Chapter 897: Brutally Beating the Great Emperor

When Qiongqi heard Lin Feng's words, his fur stood on end, his gaze icy cold, and faint flames seemed to burst forth from his body.

But Lin Feng waved his hand, and a golden little figure appeared in the void. Lin Feng asked coldly, "Evil spirit, confirm one more time, is it the Flame Emperor?"

The golden little figure shrank back slightly, seemingly terrified. He was merely an evil spirit condensed from a remnant soul of the Flame Emperor, while the other party might have inherited everything of the Flame Emperor. In the past, he was only a part of the other.

"Yes." The evil spirit trembled as it hid into Lin Feng's sleeve. Lin Feng nodded coldly. That day outside Tianluo Ancient City, when Qiongqi encountered a crisis and summoned him, he rushed over. After arriving, they joined forces to kill the Fire Demon King, but Qiongqi had no reaction at all, and their connection was severed. Even then, Lin Feng knew that Qiongqi was no longer Qiongqi.

There were only two possibilities: either it was the evil spirit, or it was what the evil spirit called the Flame Emperor.

Later, Lin Feng remained calm and had the evil spirit secretly identify him. The evil spirit told him it was the Flame Emperor. If he were facing the evil spirit, he wouldn't feel that trembling from the depths of his soul.

"Since you know it's I, the Emperor, what do you intend to do?"

At that moment, a cold voice came from Qiongqi's mouth, arrogant and icy. His eyes were also filled with superiority, as if he were the ruler.

"I, the Emperor?" Lin Feng smiled. "Good. I didn't expect such an encounter. Today, I will seal you, this Great Emperor."

With that, Lin Feng stepped forward and slammed his palm heavily onto the ground. Instantly, the entire hall radiated brilliant light. On the ground and in the void, clear and strange patterns appeared, flowing and swirling wildly, dazzling to the eye.

In an instant, the vast hall seemed to be woven with countless black nets, intertwining like black chains.

"Spirit Sealing Technique!" The Flame Emperor's gaze trembled, and his body shot into the air. But then, crackling sounds rang out as brilliant black light, like chains, wrapped around his body. The strands of light covered every corner of his body, locking him firmly in place.

"You dare seal my spirit?" Qiongqi glared at Lin Feng, his gaze so cold it was terrifying. Though the Flame Emperor had fallen and could only rely on possessing a demon beast, his anger still exuded immense authority. This authority belonged to the days when he once roamed the world. Although Lin Feng's strength far surpassed Qiongqi's, facing this authority now, he felt a suffocating pressure.

"Hmph." Lin Feng's eyes flashed with sharpness, turning icy as well. He said coldly, "I call you Flame Emperor out of respect. If I don't give you face, you're just a demon beast now, nothing more."

"You're out of line." The Flame Emperor roared through Qiongqi, the sharp spikes on his body bursting with fiery light. He opened his massive mouth and spat out a torrent of terrifying flames. Qiongqi was already an ancient ferocious beast with extremely powerful flames, and now combined with the Flame Emperor's fire, it was even more fearsome. As the flames surged toward Lin Feng, they seemed to scorch the very space.

Lin Feng stepped forward, unleashing the power of the Great Sun Incinerating Heaven Scripture. Endless sky-incinerating flames blazed forth, annihilating everything, and charged directly at Qiongqi. Though the flames from Qiongqi's mouth were immensely powerful, they couldn't harm Lin Feng in the slightest.

No matter how terrifying the Flame Emperor was in the past, now he was merely parasitic on the Profound Demon Qiongqi.

"Get down." Lin Feng shouted angrily, raising his palm. A terrifying demon-sealing force surged within it, and he struck out fiercely at Qiongqi. With a booming crash, the demon-sealing power slammed into Qiongqi, suppressing and sealing him, directly smashing him to the ground and causing the hall to tremble violently.

"How dare you! I, the Emperor..." Qiongqi's mouth roared in fury, but a terrifying demon-sealing pressure descended from above, slamming into him and making his entire body shake violently.

The former Great Emperor hadn't yet adapted to being bullied and trampled by someone he once considered an ant.

"Whether you're an emperor or a sovereign, now you are my demon beast." Lin Feng formed hand seals, and beams of light danced between his palms. Qiongqi was locked by the black light, staring fixedly at Lin Feng as he formed the seals, his expression ugly.

"Roar..." A beastly roar came from his mouth. Spirit sealing! This damned human dared to seal the spirit of the dignified Flame Emperor, locking him into this beast's body. From now on, he, the Great Emperor, would only have a beastly fleshly body.

He had come out of that space because he couldn't find a better body and had chosen Qiongqi. After all, Qiongqi was an ancient ferocious beast, extremely powerful, but Qiongqi was still a demon beast. And he was a Great Emperor. In his view, this was just a temporary transition.

"Roaring won't help." Lin Feng said coldly. The hand forming the seal emitted brilliant light, and his lips moved as if chanting the spirit-sealing incantation. The seal in his hand moved faster and faster.

Finally, it transformed into the light of the array dao, an extremely profound pattern.

"Spirit Seal!"

Lin Feng shouted angrily, his palms trembling violently. Then, with a bang, they descended upon Qiongqi. Instantly, the terrifying, eerie light beam crashed down like lightning, rolling and flashing over Qiongqi's body, covering him entirely.

"Roar!" Qiongqi let out an unwilling roar, the beams of light trembling. But Lin Feng struck again with a demon-sealing palm force, shaking Qiongqi's body. Then, the terrifying spirit-sealing light directly entered Qiongqi's body, into his mind, exuding a powerful sealing aura.

Spirit sealing: forever sealing his divine consciousness within Qiongqi's fleshly body. If the body lived, the divine consciousness lived; if the body died, the divine consciousness died.

Unless one day Qiongqi could break the seal, the Flame Emperor would be Qiongqi.

"I, the Emperor, will kill you." Qiongqi's eyes bulged, staring fixedly at Lin Feng. The terrifying authority made Lin Feng's mind tremble.

But Lin Feng's gaze remained icy.

"Kill me? I call you Flame Emperor out of respect. If I don't give you face, I treat you like a beast." Lin Feng's gaze was cold. Another demon-sealing palm force struck Qiongqi, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Roar!" The binding light disappeared, and the spirit sealing ended. Qiongqi lunged at Lin Feng, disregarding all dignity, opening his massive mouth to bite Lin Feng directly, as if mad.

"Get lost." Lin Feng kicked Qiongqi hard, sending him flying again.

Taking a big step forward, Lin Feng exuded a chilling aura. This guy still thought he was a Great Emperor. If he didn't give him a good beating, he would never behave. Lin Feng was counting on him for greater use.

Today, he would brutally beat a Great Emperor.

Qiongqi charged at Lin Feng again, disregarding life and death. The once-great Flame Emperor had fallen so low, suffering such humiliation, that he wished he could devour Lin Feng alive.

Lin Feng's fist shot out, smashing into Qiongqi's mouth with a bang. The terrifying physical force stunned Qiongqi. Then, Lin Feng stepped forward and kicked him hard again. Qiongqi howled in pain, his body slamming into the stone wall of the hall, making it tremble violently.

A demon-sealing force bloomed in his palm. Lin Feng stepped forward, instantly appearing beside Qiongqi, and swung his palm fiercely. With a crash, Qiongqi's body curled up.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Fist after fist rained down on Qiongqi's body, beating him until he had no temper left, his breath weak, lying limp on the ground. He hated it—being bullied by an ant-like human.

"Great Emperor, Great Emperor, Great Emperor... I'll let you try to kill me." Lin Feng punched relentlessly, showing no mercy. He wanted to make the Flame Emperor accept reality once and for all, to understand who was boss now. How dare he threaten to kill him?

In the distance, people heard the sounds of battle and came over, only to find Lin Feng brutally beating Qiongqi. They wisely retreated far away, silently lamenting how Qiongqi had angered Lin Feng. How pitiful—beaten into a sick cat, curled up and motionless.

PS: The gap in flowers isn't too big. If you don't give flowers, I'll treat you like the Flame Emperor and beat you up. From now on, Lin Feng will ride the Great Emperor every day. Doesn't that feel mighty?
