Chapter 1855: A Bountiful Harvest
The destructive force still raged and exploded on the battle platform. The crowd stared fixedly at that spot, their hearts trembling violently.
Qin Yao's strength was astonishing. With overwhelming power, she had turned the entire battle platform, with Lin Feng at its center, into a purgatory. Simultaneously, three balls of hellfire wrapped around Lin Feng, bombarding him. Despite Lin Feng's formidable strength, such an attack seemed, in the crowd's estimation, impossible to counter. Yet, it was only at the moment of impact that they truly understood how powerful Lin Feng was.
Using the power of the array to seal the earth, he calmed the ground. At the same time, his indomitable battle will and the domineering will of one ruling the world blazed forth. He unleashed the Thunder Emperor's Power of the Slash and the Chaotic Heaven Fist, extinguishing the first ball of hellfire. The laws contained within this attack included Indestructibility, Death, Lightning, and Earth—four powerful laws fused into a single divine ability, its power limitless.
The second ball of hellfire was destroyed by a sword. The Setting Sun Heavenly Fall contained a sword condensed from the Law of Flame, a sword condensed from the Law of Earth, a sword condensed from the Law of Wind, and a sword condensed from the Law of Death. Four sword intents, one sword technique. The Laws of Flame and Wind, added to the previous four, made this the sixth law system.
The third ball of hellfire was crushed by the rumbling war chariot. That purple chariot was terrifying, rolling across the sky with boundless might, also incorporating various laws into its power.
Finally, there was Qin Yao's own strike. Her attack was the most terrifying of all. In this situation, Lin Feng should have had no solution, yet he forcibly broke through it. Qin Yao failed to shake Lin Feng; instead, she was blasted into the sky by his counterattack, spitting blood. For such a powerful strike to be shattered, it showed just how terrifying Lin Feng's strength was. The myriad of Heavenly Demon Tribulation Forces, combined with Lin Feng's monstrous physical power, made his attack absolutely horrifying.
When the violent, surging energy subsided, the crowd saw the young man in a white robe, his black hair wildly dancing, standing as immovable as a rock, even after unleashing such a fearsome blow.
"A hundred consecutive victories—no one can stop it!" The crowd recalled Lin Feng's earlier words. They seemed to see the proud and aloof young man on the battle platform. He had forcefully seized ninety-nine consecutive wins. How could he lose the final battle? Even if it was against a Lord of Hell, the daughter of the Green Lotus Commander, Princess Qin Yao, she could not shake his perfect record.
At this moment, Qin Yao stood in the void, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Feng below. There was a hint of unwillingness in her gaze. She had come today to forcefully enter the City Lord's Mansion, to step in with her own strength. This first battle was meant to be her rise to fame. How could she accept defeat?
But looking at the deep, profound pupils of Lin Feng below, the confidence deep within her heart seemed to be gradually eroded.
"You have lost." A voice emerged from Lin Feng's mouth. He said, "Since you have lost, please return."
"The battle is not over yet." The smile was gone from Qin Yao's beautiful eyes. Within her body, it seemed an even more violent and terrifying flame was about to be released.
"The battle is already over. If the Princess insists on continuing, I cannot guarantee your safety." Lin Feng spoke calmly. His indifferent tone made the crowd's expressions freeze. If Qin Yao insisted, he couldn't guarantee her safety?
Lin Feng meant that he had held back earlier, controlling his power. Otherwise, Qin Yao would not be the Qin Yao she was now!
"A formidable youth!" The Green Lotus Commander smiled faintly, his gaze towards Lin Feng burning with intensity. If this boy were nurtured, he could one day become a Great Emperor, a powerful right-hand man. Perhaps, if Lin Feng's talent continued to flourish, he might even have the chance to become a Commander under Emperor Song, wielding great power, controlling a legion of Hell, and governing a region of the underworld.
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Qin Yao's expression turned even colder. Lin Feng dared to say he had held back. How could she bear this? Her strength hadn't even forced Lin Feng to use his full power?
That terrifying force grew even more intense, radiating from her body. But at that moment, a voice rang out: "Qin Yao, that's enough."
The speaker was Qin Yao's father, the Black Rope Commander. Qin Yao's gaze slowly turned towards her father.
"Alright, come back." The Black Rope Commander nodded slightly at Qin Yao. Qin Yao hesitated for a moment, but seeing her father's gaze, she finally nodded. The terrifying destructive aura on her body receded. She then stepped forward and returned to the Black Rope Commander's side. Her arm still hung limp, as if she couldn't lift it.
"The battle platforms of the City Lord's Mansion are indeed full of powerful experts. This young hero, once he enters the City Lord's Mansion, will surely have his day to shake the world." The Black Rope Commander said with a smile. Although Lin Feng had defeated his daughter Qin Yao, he wouldn't blame Lin Feng for it. After all, Lin Feng and his daughter had fought an honorable battle on the platform, and Qin Yao was the one who challenged him. Though he held a high position, he had no reason to blame Lin Feng. Besides, as a Commander of a Hell region and a Netherworld Heavenly Emperor, how could he lack such magnanimity?
Although Lin Feng had injured Qin Yao, her injuries were not serious. This defeat for his daughter was a lesson, teaching her that there is always a sky above a sky. An unknown youth possessed such combat power.
Of course, the Black Rope Commander was still somewhat frustrated. Because of Lin Feng's strength, he had lost face in front of the Green Lotus Commander.
"Qingqing, consider this hellfire a gift from your Uncle Black Rope." The Black Rope Commander held a ball of hellfire in his hand. This flame seemed to contain terrifying power, but it was not released. The hellfire drifted slowly towards Qingqing.
This hellfire was the Black Rope Commander's wager. Qingqing naturally wouldn't refuse. She smiled faintly and nodded slightly at the Black Rope Commander.
Qingqing held the hellfire in her palm, looked at her father, the Green Lotus Commander, and laughed: "It's a pity I don't cultivate flame power. Otherwise, this hellfire would definitely make me much stronger."
"Even if you don't cultivate flame power, with a little refinement, this hellfire can be used against enemies." The Green Lotus Commander smiled. Then, he extended his hand, and a will of all things growing emanated from his palm. Suddenly, a green sprout emerged, and then the Green Lotus Commander held a green lotus in his hand.
The Green Lotus Commander looked towards the battle platform and smiled at Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, I promised you that if you achieved a hundred consecutive victories, I would gift you a green lotus. Take it."
As he spoke, the Green Lotus Commander flicked his wrist, and the green lotus burst forth with ten thousand feet of green light, drifting towards Lin Feng until it reached him.
Lin Feng held the green lotus in his hand and immediately felt a wondrous power, a power of tolerance. The Dao of this green lotus seemed to embrace all things.
"Thank you for your generous gift, Commander." Lin Feng smiled and bowed slightly to the Green Lotus Commander. A Commander gifting him a green lotus was a favor. He could sense that this green lotus might be of great use to him.
"Lin Feng, I see you also cultivate the Law of Flame, and your Law of Death is also very strong. You can forge Nether Fire. This hellfire is of little use to me. Why don't I give it to you as well?" Qingqing said with a light laugh, her voice sweet. Then, she flicked her wrist, and the hellfire also drifted towards Lin Feng, causing everyone's expressions to freeze. Lin Feng was incredibly lucky. Not only had he received a life-bound green lotus from the Green Lotus Commander, but now he was also getting a hellfire.
However, luck was ultimately earned through strength. If Lin Feng hadn't possessed such formidable power, achieving a hundred consecutive victories and stunningly defeating Qin Yao, the Green Lotus Commander probably wouldn't have looked upon him so favorably.
"Princess, this hellfire was a gift to you from the Commander. How could I, Lin Feng, dare to take such a beautiful thing from you?" Lin Feng didn't refuse the green lotus from the Green Lotus Commander, but now Qingqing was gifting him the hellfire, which was originally the Black Rope Commander's possession. This made him feel it was inappropriate.
"This hellfire is indeed of little use to me. It can unleash its power better with you. Uncle Black Rope won't mind." Qingqing nodded to Lin Feng with a smile. Indeed, the Black Rope Commander then said, "Lin Feng, since Qingqing is willing to give it to you, just accept it."
"Since that's the case, I'll be greedy for once." Lin Feng was not one to be bound by rigid etiquette. When a decision was needed, he made it. He put away both the green lotus and the hellfire.
At that moment, a figure soared into the air, landed on the battle platform, and took out a dark Nether Force token engraved with the character "Song." He tossed it towards Lin Feng, saying, "With a record of a hundred consecutive victories, hold this token and you may enter the City Lord's Mansion and become a member of its legion."
"Thank you." Lin Feng accepted the City Lord's Mansion token of Emperor Song.
"Imprint your divine sense into it. Let the token and your divine sense merge." The man spoke again. This was to prevent the token from being lost and used by others if Lin Feng died later. If Lin Feng imprinted his divine sense, once he died, the imprint would shatter, and the token would become invalid.
Lin Feng did as he was told, fusing a strand of his divine sense into the token. Then the man spoke again: "Lin Feng, you have achieved this hundred-victory record at the perfect time. Today, over ten people with such records will gather. If you can defeat the other nine hundred-victory holders, you can obtain some special privileges within the City Lord's Mansion. Do you wish to participate?"
"Participate." Lin Feng nodded without any hesitation. With such a good opportunity, how could he miss it?
"Good. Since you are participating, please rest in the ancient pavilion by the viewing platform. When all the battle platforms have determined their hundred-victory champions today, the gathering of the hundred-victory record holders will commence." The man said with a smile. Lin Feng looked towards the ancient pavilion by the viewing platform. So those people were all holders of hundred-victory records. In that case, he wouldn't be polite today. Thinking this, he stepped forward and also descended into one of the ancient pavilions!
