Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: Forcing Back the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors

The air was thick with an eerie atmosphere.

Feng Wuchen stood in confrontation with the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors, an uneasy silence hanging between them.

Feng Wuchen showed no trace of fear, exuding a calm confidence that left everyone guessing his next move.

“Lord Feng seems to have some sort of plan.” Seeing Feng Wuchen’s self-assured demeanor, Bai Hun frowned in speculation.

Bai Hun nodded slightly, “Indeed, it seems likely he has a way to deal with the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors.”

“Tianming, what exactly is Feng Ying trying to do?” Ying Hun asked, unable to discern Feng Wuchen’s intentions.

Hearing this, Tianming shook his head and said, “To be honest, I have no idea.”

Ying Hun frowned anxiously, “If it’s just a bluff, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

“Pavilion Master, you’re gravely injured. At this point, we can only put our trust in Feng Ying!” Tianming said gravely, as they were entirely powerless against the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors.

Feng Wuchen’s form slowly ascended into the sky, radiating an arrogant and defiant stance.

“Feng Ying is of the Dragon God Clan. If he’s this fearless, it’s likely that a powerful Dragon God Clan expert is hiding in the shadows,” Emperor Ling said with a frown, hesitating to act rashly.

“A Dragon God Clan expert? One so powerful that even we couldn’t detect their presence?” The Asura Heavenly Emperor furrowed his brows deeply, his expression growing grave.

“Hasn’t the Tianzun Divine Palace’s elder been monitoring the Dragon God Clan all this time? If the Dragon God Clan had made any unusual moves, it would be impossible for us not to know,” the Death Heavenly Emperor said with concern.

“A Dragon God Clan member wielding the divine power of the Heavenly Dao would have a highly extraordinary identity. Do not underestimate them,” the Undying Heavenly Emperor cautioned, his vigilant eyes scanning the surroundings.

And yet, what left the Eight Heavenly Emperors deeply stunned was their inability to sense anything at all.

“What’s the matter? The Eight Great Heavenly Emperors under the Heavenly Sovereign’s command are supposedly so formidable, and here I am, just a humble Heavenly Monarch. Are you all afraid to strike? Weren’t you ordered to capture me? And now you’re all cowering like frightened mice?”

The Eight Great Heavenly Emperors’ expressions grew intense, but none dared to act. Feng Wuchen, noticing this, couldn’t hold back a taunt, his cold eyes carrying a trace of disdain.

“You insolent brat!” The Oblivion Heavenly Emperor’s face twisted immediately with fury, his anger surging like a storm.

“Outrageous! How dare you insult the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors!” The Nether Heavenly Emperor roared in a fit of rage.

“Arrogant child! If given a chance, I’ll make you wish for death!” The Asura Heavenly Emperor’s eyes narrowed dangerously, suppressing his mounting rage.

As Eight Great Heavenly Emperors, who dared treat them with such contempt and insult?

If anyone other than Feng Wuchen had spoken those words, the Eight Heavenly Emperors wouldn’t have hesitated to strike them down.

Feng Wuchen spread his hands and sneered coldly, “Oh? If you’ve got the nerve, come at me. But let me make this clear first—if things go awry, it’s none of my concern, especially for those already injured.”

“You—!” The Asura Heavenly Emperor fumed, but he didn’t dare act rashly.

The Undying Heavenly Emperor and the others, infuriated by Feng Wuchen’s provocation, contorted their faces in rage. Their muscles twitched, but still, none dared to strike impulsively.

The Eight Great Heavenly Emperors knew better than anyone how powerful the Dragon God Clan was.

With the Heavenly Sovereign still dormant, if the Dragon God Clan did indeed make a move, none of them could stop it.

“Feng Ying is part of the Dragon God Clan and wields the divine power of the Heavenly Dao. There must be a top-tier Dragon God Clan expert secretly protecting him. The fact we can’t detect any energy fluctuations only suggests their cultivation surpasses ours,” the Undying Heavenly Emperor speculated with a frown.

“Stronger than us? Could it be…” The Ancient Emperor’s expression changed drastically, as if he’d realized something, a flicker of terror flashing in his eyes.

“Let’s hope this bluffs them; otherwise, the Tianshi Immortal Mansion is doomed today,” Feng Wuchen mused internally, forcing himself to stay composed as he faced the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors.

“The… the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors are really intimidated!” Yang Qianxiao’s jaw dropped in shock, his mind reeling.

“Did I just see that? The Eight Great Heavenly Emperors actually don’t dare to make a move. They seem to fear Lord Feng deeply. Just who is Lord Feng?” Bai Hun was utterly stunned, his disbelief evident on his face.

The Benevolent Venerable, the Flame Emperor, and the others were equally astounded, unable to fathom how Feng Wuchen alone could force the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors into retreat.

“Enough talk! If you’re going to fight, then do it already. I don’t have time to waste on you lot.” Feng Wuchen’s voice suddenly turned ice-cold, his gaze fierce and menacing, like a predator ready to devour prey.

“Damn it! Do you really think I don’t dare to strike you?” The Asura Heavenly Emperor, trembling with rage, was on the verge of losing control.

“Asura Heavenly Emperor, don’t act recklessly. We’re all injured. If there really is a Dragon God Clan expert, we’ll be utterly defeated. The Heavenly Sovereign hasn’t awakened, and the elders have been monitoring the Dragon God Clan, yet there’s been no unusual activity. This is highly suspicious. We must first consult the Elder Council,” the Undying Heavenly Emperor quickly urged, stopping him.

“This insolent brat doesn’t even see us as a threat, going so far as to insult us. Why bother consulting the Elder Council? Just capture him now!” The Asura Heavenly Emperor turned to the Undying Heavenly Emperor in fury.

“This situation is delicate. The Dragon God Clan’s strength is immense. If we act recklessly and they retaliate, can we withstand it?” the Death Heavenly Emperor countered with a furrowed brow.

“Damn it!” The Asura Heavenly Emperor gritted his teeth, clenching his fists so tightly his knuckles cracked. He was itching to strike Feng Wuchen down with one blow.

Emperor Ling said gravely, “We must consult the Elder Council, and we need to investigate Feng Ying’s true identity.”

“Feng Ying, count yourself lucky today. But next time, you won’t be so fortunate.” The Undying Heavenly Emperor spoke coldly before disappearing in a flash.

The Immortal Kui Heavenly Emperor and others followed suit, retreating one after another.

“Brat! Just wait and see! I won’t let you off!” The Ancient Emperor snarled venomously.

Feng Wuchen shrugged nonchalantly and sneered, “Oh? Any time you’re ready! I only fear you don’t have the guts!”

“I’ll remember you!” The Asura Heavenly Emperor said coldly.

Under the tyrannical aura exuded by Feng Wuchen, the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors fled in humiliation.

“Hah!”

Once the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors departed, Feng Wuchen let out a long sigh of relief. He was fortunate to have subdued them; otherwise, who knew how many lives would have been lost today.

Facing the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors had been overwhelming, but his countless brushes with death in the Human Realm helped him pull off the bluff.

“It seems the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors have a significant fear of the Dragon God Clan!” Feng Wuchen grinned before descending to the Tianshi Immortal Mansion’s plaza.

Watching Feng Wuchen land, Ying Hun stared at him in astonishment and said, “Feng Ying managed to force the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors to retreat with just a few words!”

Ying Hun had already guessed that Feng Wuchen had leveraged his ties to the Dragon God Clan and used psychological warfare against the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors.

Ying Hun couldn’t help but sweat on Feng Wuchen’s behalf for his boldness.

But given the Dragon God Clan’s overwhelming strength, it was unsurprising that everyone, aside from the Heavenly Sovereign, was wary of them—including the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors.

“What kind of person is Lord Feng, to instill such fear in the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors?” Su Xuan stood frozen, utterly dumbfounded.

If the Eight Great Heavenly Emperors learned that Feng Wuchen was bluffing, who knows if they’d cough up blood in anger.
