156: Quasi-Emperor Locks the Heavens

The Prodigies of the Lin family had been wiping out the black-robed Saint Realm figures like withered weeds and rotten wood.

Just as they were about to press their advantage and assist the Blood Slaughterer in dealing with the three Quasi-Emperor Shadow Figures, a sudden change occurred!

"Hum—!"

A dull humming sound, yet one that seemed to resonate deep within the Divine Soul of everyone, suddenly rang out!

Visible above the Blood God Sect, countless ink-black chains branded with complex Seal runes appeared out of thin air.

They crisscrossed, instantly weaving into a massive network that covered the entire firmament!

Upon the chains, ghostly light flowed, and a terrifying power that suppressed all things and locked down space and time permeated the area!

The Sky-Locking Array!

Once this array appeared, the space where the entire Blood God Sect resided seemed to have been forcibly severed from the Primal Ancient Realm, isolated from the outside world.

Even the circulation of the Laws of heaven and earth became incredibly sluggish!

Even for a Quasi-Emperor, breaking this array would require significant effort!

"Not good!"

The Blood Slaughterer, who was locked in fierce battle with the three shadow figures, saw his expression change drastically.

He felt that his connection to the Blood Sea Nether Chart had been weakened by this array.

Even more heart-palpitating was a terrifying aura, far more vast and profound than those three shadow figures, which seemed to wield death and finality itself, slowly descending from above the array!

A figure shrouded in thick Death Qi, with an indiscernible face—only a pair of indifferent eyes, cold as eternal ice, clearly visible—stepped down the Void Realm chains, step by step.

The strength of its aura had reached the Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven!

"I intended to fish for some small fry, but I never expected to lure this group of rare Dragon Carp from the Lin family... Not bad, very not bad."

The voice of the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor was hoarse, carrying a playfulness like a cat toying with a mouse.

"Capturing you all and extracting your Bloodline and Physique will surely be excellent nourishment."

His gaze directly ignored the Blood Slaughterer and the three shadow figures, falling instead upon the gathered Lin family members below, as if looking at lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Protect Huan and Exquisite!"

Lin Hao shouted.

Together with Ye Chen, Lin Qingyi, Yang Yan, Moon Radiance, Lin Yun, and Phoenix Spirit, the seven of them instantly stepped forward, shielding Lin Huan and the weakened Blood Exquisite in the center.

The other Lin family Prodigies also quickly tightened their formation, forming a battle array.

Facing the pressure of a Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven, everyone had an expression grave to the extreme, but not a single person retreated!

"Do the lights of ants dare to compete with the bright moon?"

The Death Qi Quasi-Emperor sneered.

Without even using a Divine Ability, he casually raised a palm wrapped in Death Qi and pressed it gently downward toward the direction of the Lin family members.

Boom!

A grey-black giant palm, condensed from pure Law of Death, seemed to carry a world of death.

Bearing the will to annihilate vitality and end all things, it ignored spatial distance and instantly appeared above the heads of the Lin family members, pressing down slowly!

Before the palm print arrived, the terrifying pressure of death had already turned the faces of many Lin family disciples pale.

Those with weaker cultivation, like Lin Yan and Lin Ziyan, felt as if their Divine Soul were about to freeze and their Physical Body about to disintegrate!

This was the crushing pressure of an absolute Realm!

No matter how high the talent or how strong the Physique of the Lin family members were, facing a furious strike from a Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven, they were simply powerless to resist!

"Fight with everything!"

Determination flashed in the eyes of Lin Hao.

Exchanging glances with the other six, brilliant light erupted from within all seven of them simultaneously!

It was the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance they had obtained, triggered by the life-and-death crisis, protecting its masters on its own!

A cyan sword shadow containing supreme Dao of sword will (Lin Hao), a golden Saint shadow with surging blood energy that fought heaven and earth (Ye Chen), a flying immortal shadow of ethereal immortal light that transcended the mortal world (Lin Qingyi), the phantoms of a brilliant sun and a cold, bright moon (Yang Yan, Moon Radiance), a Star Domain where galaxies flowed and double pupils opened the sky (Lin Yun), and a cluster of eternal, noble, and majestic Phoenix divine fire (Phoenix Spirit)!

Seven phantoms soared into the sky.

Although blurry, they carried a trace of Imperial Dao aura that reigned above all living beings, violently colliding with the descending giant palm of death!

Boom—!!!!!!

An earth-shattering explosion resounded through the locked sky!

The seven Heavenly Emperor Inheritance phantoms perished together with the giant palm of death, turning into a violent energy storm that impacted in all directions!

Lin Hao and the other six groaned in unison, their faces instantly turning pale, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths, their auras wilting.

Ultimately, their Realm was too low.

By forcibly triggering the core power of the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance to resist an attack far beyond their own level, they suffered a severe backlash and had no power left to fight in the short term.

"Oh? You managed to block a strike from this Emperor? As expected of a Heavenly Emperor Inheritance, truly profound."

A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor, but it was immediately replaced by even deeper greed.

"Unfortunately, how many more times can you block?"

He raised his hand again, and another finger-beam, more condensed and richer in Death Qi, like a judgment from the Nine Netherworlds, pointed toward the core of the Lin family members who no longer had the strength to resist!

This finger strike was aimed directly at Lin Hao, Ye Chen, and the others, its intent clear: to first cripple these seedlings with the greatest potential!

Seeing the finger-beam about to descend, despair and unwillingness appeared in the eyes of Lin Hao and the others...

Just at this moment—

Lin Huan, who had been quietly staying in the center protected by everyone, suddenly raised his head.

In his pure and clear eyes, there was no fear, only a trace of displeasure at being disturbed.

He did not speak, but silently took a small step forward, blocking in front of his older brothers and sisters.

Then, at the very moment the finger-beam of death, capable of easily annihilating those at the Peak of the Saint Realm, was about to hit them, a layer of soft, pure white radiance naturally lit up around Lin Huan.

This radiance was not dazzling, yet it seemed to contain the most primal, most fundamental power of heaven and earth.

It did not emit any powerful pressure; it simply flowed around Lin Huan like water ripples.

The next moment, that terrifying finger-beam of death accurately hit this layer of white radiance.

The moment the finger-beam, containing the Law of Death of a Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven, touched the white radiance, it was like a drop of water merging into the ocean—like a clay ox entering the sea—and silently... vanished.

It was completely absorbed and decomposed by that seemingly weak layer of radiance, turning into the most basic energy particles and merging into the white light without stirring up the slightest ripple.

It was as if that attack had never existed.

The entire locked space fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone widened their eyes, looking in disbelief at the young man in green robes standing at the very front, with soft white light flowing around him and an expression that still seemed somewhat bewildered.

Resisting a strike from a Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven?

No, it was absorbing a strike from a Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven?!

This... how is this possible?!

Even the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor, who had remained indifferent like stagnant water, showed shock for the first time.

His cold eyes stared fixedly at Lin Huan, as if wanting to see through him from the inside out!

"You... what kind of monster are you?!"

The voice of the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor, for the first time, carried a trace of imperceptible fluctuation.

Lin Huan raised his head, looked at the guy in the sky emitting a disgusting aura, wrinkled his little nose, and said with some unhappiness:

"You disturbed the rest of the brothers and sisters."
