The 13 Venerables flew in front of Grand Emperor Scorpius At this moment, Grand Emperor Scorpius had already returned to the size of a normal person. He stood quietly in the cosmos, his expression a little aloof.

“Grand Emperor, is that person already dead?”

The 13 Venerables asked cautiously. Moreover, only the two top-notch Venerables dared to ask. The other Venerables stood silently at the side.

“Dead?”

Grand Emperor Scorpius laughed coldly. His gaze turned abyssal as the cosmos as he said in a low voice, “How can he be dead? If I’m not wrong, he has already warped space and left.”

“Warp space? He’s a Grand Emperor who has comprehended the Law of Space?”

The Venerables were shocked. A Grand Emperor who had comprehended the Law of Space was extraordinary. It seemed that a Grand Emperor who had comprehended the Law of Space was unheard of in the entire North River Galaxy.

“Who said that he’s a Grand Emperor?”

Grand Emperor Scorpius’s words shocked everyone. If he wasn’t the Emperor, could he be a Venerable?

“He’s not a Grand Emperor, nor is he a Venerable. He’s just an elementary planetary lifeform!”

“What? That’s impossible. There’s no way he can be an elementary planetary lifeform.”

The Venerables were aghast. They could not believe their ears. They had really heard Grand Emperor Scorpius what had said. The other party was not even a Venerable, and was only an elementary planetary lifeform.

However, could an elementary planetary lifeform contend with a Grand Emperor? Could he send the 13 Venerables flying with a single strike?

Even though Grand Emperor Scorpius was the one who said it, they still could not quite believe it.

Seeing that those Venerables did not seem to quite believe it, Grand Emperor Scorpius snorted coldly. “Hmph, ignorant. There are plenty of geniuses who have comprehended Laws in the vast universe. If I’m not wrong, this person is a top genius who has comprehended planetary Laws, and advanced planetary Laws at that. This kind of individuals cannot be evaluated by common standards. Moreover, he has comprehended the Law of Space. That means he has comprehended at least two Laws. It’s unbelievable.”

Even Grand Emperor Scorpius could not help but give praise and exclaim. Lin Feng had indeed shaken him. He had comprehended two Laws to an advanced level. Such aptitude was simply unheard of.

The other 13 Venerables also had thoughtful expressions. Comprehending two types of advanced planetary Laws was too shocking.

“Your Majesty, this person has such obvious characteristics. Why don’t we search the North River Galaxy? We’ll definitely be able to find him!”

Someone immediately made the suggestion to Grand Emperor Scorpius, but Grand Emperor Scorpius’s face darkened. “So what if you find him? Can you kill him? Moreover, he changed his appearance and hid his name in the first place because he didn’t want anyone to know his true identity. We didn’t lose anything. It was just a spar. Such a genius is destined to shine in the future. Perhaps he’ll go even further than I. Making such a great enemy over no reason is unwise!”

Grand Emperor Scorpius saw things very clearly. He would not pursue this matter, because it was meaningless. It would only offend this cultivator with terrifying aptitude instead.

They would pretend that this matter had never happened. In any case, the Scorpius Domain did not suffer any losses. The other party seemed to be wary as well, and did not attack to kill. Grand Emperor Scorpius also gave strict orders for everyone to stop investigating this matter.

The accident in Scorpius Domain passed just like that. There were only occasional rumors that a mysterious cultivator challenge Grand Emperor Scorpius, but failed.

As for whether they were dead or had escaped, no one could say for sure.

…

Swoosh.

Lin Feng emerged from the spatial passage.

His face was still a little pale. He still had a lingering fear when he thought of Grand Emperor Scorpius’s terrifying palm strike just now.

It was too powerful, even beyond his expectations. As worthy of a Grand Emperor, he could dominate an expanse of the cosmos and even seal space. If Lin Feng had not comprehended the advanced Law of Space, it would not have been so easy for him to escape successfully today.

“Normally, if a Divine King does not come into being, a Grand Emperor would be the strongest in the cosmos! No wonder a Grand Emperor can dominate the cosmos without any match. The difference is just too great. It feels like two completely different levels of life.”

Lin Feng already vaguely understood. The Grand Emperor was a whole new level of life sublimation. The eighth life transition was also a hurdle. In the North River Galaxy, the Venerables were many. Be they ordinary or top-notch Venerables, there were ultimately many of them.

However, there were very few Grand Emperors. This was because Grand Emperors were simply too powerful. They were so powerful that no matter how many Venerables attacked together at once, it was useless before them.

Every Grand Emperor could use a combat body of at least a light-year. How terrifying was that?

Even if Lin Feng became a Venerable, and had the enhancements of advanced planetary Laws, he probably would not be able to contend with a Grand Emperor.

This was a Grand Emperor who dominated the universe and suppressed the cosmos. Everyone below a Grand Emperor was insignificant!

No wonder even someone as proud as Venerable Vigil did not have the confidence to become a Grand Emperor, and was so cautious when mentioning Grand Emperors. It turned out that Grand Emperors really were far more terrifying than Lin Feng had imagined.

However, his battle with Grand Emperor Scorpius was not completely fruitless. At the very least, Lin Feng had found his own position now. His current strength should be between a Venerable and a Grand Emperor.

He could defeat almost all Venerables below the Grand Emperors. Of course, the prerequisite was that the other party had not comprehended planetary Laws.

Such strength had already far exceeded that when Lin Feng left the Divine Palace of Bemond. Even if he participated in the Big Bang, he would no longer be “cannon fodder”. He would at least be of some use now.

“It’s time to return to the Divine Palace of Bemond. Raymond must already be getting anxious.”

Lin Feng turned around and looked in the direction of his home planet again. Then, he stepped into the spatial passage and teleported directly back to the Divine Palace of Bemond.

…

“The Divine Palace of Bemond. I’ve finally returned!”

Lin Feng looked at Planet Bemond in front of him and suddenly felt a little emotional. It had been almost 90 years since he left the Divine Palace of Bemond. There were only 10 years left until the Big Bang.

Ninety years might not be worth mentioning to others, but to Lin Feng, when he came to the Divine Palace of Bemond back then, he was not even 50 years old.

Ninety years had passed at once. Naturally, there was a feeling of vicissitudes.

Moreover, back when he had not left the Divine Palace of Bemond, the Divine Palace hadn’t felt so important. However, after leaving the Divine Palace, Lin Feng realized that he still missed the Divine Palace a little.

In Lin Feng’s heart, the Divine Palace of Bemond was already the second place he missed, besides his home planet. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it was his second home. He already had a true sense of belonging to the Divine Palace of Bemond.

When Lin Feng arrived at the Divine Palace, he realized that there were people queuing up to enter the lower district again. This time, no one offended Lin Feng, because the cultivators guarding the door had long approached to welcome him.

“Your Highness Lin Feng, welcome back!”

Lin Feng nodded and left under everyone’s envious gazes.
