856 The Mountain Overhead!
The Incendium Divine Palace was a shadow that loomed over all the factions on the Incendium Continent. No one could truly escape the influence of the Incendium Divine Palace.
Although it seemed like the Incendium Divine Palace was removed from worldly affairs and ignored mundane matters, allowing the various factions in the Incendium Continent to vie for power, in reality, the Incendium Divine Palace was arrogant in its superiority. They presented themselves as an “adjudicator”.
As long as they thought that something was “excessive” or “inappropriate”, they would take action and “adjudicate” certain things in the name of a third party.
Since it’s an adjudication, there must be some who obeyed, and some who disobeyed.
However, after so many years, those who disobeyed the adjudicator had already disappeared without a trace. Their outcome was obvious. This was the Incendium Divine Palace. It seemed to be high and mighty, removed from worldly affairs, but in reality, it treated the entire Incendium Continent as its “territory”, from which it could demand whatever it wanted.
Even the once insufferably arrogant Celestial Emperor had once suffered a setback at the hands of the Incendium Divine Palace, and no longer dared to challenge it lightly. Hence, the Celestial Emperor had always been cultivating in seclusion on the Celestial Emperor Peak, hoping to amaze the world with a single feat, defeat the Incendium Divine Palace, and even cultivate a perfected spirit.
Unfortunately, while things had been fine when the Celestial Emperor remained at the Celestial Emperor Peak, as soon as he left the Celestial Emperor Peak, he was killed by Lin Feng before he could target the Incendium Divine Palace.
The entire Incendium Continent was under the deterrence of the Incendium Divine Palace. Even though the legendary second Perfected Lord of the Incendium Continent, Perfected Lord Incendium, had disappeared, there were still three peak Chaotic Perfected Persons in the Incendium Divine Palace.
The strongest among them was the direct descendant of Perfected Lord Incendium, the current nominal top Perfected Lord of the Incendium Continent!
With such a colossus around, how could the Black Moon Kingdom be considered successful? How could the queen be considered to have fulfilled her lifelong wish?
Although the Black Moon Kingdom was thriving and countless cultivators had come to join the Black Moon Kingdom, if the Incendium Divine Palace attacked one day and judged that the Black Moon Kingdom as an evil faction in the name of “adjudication”, the Black Moon Kingdom would probably collapse in an instant.
The Incendium Divine Palace was like a huge mountain that had been hanging above everyone’s heads for countless years.
“That’s right, it’s the Incendium Divine Palace, the Perfected Lord’s legacy! If we do not move this mountain, there will be no future for the Black Moon Kingdom, and Your Majesty will not be able to fulfill your lifelong wish.”
Lin Feng’s voice was very calm, but in the queen’s ears, it was explosive as a thunderclap.
“No, no, no, Perfected Person Lin, the Incendium Divine Palace is not something that a Perfected Person can touch lightly. Even if other peak Perfected Persons join forces, the Incendium Divine Palace can deal with them.”
The queen shook her head. This was the deepest desire in her heart. Even before the people she was closest to and trusted the most, the queen had never revealed her true feelings.
This was because she knew what the consequences would be once her true thoughts reached the Incendium Divine Palace. It might mean a calamity, or even worse.
Even if the Black Moon Kingdom had offended a peak Chaotic lifeform, the queen would not be in such despair.
“Oh, you’re very afraid?”
Lin Feng’s profound gaze was as vast as the sky.
“Afraid? Maybe. However, it is not my own death that I fear. What I fear is the destruction of the Black Moon Kingdom. That’s my life’s work. I can’t endure the destruction of the Black Moon Kingdom.”
Faced with the Incendium Divine Palace, the queen, a dignified advanced Chaotic Perfected Person, actually did not even have the courage to challenge it.
“Don’t worry, I’ll naturally make a trip to the Incendium Divine Palace, but not for the reason you imagine. How profound is the legacy of a Perfected Lord? I truly want to witness it with my own eyes, but now is not the time.”
Lin Feng shook his head. He had known about the Incendium Divine Palace for a long time. Moreover, as he learned more and more about the Incendium Divine Palace, he learned more and more clearly what kind of terrifying control the Incendium Divine Palace had over the entire Incnedium Continent.
The Incendium Divine Palace was the true shadow that loomed over the Incendium Continent!
…
“Ouyang Bingyu, you can’t run!”
A white figure was fleeing rapidly into the depths of the Dark Forest.
Behind the white figure were three Chaotic Perfected Persons, one of whom was a advanced Chaotic Perfected Person. There was a symbol on the clothes of the three of them, a blazing flame. This was the symbol of the Incendium Divine Palace. They were all Chaotic Perfected Persons of the Incendium Divine Palace.
Thud.
Suddenly, the Chaotic Perfected Person behind threw a punch. Even the air was compressed to the extremity, and the ground was shaking. How terrifying was a strike from an advanced Chaotic Perfected Person?
Thump.
Ouyang Bingyu fled very quickly, but she was ultimately no match for the pursuers behind her, especially that advanced Chaotic Perfected Person. She was even more exhausted from running for her life. It was not easy for her to escape to the Dark Forest. She thought that she could use the special terrain of the Dark Forest to escape, but she did not expect her efforts to be in vain.
“Your Incendium Divine Palace is going too far!”
Ouyang Bingyu’s face was pale. That strike just now had already severely injured her. If not for her artifact, she would not have been able to escape until now.
“Ouyang Bingyu, you’re the subject of adjudication by the Incendium Divine Palace. How dare you run? As long as you don’t escape the Incendium Continent, there’s nowhere for you to hide in this vast world. Go back and meet the Palace Master!”
“Don’t you just want the legacy of Perfected Lord Sky Sigil I’ve obtained? There’s another person who obtained the legacy. If you have the guts, go and capture him.”
“You’re talking about Lin Feng, right? He recently killed the Celestial Emperor and is one of the eight peak Chaotic Perfected Persons. How can we go after him? Moreover, our Incendium Divine Palace is just adjudicating. As long as we obtain the legacy of Perfected Lord Sky Sigil, we’ll consider the mission completed. As for whether others obtained the legacy of Perfected Lord, what does it have to do with our Incendium Divine Palace?” The people from the Incendium Divine Palace said arrogantly.
“Hypocrite!”
Ouyang Bingyu stopped struggling. She closed her eyes and allowed the people from the Incendium Divine Palace to take her away.
Ever since she left Nimbus City last time, she had been wandering alone. Originally, she wanted to leave the Incendium Continent, but she did not expect things to not go awry. In the end, for some reason, news got out. The people from the Incendium Divine Palace learned that she had obtained the legacy of Perfected Lord Sky Sigil, so they had been hunting her down ever since.
After fleeing for so long, she was eventually captured.
Originally, she had a little friendship with Lin Feng. Unfortunately, she had heard that Lin Feng had killed the Celestial Emperor in the Black Moon Kingdom, and was ranked among the eight peak Chaotic Perfected Persons. With such a long distance, Ouyang Bingyu could not escape there at all.
As for contacting Lin Feng, she had no way to contact him at all.
“Grr…”
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the valley in the forest. The surging and terrifying pressure in particular was definitely from a peak Chaotic dire beast.
“It’s the Black Dragon King! The ruler of the Dark Forest, a peak Chaotic dire beast!”
An enormous head stretched out of the valley and stared coldly at the people from the Incendium Divine Palace.
“Black Dragon King, we are the Chaotic Perfected Persons of the Incendium Divine Palace. We disturbed you due to an important matter at hand. Please forgive us.”
The people of the Incendium Divine Palace naturally knew that the Black Dragon King was not like those ordinary Chaotic dire beasts. It was very intelligent.
“Did the Lin Feng you mentioned just now tame an Ao?”
Suddenly, the Black Dragon King spoke in human language.
“Oh? The Black Dragon King knows Perfected Person Lin Feng?”
“Of course I do. Lin Feng even fought with me in the Dark Forest back then.”
With that, the Black Dragon King glanced coldly at the three Chaotic Perfected Persons of the Incendium Divine Palace. “On account of the Incendium Divine Palace, get lost.”
If it were anyone else, the Black Dragon King would not have bothered to be polite, and would have devoured them in one gulp. However, the Black Dragon King had many reservations about the Incendium Divine Palace. If it really angered the Incendium Divine Palace, even if it hid in the Dark Forest, it would probably raze even the Dark Forest to the ground.
The Incendium Divine Palace was the only ruler of this Chaotic continent!
“That female cultivator seems to have an unusual relationship with Lin Feng. Forget it, Lin Feng left behind the cultivation technique back then. I’ll take it as repaying his favor this time.”
The Black Dragon King recognized causes for gratitude and grudges clearly. Ever since Lin Feng gave it the cultivation technique last time, it had been deeply grateful, and had even learned of Lin Feng’s true identity.
That was why it had appeared just now.
It was just that Ouyang Bingyu had provoked the Incendium Divine Palace, the only ruler of this Chaotic continent. Even if it was a peak Chaotic dire beast, as long as it was still within the Incendium Continent, it had no choice but to be wary of the Incendium Divine Palace.
However, it had to return Lin Feng’s favor, yet could not offend the Incendium Divine Palace, lest the Incendium Divine Palace took revenge.
Hence, the Black Dragon King quickly made its decision.
It instantly transformed into a violent gust of wind and flew out of the Dark Forest towards a certain direction, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
