117: The Phantom Reappears, the Prince's End

When Lin Tian's words, "This is the reward I deserve as the 'Victor'," like the loudest slap, fiercely struck the face of the Qin Family's contemporary Human Emperor, the entire Taihe Hall Plaza, along with the tens of billions of global viewers in front of their screens, held their breath completely at that instant.

He's insane!

This "Alpha" of the Dragon Family is absolutely insane!

He not only publicly rejected the position of "Imperial Son-in-Law" from the Qin Family, a position that would drive anyone mad, but he even turned the tables, demanding in an almost commanding tone that the Head of the Qin Family open the ultimate Forbidden Ground — "Pangu Tomb" — which has been passed down for thousands of years and is reputed to be the Foundation of the Qin Family's Dragon Vein!

What arrogance!

What lawlessness!

Qin Zheng, the Head of the Qin Family, whose majestic face had been as calm as a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg, finally, at this moment, completely darkened.

An SSS-Class Demigod might, more terrifying and substantial than ever before, brewed wildly within him like a super volcano about to erupt! In his unfathomable eyes, deep as an abyss, all scrutiny and appreciation had vanished, replaced by a monstrous rage, capable of freezing the entire planet, stemming from his imperial dignity being publicly challenged!

"Lin Tian..."

He slowly, word by word, uttered the name. Each word seemed to carry ten thousand bolts of thunder, causing the surrounding space to emit faint, unbearable "cracking" sounds.

"You are... courting death!"

A terrifying standoff formed.

On one side was the contemporary "Human Emperor," who reigned over the world and controlled the ancient Imperial Dynasty of Huaxia.

On the other side was the peerless "King" who had emerged from nowhere and suppressed the entire Golden Generation.

Two supreme powerhouses, standing at the very top of this era's pyramid in different Domains, their wills clashed resoundingly at The Peak of the Forbidden City at this moment!

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out!

Everyone watching this scene globally felt their hearts being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand, making even breathing incredibly difficult. They knew that once these two truly made a move, it would no longer be the "junior" struggle from before, but a world-class war capable of dragging the entire Yanjing, and even half of Huaxia, into conflict!

Just in this suffocating deadlock, where even time seemed to have frozen.

An untimely, venomous, and inflammatory voice suddenly sharply broke the silence.

It was Qin Wushuang, the Third Prince of the Qin Family!

He leaped violently from the VIP seating!

He had long been driven mad by Lin Tian's earlier humiliation of "snatching treasures and gifting beauties." Now, seeing his father finally enraged, he believed this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to overthrow Lin Tian and atone for his mistakes in front of his father!

He pointed at Lin Tian on the arena, and with a hoarse voice, incited the various Prodigies who had also been defeated by Lin Tian and harbored resentment:

"Everyone! You all saw it!"

"This child is utterly arrogant and looks down on everyone! He not only despises us, but he doesn't even put my Imperial Father, or the entire Qin Family, in his eyes!"

"If we don't seize this opportunity today and join forces to kill him here! In the future, all of us Prodigies will forever live in his shadow, never to rise!"

"He is the public enemy of all of us! He must be jointly executed!"

He tried to use these words to ignite everyone's anger, forming a "world siege" to utterly doom Lin Tian!

It must be said, his incitement did have some effect. Adam of Holy Mountain, Arthur of Holy Temple, and others, after hearing his words, showed a flicker of intention in their eyes. After all, Lin Tian's earlier remark, "Everyone here is trash," had indeed offended all of them thoroughly.

Facing Qin Wushuang's suicidal act, like a clown, Lin Tian's gaze instantly turned icy cold.

He was about to personally act and thoroughly clean house of this fly, buzzing in his ear, unaware of its own demise.

But, before he could make a move.

A cold, emotionless, non-male, non-female electronic synthetic voice, colder than his gaze, like the final judgment from the nine nether Hells, resonated without warning deep within everyone's Soul.

"Noisy."

That voice!

It was it!

That mysterious... hidden guardian behind Lin Tian, who had, with a single move from afar, severely wounded the S-Rank Elder of "War God Academy" at Kunlun Airport!

It had appeared again!

Qin Zheng, the Head of the Qin Family, his face changed drastically the moment he heard this voice! His terrifying Demigod-Rank Divine Thought, like a radar, frantically swept every inch of space around him, trying to find the source of the voice!

However, he found nothing!

It was as if that existence was not even in this dimension!

And just as his mind was violently shaken, feeling a never-before-seen, fatal threat.

The voice sounded again.

"In front of my master, you dare to... be noisy?"

Accompanying these words, filled with absolute contempt and supreme killing intent.

An invisible, ultra-sonic attack, beyond the limits of human hearing, capable of annihilating all matter and energy at its Foundation, instantly descended!

Its target was none other than the Third Prince of the Qin Family, Qin Wushuang, who was still smugly pleased with his "cleverness"!

"Not good!"

Qin Zheng was terrified beyond belief! He felt the "rule-level" power contained within that attack, a power that made even him tremble, capable of erasing everything!

He wanted to stop it! He wanted to tear space and rescue his son!

But he was simply too late!

That attack was too fast! So fast that it transcended time!

The moment his Divine Thought barely caught the trajectory of the attack, the attack had already arrived!

Under the gaze of the Head of the Qin Family, eyes filled with horror, anger, and disbelief.

Under the utterly stunned gazes of the entire audience, and even the tens of billions of global viewers, as if they had seen a ghost.

The Third Prince of the Qin Family, Qin Wushuang, who had just been hysterically inciting the crowd, his expression still held that venom and smugness.

Then, his Physical Body, without even a single scream, began to... decompose from the most minute genetic level.

As if he had vanished into thin air.

As if an invisible hand had forcibly erased him from this world's tapestry.

His luxurious princely attire, his powerful S-Rank Physical Body, his unwilling Soul... everything, under that silent ultrasonic attack, was completely and cleanly decomposed into the most primitive, unobservable elementary particles.

Finally, turning into a wisp of... smoke that scattered with the wind.

Killing one of his most favored sons right in front of the Head of the Qin Family!

What dominance!

What protectiveness!

What... unreasonableness!

Having done all this, that cold electronic synthetic voice, as if it had only done a trivial matter, no longer sounded, as if it had never appeared.

The entire Taihe Hall Plaza fell into an absolute silence, deeper and more terrifying than ever before.

Qin Zheng, the Head of the Qin Family, stared blankly at the spot where his son had just stood. All the anger and all the Divine Might had vanished from his majestic face.

In their place was an incredibly complex, distorted expression, a mixture of extreme rage and extreme fear.

He slowly, slowly turned his head, his abyss-like eyes fixed intently on Lin Tian, who had simply watched everything calmly from beginning to end, as if nothing concerned him.
