Chapter 711 Today, I'm an Immortal Emperor! (3)
He casually glanced at Zhao Ming, paying no attention to him.
Zhao Ming, feeling a surge of confidence due to his successful manipulation of the Blood Slaughter God and the power boost provided by Su Xiuxiu, was on the verge of reaching the later stages of the Divine Realm. Fueled by this confidence, he decided to confront Lin Feng directly.
Lin Feng, however, remained indifferent to Zhao Ming's provocation and was about to take action.
Suddenly, Zhao Ming revealed a crystal-clear pearl in his hand, radiating the power of the spatial Dao.
It was evidently a spatial treasure created using forbidden techniques with guidance from Su Xiuxiu.
"Hmph, facing my questions, this mere human dares to show such an attitude. Watch how I teach you a lesson!" Zhao Ming angrily shouted, using the power of the orb to crush Lin Feng.
Aware of the Eastern Duke's standing among the humans and the current dominance of the human race, Zhao Ming restrained himself, not intending to kill Lin Feng. However, inflicting severe punishment seemed appropriate.
As the pearl exerted its force, the space around Lin Feng started to ripple and distort, seemingly attempting to crush him.
Unmoved, Lin Feng stood still, unaffected by the twisting spatial forces.
With his current strength, even the power of the chaotic realm was within his grasp, making him indifferent to the spatial forces.
Misinterpreting Lin Feng's lack of reaction as fear, Zhao Ming sneered.
"Haha, the human race is indeed weak. Just a bit of spatial force and you're scared. Duke of the East, kneel and apologize, and I might spare your life. So, kneel!"
Zhao Ming intensified the activation of the pearl, causing the spatial forces to surge violently towards Lin Feng's legs.
Witnessing this, some hidden god powerhouses exchanged troubled looks.
The force displayed was so formidable that even a peak-level gods might struggle to resist, let alone the spatial power involved.
However, they remained silent, not intervening, even though the Duke of the East held a high position in the human race.
Some felt that putting the Duke of the East in his place would be beneficial for the human race's pride.
Lin Feng, still motionless, allowed the spatial forces to strike him. His body remained as firm as a rock, with not even a ripple in his clothes.
Zhao Ming widened his eyes in disbelief.
"How is this possible? This is spatial power. I don't believe it!"
Undeterred, Zhao Ming activated the pearl again, this time unleashing the full power of its forbidden restrictions. Countless spatial forces erupted, causing cracks to appear in the surrounding space.
"Have you had enough?" Lin Feng spoke calmly.
He stared at Zhao Ming, coldly hummed, and with a glance, the pearl in Zhao Ming's hand exploded.
The divine powerhouses hidden in the shadows were astonished.
"How could this be? The power of space, difficult for even a peak god to resist, was broken with just a glance?"
"Who exactly is this Eastern Duke? What kind of strength does he possess?"
"Could he be at the emperor level?"
With the destruction of the pearl, Zhao Ming turned pale, looking at Lin Feng with an incredulous expression.
"Emperor… emperor level!"
Lin Feng gave him a casual glance, still ignoring him. Instead, he looked towards the divine temple and said in a deep voice, "Xi, can we meet?"
Inside the temple, on the throne, Xi had noticed Lin Feng long ago but was unsure whether to meet him or not.
Lin Feng's request left her perplexed about what to say to him.
Blame him or welcome him warmly? Xi was unsure.
Having waited for hundreds of thousands of years, Xi had forgotten whom she was waiting for. She should be angry, but after waiting for so long, she found it difficult to be angry.
Yet, she couldn't categorize her feelings as happiness either.
Lin Feng remained at the temple entrance, while Xi remained silent.
Seeing that Lin Feng ignored him, Zhao Ming quickly disappeared from the spot, afraid that Lin Feng would vent his anger on him if he could not get to meet the Empress.
The god powerhouses hidden in the shadows started to speculate.
"What's the relationship between this Duke of the East and the Empress? Why is he here to see the Empress?"
"I don't know, but I'm afraid it's not ordinary."
"That's right. Didn't you see? Although the Empress didn't appear, she didn't say that she wouldn't see him. Clearly, the relationship between the two of them is very complicated."
"It's said that the Empress is an ancient god. Could it be that this Duke of the East is also an ancient person?"
"Impossible. The human race only appeared later. How can he be related to the ancient times?"
"That's strange…"
Lin Feng naturally heard the discussion of those gods, but he did not care.
Xi also heard it, but she did not explain.
The two of them remained in this state, one sitting inside the palace, the other standing outside, in a stalemate that persisted for several years.
During these years, Lin Feng didn't take a single step away, and Xi did not make an appearance.
The hidden gods were now more convinced of the connection between the two.
After all, waiting motionless for several years just to see someone indicated a significant relationship.
Little did they know that Lin Feng, in addition to standing there, had also accelerated his own time.
While one year passed for others, he experienced a hundred thousand years!
It wasn't until this day when a messenger's radiance arrived that Lin Feng, after examining it, spoke again towards the Divine Hall.
"I'm sorry for making you wait for hundreds of thousands of years. Now, I'll return the time to you. I know I was wrong back then, but I don't regret it. Your fate should be controlled by you.
"I won't use that method again, but it's better for us to part ways from now on. Goodbye."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace.
Fuxi and the others had already sent a message back and had already investigated the situation of the Demon Lord through Chi You. They could attack now.
The gods hidden in the shadows of the Divine Hall started to speculate when they saw this scene.
Was this a romantic pursuit by the Duke of the East for the Empress of the Gods? It seemed more like a breakup scene—they seemed to be parting ways.
Xi rushed out of the temple upon witnessing the scene, looking at the distant sky with complex emotions.
Forget each other?
It had been hundreds of thousands of years. Xi had finally remembered, but how could she forget after remembering?
She looked at the spot where Lin Feng had stood. There were still faint traces of time fluctuations.
"Return the time to me? You are truly heartless… Haha, hahaha."
Xi suddenly laughed out loud. Then, the more she laughed, the softer her voice became as she walked back to the Divine Hall dejectedly.
"In that case, why did you bring me away from the Hundred Race Meet back then? Wouldn't it have been better if you hadn't returned back then? So, who owes whom? Do you owe me, or do I owe you?"
Xi muttered to herself. Even in the end, she did not chase after him. Her feelings remained complex.
No one noticed that when Xi walked back to the Divine Hall, her shadow seemed to dim…
