Chapter 2497: Final Battles (Part One)

Edited by RED

Circumstances across the Continent of the Nine Clouds grew ever more captivating.

Feng Mo, Icefire, and the Demon Shrine stood as the three supreme overlords, dominating powers. Chu Chun Qiu, Kong Ming, Mo Zheng, along with various other prodigies, continued shining brilliantly. Lin Feng alone had vanished completely.

Icefire awaited the arrival of Lin Feng’s clone. Sure enough, his silhouette emerged high in the skies. Yet this time, Lin Feng refrained from striking. Instead, he declared to Icefire, “Icefire, I will come here with my real body in three months, and I will kill you.”

With that, the clone departed. Icefire stood frozen in shock. Then, a chilling grin spread across his face as he vowed, “In three months, the Forbidden Body will vanish from existence!”

Abruptly, yin and yang Qi surged skyward. Celestial lights flickered overhead, prompting countless onlookers to gaze upward in awe at the startling display.

“A pivotal shift, guided by Heaven’s will!” Icefire’s brow furrowed. Could a deity truly emerge three months hence?

“Ahhh!” Icefire roared impatiently. He could hardly contain himself! Was his ascension to godhood finally at hand?!

———

Word of the divine lights illuminating the heavens rapidly circulated through the Continent of the Nine Clouds, the Supreme Animal World, and beyond. Throngs began converging upon the Supreme Shrine. In just three months, the Forbidden Body would clash with Icefire. Might a god truly arise?

Excitement gripped the Shrine Leaders, for they too harbored dreams of godhood! That dream had always driven them. Yet recent suppressions left them pondering how to grasp this opportunity.

The Continent of the Nine Clouds buzzed with fervor. Kings from the Supreme Animal World halted their infighting and journeyed over as well. Even without claiming divinity themselves, they yearned to witness the chosen one!

———

Days slipped by swiftly. Merely seven days remained until the showdown.

A colossal, majestic mountain summit plummeted from above, settling beside the Supreme Shrine. Dense celestial Qi enveloped the area, while a solitary figure perched atop it like an indomitable champion. Zi Zhu and his fellow disciples flanked him. His true identity stood revealed: Feng Mo!

———

Four more days elapsed, leaving only three before the confrontation. Yet another peak materialized from the clouds, this one a foreboding demon mountain. An imperial palace crowned its summit, housing the slumbering unparalleled Demon King, whom none dared rouse.

———

The final day dawned, bringing forth the Leaders of the Supreme Animal World. Kong Ming and Mo Zheng made their appearances too.

———

Icefire positioned himself atop a grand staircase, surrounded by a host of transcendent Saints. The spectacle was breathtaking, almost otherworldly.

Below those towering mountains and structures, multitudes observed from afar on the ground. Though barred from joining, their thrill was palpable. No one wished to overlook a god’s emergence!

In the distance, a band of formidable cultivators emerged. Their forefront figure donned pristine white robes, exuding handsomeness, warmth, kindness, and regal poise in equal measure.

“The Forbidden Body, Lin Feng!”

“He has arrived! Is this his true form at last?”

All eyes fixed upon Lin Feng. His power remained an enigma, veiled from sight.

Lin Feng ignored Feng Mo entirely, sparing no glance for the demon court. His gaze locked solely on Icefire.

“What a gathering of supreme Saints! Lin Feng must have shielded them all! Hou Qing Lin is there too, his sworn brother. Who’s that icy figure in black? And that youth clutching the Dazzling Gold Shrine’s Sky Destroying Sword!” The observers shuddered at the revelations.

Lin Feng swiftly reached the staircase’s base. The central platform sprawled immensely. Scanning the assembly, he proclaimed darkly, “Today, any who obstruct me shall perish!”

“Back then, I struck you with yin and yang, so you likely haven’t fully healed,” Icefire remarked indifferently.

“Recovery or not, it changes nothing. Today, you die!” Lin Feng retorted, unleashing a terrifying Qi as he advanced.

“Die!” Icefire snapped icily. The masses quaked before Lin Feng’s menace, yet Icefire instilled even greater dread!

Fierce gales whipped up, the atmosphere howling. Scores of figures materialized—each a Lin Feng!

Feng Mo’s gaze sharpened with insight. Lin Feng had conjured a multitude of clones!

“Time, standstill!” Lin Feng commanded. Temporality halted, allowing Hou Qing Lin and his weapon-wielding allies to close in. Onlookers scowled. Lin Feng could selectively freeze time; Icefire would find himself helpless!

Lin Feng spared no look for others, striding directly toward Icefire.

Yin and yang Qi encircled Lin Feng, streaking like bolts of lightning. It coalesced into a tempestuous hurricane, bearing down oppressively.

“Time.” Lin Feng surged forward in acceleration, his clones mirroring him. Time energies erupted from them collectively. The clones struck in unison, their assault a dazzling spectacle. The yin and yang gale shattered explosively!

“Impressive!” Icefire sneered frostily. Vast yin and yang Qi eclipsed the firmament. Darkness descended as the energies morphed into colossal millstones. Those below sensed imminent doom.

“Seal!” one clone intoned. The yin and yang whirlwind began to congeal, only for the energies to burst free.

Lin Feng’s authentic form soared upward, godlike, unleashing Ruler’s Godly Imprints. The yin and yang onslaught clashed fiercely against them.

“Empty Space Fissures!” a clone cried.

“Celestial Earth Canyons!” another bellowed, hammering the yin and yang forces. Thunder boomed, and the assault finally disintegrated.

Icefire smirked coldly, declaring, “Knowing it’s your true body, I’ll eradicate it first!”

A maelstrom of ultimate yin and yang energies manifested, shredding surrounding forces before coiling into a serpentine dragon hurtling at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng confronted Icefire without flinching. The heavens and earth quaked relentlessly, as if apocalypse loomed. Explosions rent the space around them, crumbling the Shrine beneath in ruin.

“Yin and yang embody the cosmos—perish!” Titanic yin and yang Qi surged overwhelmingly at Lin Feng.

Absorptive vortices sprang up encircling Lin Feng. He grinned widely. “My gratitude!”

Lin Feng endured the barrage as a lethal Ruler’s Godly Imprints strike materialized elsewhere. Icefire whirled, countering with a fist. His yin and yang might could annihilate all creation!

“Real body illusion!” the crowd gasped in awe, trembling. Lin Feng crafting illusions of his true self—utterly astonishing!

“Even when convinced it’s genuine, it deceives! Lin Feng’s insights are unparalleled, his understanding unmatched,” Kong Ming conceded quietly. Distinguishing the real Lin Feng proved impossible now!

Another form devoured yin and yang Qi before shattering. His primary body kept transforming. Spectators realized Lin Feng deliberately absorbed the yin and yang Qi!

Icefire grasped this too, yet pressed on relentlessly. He must slay Lin Feng!

One of Lin Feng’s prime clones detonated thunderously. Icefire scanned in disbelief, finding no trace of the true body—only clones everywhere.

“Lin Feng!” Icefire bellowed, shaking the firmament with fury. Yin and yang Qi churned chaotically around him.

Shock gripped Icefire as a distant hand advanced. A hazy figure flickered within a remote illusory realm.

“His true body. It hadn’t arrived yet! Illusions all along!”

The masses beheld yin and yang Qi swirling furiously about him. Lin Feng had battled Icefire extensively to master yin and yang Qi. Madness!

“How much more time?” a celestial voice inquired.

Lin Feng answered, “Nearly finished. A bit longer suffices.”

“Die!” Icefire thundered in rage. His yin and yang Qi whipped into a ferocious hurricane, rampaging outward indiscriminately.

The illusion quivered, eroded by yin and yang Qi. A cataclysmic rumble echoed as space imploded, unveiling Lin Feng. The yin and yang vortex roared toward him, warping reality.

In that instant, a figure burst from the Demon Shrine’s imperial court. Saintly Emperor Xi the Demon lunged at Lin Feng. He had exhausted every ploy before to awaken the Demon King via Lin Feng, fusing them after endless efforts. Lin Feng promised return upon gaining strength, yet never came. Force failed too. Now, failure was intolerable!

Chu Chun Qiu surged forth toward Lin Feng as well. But a Buddhist incantation rang out, and Kong Ming intercepted. His Buddha’s halo unfurled, spawning myriad Sakyamuni.

Simultaneously, Mo Zheng darted ahead of Saintly Emperor Xi the Demon.

“Will the Demon Emperor finally battle today?” Mo Zheng the Demoniac Punisher murmured. His cadence mirrored Lin Feng’s precisely, stunning Saintly Emperor Xi the Demon.

Dreadful demon auras erupted from them both. Apocalyptic energy waves crashed around, portending doom!

Saintly Emperor Xi the Demon unleashed a fist brimming with horrific demon Qi. Concurrently, Mo Zheng struck, archaic imprints slashing the skies. Lin Feng wielded Ruler’s Godly Imprints; Mo Zheng commanded Destructive Demon Imprints.

Their assaults collided violently. Death Qi birthed a hurricane, obliterating everything nearby.
