Chapter 514: Destructive Collision
"Whoosh..."
A wisp of wind drifted through the air once more, and Lin Feng's body vanished. The moment he disappeared, the thunder-fire orb held in Feng Chen's hands blasted forward again, wreaking havoc through the space.
"Swish!"
The demonic wings trembled slightly, and Feng Chen vanished as well, pursuing Lin Feng with incredible speed. With his Heavenly Wind Demon Wings, he was even faster than Dapeng Gongzi. Lin Feng's speed was far inferior to Feng Chen's; if not for his terrifyingly sharp senses and his comprehension of the wind, Lin Feng wouldn't have been able to dodge even once.
Lin Feng's speed was instantaneous, like the wind itself.
Another flicker, and Lin Feng's body evaded the attack. The terrifying destructive thunder-fire light streaked past him, tearing his robes apart. If he kept dodging like this, Feng Chen would hit him within a few more exchanges. The time gap between their flickers was already shrinking rapidly.
Lin Feng was well aware of this. Endless purple light began to surge and roar, transforming into countless tendrils that spread outward.
"Die!"
A demonic light flashed in Feng Chen's eyes as his body once again blasted toward Lin Feng. The endless purple tendrils all shot out, lunging at Feng Chen.
A sneer curled at the corner of Feng Chen's mouth. He raised his head, and beneath the thunder-fire, all the purple tendrils were obliterated and incinerated, not even a trace of ash remaining—as if they had never existed. Moreover, following those tendrils, Feng Chen continued his assault on Lin Feng.
"Crackle, crackle..."
A crisp sound rang out. On Lin Feng's body, a killing sword light that could tear through space slashed forward—silent, deadly, and oppressive.
"Crunch."
The thunder-fire light collided with the sword light, erupting into a dazzling flash. Then the crowd saw the killing sword light being destroyed within the thunder-fire, vanishing without a trace. The Slaughter Sword still could not withstand the thunder-fire.
"This Feng Chen is much stronger than the Second Envoy. The Second Envoy's lightning was powerful, but Feng Chen's thunder-fire is even more formidable, and his speed is something the Second Envoy couldn't compare to."
The crowd thought to themselves. It seemed things were not looking good for Lin Feng. If this continued, he would likely be killed by Feng Chen.
But Lin Feng didn't seem anxious. His dark pupils remained coldly fixed on Feng Chen, without the slightest hint of discouragement. Feng Chen was three realms stronger than him; such a battle situation wasn't too surprising, only serving to ignite the fighting spirit within him.
After obliterating the sword light, Feng Chen stopped this time. He didn't rush to attack again but instead stared at Lin Feng with a cold smirk.
"So, how do you feel now?"
Feng Chen's demonic gaze held a light of contempt. Lin Feng's talent was formidable—able to fight against the Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm with his Third Layer of Profound Martial Realm—but facing him, Lin Feng was still doomed to die.
"A Sixth Layer of Profound Martial Realm cultivator, dealing with someone at the Third Layer like me, and you can be so smug about it. I really don't know if I should feel ashamed for you. Tian Feng Kingdom has no one worthy."
Lin Feng said coldly. From his body, a terrifying battle intent and killing aura erupted wildly, as if about to ignite.
Feeling this killing battle intent, the crowd's hearts trembled. Lin Feng was indeed far beyond ordinary people. No wonder he had achieved what he had today—unyielding, unbending. No matter how strong you are, I am not afraid; there is only battle.
Feng Chen's gaze turned sinister. Although he held the absolute upper hand, a Sixth Layer cultivator dealing with someone merely at the Third Layer should have been an instant kill, effortless. He truly had no right to be proud or boastful. This wasn't even a battle on the same level, yet he was taking pride in it. Of course, this was also because Lin Feng's strength was too great, causing everyone to subconsciously ignore his actual cultivation level and only consider his formidable combat power.
"Prepare to die."
Feng Chen said coldly. The thunder-fire held in his hands slowly began to merge together. Terrifying dark thunder-fire light flashed wildly, and streaks of dark thunder-fire appeared in the void, tearing through space and flickering incessantly, making it feel as if the entire world was about to be destroyed.
An extremely terrifying destructive thunder-fire orb took shape in the void. Feng Chen's palms kneaded this dreadful orb, his demonic pupils fixed on Lin Feng, the killing intent so thick.
Feng Chen didn't intend to give Lin Feng any chance. Once he caught up to Lin Feng and imprinted this thunder-fire orb into his body, it would take only an instant to annihilate him, turning Lin Feng to ashes. Then, who would dare say Tian Feng Kingdom had no one? Would Ruo Lanshan still look down on their people from Tian Feng and allow Lin Feng to run wild?
Ruo Lanshan's indulgence toward Lin Feng had left Feng Chen with a stifling rage in his heart. This rage had to be vented. That was why he wasn't fighting Lin Feng slowly but instead using his most powerful method to destroy him in one blow, letting Ruo Lanshan see his strength.
Lin Feng stared at the destructive orb, naturally sensing the terrifying power contained within.
"Haah..."
Letting out a long breath, a surge of frenzied true essence flames erupted from Lin Feng's body—true essence fire, solar fire, illuminating the space.
This terrifying flame gathered madly, converging in front of Lin Feng. A dark lotus slowly took shape. Lin Feng held nothing back, releasing almost all of his solar true essence to transform it into a Nether Lotus—deep and dark, silent and deadly.
The crowd's hearts trembled. Lin Feng was enraged too, pouring all his true essence into the black lotus, draining it nearly dry, all to counter Feng Chen's thunder-fire orb.
The black lotus Lin Feng condensed was the opposite of the destructive orb—silent, oppressive, without releasing its terrifying destructive force outward. But no one doubted its dreadful power of destruction.
Feng Chen also stared at the forming black lotus. He was momentarily stunned, then a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"This is your strongest move, isn't it? In that case, let me destroy it, so you can die with no regrets."
Feng Chen sneered. He didn't believe that the black lotus formed from Lin Feng's true essence could be stronger than his thunder-fire. His cultivation level was so much higher than Lin Feng's; the density of his true essence was far beyond what Lin Feng could match.
"Go die!"
Feng Chen roared in anger, flickering toward Lin Feng with unimaginable speed.
"Wind!"
Lin Feng's gaze was cold. His body moved slightly, drifting like the wind, heading upward instead of colliding with Feng Chen. The crowd was taken aback—Lin Feng still wasn't fighting.
A banner appeared—Lin Feng's Soul Banner. He offered it up, fluttering under the sun.
Raising the Nether Black Lotus in his hand, Lin Feng focused his mind. The terrifying flames within the Soul Banner surged wildly toward the Nether Black Lotus in his hand. Lin Feng was borrowing the flames from the Sun Soul Banner.
In the void, the sun shone down, imprinting itself on the sun pattern of the Soul Banner, covering it with solar fire light. That flame descended through the void, landing on Lin Feng, dazzling and brilliant. The sun, the Soul Banner, and Lin Feng seemed to connect as one.
"What a terrifying Lin Feng. I wonder what cultivation technique he practices, to be able to directly borrow the power of the sun."
The crowd was secretly shocked. Lin Feng wasn't avoiding battle; he was preparing to face Feng Chen in his ultimate state. He could still become stronger.
Looking up, Feng Chen stared at Lin Feng in the void, a demonic light flashing in his eyes. The characters on his forehead also shimmered with a peculiar luster.
"Lin Feng, die!"
With another furious roar, Feng Chen's speed reached its limit. He shot upward, arriving in an instant.
"Kill!"
This time, Lin Feng finally did not evade. His body inverted, hanging upside down in the void. Terrifying killing aura surged downward, rolling violently. The entire space was filled with slaughter, along with sword energy tearing through the void.
"Boom!"
With a low, muffled explosion, the crowd felt as if their bodies had been shaken. The dazzling thunder-fire light and the silent Nether Lotus finally collided. Terrifying dark thunder-fire light went wild, covering a thousand meters around them with black thunder-fire, flickering endlessly. Feng Chen and Lin Feng's bodies were both enveloped within.
"Crackle, crackle, crackle..."
A piercing, shrill sound rang out. The thunder-fire orb and the dark lotus penetrated each other, each tearing at and destroying the other. The terrifying destructive force continued to rage wildly through the space.
"Terrifying, too terrifying."
Both the destructive thunder-fire light and the Nether Lotus were so powerful, each seeping into the other. Neither could instantly destroy the other. They didn't explode all at once in the space but instead continuously released destructive light. The crowd on the ground all flickered backward, retreating into the distance. Wherever the dreadful destructive force passed, the space emitted crackling sounds, and the ground was torn apart, leaving gaping cracks—a shocking sight.
