Chapter 2160 - 2161: Beware of the Emperor! (Three Updates)

Void power emanated from the surface of the fissure. Emperor Nether continued forming hand formations, gradually stabilizing the void power within the fissure.

"Is this the special technique of the Kongming Divine Race? Truly formidable!"

Ling Feng’s eyelid twitched. Even though Emperor Nether wasn’t a good person, this technique was indeed impressive. He actually managed to stabilize void power!

Although he borrowed the strength of the Pocket World Device, his own control over void power likely reached an alarming level.

Just then, King Yaun came over casually, and as he reached Ling Feng’s side, he used Divine Sense Transmission, whispering almost inaudibly in Ling Feng’s ear, "Be wary of Father!"

After that, he walked away as if nothing had happened.

Ling Feng first gazed at King Yaun in surprise, then quickly diverted his eyes to avoid arousing Emperor Nether’s suspicion.

Be wary of Father?

King Yaun meant for Ling Feng to be cautious of Emperor Nether. Could it be that Emperor Nether would tamper with the time-space channel?

As the leader of a race, could Emperor Nether really be so petty?

Or perhaps...

In the next moment, Ling Feng suddenly realized that Emperor Nether had revealed Milo Continent’s greatest secret to him, perhaps with the intention of eliminating him from the start?

Ling Feng couldn’t help clenching his fist tighter; King Yaun’s warning might be because Yeu Junyao was with him, and he didn’t want Yeu Junyao to die alongside him?

Maybe that’s the only reasonable explanation.

As Ling Feng pondered, Emperor Nether had completed the construction of the void channel.

"Brother Ling, the time-space channel has been constructed. You can use this channel to return to Xuanling Continent."

Emperor Nether’s face bore a slight smile, chuckling, "I’ve set the space connection point as far west as possible on Xuanling Continent. It should connect to the West Sword Domain you mentioned."

"Haha!"

Ling Feng steadied himself and said in a deep voice, "Then I must thank your Majesty, Emperor Nether!"

"It’s just fulfilling the agreement! Brother Ling may proceed."

Emperor Nether spoke with a hint of urgency in his voice, "Maintaining this channel requires considerable strength, so it’s best not to waste time."

"Alright."

Just as Ling Feng was about to step forward, Yeu Junyao, unaware of the trap, rushed toward the channel first.

Ling Feng’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly moved forward to pull Yeu Junyao back, but a strong force erupted from behind him as Emperor Nether struck, sending both Ling Feng and Yeu Junyao into the channel.

"There was indeed a conspiracy!"

Ling Feng’s pupils contracted, and although he realized it too late, they were already consumed by the void channel.

In a flash of darkness, the void channel closed, and Ling Feng and Yeu Junyao vanished into the void.

"Yu’er! No!"

King Yaun looked at Yeu Junyao’s disappearing form, ultimately unable to prevent it.

Under his father’s authority, he lacked the courage to save his beloved!

Tears of regret swirled in his eyes. He had never felt more useless than at this moment.

Meanwhile, the Pocket World Device ceased operation, leaving only Emperor Nether’s loud laughter echoing in the vast plaza.

"Haha!"

Emperor Nether laughed unrestrainedly, cold light gleaming in his eyes, "Ling Feng, Ling Feng, slowly decay in the time-space turbulence!"

"Father, how... how can you go back on your word! Betray your promise!"

King Yaun gritted his teeth fiercely, his eyes bloodshot.

"A man without cruelty can hardly be a ruler! Besides, I did promise to send him back to the outside world, but the instability of the time-space channel leading to accidents is a normal occurrence!"

Emperor Nether gave a cold smile, "In the end, blame him for knowing things he shouldn’t and daring to negotiate with me! People like that deserve to die!"

King Yaun took a deep breath. Although he had known for a long time that his father was not a kind person, he was considered a hero of his time. But now it seemed he wasn’t even a hero but merely a petty man.

Utterly a petty man!

"Fourth son, you’ve always been too soft-hearted since you were a child, merciful like a woman! This is entirely unlike me. From today onwards, you should change this!"

With that, Emperor Nether turned arrogantly and left, a sense of triumphant glee on his face, finally having rid himself of a problem.

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the void channel, darkness surrounded them, time-space turbulence squeezed and slammed them around, far from feeling like a transport, but rather like drifting aimlessly.

Ling Feng was enveloped in a Swallowing Flame, protecting Yeu Junyao and himself within.

Thanks to King Yaun’s warning, Ling Feng wasn’t caught off guard, or else he might have perished in the time-space turbulence due to Emperor Nether’s scheme.

"Damn Emperor Nether, such a bastard!"

Ling Feng couldn’t contain the rage in his heart, feeling disbelief that Emperor Nether, a leader, would resort to such graceless actions.

Even after handing over the Star Essence Stone, Emperor Nether still sought to utterly eliminate him!

"Stubborn... Hey, what’s happening now?"

Yeu Junyao looked around at the surrounding darkness. Were it not for Ling Feng’s timely embrace and using Flame Power to repel time-space turbulence, she might have suffered.

At this moment, she remained nestled in Ling Feng’s arms, feeling a bit bashful yet didn’t dare push him away.

"Isn’t it obvious? We’ve been screwed over! That damned old bastard!"

Ling Feng clenched his fist and cursed under his breath.

Unfortunately, King Yaun’s warning came too late, and they had already fallen into the trap. With so many Kongming Divine Race masters present, even if he resisted, the outcome was inevitable.

Temporarily, he could use Swallowing Flame to resist the time-space turbulence, but once they ventured into the void’s depths, where the turbulence grew even more violent, it would be beyond the ability of someone as insignificant as him to withstand.

The time left for him wasn’t much!

"So what do we do now?"

Yeu Junyao bit her silver teeth, "I don’t want to die young!"

"I don’t want to die young either!"

Ling Feng felt overwhelmed, having spent the recent days focused on cultivation, not taking time to carefully consider that such a person as Emperor Nether could never be trusted.

At the heart of the matter, it was his eagerness to return to the West Sword Domain that played into the other’s hand.

"Currently, the strength of the Pocket World Device seems to linger, defending against most time-space turbulence, but what comes next is the time-space tide, and my Swallowing Flame may not withstand it!"

Ling Feng furrowed his brow deeply; even now, the Swallowing Flame’s range shrank, forcing Ling Feng and Yeu Junyao to cling tightly together, nearly getting flattened into one mass.

"I say, Lady Yeu, you’re the descendant of the Divine Race. Surely you have some life-saving trump cards!"

Ling Feng directed his gaze toward Yeu Junyao. Under the current circumstances, he was at a loss, and turned to Yeu Junyao.

"I..."

Yeu Junyao pulled a sad face, "I have plenty of escape treasures, but none that can extricate from time-space turbulence! Moreover, those non-directional teleportation scrolls, using one here might directly send us into the heart of the time-space tide, which is akin to courting death!"

Sweat broke out on Ling Feng’s forehead; was this how he would perish in the time-space turbulence?
