Chapter 1790 - 1791: Saint Emperor’s Gamble! (Three Updates)
A flash of golden light enveloped him, and Ling Feng ascended directly to the 9th Floor of the Tower of Apocalypse.
This time, what greeted him was not nine opponents, but a golden shadow holding a long sword.
For some reason, upon seeing this golden shadow, Ling Feng’s heart stirred with an unusual thought.
This "shadow," its gaze wasn’t as void as the opponents on the lower floors; rather, it carried an aura of authority, as if it was a supreme being.
Ling Feng couldn’t help but find his thoughts amusing.
It was merely a trial opponent, what supreme being, how laughable.
Yet, that golden shadow seemed to be scrutinizing him, even showing a hint of admiration.
The trial opponent of the Tower of Apocalypse actually admired him?
Ling Feng himself found it somewhat absurd.
Realizing this trial opponent was somewhat different, Ling Feng couldn’t resist asking, "May I ask who you are, senior..."
Before he finished, the golden shadow had already thrust its sword.
Whoosh!
The sound of Windbreak attacked, without flourish, so fast that even Ling Feng barely kept up.
"Why has the difficulty suddenly increased so much?"
Ling Feng was surprised, this golden shadow seemed not only wise but also had a unique combat style.
Moreover, it seemed to possess innumerable other qualities.
Almost like a puppet, with a master pulling its strings behind the scenes.
However, there was no time for Ling Feng to ponder further.
Strike!
Clash!
Clang!
In one sword clash, Ling Feng was pushed back dozens of steps before stabilizing himself.
The golden shadow felt like an unbeatable myth.
However, the more it was like this, the more his heart burned with intense battle spirit.
"Come on!"
In an instant, he pushed his Slaughter Sword Intent to the extreme; Qi Refining Mixed Element Lock and Dragon Elephant Divine Power erupted almost simultaneously.
Crackle!
All around him, flames burned and thunder light surged; facing such a formidable "opponent," Ling Feng was essentially using all his trump cards.
The golden shadow wore a slight curve at the corner of its mouth.
Perhaps surprised that Ling Feng hadn’t lost his fighting spirit?
Like a flowing light, the golden shadow instantly vanished from Ling Feng’s sight, leaving him enveloped in an immense sense of slaughter, every hair standing on end.
For a moment, the space grew terrifyingly quiet, time seemed to stand still, Ling Feng could even hear his blood coursing through his veins.
He was like sinking into eternal oblivion amidst the long passage of time.
Was it over already?
A lazy voice echoed in his mind, as if ready to succumb to deep sleep.
Suddenly, he felt incredibly sleepy and tired, unwilling even to move a finger!
"No! This is not the end I want!"
In the next instant, an unparalleled conviction erupted from deep within him; bang, the world seemed to shatter.
Ling Feng felt the space around him cracking like a mirror.
Crunch!
Crunch!
Everything fragmented, including his slumbering self.
Cold sweat drenched his back, he had a feeling that if he chose sleep, his reflection might have been his end.
"Huff... huff..."
Breathing heavily, the surrounding scene seemed completely transformed, the golden shadow vanished.
From afar, a ball of light hovered midair.
With a thought, Ling Feng brought the light over, revealing a palm-sized Jade Scroll within it.
On the Jade Scroll was a line of small characters: All Attribute Physique, no matching cultivation technique suits this physique.
"Ha..."
Ling Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes; was he too strong to even earn a reward?
Just as he felt a bit miffed, an immensely terrifying energy surged from the Jade Scroll.
Thunderbolt and flames intertwined within the Jade Scroll, Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched.
"Attribute Rules Inscription!"
Ling Feng gasped, akin to a master enlightening him directly on comprehending the power of these two attributes.
This was far precious than any secret technique!
"Hahaha!"
Ling Feng burst out laughing in delight; this trip to Yunluo Sacred Land wasn’t in vain!
...
Deep within Yunluo Sacred Land, in a grand hall, a middle-aged man who appeared immortal slowly opened his eyes.
If Ling Feng were there, he’d find those eyes incredibly familiar.
Before the middle-aged man was a round light curtain, within which an image of an elder on a turtle’s back, smilingly gazing at the man.
"Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor, what do you think of this child’s potential?"
The elder chuckled.
This middle-aged man was the Sect Leader of Yunluo Sacred Land, also Master of Yue HuaQin.
"An unprecedented talent!"
Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor stroked his long beard, chuckling, "Congratulations, Elder Turtle, for acquiring such a cherished disciple."
I’m afraid I’m not qualified to be his master!
Elder Turtle shook his head with a smile, without clarifying, simply saying, "Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor holds true to his word, must honor the bet now?"
Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor shook his head bitterly, nodding, "Naturally, rest assured, Elder Turtle."
Turns out, the golden shadow Ling Feng encountered was actually an avatar of Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor.
Ling Feng’s intuition was not misguided.
He wagered with Turtle Saint that if Ling Feng overcame the avatar, Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor would gift a Five Emperor Seal stored in Yunluo Sacred Land to Ling Feng.
Apparently, Elder Turtle had orchestrated everything.
With Elder Turtle’s Divine Strategy, how could he let Ling Feng truly steal the Five Emperor Seal?
"That young lad indeed has rare talent; it’s better to fulfill him, allowing Yunluo Sacred Land to gain many benefits as well."
As the Holy Land Master, Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor’s vision and heart naturally surpassed ordinary martial artists.
Presenting the Sixth level Thunderfire Rule Inscription to Ling Feng was to extend favor and inspire gratitude.
"Hahaha!"
Elder Turtle laughed heartily; one who sees through but doesn’t speak.
"When the lad exits the Tower of Apocalypse, I will summon him."
Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor lightly said, staring at the light curtain, "However, the Emperor Xuan Seal is not difficult, but the last Green Emperor Seal is said to be under Blood Shadow Alliance’s control, how could this lad gather the last Five Emperor Seal?"
"In the grand scheme, arrangements will be made."
Elder Turtle smiled lightly, "All I can do is fulfill duties and trust Heavenly Destiny."
"So be it."
Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor smiled lightly, "I will uphold my promises."
"In that case, I extend my thanks first."
Elder Turtle nodded, the light curtain gradually fading, leaving Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor alone in the grand hall.
"Alas, such a peerless talent yet not from Yunluo Sacred Land."
Eastern Splendor Saint Emperor sighed slightly; since becoming Holy Land Master, seldom had he felt such stirring emotions.
"Still lacking in cultivation."
He smiled wryly, sitting cross-legged again, entering meditation.
