178: Chapter 178 Guided by the Emperor's Soul, the Banner Evolves Once Again!

The soldiers of the Zhentian Army began a carpet-style looting and massacre.

"No! That is our Lin Clan's Scripture Pavilion! You group of bandits!"

An Elder of the Lin Clan, with hair and beard all white, watched as a group of Zhentian Army soldiers violently broke through the Scripture Pavilion's Restrictions.

They were carrying out boxes upon boxes of ancient scrolls that were piled up like mountains inside.

His eyes nearly split in rage, and he spat out a mouthful of heart's blood.

Responding to him was a cold battle halberd.

Puchi!

A crisp sound echoed.

His heart was easily pierced through, leaving him with no life left.

"Stop! That is our Old Ancestor's medicinal garden!"

On the other side, several Lin Clan disciples responsible for guarding the medicinal garden watched.

Their hearts bled as they saw the Zhentian Army soldiers roughly uprooting Immortal Herbs that had grown for hundreds of thousands of years.

They rushed forward with bloodshot eyes, only to be directly shaken into a blood mist by an invisible wave of Qi.

Despair!

The most absolute despair!

In the face of absolute power.

All anger and unwillingness seemed so pale and powerless.

Qin Yu sat high above the heavens, coldly looking down at all of this.

The screams and wails reaching his ears were incredibly pleasant to him.

He liked this feeling.

The feeling of taking an ancient race that was once high and mighty.

And stepping on them completely, having the sense of control to ravage them at will.

It made every pore of his body relax with comfort.

This bloody feast lasted for two full hours.

The once brilliant and prosperous Lin Clan ancestral land had now been reduced to a burning ruin.

Accumulations of an eternity were gone in a single day.

Just then.

Deep within the Chaos above the Nine Heavens, that world-shaking Imperial War also underwent a new change.

Boom!

A loud noise that shook the Universe arrived.

Within the chaotic airflow, Qin Huangtian threw a punch.

The peerlessly overbearing fist force directly caused the Imperial Body of a Lin Clan Ancient Ancestor to crack apart.

Pitch-black Imperial Blood scattered through the Chaos as if it were worthless.

For the first time, fear and the desire to retreat appeared in that Ancient Ancestor's eyes.

He was afraid.

This man from the Lower Realm before him was not human at all.

He was a complete madman, an incomprehensible monster!

If he kept fighting, he would truly die!

"Go!"

The Ancient Ancestor felt the urge to retreat, no longer caring about his dignity as an Emperor.

He frantically burned his Imperial Blood, forcibly tearing open a rift to an unknown void, turning around to flee.

At the very moment he turned around.

Below, above those ruins, Qin Yu, who had been coldly watching the battle, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

In those deep eyes, a flash of extreme excitement appeared, like a hunter discovering prey.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a grim arc.

"Want to run?"

"Have you received This Divine Son's permission?"

His gaze instantly locked onto the fleeing imperial figure.

Qin Yu's cold voice, tinged with a hint of playfulness.

It was like a demonic sound from the Nine Serenities, echoing clearly within the Chaos beyond the heavens.

The Divine Soul of the Lin Clan Ancient Ancestor, whose Imperial Body was cracking and who was frantically burning blood to escape, suddenly shuddered.

He subconsciously looked back.

He only saw a figure soaring into the sky from the burning ruins below.

Fast!

Fast to the extreme!

That figure seemed to ignore the distance of time and space.

In just a flash of thought, he arrived later but struck first, boldly intercepting the escape route!

It was Qin Yu!

"A junior in the Saint Realm... dares to block me?"

The Lin Clan Ancient Ancestor was both shocked and enraged.

His supreme dignity as an Emperor made him feel an unprecedented humiliation.

Even if heavily injured, he was still a Great Emperor!

Crushing a Saint Realm ant was still effortless!

"Begone!"

He roared, gathering what little Imperial Dao Laws he had left in his palm, striking fiercely at Qin Yu.

However, what greeted him was the Battle Intent and madness in Qin Yu's eyes that was so thick it wouldn't disperse.

Boom!

Qin Yu did not dodge at all, his Saint Peak cultivation exploding without reservation at this moment!

Jie Character Secret!

Tenfold combat power, instantly triggered!

A terrifying aura ten times more overbearing than before soared from within his body.

It forcibly dispersed the Imperial Dao Laws struck out by the Ancient Ancestor!

At the same time.

At the other end of the Chaos beyond the heavens, the other two Lin Clan Great Emperors battling Qin Huangtian also noticed their companion's intention.

They looked at each other, both harboring the intent to retreat.

This Patriarch of the Qin Family was as strong as a monster!

If they kept fighting, the three of them might truly all fall here today!

"Retreat!"

One of them roared, also burning Imperial Blood to manifest a life-saving Divine Ability.

He fled miserably toward the depths of the void in another direction.

Seeing this, the arc of Qin Yu's mouth widened even further.

"Very good, the other one has moved too."

"In that case, I'll take them all down in one go!"

His ambition and ruthlessness were fully revealed at this moment!

He actually wanted to rely on his own power to hunt two Great Emperors simultaneously!

"Chaos Return to Ruins, Open!"

Qin Yu let out a long howl to the sky, and the purple-black giant banner in his hand suddenly unfurled!

Buzz—

A terrifying demonic might that could swallow the heavens and earth instantly enveloped this chaotic region.

That ominous banner, a half-step Immortal Artifact, turned into a massive demonic curtain that obscured the sun.

The pressure emanating from it actually forcibly locked down the surrounding time and space!

The two Lin Clan Great Emperors who were about to flee felt their bodies stiffen.

As if they had fallen into a thick mire, their speed suddenly dropped drastically.

"What Magic Treasure is this!"

"A half-step Immortal Artifact!?"

Both of them screamed in extreme horror at the same time, their eyes filled with incomprehensible fear.

A junior from the Lower Realm not only had Heaven-Defying combat power himself.

But he actually held such a forbidden object in his hands!

However, what made their souls scatter even more was yet to come.

As the demonic curtain fully unfurled.

On the surface of the banner, countless shrill and twisted faces began to emerge.

Those were the Children of Destiny who had been personally killed by Qin Yu and refined into the banner!

Xiao Fan, Wang Teng, Gu Changge, Ji Haoyue...

Their primary souls were pushed to the limit, their eyes flashing with endless resentment and madness as they let out ear-piercing roars.

"New ones have come!"

"Come join us!"

"Let us all fall into eternal perdition together!"

The shrill chorus composed of billions of souls turned into the most terrifying Divine Soul attack.

It fiercely battered the already heavily injured Imperial Souls of the two Great Emperors.

Countless pitch-black chains condensed from Soul Power shot out from the banner's surface.

Like tentacles from Hell, they tightly coiled toward the two Great Emperors.

"Ah!"

"Brat, how dare you!"

The two Lin Clan Great Emperors let out roars of shock and anger.

They frantically pushed their Imperial Bodies, trying to break free from this demonic domain.

However, under the frantic consumption of the chaos return to ruins banner and Qin Yu's tenfold combat power.

All their resistance appeared so pale and powerless.

Their Imperial Dao Laws were easily obliterated by the increasingly solid Immortal Dao Chains on the banner's surface.

Their Imperial Blood was frantically drained by that endless suction.

"No! This Emperor is not reconciled!"

The Ancient Ancestor who had been the first to flee let out a howl of despair.

He was a high and mighty Great Emperor, a supreme powerhouse who looked down on the rise and fall of eras!

How could he die so aggrievedly at the hands of a Saint Realm junior!

His final rationality was swallowed by madness, and his Imperial Soul ignited.

Turning into a ball of light capable of destroying the heavens and earth, he wanted to self-detonate!

"In front of This Divine Son, you don't even have the qualification to self-detonate!"

Qin Yu snorted coldly, and within his eyes, the light of Nirvana flashed and disappeared.

A supreme power targeted at the Divine Soul descended.

The Ancient Ancestor's burning Imperial Soul was like having a basin of cold water splashed on it, instantly withering.

At the very moment this final resistance vanished.

The suction on the banner's surface suddenly surged!

"No!!!"

Amidst a wail that resounded through the entire Universe's Chaos, filled with endless despair and unwillingness.

The Lin Clan Ancient Ancestor's Imperial Body was forcibly dragged into the pitch-black vortex at the center of the banner.

Following that, was the second one.

Two Great Emperor powerhouses who had awed the ancient times, under the watchful eyes of the public.

Were refined by Qin Yu into nourishment for his Magic Treasure in the most cruel and overbearing manner.

Their wails echoed in the Chaos for a long time.

Becoming the final judgment of this expedition.
