60: Famous in the prefecture

Above the firmament, winds and clouds surged!

The figure of Marquis Wuwei, Qin Zhenyue, descended with a roar, like a war storm carrying weapons and cavalry!

His profound black python robe fluttered, Dragon Qi surged around him, and the pressure of a Peak of the Divine Treasure Realm was like a tangible mountain, heavily crushing down on Lin Jingyu, who soared into the sky!

"Lin Jingyu! Slaughtering the Ziyang Sect and defying the Dynasty, you deserve ten thousand deaths! Kneel and face your execution before this Marquis!" Qin Zhenyue's voice boomed like thunder, echoing across the heavens! He pointed two fingers like a blade, and a terrifying blade Protective Aura, a hundred zhang in size, as solid as cast gold, and imbued with the will to destroy mountains and rivers, tore through the sky and cleaved down!

Before the blade Protective Aura even arrived, the ground below was already plowed with deep furrows by the invisible pressure!

"Execution?" Lin Jingyu's Chaos divine demon-like eyes were unperturbed, filled only with surging Battle Intent and killing intent! "By you?"

He faced the golden blade Protective Aura, which was capable of severing mountains and rivers, without dodging or evading!

The Chaos Qi Flow around him was like boiling lava, and the will of the ancient divine demons roared within his body!

His Physical Body strength at the Peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm was pushed to its limit, and fifty million jin of immense power condensed in his right fist!

On the fist's edge, the blurry divine demon dharma idol phantom reappeared, letting out a silent roar!

"God-Demon Heaven Rending Fist!"

He unleashed a punch!

The fist print was gray and hazy, entwined with Chaos Qi Flow, like a divine demon extending its claw, rising Heaven-Defyingly! It met the golden blade Protective Aura head-on!

"Boom—!!!"

An indescribably terrifying roar!

As if two stars collided in the Nine Heavens!

Blinding light instantly engulfed the sky!

A violent energy shockwave, like a world-destroying tsunami, swept out wildly from the point of impact!

The already ravaged ground below was as if brutally trampled by an invisible giant hand, with earth and stones flying and ravines crisscrossing!

The light dissipated!

The golden blade Protective Aura... shattered!

Lin Jingyu's fist print also dimmed and dispersed, but his burly figure merely swayed once in the air, and with ripples of space beneath his feet, he stood firm! He withstood a full blow from a Divine Treasury Realm Peak without a scratch!

"What?!" Qin Zhenyue's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, an expression of unbelievable horror appeared on his face! A Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivator taking his full-strength strike head-on?!

This completely defied Martial Dao common sense! "This fiend... must not be allowed to live!"

The shock instantly transformed into an even more intense killing intent!

Qin Zhenyue held nothing back; Dragon Qi surged wildly around him, and a blurry War God Dharma Aspect, clad in golden armor and wielding a giant halberd, faintly emerged behind him!

With the appearance of the Dharma Aspect, his pressure soared!

"Dragon Battle Eight Desolations!" He struck out with both palms, his golden-armored Dharma Aspect moving in sync, and two golden Dragon-shaped Protective Aura, even more condensed and domineering than before, like two roaring Golden Dragons, intertwined and bit, carrying the will to crush everything, and slammed into Lin Jingyu!

"Good timing!" Lin Jingyu's Chaos nebula eyes burned, feeling an unprecedented pressure! This was exactly the whetstone he needed! He let out a wild roar, advancing instead of retreating!

"Chaos Heaven Opening Fist - Dual Extremes!"

Both fists struck out simultaneously! The left fist manifested the creation of heaven and earth, the initial opening of Chaos!

The right fist contained the destruction of returning to Chaos, the end of all things! The power of creation and destruction, dual extremes, met the two Dragons!

"Boom! Boom! Rumble—!!!"

An even more violent explosion!

The sky seemed to be pierced through! Blinding energy turbulence raged!

Lin Jingyu's figure was violently sent flying from the center of the explosion, the Chaos Qi Flow on his body violently fluctuating, and a trace of pale golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth!

Taking on a furious killing move from a Divine Treasury Realm Peak head-on had, after all, caused him some shock!

"Die!" Qin Zhenyue, having gained the upper hand, showed no mercy, moving with the Dragon, instantly appearing above the retreating Lin Jingyu!

The giant halberd phantom in the golden-armored Dharma Aspect's hand solidified, striking towards Lin Jingyu's heart with a sharpness that could pierce heaven and earth!

This strike was swift! Ruthless! Absolute! It aimed to kill him in one blow!

Life and death hung in the balance!

Lin Jingyu's eyes, far from showing fear, erupted with an even more intense divine demon fierce light!

The Bottleneck of the Peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm within his body, under this extreme pressure, shattered like an eggshell with a roar!

"Now! System! Breakthrough to the Divine Treasury Realm! Activate the Heart's Divine Treasury!"

[Ding! Consuming 40,000 evolution points!]

[Realm Breakthrough! Peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm → First Layer of the Divine Treasury Realm!]

[Heart's Divine Treasury activated! Gained Divine Ability: Heart Fire Burns the Heavens!]

Boom—!!!

A power far more vast and fundamental than any previous Breakthrough, like a volcano dormant for billions of years, erupted from Lin Jingyu's heart!

Endless Qi and blood instantly transformed into dazzling, golden-red divine flames containing the will to incinerate and purify!

The divine flames soared into the sky, forming a hundred-zhang-high pillar of Qi and blood, shooting straight into the heavens!

Within the pillar of smoke, a majestic and sacred divine figure faintly sat in a meditative pose!

The Heart's Divine Treasury opened! Heart Fire Burns the Heavens!

Vast power instantly filled his limbs and bones, and the stagnation of the Marrow Cleansing Realm was swept away!

His strength surged wildly! Sixty million jin! Seventy million jin! Directly approaching the one hundred million jin threshold!

The giant halberd phantom striking towards him seemed to slow down slightly before the divine flame pillar!

"Break for me!" Lin Jingyu roared!

The Chaos Qi Flow around him merged with the Heart's Divine Fire!

He no longer dodged, clenching his right fist, entwined with the dual powers of Chaos and Heart Fire, and punched towards the striking giant halberd phantom!

It was no longer the God-Demon Heaven Rending Fist, but a punch containing his strongest will at this moment!

"God-Demon Burning Heaven Fist!"

The punch landed! Heart Fire raged! Chaos roared!

"Clang—!!!"

A colossal clang, like divine iron striking!

The fist's edge and the halberd's tip collided head-on!

The giant halberd phantom, condensed with Marquis Wuwei's Divine Treasury Realm Peak power, let out a groan of unbearable strain under the Chaos Heart Fire Fist!

The halberd tip shattered! The halberd body cracked inch by inch!

"Impossible!" Qin Zhenyue's eyes were about to burst, his mind violently shaken! The opponent actually broke through to the Divine Treasury Realm during combat?! That Heaven-Burning Heart Fire made his Soul feel a searing pain!

The fist print's momentum remained undiminished!

"Bang!"

It slammed heavily onto the golden-armored Dharma Aspect's crossed, blocking arms!

"Crack! Rumble!"

The golden-armored Dharma Aspect's arms, along with half its chest, instantly exploded like fragile glass!

Qin Zhenyue's true body was struck by a heavy hammer, violently spitting out a large mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale!

His Dharma Aspect was damaged, and his Divine Soul was in excruciating pain!

"My turn!" Lin Jingyu's killing intent soared to the heavens, the power after his Breakthrough making him like an ancient Vicious Beast freed from its shackles!

He took a step, and his Movement Technique, having reached Major Achievement, combined with his Divine Treasury Realm cultivation, made his speed extreme!

He instantly appeared before Qin Zhenyue, whose Dharma Aspect was shattered and aura was weak!

"This Marquis is an imperial envoy! How dare you..." Qin Zhenyue was furious and shocked, attempting to deter him with his identity.

Responding to him was a large hand entwined with Chaos Heart Fire, like a divine demon's claw!

"Dynasty? What a joke!"

The large hand ignored the hastily erected Dragon Qi shield and the horrified, desperate gaze, directly seizing Qin Zhenyue's head!

"No—!!" A desperate roar echoed across the sky!

"Pfft!"

Five fingers exerted force with a roar!

The head of Marquis Wuwei, Qin Zhenyue—imperial envoy, great general under the Prince of Zhennan, and Peak Divine Treasury Realm expert—exploded like a crushed watermelon! The red and white matter was swept away by the Chaos Heart Fire, turning into green smoke!

Lin Jingyu casually flung the headless corpse away, sending it crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust!

[Ding! Killed a Divine Treasury Realm Ninth Layer Peak (imperial envoy/great threat)! Gained evolution points: 120,000 points!]

Between heaven and earth, there was dead silence.

Only the Heart Fire pillar burning around Lin Jingyu and the flowing Chaos Qi Flow silently declared the fall of a Dynasty giant! His fierce might was monstrous!

He stood in the air, feeling the new power brought by the Divine Treasury Realm, especially the Heart Fire from the Heart's Divine Treasury, which incinerated all evil and had a natural restraint on demons and malevolent spirits.

His gaze swept over a Storage Ring carved with Dragon patterns that had fallen beside Qin Zhenyue's corpse, and his Divine Thought forcibly broke through its defenses.

Spirit Stones piled up like mountains, Medicinal Pills glowed with treasure light, and there was a golden scroll exuding rich Dragon Qi—the [Prince of Zhennan's Command]!

And a beast hide map depicting the entire Prefecture, marked with dozens of crimson skull symbols—the [Detailed Map of Prefecture Demon Lairs]!

"Demon Lair Distribution Map?"

Lin Jingyu's killing intent grew even stronger; this was what he truly needed! "And this token... perhaps it might be useful."

He put away the ring, the Heart Fire pillar slowly receded, and the Chaos Qi Flow also returned to calm.

His gaze turned westward, where the largest crimson skull was marked on the beast hide map, and also the ultimate destination pointed to by the blood-colored beast hide map—the Demon Abyss Fissure!

"Demon Abyss Fissure... Evil God's lair... evolution points!"

Without further delay, he took a step, and space violently twisted.

Movement Technique!

His figure instantly vanished from the spot, leaving behind only widespread devastation and a headless Marquis's corpse, silently recounting the horror that had just occurred.

Several days later, the Prefecture was thoroughly shaken!

News swept through every corner like a hurricane:

"Have you heard?! The fiendish Lin Jingyu! First, he annihilated the entire Ziyang Sect! Then, he slaughtered the three Elders of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and the Young Lord of the Nangong Family! Finally... in the desolate mountains outside the city, he directly blew up the imperial envoy Marquis Wuwei, Qin Zhenyue!"

"Hiss... Marquis Wuwei was a Divine Treasury Realm Peak! That Lin Jingyu... could he be an old monster of the Dharma Aspect Realm?!"

"What Dharma Aspect Realm! According to the residual images from eyewitnesses... he had just broken through to the Divine Treasury Realm at that time! He defied and defeated a Divine Treasury Realm Ninth Layer Peak with only the First Layer of the Divine Treasury Realm! One punch, head exploded!"

"My heavens! Is this... is this still human?!"

"The Dynasty is enraged! The Prince of Zhennan roared in the Golden Imperial Hall! His Majesty has issued an imperial decree, listing the fiendish Lin Jingyu as the 'Number One Most Wanted Criminal'! He dominates the Fiend's List... with a bounty... to be enfeoffed as a King!"

"Not just the Dynasty! The forces behind the Treasure Gathering Pavilion have declared that they will definitely kill this fiend! The Nangong Family has even offered a massive reward to recruit powerful experts for revenge!"

"The Prefecture is about to change! Where will this fiend go next?"

"Who knows? I heard... someone saw a meteor-like escape light heading towards the Demon Abyss Fissure in the far west..."

"Demon Abyss Fissure?! That's a Jedi (desperate land) that even Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators dare not easily venture into! He... what is he going there for? To seek death?"

"Seek death? Heh... for this fiend, it's probably... a hunting ground!"

The name of the fiendish Lin Jingyu was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every Martial Artist and force in the Prefecture, like the most terrifying nightmare.

And the center of the storm, carrying monstrous fierce flames, was heading straight for that dark lair infested with demons!
