Chapter 1472: Who Else Can Challenge You In This World?
Translator:Sparrow Translations Editor:Sparrow Translations
Lin Feng faced off against two demon emperors by himself, and even though he wasn't at a disadvantage, it would be difficult for him to hold them down and seal them away.
Shen Yuan took the opportunity when Lin Feng was battling with Xuan Shang, and he channeled his strength to leap out from the Celestial Heavenly Array.
The Taiji Celestial Star Formation was outside the Celestial Heavenly Array. Stars surged around the skies, and Shen Yuan flashed a toothy smile as the blood-colored stars waltzed around his body before he collided with the Taiji Celestial Star Formation.
The enormous formation instantly became a little slack, and the starry heavens that resembled the entire universe was instantly tainted red.
The Celestial Heavenly Array's seal became even weaker from this. Xuan Shang took this chance to rush out of the chess board.
Even though they managed to break free, the two demon emperors didn't feel relaxed at all. The Great Void Holy Man, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror, and the Shakyamuni had all arrived outside the Taiji Celestial Star Formation, but they couldn't even underestimate Lin Feng by himself.
Lin Feng placed his index and middle finger like a sword as he swiped his fingers through the air. A ball of chaotic and incredibly ferocious sword radiance appeared at his fingertips.
The all-destroying and terrifying apocalyptic energy appeared even more fearsome and evil than the demon emperors' demonic powers.
From the moment this sword radiance appeared, the already turbulent Spirit Sea became even more violent and hysterical.
Even though Lin Feng and Mount Yujing were located within the great Chaos between the Spirit Sea and his own world, the appearance of Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword was still enough to rile up the Spirit Sea.
Torrential spiritual energy and light ray poured out from the Spirit Sea towards Lin Feng, and it felt as the Spirit Sea wanted to submerge Lin Feng completely.
However, when the waves of the Spirit Sea became stronger, the Death Sea's oceanwater grew in tandem and flowed from the crack, causing the crack to become wider and wider.
Lin Feng drew upon the Savage Energy of the entire world, and he started congregating them inside this patch of Chaos.
The dense Savage Energies condensed and became formless streaks of air. Living beings perished and s.p.a.ce-time collapsed wherever these streaks touched.
Mount Yujing, the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree, and the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds were trembling incessantly.
At this moment, the Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi on Lin Feng's fingertips changed from the hue of Chaos and darkness to one of formlessness and colorlessness. However, the fearsome and petrifying power contained within became sharper and even more stifling.
Wherever the sword tip reached, death and apocalypse followed.
The Great Void Holy Man and the Shakyamuni stared at Lin Feng with solemn expressions.
They could feel that Lin Feng's Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi was similar to the Death Sea's energy. They were similar yet different with several nuances.
But there was no doubt that both were apocalyptic forces that brought destruction, chaos, and calamity to the entire world. The highest possible level would mean the Great World itself would be on its way to demise.
This was power that surpa.s.sed the Power-Destroying Catastrophe and The Great Calamity – this was power that could end all Destiny, and all Dao in the world.
The Tai Yi Holy Man, Zheng Yi Holy Man, and the Xuan Yi Holy Man watched on and they could feel their scalps go numb. "This ferociousness is stronger than before. With this trajectory of development, he doesn't even need that Heaven-Destroying Sword anymore, and he himself can bring about world-ending destruction to the entire Greater World!"
Xuan Shang and Shen Yuan were the ones facing off this ent.i.ty, and their experiences were the most acute.
The snowy-white fur all over Shen Yuan stood on ends as he stared at Lin Feng with his blood-red eyes. He leapt through the skies fiercely, and his movement became drifty and unpredictable once again.
Xuan Shang was equally solemn. Vast demonic power surged as the scales all over his body opened and closed. Streaks of golden light shot into the sky and covered his entire body.
All four mighty individuals could feel at this moment that Lin Feng wasn't just channeling the Heaven-Destroying Sword.
Streaks of black light s.h.i.+mmered on his fingertip and formed uncountable black-colored light swords in the sky. They circled around the blood-red pillars that had been piercing through the clouds this whole time.
Innumerable black light swords quickly lined up to form a formation pattern, before they came together to form a gigantic sword formation.
Hostile and fearsome energy permeated the skies and instilled fear into people's hearts.
Following the Heaven-Destroying Sword's continual improvement and Lin Feng's continual rise in mastery, the Primal Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation was also becoming more and more powerful.
Lin Feng hadn't used this sword formation for a long, and the appearance of this sword formation once more shook the entire Greater World.
This colossal sword formation merged with the formless and colorless sword radiance on Lin Feng's fingertips, and the formation transformed once again and rose to another level.
The blood-red pillars and the countless black light swords gradually became formless and colorless, but the ferociousness and savagery contained within them became more frightening.
Both Shen Yuan and Xuan Shang grew even more solemn as they watched the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation.
When the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation appeared, even the starry brilliance of the Taiji Celestial Star Formation became dimmer and even its rotations felt impeded.
The Imperial Palace and the six gates to the starry sea quivered continuously inside this gigantic formation.
Their own powers were only as such, and the demon emperors were the targets – there was nothing more to be said about their experience.
Lin Feng didn't activate the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation. Instead, he laughed heartily and said, "Come, Xuan Li!"
Everyone on scene was taken back.
Outside Mount Yujing and on the border between the Spirit Sea and the Death Sea, the whirlpool grew bigger and bigger. The extreme yet empirical power of creation and destruction intertwined, and the power kept growing and shattered everything and all the spiritual energy that came near.
However, there was a sword radiance contained within that grew increasingly bright. When the sword radiance reached its pinnacle, it suddenly vanished into thin air.
The fearsome and uncanny sword aura disappeared at this moment, as if the Heaven-Destroying Sword that had been enhanced for the third time was gone.
Had he failed?
No!
An enchanting and extraordinarily beautiful girl that was both cold and pretty appeared in the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation above Lin Feng's head. She sat cross-legged inside, and it was Xuan Li!
Lin Feng chuckled. Xuan Li's cold voice carried tinges of metal as they shouted in unison, "Destroy the heavens!"
In the next moment, Xuan Li's figure vanished inside the sword formation. Lin Feng raised his right arm, and there appeared to be a formless and colorless longsword in his hands.
There wasn't a drop of ferocity or fearsomeness in this longsword, but it felt starkly different from before.
However, the Tai Yi Holy Man seemed a little defeated as he heaved a sigh and remained silent.
The Heaven-Destroying Sword had become stronger than before. Its aura wasn't there, but that didn't mean its strength was lost – on the contrary, it simply stopped flowing outwards, and it was so mystical and so powerful at the same time.
It was like the terrifying Death Sea before them, and it could cause lay waste to all living beings, and it could cause heaven and earth and all Dao to collapse.
In normal days, how many mortals and cultivators could feel its existence, how many more could feel its terror in person, and how many more could be inside the Death Sea so that this all-destroying force could descend upon the world once again?
The reappearance of the Heaven-Destroying Sword didn't trigger much response from the Taiji Celestial Star Formation and the gates to the starry sea and the Imperial Palace inside.
The Fengdu Necropolis, the Higan Golden Bridge inside the Spirit Sea, the Heaven-Opening Sword, the Longevity Lotus Seat inside the Greater World weren't triggered either.
There were only two magic treasures that reacted vigorously.
The Bell of Destiny beside Lin Feng, and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror beside the Great Void Holy Man!
The Bell of Destiny appeared beside Lin Feng and chimed continuously. These chimes were faster than they had ever been, and there was a sharp feel to them.
The enormous bell continued to chime, and light shadows danced around. With every chime, there seemed to be an entire world of Destiny destroyed inside, while the next chime seemed to open another universe and another Greater World. As this chime reached its end, this world was annihilated once again – this cycle continued on and on.
The Supreme Heavenly Mirror revealed itself in the boundless s.p.a.ce. The mirror's surface grew bright then dim, and then it became bright again – this cycle went on and on.
The countless streaks of light that were connected to the Supreme Heavenly Mirror were starting to break apart.
The mystical mirror with a million faces trembled in s.p.a.ce, and a cacophony of sounds could be heard.
Everybody was watching the formless sword in Lin Feng's hands at this point. Everybody could feel that formless yet terrifying power that instilled fear into the bottom of people's hearts.
The sword wasn't even out, and everyone could already feel it.
The Heaven-Destroying Sword before them had truly become the number-one magic treasure in the Grand Celestial World, and it had completely left the Bell of Destiny and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror in the dust.
That terrifying power gave people a feeling that it shouldn't exist in the Grand Celestial World, and this Greater World felt like it wasn't able to contain this power.
Lin Feng's expression was plain as he stared at Xuan Shang and Shen Yuan calmly.
And then, he slashed down with his sword.
The sword roared through the sky, and the entire Greater World – both the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses, grew dim. The sky grew dusk, and voluminous spiritual energy seemed to dry up.
Layer after layer of s.p.a.ce, and even middle worlds were annihilated just like that!
Both Xuan Shang and Shen Yuan were powerful beings at the pinnacle of the Grand Celestial World. The thought that occurred to them both at this moment was a sigh.
At this moment, they could feel that they were faced with the final end of the world.
The Great Void Holy Man and the Shakyamuni heaved a sigh as well.
The Tai Yi Holy Man's face was pale as he stared at the crack in the Greater World. He could see as if the entire Greater World was on its way to absolute apocalypse.
Fortunately, Lin Feng's sword was slas.h.i.+ng towards the two demon emperors and not the Greater World. Otherwise, the Tai Yi Holy Man didn't even want to imagine the outcome.
The Grand Celestial Seven Seas were all trembling in response.
The Black Sea, the Ying Sea, the Void Sea, the Netherworld Sea, the Starry Sea were not turbulent or tumultuous – instead, they were fixed in place.
The waves within the Black Sea frozen solid like statues.
The mists and clouds within the Ying Sea were slack and lackadaisical.
The hurricanes inside the Void Sea were all calmed, and the entire sea reached a state of tranquility like never before.
The calamities and disasters inside the Netherworld Sea were all quietened, and there was an uncanny feeling of peace and silence.
The brilliant stars inside the Starry Sea stopped flickering, and everything suddenly appeared like a painting.
The waves inside the Spirit Sea and the Death Sea torrented like never before, and s.p.a.ce began to twist and tear apart. The great tsunamis of the Spirit Sea and the Death Sea flooded through the void and the Chaos at the same time.
Xuan Shang and Shen Yuan howled into the sky at the same time, before they broke through the Chaos and the void and escaped for their lives.
A sword like this – not even they were willing to test it!
As the sword radiance cut down, a ear-splitting roar could be heard in the Chaos!
The Greater World trembled, the great heavens and the vast earth crumbled. The borders between worlds contorted and tore apart, and the entire world seemed to be reformed.
At this point, the Grand Celestial World seemed to travel back in time, during the ending years of the Primordial Age and the beginning of the Antiquity Age, when the world first separated into two.
