Capítulo 1143: Chapter 57: Emperor Donghua

Emperor Donghua couldn’t leave the Ancient Temple, naturally, he couldn’t pursue the Demon Monk, so the Demon Monk’s escape was inevitable.

However, the Demon Monk is now severely injured and will probably be unable to cause mischief for a long time.

Emperor Donghua held his own heart in his hand, silent for a long time.

Years ago, it was precisely because his heart was taken by the Demon Monk that Emperor Donghua fell.

Now, Emperor Donghua had reclaimed his heart, but it was too late.

This is the heart of a Great Emperor, and it’s still beating to this day.

Lin Feng deeply admired Emperor Donghua.

When the emperor returns, I will lay him to rest on the Southern Mountain.

Emperor Donghua had a tragic side.

With my broken body, I eternally suppress this demon.

This was Emperor Donghua’s broad-mindedness, caring for the beings of this world.

For the sake of all beings, he sacrificed himself.

In this world, how many people can sacrifice themselves for all beings?

But Emperor Donghua did it.

He deserves the respect of everyone.

Lin Feng’s respect for Emperor Donghua was sincere.

…

“I wish that this heart could revive the Bodhi Tree.” Emperor Donghua murmured, as he dug a deep pit next to the withered Bodhi Tree.

Then, Emperor Donghua buried his heart under the Bodhi Tree.

An astounding thing happened; the Bodhi Tree truly came back to life, the once withered tree radiated vitality and began to sprout buds.

This is the heart of a Great Emperor, capable of reviving dead life.

But ultimately, Emperor Donghua could not resurrect himself.

“You inadvertently intruded here and helped me suppress this demon, perhaps there is some fate in this.”

Emperor Donghua lightly tapped the severed arm of the Demon Monk.

Two drops of blood flew out.

“This is Emperor Blood, it can help you recover…”, the two drops of Emperor Blood merged into Lin Feng and Guanguan’s bodies.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Lin Feng and Guanguan were overjoyed; this was a miraculous encounter.

Emperor Blood’s value is immeasurable.

And now, Lin Feng and Guanguan had obtained the Emperor Blood.

“Cultivating under the Bodhi Tree can help you refine the Emperor Blood.”

Emperor Donghua said.

“Yes…”

Lin Feng and Guanguan bowed to Emperor Donghua, sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi Tree, the Emperor Blood within them began to merge into their bodies.

The Demon Monk’s Emperor Blood contained endless Demon Thought, which Lin Feng and Guanguan initially couldn’t refine.

Let alone refine.

The Demon Monk’s Emperor Blood merged into their bodies.

The two of them would instantly be controlled by Demon Thought, lose themselves, and become slaves to the Demon Monk.

But now, the Demon Thought and Evil Power within Emperor Donghua had already been eradicated, leaving only the most essential energy.

So after Lin Feng and Guanguan refined it, it wouldn’t harm their bodies.

As the Emperor Blood was absorbed.

Lin Feng suddenly felt a delightful change.

He had originally been weak due to burning a large amount of Undying Divine Blood, which had caused his Qi-Blood to collapse. Now, upon refining the Emperor Blood, his weak body quickly recovered.

And what’s more, Lin Feng was delighted to find that after his body had completely recovered, the Undying Divine Blood within him began to condense again.

21%!

22%!

…

The Undying Divine Blood continued to increase, ultimately reaching 30%, then stopped growing.

Lin Feng was ecstatically joyful; he hadn’t expected to turn misfortune into a blessing.

The Undying Divine Blood not only had not decreased but had increased from its pre-burning state of 26% to 30% now.

“Only a small part of the Emperor Blood has been consumed, but I’ve reached my limit and can’t continue refining the Emperor Blood without harming my origin,” Lin Feng murmured, storing the unrefined Emperor Blood in his Elixir Sea.

‘Boom…’

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation emanated from Lin Feng’s body.

A stream of information surged in Lin Feng’s mind.

He probed with his Divine Sense, and immediately looked surprised.

When the Undying Divine Blood within his body revived to 30%.

Lin Feng unlocked a second “Special Ability”.

The Ten Forbidden Divine Bodies of Ancient Times, each possessing nine unique abilities, far exceeding ordinary special physiques.

Previously, Lin Feng had awakened the special ability “Death Nine Steps”.

But this time, Lin Feng awakened the “Gate of Hell”!

Such a special ability allows him to summon the phantom of the Gate of Hell, rumored to be the portal to the Hell World.

Summoning the Gate of Hell’s phantom against enemies is an extraordinarily heaven-defying Attack Skill.

“Quite a Gate of Hell.”

Lin Feng operated his Undying Divine Blood, and in the void, a phantom Divine Gate faintly appeared.

That Divine Gate was the Gate of Hell.

Summoning the Gate of Hell consumed an enormous amount of Mana.

But should it succeed, the destructive power generated was astonishingly formidable.

Lin Feng hadn’t truly manifested the Gate of Hell; he had just barely revealed a hint of its Divine Power, and he already understood the formidable power of the Gate of Hell.

That was already enough.

…

Guanguan also awakened, and she too received tremendous benefits.

Lin Feng looked at Emperor Donghua not far away.

Emperor Donghua stood ten meters away, gazing into the distance, his eyes distant and deep, lost in thought.

Currently, Emperor Donghua’s state of life was peculiar; if he was said to be dead, he still existed, but if said to be alive, his physical body had long turned into scattered points of starlight.

Emperor Donghua had merged into this Ancient Temple, becoming a part of it, suppressing the Demon Monk.

If someday, the Ancient Temple were destroyed.

At that time, Emperor Donghua might be utterly annihilated.

And vanish from the world?

“I cannot stay awake for long, so I will soon send you away. If you have any doubts, you can ask me.” Emperor Donghua said with a smile.

He was very handsome, smiling brilliantly.

But he was also lonely.

Just like the Fire Crow Lin Feng encountered in the Death Swamp, trapped in one place for eternity, unable to escape, enduring endless solitude.

For an individual.

Loneliness is the most fearsome.

But Emperor Donghua willingly endured this eternal loneliness until the crumbling temple is gone, and he would drift away with the wind.

Who still knows

Emperor Donghua silently dedicates his life to all beings.

“Where is this desert?” Lin Feng asked.

He felt this desert was very strange, which prompted his question.

“Endless Demon Sand! The outer region is controlled by the Demon Monk; ordinary people can’t enter at all and would be killed by the Demon Monk. Only cultivators with strong enough bloodlines could be used for sacrifice by the Demon Monk.”

Emperor Donghua replied.

“Is there a way to save the senior?” Lin Feng continued to ask.

This was his most pressing concern.

Lin Feng genuinely wanted to bring Emperor Donghua back to life.

Just as Emperor Donghua said, “I die in brilliance; if someday, all beings think of me, I could be reborn in the mind power of all living beings!”

These words felt too ethereal, more of a solace than a way to save Emperor Donghua.

“Dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil…, a dream of Nanke in past and present life, this is my destiny,” Emperor Donghua said.

Hearing Emperor Donghua’s words, Lin Feng remained silent.

Guanguan’s eyes reddened.

A Great Emperor ended up in such a miserable state, making Lin Feng and Guanguan feel saddened and heartbroken.

Emperor Donghua saw through his destiny, knowing he would eventually disappear one day.

This long life was like a Nanke dream, fleeting as smoke.
