223: Chapter 222 Imperial Aura Before the Lingxiao Palace? Old dog, what are you looking at!

Nine Heavens Palace, ten thousand rays of golden light, a thousand auspicious omens.

This is the absolute center of power in the Immortal Realm — Lingxiao Palace.

The massive plaza is paved with solid slabs of Star Meteorite Iron, and every floor tile is inscribed with complex gathering-Qi Formations. Standing on both sides are dozens of coiled-dragon golden pillars, each wrapped with a real Golden Immortal-rank Dragon, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, with terrifying might.

Today is the Immortal Court's Ten Thousand Immortals Morning Assembly.

Originally, only Grand Unity Golden Immortals or high-ranking Star Lords would be qualified to attend a morning assembly of this level. But today, the atmosphere felt exceptionally strange.

Countless gazes, whether curious, disdainful, or filled with killing intent, were focused on the white-clad youth walking slowly toward the end of the plaza.

Lin Feng.

In just three days, this name had swept through the entire Nine Heavens like a plague.

Not only because he held the Immortal Emperor's decree, but also because he had done two "major things" as soon as he arrived: First, he kicked the Immortal official in charge of reception into an outhouse; Second, he actually bled the Seven Luminaries Immortal King's precious treasure — the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python — and drank it as a beverage!

He practically had the words "courting death" carved onto his forehead.

"Is that the Lin Feng who ascended from the Lower Realm? He doesn't look like much, only at the Early Stage of the Golden Immortal rank?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! I heard this kid is incredibly wicked; his Physical Body is as hard as a piece of Chaos rock, and he even kicked the Gold-Armored Commander of the South Heaven Gate into disability."

"Hmph, so what if his Physical Body is strong? At today's morning assembly, the Seven Luminaries Immortal King is presiding in person, and the Immortal Emperor's will has descended. If he dares to show even a hint of disrespect, he will surely have his Divine Soul destroyed!"

The Immortals discussed in hushed tones.

Lin Feng turned a deaf ear to this. He wore a pristine white robe (a high-grade Immortal garment kindly sponsored by Wan Sanqian), with Huang Fugui perched on his shoulder, picking its teeth.

One man and one marten, walking swaggeringly into the gate of Lingxiao Palace, which symbolized Supreme authority.

Inside the great hall, it was a world of its own.

Above the dome was a miniature starry sky, and beneath his feet was a flowing sea of clouds. On both sides of the hall stood hundreds of Immortals with terrifying Auras, the lowest being at the Peak of the Golden Immortal rank, and there was no shortage of Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

At the very top of the hall, on the Nine-Five Supreme throne symbolizing the Immortal Emperor, there was no one, only a hazy, golden ball of light radiating Supreme majesty — that was the projection of Immortal Emperor Haotian's will.

To the lower right of the throne, on a purple-gold throne, sat a man wearing star-patterned imperial robes.

The Seven Luminaries Immortal King!

His face was cold and stern, his eyes like the rising sun and setting moon, and seven phantom stars of his life-bound star orbited around him. Although he was just sitting there, that Aura was faintly poised to rival the Immortal Emperor's will!

When enemies meet, their eyes turn red with hatred.

As soon as Lin Feng stepped into the great hall, the Seven Luminaries Immortal King's eyes, which had been slightly closed, suddenly snapped open!

"BOOM!"

The air inside the entire Lingxiao Palace instantly froze!

A terrifying and unparalleled Aura, like the Nine Heavens Milky Way crashing backward, bore down squarely on Lin Feng alone!

That was the Aura of a half-step Immortal Emperor!

"Kneel!"

The Seven Luminaries Immortal King did not speak, but this will exploded in Lin Feng's Sea of Consciousness like a thunderclap!

The surrounding Immortals' expressions changed drastically, and they retreated one after another, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire. They all looked at Lin Feng with mocking eyes, waiting for this ignorant Lower Realm kid to make a fool of himself in public and be pressed onto the ground like a dead dog.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The cloud-sea ground beneath Lin Feng's feet instantly shattered, and his knees emitted a bone-grinding sound that set one's teeth on edge. The pressure was too great; it was as if the entire sky of the Immortal Realm had collapsed and was pressing down on his shoulders.

Huang Fugui squeaked in fright, instantly diving into Lin Feng's chest, trembling.

But Lin Feng did not kneel.

His spine remained straight, like a spear that would rather break than bend!

"Eternal Undying Sutra! Rotate for me!"

Lin Feng roared in his heart, the golden blood in his body boiling frantically, and the Dao patterns on his bones erupted with brilliant golden light!

He did not retreat but advanced instead, bearing the pressure that could crush stars, and forcibly took a step forward!

"THUD!"

As this step landed, the entire Lingxiao Palace seemed to tremble.

"Hmm?" A trace of surprise flashed in the Seven Luminaries Immortal King's eyes, which immediately turned into deeper coldness. "A bit of brute strength. But in front of this King, are you worthy of standing?"

The Aura increased by another fold!

Just as Lin Feng felt his bones were about to crack.

"Hum —"

In his arms, the [Demon Suppression Token] representing the Legacy of the Demon Suppression Division, and the [heaven-reaching decree] representing the Immortal Emperor's summons, suddenly lit up at the same time!

Two distinct, yet equally overbearing Auras surged into the sky from Lin Feng's body!

One was the unyielding Battle Intent of the Demon-Sealing Immortal King!

One was the imperial majesty of Immortal Emperor Haotian!

These two Auras intertwined, actually forming a huge golden protective barrier above the great hall, clashing fiercely with the Seven Luminaries Immortal King's Aura!

"BOOM!"

An invisible shockwave swept across the entire hall, shaking many Golden Immortals on both sides so much that they couldn't stand steadily and stumbled backward.

The Seven Luminaries Immortal King's Aura was actually... pushed back!

"What?!"

The whole hall was in an uproar!

Everyone looked incredulously at the white-clad youth who remained standing. Not only did he not kneel, but he also used the power of the tokens to break the Seven Luminaries Immortal King's show of force?

Lin Feng slowly raised his head.

He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his golden eyes burning with crazy flames.

He stared directly at the high-and-mighty Seven Luminaries Immortal King, without a shred of fear, and instead, a corner of his mouth hooked into an extremely arrogant, extremely punchable sneer.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he slowly raised his hand, pointed at the Seven Luminaries Immortal King's nose, and calmly spat out a sentence:

"Old Dog, why are you staring so hard?"

"Want to die?"

Silence.

Deathly silence.

The entire Lingxiao Palace seemed to have instantly turned into a vacuum.

All the Immortals, whether Golden Immortals or Grand Unity ones, all had their mouths wide open, their eyeballs about to pop out.

What did he call the Seven Luminaries Immortal King?

Old Dog?

And asked if he wanted to die?

Is he fucking crazy?! This is one of the most powerful men in the Immortal Realm!

The Seven Luminaries Immortal King's face, in this instant, became darker than the bottom of a pot. The seven phantom stars around him began to tremble frantically, as if they would explode at any moment, destroying the whole world.

"Good... very good."

The Seven Luminaries Immortal King laughed out of extreme anger, his voice sounding like ice shards drifting out of the Nine Nether Hell.

"I have lived for several epochs, and you are the first ant who dares to speak to me like this."

"If I don't extract your soul and refine your spirit, and hang you as a heavenly lamp for ten thousand years today, how can I convince the masses?!"

Seeing that a great battle was imminent, and might even tear down this Lingxiao Palace.

Just at this moment.

Above the throne, that silent ball of Immortal Emperor will suddenly fluctuated.

"Enough."

Only two words.

Plain, yet irresistible.

The Seven Luminaries Immortal King's destructive Aura, which was about to erupt, was forcibly pressed back in front of these two words. He took a deep look at that ball of light, then glanced at Lin Feng, and finally let out a cold snort, withdrew his Aura, and sat back down on his throne.

But the killing intent in his eyes was already so thick it couldn't be dissolved.

Lin Feng curled his lips, straightened his collar, acting as if nothing had happened, and even pushed his luck by patting the dust off his body.

"Tch, all thunder and no rain."

Everyone: "..."

This kid is truly iron-headed!
