Chapter 2673: Heavenly Martial Emperor

How could this be?

Lin Feng was incredibly puzzled by the scene before him. He didn’t know why he could clearly see this battle, as if he were personally present. The booming sounds seemed to echo around him, and he truly didn’t understand what was happening.

"Boom!"

Another loud explosion drew Lin Feng’s attention back to the battlefield. He saw the purple Yuangang Giant Dragon shatter and transform into countless purple crystals, madly flying in all directions. The white-robed elder was also thrown a thousand feet away, while Lin Feng noticed that the black giant was unscathed, not even stepping back. He seemed as though he could never be hurt, emitting a chilling laugh.

Too unbelievable!

Seeing this scene, Lin Feng exclaimed in his heart. He didn’t expect this black giant to be so powerful. The elder, regardless of his aura and moves, was already of the stature of a Divine Emperor, yet he was injured facing this black giant. Who on earth was this opponent, possessing such terrifying strength?

Lin Feng hovered in the air, clearly observing this vast war from above. On the human side were strong individuals above the level of Divine Venerable, even Divine Emperor, and the Demon Beasts were all Demon Emperors. The opposing forces were also very powerful, both sides locked in a life-and-death struggle. The battlefield was filled with Demon Energy, techniques flying across...

"Boom!"

Suddenly, another loud explosion came from afar, and Lin Feng immediately turned his gaze to another direction, where yet another battle was taking place...

He saw an even larger black giant than before standing atop a mountain, emanating a terrifying dark red aura. His whole body was encased in armor, even his head, with only two scarlet eyes visible, emitting a red-cold light that sent a chill down one’s spine. He watched the battle below, as if he were a leader, surveying everything disdainfully from the mountain.

On the other side, a giant Demon Beast several hundred feet high and thousands of feet long, resembling the Skyfire Kirin Beast, its whole body ablaze with golden flames and radiating a dazzling golden light, transformed into a blazing fireball and charged toward the black giant, descending from the sky like a golden meteor, tracing a golden path through the air...

This Demon Beast’s terrifying aura spread over millions of miles, with the intense golden Demon Energy dyeing the space a golden yellow. Its extreme heat seared the space, causing spatial rifts to appear...

At the moment when the Demon Beast was about to strike the black giant, black smoke billowed from the giant’s body. He planted his enormous feet on the mountain peak, instantly causing black flames to soar into the sky. The mountain spanning hundreds of miles immediately collapsed, surrounded by an intimidating black aura. In an instant, black smoke covered tens of thousands of miles.

"Boom!"

A black flame collided with a golden blaze in the air, generating a strong shockwave that spread outward, instantly affecting hundreds of thousands of miles. The sky trembled violently due to the loud noise, and all the mountain peaks on the ground were destroyed, the earth splitting into countless fissures, with the dust rising a hundred feet high.

Everyone paused, looking toward the sky, seeing two blazing fires flying outward. The giant Demon Beast flew thousands of feet away, creating a massive pit hundreds of miles wide upon impact. As it landed, fissures rapidly spread outward from where the beast hit the ground.

The black giant, however, merely retreated a few dozen feet in the air before stabilizing and then flew back to the mountain to continue observing the battle...

This was only a small part of this battle, where countless giants and Myriad Heavens Divine Realm’s Divine Emperors and Demon Emperors were clashing within tens or even hundreds of thousands of miles. In the sky, various Demon Energies, Yuangang, and terrifying black auras mingled together, the scene chaotic and devastating...

How could they be so powerful!

The scene before Lin Feng was deeply shocking. He couldn’t believe this race could be so strong. Looking at the miserable battlefield in front of him and the indescribably powerful black giant, with even Divine Emperors and Demon Emperors gaining no advantage in fighting it, he couldn’t comprehend when this war had happened. There was no record in any of the books he had read. The black giant was clearly not a race from Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. Where did they come from, and why did they attack Myriad Heavens Divine Realm?

As Lin Feng was pondering, he suddenly felt a breeze beside him, and a Divine Soul emitting a faint golden light appeared next to him. He saw that it was an elderly man with a kindly smile, constructed out of faint golden light, looking at him.

Lin Feng knew this elder had already passed away, but his Divine Soul was still lingering here. He then asked the elder, "Senior, who are you?"

"Others refer to me as the Heavenly Martial Emperor." The old man revealed a faint smile as he spoke to Lin Feng. Actually, the moment he saw Lin Feng, he already sensed that Lin Feng was his destined inheritor. However, he didn’t expect someone so young could arrive at this Undersea Secret Realm.

"Is this yours, senior?" Lin Feng saw the Heavenly Martial Emperor looking at him with a mysterious smile and continued to inquire, as he didn’t understand the purpose behind constructing this place and why so many obstacles were set earlier.

"This is the place I left behind for inheritance." The Heavenly Martial Emperor replied while looking at Lin Feng: "Young man, you’re quite remarkable to make it here, meeting my criteria."

Before his death, he set up layer upon layer of formations and challenges. Those who can unravel the formations and answer the questions must be courageous and wise. To defeat the Skyfire Kirin Beast in strength, they have met his requirements, so he nodded in satisfaction at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked surprised at the Heavenly Martial Emperor. He never thought he would be so lucky to become the inheritor of the Divine Emperor. This meant the Heavenly Martial Emperor would impart all his lifelong knowledge to him, which equates to a significant shortcut on the path of cultivation, making him very happy.

However, he didn’t rush to ask about this matter. Seeing such a scene must be an event from countless years ago. He suddenly thought of the Skyfire Kirin Beast, given that the Heavenly Martial Emperor’s Divine Soul had been waiting here for countless years. How could the Divine Beast still be alive? He then voiced his doubt: "Senior, the guardian beast I encountered earlier..."

"I sealed the Skyfire Kirin Beast with a special barrier at the brink of death, only to be unsealed when someone appeared," the Heavenly Martial Emperor answered before Lin Feng could finish his question.

Lin Feng nodded after hearing this and looked at the battlefield below, where both sides were still fighting bloodily, and curiously asked, "Senior, what exactly is happening here?"

"Countless years ago, the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm underwent a great catastrophe. At that time, I also hid here due to severe injuries and established this place. This scroll is what I recorded, intended to remind myself and to tell my inheritor what truly happened back then." The Heavenly Martial Emperor spoke calmly, his emotions unperturbed, as if narrating a story from a very long time ago.

Having gone through this battle, he had comprehended many things. He thought of passing down all his lifelong knowledge, though his physical body had vanished, his Divine Soul had waited here all along. One day someone would enter, yet this wait turned out to be tens of millions of years longer than expected. If the inheritance took place, his Divine Soul would also vanish. Still, he could depart contentedly.

Staring at what unfolded before him, he was deeply shocked, not anticipating the immense losses of Divine Emperors in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm due to the battle of countless years ago. Who exactly bore such deep hatred against the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm? He continued to ask, "Who are the opponents in battle?"

Lin Feng had never seen what race the opponents were, certainly not human, nor demon beasts. Whether in the Lower Realm or the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, he had never encountered such beings, resembling Ancient Giants, with naked upper bodies, robust bones, exuding dense black mist all over, wearing half masks showing their sharp teeth, and masks with huge horns, making them extremely terrifying.

"People from the Demon Domain," the Heavenly Martial Emperor replied to Lin Feng, without offering much explanation. After all these years, he’s unaware of the current state of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, nor does he know if the Demon Clan still exists. That battle saw heavy Demon Clan casualties, and many Divine Emperors were injured or even killed, with the surviving ones going into hiding. Therefore, telling Lin Feng more about the Demon Clan was of no use.

Demon Domain?

Lin Feng looked puzzled at the Heavenly Martial Emperor, as he had never heard of the Demon Domain. This race seemed not to belong to the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, but where did they come from, and why did they invade the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm? The Heavenly Martial Emperor did not explain.

"You’ll find out in due time." With a faint smile, the Heavenly Martial Emperor drifted in front of Lin Feng and asked, "Are you willing to accept my inheritance?"

Looking at Lin Feng, he inexplicably felt connected to this young man. When his physical body was about to perish, he established this place intending to wait for someone to enter and accept his inheritance. Even if his Divine Soul ceased to exist post-inheritance, it didn’t matter.

"I am willing!" Lin Feng earnestly responded to the Heavenly Martial Emperor. To him, this was a rare opportunity, and receiving the inheritance of a Divine Emperor was something few could encounter in their lifetime.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the Heavenly Martial Emperor nodded in satisfaction. Instantly, his Divine Soul transformed into a strand of golden light and shot into Lin Feng’s brow...

Lin Feng suddenly felt the scenery change before him, as if his consciousness were traveling through space. He clearly felt himself falling from a great height, surrounded by golden radiance, constantly descending until he reached an open area, void of anything, with golden light encasing all sides. A golden figure approached, upon approach, it turned out to be the Heavenly Martial Emperor.

"What is this place, senior?" Lin Feng asked curiously. How could accepting the inheritance lead back here, and at that moment, the Heavenly Martial Emperor was no longer in the Divine Soul state but stood beside him like a person emitting golden light.

"In your consciousness space," replied the Heavenly Martial Emperor, his voice becoming ethereal and echoing around as if it were a reverberation in this space.
