# Chapter 2085: Demon Domain Declaration

Lin Feng had briefly crossed blows with the Heavenly Soul Saint from a bygone era before. In the ruins, on the sacrificial altar, the one who called himself an Ancient Saint had used his soul power to hunt down the Lin Feng of those days. Now, that Ancient Saint had likely found a physical body, and it was this very person before him. Otherwise, if the Qin Imperial Dynasty had possessed such a formidable figure from the beginning, they would not have kept him hidden.

The supreme soul sacrifice flame, the saintly attack power—clearly, this person wielded methods of a Saint. The Qin Imperial Dynasty did not possess such means, and from this, it could be determined that this person was very likely that Ancient Saint.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, countless gazes fixed upon the Heavenly Soul Saint, their eyes sharp. Was this person an ancient who had not died?

Among the crowd present, aside from those few Saint Emperor figures, no one knew the truth. That was why they were shocked, especially since the Heavenly Soul Saint had just attempted to seize Lin Feng's body. This made them suspect that Lin Feng's words were entirely possible. After all, no matter how strong another person's body was, it could never be as perfectly compatible as a body that had grown step by step with oneself. Therefore, martial artists almost never seized another's body unless their physical body was destroyed, except for those who practiced extremely bizarre techniques. The person before them was clearly a very formidable figure, yet he had abandoned his own body to seize Lin Feng's. This showed that he had no attachment to his original body at all. Thus, it was very likely that he himself was a body-snatcher.

"I don't know what you're talking about." The Heavenly Soul Ancient Saint naturally would not admit it. He stared coldly at Lin Feng, not expecting that after his rebirth, there would be someone who could contend with him at the same realm. It seemed he had not yet fully stabilized his power. Otherwise, wielding the might of an Ancient Saint, who could rival him? How could the supreme sacrifice soul flame fail to extinguish Lin Feng's soul power?

"Back in the ancient ruins, you tried to seize my body. Now, hidden by Qin Qian in the Qin Imperial Dynasty, given a body for your rebirth, you still refuse to give up. Senior Heavenly Soul Ancient Saint, for the sake of my body, you truly stop at nothing." Lin Feng said coldly. With his current strength, he had still faced a tremendous threat, because he was confronting an existence at the Ancient Saint level. Such a person, upon rebirth, should have been invincible at the same realm. However, perhaps due to the limitations of the body—since it was not a body that had grown with him, it could not be perfectly compatible, and even if he wanted to gradually recover, it would take time.

"I'll spare your life for now." The Heavenly Soul Saint stared at Lin Feng. This person's strength was indeed formidable. To completely obliterate him, he would likely need to make his soul and body blood more compatible, re-merge his martial soul into his bloodline, and then use his martial soul to ignite the supreme sacrifice soul flame. Only then could he burn and kill Lin Feng's soul, seize his soul imprint, and occupy Lin Feng's body.

Having said this, the Heavenly Soul Saint directly stepped down from the Qi Tian Battle Platform. The collision with Lin Feng had consumed a terrifying amount of his energy, making it inconvenient to continue the battle. As an Ancient Saint, he would eventually sweep through Qi Tian Holy Capital. Moreover, his current goal was not to contend with the young prodigies of the Demon Domain, but to increase his strength and prepare for the Nine Heavens Gathering. He believed these Demon Domain individuals harbored the same purpose.

Lin Feng did not pursue the Heavenly Soul Saint. Since that was an Ancient Saint, it was impossible for him to kill the opponent now. A Saint's rebirth gave Lin Feng a sense of urgent crisis. The other party's progress would likely be very fast from now on. That was a former Saint King; his memories were a treasure trove.

At this moment, Lin Feng nodded at Wu Jue and smiled. "Why did you help me?"

"Did I help you?" Wu Jue looked at Lin Feng, indifferent. This made Lin Feng smile and say nothing more. This was an interesting person, and also a battle-lover.

Lin Feng then looked at Yao Qi and said lightly, "It seems you still can't do it."

After speaking, Lin Feng also stepped down from the Qi Tian Battle Platform. Like the Heavenly Soul Saint, he was now very uncomfortable. That sacrifice soul flame had dealt him a great injury, its power terrifying.

"All of you, come back." The strong expert from the Demon Domain said calmly. Immediately, the three young prodigies of the Demon Domain all stepped off the Qi Tian Battle Platform. Their figures flickered as they returned to where the Demon Domain group was positioned.

"Several thousand years have passed. Although Qi Tian Holy Capital still has its geniuses, for such a vast city, with its imperial dynasties, ancient saint clans, and numerous academies, the top figures have withered to this extent. It is truly disappointing." That Demon Domain expert still sat there calmly. Although Lin Feng and the other two's strength surprised him somewhat, Qi Tian Holy Capital was, after all, one of the three Heavenly Lord Cities of the Qingxiao Land. Having a few top geniuses was normal. Besides, wasn't that person from the Qin Imperial Dynasty possibly a reborn Ancient Saint?

Hearing the Demon Domain expert's words, the crowd was speechless. The Demon Domain had made a powerful comeback, returning to Qi Tian Holy Capital. Today's battle was likely the Demon Domain's way of making their voice heard: the Demon Domain had returned.

"Boom!" At this moment, a fierce wind arose, and then everyone saw a young prodigy of the Demon Domain standing proudly in the void. The First Young Prodigy, an Emperor realm figure.

This person swept his gaze over the strong experts of Qi Tian Holy Capital, then his palm suddenly trembled. Boundless demonic qi surged into the sky. Demon kings roared. In the void, demon dragons coiled, demon qilins galloped past, demon phoenixes bloomed with endless splendor, and ancient turtles spat out clouds. The world revered only me. When the four demons passed by, they left behind two huge ancient characters in the void, which were none other than "Demon Domain."

Then, this First Young Prodigy looked around at everyone and said lightly, "From today onward, the Demon Domain will open up the area centered around Demon Mountain. Extending three thousand li in each of the four cardinal directions—east, south, west, and north—human martial artists are not allowed to set foot there. From now on, that will be the territory of our Demon Imperial Dynasty. Today, the Demon Domain returns to Qi Tian Holy Capital."

Having said this, he stepped back to his original position, causing countless hearts to tremble slightly. This First Young Prodigy was at the Emperor realm, terrifyingly powerful. His combat strength was likely no less than that of the Snow Clan's King Body figure, Xue Ao, who had once descended upon Qi Tian Holy Capital. Very fearsome.

Lin Feng, back at the Holy Spirit Dynasty, looked at the huge "Demon Domain" characters in the void. A ripple stirred in his heart. The Demon Domain had reappeared, an Ancient Saint had been reborn, and the competition for the First Lord of Qingxiao was fierce. It seemed that the Qing Xiao Continent was about to see turbulent times.

Lin Feng did not realize that, unconsciously, he had already begun to think on the stage of the Qing Xiao Continent. As he continued to grow, in those years of unnoticed growth, his stage had changed from a small world to the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, then to traveling through the great world, then to the Heavenly Lord City of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, then to two of the three Heavenly Lord Cities—Holy City Central Continent and Qi Tian Holy Capital—and now, he seemed to be heading toward the entire Qing Xiao Continent.

This was absolutely unimaginable many years ago. For instance, Hu Yue beside Lin Feng at this moment dared not imagine that things would happen so quickly, that Lin Feng would stand at such a height, crossing blows with top Martial Emperor figures.

Hu Yue clearly understood one truth: crossing blows with peak Martial Emperor figures and contending with top Martial Emperor figures were worlds apart. The former could be done by too many people, while the latter—in the endless Qing Xiao Continent—perhaps only a select few could stand at that height. This meant that their future heights would be immeasurable.

At this moment, the strong experts of the Demon Domain all stood up. Without saying a word, they directly stepped forward. The void rolled, and that powerful demonic qi gradually faded away, soon disappearing from everyone's sight.

"The Demon Domain has declared their return. From today onward, the Demon Domain will likely become one of the most terrifying forces in Qi Tian Holy Capital, perhaps even the most terrifying." The crowd thought to themselves. Today, everyone had seen the Demon Domain's strength. After being dormant for several thousand years, they had made a powerful comeback, with Demon Mountain as the center, extending three thousand li in all directions.

"Everyone, go back." Qin Qian stood up and said lightly. The crowd remained silent. In today's battle, the Demon Domain had shown its might, while their imperial dynasties had lost face, with only three people holding the line.

"Lin Feng."

At this moment, a rolling voice came from the direction of the Gu Yao Imperial Dynasty. "Where is my Gu Yao Holy Maiden?"

"After her romantic escapades, the Holy Maiden may not want to return to the Gu Yao Imperial Dynasty to be a Holy Maiden anymore. If you ask me where she went, how would I know?" Lin Feng left the Gu Yao Imperial Dynasty speechless with his words. Would the Gu Yao Imperial Dynasty have to choose a new Holy Maiden?

The Gu Yao Imperial Dynasty could do nothing about Lin Feng.

The crowd gradually left the Qi Tian Battle Platform area. That ancient battle platform still hung in the void, having witnessed countless historic battles. Today's battle was just one in the long river of history.

However, in the following days, a wave swept through Qi Tian Holy Capital. The Demon Domain now called itself the Demon Imperial Dynasty externally, seemingly intent on suppressing all the imperial dynasties. At the same time, they expanded three thousand li in all directions, killing any humans who trespassed.

Furthermore, countless demon beasts from the Demon Domain set foot in Qi Tian Holy Capital, becoming active in this ancient Heavenly Lord City. Overnight, their figures could be seen everywhere. Some figures from the Demon Imperial Dynasty were extremely domineering, arrogant, and self-centered, disregarding others. The demon race naturally carried a fierce and evil temperament.

And on this day when the Demon Domain was running rampant, outside the Holy Spirit Dynasty, Lin Feng welcomed a group of guests. These people were none other than the strong experts of the Heavenly Terrace: Hou Qinglin, Tian Chi, Ruoxie, Tantai, Great Pest, and others. They had all arrived. Not only them, but also many figures from the Heavenly Terrace, including some who had joined later. The brothers of the Heavenly Terrace had all descended. Lin Feng naturally welcomed them personally and was quite pleased.

"Holy Prince." Walking through the imperial dynasty, when people saw Lin Feng, they would all slightly bow, their eyes showing a hint of reverence. This was the Holy Prince Lin Feng. That day, the thirteen young prodigies of the Demon Imperial Dynasty had been arrogant and unrivalled, but only their Holy Prince Lin Feng and two others could contend with them. In their eyes, Lin Feng's status was transcendent.

Lin Feng would nod slightly to each of them. Seeing this, Tantai grinned and said, "Lin Feng, it seems your status in this ancient dynasty is quite high."

"My relationship with the Holy Spirit Dynasty is not shallow. But you all, why have you suddenly come to Qi Tian Holy Capital?" Lin Feng asked everyone.

"At this stage, we can't stay still anymore. Many brothers of the Heavenly Terrace are now high-rank Emperors. We hope to travel through the Qing Xiao Continent and see if anyone can break through to the Emperor realm." Hou Qinglin said calmly. Lin Feng nodded slightly. It was good for them to go out and experience more extraordinary prodigies and strong experts!

PS: I owe two chapters from Valentine's Day, plus eight from the previous four days, making ten in total. I'll make up for them by taking one day each this week and next week to catch up. So everyone, don't urge me every day. It's not like I can release ten chapters with a burst of kingly aura—it takes time to write!
