Chapter 342: What Is Your Relationship With Qionghua?
Inside the palace, the officials-both civil and military-watched in astonishment as the golden light stretched over thousands of miles, leaving them in awe.
Some officials were stunned, saying, “This young man can actually force His Majesty to use his domain?”
A young official expressed his concern, “How could this be? In such a short time, His Majesty has already been forced to use his domain. This is bad.”
“Shut up! How could His Majesty lose? If you continue to spread rumors, I’ll personally silence you!” an elderly official scolded.
…
The older officials chastised the young man, but deep down all of them felt uneasy.
How could things have escalated so quickly? They had barely started fighting and already His Majesty was forced to activate the Sacred Fire Domain.
Jun Aoshi looked at the brilliant Sacred Fire Imperial Court Domain in the sky, a barely noticeable smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Let them fight; it doesn’t matter who dies. In the end, there will only be one victor.
And that victor will be me!
Jun Yunshang moved to fly up and stop the battle, but a pale hand landed on her shoulder.
“Princess Yunshang, this battle is His Majesty’s wish. Please do not interfere,” Zhao Ban said expressionlessly.
He kept his eyes on the confused Jun Fengya, ensuring that she didn’t interfere with the fight.
This battle was His Majesty’s will, and no matter the outcome, he would support it to the end.
In mid-air, the Sacred Emperor stood in his domain, holding the fiery red Fire Emperor’s Sword. The surrounding golden flames rose like divine light, making him appear god-like.
Lin Fengmian, who was pushed out of the void by the searing divine fire, stared in shock at the massive domain that stretched for thousands of miles.
“Luo Xue, this guy’s domain is insane!”
Luo Xue replied seriously, “The limit for the Great Ascension Realm domain is ten thousand miles. He hasn’t even used his divine form or divine abilities yet, so be careful!”
Lin Fengmian understood very well. The difference between the Great Ascension Realm and the Void Realm wasn’t just the strength, it was also the divine abilities that could only be used in the Great Ascension Realm.
Even though these divine abilities looked similar to ordinary techniques, they often possessed extraordinary, unimaginable powers.
Now that he had reached Half-Step Saint, the Demon Emperor Technique had granted him an astonishing divine ability that even he found somewhat overpowered.
Jun Lingtian, unaware of Lin Fengmian’s thoughts, stared at him seriously and said, “Not bad, you’re a worthy opponent.”
“One sword forced me to move, two swords forced me to draw my sword, and three swords forced me to use my domain. Let’s see what other tricks you have.”
Lin Fengmian coldly replied, “You won’t be disappointed! Eight Desolations Fiendgod!”
The black mist around him swirled and twisted, then dissipated as the Eight Desolations Fiendgod appeared in front of Jun Lingtian.
But unlike before, the Eight Desolations Fiendgod now stood at the size of a normal person, yet a pair of giant bone wings nearly ten feet long stretched out behind it.
Black long swords like feathers were attached to the giant bone wings, and when they fluttered, the sword light danced in the air, showing a mystical and extraordinary sight.
“Flickering Sword of Light!”
Lin Fengmian’s form quickly split into dozens, flickering between reality and illusion as he attacked Jun Lingtian from all directions.
Although Jun Lingtian could easily slice them back into the black mist with a casual swing of his sword, the illusions seemed endless, appearing without end.
Lin Fengmian’s true body mingled within them, using the combination of his domain and the Eight Desolations Fiendgod’s wings to move unpredictably at a speed that was near impossible to follow.
Jun Lingtian grew increasingly frustrated. He raised his sword and swept it horizontally with a quick motion, murmuring, “Flame Split!”
More than ten flames shot out like sharp swords, blasting through the illusions and shattering them as easily as a strong wind sweeping away leaves.
“Sacred Fire Wings!”
Jun Lingtian’s muscular frame trembled, and two fiery wings erupted from his back, rapidly expanding. In an instant, he became a streak of fire, slashing toward Lin Fengmian’s true form with his sword.
“Be careful! Sword Essence Shield!” Luo Xue shouted.
Instinctively, Lin Fengmian followed her advice and used Qionghua’s sword energy to shield his body, narrowly blocking the attack.
“Qionghua’s sword essence shield? What’s your connection to Qionghua?”
Jun Lingtian asked as he continued attacking without pause, his every sword strike moving with terrifying speed and burning power.
“I was fortunate enough to inherit the Qionghua Sword Sect’s legacy, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, I hadn’t planned on revealing it.”
“But the Holy Emperor’s strength is beyond my expectations. I can’t hide my true abilities anymore; if I do, I’ll be buried in the ground.”
Lin Fengmian spoke casually, while at the same time, following Luo Xue’s lead, he engaged in a fast-paced battle.
Jun Lingtian didn’t believe it. Could this child be the reincarnation of a master from Qionghua?
A cultivator of the righteous path, no wonder he still had an absurd naivety and righteousness despite using all means.
As the two exchanged words, they continued to clash within the domain. Various sword techniques were unleashed by both sides.
The sky was filled with sword energy, flames fell like meteors, and thunder rained down relentlessly, creating an apocalyptic scene.
Jun Lingtian glared at Lin Fengmian and coldly asked, “Kid, let me ask you, are you willing to surrender? If you do, everything will remain the same!”
“I can lose this battle to you. My life is yours to take. You can have both fame and fortune, women at your side, and sit on top of the world, how does that sound?”
Jun Lingtian pushed Lin Fengmian to this point to make him realize the disparity between them.
In his eyes, such a genius deserved to be beaten. Otherwise, he’d always act like the second best while Jun Lingtian was the undisputed top.
A good beating would make him understand that there would always be people who were stronger than him, and that there were greater powers in the world. He’d accept his fate.
Now, there was death on one side and the peak of life on the other. A normal person would know which choice to make!
But it seemed that this time, he had truly encountered a madman.
Lin Fengmian sneered coldly. “Your life, I’ll take it myself!”
Jun Lingtian lost his patience completely. He coldly said, “Stubborn fool. Since that’s how it is, then die!”
As he raised the Flame Emperor Sword high, a torrent of raging flames burst from his body.
Phoenix after phoenix materialized behind him, spreading their wings and preparing to fly.
A sharp sword intent locked onto Lin Fengmian, filling him with a sense of imminent death.
Jun Lingtian really wanted to kill Lin Fengmian. Since this child couldn’t be used by Junyan, then he should just die. As for Yunshang, a little girl, she’d cry, but it would be over soon.
“Divine ability?” Lin Fengmian’s expression changed drastically as he unfolded his wings. Countless black swords flew out from the bone wings, raining down like a torrential storm and slashing at Jun Lingtian.
At the same time, he dove downward with the force of splitting the heavens, his sword aiming to cleave Jun Lingtian in half.
“Open Heaven!”
The Tremor of the Abyss seemed to strike Jun Lingtian from the sky with thunderous power, as if it wanted to tear him in two.
However, even though Jun Lingtian’s divine ability took a long time to cast, a number of phoenixes had already formed around him, protecting him like a shield.
The phoenixes fluttered in the air, constantly wiping out Lin Fengmian’s sword strikes and preventing him from getting close.
“Lin Fengmian, step aside! This is his divine ability-you can’t take it!” Luo Xue’s fearful voice rang out. At this moment, she wanted to push Lin Fengmian out of the way, but Lin Fengmian refused to give up.
“No, I’ll do it!” Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth.
They had been fighting for most of the day, and his spiritual power was nearly exhausted. His body was scorched black, a pitiful sight. However, Jun Lingtian still appeared calm and collected, which infuriated Lin Fengmian.
Not only had he not driven Jun Lingtian into a corner, but he hadn’t even figured out where his true limits lay!
This angered him even more. Was there anything that Lin Fengmian, the great young master, couldn’t find out?
Who did Jun Lingtian think he was looking down on?
“Luo Xue, I’m going to be reckless again!” Lin Fengmian bit his finger, pulling down his mask to reveal his brow, and solemnly whispered, “Burning Love!”
