Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 460: Chapter 333: Who Is Lin Feng

This is the first time many people have seen an Extraordinary Powerhouse.

The Extraordinary and Martial Emperor are collectively called Emperors.

The Emperors announced by Huaxia total only thirteen, perhaps a few more, but definitely not exceeding twenty.

Such figures represent the strongest combat power of the Human Race, enjoying the reverence and tribute of the entire nation.

Hong Tao has been stationed in the ”Land of Chaos” for years, and even some Guardians from Shangjing are seeing him for the first time.

Hong Tao was dressed in a gray jacket and cloth pants, looked to be in his forties or fifties, had short hair, slightly graying at the temples, a square face, slightly dark skin, was 1.8 meters tall, with an extremely robust build, looking not like a significant figure, but rather like an old farmer cultivating fields for years.

At this moment, his eyes were slightly sunken, showing a trace of fatigue.

Extraordinary Powerhouses, in the impression of the public, are akin to myths.

No one expected that at this moment, this myth-like figure was so bedraggled.

Moreover, this Extraordinary Powerhouse was Hong Tao.

Among the Thirteen Emperors of Huaxia, it is rumored that Hong Tao’s strength ranks in the top three.

This is a peerless powerhouse capable of sealing Celestial Chart Demon Beasts.

Extraordinary Powerhouses can undergo elementalization, considered non-human existences, essentially a different life form.

Yet even such figures had a right arm severed and were in a hasty escape.

As soon as Hong Tao appeared, the Guardians immediately advanced and protected him within.

Without any instruction needed, three Therapists hurried forward to cast Healing Techniques, but the severed arm showed no signs of recovery.

The atmosphere stirred when Hong Tao appeared, but quickly fell into dead silence, with everyone slightly stiffened, eyes glued to the direction of the Space Gate, and palms slightly damp.

”Sha Mi!”

The just-appeared Hong Tao’s complexion changed slightly, looking toward the northwest direction, sensing Sha Mi’s presence.

He could even faintly hear the piercing scream.

Fortunately, Sha Mi had not broken free from the seal.

Hong Tao knew well the terror of this Celestial Chart Demon Beast; on the Divine Martial Continent, if not for Sha Mi being wounded, he wouldn’t have been a match and couldn’t have sealed it.

Seeing everyone treating it like a great enemy, Hong Tao, under treatment, frowned and said, ”No need for treatment, and don’t worry, the Alien Race will not come out now.”

Even with a severed arm, Hong Tao seemed unconcerned, his face even slightly cold.

”Emperor Hong, what is the situation inside?”

Yang Qingtian, facing Hong Tao, asked respectfully, knowing the Alien Race couldn’t appear, he sighed slightly in relief but did not let his guard down.

”I said no need for treatment, you won’t be able to heal it.”

Hong Tao waved his left hand impatiently.

This caused the Therapists to smile wryly and depart helplessly.

”The Alien Race forcibly merged the ’Land of Chaos’ through some unknown means.” Hong Tao glanced at Yang Qingtian and explained.

As the Clan Leader of the Yang Family and a powerhouse at the Peak of Martial King, Yang Qingtian was only a step away from Martial Emperor, and as a Demon Spirit Master, if he broke through, his strength would not be much inferior and had the qualification to converse with him.

The crowd frowned slightly, not surprised, for this matched their speculations.

They just didn’t know the specific means.

”What do you mean the Alien Race won’t appear?”

Yang Qingtian continued to ask.

This question was the focus of attention for everyone present.

”Why are you all so tense? Have the Aliens scared you witless?”

Hong Tao’s words, carrying a hint of disdainful sarcasm, caused many Guardians to cast awkward, embarrassed smiles but did not dare to retort.

”We have so many people here, and various weapons, unless the Alien Race launched a full-scale attack, otherwise anyone coming wouldn’t matter.” Hong Tao said.

This statement caused everyone to relax a bit.

Indeed, they had been overly tense.

Outside the Space Gate, hundreds of King Level powerhouses and various modern weapons had gathered. Even if an invincible powerhouse entered, it would be a dead end.

Invincible powerhouses are still human, not gods!

If their flesh was destroyed, they would die too.

They couldn’t withstand a massive group attack.

As for a large-scale attack by the Alien Race, it was impossible because they wouldn’t be unaware of such a large commotion.

”So their real aim is to merge the Space Gate, preparing for future invasion?”

An elder speculated.

Even if a Space Gate truly merged, the threat wouldn’t be significant, because by focusing powerhouses and firepower, no matter how many come, they would all die.

The real concern would be the fusion of other ten-star level Space Gates, which would inevitably cause Guardians and firepower to disperse, unable to concentrate.

If Space Gates at a national scale merge, it would signal the coming of the Alien invasion.

Hong Tao didn’t explain the elder’s question.

In his view, an ordinary King doesn’t deserve an explanation.

The elder looked at Hong Tao but didn’t get an answer, was momentarily stunned, then realized, with a slight change in expression, but dared not erupt.

”Emperor Hong, how did the Aliens merge the Space Gate?” Yang Qing asked.

Hong Tao glanced at Yang Qing, this son of Yang Qingtian, who recently acquired a nine-star key, causing quite a stir, something even he knew about.

Yang Qing’s talent far exceeded that of his descendants, with potential to reach Emperor level in the future, perhaps even surpassing his father Yang Qingtian.

Looking at the headless corpses scattered all over, Hong Tao’s expression remained unchanged, shaking his head slightly:

”I don’t know either, but the price certainly wouldn’t be small, it’s not that easy, otherwise, they wouldn’t just merge one.”

He spoke with a trace of seriousness: ”In fact, the Space Gate is still in the fusion stage and hasn’t genuinely succeeded yet.”

On saying this, Hong Tao paused in speech, looking at the fluorescent flashing Space Gate ahead, which had expanded fivefold in size compared to before, reaching five or six meters wide and ten meters long, and still expanding.

”What do you mean?”

Not yet successfully merged also meant there was still the possibility of stopping it.

”Has the key appeared?” Yang Qing speculated.

The key to the ”Land of Chaos” did appear once ten years ago but no one obtained it.

Today with the Space Gate merging, many speculated if the key would appear.

If the key to this Space Gate was obtained, it could forcibly close the Space Gate.

This seems to be the only way to close the ”Land of Chaos” at present.

At this moment, the forced fusion of the Space Gates has already become very stable, even if bombarded regardless of the consequences, it can’t be forcibly closed.

The higher the star level of the space, the greater the impact its forced destruction can cause.

Even if it’s possible to succeed, it could likely lead to space collapse, and at that time, half of Shangjing might be destroyed.

If the Space Gate was in the wilderness, this concern wouldn’t exist, and it could be bombed directly, but not in the Base City.

Besides the Base City, there are no Ten-Star Level Space Gates in the other Satellite Cities and wilderness.

Originally there were, but they were directly destroyed; even if they had great development value, they would not be retained, just to prevent today’s situation.

The rest of the countries in the world do the same; without the strength to guard, they are forcibly destroyed.

”Hmm, anomalies have already appeared inside, the Key should appear within two days.”

Hong Tao replied.

Upon hearing the Key would appear, many people’s eyes flashed with a hint of longing.

This is a Ten-Star Level Key, far more precious than other star-level keys, and with an extremely low chance of appearing.

Currently, worldwide, only three people possess a Ten-Star Level Key, and Huaxia has only one, the Dream Celestial King from the Pure Land.

And the Dream Celestial King is the most mysterious among the Twelve Celestial Kings, seemingly also the most powerful.

Moreover, when the Space Gate successfully fuses, it could possibly be an Eleven-Star Level Key, the only one in the world.

The Key is very precious, a treasure to everyone, but the battle over the Key is extremely bloody, extremely fierce, with the geniuses of various races slaughtering each other, no one can guarantee survival.

Only the invincible genius of the Same Tier has a chance to obtain the Key.

In the Ten-Star Level Space Gate, even Emperors can enter.

”Do you know who chopped off my right arm this time?”

Hong Tao asked, with a hint of bitterness and self-mockery.

Each Guardian looked at each other; the one who made the Emperor Hong retreat must be an Emperor from the Alien Race, or perhaps an unbeatable powerhouse like the Dragon King.

After all, Lin Feng just killed Hai Wei, slaughtering the Alien Race geniuses, making the possibility of Dragon King’s retaliation very high.

Though they were somewhat curious before, it wasn’t the focus, so they didn’t ask much, but now there seems to be more behind it!

”Who was it?”

Could there be someone stronger than the Dragon King on the Divine Martial Continent?

”Jue Tian!” Hong Tao said.

Once he spoke, everyone was taken aback, almost unable to believe their ears.

Jue Tian!

How could it be him?!

Even though Jue Tian’s reputation is great, he is not an Extraordinary Powerhouse, not even a King; he should only be at Seventh Grade Flying Realm.

A Flying Realm severing an Extraordinary Powerhouse’s arm?

This is absolutely the most unbelievable joke anyone has ever heard!

Anyone saying this would be laughed at.

Super geniuses can challenge beyond their ranks, especially true for Demon Spirit Masters.

Seventh Grade Flying Realm defeating Eighth Grade Grandmaster Realm or even Ninth Grade Lingyun Realm is possible.

Lin Feng as a Body Cultivator at Eighth Rank can defeat a Martial Artist; this isn’t unusual.

But never heard of a King defeating an Emperor, unless multiple Kings besieged.

Even Kings can’t, let alone Flying Realm.

Any of them could easily crush a Flying Realm Martial Artist.

And yet they were crushed by Hong Tao, completely different leagues.

No one dares believe it, but it was Hong Tao who personally said it, and the truth is undeniable.

”Jue Tian!”

Lin Feng’s eyes showed shock.

His position was not far from the Guardians, and Hong Tao did not deliberately lower his voice, so he heard it clearly.

This name has been heard before, over the years, people occasionally talk about this name.

This is someone who refined the Earth Chart ranked 18th Night Demon, taking pleasure in hunting the Human Race, proclaimed as Seventh Grade invincible, and single-handedly blocking a gate of Alien Race geniuses.

His existence caused Guanglin to directly blockade a Seven-Star Level Other-dimensional Space Gate.

But even the most demon-like genius, remains far from Extraordinary, how could he sever Hong Tao’s arm?

These two should have no chance to contact, how possible to battle, even win?

”Unless the powers were suppressed!” Lin Feng speculated in his heart.

That is the only possibility!

And Hong Tao’s next words confirmed Lin Feng’s speculation:

”The Alien Race forcibly merged the Space Gate, but it also caused some anomalies, becoming extremely unstable, more unstable than a One-Star Level Space Gate; everyone can enter it but can only exert First Grade strength, and most soul skills can’t be used, only talent skills can be used!”

After hearing this, everyone’s face changed again and again.

No wonder Jue Tian could sever Hong Emperor’s arm.

With power suppressed, even Hong Emperor can only exert First Grade martial strength and can only use talent skills; at this point, what is tested is combat experience and Demon Spirit level.

Though Hong Emperor is an Extraordinary Powerhouse, he hasn’t refined an Earth Chart Demon Spirit but a Ninth Grade Demon Spirit.

While Jue Tian refined a Night Demon, ranked 18th on the Earth Chart; it is the most top-level Demon Spirit for the Assassin profession.

Comparatively, Jue Tian naturally holds the advantage, even if Hong Emperor has rich combat experience, but with suppressed strength, combat experience impact is reduced.

Moreover, the Divine Martial Continent is the Alien Race’s territory, Hong Emperor may face a siege, has been able to escape, which is already not easy.

”This key won’t be easy to seize!”

Many sighed.

Previously, battling for the Key, one met only Same Tier enemies, and only Same Tier invincible could seize the Key.

But this time the Space Gate’s fusion, from First Grade to King, even Emperor could encounter, everyone’s power suppressed, all starting from the same baseline; the difficulty of the Key’s capture is tenfold, or even dozens.

The battle for the Key will also be more fierce.

Just as people were still sighing, Hong Tao’s gaze swept across the crowd sitting cross-legged in front, after a while asking: ”Who is Lin Feng?”
