11: Suppress the Lord of Tianhuang City!

Two vast and majestic streams of energy instantly surged into Lin Dao's body!

Rumble!

Lin Dao's body trembled violently, and the Heaven and Earth Soul Bridge in his Sea of Consciousness erupted with dazzling divine light, making his Life Soul even more solidified!

The barrier that had been blocking him shattered with a crash as these two fresh forces joined in!

Life Soul Realm, Third Level!

Moreover, the momentum of his cultivation increase did not stop, stabilizing directly at the Middle Stage of the Third Level!

However, just as the Lin Family's morale was soaring and Lin Dao was making his Breakthrough—

A pressure far more terrifying, more magnificent, and imbued with the might of heaven than when Shi Lie arrived before, like a tangible sky, suddenly crushed down from the distant horizon!

The sky over the entire Qingfeng County instantly darkened, clouds churned, as if an angry deity had appeared!

A cold, majestic voice, filled with endless fury, like the Nine Heavens' thunder punishment, exploded deep within everyone's Soul:

"Lin Family Ancestor! This Seat has arrived in person, roll out and accept your death!"

Before the voice faded, a figure had already appeared above Qingfeng County.

That person wore a dark-gold Dragon-patterned robe, their face was blurred, and their body was surrounded by heart-pounding Law fluctuations; merely standing there, the pressure they exuded caused the ground of the entire Qingfeng County to tremble slightly, and the Lin Family mansion's protective light screen flickered wildly, instantly covered in cracks!

The City Lord of Tianhuang City!

A Life Soul Realm Cultivator!

Had personally arrived!

He had obviously received Shi Lie's 'disrespectful' reply and came in a rage, with monstrous killing intent!

Under this god-like pressure, all the Lin Family disciples turned pale; those with weaker cultivation even collapsed directly to the ground.

Lin Hao and Ye Chen, who had just broken through, also felt their Qi and blood surge, as they struggled to look up at the sky, their eyes filled with shock and solemnity, but even more, with burning Battle Intent!

Lin Dao slowly opened his eyes in the quiet room, his gaze devoid of joy or sorrow, only a chilling coldness.

"So, you've finally come?"

He took a step, and his figure vanished.

"Perfect, I'll use you to test my sword, and also let the Nine Provinces know that the Lin Family cannot be easily insulted."

The moment the door of the quiet room silently opened, the monstrous pressure and killing intent from outside surged in like a released floodgate, yet as it approached the white-robed figure, it silently melted and disintegrated like ice and snow meeting a scorching sun.

Lin Dao stepped out, already above the Lin Family, facing the figure in the dark-gold Dragon-patterned robe from afar.

Between heaven and earth, it seemed only these two figures remained.

Below was the deathly silent Qingfeng County and the struggling Lin Family mansion, above was the gloomy sky, distorted by the anger of a Life Soul Realm Cultivator.

The City Lord of Tianhuang City's face was shrouded in a blurred halo, only a pair of cold eyes, like two cold stars, pierced through the Void Realm, locking onto Lin Dao.

The Law fluctuations around him spread like ripples, making space itself groan in agony.

"You are the Lin Family Ancestor?"

The City Lord of Tianhuang City's voice held no emotion, only pure majesty and killing intent, "This Seat has arrived in person, yet you dare to make This Seat come to see you? It seems you are tired of living!"

As the last word fell, he made no movement, but his vast Divine Soul pressure, like an invisible giant mountain, crashed down upon Lin Dao!

This was a common tactic for Life Soul Realm Cultivators, using Divine Soul pressure to crush; lightly, it could cause one's mind to collapse, heavily, it could directly lead to Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

However, that terrifying Soul pressure, enough to instantly turn an ordinary Tongtian Realm Cultivator into an idiot, landed on Lin Dao like a mud ox entering the sea, failing to stir up even half a ripple.

Lin Dao's clothes didn't even flutter.

"Hmm?"

The City Lord of Tianhuang City let out a soft exclamation, a hint of surprise seemed to flash across his blurred face.

His Divine Soul pressure was actually ineffective against the opponent?

"A mere Second Level of the Life Soul Realm, yet you dare to be presumptuous in front of This Seat?"

Lin Dao finally spoke, his voice flat, yet clearly reaching the opponent's ears, carrying a condescending scrutiny, "It seems you've been too comfortable as this City Lord."

The City Lord of Tianhuang City's body suddenly trembled, and his eyes burst forth with incredulous light: "You can see through my cultivation?!"

He was at the Peak of the Second Level of the Life Soul Realm, and he believed his concealment was excellent, making it difficult for Cultivators of the same Realm to easily see through; how could the opponent expose him with a single word?

And that tone... a strong sense of unease instantly gripped him.

But with the arrow on the string, it had to be fired.

Being so lightly regarded, he was in a dilemma.

"Playing tricks! Die for This Seat!"

The City Lord of Tianhuang City roared, no longer probing, and directly attacked!

He pointed his fingers like a blade and slashed through the air!

Tear!

A hazy, gray blade light, imbued with the Concept of annihilation and decay, appeared out of thin air; wherever it passed, space seemed to lose its color, and vitality was cut off!

This was the power of the Law of Annihilation he had comprehended, its might far surpassing ordinary spiritual Qi attacks!

Facing this Annihilation Blade, Lin Dao's eyes remained calm.

He didn't even use any weapon or Magic Treasure; he simply slowly raised his right hand, fingers slightly spread, and gently clenched them towards the hazy blade light.

The movement was gentle, as if he were trying to grasp a wisp of clear wind.

Hum!

That terrifying blade light, capable of annihilating mountains and rivers and causing Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators to instantly age and die, suddenly solidified when it was still ten feet away from Lin Dao!

As if firmly grasped by an invisible large hand!

The next moment, as Lin Dao's five fingers closed—

Bang!

That hazy Annihilation Blade light, like fragile glazed glass, was forcefully crushed!

Turning into countless gray specks of light, scattering and annihilating!

"What?!"

The City Lord of Tianhuang City cried out in alarm, his eyes filled with utter terror!

His Law attack was actually crushed by the opponent with such ease, bare-handed?!

How was this possible?!

Even a master at the Third Level of the Life Soul Realm could absolutely not achieve such a feat!

"Is that all you've got?"

Lin Dao retracted his hand, his tone carrying a faint hint of disappointment, "If that's all, then let's end this."

He raised a finger, and at its tip, a faint light began to condense.

It wasn't a dazzling light, but rather somewhat dim.

But the moment this faint light appeared, the City Lord of Tianhuang City's hair stood on end, and an unprecedented sense of death crisis, originating from the deepest part of his Soul, instantly engulfed him like ice water poured over his head!

He felt as if he had been targeted by an ancient Vicious Beast, and the surrounding space was completely locked down, making it incredibly difficult to even move a finger!

"No!!!"

The City Lord of Tianhuang City let out a desperate roar, desperately burning his Divine Soul essence blood, as protective Magic Treasures automatically flew out, emitting various colored lights, attempting to resist.

However, Lin Dao merely pointed a finger at him, gently.

Whoosh—!

That faint light detached from his fingertip, silently streaking across the Void Realm.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no world-destroying Law fluctuations.

It simply flew forward quietly and swiftly.

The layers of protective light shields and Magic Treasure barriers in front of the City Lord of Tianhuang City, which were enough to withstand a full-strength attack from a Third Level of the Life Soul Realm Cultivator, shattered and dissipated silently like bubbles in the sun the moment they were touched by that faint light!

The faint light penetrated all obstacles, and finally, gently touched the City Lord of Tianhuang City's glabella.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

All of the City Lord of Tianhuang City's movements, roars, and fears froze.

His wide eyes were filled with absurdity, unwillingness, and complete bewilderment.

That faint light entered his glabella and disappeared.

The next moment—

Poof!

The City Lord of Tianhuang City's body, starting from within, silently turned into the finest dust, scattering with the wind.

Along with his Divine Soul, his Magic Treasures, and all traces of his existence, all were completely annihilated, as if he had never appeared in this world.

A powerful Peak Second Level of the Life Soul Realm Cultivator who had dominated a region, thus perished in both body and spirit!

Between heaven and earth, that terrifying pressure suddenly vanished.

The gloomy sky began to clear, and sunlight once again shone down.

Dead silence!

The entire Qingfeng County fell into an absolute dead silence!

Everyone who witnessed this scene, whether Lin Family members or spies from other forces observing from afar, all seemed to be under a spell, their minds blank.

It's over?

That City Lord of Tianhuang City, who was like a god or demon descending with monstrous pressure... was just... eliminated by Old Ancestor's single finger?

Lin Hao clenched the sword in his hand, his fingernails digging deep into his palm, his eyes filled with endless shock and yearning.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, his Qi and blood surging, and looked at Lin Dao's figure, filled with fervent adoration.

Lin Dao slowly retracted his finger, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

He glanced below and said indifferently, "The crisis is resolved, continue your Cultivation."

After speaking, his figure flashed, and he had already returned to the quiet room.

It wasn't until his figure had disappeared for a long time that the outside world erupted like a boiling pot, with deafening clamor and exclamations!

[Ding! Killed a powerful enemy at the Peak of the Second Level of the Life Soul Realm, eliminated a huge threat, and greatly increased Family prestige! Received a massive cultivation feedback!]

[Ding! Family influence radiates to several surrounding cities, expanding the invisible sphere of influence! Received cultivation feedback!]

[Ding! Family members' morale has reached its Peak, cohesion is unprecedented, and cultivation efficiency has improved! Received cultivation feedback!]

Inside the quiet room, a massive amount of feedback cultivation surged into Lin Dao's body like a breached flood.

His newly broken-through Third Level of the Life Soul Realm cultivation began to skyrocket wildly!

Middle Stage... Late Stage... Peak!

Boom!

The barrier was easily breached again!

Life Soul Realm, Fourth Level!

Moreover, the momentum of his cultivation increase remained fierce, stabilizing directly at the Middle Stage of the Fourth Level!

Lin Dao felt the increasingly vast power within his body, his eyes calm.

Tianhuang City was merely a stepping stone for him to reach higher Realms.

And after this battle, the name of the Lin Family would truly begin to reach the ears of certain forces in Qingzhou.
