
Now, seeing Lin Feng, Cang Hai found him exactly as the rumors described—a Heaven-Forsaken One who could not become an Emperor. But he had heard that Lin Feng had killed multiple Martial Emperors, even a Mid-rank Emperor, relying on the formidable power of the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard. He wielded seven types of Law Force and had brought three young prodigies from the Demon Realm, all of whom were arrogant beyond measure. Cang Hai wanted to see just how powerful this Lin Feng really was.
Upon hearing Cang Hai's words, Suan and the others stepped back a few paces. Suan had personally witnessed Lin Feng's two battles with Wu, each more terrifying than the last. Wu's attacks had improved significantly, yet he still couldn't shake Lin Feng and was defeated cleanly. Since this man wanted to challenge the strongest among them, Lin Feng, let him understand what it meant to seek death.
Cang Hai's sharp, piercing eyes locked onto Lin Feng. Instantly, a force of the heavens enveloped Lin Feng's body, the Law of the Heavens pressing down on him. Cang Hai's hand trembled, and the heavens roared as a terrifying heavenly handprint seized Lin Feng's body. Lin Feng stood with his hands behind his back, not moving an inch, which made Cang Hai sneer. "Where are your seven types of Law Force now?"
With that, the terrifying power of the heavens wrapped around Lin Feng's body and lifted him into the air, sending him tumbling upward.
"Die!" Cang Hai saw that Lin Feng still hadn't moved, still standing with his hands behind his back, a fierce killing intent radiating from his face. The heavenly handprint suddenly exploded, intending to crush Lin Feng's body. However, a layer of demon armor covered Lin Feng's body. When the handprint burst, the armor, interwoven with earthy yellow and black, remained unbroken, causing Cang Hai's pupils to contract slightly.
"Dual-type Law Force, Demon and Earth. Your defense is indeed formidable." Cang Hai's expression hardened. Then, the void around him stirred violently as endless heavenly power converged wildly. His right hand trembled in the air, and suddenly a massive handprint took shape, hurtling toward Lin Feng to obliterate him. Rumbling sounds shook the heavens and earth wildly. The armor on Lin Feng's body shattered, but the remaining force striking his physical form only made him shift half a step. His brow twitched slightly, and his pupils gradually turned pitch black. Within those pupils, killing intent brewed.
His black pupils fixed on Cang Hai, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. "You started this."
With that, a terrifying storm enveloped Lin Feng. He shot across the void like a gale, roaring toward Cang Hai. Cang Hai's expression stiffened. Lin Feng had taken his attack without being shaken at all, which left him feeling powerless. Was he really supposed to step down from the stage of history? Was this era meant to belong to these younger figures?
"Roar!" Sensing the oppressive might of the demonic path, Cang Hai let out a furious roar. The heavens in the void churned violently, and an overwhelming pressure coalesced into a supreme heavenly palm, rolling toward Lin Feng like countless five-fingered peaks, boundless and mighty.
"Boom!" The demon tribulation descended, shattering the various heavenly handprints into nothingness. Lin Feng, wrapped in the terrifying power of tribulation, appeared beside Cang Hai. Cang Hai's figure retreated wildly, but Lin Feng's hand trembled, shaking the earth. This caused Cang Hai's body to sink slightly, as if bearing an ancient mountain on his back. At the same time, the black power of tribulation coiled around his body, making Cang Hai dare not move. This violent, destructive demon tribulation force could easily annihilate his physical form.
"Boom!" A series of terrifying auras erupted as the members of the Cang Clan seated below all stood up simultaneously, their bodies rising into the air, their gazes fixed on Lin Feng. One of them shouted coldly, "The outcome is decided. Release him."
"Outcome?" Lin Feng's lips curled with a cold, mocking sneer. "When he attacked me, he went all out, his killing intent exposed. Outcome means life and death."
With that, Lin Feng stamped his foot, causing the void to tremble. The tribulation force coiling around Cang Hai's body suddenly exploded. The crowd clearly sensed a power of judgment—tribulation judgment. The black demon tribulation force swept over Cang Hai's body, and in an instant, nothing remained: no bones, no soul.
Outcome meant life and death. There was no such thing as a decided outcome. Lin Feng had endured the Cang Clan's arrogance for far too long.
"This guy is so ruthless and decisive. He killed a member of the Cang Clan without even blinking." The crowd felt a chill in their hearts. Cang Hai had been absent for many days, likely in seclusion or training. Now that he had just emerged, he met with utter destruction. It seemed he was destined to be eliminated by the times.
"How dare you kill him!" The Cang Clan members stared at Lin Feng, their killing intent erupting violently. Lin Feng had killed a Cang Clan powerhouse in front of everyone, showing utter contempt for their clan.
Lin Feng's eyes suddenly turned, locking onto the Cang Clan members. His icy killing intent was released without restraint, swirling through the void, making the surrounding crowd clearly feel this bone-chilling aura.
The crowd's pupils contracted slightly as they sensed the cold killing intent radiating from Lin Feng. Their hearts trembled. What did this guy intend to do? Slaughter the Cang Clan?
The Cang Clan members felt it most acutely. This was clearly an aura meant to kill them.
"Boom!" Lin Feng stepped forward, shaking the void. The hearts of the young Cang Clan powerhouses pounded violently, their expressions turning extremely ugly. Lin Feng wasn't just daring to kill Cang Xiao—he wanted to kill them all, tyrannical and overbearing.
The crowd was stunned. Only then did they understand the meaning of his earlier words: "You started this." If the Cang Clan could attack him, why couldn't he retaliate?
In the past, Cang Xiao had repeatedly scorned him, but that was tolerable. However, on the day Xi Emperor of Guang Han Palace appeared, the powerful elders of the Cang Clan had oppressed him so heavily. Though he couldn't fight back then, he had remembered the Cang Clan's "great kindness." If the old ones couldn't be touched, but the young ones dared to provoke him, why couldn't he wipe them out?
The Cang Clan members were not skilled in speed, while Lin Feng had both the Wind Law and Space Law to enhance his movement. How could their speed compare to his? As the gale swept by, Lin Feng appeared before one of them. A fist imbued with terrifying demon tribulation power shot out, unstoppable. The man hastily defended, but when Lin Feng's monstrous physical strength and demon tribulation power descended simultaneously, all resistance turned to nothing. The tribulation fell, and the man's body was blasted apart.
"Kill!" The others' faces turned grim as they attacked Lin Feng simultaneously. A barrage of terrifying forces struck Lin Feng's body, and one of them even used the power of the heavens to punch directly at Lin Feng's head.
"Earth Power." Lin Feng's eyes were like lightning. Instantly, the man felt an overwhelming gravitational force pressing down on him. The sudden weight caused his body to sink, and his attack could only land on Lin Feng's chest. But the defensive armor formed by Lin Feng's dual Law Force was incredibly sturdy. Even Lin Feng's physical body alone was strong enough that the man couldn't break through it. The powerful attack couldn't even shake Lin Feng's frame.
By now, Lin Feng had undergone more than a dozen tribulations, each one tempering and refining his body. His physical strength was far greater than a year and a half ago. Even without the dual defensive armor, the man might not have been able to break through.
"The Cang Clan really is useless. No wonder they can only bully the young with the old." Suan sneered from the side. Lin Feng's annihilation fist shot out, and the man who had attacked him had his head blown apart—one punch, one kill.
"His physical body is monstrous, and his dual Law defense is terrifying." The crowd stared at Lin Feng. What kind of freak was this? Though he couldn't become an Emperor, he seemed intent on cultivating the Invincible Sovereign Lord to its peak. The Cang Clan's Low-rank Emperors were now easily crushed and killed.
"Boom! Boom!" Two more explosive sounds rang out. The void burst, and figures shattered and vanished, leaving no bones or souls behind. Someone tried to flee, but Wu moved like lightning, unleashing the supreme Sun Law, which also carried overwhelming might. At the same cultivation level, he easily crushed and killed the Cang Clan members. Soon, all the young Cang Clan Martial Emperors present were wiped out cleanly, not a single one left. The crowd's hearts trembled. This slaughter was truly ruthless—overwhelming suppression and killing, leaving no survivors.
