177: The War of Destruction Begins

The voice was like a clap of thunder from the Nine Heavens exploding in Yun Wuya's ears. He lay on the ground, his cheek pressed against the cold rock, his bones groaning under the unbearable pressure.

The Quasi-Emperor's pressure was like ten thousand great mountains pressing down, making him unable to even lift a finger.

“Lin… Tianhai…” Yun Wuya squeezed the name through his teeth, then looked at Lin Changxue and the other, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He clearly remembered that a few months ago, the other party was only at the Saint Emperor Realm, not even as strong as him, a Saint Emperor Realm ninth heaven.

But now, the pressure they emitted was clearly at the Quasi-Emperor level!

Moreover, he felt that this pressure was even stronger than that of the several Quasi-Emperors in his Lingyun Pavilion…

How was this possible?

Even if they had obtained a Heavenly Emperor's Legacy, it would be impossible to break through to Quasi-Emperor in just a few months, and even surpass the Ancestors of his Lingyun Pavilion…

In Yun Tianya's eyes,

Lin Changxue came walking on snow, her black hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall. With each step, crystalline ice lotuses condensed beneath her feet.

Lin Changfeng followed closely behind, his green robes fluttering, surrounded by visible green vortices.

And whether it was the ice lotuses beneath Lin Changxue's feet or the green vortices around Lin Changfeng, the fluctuations they emitted were undoubtedly at the Quasi-Emperor level, which could not be faked.

This was enough to show that both had entered the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

“You… you…” Yun Tianya opened his mouth incoherently, but didn't know what to say.

What made Yun Wuya even more desperate was that Lin Family powerhouses were still continuously pouring out of the passage…

Twenty Holy Emperors, a hundred Saint Kings, hundreds of Grand Saints… This lineup, excluding a few Quasi-Emperor Ancestors, was enough to annihilate his Lingyun Pavilion!

One must know that including him, his Lingyun Pavilion only had sixteen Saint Emperor Realm cultivators, sixty-seven Saint Kings, and merely one hundred forty-three Grand Saint Realm cultivators. Compared to the Lin Family's lineup, they had no chance of winning at all.

Even at lower Realms, the Lin Family absolutely crushed his Lingyun Pavilion.

He felt as if death was beckoning to him…

Lin Tianhai looked down at Yun Wuya on the ground, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: “Where is Sect Master Yun going? Chunxiang Pavilion?” He repeated Yun Wuya’s earlier monologue word for word, “Unfortunately, you can’t go anywhere now.”

“Big Brother, Lingyun Pavilion was actually able to send him out. It seems there are quite a few good things, hehe…” Lin Tianyu walked over, stomped on Yun Tianya’s face, and chuckled.

His eyes were full of anticipation and longing for treasures.

Although his Lin Family was not short of treasures now, who would complain about having too many treasures?

“Lin Tianyu!! How dare you step on my face!” Yun Tianya roared, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from Lin Changxue's suppression.

In the past, as the Sect Master of Lingyun Pavilion, wherever he went, he was always given the utmost respect. Even the Sect Masters and Family Heads of other Quasi-Emperor forces would treat him with courtesy. When had he ever been so humiliated like this?

The anger made him temporarily forget the fear he had just felt.

“Lin Tianyu, I’m going to kill you…”

“Noisy!” Lin Changxue waved her jade hand, and Yun Tianya was instantly frozen.

The bone-chilling cold instantly brought Yun Tianya back to his senses, and a deep fear showed in his eyes.

“Tianyu, kill him.” Lin Changxue seemed too lazy to deal with such trash, so she casually threw the frozen Yun Tianya to Lin Tianyu, letting Lin Tianyu take care of him.

“Hehe, as you command, Second Ancestor.” Lin Tianyu chuckled, then pulled out his Natal Sacred Blade.

Looking at Lin Tianyu coming with the blade, Yun Tianya completely panicked.

No… don't come over!

Unfortunately, he was frozen by Lin Changxue and couldn't escape at all, let alone resist.

“Die, Yun Tianya.” Lin Tianyu’s decisive strike sent Yun Tianya straight to the underworld.

“Lingyun Pavilion, it’s time for reckoning.”

Lin Tianhai turned to face the Lingyun Pavilion, which was shrouded by a Formation, and formed a hand seal.

Above his head, a dazzling blue light suddenly erupted, and complex, profound runes appeared in the air.

These runes moved like living creatures, eventually attaching themselves to the grand Formation.

“Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Grand Formation, retract!”

With a command, the Formation that had covered Lingyun Pavilion for several months began to shake violently.

Then, to the shock of countless Lingyun Pavilion Disciples, the mysterious grand Formation that had “imprisoned” them for several months instantly vanished.

They finally “saw the light of day” again.

However, before they could rejoice, they saw the vast Lin Family army outside, densely packed and already surrounding their Lingyun Pavilion, making it impenetrable.

Clearly, the newcomers meant no good…

“What… what’s going on?”

“Who are these people? Why are they surrounding my Lingyun Pavilion?”

Clearly, the ordinary Disciples of Lingyun Pavilion did not understand the root cause of the matter.

“I know, that’s the Lin Family, they are all from the Lin Family.”

…

“All Disciples of Lingyun Pavilion, listen to my command, prepare for battle immediately!”

A roar came from the forbidden area of the main peak.

Lingyun Old Ancestor’s hair stood on end, and he, along with the other three Quasi-Emperor Ancestors of Lingyun Pavilion, soared into the sky.

Their previously withered faces were now contorted with rage, and despairing flames burned in their eyes.

Subsequently, the Grand Elders, core Elders, and others of Lingyun Pavilion all soared into the sky, positioning themselves behind Lingyun Old Ancestor and the others.

“Lin Family! Are you really going to exterminate us?!” Lingyun Old Ancestor’s face was slightly pale as he roared.

What he feared most was the Lin Family coming with an Emperor Weapon to destroy his Lingyun Pavilion; in that case, they would have no chance of winning at all…

Seeing Lingyun Old Ancestor and the others appear, Lin Changxue took a step forward, her Quasi-Emperor eighth heaven pressure pressing down without reservation: “Old man, ever since you tried to destroy my Lin Family a few months ago, we have been in a life-and-death struggle.”

“Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to say that now?”

With each word she spoke, another snowflake appeared in the air. “Today, we have only one goal, and that is to destroy your Lingyun Pavilion!”

As the last word left her lips, the world changed dramatically!

Centered on Lin Changxue, an area of one hundred thousand miles instantly entered winter.

It wasn’t just ordinary cold, but an absolute cold that could even freeze spiritual energy.

The surfaces of the buildings on Lingyun Pavilion’s main peak quickly became covered with thick layers of ice. Those Disciples with low cultivation who couldn’t be rescued in time by the several Quasi-Emperors of Lingyun Pavilion were directly frozen into ice sculptures, solidified in place in their fleeing postures.

“Quasi-Emperor eighth heaven?!” Lingyun Old Ancestor’s pupils constricted sharply.

Information from a few months ago showed that Lin Changxue was merely at the Saint Emperor Realm seventh heaven, yet now she had reached such a Realm!

The several Quasi-Emperors of Lingyun Pavilion suddenly felt as if their cultivation had gone to the dogs.

This Lin Family must have obtained an Heaven-Defying Opportunity!

Could it be a Heavenly Emperor's Legacy?

Lingyun Old Ancestor and the others instantly thought of this possibility, their hearts filled with both envy and longing.

Yes, besides a Heavenly Emperor's Legacy, what else could allow a mere Saint Emperor Realm seventh heaven cultivator to reach the height of a Quasi-Emperor eighth heaven in just a few months?

“Old fellow, it’s time to go.” Lin Changxue’s lips curved slightly, and she gently raised her jade hand. “Take this, Myriad Snow Buries Heaven.”

The countless snowflakes falling from the sky suddenly stilled, then all reversed direction, shooting towards Lingyun Old Ancestor.

The edge of each snowflake shimmered with the light of Laws, and wherever they passed, the space was cut into fine black lines.

“Boundless Cloud Sea!”

Lingyun Old Ancestor dared not be negligent, forming hand seals, and an overwhelming mist surged around him.

These mists were not ordinary water vapor, but the materialization of the Cloud Law he had cultivated for tens of thousands of years.

The mists collided with the snowflakes, erupting in a deafening roar.

The two Grand Dao Laws eroded each other, and space collapsed in swathes.

“Hmph! A battle in the void.” Lingyun Old Ancestor knew that today would certainly not end well, so he prepared to fight with all his might.

“Why not?”
