~5 minute read · 1,183 words

“Look quick! Isn’t that the Godly King Taotie over there?”

A palpable tension filled the air. Those gathered at the entrance of the Beast Godly Temple began to tremble, all their gazes fixed on Lin Feng. Some weaker demonic beasts felt an urge to flee, but they dared not, frozen in place with pale faces…

A few bolder beasts dared to speak of the Godly King Taotie, while others with powerful backgrounds even dared to meet the Godly King Taotie’s eyes. They were thrilled to witness one of the most formidable Godly Kings!

Little did they know that the real Godly King Taotie was deceased, and the one before them was merely a counterfeit.

All the beasts had miraculously transformed into human form: young men, middle-aged men, old men; each one stared at Lin Feng with sheer terror in their eyes, instinctively retreating.

Lin Feng’s brow furrowed as he bellowed, “Everyone, halt! If anyone dares to move again, I will kill them!” A terrifying Qi surged forth, making the beasts feel as if they were being pricked by needles. The agony was almost unbearable.

“We wouldn’t dare. We wouldn’t dare. Please spare our lives, Godly King!”

“Great Master Godly King, we merely wished not to obstruct your path!”

“Have mercy, Great Master Godly King!” Many beasts pleaded, their eyes welling up with tears.

Lin Feng advanced towards them. They all appeared on the verge of losing control. He couldn’t help but offer a wry smile. In the World of Battles, no one had ever regarded him in such a manner. The Godly King Taotie must have been an exceptionally tyrannical beast, likely accustomed to slaughtering others without mercy!

“Hehe, Taotie, you’ve arrived as well!”

Just as Lin Feng was preparing to summon his own taotie, a formidable Qi erupted. Lin Feng frowned. His true desire was to obliterate the newcomer in a single strike, but maintaining his guise as the Godly King Taotie, he merely turned and unleashed a punch.

Boom, boom! The impact sent shockwaves of energy rolling outwards for thousands of li. The shadowy figure behind Lin Feng was violently repelled. Lin Feng, in turn, feigned being pushed back a dozen steps. He then raised his gaze to confront his opponent.

Upon seeing him, a profound sense of despair washed over most onlookers! The mere presence of both the Godly King Taotie and this cloaked cultivator filled them with unease!

“Could that be Godly Emperor Ghost? He’s here as well!?”

“Truly terrifying. Two of the top three cultivators have appeared!”

“Godly Emperor Ghost is also known for his impulsive and violent nature. He has been known to slaughter millions of slaves with a single punch when angered.”

“Indeed. Godly King Taotie shares a similar disposition, regularly dispatching millions of slaves. He has also incited the wrath of cultivators from the Beast Clan. Both are monstrously cruel and fearsome figures!”

Murmurs rippled through the crowd at the back. Many individuals turned to observe them with curiosity; their expressions abruptly shifted as they recognized the newcomers as fellow Godly Kings!

Lin Feng and Godly Emperor Ghost exchanged icy glares. Lin Feng had been unaware of their identities initially, but upon overhearing the crowd’s chatter, he gleaned some crucial information about both Godly Emperor Ghost and Godly King Taotie.

It was highly probable they were adversaries; otherwise, Godly Emperor Ghost would not have launched a surprise attack from behind!

“Hmph! Taotie, a century has passed. You have grown considerably stronger. I used to surpass you!” declared Godly Emperor Ghost, his face pale with anger. He had unleashed his full might yet failed to gain any advantage.

Lin Feng’s brow twitched, and he responded with a frigid smile, “I am now powerful enough to eliminate you!”

“Hmph! Such insolence! Dare to try!” Godly Emperor Ghost roared defiantly. He charged at Lin Feng like a frenzied demon. Condensing Qi with manic intensity, he transformed into a dark silhouette, prepared for a mutual destruction if it meant eradicating Godly Emperor Taotie!

The expressions of everyone present contorted in shock. Several Godly Kings wore grim visages. Was this the true extent of Godly Emperor Ghost’s power? It was overwhelmingly terrifying; none among them could possibly contend with him!

Internally, Lin Feng held Godly Emperor Ghost in disdain but projected an appearance of concern. After all, Godly Emperor Ghost possessed power comparable to Godly King Taotie. He needed to exercise caution to avoid exposing his true identity.

Lin Feng leaped forward. His Taotie Qi emanated with immense density. Blood-red Qi billowed outwards for hundreds of li in every direction, causing everyone’s expressions to change dramatically. Contact with that sanguine Qi would result in severe injury or even death!

A mass exodus ensued. Lin Feng, however, ignored them and continued his engagement. He observed Godly Emperor Ghost’s Qi advancing towards him, its nature seemingly absorptive! Lin Feng countered by releasing his own absorptive Qi, which proved even more potent.

“Let’s see how you intend to defeat me!” Godly Emperor Ghost snarled with furious delight.

“My sole purpose is to kill!” Lin Feng retorted. He unleashed two powerful punches, transforming into a colossal, blood-red giant. His formidable absorbing Qi enveloped Godly Emperor Ghost’s own. His fists hurtled towards Godly Emperor Ghost, who swiftly conjured wind energy for defense and retaliated with a punch of his own.

Bam, bam! Boom, boom!

The earth fractured violently, reducing an area spanning a hundred li to utter ruin. Even the primary entrance of the Beast Soul Temple narrowly escaped destruction, thanks to Chi You's reinforcement; however, all surrounding structures were obliterated.

Lin Feng advanced relentlessly, while Godly Emperor Ghost retreated with a deathly pale face, emanating sheer terror.

Against all predictions, the heavens themselves shifted. Hues of violet light materialized, forming colossal hands that shielded Godly Emperor Ghost. Simultaneously, another hand launched a devastating punch towards Godly King Taotie. Lin Feng remained undaunted, recognizing the superior might of the purple hand compared to Godly King Taotie.

A frown creased his brow as he retaliated with a punch, pushing back the violet lights. Seizing this fleeting moment, Lin Feng maneuvered back a hundred paces, feigning a display of nervousness.

Upon witnessing the enormous violet form materializing in the heavens, the assembled crowd's expressions transformed into one of abject horror.

“It’s Godly Emperor Purple Dragon! The most formidable of the three great Godly Kings!” the multitude cried out in unison, their voices laced with dread as the hundred-zhang-tall violet silhouette coalesced into a human shape.

The figure was slender, clad in resplendent purple robes, with celestial Qi swirling around him. He possessed a handsome and captivating countenance, radiating an aura of erudition, yet his presence exuded a terrifying power. He commanded the strength found at the apex of the Earthly Godly Ancestor layer…

Within the entire World of Battles, perhaps only Lin Zu could stand as an equal to such formidable might!

The young prodigies emerging from the Ancestral World were indeed frighteningly powerful!
