132: Chapter 132 Bloodbath in the Immortal Capital, The Holy Lord Descends to Earth
The Void-Shattering Sword Vessel was a top-grade flying Magic Treasure treasured by the Tiannan Sword Sect, renowned for its speed and ability to pierce through space. When fully unleashed, its speed was comparable to a Peak Void Refining Cultivator flying at full strength. Innumerable complex sword Dao runes were engraved upon the vessel, its hull resembling an unsheathed sharp sword that tore through the sky. Wherever it passed, clouds dispersed and mist scattered, leaving faint ripples in space.
Even so, traveling from the eastern region where the Tiannan Sword Sect was located to the Yanhuang Immortal Capital at the core of the Central State still took a considerable amount of time. Along the way, everyone aboard the sword vessel witnessed the tragic sight of shattered mountains and rivers, with smoke and fire rising from all sides. Countless Mortal cities were reduced to ruins, Cultivator gathering grounds were turned into battlefields, and the sky was shrouded by dark red spatial rifts and filthy black Qi, with a thick stench of blood and decay permeating the air. The once prosperous and peaceful Tiannan Realm had now become a living Hell.
"The Temple of Decay is truly intent on completely wiping out our Human Race's orthodoxies this time," an accompanying Sword Sect Elder said, his voice hoarse and his eyes filled with grief and indignation as he looked down at a Mortal city that had been completely destroyed, leaving behind nothing but broken walls and piles of white bones.
"They have colluded with fiends from both within and without to invoke the power of 'the end,' plotting something massive. I fear it's not just to occupy Tiannan, but more likely to sacrifice the billions of living beings in Tiannan to conduct some terrible ritual, ushering in the descent of the true 'end.'" Ye Qingxian stood at the bow of the vessel, her robes fluttering and her face cold as frost. Having accepted the Legacy of the 'Qingxian Sword Master,' she seemed to know more secrets regarding 'the end.'
Lin Wan remained silent. He recalled the 'heart of decay' in the 'Abyss of Buried Gods' and the horrifying truth about the shattering of the 'samsara mirror' and the birth of 'Annihilation.' If the source of 'the end' was truly related to the 'samsara mirror,' then the purpose of this 'Heaven-Burying' war was probably far more terrifying than imagined.
"Sect Master Ye, regarding the 'Holy Lord's' Clone, do you know his specific strength and methods?" Lin Wan asked. To know oneself and one's enemy is the only way to emerge victorious in every battle.
Ye Qingxian pondered for a moment and said, "According to the Alliance's intelligence, the 'Holy Lord' is the master of the 'Void Church' and one of the most active and powerful agents of 'the end' faction across the myriad worlds. The strength of his true body is unfathomable, at least at the True Immortal level, or perhaps even higher. The strength of his Clones varies depending on the amount of descended power. The Clone that descended upon Tiannan this time is rumored to have been condensed by the 'Holy Lord' using 'Void Divine Crystals' as a foundation and consuming his Origin will. His strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Peak 'King' rank, sitting between Void Refining and True Immortal. He can be referred to as a 'Quasi-Immortal' or 'half-Immortal.'"
"His methods primarily revolve around 'the end' Laws, such as 'Void,' 'Decay,' and 'Annihilation.' He is especially adept at 'Void Erosion,' which can assimilate all things and reduce them to nothingness. Once his 'Void Domain' is deployed, all tangible and intangible things within the Domain will gradually disintegrate, decay, and ultimately return to nothingness. An ordinary Void Refining Cultivator cannot last even a stick of incense's time within his Domain. What is more troublesome is that he seems to possess some sort of 'death-substitution' or 'redirection' secret technique, making him extremely difficult to kill completely. In previous small-scale clashes, several Elders of the Alliance joined forces to severely wound him, but he ultimately escaped each time using his secret techniques, only to return shortly after with his strength increased rather than diminished. He is incredibly difficult to deal with."
"'Quasi-Immortal... Void Domain... death-substitution secret technique...' Lin Wan's eyes narrowed slightly. This Clone of the 'Holy Lord' was indeed troublesome. The Dao principles of 'Void' he mastered sounded similar to 'Annihilation' but seemed even more bizarre, focusing more on 'erosion' and 'assimilation.' It was still unknown whether his newly comprehended true intent of 'Annihilation,' as well as the Dao rhymes of 'Chaos,' 'Reincarnation,' and 'Purification,' could counter his 'Void.' As for that 'death-substitution' secret technique, it was even more of a headache, meaning that defeating him and killing him were two entirely different things.
"'In addition, the 'Holy Lord's' Clone is guarded by at least four Peak 'King' rank 'Void Divine Generals,' with over ten ordinary 'King' rank experts at his disposal. For this siege of the Yanhuang Immortal Capital, most of these forces have likely gathered,' Ye Qingxian added, her tone solemn.
"'Four Peak 'King' rank divine generals, more than ten ordinary 'King' ranks, plus a 'Quasi-Immortal' level Holy Lord Clone...' Lin Wan calculated in his heart, feeling immense pressure. This was almost equivalent to the entire top-tier combat power of the 'Temple of Decay' on the surface turning out in full force, plus the trump card of the 'Holy Lord's' Clone. Although the Yanhuang Immortal Capital was guarded by top experts like Emperor Yan, the Pill Tower Master, the Earth Vein Sect Master, and the Heavenly Secret Pavilion Master, and possessed a grand defensive Formation accumulated by the Alliance over countless years, facing such a powerful enemy, they would likely face more doom than fortune.
"'We must arrive as quickly as possible; otherwise, once the Yanhuang Immortal Capital is breached, the consequences will be unimaginable.' Ye Qingxian looked into the distance, and the speed of the sword vessel increased by a few more notches.
...
A few days later, when the Void-Shattering Sword Vessel finally arrived at the core region of the Central State and the outline of the Tianyan Mountain Range, where the Yanhuang Immortal Capital was located, came into view from afar, the sight before them made everyone on the vessel gasp in shock.
The once Immortal Qi-shrouded, brilliantly radiant, and wonderland-like Yanhuang Immortal Capital was now enveloped by a gargantuan, dark-gold light barrier resembling an inverted glazed bowl—the 'Yantian Hunyuan Grand Formation,' the ultimate defensive grand Formation of the Yanhuang Immortal Capital. Yet at this moment, this immortal Formation, which was legendary for being able to withstand a strike from a True Immortal, was covered in dense cracks, its light dim and teetering on the verge of collapse. Outside the grand Formation, the sky was shrouded in a dense, pitch-black 'Void' that seemed capable of swallowing everything. Countless hideous monsters, decayed behemoths, and Cultivators of the 'Temple of Decay,' ghost Cultivators of the 'Yin Soul Hall,' bone Cultivators of the 'White Bone Demon Sect,' and assassins of the 'Seven Kills Tower' riding various evil Magic Treasures were constantly battering the grand Formation like a swarm of locusts blotting out the sun. Powerful aura after aura belonging to 'King' rank existences, emitting terrifying pressure, stood like beacons of war smoke amidst the 'Void,' continuously striking the grand Formation.
And in the deepest part of the 'Void,' a terrifying throne ten thousand feet high, condensed from pure, flowing pitch-black 'Void' power, quietly floated. Seated upon the throne was a figure shrouded in dense 'Void,' his face obscured, with only a pair of eyes burning with pale flames faintly visible. He exuded a terrifying aura that made heaven and earth tremble—it was none other than the 'Holy Lord' Clone! Around his throne, four massive figures clad in pitch-black heavy armor and holding hideous weapons, with towering auras, guarded him from all sides like the most loyal sentinels—the four 'Void Divine Generals.'
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The 'Holy Lord' Clone did not seem to take action personally, merely watching the battlefield with cold indifference. However, the four 'Void Divine Generals' under his command, along with over ten 'King' rank experts, were leading an army of billions, surging like a tide to attack the 'Yantian Hunyuan Grand Formation' wave after wave. Under such fierce assaults, the grand Formation shook violently. Formation bases were constantly breached, and more and more cracks appeared on the light barrier, the speed of repair falling far behind the speed of destruction. Within the grand Formation, the figures of countless Cultivators could be faintly seen doing their utmost to maintain the Formation and repair the damage, fiercely battling the monsters and evil Cultivators who occasionally breached the defenses and rushed inside. The sounds of shouting, explosions, and screams could be faintly heard even from a vast distance, incredibly tragic.
"'The grand Formation... is about to collapse.' Ye Qingxian's expression was extremely grim. She could feel that the aura of the 'Yantian Hunyuan Grand Formation' was rapidly weakening; clearly, the core energy supporting the Formation was nearing depletion. Once the grand Formation was breached, the billions of living beings inside the Yanhuang Immortal Capital, including the core of the Alliance like Emperor Yan and the Pill Tower Master, would directly face the slaughter of the 'Holy Lord' Clone and countless fiends. The consequences would be unimaginable.
"'Sect Master Ye, how should we enter?' a Sword Sect Elder asked. Currently, the entire Yanhuang Immortal Capital was surrounded so tightly that not even water could trickle through, and with the 'Holy Lord' Clone personally presiding over the siege, breaking through the encirclement to enter the interior of the Immortal Capital was easier said than done.
A flash of determination crossed Ye Qingxian's eyes. "'We force our way in! Our target is the 'Xuankun Gate' at the northeastern corner of the grand Formation! That is a relatively weak point of the Formation and a focal point of the fiends' attacks, but it is also the gate closest to the Alliance's core, the 'Yanhuang Hall,' allowing for the fastest reinforcements. We will concentrate our strength, tear through the defensive line at maximum speed, and charge in! As long as we can enter the range of the grand Formation, we will have a breathing room to regroup and rendezvous with His Majesty Emperor Yan!'"
"'Yes!' everyone responded in unison, their eyes filled with a resolve that showed they were prepared to face death.
"'Lin Wan, you lead the attack, I will guard you, and the others will follow closely behind. Do not linger in battle!' Ye Qingxian looked at Lin Wan. At this very moment, Lin Wan's terrifying ability to counter the powers of 'Decay' and 'the end' was their greatest reliance for tearing open the defensive line and charging into the Immortal Capital.
"'Understood.' Lin Wan took a deep breath. The 'Chaos Destruction Reincarnation Dao Fruit' inside his body began to rotate slowly, and his aura started to rise infinitely. The grey light of Chaos, the black glow of Annihilation, the white light of Purification, and the reflection of the samsara mirror—the four Dao rhymes faintly emerged, and a strange pressure that caused the surrounding 'Void' to tremble slightly emanated from him.
"'Sword vessel, target Xuankun Gate, charge at full speed!' With Ye Qingxian's command, the Void-Shattering Sword Vessel erupted with dazzling sword light, its speed instantly reaching the absolute limit. Like a silver Dragon swimming against the current, it charged boldly toward the Xuankun Gate at the northeastern corner of the Yanhuang Immortal Capital!
"'Enemy attack!'"
"'It's the Sword Sect's Void-Shattering Sword Vessel! Stop them!'"
"'Kill them! Leave none alive!'"
The appearance of the sword vessel immediately drew the attention of the besieging army. Countless monsters and evil Cultivators, like sharks smelling blood, roared as they converged from all directions, and several 'King' rank auras locked onto the sword vessel, rushing over.
"'Get lost!'"
A cold light flashed in Lin Wan's eyes as he took a step out of the sword vessel and stood in the air. Facing the enemies surging like a tide, he no longer held back. Spreading his hands, the Dao Fruit inside his body shone brilliantly, and a sea of chaotic dharmic power, fused with the four Dao rhymes, surged out like a tsunami.
"'Chaos Annihilation Sea—Purification!'"
The large-scale area Purification move that he had previously unleashed on the outskirts of the Tiannan Sword Sect manifested once again. Moreover, this time, its power was even greater than before! Having advanced to the Peak of the Late Stage of Soul Transformation and completed his Dao Fruit, with a deeper comprehension of the true intent of 'Annihilation,' the 'Chaos Annihilation Sea' Lin Wan unleashed at this moment was wider in range, stronger in power, and its countering effect against the forces of 'Decay' and 'the end' was even more pronounced!
*Whoosh!*
A sea of grey chaotic dharmic power, covering a radius of nearly a hundred miles, appeared out of thin air. Like the Heavenly River pouring backward, it crashed down heavily upon the surging army of fiends ahead! Within the ocean, countless chaotic air currents containing the powers of Annihilation and Purification poured down like a torrential rain.
*Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!*
"'Ah!'"
"'What power is this?!'"
Screams, gasps of shock, and the sound of melting flesh blended into one. Those low-level monsters spawned by the power of 'Decay' charging at the very front, as well as the Cultivators eroded by 'Decay,' melted and purified rapidly like snow met with boiling water before the 'Chaos Annihilation Sea,' turning into wisps of green smoke. Even those 'King' rank existences at the Early and Middle Stages of Void Refining, when enveloped by this sea of chaotic dharmic power containing the four supreme Dao rhymes, felt as if they had fallen into a quagmire. Their movements slowed, and their protective demonic light and evil Qi were rapidly eroded and purified, emitting sizzling sounds as they suffered in agony.
For a moment, with Lin Wan at the center, a vast area spanning a hundred miles ahead was forcefully cleared! Countless fiends were turned to ashes, revealing a purified, relatively safe passage leading straight to the Xuankun Gate!
"'Gasp! What terrifying purifying power!'"
"'Who is this person? To actually possess such capability!'"
Sucking in cold air resounded throughout the besieging army. Even the 'Holy Lord' Clone, seated high upon the 'Void Throne' in the distance, seemed to slightly turn his pair of pale, flaming eyes, casting a glance in the direction where Lin Wan was. But it was merely a glance; he did not seem to truly take this 'Soul Transformation Late Stage' junior seriously.
"'Charge!' Seeing this, Ye Qingxian's spirits rose. Steering the Void-Shattering Sword Vessel, she accelerated even further along the passage opened by Lin Wan, turning into a streak of silver lightning that rushed straight toward the Xuankun Gate.
"'Stop them! At all costs!'"
The owners of those few 'King' rank auras locked onto the sword vessel had clearly received absolute orders. Three of those figures actually withstood the erosion of the 'Chaos Annihilation Sea,' forcefully breaking through the blockade of the purifying rain to block the front of the sword vessel. These three were all clad in pitch-black robes, their bodies shrouded in thick decay and Void aura. They were impressively three 'King' rank Elders of the 'Temple of Decay,' with one of them even having reached the Late Stage of Void Refining (Peak King rank)!
"'Jie jie, Ye Qingxian, Lin Wan! There is a path to Heaven yet you choose not to walk it, while Hell has no gate yet you barge in! Today, we will keep both of you here and sacrifice you to the Holy Lord!' That Peak 'King' rank Elder let out a burst of grating, strange laughter. Joining forces with the other two, he deployed his 'Decay Domain,' transforming it into three massive decayed palm prints that struck fiercely toward the sword vessel! Wherever the palm prints passed, even space seemed to be corroded, emitting sizzling sounds.
"'You're courting death!'"
Lin Wan's eyes turned cold. Facing the interception of the three 'King' ranks, he did not retreat but instead advanced. With a flash of his figure, he charged directly out of the protective range of the sword vessel, actively meeting those three massive decayed palm prints.
"'Chaos Annihilation Reincarnation—Four Symbols Destruction Fist!'"
With a low shout, Lin Wan threw a punch. There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a highly condensed fist print interwoven with four colors—the grey of Chaos, the black of Annihilation, the white of Purification, and the void of Reincarnation—silently meeting those three decayed palm prints.
Wherever the fist print passed, space collapsed and all Laws receded. The moment those three palm prints containing terrifying decay power came into contact with the four-colored fist print, they were like snow meeting a blazing sun, rapidly disintegrating and dissolving. Unable to block it even for an instant, they were pierced through by the fist print, which slammed heavily onto the protective demonic light of those three 'King' rank Elders.
*Pfft!*
"'No—!'"
"'How is this possible?!'"
The three 'King' rank Elders, including the Peak 'King' rank one, felt as if they had been hit head-on by a primordial behemoth. Their protective demonic light shattered instantly, their chests collapsed, and they spat out black blood, their eyes filled with unbelievable shock and despair. The four Dao rhymes contained within the fist print were like maggots on rotting bones, frantically eroding their vitality, decaying their Dao foundations, purifying their Origins, and dragging their very existence into the end of Reincarnation.
With just a single punch, out of the three 'King' ranks, two died and one was severely wounded! Although the Peak 'King' rank had not died, his aura was withered and he was on the verge of death, his gaze toward Lin Wan filled with absolute terror.
"'Those who stand in my way shall die!'"
Lin Wan's gaze was ice-cold. He did not even spare a glance at the severely wounded Peak 'King' rank, his figure not pausing for a single moment as he turned into a four-colored stream of light, following closely behind the sword vessel and continuing to charge toward the Xuankun Gate. Wherever he passed, any fiend who dared to block him, regardless of their cultivation level, was easily obliterated and purified by his single punch or palm strike. At this moment, after completing his Dao Fruit and comprehending the true intent of 'Annihilation,' Lin Wan's countering of the powers of 'Decay' and 'the end' had reached an unimaginable level. Ordinary 'King' ranks were practically defenseless before him.
With Lin Wan, this god of slaughter, clearing the way, combined with Ye Qingxian's sword light providing support, the Void-Shattering Sword Vessel advanced with irresistible force, quickly reaching the vicinity of the Xuankun Gate. At this moment, the Xuankun Gate was already in ruins, the light of its Formation dim. Countless monsters and evil Cultivators were frantically attacking the remaining Formation bases like ants. The Alliance Cultivators guarding this place had suffered heavy casualties, and it looked like they were about to be overrun.
"'Sect Master Ye! It's Sect Master Ye and Senior Lin! Reinforcements are here! Kill!' The surviving Alliance Cultivators erupted into earth-shattering cheers upon seeing the sword vessel along with the figures of Lin Wan and Ye Qingxian, their morale greatly boosted.
"'Ye Qingxian! Lin Wan! How dare you come here to seek your deaths!'"
[part:gemini-3.1-flash-lite]
At this very moment, a heaven-shaking roar erupted.
Four immense figures, like mountains and radiating an overwhelming aura of "Void," tore through the Void Realm and appeared above the Xuankun Gate, blocking their path.
They were none other than the four "Void Divine Generals" guarding the "Holy Lord" Clone!
The aura of each of these four "Void Divine Generals" far surpassed that of the three "King"-level Elders from before; they had clearly reached the absolute Peak of the "King" level, and had even faintly touched the threshold of the barrier between Mortals and immortals!
They wore heavy jet-black armor, upon which flowed "Void" runes that seemed like living creatures.
The weapons they held were all condensed from pure "Void" power, radiating a heart-palpitating aura that devoured and assimilated everything.
"With the four Divine Generals here, you shall not pass."
One of the Divine Generals spoke in a muffled voice, sounding like two pieces of rusted iron rubbing together, harsh and unpleasant.
The giant axe condensed from "Void" in his hand pointed from afar at Lin Wan and Ye Qingxian, and a terrifying pressure descended like a mountain.
Ye Qingxian's expression was grave.
Each of these four "Void Divine Generals" was no weaker than she was in her prime, perhaps even stronger.
With the four of them joining hands, plus the countless demons surrounding them, breaking through would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Lin Wan, however, had a calm gaze.
He swept his eyes over the four Divine Generals, and finally, cast his gaze toward the distant "Void" throne, at that figure sitting motionless.
"Sect Master Ye, leave these four to me.
You take the people and enter the Immortal Capital first to rendezvous with His Majesty Emperor Yan."
Lin Wan's voice was calm and firm.
"What? You alone will deal with four Divine Generals?"
Ye Qingxian was startled.
Although she had witnessed Lin Wan's power to instantly kill a "King" level Peak expert, these four "Void Divine Generals" were no small matter.
When they joined forces, their power was certainly not as simple as one plus one.
"It is fine.
My Dao counters them.
Moreover, if we do not resolve these four, none of us can enter."
Lin Wan said indifferently, his tone carrying unquestionable confidence, "Rest assured, I have my own measure.
Even if I cannot beat them, I can still escape.
You entering the Immortal Capital first and stabilizing the situation is the key."
Ye Qingxian took a deep look at Lin Wan, seeing a kind of absolute calmness and confidence in his eyes.
She knew that Lin Wan was not a reckless person; since he dared to say this, he must have something to rely on.
"Very well! Take care!"
Ye Qingxian no longer hesitated.
With a flash of sword light, her Qingxian Sword unsheathed, and she shouted to the Sword Sect Elders behind her and the remaining Alliance Cultivators: "Everyone, follow me and charge! Kill your way in!"
"Kill!"
Ye Qingxian took the lead, her brilliant sword light tearing through the demons blocking the path ahead, and she led everyone, charging fiercely toward the broken gap of the Xuankun Gate.
Among the four "Void Divine Generals," two immediately moved to intercept them.
"Your opponent is me."
Lin Wan's figure flickered, and he instantly appeared before the two "Void Divine Generals" who wanted to intercept, blocking their path.
At the same time, the "Chaos Destruction Reincarnation Dao Fruit" within his body spun rapidly, and a strange aura—even grander and more profound than before, as if it could encompass the heavens, evolve Reincarnation, bring about the end and destruction, and purify everything—slowly permeated outward, standing in opposition to the aura of "Void" that devoured everything emitted by the four "Void Divine Generals."
"Arrogant!"
"You seek death!"
The four "Void Divine Generals" were simultaneously enraged.
As the most powerful Divine Generals under the "Holy Lord," when had they ever been so disdained?
Moreover, the opponent was just a junior at the Soul Transformation Late Stage!
Although Lin Wan's performance just now was surprising, in their view, it was merely relying on his restraint against "heart of decay," which was fine for dealing with ordinary "King" level experts, but against the four of them who were proficient in the "Void" Dao and possessed strength far exceeding ordinary "King" level Peak experts, he had absolutely no chance of winning.
"Form the Formation! Void Return to Ruins!"
The four Divine Generals were of one mind and shouted angrily together.
The "Void" power around them surged wildly, instantly intertwining to form a huge, pitch-black Domain that constantly collapsed inward, as if it could devour, assimilate, and annihilate everything—the Void Return to Ruins Formation!
Once this Formation appeared, the surrounding space instantly became viscous and solidified.
Light, sound, Spiritual Qi, and all tangible and intangible things began to collapse and annihilate toward the endless darkness at the center of the Formation.
Being in the Formation was like being at the end of the Universe's return to ruins, where all existence would be devoured and turned into nothingness.
"Return to ruins? A fine 'Return to Ruins'."
Lin Wan stood in the center of the "Void Return to Ruins Formation," feeling the ubiquitous, terrifying power of devouring and assimilation, as well as the Law that seemed to want to drag everything into eternal destruction.
Instead of fear in his eyes, a strange light appeared.
"Just right, let me see if your 'Void' can devour everything, or if my 'Chaos Destruction' can encompass your Void and end your destruction!"
"Chaos Destruction Reincarnation Dao Fruit, open!"
Lin Wan no longer suppressed his aura.
Above his head, the phantom of the Dao Fruit, interwoven with four colors and slowly rotating, instantly solidified, emitting ten thousand zhang of light!
Chaos evolved, encompassing all phenomena; Destruction descended, ending all things; Reincarnation operated, life and death ceaseless; the light of Purification cleansed all evil.
The four Dao rhymes, in a mysterious and unpredictable way, perfectly blended to form a strange Domain centered on Lin Wan with a radius of one hundred zhang.
This Domain was not to resist the devouring of the "Void Return to Ruins," but rather... to encompass, transform, assimilate, and purify!
Chaos encompassed all things, including "Void."
Destruction ended all Laws and could likewise end the erosion of "Void."
Reincarnation incorporated the devouring process of "Void" into the cycle of life and death, weakening its absoluteness.
Purification stripped and cleansed the brand of will belonging to the "Holy Lord" contained within the "Void," reducing it to the most original, ownerless "Void" energy.
"Hum—!"
When Lin Wan's "Chaos Destruction Reincarnation Purification" Domain collided with the four "Void Divine Generals'" "Void Return to Ruins" Formation, there was no heaven-shaking explosion.
Instead, it was a strange, mutually penetrating, eroding, transforming, and annihilating process, like milk mixing with water.
The gray light of Chaos, like the most inclusive matrix, encompassed, decomposed, and digested the surging "Void" power.
The black light of Destruction, like the sharpest file, accelerated the disintegration and decay of the "Void" power's own "existence."
The Dao rhyme of Reincarnation formed an invisible vortex, incorporating the erosion and assimilation process of the "Void" into a constantly cycling and decaying loop.
The white light of Purification, like the most precise filter, constantly stripped and cleansed the brand of will belonging to the "Holy Lord" from the "Void" power, making it "pure," and even... conversely, being absorbed and assimilated by Lin Wan's Chaos Dao rhyme!
The faces of the four "Void Divine Generals" changed for the first time.
They could clearly feel that the "Void Return to Ruins" Formation they had set up together, which was enough to easily strangle several "King" level Peak experts, actually had... minimal effect on Lin Wan!
No, not only was the effect minimal, but there was also a feeling of a clay ox entering the sea, being constantly transformed and absorbed by the opponent!
The strange Domain around that boy was simply like a furnace specifically designed to restrain and digest "Void" power!
"How is this possible?! What kind of Dao is this?! It can actually restrain the 'Void' power of the Holy Lord?!"
One Divine General exclaimed involuntarily.
"We cannot wait any longer! Attack with full force, suppress and kill him!"
Another Divine General shouted sharply.
The four of them no longer maintained the "Void Return to Ruins" Formation but attacked simultaneously, unleashing their respective finishing moves.
"Void Slash!"
"Destruction Spear!"
"Return to Ruins Seal!"
"Touch of Assimilation!"
Four incomparably terrifying attacks, containing the ultimate "Void" Dao Laws, blasted toward Lin Wan from four directions simultaneously!
Each attack was enough to severely injure or even kill a "King" level Peak expert!
Facing this fatal blow, Lin Wan's eyes remained calm.
He slowly raised his right hand.
In his palm, the four-colored Dao rhymes gathered and compressed crazily, finally condensing into a fist-sized, constantly rotating, grayish light ball that seemed to contain the birth and death of a small Chaos Universe.
"Chaos... Destruction... Reincarnation... Purification..."
"Four Symbols... Return to Origin!"
Following Lin Wan's low shout, that grayish light ball drifted out gently, meeting the four terrifying "Void" attacks.
There was no heaven-shaking collision, no earth-shattering explosion.
The moment that grayish light ball made contact with the four "Void" attacks, time seemed to stand still.
The next moment, in the eyes of the four "Void Divine Generals" filled with terror, those four "Void" attacks, capable of destroying a world, melted and disintegrated silently like snow meeting the scorching sun, being easily... devoured, absorbed, transformed, and assimilated by that grayish light ball!
It was as if they had never existed at all!
The grayish light ball that had devoured the four terrifying attacks did not increase in size, but its color became deeper and more chaotic, as if it contained even more terrifying power.
The light ball's momentum did not diminish, and in the eyes of the four "Void Divine Generals" who could not believe it and even had no time to react, it lightly imprinted onto the chest of one of the Divine Generals.
"No—!"
The Divine General who was hit only had time to let out a short, angry roar filled with endless fear and unwillingness.
The heavy jet-black armor on his body, the "Void" Origin he had painstakingly cultivated for countless years, and even his Divine Soul and will, all began an irreversible disintegration, melting, assimilation, and Purification the moment they touched that grayish light ball...
In just one breath, this "Void Divine General," whose strength was comparable to the absolute Peak of the "King" level and who held a high position in the "Void Church," completely disappeared from the spot as if he had never existed, not even leaving a speck of dust behind.
"What?!"
"This... what kind of power is this?!"
"Run! Run quickly!"
The remaining three "Void Divine Generals" were scared out of their wits, their livers and gallbladders shattered!
They could not understand or imagine how a junior at the Soul Transformation Late Stage could possess such a terrifying, strange, and restraining power against them!
With just one blow, their strongest companion was wiped out in body and Soul, without even a chance to struggle!
This had completely exceeded their cognition!
Without any hesitation, the remaining three Divine Generals turned and fled, not even caring that the "Holy Lord" Clone was not far away; they just wanted to immediately escape from this terrifying monster.
However, how could Lin Wan let them have their way?
"Want to leave? Too late."
Lin Wan's eyes were cold.
He stepped out, instantly crossing space to appear behind one of the fleeing Divine Generals.
It was still that seemingly slow, but actually containing supreme Dao rhyme, "Chaos Destruction Reincarnation Purification Finger," and he lightly tapped on the Divine General's back.
"Puff!"
With the same ending, this Divine General followed in his companion's footsteps and disappeared silently.
The other two Divine Generals were scared out of their wits.
Burning their Origin and sparing no cost, they raised their speed to the extreme, fleeing for their lives in two different directions.
Lin Wan's figure did not move.
He gently clenched his hands toward the direction where the two were fleeing.
"Chaos... Destruction... Reincarnation... Cage."
In the Void, two strange cages formed of gray Chaos light, containing black Destruction light within and displaying white Purification light outside, appeared out of thin air, instantly covering and imprisoning the two fleeing Divine Generals.
Inside the cages, the power containing the "Reincarnation" Dao rhyme constantly cycled and weakened their existence.
Finally, under the combined action of Chaos decomposition, Destruction ending, and Purification stripping, the two Divine Generals also turned into the purest energy, slowly absorbed by the "Chaos Destruction Reincarnation Dao Fruit" behind Lin Wan, becoming nutrients for the Dao Fruit's growth.
In the snap of a finger, the four "Void Divine Generals," whose strength was comparable to the absolute Peak of the "King" level and who were renowned, all fell, wiped out in body and Soul!
The entire battlefield instantly fell into a dead silence.
Whether it was the demon army wildly attacking the Xuankun Gate, the Alliance Cultivators fighting bloody battles, or even the "Holy Lord" Clone sitting high on the "Void" throne in the distance, and those "King" level experts under him, all seemed to have been hit by a freezing spell, looking in disbelief at the young figure standing in the air, who seemed to have done an insignificant thing.
With Soul Transformation Late Stage cultivation, lightly and easily killing four "Void Divine Generals" who were at the absolute Peak of the "King" level and could fight "Quasi-Immortals" when joining forces... this was simply like a myth!
No, even in myths, it was not this outrageous!
"Who... who exactly is he?!"
"Monster! He is a monster!"
"Run away!"
After a brief silence, there was even more crazy Chaos and fear.
The demon army besieging the Xuankun Gate had their morale instantly collapse, crying for their parents and fleeing for their lives.
The Alliance Cultivators, on the other hand, erupted into heaven-shaking cheers, and the originally crumbling defense line miraculously stabilized.
"Lin Wan! Lin Wan!"
It was unknown who shouted the name first.
The next moment, countless Alliance Cultivators, whether from the Tiannan Sword Sect or other factions, felt as if they had found their backbone, frantically shouting Lin Wan's name, their eyes filled with fanatical worship and hope.
"Demon Suppressing Heavenly Monarch! It is the Demon Suppressing Heavenly Monarch!"
"The Demon Suppressing Heavenly Monarch is invincible!"
"Kill! Kill all these demons!"
Lin Wan's appearance, and the terrifying restraint against the power of "the end" and the overwhelming strength he displayed, were like a shot of adrenaline injected into the hearts of all the Alliance Cultivators who were struggling to hold on.
Ye Qingxian watched this scene, her heart also surging with waves.
She knew Lin Wan was strong and had strong restraint against "the end," but to be this strong was still far beyond her expectations.
Four "Void Divine Generals"... even she would need a bitter fight to defeat just one of them, let alone killing four so easily.
Lin Wan's strength had likely truly reached the "Quasi-Immortal" level, or even... stronger!
In the distance, on the "Void" throne, that "Holy Lord" Clone, who had been sitting motionless and seemed to regard all things in the world as nothing, finally slowly raised his head.
The dense "Void" enveloping him slowly dissipated, revealing a blurred face that seemed to be composed of flowing "Void," with only a pair of pale flame eyes clearly visible.
That pair of pale flame eyes was cold and dead, containing no emotion, like a high and mighty god looking down at ants.
But at this moment, these eyes, for the first time, truly and completely cast their gaze upon Lin Wan.
"Interesting..."
A grand, cold voice, as if from the Nine Nether Abyss, capable of freezing the Soul, slowly sounded, echoing throughout the battlefield.
"This seat has not encountered such an 'interesting' prey in a long time."
"Your Dao... is very special.
It seems to be able to restrain 'the end.' Just right, this Clone of mine lacks a main Soul.
You are very suitable."
As the voice fell, the "Holy Lord" Clone finally slowly stood up from that "Void" throne.
In an instant, a terrifying pressure, more than ten or a hundred times stronger than before, seemingly capable of causing heaven and earth to collapse and all things to return to ruins, swept across the entire world like a tangible force!
The "Void" in the sky became denser, rolling like ink, the earth began to crack, and space began to twist and annihilate.
All living beings, whether demons or Alliance Cultivators, felt difficulty breathing and their Divine Souls trembling under this pressure, as if they could be devoured, assimilated, and turned into nothingness by this terrifying "Void" at any moment.
The "Holy Lord" Clone was finally... going to make a move himself!
