358: Crisis is coming, terrifying backhand

The Middle-aged man on the Golden-backed Python Bull and the Bewitching Youth had surrounded the two, one in front and one behind. Old Chu's expression was grim; he dared not be negligent when facing two powerhouses of the same level.

Chen Tiankuang, on the other hand, appeared relatively calm, looking as if the sky could fall and his expression wouldn't change.

Only the phantom in the Immortal Carriage remained unseen, unwilling to participate in the matter, observing with cold eyes.

Upon seeing the Remnant Soul Elder, Lin Yan, and an unfamiliar youth appear, Old Chu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. Chen Tiankuang even shouted provocatively:

"You two shameless fellows, my big brother is here! Prepare to surrender and be executed!"

Lin Yan and the two elders immediately understood the reason for this incident: they must have seen that Lin Yan hadn't appeared and feared he would seize the opportunity.

However, what puzzled them was that, logically, if the opponents could cultivate to the Quasi Immortal Emperor level and knew that Lin Yan was the one who ultimately obtained the inheritance, then with his strength demonstrated in the combat trial, why would he be so reckless?

Perhaps there was something they didn't understand, maybe he had a hidden trump card.

The Middle-aged man on the Golden-backed Python Bull and the Bewitching Youth couldn't help but look towards the three who had arrived, immediately confirming their earlier thoughts.

If all went as expected, this mysterious black-clothed youth should have obtained the inheritance of the Immortal God Sect.

The Remnant Soul Elder's eyes turned sharp, and he rebuked, "What is the meaning of this, you two? The inheritance of our sect goes to the capable. Do you intend to plunder it?"

Hearing this, the Middle-aged man remained silent, while the Bewitching Youth showed a faint smile and said calmly,

"Senior, you exaggerate. You yourself said that the capable obtain it. Since we possess this ability, why can't we claim it for ourselves?"

The Bewitching Youth's behavior was very strange; he seemed to have nothing to fear and openly expressed his desire to compete for it.

The Remnant Soul Elder was even more puzzled. The opponent had clearly been eliminated in the combat assessment, which meant his strength was definitely far inferior to Lin Yan's. Why was he still acting as if he had them completely cornered?

"Elder, since the other party is so stubborn, allow me to take action and finish them!"

The youth beside him, his eyes filled with murderous intent, requested permission from the Remnant Soul Elder.

"Very well, let's finish this quickly!"

The latter nodded. Although they would soon dissipate, it did not hinder their ability to exert their remaining power. As former powerhouses above the Immortal Emperor Realm, even a Remnant Soul possessed unimaginable might.

The next moment, the youth's figure gradually solidified, his aura surging outwards, and a momentum surpassing that of a Quasi Immortal Emperor suddenly filled the entire colossal plaza.

He radiated divine light, approaching the two step by step, causing the other Immortal King powerhouses in the arena to tremble, finding it difficult to bear this immense pressure.

Old Chu, carrying Chen Tiankuang, flashed to the side, avoiding being affected.

Seeing this, the Middle-aged man on the Golden-backed Python Bull and the Bewitching Youth showed no fear. They exchanged a subtle glance, and a strange arc curved at the corners of their mouths.

Boom.

The youth of the Immortal God Sect was as fast as lightning. He casually unleashed two fist imprints towards the two, causing thunderous explosions and spatial fragmentation throughout the dilapidated sect.

But just as the fist imprints were about to reach the two, the Middle-aged man and the Bewitching Youth each extended a palm to block them, easily fending off the attack.

What?

Everyone in the arena exclaimed in shock, never expecting such a result. Even the mist outside the Immortal Carriage pulled by the Flame Divine Steed churned, enough to reveal the fluctuations in its owner's heart.

Old Chu frowned even tighter, somewhat confused. In his perception, these two were clearly only Quasi Immortal Emperors, at the same realm as him, and it should have been impossible for them to block that attack.

Hmm?

The youth of the Immortal God Sect was very surprised to see the two's abnormality. Although the strength he displayed was only that of an Early-stage Immortal Emperor, defeating two Quasi Immortal Emperors should have been effortless.

But now... "Hahaha, that person truly didn't deceive us. Is this the power of the Immortal Emperor Realm? It's truly intoxicating."

The Bewitching Youth's expression was one of pleasant surprise. He looked at his hands, feeling the power within him, and chuckled sinisterly.

The Middle-aged man on the Golden-backed Python Bull also wore a look of satisfaction.

Seeing this, everyone present could feel that something was amiss. From the words of the two, they detected an unusual undertone.

Coupled with their current state, it was as if they were experiencing this power for the first time. But what exactly could help two Quasi Immortal Emperors cross the threshold and possess Immortal Emperor-level combat power?

The Remnant Soul Elder's gaze had been fixed on the two, and only now did he realize something, coldly shouting,

"No wonder you two are so delusional. So you borrowed his power."

"I never thought he would still have power remaining in the world. His schemes are truly meticulous to the extreme."

The Remnant Soul Elder's expression at this moment was very grim, a look he hadn't shown before. Lin Yan, watching from the side, was also somewhat curious about this.

One must know that on the eighth floor, he had clearly felt the might of the Remnant Soul Elder in his prime, which was absolutely second only to the Immortal God Sect Master.

Something that could move him to such an extent could only be... As expected, as the Remnant Soul Elder's words fell, wisps of black energy suddenly emerged from the Middle-aged man on the Golden-backed Python Bull and the Bewitching Youth.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, it transformed into a phantom, its figure colossal, its face indistinct.

As he appeared, the sky above the entire sect immediately became overcast, lightning flashed, carrying an extremely terrifying supreme aura.

You!

Seeing this person, the Remnant Soul Elder and the youth of the Immortal God Sect's expressions changed drastically, as if they had witnessed something incredible.

Then, the Remnant Soul Elder trembled all over, his killing intent overflowing, saying, "You truly are full of schemes. Not only did you destroy us, but you even deliberately left behind a wisp of divine consciousness, attempting to find the Immortal God Art. Today, this old man will definitely not let you have your way again!"

Lin Yan also recognized the other party's identity: he was the terrifying enemy who claimed to be 'this venerable one' in the scene on the eighth floor. According to the current situation, coupled with the Remnant Soul Elder's request,

This person's true body should not have perished with the Immortal God Sect; he should have personally destroyed the latter. He probably didn't get what he wanted, which was the Immortal God Art.

He had actually laid a trap in this ruin, secretly observing the appearance of the Immortal God Art. He was indeed a formidable enemy.

The colossal figure, dominating the universe, spoke coldly, "A defeated general, how can you speak of valor? If I could destroy you once, I can naturally destroy you a second time."

"If this venerable one hadn't anticipated this earlier, you Immortal God Sect would have continued to linger on."

As he spoke, Lin Yan also felt a gaze from the other party sweep over him.

"Arrogant! You are nothing more than a faint wisp of divine consciousness. After such a long passage of time, how much strength do you still possess?"

The Remnant Soul Elder sneered, but his eyes were incredibly solemn. He was not confident he could restrain the other party, but even if it meant mutual destruction, he would not hesitate.
