# Chapter 819: The Might of the Palace

"Hmph, no matter what nonsense you speak, you will die without a doubt." The crowd stared at Lin Feng, their killing intent growing stronger and stronger. They were indeed tempted, but to obtain the Jade Emperor Heart, they had to kill Lin Feng. If Lin Feng did not die, how could they control the Jade Emperor Heart and obtain the Jade Emperor Palace?

"I know. The question is, will you kill me first, or seize the Jade Emperor Heart first?" A faint smile appeared on Lin Feng's face as he held the Jade Emperor Heart in his palm, then fiercely threw it out: "You can choose to kill me first, but by then the Jade Emperor Heart will no longer belong to you. You would be working for another's benefit."

"Jade Emperor Heart!" The pupils of the crowd trembled violently. They stepped forward, all of them pouncing toward the Jade Emperor Heart.

In this world where the strong are revered, joining a major sect or power was all for the sake of becoming stronger. And now, the opportunity for power was right before their eyes. Obtaining the Jade Emperor Palace would allow them to surpass the strongest experts of their sects and become lofty figures. Who would still care about their sect?

Those who had entered the Jade Emperor Hall had hastily made the decision to leave them outside, but they had overlooked human nature.

"Boom!"

"Get out of my way!" Terrifying auras erupted. Those Heavenly Martial Realm experts began a fierce battle. Violent winds and huge waves surged, space howled, and the ground collapsed. Everyone was fighting for only one thing — the Jade Emperor Heart.

At this moment, Lin Feng stood there leisurely, calmly watching the fierce battle of the crowd, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Lin Feng did not even try to leave, the crowd became even more determined to seize the Jade Emperor Heart. Obtain the Jade Emperor Heart, then kill Lin Feng — the Jade Emperor Palace would be theirs.

Duan Wuya stood at the other end, far from Lin Feng. He too had not left, staring at the battle of those Heavenly Martial Realm experts. Lin Feng had indeed matured far too much. He understood schemes and knew how to use tactics. Combined with his terrifying talent, he was becoming increasingly dangerous.

A cold, sharp glare shot toward Duan Wuya, making him feel a chill all over. This icy coldness carried a bone-piercing killing intent. Duan Wuya knew how much Lin Feng wanted to kill him. Of course, he would not give Lin Feng the chance. Wanting him dead was not that easy.

"Die!" An icy cold shout rolled forth. A hand directly pierced into the body of a Heavenly Martial Realm expert. Blood burst forth. One Heavenly Martial Realm expert died. Yet the Jade Emperor Heart still lay on the ground.

"You go kill too."

A sharp sword, carrying a terrifying sword cry, directly stabbed into that person's back. After killing him, the sword instantly trembled, tearing the opponent's body apart. His body spun, and he turned to slash out a sword beam, directly cutting into a terrifying palm force, splitting the palm imprint apart.

"The Jade Emperor Heart is mine!" A voice rang out. A figure stepped with marvelous footwork, heading toward the Jade Emperor Heart on the ground at an inconceivably fast speed.

"Someone from the Carefree Sect." The crowd was slightly startled. The sword-wielding man's long sword roared angrily, emitting a sword hum. A void sword stabbed out, piercing through space, arriving in an instant.

"Whoosh!" The figure trembled. The Carefree Sect man's body transformed into dozens of figures, each one seeming like a true body, containing infinite mysteries.

"Chi, chi..." Terrifying sword qi directly obliterated several figures. But the other afterimages continued heading toward the Jade Emperor Heart on the ground.

"Stay!" A rumbling sound rang out. A terrifying palm imprint blasted toward the ground. This enormous palm imprint seemed to transform into a great mountain, pressing down with a boom. Several more afterimages were instantly suppressed and shattered. But then a shadow flashed by. The Jade Emperor Heart on the ground vanished in an instant. A residual shadow swept past. The Carefree Sect man who had seized the Jade Emperor Heart pulled out a series of afterimages, whistling toward Lin Feng.

The Jade Emperor Heart was in hand. Now, only by killing Lin Feng could the Jade Emperor Heart be possessed and controlled by him.

"Such fast speed." Lin Feng watched the Carefree Sect man charging toward him, his expression unchanged. But in his heart, he was shocked by the power of this footwork technique. Truly carefree steps — elusive and unpredictable, yet as fast as lightning. That series of afterimages seemed both illusory and real.

"Kill!" An ethereal palm force blasted toward Lin Feng. The space hummed. This palm force seemed to make space tremble and shake. Suddenly, the attack power surged, intending to kill Lin Feng with one palm.

"Boom!" The Jade Emperor Heart suddenly transformed into a palace, instantly descending there. The Carefree Sect expert who had grabbed the Jade Emperor Heart was directly blasted to who knows where. The others who had been chasing him were also sent flying.

Lin Feng's mind moved again. The Jade Emperor Heart once again became a heart, beating with a thumping sound in the void.

Lin Feng's figure flashed, catching the heart in his palm. Looking at the figures in the distance who were spitting blood from the shock, a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You people are truly foolish."

He had thrown the Jade Emperor Heart out. If those people had chosen to kill him, they might have worked for another's benefit, with the Jade Emperor Heart being taken by someone else. Therefore, everyone had simultaneously chosen to seize the Jade Emperor Heart first, then kill him, Lin Feng. Unfortunately, they seemed to have forgotten that Lin Feng now had absolute control over the Jade Emperor Heart. What use was it if they seized it?

With a single thought from Lin Feng, the Jade Emperor Heart transformed into a vast palace, directly blasting them to who knows where.

The crowd got up from the ground, extremely disheveled. Their figures flickered as they once again arrived not far from Lin Feng, their expressions ugly.

Lin Feng was toying with them, as if playing a game.

They suddenly realized one thing — with the Jade Emperor Heart in Lin Feng's hands, he could at any time make it transform into a palace and blast them away. In that case, they simply could not kill Lin Feng.

No wonder Lin Feng was not afraid of them at all. Because Lin Feng had already thought of this, playing with them.

"Figured it out?" Lin Feng looked at their ugly expressions and smiled: "Still want the Jade Emperor Heart?"

"Let's join forces and kill him." Those Heavenly Martial Realm experts exchanged glances, all understanding each other's meaning. Now, only by first killing Lin Feng could they possibly seize the Jade Emperor Heart.

"Kill!"

"Kill! Kill!" Rolling angry shouts rang out. Though they were a thousand meters apart, Lin Feng could still feel the terrifying killing intent. Sword light, dazzling and brilliant, seemed to cross the thousand-meter distance in an instant.

The Carefree Sect expert was even faster, beyond measure. In the void, he pulled out a series of illusory afterimages, as if all of them were him.

"Boom!" A terrifying collision sound rang out. Overwhelming pressure descended. In that extremely brief moment, they had almost reached Lin Feng. But in an instant, they were blasted back again, crashing heavily to the ground. The faster they moved, the harder they fell.

Looking at Lin Feng again, he had not moved at all, only calmly watching the blood-spitting figures in the distance. Ignorant.

"Continue?"

Lin Feng remained as calm as ever, without a single ripple. Looking at those disheveled figures getting up from the ground, his mouth was cold and mocking. Yes, he was indeed playing with them, thoroughly and completely. The Jade Emperor Hall in his hand was itself an extremely powerful treasure — a palace. With the palace in hand, who could kill him?

Those Heavenly Martial Realm experts who got up had expressions as ugly as could be. Any Heavenly Martial Realm expert being toyed with like this would feel anger and shame, wishing they could tear Lin Feng into a thousand pieces.

"You will die without a doubt." The crowd exchanged glances, all understanding each other's meaning. They could not kill Lin Feng. They would return to report to the experts of their sects. Once the news spread, Lin Feng would surely die. He would be hunted until he had no path to heaven. Even with the Heavenly Lake, they could not protect Lin Feng.

"Let's go." Those people rose into the air, preparing to leave.

Lin Feng swept his cold eyes over these people, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Go? You tried to kill me but failed, and now you want to leave?"

He stamped his foot on the ground, his body rising into the air. Lin Feng stepped forward, swift and fierce, his whole body radiating strong killing intent: "No one can leave. All of you, leave your lives behind."

As he spoke, Lin Feng's body transformed into a fierce wind, sweeping forward. In an instant, he arrived above those Heavenly Martial Realm experts. Then, he fiercely threw the Jade Emperor Heart out. With a thought from his mind, boundless imperial qi burst forth. Accompanied by an incomparably loud rumbling boom, the Jade Emperor Palace directly crushed down upon the ground. The earth trembled violently. A palace descending from the heavens — how terrifying was its force? It was unimaginable. The entire ground was covered with countless crisscrossing cracks.
