Chapter 234: The Terrifying Sword Case

Lord Eight refused to believe that Lin Jiufeng was someone who only started cultivating in this era.

Before the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy, even the Martial Sage Realm was difficult to achieve. But after the recovery of the world’s spiritual energy, it had been less than a hundred years since then.

In such a short period of time, Lin Jiufeng was able to reach a realm that could kill those of the Void Returning Realm?

What a joke!

Lord Eight didn’t believe it from the bottom of his heart.

He would rather believe that Lin Jiufeng was a powerhouse from the previous era. He would rather believe that Lin Jiufeng had used some special method to awaken first and then help the Yuhua God Dynasty suppress this era.

But he had nothing to be afraid of.

With the pseudo-immortal artifact, the Tai Er Sword, he was confident.

He wanted to kill Lin Jiufeng to take revenge for his younger brother. Then, he would overthrow the Yuhua God Dynasty and rebuild the Taichu God Dynasty. In this new era, he wanted the royal family of the Taichu God Dynasty to continue ruling the world and restore the glory of the past, even surpassing the past glory.

After Lord Eight decided to go to the Yuhua God Dynasty’s imperial palace tomorrow, the subordinates of the Taichu God Dynasty began their preparations.

Prepare for what?

Naturally, they were preparing to replace the Yuhua God Dynasty. After Lord Eight killed the mysterious mastermind and controlled Emperor De, they would be able to appear and execute everything that they had prepared in an orderly manner.

The Taichu God Dynasty would reincarnate and be reborn from the land of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

…

The next day, nothing seemed to have happened.

Emperor De came to accompany Lin Jiufeng for a drink last night. He also relaxed a little today, which was rare for him. He wasn’t in the Great Council Hall. Due to the battle with Lord Nine, many places had been destroyed and were still being built and restored.

He came to accompany the Empress, ignored state affairs, and chatted about the things between husband and wife.

At night, he had a few drinks with the Empress and then prepared to do something that would make peace between couples.

But before Emperor De could go to bed, a loud sound came, giving Emperor De and the Empress a fright.

Boom!

“Guards!” The Empress’s expression changed as she immediately shouted.

Nothing happened.

“There’s no need to shout anymore. These guards all fainted under the pressure of my divine soul.” A cold voice sounded, carrying a lofty disdain.

Hearing these familiar words, Emperor De and the Empress looked at each other.

More than a month ago, they had heard these words. At that time, the Yuhua God Dynasty was almost wiped out.

That scene was repeating itself again today?

But this time, Emperor De was emboldened. He said solemnly, “Who are you? You’re hiding in the dark and sneaking around. What kind of hero are you?”

“I’m being sneaky?” Lord Eight smiled in disdain. “Raise your heads and take a closer look.”

Emperor De and the Empress immediately looked up and saw a person standing with his hands behind his back at the top of a palace.

A hooked nose, deep eye sockets, and that powerful aura.

“This…” The Empress watched in horror.

“Aren’t you dead?” The Empress asked in disbelief.

“Dead?” Lord Eight looked at Emperor De and the Empress coldly. With a tap of his toes, he instantly landed in front of Emperor De and the Empress.

Dong!

He landed, causing a huge depression in the ground of the imperial palace. His aura was powerful. Although he was a little old, he was at the peak of the Void Returning Realm.

Lord Eight didn’t care about the cultivation bases of Emperor De and the Empress at all. The robes on his body fluttered, and his aura was fully released. Behind him, a Yin-Yang Image rotated, making him look profound.

“I’m standing in front of you all safe and sound. Who said that I’m dead?” Lord Eight looked at the Empress coldly. His eyes were bloodshot as if there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood in them. It was very terrifying.

The Empress retreated in horror. Her willpower had been snatched away. She sank deep into the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, her body trembling.

“If you have any problem, target them at me. Why are you bullying a woman? You are a powerful cultivator, are you really not embarrassed?” Emperor De had the Energy of the Emperor to protect his body and also had the Golden Dragon of Destiny, so he was able to retain his willpower. He grabbed the Empress’s soft hand and stood in front of her, facing Lord Eight.

“You are the Emperor of the current world?” Lord Eight looked at Emperor De coldly.

If it wasn’t because he needed to use Emperor De to change the dynasty, he would have killed him now.

Emperor De was the culprit behind his younger brother’s death.

“Since you know, why aren’t you kneeling down?” Emperor De was full of confidence now. He knew that Lin Jiufeng had returned. His performance was completely different from the last time. Facing Lord Eight, he took out the aura of an emperor and glared at Lord Eight.

“You want me to kneel?” Lord Eight seemed to have heard something incredible. He was so angry that he laughed.

Clang!

Behind Lord Eight, the Yin-Yang Image suddenly changed. It transformed into a huge bell that was crystal clear like fine white jade. It flowed with precious splendor and emitted a deafening sound.

The bell quickly moved towards Emperor De and the Empress, wanting to suppress them.

“A mortal emperor dares to make act arrogantly in front of me? What right do you have to do so?” Lord Eight sneered.

“You fake Emperor, kneel down!!” Lord Eight shouted.

This roar was accompanied by the sound of the bell as it suppressed over.

Boom!

But at this moment, the war machine appeared. His expression was cold. With a loud roar, he punched out. A mountain of runes appeared behind him. It was very majestic. On top of the mountain, there were thousands of incantations written in ancient words.

The runes were originally carved in the cold and dead ancient language. But following the roar of the war machine, the ancient words were resurrected, revealing a huge world of runes.

One could clearly see that in this world of runes, there was an ancient land. On this ancient land, giants ran amok, savage dragons appeared, and three-legged golden crows streaked across the sky. They were incomparably powerful.

This world was lifelike. Although it only appeared for a short period of time, it was very resplendent. One second later, it transformed into a stream of light that integrated into the War Machine’s fist to increase the might of this punch.

Ancient Rune Fist!

At this moment, the divine bell rang as it rushed towards Emperor De.

In Lord Eight’s divine bell, there was also a world that belonged to Lord Eight. At this moment, this world trembled. It rushed up and directly collided with the Ancient Rune Fist.

The war machine was no longer the war machine from a month ago. In this month, he entered the Void Returning Realm.

Hence, he could use this Ancient Rune Fist that was once powerful for a period of time.

This punch contained ten Golden Crows. With a punch, ten Golden Crows soared through the sky and wreaked havoc in the world inside the divine bell.

This was an extremely terrifying collision. The world contained in the divine bell had a violent confrontation with the ancient land contained in the Ancient Rune Fist!

Dong dong dong!

At this moment, the eternal light in the divine bell drowned the ancient land. It was extremely terrifying. The power to destroy everything surged and devoured the Ancient Rune Fist.

Crack!

In the end, the Ancient Rune Fist was a little stronger. It shattered the phantom of the divine bell behind Lord Eight and made him take a few steps back as he watched in shock.

“Didn’t you just recover to the Spirit Platform Realm?” Lord Eight frowned. The situation was a little out of his expectations.

“That was more than a month ago.” Emperor De sneered.

A month ago, the war machine was only at the Spirit Platform Realm. In the battle with Lord Nine, the powerlessness of the war machine made Emperor De invest a lot of resources in him.

Since there were other Void Returning cultivators in this world, the war machine wouldn’t fall behind.

A month later, the war machine entered the Void Returning Realm. That was why he wasn’t at a disadvantage in the battle happening now.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At the critical moment, the war machine smashed down ruthlessly, shattering Lord Eight’s bell.

After being smashed, several black holes appeared in the surrounding space. These black holes seemed to be endless, linking together into one. There were also mustn’t traces of the broken world appearing in the void. Be it Lord Eight or the war machine, two living fossils that had existed for thousands of years, everything around them no longer existed.

The aftershock spread in all directions. It overturned the roof, pushed down the walls, and broke the ancient tree that the Empress raised.

This shockwave continued to expand. In the very next moment, it could destroy the entire Forbidden City.

The aftermath of a battle between two powerhouses of the Void Returning Realm was extremely terrifying.

Emperor De watched anxiously. The Forbidden City mustn’t be destroyed. This was the symbol of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s royal family.

Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng appeared at this moment.

Under the illumination of the night, he stepped into the Forbidden City.

Rumble!

The surging and violent energy ripples quickly calmed down. The excess energy was automatically dissected and scattered between heaven and earth.

The Forbidden City was saved.

Emperor De heaved a sigh of relief. If this Forbidden City was destroyed, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The Empress also calmed down. It was good as long as the war machine could withstand this enemy’s attack.

When the other powerhouses rushed over and saw this scene, they simultaneously surrounded Lord Eight.

Only Lord Eight’s heart was heavy. He looked around, stared at the war machine, and then looked at Lin Jiufeng who was still walking in the shadows. He felt bitter.

At this moment, he felt that his future was unpredictable.

In the intelligence that the Taichu God Dynasty gathered, the war machine had only just returned to the Spirit Platform Realm!

In the report, Lin Jiufeng wasn’t very powerful.

But now, Lord Eighth saw with his own eyes that the war machine wasn’t at the Spirit Platform Realm, but the Void Returning Realm.

Also, Lin Jiufeng ‘wasn’t very powerful’, but he could silently suppress the powerful impact of his collision with the war machine.

This was considered ‘wasn’t very powerful’?

To think that he, Lord Eight, was the king of the Taichu God Dynasty from the previous era. He could summon the wind and rain, rampage through the land, and was comparable to an ancient saint.

His heart was heavy, but he was still confident in himself. He stared at the war machine and Lin Jiufeng, took a deep breath, and chuckled.

“It seems that my intelligence is wrong. The war machine isn’t at the Spirit Platform Realm, but the Void Returning Realm.” Lord Eight licked his lips and said excitedly.

The war machine remained silent.

Lin Jiufeng, who was in the shadows, said calmly, “Who are you from the Taichu God Dynasty?”

Lin Jiufeng, who was planning to rest, sensed the energy fluctuations here and observed it.

In the beginning, he didn’t plan to come because the war machine was enough to resist the invading enemy.

But who knew that they couldn’t control the energy fluctuations from their battle and were about to destroy the Forbidden City? If Lin Jiufeng didn’t come, no one could have stopped it.

The War Machine wouldn’t consciously control its own energy. He was just a machine that only knew how to defeat his enemies.

As for Lord Eight, he didn’t want to control it at all. He just wanted to lure Lin Jiufeng out.

He succeeded in luring Lin Jiufeng out.

Lin Jiufeng walked one step and moved from the Cold Palace to the Forbidden City. Then, his foot landed. This huge energy impact instantly disappeared.

But since he was already here, Lin Jiufeng didn’t plan to return immediately.

He wanted to see how this person who resembled Lord Nine had the confidence to come here and behave atrociously.

“I’m Lord Eight. The Lord Nine that you killed is my younger brother!” Lord Eight gritted his teeth and said.

“Oh, then I’ll kill you on the way and let you brothers reunite. There’s no need to thank me.” After Lin Jiufeng knew the other party’s identity, he didn’t ask anymore and directly attacked.

Boom!

Right at this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the air. Then, a divine light shot out and struck towards Lord Eight’s head.

This was Lin Jiufeng’s divine soul killer move.

“Tai Er Sword!” Lord Eight roared. A sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

This was the pseudo-immortal artifact, Tai Er Sword.

As soon as this sword appeared, tens of thousands of white lights instantly scattered down from the sky. The body of the sword was jade-like and extremely powerful, emitting a terrifying aura.

This sword was comparable to millions of treasured swords. Sharp sword energy constantly erupted from it.

Lord Eight held the Tai Er Sword in his hand. Using the spiritual energy of the void as the ocean and the essence of the world as the source, the sword emitted a myriad of lights as Lord Eight charged forward.

He wanted to kill Lin Jiufeng.

“You will definitely not be able to withstand the sharpness of the Tai Er Sword!” Lord Eight was full of confidence. His face was filled with killing intent, a little crazy, and even demonic.

“Unfortunately, if you were to advance another realm and hold this sword in your hand, I would have to be serious.” But who knew that Lin Jiufeng was completely unafraid? He even shook his head and let out a regretful sound.

“What are you pretending for? Die!” Lord Eight shouted. After approaching, he stabbed with the Tai Er Sword.

“This sword isn’t bad. I shall add it to my collection.” Lin Jiufeng raised his hand, and a sword case appeared in his palm.

Ka ka ka!

The sword case opened a hole and directly absorbed the Tai Er Sword inside.

Boom!

The terrifying might of the sword case even broke Lord Eight’s arm when it absorbed the Tai Er Sword, preventing him from holding the Tai Er Sword.

“No… This is impossible… You are actually…” Lord Eight went crazy. It was only at this moment that he discovered Lin Jiufeng’s cultivation base. It was as if he was struck by lightning.

Pu!

He couldn’t speak anymore. The divine light from the void directly penetrated Lord Eight’s glabella and severed his divine soul.

Lord Eight fell straight down with a horrified expression.

As for Lin Jiufeng, he stood in the shadows. Everyone could only see a figure, but couldn’t his face clearly.

After killing Lord Eight, Lin Jiufeng took the sword case and turned around to leave without any hesitation.
