105: Saint King Peak, Power of Time

Lin Dao's move 'Chaos Opens Heaven' repelled the five Saint Kings, and the scene fell into an eerie stagnation.

The five Saint Kings steadied themselves, their expressions extremely ugly, yet no one dared to step forward again easily.

The combat power Lin Dao displayed had completely exceeded their understanding of the Saint King Realm First Level, and the dominance of the Chaos Law made them feel fearful.

Below, the members of the Lin Clan, having survived the ordeal, erupted in earth-shaking cheers, their gazes toward Lin Dao filled with fanaticism and pride.

The Old Ancestor's strength had once again refreshed their understanding!

However, Lin Dao did not feel the slightest relaxation in his heart.

He knew clearly that although that strike just now was shocking, it was more due to the supreme Concept of 'Chaos Opens Heaven' catching the opponent off guard, as well as the natural suppression of the Primordial Divine Demon Body over forces of the same level.

In a true life-and-death struggle, facing five experienced and cunning Saint Kings, two of whom had Realms far higher than his, the outcome was still unknown.

Sure enough, just as those five Saint Kings were in doubt and uncertainty, a more aged voice, seemingly containing the dust of time, slowly sounded:

'Enough.'

The voice came from the depths of the Ancient God Heavenly Domain camp.

Following the voice, an old man dressed in simple hemp clothes, with a withered face and holding a charred wooden staff, stepped out from the Void Realm step by step.

His pace was slow, but every step seemed to tread upon the river of time. His body revealed no powerful aura, yet all the Saint Kings present, including Lin Dao, felt an invisible pressure.

'Grand Elder!'

Upon seeing the old man, Saint King Jinyang immediately bowed and saluted, his attitude incomparably respectful.

The other Saint Kings, including the arrogant Nine-Headed Lion Saint King, also looked at the old man with deep awe.

This old man in hemp clothes was one of the true foundations of the Ancient God Heavenly Domain for this trip, an old monster who had lived for who knows how many thousands of years—Grand Elder Zhukun. His cultivation had already reached the Peak Saint King Realm Ninth Level! He was only a step away from the legendary Great Saint Realm!

Grand Elder Zhukun's murky gaze swept across the battlefield, paused slightly at the place where the Nine Nether King had fallen, and finally landed on Lin Dao.

'Young man, you are very good.'

Grand Elder Zhukun's voice was flat and waveless. 'The Primordial Divine Demon Body, the Chaos Law, being able to cultivate to the Saint King Realm in the Dharma-ending-like Nine Provinces, your talent and Opportunity are both rare throughout the ages.'

His tone shifted, carrying an unquestionable meaning: 'But, it ends here. The innocent may become guilty because of their treasures. The Legacy on you, as well as the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance within those seven children, is not something your Lin Clan can protect. Hand over the Legacy, and I can make the decision to leave a trace of Bloodline for your Lin Clan to continue.'

The gap between the Peak Saint King Realm Ninth Level and the Saint King Realm First Level was even greater than the gap between a Saint and a Mortal!

That was another leap in the essence of life, and the mastery of the Law was already approaching Perfection.

In his eyes, no matter how Heaven-Defying Lin Dao was, it was absolutely impossible for him to cross this chasm.

With the appearance of Grand Elder Zhukun, within the other major forces, two equally deep and obscure auras flickered in and out of existence, clearly their hidden trump cards that were not weaker than Zhukun.

Although they did not appear directly, their attitude was clear—they tacitly approved of Zhukun taking action, or rather, they believed that Zhukun alone was enough to resolve everything.

Pressure, like an invisible tide, surged towards Lin Dao and the Lin Clan once again.

Lin Dao looked at Grand Elder Zhukun, feeling that vast pressure like an abyss.

He did not answer Zhukun's words, but instead slowly adjusted his own breathing. The strength of the Saint King Realm First Level within his body fused fully with the Chaos Law and the Primordial Divine Demon Body, his essence, Qi, and spirit highly concentrated, climbing to the Peak.

Facing the Peak Saint King Realm, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

'It seems you have chosen a dead end.'

Grand Elder Zhukun shook his head slightly, appearing somewhat regretful, but his attack was merciless.

He did not use the charred wooden staff but merely raised his withered right hand, pointed his index finger at Lin Dao, and tapped lightly.

'Freeze.'

His words became Law!

A primitive Dao script of 'Freeze' flew out from his fingertip, growing in the wind, instantly transforming into ten thousand zhang in size, suppressing down towards Lin Dao!

This Dao script was not condensed from energy, but was composed of pure Space-Time Law and a trace of faint Heaven and Earth authority!

Wherever it passed, time stagnated, space solidified, and all things were frozen!

This was the power of an 'Incantation' that transcended ordinary Law attacks!

The space around Lin Dao instantly became like amber, imprisoning him tightly within; even his thinking seemed to be coming to a standstill!

He felt that all connections between himself and the outside world had been severed, and the operation of the Chaos Law had become incomparably difficult!

'Break!'

Lin Dao roared, his Minor Achievement Primordial Divine Demon Body erupting with dazzling dark golden divine light, forcibly opening a slit. He pushed out the power of 'Chaos Opens Heaven' with both palms again, blasting towards the 'Freeze' Dao script that was suppressing him!

Boom!!! This collision was far more violent than any before it!

The blinding light temporarily blinded everyone, and the terrifying energy storm swept across tens of thousands of miles. If not for the fact that the Nine Provinces' rules had been initially perfected, this single blow would have been enough to cause the continent to crack!

The light dissipated, only to see that the 'Freeze' Dao script was still slowly pressing down; although its light had dimmed significantly, it had not shattered.

Lin Dao, meanwhile, had been shaken and sent flying back several thousand zhang, a trace of golden blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, his blood and Qi churning endlessly.

He was injured!

A casual strike from the Peak Saint King Realm Ninth Level had caused him to suffer a minor injury!

'Old Ancestor!'

The hearts of the Lin Clan members sank suddenly.

Grand Elder Zhukun's expression did not change, appearing to have expected this: 'To be able to take one of my 'Space-Freezing Incantations', you have enough to be proud of. But, that is only as far as it goes.'

He raised his hand again, this time, his five fingers spread, his palm facing Lin Dao, slowly clenching.

'Destroy.'

Another Dao script flew out, transforming into a gray giant hand covering the sky. On the giant hand, the Laws of destruction, ending, and returning to ruins were intertwined, as if to completely crush Lin Dao along with that space, turning it into nothingness!

The power of this strike was far beyond the previous one!

Lin Dao's eyes were solemn to the extreme; he felt a fatal crisis.

He knew he could not have any more reservations.

He took a deep breath, and the Primordial Divine Demon Body within his body, which was originally only close to Minor Achievement, at this moment, all the dark golden divine demon runes ignited and burned completely!

'Divine Demon... Incarnation!'

Boom!!! His body expanded in the wind, instantly transforming into a giant ten thousand zhang tall!

His skin presented a dark golden color, his muscles knotted like mountains, his body wrapped in primitive Chaos Qi, and his eyes were like two burning Chaos suns!

A terrifying aura, barbaric, ancient, capable of tearing the sky and stepping on the galaxy, swept across the Eight Desolations!

This was the true form of the Minor Achievement Primordial Divine Demon Body!

Lin Dao, having transformed into the Divine Demon Incarnation, faced the incoming gray giant hand, let out a roar that shook the Nine Heavens, and punched out directly!

Pure physical strength, combined with the Chaos Law, shattered the vacuum!

Fist and palm met!

No sound came out, because all sound was swallowed by the absolute nothingness generated at the center of the collision!

The next moment, the gray giant hand condensed from the power of the Incantation, starting from where the fist and palm met, cracked inch by inch! Finally, it exploded with a bang, turning into light streaming across the sky!

And the ten-thousand-zhang Divine Demon that Lin Dao had transformed into only swayed its body. Some fine cracks appeared on the dark golden fist, and golden blood flowed out, but in an instant, it healed under the powerful vitality!

He, with the Divine Demon Incarnation, had forcibly withstood Grand Elder Zhukun's 'Destroy' Incantation!

'What?!'

Grand Elder Zhukun's usually calm face finally revealed a look of shock for the first time! 'Your Divine Demon Body... has actually approached Major Achievement?!'

He could feel that after Lin Dao transformed into the Divine Demon Incarnation, his physical strength and affinity for the Chaos Law had skyrocketed by more than several times! This was definitely not as simple as Minor Achievement!

Not only Zhukun, but all the experts who saw that ten-thousand-zhang Divine Demon standing tall between heaven and earth were all shocked and lost their color!

'Primordial Divine Demon... is this the might of the Primordial Divine Demon?!'

'At the Saint King Realm First Level, relying on the Divine Demon Incarnation, he can actually hard-shake the Peak Saint King Realm?!'

'This child... must not be left alive! Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!'

The killing intent in Grand Elder Zhukun's eyes instantly reached its Peak. He no longer had any reservations, and the charred wooden staff in his hand was finally raised.

'To be able to force me to use the 'Time Staff', you can die without regrets!'

He waved the seemingly ordinary charred wooden staff, making a distant slash towards Lin Dao.

'Time... is like a blade!'

An invisible and intangible attack, yet containing the Concept of the passage of time and the decay of all things, crossed space and instantly descended upon the ten-thousand-zhang Divine Demon that Lin Dao had transformed into!

This was not a physical attack, nor was it an energy attack, but a blade of time that acted directly on the Origin of life!
