Chapter 827: Death Valley
Two hours later, Lin Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. He could sense the direction of the demon sword, but there was no way to know how far away it actually was. Riding on the Heavenly Demon Great Roc, flickering through the void, after two hours, he still hadn’t seen a trace of the demon sword. In that brief moment, the demon sword had torn through who knew how much space and time, traveling to an unimaginably distant place.
Moreover, he noticed that the terrain he was traversing was becoming increasingly desolate. There were no signs of human habitation, and it was eerily quiet. If the Dragon General caught up, everything would be completely exposed, with nowhere to hide.
However, the demon sword had torn away from his body and departed, no longer eroding his will. This was a huge benefit to him. The Demon Sealing Stele no longer needed to suppress the demon sword and could be used by him, unleashing its terrifying power. Just like before, it had suppressed the Dragon General, allowing him to slay him on the spot, shocking everyone.
This was still the first time Lin Feng had killed such a terrifyingly powerful opponent. Although he was at the peak of the Mysterious Martial Realm, slaying a high-level Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator was an absolutely earth-shattering feat. However, that was also because the demon general had been careless and underestimated him, giving him the opportunity. If the opponent had gone all out from the start, Lin Feng doubted he could have killed him with his Mysterious Martial Realm power, even with his heavy treasures.
Therefore, no matter what, Lin Feng had to retrieve the demon sword. Although the demonic nature of the sword was too terrifying, to him, it was a true heavy treasure. It would be a great pity to lose it. Later, when he could suppress the sword’s erosion and unleash its power, the effect would be shocking.
Without pausing his forward movement, Lin Feng continued to ride the Heavenly Demon Great Roc, flying towards the location of the demon sword’s aura.
After another long while, Lin Feng arrived at a desolate plain. For a thousand miles, it was empty. Looking down from the void, everything was completely exposed. But Lin Feng’s forward pace stopped. He halted, his gaze fixed on the figure blocking his path ahead. A Dragon General stood proudly in the void, holding a dragon spear. His expression was cold, and the long spear in his hand seemed to radiate an arrogant momentum, rolling towards Lin Feng with a terrifying killing intent.
“Persistent as a ghost.” A cold voice spat from Lin Feng’s mouth. On his body, a similarly terrifying aura of slaughter was released, but it seemed much weaker in the face of the opponent’s oppressive presence. After all, the gap in their cultivation levels was too great.
“What treasure did you use to ambush and kill the Purple-Gold Dragon General?” The Dragon General’s face was cold as he spoke to Lin Feng.
“Why don’t you try it and find out?” Lin Feng replied coldly.
The Dragon General snorted. The long spear in his hand trembled, and instantly, a terrifying whirlpool appeared at the spear tip, forming a dreadful black hole. The world’s energy in that space seemed to be completely devoured by the terrifying vortex.
“This time, you won’t be so lucky.” The Dragon General took a step forward. Lin Feng immediately felt a fierce wind rise, and terrifying cracks lashed against his body, as if they would tear him apart.
The spear thrust forward, and waves of terrifying whirlpools burst from the spear tip, tearing everything apart. Space itself seemed to be shredded.
Wind Will, Tear!
The Heavenly Demon Great Roc retreated. Lin Feng’s mind moved, and the Demon Sealing Stele appeared, fiercely striking towards the terrifying tearing hurricane. A loud rumbling sound erupted. In front of the Demon Sealing Stele, waves of terrifying whirlpools appeared, all torn apart by the hurricane, but the Demon Sealing Stele remained unmoved, like a mountain.
“Demon Sealing Stele. I didn’t expect you to have such a treasure. No wonder the Purple-Gold Dragon General was ambushed and killed by you.” The Dragon General instantly recognized the Demon Sealing Stele and spoke coldly. He took another step, and the whirlwind roared. Waves of terrifying tornadoes swept in all directions. The Dragon General’s body merged into the Wind Will, becoming a wind shadow, elusive and unpredictable.
This all-pervading wind swept around the Demon Sealing Stele from all directions, rolling towards Lin Feng, buzzing, incredibly fast.
“Come back!” Lin Feng roared. The Demon Sealing Stele rumbled and reversed course, but the tearing wind had already reached Lin Feng, impossible to block.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a terrifying, majestic aura released a dreadful pressure. It was as if waves of imperial energy shot into the sky, shining with boundless light. But it disappeared in an instant. The Dragon General’s body, merged with the wind, was directly blasted away. Because of his speed, he was thrown even further. His mind went blank, and he shook his head dazedly.
But at that moment, an immeasurably vast power appeared from above his head. As he looked up, he saw Lin Feng hurling a heart towards him. A terrifying rumbling sound echoed, and the boundless might of heaven and earth descended once more. The Dragon General’s eyes trembled violently, staring at the vast palace that blotted out the sky. Lin Feng, he controlled a palace?
“Boom!” The palace crashed down on him, blasting the Dragon General into a state of utter confusion. But the sky-covering palace vanished instantly. Lin Feng’s steps crossed to directly above him, carrying a terrifying stele that pressed down. The stele was filled with endless suppressing power. The surrounding space seemed to freeze at that moment, completely suppressed.
“Boom!”
Struck for the third time by such a violent attack, the Dragon General was stunned into a daze. This time was the most direct. The terrifying suppressing force stunned him into a brief stupor. A dreadful destructive force jolted him awake. Before he could react, a palm of annihilation that refined everything destroyed the space. Then, a miserable scream echoed through the air. His head was instantly incinerated. His body still trembled, but soon, it too was refined into nothingness in the flames.
“This man cultivated the Speed Will, making him the fastest. He intercepted me ahead, but the aura of the Jade Emperor Palace just now will definitely attract the others. I must find the demon sword quickly.” Lin Feng thought to himself. It was only because this desolate place had only this one opponent that he dared to take the risk, using such thunderous means to suppress and kill him. Without the Jade Emperor Palace, he couldn’t have killed him.
The Great Roc stirred up a whirlwind. Lin Feng stepped onto its back and continued forward. Sure enough, not long after they left, the two Dragon Generals and the demon flood dragons arrived. But there was no trace of Lin Feng.
“The Wind-Slayer Dragon General has also been killed. There’s a terrifying imperial aura. It’s very likely an imperial treasure. Even if we catch up, we must be careful.” One of the Dragon Generals said coldly. The two men and four demon flood dragons surged forward again, pursuing Lin Feng. The four demon flood dragons were all extremely powerful, with terrifying speed, even faster than the Heavenly Demon Great Roc, because their level was higher.
Now, in front of Lin Feng, the endless plain was finally no more. Instead, a valley appeared. But this valley exuded a deathly stillness. Occasionally, terrifying roars could be heard. This made Lin Feng stop in the void, staring at the valley.
The aura of the demon sword was inside this valley. After leaving him, it had flown straight into this valley.
“Go.” Lin Feng said. The Heavenly Demon Great Roc continued forward. Moments later, they entered the valley. But soon, Lin Feng stopped again.
Before him was a patch of overgrown weeds. But there, a stone tablet was embedded, revealing two characters: Death!
Lin Feng waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept up, blowing the weeds down. The two characters below were revealed, making Lin Feng’s heart tremble involuntarily.
“Death Valley!”
He had actually arrived at Death Valley. He had heard of the name Death Valley before, and from Jun Moxi, no less. Before entering the secret realm, Jun Moxi had told him that in Death Valley, there was an incomparably huge Demon Sealing Stele, suppressing a terrifying demon lord. No one dared to enter the valley. To enter meant certain death.
Yet, the demon sword had torn through space and come to Death Valley. And he, following the demon sword, had come as well.
“Boom, boom…” A sound came from behind. Lin Feng turned his head and saw the four demon flood dragons carrying the two Dragon Generals, surging forward. But they stopped far outside the valley, not daring to approach the stone tablet. Their faces darkened.
Death Valley. Of all the places Lin Feng could have gone, he had to come to Death Valley. Was he trying to seek his own death?
In the Qian Domain, Death Valley was a forbidden land. No one dared to step inside. Many powerful cultivators had tried to explore the legendary suppressed demon lord, but none had ever returned. They had all died inside the valley, never coming out again.
