532: Unprecedented, killing one's own kind? (66k, monthly ticket subscription required)

Especially the White Fatty Old Man.

At this moment, he even found it hard to believe that Lin Yang was still his precious disciple.

His strength was so immense it made him feel like he was looking at a stranger!

Silence!

The entire Extraterritorial Battlefield fell silent for a moment as Lin Yang injured Yan Jiunie.

After all, when Lin Yang injured Yan Jiunie, Yan Jiunie had already broken through to the third level of the Old Ancestor Realm.

This meant that Lin Yang's true power wasn't just capable of slightly suppressing a second-level Old Ancestor, but could actually injure a third-level Old Ancestor!

Moreover, it was a third-level Old Ancestor in a state of burning spiritual power!

Although Yan Jiunie had not fully guarded against Lin Yang after breaking through and starting to burn his spiritual power, Lin Yang's ability to directly injure Yan Jiunie in such a state was sufficient to prove that his strength could contend with a third-level Old Ancestor.

This left everyone momentarily speechless.

When Lin Yang first displayed the power to fight a second-level Old Ancestor, people already saw his terrifying future.

The Foreign race Old Ancestors watching from afar were just thinking that Lin Yang would need a few more years to deal with a third-level Old Ancestor.

But they never expected that in the blink of an eye, Lin Yang could injure a third-level Old Ancestor who was burning his spiritual power.

At this instant, everyone was silent, and then more silent.

To be able to fight a third-level Old Ancestor in just over a century.

Then the time for Lin Yang to dominate this era would likely come even faster and sooner than any of them had imagined!

This made people silent.

Only silence.

Lin Yang's strike was like a massive boulder or mountain, pressing down on all the Old Ancestors, making their chests feel tight at this moment.

Injuring a third-level Old Ancestor Realm expert while in the Ling Tong Realm.

This was the first time in history.

"We... have witnessed new history, and we are about to witness the birth of an invincible powerhouse who will dominate an era."

Another Old Ancestor powerhouse sighed softly.

Lin Yang's strike had made it clear to all Old Ancestors that no one could stop his rise anymore.

To be so courageous despite being an entire major realm apart.

It was foreseeable that Lin Yang wouldn't even need to advance to the third level of the Old Ancestor Realm; perhaps just breaking through to the Old Ancestor Realm would be enough for him to usher in his era of dominance.

Because after breaking through to Old Ancestor, the progression from the first level to the second level itself wasn't too difficult.

Moreover, Lin Yang's advancement speed was so monstrously abnormal.

As long as he breaks through to Old Ancestor, he will definitely reach the second level of Old Ancestor in the shortest possible time.

By then, it's estimated that even Old Ancestors at the third-level peak wouldn't be his match.

Once Lin Yang breaks through to Old Ancestor, he will be the invincible powerhouse of this era.

This was suffocating.

Because Lin Yang's invincibility at that time would be truly absolute invincibility.

Now, with an entire major realm difference, hardly any Old Ancestor was his match.

What more when they are in the same realm?

"I truly feel despair and sorrow for all the prodigies and newly promoted Old Ancestors born within the next ten thousand years; encountering such a monster and being in the same era as him, I truly don't know if it's their fortune or misfortune..."

Another Old Ancestor powerhouse sighed.

Lin Yang's strength was unprecedented.

In the long river of history of the Ten Thousand Universes, any recorded genius paled in comparison to Lin Yang at this moment.

And it was also foreseeable that it would be almost impossible for any future person to reach this level again.

To be almost invincible in just over a century.

To break this record again would be too difficult!

It was almost impossible.

Northern Branch Rock and the others felt their fighting spirit somewhat scattered by this strike at this instant.

Lin Yang's speed of getting stronger was truly terrifying!

Now, apart from Fang Jibai personally making a move against Lin Yang, it was unlikely that any other Old Ancestor would have 100% confidence in killing Lin Yang.

Including Northern Branch Rock himself, whose confidence wavered.

He even felt that even if he rushed over now, he might not be able to kill Lin Yang.

Unless another third-level peak Old Ancestor could join today, or if several of them teamed up.

Otherwise, no one could kill Lin Yang anymore.

Northern Branch Rock's eyes flickered with a faint, eerie light.

He could temporarily disengage from the entanglement with Meng Yuwan and Hua Qianyu.

Now, he had two choices.

First, abandon saving Huo Cheng and Nie Cungang.

Instead, team up with Yan Jiunie to kill Lin Yang with lightning speed.

Second, just flee for his life.

Yan Jiunie was clearly no longer able to shake off Lin Yang's entanglement to join him in saving Nie Cungang and Huo Cheng.

If he went alone, at most he could save one person, and even then, it wasn't certain he could save them.

If he couldn't save them and was delayed, allowing Nie Cungang and Huo Cheng to be killed, freeing up either Ziyun or Kong Shan Yu, then he might not even have a chance to escape.

Ziyun and Kong Shan Yu were both too strong; if either of them broke free, and then teamed up with any Old Ancestor on Lin Yang's side to deal with that Old Ancestor's current opponent, they could easily slaughter them.

If either of them disengaged from their current battle, they could quickly kill off their remaining companions one by one.

Therefore, Northern Branch Rock hesitated.

Because he had no confidence in saving anyone, nor did he have confidence in teaming up with Yan Jiunie to kill Lin Yang.

Lin Yang's performance made him suspect that Lin Yang might still be hiding some reserves of strength.

And he had to make a choice immediately.

Otherwise, he would be entangled by Meng Yuwan and Hua Qianyu again, and in that case, he wouldn't even dream of leaving alive today.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

Northern Branch Rock had never been so enraged.

He had never imagined that he would one day be forced into such a predicament.

A majestic third-level Old Ancestor, with seven faction Old Ancestor teammates who advanced and retreated together.

He had never suffered such humiliation throughout the Ten Thousand Universes!

Both choices felt deeply humiliating to him.

He stared at Lin Yang, the murderous intent in his heart making him desperately want to immediately go and team up with Yan Jiunie to kill Lin Yang.

But in the end, Northern Branch Rock still chose to flee for his life.

Yes, flee for his life.

If Lin Yang truly had something hidden, if he went over now and was delayed even slightly, he would fall into a dangerous situation again.

He couldn't take that risk.

And the words "flee for his life" were practically non-existent for Northern Branch Rock.

It had always been others who fled from them.

He had never imagined that he himself would one day be reduced to fleeing for his life.

Northern Branch Rock was furious, and like Yan Jiunie before him, he felt immense humiliation.

However, the desire to live and the fear of death still made him choose to flee after hesitating for two and a half seconds.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Northern Branch Rock stepped into the void, heading towards the Time-Space Turbulence Zone.

Now, his only escape route was into the Endless Spacetime.

At the same time, Northern Branch Rock's furious roar came just a second before he entered the Endless Spacetime:

"Lin Yang, this Old Ancestor will definitely return to kill you, definitely!!"

He was unwilling.

Yet he could only disappear into the Endless Spacetime with endless rage.

After today, there would be no place for his faction of Old Ancestors in the Ten Thousand Universes.

No matter how unwilling, Northern Branch Rock knew in his heart that entering the Endless Spacetime was the only way to survive now.

"This Ancestor will definitely break through beyond Old Ancestor in the Endless Spacetime, and then kill you!"

Northern Branch Rock's unwilling voice echoed across the heavens:

"Lin Yang, you little bastard, even if I can't return to the Ten Thousand Universes after entering the Endless Spacetime, this Old Ancestor will enter before you and reach beyond Old Ancestor; the day you step into the Endless Spacetime will be the day this Old Ancestor slaughters you!"

"The longer you stay in the Ten Thousand Universes, the greater the gap between you and this Old Ancestor will become!"

"Hahahaha, Lin Yang, you little bastard, this Old Ancestor awaits you in the Endless Spacetime!!"

Before Northern Branch Rock's figure was completely swallowed by the Endless Spacetime, he seemed to realize that he could hardly return to the Ten Thousand Universes, and he roared a few more times, finally falling silent.

And these words made the White Fatty Old Man and Song Qingfeng's expressions subtly change.

Then, Song Qingfeng said gravely:

"That old ghost Northern Branch Rock is truly decisive and disgusting; he deliberately said those words to prevent Lin Yang from staying peacefully in the Ten Thousand Universes, wanting to provoke him into entering the Endless Spacetime sooner."

The White Fatty Old Man nodded.

Northern Branch Rock's words, though disgusting, were also true.

Within the universe, one could only reach the third level of the Old Ancestor Realm, at most the peak.

He had been at the third level for a long time; now that he entered the Endless Spacetime, he might quickly break through beyond Old Ancestor.

And if Lin Yang wanted to kill him quickly, he would also have to enter the Endless Spacetime.

But lacking so many years of accumulation, entering the Endless Spacetime too early would be a huge disadvantage.

However, if he didn't enter, it was indeed possible, as Northern Branch Rock said, that the longer he stayed in the Ten Thousand Universes, not just Lin Yang, but everyone would see the gap between them and him grow larger and larger.

After all, there was an upper limit to improvement within the universe, and the special resources in the Time-Space Turbulence Zone were scarce.

Northern Branch Rock, however, could break through the upper limit and continue to improve in the Endless Spacetime.

If Lin Yang stayed in the Ten Thousand Universes for too long before entering the Endless Spacetime, there was indeed a high probability that he would be left far behind by Northern Branch Rock again.

Beyond Old Ancestor was another level of existence.

Killing a peak Old Ancestor Realm expert would be effortless.

If Lin Yang were to encounter Northern Branch Rock, who was beyond Old Ancestor, right after entering the Endless Spacetime in the future, he could indeed fall into crisis again.

Northern Branch Rock's words were somewhat of a provocation, and his intentions were malicious.

No matter when Lin Yang entered, he would be affected by these words.

"But there's no need to worry too much; the Endless Spacetime is so dangerous, perhaps that old ghost Northern Branch Rock will die as soon as he enters, or perhaps there are countless time-space regions inside, and it's not that easy to encounter him."

Song Qingfeng added.

The Ten Thousand Universes had only lost contact with their predecessors in the Endless Spacetime for three eras, so they still had a good understanding of the situation inside, knowing how extremely dangerous it was.

Not every Old Ancestor who entered could successfully break through beyond Old Ancestor.

If unlucky, upon entering and being randomly teleported to a dangerous area, they might not survive for a few minutes, dying in the mouths of some Dark Creatures.

This was also the main reason why many Old Ancestors preferred to slowly grind within the universe rather than easily enter the Endless Spacetime.

"I hope my precious disciple won't be affected by his words."

The White Fatty Old Man sighed, deciding that after the great battle, he would have a good talk with Lin Yang.

He would tell him not to think about going in to hunt down Northern Branch Rock.

The Endless Spacetime was still too dangerous!

...As Northern Branch Rock fled into the Endless Spacetime, the situation on the Extraterritorial Battlefield once again saw a major reversal.

Meng Yuwan and Hua Qianyu, while still burning their spiritual power, first teamed up with Ziyun, combining their strength to swiftly eliminate Nie Cungang with lightning speed, and then rushed to Kong Shan Yu's side to kill Huo Cheng.

At this point, of Northern Branch Rock's eight Old Ancestors, two were dead and one had fled.

After assisting Ziyun and Kong Shan Yu, Meng Yuwan and Hua Qianyu also stopped burning their spiritual power and retreated from the battlefield to heal their injuries.

With Kong Shan Yu and Ziyun freed up, the advantage expanded exponentially once more.

The two of them together were enough to kill any remaining Old Ancestor from Northern Branch Rock's faction, except for Fang Jibai.

The two then moved to Lin Yang's side, preparing to eliminate Yan Jiunie first.

Although Lin Yang could injure Yan Jiunie, he was still some distance from killing him.

Therefore, the two directly rushed over to help.

There was no rush for the others; the two of them first needed to ensure that Yan Jiunie, when cornered, couldn't harm Lin Yang.

Watching this sudden turn of events, the Old Ancestors of the Mingye Clan who had arrived all felt despair at this moment.

The situation changed too quickly.

This made these few Mingye Clan Old Ancestors quickly make a decision. Taking advantage of Kong Shan Yu and Ziyun not yet reaching them, they decisively burned their spiritual power to escape the entanglement of Mirror Nine Underworlds and the others.

They all knew this was their last chance to escape.

If they didn't decisively burn their spiritual power now, once Kong Shan Yu and Ziyun killed Yan Jiunie on Lin Yang's side, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.

Mirror Nine Underworlds and the other five Foreign race Old Ancestors were merely reinforcements, responsible for holding back the Mingye Clan's Old Ancestors.

Seeing the Mingye Clan's Old Ancestors burn their spiritual power to flee, they didn't try too hard to stop them.

Lin Yang and the others saw this, but didn't say much.

After all, they were only there to help; merely holding back a few Mingye Clan Old Ancestors was already a great help. It was naturally impossible to expect them to also burn their spiritual power and fight the Mingye Clan's Old Ancestors to the death.

The Mingye Clan's Old Ancestors were clearly aware of this, which was why they so decisively burned their spiritual power and left.

They also knew that Mirror Nine Underworlds and the other five wouldn't burn their spiritual power to stop them.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, those guy who fled are from the Mingye Clan. You intended to personally annihilate their clan back in the Ten Thousand Realms Universe, so it doesn't matter if they escape now. Once Your Excellency Lin Yang breaks through to the Old Ancestor level, you can kill them yourself."

Ziyun and Kong Shan Yu also noticed the situation with the Mingye Clan's Old Ancestors, and neither of them took it to heart.

They both knew that Lin Yang had a special grudge with the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan, and intended to personally eradicate both clans.

Therefore, they didn't go to kill these Mingye Clan Old Ancestors first. Instead, they went to Lin Yang's side, preparing to kill Yan Jiunie first, to prevent this guy from acting desperately and self-destructing, potentially harming Lin Yang.

Lin Yang nodded: "If they ran, they ran. I'll just go kill them myself later."

He had the same thought.

He had gained a lot from this battle and had a premonition that he would soon break through to the Old Ancestor Realm.

"Then, this guy, let Old Kong and me handle him," Ziyun said again.

As he spoke, the lightning pool behind him crashed towards Yan Jiunie.

Yan Jiunie's heart instantly turned to ashes.

Whether he faced Ziyun or Kong Shan Yu, in a one-on-one situation, he would only be killed.

What's more, now it was two of them working together to kill him, which made him instantly reveal a look of despair.

However, just as Ziyun and Kong Shan Yu were about to deliver the killing blow to Yan Jiunie,

Suddenly, two Old Ancestors of the third level simultaneously descended onto the battlefield, appearing beside Yan Jiunie and blocking the combined attack of Ziyun and Kong Shan Yu for him.

Yan Jiunie was instantly stunned, then looked at the two Old Ancestor level existences who had suddenly arrived, a look of astonishment on his face.

He seemed to have completely not expected these two to suddenly intervene and save him at such a critical moment.

The two third-level Old Ancestors simultaneously looked at Lin Yang, and the one on the left spoke: "Your Excellency Lin Yang, please show mercy and give them a chance to correct their ways."

"Hm? Who are you two?"

This sudden scene made Lin Yang pause for a moment, but then he immediately continued: "Are you Old Ancestors from the Neutral Faction?"

Both of them were Human Race Old Ancestors.

Besides being from the Neutral Faction, there couldn't be any other possibility.

Both nodded: "Yes."

Lin Yang's eyes flashed: "Your Excellencies, arriving so suddenly and asking me to spare them, what is the meaning of this?"

He had no dealings with either the ordinary members or the Old Ancestors of the Neutral Faction.

But now these two suddenly appeared, wanting him to show mercy, which Lin Yang found very baffling.

"Ahem, Your Excellency Lin Yang, you have already killed two Old Ancestors and forced Northern Branch Rock into the Endless Spacetime. Your anger should have subsided somewhat. We are currently still at war with the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan, so let's keep them to atone for their sins."

It was still the Old Ancestor on the left who slowly spoke.

These words made Lin Yang's eyes instantly narrow, then turn cold, as he looked at these two guy and began to laugh:

"You two are truly interesting. When I was being hunted down, why didn't I see you come out and tell them to stop?"

"Also, when the Mingye Clan Old Ancestors arrived just now, why didn't you step forward and tell them to stop?"

After speaking, Lin Yang looked at these two old guy with deep eyes. The moment they were about to speak, he interrupted them, preempting them:

"You two, if Director Song hadn't called for outside help just now, I'm afraid we would have been suppressed by Northern Branch Rock and the others again."

"You didn't come out early or late, but you choose this moment to come out and persuade us to cease fire. Don't you find this ridiculous?"

"We..." The two exchanged glances, wanting to explain again.

But Lin Yang still didn't give them a chance to speak, instead saying coldly:

"Don't give me that nonsense about still being at war with the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan, needing them to support us!"

"If you can appear so perfectly at this moment, then you must have been following the battle situation here the entire time. In that case, you should know that I and my Old Ancestor friends, plus Director Song's Old Ancestors, have enough strength to deal with the Old Ancestors of the Mingye Clan and the Lingyou Clan!"

Lin Yang's tone gradually grew colder. He pointed at Yan Jiunie and the others one by one, saying: "These few are expendable!"

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, in times like these, it's better to have more people and more helpers... Besides, we are all of the Human Race, there's no need to kill them all. When the future comes..."

The two immediately frowned, again attempting to persuade Lin Yang to stop.

"Hahaha, you two, I said you were funny, and you really are funny. In your eyes, they are helpers, so does that mean Director Song and I are not helpers?"

Lin Yang was directly amused by these words and waved his hand, interrupting their ridiculous talk:

"When they were suppressing us and trying to kill us, I didn't see you come out to persuade them to stop, to have a few more helpers and kinsmen on our side."

"Instead, now that we are about to kill them, you jump out and start talking about helpers and kinsmen?"

"Hm?"

Lin Yang looked at the two of them, feeling a wave of disgust:

"Is this the way your Neutral Faction operates?"

"Or are you outwardly neutral, but actually leaning more towards Northern Branch Rock and the others?"

The two immediately shook their heads: "No, Your Excellency Lin Yang, please don't misunderstand. We are indeed considering the overall situation, which is why we hope Your Excellency Lin Yang can show a little mercy..."

"Enough!"

Lin Yang's gaze was sharp:

"Overall situation? Stop spouting this high-sounding bullshit here!"

"When they almost killed me back then, why didn't you come out and talk about the overall situation?"

The two's expressions changed: "Your Excellency Lin Yang, you..."

"Me what?"

Lin Yang interrupted them again, sneering:

"Stop with your 'you, you, me, me' here."

"Let me guess, you're jumping out to protect them now, probably not for the sake of your so-called kinsmen and the overall situation, right?"

"Instead, they wanted to kill me, and you believed that after they killed me, they wouldn't exterminate the Old Ancestors of Director Song's faction."

"Then, you could still maintain the title of the Neutral Faction, which everyone hears as fair and just."

"And you could righteously tell the Old Ancestors of Director Song's faction that it was precisely because of your existence, your mediation, that they were preserved, maintaining the stability of the Human Race and the Human Alliance, right?"

The two's faces changed again, becoming somewhat unnatural, their eyes also much deeper, staring intently at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang ignored their gaze and continued, his voice low:

"But now it's different. If I kill them, then there will be one less faction, and you will no longer be able to do anything with your identity as the Neutral Faction."

"Because the strength of Director Song and I, along with others, is fully capable of resolving any current trouble, and we don't need your Neutral Faction to maintain any so-called stability and balance at all."

"This will cause you to lose power and certain benefits or motives that I cannot yet guess."

"And these benefits or motives bring you immense gains!"

"Therefore, even though you know that I will soon be invincible in this era, you still jump out, willing to offend me to protect them."

"Am I right?"

Lin Yang finished speaking slowly, his gaze burning as he stared at the two.

The two were silent, then shook their heads: "It's not what you think. We genuinely considered the overall situation and stability of the entire Human Race. Losing too many Old Ancestors would lead to instability..."

"Still quibbling?"

Lin Yang sneered:

"If not for that, I truly can't find a reason why you would risk angering me to protect them, even knowing that I will soon be invincible!"

"Also, what 'neutrality'? There is no absolute neutrality in this world!"

"Just like the phrase 'speak fairly,' when that phrase is uttered, it is actually taking sides with the other party."

"I truly thought your Neutral Faction was absolutely neutral before, but now it seems, you're nothing more than this!"

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, why must you speak so harshly?" Both their faces looked rather unpleasant.

"Heh heh, now you're complaining that I speak harshly?"

"Why don't you talk about how ugly your own actions are?"

Lin Yang continued to sneer, showing no mercy.

"Lin Yang, you..."

The two's faces completely darkened:

"Do you truly intend to show no quarter at all?"

Lin Yang laughed again:

"Quarter?"

"Sorry, I'm not familiar with you!"

Saying that, he looked at these two guy, extending three fingers:

"I'll count to three. You'd best disappear from my sight before the countdown ends."

"Otherwise, I'll kill everyone, including those from your Neutral Faction!"

The two's faces instantly darkened, and they angrily said: "Lin Yang, you are too arrogant! We are well-intentioned, thinking for the greater good of humanity, yet you want to slaughter your own kind?"

"Get lost!"

Lin Yang originally had a little patience, but hearing this, his temper instantly flared:

"You two fools, when Northern Branch Rock and the others were killing me, you didn't say they were slaughtering their own kind."

"When they colluded with the Mingye Clan, you also didn't say they were slaughtering their own kind."

"Now, you're coming to tell me I'm slaughtering my own kind?"

Lin Yang was so angered by these words that he laughed, then directly announced the end of the countdown:

"Now, I'll only give you one second. Either disappear from my sight."

"Or, you two old guy, will be the first victims of my 'slaughtering my own kind'!"

As his words fell, Lin Yang's spiritual long spear condensed in his hand, its tip pointing directly at their faces.

In an instant, all races were shocked! (End of chapter)
