Chapter 861: Chapter 70: The Reward

“Even the gods are dead, quickly escape…”

Countless people screamed in terror as the cultivators of Ao Tian Ancient City descended into chaos.

The Dugu Family, the Ten Great Families, all crazily fled in panic.

Now, both sides are locked in an unending battle, and without Lin Feng’s orders, the Four City Alliance Army won’t spare anyone from the Dugu Family and the Ten Great Families.

The fierce battle raged for an entire day and night, with only a few managing to escape, and the majority were slain.

Such wars between powerful forces are incredibly brutal; once a war erupts, it must be fought to the finish, lest they face revenge in the future.

A portion of the Four City Alliance Army pursued the fleeing cultivators of Ao Tian Ancient City.

Another portion began searching for the treasure vaults of these great families like the Dugu Family and the Ten Great Families.

Inside the Dugu Family’s hall.

“Reporting, the items in the various family treasure vaults have been cataloged: three Tao Artifacts, namely the Ice and Fire Battle Spear, the Dragon Slaying Sword, and the Dragon Flame Saber… There are a total of 18,700 pieces of peak treasures, and a total of…”

Soon, someone came to report the spoils of the clearance operation.

There were hundreds of thousands of various magical treasures, Spirit Stones piled like mountains, and many Divine Power Secret Books, among others.

“Reporting to Young Master Lin, an ancient bronze book was found in the Dugu Family.”

A Sun Moon City elder tasking with cataloging the war spoils hurriedly came to report.

In his hand was the ancient bronze book.

Lin Feng was surprised, as bronze artifacts were incredibly precious.

He took the ancient bronze book and saw distorted runes appearing on it.

“Array Pattern.”

Lin Feng was taken aback.

The ancient bronze book was sealed with runes, and opening it required deciphering the runes recorded on it, which evidently required time.

Lin Feng kept the bronze book away.

The treasures of the eleven families of Ao Tian Ancient City were so abundant that it took five days and nights to finish cataloging them.

The next step was to distribute these treasures.

“I will take the Tao Artifact level treasures. The remaining Spirit Stones, Divine Skills, magical treasures, etc., you can divide among your powers upon discussion.”

Lin Feng said.

Everyone nodded, and nobody objected.

With only three Tao Artifact level supreme treasures, it was better for Lin Feng to take them all. Otherwise, how would the dozens of families within the Four Great Ancient Cities divide the three Tao Artifacts?

Wouldn’t it lead to a fight?

Lin Feng had foreseen this, which is why he took the three Tao Artifacts.

“As I said before, if you follow me, you will never be mistreated. These porcelain bottles contain God’s Origin; each power will take one bottle.”

With a wave of his right hand, thirty-six porcelain bottles landed on the table.

“God’s Origin?”

The voices of all the high-ranking members of the Four Great Ancient Cities trembled violently.

They understood what God’s Origin represented.

Whether directly refined or used in refining, God’s Origin could have a heaven-defying impact.

After refining God’s Origin, one’s body would be enhanced by it.

At that point, their cultivation was bound to progress rapidly.

Needless to say, even treasures piled high couldn’t equal the value of a single bottle of God’s Origin.

After a brief moment of stunned disbelief, all the high-ranking members of the Four Great Ancient Cities’ forces shouted in unison.

“Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your generous gift. Henceforth, we are willing to toil for you like a loyal steed, ready to cross mountains of blades and seas of fire without a frown.”

The high-ranking members of each family began to express their loyalty.

This time, they followed Lin Feng in besieging Ao Tian Ancient City and witnessed the occurrence of Godslaying, an event only heard of in legends.

In the future, the original territory of Ao Tian Ancient City would be divided among the Four Great Ancient Cities, on top of the eleven families, led by the Dugu Family, whose treasures would also become the possessions of these cities.

Furthermore, they had received the reward of “God’s Origin” from Lin Feng.

Lin Feng, mastering the Ancient Divine Weapon capable of slaying gods, now stood like a divine figure among the myriad families of the Four Great Ancient Cities.

They naturally seized this opportunity to follow closely by Lin Feng’s side.

With profound meaning, Lin Feng said, “You should manage this East County Divine Land well, and I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

The crowd’s expressions were shaken, Lin Feng’s words clearly carried deep meanings.

It seems Young Master Lin intends to build his own force?

Thinking of this, the high-level members of various families became excited.

In their view, if Lin Feng wants to establish his own force, in the future, this force will certainly be able to compete with the massive ancient forces.

Moreover, they will be the first families to submit to Lin Feng, becoming the founding families.

“We surely won’t disappoint Young Master’s expectations.”

The leaders of many great forces quickly said.

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction; these people are smart, and there’s no need to be overly explicit in some words.

The next day, accompanied by the ancestor Long Fu of True Martial Country, Lin Feng returned to True Martial Country.

Dugu Aotian was also brought to True Martial Country, temporarily imprisoned in the heavenly prison of True Martial Country.

In the imperial city, Lin Feng reunited with Xiao Yafei, Su Zimo, and others.

He began to arrange for Xiao Yafei, Su Zimo, Ouyang Li, Zhang Qichu, and other old friends to join the Four Great Ancient Cities for cultivation.

At the same time, Lin Feng handed over the Tao Artifact Dragon Slaying Sword to Shangguan Fei’er, letting her use it for protection.

On the third day back in the imperial city, Lin Feng went to interrogate Dugu Aotian, but Dugu Aotian was very tight-lipped, difficult to extract useful information from.

Lin Feng used the Soul Searching Technique, forcefully searching the soul, finding memories about gods in Dugu Aotian’s soul memory.

The god, comes from a mysterious world.

But the specifics of where exactly remain unknown.

“Little bastard, the god will descend again, and by then, the descending god will be even stronger, and then, you’ll have no place to die.”

Dugu Aotian cursed.

“Take him out and execute him by Ling Chi.” Lin Feng waved his hand.

“Yes.”

At once, guards dragged Dugu Aotian out and used the Debone Knife to slice pieces of flesh from Dugu Aotian.

This is Ling Chi.

The most brutal kind of punishment.

After staying in East County Divine Land for half a month, Lin Feng left East County Divine Land and directly returned to Azure Cloud Sect.

Evidently, the destruction of Ao Tian Ancient City in East County Divine Land caused an uproar in the northern seventy-two states.

But Lin Feng had already left the center of the storm, and upon returning to Azure Cloud Sect, everyone on Supreme Peak received a bottle of God’s Origin.

This made everyone overjoyed, and they all went into seclusion to refine God’s Origin for cultivation.

At night, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, with the God’s Origin in his dantian vast as the sea.

Lin Feng’s cultivation had advanced from the initial stage of the Eighth Layer Heaven in the Yin Yang Realm to the high stage, consuming only a small portion of God’s Origin.

Lin Feng felt that the God’s Origin in his dantian was enough to cultivate to the peak of the Creation Realm.

Half a month later, everyone who had been secluded came out of seclusion, and although they each had only refined a small portion of God’s Origin, everyone’s cultivation had greatly improved.

Shee Weizhu and Bai Ying both broke through to the Fifth Layer Heaven in the Yin Yang Realm.

Wang Hu, Mo Yuning, Ma Yong, Liu Ge, and Wu Xiu’er directly broke through to the Yin Yang Realm.

On Lin Feng’s Supreme Peak, there were a total of eight people, and now everyone had broken through to the Yin Yang Realm, which, if spread, would cause an uproar even in Azure Cloud Sect.

This kind of thing is too shocking, Wang Hu and others did not publicize it, they quietly cultivated, grounding their cultivation, and everything on Supreme Peak proceeded in an orderly manner.

Lin Feng planned to reinforce the defense array of Supreme Peak; he placed the Ice and Fire Battle Spear at the center of the great array.

Using this Tao Artifact as the foundation, he reinforced the great array, substantially increasing the power of Supreme Peak’s array. With the Tao Artifact guarding Supreme Peak, even cultivators in the Creation Realm would find it difficult to break through Supreme Peak’s array.

Half a month later, the dragon egg Lin Feng had gotten hatched, and Lin Feng handed the young dragon to Wang Hu, telling him to take good care of it. In the future, when the young dragon grows up, it can become the guardian spirit beast of Supreme Peak.

Another half month passed, and Lin Feng’s cultivation advanced to the peak of the Eighth Layer Heaven in the Yin Yang Realm, and Lin Feng needed to prepare for breaking through to the Ninth Layer Heaven in the Yin Yang Realm.

Now, refining God’s Origin for cultivation, his speed increased more than tenfold; Lin Feng estimated that within a year, he should be able to step into the Creation Realm without any problem.

“Senior brother, someone outside requests an audience,” Wang Hu reported from outside Lin Feng’s hall.

“Oh? Who is it?” Lin Feng asked, surprised.

“It’s people from Wrath Axe City,” Wang Hu replied.

“Wrath Axe City?” Lin Feng frowned.

This Wrath Axe City is an ancient city renowned alongside Beihuang City, one of the ten great ancient cities of the Desert Domain, but he had never been to Wrath Axe City, and certainly couldn’t know cultivators from Wrath Axe City.

Someone from Wrath Axe City came to seek an audience, making Lin Feng very curious, wondering who the visitor might be.

“Bring them here,” Lin Feng said, curious about what kind of person the visitor from Wrath Axe City was.
