340: Scene in the Black Tower

Crack.

Under the terrified gazes of countless people, the massive giant finger directly crushed the Imperial Dynasty’s grand formation, appearing to meet no resistance whatsoever.

The formation, which had previously been strong enough to withstand the spiritual attacks of a late-stage Immortal King, seemed extraordinarily fragile and unbearable in the hands of the black-clothed young man.

After shattering the formation, the giant finger abruptly vanished. Lin Yan glanced at the people beside him, then took the lead and strode into the Imperial Dynasty.

The dozens of figures were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak, much less to obstruct. They watched helplessly as the group proceeded towards the depths of the Imperial Dynasty.

There was nothing they could do; the scene just now was too shocking. If they went up now, wouldn't they just be offering themselves up? Even if they sought death, this wasn't the way.

Just as they thought they had escaped a calamity, a dark-red long spear streaked across the sky and landed heavily among them. Instantly, dozens of people turned into dust and were annihilated before they could even scream.

Even the Quasi Immortal King leading them had no power to resist and perished along with them.

The remnant Immortal King soul seemed to be crushed by the last straw, completely losing its vitality.

Gulp.

The onlookers exchanged glances, and many swallowed their saliva, realizing that the authority of this Imperial Dynasty's new ruler might be shaken again today, or even overthrown once more.

Beside Lin Yan, Chen Tiankuang couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart as he watched the Abyss Lord indifferently retrieve his long spear.

Indeed, anyone not in the Immortal King Realm is an ant; even a Quasi Immortal King has no room to resist before a true Immortal King.

He was not lacking in comprehension now; after this matter was settled, he would not emerge from seclusion until he stepped into the Immortal King Realm!

Lin Yan's vast divine sense swept out, and he discovered a peculiar point: the spiritual energy of the entire Imperial Dynasty seemed to be absorbed by the black giant tower at its very center, which was the gathering point.

He didn't hesitate and walked directly towards the black giant tower. If he wasn't mistaken, that should be the location of the Dark Prison Emperor.

Just as they were about to approach, powerful auras suddenly erupted from various parts of the Imperial Dynasty, no weaker than the late-stage Immortal King who had appeared earlier in Yun Yi's presence.

Are there three more late-stage powerhouses?

What a strong foundation!

Yun Yi and the Star Lord and Abyss Lord exchanged glances, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. No wonder they could overthrow the Heavenly Universe Emperor; they had as many as four late-stage Immortal Kings.

The three powerhouses directly blocked the path between the group and the black tower, each with a solemn expression, showing no hint of underestimation.

One of them shouted in a low voice, "Retreat quickly before His Majesty the Emperor gets angry!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tiankuang looked at the other party as if he were an idiot and said in surprise, "Are all of you from the Dark Prison Dynasty out of your minds? We're here to cause trouble, and you're still spouting nonsense."

"Let me guess, is your so-called damn Emperor doing something unspeakable, which is why he hasn't appeared yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a subtle change in the expressions of the three, which would have been extremely difficult to detect if Chen Tiankuang hadn't been secretly observing them without a trace.

"It seems I guessed correctly, huh? Let me guess again, it should be in that black tower, right?"

The expressions of the three gradually darkened, but they seemed somewhat apprehensive. Finally, they appeared to have made a decision.

In an instant, they formed a battle formation and jointly attacked Lin Yan, who was the most inscrutable among the group.

The power of that aura was so strong that it approached another level, that is, the peak of the Immortal King Realm, enough to severely wound any late-stage powerhouse.

Seeing this, Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, tried to mobilize the power within his body, and clenched his hand towards the void where the few were located.

Bang.

The next moment, the three, along with the attacks they unleashed, shattered into nothingness, leaving no trace of their souls.

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

Chen Tiankuang and the three from Yun Yi gasped, though they knew Lin Yan was very strong, this scene was truly too shocking.

Three late-stage Immortal Kings, existences high above, perished on the spot in an instant.

And the onlookers watching from afar were all dumbfounded, staring at everything in disbelief.

There was no weak person present, and coupled with the fact that this place was not far from the depths of the Imperial Dynasty and the formation was broken, everything was clearly visible.

Today, the rule of the Dark Prison Dynasty might truly be coming to an end!

Almost everyone had the same thought in their hearts.

Lin Yan looked at his palm. He had only mobilized a trace more power than usual, but he didn't expect such might. It seemed his strength was far greater than he had imagined.

He arrived at the depths of the Imperial Dynasty in a few steps, and the black tower was fully presented before his eyes, soaring into the clouds, surrounded by a chilling aura, extremely eerie.

Inside, there seemed to be a heart, thumping, and the fluctuations grew stronger, as if sensing the approach of danger.

Lin Yan raised his right foot and gently stomped on the void. Instantly, an invisible wave spread out, targeting the mysterious black tower.

Crack, crack.

The black tower couldn't bear the weight. The seemingly indestructible black stone turned into dust and dissipated, and the runes shattered. In just a few breaths, it completely disappeared.

The hidden contents were also revealed to the world. At the bottom of the original black tower was a pool of blood, bubbling with blood foam.

To call it a blood pool was in relation to the massive black tower; its volume could rival some large lakes.

To form such a huge and pure blood pool, one could imagine how many living beings and powerhouses the Dark Prison Dynasty had slaughtered.

Above the blood pool, there was an enormous dark-red heart, dozens of feet in size, that beat violently every few seconds.

Thump, thump.

The heart suddenly beat, causing the entire world to tremble slightly, and almost everyone in more than half of the divine dynasty sensed it.

Presumably, the massive mysterious black tower from before was used to isolate the aura of the heart and the blood pool.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Chen Tiankuang exclaimed as he came beside Lin Yan. The thumping sound just now seemed to stir the blood qi within him, making him somewhat restless.

Yun Yi and the Star Lord and Abyss Lord frowned tightly, gravely looking at this bizarre scene.

Outside the Imperial Dynasty's grand formation, many powerhouses had appeared at some point, some of whom had auras no less than the Immortal King Realm. They were likely the top figures from the subordinate family forces, drawn by this sudden upheaval.

They, too, looked solemnly at the blood pool and the heart, seemingly connecting it to something, their eyes filled with surprise and anger.

Presumably, the essence blood of those powerhouses who were sacrificed back then was all in that massive blood pool. Besides that, there must have been massacres they didn't know about, otherwise, this scene couldn't have formed.

Yun Yi suddenly spoke, "It seems this Dark Prison Emperor wants to use the power of blood sacrifice to help himself break through to the legendary Immortal Emperor Realm!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the original Heavenly Universe Emperor did not die but is still at the bottom of this blood pool, providing nourishment to the other party."

Based on all the existing clues, he had almost guessed the general outline of the matter.
