Chapter 1323: Subduing Qiu Yue

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next instant, with nearly two hundred Saint of Battle elites locked in fierce combat above the sky, the astonishing aftershocks of battle Qi, accompanied by multicolored rays, surged outward in all directions, continuously battering everything around.

The battle of the two hundred Saints of Battle, with their relentless barrage of powerful techniques, almost obscured the entire sky.

Even the sunlight at that moment was eclipsed by the battle Qi radiance released by Lin Feng and the troops of the Tongling Sect.

And on this massive battlefield, the area where Lin Feng and Qiu Yue stood was the most intense.

The latter, at this moment, sought revenge for the great grudge earlier.

Each strike, truly, was delivered with twelvefold force.

As for Lin Feng, faced with the former's ferocious assault, he wore a grave expression while constantly dodging, rarely engaging directly.

"Xiao Yan, have some guts—duel me like a man, and stop constantly hiding!"

Watching Xiao Yan's continual evasion, Qiu Yue was so angry his teeth felt like they might shatter.

After all, earlier more than sixty opponents swarmed him, blasting him hundreds of li away.

This caused Qiu Yue to lose face terribly in front of so many.

He could not possibly ignore such a great vendetta.

"Heh, whether I have guts or not, as long as my wives know, that's enough. As for you, you brainy yet simple‑limbed fool, why should I prove anything in front of you."

At that point, Lin Feng smirked and teased, "Of course, if your wife is beautiful enough, summon her over; I wouldn't mind showing off my prowess before you, and even gifting you a cute little brat."

"Asshole, go die!"

Yet faced with the former's teasing, the hot‑tempered Qiu Yue said nothing and immediately retaliated with a punch.

Naturally, that punch was also deftly dodged by Lin Feng, causing no real harm to the latter.

At the same time, Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly as a plan formed silently in his mind.

By analyzing those attacks, he confirmed that Qiu Yue had also sustained considerable injuries in the earlier onslaught.

After all, today's attacks were considerably weaker than usual.

That wasn't surprising, since earlier dozens of Saints of Battle had attacked in unison.

Although none revealed their strongest cards, even a hurried strike from dozens of Saints fell simultaneously.

That power alone would be enough for Qiu Yue to drink a whole pot.

Of course, Lin Feng had no intention of continuing to dodge forever.

Shortly after the opponent attacked again, having confirmed Qiu Yue's true combat strength, he suddenly halted his body amid the former's pursuit.

Then, when Qiu Yue was startled by his sudden stop, he swiftly turned around and hurled a basket of dazzling Fire Lotuses.

At the same time, before the opponent could utter a word, Lin Feng slipped away instantly, sprinting to the side.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the next instant, a massive swarm of Fire Lotuses erupted almost simultaneously, instantly unleashing all their internal energy.

Wave after wave of flames spread rapidly from the explosion of the colorful Fire Lotuses.

In the sky above, a vast ocean of flame formed.

Simultaneously, the terrifyingly powerful flame ocean, as it spread, nearly obliterated every space, mountain and obstacle in its path.

Amid the raging fire sea, Lin Feng and the Xiao Ling within him suddenly began forming identical hand seals in unison.

At the same time, as their hand seals shifted, tiny flame lotuses quietly appeared in each of Lin Feng's black‑and‑white twin‑fish pupils.

Likewise at that moment, a cataclysmic, storm‑like aura surged violently from his body, as if to annihilate everything.

Whoosh

As that apocalyptic aura raged wildly from Lin Feng's core, his body suddenly ignited on its own without warning.

The golden flames, in an instant, filled every corner of Lin Feng's body—skin, muscle, bone.

At that very moment, each part of his body turned transparent, then was instantly suffused with the golden flame!

Sizzle.

As the golden flames blazed within Lin Feng, the fire spread wildly, turning his entire body the same hue.

Even his black‑and‑white wings behind him were swiftly engulfed by the flames, forming a pair of wings cloaked in a layer of golden fire.

"Piercing Heart Fist!"

Yet just as Lin Feng merged with Xiao Ling, a massive black silhouette surged out of the fire sea, its fist clenched and slammed toward the former.

"Dragon Emperor Bell!"

Facing the attack, Lin Feng showed no panic, calmly unleashing a streak of golden light.

The swift golden streak zipped to the space before the charging Qiu Yue, then instantly transformed into a golden bell that plummeted down.

The former, who happened to be flying into the empty space below, was unsurprisingly enveloped directly by the bell.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

As the golden bell fell, the next moment a series of deep, resonant chimes rang endlessly across the realm.

As for Lin Feng, he used that time to complete his Dragon Transformation.

With countless purple‑golden dragon scales covering his body, the former did not stop, immediately channeling more battle Qi.

Then, lime‑colored energy spread from his core, swiftly enveloping his entire form.

Immediately, the lime energy solidified rapidly into a gray, stone‑like substance, shielding Lin Feng completely.

As the gray energy dispersed, every part of the former's body received a boost!

Now Lin Feng's physique, though not as massive and imposing as Qiu Yue's,

still would be noticeable to those with keen perception.

Encased entirely by dragon scales and gray solid, he now exuded a faint yet palpable barbaric aura.

Combined with the raging, barbaric aura, his body churned with ever‑burning golden flames.

From a distance, he now looks just like a nine‑tier monster that wants to devour people.

Ha!

Unleashing the Heaven Stone Eternal Body, Lin Feng does not pause at all and immediately darts fiercely toward the golden great bell.

Boom!

And at the instant the former's figure vanished, Qiu Yue, far away, also succeeded in shattering Lin Feng's Dragon Emperor Bell and reappeared in the sky.

However, just as he emerged, he suddenly heard a piercing sonic boom coming from behind him.

In the next moment, aided by years of combat experience, his body instinctively turned around in an instant, and then he crossed his arms to block in front of himself.

At the same time, his legs bent quickly, and his head tucked behind his arms, protecting his vulnerable parts as best as he could.

Bang!

Just as the former finished his defensive stance, Lin Feng's fist slammed with full force onto Qiu Yue's arms. Immediately afterward, as if struck by a meteor, his previously stationary body transformed into a shooting star, blasting rapidly toward the rear‑right.

Having taken Lin Feng's punch, Qiu Yue instantly began snarling uncontrollably.

"Damn it, this Xiao Yan's flesh—why is it much stronger than when I met him before!"

Because Lin Feng's body has already been tempered once by the reincarnation's primordial Imperial Qi, and further empowered by Dragon‑Phoenix power and the Stone Clan's Body‑Stabilizing Technique Heaven Stone Eternal Body, the punch that hits Qiu Yue feels as if he were struck hard by a nine‑star mid‑stage Battle Saint‑level monster.

At the same time, under the former's heavy blow, his arms quickly became reddened and swollen.

However, because Lin Feng had not previously found an opportunity to severely wound or kill Qiu Yue, he only displayed these.

Now that the opponent suddenly shows such overwhelming physical strength, Qiu Yue for a moment, even if he racked his brain, cannot figure out why.

"Reincarnation Three Absolutes·Reincarnation Devouring Heaven and Earth!"

While the former was puzzled, Lin Feng, far away, immediately seized the opening, quickly gathered his battle Qi, and formed a "Black Sun" behind himself.

At the same time, thin strands of black flame silently began to burn atop the black vortex.

Hoo‑hoo!

However, once the "Black Sun" formed, it immediately released a terrifying devouring force.

And with the aid of Wu Nie Tun Yan, this devouring force was taken by Lin Feng to its utmost limit.

Simultaneously, the Qiu Yue who was flung backward in the distance suddenly halted his body under the pull of the opposite black vortex.

Immediately after, he suddenly realized that the battle Qi inside him was steadily draining away.

Ha!

Seeing this, the quick‑witted Qiu Yue did not hesitate; he instantly used his battle Qi to construct several barriers in front of himself, aiming to stop the Qi from leaking out.

However, after the defenses were built, his brows suddenly knit tightly.

Because, despite the multiple shield defenses, why does his internal Qi still keep draining nonstop?

But that cannot be blamed on him; after all, he had little prior contact with Lin Feng's Wu Nie Tun Yan.

He did not know that this bizarre fire, ranked second on the anomalous fire list, has a devouring power that can pierce both Qi and soul defenses.

If the strength gap were not so great, or if he were not wielding some peculiar treasure.

Otherwise, it would be nearly impossible to resist this devouring force.

Of course, if Qiu Yue were an Imperial Realm soul, he would certainly notice that throughout this world, countless strands of ultra‑fine black flames already permeate the air.

And these flames, the moment they touch Qi or soul defenses, strangely ignore the barriers, then pierce through and drift toward Qiu Yue's body.

As for the source of these flames, a glance shows they spread from the black vortex behind Lin Feng.

"Damn, this kid is just too bizarre!"

Realizing his internal Qi was continuously draining, Qiu Yue clenched his fists tightly.

However, the next moment, his body suddenly jolted violently.

Then, using his own great strength, he forcefully broke free from the pull of the "Black Sun" behind Lin Feng.

After escaping, Qiu Yue ignored the Qi loss inside him and charged straight toward the distant Lin Feng.

After all, once the culprit is dealt with, this bizarre devouring force will naturally cease to exist.

However, Lin Feng could not simply stand there foolishly watching the opponent approach.

So when Qiu Yue flew toward him, he did not hesitate, instantly flapped his black‑white dual wings and retreated.

After all, with his Heavenly Phoenix Speed and top‑grade Heavenly Tier body technique, he truly feared no one.

And Qiu Yue, seeing this scene, instantly became so angry he felt like spitting blood.

When Lin Feng re‑entered here a little over a month ago, having just advanced to a nine‑star mid‑stage Battle Saint, he originally intended to seize Xiao Yan and avenge his past humiliation.

But over the month of clashes, he was repeatedly thwarted.

Now, he has even been set up by the former, causing his combat power to wane and putting him at a disadvantage.

Whenever he thinks of this, Qiu Yue cannot help but tremble with anger.

However, Lin Feng doesn't care whether he's angry or happy; seeing that he had taken his opponent in one move, he immediately decided to devour everything in a single strike.

He will use this devouring force to wear down Qiu Yue, and when the opponent becomes even weaker, he will strike the final decisive blow.

After all, the opponent is injured and cannot exert his full strength, making it the perfect chance for him to heavily strike the Tongling Sect.

Therefore, whatever he says today, he must make the opponent lie obediently on the bed for a short time.

Then, he will have the chance to take his wife and concubine to storm the Yellow Dragon, and also deal with the lone‑fighting Han Yu.

"Kid, can you only hide like a turtle?"

And Qiu Yue, seeing the former constantly running around without engaging him, and using that bizarre devouring force to continuously siphon his Qi, became so enraged he jumped like a thunderbolt.

However, regarding the former's insults, Lin Feng showed no reaction, as if he hadn't heard them.

He simply continued to run silently, still absorbing Qi.

Seeing this, Qiu Yue was so angry his teeth nearly shattered from clenching.

He has lived in this ancient southern region for so many years, from birth till now, and has never seen anyone as shameless as this!

"Looks like it's almost done."

After the stalemate continued for a while, Lin Feng's eyes instantly flashed with a sharp light, and his soul power swiftly swept over the whole battlefield.

In an instant, the various battle situations around him instantly flashed into Lin Feng's mind.

Now, Han Yu is being overwhelmed by the three women—Xiao Yixian, Cai Lin, and Qing Lin—who make him unable to defend himself.

Han Yu, though he relies on the veteran Nine‑Star mid‑stage Battle Saint's power, forcibly suppresses the three women.

But unfortunately, the three women have never been defeated; they can still keep him pinned in place, unable to support anyone else.

As for the other battlefields, because there are fewer people on Lin Feng's side, his concubines still have a speed advantage.

But when fighting, they are still at a disadvantage.

They can only rely on the camaraderie forged on the couch, cooperating with each other, barely holding back the opponent's attacks.

Nevertheless, even so, Lin Feng's concubines still show no anxious expression, merely maintaining the status quo in silence.

This demeanor seems as if they already have a clear plan for the situation before them.

"Everyone, act according to the plan!"

At the same time, after Lin Feng surveyed the battlefield, he suddenly released an invisible soul force, and the words suddenly echoed in the minds of every concubine and his wife present.
