Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2742: Inheritance.

"Boom!"

The Eternal Divine Flame was summoned, instantly enveloping the entire space with high temperatures. The flame appeared in Lin Feng’s hand, and five layers of different colored flames wrapped around him fiercely.

In the Eternal Divine Flame, Lin Feng looked like a man of fire. Though he had resistance to lightning, he knew this Fire of Thunder Cloud was extremely different from other lightning, capable of penetrating the body, burning from the internal organs to make them numb, then engulfing the person, so it must not be underestimated.

Seeing Lin Feng summon the Eternal Divine Flame, the Divine Soul of Lei Yan Emperor sitting nearby was shocked. It seemed the young man wouldn’t have much difficulty taming the Fire of Thunder Cloud since he could even tame the second-ranked Indestructible Flame; his strength was truly astonishing.

Cautiously approaching the Fire of Thunder Cloud, the fire seemed agitated by the aura of other Heaven and Earth Strange Fires and quickly penetrated through the Eternal Divine Flame, directly into Lin Feng’s body.

In an instant, the lightning’s glow spread across Lin Feng’s body, and the aura around him began to steam. You could clearly see his eyes erupting with layers of blood veins, his eyes were bulging, and the Fire of Thunder Cloud seemed to have drilled into his internal organs.

"Ah...ah!"

Lin Feng knew he had to persevere under such circumstances; taming the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire was like this—if he endured, it would be over. But even when taming the Indestructible Flame before, it wasn’t this painful—the Fire of Thunder Cloud felt like releasing layers of currents paralyzing his heart, and the pain was beyond description.

It felt like he was in a furnace, his skin unaffected, and his bones felt no discomfort, but he felt he was about to be burnt to ashes. He didn’t expect the power of the Fire of Thunder Cloud to be so unbearable, with stabbing pain coming so swiftly. He hurriedly took out and consumed a Heaven Origin Healing Pill; the situation indeed made Lin Feng somewhat panicked, but he could only persevere.

After taking the elixir, the pain in his heart eased, yet instantly his other organs began to feel like being pierced by needles, constantly stabbing every nerve.

Lin Feng felt indescribable pain, struggling to endure it. Initially, he would take one pill per incense time, but it turned to continuously putting them in his mouth until eventually he gulped them down by handfuls. Even at this consumption speed, he still found the pain unbearable—it was an intensity he’d never felt before, and he almost couldn’t bear it.

This young man is truly astounding!

Lei Yan Emperor, observing Lin Feng, nodded. He knew Lin Feng was about to get through the hardest phase, and it would be easier afterward. He had tamed the Fire of Thunder Cloud previously but never seen such a human.

The Eternal Divine Flame burned on Lin Feng, desperately helping him resist the Fire of Thunder Cloud, but the fire burned from inside to out. Without these flawless quality elixirs, Lin Feng might not have endured this long.

"Ah!"

Crying out in agony continuously, the Fire of Thunder Cloud wreaking havoc inside Lin Feng finally subsided after a few hours. His throat was hoarse, unable to make any sound anymore...

At this moment, Lin Feng distinctly felt the Fire of Thunder Cloud within seemed less restless and gradually calmed down. He knew the hardest time had passed.

He knew it was time, so Lin Feng circulated his Yuangang swiftly, the surrounding Yuan Energy gathering crazily towards him. He wanted to expel the Fire of Thunder Cloud from his body. Soon, black flame like lightning shot out from Lin Feng’s body.

But the Fire of Thunder Cloud was stubborn; seeing it couldn’t subdue Lin Feng, it began fleeing around the great hall.

Having reached this stage made things easier, Lin Feng thought, then the Eternal Divine Flame in his body transformed back into a multicolored flame in his hand.

"Go!"

Lin Feng unleashed the Eternal Divine Flame, chasing the fleeing Fire of Thunder Cloud in the space, as if the great hall was staging a cat-and-mouse game.

Not long after, the Fire of Thunder Cloud was trapped within the Eternal Divine Flame. Lin Feng took back the Eternal Divine Flame and saw a faint lightning glow at the center, revealing a slight smile.

Lei Yan Emperor was inexplicably surprised, seeing Lin Feng subdued the Fire of Thunder Cloud so easily. He previously tamed the fire with much more effort than Lin Feng, and Lin Feng being so young yet reaching such heights was unimaginable.

Lin Feng put away the Eternal Divine Flame. Now the Eternal Divine Flame had gathered six types of Heaven and Earth Strange Fire. Although this was just a small part of the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, it was enough to make the Eternal Divine Flame very powerful.

Subsequently, he carefully moved the remains of the Lei Yan Divine Emperor back onto the long bench and bowed to the Lei Yan Divine Emperor, saying, "Thank you, senior."

"Young man, what is your name?" Lei Yan Emperor looked at Lin Feng and said. He truly admired such a young man and felt he could rest in peace knowing someone like this could inherit his legacy.

"Junior Lin Feng," Lin Feng replied respectfully.

"Lin Feng..." Lei Yan Emperor repeated once before saying to Lin Feng, "I pass on to you the control rights of the Thunder Valley’s Thunder Array."

This Thunder Valley was his life’s work and the formations here were set up through his lifelong efforts. He believed Lin Feng was qualified to accept his legacy. Moreover, having such strong individuals in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm’s future reassured him.

Upon hearing Lei Yan Emperor’s words, Lin Feng was very pleased. If he had this control, he could manipulate formations, and if he established a sect here, these ready-made formations could provide an additional layer of protection for the sect. Lin Feng then said to Lei Yan Emperor, "Thank you, senior. I would like to know how this Array Master set them up?"

He had always been interested in formations and really did not know how the Thunder Array was so powerful. It would be great if he could learn it.

"The cultivation technique I practiced enhances the Thunder Attribute within my body, thus enabling me to set up such formations. I will also pass this cultivation technique to you. I’m curious, how did you enter this Thunder Valley?" Lei Yan Emperor asked.

"To be honest, senior, I am an Ascender from the Lower Realm. Previously, in the Lower Realm, I underwent thirty years of baptism by lightning, thus gaining resistance to it," Lin Feng answered truthfully. He did not mind telling the Lei Yan Emperor that he was an Ascender.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Lei Yan Emperor was indeed startled. He really hadn’t expected such a young person with such strength to be an Ascender. He was aware of the rules of the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, and it truly surprised him that an Ascender could develop to such an extent.

He then said to Lin Feng, "My cultivation technique is on the scroll above. You can take it and cultivate it. Now that you have control over Thunder Valley, everything here is yours."

Lin Feng found it odd. Previous Divine Emperor legacies were passed on through spiritual power transmission, but this elder allowed him to take the cultivation technique directly. Lin Feng wondered how to obtain control of the formation; could there be a formation core here?

Seeing Lin Feng’s puzzled expression, Lei Yan Emperor gently smiled and said, "In the rightmost side hall is the formation core of the entire Thunder Valley. You only need to circulate my cultivation technique inside to control it."

"Got it, senior," Lin Feng responded, looking at the elder. He believed that the elder must have been an extremely wise and strategic person in his life, feeling that many of the elder’s ideas were different from normal people’s. Moreover, this formation required the operation of the cultivation technique to control, meaning it could only be personally operated, and others couldn’t help at all. He then asked, "Senior, why are you here?"

"Ah! It’s a long story. Just as I was about to surpass the Divine Emperor, my lifespan ran out. I never reached that day!" Lei Yan Emperor sighed and said. He truly regretted it, not because he died here, but because he was so close to success. He wanted to see what that world was like. Isn’t the lifelong pursuit of cultivators to transcend the peak?

Hearing Lei Yan Emperor’s words, Lin Feng finally understood what was going on. Thinking about what Xuanyuan Divine Emperor previously told him, and the woman he mentioned who ascended, he continued to ask, "Senior, do you know what that world is like?"

"I haven’t been there, so how would I know? Those who went never returned, but it must be wonderful, right?" Lei Yan Emperor showed a longing expression, the threshold he never crossed despite a lifetime of striving.

As an Ascender, Lin Feng knew, before coming here, it was something one longed for; but upon arriving in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, things were indeed not as desirable. Fortunately, he was lucky enough not to fall into the Holy City; otherwise, he wondered what path lay ahead.

"Who is the most powerful Divine Emperor in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm?" Lin Feng was particularly curious about this, as he wanted to know who currently held the title of the only remaining nominal Divine Emperor.

"I’ve been dead for countless years. I’m not sure which of those old fellows are still alive, and the most powerful have all ascended." Lei Yan Emperor replied. Even after countless years, this matter remained unresolved in his heart; even those with less cultivation than him had ascended, and he couldn’t understand why he hadn’t.

Hearing Lei Yan Emperor’s frustration, Lin Feng dared not inquire further about cultivation matters. He changed the topic and asked, "Senior, in passing on your legacy to me, will your Divine Soul not dissipate?"

He found this Lei Yan Emperor really different from any Divine Emperor he’d seen before. Previously, once the legacy was passed on, Divine Souls, whether it was Heavenly Martial Emperor or Xuanyuan Divine Emperor, would dissipate. Yet this Lei Yan Emperor seemed unchanged, and he was concerned that this relic might also disappear like Xuanyuan Divine Emperor’s tower did, following the Divine Soul’s dissipation.

"It won’t. My Divine Soul has already merged with this Underground Palace. Although I have no Physical Body, I can continue to live on." Lei Yan Emperor said. Yet, he truly did not wish to live like this, unable to go anywhere or do anything.
