Cards on the table: I'm a big shot from the Upper World, and you're the gu I've been raising!
Above the ruins of the imperial city, the smoke and dust have not completely dispersed.
The broken palace, the charred land, and the huge demon statue that was split into two silently told the tragedy of the battle just now.
The breaths of Emperor Xia and Wei Zheng have completely disappeared, and they ended this catastrophe with their lives.
Lin Feng stood quietly in the center of the ruins, holding Killing Blade in his hand, his eyes locked on the only figure still standing not far away.
Zhang Cheng.
In other words, it is the incarnation of Zhang Cheng's kindness who has always been gentle, kind, and even a little cowardly.
At this moment, Zhang Cheng's face no longer had the warmth of the past. Instead, there was an indescribable complexity that seemed to be both relief and sadness.
"Aren't you going to do it?"
Lin Feng's voice is very plain, and there is no hint of emotion or anger.
The energy and blood in his body are still boiling, Martial Apex Realm Sixth Level's power is surging, and he can slash out a sword that will destroy the world at any time.
However, Zhang Cheng shook his head.
"There's no point."
"The death of Emperor Xia and Wei Zheng has completely awakened me. In other words, it has made my kind thoughts completely independent."
Lin Feng frowned slightly, did not answer, and waited for the next sentence.
"Lin Feng, have you always been curious about why I in Demon Suppression Tower want to pass on my lifelong skills to you?"
Zhang Cheng spoke slowly, throwing out a question that Lin Feng had been harboring for a long time.
"Do you think I am a kind person who sacrifices himself for others?"
"Do you think that the inheritance of Demon Suppression Division is that simple?"
Zhang Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly, "You are wrong, very wrong."
He raised his head, his gaze seemed to penetrate through the layers of smoke and clouds, looking at the sky that was torn by the demonic energy and had not yet completely healed.
"I, or my identity, do not belong to this world at all."
Boom!
This sentence, like a thunder, exploded in Lin Feng's mind.
"My body comes from Upper World."
Zhang Cheng's tone is calm, but every word is heart-breaking.
"A long time ago, my body was chased by a life-or-death enemy at Upper World, and was seriously injured. In desperation, he burned all his cultivation and forcibly struck out with a shocking sword."
"That sword cut off the Heavenly Gate that connects this world with Upper World."
Lin Feng's pupils shrank suddenly.
Heavenly Gate!
No wonder that for thousands of years, countless Martial Apex Realm Peak strong men have tried to break the void and ascend Upper World, but in the end there was no news.
It turns out that Heavenly Gate... was sealed by Zhang Cheng's body with a sword!
"He blocked Heavenly Gate in order to turn this world into an absolutely safe cage, a turtle shell where he can rest in peace and hide from his enemies."
"And he himself fell into the deepest suspended animation, hiding in the deepest part of Demon Suppression Tower."
Lin Feng said coldly, "What does this have to do with you passing on the skills to me?"
"Of course it does."
Zhang Cheng's eyes turned back to Lin Feng, with a trace of pity in his eyes.
"Do you think he slept in vain? No, he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity."
"His Dao foundation has been destroyed and his physical body is close to collapse. He wants to return to Upper World for revenge. It would take tens of thousands of years to recover by himself. Therefore, he needs a new, perfect body that has practiced his fundamental skills."
"A... perfect cauldron."
Zhang Cheng pointed at Lin Feng and said word by word, "You, Lin Feng, are the most perfect furnace cauldron he has chosen."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed instantly.
It's pretty much what he guessed.
"Cauldron?"
"Yes."
Zhang Cheng nodded, "He turned his remaining power into inheritance and hid it in Demon Suppression Tower. He needs someone, a person with extreme talent and determination, to inherit this power."
"He needs this person to help him practice again and push his skills to the extreme in this world."
"Then..."
Zhang Cheng's voice became bitter. "The moment you practice to Martial Apex Realm Ninth Level Peak, when your body and soul reach the limit of endurance in this world, that's when he wakes up."
"At that time, he will abandon that broken old body without hesitation and use his powerful soul from Upper World to take everything from you."
"Your body, your cultivation, your skills, everything you have worked so hard to cultivate will become his wedding dress."
"He will occupy your body, reopen Heavenly Gate with perfect posture, and kill Upper World."
This is the truth.
A chilling truth.
There is no selfless inheritance without predecessors who sacrifice themselves for others.
From beginning to end, Lin Feng is just a Gu in captivity, a Gu that is carefully raised just waiting to be eaten at the end!
The strongest men in this world throughout the ages may have all been experimental subjects, but Lin Feng is the most successful one among them.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
The incarnation of Zhang Cheng's kindness looked at Lin Feng quietly, expecting to see fear, anger, and even despair.
However, he saw nothing.
Lin Feng was silent at first, and then slowly, slowly, he showed a strange smile.
That smile contains three parts sarcasm, three parts disdain, and four parts...
Mercy?
"Take away my body?"
Lin Feng seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and he even laughed out loud.
"Old Zhang, did you make something wrong?"
Lin Feng gently wiped the blood on the blade, and the blade buzzed, as if it was eager for a new battle.
[Host: Lin Feng]
[Realm: Martial Apex Realm Sixth Level]

[Crit Multiplier:25200 times]
[Crit Points:11.98 billion]
More than 25,000 times Crit Multiplier!
What does this mean?
This means that every casual blow of Lin Feng contains the full blow of more than 20,000 strong Martial Apex Realm Sixth Level Peak!
This power has exceeded the cognitive scope of this world.
"Old Zhang, your kind thoughts are more aware of current affairs than your body."
The knife of Lin Feng points to Zhang Cheng in the distance.
"You want to use me as a cauldron?"
"You want to take away my body?"
Lin Feng's smile turned cold completely, and an invisible terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from him!
"Heh."
"How worthy is he?"
