Chapter 137 Elder Feng's Strength

(Page 1 of 3)

The sheer force of the clash left everyone trembling with fear. They hurriedly withdrew from Ghost Abyss Platform, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. After all, in a battle between experts at the Half-Step Divine Realm, the shockwaves alone could likely kill everyone present in an instant!

Seeing Elder Feng make his move, Jiang Xiaofei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He led Jun Yao and the members of the Directorate away from Ghost Abyss Platform, watching from a safe distance. Although he himself could not defeat a Half-Step Divine expert, the outcome might be different with Elder Feng involved. After all, Elder Feng was the man who had once defeated the previous King of the Netherworld. His strength was self-evident. Though he had yet to become a god because of the laws of heaven and earth, he should be invincible among those at the Half-Step Divine Realm.

At that moment, Young Master Changyuan hesitated before also retreating from Ghost Abyss Platform. His expression was grim enough to be frightening, but he knew just as well that he had no business interfering in a battle between Half-Step Divine experts. At present, he could only hope that Elder Ye would defeat Elder Feng. Otherwise, he truly would not be able to leave the Netherworld Realm. With a Half-Step Divine expert blocking his path, escape would be impossible no matter how hard he tried.

Thinking of this, he could not help cheering Elder Ye on. At the same time, he looked at Jiang Xiaofei with a cold smile, as though telling him that Elder Feng was no match for Elder Ye.

Naturally, Jiang Xiaofei sensed Young Master Changyuan’s gaze. He paid it no mind and instead turned his attention to Ghost Abyss Platform. He, too, wanted to know just how powerful a Half-Step Divine expert truly was, and how great the gap between the Ultimate Dao Realm and the Divine Realm really was.

On Ghost Abyss Platform, Elder Feng advanced step by step. His aura was incomparably sharp, placing Elder Ye under immense pressure. What shocked Elder Ye even more was the familiar aura emanating from Elder Feng. He stared in astonishment and said, “So you are Feng Qingyang. No wonder you seemed so familiar.”

“What? Elder Feng is actually Feng Qingyang from all those years ago?”

When Elder Ye’s words fell, those who were unaware of Elder Feng’s identity were stunned. Their eyes immediately filled with awe.

After all, the name Feng Qingyang had once shaken the Five Realms. With his own strength, he had stood against the entire Netherworld Realm. That battle record had spread throughout the Five Realms at the time. Yet he had later vanished without a trace. No one had expected him to appear in the Kingdom of the Directorate. How could anyone not be shocked?

Among the people from the Heavenly Abyss Kingdom, Elder Wan was likewise startled. He had already made some guesses, but hearing it from Ye Changkong’s mouth confirmed them completely. After all, Ye Changkong had once been defeated by Feng Qingyang.

Feng Qingyang was not only unrivaled in combat; he was also a peerless genius. If he had not been wounded by love, he would not have remained trapped at the Half-Step Divine Realm. And if he had not yet avenged his great hatred, he would have become a god long ago.

“Hahahaha! I never thought you would still recognize me.” On Ghost Abyss Platform, Elder Feng burst into laughter upon hearing Ye Changkong’s words. “It seems that the Netherworld War left an indelible impression on you.”

“Hmph!” Ye Changkong snorted. “Even if you are still alive, I am no longer the man I was back then!”

“Is that so? Then I would like to see how much you have improved over the years.”

Upon hearing Ye Changkong’s words, Elder Feng gave a cold smile. He then abruptly struck out with his palm. It was only a single palm strike, yet it seemed to contain heaven-shattering power, causing the pressure from every direction to converge.

Jiang Xiaofei was alarmed by what he saw. Could this be the power of the Divine Realm? It truly was terrifying. He was certain that he could not withstand even this single palm strike. No wonder people said that beneath the Divine Realm, everyone was nothing more than an ant.

As Elder Feng’s palm descended, the vast power of heaven and earth bore down upon Ye Changkong.

Under that tremendous pressure, the surrounding space began to contract. Ye Changkong also felt the force pressing down on him. A closer look revealed cracks spreading across the ground beneath his feet, formed because the earth itself could not withstand the pressure.

Yet his face was filled with fighting spirit. Elder Feng was indeed powerful, but Ye Changkong was also a Half-Step Divine expert. How could he possibly cower?

He immediately took a great stride forward and met the attack with his own palm.

The two palms collided, seemingly transforming into two enormous invisible hands. In an instant, terrifying divine power erupted like a curtain descending from the heavens, sweeping across the entirety of Ghost Abyss Platform.

Even Jiang Xiaofei, standing far away, was caught in the aftermath. His body tilted backward, but fortunately, the black-and-white energies within him neutralized the shockwave. The weaker spectators were not so fortunate, however, and fell in droves.

Jiang Xiaofei felt a pang of distress at the sight, yet there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, Jun Yao, the Corpse King, and the others remained unharmed.

On Ghost Abyss Platform, Elder Feng and Ye Changkong fought with earth-shaking intensity. Their battle seemed capable of startling both heaven and hell. Yet in every exchange, Elder Feng firmly held the upper hand, displaying an aura of absolute invincibility.

Jiang Xiaofei was astonished by the sight. No matter how weak Ye Changkong might be, he was still a Half-Step Divine expert. Yet he was completely incapable of resisting Elder Feng. Still, this was a good thing. The stronger Elder Feng was, the more confidence they would have in opposing the Netherworld Kingdom.

Young Master Changyuan’s expression grew increasingly ugly. He had originally believed that Elder Ye could defeat Elder Feng, but now it seemed that merely surviving without being killed was already an achievement.

Although Ye Changkong was driven back again and again beneath Elder Feng’s relentless assault, even coughing up blood, his eyes were filled with ferocity. Once he steadied himself, he said coldly, “Today, I will fight you to the death! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!”

“Oh?” Elder Feng’s brows furrowed slightly, and he let out a cold laugh. “If the Netherworld King had come, I might have shown some concern. But you think you can perish alongside me? You overestimate yourself. I will let you witness the ultimate technique of wind that I painstakingly cultivated over all these years—Wind’s Extremity: Annihilating Strike!”

“What?”

Upon hearing Elder Feng’s words, Ye Changkong’s expression changed dramatically, and shock filled his face.

Elder Feng suddenly rose into the air, standing motionless like an abyss. Then he struck out fiercely with his palm. A beam of azure light formed between his hands before shooting toward Ye Changkong like a rainbow.

Under the gaze of countless spectators, that streak of azure light resembled a meteor tearing across the heavens. It pierced straight through Ye Changkong’s body.

Ye Changkong’s eyes flew open. His face was filled with unwillingness as he collapsed to the ground, then turned to ash and vanished from Ghost Abyss Platform.

Everyone who witnessed the scene was left trembling in fear. No one had expected a Half-Step Divine expert to die just like that. That was a Half-Step Divine expert! Yet he had been unable to withstand more than a few moves from Elder Feng. Did that mean Elder Feng was already comparable to a true god?

Jiang Xiaofei, too, had never imagined that Elder Feng would be so powerful. His heart filled with amazement, along with a profound yearning for the Divine Realm. If he became a god himself, what would he have to fear from the Netherworld Kingdom?

At that moment, seeing Ye Changkong reduced to ashes, Young Master Changyuan panicked. He hurriedly fled into the void. Since even Elder Ye had died, remaining here would only mean certain death. Rather than wait for death, he decided to take advantage of everyone’s attention being focused on Elder Feng and escape for his life.
