# Chapter 1721: Chu Chunqiu's Strength
"Sea Cang sought his own death, which is one thing, but he even implicated his companions of the Cang Clan. Truly pitiful." Many of those present had witnessed Lin Feng's slaughter under the moonlight at Guang Han Palace in the past. This man was an utterly unrepentant mad demon, ruthless and decisive in killing, showing no mercy whatsoever to his enemies.
From the moment Sea Cang stepped forward, those who had witnessed Lin Feng's past massacres knew that this fellow was finished. Sea Cang, who had gone into seclusion for some years thinking his cultivation had advanced, had no idea how formidable these rising prodigies of the outside world truly were. Although Lin Feng had not become an Emperor, he wielded seven types of Law power and had achieved an Emperor-level physical body. Cang Xiao, though he had repeatedly scorned Lin Feng, had never dared to confront him head-on.
However, Cang Xiao now was not the same as the Cang Xiao of the past. Over the past year or so, Cang Xiao had cultivated the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art, which the Cang Clan had obtained in exchange from the Xi Emperor. The demonic art complemented the Cang Heaven Scripture, allowing him to forcefully overcome the demon tribulation. He had also achieved several magnificent battle records. If he were to encounter Lin Feng again, perhaps Cang Xiao would engage in a great battle.
"Brother Lin's strength is truly extraordinary. If one day you ascend to the Imperial throne, it will surely shake heaven and earth," Chu Chunqiu said with a smile, not paying much attention to the deaths of the several Cang Clan members. They had voluntarily fought Lin Feng. Although his Chu family were the hosts, they had no reason to interfere. Perhaps the Cang Clan would harbor dissatisfaction toward the Chu family, but so what?
"Compared to Brother Chu, it's insignificant," Lin Feng replied modestly. Ascend to the Imperial throne? He had long been an Emperor. It was just that in the eyes of outsiders, even if he later reached Mid-rank Emperor or even High-rank Emperor, he would still be seen as a Venerable Lord.
"Brother Lin is too modest," another young man of the Chu family said with a smile, gesturing for Lin Feng to take a seat. He continued, "Some time ago, Langxie left the ancient capital together with Guang Han Fairy Maiden, seemingly heading to Holy City Central Continent. Besides Brother Langxie, another King Body, Dugu Bubai, also departed. The friends of the past who were with Chunqiu have all left the ancient capital one after another. Chunqiu was in seclusion at the time, and after coming out, though he entered Mid-rank Emperor, he was unable to see his old friends here. That is somewhat regrettable."
"Oh?" Lin Feng was quite surprised. Langxie had actually gone to Holy City Central Continent. But after a moment's thought, he understood. Langxie had come out precisely to travel and train. After passing through Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, it was only natural for him to head to the more prosperous and powerful Central Continent. After all, Holy City Central Continent was one of the three most central main cities among the eighteen heavenly cities of Qingxiao Land. It was certainly more exciting than Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, gathering prodigies from all over Qingxiao Land.
"By the way, Brother Lin, I heard that you once exchanged the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art and the Nine Nether Demon Melody with the Cang Clan's experts. Now, many core members of the Cang Clan have begun to cultivate demonic arts simultaneously. Cang Xiao has already undergone the demon tribulation twice, his physical body has become extremely powerful, he wields the power of demon tribulation, and his strength is formidable. I see that Brother Lin also seems to have cultivated demonic arts. May I ask how many Heavenly Demon Tribulations you have undergone?"
The Chu family young man continued with a smile, casually asking Lin Feng. He did not know the specifics of how the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art was cultivated or what signs it showed. However, he had not seen Lin Feng endure the Heavenly Demon Tribulation's might in the ancient capital. Yet Lin Feng had indeed been able to use the power of tribulation. Could it be that because Lin Feng could not become an Emperor, he lacked the strength to summon the Heavenly Demon Tribulation?
"I am dull-witted. How could I possibly endure the Heavenly Demon Tribulation?" Lin Feng said with a smile. His Heavenly Demon Tribulations were all endured within his own Martial Soul world. Outsiders had no way of knowing, and he was too lazy to reveal anything to them.
"Brother Lin is joking. In my opinion, although Cang Xiao has achieved some success in cultivating demonic arts, he still cannot fight Brother Lin. Just now, Lin Feng easily annihilated several Martial Emperors of the Cang Clan," the Chu family young man said, seemingly very curious about Lin Feng's strength. Lin Feng was always shrouded in a layer of mysterious light. Just as Lin Feng and the others could not see through Chu Chunqiu, they too could not see through Lin Feng. A man who could not become an Emperor, yet possessed battle power at a shocking level.
"Your words are too hasty, sir. You underestimate my Cang Clan." At this moment, a group of figures strode in from the distant corridor, their bodies exuding strands of baleful aura, icy cold. Among this crowd, one was the elder brother of one of the men Lin Feng had just killed. The jade slip symbolizing his younger brother's life had shattered, telling him that the Cang Clan members who had gone ahead had likely met with misfortune. And indeed, they had all been killed by Lin Feng.
Cang Xiao was also among this group. His icy-cold eyes even contained a trace of demonic might, black as frozen ice, and his gaze, full of killing intent, shot toward Lin Feng without concealment.
Lin Feng turned his gaze to look at the arriving crowd, feeling waves of killing intent rushing toward him.
"Killing my Cang Clan's people. Very good," a Mid-rank Emperor said coldly, his voice icy. Then his gaze shifted to Chu Chunqiu and the Chu family young man who had just spoken. He said coldly, "My Cang Clan came as guests, yet we were all killed in the Chu family. And the Chu family speaks such sarcastic words. This is too unjust."
"I am also sorry for the deaths of the Cang Clan brothers. However, it was indeed they who provoked Lin Feng first. When they attacked Lin Feng, we did not interfere. This was their battle with Lin Feng. Although my Chu family is the host, it would not be appropriate for us to interfere in this matter. Otherwise, if we had stopped them when they attacked Lin Feng, the Cang Clan would probably say I was shielding Lin Feng, wouldn't they?"
The Chu family young man spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, calmly. Both were Ancient Saint Clans. Although his Chu family was not as glorious as in the era of the Chu King, they were still not a clan that the Cang Clan, also an Ancient Saint Clan, could bully.
"As for the discussion of who is stronger and who is weaker, I was merely stating my opinion. How is that sarcastic?" the Chu family young man said calmly. This was his Chu family's territory. How could the Cang Clan act so aggressively here?
"Stating your opinion? Chu Chunqiu of the Chu family has stepped into the Mid-rank Emperor realm. Indeed, his talent is outstanding. But does that make the Chu family so arrogant? Even if Chu Chunqiu has entered Mid-rank Emperor, he has only just entered. The path of martial arts is still long," the Cang Clan expert said, quite angry. Their Cang Clan people had been completely annihilated in the Chu family, and the other side was still speaking like this. How could he not be angry? Not only him, but all the Cang Clan members were filled with anger.
Chu Chunqiu's gaze was calm as he looked at the man and said, "Guests are guests. Please sit down and have a drink. As for my realm, I know it well myself. There is no need for you to comment."
"Chu Chunqiu, though you are low-key, there seems to be proud blood burning in your bones. Now that you have entered Mid-rank Emperor, it seems even more so," the Mid-rank Emperor said, stepping forward. His body soared into the air, descending above the crowd. He glared at Chu Chunqiu and said, "The Chu family's genius has been famous for a long time. Now that you have entered Mid-rank Emperor, I, Cang, would like to see your skill."
The crowd's expressions tightened. This Cang Clan expert was actually provoking Chu Chunqiu. It seemed he wanted to use Chu Chunqiu to restore the Cang Clan's reputation. The crowd all turned their gazes to Chu Chunqiu, wondering how he would handle this.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chunqiu remained calm. He lowered his head and first finished the wine in his cup. Then his body slowly rose. His purple robe fluttered in the wind. His gaze fell on the Cang Clan expert in the void, and he said flatly, "Are you sure you want to fight?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" the Cang Clan expert in the void said coldly, his momentum oppressive.
Chu Chunqiu nodded slightly, still looking at the other party. Suddenly, his pupils burst forth with terrifying light. An overwhelming will erupted abruptly like a fierce flood of beasts, rushing straight into the other's mind.
Slaughter, destruction, massacre, blood, death... A chaotic, terrifying, and immense spiritual will raged like a furious sea, suddenly all rushing into the other's mind, enveloping the entire Cang Clan expert. At this moment, Chu Chunqiu's body was surrounded by terrifying light. All kinds of will burst forth from him. Everything around him was crushed to dust. The people beside him all retreated. This overwhelming will could destroy everything.
"Boom!" Chu Chunqiu stepped into the void, and an even more terrifying will surged forth. The Cang Clan expert in the void seemed to have his battle will shattered in an instant. He struggled wildly, as if in this raging torrent, he was nothing more than a lonely sail.
"Kill!" Chu Chunqiu suddenly roared. His fist light pierced through the void, killing. The other party's will had already collapsed, leaving him without the strength to fight. This fist struck the other's body, directly causing it to explode in the void. His soul was scattered, leaving only the chaotic will and fierce laws rampaging.
Chu Chunqiu did not devour the other's will. He simply killed him outright.
"Will... such terrifying will battle." The crowd stared at this scene, their hearts shaken. This was the first time Chu Chunqiu had displayed such terrifying battle power in front of others. The chaotic and dreadful will could directly overwhelm and destroy the opponent's will. This was the first time Lin Feng had seen battle power unleashed through will. The Chu Chunqiu just now was like a terrifying primordial beast.
"The Heaven Devouring Scripture devours ancient Emperor wills. This Chu Chunqiu must have devoured the wills of many experts. Unleashing them all at once, like the wills of multiple ancient Emperors bursting forth simultaneously, directly crushes the opponent, leaving them without any resistance," the crowd thought with inner trembling. This kind of terrifying will battle power was unique to Chu Chunqiu, who cultivated the Heaven Devouring Scripture.
The Cang Clan members all had gloomy expressions, their faces extremely ugly. They had confidently challenged him, only to be so decisively killed. The battle power Chu Chunqiu had displayed was far too terrifying. None of the Cang Clan members who had come could match him.
