Permanent Martial Arts

Swoosh.

Lin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. Then, the burning origin gradually calmed. The cosmic power in his body quickly retreated into his internal universe, and even the three Chaotic Holes recovered.

Lin Feng did not exude much authority from his person, but everyone remained motionless. Even the 3,000 Silver-Armored Guards and the 13 Golden-Armored Divine Generals did not dare to move at all.

"Come."

Lin Feng waved his hand, and the Celestial Emperor Peak landed in his hand. This Celestial Emperor Peak was very heavy. As it had not been refined, even without its master controlling it, the Celestial Emperor Peak was so heavy that even Lin Feng found it strenuous.

However, refining the Celestial Emperor Peak was not difficult. The Celestial Emperor had already completed the most difficult step. Refining the Celestial Emperor Peak into a Chaotic artifact was the most difficult step.

The Celestial Emperor must have thought of all kinds of methods and expended much effort to succeed. If he could succeed so easily, the Celestial Emperor Peak would have long been refined into a treasure by someone. How could the Celestial Emperor get his chance?

However, the Celestial Emperor had spent a lot of effort to refine the Celestial Emperor Peak into a Chaotic artifact. He originally wanted to rely on the Celestial Emperor Peak to show his prowess in front of the other seven peak Chaotic Perfected Persons.

Now, Lin Feng had benefited. Without a master, it was not difficult to refine the Celestial Emperor Peak at all. In a few breaths, Lin Feng had refined it.

"Retrieve!"

With a thought from Lin Feng, the Celestial Emperor Peak quickly shrank. Finally, it transformed into a stream of light and flew into Lin Feng's internal universe. In his internal universe, Lin Feng's Spirit Suppression Bell and the Celestial Emperor Peak could still be "nurtured" by the internal universe.

Even though no changes could be seen in a short period of time, as time passed, such as with a hundred or a thousand years of nurturing, the difference would be visible.

This was especially the case for the Celestial Emperor Peak. It was a mountain to begin with. It had been naturally enhanced over billions of years in the Chaotic continent to reach its current state.

If it had been nurtured in Lin Feng's internal universe for billions of years, it would probably have become a Chaotic spirit treasure.

"All 3,000 Silver-Armored Guards are welcome to join the Black Moon Kingdom!"

"The 13 Golden-Armored Divine Generals are all Chaotic Perfected Persons. We cannot simply allow you to leave. How about this? Serve the queen for a thousand years, and you can be free."

Lin Feng said indifferently. With a few words, he decided the fates of the 13 Golden-Armored Divine Generals and the 3,000 Silver-Armored Guards.

The 13 Golden-Armored Divine Generals and the 3,000 Silver-Armored Guards did not dare to have any objections. In the Chaos, the strong were respected. Since the Celestial Emperor had already fallen, no one was foolishly loyal to him anymore.

Every one of them was a cultivator. Cultivation was about the self. Joining the Celestial Emperor was also for the sake of cultivating better. Now that the Celestial Emperor was dead, they naturally had to accept Lin Feng's arrangements.

If they did not accept the arrangements, the outcome would be very clear. No one would court their own death.

"By the way, give me the Inescapable Net."

With that, Lin Feng turned around and left. He would leave the rest to the queen. The queen would definitely be adept at handling such matters.

Looking at Lin Feng's departing back, the queen seemed to be still in a daze. However, looking at the 3,000 Silver-Armored Guards and the 13 Golden-Armored Divine Generals at her disposal, the queen came back to her senses.

This was not a dream, but something that had really happened, right before her eyes.

The Celestial Emperor had fallen. The Celestial Emperor, one of the eight peak Chaotic Perfected Persons of the Incendium Continent, had fallen. She could imagine what kind of commotion it would cause once this news spread.

Moreover, the benefits to the Black Moon Kingdom were obvious. From now on, the Black Moon Kingdom would probably be able to completely gain a foothold. Once they gained a foothold in the Incendium Continent, who would dare to act presumptuously in the Black Moon Kingdom?

In fact, the queen had thought further.

She thought of how in the future, when the Black Moon Kingdom completely established itself and gained a foothold, she would even have a trace of hope that she could really achieve her goal, and overturn the situation of the entire Incendium Continent.

This was her path. Once it was accomplished, she might even become a Perfected Lord!

Cultivation was about strength, and at the same time, it was about the mind.

Only by having a mind at ease and clear thoughts could one reach a profound realm, and thus advance by leaps and bounds.

There were tens of thousands of types of cultivation. Some people cultivated diligently for billions of years before finally attaining their path and becoming Perfected Lords, undying and indestructible. On the other hand, some people could also attain perfected spirits upon having an epiphany. As long as the Chaos still stood, Perfected Lords would not die.

There were also people whose cultivation went smoothly and had astonishing opportunities, and could still cultivate to the level of Perfected Lords.

There were tens of millions of cultivation paths, and they were all unique. The queen's cultivation path was the Black Moon Kingdom, an ideal she had always pursued. If she could realize this ideal and achieve this goal, she would no longer have any regrets. At that time, with a clear mind and an unburdened heart for cultivation, she might be able to become a Perfected Lord.

"Lin Feng, thank you!"

The queen muttered softly. She knew that Lin Feng had helped her a lot. She might never be able to repay this favor in her entire life.

…

In an ancient abode on Mount Sangharama…

A thin old man suddenly opened his eyes. There was a boy in front of him.

"Ancestor, Ancestor, the Celestial Emperor has fallen!"

"Huh?"

The thin old man's entire body shook, and he opened his eyes.

"The Celestial Emperor has fallen?"

"That's right, that's right. The Celestial Emperor was killed by a newly ascended Perfected Person called Lin Feng. Many people saw it with their own eyes!"

The boy had specially inquired about this news. In reality, there was no need to specially inquire about it, because this news had long spread throughout the entire Incendium Continent.

How shocking was the death of one of the eight peak Chaotic Perfected Persons?

It was probably the greatest event that had shaken the Incendium Continent in thousands of years—no, even tens of thousands of years.

"Back then, I met the Celestial Emperor once. When we first met, the Celestial Emperor looked down on the world and treated it as nothing. His goal was always the Perfected Lord who disappeared from the Incendium Divine Palace. Unfortunately, he fell before he could complete his path."

The thin old man heaved a long sigh, feeling that it was a pity. However, that was all. The path of cultivation was long. Although there were many Chaotic Perfected Persons, there had only been two people in the Incendium Continent who could cultivate perfected spirits since ancient times, Perfected Lord Sky Sigil and Perfected Lord Incendium.

No matter how many geniuses there were, as long as they did not become Perfected Lords, they would still be fragile as a bubble that could be broken at any moment.

The old man closed his eyes and fell silent like a rock.

…

Waves surged in the East Spirit Sea. A man in black sat cross-legged on the waves quietly. No matter how the waves raged, not a single drop of water dampened the man's clothes.

"Big Brother, the Celestial Emperor has fallen!"

Suddenly, a golden light flew over from afar, revealing a Chaotic Perfected Person.

"The Celestial Emperor has fallen?"

The man in black opened his eyes, which seemed to be filled with infinite disillusionment.

"That's right. It's spread throughout the entire Incendium Continent now. I heard that he was killed by a newly ascended Perfected Person named Lin Feng. That Perfected Person Lin Feng is only an advanced Chaotic Perfected Person!"

The man in black seemed to be deep in thought as he muttered in a low voice, "Back when I fought with the Celestial Emperor, I was defeated by a narrow margin. I originally wanted to spar with him again the next time we meet. Unexpectedly, time has passed. Things have changed, and the Celestial Emperor has actually fallen. As expected, the path of cultivation is merciless. Another close friend is gone on the path of cultivation."

With that, the man in black closed his eyes.

As for avenging the Celestial Emperor? He had never thought of it. Even if he was also a peak Chaotic Perfected Person, what friendship could he have with the Celestial Emperor?

…

"Palace Master, Palace Master, the Celestial Emperor has fallen!"

The Incendium Divine Palace was the holy land of the entire Incendium Continent. It was rumored that the only Perfected Lord on the continent, Perfected Lord Incendium, had always been cultivating in seclusion in the Incendium Divine Palace.

"The Celestial Emperor has fallen?"

The Palace Master opened his eyes. He was the most outstanding descendant of Perfected Lord Incendium. He was already a peak Chaotic Perfected Person, and even the first Chaotic Perfected Person of the Incendium Continent!

His status was very revered!

"That's right. The Celestial Emperor had fallen, and he was killed by a Perfected Person called Lin Feng. I heard that it was over the matter of the Black Moon Kingdom."

"Forget it. There are countless geniuses in the Incendium Continent. Someone will fall eventually along the path. How many people can attain their path?"

The Palace Master closed his eyes again, as if unmoved.

A genius cultivator like the Celestial Emperor had even tried to challenge him, the first Chaotic Perfected Person, and showed aggression towards the Incendium Divine Palace. But what was the outcome?

The Celestial Emperor had fallen. Moreover, the Celestial Emperor was not the first, and would definitely not be the last.

There were simply too many of these geniuses. However, up until today, only two Perfected Lords had been born in the Incendium Continent. The path of cultivation was long. How difficult was it to attain success?

However, the fall of the Celestial Emperor was indeed the greatest event in the Incendium Continent in tens of thousands of years. This news swept through the entire continent like a storm.

Lin Feng became famous overnight. He replaced the Celestial Emperor as one of the eight peak Chaotic Perfected Persons of the Incendium Continent at once!
