# Chapter 836: Qian Domain Turmoil
Lin Feng's foot suddenly stepped forward, walking through the void. As he unfolded the Carefree Step Art, his entire body turned into a series of afterimages, utterly carefree, soaring through the sky above.
"Buzz!" That flock of crow-like demon beasts sealed off the sky completely, pressing toward Lin Feng and forming a terrifying net of death from which there was no escape.
The Jade Emperor Heart appeared in Lin Feng's hand. He hurled it fiercely into the void, and instantly a terrifying imperial aura burst forth, scattering the deathly energy. The dreadful palace suppressed the horde of demons, blasting them apart.
Lin Feng held the vast Jade Emperor Palace in his hand, charging upward and breaking a path. Then the palace transformed back into a heart and disappeared, while Lin Feng's body turned into a shadow. He pushed the Carefree Step Art to its limit, frantically rushing toward the outer edge of the Death Valley.
"Buzz, buzz..."
"Roar!"
Waves of terrifying death energy surged toward him. This time, Lin Feng truly witnessed the horror of Death Valley. Many enormous demon beasts exuded an irresistible aura of death. Before the beasts even reached him, he could feel the vitality in his body withering, as if he were about to die.
He plucked a Demon Bodhi from the Demon Bodhi Tree and immediately swallowed one whole. Instantly, a terrifying force coursed through Lin Feng's body. He felt as if his body were about to explode, his entire form radiating a heart-shaking demonic light.
"Crack, crack..." The bones of his body trembled continuously. Lin Feng's mind remained clear, his eyes filled with a terrifying coldness. The deathly aura could no longer erode his body; it was as if he could no longer sense the interference of death energy. His long hair flew wildly, his whole being like a demonic venerable god, an undying demon sovereign, exuding endless power from head to toe.
"Boom!" Lin Feng's body shot upward, becoming even faster. But those terrifying demon beasts were faster still, especially when they saw Lin Feng swallow the Demon Bodhi. They went completely mad, pouncing toward him.
"The Demon Bodhi was planted on the Bodhi Tree. The Demon Bodhi Tree is here—take it!" Light flashed, and the Bodhi Tree appeared in Lin Feng's hand. He hurled it fiercely away. On the tree still hung two black Demon Bodhi fruits.
Seeing this, the demon beasts went insane. Their eyes locked onto the Demon Bodhi Tree and the fruits upon it. Either one was a supreme treasure.
Changing direction, all the demon beasts seemed to forget Lin Feng entirely, pouncing toward the Bodhi Tree. A brutal battle erupted instantly.
Seizing this gap, Lin Feng's body flickered madly, turning into a blur as he fled far away, leaving a trail of afterimages in the void.
Soon, Lin Feng reached the edge of Death Valley. His body shot upward, charging toward the cliff top and crossing out of the valley.
"Oh?" Many people were gathered outside the valley—experts from the East Sea Dragon Palace. Those from the East Sea Dragon Palace who were close to Death Valley saw the demonic figure break through the air and leave. Intense curiosity about the valley's secrets arose in their hearts. They wanted to probe what lay inside Death Valley and whether the demonic great emperor who had broken through the air had left anything behind.
At this moment, they were all waiting for the East Sea Dragon Palace's experts to arrive together. But before the sect's experts came, they encountered Lin Feng instead.
Lin Feng had stepped into Death Valley and yet hadn't died. He had walked out alive, breaking the precedent of Death Valley.
"You're not dead."
The East Sea Dragon Palace expert's killing intent bloomed, a cold smile on his face as he stepped toward Lin Feng. This fellow might have an imperial treasure on him—perhaps that was why he had survived.
"Kill." This man was a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator. His arm shot out, transforming into a Flood Dragon's claw. A terrifying aura grabbed toward Lin Feng as the Flood Dragon's shadow appeared, as if about to tear him apart.
Lin Feng suddenly punched out. This punch was cold and silent, wreathed in demonic light.
"Boom!" A terrible collision sound rang out. The Flood Dragon's shadow shattered, and Lin Feng's terrifying fist directly struck the man's body. With a cracking sound, the immense physical power annihilated everything within the man's body.
After killing his opponent, Lin Feng's body showed no hesitation. He flickered, heading in another direction, his steps carefree and impossibly fast.
The others were still stunned, not yet reacting. Lin Feng had killed a Heavenly Martial Realm expert with one punch?
How could this be? How could Lin Feng's fist be so terrifying?
By the time they realized they should pursue, Lin Feng's figure had already vanished without a trace. That carefree step art was intoxicatingly swift, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Chase! Hurry and chase!" Someone roared. But then a wave of terrifying death energy descended, making them tremble all over. Turning back, they saw ferocious demon beasts soaring up from below Death Valley, appearing before them. These demon beasts exuded an aura of extreme terror. Their icy eyes fixed on the onlookers, making them feel as if they were about to die, their life force draining away.
"Whoosh..." Streams of terrifying death energy spewed from the demon beasts' mouths, rushing toward them. In an instant, their bodies were enveloped. Their vitality began to wither, their life force shrinking. Soon, gray death energy seeped from their bodies.
"Run!" They finally thought of escape, fleeing into the distance. But the death energy still clung to them. Before they had taken many steps, their vitality drained completely. They fell to the ground as corpses, dead.
As for those terrifying demon beasts, they all stared into the distance. They wanted to charge beyond Death Valley's boundaries, but seemed to harbor a deep fear, not daring to cross the line. No demon beast dared to step out of Death Valley, as if they were bound by some restriction.
These demon beasts knew well that when Death Valley was born, that terrifyingly powerful great being had turned them into undead demon beasts. It seemed that this valley was forbidden to anyone. And after sealing a demon emperor deep within Death Valley, their fate was sealed: they could never leave the valley even half a step. Once they left, they would become dead things. In a sense, they were not living beings at all. Only within Death Valley could they attain eternity.
The news that a demon emperor had broken the seal and escaped from Death Valley shocked the world. Countless experts from the Qian Domain rushed toward Death Valley.
A demon emperor—Death Valley had actually sealed a terrifying demon emperor. This news was even more shocking than when many forces had entered the secret realm before. After all, that secret realm was only rumored to be an imperial tomb, while Death Valley had truly produced a demon emperor.
Had the demon emperor sealed within Death Valley left anything behind? This time, it wasn't just disciples of various sects, but the experts of those sect forces themselves who mobilized, heading toward Death Valley.
This time, the major powers of the Qian Domain would have to join forces and step into Death Valley to investigate thoroughly.
At the same time, another matter weighed heavily on the hearts of these major forces. Everyone they had sent to the secret realm had gone missing—not a single one had returned. Whether those who entered the secret realm or those who waited outside, all were the same. This shocked every sect and force.
And then news spread that someone had seen many of the Heavenly Lake sect's people who went to the secret realm returning to the Heavenly Lake Snow Mountain. This gave rise to various thoughts among the major forces.
As for the news that Lin Feng had obtained the Jade Emperor's treasure, the East Sea Dragon Palace kept it tightly sealed. This matter could not be spread now. What they needed to do was capture and kill Lin Feng. Once word got out that Lin Feng had obtained the Jade Emperor's treasure, the East Sea Dragon Palace would find it even harder to seize the treasure. No force would let it go. They couldn't even guess whether the Heavenly Lake sect itself might make a move against Lin Feng.
The Jade Emperor's treasure—which expert could remain unmoved? Venerables would go mad for it. Although the people of Heavenly Lake were different from many other forces, before such a treasure, no one could know if there might be those with ulterior motives. No matter how noble the experts of Heavenly Lake were, they might not be able to resist the terrifying temptation of the Jade Emperor's treasure.
The fierce storm sweeping through the Qian Domain was all related to Lin Feng. But at this moment, Lin Feng was in a mountain range cave dwelling in the Qian Domain, temporarily in seclusion for cultivation. He needed to break through, to step into the Heavenly Martial Realm. With so many powerful methods at his disposal, once he entered the Heavenly Martial Realm, his strength would soar!
