Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Confrontation, the Opportunity for a Breakthrough
"Lin Feng."
The two words were slowly spoken from Lin Feng’s lips. His eyes were calm. Facing the Asura God’s questioning, he showed not the slightest fear, but rather an air of indifference and composure.
The Asura God was burning with rage. He had never expected someone to be so bold as to not only kill his successor but also to be so calm and composed in his presence.
"Lin Feng, do you know what a great crime you have committed!" His voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire space.
"A great crime? I was merely cleaning up some trash. You arbitrarily lent divine power to Tang San, and have long been excessively interfering in the affairs of the lower realm. As the law enforcer of the Divine Realm, your crime is even greater. You! You are the one who has committed a great crime!"
The Asura God finally materialized his form. The yin and yang qi flowed in Lin Feng’s eyes, and he had already seen through the Asura God before him: a divine sense phantom, similar to the one the Sea God had left in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. The difference was that this divine sense was controlled by its master in the Divine Realm, unlike the Sea God’s divine sense in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which was disconnected from its main body.
Its strength was at the level of a First-Class God.
"The height of arrogance! Do you wish to test if my Asura Demon Sword is sharp?"
The Asura Demon Sword, stuck diagonally in the ground, suddenly trembled. The scarlet light on its body grew even more dazzling as it flew into his hand of its own accord. Instantly, a sharp sword intent shot to the clouds. Red light filled the sky, and a berserk killing aura spread out, seeming to freeze the entire space. The sky dimmed, and dark clouds gathered.
"My sword is not without its edge either!"
From the horizon, a golden sword light cut across the sky, directly dispersing the pervading killing aura. The sacred golden light and the scarlet sword gleam collided in mid-air, creating a deafening roar.
"Omm~~~"
The world fell silent for a moment, leaving only the two sword gleams confronting each other in mid-air, one gold and one red, like day and night intertwined.
In the next instant, starting from the point of their clash, a terrifying energy storm suddenly erupted. The golden sword light and the scarlet light of the demon sword entangled and tore at each other.
This old site, where the Clear Sky Clan had been for hundreds of years, was directly torn to pieces by this energy storm. The main peak collapsed with a roar, buildings crumbled, rubble flew, and dust filled the air.
Those Clear Sky Clan disciples who had just been annihilated by Tang San, along with him and Tang Hao, were all buried together under these ruins.
"The Angel God!"
The Asura God’s face turned extremely ugly. He naturally knew that the Angel God’s position had a successor, and that she had incomprehensibly inherited the god’s position and become a deity. But he had not expected to encounter her on this trip to the lower realm, and from the looks of it, she was coming for him.
Crucially, what’s with the killing intent in your eyes? The one I killed was the first generation, not you!
Peak of a Second-Class God. He quickly judged Qian Renxue’s strength. To have just inherited the god’s position and skipped the stages of God Official and Third-Class God to directly reach the peak of a Second-Class God—such talent and potential, even he had to take it seriously.
But what made him most gloomy was Qian Renxue’s appearance. It was ninety percent similar to the appearance of the first-generation Angel God he had harmed back then!
"Hmph, your presence is not bad, but your strength is a bit weak. A Second-Class God dares to block me? Get lost!"
The Asura God roared, and the Asura Demon Sword in his hand suddenly swung out. A vast wave of Asura divine power crashed towards Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue was momentarily outmatched and was sent flying by this powerful force, but she quickly stabilized herself. Lin Feng supported her from behind.
Golden True Qi surged from Lin Feng’s palm, continuously flowing into Qian Renxue’s body, helping her resist the invasion of the Asura divine power while also imbuing her with a mightier divine power.
In the Asura God’s eyes, the sacred aura of this new generation’s Angel God was constantly climbing. The golden light grew more dazzling, and the six angelic wings slowly unfolded behind her, as radiant as the sun.
The Angelic Holy Sword was held horizontally before Qian Renxue’s chest. The tip of the sword lightly touched the ground, releasing rings of golden ripples that forced back the surrounding Asura divine power one by one. The Asura Domain that the Asura God had just released was gradually being eroded by these golden ripples. The Angel Domain and the Asura Domain began to clash fiercely.
Peak of a Second-Class God.
First-Class God!
Qian Renxue’s aura quickly climbed to a whole new height. Having been at a disadvantage in her initial clash with the Asura God, she could now contend with him as an equal.
"This... how is this possible." A trace of disbelief flashed in the Asura God’s eyes. The other party was clearly at the cultivation level of a Second-Class God, so why could she erupt with power far beyond her realm? Although the gods of the Divine Realm also had the ability to challenge those of higher levels, it was usually on the premise of having a deep understanding and mastery of their divine skills, divine artifacts, or divine laws, and it was often only a jump of a small sub-realm. A situation like Qian Renxue’s, directly jumping from the peak of a Second-Class God to being able to contend with a First-Class God, was so rare you could count the instances on one hand. He did not remember the Angel God’s divine skills having such an effect.
He lowered his gaze slightly and looked at Lin Feng beside Qian Renxue. "A fine move."
Lin Feng laughed. "You might not believe it, but I’m actually a support-type soul master."
The Asura God’s expression was as calm as an old well, but his eyes looked at Lin Feng as if he were a fool.
Lin Feng said nothing. After completely transferring his True Qi, he stood shoulder to shoulder with Qian Renxue high in the sky.
He formed a sword sign with one hand and gently pointed out. Instantly, the surrounding origin energy of heaven and earth seemed to be pulled by something and gathered towards them.
"Sword, come."
Lin Feng let out a low shout. As his words fell, an invisible sword hum seemed to fill the world. Immediately after, a transparent longsword condensed from pure origin energy, carrying a sharp sword intent, floated in front of Lin Feng.
Invisible to the eye, its movement is unknown to what it touches. It vanishes into boundlessness, passing through things without them noticing.
It was the Ice God Sword—Hanguang. As the true master of the Ice God Sword, although Lin Feng had entrusted it to the Snow Empress, he had long since deciphered all of its structure. Relying on the sword’s pattern imprint, he could at any time condense this origin energy sword which possessed ninety percent of the original’s power.
"The Ice God Sword! How is that possible?"
The Asura God’s expression instantly changed. The Ice God, the First-Class God who had chosen to flee to the lower realm during the Divine Realm’s purge of the remaining beast gods and had been executed by the Divine Realm. There had been no trace of her since her fall. Where had this Lin Feng found the Ice God Sword? Although it was a projection-like technique and not the real body, he did not believe it was a coincidence.
Moreover, one of the reasons he had not chosen to attack Lin Feng first but instead met Qian Renxue’s attack was that Lin Feng’s aura was too strange. Even under his perception now, the other party had no soul power or divine power fluctuations at all, and his whole person was like a mortal. This made a sense of vigilance rise in his heart. The other party’s strength was either higher than this divine sense projection of his, making it impossible for him to see through, or he was hiding a special power.
The former was immediately rejected by him. He was the Asura God, a God-King of the Divine Realm. Even a divine sense phantom on the Asura Demon Sword was far superior to an ordinary First-Class God’s strength. How could someone from the lower realm cultivate to this level? But then again, he himself didn’t quite believe his own judgment.
The Divine Realm’s Central Hub had no information on him. He had heard his name in the City of Slaughter. Calculating his age, he should be around twenty. If he had really reached the level of a First-Class God by relying on his own cultivation, that would be too terrifying. The rules of the Douluo Star were ineffective on him. This was not logical, unless he had chosen a new cultivation path. But the will of the Douluo Star’s plane actually hadn’t chosen to view him as a hidden danger and suppress him?
Chaotic information flashed through the Asura God’s mind, but he had no time to think further, because the situation before him no longer allowed him to be distracted.
"Asura God, gods are not allowed to descend to the lower realm to interfere. As the law enforcer of the Divine Realm, you have repeatedly broken the rules. Since you’ve come, then stay!"
Before Lin Feng’s words had faded, the surrounding origin energy, as if responding to his call, began to surge wildly, forming huge vortices of origin energy.
"Ten Thousand Miles of Ice Seal!"
Lin Feng murmured. As his words fell, the surging origin energy instantly condensed into ice, turning into a sky full of frost that swept towards the Asura God. Within the range of the Ten Thousand Miles of Ice Seal, everything was frozen, and even the air seemed to have solidified.
The Asura God snorted coldly. The Asura Demon Sword in his hand waved, and the scarlet sword gleam collided with the frost, making "crackling" sounds, as if even space was being torn apart by this powerful force.
"Asura Heaven-Slaughtering Annihilation!"
The Asura Demon Sword was held upright before him. Rings of blood-red light erupted from around his body and spread out. The blood-red light carried an endless killing and destructive intent and collided with Lin Feng’s Ten Thousand Miles of Ice Seal. Two completely different powers intertwined and fought in the air, producing a violent explosion.
"Boom—"
The entire space trembled violently under the impact of this force, as if it were about to collapse. Frost and blood gleam intertwined, and the energy storm produced by the collision was like a giant dragon in a gale, raging wantonly.
Now the land of the Clear Sky Clan was truly gone, and a group of disciples had died without a burial place.
From that boundless energy storm, the Asura God charged out.
His face was covered in frost, and his body was wounded by Lin Feng’s "Ten Thousand Miles of Ice Seal." Bloody gashes cut across his skin, making him look a bit ferocious, but his eyes were still as hot as flames.
"Hahaha— Lin Feng, you truly excite me."
The Asura God laughed loudly, his voice full of madness and fighting spirit. "I, the Asura God, have fought all my life and have never met such an interesting opponent. You are worthy of my full effort!"
Before his words had faded, the Asura God’s body once again erupted with an even stronger blood-red light. His wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his entire presence climbed again, as if the previous injuries had only made him angrier, more frenzied.
"Asura Domain: Boundless Sea of Blood!"
The Asura God roared. As his words fell, the entire space seemed to be submerged in an endless sea of blood. In that sea of blood, countless resentful souls wailed, and the aura of slaughter and destruction was so thick it was at its peak, as if it would swallow the entire world.
"Asura Blood Prison of Silence!"
A dark red sea of blood connected the sky and the earth, dyeing and sealing the surrounding space. The Asura God, set against the sea of blood, appeared even more majestic and terrifying. He raised the Asura Demon Sword high, its tip aimed at Lin Feng and Qian Renxue.
"Come!"
"As you wish." ×2
Lin Feng threw the Hanguang sword into the void and formed a seal with his hands.
"Vast Sky of Ten Thousand Miles, Sword Sweeps Mountains and Rivers!"
"Zheng—"
One Hanguang sword vanished, and ten thousand sword lights appeared! As Lin Feng’s words fell, the Hanguang sword that was hidden in the void seemed to have transformed into thousands of sword shadows. Each sword shadow contained an extremely sharp sword intent, and they rained down on the Asura God like an overwhelming tide.
"Angel, Judgment!"
A giant golden angel phantom, identical to Qian Renxue, appeared behind her. The Angelic Holy Sword was raised high, and a huge golden pillar of light, condensed from the judgment light released by the sun, descended from the sky, smashing down on the Asura God.
The scorching hot golden pillar of light and the sky full of sword shadows fell on the Asura God at the same time.
There was no wind-up; they were all instant-cast skills. This caused the Asura God to take the full brunt of the attack.
He, who had been laughing wildly, let out a muffled grunt, and his entire person was as if smashed into the ground by an invisible giant force. The Asura Demon Sword was plunged into the earth’s crust, stirring up rings of earthy yellow ripples.
"Pfft—"
The Asura God spat out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to get up from the ground, looking a bit battered as he looked at Lin Feng again. A support-type soul master? I’d have to be a fool to believe you!
"This level of power is definitely not just a First-Class God. What exactly are you?"
As he spoke, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with difficulty. For the first time, a truly grave look appeared in his eyes.
The sacred fire of the angel restrained him to some extent. This was one of the reasons why he had chosen to act back then. Looking at it now, the strength of this new Angel God was far beyond his expectations. And this one called Lin Feng, how had he cultivated to this point! He was almost at the level of a God-King! Who knew if he had even used his full strength just now?
His expression changed constantly, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
The Asura God thought it over and over, slightly adjusted the Asura Demon Sword in his hand, and retracted his attacking stance.
"Lin Feng, you are very strong. Perhaps there were some misunderstandings between us before, but how about we stop today’s matter here? You do not have a god’s position yet. I can promise you the position of a First-Class God. If it is possible, you can even try to take over my position."
Lin Feng sneered, "Sorry, I’m not interested."
The Asura God’s brow was tightly locked. "This is the position of a God-King!"
He suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Lin Feng in disbelief. "You want to create your own god’s position? Do you know the improvement after creating your own god’s position..."
The Asura God stopped speaking. Creating one’s own god’s position required time to increase one’s own power and raise the rank of the god’s position. Generally speaking, those who created their own god’s position started a bit lower, but their potential was huge. But this guy before him was already almost a God-King without a god’s position. Was that a low start?
"No need to say more, Asura. Since you’ve come, then stay."
The Asura God felt an inexplicable wave of anger. He was the great God-King of the Divine Realm. To have lowered himself to speak to him nicely, yet he was still intent on killing him? Did he really think he had a good temper?
"Lin Feng, don’t go too far! Don’t think I’m really afraid of you!" the Asura God roared, his presence climbing again. Blood-red divine power wrapped around him, and several divine rings circled his body.
"Xue’er, you step aside."
Qian Renxue nodded and retreated a little further.
Lin Feng looked down on the Asura God. "Asura, for the enmity of the Angel God and the Ice God, I will collect a bit of interest from you today. This divine sense of yours will die here."
"Insolent!" The Asura God’s eyes were blood-red.
"You are the insolent one!"
Lin Feng roared, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already above the Asura God’s head.
"Five-Colored Divine Light!"
A brilliant five-colored light, intertwining with each other, formed a terrifying torrent of energy that brushed towards the Asura God.
The Asura God only felt his own divine power beginning to gradually disintegrate under this five-colored divine light.
Before he could counter, he heard another roar from Lin Feng.
"Reversing Yin and Yang!"
Instantly, the Asura God’s divine sense phantom could not even circulate its own divine power. He looked in shock at the yin-yang fish patterns above his head and below his feet.
The yin-yang fish patterns suddenly accelerated their rotation. The terrifying yin and yang qi and True Qi directly enveloped the Asura God’s divine sense phantom and began to violently tear and grind it. The Asura God felt as if his divine sense had been placed in a giant millstone and was being mercilessly ground.
"Ah—"
The Asura God let out a painful roar. He tried with all his might to break free from the shackles of this power, but no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the terrifying power of Reversing Yin and Yang. His divine sense phantom began to blur, and the divine power on his body was also rapidly dissipating.
"Lin Feng, how dare you do this to me!" the Asura God roared, his voice already carrying a hint of despair and unwillingness.
Lin Feng looked at the Asura God coldly, a cold glint in his eyes. "Asura, you brought this upon yourself."
"Aargh— You wait for my main..."
The Asura God’s voice became intermittent in the intense pain. His divine sense phantom had been torn to shreds by the power of Reversing Yin and Yang.
Lin Feng watched with a deadpan expression as the Asura God dissipated into the air. The yin and yang qi before his eyes merged with each other, hidden in a single point, and slowly dissipated. Everything returned to peace.
His brow was slightly furrowed. He touched the back of his neck. After using Reversing Yin and Yang again, he did not have the feeling of weakness from the last time. Nor were there any after-effects of self-damage.
On the contrary, he had gained some enlightenment. Looking at the point of light where the yin and yang power had just dissipated, he thought, the opportunity for a breakthrough had arrived.
