Chapter 360 - 360 Trapping the Mother Emperor Empty-handedly
The moment Feng Xia spoke, the mother emperor was shocked.
She looked down instinctively and saw that there were densely packed symbols under her feet. These symbols were lighting up one by one and connecting with the entire space, emitting heart-palpitating fluctuations.
A strong murderous aura rose and intertwined, creating all kinds of phenomena. It seemed that if she moved slightly, she would suffer a terrifying fatal blow.
After taking a deep breath, the mother emperor spat out a few words with difficulty.
“Ten-Directional Annihilation… Killing Formation!”
This formation was the number one killing formation of the Lingyun era. It was boundlessly fiendish and had killed countless powerful enemies. It was savage and bloodthirsty. In the end, it even developed intelligence and almost devoured its master.
It was precisely for this reason that the Lingyun Emperor sealed this formation for a long time, and it was only when the tribulations of Lingyun Kingdom happened that he allowed it to be dusted off to erupt with a terrifying might that shook the heavens and the earth as it annihilated countless formidable enemies.
Unfortunately, they still did not manage to escape the calamity.
Even the fierce might of the number one killing formation could not save the declining Lingyun Kingdom. With the destruction of the Lingyun era, the fierce reputation of this formation faded. After the passage of time, there were no legends about it anymore.
Therefore, at this moment, the shock in the mother emperor’s heart was thousands of times stronger than when she saw Feng Xia display the 33 Levels Heavenly Origin Technique not long ago!
“When… when exactly?”
She muttered in disbelief, and the expression on her face became even more terrified.
If she was still at her peak, or if her original body was here, she might be able to escape after paying a certain price…
However, at this moment, facing the densely packed symbols that lit up everywhere, she felt a chill run down her spine. “When exactly did you set up the array formation?”
Suddenly, the mother emperor trembled and locked her gaze on Feng Xia.
“Who the hell are you?”
“If it was only the 33 Levels Heavenly Origin Technique, I might think that you are just lucky enough to obtain the Lingyun Emperor’s inheritance. However, the Ten-Directional Annihilation Formation… can’t be learned with just luck!”
Furthermore, Feng Xia had completed the array formation without her knowledge and turned her into a sitting duck!
This was clearly because he was extremely familiar with the Ten-Directional Annihilation Formation. He must have practiced it countless times and knew every detail of its composition before he could use it freely and easily to achieve such an effect.
This was no longer something that could be achieved by relying on legacies.
“Let me ask you again…” The mother emperor took a deep breath and said slowly, “Who exactly are you?”
Originally, she had only sensed that something had changed in this world. In order not to miss out on any opportunity, she had sent a clone to investigate the situation.
In the end, not long after she arrived, she encountered a freak like Feng Xia!
The 33 Levels Heavenly Origin Technique, the Ten-Directional Annihilation Formation… It made her feel as if she had returned to the past and met the Lingyun Emperor who had fought his way into the depths of her hive with his bare hands!
They were both equally as unfathomable and peerless!
The thought that she had just suppressed crazily appeared again.
“Back then, Lu Tiancheng… could it be that he really didn’t die…”
“And now… he’s here to settle old scores with me?!”
As for Zhu Youniang and Qing Lin, she had overlooked the strangeness that they had displayed earlier.
“Are you surprised, mother emperor?”
Feng Xia put his hands behind his back and said calmly with a smile, “His Majesty’s talent is beyond ordinary people’s imagination. Do you really think that Lingyun Kingdom back then… had no way out?”
Only Zhu Youniang noticed from the corner of her eye that there was already a layer of fine goosebumps on the back of Feng Xia’s neck.
However, Feng Xia used the power of the Mysterious Art of Creation to forcefully restrain them and lock all the pores on his body, not letting a drop of cold sweat drip down.
In history, they naturally had no way out.
Otherwise, if Lingyun Kingdom was still around, how could Xuanwu Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons appear later?
The current Feng Xia was just bragging and lying to the mother emperor. Nine and a half out of ten sentences were fake—but the mother emperor clearly did not know that!
“This fellow is definitely very afraid of death. When the tribulations of the Lingyun Kingdom happened, she hid in advance and didn’t appear in the world for hundreds of years…”
Purple energy surged in the zifu between Feng Xia’s brows as lotuses bloomed in the primeval atmosphere.
On every lotus, there was a small Feng Xia standing there. Some had their arms crossed, while others were frowning. Their expressions were all different.
However, they were all doing the same thing.
—The little figures of Feng Xia were doing crazy calculations. Based on all kinds of clues and the mother emperor’s logic, they were trying to deduce all her possible next actions in detail!
From time to time, one or two little figures of Feng Xia would scream and faint on the spot.
However, immediately after, more lotuses would bloom, holding up new figures of Feng Xia as they continued with this huge calculation exercise.
Before this, Feng Xia had only done this twice.
The first time was when he encountered a calamity in the Thousand Autumn Valley. He had deduced the Peerless 13 Swords then.
The second time was in the dream realm. He had deduced a second grand divine power of the Dao heart—the Sentient Fury!
Now…
It was the third time!
“The mother emperor is quite afraid of death. While she’s holed up, she might not know much about what happened in the Profound Origin World. As long as I make good use of this fact…”
The mother emperor was too timid. As soon as she saw anything related to the Lingyun Emperor, she became terrified and timid, so much so that she could not tell…
The so-called Ten-Directional Annihilation Killing Formation was actually fake!
On the surface, Feng Xia had a confident smile on his face. “Do you think that before the tribulations to Lingyun Kingdom happened, His Majesty only interacted with you and only forged an alliance with you?”
The mother emperor’s pupils suddenly constricted.
...
Without waiting for her to think about it, Feng Xia continued to chuckle. “Mother emperor, do you really think that His Majesty’s backup plan is only what you saw? If it’s really only what you saw, where do you think I come from?”
The mother emperor’s pupils constricted again.
Based on her understanding of the Lingyun Emperor, he was the kind of person who must prepare many contingencies. When you think that he has no way out, he might reveal a brand new trump card!
Otherwise, how could he create the glorious Lingyun era and shake up the surrounding worlds?
“Can it be that… he’s really not dead?”
The mother emperor swallowed her saliva instinctively. She stared at Feng Xia for a long time before she said bitterly, “Then, you’re here today to ask me… to repay the debt I owed back then?”
Feng Xia shook his head and said with a straight face.
“No, I’m here to talk about a new collaboration.”
