423: One finger explosion

“Utterly audacious!”

Immortal Revered Dan Ding's phantom was also utterly stunned after hearing those words, then immediately roared in anger.

Although he couldn't quite discern the exact strength of the person before him, the other party's words showed not the slightest regard for him, which was unprecedented.

When Immortal Revered Dan Ding was at his peak, even other Immortal Venerables showed him three parts respect, not to mention his extremely high attainments in the path of alchemy. Countless people wished to befriend him.

Now, even if he was only in a soul state and his physical body was absent, with his control over the secret treasure, he might not even fear a Quasi-Immortal Exalted.

Moreover, he simply didn't believe the other party was an Immortal Venerable-level expert; otherwise, he couldn't have failed to sense it.

Most importantly, the secret realm had restrictions, and experts beyond the three-step leap couldn't enter at all.

Even if the other party used some special means to sneak in, on his territory, they could only bow down in submission.

“This Venerable wants to see what abilities you possess!”

Immortal Revered Dan Ding's phantom knew the other party meant trouble, so he didn't engage in any more pointless verbal sparring. Immediately, a pressure even stronger than before emanated from his body.

The crowd in the arena was all terrified at the sight, realizing that the other party had not used his full strength earlier. They had been naive to think they had a chance to defeat him.

Immortal Revered Dan Ding's phantom didn't hesitate. In an instant, he conjured a giant alchemy cauldron formed by spiritual power, which floated in the sky, trailing wisps of divine fire.

Everyone was familiar with the appearance of this cauldron; it was a miniature version of the Divine Cauldron Mountain outside the secret treasure space.

The giant cauldron hummed, and the eyes of the dragon and phoenix carvings were lit up by firelight, as if they had come to life, appearing particularly mystical.

“Suppress!”

With a soft shout from Immortal Revered Dan Ding, the giant cauldron quickly pressed down towards Lin Yan, like an unshakeable primeval divine mountain.

Even more terrifying, crimson flames coiled around the divine mountain, seemingly capable of incinerating everything.

With both combined, the terrifying might made everyone in the arena gasp for breath.

But facing the cauldron about to descend upon his head, Lin Yan didn't even lift his head, only a subtle divine light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, an invisible fluctuation continuously spread out from around him, causing the void to crack inch by inch, like ripples.

When these ripples touched the cauldron, its originally unstoppable massive form actually paused slightly, unable to advance an inch.

Immortal Revered Dan Ding frowned and roared, vast spiritual power surging and pouring into the cauldron, causing it to show signs of movement again.

But before he could show joy, to everyone's horrified gazes, the ripples once again spread out, passing directly through the cauldron phantom.

Bang.

Immediately after, the cauldron abruptly solidified, its divine fire dissipated, and then it was swallowed by nothingness, as if it had never appeared.

This!

Immortal Revered Dan Ding's aged face was filled with shock, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, seemingly in disbelief.

“How is this possible!”

He muttered to himself in a trembling voice.

“Weak, too weak!”

Lin Yan didn't care what the other party was thinking at the moment. He shook his head gently, feeling bored.

He immediately stopped delaying, pointing out a spiritual light finger that struck Immortal Revered Dan Ding's phantom as fast as lightning.

Bang.

The next moment, the phantom exploded into a cluster of light particles, drifting in the void.

Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment; this outcome was completely different from what they had imagined.

Immortal Revered Dan Ding, who had been so mighty just moments before, was so easily annihilated?

Especially the Elder in Luxurious Clothing and the Second Prince Wu Xiao of the Holy Martial Dynasty, their bodies inexplicably trembled, and their expressions became extremely fearful.

They knew that their previous actions had pushed themselves against everyone. With Immortal Revered Dan Ding's death, their fate was obvious.

Sure enough, after a brief moment of shock, everyone's gazes converged on the Holy Martial Dynasty One line, their killing intent overflowing.

The leading elder of the Shan Hai Sword Sect suddenly burst into laughter, then roared, “Heaven has eyes! What your Holy Martial Dynasty has done is intolerable to heaven and earth. Today, this old man will surely kill you!”

However, strangely, this time, no one responded. He looked back and found that many people's faces were hesitant, and they no longer had the desperate intent they had before.

Soon, he understood the reason. If they knew they were going to die, they would dare to drag the other party down with them, but now that they had survived, they had reservations.

After all, if they really killed the Holy Martial Dynasty and its entourage, once the Holy Martial Emperor learned of it, the forces behind them would all be purged.

After all, facing an Immortal Venerable magnate, even a super force had no power to resist.

“If you don't dare, then this old man will do it!”

The elder did not give up on this plan and continued, his demeanor quite admirable.

“Oh, this old man is good, he has backbone.”

Lin Yan had been quietly observing from the void after annihilating Immortal Revered Dan Ding.

Big Yellow Dog also expressed his appreciation after seeing the Shan Hai Sword Sect elder's performance.

As for the reactions of the others, it was actually understandable, as this world was inherently one where the strong reigned supreme.

The Holy Martial Dynasty was powerful, so they naturally didn't dare to offend them. They had to consider the forces behind them, even if not for themselves.

Xing Yichen, standing nearby, also nodded slightly and said, “The Shan Hai Sword Sect is unyielding and is an ally of my Star River Immortal Sect. It's not surprising for them to act this way.”

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with killing intent as he looked at the Elder in Luxurious Clothing.

Wu Xiao and the Elder in Luxurious Clothing of the Holy Martial Dynasty couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the sight, a smug smile even appearing at the corners of their mouths.

But before the two could be smug for too long, another voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a middle-aged woman step forward, her gaze fearless, and she spoke calmly, “My Zi Luo Sect is willing to accompany fellow Daoist of Shan Hai Sword Sect to kill the enemy!”

These words were firm and powerful, surprising many people.

Soon, they understood. The Zi Luo Sect was a force from the Azure Blue Sacred Domain and had an extremely close relationship with an Immortal Venerable, no wonder they feared no one from the Holy Martial Dynasty.

“Good!”

The elder of the Shan Hai Sword Sect also showed a slight smile at the sight; he was not alone in his path.

With the Zi Luo Sect's response, soon, a force from the Xuanji Domain also stepped forward. The force behind him also had the backing of an Immortal Venerable, and likewise did not fear the Holy Martial Dynasty.

Could it be that the Holy Martial Emperor could simultaneously offend several Immortal Venerables of the same level?

Most importantly, the Immortal Venerables of the Five Great Sacred Domains were not harmonious, and relations between different domains were even more strained.

The situations varied. The three Immortal Venerables of the Divine Light Domain were each allied with themselves, while the Azure Blue Domain and Xuanji Domain had formed alliances.

If the Holy Martial Emperor wanted to go to the Azure Blue Domain and Xuanji Domain to cause trouble for the Zi Luo Sect and the other sect.

At that time, they would face not just one Immortal Venerable, but three Immortal Venerables. This was the source of their confidence, their confidence in not fearing the Holy Martial Emperor.
