Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With Lin Jiufeng’s killing of the 15 demons at the Supremacy Realm, the restless world became somewhat calm.
Those that heard of Lin Jiufeng’s feat found him unfathomable.
To be able to kill 15 Supremacies with one strike, just exactly how powerful was he?
A few powerhouses from the previous era who had just broken through their own seals couldn’t help but gasp when they witnessed his move.
This… This was simply incredible!
Those that expressed their shock were mostly those that had seen Lin Jiufeng make a move for the first time. But the demons that he had suppressed for ten whole years back then were all too familiar with this scene.
In those ten years, every time Lin Jiufeng came over, a demon would attack him.
However, with only just a casual slap on his end, that demon would always end up severely injured.
They couldn’t retaliate at all.
It has been five years since they escaped from that demon’s den. But until now, they reckoned that the result of them attacking Lin Jiufeng would still be the same.
The 3,000 plus demons have scattered all over the land. They became busy with their own matters. But when the 15 demons charged into the Imperial Capital in great fanfare to kill Lin Jiufeng, they all had different expectations.
Some secretly looked forward to the battle…
Some frowned, but kept on watching…
And some directly shook their heads in dismissal…
One of those that shook their heads was Queen Scarlet—the one who had built the demon’s den beneath the Cold Palace. After she gained her freedom, she traveled overseas and witnessed Lin Jiufeng’s move scene from thousands of mountains and rivers away.
Witnessing what the 15 demons were about to do, she coldly snorted.
“A bunch of fools seeking their deaths.”
Sure enough, Lin Jiufeng didn’t even personally appear.
He killed them with a single sword move from tens of thousands of miles away.
Queen Scarlet wore a grave look.
“Five years have passed and he has become even stronger. He has been working very hard in the Supremacy Realm. To defeat him so early into this era, it wouldn’t be that easy, strength in numbers just isn’t enough to defeat him…”
She experienced Lin Jiufeng’s might on their final day in that demon’s den.
Thus, she knew all too well just how strong Lin Jiufeng was.
As a result, she treated the actions of the Bat King and the others as the actions of clowns in a circus.
“Only after I’ve completed my transformation and when this world becomes even more exciting will the golden age of this era truly begin…” Queen Scarlet murmured as she looked at the Imperial Capital in the distance.
She went deep into the sea to complete her transformation.
In the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect, Blood Demon also saw this scene.
He looked at his shriveled body and said softly, “I think that it would be good for me to just absorb the blood of wild beasts in the future. I’m old and my stomach isn’t that good, I should change my taste.”
“As a man, I should know when to retreat and to advance.”
Lin Jiufeng was just too fierce.
Blood Demon was secretly glad that his mind was clear enough and he didn’t listen to the words of Bat King.
Otherwise, he would’ve been dead by now.
But on second thought—the fiercer and stronger Lin Jiufeng was—the more aggrieved he felt.
The days of freely sucking the blood of mortals seemed to be gone forever.
Lin Jiufeng’s silent oppression in the hearts of the demons like Blood Demon didn’t disappear.
In fact, it became even stronger.
“How can there be such a monster in this world?” Blood Demon let out a long sigh.
Right now, he only wanted to stay in the Everlasting Hatred Demon Sect.
He planned on slowly nourishing himself here without leaving.
This world where Lin Jiufeng existed was just too dangerous for him to roam freely.
…
The outside world became turbulent for a while, but to Lin Jiufeng—killing those 15 demon Supremacies didn’t pose any significant problem to him.
Five years ago, he was already at the Supremacy Realm.
The domain that he had nurtured in his body had already become as vast and as boundless as the seas.
After continuously signing in for five whole years in the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy, he had received countless peerless techniques from the various tombs that he had signed in at.
Each of the techniques he received was similar to the Flying Sword Technique of the Millennium Sword God. They were all peerless techniques from the same era.
By signing in, he could receive peerless techniques.
Just from this alone made it obvious that Lin Jiufeng wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
He studied every technique seriously. It wasn’t that difficult for him to assimilate the techniques that he received from signing in and then turning them into his own.
In addition, with the help of the rising tide of the world’s spiritual energy, he became akin to a fish swimming against the current. The only exception was that the current didn’t pose a problem to him.
In fact, he was even more troubled as to where exactly he was headed to.
The Flying Sword Technique was only one of Lin Jiufeng’s peerless techniques.
Right now, after receiving so many peerless techniques…
Lin Jiufeng knew that he had to find a way to combine all of these techniques together to create his own invincible technique that was the amalgamation of everything that he had received so far.
When separated, they were the various peerless techniques that he received from signing in.
Together, they were Lin Jiufeng’s invincible technique.
This was Lin Jiufeng’s current goal.
As for the demons that he had killed, they were just akin to a passerby in his peaceful journey to the summit of cultivation.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t take the incident seriously at all.
After he executed the Flying Sword Technique, he resumed his peaceful and quiet life.
He continued with his daily routine.
The next day, he went deep into the true Land of Extreme Negative Energy. Soon enough, he arrived at its core. Here, there were fewer tombs than Lin Jiufeng had expected. They weren’t as densely packed compared to the tombs in the outer regions.
But the quality of the rewards had increased exponentially.
Today, Lin Jiufeng stood before a small grave and looked at the stone tablet with words carved on it. The words written on the stone tablet were written with bold calligraphy. Furthermore, the message it displayed was very interesting in Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.
[Tomb of the 49th Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect!]
[Tomb maker: The tomb owner himself!]
These were the two sets of words written on the stone tablet.
Lin Jiufeng could tell that these words were carved out using True Qi that was concentrated on one’s fingertip.
The handwriting looked ancient, yet mighty.
The handwriting was cursive, yet it clearly displayed the complicated emotions of the writer as he wrote this set of words.
Writing his own epitaph…
“He’s the previous Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect…” Lin Jiufeng mumbled.
The Zenith Heaven Path Sect had already awakened in this brand-new era and they had become a sect beneath the banner of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
But even though they were under the protection of the Yuhua God Dynasty, Lin Jiufeng knew that those people were constantly doing their best to infiltrate and replace the higher-ranking members of the Imperial Court with their own members.
Emperor De made several transactions with the Zenith Heaven Path Sect in exchange for their support. At the same time, Emperor De also roped in other sects to suppress the Zenith Heaven Path Sect. He didn’t allow them to be the sole dominating in the entire dynasty.
To be honest, the Zenith Heaven Path Sect seemed to be in decline even though their members had just awakened into this brand-new era.
Their sect was in the mountains outside the Imperial Capital, none of their members also dared to go deep into the Imperial Capital, much more into the Forbidden City…
This was understandable, however, for they knew that the Yuhua God Dynasty had a terrifying guardian deity protecting it.
The Zenith Heaven Path Sect only let their disciples investigate this matter in secret.
They had so many powerhouses, but none of them dared to enter the Imperial Capital.
In the struggle between the Zenith Heaven Path Sect and Emperor De, both sides suffered victories and losses.
But the crucial fact was that Emperor De had greatly reduced the Zenith Heaven Path Sect’s potential for development. It seemed as if the former was trying his best to reduce the chances of the latter becoming the sole dominating sect in the dynasty.
Emperor De’s actions endlessly frustrated the Zenith Heaven Path Sect.
Lin Jiufeng had previously heard about these things from Dachun.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t expect to encounter the tomb of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect’s 49th Sect Leader in the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.
[Do you want to Sign-In before the tomb of the 49th Sect Leader of the Zenith Heaven Path Sect?]
These words appeared before Lin Jiufeng’s eyes.
“Sign in!” Lin Jiufeng agreed.
[Sign-In successful. Received a war machine!]
Lin Jiufeng was stunned. A-what?
Soon, an expressionless corpse appeared before Lin Jiufeng.
The corpse was about three meters tall.
His eyes were closed, yet his breathing was steady despite how he looked.
His physique was muscular, his skin was bronze in color, while his eyebrows were thick.
The key problem was that there was no life in this person’s body. Moreover, Lin Jiufeng could sense that his internal organs were the strongest in the world.
Despite how imposing he looked, what mattered was that he didn’t have the breath of life.
What was more shocking, however, was the fact that even though he was technically not alive—his internal organs that helped his body operate were the strongest Lin Jiufeng had ever seen in this world.
The only problem was that he was technically dead.
[This is a war machine that has been refined under the hands of countless people. When he was still alive, he was once a peerless martial artist. But after his death, his corpse was refined and turned into a war machine.]
[Even in death, his body still possesses a terrifying strength. It only knows how to kill and has no other feelings. Its recovery ability is extremely strong, and as long as a piece of its flesh still exists, it could rapidly recover from its injuries.]
These lines of words resolved some of Lin Jiufeng’s questions.
“Isn’t he the same as Nameless? Just that he’s hundreds or thousands of times stronger than Nameless…” Lin Jiufeng mumbled.
He looked at this so-called war machine, but he decided not to activate it just yet.
