“You…”

Zhou Yan’s smile came to an abrupt halt. He suddenly realized that he could not move his body. The method that had always worked just now had actually stopped working now.

He even realized that this mysterious young man’s gaze was not on him, but behind him.

“Come out. Do you actually want me to invite you out?” Lin Feng said calmly.

In reality, the reason he attacked was that he had already found the one he was looking for, that fiend!

Zhou Yan was just a puppet, and not worth mentioning.

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, a beautiful woman gradually appeared behind Zhou Yan. As soon as she appeared, it was as if the dim hall lit up.

Even the old and prudent Marshal Quilin could not help but be shocked.

She was simply too beautiful, even breathtakingly so, as if this beauty did not belong to the mortal world.

“Empress, you…”

A trace of shock appeared on Marshal Quilin’s face. He could not believe that it was actually the empress. He would sooner believe that the fiend was Emperor Zhou Yan than believe that it was the empress!

The empress of the Blue River Empire did not appear often, but she left a very good impression. She was very virtuous and, and even assisted Emperor Zhou Yan.

Every time someone made a major mistake, and Zhou Yan wanted to convict and kill someone, the Empress would persuade Zhou Yan otherwise. It had saved countless people.

How could such a gentle and virtuous empress be an incomparably hideous and savage fiend?

“Empress, save me. Save me now.” Zhou Yan shouted, a trace of fear appearing in his eyes.

However, at this moment, the empress ignored Zhou Yan. She only stared at Lin Feng, frowned, and said slowly, “A disciple of the Divine Palace of Bemond?”

“That’s right. If you dare to act in the Bemond Galaxy, you have to be prepared for us to come looking for you.”

Lin Feng could sense a surging and terrifying power in this empress’ body. It was as if once it erupted, the entire Blue River Imperial Planet would be reduced to ashes.

“Just a bit more. Just a bit more, and I would have metamorphosed into a planetary lifeform… Those who stand in my way of cultivation are irreconcilable enemies!”

The empress’s expression had already turned sinister. She glanced at Zhou Yan and opened her mouth wide, actually devouring Zhou Yan directly. This scene was a huge shock to Marshal Quilin, Chen Feng, and the others.

This was a fiend, a genuine fiend!

“A mere fiend with five life transitions sure has a lot of tricks.”

Lin Feng raised his brows. This fiend had only undergone five life transitions, but the damage she had caused was not inferior to the Black Dragon Cult leader’s at all. In particular, although the other party was not strong, she began to use her intelligence to control the emperor of the Blue River Empire. Then, she used the emperor’s authority to constantly wage wars, so that she could devour countless intelligent lifeforms.

What a nefarious method and scheme!

“Why couldn’t you show up a little later? If you had shown up a little later, I would have undergone metamorphosis and become a planetary lifeform. Then, I would have devoured the Blue River Imperial Star and destroyed this civilization. I was just a little away from success. It’s you who destroyed my centuries of hard work!”

The empress’s expression was completely twisted. There was no sense of beauty left at all.

“You’ve been lurking in the Blue River Empire for centuries?”

“That’s right. Centuries of hard work, now destroyed in an instant. How could I not resent it?”

“You resent it? Don’t the billions of living beings you devoured not feel resentment? I’m a little curious. How did you impersonate the empress?”

“Impersonate? I’m not impersonating anyone at all. I’ve been operating in the Blue River Empire for centuries, and long cleared my identity and developed for several generations. Hence, this identity of mine is genuine. Is it that hard to be chosen as the empress and confuse that fool Zhou Yan with a little tactic?

“My plan is very perfect, but unfortunately, the strength of the Blue River Empire is still lacking. In a hundred years, it only conquered dozens of territorial planets. In the beginning, I only obtained the legacy of fiends, and did not even undergo one life transition. But now, I’ve undergone five life transitions in succession. I’m just a little away from six life transitions and becoming a planetary lifeform. I cannot accept this. I really cannot accept this. However, there’s still a chance. I’ll devour you and everyone on the Blue River Imperial Planet. Then, it’ll probably be enough for me to undergo metamorphosis.”

Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. It turned out that this fiend had only obtained the legacy of fiends, but could already undergo five life transitions and almost six life transitions in just a few hundred years.

This was just too astonishing.

Although Lin Feng had also only used a few decades to attain five life transitions, how many fortuitous encounters had he had? How many hardships had he experienced?

As for this fiend?

Just by using the muddle-headed Zhou Yan to launch wars of conquest one after another, and then constantly devouring the living beings on the conquered planets, she could undergo metamorphosis continuously.

Moreover, there was no bottleneck in the cultivation of fiends. In fact, if she devoured the lifeforms on one or two more planets, she might be able to undergo six life transitions and become a planetary lifeform.

As for those cultivators in the lower district of the Divine Palace?

They were still struggling in the lower district, still working hard, hoping to obtain more resources and advance to the middle district.

Even the disciples of the middle district wanted to advance to the upper district, but six life transitions were like a natural chasm that they could only dream of.

However, it was precisely because of this that fiends deserved to be killed even more!

They had to devour intelligent lifeforms from dozens of planets just for the goal of becoming a planetary lifeform. If they became a planetary lifeform, they would probably devour hundreds of planets.

Fiends were ten thousand times more terrifying than locusts!

“Die!”

Lin Feng slammed his palm down. His palm quickly expanded, almost enveloping the entire hall in the end, leaving the empress with nowhere to run.

However, at this moment, the empress gave a peculiar smile.

“Foolish cultivator. Do you think I’ve been sitting on my hands for centuries? If I were anywhere else, I would probably have fled without hesitation. But I didn’t flee. Hasn’t that made you notice anything? Enjoy. This array is specially prepared for self-righteous cultivators like you. When I devour everyone in the Blue River Imperial Planet and transform into a planetary lifeform, that will be the time you die! Hahaha.”

The empress stared coldly at Lin Feng, then flew out of the palace.

Moreover, the empress deployed a combat body that exceeded 200 kilometers. Even among those lifeforms with five life transitions in the middle district, it was quite impressive.

As Lin Feng’s palm struck down, it was as if countless iridescent rays converged into a terrifying restraining force that bound Lin Feng’s palm tightly.

“Array?”

Lin Feng scanned with his mental power and realized that the so-called array was actually using the power of the entire planet. No matter how strong Lin Feng was, he would be channeling this power into the planet.

This was an array that could only trap people. However, if this went on for too long, and the empress really devoured everyone on the Blue River Imperial Planet, things would be bad.

It seemed like Lin Feng had underestimated this fiend. However, the empress had also underestimated Lin Feng!
