I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 664 664: Father, Can We Test How Strong This Fellow Is?

Beyond the Ice Abyss, the elderly dean had barely led the puzzled immortal crane when a demon clan Great Saint obstructed their way.

"Old Kong, what brings you here? This area doesn't belong to your Wendao Academy."

Dean Kong glanced at the Kunpeng Great Saint in front of him and grinned. "Ah Kun, drop the pretense. Everyone knows the immense terror from the ocean depths has stirred. I've come to offer aid."

???

The immortal crane cocked its head toward its master. A sudden idea crossed its thoughts: That's not what you claimed earlier. If it's a fight, why drag me along? Plus, I have zero interest in witnessing this dull spectacle!

Before the Kunpeng Great Saint could respond, an ancient voice echoed from behind. "Allow Old Kong to enter. With Wendao Academy's assistance, we might delay things a bit more."

"Hmph."

The Kunpeng Great Saint huffed coldly and averted his gaze without further comment.

Suddenly, Great Saints from various other holy lands emerged over the Ice Abyss. They shared looks and chorused, "Have you informed your ancestral grounds?"

"Yes, we've sent the messages. But it'll require time for a Divine King to reach us. We must endure until then," replied the Blood God Cult's elder ancestor.

The Holy Emperor of the Northern Abyss Holy Dynasty addressed the Kunpeng Great Saint, "Fellow Daoist, instruct the creatures of your Ice Abyss to evacuate briefly. My forces have withdrawn a hundred li already."

"Hmph!"

The Kunpeng Great Saint snorted once more. "At least you grasp the situation."

The Northern Abyss Holy Land's leader remained unperturbed. After years of conflict between the factions, deep resentment had built up. Even with the truce in place, the youth often sparked new brawls.

Before long, beings from the myriad races inside the Ice Abyss poured out toward the exterior.

At the same time, inside the Ice Abyss, the Divine King's presence intensified in dreadfulness. His divine domain kept spreading further abroad.

Chu Feng observed the occurrence and whispered to himself. "I never anticipated that this Divine King's divine core persists unextinguished. Now this clash gains real significance."

Back in the Hongyuan Continent, during his battles with the trio of ancestors, their divine cores hadn't fully formed. They possessed only fragments and could summon false domains. In contrast, the Divine King within the Ice Abyss had solidified his divine core ages ago. Even with his divine soul destroyed and no life force, the enduring divine core allowed potential revival from demise.

Bing Yan and Princess Miaoyu remarked, "Will you leave those two young girls to keep trembling in terror?"

Chu Feng chuckled. "Fine, I'll fetch them right away. Let's observe the response from that entity in the Ice Abyss."

As soon as he spoke, Chu Feng gestured with his hand. The pair of little girls sprinting desperately sensed a sudden breeze. Moments later, their environment shifted entirely.

Spotting their father and mothers all gathered, the two little girls cried out happily.

"Daddy, you've returned!"

With that, the two little girls lunged into Chu Feng's arms and started chattering.

"Daddy, you vanished for decades. We missed you terribly!"

"Yes, Daddy, you left without us. Life on the Tianxuan Continent felt so dull."

Hearing the complaints from his two little girls, Chu Feng's lips lifted in a smile. His expression brimmed with affection as he replied, "Okay, Daddy's here now. Henceforth, Daddy will stay by your sides always."

"Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, the two little girls leaped with delight in the air.

"Absolutely true. When has your father ever deceived you two?"

Chu Feng stated with an indulgent look, resembling a classic doting father perfectly.

"No fibbing permitted."

Chu Yuzhi stuck out her tiny pinky, eager for a pinky promise with her dad.

Chu Feng stretched out his thumb and sealed the pinky swear with Chu Yuzhi. Watching his older daughter beam widely, his spirits lifted considerably.

Bing Yan and Princess Miaoyu rolled their eyes at Chu Feng upon witnessing this. Indeed, daughters served as fathers' sweethearts from past lives.

Chu Yingjin nearby added, "Oops, Big Wolf and Little Snow remain waiting below for us."

At that, Chu Yuzhi urgently told her father, "Dad, our sled beasts are still down there. It'd be awful if that frightening creature devoured them."

In response, Chu Feng flicked his wrist. The sled along with the two demon kings materialized in the skies. A chill wind swept by, and the Wolf Demon King and Snowman King awoke. Realizing their safety, they exhaled deeply in relief.

However, the two demon kings soon recalled a grave issue. They lingered at the edge of the Ice Abyss forbidden area. Escape was imperative.

"What's with you two? My dad rescued you, yet no thanks?"

Chu Yuzhi planted her hands on her waist and scowled at the ungrateful pair. Many longed to glimpse her father but lacked the chance. These two got to haul the cart for him and squandered it.

Only then did the two Great Demon Kings notice the two men and two women near the two maidens. They promptly bowed. "Salutations, maidens. This spot demands haste. We'll transport you out at once."

"Leaving now might prove too tardy."

Before Chu Feng finished speaking, a primeval and timeless bellow erupted from the Ice Abyss's depths.

"Who dares!!!"

That cry thundered across the skies and quaked the Ice Abyss.

The eternal glaciers of the Ice Abyss shattered abruptly and tumbled into the depths.

From this single roar alone, every mighty figure across the Tianxuan Continent shuddered.

Even the assembly of Saints hovering above the Ice Abyss sensed their souls quiver. Dean Kong fondled his beard and commented, "I hadn't foreseen the Divine Corpse preserving some lingering awareness. This confrontation promises excitement."

Noting his amused demeanor, the Kunpeng Great Saint seethed with fury and snapped, "Fine Old Kong, at such a moment, you jest? As though the catastrophe spares your Wendao Academy."

Dean Kong beamed. "Relax. This one won't cause major turmoil. Unless my vision fails, the Wendao Academy's Divine King has reached us. Soon, we may simply spectate a clash of Divine Kings without intervening."

These remarks made the Kunpeng Great Saint's complexion shift from green to purple, an amusing sight. He bowed his head and murmured, "Brother Kong, my words were rash earlier. Forgive me."

"It's nothing. I understand your concern for the Ice Abyss's hundred races. We'll observe developments."

Dean Kong replied cheerfully, appearing utterly unconcerned.

The Saints of other holy lands displayed puzzled looks. They pondered why Wendao Academy's Divine King arrived swiftly. Was this tied to Wendao Academy?

Yet Divine Kings rarely manifested on the Tianxuan Continent. This stemmed from a pact among the chief holy lands.

Should Wendao Academy breach it, the consequences for the Tianxuan Continent would prove dire.

Elsewhere, at the portal to the profound Ice Abyss ocean, the roar terrified the two Great Demon Kings into almost plummeting. One shrank to a tiny white wolf pup. The other became a child-sized snowman.

This silly sight drew hearty laughter from the two Chu sisters.

Naturally, the deepest rage boiled in the deep sea's Divine Corpse. It had deployed its divine domain to seize those two divine offspring. Yet prior to action, the targets vanished tracelessly. No teleportation ripples, no treasure activations.

Just one explanation: Another covetous plotter had stolen away those two divine heirs.

As a Divine King, enduring such theft of quarry right before it was intolerable.

Therefore, it unleashed its full divine might. Instantly, the former inky-black Ice Abyss bathed in radiant divinity.

Darkness fled, daylight broke.

All creatures gaped at the spectacle. Innumerable minds raced with the same notion: Such was the transcendent, awe-inspiring might of a Divine King?

Witnessing this, Chu Yuzhi instinctively exclaimed, "Dad, may I probe the sea monster's power?"

"No way."

Bing Yan dismissed it firmly. Without Chu Feng's protective aura now, they couldn't converse here unscathed.

Chu Yuzhi's face fell into a pout at the refusal. Chu Feng patted her head soothingly and said, "You mustn't engage directly, yet you may employ the sword jade. Let it taste your prowess. Lest it assume our fear."

"For real?"

Chu Yuzhi's eyes sparkled instantly. Beside her, Chu Yingjin chimed in, "Dad, let me join the test too."

"Very well, both of you go ahead."

Chu Feng consented without delay.

The Wolf Demon King and Snowman King yearned to protest, but a stern glance from Shi Xuan silenced them grudgingly.

With Chu Feng's permission, the two little girls channeled spiritual power into their sword jades promptly.

The instant after, the sword jades shot forth two beams of light.

Two towering dharma forms, each dozens of zhang high, materialized overhead. In unison, they slashed a sword toward the abyssal Ice sea.

Clang!

A sharp sword keening rang out as two streaks of sword light plunged into the depths.

Those blades glowed with endless brilliance. Sword qi wove intricately across the heavens and earth.

As the swords landed, every entity within the Ice Abyss fixed eyes upon them.

The onlooking Saints wore doubtful faces upon spotting those swords. All eyes shifted to Dean Kong. Though silent, their stares plainly questioned: You claimed the Divine King would descend in person? Why then do Saint-tier sword qi manifest?

Dean Kong paused in surprise, inwardly musing: Little Feng, what's your game? Toying with a Divine King?
