Chapter 221: Who Is Stealing My Sword?

Lin Feng stood like a pine, rooted at the center of the great hall.

Surging Spirit Qi swirled around him; the ninety-nine Blood Demon Stones had all shattered, and the tremendous power within them was drawn into his body by the Heaven-Swallowing Mysterious Art in great gulps.

At this moment, the Blood Qi transformed into incomparably pure cultivation.

Lin Feng's aura climbed steadily, but in truth he was still at the Nirvana Sixth Layer.

That world-pressing might caused the entire great hall to tremble.

Li Yingqian was inwardly horrified, thinking Lin Feng had only achieved such terrifying cultivation by devouring the Blood Demon Stones.

But in reality, Lin Feng had already been at this realm to begin with; the power within those Blood Demon Stones was of no use to him.

Even if there was any effect, it was merely making the Spirit Qi within him now somewhat denser.

Witnessing this, Li Yingqian's face flickered between light and shadow, a flash of disbelief crossing his eyes.

Yet he only grew angrier.

He had originally planned to seize Lin Feng's body and then devour the power of the Blood Demon Stones, so that his own cultivation would surely surge by leaps and bounds.

He never expected that all of this would end up benefiting Lin Feng instead.

Now Li Yingqian felt the humiliation of being made a fool, which drove him into uncontrollable rage.

"Lin Feng, how dare you steal this Crown Prince's fortune!"

Li Yingqian let out a roar, and Spiritual Power boiled around him.

His cultivation, originally at the Nirvana Third Layer, surged暴涨 at this moment to the Nirvana Fifth Layer.

A towering killing intent spread out.

As he reached out and grabbed, a Spirit Sword shimmering with Golden Light suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Today, I will make you bleed out on the spot!"

Li Yingqian roared angrily, his gaze flashing: "I will use this imperial clan treasure, the Heavenly Qilin Sword, to sever your head and make up for this Crown Prince's loss!"

The moment his words fell.

The Qilin totem on the blade flickered in and out of sight, radiating the terrifying might of an Eight-Star Spirit Treasure.

In Li Yingqian's hand, the sword seemed like a living true dragon; it threw its head back and let out a piercing shriek, then, carrying the force to split mountains and crack stone, thrust straight at Lin Feng's vital point.

But Lin Feng's expression didn't change, his figure light and graceful.

"Boom!"

With a tremendous crash, that sword slash landed right before Lin Feng.

The terrifying Sword Qi cut off the surrounding air, its vast and fearsome power leaving people wide-eyed and speechless.

This great hall had actually been blasted into collapse for the most part!

Countless bricks and stones flew through the air—so this Crown Prince Li Yingqian had also been hiding his true strength.

"Nirvana Fifth Layer, you've hidden it quite well," Lin Feng said indifferently.

As the Crown Prince of the Daqian Dynasty's imperial clan, Li Yingqian's strength was more than qualified; this cultivation was almost unmatched throughout the entire Daqian Dynasty, and even those hidden Venerables of the Lin Clan might not necessarily be Li Yingqian's match.

No wonder the Eight Great Families dared not rebel.

Just one Crown Prince alone possessed such cultivation, let alone that Emperor.

"Hmph!"

Li Yingqian gave a cold snort, and the Spirit Qi around him transformed into a dragon—indeed, a four-clawed true dragon coiled around his body.

As he softly chanted from his lips, a wave of mysterious, wonderful sound spread outward.

"Lin Feng! Don't think that just because you're at the Nirvana Sixth Layer, you can be invincible under heaven!"

"My imperial clan has ruled the Daqian Dynasty for thousands of years; the methods passed down through our lineage—how could your mere Lin Clan possibly comprehend them!"

"This Eight Star art, the Great Extinction Heaven Art—I will let you know exactly how vast the gap between you and me truly is!"

As Li Yingqian's words fell.

Instantly, Spirit Qi shot into the heavens.

Its vast and fearsome power surged straight up into the sky.

Outside the Imperial Palace, the people currently fighting the Black Armor Army all felt this destructive force at this moment.

"Damn, it's the imperial clan's Great Extinction Heaven Art!"

"Th-this... the one who broke in there, seems to be Lin Feng, right?"

"He's dead for sure!"

The people of the various great clans all revealed looks of horror—wasn't that aura shooting into the sky precisely the imperial clan's clan-suppressing treasure, the Great Extinction Heaven Art?

Back then, the founding ancestor of the Daqian Dynasty had relied on this Eight Star art to carve out a vast domain and establish the Daqian Dynasty.

Now that this art had appeared once more, it naturally made people's hearts tremble with fear.

"Hmph! Lin Clan, Mu Family, you truly are seeking death!"

"To dare raise a hand against the imperial clan, your crimes deserve death ten thousand times over!"

"Kill them! We shall come to the king's aid and protect his carriage!"

The remaining clans, at this very moment, all threw themselves into the battle at the same time.

They had been watching from the sidelines; in this battle, they needed to pick a side, and now the moment to make their choice had arrived.

Since the imperial clan had even brought out the Great Extinction Heaven Art, they would naturally be able to win easily.

This rebellion by the Lin Clan was simply a joke.

"Damn it, those several great clans have all started helping the Black Armor Army," Lin Xuan and the others' expressions darkened.

Originally, with the Lin Clan and Mu Family joining hands, the Black Armor Army had already been suppressed to the point of being utterly pinned down.

But with the entry of those several great clans, who chose to side with the Black Armor Army, the Lin Clan and Mu Family were once again plunged into great trouble.

On the Lin Clan's side, only Lin Kuohai and the Yellow Grade Puppet possessed cultivation at the Nirvana Realm.

As for the Mu Family, they too had only two Nirvana Realm experts.

But the remaining Six Great Families had joined forces, each dispatching one Nirvana cultivator — six in total — a number that already far exceeded what the Lin Clan and the Mu Family could bear.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Their advantage was reversed in an instant.

But at the same time, a series of astonishing explosions rang out across the sky.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, Li Yingqian activated the Great Extinction Heaven Art and casually flung out a strike, which actually carried the power of destruction within it.

"Die for this Crown Prince!" Li Yingqian roared.

That strike of his was more than enough to suppress Lin Feng.

But Lin Feng was not afraid in the slightest.

He spread his five fingers wide, and a force of devouring transformed into a vortex. With the Heaven-Swallowing Mysterious Art erupting forth, the force of devouring actually wrapped around Li Yingqian's attack.

Under the frenzied devouring, Li Yingqian's attack actually lost all effect.

"What?!"

Li Yingqian's pupils contracted — he clearly had not expected Lin Feng to be able to devour even his attack.

"Too weak." Lin Feng shook his head as he spoke. This Crown Prince of the imperial clan had left him deeply disappointed.

At this moment, the Tianqi Sword slashed out rapidly, weaving together a dense offensive that transformed into a Sword Qi halo like an inescapable net. That halo swept toward Lin Feng, like a great hand reaching out to seize him.

Lin Feng's gaze was icy cold. The force of devouring weakened the power of that halo, and then he simply flicked a finger.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud erupted into a vast, rumbling roar.

A ripple of Spirit Qi spread outward as well.

As the two clashed, surging Spiritual Power roiled, and the rumbling sounds never ceased. For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.

"Damnable — you little wretch can actually withstand this Crown Prince's sword might?" Li Yingqian said through gritted teeth. Relying on the might of the Great Extinction Heaven Art, even when facing those hidden Venerables of the Eight Great Families, he could still gain the upper hand.

Yet now, every sword strike he made was easily dissolved by Lin Feng.

Lin Feng could not be bothered to reply — the Tianhong Sword in his hand was the best response.

"Clang!"

The sword cry rang out, and a storm of Sword Qi swept forth.

Ten thousand swords trembled. Throughout the entire Imperial Capital, every Spirit Sword began to shake, and in the blink of an eye, they all actually surged toward Lin Feng's location.

"My Spirit Sword!"

"What's happening — where is it going?"

"Who is seizing my sword?"

Countless people were greatly alarmed. Their Spirit Swords had been conscripted as it were, and in perfect unison they arrived before Lin Feng.

This scene drew countless stares of utter astonishment.
