Demon Dragon Mad God
Chapter 1452 - 934: The Standoff of Billions
He also gathered some news; it seems that after killing Young Master Liu Yun, it didn’t cause much of a stir, only making Lord Liu Kong furious.
Lin Feng didn’t worry about it at all; as long as the Absolute Divine Sect was safe, he had no worries.
"It’s about time, I can attempt to break through to the Great Success stage of the Supreme Realm!"
Lin Feng paused on a prosperous star and entered a mountain range. Last time, trying to reach Great Success of the Supreme Realm ended in failure, but now three months had passed, and he felt more confident.
This time, Lin Feng planned to rely on the early-stage Thunder Law of the eighth rank to break through to the Great Success of the Supreme Realm.
In these three months, not only did he deeply understand the Thunder Law, but he also solidly tempered his cultivation foundation quite a bit.
He carved out a cave on a mountain peak, and sitting cross-legged within it, Lin Feng began devouring source stones, aiming to break through to the Great Success stage of the Supreme Realm.
Soon, the mountain range was filled with rolling thunder, with occasional thunderclaps startling countless birds and beasts.
This situation lasted for five days.
However, it wasn’t until over a month later that Lin Feng emerged from the mountains with his hands clasped behind his back.
At this point, although his aura was restrained, he was completely different from before, now a martial artist at the Great Success stage of the Supreme Realm.
With an elevated cultivation, his strength underwent another dramatic transformation.
Moreover, after over a month of consolidation, his cultivation was quite stable.
"To Gu Yun!"
With a sigh, Lin Feng soared into the sky, leaving the star and flying in the direction of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
He intended to contact Ling Shang, or Master Jin, to probe into Su Xiaomo’s whereabouts for him.
Concerning his son, though he hadn’t spent much time with him, Lin Feng always worried about him and wanted to confirm his current situation.
However, before reaching the territory of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, Lin Feng heard astonishing news.
Lord Liu Kong had captured over twenty disciples of Tianlan, coercing the Tianlan Star Alliance to surrender Lin Feng to the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
This explosive news was spreading wildly.
Additionally, as Lin Feng found out, every Tianlan disciple captured by Lord Liu Kong was from the Tianlan Headquarters, and all were super talents, with Tu Ying and Fu Qian among them.
This incensed the Tianlan Star Alliance, which dispatched lord-level experts to negotiate with the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance and Lord Liu Kong.
However, despite negotiating twice, there was still no breakthrough; the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance was resolute that Lin Feng must be exchanged, or these two dozen Tianlan geniuses would be killed after a certain time.
This left the Tianlan Star Alliance furious beyond measure: firstly, they didn’t know Lin Feng’s whereabouts, and secondly, even if Lin Feng were in Tianlan, they couldn’t easily compromise with Ancient Cloud.
For the actions of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance were clearly provocative.
Consequently, the Tianlan Star Alliance nearly assembled their entire force, with twenty-five lords and over a hundred thousand elders, gathering at the outer regions of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, showing signs of all-out war.
And the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance was not to be outdone, deploying over twenty lords and tens of thousands of elders to confront the forces of Tianlan.
Currently, the forces of both sides had been in a standoff for over half a month, with endless verbal conflicts barely avoiding escalated clashes several times.
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing the matter, Lin Feng was also filled with rage, realizing that Lord Liu Kong’s coercion of Tianlan was a bad omen.
Although he wasn’t in Tianlan, if Tianlan really compromised and joined forces with Ancient Cloud to hunt him down, he would truly be left with no escape.
"What to do?"
Lin Feng pondered; should he just ignore it? What if Lord Liu Kong really killed Tu Ying and the others?
Moreover, if Tianlan and Ancient Cloud really went to full-scale war, it would shake the heavens and countless lives would be lost.
Reason told Lin Feng that he couldn’t intervene in such a crisis, nor did he have the power to do so, so he should just leave it be and let Ancient Cloud and Tianlan continue their conflict. However, his heart could not turn a blind eye to it.
After long reflection, Lin Feng continued moving towards the direction of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
Without another word, in less than a month, he had gradually approached the vicinity of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
At this point, Lin Feng dared not proceed lightly, so he settled on an unknown star to lie low, and then took possession of an elder with advanced divine king cultivation with a wisp of his divine soul.
Of course, he didn’t kill the elder, only imprisoning the elder’s primordial spirit within his sea of consciousness, and controlling the elder’s body with his wisp of divine soul, allowing the elder to temporarily become his avatar.
Then, Lin Feng’s avatar continued advancing towards the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance.
The avatar flew at a slower pace, and four days later, it approached the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance. At a glance, a vast, overwhelming sea of martial artists stretched as far as the eye could see.
Heaven!
At this moment, on the outskirts of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance’s territory, the gathered martial artists numbered in the hundreds of millions.
Dense and endless martial artists!
Most were disciples or ordinary martial artists from surrounding stars and some branches on the outskirts of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance. Within these endless martial artists stood two opposing groups.
Each group had about tens of thousands of people.
"Hand over Lin Feng, otherwise, these twenty-odd Tianlan geniuses will surely die!"
"You have only one year; within a year, Lin Feng must be handed over!"
"Lin Feng is a beast, and those protecting him are beasts too!"
"Release them, or we, Tianlan, will unleash a massacre, and the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance will be destroyed!"
"If you dare to kill, we will surely cleanse the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance in blood and exterminate you trash!"
"Release them, scum of Ancient Cloud, release them now!"
Deafening shouts echoed continuously.
The two opposing sides traded verbal jabs relentlessly, with some even shouting out loud in crude language.
Many were shouting angrily, their eyes bloodshot, as if ready to strike at any moment.
These people were not for Lin Feng’s sake, but driven to anger.
In fact, for both the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance and Tianlan, most had no enmity with Lin Feng, and they didn’t care whether he lived or died.
But now they were stuck on a tiger’s back.
For instance, the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance, led by Lord Liu Kong, had captured Tianlan’s geniuses, coercing Tianlan to turn over Lin Feng. Given the circumstances, the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance could only cooperate with Lord Liu Kong, releasing them would mean dishonoring him, and it would tarnish the reputation of Ancient Cloud.
As for the Tianlan Star Alliance, faced with such coercion, they naturally couldn’t yield, not to mention Lin Feng was a super genius; even if he were an ordinary disciple, they couldn’t yield.
Otherwise, where would the face of Tianlan be if Ancient Cloud captured our disciples and we surrendered so easily?
It’s simply laughable!
Thus, things had developed to this point, no longer about Lin Feng, but about a contest between Ancient Cloud and Tianlan’s dignity and reputation.
If Ancient Cloud conceded, countless disciples would surely have a change of heart.
Look at Tianlan, how well they protect their disciples, willing to fight to safeguard them; let’s all leave Ancient Cloud and join Tianlan!
The same was true for Tianlan, if they compromised, they would lose cohesion, unable to protect even their own disciples.
In the future, surely all geniuses would join Ancient Cloud instead of Tianlan.
Lin Feng’s avatar stood in the distance; with so many martial artists present, he wasn’t worried about being recognized.
"Has it escalated this much?"
The avatar was somewhat speechless, thinking it was just the death of a Young Master Liu Yun—was it worth such craziness from the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance?
He looked ahead, seeing that among the two opposing groups, there were many lords of the Creation Realm, and Lord Gu Ye was even present.
As for whether Lord Liu Kong was present, he had no idea.
The lords from both sides weren’t exchanging verbal blows but were instead meditating within their own groups, allowing the subordinates to hurl words at each other.
It could be said that neither side’s lords wished to start a war.
