342: Chapter 341 The Immortal Emperor's True Form Will Appear

The trembling of Lingxiao Palace was not limited to that great hall alone.

It was like a signal, a signal of awakening from an ancient Supreme, instantly spreading across the Thirty-Three Heavens, and even reaching the Four Great Continents of the Lower Realm.

The previously clear sky suddenly became somewhat oppressive. Purple thunder roamed deep within the clouds, as if countless Lightning Dragons were roaring.

Above the ruins of the South Heaven Gate.

Lin Feng was directing his subordinates to pry up and pack the last piece of top-grade spirit jade floor tile when he suddenly paused.

He looked up at the magnificent, golden palace floating at the very Peak.

From there, an Aura that could change the color of the world was rising.

"Boss, this Aura..."

The demonic sword in Princess Yao Ji's hand let out an uneasy buzzing sound, and her face turned pale. "This is definitely not an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal! This is... this is a Quasi-Saint?! And it's the kind of old monster who has been settled in this Realm for countless years!"

Even Nezha, who feared neither heaven nor earth, unconsciously tightened his grip on his Fire-Tipped Spear at this moment and swallowed hard. "That old geezer Jade Emperor is really panicking this time. This seems to be his true form's Aura! Usually, the one sitting up there is just a Dharma body, but this time... he's really going to get serious."

"A Quasi-Saint?"

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. Not only was he not afraid in the slightest, but he felt his long-dormant battle blood beginning to boil.

On the System interface, a red alert was flashing frantically.

[Ding! Extremely dangerous source detected!]

[Target: Haotian Golden Que Supreme Natural Wonderful Existence Miluo Supreme Truth Jade Emperor (Abbreviated: Haotian).]

[Rank: Peak Quasi-Saint (Half-step Hunyuan).]

[Warning: The opponent possesses the Innate Spirit Treasures 'Haotian Tower', 'haotian mirror', and 'Heavenly Emperor Sword'. It is recommended that the host activate 'Kingdom of God Descent' mode.]

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore, huh?"

Lin Feng plunged his long saber into the ground, shattering the open space he had just cleared beneath his feet.

He picked up the sound-amplifying Magic Treasure (which was actually just a large megaphone) that he never let go of, and shouted toward the direction of Lingxiao Palace:

"Hey! You up there!"

"Stop holding back your ultimate move there. The start-up time is too long; I'm already sleepy from waiting."

"If you don't come out now, I'm going to tear down your Lingxiao Palace and turn it into a public toilet!"

This shout instantly shattered the heavy, impending atmosphere.

Inside Lingxiao Palace.

The Jade Emperor, who had just stood up and was brewing his "Heavenly Emperor Majesty," almost couldn't catch his breath.

A public toilet?! This bastard! This hooligan! This rascal!

"Lin Feng—!!!"

A roar, like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, exploded.

Rumble! The doors of Lingxiao Palace swung wide open.

A majestic figure, bathed in ten thousand zhang of golden light, slowly walked out.

He wore a crown with twelve rows of beads, donned Nine-Chapter ceremonial robes, and held the Heavenly Emperor Sword that symbolized the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

With every step he took, a golden lotus bloomed beneath his feet; with every breath, the surrounding space vibrated along with him.

This was the Dominator of the Heavenly Court, the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Three Realms—Emperor Haotian!

At this moment, the million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals (though more than half had run away, some remained) all knelt on the ground, trembling.

Even many in the motley army behind Lin Feng could not withstand this pressure, their legs going weak.

"Lin Feng, do you know your crimes?"

The Jade Emperor's voice was no longer that of an old man, but a majestic, middle-aged tone, with every word striking like a heavy hammer against everyone's hearts.

He looked down from above, his eyes like two sharp swords, staring fixedly at Lin Feng on the ruins.

"You destroyed my South Heaven Gate, injured my Heavenly Generals, disrupted my Heavenly Order, and insulted my Heavenly Court."

"Today, I shall use your blood to wash away this shame from the Heavenly Court!"

As the Jade Emperor's voice fell, countless stars appeared in the Void Realm behind him. It was the complete Zhou Tian Star Formation, and every star contained destructive power, locking onto Lin Feng.

Facing this overwhelming Imperial Aura, Lin Feng moved. He did not kneel, nor did he retreat.

He simply took out a... cigarette from his storage space?

"Snap." Lin Feng lit the cigarette, took a deep drag, and then slowly exhaled a smoke ring. The smoke ring drifted in the air, surprisingly not dispersed by the Jade Emperor's Aura.

"I say, Old Hao." Lin Feng held the cigarette, looking nonchalant. "You recite those parallel sentences quite fluently; did you take the civil service exam in the past?"

"Know my crimes? I know your grandfather's crimes." Lin Feng violently threw the cigarette butt onto the ground and crushed it hard with his foot.

"These Three Realms were perfectly fine before; it was you who turned them into a foul mess. Immortals don't act like immortals, and monsters don't act like monsters. Those with some ability are suppressed by you, while those without ability who are bootlickers hold high positions."

"Look at those pieces of trash you raise; besides extorting and taking bribes, what else can they do?"

"You ask me what I use to wash away the shame?" Lin Feng's long saber pointed fiercely at the Jade Emperor. On the blade, the light of ten thousand Laws erupted instantly, actually forcing back that overwhelming Imperial Aura!

"In my opinion, the one who needs to wash the floor is you!" "Haotian, come out and wash the floor!"

This roar was louder than any before. It was not just a provocation, but more like a declaration. A declaration of the end of the old era and the arrival of a new one.

"You seek death!" The Jade Emperor was completely enraged. He swung down the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand. "Star Fall!"

Boom! In the sky, a giant phantom of a star, carrying an Aura of destruction, smashed down toward Lin Feng.

"Well come!" Lin Feng advanced instead of retreating, his black dragon battle armor erupting with blinding light. "System! Put all my critical hit points on the line!" "Ten Thousand Laws—Heaven Opening!"

Lin Feng turned into a bolt of black lightning, rushing up to meet that star.

...Just as this world-shaking battle was about to erupt. Outside the Three Realms, in that more distant, higher-dimensional Chaos Void. Several ancient and magnificent wills slowly awakened.

In Zixiao Palace. An old man in Daoist robes (Dao Ancestor Hongjun) slightly opened his eyes; in those eyes, it seemed to contain the birth and death of the Universe.

"A variable... has actually grown to this point?" The old man murmured, his tone carrying a hint of confusion, "The Heavenly Secrets are already chaotic; even I cannot see clearly. The power behind this Lin Feng... where does it actually come from?"

In the Wa Palace. A beautiful goddess (Nuwa) was watching the scene in the Lower Realm, the corners of her mouth curling into a playful smile: "A bit interesting. This kid actually has some of that monkey's temper from back then, but he's much smarter than the monkey. To force Haotian to this point, he is indeed a talent."

Deep in the Western Paradise. Two withered figures (Jieyin, Zhunti) exchanged a glance, a trace of calculation flashing in their eyes.

"Haotian's Luck is damaged, and the Foundation of the Heavenly Court is shaken. Senior Brother, this might be our opportunity for Buddhism to flourish." "Good. However, that Lin Feng is an anomaly; we must not let our guard down. Let us see the result of this battle."

...Returning to the South Heaven Gate. A huge explosion sounded again. Lin Feng's long saber collided fiercely with the Jade Emperor's star.

Space shattered like a mirror, and black spatial turbulence surged out wildly. In the smoke and dust, Lin Feng flew backward for hundreds of meters, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, but the flames in his eyes burned even brighter, his wild laughter resounding through the sky:

"Hahahaha! Satisfying! This is what you call a fight!" "Haotian! Don't be in such a rush to finish! The warm-up has only just ended!" "Today, even if a Saint comes, they won't be able to save your show!" "Tiance Divine Court members! Kill for me! Tear that Lingxiao Palace to pieces!"

A great battle, enough to be recorded in history and change the landscape of the Three Realms, officially began at this moment.
