Chapter 2481: A Thought
The Void Hall Master's attack tore through the vast void itself, as if shattering it into fragments, and in an instant, it surged before Lin Feng.
"Time!" Lin Feng thought, activating dual time manipulation—accelerating his own time flow while slowing the external flow. At the same time, his long spear protected his body, forming a terrifying vortex that devoured everything. In an instant, all the incoming streams of attack light were swallowed onto the spear, even carrying away the opponent's attack.
The Void Hall Master's expression tightened slightly at the sight. Such an attack could be devoured?
With a tremor of his step, the Void Hall Master pulled and grasped with his palm, causing heaven and earth to collapse and bury everything. Lin Feng felt as if the space he occupied had been severed from this world, directly separated and isolated.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng sensed that the space around him had been split apart, drifting through the void toward the Void Hall Master.
"What kind of sacred technique is this?" Lin Feng's pupils contracted. His opponent, as a Hall Master of a divine temple, was indeed extraordinarily powerful.
The Void Hall Master strode forward, his expression cold and murderous, as if Lin Feng were already a dead man in his eyes.
"Perish!" he shouted coldly. The void collapsed and buried everything, and the space Lin Feng occupied was about to shatter and be utterly destroyed.
But at that moment, Lin Feng thrust his spear into the space. Suddenly, it pierced through the void, and then Lin Feng's body itself tore through that space, lunging straight at the Void Hall Master. This scene caused the Void Hall Master's face to freeze instantly, revealing an expression of utter shock. How could this man break through the void?
A subtle aura enveloped his body. The Void Hall Master seemed to sense something, and then he saw a spear thrusting toward him, its speed seemingly reaching its peak, aiming to pierce through his head.
"Whoosh!" Void light flickered, and his body seemed about to vanish into nothingness. Yet he felt his own fading speed had slowed significantly, causing his pupils to contract.
"Boom!" A terrifying shockwave, carrying a penetrating force, slammed into his body, leaving the Void Hall Master stiff. He had actually been struck by a suddenly appearing strongman from the Heavenly Punishment Alliance.
"Get lost!" He guided with his palm, and the void seemed to shift direction. Lin Feng's spear moved with the wind, and a tearing sound rang out. The spear, at its extreme speed, stabbed right beside the Void Hall Master's head, as if piercing through space itself. Then, the Void Hall Master's figure vanished without a trace.
The next moment, his body appeared in another space, staring coldly at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stepped forward, standing before the strongmen of the three alliances, holding his spear with pride. The battle around them was extremely brutal, with both sides having lost a Supreme Realm strongman. This meant that three Supreme Realm experts had already fallen today—a major event even for the Nine Heavens.
"Retreat," the Void Hall Master said. Immediately, the strongmen of the Void Divine Temple and the Thunder Divine Temple simultaneously withdrew. Today, the number of strongmen they had brought was fewer than that of the three alliances. They had relied solely on the two Hall Masters and two super-sacred artifacts to suppress these scattered alliances. But they hadn't expected the three alliance leaders to be so formidable. Although the Thunder Hall Master held the advantage, Emperor Xi was overwhelmingly domineering, preventing the Thunder Hall Master from crushing and killing his opponent.
And while the Void Hall Master could seal many strongmen with the Heaven Sealing Chart, he couldn't kill Purple Bamboo and Heavenly Punishment alone. This battle could not continue.
"Retreating?" Lin Feng's pupils turned cold. Suddenly, his time flow reached its peak, and he charged toward one of the retreating enemies. That person felt a strange power enveloping him, stiffening his expression. He turned back to see a spear breaking through the air, incredibly powerful.
"Freeze!"
After the Void Hall Master put away the Heaven Sealing Chart, Purple Bamboo appeared, and time froze. The person in front of Lin Feng seemed to come to a halt. With a tearing sound, Lin Feng's spear easily pierced into his body. A terrifying devouring vortex appeared instantly, swallowing even the opponent's spiritual will into the spear. Then, the opponent's body was destroyed, his soul scattered.
"Remember this," the Void Hall Master roared in anger.
But Purple Bamboo laughed, "You came to kill us and ended up fleeing. Why are you still so arrogant?"
The Thunder Hall Master stood in the void, wielding his Heaven-Shaking Divine Thunder Hammer. With a thunderous crash, he slammed it down. Terrifying rumbling sounds echoed as the sky hung with countless destructive divine thunders, bombarding downward.
"Retreat!" Purple Bamboo shouted. At the same time, he, Lin Feng, and Emperor Xi all surged forward. The Thunder Hall Master's expression stiffened, and then he stepped back, chasing after the others, saying, "Until we meet again."
Lin Feng thrust his spear toward a strand of divine thunder light in the sky, staring coldly at the retreating figures. Today, they had killed three Supreme Realm strongmen—a glorious achievement.
Others were dodging or resisting the relentless divine thunder strikes. Some were hit and lost arms, all lamenting the terror of the super-sacred artifacts. But compared to the divine temples, the losses of the three alliances were clearly smaller.
"Roar!" A howl rang out as the strongmen of the three alliances stepped forward, their expressions excited. Today, they had driven back the alliance of two divine temples, which included two Hall Masters and two super-sacred artifacts.
"The three alliance leaders have shown their might today. From now on, let's see if those divine temples dare to look down on us," a cheerful voice rang out. This battle would surely spread across the Nine Heavens, shaking the entire Nine Heavens Celestial Court.
"As long as we are united, we will one day stand as equals to the divine temples, at the highest point of the Nine Heavens," Purple Bamboo said, smiling at the crowd. Then he added, "Since this Tianxue City is the site of our fame, why don't we three alliances settle here? What do you two think?"
"No," Lin Feng flatly rejected Purple Bamboo's suggestion, causing Purple Bamboo to look at him and ask, "Heavenly Punishment, do you have a better idea?"
"This battle is enough to make us famous across the Nine Heavens. But it's not enough. The Void Divine Temple alliance is not just these two temples. If we station ourselves in Tianxue City, and the seven divine temple alliances attack together, it will be a disaster for us," Lin Feng said.
"Indeed. Heavenly Punishment, what do you think we should do now?" Purple Bamboo asked with a smile. Lin Feng's performance in the battle had clearly earned recognition—he was truly formidable.
"Take the initiative. Strike at the seven divine temple alliances. At least, cripple them. They've already lost three Supreme Realm figures—that's a disaster for them. If we can deliver another heavy blow, we can truly stand tall in the Nine Heavens and secure our place," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"The seven divine temple alliances have formed an iron pact. They have teleportation arrays between their temples. There's no way we can launch an active strike against them," Purple Bamboo said curiously.
"What if we ally with the Fate Temple alliance? Could we then deliver a heavy blow?" Lin Feng said, sparking thoughts among the crowd. The Fate Temple alliance had four factions. As for their three alliances, after today's battle, seeing the strength of the three leaders, they were now comparable to three divine temples. The only difficulty was that the seven divine temples possessed seven super-sacred artifacts. If they attacked together, it would be a disaster for the three alliances.
"We need to carefully consider whether this is feasible," someone suggested.
"Yes, this is no small matter," Lin Feng nodded. "For now, let's station ourselves in Tianxue City. At the same time, spread the news. The Fate Temple alliance will keep an eye on the divine temples for us, easing our worries."
"Alright. Let's do that. Let's go," the group reached a consensus and then dispersed. But the results of this battle were enough to excite them.
Moreover, news of this battle quickly spread across the Nine Heavens, shaking the entire realm. A third superpower was beginning to form, rising in the Nine Heavens Celestial Court. This great chaotic war was becoming more and more thrilling. Everyone eagerly awaited the direction of the Nine Heavens' situation—how this chaotic era would end, and whether it would, like before, engulf the entire Nine Heavens world.
