261: Chapter 260 The Seven Luminaries Arrive in Person, Tearing Off the Mask
As soon as the Clone of Immortal King Seven Luminaries appeared, the temperature in the entire Tiance Mansion plummeted to absolute zero.
The moisture in the air instantly condensed into ice crystals and fell in a flurry. Although this was merely his Clone, the terrifying pressure cultivated from years of holding high office and wielding the power of life and death still caused the hearts of every Golden Immortal present to feel as if they were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe.
Those immortals who had just been bidding crazily, arguing until their faces were red, instantly shrank back like quails, not daring to lift their heads, or even to take a deep breath.
Silence.
Deathly silence.
"Lin Feng! Have you had enough?!"
Immortal King Seven Luminaries hovered in mid-air, looking down at Lin Feng. His eyes were like two burning stars, releasing a light that no one dared to look at directly.
He had not expected this kid, who had just completed his Ascension not long ago, to be so base and so shameless! It was one thing to make a fortune here with this "black material" of unknown authenticity, but he actually dared to set his sights on Immortal King Seven Luminaries, specifically poking at his sore spots!
Peeping on others was an old account from thirty thousand years ago, and at the time he had only "accidentally intruded"... But if this were to get out, with the embellishments of this group of gossiping immortals, how would he, Seven Luminaries, be able to mix in the Nine Heavens in the future? Where would his dignity be?!
"Causing trouble? I don't like the sound of that, Immortal King."
Facing the wrath of the Immortal King, Lin Feng showed no fear. He remained seated in the chair, even picking up a spirit fruit beside him and taking a bite, producing a crisp "crunch" sound.
"I am conducting a serious cultural exchange activity, and by the way, disposing of some idle items. This is called resource recycling and reuse, do you understand?"
Lin Feng tossed the Jade Slip in his hand; every time it fell, Immortal King Seven Luminaries' eyelids twitched.
"As for you, Immortal King, coming here uninvited and trying to tear down my house the moment you arrive, scaring my guests—isn't that a bit too overbearing? Regarding the repair costs and emotional damages, let's see..."
"You are courting death!!"
Immortal King Seven Luminaries could no longer suppress his anger. He couldn't even be bothered to waste words with this rogue; he just wanted to crush this ant that had made him lose face!
As long as Lin Feng died, all the black material, all the diaries, would vanish into smoke!
Boom!
He raised his hand and grabbed, and the space for a hundred miles instantly solidified. Countless starlight gathered in his palm, turning into a giant hand condensed entirely from the Law of Stars, carrying the will to suppress everything and obliterate the Divine Soul, directly grabbing at the top of Lin Feng's head!
This strike did not hold back! It was meant to directly obliterate him, not even giving him a chance at Reincarnation!
"Oh no! Retreat quickly!"
The immortals present changed color drastically and hurriedly used evasion techniques to retreat, fearing they would be caught in the terrifying aftermath. A strike at the level of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, even if it just grazed them, could cause their bodies and souls to perish.
However, Lin Feng, who was at the center of the storm, remained unmoved.
He looked at the rapidly enlarging star-giant hand, a cold curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Want to kill to silence me? Seven Luminaries, have you asked the Immortal Emperor?!"
Lin Feng shouted loudly. Instead of dodging, he suddenly pulled an object from his bosom and held it high!
"Immortal Emperor Haotian Golden Palace, seeing the decree is like seeing the sovereign!"
It was a golden, glistening token, carved with nine lifelike five-clawed Golden Dragons, radiating supreme Imperial Dragon Qi—the heaven-reaching decree, which was the token transformed from the Immortal Emperor's edict!
"Hum—"
As soon as the token appeared, a vast, majestic, and inviolable imperial might erupted instantly, turning into a golden curtain of light, like an inverted golden bowl, firmly protecting Lin Feng within it.
"Bang!!!"
Immortal King Seven Luminaries' angry strike slammed heavily onto the light curtain.
In an instant, light flooded the heavens, and force exploded in all directions, shattering all the floor tiles of the entire Tiance Mansion into powder. But that seemingly weak golden light curtain was incredibly tough, actually blocking this strike head-on without even a single crack appearing!
"That is... the heaven-reaching decree personally bestowed by the Immortal Emperor!"
"Seeing the decree is like seeing the sovereign! Immortal King Seven Luminaries is attacking the dignity of the Immortal Emperor!"
The surrounding immortals exclaimed.
Lin Feng, hiding behind the light curtain, yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice amplified by the System's amplification function, spreading throughout the entire Nine Heavens:
"Seven Luminaries! You have such great courage! This is a token bestowed by the Immortal Emperor, representing the face of the Immortal Emperor! You dare to attack? Are you trying to rebel?! Are you trying to usurp the throne?!"
With this huge label slapped on him, Immortal King Seven Luminaries' expression stiffened, and his movements were forced to stop.
Although he had overwhelming power, he was, after all, not the Immortal Emperor. This token represented the will of Immortal Emperor Haotian; if he really shattered it, that would be open treason, and he would be backlashed by the Heavenly Dao, and even more so, attacked by the other Great Emperors.
"You brat! Can you only hide behind this turtle shell?" Immortal King Seven Luminaries gritted his teeth, his palms trembling, but he dared not strike again.
"Heh, this is called utilizing the rules reasonably, you don't know anything."
Lin Feng looked at Seven Luminaries' expression, which was like he had eaten a fly, and felt extremely satisfied.
But he felt this was not enough.
"Since you have no shame, then don't blame me for helping you become famous."
Lin Feng sneered. With a thought, he directly opened the System shop and spent a huge sum to exchange for a pile of oddly shaped stones—[Ultra-Clear Holographic Recording Stone (Myriad Worlds Broadcast Version)].
"Fugui, stop counting money! Turn it on! Broadcast to all the Fellow Daoists in the Immortal Realm, let's see how our respected Immortal King Seven Luminaries bullies others with his power, and how he bullies me, this 'weak, helpless, and pitiful' new Marshal!"
"You got it, Boss! Signal is full! The image has been synchronized to the major markets in the Thirty-Third Heavens!"
Huang Fugui immediately controlled dozens of recording stones to fly into the sky, like a drone Formation, aiming omnidirectionally and without blind spots at the twisted face of Immortal King Seven Luminaries, as well as Lin Feng's "miserable" appearance.
The next second.
The entire Immortal Realm was boiling.
Whether it was the squares of the major Sects, the markets where Loose Cultivators gathered, or even the Immortal Caves of some great powers, wherever there was a recording stone reception Formation, the sky projected the real-time scene of Tiance Mansion.
In the image, Lin Feng's hair was messy (he did it himself), his clothes were disheveled (he tore them himself), he was hugging the Immortal Emperor's token and shivering, his eyes filled with "humiliated" tears. While Immortal King Seven Luminaries had a fierce look, full of Killing Intent, truly an evil tyrant who bullied men and oppressed women.
"Family! My friends! Look! Is there any justice left?!"
Lin Feng accused the camera with tears in his eyes:
"I came to the heavens to take office under the orders of the Immortal Emperor. Although I come from a Mortal background, I am dedicated to serving the Heavenly Court! Today I just moved into my new home and invited everyone for a casual meal, and this old thing Seven Luminaries brought people to smash the place! Not only does he want to kill, but he also wants to rob my family heirloom! Is this Immortal Realm opened by his Seven Luminaries family?!"
"Everyone, judge for yourselves! Although my, Lin Feng's, cultivation is low, I still have backbone! Even if I die, I will spread the truth!"
This "live streaming" style of selling misery, combined with Lin Feng's movie-star-level acting, instantly ignited public opinion across the entire Immortal Realm!
Countless onlookers were dumbfounded, and then filled with righteous indignation.
"Holy crap! Who is this young man? So miserable!"
"Is that the new Tiance Marshal? How can Immortal King Seven Luminaries be like this?"
"Too much! A dignified Immortal King bullying a newcomer, simply shameless!"
"This Lin Feng has something, this guts are really big, he actually dared to live stream and confront an Immortal King? Followed, followed!"
Immortal King Seven Luminaries looked at the recording stones flashing around him, feeling the gazes of inquiry, disdain, and watching the show projecting from all directions in the Void Realm, trembling with anger, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
He, a dignified Immortal King, when has he ever suffered such indignation?
This was simply peeling off his skin and throwing it on the ground for everyone in the Immortal Realm to step on! And the speed of this spread was too fast; he couldn't block the news even if he wanted to!
"Bastard! Smash those stones for me!!"
Immortal King Seven Luminaries roared, wanting to attack and destroy the broadcasting equipment.
"Try smashing one?" Lin Feng suddenly put his face in front of the camera, a close-up, "If you smash it, it means you have a guilty conscience! It means you admit it! It means you want to cover up your crimes! When the Immortal Emperor comes out of seclusion, let's see how you explain it! Fellow Daoists all over the world are watching!"
Immortal King Seven Luminaries' hand froze in mid-air; smashing it wasn't an option, and not smashing it wasn't an option.
He looked at Lin Feng's punchable face and felt a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time.
This kid... is too damn rogue! This is not the fighting style of an immortal at all; where did this hooligan tactic come from?!
