305: Chapter 304 Heavenly Pursuers Arrive: Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The dull and rhythmic sound of war drums felt like the footsteps of a Heavenly God, striking every person's heart with each beat. It caused the blood of the desperate outlaws who had just surrendered in the city to surge, and those with low cultivation even collapsed to the ground.

It was dark.

Or more accurately, it was covered up.

In the originally empty Void Realm, countless auspicious clouds rolled, and ten thousand rays of golden light shone. Above the layered clouds stood dense ranks of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals clad in silver armor. Banners blocked the sun, spears and halberds stood like a forest, and the murderous aura instantly turned the surrounding floating meteorites into powder.

The hundred thousand Tianhe Naval Forces!

This was the elite force of the Heavenly Court, a violent machine for maintaining order in the Three Realms! Each of them possessed cultivation above the True Immortal level, and when formed into a battle formation, they could even contend with a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

At the very front of the army, on a golden auspicious cloud platform, stood a dignified, middle-aged Heavenly God clad in golden armor, holding an exquisite pagoda in his hand. His long beard fluttered, his face was resolute, his eyes were like lightning, and his entire body radiated the formidable aura of a Middle Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal, making people dare not look directly at him.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li — Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King!

"Audacious madman Lin Feng! Get out here!!"

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King roared, his voice exploding like thunder. It directly shattered several desolate mountains outside the city, and even caused ripples to appear on the city's protective array.

"You stole a precious treasure of the Heavenly Court, publicly auctioned an Imperial token, and even killed an Immortal official. Your crimes are monstrous and too numerous to record! Today, under the Imperial decree of the Immortal Emperor, I lead one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers to level this place! Kneel and accept your death immediately, and perhaps I might leave your corpse intact!!"

This voice echoed between heaven and earth, filled with an unyielding majesty.

The newly recruited "elite villains" in the city, although usually fierce, could not help but feel their legs go weak when facing such a grand scene of regular troops.

"Oh my mother, it's Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King! This is a legendary figure!"

"One hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers! Look at how dense they are; one spit from each of them could drown us!"

"It's over, it's over, we've really messed up big time now! I just got a month's salary and now I'm going to lose my life before I can spend it?"

"Don't panic! Look at our Chief! He is still drinking tea!"

Everyone's gaze turned in unison toward the city wall.

Lin Feng had somehow moved a rosewood armchair and was sitting on the city tower, with an exquisite small tea table beside him, topped with various immortal fruits. Fugui was diligently peeling something for him, which he had bought from the System store—oh no, it was iced immortal nectar.

Facing Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's roar, Lin Feng just lazily picked his ear, looking impatient.

"Who is it? Why are you screaming like a ghost in the middle of the night? Do you have no civic virtue? Don't you know that disturbing the public requires a fine?"

Lin Feng stood up, walked to the edge of the city wall, leaned against the railing to look down, and looked disgusted: "Yo, isn't this that pagoda seller?"

"What? After that broken pagoda was sold last time, do you feel the price was too low and want to come find me to make up the difference? Or are you saying you want to buy it back? I'll tell you, once goods are sold, they cannot be returned or exchanged!"

"Pfft—!" The garrison on the city wall had originally been very nervous, but upon hearing this, they burst out laughing. The tense atmosphere instantly dissolved.

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's face instantly turned blacker than the bottom of a pot, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Last time, his golden exquisite pagoda was snatched away by Lin Feng and even sold cheaply at an auction under the name of "cracked version." This matter had long since become the biggest joke in the Three Realms. Now, when he walked in the Heavenly Court, he felt that his colleagues' gazes were off, and even the Jade Emperor looked at him with the kindness one reserves for the mentally challenged.

This was his great humiliation! It was an indelible stain on his life as a God!

"Shut up, you brat!!" Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was so angry that his beard was trembling, and golden light exploded all over his body, "That was just my momentary carelessness! Today, I have brought the 'Innate Spirit Treasure · Thirty-Three Heavens Golden exquisite pagoda' (Repaired and Enhanced Version) bestowed by the Immortal Emperor, and I will definitely suppress you under the tower, never to rise again! You will suffer the pain of ten thousand fires burning your heart!"

Having said that, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King stopped talking nonsense, because he was afraid that if he continued chatting with Lin Feng, he would be angered to death before the battle.

"All soldiers, listen to my orders! Form the 'Heavenly Net Great Formation'! Block the Void Realm! Don't let a single fly escape!"

"Yes!" The hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers roared in unison, their momentum shaking the heavens.

"Rise!" The exquisite pagoda in Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's hand instantly flew out and expanded against the wind.

In the blink of an eye, the exquisite pagoda turned ten thousand zhang high, blocking the sky and sun, descending like a golden ancient divine mountain pressing down. The tower's body shone with brilliant golden light, and every level was engraved with countless profound runes. One could faintly see divine fire, profound ice, mountains of blades, and seas of fire churning inside the tower, emitting an aura of destruction.

A terrifying and unparalleled suction force erupted from the bottom of the tower, like a massive black hole, wanting to uproot the entire city and devour it completely!

"Take it in!!" Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King pinched the magic formula, full of confidence.

This was an exquisite pagoda that Immortal Emperor Haotian had personally repaired and enhanced, infused with a trace of the Heavenly Dao Law. Its power was more than ten times stronger than before! Even a half-step Quasi-Saint would have to shed a layer of skin if they were sucked in!

However, facing this world-destroying blow, Lin Feng laughed. He laughed extremely brightly, and extremely annoyingly.

"Is that it?"

"A broken pagoda, repaired and patched for another three years? Is your family too poor to afford a new one? Is the Heavenly Court's financial situation that bad?"

Lin Feng stood in the strong wind, his clothes rustling, but his feet seemed to have taken root, motionless. The terrifying suction force reached him, but it seemed to encounter something slippery and directly bypassed him.

"System, activate 'Divine-Grade Taunt' mode."

"Since you want to play with towers, I'll let you see what it means to throw a meat bun at a dog... oh no, it's a pagoda smashing a mouse, never to return!"

Lin Feng patted the shoulder of Fugui, who was already drooling with faint green light in its eyes. "Fugui, did you see clearly? What is that?"

Fugui wiped the drool from the corner of its mouth, trembling with excitement, and squeaked twice: "Big cracker! Such a big and crispy sandwich cracker! And it smells like meat!"

"Go, eat your fill! Don't be polite! If you get a stomachache, it counts as a work-related injury, and all medical expenses will be reimbursed!"

"Squeak—!!" Following Lin Feng's order, Huang Fugui shot out like an arrow from a bow, transforming into a streak of golden light. Instead of retreating, he advanced, rushing straight towards the ten-thousand-zhang exquisite pagoda!

Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King saw this scene and sneered repeatedly: "You ignorant beast! You actually want to contend with an Innate Spirit Treasure? Seeking death! This is a suppression power that even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal cannot escape!"

He suddenly increased his magic power output, "Refine it for me!"

However, the next second, a scene occurred that he would never forget, and would even become his Heart Demon.

Fugui did not crash into the tower. Instead, at the moment of contact, its body twisted strangely. Its small body seemed to ignore the Laws of physics, and it actually followed that terrifying suction force, like a loach, directly—drilled into the tower!

"Hmm?" Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was stunned, "Entering to seek death voluntarily? Hmph, that saves me some trouble. Inside the tower are Samadhi True Fire and Nine Heavens divine thunder, which can turn this mouse into ashes in an instant!"

However, the development of events did not seem to follow his script.
