165: "Prince Lie" Yuan Jinglie

"What!"

"This... how is this possible! How could this be!"

Seeing this scene, the surrounding Xiantian experts were all breathless, their eyes wide with shock:

"That is the current Yuan Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, a Great Grandmaster ranked seventh on the Heaven Ranking! How could he be sent flying by Lin Yi in a single strike! This strength is definitely top three on the Heaven Ranking! Could it be that he directly broke through to the Innate Golden Core Grandmaster Realm this time?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"How difficult is it to achieve the Innate Golden Core? Even someone as powerful as the historical Martial God followed a step-by-step path when breaking through from the Innate True Essence Realm to the Innate Golden Core Realm, first reaching the Xiantian Golden Core Realm before attaining the Innate Golden Core after further cultivation. Even if Lin Yi's talent is greater, can he really be stronger than the Martial God?"

"Then you're saying Lin Yi is still in the Xiantian Golden Core Realm, yet he already possesses combat power equivalent to the top three of the Heaven Ranking? Once he actually breaks through to the Innate Golden Core Realm, what then? I'm afraid even ten of the top three on the Heaven Ranking combined wouldn't be his match. Is this Lin Yi even human?"

The group of Xiantian experts all cried out in alarm.

"Haha! Good!"

High in the sky, Old Ancestor Yan Hui and Old Ancestor Bei Zhen of the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce were overjoyed.

"Having just broken through to the Xiantian Golden Core Realm and possessing strength comparable to an Innate Golden Core, Lin Yi has truly given me a massive surprise this time! This crisis can be considered resolved! Hahaha!"

Old Ancestor Yan Hui beamed with joy, laughing loudly.

"Indeed!"

The white-robed Old Ancestor Bei Zhen was also full of smiles:

"I've been watching this little fellow since he was only at the Second Grade. Looking at his cultivation journey along the way, although his talent is extraordinary, he has always remained calm and composed, acting with great stability."

"I was wondering why he was in such a hurry to break through to the Xiantian Golden Core Realm this time; only now do I realize the little guy was prepared all along."

"Haha! To rival the top three of the Heaven Ranking while only at the Xiantian Golden Core Realm—such talent probably approaches even that of the legendary Martial God!"

"It is indeed close. Even if there is a gap, it shouldn't be much. Yan Hui, Bei Zhen, congratulations."

A Martial Saint with a head as large as a peck and white hair and beard offered his congratulations.

"Yes! Yan Hui, Bei Zhen, congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

..."Haha! Let us all celebrate together!"

High in the sky, Old Ancestor Yan Hui, Old Ancestor Bei Zhen, and the various Martial Saints were all laughing cheerfully.

Below, Gu Changsheng, who was fighting the fierce white-haired youth King Wu An and being suppressed quite miserably, was now full of excitement. He spoke vibrantly to Lin Yi, who was currently stepping out of the secret chamber:

"Lin Yi, you... you possess the strength of the top three on the Heaven Ranking?"

"Correct!"

Facing Gu Changsheng's excited inquiry, Lin Yi smiled gently and nodded in response.

"Haha! Good, good, good! With the strength of the top three on the Heaven Ranking, I'd like to see how this Great Yuan Dynasty deals with you now!"

"Top three of the Heaven Ranking! Haha! I didn't expect that the green youth from back then, who wasn't even at the Fourth Grade, would become stronger than me in the blink of an eye!"

"Haha! Gu Changsheng, why are you comparing yourself to Junior Martial Nephew Lin Yi?"

On the other side, the handsome white-haired youth Chu Haitian, who was being pressed so hard by King Hongyu and King Chenyi that he could barely breathe, also laughed loudly:

"Junior Martial Nephew Lin Yi is a genius of the heavens. Even in the entire history of the Nine Provinces, he is a peerless Prodigy second only to the Martial God. Isn't it only natural for him to surpass you?"

"Haha! Junior Martial Nephew Lin Yi, I, Chu Haitian, have never respected anyone in my life except Old Ancestor Yan Hui. Today, I am truly convinced by you!"

Chu Haitian laughed with deep emotion.

He had always been extremely proud. In the past within the Heavenly Mountain Sect, apart from Old Ancestor Yan Hui, he didn't even care for Gu Changsheng.

After all, in his eyes, while Gu Changsheng was stronger than him, he was still just a junior.

Back when he was an esteemed Xiantian Grandmaster, Gu Changsheng hadn't even grown his first hair yet!

But now, regarding Lin Yi, he was truly admiring from the bottom of his heart because the current Lin Yi was truly strong! Too strong!

Setting aside his peerless talent, even his strength had already reached a level close to the Peak of the Nine Provinces!

Faced with such a figure, no matter how proud Chu Haitian was, how could he not be convinced?

"Heh, Supreme Elder Chu, you overpraise me."

Facing Chu Haitian's praise, Lin Yi gave a faint smile and then continued:

"However, there are still a few small ants here, so let's not chat too much for now. We can catch up after I've dealt with them."

"Good!"

Chu Haitian nodded excitedly upon hearing this.

In the next moment.

"Swish!"

Lin Yi gripped his starfall saber and transformed into a high-speed black stream of light, charging straight at the fierce white-robed youth, "King Wu An," who was fighting Gu Changsheng.

"Begone!"

Seeing Lin Yi's ferocious saber strike, a crimson light flashed in King Wu An's eyes. He let out an angry roar and turned his curved blade, first forcing Gu Changsheng back with a strike, and then, like a crescent moon, his blade boomed as it slashed toward Lin Yi!

"Clang!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The massive sound of clashing weapons and explosions rang out in the Void Realm. Under this collision, the houses and ground within a hundred meters shattered instantly, and countless fragments of wood and stone were swept up by dragon-like waves of Qi, flying in all directions.

As for the center of the battlefield, under Lin Yi's strike, the fierce white-robed youth King Wu An couldn't even hold out for a single instant. He was sent flying from the center of the battlefield like a kicked ball.

After flying backwards for several hundred meters in one breath, he crashed into the ground with a thud, coughing up blood continuously, no longer capable of fighting.

"Sect Master, you go kill Yuan Jingyi and King Wu An. I'll kill King Chenyi and King Hongyu to prevent them from escaping."

After sending King Wu An flying with another strike, Lin Yi's face remained calm and indifferent, as if he had merely swatted an ant. With a movement of his long saber, he continued his charge toward King Hongyu and King Chenyi.

"What! This..."

Seeing that Yuan Jingyi and King Wu An were so vulnerable before Lin Yi, King Chenyi and King Hongyu were also terrified and dazed at this moment.

Then, watching Lin Yi draw closer and closer to them, the two of them instantly broke down, immediately letting out a terrified roar:

"King Lie, save me!"

"Boom-crack!"

"Swish! Swish!"

As soon as King Hongyu and King Chenyi spoke, from an ordinary residence several hundred meters away, two bolts of purple lightning suddenly shot out, ferociously attacking Lin Yi and Gu Changsheng.

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

...The sound of a weapon collision and an explosion echoed in the air.

Lin Yi and Gu Changsheng simultaneously swung their weapons, striking at the purple lightning.

Among them, the bolt of purple lightning in front of Gu Changsheng exploded with a bang, turning into tiny streaks of lightning that returned to heaven and earth.

However, the purple lightning in front of Lin Yi, after being struck by his saber, actually transformed into a purple spear. Its entire body was purple and surrounded by layers of thunderlight, emitting an endless fierce Aura, and then it erupted with heaven-shaking power.

With one thrust, it actually knocked Lin Yi back dozens of meters.

At the same time, a high-and-mighty voice, like that of a Heavenly God, rang in everyone's ears:

"A bunch of useless trash. Four full Innate Golden Cores, yet you can't even handle a single measly Xiantian Golden Core Realm junior. You've utterly disgraced the Great Yuan Dynasty."

As the voice fell, from that residence, a burly figure over two meters tall, wearing purple battle armor with a righteous face and a compelling Aura, strode into the battlefield.

"thunder seven kills spear! Great Yuan Dynasty, King Lie, Yuan Jinglie!"

Looking at the burly figure in purple battle armor, Lin Yi's eyes couldn't help but turn solemn as he slowly uttered this name that shook the Nine Provinces.
