Chapter 869 - 667: Enter the Trap
The battle began, and Lin Feng quickly entered the Demon Transformation state. With the increase in the Dragon Fish level, the speed of demon transformation increased significantly, taking no more than two seconds.
Compared to other Spirit Kings, this speed wasn’t particularly fast, only above average, as some could enter demon transformation in as little as one second.
Yun Kai, possessing Ancestral Demonization, could complete the demon transformation in 0.2 seconds, unbelievably fast, as if it required no time at all.
Of course, there’s no comparison with someone like Yun Kai, a chosen one. Ancestral Demonization talent is rare worldwide.
That’s not a comparison; it’s self-deception and humiliation.
"Finally, I get to see the Nine-Colored Phoenix Robe with my own eyes today! It’s so cool, totally worth the night of queuing with no sleep."
"So handsome!"
"It’s so beautiful that it makes me want to refine a Dragon Fish too."
"Do you really think you’re Lin Feng? Even if you had a Dragon Fish, you couldn’t evolve it to Two Tier."
"It’s not handsome; it should be beautiful instead!"
"I feel like my pants are wet."
Tens of thousands of spectators let out waves of exclamations.
Regardless of whether this battle is thrilling, Lin Feng’s appearance after the demon transformation alone made the trip worthwhile.
It’s not because they lack insight.
Nor is it the idol’s filter effect; Lin Feng’s appearance at this moment is truly stunning.
Nine colorful and elegant branches, resembling a phoenix tail mark, appeared around Lin Feng’s left eye socket, adding a mysterious and eerie quality. The silver-white phoenix robe and colorful tail feathers fluttered backward in the wind.
Lin Feng’s appearance was already handsome, and now dressed in this lavish "phoenix tail dress," he looked even more dazzling, enough to make hearts tremble.
Who could have imagined that the once unremarkable Dragon Fish would evolve to such an astonishing extent today?
To say the least, with this appearance, as long as his abilities aren’t too weak, he could establish himself in the Glory Alliance, and advertising contracts wouldn’t be an issue.
"This shape is indeed beautiful."
The Beast Celestial King chuckled lightly, unabashedly expressing the admiration in his words.
Originally, he was only interested in the demon spirit Lin Feng had been deliberately hiding, but he didn’t expect the Dragon Fish to be so breathtaking, exceeding his expectations.
Although the Dragon Fish level is much lower than the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon, and its strength is weaker, its appearance is not inferior to that of the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon, and its rarity surpasses it.
It’s the only one in the world.
Such a rare gem, if missed, would be a lifelong regret.
The more the Beast Celestial King watched, the more satisfied and thrilled he became.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind that regardless of the level or rarity and strength of the demon spirit Lin Feng was hiding, he would include Lin Feng in his collection.
Above his head, the Evil Karmic Demon Dragon circled in the air, appearing somewhat listless, its pitch-black beast eyes constantly stared in Lin Feng’s direction, with complex emotions flickering in its gaze.
His body may have transformed into a demon beast, but his memories, thoughts, and emotions hadn’t changed. He knew clearly — the Beast Celestial King had his eyes on Lin Feng.
It was highly possible he’d end up like him, becoming a companion in his collection.
He had seen many such examples.
"Your collection is already large enough, don’t target Lin Feng. The Pure Land is not your collection gallery."
The Celestial King Hai glanced at the Beast Celestial King, warning him in a stern tone.
Facing the warning, the Beast Celestial King’s expression remained calm, not even diverting his gaze, which stayed intensely appreciative on Lin Feng.
Obviously, he did not take the Celestial King Hai’s warning to heart.
After one sentence, the Celestial King Hai didn’t continue, seemingly resigned to the situation.
The Beast Celestial King’s pathological obsession with refining rare and powerful demon spirit masters is well-known.
He even didn’t spare his apostles, turning them into collectibles.
This hobby had reached a state of madness, and it was impossible for a single warning to extinguish his desire for Lin Feng.
As fellow Celestial Kings, he didn’t have that level of deterrence, nor would he start a war with the Beast Celestial King because of Lin Feng.
If unnecessary, a great war between Celestial Kings would not easily erupt.
At least, not for an apostle, resulting in mutual harm or sacrificing one’s life.
If the Beast Celestial King acted against Lin Feng, he could retaliate against the Beast Celestial King’s apostles, but from what he knew, the Beast Celestial King would not care.
Such retaliation would be meaningless.
"Lin Feng is not just any Apostle. Be careful playing with fire, you might end up burning yourself. That would be embarrassing."
Dream Celestial King glanced at Beast Celestial King and teased, obviously someone who feared not the chaos around.
The other Celestial Kings remained calm, clearly not interested in the topic, nor planning to intervene.
Lin Feng’s achievements and potential were dismissed by them, a reflection of the Celestial Kings’ confidence.
As the Celestial Kings discussed, the battle had already begun.
After Dragon Fish Transformation, Lin Feng slightly opened his mouth, spitting out bubbles that quickly morphed into the shape of a Dragon Fish.
The Dragon Fish now had undergone great changes: slender body, serene demeanor, wings on its back, two horns, long whiskers at the corners of its mouth, silver-white pentagon scales glimmering with mirror-like gloss, a colorful tail with nine forks, fluttering and curling. Its colors and form were identical to the patterns around Lin Feng’s left eye socket and the tail of the phoenix robe.
The Dragon Fish fluttered its wings, flicked its colorful tail feathers, and shot in all directions.
The Dragon Fish Transformation did not grant Lin Feng wings, nor did he summon Spiritual Power Wings. His feet now stepped on two Dragon Fish, his form floating in mid-air, looking especially relaxed and elegant.
"My name is Alek, I became Wind Celestial King’s Apostle six months ago."
Facing Lin Feng, the blond man entered Demon Transformation while introducing himself.
He held no hostility toward Lin Feng; without Lin Feng, he wouldn’t have become the Apostle of Wind Celestial King. In this regard, he was grateful to Lin Feng, but gratitude aside, he needed to defeat him.
After Demon Transformation, Alek’s body expanded, fiery wings appeared, horns on his head with holes spewing blood-colored steam, and his body covered in dark red scales resembling dark red metal armor.
After his transformation, the surrounding temperature rose rapidly at a terrifying rate.
"Boom!"
The sound of explosion suddenly rose, three Dragon Fish close to Alek couldn’t withstand the high temperature and were directly ignited.
The explosion sounds continued, and in an instant, a third of the Dragon Fish Lin Feng summoned disappeared.
Alek flapped his wings, flying towards Lin Feng, accompanied by waves of fire. From a glance, the space appeared distorted, and surging flames layered like real waves. During this process, the explosion sounds continually rose, and Dragon Fish were continuously ignited.
"Such a terrifying temperature, at least the strength of a Middle Rank Spirit King!"
Amidst the sweeping flames, Lin Feng felt as if he were in a sea of fire.
Wind Celestial King could offer the Abyssal Evil Ghost as a reward for a breakthrough, clearly confident in Alek’s strength.
Under such burning temperatures, Dragon Fish indeed had no chance to exert their abilities.
Yet, puzzling to the audience, Lin Feng continued to spit bubbles, which quickly morphed into Dragon Fish, flying overwhelmingly towards Alek, only to be ignited before truly approaching.
The roaring explosion lasted a full two minutes. Dragon Fish, like moths to a flame, ceaselessly flew toward Alek, continuously ignited.
"Is this a strategy to wear him out?"
"Lin Feng’s Soul Power is inferior to Alek’s. In a war of attrition, defeat is inevitable."
"Lin Feng’s abilities were restrained, still too young perhaps."
The audience discussed fervently, not because Lin Feng wasn’t strong, but his ability was just restrained, and his strength was less than Alek’s, leaving him passive.
Amidst the deafening explosions, smoke filled the air, and Lin Feng’s vicinity was covered by Dragon Fish, numbering at least a hundred.
But this time, the Dragon Fish flew toward Lin Feng instead.
While the audience was astonished, Lin Feng had vanished from his spot, replaced by Alek.
In an instant, the two swapped places.
"Boom!"
The earth-shattering explosion accompanied by a terrifying wave left faces pale and hearts seemingly stopped.
When Alek’s bloodied and battered figure appeared before everyone, the battle was declared over.
"Lost, didn’t he? Does it hurt?" Celestial King Hai withdrew his gaze and smiled at Wind Celestial King.
Alek was a Middle Rank Spirit King, stronger than Lin Feng, his attributes and abilities also restrained Lin Feng.
Lin Feng’s battle method mainly relied on the Dragon Fish’s explosion. Dragon Fish approaching within fifty meters of Alek’s vicinity would be ignited by the heat and couldn’t cause harm.
This is the restraint of attributes and abilities, which Lin Feng was hard to alter. He never planned on a war of attrition; the continuous bombing that appeared as wasteful soul power was just to keep Alek unfocused, blinding him, leading him into his trap.
Indeed, it was a case of inviting the enemy into the trap!
In Lin Feng’s hands, the seemingly evasive "Stand" soul skill was played out ingeniously.
"What a waste!"
Gazing at Alek’s miserable and defeated figure, Wind Celestial King spoke indifferently while throwing the Demon-Sealing Soul Artifact to Celestial King Hai.
