629 Limit of the Starfell Pearl

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

The eight Grand Emperors of the North River Divine Palace knelt respectfully in front of a huge statue in the hall of the Divine Palace.

This huge statue looked lifelike. As the voices of the eight people echoed in the hall, gradually, the statue shook slightly, and even the entire Divine Palace seemed to be shaking slightly.

Buzz.

Suddenly, the walls of the hall cracked open from both sides, revealing a huge secret chamber. A figure was sitting cross-legged in the secret chamber.

Swoosh.

The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was sharp and dignified. Even the eight Grand Emperors were intimidated. They did not dare to show the slightest disrespect, and all knelt on the ground.

The expression on their faces was not reverence. Rather, it was a kind of fear and trepidation. They appeared deeply afraid.

“Why did you call me?”

The North River Divine King’s tone was a little hostile. He was in seclusion, and was at a critical period. He was naturally a little displeased that someone had disturbed him.

Hearing the discontent in the North River Divine King’s tone, the eight Grand Emperors appeared even more apprehensive. They replied in a trembling voice, “Your Majesty, there’s something I have to ask Your Majesty for. The third Grand Emperor, North Mountain, has fallen.”

“Huh?”

The North River Divine King’s tone froze. His entire being turned frigid, instantly enveloping the eight of them.

“How did North Mountain fall?”

“He was killed by Lin Feng.”

“Lin Feng? The Grand Emperor of Annihilation, Lin Feng, who as a Venerable fought a Grand Emperor above his level?”

“That’s right. This Lin Feng is not simple. He’s no longer a Venerable, and has already metamorphosed into a Grand Emperor. Moreover, his combat body is over a thousand light-years long. People call him the Supreme Grand Emperor!”

“Supreme Grand Emperor?”

The North River Divine King stood up suddenly. His gaze swept across the eight of them.

“A Supreme Grand Emperor? How fascinating. A combat body of thousands of light-years is indeed unheard of. I wonder how wonderful it’d be if I devour him. Perhaps it will also be of some help to the perfection of my combat body. After all, it’s a Supreme Grand Emperor that has never appeared in billions of years!”

Hearing the North River Divine King’s words, the eight of them were overjoyed. They hurriedly said, “If Your Majesty personally takes action, a mere Lin Feng will definitely be defeated.”

“If it’s just Lin Feng alone, even if he’s the legendary Supreme Grand Emperor, there is nothing to worry about. However, there is the Divine Palace of Bemond and Divine King Bemond behind him. If Divine King Bemond insists on investigating, my plan over billions of years might be in vain.”

The North River Divine King glanced at the eight of them again, seemingly very displeased. “You eight Grand Emperors don’t even dare to deal with Lin Feng. What worthless trash. What’s the use of you?”

The eight of them trembled and hurriedly begged for mercy. They knew how terrifying the North River Divine King in front of them was. Originally, there were a total of 16 of them, but in the end, even including North Mountain, only nine were left.

The other eight people who were not killed in battle, but devoured by the North River Divine King—devoured alive!

Hence, how could these eight people not be afraid? How could they dare to ask the North River Divine King to act if it was not absolutely necessary?

“Your Majesty, actually, you do not have to worry about the Divine Palace of Bemond. You’ve been in seclusion and don’t know what happened in the Silent Galaxy recently. Some unknown upheaval has occurred in the Silent Galaxy, and many Silent Beasts charged out of it. These Silent Beasts are endless and inexhaustible. Even the Divine Palace of Bemond was almost destroyed. How can they still spare the attention for our North River Galaxy? Even if Lin Feng is dead, the Divine Palace of Bemond can’t afford to do anything about it.”

“Silent Beasts?”

The North River Divine King got someone to deliver the information. At the end, his brows relaxed.

Whatever changes occurred in the Silent Galaxy had nothing to do with him. In fact, the more chaotic the universe was, the more beneficial it was to him.

“A Supreme Grand Emperor is ultimately a hidden threat. I hope North Mountain didn’t slip up and reveal anything. Otherwise… I’ll devour all of you first!”

The eight of them were all trembling in fear and did not dare to speak.

“Where is Lin Feng now?”

“Your Majesty, Lin Feng is currently in the North River Galaxy, and he has been using a combat body of a thousand light-years. He seems to be constantly capturing planets. We don’t know what he’s trying to do.”

“Guard the Divine Palace. I’ll deal with this Supreme Grand Emperor myself!”

With that, the North River Divine King took a step forward and disappeared from the hall of the Divine Palace.

The eight Grand Emperors looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. In front of the North River Divine King, they were feeling more and more apprehensive. Even though they were all dignified Grand Emperors, they did not feel any sense of safety.

“His Majesty the Divine King can deal with Lin Feng, right?”

“He probably can. A Supreme Grand Emperor? How can such a mythical thing be taken seriously?”

“We cannot afford any accidents in the North River Galaxy. Otherwise, there will be no place for us in the vast universe.”

The eight of them also prayed silently. Even though the North River Divine King was domineering, they did not want him to fail.

…

Thirty billion, 50 billion, 80 billion, 100 billion…

Lin Feng’s massive combat body swept through the regions again and again. The area within a radius of thousands of light-years had long been swept clean by Lin Feng. Many territories were left behind, but they were all alone in the cosmos.

“Not enough, far from enough!”

Although there were already 100 billion planets in the Starfell Pearl, Lin Feng still felt that it was not enough, far from enough. Forget about 100 billion, even 1 trillion would not be too many for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had smelted countless materials into the Starfell Pearl. Lin Feng did not know the limit either. There were also spatial divine runes. More than a thousand spatial divine runes had expanded the space in the Starfell Pearl countless times.

Moreover, Lin Feng could continue to inscribe spatial divine runes. Hence, planets were the ones that restricted the power of the Starfell Pearl now. Lin Feng needed a large number of planets. Lin Feng would not find even enough planets to form a galaxy too many.

How many planets were there in the entire North River Galaxy? There were simply countless ordinary planets, and there were between 100 billion and 400 billion stars. Lin Feng continued to sweep. There were 100 billion planets in the Starfell Pearl, which was about ten times that of the previous 12.6 billion planets.

If its power was also increased by tenfold, it would only reach the level of 1,260 light-years.

Such a powerful Starfell Pearl was already rather terrifying. With a single smash, even a galaxy would shake. However, compared to Lin Feng’s combat body, especially with the enhancement of Laws, it was still far inferior, let alone comparable to a Divine King.

Lin Feng was not refining the Starfell Pearl in such a frenzy and capturing so many planets to deal with Grand Emperors. Against Grand Emperors, it would simply be overkill. Lin Feng’s combat body could already defeat all Grand Emperors.

The only purpose of refining the Starfell Pearl was to resist Divine Kings! Hence, the power of the Starfell Pearl was far from enough in the present.

Lin Feng continued to sweep. If thousands of light-years were not enough, he would sweep through tens of thousands of light-years.

One hundred billion, 200 billion, 300 billion, 400 billion…

The speed at which Lin Feng captured them was still very fast. The range of his sweep also became wider and wider. There were many planets in the North River Galaxy, which allowed Lin Feng to capture them very efficiently.

Five hundred billion, 600 billion, 700 billion, 800 billion…

When the number of planets in Lin Feng’s Starfell Pearl reached one trillion, there was not much space left in the Starfell Pearl.

However, it did not matter. Lin Feng continued to inscribe. During this period of time, he had comprehended many spatial divine runes. Hence, he continued to inscribe them on the Starfell Pearl. Every time he inscribed one, the space in the Starfell Pearl would expand violently.

This time, Lin Feng added another thousand or so spatial divine runes to the Starfell Pearl, reaching a total of 3,000!

The 3,000 spatial divine runes also greatly increased the space in the Starfell Pearl again.

Hence, Lin Feng continued to capture planets.

One trillion, one and a half trillion, two trillion, three trillion, four trillion…

Finally, by the time Lin Feng captured almost all the planets in the North River Galaxy, he suddenly realized that the materials of the Starfell Pearl had reached their limit and could no longer accommodate more planets.

Even Lin Feng probably did not know how many planets there were in the Starfell Pearl. Perhaps four trillion, perhaps five trillion. Lin Feng did not know. He only knew that he had swept through almost all the dead planets in the North River Galaxy.

As for the power of the Starfell Pearl, there might be hundreds of billions of stars inside. Its power was simply terrifying to the extreme. Lin Feng did not know how many light-years of combat body it was comparable to.

It was perhaps 50,000 light-years, or 60,000 light-years, or even stronger.

When the Starfell Pearl was upgraded to this level, even as its owner, Lin Feng did not know how powerful it was unless it was tested in actual combat.

“It’s about done.”

Lin Feng heaved a long sigh of relief. After so long and capturing planets in such a frenzy, he felt that it was about time. The power of the Starfell Pearl had already been increased to the limit. If it continued to strengthen, it would require more and more precious materials.

The spatial divine runes on the Starfell Pearl in Lin Feng’s hand constantly emitted a dazzling light. Lin Feng felt a sense of accomplishment deep down. This was different from the Void Sky Divine Palace.

Although the Void Sky Divine Palace was also a supreme treasure, it was ultimately the treasure of Divine Emperor Void Sky, not a treasure personally created by Lin Feng. This Starfell Pearl was a continuously developing Origin Weapon forged by Lin Feng from the beginning, when he was at his weakest and most basic.

All these years, Lin Feng had been thinking of ways to strengthen the Starfell Pearl, allowing this Origin Weapon to grow to its current state.

Lin Feng had invested more effort into the Starfell Pearl than he had into his son and daughter.

“One day, you will definitely be more dazzling than the Void Sky Divine Palace!”

Lin Feng was filled with confidence. The Starfell Pearl was a purely offensive Origin Weapon. If he continued to strengthen it in the future, Lin Feng believed that one day, the reputation of the Starfell Pearl would definitely resound throughout the entire universe, and it would become a true supreme treasure!

“Huh?”

Lin Feng was still familiarizing himself with the greatly improved Starfell Pearl. Its power was too strong. Even Lin Feng needed some time to adapt to it before he could control it perfectly.

Suddenly, Lin Feng looked up at the cosmos.

Not far from Lin Feng, circles of spatial ripples appeared in the cosmos. Someone was warping space.

In particular, the occasional traces of aura emitted from the spatial ripples made Lin Feng extremely vigilant. Perhaps the scene he was most worried about had finally happened.
