# Chapter 676: Sword Light That Pierces the Heavens
Many people began to recall the beginning of the Snow Domain Grand Competition. Back then, Lin Feng was at the Fifth Layer of Profound Martial Realm, without any terrifying Sword Dao Will, and almost no one noticed this unknown little figure. It was only when Yu Mo pursued him in the Fallen Demon Domain that people occasionally remembered this person.
Many thought Lin Feng would be eliminated sooner or later, but this miraculous young man brought them different shocks every time, step by step advancing until now, at this moment, with the cultivation power of the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm, the fifth layer of Sword Dao Will, holding the Blood Sword to injure Imperial Mausoleum. And when Imperial Mausoleum used Heaven's Blood to unleash his terrifying strength, Lin Feng's cultivation directly leaped from the Seventh Layer of Profound Martial Realm into the Eighth Layer.
With Lin Feng at the center, the endless blood-colored sword light tore through space, as if to suffocate everyone. This was the real Lin Feng. Killing Yu Mo, severing Ling Xiao's arm, defeating Blood Fiend—none of these were his true strength. Now, at the moment of ultimate confrontation, he fully bloomed his terrifying power, making everyone tremble and shudder.
Especially those familiar with Lin Feng trembled from body to soul. The Yu family, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the Tian Feng Kingdom, the Yue family, and also Blood Fiend and Ling Xiao—they all stared fixedly at Lin Feng on the battle platform. Terrifying. At this moment, Lin Feng was too fearsome. His ambition had become to be the strongest genius of this Snow Domain Grand Competition, shining glory across the Snow Domain.
With Lin Feng's current strength, defeating Ninth Layer Profound Martial Realm experts was effortless. Destroying their Yu family, destroying the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect—all were easy tasks. How could they not feel suffocated?
Now, the Yu family and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect felt a chill from the depths of their hearts. They had previously thought that if they allowed Lin Feng to grow, he would become a future disaster. But they never dreamed that "future" would arrive so quickly.
Now, if Lin Feng returned to Snow Moon, destroying the Yu family and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would be effortless. Moreover, given Lin Feng's personality, he would truly do it. They had not forgotten how the Snow Moon Holy Academy was annihilated. Their enmity with Lin Feng was not a matter of one or two days. They had tried many times to kill Lin Feng without success. Now that Lin Feng possessed formidable strength, would he let them off?
Yue Qingshan's eyes twitched, his white hair seeming even whiter, the vicissitudes on his face growing deeper. A monster! He had painstakingly cultivated Yue Tianming, making him talented. Yet, his carefully nurtured Yue Tianming, before Lin Feng, didn't even have the qualification to display his own strength. And now, that youth who came from a small family in Yangzhou City was standing at the peak of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, contending with Imperial Mausoleum, contending with Duan Wudao!
Imperial Mausoleum's gaze fixed on Lin Feng, whose cultivation had broken through the Seventh Layer and entered the Eighth Layer of Profound Martial Realm. That domineering Heaven's Will grew stronger and stronger, those tyrannical eyes not daring to be looked at directly.
"Eighth Layer of Profound Martial Realm, good, very good."
Imperial Mausoleum's bloodline power went wild, his Martial Soul Will blooming as if the heavens themselves were shaking. His hands trembled, and the power of heaven and earth served him. Heaven's Will pressed down toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng held the Blood Drinking Sword, dragging the longsword, taking slow steps, advancing forward. On the ground, blood-like sword marks appeared. The rampant Sword Dao Will tore through space. Even Heaven's Will could not suppress him, shattered into pieces by the sword energy.
The sword—it destroys everything, it alone is supreme.
The crowd stared at Lin Feng. With his slow steps, the longsword seemingly casually resting on the ground actually caused a thin crack to appear on the battle platform. Wherever Lin Feng passed, the ground split open.
"Boom!" Imperial Mausoleum also stepped forward. All the terrifying Heaven's Might converged, shrouding down toward Lin Feng, as if to imprison Lin Feng within a cage of heaven.
"Boom!" Another step forward, and the ground shook violently again. Even more terrifying true essence power and Heaven's Will descended from the sky, pressing down on Lin Feng, as if to crush his body, as if heaven and earth were about to collapse.
"Such terrifying momentum."
The crowd's hearts trembled violently. Too fearsome. Not to mention Lin Feng under Imperial Mausoleum's attack, even those far away felt a terrible Heaven's Might pressing down on their heads, making them feel suffocated.
Of course, Lin Feng's sword was equally strong. The terrifying Sword Dao Will seemed to tear through the heavens.
"Will this be decided by a single strike?"
Watching Imperial Mausoleum and Lin Feng slowly step toward each other, both were gathering momentum, gathering the power of their peak for one strike. This heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating strike would likely determine the outcome of this battle.
The pressing Heaven's Power grew stronger and stronger. The crowd felt a breath of heaven and earth about to perish, the sky pressing downward.
And Lin Feng was walking into that terrifying Heaven's Power. His figure seemed to grow farther and farther away. That thin, straight back was upright and sharp. With each slight footstep, the crowd suddenly experienced an illusion—they could no longer see Lin Feng.
There, Lin Feng no longer existed. There was no Lin Feng, only a sword.
Man and sword as one, man and heaven as one. Lin Feng had disappeared. Only a blood-like sword remained, blooming with its own radiance.
When the breath of annihilation spread, the heavens pressed down toward the ground, causing those endless sword lights to vanish. But in that distant place, a trace of blood-colored light gradually brightened, then grew brighter and brighter until it was dazzling. A blood-colored radiance shot up into the sky ten thousand meters high, cutting through the heavens.
There was no sound of explosion, no piercing howl. Only a breath of annihilation and that fleeting, sky-piercing blood light. At the moment that blood light bloomed, they actually felt a sense of approaching doom, as if they were about to die, destroyed by this blood light.
When everything returned to calm, two figures stood very quietly on the battle platform. Imperial Mausoleum did not move, his gaze still fixed. Lin Feng held the Blood Drinking Sword, the sword resting on the ground, the tip touching the earth, equally silent. Both were so calm that it made people feel suffocated.
"Is it over?" They hadn't even seen what had just happened.
"This battle, who won, who lost?"
They only knew that the momentum of that instant was too terrifying, as if it would destroy them.
A clear wind blew across the crowd's faces. The entire space was silent without a single sound, so quiet that a falling needle could be heard.
"Drip!"
A soft sound rang out. In the silent space, it was clearly captured by the crowd. Following the faint sound, they looked over, and then their hearts trembled once more.
At Imperial Mausoleum's feet, a drop of fresh red liquid fell to the ground. Though it was so small, it deeply shook the crowd's hearts.
Imperial Mausoleum was injured again.
"Drip, drip..."
Drops of blood continuously fell, still at Imperial Mausoleum's feet. Then the crowd saw a flash of blood-colored light. Lin Feng also moved, but he was sheathing the Blood Drinking Sword back into its scabbard.
"The ant in your eyes seems capable of shaking the heavens as well." A calm voice came from Lin Feng's mouth, very peaceful, but it made the crowd's hearts tremble. Victory. This battle was truly won by Lin Feng.
Lin Feng had defeated Imperial Mausoleum!!!
A surge of true essence power circulated through his body, as if to stop the injury. Imperial Mausoleum's body slowly turned around, once again walking back to his position and sitting cross-legged, not saying a single word. Imperial Mausoleum's action undoubtedly verified Lin Feng's words. Imperial Mausoleum had been defeated.
Looking at that young figure on the battle platform, they felt a sense of unreality. Lin Feng had actually defeated Imperial Mausoleum, which meant that the current Lin Feng was not the third place they had predicted, but one of the top two. Moreover, Lin Feng might even contend with Duan Wudao for the first place in the Snow Domain Grand Competition.
A dark horse, a dark horse that fought all the way to the end. Until the final battle, no one knew what position Lin Feng would truly occupy in the Snow Domain Grand Competition.
The crowd suddenly recalled Lin Feng's ranking jade key—it was the first jade key. Before, they thought it was Lin Feng's luck. But now it seemed, was Lin Feng obtaining the first ranking jade key in the second round of the Snow Domain Grand Competition merely a matter of luck?
At this moment, Lin Feng was standing on the highest battle platform of the Snow Domain Grand Competition, welcoming the most glorious battle!
