795 Martial Emperor

Unusually berserk and violent flames unfurled in the sky. The heat directlymelted the valley wall, creating an enormous hole.

Lin Dong’s expression was indifferent as he watched the rising flames. Themiserable cries within the flames continued for a while, before they finallydisappeared completely. The two auras inside also totally vanished after themiserable cries disappeared…

The flames continued to burn for quite some time, before gradually beginningto weaken. When the flames were extinguished, the two figures inside hadalready turned to ashes.

Two experts at the half-step to Profound Life stage were actually directlyincinerated into ashes by the Burning Sky Array!

“It is indeed worthy of being a Pure Yuan treasure…” Lin Dong involuntarilylicked his lips when he saw this scene. This Burning Sky Cauldron was trulyextremely powerful. From a certain point of view, it could be said to be evenstronger than the Heavenly Phoenix Zither in Ying Huanhuan’s hands.

“However, it consumes too much energy…” Lin Dong clenched his hand. TheBurning Sky Array was not maintained for very long, but the Yuan Power withinhis body had already been greatly exhausted. This Pure Yuan treasure might bepowerful, but it was not something that anyone could use. No wonder YingHuanhuan would feel so exhausted after using the Heavenly Phoenix Zither.

The flaming light array gradually disappeared at this moment. Finally, itturned into a flaming light, and entered the Burning Sky Cauldron. Followingthe disappearance of the flaming light, two black Qiankun bags appeared.

Lin Dong was clearly paying close attention to the activity within the BurningSky Array while he activated it earlier. This was because he was extremelyinterested in the ‘Martial Emperor Law’ the duo possessed. Hence, he had placeda little of his focus to protect their Qiankun bags. Otherwise, they would alsobe turned into ashes within the Burning Sky Array along with the Yang Zhan duo.

Lin Dong beckoned with his hand. The two Qiankun Bags flew over and landed inhis hands. A thought immediately passed through his mind as his Mental Energyentered.

Normally speaking, these Qiankun Bags would possess the mental energy brand ofits owner. However, the Yang Zhan duo had already turned into ashes along withtheir Yuan Spirits. Hence, their brand had likewise naturally faded. Therefore,Lin Dong’s Mental Energy was not obstructed in any way as it directly enteredand began to search profusely.

The things within the Yang Zhan duo’s Qiankun bags were quite messy. However,it could be considered rather abundant. There were all kinds of martial arts,however, none of them caught Lin Dong’s eye.

This search continued for a whole ten minutes. Only then, did a greyish-blackjade piece appear in Lin Dong’s hand. A mysterious ripple was vaguely beingemitted from within it. This fluctuation was completely similar to the martialarts that the Yang Zhan duo had unleashed earlier.

“It is this thing…”

Lin Dong held this greyish black jade piece, while joy flashed past his eyes.He could sense the tyrannical power of this ‘Martial Emperor Law’. Such amartial art had definitely reached the Heavenly Martial Art level. However, theYang Zhan duo had not completely mastered it. Otherwise, even if Lin Dong hadthe aid of the Burning Sky Cauldron, it would not be so easy to finish the twoof them off.

A thought passed through Lin Dong’s mind as he held the jade piece. His MentalEnergy swiftly entered it.

Buzz!

Lin Dong’s Mental Energy had just entered the jade piece, when a buzzing soundwas suddenly emitted from his mind. Soon after, everything in front of himturned black. The scenery changed, turning into a vast starry space.

This sudden change did not cause Lin Dong to panic. He understood that thisshould be the mental imprint left within the jade piece…

A distortion suddenly appeared in the vast starry space while Lin Dong wasquietly focusing his mind. A human figure slowly walked out from the distortedstarry space.

When the latter approached, Lin Dong realised the figure was clothed in greyclothes, and his figure was as tall and straight as a mountain. His appearancewas not handsome, but he gave off a majestic aura. At this moment, his radianceseemed to be even more dazzling than the bright starry space.

The person stood under the starry space before stepping forward. A fistdanced, while a profound martial art was displayed in a natural manner as hisfeet easily shifted. At that moment, it appeared as though the entire starryspace was trembling because of this.

A deep and hoarse voice, that seemed to have originated from the ancienttimes, resounded heavily within the starry space, while the martial arts wasbeing displayed.

“My entire life can be divided into three stages. In the earlier stage, Ibattled three thousand eight hundred times, but I failed to achieve a singlevictory. In the middle stage, I fought in five thousand and three hundredbouts, but I lost five thousand of them.”

Lin Dong was evidently extremely astonished when he heard these words. Thiselder’s honestly was rather ferocious. He had actually won only three hundredof his over nine thousand battles? This was truly a model example of someonewho kept fighting despite continual setbacks…

“In the final stage, I fought eight thousand battles, and lost… ten.”

However, Lin Dong was once again stunned when the following words. Soon after,he inhaled a breath of cool air. A mere ten losses in eight thousand fights…wasn’t the contrast a little too stark?

It must also be said that this person was a true battle fanatic. Such amindset caused Lin Dong to become speechless upon hearing about it. Lin Donghad also gained some comprehension after being surprised. This elder’s previousdefeats clearly allowed his experience to accumulate. He had discovered hisinadequacy during his fights, and continued to polish himself. It was likelythat he could already be considered a grandmaster at the final stage. He waslikely a pinnacle existence even among those at the top, and there wasnaturally not many who could defeat him.

Of course, what made Lin Dong even more curious, was just what kind ofabsolute powers did this battle fanatic elder end up losing those ten battlesto…

“While I was alive, others bestowed upon me the title Martial Emperor. Icontinued to accumulate martial arts and eventually created one of my own. Itis called the ‘Martial Emperor Law’. In the great world war, I relied on thismartial art to kill three generals and heavily injure a king. Although I fellin the end, this was sufficient for me to stand proud in this world.”

Lin Dong’s expression turned completely grave at this moment, and his heartfelt slightly shocked. This Martial Emperor was truly someone who defied thenatural order. He was actually able to rely on his own strength to kill threegenerals and seriously injure a king. This ability was likely considered topnotch even during those ancient times.

Lin Dong also understood a little about those unknown creatures. The black fogcreature, that old ghost Fen Tian had once again suppressed earlier, shouldbelong to the ‘general’ level. On the other hand, the one being suppressed bythe Great Desolate Tablet was at the ‘king’ level. Although the Martial Emperorhad fallen after completing this feat, his strength had likely already reacheda stage that could shock the entire world.

“Martial Emperor Law. It is difficult for an ordinary person to learn it.Anyone from the subsequent generations studying this martial art must notproclaim that you have obtained my inheritance if you fail to completely masterit!”

That final low and powerful sentence was filled with pride. It was likely thatthis Martial Emperor was also an extremely proud person. Hence, he did not wishfor his martial art to land in the hands of a mediocre person and ruin itsradiance.

That figure in the starry space had also reached the final part of histechnique while this final sentence faded. In the end, a punch was unleashed.Immediately, the entire starry space began to rumble and shake. Stars from allover fell from the sky and crashed in the ground with a bang…

“Huff.”

Lin Dong let out a deep breath. His eyes faintly contained some shock. Thename of this martial art was indeed worthy of its reputation. It was simply awaste for such a martial art to land in the hands of the Yang Zhan duo.

The domain began to collapse the moment the stars fell. Lin Dong’ssurroundings changed, as he once again recovered his sight, and returned to thevalley once again.

“This martial art is great.”

Lin Dong held the jade piece as he stared blankly at it for a moment. Finally,his lips parted into a grin. The martial art that the figure from earlier haddisplayed was already completely engraved into his mind. Its majestic aura waseven stronger than the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Hand that Lin Dongpracticed. His gains this time was clearly far greater than expected…

“Martial Emperor elder, it is likely that your martial art’s name will nolonger be dishonoured now that it has landed in the hands of this young one.”

Lin Dong softly muttered to himself. The Martial Emperor was prideful when hespoke. Similarly, Lin Dong also had a pride that belonged to himself. He didnot wish to compare himself to the Martial Emperor. However, now that thismartial art had landed in his hands, he would definitely bring out the radianceit deserved.

After Lin Dong’s self mutterings faded, he flipped his hand and kept the jadepiece in his Qiankun bag. His descended from the air, and sat down beside theSupreme Purity Celestial Pond, as he quietly waited for Ling Qingzhu to fullyrecuperate from her injuries.

Half an hour swiftly as he sat in silence. Lin Dong’s eyebrows graduallyknitted together as time flowed by. Finally, his eyes narrowed as they pausedon the Supreme Purity Celestial Pond, which was still so calm that there wasnot the slightest ripple on its surface.

It seemed to be a little too calm…

Another half an hour passed while Lin Dong was frowning. Soon after, hefinally stood up. His expression was grave as he stared at the Supreme PurityCelestial Pond and mumbled, “Something is amiss…”

Lin Dong’s eyes flickered. He hesitated for a moment as he stood beside theSupreme Purity Celestial Pond. Finally, he moved his body and directly leapedin. That ‘splash’ sound as he entered the water echoed in the valley, and wasunusually sweet to the ear …
