Demon Dragon Mad God

He did not believe Lin Feng was resisting the great calamity out of duty; it was undoubtedly due to his own ambition and desires.

"Are you willing to become a sacrificial lamb slaughtered by the trialists? Are you willing to let the Heavenly Vault World be prey to the Witch Clan for generations? Don’t you want to resist?" Lin Feng’s eyes burned with intensity, as he fixed his gaze on Zhan Luan, asking three consecutive questions.

Zhan Luan frowned upon hearing this; of course, he was unwilling, but what could unwillingness do?

According to the records of previous generations in the War God Temple, the Witch Clan was an invincible force. Their only hope for survival was to hide and evade.

"Answer me, are you willing?" Lin Feng suddenly barked coldly, his voice rolling with force, a domineering and majestic aura bursting skyward from him.

"Unwilling!" Faced with Lin Feng’s sudden change, Zhan Luan was momentarily dazed and replied instinctively.

"Since you’re unwilling, then follow me, defeat the trialists, break out of the Heavenly Vault World, and seek the freedom we deserve!" Lin Feng’s expression was solemn, and his voice was incredibly deep.

Defeating the trialists, breaking out of the Heavenly Vault World, seeking our freedom—

Lin Feng’s words echoed ceaselessly within Zhan Luan’s mind.

Zhan Luan was shocked; he did not expect Lin Feng to harbor such grand ambitions. Was it possible?

This thought had been the aspiration of countless predecessors in the Ancient Era, for which they had all strived.

But for countless millennia, generations and generations, no one had succeeded.

To resist only brought about brutal slaughter, with no exceptions.

Thus, in the present Heavenly Vault World, facing the great calamity brought by the trialists, the focus was no longer on resisting but on how to hide and evade!

"Can you do it?" Zhan Luan asked blankly. Although he knew Lin Feng’s talent was terrifyingly exceptional, suppressing all of eternity, he still couldn’t quite believe Lin Feng could accomplish this monumental feat.

Since ancient times, there have been too many stunningly gifted geniuses who ultimately met their demise at the hands of the trialists.

Like the ancestor of the Dugu Family, the forger of ten billion Demon Swords, Dugu Shang.

In the Ancient Era, Dugu Shang was a peerless genius, unmatched in the world. To resist the trialists, he even forged the terrifying magic weapon of ten billion Demon Swords.

But ultimately, Dugu Shang still ended in failure.

However, if there truly was a possibility of accomplishing this feat, Zhan Luan would not refuse. For he is also deemed the most outstanding genius of this era, destined to shoulder his responsibilities.

"If I don’t succeed, I will die trying!" Lin Feng said calmly. He would certainly go through with this, not only to save the Heavenly Vault World but also for his own destiny.

Moreover, Lin Feng knew that with his current cultivation, breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm within the Heavenly Vault World was impossible.

Because in the Heavenly Vault World, resources were already severely depleted, and the fortunes had been exhausted.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for a Martial Emperor to emerge in the present Heavenly Vault World; producing a Wu Sen was already a miracle.

Lin Feng wanted to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm in the Heavenly Vault World, but it was incredibly difficult. Without becoming a Martial Emperor, he could not save Qian Xunyue.

So, considering all these factors, Lin Feng was determined to leave the Heavenly Vault World.

Gazing at the resolute look in Lin Feng’s eyes, Zhan Luan’s emotions stirred, unable to calm down for a long time. He felt as if the blood in his veins was being energized.

"Do you have a specific plan?" Zhan Luan asked in a deep voice.

"Any plan is futile. Only by becoming stronger can there be hope for victory!"

Lin Feng’s eyes sparkled with light as he continued, "The Heavenly Vault Divine Palace has countless ancient top-tier martial arts. With our talent, eight or nine years are sufficient!"

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Zhan Luan fell silent, contemplating continuously.

Indeed, as an ancient overlord-level force, the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace holds an abundance of ancient and supremely powerful martial arts—none could doubt this.

If they had access to such martial arts and combined the resources of the entire Heavenly Vault World, with their talent, their power could reach an extreme within a few years.

At that time, there may truly be hope for victory.

The most crucial element is that, with a genius like Lin Feng, whose talent defies conventional logic, accomplishing this feat is not out of the question.

Moreover, in the current era, as the strength of the Heavenly Vault World diminishes, the trialists that descend are also becoming weaker, far from comparable to those in the Ancient Era.

"Good, I am willing to join the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace!"

After a lengthy silence, Zhan Luan nodded heavily; he was moved!

The development of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace had already set fully on track. Each of the Nine Great Palaces had Elders and disciples numbering twenty to thirty thousand.

Apart from the Changqing Palace and Thunder Palace, the other seven palaces all had successors.

The entire development of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace was in a thriving state.

For the next period, Lin Feng had temporarily stopped cultivating, taking time to accompany Xi’er and his father, leading a relatively leisurely life.

Members of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect seemed to have vanished entirely, as no amount of probing from the Heaven and Sea Pavilion could yield the slightest trace.

This left Lin Feng in frustration; the Yellow Springs Demon Sect had already become a thorn in his side, something he couldn’t rest easy without removing.

Because the Yellow Springs Demon Sect could inflict significant damage on the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace at any moment.

Moreover, the Yellow Springs Demon Sect was connected to the trialists, and failing to eradicate them entirely could lead to unforeseen changes.

But with the vastness of the Heavenly Vault World, without special means, it was truly challenging to locate the members of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect.

Currently, aside from finding the members of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect, Lin Feng had two other tasks: deciding on the successors for the Thunder Palace and the Changqing Palace, and unifying the Heavenly Vault World.

However, there was no rush for the latter; once the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace grew to a certain extent, it would come naturally.

By then, even the largest other forces would have little desire to resist.

The key was the matter of choosing successors, which would require some effort.

Lin Feng had already chosen a candidate for the Thunder Palace: his former Spiritual Beast, Xiao Ba.

As for the Changqing Palace, he had initially considered Hong Qingxuan as the successor, but now that Hong Qingxuan had suffered this great calamity, she might no longer be able to succeed as the Changqing Palace’s heir. Lin Feng had to find someone else.

Among the disciples of the Changqing Palace, there were already a few promising candidates, and Lin Feng had Qing Yi keep a close eye on them.

Time flew by, day after day, and in an instant, five months had passed.

During these five months, members from countless major forces in the Heavenly Vault World came to the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace to present gifts, congratulating Lin Feng on ascending as the strongest within the Heavenly Vault World, as a gesture to win his favor.

However, aside from personally meeting the East Sea Dragon King, Lin Feng saw no one else, leaving the elders, including Emperor Shih, responsible for receiving them while he focused on his cultivation.

In five months, Lin Feng’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Fourth Layer of the Martial Emperor Realm, but the resources obtained from the Yin Family had been entirely exhausted, and he had no strength to advance his cultivation.

Although the Heaven and Sea Pavilion was once extremely wealthy, since its headquarters were destroyed, many resources were no longer available.

Fortunately, with the Heaven and Sea Pavilion as a money-making machine, it was sufficient to support the operation of the entire Heavenly Vault Divine Palace effectively.

...

On this day, Lin Feng was practicing swordsmanship in a secluded garden within the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace.

His sword was extremely sharp, and each move was mysterious and unfathomable.

In recent years, Lin Feng had been under immense pressure every moment, leading him to cultivate desperately, focusing solely on enhancing his cultivation.

As a result, he had practiced various martial techniques very little, and even when he did, his mastery wasn’t deep.

Not only that, but even his prowess in the five Upper Grade Emperor Level cultivation techniques was not high.

Now with ample time, he would frequently practice swordsmanship, delving into sword techniques.

The Great Vault of Heaven Sword Technique encompasses a mysterious conception of heaven, earth, and all things in the universe and starry sky. Only by mastering this conception can one exert the strongest power of this sword technique.

Moreover, for martial arts above the Emperor Level, only by integrating the Power of Mystical Technique can they become more potent.

Lin Feng’s understanding of the Immortal Mystical Technique was decent, but this vast heavenly principle was indeed immense; he could only scratch the surface.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The sharp sword flickered, slicing through the air, with piercing sounds of the sky being torn echoing ceaselessly.

The sword light sometimes resembled the vastness of the heavenly vault, sometimes the broadness of the earth, and at times it transformed into a vast array of stars—profound beyond measure.

Tap! Tap! Tap!!

At this moment, a series of heavy footsteps resounded, and an elderly man with a very aged appearance arrived behind Lin Feng.

Lin Feng paused his sword, turned to look at the old man, and saw that it was Hai Mingjiang.
