Chapter 903: Endless Panic
"Thump, thump..." In the imperial palace, the hearts of those gazing up at the void were also trembling. When had their Snow Moon imperial palace possessed such terrifying power? At this moment, it seemed as if it would destroy heaven and earth.
"Sacred Marks, how is this possible?" A terrified roar came from the center of the violent spatial storm. The mere imperial palace of the Snow Moon Kingdom had actually laid down a Sacred Mark killing formation, drawing upon infinite profound meanings to slaughter and destroy everything.
"Lin Feng!"
"Lin Feng..." Shouts of rage echoed from the storm's center, but Lin Feng's expression remained indifferent as he calmly watched the destructive storm in the void: "Venerables, you still die."
As his words fell, endless annihilating light swept forward. Screams rang out as the storm in that space became almost invisible, nothing but a zone of destruction. This Sacred Mark killing formation had many Essence Crystals embedded within it, sensitive to the power of profound meanings. The moment a Venerable stepped in and tried to use their profound meaning power, the Sacred Marks would be triggered instantly, and all the destructive force would converge upon them.
When the infinite slaughter bloomed in that instant, all three Venerables were torn apart, their souls scattered. Before death, they felt fear and unwillingness. They had once been exceptionally gifted, had once enjoyed countless glories, and had finally stepped into the position of Venerable, worshipped by others. Yet after countless years of cultivation, their dreams shattered in a single moment, their lives buried here, dying at the hands of a young man at the First Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. A person's life is like a dream, vanishing so suddenly.
Besides the three Venerables who were directly destroyed by the killing storm, any Heavenly Martial Realm experts near them suffered collateral damage. Even if they weren't the storm's main targets, being at its center meant they couldn't even withstand the residual killing force, and they too were torn apart and killed.
In the brief moment the Sacred Mark killing formation was triggered, the entire situation reversed dramatically. The people from the three terrifying forces suffered countless casualties in an instant.
As the destructive storm gradually subsided, many powerful figures vanished from the void. Even those who survived were all heavily injured, staring in horror at the figures that had disappeared.
Dead. They were all dead just like that.
When their gazes turned to Lin Feng, their expressions turned icy cold, their eyes bloodshot, their killing intent fierce.
"Despicable." A cold voice spat from one of the remaining experts. The Snow Moon imperial palace had actually hidden such a terrifying killing mechanism. Even if a Venerable stepped in, death was the only outcome.
"Three hegemonic forces from mid-rank empires come to my humble Snow Moon imperial palace. Three Venerables and so many Heavenly Martial Realm experts want to kill me, Lin Feng, a mere First Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm cultivator, and you still have the face to call me despicable? Your faces are too ugly." Lin Feng replied coldly. The victor is king, the loser a bandit. If not for this terrifying Sacred Mark killing formation, he would have been the one destroyed.
Those Heavenly Martial Realm experts glanced at the fading light. It seemed the destructive power was gone. Was there only one wave?
"Kill!" One of them shouted angrily, charging toward Lin Feng. But Lin Feng's body flickered, his Carefree Step Art activating, instantly appearing elsewhere. In that spot, many people were standing—Yue Menghe, Lin Hai, and others were among them.
"Kill him! That power seems to have disappeared." The crowd roared, all charging to kill Lin Feng.
"Boom!"
"Boom, rumble..."
Various terrifying powers erupted. But the moment they released their power, brilliant beams of light appeared from the ground again, making their bodies tremble violently.
"Chi, chi..." Destructive beams shot toward their bodies, piercing straight through them. Figures fell from the void, dying instantly. Unlike the previous destructive storm, these were extremely precise killing beams. Anyone who released their true essence power immediately triggered the killing beams and was instantly killed.
In just another instant, all those who had entered to kill Lin Feng fell from the void. The few who remained behind opened their mouths in shock, speechless, their bodies trembling slightly.
Again, it was just an instant, but however many came, that many died. They noticed that the people inside were all standing quietly, with not a trace of aura fluctuation, none of them releasing their true essence power. This made them realize: whoever released power here would immediately trigger the destructive light and be obliterated.
This Snow Moon imperial palace was laid with a terrifying killing array. Whoever entered would surely die.
A smile played at the corners of Lin Feng's mouth as he slowly stepped forward, looking at the figures in the void. Five remained. In two breaths, the three terrifying forces had been almost completely wiped out, leaving only five people. Such was the power of the killing Sacred Marks laid down by the Great Emperor. It was too terrifying. At this moment, Lin Feng even thought to himself that he should probably treat that guy a bit better from now on.
"It seems that although that guy hates me, he doesn't really want my life," Lin Feng understood inwardly. Otherwise, with this terrifying Sacred Mark killing power, if Qiongqi hadn't told him about it, he might have been caught in it himself.
"Seniors, do you still want to kill me, Lin Feng?" Lin Feng smiled at the five, not a trace of aura emanating from his body. The five were the same, completely restraining their auras, not daring to release even a shred. They didn't know when they might trigger that killing force and be torn apart and destroyed.
Hearing Lin Feng's provocative words, their gazes turned icy cold, staring fixedly at Lin Feng, wishing they could tear him apart.
"It seems you gentlemen don't want to bother with Lin Feng anymore," Lin Feng said with a faint, mocking smile. Rage burned in their hearts, but they dared not release it.
The Venerables were dead. Heavenly Martial Realm experts stronger than them were dead. Now they were wondering whether they should retreat.
The entire Snow Moon imperial palace was full of killing dangers. It seemed no one could kill Lin Feng here anymore. They couldn't understand how Lin Feng had laid down such terrifying power.
"However, although you esteemed experts from great forces don't wish to bother with me, Lin Feng always repays grudges. So... kill!" Lin Feng roared, his Carefree Step Art instantly activating as he charged toward a Heavenly Martial Realm expert, throwing a ferocious punch. The destructive force shook the very space.
"Hmm?"
The few of them opened their eyes wide. Lin Feng had suddenly released his power. He knew where he could release it and where he couldn't, but they didn't, so they dared not act rashly.
"Boom!"
The destructive punch directly killed a Heavenly Martial Realm expert. By the time that person saw Lin Feng's move and tried to react, it was too late. He had completely restrained all his power and aura—how could he dodge Lin Feng's thunderous strike? One hit, one kill.
The other four immediately released their true essence power upon seeing this, watching Lin Feng with extreme vigilance. But Lin Feng killed one person and retreated back to his original spot, smiling at them as if nothing had happened.
"Four left." Lin Feng grinned foolishly, and the other four's expressions stiffened. A feeling of panic began to grow in their hearts.
What should they do? At this moment, what choice did they have?
When they came, they had regarded Lin Feng as an ant. But now, they saw him as a demon. His brilliant smile, in their eyes, had become a nightmare.
"Lin Feng, when I return and gather the experts of my sect, I will make sure you die without a burial place and destroy your entire imperial palace," one of them threatened coldly. Then his body slowly retreated, as if finding a high-sounding excuse for his escape.
"Destroy my imperial palace? No matter how many your East Sea Dragon Palace sends, that many will die. You are no exception. Kill!"
Lin Feng roared, and a terrifying demonic aura shot into the sky. That person turned around abruptly to see several massive figures madly pouncing toward him. His body immediately retreated—retreat was the only option. His aura erupted wildly.
"Chi..." A killing beam shot out, piercing directly into his brow, destroying everything. His body went rigid instantly, then fell limply. Another expert, dead.
"Three left." Lin Feng smiled, looking at the remaining three Heavenly Martial Realm experts.
The hearts of those three were pounding. Another one dead. The three terrifying forces had come together, and in the blink of an eye, only three of them remained. Their hearts trembled.
"Attack! Kill!" Lin Feng shouted. The Snow Eagle that had been pouncing charged at another person. That person's powerful aura erupted, but at that moment, a chi-chi sound rang out. Endless sword intent instantly flooded into his body, shredding him apart.
He turned his head with difficulty, glanced at Lin Feng, then fell unwillingly toward the ground below.
"Two." Lin Feng counted with a smile. The remaining two felt like they were about to collapse. This fear was driving them mad. Another one dead. Only two were left!
