# Chapter 1828: The Strong All Descend
The distant onlookers watched this surging great battle, their hearts trembling. This time, the isolation of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region was about to be completely overturned.
Among those participating in the battle were five of the nine major powers of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, plus the Heavenly Terrace. Experts were as numerous as clouds, killing intent shook the heavens, and the entire sky above the Questioning Heavenly Fortress was covered by the flames of war. Casualties continued to mount. In this war of annihilation, there was no escape—only victory over the enemy, only killing the enemy, or else there would be no place to stand.
The people of the Heavenly Terrace began to make their move. Lin Feng and the others wielded Imperial weapons, slaughtering without cease. With every strike, they were sure to cut down one person, causing experts to fall continuously.
Jun Moxi and the others showed no mercy in their attacks. The Nether King's Spear transformed into countless netherworld spears, sweeping across heaven and earth, sealing the sky with nether qi wherever they passed. Whoever stood in their way was killed.
This battle was a disaster and destruction for these five major powers. The Great Zhou Immortal Palace and the Sikong Heavenly Fortress were both dragged into it, unable to extricate themselves. Only the instigators of the battle, the people of the Heavenly Terrace, seemed to have become the ones reaping the benefits, needing only to continuously harvest the lives of those experts. Lin Feng and the others held Imperial weapons—who dared to provoke them? The Lord of the Questioning Heavenly Fortress and the other two strong experts had to split their forces to deal with the Palace Lord of the Great Zhou Immortal Palace and the Fortress Lord of the Sikong Heavenly Fortress. If the remaining one dared to kill Lin Feng and the others, he would surely be surrounded and annihilated. Now, they were only waiting for the Azure Emperor.
The Dust-Defying Martial Emperor stood atop a fortress in the Questioning Heavenly Fortress, watching the great battle in the void. His expression was grave, flickering uncertainly. The Heavenly Terrace's methods were ruthless indeed—they wanted to reorganize the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region and establish new rules.
"The Azure Emperor will descend soon. When he does, that will be your time of death." Even though the Dust-Defying Martial Emperor had been crippled, killing intent still emanated from his body, as if he wished to put Lin Feng and the others to death.
Watching Martial Emperor after Martial Emperor fall, even the Dust-Defying Martial Emperor felt his heart tremble. How difficult it was to cultivate so many Martial Emperor experts, yet now they were like weeds, continuously dying and falling here.
At this moment, rolling winds and clouds trembled in the sky, as if heaven and earth were roaring. Flowing clouds surged wildly, and a terrifying pressure to the extreme suddenly spread down from the sky, descending upon the space above, causing all those fighting to tremble in their hearts.
"Stop!" A rolling wave of sound cascaded down from the sky. This figure was calm, yet it carried an undeniable, intense authority. The wildly fighting people actually stopped fighting as if by unspoken agreement. Their gazes lifted, looking at the sky. The people of the Questioning Heavenly Fortress revealed ecstatic expressions. The Azure Emperor had descended—it must be the Azure Emperor descending. The Heavenly Terrace, they were finished.
"Azure Emperor!" The Dust-Defying Martial Emperor also revealed a frenzied expression. The Azure Emperor had finally arrived. At this moment, the Dust-Defying Martial Emperor felt as if tears of old age were about to fall, as if he wanted to prostrate himself. Even his eyes had become bloodshot. Now, he could only rely on the Azure Emperor to avenge him, to kill Lin Feng, to sweep away the Heavenly Terrace.
In the void, a phantom figure appeared rolling in. This figure seemed to be enveloped in azure light, but it was not an old man as the crowd had imagined. Instead, it was a young man, very young, with eyes so sharp they gave people a terrifying feeling. The Azure Emperor, evergreen through the ages, had cultivated to a terrifying realm, returning to youth.
"A wisp of divine soul arriving first!" Lin Feng stared at the figure in the void. Then the Azure Emperor swept his gaze over Lin Feng and the others holding Imperial weapons, his expression cold, and said: "People of the Heavenly Terrace, step forward and speak."
Lin Feng's figure surged, rising into the air. He stepped on the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard, holding the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel, and ascended into the void. His gaze was calm as he looked at the phantom in the sky. Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended upon him, making his soul seem to tremble, as if it could be erased by the other party at any moment.
This caused Lin Feng's brows to furrow slightly. His expression was like lightning, cold light sweeping across.
"What an arrogant fellow. Seeing me, the Emperor, and still not paying respects." The Azure Emperor's voice carried a hint of coldness, the pressure growing even stronger.
"Just a wisp of divine soul." Lin Feng spoke coldly, causing the Azure Emperor to snort coldly, as if endless divine soul power was shaking the void.
"Insolent brat!" The Azure Emperor's palm trembled, and a terrifying pressure blasted toward Lin Feng. Lin Feng snorted coldly. The light of eight dazzling suns on the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel rushed toward the void, blasting heaven and earth into rolling chaos. Lin Feng's body continued to rise into the air, actually standing at the same position as the Azure Emperor, his gaze level with the other.
"Since you've arrived, I'll tell you this: from now on, this region has nothing to do with Azure Emperor Mountain. It will be ruled by my Heavenly Terrace." Lin Feng's voice rolled out, not very loud, but it could be clearly heard by everyone, causing their hearts to tremble violently. Was this guy crazy, daring to speak to the Azure Emperor like this?
"You're seeking death!" The Dust-Defying Martial Emperor stared at Lin Feng in the void, his voice icy. Lin Feng was walking the path to his own doom.
The Azure Emperor clearly had not expected Lin Feng to dare speak to him like this. His calm eyes narrowed slightly, then cold light flickered in his pupils as he said: "Do you know who you're speaking to?"
"Talk when your true body arrives." Lin Feng shouted coldly. His foot stamped down, and the Heavenly Derivation Chessboard erupted with ten thousand zhang of light, drowning everything. At the same time, the Eight Treasures Sun Wheel slashed out fiercely, blasting toward the Azure Emperor's phantom. The Azure Emperor's wisp of divine soul was suddenly bound by the Heavenly Derivation, then sunlight descended upon it, causing his expression to twist slightly: "Lin Feng, you're seeking death!"
With a thunderous explosion, the Azure Emperor's wisp of divine soul was destroyed, causing everyone's hearts to convulse. Even the Azure Emperor's divine soul dared to be destroyed—this was an insult to the Azure Emperor. This guy could no longer be described with the word "arrogant."
"Boom!" The distant void shook, heaven and earth roared. This time, the wind and clouds changed color. Endless terrifying pressure rolled in, pressing down, causing everyone's expressions to change unpredictably. The Azure Emperor's true body was about to arrive.
Indeed, after only a moment, a figure descended. It was precisely the Azure Emperor's true body. He took a step, as if crossing the void, and arrived before Lin Feng, his body emanating intense killing aura.
At this moment, Wu and the others surged, all gathering around Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng's combat power was strong, facing a true Great Emperor's true body, he still could not fight with force.
"I've arrived. How do you want to talk?" The Azure Emperor's eyes flickered with cold light. His palm trembled, and a green mountain seemed to bind Lin Feng's body, as if it could crush him to death. A single thought formed a law attack. This was a Great Emperor—the power of this heaven and earth seemed to have completely merged with him, requiring no mobilization, only a single thought.
"You've arrived, but you still need to get lost!" Wu, seeing the Azure Emperor attack Lin Feng, had an extremely fierce, arrogant light in his eyes, sharp and boundless: "If Azure Emperor Mountain dares to interfere in the affairs of this region, it will be erased from existence from now on. You, Azure Emperor, will be on the run for the rest of your life."
"You're threatening me?" The Azure Emperor stared at Wu, speaking coldly.
"I am threatening you." Wu said arrogantly, then a jade slip with a mark appeared in his hand. He reached out and crushed it, causing the void to explode. A monstrous demonic aura swept across the heavens. The entire sky suddenly transformed into a sea of fire. In the sky, a massive, boundless divine bird phantom appeared. Its pupils were larger than a person. Just one glance down, and no one's heart did not tremble.
"Wu, who bullied you?" The old Golden Crow spoke a sound from its mouth. Solar flames seemed to descend from the void, causing everyone's hearts to twitch violently. What level of divine bird was this?
The Azure Emperor's expression suddenly changed. This pressure... His eyes flickered continuously as he swept his gaze over Wu and the others. Just who were these guys?
"Azure Emperor of Azure Emperor Mountain, greetings to Senior." The Azure Emperor slightly bowed to the massive figure in the void. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he did not want to provoke an existence of this level.
The massive divine bird in the void stared at the Azure Emperor, its eyes cold to the extreme. But at this moment, heaven and earth rolled. Another terrifying pressure descended, the wind and clouds changing color, causing everyone's hearts to tremble continuously. Another terrifying figure had arrived.
A powerful figure surged in, causing the Dust-Defying Martial Emperor's eyes to freeze. There was hope. This time, it was the previous generation Azure Emperor descending.
The Dust-Defying Martial Emperor and the others had never imagined that Wu carried the soul imprint of such a terrifying expert. But now that the previous generation Azure Emperor had descended, he should be able to match the other party.
"Heavenly Emperor." The Azure Emperor slightly bowed to the newcomer, causing everyone around to turn their heads. The arriving void expert was actually a Heavenly Emperor, someone even the Azure Emperor had to respectfully address. What level of existence was this? Was a terrifying battle really going to happen today?
The Lord of the Questioning Heavenly Fortress and the others clenched their fists tightly, their gazes sharp and flickering. The tide had turned. The previous generation Azure Emperor had descended. Who could contend with him?
"I finally made it in time." The newcomer let out a long breath, looking at the figure in the void, revealing a smile. He knew very well how violent and tyrannical this old undying divine bird Golden Crow was: "Senior has come to the Azure Emperor Mountain region. These juniors have offended you. Please forgive them."
This single statement caused everyone's hearts to tremble violently. Even the Azure Emperor turned his head. What level was this divine bird in the void?
"Little Azure, this is a great demon expert from the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital's Demon Realm. Apologize immediately." The newcomer shouted at the Azure Emperor. The Azure Emperor's expression stiffened. The Demon Realm of the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital—of course he had heard of it. His face couldn't help but stiffen slightly.
"This junior has offended you. Please forgive me, Senior." The Azure Emperor bowed in apology. This series of events caused the Dust-Defying Martial Emperor's face to turn deathly pale, revealing an expression of despair. Two generations of Azure Emperors, bowing and calling the newcomer Senior. What kind of encounters had Lin Feng and his group had?
The Heavenly Emperor looked at the Azure Emperor and said: "For such a major matter, why didn't you notify me first?"
"Heavenly Emperor, I thought I could handle this matter of the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region myself. I didn't want to disturb you." The Azure Emperor's heart was filled with indescribable emotion at this moment. How could such a small matter in the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region have stirred up such a huge storm, even bringing a great demon expert from the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital's Demon Realm?
"Hmph!" The Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly, then looked at Lin Feng and the others, saying with a bitter smile: "After I heard about what happened here, I guessed it might be you little fellows, so I rushed over immediately. Fortunately, I'm not too late."
"Little Azure, come here!" The Heavenly Emperor shouted, then pointed at Lin Feng and the others: "The little fellows before you are mostly from the War King Academy of the Holy City Central Continent. Among them are descendants of the Demon Realm's ancestors, descendants of Senior Golden Crow, and the successor of the Nether King Palace of the Holy City Central Continent. For this to happen in the region under your jurisdiction, you should apologize to them."
The Azure Emperor's heart convulsed, filled with regret. He wished he could kill that old bastard Dust-Defying. Why hadn't he died sooner? This time, he had really stirred up a hornet's nest!
