235: Forged with the spirit of battle, the Flame Guardian undergoes a transformation!

"Your Highness..."

Fu Ying's voice was not just grave, but carried a slight tremor.

"I can't see through any of them!!!"

What could it be that he couldn't see through at all!

God Rank!!! A thousand-man legion, all at least God Rank!!!

If not for the Aura emanating from them bearing distinct Human Race characteristics, he would have ordered the Flame Guards to self-destruct desperately to clear a path for Lin Yan right now.

As for the words he spoke, Lin Yan seemed to have completely lost his hearing, as if he hadn't heard them at all.

Only his eyes trembled slightly as he slowly moved his feet, step by step, walking toward that legion.

Seeing this, Fu Ying and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they were about to step forward.

The calm gazes of the thousand-man legion, who could now fully see Lin Yan's entire figure, also changed.

Then came a loud "Boom!"

The synchronized sound of marching forward shook the heavens, its momentum so immense it was like ten thousand horses galloping, or mountains collapsing and the earth splitting.

Along with this marching sound came an unparalleled, powerful Aura that rushed straight toward Fu Ying and the others.

In an instant.

They felt as if they had been struck head-on by a massive mountain, utterly unable to resist the terrifying impact, and were instantly sent flying by this powerful Aura.

"Your High..."

Fu Ying roared, looking up.

However, when he clearly saw what was happening ahead, all his expressions turned to bewilderment and shock in an instant.

Lin Yan had already arrived in front of the thousand-man legion.

The imagined great battle or tense atmosphere did not exist.

Instead.

Boom——!

The legion soldiers simultaneously knelt on one knee toward Lin Yan.

That's right!

Kneeling on one knee, toward Lin Yan.

The calmness in the soldiers' eyes had vanished, replaced by fervor, and within that fervor, a flicker of gentleness.

This scene not only left Fu Ying and the others utterly bewildered.

It also left Lin Yan, who had stepped forward, completely flustered, waving his hands repeatedly.

"I... I..."

He had just been unable to contain his excitement upon seeing Huaxia characters, never expecting such a situation to occur.

In his view, these were Huaxia Ancestors, ancestors kneeling to him... He glanced at the soldiers who had already risen, took a deep breath.

Huben... Huben... What legions in Huaxia history could be called Huben?

Tracing back too far, from the Xia dynasty onward there were the Huben Clan, continuing until imperial guards like the Yulin Army, representing palace guards or the emperor's personal guard titles.

But some valiant legions could also be granted this title.

So it was impossible to accurately determine the situation of the legion he was seeing now.

So... so... Lin Yan hesitated slightly.

"Do you... know me?"

The youth's voice sounded softly.

What answered him was a silence.

The thousand-man legion soldiers still gazed at him fervently, not making a sound, as if they hadn't heard at all.

Lin Yan pondered briefly, trying to walk a few steps left and right.

"Your Highness..." Fu Ying and the others cautiously stepped forward, looking at the many gazes that followed Lin Yan's movements.

Although that earlier impact was fierce, upon reflection they realized they hadn't suffered any damage.

After trying for a while, Lin Yan stopped, a flicker of disappointment in his eyes.

He had come to understand.

Although this Human Race legion appeared to be in a much better state than the alien races, and their eyes seemed clear.

They clearly also lacked their own consciousness.

Their appearance here was likely due to some subconscious stimulation.

What stimulation?

Their actions just now were quite clear—most likely, it was himself.

Thinking of this.

Lin Yan's heart grew even more agitated.

He had gained a bit more information, but there was no way to learn more.

He pondered for a long time, sighing softly in his heart.

Forget it, let's go.

He took another look at the thousand-man legion with their still-fervent eyes, and walked straight toward the Secret Realm exit.

Seeing this, Fu Ying and the others took a deep breath and immediately followed.

Given that earlier scene, there shouldn't be any dan... Suddenly.

A loud "Boom——!" of marching shook the entire earth.

Lin Yan's steps halted, a hint of vigilance just rising in his heart.

An overwhelmingly powerful force suddenly surged forth, pushing him directly out.

He immediately steadied himself, looked up, and his expression changed.

Fu Ying and the others, who should have been closely following behind him, were now completely surrounded by the Huben Army!

What's going on?

Lin Yan was about to step forward.

A voice filled with determination came from within the encirclement.

"Your Highness! Don't worry about us!!!"

This voice was from Fu Ying.

At this moment, he and the Flame Guards were staring into the Huben Army's scrutinizing eyes, faces full of defiance.

"If you want to fight, bring it on!"

Although they didn't understand why they had been inexplicably surrounded by this Ancient Battle Soul Legion of their own race while walking.

Seeing their own Your Highness safe and sound, their hearts settled.

At this critical moment.

Lin Yan charging forward like a gale, Fu Ying and the others preparing for a desperate fight—none of them noticed.

A flicker of barely perceptible admiration flashed in the eyes of the Huben Army soldiers.

Boom——!

A loud noise was heard.

Two hundred streaks of light shot out from the legion like lightning, instantly merging into the bodies of Fu Ying and the others, who had no time to react.

Screams of pain suddenly erupted.

"Ah!"

Fu Ying and the others' faces were contorted with pain.

"You..." Lin Yan's expression instantly turned furious.

Boom——!

Two Supreme One Auras erupted from his body like surging waves.

Black Flames coiled around him, his eyes shone white, the heavenly emperor halberd instantly appeared!

"Ancestors! I apologize for the offense!!!"

Lin Yan roared, swinging his arms, the heavenly emperor halberd in his hands transforming into an enormous halberd shadow, striking fiercely toward the Huben Army.

Just as the huge halberd shadow was about to land on the Huben Army.

The soldiers turned, uniformly and respectfully clasped their fists, then flashed and instantly vanished from the spot, as if they had never been there.

"Huh...!" Lin Yan's fierce attacking motion abruptly halted, and he stood there dumbfounded, face full of astonishment and confusion.

Before he could think too much.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, echoing continuously throughout the heavens and earth.

Lin Yan instinctively turned to look, his eyes suddenly shaking.

Not far away, Fu Ying and the others, who had been screaming in pain, now all stood quietly with their eyes closed.

An incredibly powerful Aura emanated from around them, as if endless power was continuously surging from within.

Even more astonishing, their cultivation was skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The Aura climbed wave after wave, like surging tides, with no sign of stopping.
