# Chapter 2068: Lin Qiongsheng's Martial Soul
The giant sword howled terrifyingly, as if heaven and earth were being torn apart. The fearsome giant palm and the giant sword collided, yet the palm was still torn apart, turning into wisps of purple fragments. The giant sword's forward momentum was thus obstructed. With continuous booming sounds, the purple giant formed by Pei Donglai trampled through the void, purple energy surging across heaven and earth. His right hand swept forward wildly, and at this moment, it seemed as if eight thousand purple strands of hair transformed into terrifying swords, charging toward the giant sword ahead.
"What a terrifying attack! Eight thousand purple strands, each one a fearsome sword spanning heaven and earth. A single purple strand could kill a high-rank Martial Emperor realm expert," the crowd thought in shock. Pei Donglai was clearly enraged as well. Seeing the sword arriving from beyond the heavens, he instantly knew who had come and directly unleashed a terrifying slaughter.
"Back when Pei Donglai was at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm, he ranked third on the Emperor's List. Although he is not as strong as Lin Feng now, the Pei Donglai of today is not the same as before. Having already stepped into the Emperor realm, Lin Feng is his junior. How could Pei Donglai be defeated?" The crowd was shaken. Those eight thousand purple strands seemed indestructible, suspended in the void. They were not hair, but swords, piercing through that space.
The giant sword was unstoppable, carrying a terrifying suppressing force, swallowing the momentum of heaven and earth as it rolled forward, as if no power could block it.
"Kill!" Pei Donglai roared explosively. Eight thousand purple energies converged together, piercing toward the giant sword. A tremendous collision sound erupted. At the point of impact, the void seemed on the verge of annihilation, filled entirely with purple energy. The giant sword finally appeared to have its forward momentum suppressed.
The purple giant formed by Pei Donglai took a large step forward, heading directly in that direction. Purple energy shot straight into the clouds, its might sweeping across hundreds of miles, allowing the crowd to personally experience just how formidable a genius Emperor realm expert truly was.
However, at that moment, a black robe suddenly flashed, transforming into three thousand phantom bodies. Pei Donglai only felt three thousand palm prints rushing toward him simultaneously, causing his blood vessels to pound violently. He was enveloped by a suffocating pressure of death.
Pei Donglai's expression stiffened. The purple giant's gaze swept across the void. It was not Lin Feng. The one who appeared was actually a woman in black robes, her aura terrifyingly powerful to an extreme degree.
"Get lost!" Pei Donglai roared explosively. Purple giant palms blasted out in all directions, but they instantly shattered wildly. Palm prints struck his body, the giant's form crumbled, and Pei Donglai's true body emerged, retreating rapidly. However, at this moment, the three thousand phantom bodies had already surrounded him. An invisible hurricane wrapped around him, and annihilating palm prints blasted toward him once more. At this moment, Pei Donglai's face turned deathly pale, revealing an expression of despair.
The Pei family experts also changed expressions dramatically upon seeing this. Ever since the Pei family's Saint Emperor and the Ji family's Saint Emperor went to pressure the War King Academy and the ancient saint appeared, Saint Emperor level experts had stopped showing themselves. The strongest were now Heavenly Emperor and Great Emperor realm experts. Yet at this moment, the aura of the expert who moved to kill Pei Donglai vaguely suggested a Saint Emperor level figure.
"No…" A furious roar, and then the crowd heard a thunderous explosion. The three thousand phantom bodies merged together, but Pei Donglai's figure had vanished, fallen and killed.
The Pei family members who had rushed over turned deathly pale, their eyes fixed on the woman before them and Lin Feng. They shouted angrily, "Lin Feng, Pei Donglai fought you in a fair battle, yet you used such underhanded assassination methods. Despicable!"
"The Pei family is truly amusing."
Lin Feng's gaze swept indifferently over the Pei family experts. Hearing their words, he found it utterly ridiculous.
"Pei Donglai at the Great Emperor realm fighting me is called fair, but a Saint Emperor realm expert trying to kill me is also fair in the Pei family's eyes. Pei family Martial Emperor experts cower and dare not come out, sending Emperor realm experts to deal with me—that's also fair. What are you people thinking?"
Lin Feng said sarcastically, then stepped through the void, following Tang Youyou as they flickered away, leaving behind a laughing voice: "When I step into the Saint Emperor realm, I will descend upon your Pei family and discuss fairness with you."
The rolling voice echoed through the void, turning into reverberations. The crowd also showed amused expressions. Although they were somewhat surprised, having expected Lin Feng to fight Pei Donglai, hearing Lin Feng's voice made it clear: Lin Feng intended to destroy the Ji family and the Pei family, not to play at duels with them. As for fairness? The Pei family had once descended upon the War King Academy with an arrogant attitude, trying to pressure the academy into handing over Lin Feng. Rumors said they had also surrounded and attacked Lin Feng in Qi Tian Holy Capital, Saint Emperor against Martial Emperor. Now, intimidated by Lin Feng's ancient saint, the Pei family experts dared not come out, yet expected Lin Feng to fight their family's genius Great Emperor in a platform duel. This was indeed somewhat ironic.
Pei Donglai was killed, shaking the Pei family. In the high-rank Martial Emperor realm, the Pei family almost no longer had any exceptionally talented geniuses. Now, their number one genius in the Great Emperor realm, Pei Donglai, had been killed. The Pei family dared not imagine what kind of generational gap would appear in the future. In the years to come, the Pei family would likely suffer a severe blow to their vitality, forced to watch the young geniuses of other ancient saint clans compete.
The Human Emperor Palace was also shaken. Lin Feng had killed Pei Donglai without any hesitation, showing no consideration that Pei Donglai was a member of the Human Emperor Palace, just as Lin Feng had once said he did not care about the Human Emperor List at all.
It seemed Lin Feng had never considered the Human Emperor Palace within his scope of consideration. Pei Donglai was a member of the Pei family, and thus deserved death.
The Ji family and the Pei family had to repent and tremble for their actions.
Youyou had nearly been killed, and Meng Qing had been taken away. No one could imagine what Lin Feng's mood had been at that time. He had remembered all the forces that had surrounded and attacked him, including the Snow Clan.
That day, three Great Emperor realm experts from the Ji family fell, along with twelve Martial Emperor realm experts. Two Great Emperors from the Pei family fell, along with seven Martial Emperors, including Pei Donglai. It seemed that Lin Feng had hidden for so long precisely for this day of slaughter, concentrating all his killing intent for this single day of release.
The Pei family and the Ji family were shaken once again. However, Lin Feng once again disappeared without a trace afterward, as if he had never appeared.
At the same time, the War King Academy announced that the academy would no longer accept students from the Ji family or the Pei family. Furthermore, if any member of the Ji family or Pei family dared to harm any student of the academy, the academy's ancestor would personally come to demand accountability.
This announcement once again shook Holy City Central Continent. The Ji family and the Pei family remained silent. As ancient saint clans, this was an extreme humiliation for them. Whether their descendants entered the War King Academy was their own choice, yet now the War King Academy had publicly declared that they would never again allow members of the Ji family or Pei family to set foot in the academy. What a disgraceful matter this was.
The people of Holy City Central Continent had to begin contemplating the meaning behind these words. First, the latter sentence was clearly meant to protect Lin Feng's friends within the academy. As for never accepting members of the Ji family and Pei family, this meant the academy valued Lin Feng alone more than the future generations of the Ji and Pei families. Or perhaps the War King Academy believed that the Ji family and Pei family would eventually be reduced to historical dust under Lin Feng's slaughter.
The Ji family and Pei family had been repeatedly slapped in the face by Lin Feng and the War King Academy. What could they do but remain silent? Moreover, they now not only had to consider their current loss of face but also needed to think about what a disaster it would be for both families if Lin Feng grew to full strength in the future.
However, everything in Holy City Central Continent was no longer related to Lin Feng. Before leaving, he had met with several ancestors and discussed some matters. No one knew that this small meeting had triggered the subsequent announcement from the War King Academy.
In Qi Tian Holy Capital, although the fervor of the ancient saint ruins had gradually subsided, it still remained the focus of Qingxiao Land's attention. At least the mysterious and powerful existence locked by heavenly chains had become a puzzle in everyone's minds. Who were they?
On this day, Lin Feng arrived once again at the Holy Spirit Dynasty. When the Holy Spirit Dynasty learned that both Lin Feng and Tang Youyou had returned safely, they were genuinely overjoyed. To the Holy Spirit Dynasty, Lin Feng would be the father of their future Holy Emperor, and Tang Youyou's connection with the Holy Spirit Dynasty ran even deeper.
In a courtyard, Lin Feng crouched on the ground. Before him was a very cute little one, about two years old, with beautiful, clear eyes. He wore a small, noble robe, which made him look somewhat adorable and comical. At this moment, he looked at Lin Feng, his small eyes blinking, then raised his head to look at the Holy Emperor beside him.
"Qiongsheng, don't you want to see your father and mother? They are right in front of you," the Holy Emperor said with a smile.
The little one slowly stepped forward, extending his tender little hand toward Lin Feng, and asked, "Are you my father?"
"Yes," Lin Feng nodded with a smile.
"Oh, if you are my father, then my martial soul must be inherited from you. Show me your martial soul," the little one scratched his head, as if thinking.
"Uh..." Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let me see your martial soul first, then I'll show you mine."
"That works too," the little one nodded. Then, with a thought, behind Lin Qiongsheng, countless tentacles instantly appeared. Of course, they were not tentacles but tiny dragon bodies, filling the space behind him. Seeing this, Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and he was frozen there. Qiongsheng was already at the Heavenly Martial realm, so he had naturally undergone martial soul awakening.
However, seeing this martial soul, Lin Feng couldn't help but wipe cold sweat inwardly. As the father, he was somewhat embarrassed to release his own martial soul!
