# Chapter 2496: Ten Thousand Transformations
"Scram!" The Demon King was being madly devoured of his power, and he roared furiously. In an instant, the entire hall shattered and collapsed completely. The people of the Demon Divine Palace looked over in this direction, their eyes filled with terror.
Both Chu Chunqiu and Lin Feng's bodies were sent flying backward. Lin Feng held the Fate Scepter in front of him, feeling his heart tremble. The Demon King remained on his throne, and the figure of Demon Saint Emperor Xi flickered in and out of visibility, his aura terrifyingly vast, as if borrowing the Demon King's power.
"Kill!" He shouted loudly, and in an instant, rolling music seemed to fill the air. Eighteen demon heads appeared in the sky, all of them terrifying existences. At the same time, Demon Saint Emperor Xi's hand trembled, and a heaven-overpowering aura burst forth, violently slamming into Lin Feng and Chu Chunqiu.
"Roar!" Chu Chunqiu roared, tilting his head back and inhaling, feeling immensely exhilarated.
"Such powerful strength. I didn't expect that even a sleeping Demon King could give me such formidable power. No wonder you're so formidable even as just the Demon King's shadow." Chu Chunqiu stared at the Demon King. Suddenly, his body moved—not toward the Demon King, but toward Lin Feng. In that moment, Lin Feng felt a terrifying devouring vortex enveloping him, directly pulling at his spiritual will, trying to swallow him whole.
"Time... freeze!" Lin Feng spat out a cold word, and time seemed to come to a complete halt. Chu Chunqiu's heaven-defying heart was unshakably firm, impossible to move. He had no gods, no buddhas, no immortals, no demons—he dared to do anything. In the past, he had stepped into the Saint realm by defying the Heavenly Dao. If he continued to grow, he would become another Demon King.
Demon Saint Emperor Xi's aura fluctuated. Lin Feng's half-divine strike and Chu Chunqiu's heaven-defying devouring power had been incredibly fierce. Even borrowing the Demon King's power, he had been severely injured. If he hadn't possessed the Demon King's body, he would probably be dead by now.
However, regardless, this was clearly not a place to stay. Lin Feng stepped through the void, instantly shooting into the sky. The flow of time around him accelerated rapidly, making his speed as fast as lightning.
When the flow of time returned to normal, Lin Feng's figure was already far in the distance. Demon Saint Emperor Xi's expression froze. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to possess such strength; it was beyond his expectations. It seemed that Lin Feng had come with him this time with ill intentions from the start.
"The throne of the royal court will be mine sooner or later." Chu Chunqiu said coldly, then his figure also soared into the sky. The demon heads wanted to pursue, but Emperor Xi waved his hand, and they dissipated like smoke.
"Cough, cough!" Emperor Xi coughed, his figure separating from the Demon King's body. His eyes were sharp as blades, and blood actually trickled from the corner of his mouth.
"Lin Feng, Chu Chunqiu, you're both seeking death." Emperor Xi looked up at the sky, his gaze piercing. The demon clouds in the sky seemed to churn violently.
After this departure, Lin Feng once again vanished without a trace, as if he had disappeared from the Nine Heavens. He knew that too many people were now searching for his whereabouts.
Not only had Lin Feng disappeared, but even those related to him seemed to have vanished. The three great hegemon forces were searching for him and his friends, but they couldn't find any trace. Even Lin Feng's close friends from the lower realm couldn't be found. The Nine Heavens were so vast that even if you had heaven-defying power, if the other party concealed their identity and traveled through mountains and rivers, how could you find them?
On this day, Lin Feng's figure was walking among the mountains and rivers, strolling leisurely, comprehending heaven and earth, ignoring worldly affairs.
On this day, a hundred years had passed since he left the Demon Divine Palace. This made him understand that if he didn't perfect his inner world, going out again would be futile.
On this day, at the Supreme Divine Palace where Ice Fire Supreme resided, countless experts gathered. Before a palace hall, Ice Fire Supreme personally taught the Dao. Below sat many experts, including several hall masters. But at that moment, in the sky above, wind and clouds changed, and a terrifying air current whistled past.
"Boom!" Heaven and earth shook violently. Then, in the sky above, a figure appeared, startling everyone. Their pupils contracted.
"Lin Feng!" Ice Fire Supreme revealed a sharp expression, sneering coldly: "Since you've appeared, I'll grant you death."
With that, Ice Fire Supreme's body soared into the sky. Yin and Yang Qi shot out, blasting toward Lin Feng. The terrifying power of Yin-Yang creation contained infinite force. However, Lin Feng waved his hand, then opened his mouth and inhaled, directly swallowing the Yin and Yang Qi. He then roared, freezing heaven and earth. His body soared into the sky, seemingly about to leave.
"Do you think you can escape?" Ice Fire Supreme snorted coldly, his body shooting into the sky at an inconceivable speed. Suddenly, a massive Yin-Yang sky appeared in the heavens, covering everything. Lin Feng's expression stiffened as he charged into it, madly devouring the power of Yin and Yang Qi, but it seemed useless. The Yin-Yang creation sky pressed down, and Lin Feng was directly annihilated.
"Not the real body?" Ice Fire Supreme's expression froze. This Lin Feng was just an external incarnation, yet it possessed such combat power.
"Ice Fire Supreme, from today onward, every three days, I will come to fight you. You'd better never leave this Ice Fire Divine Palace." A rolling voice echoed through the void, causing Ice Fire Supreme's expression to stiffen. There was no one there, only the voice. Where was Lin Feng's real body?
At this moment, Lin Feng's real body was an immeasurable distance away, controlling everything. Lin Feng sat cross-legged, sinking into his own world. He opened his mouth and spat out Yin and Yang Qi, which drifted into the void.
"Lin Feng, the divine ability technique you've created is unparalleled. You can seize Yin and Yang Qi from an endless distance to your real body." Old Ox praised this scene, deeply shocked.
"This is the work of the Heavenly Dao Fate Art, supplemented by the power of True Illusion Void. Even if my real body doesn't appear, aside from the three Supremes and a few hidden old monsters, I can roam freely through the Nine Heavens." Lin Feng said calmly. The Yin and Yang Qi drifted into the sky, then slowly merged into the damaged heavens, having the effect of mending the sky.
"This is too slow. You still need to comprehend Yin and Yang Qi yourself to truly perfect your world." Old Ox said slowly. Lin Feng nodded slightly—this was indeed the case.
In the following days, every three days, Lin Feng would appear at the Ice Fire Divine Palace to fight Ice Fire Supreme. Ice Fire Supreme was extremely frustrated. Later, he simply ignored it and sent his subordinates to fight. However, Lin Feng killed a Supreme Realm expert, forcing Ice Fire Supreme to personally intervene every time. As time passed, Ice Fire Supreme vaguely sensed something—if this continued, he wouldn't be able to cultivate in peace.
This phenomenon caused many people who were hunting Lin Feng and his relatives to stop, not daring to act recklessly anymore. Lin Feng's external incarnation now possessed infinite power, repeatedly challenging Ice Fire Supreme. If he wanted to kill them, they would likely suffer terribly. This prodigy was too terrifying. When his real body appeared, no one knew what would happen.
In the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed. The Nine Heavens continued to search for Lin Feng but couldn't find him. The Tai Yao Realm was in chaos. Ice Fire Supreme led his forces together with the Peng Clan to attack the Dragon Clan, forcing the Dragon Clan members to leave Dragon Valley and flee through the Nine Heavens, suffering heavy casualties.
At the same time, a new generation of hall masters took over the Nether Divine Palace, known as the God of Death. He was none other than the Nether Divine Palace genius who had appeared in the Nine Heavens many years ago—Mo Zheng. He had comprehended some divine abilities and techniques that spanned past and present, walking through the Nine Heavens as if he wanted to dominate them. People secretly sighed that this generation had an extraordinary number of monstrous prodigies. Those who surpassed the former hall masters of the divine palaces had already appeared, including Ice Fire Supreme and several others. They could probably all be called half-divine.
The Nine Heavens continued to be in turmoil. Experts from various domains constantly fought, but many people mysteriously disappeared, reportedly devoured. The devourer was none other than the former rebel of the Fate Divine Palace—Chu Chunqiu.
This situation of widespread fear made many people begin to miss the balanced Nine Heavens of the past. Back then, the various divine palaces controlled the Nine Heavens in a state of balance, not encroaching on each other. The Nine Heavens revered them, and everything was peaceful. But now, everything had completely changed.
Perhaps everyone was waiting—waiting for the descent of the divine throne, waiting for the person who would unify the Nine Heavens to appear, and then bring the Nine Heavens back to peace.
Time continued to flow. On this day, Chu Chunqiu went to the Buddha Divine Palace. With his peerless posture, he wanted to devour all the buddhas and become the supreme sovereign. However, the power of the buddhas was incredibly formidable. Kong Ming, a former disciple of the Fate Divine Palace, stepped forward. With his buddha-demon body, borrowing the power of all the buddhas and demons in the Buddha Divine Palace, he defeated Chu Chunqiu. After this battle, Kong Ming's name shook the Nine Heavens. The next day, news spread that Kong Ming had inherited the position of hall master of the Buddha Divine Palace. The previous generation's hall master of the Buddha Divine Palace had abdicated.
The hall masters of the various divine palaces who had once ruled the Nine Heavens seemed to be stepping down from their divine thrones one after another, replaced by later generations.
People sighed with emotion. Kong Ming's buddha-demon body had actually become a great buddha. News said that in his previous life, Kong Ming had been a great ancient buddha. However, later, because of a woman, he couldn't distinguish between buddha and demon, so he immediately became a demon. At the same time, using the Buddha Gate's Great Relic Art, he reincarnated and cultivated the buddha path again, eventually becoming the current buddha-demon body. It seemed he had walked the path that the legendary Three Lives had once walked, and he had succeeded. It was said that only after he truly comprehended everything thoroughly did the Buddha Divine Palace's hall master abdicate to him.
