Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 898: Chapter 690: Vengeance for a Father’s Death

The atmosphere was quiet for more than ten seconds before exclamations were heard.

As the world’s recognized top organization, Pure Land operates with reckless abandon, both righteous and evil. They possess the power to destroy a country and have indeed demolished several small nations.

It is precisely due to this fear that they aim to secure a seat among the Celestial Kings.

Everyone present is well-acquainted with Pure Land. In Shangjing, there’s even a specialized department focused on studying Pure Land.

The rules of an Apostle’s debut are known to the crowd.

In history, the highest record for an Apostle’s debut is passing six trials, achieved by only one person.

The difficulty of debuting, the difficulty of the trials, varies based on the Apostle’s performance during the trials.

The stronger the Apostle, the more likely they are to be eliminated early.

This is why few paid attention to Lin Feng’s Apostle debut.

But none anticipated that Lin Feng could clear ten trials and directly leap to become a Celestial King.

The Thirteen Celestial Kings of Pure Land.

Since Pure Land’s founding, the number of Celestial Kings had never exceeded twelve.

This news is likely sweeping globally now, shocking the entire world.

”It’s truly unexpected,”

Hong Tao whispered, his tone somewhat filled with admiration.

Before heading to Pure Land, Lin Feng led the Avengers Alliance members to specifically visit the Hong Family and had a ”friendly conversation” with him.

As an Extraordinary Powerhouse, Hong Tao might not fear the threats of the Avengers Alliance, but the members of the Hong Family do not possess his strength.

Without him, the Avengers Alliance could easily eradicate the Hong Family.

”After I leave, if Hong Yi and her family are harmed, I will make the Hong Family pay the price. If the Avengers Alliance lacks this power, I’ll find a way to get Pure Land involved. Don’t doubt my words; trust that I have the strength and confidence,”

These were Lin Feng’s exact words.

Hong Tao hadn’t forgotten a single word, occasionally recalling them.

Lin Feng’s words were arrogant, extremely arrogant.

So arrogant that they made him laugh out loud at the time, his Soul Power fluctuating as he couldn’t resist wanting to act.

However, confronted with the siege from Lin Feng and others, even he had no assurance of safely retreating.

Lin Feng and the others were no ordinary Kings, possessing extravagant Soul Skill combinations, and half of the members had Divine Level Soul Skills.

They also had achievements in slaying the Extraordinary Powerhouse, Alfonso.

The Avengers Alliance lacked neither strength nor achievements; with Lin Feng’s personality and conduct, this threat was by no means bluffing.

Lin Feng’s hands were stained with blood, not less than his, perhaps even more.

But the owners of most of that blood were Abnormal People.

In terms of the amount of slaughter, he was far less than Lin Feng.

Moreover, they were then within the Hong Family territory, a battle outbreak would likely result in massive casualties among the clan members.

This was why Lin Feng and others dared to recklessly threaten him.

Just like how he used family members to threaten Hong Yi to be obedient back then.

Family power is often a strong weapon, but sometimes it’s a weakness.

As an Extraordinary, he also has concerns, naturally also having weaknesses.

Pressured, Hong Tao could only suppress his rage. Under Lin Feng’s coercion, he promised not to trouble Hong Yi later.

But such a promise had no binding force on Hong Tao.

Hong Tao isn’t a man of his word.

In his heart, he didn’t take the promise seriously.

Hong Yi obviously understood Hong Tao’s nature, so after Lin Feng left, she arranged her family and single-handedly went directly to Pure Land.

Not giving Hong Tao the chance to act against her.

Now, Lin Feng has become one of the Thirteen Celestial Kings, and Hong Yi has become an Apostle of the Spirit Celestial King, making it even more impossible for Hong Tao to recover Sha Mi.

This put him in a bad mood.

At this moment, Yang Qingtian’s mood also wasn’t good, his expression somewhat complex.

He had just broken through as Martial Emperor not long ago, became the Shangjing Security Department Minister, just started to forget Lin Feng, and then Lin Feng suddenly became a Pure Land Celestial King.

Lin Feng’s growth speed was dizzying.

It felt as though someone had slapped him, making his face flush.

He had become a joke again, a topic for long discussions.

From the gaze of those around, he could keenly sense this.

His Martial Emperor power and his status as Security Department Minister had no superiority before the Pure Land Thirteen Celestial Kings.

In a sense, his position was already inferior to Lin Feng’s.

Pure Land’s Celestial King certainly holds more intimidation than Hua Country’s Emperor.

”The Yang Race’s threshold is really high; they don’t even regard Pure Land’s Celestial Kings,”

He could even imagine words of mockery from others in the future.

”Becoming a Celestial King too soon may not be a good thing for Lin Feng,” Zhou Chengfeng calmly stated while others were still in shock.

Being a Celestial King doesn’t guarantee a stable position.

At this moment, Lin Feng not only faces the Apostle’s challenge but also threats from other Celestial Kings.

Knowing that Lin Feng hadn’t yet become Emperor, nor did he have other members of the Avengers Alliance around him, if the Celestial Kings targeted him, does he have the ability to protect himself?

One must know, the Twelve Celestial Kings of the Pure Land are not ordinary Emperors.

Zhou Chengfeng couldn’t understand why Lin Feng was so eager to become a Celestial King?

”Indeed, Lin Feng is a bit too hasty.”

Someone echoed, and almost everyone agreed with this view.

While worrying about Lin Feng, his importance quietly rose several levels.

At this moment, Lin Feng was not only the captain of the Avengers Alliance but also the thirteenth Celestial King of the Pure Land. His existence had already become more significant than ordinary Emperors.

”Please explain the details.”

The white-haired elder suppressed his inner surprise and addressed the young man who rushed into the meeting room.

The young man began to recount Lin Feng’s debut process, during which people’s expressions changed constantly.

This hellish debut difficulty, Lin Feng could break through ten levels in a row, even they were afraid they didn’t have this strength.

From the difficulty of the debut, Lin Feng’s combat power could be analyzed, absolutely reaching the level of the Upper Rank King.

If Lin Feng could stabilize his position as a Celestial King, the precious rewards of the debut and the treatment after becoming a Celestial King, Lin Feng’s strength improvement speed might once again shock the world.

Perhaps it wouldn’t take years for Lin Feng to become an Emperor.

An Emperor under thirty?

What concept is this?

Thinking of this, everyone’s gaze turned to Yang Qingtian, who could no longer remain calm, and his once upright posture seemed to bend a little.

Everyone could understand Yang Qingtian’s mood at this time; no one mocked him, but their eyes said it all.

Yang Qingtian was speechless with suffering, at this moment he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

At this moment he could suddenly understand Yang Qing’s feelings when facing their persuasion back then.

When the young man described the ninth debut, explaining the rules of this event called ”Life and Death Battle,” there was no reaction from the crowd, while the youth paused slightly, glancing at a direction on the round table, his expression slightly hesitant.

Amidst the surprised gazes, the young man suppressed his emotions and said Shi Quanzhong’s name.

Upon hearing this familiar name, a middle-aged man in a dark green military uniform slightly widened his eyes, his body somewhat stiff, then suddenly stood up, staring sharply at the young man.

”What did you say the name of Dream Celestial King’s apostle was?”

He asked word by word.

The middle-aged man’s name was Shi Weiguo, deputy minister of Shangjing’s Combat Department, Upper Rank Spirit King, and a member of the Shi Family, one of the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing.

And the Shi Family, as a Glory Race, had the presence of Extraordinary Powerhouses.

Shi Mo, Shi Weiguo’s uncle, had been an Extraordinary Powerhouse fifty years ago.

Facing Shi Weiguo’s wolf-like gaze, the youth seemed frightened, quickly lowered his head without speaking, but everything was self-evident.

”My dad isn’t dead, my dad isn’t dead, he was in the Space Gate back then...” Shi Weiguo muttered, suddenly pausing, his eyes reddening, he abruptly looked at Yang Qingtian, his gaze filled with anger and an uncontainable killing intent.

In the ninth ”Life and Death Battle,” only one person could survive. Lin Feng successfully challenged and became a Celestial King, so one could imagine his father’s outcome.

Facing Shi Weiguo’s gaze, Yang Qingtian frowned, his already bad mood worsened.

As part of the Ten Great Clans in Shangjing, the Shi Family ranked among the top three, stronger than the Yang Family.

His strength was no match for Shi Mo.

A father’s killer and an irreconcilable hatred, for whatever reason, this kind of hatred is destined not to be resolved.

No one expected such a twist in the apostle’s debut.

The atmosphere was oppressive; no one tried to persuade, even though everyone knew this was Dream Celestial King’s conspiracy.

”Lin Feng, I must kill him; no one can stop me.”

Shi Weiguo, leaning on the table, looked at Yang Qingtian and said, his tone icy, no attempt to hide his killing intent.

Yang Qingtian did not speak, nor did he take a stance.

Some wanted to speak but seeing Shi Weiguo in a rage could only sigh helplessly.

After all, it’s a father’s killer!

”Lin Feng is hailed as the Celestial King Hua.”

In the silence, the young man’s voice rang again.

”Celestial King Hua!”

Upon hearing this title, Shi Weiguo’s expression slightly froze, then he sneered.

This time, the young man was not timid, he looked Shi Weiguo directly in the eye, explaining the origin of this title.

In his narration, Shi Weiguo’s originally mocking expression stiffened, his entire being seemed drained of Essence Qi, and he sat back in his chair in defeat.

The original anger and killing intent had now disappeared.

”Celestial King Hua, Celestial King Hua, who would have thought Old Shi actually...”

The white-haired elder muttered to himself, unable to hide his sadness in his words and expression.

People were very familiar with Shi Quanzhong, having worked together for many years, originally believed he sacrificed more than ten years ago, they even attended his memorial service, no one imagined that he hadn’t died, not only had he not died but became Dream Celestial King’s apostle.

”Truly Old Shi, ten years without seeing him, still commands respect and admiration.”

Dream Celestial King’s scheme was easily defused by Shi Quanzhong, for which he paid with his life.

When Shi Quanzhong shouted, ”Shi Quanzhong welcomes Celestial King Hua!” the nature of this battle was defined.

This was not a fratricidal battle, but a heroic act of self-sacrifice by Shi Quanzhong.

No one could say anything.

Even Shi Weiguo felt the same.
