Chapter 280 Oh, I forgot, you don’t have a next life!

"This King will stay here for a while. You should go around the palaces, check the situation, and report to me at any time."

Li Xuanfeng looked at the bald youth in front of him, leaving his communication mark.

He needed a loyal subordinate to do things for him. He didn't think much of ordinary Cultivators, but a Prodigy like the Blood Demon Emperor was just right.

"Yes!"

The Blood Demon Emperor bowed respectfully, then flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

He knew that the news of Li Xuanfeng entering the Ancient Yao Palace could not be kept secret and would soon spread. Next, Li Xuanfeng would face an extremely dangerous situation.

Most of the powerful Cultivators in the Eastern Desolate had already gathered in the Ancient Yao Palace. It would have been fine if Li Xuanfeng hadn't entered this Dragon's Den, but since he had already appeared here, the powerhouses of the four super forces would certainly not let him go.

Cultivators like Mirror Emperor and Void Emperor, who coveted the secrets on his body, would definitely make a Move.

Furthermore, given Li Xuanfeng's style of doing things, he was likely to continue offending new enemies, such as those Yao Race members comparable to super forces.

Facing the arrival of Venerables, surrounded by enemies, and with several powerful individuals skilled in divination joining forces, it was still unknown whether Li Xuanfeng could survive this great tribulation.

But the Blood Demon Emperor would try his best not to let Li Xuanfeng fall into a desperate situation. After all, once Li Xuanfeng died, the Soul imprint he left behind would also explode, and his fate would be imaginable.

"Being enslaved and at the mercy of others is truly unpleasant. Fortunately, we agreed on a thousand years."

"If he can overcome this tribulation and continue his rapid cultivation speed, how powerful will he be a thousand years from now?"

The Blood Demon Emperor had always felt that the rumors about Li Xuanfeng were exaggerated. Only after seeing him with his own eyes did he realize that the Peerless King was indeed peerless, and could truly be called the number one King Realm of all ages.

Li Xuanfeng's cultivation time was less than a fraction of a fraction of his own. If this momentum could be maintained, the Blood Demon Emperor dared not imagine how powerful Li Xuanfeng would become a thousand years later.

By then, the gap between himself and him would probably be unimaginably vast, right?

In front of such a person, the Blood Demon Emperor's pride and confidence as a peerless Genius vanished. After being branded with a Soul imprint, his state of mind was destined to forever lag behind Li Xuanfeng…

After the Blood Demon Emperor left, Li Xuanfeng simply set up a hidden Formation to conceal the fluctuations, and then began to refine his Domain on the spot.

His Chaos Sword Domain had already reached a range of 600,000 li, and its growth rate had significantly slowed down.

"One Early Stage Emperor, three Middle Stage Emperors, a total of four Mid-level Emperor Dao Domains. I wonder if they can push me past 630,000 li, reaching the Peak of the Emperor Realm in Domain range?"

The maximum range of a Mid-level Emperor Dao Domain is 720,000 li.

Similar to the maximum range of a Low-level King Dao Domain at 360,000 li, the closer one gets to the limit, the harder it is to improve.

The range between 630,000 li and 720,000 li is considered the Peak of the Emperor Realm.

In other words, 630,000 li is a threshold; crossing it means reaching the Peak of the Emperor Realm.

Middle Stage Emperor Domains were becoming less and less helpful to Li Xuanfeng. After devouring and refining them, they didn't provide much improvement.

Each time he tried to break through a boundary was the most difficult. He wasn't sure if refining these four Mid-level Domains would allow him to surpass 630,000 li and officially step into the Peak of the Emperor Realm in terms of Domain.

"Let's refine them first. If it's not enough, there will be plenty of Emperors who will deliver themselves to my doorstep!"

Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.

He knew that if he stayed put, he would only need to wait some time, and his enemies would automatically come knocking, so there was no need to worry about not breaking through the boundary.

The premise was that the color of his destiny had not turned gray or black.

With a thought, the Chaos Sword Domain descended, releasing all its Chaos mist, devouring and refining the four Domains at the fastest speed.

The range of the Chaos Sword Domain began to grow, and the amount of Chaos mist also rapidly increased.

Ancient Yao Palace, magnificent palaces stretched endlessly, each palace a world unto itself.

According to the information the Golden Lion King revealed to Li Xuanfeng, these palaces were actually divided into regions.

For example, the area Li Xuanfeng was currently in was a place specifically for Artifact Refining in the Ancient Yao Palace.

Each palace was a giant Formation, gathering energy to temper weapons.

The planet enclosing the Azure Sky Sword was the core of the Formation. As the core was shattered by Li Xuanfeng's punch, the tempering ceased.

This palace stood out among the others in this area, indicating a higher probability of containing precious Opportunities than other palaces, which is why Li Xuanfeng entered this place.

It proved to be true; he obtained the top-grade Emperor Dao weapon, the Azure Sky Sword.

For a period afterward, this massive palace continued to attract many members of the Yao Race and Human Race. Upon discovering the hidden Formation, several King Realm Cultivators teamed up to try and break it, but were crushed into dust by a large Chaos hand.

The Yao Race and Human Race caught a glimpse of Li Xuanfeng, who was devouring and refining a Mid-level Emperor Realm Domain, through the裂缝 ripped open by the Chaos hand. They were greatly shocked and then decisively retreated.

News of the Peerless King appearing in the Ancient Yao Palace quickly spread.

In fact, when Li Xuanfeng killed the Black Bear King and the Golden Eagle King, the news of his appearance in the Ancient Yao Palace had already leaked out.

It's just that the process was now accelerating.

Half an hour later, Li Xuanfeng received a message from the Blood Demon Emperor.

It said that the Demonic Bear Race and the Golden Eagle Race had mobilized their forces to search for his whereabouts.

The Fan family, Heavenly Puppet Sect, and Black Flame Cult, upon learning of his appearance, also mobilized their forces to search.

The Blood Demon Emperor's message carried deep worry. He knew that given Li Xuanfeng's style, he would likely provoke new enemies, and offending the Yao Race was very normal.

But he never expected that Li Xuanfeng had already clashed with the Yao Race before meeting him, and had even killed the two top Yao Kings, the Black Bear King and the Golden Eagle King!

These two Yao Kings had very unusual identities; they were the great-grandsons of their respective Yao Race Clan Chiefs!

Li Xuanfeng had killed them; how could the other party let it go?

On the Human Race side, Li Xuanfeng had already offended the Xu family, Fan family, Heavenly Puppet Sect, and Black Flame Cult, these four super forces.

Now, on the Yao Race side, he had completely offended the Golden Eagle Race and the Demonic Bear Race.

Plus, the Blood Demon Emperor had personally witnessed the Sword Ape Emperor die at Li Xuanfeng's hands.

This meant that seven super forces had already stood against Li Xuanfeng!

Coincidentally, most of the powerhouses from these seven super forces were in the Ancient Yao Palace. The Blood Demon Emperor felt a headache coming on. He truly didn't know how Li Xuanfeng could resolve such a situation.

However, Li Xuanfeng, who should have been worried, was not anxious at all. The color of his destiny was completely normal, indicating that no matter what kind of situation he faced, it would not pose a threat to him.

So when the Blood Demon Emperor sent a message suggesting he should leave quickly, Li Xuanfeng didn't respond at all and continued to immerse himself in refining his Domain.

615,000 li, 617,000 li, 619,000 li…

Li Xuanfeng quietly experienced the process of his Domain growing. Each increment meant an increase in the total amount of Chaos mist, and his power grew stronger by a corresponding amount.

Several hours passed.

Buzz!

With a vast wave of fluctuation, the Domain refining was complete.

"629,999 li. Just one li short. This is too perfectly stuck," Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but complain, feeling the vast Chaos Sword Domain.

"But it's fine. What I need to Breakthrough has already arrived!"

With a thought, he put away the Chaos Sword Domain. Li Xuanfeng looked through the hidden Formation and saw a figure that had just appeared there.

It was a hunched old man, his face full of wrinkles, on the verge of death, much like the Void Emperor.

However, this person was clearly stronger, having reached the Late Stage of the Emperor Realm.

But his Aura seemed a bit chaotic, as if he had suffered some kind of backlash.

Li Xuanfeng had never seen this person, nor heard of him, but that didn't prevent him from guessing his intention.

With a flick of his finger, the hidden Formation automatically opened.

"Hehe, Peerless King!"

Seeing Li Xuanfeng appear, the hunched old man wasn't surprised at all, as if he had already known it was him inside the hidden Formation. A strange smile appeared on his aged face.

"Calculating your position wasn't easy. It almost sent this old Emperor's bones to their grave."

The old man sized up Li Xuanfeng.

Calculating Li Xuanfeng's position caused him to suffer a backlash. Fortunately, a treasure helped him withstand most of the damage, otherwise, he, who already had little Lifespan left, might have truly been sent away.

"It seems you have some divination methods, but not many," Li Xuanfeng looked at him, able to see the extremely dense black light of destiny through the System.

If this person was skilled in divination, he would have calculated his own death tribulation and wouldn't be smiling strangely like this now.

"Hehe, as long as I can calculate your position, it's enough!" The hunched old man chuckled.

He indeed didn't know much. To be precise, he wasn't skilled in the Dao of divination at all.

The reason he could calculate Li Xuanfeng's position was entirely due to a treasure he had once obtained.

That treasure could help him with divination, but it was a one-time consumable. Once used, it would be rendered useless.

He had kept it for thousands of years, unwilling to use it, just waiting for a suitable Opportunity.

He faced the same situation as the Mirror Emperor and Void Emperor: his Lifespan was nearing its end, and he wanted to seek spiritual medicine in this Ancient Yao Palace.

If he couldn't find the spiritual medicine, he planned to use that treasure to calculate its location.

But in reality, he knew that even if he accurately calculated it, the probability of him getting the spiritual medicine was very small. How could something coveted by a Venerable be so easy to obtain?

After learning that Li Xuanfeng appeared in the Ancient Yao Palace, after much consideration, he still decided to make a Move on him, to figure out the secret of his rapid Breakthrough and take it for himself. The probability was greater than snatching the spiritual medicine!

So he used that treasure to calculate Li Xuanfeng's position. The treasure bore the backlash for him, directly turning into dust.

He just didn't expect the cost of calculating Li Xuanfeng to be so great. The excess backlash transferred to him, almost causing him to fail to survive.

Fortunately, he successfully calculated Li Xuanfeng's position, and everything was worth it.

Buzz!

A dark Domain filled with Death Qi descended, reaching a range of 620,000 li.

"Choose. Shall this Emperor act to interrogate you, or will you voluntarily reveal the secrets on your body?"

With the descent of the Death Qi Domain, the Aura of the hunched old man also became extremely terrifying, his entire body enveloped in dense Death Qi, as if he had transformed into a Grim Reaper that hooks Souls.

The sky-filling Death Qi surged, attempting to forcibly plunder Li Xuanfeng's physical vitality.

"Old man, what right do you have to make this King choose?"

"Before calculating this King's position, why didn't you first calculate a卦 for yourself?"

Li Xuanfeng looked at him indifferently, the Azure Sky Sword appearing silently in his hand.

"Just because this Emperor is the Death Emperor!"

"Just because this Emperor is a Late Stage Emperor Realm!"

"Since you are so insensible, then this Emperor will personally make a Move!"

An Emperor Dao weapon, like a Grim Reaper's scythe, appeared in the hunched old man's hand.

Swish!

However, an invisible sword slash shot out first.

"Hehe!"

The Death Emperor sneered. Of course, he had heard that Li Xuanfeng had a Move that could forcefully sever the connection between the Soul and the Domain.

Even with the confidence to crush Li Xuanfeng, he had made some preparations in advance.

The scythe released a dense black light, as if countless wronged Souls were wailing, rushing towards the invisible sword slash.

However, the moment it touched the sword slash, it melted away rapidly like snow meeting the scorching sun.

"What?!"

The Death Emperor was instantly shocked. Only then did he realize that what Li Xuanfeng held was a top-grade Emperor Dao weapon!

This separation sword technique was countless times more powerful than rumored. His meager preparations simply couldn't withstand it!

Buzz!

With a thought, he wanted to retract his Domain.

However, Li Xuanfeng stretched out his palm towards him, and an invisible force surged, seemingly sweeping across the entire Death Qi Domain in an instant, gripping it tightly, causing his attempt to retract the Domain to fail.

Li Xuanfeng's self-created Move — Domain in the Palm!

"This is impossible?!"

The Death Emperor was greatly alarmed.

Swish!

The separation sword technique struck.

"Ah!"

The extreme pain of his Soul being torn apart made him let out a scream, and his Domain completely lost control.

"Death Emperor, is it? Your title is quite fitting. Now you can die!"

Li Xuanfeng's faint voice sounded, a brilliant sword light flashed, and the old head flew up.

"How is this possible?!"

"How is this possible?!"

His old eyes were filled with disbelief.

The rumored Li Xuanfeng was very strong, very exaggerated, but shouldn't he be crushed by an old Late Stage Emperor Realm Cultivator like him?

Why was he the one being crushed?

In the Death Emperor's incredulous gaze, the Chaos Sword Domain of 629,999 li descended, directly covering the Death Qi Domain, and then began to devour and refine it!

The Death Emperor was completely dumbfounded.

Is this a King Realm?

Can a King Realm have a Mid-level Domain comparable to a Late Stage Emperor Realm Cultivator?

And it's only one step away from the Peak of the Emperor Realm!

It's even vaster and more powerful than his genuine Late Stage Emperor Realm Cultivator's Domain!

"I didn't expect you to be quite nice, sending both a weapon and a Domain!"

"I was just worried about not breaking through 630,000 li, and you came to my aid like a timely downpour in winter."

Li Xuanfeng drew the Grim Reaper's scythe-like Emperor Dao weapon into his hand, looking at the Death Emperor's flying head with a mocking expression.

The Death Emperor was both furious and desperate.

He watched with wide eyes as the endless Chaos mist surged, devouring and refining his Death Qi Domain bit by bit.

The rumors were indeed true; Li Xuanfeng could devour and refine other people's Domains to strengthen his own!

"Next life, before coveting other people's secrets, remember to first calculate a卦 for yourself."

"Oh, this King forgot, you don't have a next life!"

For people like the Death Emperor, Li Xuanfeng liked to verbally attack them just before they died.

"Ah!"

The Death Emperor indeed roared with hatred, regret and despair flashing in his old eyes.

The Chaos mist surged, completely engulfing him.

Several hours later.

Buzz!

The Chaos Sword Domain vibrated, breaking through the 630,000 li boundary, reaching 640,000 li!

"It's done!"

Li Xuanfeng's face showed a smile.

His Domain had officially reached the Peak of the Emperor Realm!

His strength had once again climbed!

If his cultivation also broke through to the Peak of the Emperor Realm, what level of strength would he reach?

"Getting closer and closer to the Spirit Emperor!"

"Hmm, the chance for Dual Cultivation is also getting greater and greater!"

Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but think.
