384: Liquidation will eventually come.

Heng, Boundless's face turned ashen, the eternal divine light around him fluctuating violently, yet under the imperial prestige of that dragon seal, he did not dare take another step forward. Dao Lord Jinmie let out a muffled groan, a flash of horror in his eyes as the fires of destruction around him were forcibly suppressed back into his body.

When the heavenly abyss dragon seal appears, the will of the Tianyuan Emperor descends! This was the supreme Foundation and absolute deterrent of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the top-ranked of the Five Great Immortal Dynasties!

“Abyss Without Path! Is your Tianyuan Dynasty going to make an enemy of everyone for this boy?” Heng, Boundless gritted his teeth, his voice squeezed out from between them.

“Make an enemy?” A cold arc curled at the corner of Abyss Without Path's mouth, his gaze like lightning as it swept across those faces blinded by greed. “This prince only sees a group of jumping clowns driven by avarice, attempting to snatch the Opportunity of my Primal Plane's hero! What Lin Yuan obtained was bestowed by the will of the Hongmeng Origin World! Whoever dares to snatch it makes an enemy of my Tianyuan! An enemy of the will of the Primal Plane!”

His words were powerful and resonant, aided by the imperial prestige of the dragon seal, they were like heavenly decrees, shocking the entire field. For a time, the Eternal Dynasty, the Destruction Temple, and those with sinister intentions dared not speak again, let alone take a step forward. The atmosphere on the scene was like a taut bowstring, suppressed to the extreme.

Lin Yuan stood behind Abyss Without Path, the Chaos Lotus Platform cascading hundreds of millions of strands of Grandmist Qi, protecting him tightly. His right hand lightly stroked the cold spine of the saint slaying sword, feeling the terrifying power within the blade that could slay all things.

His gaze was calm and rippleless, like a bottomless cold pool, slowly sweeping over Heng, Boundless's face twisted with jealousy, over the undisguised killing intent in Dao Lord Jinmie's eyes, and over those faces hidden in the crowd that also revealed greed and malice—a prince from the Great Yu Dynasty, a vice hall master of the Darkness Temple, an Elder of an Ancient Clan... Every person his gaze swept over felt as if a cold brand had lightly touched the depths of their Soul, leaving a subtle yet persistent mark.

Under the cover of the Chaos airflow, the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth curled into an extremely cold arc, and he quickly stored the treasures around him into his internal Universe.

The reckoning, there will be a time!

Abyss Without Path's words, carrying the Emperor's will—“Touch him? You all can try!”—echoed like the sound of solid metal in the frozen Void Realm, pressing down until Eternal Prince Heng, Boundless's face turned ashen and the destruction fire around Dao Lord Jinmie flickered uncertainly.

The heavenly abyss dragon seal suspended in the air, with nine dragons coiled upon it; that magnificent imperial prestige was like an invisible boundary wall, firmly blocking the restless greed and malice away from Lin Yuan.

The Chaos Lotus Platform hung above Lin Yuan's head, with hundreds of millions of strands of Grandmist Qi falling, enveloping his body in a chaotic mist, isolating him from all prying Divine Thoughts and malicious gazes from the outside world.

At the base of the lotus platform, a miniature phantom of the Grandmist Universe slowly rotated, resonating with the prototype inside Lin Yuan. Amidst the flow of dao rhyme, the tiny crack on the edge of the lotus platform was actually mending at a speed difficult for the naked eye to discern.

The saint slaying sword was held in his hand, its cold spine transmitting a matchless sharpness that could slay all laws; the hilt fit against his palm, the feeling of Bloodline connection being incomparably clear.

The dead silence lasted for only a few breaths.

“Good! What a ‘bestowal by the will of the Hongmeng Origin World’! What a ‘Primal Plane hero’!” Heng, Boundless laughed out of extreme anger, the golden light in his eyes almost bursting forth as he stared fixedly at Lin Yuan.

“Abyss Without Path, your Tianyuan Dynasty can protect him for a moment, but can you protect him for a lifetime? This Hongmeng Origin World hasn't truly opened yet! Once the Saint Realm restrictions are lifted, this Prince wants to see how long he can keep this hot potato warm!”

He violently flicked his sleeve, and the eternal divine light swept up his guard behind him, instantly tearing through space to turn and participate in the snatching of other supreme treasures. Clearly, he gave up on the head-on confrontation for now, but that bone-deep covetousness and killing intent remained in Lin Yuan's heart like a maggot on a bone.

Dao Lord Jinmie of the Destruction Temple took a deep look at the lotus platform above Lin Yuan's head, the muscles on his withered face twitching. Finally, it turned into a cold snort suppressing endless destructive desires. His dark red demon-patterned robes billowed as he led the followers of the Destruction Temple, turning into a streak of light that incinerated the Void Realm toward a supreme treasure.

Others with ill intentions, such as the prince of the Great Yu Dynasty and the vice hall master of the Darkness Temple, could only withdraw their gazes unwillingly under the imperial prestige of the heavenly abyss dragon seal and Abyss Without Path's undisguised killing intent, ceasing their activities and burying their greed deep inside.

Meanwhile, the remaining several Acquired Supreme Treasures—the Time-Space Origin Pearl, the Myriad Things Treasure Manual, the Dao-Slaying Spear, as well as the remaining Spirit Treasures and thousands of Sacred Artifacts—were like bait thrown into a pack of sharks, instantly igniting an even more tragic struggle.

“The Time-Space Origin Pearl belongs to my Time-Space Divine Temple!” An eighth-stage origin universe level Divine Son of the Time-Space Divine Temple steered the 'Instant Eternity Boat,' the ripples of time flowing on the hull suddenly accelerating in an attempt to freeze the time around the competitors.

“Everyone get lost! The Myriad Things Treasure Manual should belong to my Dayan Dynasty!” An old prince of the Dayan Dynasty sacrificed a compass that calculated heaven and earth, channeling the energy of the surrounding heavens to turn into a giant hand grabbing toward the ancient mirror.

“The Dao-Slaying Spear! Such a supreme treasure of slaughter should be wielded by my Destruction Temple!” Jinmie of the Destruction Temple struck out boldly, a storm of destruction sweeping out, heading straight for that black spear wrapped in Chaos Qi.

Divine light of light and darkness collided elsewhere, fighting for an Innate Spirit Treasure containing dual characteristics of purification and annihilation; the giants of the Hundred Great Sacred Lands and the Clan Chiefs of the Ancient Clans all took action, displaying their Divine Abilities. The booms of Hunyuan power collisions and the loud crashes of space shattering were incessant, completely turning that area into a meat grinder where Laws collapsed. Every time a treasure changed hands, it was accompanied by the fall of Hunyuan Realm experts and the mournful cries of shattering Universe prototypes, as a thick scent of blood and broken Origin aura permeated the air.

Abyss Without Path did not participate in the melee; the heavenly abyss dragon seal still hung above his head, firmly protecting his area. He looked at Lin Yuan and sent a transmission: “Lin Yuan, this place has become the eye of the storm and is not a place to stay for long. Quickly follow this Prince back to Chaos Origin City to refine the supreme treasures and stabilize your Foundation! This great show has only just begun!”

“Is Your Highness not interested in the Acquired Supreme Treasures?”

A bitter smile flitted across Abyss of No Way's face as he slowly said, “My Tianyuan Dynasty will naturally have experts fighting for them. I originally thought the Hunyuan Realm restriction would only be lifted ten years later, by which time I would have certainly reached the invincible Hunyuan Peak of the tenth-stage origin universe prototype. I didn't expect the restriction to be lifted so early; under these circumstances, I will not participate.”

Lin Yuan nodded, his gaze calmly sweeping across the chaotic battlefield before finally resting on Abyss Without Path with a hint of inquiry: “Your Highness, what about those hundred legions?”

“Dragon Fighting Wilderness!” Abyss Without Path shouted deeply.

“This general is here!” The bearded general appeared instantly, kneeling on one knee.

“Order the First through the One Hundredth Legions to immediately withdraw from the battlefield and escort Star Lord Lin and this Prince back to Chaos Origin City! If there is any obstruction along the way, kill without mercy!” Abyss Without Path’s command was decisive.

“This general obeys!” Dragon Fighting Wilderness boomed his response, turning around as his powerful military command will instantly spread to the one hundred million Hunyuan soldiers.
