Chapter 2445: Actions of All Sides
Lin Feng walked out of the starry sky world, his gaze deep and profound as he fell into a terrifying state of calm. Since the Void Divine Temple had used the Heaven Sealing Chart to seal the city, it was entirely possible that Supreme Realm experts would make a move. This time, his surprise attack on the Leng Clan had indeed been careless. He had underestimated the Void Divine Temple and the Flame Temple, causing Mo Yu, Hou Qinglin, and the others to fall into danger, and he had also exposed himself.
Of course, Lin Feng had also underestimated the determination of the temples to deal with him.
"Now that Dayu City is sealed, Supreme Realm experts could descend upon the city at any moment. I need as much time as possible right now," Lin Feng thought to himself. Although Supreme Realm experts could use their divine consciousness to communicate with the heavens and the earth, Dayu City was vast. Even if a Supreme Realm expert wanted to sweep it clean, it would take time. As long as he kept a low profile and hid in the blind spots of their divine consciousness, he could buy time.
"The most dangerous place is the blind spot," Lin Feng mused. His body and appearance shifted as he stepped forward, transforming into a streak of light that vanished without a trace.
Dayu City was sealed. The temple experts teleported from the temples were now scouring the entire city. Even if they couldn't find Lin Feng, capturing and killing the others from the Fate Temple would be a consolation. Since they had already made a move, they might as well take the entire city. Supreme Realm experts disdained such tasks; if not for Lin Feng, they probably wouldn't have bothered to request the intervention of Supreme Realm elders.
It was well known that Supreme Realm experts were the treasures of every temple. Each temple had only a few Supreme Realm figures, extremely rare. Their status was transcendent; even the temple masters couldn't directly command them and had to treat them with great respect.
At that moment, Green Lotus Commander and the others were engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy forces, constantly being pursued. The fighting was brutal. Mo Yu and the others had also joined the fray in this stretch of void.
"Retreat! They have reinforcements of experts. We can't fight a prolonged battle," Green Lotus Commander shouted to the Fate Temple members. The others fought while retreating, but the enemy clung to them, stalling for time. One of Mo Yu's opponents was doing exactly that—not rushing to end the fight, but sticking close to Mo Yu to prevent him from leaving.
"Mo Yu, seal!" At that moment, a voice came from afar, startling Mo Yu. It was Lin Feng's voice.
Nodding, Mo Yu activated his mind. The starry sky seal appeared. The enemy expert's expression froze as he turned around, only to see a brilliant sword cleave through the sky. A soft tearing sound rang out, and before the man could react, he was slain. He had thought the sword hadn't reached him yet—that was his last thought.
"Lin Feng, why did you come back?" Mo Yu dissolved the seal, his expression grim. This place was already being watched; Lin Feng shouldn't have shown himself.
"Lin Feng will leave on a flying boat. I need you to do something for me," the disguised Lin Feng transmitted his voice to Mo Yu. Mo Yu listened and nodded repeatedly, replying, "Alright, I'll do it. I hope we can fool them."
Moments later, the pursuing experts from the Flame Temple and Void Divine Temple spotted Lin Feng's figure. Lin Feng was riding a leaf-shaped flying boat, tearing through the air at incredible speed. The boat was undoubtedly a powerful Sacred King weapon, extremely fast. Many immediately gave chase in Lin Feng's direction. Their orders were clear: kill Lin Feng, above all else.
Of course, some stayed behind to hold off the Fate Temple members. While Mo Yu was fighting, he suddenly tossed out a Sacred King weapon and said to his opponent, "That Sacred King weapon is ownerless, and it's a mid-grade Sacred King weapon. If you keep chasing me, it might end up in someone else's hands."
With that, Mo Yu retreated. The man's expression flickered as his divine consciousness swept over the Sacred King weapon. His eyes narrowed—it was indeed a mid-grade Sacred King weapon. The temptation was considerable.
This woman was willing to abandon everything to escape, even tossing away a mid-grade Sacred King weapon to buy a chance at survival.
"A mid-grade Sacred King weapon—worth it," Li Xiao thought to himself. Killing Mo Yu wouldn't bring him much personal benefit, but gaining a mid-grade Sacred King weapon would directly enhance his combat power. The choice was clear. At his level, he would always choose what was most advantageous for himself.
Li Xiao quickly grabbed the Sacred King weapon that had shot through the air. It was incredibly sharp—a sword, ownerless, with a colored glaze light on the scabbard. A faint smile curled at the corner of Li Xiao's mouth. With a thought, he stored the Sacred King weapon in his storage ring. When he looked up again, Mo Yu was gone. But Li Xiao no longer cared.
The sealing of Dayu City had naturally reached the Fate Temple. At that moment, in a stretch of void, a group of Fate Temple experts rode a cloud, seemingly traveling through space and time at an unimaginable speed. Their destination was not Dayu City.
The temples dominated the Nine Heavens with profound foundations, the supreme rulers of the realm. Apart from the temples, only a few forces in the Tai Yao Realm and some extremely hidden existences could rival them. However, they would never allow another temple to emerge. Otherwise, the temples would unite against it. They were the overlords and didn't want anyone else to reach that position. Their arrogance stemmed from three reasons.
First, their deep foundations meant every temple had the most Saint Realm experts.
Second, the pinnacle experts—Supreme Realm figures. Every temple had at least three or more Supreme Realm experts, the foundation of their dominance over the Nine Heavens.
Third, divine weapons surpassing Supreme Sacred King weapons. For example, the Void Divine Temple's Heaven Sealing Chart. This wasn't unique to the Void Divine Temple; in fact, every temple possessed such a divine weapon. The Fate Temple had one too. These factors had maintained a balance among the temples for years, with no one daring to reveal their trump cards and trigger an ultimate war. Once their foundations were depleted, other forces would seek to replace them.
The temples maneuvered cautiously, but the forbidden existence had ignited the chaos. Now, perhaps because of the forbidden existence, the super war within the chaos would begin early. The Fate Temple experts were heading toward the Void Divine Temple. Since the Void Divine Temple had deployed the Heaven Sealing Chart, the Fate Temple would not be polite. They would make the Void Divine Temple understand what it meant to face their divine weapon without the Heaven Sealing Chart.
On the Fate Temple's route to the Void Divine Temple, Flame Temple experts had already gathered in Dayu City. Qiong Fan, an elder of the Flame Temple who hadn't left seclusion for many years, had also arrived. After enjoying countless years of peaceful life, this elder hadn't lost his edge. Standing on the ground, his pressure made those around him feel an urge to prostrate themselves in worship.
The man before them was a transcendent Supreme Realm figure, a Supreme Saint King, almost the pinnacle of power in the Nine Heavens. Apart from the elusive divine throne, he was the strongest combat force.
"Great Accomplishment is easy, Supreme is hard." This was a saying among Great Accomplishment Saint Kings. Of course, it would be wrong to apply it to all realms. Was Great Accomplishment easy? Minor Accomplishment Saint Kings would curse at the thought. But with each level, they realized the next was harder. For Great Accomplishment Saint Kings, the saying was accurate. There might be many Great Accomplishment Saint Kings in the Nine Heavens, but the number of Supreme Saint Kings could be counted on one hand, even including those in hiding.
Qiong Fan's body rose into the air. Standing in the void, he was like the master of all living beings. His gaze swept across, and countless people in Dayu City felt a powerful divine consciousness sweep over them, unbridled and invasive. Yet they kept their heads down and moved on, not daring to show any resentment.
Many also looked up at Qiong Fan standing in the sky, sighing inwardly. What a terrifying figure. Why had they come to Dayu City, deploying the Heaven Sealing Chart and such a fearsome existence? Who were they after?
The divine consciousness swept quickly, but Dayu City was too vast. Even with his speed, it couldn't be done in a short time.
"The Fate Temple people have been found. Send someone," Qiong Fan said indifferently. Images appeared in the void, showing Green Lotus Saint King and his group. The message was sent out. Their people continued to pursue the Fate Temple members, while Qiong Fan ignored them. His target was Lin Feng.
The sky grew scorching hot. The crowd felt as if the void above was no longer the same—there was an eye watching them. It was an uncomfortable feeling, but the people of Dayu City knew what was happening and dared not speak out.
"No one!" A cold gleam flashed in Qiong Fan's eyes. A figure stepped forward to his side and asked, "Elder, have you searched the entire city?"
"Yes, including the mountains, rivers, and deserts. I've searched them all. There's no trace of his aura. Only one place blocked my divine consciousness," Qiong Fan said. The man's expression tightened. He knew where Qiong Fan was referring to. That terrifying supreme being who had appeared from nowhere—one of the reasons they wanted to take Dayu City was to deal with that existence.
"What do we do?" the Great Accomplishment Saint King asked. With the chaos now unfolding, even they were reluctant to offend an existence of that level!
