609: Impossible to be beaten out? You may not believe it!

"Get out!"

Lin Yang roared, increasing his strength further, sweeping Xuan Lie towards the stone tablet.

In the Saint Xuan Grotto Heaven, it was simple to send the princes out.

When the Grotto Heaven Spirit determined that the power far exceeded a prince's capacity to resist, it would automatically trigger.

Therefore, when Lin Yang's power completely enveloped Xuan Lie, exerting killing intent upon him, and Butcher Owl couldn't rescue him in time, the Grotto Heaven Spirit judged Xuan Lie unable to resist and consequently teleported him out.

"Lin!"

"Yang!"

"I will make sure you die!"

"Absolutely!"

The moment before he was sent out, Xuan Lie's furious voice echoed throughout the Grotto Heaven.

Buzz.

With a ripple of power, Xuan Lie's figure vanished completely from the Grotto Heaven.

"Xuan Lie... was sent out..."

At this moment, Xuan Huang and the other princes felt a tremor in their hearts, somewhat stunned.

Despite having an Invincible Emperor as a guard, Xuan Lie was still sent out.

And he was sent out head-on.

This was too astonishing!

Even in the history of the Saint Xuan Ancient Country, such a thing had never happened.

Within the Saint Xuan Grotto Heaven, only those at the Invincible Emperor level could enter.

In any era, princes accompanied by an Invincible Emperor were never sent out.

But now, Xuan Lie, despite being accompanied by an Invincible Emperor, was still sent out.

This broke a record.

And it sent a chill down people's spines.

If one could be sent out even with an Invincible Emperor accompanying them, it meant that the myth of the Invincible Emperor's invincibility within the Grotto Heaven was also shattered!

This was truly alarming!

"Lin Yang!"

"You are courting death!!"

Butcher Owl also became even more enraged!

Xuan Lie being sent out right in front of him wasn't just an embarrassment for Xuan Lie; it was an even greater embarrassment for him!

With him guarding, Xuan Lie was still sent out. One could imagine the ridicule he would face outside!

After all, this was the first such instance in the history of the Saint Xuan Ancient Country!

Butcher Owl was thoroughly enraged.

With a shake of his long blade, he was ready to fight Lin Yang to the death!

At this point, only by sending Lin Yang out could he salvage some of his reputation!

As for killing Lin Yang, he now knew it was impossible.

At this moment, Butcher Owl only wanted to put all his effort into sending Lin Yang out of the Grotto Heaven as well.

Boom boom boom!

Lin Yang decisively met the attack.

The power of two Invincible Emperors erupted within the Grotto Heaven.

Far more terrifying than when Butcher Owl and Tantai Ming previously vied for the Space Source Pearl!

Because now, Butcher Owl was fighting with all his might, and Lin Yang, similarly, wanted to take the opportunity to kill Butcher Owl!

Heaven and earth changed color!

The Grotto Heaven vibrated!

...At the entrance of the Grotto Heaven.

Xuan Xiao and Butler Fu were excitedly waiting for the final round of trials to pass, preparing to wait there to welcome Lin Yang.

Suddenly.

"Hmph..."

A muffled grunt sounded.

Xuan Lie's figure fell out in disarray.

"Hmm?"

"Xuan Lie?!"

Xuan Xiao and Butler Fu were both startled. After seeing clearly that it was Xuan Lie, the two instantly exchanged glances.

"Xuan Lie, you actually got sent out too?!"

Xuan Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

This guy could actually be sent out??

He found it unbelievable.

"Hmph!"

Xuan Lie merely snorted, staring coldly at Xuan Xiao for a couple of seconds without answering.

"This..." Xuan Xiao and Butler Fu were both greatly astonished.

Who could have sent Xuan Lie out?

They immediately thought of Lin Yang.

But then they quickly dismissed the idea.

Lin Yang was very strong, and he might have even obtained the Space Source Pearl.

But even if he had obtained the Space Source Pearl, making him comparable to an Invincible Emperor, he was still merely a newcomer. He couldn't possibly compare to a veteran Invincible Emperor like Butcher Owl.

It shouldn't be possible for him to send Xuan Lie out while under Butcher Owl's protection.

Yet, besides Lin Yang, they truly couldn't think of anyone else who would have sent Xuan Lie out.

Just as Xuan Xiao and Butler Fu were filled with doubt, surprise, and confusion.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Several more figures flashed, and several Saint Xuan Rulers appeared one after another.

Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness looked at the suddenly appearing Xuan Lie, his eyes extremely cold: "Xuan Lie, why are you out as well? What exactly happened inside?"

The other Saint Xuan Rulers also looked at Xuan Lie.

Xuan Xiao had come out too early and knew nothing of the situation.

Now that Xuan Lie was also out, they were all very curious about what had happened afterward.

Xuan Lie's expression froze. He could choose not to answer Xuan Xiao, but facing Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness and the other Saint Xuan Rulers' gazes, he dared not remain silent. He immediately replied respectfully:

"Reporting to Saint Xuan Ruler, I was sent out by Lin Yang."

"Hmm? You were sent out by Lin Yang? So the Space Source Pearl was indeed obtained by him?"

At these words, Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness's eyes grew even colder.

The other Saint Xuan Rulers couldn't help but exchange glances, all greatly surprised.

"Yes, the Space Source Pearl was ultimately taken by Lin Yang and then refined," Xuan Lie honestly replied.

"Hmph, even if he obtained it, how could he send you out under Butcher Owl's protection?" Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness snorted angrily, his mood extremely foul.

Not only did he not get the Space Source Pearl, but now his person had also been sent out.

He wouldn't get first place either!

Both were lost!

How could he not be angry?

"Saint Xuan Ruler, Lin Yang has extremely powerful life-saving abilities. Even before he obtained the Space Source Pearl, Lord Butcher Owl couldn't kill him."

Xuan Lie also felt very aggrieved, and immediately explained the situation:

"Then, while Lord Butcher Owl and Lord Tantai Ming were competing for the Space Source Pearl, he seized the opportunity to snatch it away. After a hundred years of refining, he gained power comparable to an Invincible Emperor."

"Even Lord Butcher Owl couldn't do anything to him, which is why I... was sent out."

As Xuan Lie spoke further, he dared not lift his head.

He could feel Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness's icy gaze like daggers.

If it were anyone else or another occasion, he would probably have already been punished by Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness by now.

"Useless!"

Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness growled, not knowing if he was scolding Xuan Lie or Butcher Owl.

Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanzhao Wilderness and Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanjun Wilderness exchanged glances and asked Xuan Lie:

"Xuan Lie, from what you're saying, Lin Yang obtained the Space Source Pearl, and now his power level is even slightly stronger than a veteran Invincible Emperor like Butcher Owl?"

"This... Reporting to Saint Xuan Ruler, I cannot be certain. They had just begun to fight when I was sent out immediately."

Xuan Lie replied honestly once more:

"In terms of power, Lin Yang, with the help of the Space Source Pearl, definitely reached the Invincible Emperor level. Even if he can't surpass a veteran Invincible Emperor, his life-saving abilities are too strong and too strange. Lord Butcher Owl couldn't do anything to him, but this doesn't necessarily mean he is stronger than Lord Butcher Owl."

Upon hearing this, Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanzhao Wilderness and the other Saint Xuan Rulers nodded slightly.

They all understood Xuan Lie's meaning.

Lin Yang's inherent power had not yet reached the Invincible Emperor level; he only achieved it by using the Space Source Pearl. However, his life-saving abilities were truly too strong, enough to render an Invincible Emperor helpless, that was all.

"Lin Yang... is already that strong??"

Unlike Xuan Lie and Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness's anger, Xuan Xiao and Butler Fu were even more excited, wanting to jump for joy.

If the situation allowed, they would definitely be celebrating right now.

Even Xuan Taihuang showed a joyful expression.

It didn't matter if Lin Yang's own power level hadn't reached that of an Invincible Emperor; reaching it with the Space Source Pearl was enough.

Moreover, compared to sheer power, formidable life-saving abilities were clearly more important!

After all, only by being alive were there infinite possibilities.

From Xuan Lie's words, it could be heard that Lin Yang's life-saving abilities were so potent that even a veteran Invincible Emperor like Butcher Owl couldn't do anything to him.

This meant that no matter which Invincible Emperor he faced, he could at least stand undefeated.

To put it plainly, this made him extremely troublesome!

This was the most headache-inducing kind of Invincible Emperor!

With such an Invincible Emperor possessing extremely strong life-saving abilities, any enemy would get a headache!

Xuan Taihuang also felt a faint excitement; this unexpected good fortune was too great!

After his anger, Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness seemed to have thought of something and snorted at Xuan Lie: "Hmph, were you sent out after reporting in, or before reporting in?"

"Reporting to Saint Xuan Ruler, I was sent out after reporting in," Xuan Lie immediately replied.

Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness's expression inexplicably softened: "It's good that you were sent out after reporting in. Butcher Owl can still continue the third round of trials for you. Otherwise... you would just wait here for the trial results!"

For Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness, this news was the only good news amidst a lot of bad news.

He didn't believe Lin Yang could also send Butcher Owl out.

Extremely strong life-saving abilities meant one could only defend.

Butcher Owl couldn't do anything to him, and he couldn't possibly do anything to Butcher Owl.

Then Butcher Owl could still complete the third round of trials, and Xuan Xiao still had a chance to get first place!

The other Saint Xuan Rulers, hearing this, also nodded in agreement.

But... just as Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness's words fell.

At the entrance of the Grotto Heaven, another figure suddenly stumbled out.

"Butcher Owl?!"

In an instant, when the face of the figure stumbling out of the entrance was clearly seen, the scene instantly fell silent.

More accurately, it was a deathly silence.

Everyone looked at the grim-faced Butcher Owl, their faces showing shock.

Could it be that Butcher Owl... was also sent out by Lin Yang?!

"Butcher Owl!"

"Were you also sent out by that Lin Yang?"

Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness was extremely irritable and immediately questioned him.

"Saint Xuan Ruler, I..."

Butcher Owl hadn't expected seven Saint Xuan Rulers to be gathered at the entrance. He immediately tensed up, lowered his head slightly, his face flushed, and said in a low voice:

"Saint Xuan Ruler, I am ashamed. I was careless for a moment, fell into Lin Yang's trap, and he took the opportunity to send me out of the Grotto Heaven."

Everyone: "..."

Silence.

A deathly silence.

Everyone, including Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness and Xuan Lie, fell silent.

Even Butcher Owl had been sent out, leaving them all at a loss for words.

Just moments ago, they were thinking that Butcher Owl couldn't possibly be sent out, but then he was sent out in a flash. This was truly too absurd.

At this moment, only one thought remained in everyone's mind.

That was.

Lin Yang, had he become that strong?

The Saint Xuan Rulers were all greatly shocked at this moment.

This was simply too strong, to an excessive degree!

"Butcher, Lord Butcher Owl, that Lin Yang... is even you no match for him now?"

After the silence, Xuan Lie's eyes widened, asking in disbelief.

He couldn't believe, or rather, simply refused to believe, that Lin Yang could become so strong that even Butcher Owl was no match for him, just after obtaining the Space Source Pearl.

When he was sent out, he had uttered harsh words, saying he would definitely make Lin Yang die. At that time, his thought was that even if Lin Yang had the power of an Invincible Emperor with the help of the Space Source Pearl, he was still just a newcomer.

With two Invincible Emperors on their side, they would definitely be able to kill Lin Yang.

But now, if even Butcher Owl was no match for him, then even with one more Invincible Emperor, there would be no chance of killing Lin Yang!

Butcher Owl's old face flushed even more. He was somewhat reluctant to answer Xuan Lie's question. Outside the Grotto Heaven, he could completely ignore a prince like Xuan Lie.

But now that the Saint Xuan Rulers were all here, he had no choice but to say:

"Your Highness, that young guy has extremely strong life-saving abilities. I am completely helpless against him, and his offensive power, with the help of the Space Source Pearl, is also very strong. In a direct confrontation, I am indeed somewhat not his match..."

As he spoke these words, Butcher Owl's face was flushed to the extreme.

Humiliating!

Too humiliating!

He, a dignified veteran Invincible Emperor, now personally admitted to being inferior to a newly advanced Invincible Emperor. This made him wish he could find a hole to crawl into!

If it were any other time, he definitely wouldn't have said this; he would have at least saved some face for himself.

But now that the seven Saint Xuan Rulers were all present, he couldn't say anything to salvage his reputation, and could only honestly admit that he was indeed somewhat inferior to Lin Yang.

And as Butcher Owl admitted his inferiority to Lin Yang, the atmosphere in the arena once again became peculiar.

To make a veteran Emperor admit inferiority, one could imagine that Lin Yang's strength was definitely even greater than what Butcher Owl claimed.

Otherwise, even if Butcher Owl dared not lie in front of the seven Saint Xuan Rulers, he would at most say something about being evenly matched or having made a mistake, rather than directly admitting his inferiority.

The meaning of those few words was far too different!

"Lin Yang... is he even stronger than an Invincible Emperor?"

Xuan Xiao was already stunned.

That's right.

He was stunned, stunned, and stunned once again!

Stunned with excitement!

Stunned with exhilaration!

Initially, he was stunned because Lin Yang was suspected of obtaining the Space Source Pearl.

Later, he was stunned because Lin Yang sent Xuan Lie out.

Now, being stunned again, Xuan Xiao's level of bewilderment was far deeper and more intense than the previous two times!

Even an Invincible Emperor was no match for Lin Yang!

How could he not be stunned and amazed!

At this moment, Xuan Xiao only felt an indescribable surge of excitement, even happiness, rush to his head, making him dizzy!

Happiness came too suddenly!

Not only did he have an Invincible Emperor as a guest, but this Invincible Emperor was even stronger than a veteran Invincible Emperor. How could this not be happiness?!

"Butler Fu, I, I..." Xuan Xiao gripped Butler Fu's hand, too excited to say anything.

Butler Fu was also extremely excited.

Even Xuan Taihuang, at this moment, also felt a faint sense of happiness descending from the heavens!

Originally, with Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness gaining a fortuitous encounter and his strength improving, their lineage would be targeted to death during Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness's reign.

Now, with the sudden addition of such a powerful Invincible Emperor, it was imaginable that the lives of those in their lineage would be much better in the future!

At the very least, they would have sufficient qualifications to contend for certain resources, instead of being completely seized by Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness's lineage!

"Hmph, useless, all useless!"

Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness looked at Xuan Taihuang's smiling lips, anger rising from his heart, and snorted twice, scolding both Xuan Lie and Butcher Owl.

If it were any other time, no matter how angry he was, he wouldn't directly scold an Invincible Emperor like this.

Because Invincible Emperors had too many choices and all had their own pride, but now he truly couldn't endure it.

Butcher Owl also knew that he had a significant problem this time, so he didn't refute anything and silently endured it.

Subsequently, Saint Xuan Ruler Xuanming Wilderness's angry figure dissipated on the spot.

Now that everyone had been sent out, he no longer had any need to stay and watch the rankings!

"Haha, what a relief, truly a relief!"

Xuan Xiao, however, shouted loudly.

"Xuan Xiao! We'll see about this!"

Xuan Lie took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that was almost uncontrollable in his heart, and coldly uttered a harsh threat to Xuan Xiao before turning and leaving.

Butcher Owl followed closely behind.

Seeing this, the Saint Xuan Rulers also began to sigh with emotion:

"Xuan Xiao, you're a lucky young guy. If I'm not mistaken, you are the first prince of this era to have an Invincible Emperor as a guest. This honor alone is enough to earn you an extra reward."

"Xuan Taihuang, congratulations to you as well."

The Saint Xuan Rulers also expressed their sentiments one after another, and then all left.

Only Xuan Taihuang remained. He looked at Xuan Xiao, with many questions in his heart, but in the end, they condensed into one sentence:

"Xuan Xiao, you're quite something, young guy. How did you manage to impress Lin Yang back then and recruit him as your guest?"

That year, Lin Yang guarded the Boundary Wall, astonishing the Endless Spacetime.

Countless super forces extended invitations, all of which were rejected.

He was truly curious, how did this brat Xuan Xiao manage to have such good fortune?

Yes, that's right.

Even Xuan Taihuang was a little jealous of Xuan Xiao's good luck at this moment.

"Reporting to Saint Xuan Ruler, you might not believe me if I tell you."

Xuan Xiao chuckled, and with a smug look in Xuan Taihuang's bewildered eyes, he said:

"Actually, I had already recruited him as my guest when he was still only in the Boundary Realm."

"What? Recruited him when he was in the Boundary Realm??"

Xuan Taihuang was stunned on the spot.

This...
