Chapter 889: Despising the Divine Palace
Looking up, the people of the Divine Palace gazed at Lin Feng, who was looking down on them from above, their eyes narrowing slightly.
This guy truly didn't know when he was beaten. He was so arrogant, hovering up high as if he were above everyone else, looking down on them. Too arrogant, not even taking the experts of their Divine Palace seriously.
As for the words coming from Lin Feng's mouth, though they seemed to flatter the Divine Palace, they were laced with a thick tone of sarcasm.
"What an insolent fellow. Does he think that just these few Snow Eagles can protect him?" The people of the Divine Palace stared coldly at Lin Feng. Even Xi Juetian narrowed his eyes slightly, lifting his head to look at Lin Feng in the void. It was said that during the Snow Domain Grand Competition back then, Lin Feng had this very temperament—looking down on everything. At that time, Lin Feng indeed had the capital to look down on the masses. But today, Lin Feng was so frivolous; one had to wonder what qualifications he had.
"Palace Master, let me go and bring him down." At this moment, a rather young figure came to Xi Juetian's side, requesting permission. He had stepped into the Second Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm some time ago, and today he would take Lin Feng as his target.
"Mm." Xi Juetian nodded casually. It wouldn't hurt to test Lin Feng.
Receiving Xi Juetian's approval, the man immediately stepped forward, soaring into the air. Using the Wind Rising Nine Heavens technique, he swept through like a gust of wind, arriving in front of Lin Feng in an instant.
"Get down!" A loud shout rang out. A golden palm print appeared in the young man's hand, its patterns interwoven. Terrifying golden lightning bolts, along with his fearsome palm force, struck toward Lin Feng. In an instant, Lin Feng's body seemed to be enveloped in a dazzling golden radiance, with destructive power trying to blast him to death.
"Wind Rising Nine Heavens." Lin Feng's mind stirred, and his figure moved like the wind, incredibly fast. Using the same Wind Rising Nine Heavens technique, Lin Feng's speed was more like the trajectory of the wind—unfathomable, moving with his will, swift as thunder.
"Crack, crack..." The destructive golden light struck Lin Feng's body, producing a series of booming sounds, as if trying to tear his body apart. The young man's gaze turned cold. Lin Feng was incredibly bold, daring to take the attack head-on. This time, he would surely be severely injured.
But then, Lin Feng, charging upward, was covered in golden light, bathing in it as his body shot straight toward the young man above, upright and unyielding.
"Fall back quickly!" A loud shout came from behind Xi Juetian, warning the young man. But it was too late. Lin Feng had cultivated the Wind Rising Nine Heavens technique, combined with the Carefree Step Art, both extremely powerful divine abilities. Wind Rising Nine Heavens contained the will of wind speed, like a violent gale erupting with terrifying force, instantly soaring into the nine heavens. The Carefree Step Art was even more wondrous, not only containing the will of wind technique but also the ethereal, carefree will of the wind. Now, Lin Feng's attainment in the will of wind had reached the fifth level. His movement technique was incredibly mysterious and swift.
With both hands pushing through the golden lightning, Lin Feng instantly arrived below the young man, causing the latter's expression to change. He roared in anger, and the golden palm print, interwoven with terrifying golden electric arcs, pressed directly toward Lin Feng. But Lin Feng, his entire body entwined with golden lightning, looked like a golden war god. His hands held up the sky, fearless. The destructive light flowed over him but could not harm him in the slightest.
"Boom!" An unparalleled force struck the young man, piercing through his golden battle armor. With a dull thud, his internal organs were destroyed by Lin Feng, his heart burst from the terrifying punch, and his life force rapidly faded.
"Get lost." Lin Feng stepped on his body, kicking him back toward the crowd of the Divine Palace. The person who had shouted the warning caught the young man, but what he caught was already a corpse, its life force severed.
Lifting his head, that person looked at Lin Feng, his eyes icy cold. Lin Feng merely glanced at him indifferently, then swept his gaze over the people of the Divine Palace, saying coldly, "Back when I participated in the Snow Domain Grand Competition, I thought the Divine Palace was full of geniuses and almost joined. Luckily, I didn't in the end. Even someone at the Second Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm is such trash, unable to withstand a single blow. Joining the Divine Palace would just be a waste of time. Can't you find someone decent to fight?"
Lin Feng's words were extremely sarcastic, making the faces of the Divine Palace crowd turn ugly. Especially some of the younger ones, who had already stepped forward to fight Lin Feng. But Xi Juetian waved his hand to stop them, looking at Lin Feng. This kid had shown astonishing talent during the Snow Domain Grand Competition, and now he was even more terrifying. His physical body was so powerful that he could directly withstand attacks from a Second Layer Heavenly Martial Realm expert and kill with absolute force. It was a pity he couldn't be used by the Divine Palace.
At this moment, Xi Juetian cursed Beiming inwardly. Back then, the Northern Divine Palace hadn't valued Lin Feng enough, leading to today's situation. If they had known, they should have gone all out to protect Lin Feng's family and friends. Then perhaps Lin Feng might have had a chance to become a member of their Divine Palace.
"Lin Feng, I've come personally today. You should know what your fate will be. But considering that you and the Divine Palace once had some good memories, I'll give you one more chance. Join my Divine Palace and work for us. I, Xi Juetian, will let bygones be bygones and will not treat you unfairly."
Xi Juetian spoke to Lin Feng, still holding a faint hope that Lin Feng would join his Western Divine Palace. In time, he would surely become a pillar of the Western Divine Palace, his right-hand man.
"Join the Divine Palace? Should I first hand over the treasures I obtained in the secret realm?" Lin Feng mocked.
"Of course. Some powerful items you can't use anyway. It's better to hand them over to the Divine Palace, and you can keep a few for yourself. This is absolutely not a bad thing for you. Why seek your own death?" Xi Juetian's voice was calm as he continued to persuade.
"What do you mean by seeking death? It seems you think you have me cornered. Fine, I'll give you a chance. Among these trash of your Divine Palace, anyone at the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm or below who can defeat me, I'll agree to your terms." Lin Feng pointed his finger at the Divine Palace crowd, instantly enraging them. What an arrogant fellow, daring to claim that those at the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm in the Divine Palace were trash, unable to defeat him.
How formidable were those at the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm? They were three major realms higher than the First Layer, already mid-level Heavenly Martial experts. Generally, they could condense divine thoughts and launch mental attacks, killing Lin Feng with a single thought. This Lin Feng had no idea of the gap between heaven and earth.
Among the dozen or so Heavenly Martial experts from the Divine Palace who had arrived, aside from the one Lin Feng had just killed, there were five others at the Fourth Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm or below. Two were at the Fourth Layer, and the other three were at the Third Layer. The rest were at the Fifth Layer or even stronger. To capture Lin Feng, they had mobilized such a formidable force.
Below in the clouds, many people from Snow Moon watched the experts in the void, standing in the air without using any true essence—all terrifying Heavenly Martial experts. They were deeply shocked. And their king, Lin Feng, stood proudly in the void, fearless in the face of so many powerful enemies, ready to fight them all. It made their blood boil, but they were also very nervous, worried that Lin Feng might not prevail. These were the experts of the Divine Palace, the absolute ruler of the Snow Domain, and even a palace master had come personally.
"Big talk." The middle-aged man holding the body of the young man Lin Feng had just killed stared coldly at Lin Feng, saying, "Palace Master, let me handle this."
This man's cultivation was at the Third Layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm.
"Fine." Xi Juetian nodded. He wanted to see just how strong Lin Feng's physical body could be.
The man put down the young man's body, stepped forward, and his killing intent was fully exposed.
"Ignorant fool. Let me show you what true realm means." As the man's words fell, a fierce wind swept through the void, and shadows appeared—all of them the man's figures, extremely eerie.
The wind howled violently. Generally, the higher one's realm, the deeper their understanding of the natural forces of heaven and earth, the stronger their will, and the better they could harness the power of heaven and earth. Now, the raging wind in the void swirled violently, forming terrifying whirlpools. The man's shadows filled the sky, impossible to see clearly.
The crowd below looked up at the scene in the void, their hearts trembling. How terrifying! They couldn't even see clearly. The roaring wind could tear them apart, and those afterimages seemed as real as the man himself. How could one fight this?
But Lin Feng stood there, unmoving, sneering. Did he need to be taught what realm meant?
He slowly closed his eyes, casting everything from his mind, leaving only this heaven and earth.
