172: God King Projection

"Presumptuous!"

"Courting death!"

Lin Jingyu's phrase "old dog" was like a spark igniting a powder keg, instantly enraging the four Peak Heavenly Gods behind the Black Robe God King!

As elites under Heavenly Punishment God King's command, they had always acted without restraint within the God King's Domain. How could they have ever suffered such an insult?

Especially an insult from a True God from the Lower Realm!

Four terrifying Peak Heavenly God auras erupted with a roar, like four erupting volcanoes, causing the solidified space to violently shake!

Divine Power light shot up into the sky, Law chains rattled, and four Divine Artifacts emitting astonishing fluctuations instantly appeared in their hands—a saber, a sword, a spear, and a seal—blocking all of Lin Jingyu's escape routes!

"Despicable ant! Kneel and face your execution!" The leading Heavenly God wielding a saber roared, his saber light tearing through the sky, carrying a bone-chilling cold that could freeze Divine Souls, and struck first!

The other three attacks followed closely!

Thousands of sword shadows, a spear like a Dragon, and a great seal like a mountain!

The enraged combined attack of four Peak Heavenly Gods was powerful enough to instantly severely injure or even kill an ordinary Lower God King!

The spectators outside the arena trembled under this terrifying combined offensive, their breathing almost stopping.

It was as if they could already see Lin Jingyu being torn to shreds by this world-destroying attack.

Facing this deadly situation, Lin Jingyu's eyes showed no fear; instead, a more blazing Battle Intent and fierce glint burned within them!

"Good timing!"

He let out a wild laugh, not retreating but advancing! His Chaos Divine Body rumbled, his Qi and blood burning like billions of furnaces simultaneously!

Beneath his bronze skin, muscle fibers twisted wildly like Dragons and snakes, erupting with terrifying power capable of shaking stars!

He didn't dodge or evade, but directly slammed his body into the four terrifying attacks!

At the same time, both fists struck out! His left fist smashed towards the saber light that froze everything, and his right fist slammed into the descending great seal! He completely ignored the sword shadows and spear gleams attacking from the sides!

"Is he mad?!" someone shrieked.

Boom—!!!

A terrifying explosion instantly swallowed everything!

Energy turbulence swept across the entire arena like a tsunami, completely shattering the already tottering blood-colored light barrier!

The destructive shockwave spread outwards, and some unfortunate souls in the front row of the stands didn't even have time to scream before being pulverized into blood mist by the aftermath!

The light dissipated.

Everyone stared intently at the center of the explosion.

Lin Jingyu was still standing! In front of his left fist, the ice Divine Saber shattered inch by inch, and the saber-wielding Heavenly God's tiger's mouth burst open as he flew backward with a face full of horror!

Above his right fist, the mountain-like great seal was forcibly smashed back, its surface covered in cracks, and the Heavenly God controlling it grunted, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth!

As for his waist and back, which had directly endured the sword shadows and spear gleams, his clothes were completely shredded, revealing slightly reddish, yet unbroken, bronze skin!

Only a few white marks quickly faded!

Shattering a Divine Artifact with bare hands! Enduring a full-power strike from a Peak Heavenly God with his Physical Body completely unharmed!

"Mon... monster!" Endless fear engulfed the hearts of all spectators.

The four Peak Heavenly Gods' pupils contracted violently, as if they had seen a ghost! Their combined attack couldn't even break through his defense?! What kind of Physical Body was this?!

"Useless."

Lin Jingyu shook his wrist, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.

The attacks of these Peak Heavenly Gods weren't even strong enough to temper his Physical Body.

Just as he was about to actively attack and completely tear these four small fry to shreds—

"Enough."

The Black Robe God King, who had been observing coldly, finally spoke. His voice was still cold, but with an imperceptible hint of solemnity.

He slowly raised a palm towards Lin Jingyu, his five fingers slightly spread.

"To force this King to personally act, you are worthy of pride. Lower Realm ant, feel the might of a God King."

Buzz!

It wasn't his true body acting, but the Void Realm behind him twisted, and a blurry yet immensely majestic colossal phantom, wreathed in blood-colored lightning, abruptly appeared!

The phantom's face bore some resemblance to the Black Robe God King, but it was even more ancient, majestic, and terrifying!

It was as if it was the Dominator who wielded the Heavenly Punishment of heaven and earth!

God King Projection!

Although it was merely a negligible trace of projection power, its status far surpassed that of a Heavenly God! It contained a trace of True God King Law will!

The projection indifferently looked down at Lin Jingyu, as if looking down at a slightly stronger insect, and slowly extended a finger, pointing it towards Lin Jingyu.

As this finger descended, it seemed slow, yet it instantly stirred the Laws of heaven and earth throughout the entire Blood Battle Corridor region!

Endless destructive and punitive intent condensed, forming a colossal finger, pitch black like ink, entwined with countless wailing Divine Soul phantoms!

Wherever the colossal finger passed, space didn't shatter, but directly annihilated! Turning into the most primordial nothingness!

A terrifying, destructive, and despairing aura enveloped Lin Jingyu! This was an absolute suppression at the level of life and Law!

"It's Lord Black Punishment God King's Finger of Punishment!" A Heavenly God recognized this attack, his voice filled with fear, "It can easily obliterate a Lower God King! He's finished!"

Facing this terrifying finger, which far surpassed any previous attack and contained the will of a God King's Law, Lin Jingyu's entire body's muscles instantly tensed to the extreme!

His Chaos Divine Body spontaneously operated to its limit, and subtle Chaos Qi Flow appeared on his skin! He felt a fatal threat!

He couldn't block this finger! Taking it head-on would surely result in severe injury!

But there was no trace of retreat in his eyes; instead, his fierce glint grew even stronger! The Rule of Strength surged wildly within his body, and he was about to recklessly activate the Pangu Dharma Appearance for a desperate struggle!

Just at this critical moment—

"Go!"

Qing Li's cold voice, tinged with urgency, boomed in his mind again!

Almost simultaneously, a barely perceptible blue formation pattern flashed and disappeared beneath Lin Jingyu's feet! A faint but incredibly intricate spatial fluctuation instantly enveloped him!

It was a contingency plan Qing Li had laid out in advance!

"Hmph! Trying to escape?" The Black Punishment God King in mid-air snorted, and the destructive colossal finger suddenly accelerated, about to completely descend!

"Old dog! I will repay today's gift a hundredfold in the future!"

Lin Jingyu roared, abandoning the idea of resisting head-on. Under the impetus of the blue formation pattern and his own will, the Myriad Heavens Star Evasion Divine Ability, which he had long mastered, instantly operated to its maximum!

Buzz!

His body blurred, as if transforming into countless miniature stars, about to merge into the Void Realm and escape from this place!

"Imprison!" The Black Punishment God King's projection's finger pressed down slightly, and an invisible God King Law Domain instantly contracted, trying to forcibly solidify space and interrupt the escape technique!

Crack!

The space groaned under the strain, indeed becoming incredibly viscous! Ordinary escape techniques would be impossible to perform!

However, Lin Jingyu's Myriad Heavens Star Evasion was a top-tier evasion method deduced by the System to its extreme Realm, pursuing not pure speed, but the profound Realm of "thought arrives, body arrives," involving deeper spatial jumps!

With the faint assistance of the blue formation pattern, combined with his own incomparably powerful Physical Body strength, he forcibly withstood this spatial imprisonment!

"Flee!"

He roared, and his entire being completely transformed into a minute, almost invisible stream of starlight. Instead of flying in a straight line, he plunged directly into a spatial rift next to him, which had been created by the residual energy of the previous battle and had not yet healed!

Boom!!!

Almost at the exact moment he vanished, the terrifying Finger of Punishment slammed down!

The entire Ninth Arena, along with a large section of its foundation below, silently turned into dust under this single finger!

A bottomless, colossal pit appeared in its place, its edges smooth as a mirror, with lingering terrifying destructive Law aura!

But Lin Jingyu's trace had long vanished from the spot!

"Hm? He actually escaped into the spatial turbulence?" The Black Punishment God King's main body was slightly startled, seemingly a little surprised.

spatial turbulence was extremely dangerous; even a God King wouldn't dare to venture deep into it easily, and a True God entering it was almost certain death.

His Divine Sense instantly swept out like a tidal wave, covering the entire Blood Battle Corridor and even millions of miles of surrounding Void Realm, but he could no longer capture any trace of Lin Jingyu's aura.

"Lord..." The four Peak Heavenly Gods approached, still shaken, their faces filled with shame.

The Black Punishment God King withdrew his gaze, his face under the black robe terrifyingly grim. He had personally acted, using a trace of his projection power, yet he had allowed a True God Realm ant to slip away right under his nose? This was simply a great humiliation!

"He can't escape far! spatial turbulence is enough to severely injure him! Immediately seal all paths leading to the Burial God Abyss! He will definitely go there!"

The Black Punishment God King coldly ordered, "Notify all forces: those who provide information on this fiend's whereabouts will be rewarded with a million Divine Crystals! Those who capture and kill him will be rewarded with ten million Divine Crystals and may make one request to His Majesty Heavenly Punishment!"

"Yes!" The four Peak Heavenly Gods obeyed with awe, instantly transforming into streaks of light and dispersing.

The Black Punishment God King glanced one last time at the colossal pit, snorted coldly, and his figure slowly merged into the Void Realm, disappearing.

Only the entire Blood Battle Corridor remained, silent and desolate as if swept by a hurricane, and countless spectators who had not yet recovered from the shock and fear.

Lin Jingyu, the Lower Realm Slaughter God, at the True God Realm, battled four Peak Heavenly Gods, withstood a God King projection's strike, and finally escaped into spatial turbulence, his whereabouts unknown!

This news, like a plague, swept across the entire Nine Heavens Divine Domain at a speed even crazier than the hundred consecutive victories!

...In the cold, silent, and destructive spatial turbulence.

A faint stream of starlight struggled through, surrounded by a faint Chaos Qi Flow, forcibly pushing away the spatial fragments and destructive energy that could tear apart a Heavenly God's Divine Body.

Lin Jingyu had a trace of golden blood at the corner of his mouth, and his Qi and blood churned within him.

He had withstood the attacks of four Heavenly Gods unharmed, but in the end, forcing his way out to break through the God King's Law imprisonment still caused him some internal shock.

Yet, flames of excitement burned in his eyes.

"A God King... is nothing more than this!"

He licked away the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze sharp as a blade, discerned the faint coordinate direction Qing Li had transmitted earlier, and the stream of starlight abruptly accelerated, tearing through layers of turbulence, speeding towards that legendary land of great peril—the Burial God Abyss!

The hunt had just begun!
