Chapter 1775 - 5: Narrow Encounter with a Nemesis

"Dawn is breaking..."

Lin Feng looked at the sliver of pale light rising at the horizon and couldn’t help but murmur.

The darkness dissipated.

Daylight descended.

This night was anything but peaceful.

Countless people flocked to the square to perform the triple kneel and nine kowtows to the Red Emperor Divine Statue.

...

"Though the Red Emperor has perished, his will is undying! Truly worthy of being the ancestor of the Human Clan! Even in death, his lingering obsession still protects the safety of the Human Clan!"

Young Master Mingyue mused to himself.

"Indeed, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, both in life and death, have been guarding the Human Clan," Lingyun Immortal remarked wistfully.

Lin Feng and his group arrived at the square, looking at the statue of the Red Emperor, sincerely filled with deep admiration.

This was a reverence that stemmed from the depths of the soul.

The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, they are the ancestors of the Human Clan, and often, just thinking of their names is enough to command respect.

Lin Feng and others stayed in Chongli City for five days.

Before leaving, they once again went to the Red Emperor’s Divine Statue to pay their respects.

Only then did they leave Chongli City.

"Where do those dark life forms slumber?" Lin Feng frowned slightly and couldn’t help but speak.

When the endless darkness descended, the dark life forms came from afar.

When the darkness dissipated, they vanished without a trace.

It made Lin Feng extremely curious about where these dark life forms had gone.

"Perhaps it’s a mysterious world! Or maybe an unknown space!"

Huowu Immortal speculated.

The crowd nodded; it was indeed a possibility.

But within a thousand years, there’s no need to worry about those dark life forms again.

The next appearance.

Will be a thousand years later.

Another new cycle.

...

On the road, the group didn’t pause at all, quickly heading toward the Underground Great Rift Valley leading to the Underworld.

Half a month later, they saw the rolling black mist deep in the Ancient Forest, covering the sky.

Within a hundred miles around, everything was silent, without any signs of life.

"The area covered by the black mist is where the Underground Great Rift Valley is located!"

Lei Qian said.

"I remember Senior Brother Lei entered the Underground Great Rift Valley ten years ago, didn’t you?" Young Master Mingyue said.

Lei Qian nodded and said, "At that time, the Ancient Demons of the Original Demon Country had set up a Demon Emperor Altar, intending to open a passage to the Demon Realm and let the Great Emperor of the Demon Realm descend upon Jiuzhou. Therefore, many strong practitioners entered the Original Demon Country to thwart this event, and I was also involved in the battle. After a bloody struggle, we finally destroyed the Demon Emperor Altar!"

Although Lei Qian spoke calmly, everyone knew that it must have been extremely dangerous at the time.

It should be noted that within the Original Demon Country, there were exceptionally talented individuals.

The Original Demon Clan was much more terrifying than the Heavenly Demon.

And much more ancient than the Heavenly Demon.

There are rumors that the Heavenly Demon and Earth Demon were actually created as slaves by the Original Demon Clan.

But as time passed.

The Heavenly Demon and Earth Demon became stronger and eventually gradually broke free from the control of the Original Demon Clan.

Lin Feng and others quickened their pace and soon arrived at the Underground Grand Canyon here.

The Underground Grand Canyon stretched as far as the eye could see, immensely vast.

Black mist surged from the depths of the Grand Canyon.

Piercingly cold breaths wafted out, giving a spine-chilling feeling.

Lin Feng and others stood outside the Underground Grand Canyon, gazing into its depths.

Lei Qian said, "Everyone, be careful! There are ancient magic corpses drifting in the Grand Canyon! We don’t know the origins of these magic corpses, so be cautious when entering, and never disturb the magic corpses, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The crowd nodded and was about to enter the Underground Grand Canyon.

Suddenly.

From afar, a dozen streaks of light flew over.

They moved as fast as lightning.

Descending upon them.

"Hahahaha! So it’s you..." A burst of laughter echoed.

Dugu Ditian stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a presence that seemed to devour rivers and mountains, coldly surveying Lin Feng and the others.

"Members of the Supreme Immortal Sect!"

Lin Feng couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

He didn’t recognize the others.

But he recognized Dugu Ditian.

Clearly, this was a group of experts from the Supreme Immortal Sect, led by Dugu Ditian.

This Dugu Ditian was exceedingly arrogant.

Back then, he chased Young Master Mingyue, pursuing him all the way into the Reincarnation Ancient Forest.

He truly didn’t regard the Reincarnation Immortal Sect at all.

The rest, upon seeing Dugu Ditian and his group, couldn’t help but frown slightly.

The relationship between the Reincarnation Immortal Sect and the Supreme Immortal Sect had never been good.

The two sides were always in open and covert conflict.

"Let’s move!"

Huowu Immortal said, not wanting to engage in conflict with these people from the Supreme Immortal Sect.

Moreover, there were only eight people from the Reincarnation Immortal Sect.

Seventeen from the Supreme Immortal Sect.

The difference in numbers was too great.

"Did I let you leave?" Dugu Ditian’s voice was indifferent.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

As soon as his words fell, those disciples of the Supreme Immortal Sect quickly flew out, heavily surrounding Lin Feng and the others.

"What do you mean by this?" Lei Qian asked coldly.

Dugu Ditian disregarded Lei Qian and instead looked at Young Master Mingyue, indifferently saying, "Situ Mingyue! If not for the intervention of the ancestor of the Reincarnation Immortal Sect last time, you would have died by my hand! Now that we meet again, today is your death day! If you end yourself, I won’t trouble the others from the Reincarnation Immortal Sect. But if you don’t value your life, all will die here today!"

This Dugu Ditian was truly excessively arrogant.

The eight of the Reincarnation Immortal Sect were among the top experts.

However.

It seemed they were unworthy in his eyes.

"Many people have wanted our lives, but who do you think you are?" Lin Feng sneered.

"Pfft!"

Huowu Immortal, Lingyun Immortal, and Lianyue Immortal couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Even Young Master Mingyue, Young Master Hann Shan, Young Master Qiu Feng, and Lei Qian chuckled.

Despite the current crisis, Lin Feng still had the mood to jest with Dugu Ditian.

He really was an optimist.

Dugu Ditian’s expression immediately darkened, and he coldly looked at Lin Feng, disparagingly saying, "With a character like yours, all you can do is talk. A waste like you doesn’t even qualify to die by my hand."

Lin Feng thought he was already arrogant enough.

He didn’t expect Dugu Ditian to be even more arrogant.

Actually being looked down upon by Dugu Ditian.

"Anyone can boast, but to see if there’s real skill, one must take action. The most shameful thing is to boast endlessly but end up being stomped to death with a single step."

Lin Feng sneered.

"Since you wish to die so much, I can oblige and crush you like an ant."

Dugu Ditian stepped forward.

Lin Feng sneered back, without a hint of fear.

He actually wanted to test his combat power now.

At this time, Young Master Mingyue said, "Junior Brother Lin! Let me handle this battle!"

Lin Feng looked at Young Master Mingyue.

He saw the determination in his eyes.

Lin Feng recalled the scene of Young Master Mingyue being injured and chased by Dugu Ditian, and it was clear that Young Master Mingyue also held a grudge in his heart.

Now that Young Master Mingyue wanted to fight Dugu Ditian, Lin Feng naturally understood his feelings.

He nodded and stepped back three paces.

As Young Master Mingyue walked step by step towards Dugu Ditian, he said coldly, "Last time, you chased me while I was injured. Now I’ve recovered and want to experience your Heavenly Emperor Tyrant Body!"
