Chapter 820: Heavenly Demon Joins the Battle
The Jade Emperor Palace appeared only for an instant. The moment it cracked the earth, the palace vanished once more, transforming back into a pulsating heart.
Looking at the ground now, cracks crisscrossed the land, and many corpses lay scattered across the surface. In that single moment, they had been crushed and flattened by the palace, suppressed and killed alive.
Trying to escape? Could Lin Feng possibly let them go?
Forced by all the sect forces and facing a life-and-death crisis, he had to make the others from Heavenly Lake leave while he stayed behind to deal with these people. Moreover, he had no choice but to use the Jade Emperor Palace. Since the palace had appeared in the world, everyone who knew about it had to be crushed and killed—there was no other possibility. If these people did not die, then he would have to die.
A sovereign's palace was under his control. No one knew how many treasures lay within. This alone would stir up a hurricane in the Qian Domain, causing an uproar. Lin Feng was certain that once the news spread, all the venerables from every sect would appear, hunting him down to seize the Jade Emperor Heart from his body.
Even entering this secret realm, the venerables had taken it seriously, but only because the sovereign's tomb was too elusive. Over the centuries, a few groups had set foot inside, yet the sovereign's tomb had never appeared. Thus, the venerables had not come to oversee this place. But precisely this time, the sovereign's tomb had emerged—a breathtaking palace.
Once the secret leaked, he would end up like the Jade Emperor, chased with no path to the heavens and no door into the earth.
Everyone who knew the secret had to die.
"Boom!" A terrifying sword aura shot into the sky. It was the strongman from the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, who had not died. He burst out from underground. At almost the same time, an illusory shadow flickered unsteadily, casting a cold glance at Lin Feng with intense killing intent. Fortunately, their reactions were extremely fast. In that incredibly brief moment, they had shattered the ground and plunged deep into the earth. But even so, the dreadful tremors had churned their internal organs, nearly shaking them to death.
"We can't kill you, but you can't kill us either. No matter how great your talent, once the news of you obtaining the Jade Emperor Palace spreads, you'll die without a burial place," the strongman from the Nine Heavens Sword Sect spat blood as he spoke coldly. Sword aura raged around him, tearing open the ground as he prepared to flee through the earth at any moment. If Lin Feng made a move, they would immediately dive back underground.
"Can't kill you?" Lin Feng sneered coldly. He opened his left palm, and within it appeared a snow tower. From within the tower, a terrifying demonic aura radiated, as if it were a demon tower.
The Snow Demon Tower continuously expanded, hovering in the void. From inside came terrifying roars and howls that made the eardrums of the two strongmen below tremble.
Lin Feng—did he still have hidden trump cards?
The two were almost driven mad by Lin Feng. This damned bastard! They were clearly powerful Heavenly Martial Realm cultivators, far stronger than Lin Feng. Yet Lin Feng had been toying with them, playing them, blasting them into severe injury and making them spit blood continuously. And now, it seemed Lin Feng still had more tricks up his sleeve.
"Roar!" A shocking, tearing roar echoed out. The heavens seemed to tremble, and the earth rumbled as if about to collapse. In the void, two terrifying demonic beasts appeared, both enormous. One was a demonic roc, its black wings spread wide, flapping slowly. Its cold, sinister gaze inspired deep fear.
This demonic roc was a powerful Heavenly Demon.
Not far from the roc, the other beast that had roared and made the heavens and earth tremble, causing air currents to roll violently, was a violent bear. Its body seemed filled with boundless power, as if it could tear apart even a Heavenly Martial Realm strongman with its bare hands.
Such terrifying demonic beasts! Lin Feng actually controlled such fearsome creatures?
The roc and the violent bear both fixed their enormous, icy eyes on Lin Feng. The breath they exhaled made the air currents in the space churn.
"Kill those two," Lin Feng said to the roc and the violent bear.
These two demonic beasts were Heavenly Demons, fully capable of communicating with humans. Yet they seemed not to have heard him. Their massive eyes simply stared fixedly at Lin Feng, as if they wanted to devour him.
When the mistress commanded them, they dared not utter a single complaint and obediently followed orders. But Lin Feng—a human who had not even reached the Heavenly Martial Realm—dared to command them, to order them around arrogantly. Even though they were gifts from the mistress to Lin Feng.
"Kill those two," Lin Feng's eyes turned icy cold as he stared at the two demonic beasts. His gaze was proud and unyielding, his voice carrying an unmistakable tone of authority, as if the two beasts must follow his orders or face his wrath.
"Huff..." The violent bear exhaled a stream of air from its massive nostrils, its eyes still fixed on Lin Feng. Lin Feng met their gaze, his own growing colder and colder.
"Fine," the roc finally uttered a single word, conceding to Lin Feng. Now, their freedom was completely in Lin Feng's hands. The mistress had sealed them into the Snow Demon Tower and given the tower to Lin Feng. If Lin Feng wished, he could imprison them forever within the tower—a result they clearly did not want to see.
Turning its gaze away, the roc no longer looked at Lin Feng but fixed its eyes on the strongman from the Carefree Sect. Its wings flapped, and a furious gale howled, incredibly fierce.
"Run!" The strongmen from the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and the Carefree Sect felt the wild demonic aura rushing toward them and truly panicked. Their bodies turned into streaks of light, fleeing in two different directions at an unbelievable speed.
Especially the strongman from the Carefree Sect. He pulled a shadow over a thousand meters long in the void, as if his entire body had become that shadow. It seemed to follow a special rhythm and trajectory, appearing particularly carefree and elegant.
"Whoosh!" The wind howled furiously, violently shaking the Carefree Sect strongman's body. Fast—he was already fast enough. But the demonic roc was a flying Heavenly Demon. Speed was its innate divine ability. How fast could it be? It was unimaginable. Even though the Carefree Sect strongman was already swift, he was still caught up to.
"Screech!" Golden, gleaming claws were dazzling, like countless swords stabbing through the air toward the Carefree Sect strongman. The roc had struck with its claw imprint.
"Roar!" The Carefree Sect strongman went berserk, frantically accelerating. But no matter how fast he went, he could not outpace the roc. The terrifying claws pressed down from above his head. By the time he tried to defend, it was too late. He was powerless. With a loud cracking sound, his head was crushed by the roc's claws, killing him instantly.
On the other side, the terrifying Heavenly Demon violent bear was far slower than the roc, not even matching the speed of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect strongman. But its strength was overwhelming. As it roared, its heavy footsteps rumbled across the void, making the heavens tremble. This terrifying tremor trapped the Nine Heavens Sword Sect strongman in an endless, powerful fluctuation, slowing him down and preventing him from fleeing at full speed.
The dreadful demonic aura closed in. The heavens and earth shook incessantly. Terrifying waves continuously slammed into his body. The Nine Heavens Sword Sect strongman suddenly turned around, his expression cold as he stared at the violent bear. A peerless sword aura radiated across the heavens and earth. Since he could not escape, he might as well stop running.
"Kill!" He thrust his sword. The heavens and earth turned to nothingness. That strike seemed like a stroke of divine inspiration, aimed directly at the bear demon's body, as if the distance between them had been instantly crossed.
"Roar!" The violent bear raised its head and howled at the sky, letting out a furious roar. Its massive paw swung out fiercely. With a crisp cracking sound, the sword thrust by the Nine Heavens Sword Sect strongman was shattered by the boundless, overwhelming force. The swordsman's face instantly lost all color.
What kind of terrifying power did the bear demon's palm contain, that it could be so strong as to directly shatter a sword?
Before he could think further, the boundless bear paw pressed down with a rumbling, shocking wave. His expression changed drastically as he tried to transform into a sword and flee.
"Roar!" The bear demon opened its massive maw and roared wildly. The heavens and earth trembled violently. The Nine Heavens Sword Sect strongman's body froze for an instant. In that brief moment, the bear demon's paw struck out directly, smashing the Heavenly Martial Realm strongman to death.
How terrifying was the power contained in that single palm strike? It was beyond imagination!
