169: Chapter 169 Clash of Sacred Bodies: A Huge Gap!

Space was sealed.

Auras were locked down.

Above the Wang Family Ancestral Land, not even a fly could escape.

Zhou Qing stood behind the Dharma Seal, his gaze sweeping over Wang Shuo and those few Quasi-Emperors from the Heaven and Earth Gate, speaking with overbearing authority.

“Those who violate my Holy Land, not a single one shall leave today!”

“All of you must die!!”

Peak Master Jiang Qiyue followed closely behind. With a sweep of Dao light from her sleeve, she directly cut off the retreat of the two Heaven and Earth Gate Quasi-Emperors beside Wang Shuo.

Chu Chengdao led the Chu Family elites, cutting in from the flanks.

The Imperial Clan battle formation spread out, blocking all paths on the periphery of the Wang Family Ancestral Land.

The remnants of the Wang Family who wanted to run, hide, or play dead...

None of them could even dream of leaving!

The Quasi-Emperor battlefield instantly exploded.

Luo Qinghan's Imperial Sword and the Grand Elder's Withered Bone Palm collided.

Cold light and gray Qi interlaced, and half the sky was frozen until cracks appeared.

Zhou Qing threw a punch. His Holy Lord Fist Intent, carrying a vast pressure, directly knocked Wang Shuo back three steps.

Peak Master Jiang Qiyue tapped her fingertips repeatedly, and sheets of Dao Patterns pressed down, forcing the two Heaven and Earth Gate Quasi-Emperors into a frantic state.

Chu Chengdao even cleaved off a corner of the Wang Family Ancestral Hall with a single blade strike, sending crushed stones flying everywhere.

The heavens collapsed and the earth split; rivers flowed backward.

The clouds above the Wang Family Ancestral Land were torn to shreds, and the aftershocks rippled outward in circles.

The Cultivators watching from a distance were all shaken back repeatedly; some were even flipped onto the ground by the airwaves.

“A Quasi-Emperor battle!”

“My God, are several Quasi-Emperors taking action at the same time?”

“The Wang Family is finished, completely finished!”

“The Heavenly Profound Holy Land is truly going to exterminate the Wang Family this time!”

Exclamations rose and fell one after another.

But what truly drew people's attention was the battlefield on the ground.

While sealing the high altitude, Zhou Qing did one more thing.

He pressed one hand downward, and a transparent wall of light descended from the sky.

It isolated the area where Lin Yi and Xu Tian were.

The Quasi-Emperor aftershocks were blocked outside by the light wall.

Those outside couldn't enter, and those inside couldn't leave.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

Xu Tian's life had to be taken by Lin Yi personally!

Xu Tian understood as well.

He gripped the life and death source pearl, the blood vessels on his body bulging one by one, as blue-black patterns spread from his chest to his neck.

His eyes had turned completely red, and the colors of black and white spun frantically in his pupils.

He stared at Lin Yi, his lips curling into a manic smile.

“Good!”

“The heavens are sealed, the earth is locked.”

“Only you and I remain.”

“Lin Yi, didn't you want to avenge Shen Qingyue?”

“Come on!”

“Today, we decide life and death!”

Lin Yi didn't move immediately.

He tilted his head and glanced behind him.

Shen Qingyue stood at the edge of the light wall, the Dao light in her palm still churning; she clearly wanted to follow him in.

Chu Wanqing held the imperial zither, her red clothes fluttering as she also looked over here.

Su Yuxi's white sleeves rose slightly, her gaze cold and sharp, ready to act at any moment.

Xu Chen carried the ancient desolate hall on his shoulder, his mouth open as if he were about to curse someone.

Lin Yi waved his hand at them and summoned the heavenly emperor cauldron to protect them.

“All of you, back away.”

“I will slay him personally!!”

Shen Qingyue's footsteps faltered, her lips pressed tight.

She wanted to say something, but in the end, she swallowed it back.

Because the look Lin Yi gave her was too calm.

So calm it was reassuring.

Chu Wanqing bit her lip, hugged the imperial zither tight, and took two steps back, muttering.

“Brother Lin Yi, finish the fight quickly.”

“Don't let that mad dog bite people anymore!”

Su Yuxi withdrew the Dao Patterns from her fingertips and said coldly.

“Lin Yi, be careful of that pearl of his.”

“That thing is an extreme dao imperial weapon; don't take it head-on!”

Xu Chen was the last to back away, and before he did, he didn't forget to shout into the light wall.

“Big brother, beat him to death!”

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched. He turned around to face Xu Tian.

He took a step forward.

The ground beneath his feet collapsed on the spot.

The Hongmeng Chaos Body operated at full power, his blood Qi roaring as the Hongmeng Domain spread out behind him once more.

Chaos Qi churned.

The phantom of a galaxy rose and fell.

Fist Intent surged, and Dao Patterns lit up simultaneously.

Lin Yi stared at Xu Tian, his voice flat yet carrying a killing intent that made one's spine chill.

“You are not qualified to determine victory or defeat with me.”

“You only deserve to die!”

Xu Tian's pupils shrank violently as the Life and Death Wheel Seal on his chest spun frantically.

He pushed forward with both hands, the life and death source pearl suspended before him as black and white Qi erupted simultaneously.

One path of life.

One path of death.

The two torrents, carrying the might of an imperial weapon, crushed toward Lin Yi head-on.

Lin Yi didn't retreat.

His right fist rose, Hongmeng Chaos Qi condensing on the knuckles.

Heavenly Emperor Fist, fully activated.

Boom!

The Fist Intent and the life and Death Qi collided head-on.

Within the sealed area, the ground instantly exploded.

Crushed stones filled the air.

Airwaves overflowed.

The light wall even trembled violently.

The people outside could only see black, white, and Chaos interlacing inside, exploding in one blinding burst of light after another.

Xu Chen's eyes widened, and he almost squeezed handprints into the ancient desolate hall.

“Holy crap, this commotion...”

Chu Wanqing hugged the imperial zither tightly, her expression somewhat nervous.

Shen Qingyue said nothing, only staring fixedly at the black-robed figure inside the light wall.

Her hands were trembling slightly inside her sleeves.

She hated Xu Tian.

She hated the Heaven and Earth Gate.

She hated that pearl stained with the blood of the Shen Family members!

Inside the light wall.

Lin Yi blasted back the life and Death Qi with a single punch; crushed stones flew at his feet, and his black robe flapped loudly.

He stared at Xu Tian, who was wrapped in black and white Qi, his gaze frighteningly deep.

Xu Tian was knocked back three steps, blood leaking from the corner of his mouth, yet he laughed even more crazily.

“Come on!”

“Again!”

“I want to see how many moves you can endure!”

Lin Yi didn't reply.

He just took a step forward.

His fist rose again.

This battle.

Would be until death.

The two of them rapidly exchanged several rounds of blows.

By now, the ground within the sealed area was already in ruins.

Green stones were ground into powder, the ancestral vein blood runes were blasted into pieces, and deep pits torn by fist energy were everywhere.

Xu Tian stood ten feet away, holding the life and death source pearl in both hands, black and white Qi churning and interlacing around him.

He didn't waste any more words.

With a push of his left hand, a thick, emerald-green life force transformed into a giant palm, striking down wrapped in corrosive power.

His right hand followed closely, a jet-black Death Qi condensing into a long spear, stabbing straight at Lin Yi's chest.

Life and Death Qi emerged together, one after the other, from tricky angles.

Every strike carried extremely heavy erosive power.

That life force was not healing, but rotting.

Upon contact with a living being, it would drill into the crevices of the bones to collapse a person's Qi and blood from the inside.

The Death Qi was even more ruthless; it would extinguish whatever it touched, even grinding away the Divine Soul inch by inch.

Lin Yi shifted his feet, the Qian Secret moving first.

Xu Tian's opening trajectory appeared half a beat slower in his eyes.

When the giant palm of life force reached him, Lin Yi had already stepped aside.

When the Death Qi spear stabbed toward him, he swung his right arm horizontally, Hongmeng Chaos Qi wrapping around his entire forearm, forcibly parrying the spear tip away.

Ssh!

The Death Qi brushed past his cuff, and the corner of his black robe instantly turned to ash.

But not even a single bloodstain was left on Lin Yi's flesh.

Xu Tian's pupils shrank.

His most proud life-and-death erosion, when meeting the Hongmeng Chaos Body, was like water splashed against an iron plate.

It couldn't penetrate at all!

“This... this is impossible!”

Xu Tian's mind was shaken, filled with disbelief.

This was his trump card ultimate killing move, yet it was easily parried by Lin Yi with his bare flesh, without leaving so much as a wound.

A monstrous wave rose in his heart as he finally recognized the chasm-like gap between them.

His past conceit and arrogance collapsed instantly, and a sense of terror swept through his entire body.

If he didn't fight for his life now, there probably wouldn't be another chance!

Thinking of this, Xu Tian gave a low roar, both hands flipping simultaneously as the life and death source pearl suspended before his chest gave a sudden jolt.

In an instant, the black and white Qi surged threefold, transforming into two giant pythons that coiled toward Lin Yi from the left and right.
