252: Crown of the Era's Prodigies

Boom!!!

Fist seals collided! The World-Extinguishing Fist Qi clashed with the Life-Death Reincarnation Seal! Blinding light exploded! Universe felt an irresistible, terrifying force containing the cycle of life and death and Chaos annihilation surge into his arm! His proud Ancient Desolate Saint Body groaned under the strain, and the bones of his right arm let out a tooth-aching crack! He was sent flying like a meteor hit head-on by a speeding star, coughing up blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. He crashed heavily into the edge of the Chaos platform, creating a massive crater! He struggled to get up but coughed up blood again, his aura withering to the extreme, completely losing his combat power! The Destruction Rainbow Bridge behind him dimmed by more than half in an instant!

Simultaneously, Lin Yuan's right hand pointed like a sword. The 25% True Intent of the Chaos Great Dao at his fingertips perfectly fused with the chaos green lotus's Origin power, transforming into an indescribable color—an ultimate finger force that seemed to contain the power of creation: the Chaos Heaven-Opening Finger! Ignoring the obstruction of space, it instantly pointed toward the glabella of Mr. Yuan Mie Xu behind him!

Mr. Yuan Mie Xu's soul almost flew out of his body! He felt a fatal threat! The Gui Xu black hole contracted to its limit, attempting to swallow this finger force!

Ssh—!

There was no earth-shattering explosion. The Chaos Heaven-Opening Finger was like a hot knife through butter, easily piercing the defense of the Gui Xu black hole! The finger force accurately struck the gui xu runes that Mr. Yuan Mie Xu had hurriedly condensed at his glabella!

"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out! The gui xu runes were instantly covered in cracks! Mr. Yuan Mie Xu was hit as if by a heavy blow, bleeding from his seven orifices. He flew backward like a broken kite, the Gui Xu aura around him fluctuating violently, and even the Gui Xu Rainbow Bridge behind him showed signs of instability! For the first time, his gaze toward Lin Yuan was filled with bone-deep fear! Had it not been for the special properties of the Power of Gui Xu which dissipated most of the force, that one finger would likely have destroyed his Divine Soul!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan used his Domain to resist the joint attack of the seven great Prodigies, used the Life-Death Reincarnation Seal to heavily injure Universe, and used the Chaos Heaven-Opening Finger to force back Mr. Yuan Mie Xu! His overwhelming ferocity shook the Universe!

With just one counterattack, Lin Yuan's superhuman combat power plunged the entire Chaos Royal Court into a dead silence! Even those Era Prodigies who hadn't participated in the siege held their breath, looking at Lin Yuan as if looking at a walking Chaos Demon God!

Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the terrified attackers and finally landed on the Chaos Throne floating in the center of the platform, radiating supreme majesty.

He no longer paid attention to the opponents who had temporarily lost their threat. He stepped forward, walking toward the throne step by step. With every step, the Chaos air currents beneath his feet submitted. The Chaos Ancestral Dragon vision behind him roared at the sky, the chaos green lotus above his head shed billions of rays of pure light, and the Luck Rainbow Bridge, as brilliant as a Chaos sun, draped him in a layer of invincible golden radiance!

Lin Yuan's pace was steady and firm, stepping on the platform composed of Chaos air currents, producing a low rumble like ancient war drums. Every step seemed to land on the hearts of all the Prodigies present, shaking their Divine Souls.

Those Era Prodigies who had joined forces only to be instantly dismantled by Lin Yuan's invincible posture were now as if choked by an invisible giant hand, their faces etched with shock and bone-deep fear. Universe lay in the crater, every breath bringing up blood foam; the dark gold luster of his Ancient Desolate Saint Body was as dim as a flickering candle in the wind, and his Destruction Rainbow Bridge was nearly extinguished. Mr. Yuan Mie Xu clutched the shattered gui xu runes at his glabella, the indifference that usually controlled everything gone from his deep eyes, replaced by the tremors of a Dao Heart crushed by the Chaos Heaven-Opening Finger; his Gui Xu Rainbow Bridge fluctuated wildly, as if it would collapse at any moment. Derive - Dao Void's face was as pale as paper, the Fate Threads at his fingertips in complete disarray. His gaze toward Lin Yuan was filled with incomprehensible bewilderment; his fate deductions appeared so pale and laughable before Lin Yuan's illogical Chaos power.

"Let him go first to test the reality of the supreme throne. Lin Yuan, if you don't withstand the final trial, you might not be the one laughing at the end!"

The starlight around Azure Heaven Emperor flickered uncertainly. That imperial aura that looked down upon the heavens was completely shattered, leaving only the palpitations of a survivor and a hint of humiliation from being crushed by absolute power. The other Prodigies who participated in the siege were all withered in aura and wounded in their Dao Hearts, looking at the figure walking toward the throne as if looking up at an insurmountable divine mountain.

Xuanyuan Wuji, who had not participated in the siege, took a deep breath of the cold Chaos air. His clenched fists slowly relaxed, and the last trace of unwillingness in his eyes turned into a heavy sigh and deep awe. He knew the gap between him and Lin Yuan was now a chasm. Mia, Ink Shadow, Su Yao, and the others also had complex expressions, shocked and speechless. Constant Inability sat cross-legged at the edge of the platform, Reincarnation power flowing around him as he repaired the slight exhaustion from climbing the monument earlier; his gaze toward Lin Yuan carried a hint of deep inquiry and solemnity.

In the entire Chaos Royal Court, only the Chaos Ancestral Dragon behind Lin Yuan was roaring, only the chaos green lotus above his head was shedding pure light, and only his Luck Rainbow Bridge, brilliant as a Chaos sun, shone with ten thousand rays of light, becoming the sole Dominator of this world!

He ignored all gazes and the frozen air, walking step by step toward the supreme throne floating in the center of the platform, radiating supreme majesty.

While still a hundred feet from the throne, an unprecedented, terrifying pressure—seemingly originating from the Origin will of the Universe—suddenly descended! This pressure was a hundred times more tyrannical than the suppression of the entire previous stairway combined! It no longer acted on the Physical Body but directly interrogated the Divine Soul, crushed the Dao Heart, and ground down the will! It was as if billions of Chaos divine mountains were pressing down simultaneously, intending to grind any ignorant person who dared to desecrate the throne into powder!

Cr-cr-crack!

The space around the throne groaned under the burden, cracking into jet-black fissures! The Chaos air currents at the edge of the platform were forcibly pushed away, forming an absolute vacuum zone!

For the first time, Lin Yuan's steps showed a visible lag! The Luck Rainbow Bridge behind him vibrated violently, its light flickering as if it would be crushed by this Heavenly Dao pressure at any moment!

"Throne pressure! This is the true trial!" "Even someone as strong as Lin Yuan finds it hard to move an inch?" The watching Prodigies' hearts were taut with tension.

"Hmph! Is the throne that easy to sit on? The interrogation of the Heavenly Dao's will is enough to obliterate any Dao Heart below the Saint Realm!" Mr. Yuan Mie Xu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, whispering with a hint of twisted pleasure.

However, Lin Yuan only slightly raised his head. The speck of Glazed Chaos Heart Light in his eyes, instead of being extinguished, seemed to have been cast into the core of a billion stars, erupting with an unprecedented, eternal, and indestructible brilliant light that pierced through the ages!

"Chaos is fearless, the Dao Heart is eternal! How can mere pressure stop me from reaching the top?!"
