The winner is king, the loser is a bandit.
King Ju died on the stage. No one would discuss whether Lin Feng deserved it, because there was no need.
The more equal the strength, the more likely the outcome would be. Unless the battle ended in a draw, it would be like Lin Feng and King Ju fighting to the death. It was a roller coaster of a battle. It was not surprising who won. It was just one step away. Now, the one who died was probably Lin Feng.
Listening to the cheers around him, Lin Feng's tense nerves slowly relaxed.
The hand holding the Amethyst Spear had lost its last bit of strength. In his mind, he still remembered the feeling of the spear. A weak smile appeared on his face. But he did not expect that when he reached his limit, he would be able to comprehend that spear — —
The clouds rose.
The spear that the mysterious expert taught him.
He did not expect it.
"Originally, it would take at least a year and a half?" Lin Feng thought.
It might even take longer. After all, the feeling of the spear had to be practiced over and over again. Only then could one slowly comprehend it. Moreover, whether it was the concept of the spear or the spear itself, he was just a beginner. He did not have the knack of it.
But sometimes, it was just that difficult.
The fastest way to improve one's strength was indeed a battle of equal strength.
But … — —
Walking on the line between life and death was also very dangerous.
His main body had almost died in that battle. But now … he was unable to continue.
Extreme fatigue came to his mind. His eyes dimmed. The little soul power he had left was not enough to control his body. A white light flashed in front of him. Lin Feng's body trembled slightly. But he was still conscious. The last bit of energy flashed in his eyes.
Hua! His body appeared like a shadow.
In an instant, his original body returned to the Phoenix Natal Plate and fell asleep.
The consumption of his soul had reached the last string.
…
On the other side.
"Senior?" King Yan called out softly. His eyes were filled with confusion.
"Oh." Emperor Shun suddenly came to his senses. He looked at King Lu, who was still in a daze, and then looked at Lin Feng. His eyes brightened. He could naturally sense that Lin Feng's aura had changed. He had already changed from his main body to his avatar state.
It seemed that Lin Feng had been severely injured in the battle just now.
"Are you alright, Eldest Brother?" King Yan asked.
"Nothing." Shun Ran smiled and shook his head.
His gaze landed on Lin Feng, and his eyes were filled with curiosity. He wanted to know the relationship between Lin Feng and Holy Lord Cloud Spear.
How could he know this move, 'Clouds Rise'?
But …
Now was not the time to ask questions.
He still had one last, most important task that he had yet to complete.
Step! Shun Shun leaped up lightly. Amidst the cheers of the crowd, he leaped onto the stage. His eyes met with Lin Feng's, and he nodded with a smile. At this moment, there was no need for him to say anything because he'd already confirmed Lin Feng's identity a long time ago.
He was the 'Emperor' that the Heavenly Secret Holy Lord had mentioned.
The future Human Emperor!
"I hereby announce the end of the Battle for the Emperor's Throne!" Shun Ran turned around and scanned the crowd.
At this moment, all the cheers stopped. Every Saint was looking at the stage. More than 80% of the Saints in the Southern Region had gathered for this battle. Emperor Yao's disciples, the Peach Blossom experts, the Vermillion Bird Continent Saints, and even Shakala had brought Shi Zhixin along. At this moment, the little girl's expression was filled with excitement.
Every Saint was here to witness this important moment!
"Lin Feng will be the new Lord of the Southern Region!" Shun Ran shouted loudly.
Hua!
Everyone was in an uproar.
The Saints, who had been silent for a short period of time, suddenly exploded with enthusiasm and shouted excitedly.
There were no objections. Lin Feng's strength had already won over all the Saints present. He was definitely qualified to sit on the throne!
This time, Lin Feng's succession was much more high-profile than Shun's. It was much more agreeable. Just the scene alone was like heaven and earth. Looking at the crowd below the stage, Lin Feng smiled. Shun Ran's arrangements were brilliant. Every Saint was sincerely supporting him.
To ordinary people, how could they live better lives and become stronger? This was what they wanted from their superiors.
But to these Saints, who were already at the top, there was only one condition …
Strength!
Strength, they had to be strong!
Strength that far exceeded their own!
Using absolute strength to intimidate them was the key. It was also the biggest reason why Shun Ran had failed previously. At this moment, Lin Feng had completely understood. He let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Understanding was one thing, but doing it was another.
Sitting on the throne was just the beginning.
To him, a greater challenge was far from coming.
Since he had promised the Heavenly Secret Holy Lord and Shun Ran, he had truly become the Lord of the Southern Region.
Then he had to carry this heavy burden.
This was a man's promise.
"There's still a long way to go." Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
He looked around at the Saints who supported him. Most of them were unfamiliar faces, but there were also some experts that he knew. Including Jin Ji, Shi Zhixin, and Qian Lian Huang. They were all in the crowd today to support him. But …
Lin Feng's gaze landed on the remains of King Ju not far away. His eyes flashed.
There were too many unanswered questions!
King Ju was one of them.
Why did he have that 'grey energy'? Where did this grey energy come from? Was it the same as the Ten Thousand Bone Puppet? What was the connection between this and The Kingdom of Maru? Even if it was magnified, was there someone behind King Ju who was plotting all this?
No one knew.
There was something fishy going on.
Now that King Ju was dead, all the clues were gone.
Lin Feng was deep in thought as he stared at King Ju's corpse in a daze. Suddenly …
"Hmm?" Suddenly feeling a strange gaze, Lin Feng raised his head and looked into the distance. It was a familiar figure behind the crowd. His expression was cold and sharp like a sword. His black cloak made him look like a ghost in the night.
Ceng Ren!
"It's him?" Lin Feng and Ceng Ren looked at each other. They had crossed paths before.
Fu! Ceng Ren's black cloak fluttered and his lips curled into a cold smile. In an instant, he left. His smile seemed to be filled with hostility or provocation. Looking at the departing figure, Lin Feng didn't ask him to stay. In fact, he didn't have much of a grudge with Ceng Ren.
Although he wanted to kill him back then, it had been a long time.
Especially now that he was the Lord of the Southern Region, there was no need to kill him and be so petty.
Lin Feng calmed himself down and looked at the crowd. At this moment, all eyes were on him. Lin Feng smiled and said slowly, "Everyone, don't worry. I, Lin Feng, promise everyone that in the future, I will do my best to take care of the entire Southern Region. I will not let you down.
"Now, I solemnly announce that the Southern Region is independent. There will be no changes.
"We don't need to rely on the Eight Great Alliances, nor do we need to work for the Sorcerer and Ancient Clans. We just need to be ourselves.
"We need to live for ourselves!"
…
With the aftermath of the battle, Lin Feng didn't hide his views and expressed them clearly.
His arrogant speech was accepted by every Saint, and they had no choice but to accept it.
"Here, I'll first be a villain and then a gentleman. I might as well get straight to the point.
"If anyone doubts me, please leave the southern region. I won't stop you in the slightest. But if you stay, if anyone dares to have any objections in the future, don't blame me for being impolite! "
"I won't be as merciful as Emperor Shun."
Murderous intent shot out from his eyes.
The surrounding aura seemed to have become cold and frozen. The Saints felt a chill in their hearts and didn't dare to say anything.
Lin Feng's strength was in front of them. His merciless killing of Palace Master Ju Yan proved that Lin Feng was not a merciful person. If he said it, he would do it! Emperor Shun maintained his calm smile, and his eyes flashed with admiration. King Yan, King Lu, and the others also nodded.
This was the real emperor.
The emperor of chaos!
…
It was over.
The battle for the throne had finally come to an end.
The Saints were in groups of three to five. Many who hadn't seen each other for a long time greeted each other, and some left in groups. Lin Feng greeted Emperor Qian Lian, Jin Ji, Shi Zhixin, and the others. Then, he went to Emperor Shun's side and gathered with King Yan, King Lu, Huang Lu, and the others.
These people would be his "team" in the future.
After a simple introduction, Lin Feng quickly got to know everyone, including Palace Master Ju Yan.
"Lin Feng, you've been a Saint for a short time," Emperor Shun said with a smile. "As time passes, you'll slowly get to know all the Saints." Everyone smiled. After all, there were only about 200 Saints in the entire southern region. It wasn't hard to remember them.
"I will." Lin Feng nodded with a smile.
"Actually, this is better." King Yan said casually. "Do what you want. There's no need to think about complicated relationships."
"That's right." King Lu laughed. "What you said just now scared everyone."
Everyone laughed.
As they were talking, Lin Feng was slightly startled. The compass on his wrist rang, and his eyes lit up.
"You guys talk first," Lin Feng said softly, and then his figure flashed to the side. With a smile, he pressed the button. The number was very familiar and intimate. It was his mother, Jia Yazhu. Lin Feng said softly, "Mother?"
"Feng 'er." On the other end of the compass, Jia Yazhu's voice was soft and pleasant. "How have you been?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Lin Feng smiled. "Mother, have you gained anything?"
"How can I be so lucky?" Jia Yazhu smiled and suddenly paused. Her voice suddenly became serious. "Feng 'er, listen carefully. Mother has something very important to tell you."
"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyes burned, and his heart was in suspense.
If his mother said it was something very important, it was definitely not ordinary.
On the other end of the compass, a deep voice slowly sounded. "The demons are here."
