Chapter 200: An End, and a Beginning! (Grand Finale)

Ling Feng didn’t hesitate and stepped directly into the cave. The cave was pitch black, but with his keen senses, he quickly found a massive stone platform.

On the platform lay a bead emitting a faint glow. The bead’s surface was covered with intricate runes, looking extraordinarily rare.

Intrigued, Ling Feng reached out and picked up the bead. At that moment, the entire cave began to tremble, and a powerful suction emanated from the bead, trying to pull him in.

Startled, Ling Feng quickly circulated his true essence to resist the suction. But just then, Lin Zhentian appeared at the cave entrance, glaring at him fiercely.

“Boy, you have some nerve to intrude into my Lin family’s forbidden land and dare to take our treasure!” Lin Zhentian roared.

Ling Feng chuckled coldly, “Lin Ao Tian is dead. What use is it for your Lin family to guard these treasures? Better to let me make good use of them.”

“You court death!” Lin Zhentian, enraged, lunged at Ling Feng.

A fierce battle was about to erupt in the cave…

Inside the cave, their figures intertwined, the collision of true essence causing the stone walls to tremble slightly. As the Lin family head, Lin Zhentian’s strength was formidable. Wielding a long sword, he unleashed sharp sword beams at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng moved agilely, skillfully dodging Lin Zhentian’s attacks while looking for an opportunity to counterattack. He knew that facing a strong opponent like Lin Zhentian, he couldn’t afford the slightest mistake.

“Boy, your movement is decent, but you’re far from my level!” Lin Zhentian roared, swinging his sword to send a sword beam dozens of meters long at Ling Feng.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes. He knew this strike was no joke. Taking a deep breath, he channeled his true essence and punched out.

“Boom!”

His fist met the sword beam with a deafening explosion. The shockwave spread, causing cracks in the cave walls.

Ling Feng was sent flying, crashing into a stone wall. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if hit by a boulder. But he gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and struggled to stand.

Seeing this, Lin Zhentian was surprised. He hadn’t expected Ling Feng to survive his strike. However, he didn’t give Ling Feng a chance to breathe, flashing forward to attack again.

Ling Feng knew he would eventually lose if this continued. He had to find a chance to counterattack to win.

While dodging Lin Zhentian’s attacks, he observed the surroundings. He noticed a peculiar aura deep in the cave and decided to take a risk.

His figure flashed as he dashed deeper into the cave. Lin Zhentian, alarmed, quickly pursued, but Ling Feng’s speed was unmatched, disappearing from sight in an instant.

When Lin Zhentian reached the cave’s depths, he saw Ling Feng standing before a massive stone platform, holding the faintly glowing bead. His heart sank, knowing the bead was crucial to Ling Feng.

“Boy, hand over the bead, and I’ll spare your life!” Lin Zhentian said sternly.

Ling Feng smiled faintly, “This bead is just as important to me. Why should I give it to you?”

“Courting death!” Lin Zhentian, enraged, lunged at Ling Feng. But at that moment, Ling Feng raised the bead, and a powerful suction pulled Lin Zhentian in.

The cave returned to silence, with only the bead gently glowing…

“Hehe~”

“Didn’t expect this bead to have such an effect. It’s truly a treasure!”

Ling Feng’s lips curled slightly.

With Lin Ao Tian dead and most of the great families gone, who in Tianxuan Continent could oppose Ling Feng?

“Boring!

Boring!

In that case, I’ll rule Tianxuan Continent and become its king!”

Ling Feng thought to himself.

What Lin Ao Tian once achieved, Ling Feng could do too!

Ling Feng had always been strong, never weaker than others!

Just then.

Ripples like water waves spread around Ling Feng.

Ling Feng’s brow furrowed, instantly alert.

The next second.

Figures appeared before Ling Feng.

Lin Ao Tian stood there, smiling enigmatically at him…

Ling Feng’s heart sank. He hadn’t expected Lin Ao Tian to appear at this crucial moment. He should have been dead, yet here he was, alive, before him, an incredible sight.

“Lin Ao Tian, how… how are you still alive?” Ling Feng asked in shock.

Lin Ao Tian smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming deeply, “Ling Feng, do you really think you understand me? Do you really think you can control Tianxuan Continent?”

Ling Feng took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm. He knew he couldn’t panic now, or he’d be doomed.

“Lin Ao Tian, what do you want?” Ling Feng asked seriously.

Lin Ao Tian didn’t answer directly but looked at the faintly glowing bead, saying, “This bead, called the ‘Tianxuan Pearl,’ is Tianxuan Continent’s greatest treasure. It contains the continent’s primal power. With it, you can control the entire continent.”

Hearing this, Ling Feng was shocked!

Lin Ao Tian raised his right hand, and the Tianxuan Pearl appeared in his hand.

Then, he heard Lin Ao Tian continue, “After harvesting for so long, it’s time to uproot.”

Hearing this.

Ling Feng looked sharply at Lin Ao Tian.

Then, he saw his body slowly turning to nothing, gradually disappearing…

***

“Lin Lang (Brother), where shall we go next?”

At that moment, Yan Ling’er, Jiang Luoli, Ji Yue’er, and Ye Qingcheng approached Lin Ao Tian, asking.

“It’s an end, and a beginning!”

“With the Tianxuan Pearl, next…”

“It’s time to counterattack!”

…

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three thousand years passed.

Yet the legend of Lin Ao Tian—the Proud Heavenly Emperor—still spread across Tianxuan Continent.

In a teahouse.

A storyteller recounted, since then, Tianxuan Continent was peaceful, and the Proud Heavenly Emperor vanished into the world. No one knew where he went, though rumors said he appeared on Kunlun Mountain, with nine dragons pulling a bronze chariot, and the Empress by his side…

A young man in white, surrounded by veiled women, chuckled at the tale.
