Chapter 432 The Nine Heavens Emperor

Chapter 432 The Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens

Upon hearing the origin of the golden lightning, Lin Fei's expression grew increasingly grim.

He hadn't expected the golden lightning to be so powerful. Even a powerful Earth Immortal would perish before the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Lightning.

Although the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Lightning wasn't particularly fast, and Lin Fei was able to dodge it, its power was immense. Taking the divine positions from the incense altar under its force would be virtually impossible.

Lin Fei's face was gloomy, and the Sun God beside him also spoke up, "My lord, it seems that these divine positions are ultimately not meant for us. Let's leave this place!"

Lin Fei, however, was unwilling to give up these divine positions that were so close at hand, and asked, "Isn't there any way to deal with the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Lightning?"

After thinking for a long time, Mao Ri Xingjun shook his head and said, "This Heavenly Emperor Divine Thunder is a unique treasure of the Nine Heavens Emperor. Apart from the Nine Heavens Emperor himself, no one knows its secrets. I'm afraid that only the resurrection of the Nine Heavens can stop this Heavenly Emperor Divine Thunder. Otherwise, I'm afraid there is no other way."

Even without the Sun God saying it, Lin Fei could guess. This Heavenly Emperor's Divine Thunder was one of the methods used by the Nine Heavens Emperor to intimidate those ancient gods with great supernatural powers. With the existence of this Heavenly Emperor's Divine Thunder, which even Earth Immortals would perish from, even those ancient gods with great supernatural powers dared not easily violate the Heavenly Rules and Precepts.

How could the Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens allow information about such a treasure to be easily leaked out?

Lin Fei stood there for a long time, but under the threat of the Heavenly Emperor's divine thunder, he did not take another step forward.

Lin Fei's expression was uncertain. He was unwilling to give up those divine positions that were within his grasp, but he had no way to deal with the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Lightning.

Lin Fei's greatest trump card right now is none other than his Six Paths Primordial Spirits. But even the most powerful of the Six Paths Primordial Spirits, the Heavenly Path Primordial Spirit Yuan Tiangang, is only close to the Earth Immortal level in terms of strength.

Even true Earth Immortals would perish under the power of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Thunder. Yuan Tiangang had not yet reached the true Earth Immortal realm, so it was impossible for him to obtain those divine positions on the incense altar.

Lin Fei gritted his teeth and finally decided to temporarily abandon the divine positions before him. After all, his goal was to reach the higher Heavenly Palace, not these divine positions.

While these divine positions were tempting, Lin Fei didn't want to risk his life to obtain them here. He needed to conserve his strength to acquire the treasures of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Palaces.

Lin Fei said to Mao Ri Xingjun beside him, "Mao Ri, don't worry, I will get your divine position back for you one day!"

The Star Lord of the Rabbit Day nodded and said, "Thank you, sir!"

In truth, Mao Ri Xingjun had already given up hope of reclaiming his divine position. As an ancient god, he understood the power of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Thunder far better than Lin Fei. In Mao Ri Xingjun's view, obtaining the divine positions on the incense altar from under the divine might of the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Thunder was virtually impossible.

As the figure of the Rabbit Star Lord slowly dissipated, Lin Fei took another deep look at the divine positions before him, and then strode towards the exit of the Thirty-Second Heavenly Palace.

……

Although the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Thunder was powerful, Lin Fei might still have a chance to obtain those divine positions on the incense platform if he risked his life.

Lin Fei gave up because he didn't want to use all his strength and risk his life in this place.

Each of these final three heavenly palaces is extremely dangerous.

Within the thirty-first Heavenly Palace, the legendary ancient beast Shen is stationed.

Above the thirty-second Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Thunder, a unique treasure of the Nine Heavens Emperor, appeared.

This final level of the Heavenly Palace is likely to be even more dangerous than the previous two.

Lin Fei's goal is the mysterious treasure within the thirty-third Heavenly Palace. Even if it means risking his life, he must do so within the final Heavenly Palace.

……

After leaving the Thirty-Second Heavenly Palace, where numerous divine tablets were placed, Lin Fei entered the territory of the Thirty-Third Heavenly Palace.

It is also the top floor of these thirty-three heavenly palaces, a pinnacle of the ancient heavenly court ruins.

Upon reaching this final level of the Heavenly Palace, Lin Fei naturally held nothing back. Regardless of the dangers lurking within, Lin Fei was determined to go all out and obtain the treasures within.

At the same time, Lin Fei had a vague premonition that the treasure in the thirty-third Heavenly Palace must be the most precious and rarest among all the thirty-three Heavenly Palaces.

In the previous Heavenly Palace, nearly two hundred enticing treasures, like those of ancient gods, had already appeared. This thirty-third Heavenly Palace was a place personally designated by the True Martial Emperor, who summoned him here.

Lin Fei was also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of beings existed in the Thirty-Third Heaven Palace.

……

The gate to this thirty-third heavenly palace looked much the same as the previous two, with no significant differences. Its area was also far smaller than the preceding thirty heavenly palaces.

However, Lin Fei dared not be negligent in the slightest. After making all the necessary preparations, he slowly pushed open the gate of the last Heavenly Palace.

……

Lin Fei pushed open the door and entered this final heavenly palace, only to find a scene he had never seen before.

Or to be more precise, nothing appeared before Lin Fei's eyes; it was just pitch black, and he couldn't see anything at all.

It's important to understand that cultivators who have opened their eye apertures can already see in the dark, with no difference between day and night. For someone with Lin Fei's cultivation level, it goes without saying that no matter how dark the environment, it cannot affect his vision.

But at this moment, all that appeared before Lin Fei was pitch black; he couldn't see anything else. Even Lin Fei's divine sense, when probing, only detected darkness and nothing else.

It seemed that the darkness before them was what existed in this final heavenly palace.

Just as Lin Fei felt something was off about this place and was secretly alarmed, a voice suddenly rang out from the last layer of the Heavenly Palace: "Who are you? How dare you trespass on the sacred grounds of the Thirty-Third Heavenly Palace?"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Fei was startled. He hadn't sensed any life in the area. If the owner of the voice hadn't spoken but instead attacked him, he would likely have been severely injured, if not killed. He blurted out, "Who is it?"

Then the voice from the darkness continued, "I, Haotian, am the master of the Thirty-Three Heavens Palace, the Great Emperor of the Nine Heavens!"
