Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Mo Feng's hands trembled, his lips quivering with intense emotion.

He slowly opened the black box.

Instantly, a wisp of dark red light shone out.

Inside the box, strands of dark red runes crisscrossed and intertwined in the small space, gradually coalescing into a mechanical puppet talisman, then scattering back into runes, endlessly repeating the cycle.

"This is the mechanical puppet talisman researched by the Evil Ancestor of my Mo family back then?"

His breathing quickened, and he produced a special Qiankun bag, opening the mouth and collecting the mechanical puppet talisman.

"Soon, I will have everything, soon!"

A sinister sneer gradually appeared on Mo Feng's face. He stowed the Qiankun bag away, closed the black box, and put it into his storage ring.

"Father suddenly came to find me, mentioning the forbidden chamber. Could it be that he already suspects something? No, before I succeed, I absolutely cannot let Father see any clues and disrupt my plan!"

Mo Feng turned and left the small courtyard, making his way to the Mo family's Forbidden Pavilion, where he returned the box to its original position.

Emerging from the Forbidden Pavilion, he initially intended to ask the clan elder who guarded the place year-round whether his father had been there.

But on second thought, if he asked, and the clan elder informed his father, it would only create unnecessary complications and arouse his father's suspicion.

"I hope Father hasn't been here before. No one can stop me from reaching the peak!"

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he strode away from the Forbidden Pavilion.

… …

At dusk, Mo Feng arrived at the foot of Sovereign King Mountain.

"Mo family's Holy Son, Mo Feng, requests an audience with Lord God!"

He stood at the foot of Sovereign King Mountain, bowing slightly as he called out.

"Mo family's Holy Son?"

Ling Fei, in a light green palace dress, stepped into the air, looking down at Mo Feng below the mountain, and said, "What business do you have with Lord God?"

"Mo Feng greets Regent!" Mo Feng saw Ling Fei and gave a graceful salute, saying, "I have some cultivation questions I wish to ask Lord God, and the other day when I drank with Lord God at my Mo family, it was not enough to satisfy me. I boldly invite Lord God to drink together under the moon, and I ask the Regent to convey this message."

"Lord God is currently in secluded cultivation. You should return first. When he emerges from seclusion, this Queen will convey your words to him."

"Then thank you, Regent."

Mo Feng took two steps back, then turned and left.

"Cultivation questions? The Mo family has an Extreme Celestial Half-Sage, why would he need to ask the Young Lord?"

Ling Fei turned and walked toward the Sovereign Sect's secret chamber area.

She naturally did not believe that the Mo family's Holy Son had come to ask about cultivation matters. He must have had other purposes.

Perhaps he wanted to get closer to the Young Lord, or perhaps he wanted to request some rare resources?

But no matter what, since the Mo family's Holy Son mentioned having drunk with the Young Lord, it seemed they were already acquainted, and she naturally had to inform the Young Lord of this matter.

"Ling Fei, is something the matter?"

She stood in front of Jun Wuxie's secret chamber, just about to use her divine sense to awaken him, when she heard his voice.

Immediately, the door to the secret chamber opened automatically: "Come in."

"Young Lord has broken through to the Extreme Realm?"

Ling Fei entered the secret chamber and immediately saw Jun Wuxie's realm, and couldn't help but reveal a look of joy.

"Almost at the Extreme Realm Minor Perfection."

Jun Wuxie smiled, and with a wave of his hand, Ling Fei's body flew over automatically, landing in his arms.

Ling Fei exclaimed softly, nestled in his arms, her face slightly red, her limpid eyes rippling with amorous feelings.

"Does my Ling Fei miss me, or do you have something to ask of me?"

Jun Wuxie used his finger to hook her crystal-clear, rounded chin, a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"I miss Young Lord, and I also have something to ask of Young Lord ～"

Ling Fei moved her body slightly, finding a more comfortable position in his arms, and immediately began to talk about the Mo family's Holy Son.

"You said Mo Feng? He came to ask me to drink?" Jun Wuxie smiled faintly, saying, "Mo Feng is an ambitious person. His purpose in asking me to drink must be something else. Perhaps he wants me to help him."

"The Mo family has made no small contribution to my dynasty. Half of the entire family is busy forging weapons and researching mechanical runes with the Xuanyuan clan. It just so happens that I can bring them some rare resources."

Jun Wuxie got up and stretched his muscles, pulling Ling Fei out of the secret chamber.

"Young Lord, come back early, I'll be waiting for you ～"

Ling Fei sent him to the foot of the mountain, her face blushing slightly after saying these words.

Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment, immediately understanding her meaning, smiling and kissing her on the forehead, before disappearing into the night.

His arrival alarmed the Mo family's higher-ups, who came out to greet him one after another.

"Not knowing that Lord God would descend, we failed to welcome you. I hope Lord God will not be offended!"

The Mo family's Old Ancestor bowed slightly, his posture very low. Even with his Extreme Celestial Realm cultivation, he now felt awe from the bottom of his heart when facing this young man.

The scene of hundreds of Extreme Celestial beings staining the dusk with blood on the day of the celebration was still vivid in his mind.

"You don't need to be so polite. I came at Mo Feng's invitation to have a chat with him."

His expression was very amiable as he looked at Mo Feng behind the Mo family's Old Ancestor.

"Mo Feng!" The Mo family's Old Ancestor turned and glared at him, "Lord God was coming, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Old Ancestor, I… didn't know Lord God would come tonight…"

Mo Feng smiled wryly, looking aggrieved.

"Alright, don't blame Mo Feng. Now you don't need to treat me as Lord God. I'm just here to catch up with Mo Feng. All of you, step back."

After saying that, he walked up to Mo Feng and said, "Let's go, don't just stand there."

"Ah?"

Mo Feng's expression was slightly dazed, but then he eagerly led the way, following a small path of broken stones between the mountains and rivers, to a courtyard beside a waterfall.

"The scenery here is quite nice. You certainly know how to enjoy yourself."

Jun Wuxie smiled as he entered the courtyard.

"Lord God is joking, please sit." Mo Feng brushed off the stool in front of the jade table, took out a jar of fine wine, broke the seal, took out two large bowls, and smiled, "That day when I drank with Lord God, it wasn't satisfying enough. Today, we'll use big bowls!"

Jun Wuxie smiled, saying, "Mo Feng, if you have something to say, you can say it directly. There's no need to be reserved in front of me. If there's anything you need my help with, I'll help you if I can."

"I just have some confusion…" Mo Feng sighed, "Ever since I saw the young Supremes of the various forces in the starry sky that day, I've felt a great deal of pressure. For a time, I didn't know how to walk the road ahead."

Jun Wuxie wasn't surprised to hear him say that.

Mo Feng was the kind of person who wouldn't settle for mediocrity. He was very confident in his own talent, but when he came to this world, he saw a large number of young Supremes who were stronger than him, and it was inevitable that his Dao heart would be impacted.

However, he was also a little puzzled.

Mo Feng couldn't even adjust his own mentality. His will was a little too weak.

Moreover, at this moment, his powerful soul divine sense sensed some unusual, suppressed fluctuations in Mo Feng's state of mind.

"I've made Lord God laugh." Mo Feng smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the wine jar, filled two bowls with wine, spread out his palms, covered the edges of the wine bowl in front of him with his five fingers, and slowly placed it in front of Jun Wuxie, saying, "Tonight, I invite Lord God to drink together, and I hope Lord God won't think that Mo Feng is reaching too high."

A strange color flashed deep in Jun Wuxie's eyes. He looked at the wine in front of him and said to Mo Feng, "You have ambition and aspirations, and now you have such a cultivation environment. You will definitely shine in the future. If you need resources, I can provide them for you. You don't need to have any worries, and you don't need to belittle yourself because of those young Supremes. How about we drink this bowl of wine after you've opened your heart?"

"Could it be that Lord God dislikes Mo Feng's wine?" Mo Feng joked with a smile, saying, "Tonight, I invited Lord God here because Mo Feng only wants to get drunk. If we wait until my heart is opened, I'm afraid we won't be able to drink this wine tonight."

"It's inconvenient to drink it today, we can drink it another day. Drinking can be done anytime, but you have to untie your heart as soon as possible. If it takes too long, it will have a great impact on your Dao heart."

"Is Lord God now high above, shining in the world, and looking down on Mo Feng?"

Mo Feng sighed, looking rather inferior, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and said, "Mo Feng will drink first as a sign of respect!"

He gulped it down, the wine flowing down his chin to his neck, soaking a large area of his clothes.

"Do you really want me to drink with you?" Jun Wuxie sighed in his heart, asking that.

"If Lord God looks down on Mo Feng, then it's fine if you don't drink."

"Mo Feng, you are too persistent. This kind of persistence makes you lose your calm and self. If you continue like this, it will ruin you."

Jun Wuxie picked up the wine bowl, looking at him with deep eyes.

Mo Feng smiled dejectedly, filled his own bowl, picked it up and touched Jun Wuxie's wine bowl, saying, "Lord God, please, how about drinking this bowl with me?"

"Since that's the case, I'll grant you this wish."

Jun Wuxie looked at him, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp under Mo Feng's gaze.

Mo Feng watched him drink the wine in the bowl, a strange smile flashing in his eyes.

… …

At the same time, in the Mo family's Old Ancestor's courtyard, a clan elder came in a hurry and whispered in his ear.

"What did you say?" The Mo family's Old Ancestor's body shook violently, a look of horror appearing in his eyes: "Have you confirmed it?"

"It's been confirmed!" The clan elder nodded, his expression grave, saying, "This matter is our dereliction of duty. We didn't expect the Holy Son to have designs on that forbidden thing. He entered the Forbidden Pavilion twice, with only a few days in between. The more we thought about it, the more we felt something was wrong, so we discussed it and went inside to check. At that time, when we saw that the forbidden black box was still there, we thought we were overthinking it, but after thinking about it again and again, we still felt that something was wrong, so we opened the box and found that the things inside had disappeared…"

"Mo Feng! Mo Feng stole the puppet evil talisman?"

The Mo family's Old Ancestor seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said urgently, "Notify Mo Cheng and Mo Ji to return quickly!"

"Yes."

The Mo family's clan elder left in a hurry.

The Mo family's Old Ancestor's lips trembled. Mo Feng stole the puppet evil talisman and happened to invite Lord God to drink at this time. This…

The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became. He couldn't help but shudder, his face turning pale, and he hurriedly rushed towards the small valley where Mo Feng lived.

“Lord Divine King!”

The Old Ancestor of the Mo family instantly appeared in Mo Feng's small courtyard.

“Senior, why have you come?”

Jun Wuxie looked at him in astonishment.

“I…”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be in any abnormal state, the Old Ancestor of the Mo family secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I just came to take a look, afraid that Mo Feng, this kid, doesn't understand the rules and might offend you.”

“Old Ancestor, what are you talking about? Where did so many rules come from? What offense or no offense? Old Ancestor, your wording is not appropriate.”

Mo Feng stood up and said with a smile, a hint of frivolity in his expression.

“Mo Feng!”

The Old Ancestor of the Mo family narrowed his eyes. This kid actually dared to talk to him like that, completely different from his usual humble and refined demeanor.

“Old Ancestor, what's going on?”

Two figures landed in the courtyard almost simultaneously.

It was Mo Cheng and Mo Ji.

They returned to the clan but couldn't find the Old Ancestor. Their divine sense detected that the Old Ancestor was here. Not expecting that Lord Divine King was also present, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Lord Divine King…”

As soon as they spoke, they immediately thought of something, and their expressions changed drastically. They looked at Mo Feng with shocked and angry eyes.

“Grandfather, Father, you've come.” Mo Feng's lips curled into a strange smile, and he said, “Unfortunately, it seems you've come a little late.”

“Insolent son, what do you mean?”

Mo Ji's face was ashen, and the corners of his eyes twitched violently.

His son, whom he was so proud of, had actually stolen the forbidden object sealed by the family, and was now speaking to him in such a tone. He had no respect for his elders and was completely different from the person he used to be!

“What do I mean? Doesn't Father understand? Grandfather, Old Ancestor, don't you understand either?” Mo Feng laughed wildly, “Hahaha! Everything is already a foregone conclusion. Everything will eventually be mine!”

“Bastard, have you lost your mind?”

Mo Ji's chest heaved violently with anger, and he said in a cold voice, “What exactly have you done?”

“Hahaha!” Mo Feng retreated violently. Countless mechanical runes appeared in front of him, weaving into a formation diagram. He looked at Jun Wuxie through the mechanical runes and said, “Lord Divine King, you are high above, possessing all the glory in the world. It is truly enviable, and it makes me, Mo Feng, extremely jealous. Therefore, I will take everything from you and control it in my hands!”

“Insolent son, how dare you utter such rebellious words! Lord Divine King is not only the sovereign of my Mo family, but also the benefactor of my Mo family. You ungrateful wretch, I will cripple you today!”

Mo Ji was so angry that he was about to explode. The son in front of him had become so unfamiliar. That crazed look in his eyes, that sinister smile, pierced his heart like sharp knives.
