"You are who? Why are you within the Immortal Mountain, arriving from the Heavenly River?" The leading expert of the Black Shark Legion stared coldly at the person who had emerged from the Immortal Mountain. From the highest heavens to the deepest Yellow Springs, entering the Heavenly River's Yellow Spring meant certain death. Now, someone was riding an Immortal Mountain here—how could he not be shocked?
"These people fought a great battle, losing so many experts, and yet all that appears from the Immortal Mountain is a single martial cultivator. What a waste," the crowd thought to themselves. Their gazes were also fixed on that Innate Immortal War King Body. His kingly aura, outstanding and extraordinary, made him seem like a descendant of ancient kings, extremely dazzling. This person was certainly no ordinary man.
The young man with the Innate Immortal War King Body calmly swept his cold eyes over the Black Shark Legion expert without speaking. Then, he looked around, as if surveying his surroundings.
"I am asking you a question," the Black Shark Legion member said, seeing his words ignored. A cold light burst from his eyes, as if a ball of netherfire blazed within them, ready to incinerate the other party.
The Innate Immortal War King Body youth's eyes suddenly turned. In an instant, two terrifying, heaven-shaking demonic slaughter auras shot from his pupils. The immortal slaughter aura actually shook the void itself, as if two thunderclaps had exploded. The Black Shark Legion expert's eyes stung sharply, and he stumbled back repeatedly, feeling waves of slaughter will ravaging through his mind, rampaging unchecked.
"An immortal king, also containing demonic slaughter power," the Black Shark Legion expert's heart trembled violently. Then, the War King Body youth took a step forward. The entire void seemed to be enveloped by an immortal slaughter aura, transforming into a vortex of slaughter.
"This person's slaughter power is nearly becoming a Dao. With such terrifying demonic slaughter Dao power, how many lives has he taken? And on top of that, with his innate Immortal War King Body, his combat power is truly astonishing," Ao Xu thought to himself. Though he was a dragon clan expert, his true form was a demonic dragon, with talent comparable to human martial cultivators' King Bodies. This person's King Body was innate, and he had also formed a slaughter Dao—he was even more formidable than Ao Xu.
"Let's go. This person is tempering his slaughter Dao. He will surely use the people of our Immortal Kingdom Trial Ground to refine his Dao," Ao Xu said. The Immortal War King Body youth had already charged at the Black Shark Legion expert. Countless strands of demonic slaughter aura, like scythes of death, claimed lives. The terrifying hell formed by the opponent's flames was torn apart by the slaughter aura.
The Water Moon Cave Heaven group slowly retreated. Before long, the Black Shark Legion expert was actually killed by the Innate War King Body youth.
The Innate Immortal War King Body youth did not pause for a moment. His body flickered, and waves of demonic slaughter light surged from him. His body trembled violently, and instantly, tens of millions of immortal slaughter king auras shot out simultaneously, charging at the Black Shark Legion experts.
"Die!" The Black Shark Legion, already severely weakened from their battle with Water Moon Cave Heaven, had suffered countless casualties. Yet they still had many experts. A vast, surging death nether power bloomed simultaneously, as they sought to kill the War King Body youth.
But at that moment, a true Slaughter King materialized behind the War King Body youth, standing proudly against the heavens. The slaughter aura formed a halo that enveloped his body, preventing death power from penetrating him.
"Boom!" The War King Body youth took another step, causing the experts facing him to tremble in their hearts. He gave them the feeling of a god descending to the mortal world, like a true Slaughter King arriving on earth, making them feel an illusion of invincibility.
The War King Body youth raised a finger. Terrifying slaughter aura instantly pierced through the expert's mind. In an instant, another expert fell, a shocking sight.
Before long, corpses fell one after another into the void below, swept away by the Yellow Spring. The crowd watched from afar as the Black Shark Legion members kept falling. The Black Shark Legion itself had gradually lost its will to fight, making them even easier to break. They were elite figures, but facing such an invincible existence, they felt their lives were as insignificant as weeds, easily mowed down.
"This person only kills, doesn't take the bodies. He lets them fall into the Yellow Spring, letting it swallow them, and the treasures are lost as well," Qin Yu watched from the side, his heart trembling. This person was solely focused on slaughter.
"He is tempering his own slaughter Dao, using people as sacrifices. The Heavenly River battlefield of the Immortal Kingdom Trial has become his place of Dao refinement."
The crowd had all figured out his purpose. This kind of person was too terrifying. Treasures no longer moved him. Only Lin Feng understood that this person was brought by the Demon God Hall's envoy. He lacked nothing in techniques and ancient scriptures. If he wanted treasures, he would certainly have them. What he wanted was his own power—to comprehend the Dao through slaughter.
"A person like this, I, Qin Yu, admit inferiority. I wonder if he is from the Underworld. He came from the Heavenly River—where exactly does he come from?" Qin Yu was puzzled. In truth, for the people on the Heavenly River battlefield, they were all just fighting madly. Although they knew the Heavenly River battlefield split the Immortal Kingdom Trial into two sides, and the other side also had a terrifying, vast army, when they encountered each other, they only killed. Most didn't know where the other came from. Many even thought they were all from the Underworld.
Only those who knew some secrets understood that the Underworld was not the only realm in heaven and earth. But what other realms existed, they didn't know clearly. Perhaps those on the other side came from other hells.
Lin Feng watched the War King Body youth's slaughter battle the whole time, his heart slightly stirred. This person sought the Dao through slaughter—how cold and fierce. But the martial world was cruel by nature. The Heavenly River battlefield was all about killing. The strong lived, without asking right or wrong. Lin Feng only observed the other's strength now, thinking to himself, how could he apply his own Life and Death Dao into divine ability attacks, rather than relying entirely on his array Dao?
"Let's go," Bai Ling said. The crowd nodded in agreement. This person was in the throes of slaughter; who knew how many he would kill. There was no need to clash with someone like him—it was very dangerous.
By now, the Water Moon Cave Heaven group had only a little over twenty people left. Their casualties were severe. Only today did Lin Feng truly understand what the so-called elite experts of the Immortal Kingdom Trial meant. Those absolute monstrous prodigies, when they were at the High-rank Emperor realm, were probably already beginning to pursue the comprehension of their own Dao.
"Holy City Central Continent, the Four Academies. Ying Cheng was enfeoffed as a king. Ji Shang is at War King Academy, ranked first on the Heavenly King-Sealing List, with the potential to be enfeoffed as a king. The two dominate the younger generation of Holy City Central Continent. They probably also have their own Dao. Otherwise, how could they dominate the Martial Emperor realm?" Lin Feng felt a surge of pressure. Even moving forward like this, it still didn't seem fast enough. Moreover, when he was at War King Academy, Ji Shang was already very powerful. Now, so much time had passed, and he didn't even know if Ji Shang had been enfeoffed as a king.
Lin Feng and the others continued forward. The Heavenly River rain curtain still fell from time to time. Although Lin Feng's group had only a little over twenty experts left, they were still elite figures, and they had seized quite a few good things. But now, everyone felt somewhat listless. Even Ao Xu lacked his former high-spirited vigor, as if stimulated by that Innate Immortal War King Body youth.
"The world is vast, and experts are endless. As long as the martial heart remains unchanged, one can continuously pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. Why let one person shake your resolve?" Lin Feng walked beside Ao Xu and said slowly. Ao Xu paused for a moment, looking at Lin Feng, and said cheerfully, "You appear to be a Low-rank Emperor in cultivation, but you should actually be at the Mid-rank Emperor realm. Your Life and Death transformation is extremely powerful. Your Life and Death array Dao has boundless might. It seems you have also touched the rhythm of the Dao, with astonishing talent. Now, seeing so many experts emerging on the Heavenly River battlefield, don't you feel a sense of desolation?"
"The strength of others is not something I can control. All I can do is strengthen myself," Lin Feng said with a smile. Ao Xu showed Lin Feng a hint of a smile and said loudly, "That's true. But normally, I would definitely want to fight a battle, to test his strength. Yet when he released his slaughter Dao just now, I could feel his heart of seeking the Dao through slaughter. My heart was uneasy, and I dared not fight him, so I felt somewhat dejected."
"I see," Lin Feng nodded with a smile. "When you form your Dao in the future, you can fight him then."
"Right. Our dragon clan will all comprehend our own innate Dao. If we meet again then, I will definitely have a fierce battle with him. I also look forward to your rapid growth," Ao Xu said cheerfully, looking into the distance. There, beyond a broken bridge, above the Yellow Spring, stood a misty peak. Many people were floating around it, but they seemed hesitant, as if very uncertain.
"The Heavenly River battlefield, above the Yellow Spring, actually has an ancient peak," Lin Feng's eyes focused. Then, he saw that the ancient peak seemed to be moving, causing a sharp glint to flash in his eyes. What a strange ancient peak.
"Hmm?" Ao Xu was startled, staring at the misty peak. "The Heavenly River battlefield, besides the Heavenly River dropping treasures, also has some places. These places may hold danger or opportunity. I don't know what this ancient peak is. Let's go take a look."
The group sped up, rushing toward the misty peak. When they got close, they found that on the misty ancient peak, there was a hazy scene, unclear. But several large characters appeared before their eyes, faintly visible.
"Questioning Dao Peak!" Lin Feng murmured. Ao Xu and the others' expressions changed slightly, showing surprise. "It's actually the Questioning Dao Peak. I've heard of it before, but this is my first time seeing it."
"What place is this?" Lin Feng asked. Qin Yu spoke, "Legend has it that the Questioning Dao Peak is a place for questioning the Dao. Within it is the Questioning Dao Heavenly Stele, which can illuminate a person's Dao heart."
"If that's the case, why are these people hesitating to go forward?" Lin Feng asked, looking at the people around.
"Questioning Dao Peak. Many people go but never return. They can enter but cannot leave," Qin Yu said calmly, causing Lin Feng to pause. Sure enough, it was a strange place on the Heavenly River battlefield!
