# Chapter 1868: Life and Death Dao

Lin Feng sat quietly on the mountain peak, allowing the two opposing laws of life and death to pierce through his body. When one reached the Invincible Sovereign Lord level and ascended to the Martial Emperor seat, they had to undergo a period of law infusion into their bodies. Only then could they truly communicate with heaven and earth, allowing their own laws to connect with the laws of heaven and earth. The stronger one's law power and the deeper one's comprehension of the laws, the more powerful the heavenly and earthly laws they could gather and utilize.

Truly formidable divine ability attacks all used one's own laws to draw upon the laws of heaven and earth, merging the two together to form a direct attack. This had the greatest power. Under the limitation of one's own laws, the stronger the heavenly and earthly laws you could mobilize, the more ferocious the attack.

When Lin Feng fought in the outside world, he couldn't directly communicate with and mobilize the laws of heaven and earth. What he relied on were the endless, surging law powers within his own body—abundant, powerful, and inexhaustible—allowing him to unleash formidable might. But now, he could finally make the laws of this heaven and earth serve him. Of course, at present, he had only undergone the infusion of life and death laws; only these two laws were recognized by this heaven and earth and could be called upon.

"Green Lotus Commander entered the Dao through the green lotus. The green lotus Dao encompasses all things. Therefore, Green Lotus Commander could make all laws share the same origin, as if they had merged into one. He only needed to cultivate one system of laws. As for me, I was originally abandoned by heaven, and my laws were not recognized. But now, this heaven has no choice but to acknowledge me. It seems that through this experience of life and death enlightenment, I have touched the edge of a certain Dao. This Dao might be called the Life and Death Dao," Lin Feng murmured to himself.

Martial Dao, Martial Dao. Long ago, Lin Feng had heard of the concept of Dao, but it had always been ethereal and elusive. He simply couldn't understand what Dao meant. It wasn't until Green Lotus Commander revealed his Green Lotus Dao that Lin Feng seemed to vaguely sense this elusive existence. And this time, he could clearly feel that he indeed had a marvelous enlightenment regarding life and death. This was both his comprehension ability and his karmic opportunity.

At this moment, around the mountain peak where Lin Feng sat, several figures had already appeared in the void, their gazes fixed on Lin Feng.

"This person's comprehension ability is extraordinary. He can comprehend and receive infusion of both life and death laws simultaneously. Moreover, the power of these laws is much stronger than ordinary people's," the crowd thought with inner trembling, staring at Lin Feng who was undergoing law infusion. They hadn't expected that such a character was hidden in this remote place.

After a long while, the storm of laws in the void gradually dissipated. Lin Feng looked up at the sky, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Congratulations, sir, on becoming an emperor with dual-system laws," a clear voice rang out. Several figures descended before Lin Feng, smiling at him. At this moment, Lin Feng's cultivation was clearly at the Low-rank Emperor realm.

Lin Feng's expression flickered. After receiving law infusion, his cultivation was actually at the Low-rank Emperor level!

"I cultivate the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art. This technique belongs to the demonic path. My demonic law hasn't received heaven's recognition. After undergoing law infusion, perhaps for this reason, my cultivation appears to outsiders as merely Low-rank Emperor," Lin Feng speculated inwardly.

After all, for martial artists, cultivation level primarily depended on the technique they practiced. Every martial cultivator, upon reaching a certain realm, had to cultivate a corresponding level of technique to match, and it had to be a technique that could elevate their cultivation. The Three Lives Scripture and the Heavenly Derivation Scripture were supplementary, strange ancient scriptures; they didn't directly elevate cultivation.

Generally, any technique that could directly elevate cultivation was necessarily accompanied by a certain law. For example, the Ten Thousand Calamities Indestructible Heavenly Demon Art primarily governed the demonic law; the Heavenly Ancient Scripture governed the heavenly law; the Heaven Devouring Scripture governed the devouring law.

Lin Feng's demonic technique had advanced, allowing him to step into the Mid-rank Emperor realm. His demonic law was the strongest and had also reached the Mid-rank Emperor level. However, the demonic law hadn't been recognized by this heaven. But Lin Feng's life and death laws had received infusion. Therefore, Lin Feng's displayed cultivation was at the Low-rank Emperor realm.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over the crowd. Most of these people were at the Mid-rank Emperor realm. This made Lin Feng inwardly cautious. Since they were all at the Mid-rank Emperor realm, they were very likely members of various major powers.

"Becoming an emperor is nothing special. All of you have likely been emperors for a long time. What is there to congratulate?" Lin Feng said with a smile, his calm eyes showing no ripples.

"Sir, do you know that the world you are in is a hell within the Underworld, merely a small world created by a powerful being?" At this moment, someone spoke to Lin Feng.

"I know," Lin Feng nodded slightly.

"Since you know, I'll be straightforward. I am a subordinate of King Chu Jiang, one of the Ten Kings of the Underworld. King Chu Jiang governs Chu Jiang City, which commands the ten major cities. We are precisely the City Lord's Mansion army. If you are willing, you can temporarily join us. With your talent, you might have the opportunity to become a member of the City Lord's Mansion army," the man extended an olive branch to Lin Feng, speaking with a smile.

However, Lin Feng slightly shook his head and said with a smile, "I am a man of the mountains, accustomed to walking alone."

"Heh, sir, you may not know that our Chu Jiang City is currently contending for control of this hell. This world may be placed under Chu Jiang City's jurisdiction at any time. When that happens, all the people of this hell will have to be commanded by Chu Jiang City. Now you have the opportunity to be directly under the City Lord's Mansion of Chu Jiang City, rather than under subordinate commanders. This is a great opportunity. You shouldn't miss it," the man spoke again, saying slowly with a meaningful smile on his face.

However, Lin Feng's expression remained calm, without any ripples. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir."

With that, Lin Feng didn't continue speaking and showed no further reaction. This caused a strange look to flash in the other party's eyes. This person seemed somewhat ungrateful. He had given him an opportunity, but he didn't want it. Did he have to be suppressed and commanded before he would be willing?

As long as their Chu Jiang City seized control of this hell, then all the resources and martial artists of this hell would fall under the jurisdiction of this hell's commander. No talented martial artist could escape.

"The rules of the Underworld are much more direct and forceful than those of the Nine Heavens Continent," Lin Feng thought to himself. In the Underworld, the commanders under the Ten Kings governed the hells with absolute control.

"Sir, you should cherish this opportunity, or you will regret it," the man had already begun to threaten directly, his voice cold.

"I never regret anything," Lin Feng's voice remained casual. Immediately, cold light bloomed in the other party's eyes. "You don't know what's good for you. Even if you've comprehended the two opposing laws of life and death, and even if your talent is strong, you're still just a weakling who has just stepped into the Martial Emperor realm. If you had agreed, you might have achieved something in the future. But since you refuse, you're digging your own grave!"

With that, the man stepped forward forcefully. With a thought, death law enveloped Lin Feng's body. A powerful death intent descended upon Lin Feng, intending to make him die directly.

"Even if you've comprehended life and death laws, I'll make you die under death law," the man said coldly. Lin Feng's talent was not weak. He had already invited him. Since he couldn't be used by them, he would kill him.

If Lin Feng were truly an ordinary person who had just stepped into the Martial Emperor realm, even if he had comprehended life and death laws, he would still die under this powerful death law's envelopment. However, the other party didn't know that although Lin Feng's life and death law power wasn't as strong as his, Lin Feng's comprehension of life and death laws was far greater. There was no doubt about it. From now on, Lin Feng's life and death law power would inevitably grow rapidly.

Life and death, two opposing forces. Lin Feng had already touched the edge of the Life and Death Dao, reaching the level of Dao. Although it was still vague, it was absolutely beyond what the other party could compare to. The powerful death law descended upon Lin Feng, but it had no effect on him at all. At this moment, Lin Feng was like an undying person.

"Hmm?" The man seemed to sense something was wrong. Lin Feng stood there, allowing his powerful death law to envelop him, without any reaction at all.

"Interesting," the other party sneered. He stepped toward Lin Feng on the mountain peak. With a wave of his hand, a death claw appeared. In the void, a huge death claw imprint emerged, as if tearing several gaps in the heaven and earth, reaching toward Lin Feng. If it hit, his body would be directly torn apart.

Lin Feng's figure was like the wind, suddenly disappearing. The terrifying death claw directly struck the mountain peak. Instantly, the entire mountain split from the middle, revealing a five-finger claw imprint, as if it had been forcibly torn open.

"Wind law as well?" The other party's expression froze for a moment, staring at Lin Feng. He snorted coldly. A powerful death claw directly appeared in front of Lin Feng, about to seize him.

"These people are at the peak of the Mid-rank Nether Emperor level. The speed at which they use divine ability power is very fast, and very strong. They can almost make the divine ability appear with just a single thought," Lin Feng thought to himself. Suddenly, a fist light blasted out. With a cracking sound, the death claw exploded.

The surrounding crowd stared at Lin Feng one by one, showing surprised expressions. How strange. Lin Feng's power was actually this strong. Moreover, the demonic power he had just used was clearly at the Mid-rank Emperor level. And his wind law—could it be that this wasn't his first law infusion?

But they had witnessed Lin Feng's realm elevation with their own eyes. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't understand. It was extremely strange.

"Whoosh!" Silver wings appeared on Lin Feng's back. Dazzling silver light refracted brilliant radiance. Wind law wrapped around Lin Feng's body and the silver wings. His figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

The Mid-rank Nether Emperor strongman watched Lin Feng charging toward him. A colder light flashed in his eyes. In his palm, a dark death vortex power gathered, as if layers of terrifying death claws were overlapping and appearing.

"Die!" The Mid-rank Nether Emperor struck out with one blow. Instantly, the void was torn apart by terrifying death claws, madly rushing toward Lin Feng. The entire void was enveloped and wrapped.

"Life!" Lin Feng shouted angrily. Instantly, the power of life seemed to descend upon the death claws. Suddenly, life and death transformed. The power of the death claws seemed to dissipate. Then, Lin Feng punched out, charging straight through the layers of claws that enveloped him, crushing everything in his path.

The Mid-rank Nether Emperor's expression changed slightly. Then, a life law enveloped him. At the extreme of life, the death aura on his body had nowhere to hide, all about to transform into the power of life. This feeling made him collapse. Lin Feng was directly using life law to interfere with the death force within his body.

The other party specialized in death force. If Lin Feng tried to use death power to deal with him, it would be difficult. Therefore, he used the power of life and death's opposition to control the other party's death power.

"Roar!" A dragon roar shook the heavens. Suddenly, nine dragons appeared behind Lin Feng, ferocious and terrifying.

"Imprison!" Lin Feng reached out and grabbed the void. But the other party's cold light flashed. His body seemed to transform into a death vortex. How could Lin Feng give him another chance? Life power descended once more, directly interfering with his power, preventing the opponent from unleashing it.

Nine furious roars sounded. The Nine Dragons Heaven Devour beast directly devoured downward, biting the other party's body. Then, a terrifying devouring power spread out, beginning to madly devour the other party's death power.
