Chapter 840: Blasting a Heavenly Martial Expert into the Sky
Behind the main peak's Heavenly Terrace Palace on Heavenly Terrace Peak, there were many ordinary houses built against the snow, appearing quite tranquil.
The Heavenly Terrace Peak lineage was gradually declining, with a severe talent gap. And since Heavenly Lake was extremely free, if disciples below the main peak wanted to change their affiliation, like Baili Xi had, it was permitted. Therefore, Heavenly Terrace Peak couldn't retain people, and many talents would leave from there. Thus, Heavenly Terrace Peak appeared rather desolate.
The three Venerables also rarely concerned themselves with Heavenly Terrace Peak's affairs, focusing wholeheartedly on cultivation. They believed that if they themselves grew powerful, more geniuses would come seeking them out, reviving Heavenly Terrace.
In front of a snow-covered house, it was still very simple. Snow Venerable had moved here to cultivate. Sitting on the snowy ground, Snow Venerable was like an ordinary person, serene and calm.
"Back already!"
Snow Venerable opened his eyes, looking at Lin Feng walking through the snow, and nodded slightly at him.
"Senior..." Lin Feng nodded slightly at Snow Venerable, seeming to want to say something, but Snow Venerable gently shook his head, interrupting him: "I know all about what's happened outside. Among the seven main peaks of Heavenly Terrace, our Heavenly Terrace Peak is weak. Those proud disciples will inevitably harbor some contempt, looking down on the Heavenly Terrace lineage. And since you killed someone from their Heavenly Pivot Peak, it was inevitable that they would come looking for you."
"But to actually stake the Heavenly Terrace Palace as a bet, as disciples of Heavenly Lake, isn't that a bit too disrespectful?" Lin Feng said.
"Generally speaking, those with outstanding talent always think they are superior to others, carrying an air of arrogance. This is human nature. People from Heavenly Pivot Peak have it, and people from Heavenly Terrace Peak have it too. But this arrogance depends on how it is expressed. Take Heavenly Lake Snow, for example. The her of the past and the her of now are completely different. After going out and experiencing a life-and-death trial, she has matured a lot and restrained her arrogance. Because she knows that beyond the sky, there is another sky. There are many who are more talented than her."
Snow Venerable's voice was calm, completely unconcerned, and he spoke with detachment: "Lin Feng, with your current cultivation, there are very few at the same level who can contend with you. But the reason you can restrain your arrogance in ordinary times is because of your experiences and trials. If someone shows pride before you, your own pride will also be involuntarily provoked. Arrogance is not a bad thing. It can stimulate a person's potential, driving them to constantly pursue a realm stronger than their peers."
Lin Feng was thoughtful and nodded slightly. Snow Venerable's perspective on things was indeed more penetrating than his own.
"Their siege of the Heavenly Terrace Palace, your appearance made them pay a price, didn't it? Having received this lesson, I hope they will learn from their shame and strive to be stronger."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Snow Venerable's breadth of mind left him speechless.
"This trip to the secret realm must have brought you many gains. Once this matter is settled, you should go into seclusion and cultivate properly, focusing your mind, and see if you can break through to the Heavenly Martial Realm." Snow Venerable continued, not mentioning Lin Feng's refining of the Jade Emperor's heart in the secret realm, nor asking what treasures he had obtained. What Lin Feng got was his own. He didn't inquire, making Lin Feng secretly grateful. The prosperity of Heavenly Lake had its sufficient reasons.
"Alright." Lin Feng nodded. What Snow Venerable said was exactly what he wanted to do. Breaking into the Heavenly Martial Realm was imperative. Since he hadn't succeeded in one go last time, after this matter was settled, he would go into seclusion again, gathering all his focus to comprehend. After entering the Heavenly Martial Realm, he would also return to Snow Moon Kingdom and also go to Black Wind Ridge!
"Lin Feng, get out here!"
At that moment, from the direction of the distant hall, a rolling voice drifted over, entering Lin Feng's ears.
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing through them. This roar contained powerful force, enveloping the surrounding space. It was extremely rude.
He glanced at Snow Venerable, but saw that the old man's eyes were slowly closing, as if he didn't care at all.
"Get out, get out..." The breaking shout was like rolling thunder, vibrating in the void, like a thunderclap on a clear day, shaking the space until it trembled slightly.
"Heavenly Martial Realm!"
Lin Feng's gaze was cold. He looked towards the direction of the hall, then stood up. With a single step, he disappeared from the spot instantly. Only moments later, he reappeared outside the Heavenly Terrace Palace.
At this time, the person shouting outside the Heavenly Terrace Palace was also a young man. His brows were sharp, carrying a soaring spirit. His cold eyes were as cold as a blade's edge. Behind him followed a group of youths, all from Heavenly Pivot Peak, including many who had been blasted down Heavenly Terrace Peak by Lin Feng not long ago.
"He is Lin Feng." Someone said to the leading youth. Immediately, the young man's gaze locked firmly onto Lin Feng, and he said coldly: "Killing someone from my Heavenly Pivot Peak and then making my Heavenly Pivot Peak disciples scram. Heavenly Lake hasn't seen such a madman for a long time."
"Are you here to avenge them, or to capture me and take me to Heavenly Pivot Peak for punishment?" Lin Feng looked at the youth. He was indeed a Heavenly Martial Realm expert. Standing there, he gave off a mysterious feeling. Even though his anger was surging, his aura still faintly harmonized with heaven and earth. He should have entered the Heavenly Martial Realm for quite some time.
"Taking you to Heavenly Pivot Peak to confess your crimes and avenging the disciple who died at your hands from my Heavenly Pivot Peak—these don't seem contradictory." The other party sneered, his gaze sharp.
"How do you plan to avenge?" Lin Feng asked again.
"Do you think you can still live?"
Lin Feng sneered: "If you want to kill me, why not just make a move directly? You still need to capture me and take me to Heavenly Pivot Peak to confess. Isn't that an unnecessary step?"
The youth's actions undoubtedly confirmed his guess. Someone at Heavenly Pivot Peak indeed coveted the treasures he had obtained from the Jade Emperor Palace.
"You talk too much nonsense." The youth said coldly: "I heard your fist strength is not bad. Considering your weak cultivation, lest someone say I am bullying the lack of people of Heavenly Terrace Peak, you make the first move. I'll let you have three punches."
For a Heavenly Martial Realm expert, with the unity of heaven and man, the spirit merging with heaven, all power can be borrowed. Letting a Mysterious Martial Realm cultivator have three punches is nothing but bullying the weak. The Heavenly Martial and Mysterious Martial Realms are simply not on the same level.
But Lin Feng was stunned when he heard the other party's words. Let him have three punches?
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Lin Feng smiled, walking slowly towards the youth, a cold smile on his lips. A First Layer Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator, letting him have three punches?
The crowd behind Lin Feng were all stunned for a moment, then they all showed sympathetic expressions towards the youth, even thinking he was a bit pitiful. That day, when they came out of the secret realm, Lin Feng had killed a Heavenly Martial Realm expert with his bare hands, directly refining him into nothingness. This showed how terrifying Lin Feng's combat power was. He wasn't even afraid of Heavenly Martial Realm experts. Now, after a few days, Lin Feng seemed even stronger. If the youth fought with all his strength, he might have a chance. But to let Lin Feng have three punches was undoubtedly seeking death.
On the youth's body, a vast aura rolled and surged, rushing straight into the sky. Heaven and man were one. A peculiar radiance seemed to flow around his body. He watched Lin Feng quietly, waiting for the other party to throw his punch.
"Are you ready?" Lin Feng walked in front of the other party and asked in a low voice.
"Make your move. Do you think I, dealing with a Mysterious Martial Realm cultivator, would go back on my word?" The youth shouted coldly. In the eyes of a Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator, even a peak Mysterious Martial Realm cultivator was insignificant. The youth's eyes were filled with contempt.
As soon as his words fell, it was as if a muffled thunder rumbled through heaven and earth. Then, the youth felt a fierce, overbearing hurricane rushing towards his face. Lin Feng had thrown his punch. His fist turned into a terrifying dark vortex, wanting to destroy everything. He only felt a fierce, overbearing gale howling and roaring, faintly carrying surging waves that violently crashed against his body. The fist hadn't even arrived yet, but he already felt a destructive pressure.
"Not good." The youth's expression changed drastically in an instant. A terrifying aura exploded instantly, rolling towards Lin Feng's fist. But it was too late. The terrifying fist intent vortex instantly blasted onto the youth's body. Bones cracked, blood surged wildly, and his body was directly blasted flying into the air.
The eyes of the Heavenly Pivot Peak crowd all froze, staring at the figure flying through the void. Their expressions were stunned, completely shocked.
A Heavenly Martial Realm expert, what difference was there between him and them? Same thing—blasted flying with one punch!
The crowd saw a figure flicker, instantly appearing beside the youth. The fist fiercely swung downwards. With a booming explosion.
"Ah..." The youth let out a miserable scream, like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves. All the bones in his body were shattered, his internal organs churning wildly, as if they might be shaken apart at any moment.
"You can only withstand two casual punches. I'll spare your worthless life. Get lost." A voice came from Lin Feng's mouth. His right foot suddenly kicked out, and the youth's figure shot far away, as if he was about to be kicked off the main peak of Heavenly Terrace by this one kick.
