306: Heroic Spirits

"Junior, if you have any other tricks up your sleeve, you had better use them now."

Flame Demon Heavenly King crossed his arms and looked at Lin Yang with cold indifference.

"The Immortal King is truly troublesome..."

Sensing the trace of contempt in Flame Demon Heavenly King's eyes, Lin Yang let out a soft sigh.

However, there was no fear in his eyes, because just moments ago, the System had sent another notification: his Faith Points had accumulated to thirty million!

"I originally wanted to compete with you as an ordinary Cultivator, but I didn't expect to be looked down upon so much by you. Since that's the case, I won't pretend anymore! Ultimate emperor armor—Body Integration!"

Lin Yang grinned, immediately deducted thirty million Faith Points, and redeemed the ultimate emperor stone from the System store. After it underwent Fusion with the emperor belt, a dazzling light burst forth instantly.

The light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the Nine Heavens and the ten lands!

"This is..."

Watching the vast fluctuations emanating from within the light, a look of gravity appeared in Flame Demon Heavenly King's eyes.

"Flame Demon Heavenly King, your death date has arri..."

Lin Yang pointed a finger, but his pupils suddenly widened as he discovered that no armor was attached to his arms.

Looking down, he realized that although the emperor belt had erupted with dazzling light, it had not summoned the ultimate emperor armor to achieve Fusion as he had wished.

"System, where is my armor?"

Ten thousand question marks filled Lin Yang's mind.

[Master, the ultimate emperor armor requires a pure Five Elements Bloodline to complete Body Integration.]

"What!? How could you not tell me such an important thing earlier!" Lin Yang's eye twitched violently.

[Given that this was a mistake caused by this System failing to remind the Master earlier, the redemption price for the Five Elements Bloodline can be offered at a steep discount; it only requires ten million to redeem immediately!]

"Ten million!? System, are you trying to kill me? Where am I supposed to scrape together ten million Faith Points for you at a time like this!"

[Then I am unable to help.]

Lin Yang: "I % / # @ * * *"

Just as Lin Yang's face was covered in black lines, his heart suddenly tightened. He looked up and saw Flame Demon Heavenly King staring at him with a ghostly gaze.

"Your Excellency Heavenly King, why don't we... stop here and fight another day?" Lin Yang asked with a bitter face.

Flame Demon Heavenly King remained indifferent, simply looking at Lin Yang coldly. Suddenly, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

Boom!

The next moment, Flame Demon Heavenly King struck down with his palm. Instantly, mountains collapsed and the ground split; dark clouds pressed down upon the city, accompanied by lightning and thunder. It was like the arrival of the apocalypse, a terrifying sight.

"I'll risk it all!"

Seeing this, Lin Yang knew that there was absolutely no way to end this peacefully today; only by fighting to the death with his back against the wall would there be a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Pfft!"

The firmament collapsed, the earth sank, and all things withered. Mountain after mountain crumbled, and dazzling blood spilled out, staining the broken mountains and rivers.

That was Lin Yang's Immortal Qi blood. Under the terrible offensive of Flame Demon Heavenly King, even his Indestructible Eleventh Heaven physique was severely injured.

In the end, he was severely wounded, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood continuously. Sheets of Immortal Qi blood spilled out, staining the Sea of All Things a deep crimson.

"Submit to me, change into the Bloodline of my Flame Demon Clan, and become my battle servant; perhaps I can spare your life."

After a fierce battle, Flame Demon Heavenly King actually started entertaining the thought of recruiting Lin Yang.

This was hardly surprising; after all, the Flame Demon Clan was now almost completely wiped out, with their top combat strength destroyed, leaving him as a lone ruler. To revitalize the clan, he needed powerful helpers.

If Lin Yang were willing, he wouldn't mind giving him a way to survive.

"In your dreams!"

However, Lin Yang's answer was resolute; he would rather die in battle than kneel and beg for his life.

"Then go to Hell!"

Flame Demon Heavenly King's eyes turned cold suddenly; he had completely lost patience with Lin Yang.

"If you want to kill me, you'll have to pay the price!"

Lin Yang roared, burning his essential blood. Things had reached this point, and he could only fight for his life against Flame Demon Heavenly King. Even if he were to truly die in battle, he would make Flame Demon Heavenly King pay a sufficiently heavy price.

Rumble!

The two collided like two stars meeting in the Universe. In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth split, ghosts wept and gods howled, and the Void Realm shattered in large swathes, pouring out countless Chaos Qi. All sorts of strange phenomena appeared, as if the gates of Hell had been thrown wide open; the scene was terrifying.

In the end, the firmament was pierced through, and the earth was constantly sinking and collapsing.

Sacred Immortal Qi and eerie mist surged and clashed together, raging across the heavens and the earth.

Crack!

Suddenly, a bolt of blood-red lightning streaked across the Void Realm, followed by a torrential downpour that fell with a rustling sound.

What was eerie was that the rain was entirely blood-red, like the blood of countless living beings.

On the ground, some of the ruined mountain peaks began to glow after being soaked by the blood rain. These were the places previously stained by the Immortal Qi blood that Lin Yang had spilled. Now, after being showered by the blood rain, the two types of blood seemed to resonate in a strange way, triggering astonishing phenomena in heaven and earth.

"Heavenly Weeping?"

Such a phenomenon caused even Flame Demon Heavenly King to pause in shock and doubt.

This world was weeping, bleeding!

"For an outsider?"

Flame Demon Heavenly King frowned slightly, looking at the tenacious and unyielding young man before him in confusion.

This person was clearly not a primitive living being of the Sea of All Things; why would this world produce a scene of wailing for his impending fall?

At this moment, a sense of inexplicable sadness arose in Lin Yang's heart, and he was infected by an unusually oppressive emotion.

He looked up and saw that above the horizon, there were suddenly giant faces appearing one after another, all gazing at him.

Those people, men and women, old and young, as well as strong youths, all bore blood and tears.

"It's the predecessors of the Sea of All Things who once died in battle at the hands of the Flame Demons!"

In the Holy City team, someone exclaimed, recognizing their own ancestors among those faces and quickly deducing the identity of these people.

"We were incompetent and could not defend our homeland. Everyone died in battle, causing the mountains and rivers to fall, and our people to become slaves. We... have failed our descendants."

Faintly, Lin Yang heard such whispers, filled with sorrow, as well as deep powerlessness and self-reproach.

Heaven and earth wailed. Those deceased predecessors of the Sea of All Things had turned into Heroic Spirits after death and were weeping. They were unwilling to perish in despair just like that; if no one could stop the invasion of the Flame Demon Clan, the entire world would fall into darkness forever, until it was completely destroyed.

They prayed to the heavens, hoping for a savior to descend and rescue the living beings of this world from their plight.

For this, they were willing to pay any price.

Boom!

Just at this moment, Lin Yang suddenly felt something in his heart. His brow burned, and a ray of light shot out, reaching the firmament and illuminating the Void Realm for thousands of miles.

"great ancient!"

That was the great ancient name personally inscribed for him by the Dragon God. Lin Yang had never figured out the usage of this great ancient name. At this moment, after those Heroic Spirits of the Sea of All Things manifested, the great ancient name also emerged, branded into the Void Realm, resonating with those Heroic Spirits.

"Dragon God, was this also within your foresight?"

Seeing this strange situation, Lin Yang's eyes flickered, and he suddenly understood something in his heart.

"Savior from afar, please accept our dying wish and use our power to save this world!"

Just then, those Heroic Spirits faced Lin Yang, issuing their request in a solemn and grave voice.

Looking at the countless deep and fervent faces of the Heroic Spirits above the horizon, Lin Yang took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Very well!"
