Chapter 1101: Battling the Emperor of the Dead

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Feng summoned the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell in his palm and pressed it against the surface of the dark green glacier formed from Emperor Xia’s Azure Sea Xuanming Spell. A powerful yet mysterious force abruptly shattered the glacier that had seemingly existed since time immemorial.

Emperor Xia furrowed his eyebrows and prepared to take a step back, but right at this moment, the Emperor of the Dead’s eyes flickered with a black glow, and Emperor Xia’s body was suddenly frozen stiff.

Amidst his sighing breaths, Emperor Xia made no attempt to dodge and went straight for Lin Feng, ignoring the possibilities of being injured himself and employing an attack that inflicts harm on both sides.

However, Lin Feng’s attention was not focused on Emperor Xia but instead on the Emperor of the Dead. He noticed that, besides the Emperor of the Dead’s single hand that was reaching into void space and shimmering with red light, the other parts of his body were surging with streams of black light.

The black light reached the ultimate peak of its brilliance and was gradually joined by a shining white glow, causing his entire being to be seemingly cloaked in a luminous grey fog. This grey fog did not herald any heavenly disaster, but it blended very well with the surrounding red chaotic void space. The red void space was in fact nourishing the glowing grey fog, making the fog even thicker.

“Emperor of the Dead, based on your mastery of mantras alone, you are indeed extraordinary, one-of-a-kind. You are worthy of leaving your name in the history books.” Lin Feng nodded.

There were indeed people who had been reincarnated from the dead – the Mahayana Original Soul magic treasure can also be reincarnated as a person, but almost all of these existences must have undergone cultivation from the very beginning. It’s just that their cultivation journeys proceeded much more smoothly than ordinary cultivators.

But for the Emperor of the Dead, who had been reincarnated for only around ten years, to reach such an astounding level of abhijina, he was certainly no ordinary person.

During the Anti-Celestial Sect War on Mount Yujing, the Emperor of the Dead was no more than a child just two or three years of age. The formidable abhijina he possessed back then was already enough to make everyone spare him a second glance.

Compared to others who have also reincarnated and restarted their cultivation, the Emperor of the Dead’s strength would not even be considered raising his mastery level – it could even be considered as manipulating time, continuously regaining his powers and returning to his former glory days within an extremely short amount of time.

At the start, his speed of recovery was the quickest, but his progress has slowed in recent years. He has begun showing signs of fighting an uphill battle to improve an already impressive mastery level.

However, a true rebirth like this was definitely frightful to the ears.

Such abilities capable of defying the heavens cannot be conjured from thin air. Upon closer inspection, Lin Feng confirmed that the the Emperor of the Dead could recover so quickly because he invented a uniquely groundbreaking mantra, and this specialized secret mantra indeed borrowed the powers of the Netherworld Sea.

Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yan Nanlai and the Qing Yi Holy Woman all creased their eyebrows. “Ignoring how peculiar this mantra is, his mastery of this mantra alone is incredible and strangely unparalleled.”

The Emperor of the Dead looked calmly at Lin Feng, “I don’t wish to leave my name down in the history books. I want to write everything in the past, the present and the future myself, and fulfil my destiny.”

Lin Feng frowned, “How ambitious. But it’s a pity, whether you’ll actually achieve that is an entirely different matter.”

As he spoke, in the depths of Lin Feng’s Virtual Entity where no one could notice, a Divine Original True Spirit Pattern glowed with life in contrast against his Virtual Entity.

Everyone suddenly felt the entire red chaotic void space tremor.

Although a red world of chaos lay before their eyes, an image seemed to be appearing in their supernatural awareness.

Amidst a dark galaxy where countless shining stars, the constellations and movements dictated since ancient times seemed to be redirected by a certain power source, and began to alter.

No matter how immense the rotating force of the stars were, not to mention the combined force of tens of thousands of galaxies revolving together, even a minute change would produce an astronomical amount of energy capable of upheaving everything.

As such magnificent power descended down, the Emperor of the Dead’s body abruptly froze. In the next moment, the Azure Sea’s boundlessly surging energy rebounded towards him. And at the same time, Lin Feng used his finger as a sword and conjured a ray of Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi, piercing straight for the Emperor of the Dead.

Astonished, the Emperor of the Dead fixated his gaze, feeling even stranger than before. “He did not take my rights to control Emperor Xia from me. What’s going on?”

The Qing Yi Holy Woman who was battling the Blood River Daoist, as well as Yan Nanlai and the other grandmasters of the Great Void Sect suddenly contracted their eye pupils. “This was the abhijina that destroyed our sect’s Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light back at the Starry Sea!”

With such an intimidating attack charging over, the Emperor of the Dead furrowed his brows despite still devoting some attention to the heavenly apocalypse crashing down from above.

However, as shocked as he was, he remained composed. He did not retract the hand which he probed into the red chaotic void space, and instead summoned a spell with his free hand. The foggy grey glow shrouding his body suddenly transformed into a giant wheel.

This wheel was unlighted, completely pitch-black, and spun in total silence. It was unlike the Heaven Gate Sect’s Celestial Treasure Wheel that rotated the Celestial World, nor did it have similar effects as the Vajra Wheel Print and Bodhisattva Wheel of Buddhism.

It in fact resembled the Samsara Sect’s Six Paths of Samsara to a greater degree, but its power surpassed the latter. It used the Reincarnation of the Six Paths to control a power concept that determined life, death, and the changing of fate. As the wheel spun, the six paths do not differ from each other, either converging solely on life, or just on death!

The spinning pitch-black wheel suddenly changed to white. The brilliant, blinding white light was eye-catching yet not incisive, giving off the hope of life – vitality, life, but also a lifeline, reviving from near death, reviving from absolute hopelessness.

The spinning white wheel blocked Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi. Even though an extensive network of cracks appeared on the white wheel, it still managed to withstand Lin Feng’s assault. On the other hand, Emperor Xia, who had similarly launched himself at the Emperor of the Dead, burst with blinding black light as his entire being suddenly became evidently weaker and void of strength. His Endless Azure Sea Spell used against the Emperor of the Dead also decreased in power.

Lin Feng frowned and added more pressure behind his Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi. At the same time, with a swipe of his other hand, his Heaven Extreme Universal Light crashed down. The spinning white wheel suddenly slowed down. The ferocious Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi forcefully split the white wheel into two and continued slicing straight for the Emperor of the Dead.

An ancient book suddenly appeared in front of the Emperor of the Dead. His free hand flipped this confounding book, and the radiant luster on the book immediately morphed into an enormous pillar of light which projected outwards.

This ray of light quickly transformed into a grey World of the Dead. Every page was like a separate world, and every page documented the births and deaths of numerous living creatures.

This grey world seemed to be parallel yet at odds with the entire Greater Worlds at the same time. It channelled the power from the Greater Worlds, like a sanctuary for the deceased creatures of the actual Greater Worlds.

Countless dead spirits let out excruciating yet silent screams of agony. When someone looks at this World of the Dead, it would be as if he was looking at his own death, the final destination of his life journey.

Lin Feng remained calm and continued slicing his menacing Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi down.

If you are the final guardian of life and death, then I’m the one who exterminates all existence!

I won’t just eradicate sentient living beings or lifeless objects. I’ll obliterate everything, even your Path of Life and Death!

With a single blow from his sword, Lin Feng chopped the grey World of the Dead open. Upon witnessing this, the Emperor of the Dead became terrified.

He glanced at the hand he extended into void space and finally let out a sigh. He retracted his hand and clasped his palms together and abruptly closed the Life and Death Book.

Under the Emperor of the Dead’s concentrated manipulation, the World of the Dead grew even more expansive. Countless faces surfaced amidst the flickering black light, and the immense power forcefully blocked Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi and began to push it backwards.

Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged. He lifted his right hand high into the air and joined his index and middle fingers into a sword, summoning the terrifying Heaven-Destroying Sword Qi once again but not unleashing it. Rays and rays of menacing black light rippled in all directions with Lin Feng’s fingers as the epicentre.

A thick blood-red pillar of Qi extended from Lin Feng’s fingertips and fired straight towards the horizon, seemingly penetrating the red chaotic void space. Countless flashing black lights condensed into numerous black light swords which floated around the blood-red pillar of Qi. With the energy of over ten thousand black light swords and the blood-red pillar of Qi, billions of complex formation patterns gradually materialized, shimmering in the black light and morphing into a ferocious, unparalleled colossal sword formation.

It was Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation.

At this moment, the Netherworld Sea seemed to be tremoring. The heavenly apocalypse was actually resonating with Lin Feng, a connection that contained both antagonism but joyful relief.

In the middle of the treacherous Netherworld Sea, Lin Feng established his Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation, which seemed even stronger than it was in the Greater Worlds.

In an instant, the immense deathly aura inundated the void space in the entire universe, darkening the galaxy and stars.

With a strike of his razor-sharp blade, endless black light blanketed the heavens and obscured everybody’s vision. The extreme, brutal air of destruction capable of exterminating all life was especially suffocating.

Facing Lin Feng, the Emperor of the Dead could only see the red chaotic void space disappear before his eyes. Emperor Xia and the Blood River Daoist’s evil souls have also vanished. Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Yan Nanlai and the Qing Yi Holy Woman have also vanished. Even Lin Feng was nowhere to be seen.

Inside his arc of vision, he could only see a giant blood-red sword. It was as if the entire world had melted into an apocalyptic, menacing sword capable of obliterating all creation under the heavens!

The blood-red blade blanketing the skies and lands struck down, shattering all light in the heavens.

The Emperor of the Dead let out a low grunt. He combined the mana of his entire being with the Life and Death Book, and withstood the blow from Lin Feng’s Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation.

But with no one knowing when, Lin Feng’s Thunder Dragon Avatar suddenly appeared before him and revealed its true form. Its gargantuan serpentine body alternated incessantly between its physical form in true flesh and an illusion of light.

The abhijina of the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell instantly masked the Emperor of the Dead and his Life and Death Book.

“Eh?” The Emperor of the Dead’s pupils abruptly contracted. He wanted to retaliate, but two rays of holy light, one black and one white, burst forth from Lin Feng’s body into the void space, immediately dulling the striking red of the surrounding chaotic void.

An endless choir of chants from the Heavenly Way reverberated through the void. Lin Feng’s Holy Light of Creation, combined with his Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation, pushed down with overwhelming force, forcing the Emperor of the Dead to be on his toes.

And at this moment, the Two Elements Origins-Returning Mystic World Spell crashed down upon the Emperor of the Dead and began activating the spell’s effects.

The void warped violently and the scene before everyone’s eyes began altering drastically.

Although the Emperor of the Dead was still standing amidst the red chaotic void space, a black vortex flashing with radiant red light appeared beneath him. Everything below his knees had entered the black vortex, seemingly submerged inside.
