157: Primordial Power
The soft layer of white radiance around his body flowed silently.
However, this seemingly harmless radiance made the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor feel an unprecedented sense of palpitation and... a hint of indescribable fear!
The Aura of the Primal Origin contained within that white light was so pure and ancient that it caused the Law of Death within his body to instinctively tremble, as if it had encountered its natural nemesis!
"Impossible! How could such a Physique exist in this world?!"
The Death Qi Quasi-Emperor was shocked, but he was a powerhouse at the Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven after all. With a firm will, he instantly suppressed his fear, and his killing intent grew even stronger!
"This child must not be left alive! Otherwise, there will be endless trouble!"
He no longer held back, and the Death Qi around his body erupted, as if the curtain of the Nine Nether Hell had been lifted!
Countless wailing phantoms of vengeful souls floated in the Death Qi, and the temperature inside the entire Heaven-Locking Array plummeted; even the space seemed about to freeze!
"Nine Nether Yellow Springs Finger! Annihilation!"
He pressed his fingers together like a sword. What condensed at his fingertips was no longer just the simple Law of Death, but a deeper power of annihilation!
A grey finger beam that seemed capable of ending all things and returning everything to nothingness, like a life-taking arrow shot from the depths of the Yellow Springs, tore through the Void Realm. Carrying a Dao Rhyme of annihilation that would make even a Quasi-Emperor change color, it struck towards Lin Huan again!
This strike was far more powerful than before!
Facing this even more terrifying strike, the displeasure on Lin Huan's little face became more apparent.
He could feel that this attack was even more "annoying" than the previous one, and the power contained within it was darker, making him instinctively feel uncomfortable.
He did not retreat. Instead, as if his temper had been provoked, the Primal Origin Scripture within his body began to operate on its own at an unprecedented speed!
That protective white light suddenly became brighter. It was no longer purely soft, but instead emitted a supreme Aura that brooked no violation and cleansed all things!
The Annihilation finger beam arrived in an instant, colliding with the white radiance once again!
Sss—!
This time, it was not completely silent.
It was as if hot oil had met cold water, producing a violent, teeth-grinding sound of erosion!
The grey power of annihilation frantically struck and corroded the white radiance, attempting to assimilate and annihilate it!
However, the white light transformed from the Primal Origin had resilience beyond imagination!
Like a Chaos barrier that had existed since the dawn of time, no matter how the power of annihilation struck, it only rippled slightly. As the radiance flowed, it slowly decomposed, purified, and absorbed that power filled with destruction!
Within a few breaths, the "Nine Nether Yellow Springs Finger," which was powerful enough to severely injure a Middle Stage Quasi-Emperor, was once again ground down and devoured by the Primal Origin white light around Lin Huan!
Not only that, after devouring this powerful force of annihilation, the radiance around Lin Huan seemed to become a bit more condensed. His Saint Realm Aura, which had been somewhat unstable due to his recent Breakthrough, was actually stabilized quite a bit, and even faintly improved!
"Hiccup~" Lin Huan even subconsciously let out a small hiccup, as if he were a bit full from eating too much.
He touched his stomach, which had not changed at all, and looked up at the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor in the air, his eyes even more dissatisfied: "Your power doesn't taste good, and it's a bit filling."
"..."
The entire scene fell into an eerie silence once again.
The Blood God Sect Disciples, the Lin Family Prodigies, and even the Blood Slaughterer and the three Quasi-Emperor Shadow Figures all stared at the boy who was complaining about it "not tasting good" as if they were petrified.
This was no longer just surprise; it was terror!
Twice in a row, he had lightly neutralized the killing move of a Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven, and even... "ate" it?
What kind of Heaven-Defying Physique and ability was this?!
Ye Chen opened his mouth wide, and it took a while for him to close it before he slapped his thigh violently: "Holy crap! Little Huan, when did you become so fierce?!"
Lin Hao and the others also looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
They knew Lin Huan was extraordinary, a person valued by the Old Ancestor, but they had not expected him to be extraordinary to this extent!
The Death Qi Quasi-Emperor's mentality was even starting to collapse.
He had lived for countless years and had seen all kinds of storms and waves; he had also seen many kinds of Saint Physiques and Divine Physiques. But a monster like Lin Huan, who could use Saint Realm cultivation to continuously take head-on and "digest" his Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven killing moves, was unheard of!
"Primal Origin... could it be the legendary Primal Origin Body?!"
An ancient title flashed through his mind, causing his whole body to tremble violently!
If this were truly the case, then this child's value would simply be immeasurable!
But at the same time, the Karma behind him was great enough to crush an Immortal Power!
He must be captured! At all costs!
A flash of madness crossed the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor's eyes. He no longer attacked alone but sent a voice transmission to the three Quasi-Emperor Shadow Figures who had been entangling the Blood Slaughterer: "Attack together! Suppress that boy first! He is the greatest Treasure Trove!"
Upon hearing this, the three Quasi-Emperor Shadow Figures immediately abandoned the Blood Slaughterer. Their figures flickered as they positioned themselves in a square formation with the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor, surrounding the Lin Family members, especially Lin Huan, in the center!
Four Quasi-Emperors, one of whom was at the Sixth Heaven, and three at around the Third Heaven!
At the same time, they released terrifying Quasi-Emperor pressure, triggering resonance in the Heaven-Locking Array. Endless sealing runes fell like black snowflakes, converging into four immensely thick chains of Law. Like four ferocious black dragons, they coiled towards Lin Huan from four directions!
They intended to forcibly Seal and suppress him!
Facing the joint suppression of four Quasi-Emperors, the Primal Origin white light around Lin Huan surged again, struggling to resist the omnipresent power of the Seal.
The white light collided fiercely with the black chains, emitting a harsh friction sound; space constantly twisted and shattered.
However, Lin Huan's cultivation was still shallow after all. No matter how Heaven-Defying the Primal Origin Body was, it could not resist the joint efforts of four Quasi-Emperors for long.
Under the entanglement of the four chains of Law, the white radiance began to shrink slightly, and its light also appeared slightly dim.
For the first time, a look of strain appeared on Lin Huan's little face, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
"Protect Brother Huan!"
Seeing this, Lin Hao, Ye Chen, and the others were anxious. Ignoring their own injuries, they forcibly activated their remaining mana, launching various Divine Abilities, Sword Qi, and blood energy towards the four chains, attempting to share the pressure for Lin Huan.
But their attacks landed on the Quasi-Emperor level chains of Law with negligible effect.
The Blood Slaughterer also wanted to rescue him, but he was firmly locked by the Heaven-Locking Array and the Auras of the four Quasi-Emperors, making it difficult to break through in the first instance.
Seeing that the white light around Lin Huan was becoming dimmer and dimmer, and the four Death chains were about to break through the defense and Seal him completely...
Just at this critical moment—
"You dare to touch the Qilin of my Lin Family... what immense audacity!"
A calm voice, yet filled with endless majesty and cold killing intent, seemed to come from the end of eternal time and space, ringing clearly in the deepest parts of everyone's Divine Soul!
Crack—!!!
The indestructible Heaven-Locking Array, which could even trap Quasi-Emperors, was like glass struck by an invisible giant hammer; a huge hole exploded open at the top!
A figure in green robes, with hands behind his back, stepped in through the broken hole.
He looked ordinary, and there was no oppressive Aura around his body, but with his entry, the entire sealed space seemed to be injected with infinite vitality and vigor. The pervasive Death Qi and the intent of annihilation, as if encountering their nemesis, quickly receded and disintegrated!
It was Lin Dao!
His gaze swept across the scene. Upon seeing Lin Huan, whose face was pale and whose white radiance was flickering, and Lin Hao, Ye Chen, and others who were heavily injured, his eyes, deep as the abyss, instantly turned ice-cold!
He did not look at the four Quasi-Emperors who were facing a formidable enemy, but instead gently flicked his sleeve towards Lin Huan's direction.
A gentle yet vast flow of Chaos Qi, like spring breeze and rain, instantly swept over Lin Huan's body.
The four chains of Law of Death that were coiling around him, condensed by the joint efforts of the four Quasi-Emperors, were like residual snow under the sun in front of this flow of Chaos Qi. They could not even hold for a single breath before they shattered inch by inch, turning into pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which was subconsciously absorbed by the Primal Origin white light around Lin Huan.
Lin Huan only felt his whole body lighten. The powerful sense of oppression instantly disappeared, and the Origin power consumed within his body also rapidly recovered under that flow of Qi from the Old Ancestor.
He looked at Lin Dao in the air, his eyes lighting up, and he shouted happily: "Old Ancestor!"
Lin Dao nodded slightly to him, and then, that cold gaze finally fell upon the four Quasi-Emperors whose faces had changed drastically and whose minds were shaken.
"Who gave you the gall?"
The plain question, however, was like a burden of billions of jun, crashing down on the hearts of the four Quasi-Emperors.
