62: The Lin family, a celestial level family!

The main estate of the Lin Family of Qingzhou was bustling with noise and excitement, presenting a magnificent sight.

The massive Heaven-Sacrificial Altar towered into the clouds; flags fluttered upon it, and runes flowed, while the sky was filled with an increasingly brilliant, pale golden canopy of Luck.

In the square below, guests had long since gathered. Envoys from the major Sects, aristocratic families, and Imperial Dynasties of the Nine Heavens, as well as observers with obscure Auras—clearly from reclusive powers—sat in separate sections, their gazes varied.

The three Saints, Lin Hao, Ye Chen, and Lin Yun, dressed in grand attire, their Auras deep and heavy as an abyss, stood at three important positions on the levels of the Heaven-Sacrificial Altar, like three pillars holding up the sea.

Phoenix Spirit stood obediently near the direction of the ancestral hall, accompanied by the Acting Clan Head, her small face filled with nervousness and excitement.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn, with an underlying tension, as if a storm were about to break.

"The auspicious hour has arrived—please, Old Ancestor, ascend the altar to offer sacrifices to Heaven!"

The Elder in charge of ceremonies shouted in a resonant voice, which spread in all directions like a horn.

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent, and all eyes turned in unison toward the direction of the ancestral hall.

Space rippled slightly, and Lin Dao, dressed in green robes with a calm expression, took a single step, appearing instantly at the Peak of the thousand-foot Heaven-Sacrificial Altar.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering without wind. Although he emitted no powerful Aura, he naturally became the center of the entire world.

He scanned the thousands of guests below and his own high-spirited clansmen, just as he was about to speak and read the sacrificial proclamation—

"Hmph! A mere upstart, and you think you are worthy of ascending to Heaven?"

"A Heaven-Grade Family? Have you asked us for permission yet?!"

Two cold snorts, filled with disdain and arrogance, exploded suddenly like thunder!

Immediately following, the space above the Heaven-Sacrificial Altar was forcibly torn apart by two terrifying forces!

Two figures emitting the Aura of the Peak of the Dao Tribulation Realm descended violently, carrying with them sand filling the sky and rolling toxic miasma!

The person on the left was withered and thin, as if composed of gravel, surrounded by a wailing sandstorm; it was an expert from the Sand Puppet Clan!

The person on the right was burly, his skin covered in strange totem tattoos, emitting a nauseating stench and an Aura of curses; he was an Elder of the Witch Barbarian Clan!

The two unleashed their Auras without reservation; the pressure of the Peak of the Dao Tribulation Realm, like a physical mountain, pressed down fiercely upon Lin Dao on the Heaven-Sacrificial Altar, with the clear intent to disrupt the entire sacrificial ceremony!

"It's the Peak of the Dao Tribulation Realm experts from the Sand Puppet Clan and the Witch Barbarian Clan!"

"They really came! And they've joined forces to cause trouble!"

"What a strong Aura! Can the Lin Family Ancestor withstand it?"

The area below the altar immediately erupted in an uproar, many guests' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly channeled their Qi to resist this pressure.

Facing this sudden attack, Lin Dao's eyes instantly turned cold.

He didn't even turn to look at the two; he simply raised his right hand casually and flicked his sleeve toward the direction of the torn spatial rift behind him.

An invisible, formless force, yet containing the supreme Law, spread instantly like ripples on a calm lake.

The grimaces on the faces of the two experts from the Sand Puppet Clan and the Witch Barbarian Clan, who had just descended with such aggressive momentum, instantly froze, replaced by boundless fear!

They felt like two fallen leaves in a gale, completely unable to control themselves!

"Bang! Bang!"

With two muffled thuds, under the stunned gaze of everyone, the two great experts of the Peak of the Dao Tribulation Realm were struck as if by an invisible giant hammer. Without even being able to let out a scream, they vomited blood and flew backward at a speed faster than when they arrived, smashing directly into the spatial rift that had just been torn open and disappearing into the void, their life or death unknown!

Sending two Peak Dao Tribulation Realm experts flying with a wave of his hand?!

What kind of strength is this?! Nirvana Realm! It is absolutely the Nirvana Realm! And certainly not just an early-stage Nirvana Realm!

The observers who had previously doubted the Lin Family's foundation all shut their mouths, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

However, the storm had not yet subsided.

"How dare you harm the Elders of our clans! Lin Dao, you are courting death!"

From the Void Realm, two even more furious and terrifying roars rang out!

An Aura more than ten times stronger than before descended with a boom!

Space collapsed over a large area like fragile glass!

Two figures, who seemed to have merged with the Laws of the world, stepped out!

On the left was a hundred-foot-tall "Sand Emperor" Dharma Image, completely condensed from crystalline gravel, its Aura reaching the second level of the Nirvana Realm! It was an Old Ancestor of the Sand Puppet Clan!

On the right was a "Witch God" Dharma Image, shrouded in thick black mist of curses, possessing eight arms and holding various strange bone implements, its Aura reaching the third level of the Nirvana Realm! It came from the Witch Barbarian Clan!

The true bodies of two Nirvana Realm great experts had actually descended in person!

And the moment they appeared, they triggered visions of heaven and earth; sand blocked out the sun, and ten thousand ghosts wailed. The terrifying Aura made the entire Heaven-Sacrificial Altar hum, and many guests with lower cultivation below collapsed directly to the ground!

"Lin Dao! Kneel and accept your death! Otherwise, today, we will bathe your Lin Family in blood!" The voice of the Sand Puppet Clan's Old Ancestor sounded like the grinding of billions of sand grains, extremely piercing.

"The Phoenix Bloodline, the source of curses, should rightfully belong to our Witch Barbarian Clan!" The Witch Barbarian Clan's Old Ancestor waved his eight arms, and streaks of black curse light, filled with malice and corrosion, shot toward Lin Dao and Phoenix Spirit below like vipers!

This was the true killing move! The two clans clearly intended to spare no cost to stop the Lin Family's promotion and seize Phoenix Spirit!

Facing the furious attack of the two Nirvana Realm great experts, Lin Dao finally turned around.

His eyes were no longer calm, but had transformed into a coldness and majesty that looked down upon the world!

"Clowns, how dare you act presumptuously in my Lin Family!"

He no longer suppressed his own Aura; his majestic cultivation of the seventh level of the Nirvana Realm, mixed with the supreme power of his awakened Primordial Divine Demon Body, exploded with a bang!

"Hum—!!!"

A savage, ancient, and terrifying Aura, as if originating from the beginning of Chaos and capable of making all Daos submit, soared into the sky!

Behind Lin Dao, a thousand-foot-tall, indistinct phantom of a Primordial Divine Demon, radiating the will to tear apart the heavens and trample the earth, suddenly appeared!

As soon as this Divine Demon phantom appeared, the world lost its color!

The sand filling the sky instantly calmed, and the rolling toxic miasma of curses, as if encountering a nemesis, made sizzling sounds and quickly dissolved and disintegrated!

In the entire world, it seemed as if only that heaven-supporting, earth-standing Divine Demon phantom remained, along with the figure in green robes in front of it, who looked like the Lord of Divine Demons!

Lin Dao didn't even make a move; he simply relied on the supreme Aura emitted by the Primordial Divine Demon phantom and his own terrifying Aura of the seventh level of the Nirvana Realm. It was like an invisible wave of billions of tons, slamming fiercely into the two Nirvana Dharma Images!

"What?! This is... the Aura of a Divine Demon?!"

"Your Realm... Late Stage of the Nirvana Realm?! Impossible!!"

The Sand Puppet Clan's Old Ancestor and the Witch Barbarian Clan's Old Ancestor simultaneously let out screams of extreme terror!

They felt their Dharma Images trembling violently under the pressure of that Divine Demon Aura, as if they would collapse at any moment! The opponent's Aura far exceeded their imagination!

Boom! Boom!

With two loud bangs, the imposing Sand Emperor Dharma Image and Witch God Dharma Image could not even withstand a single breath under Lin Dao's pure Aura suppression before exploding with a bang, turning into energy debris filling the sky!

The true bodies of the two Nirvana Realm Old Ancestors were struck as if by a heavy blow, simultaneously vomiting large mouthfuls of blood containing their Origin. Their Auras instantly withered to the extreme, their eyes filled with endless fear and disbelief. Like stray dogs, they tore through space and fled without looking back, not even daring to leave behind a single harsh word!

From the appearance of the two clans' Peak Dao Tribulation Realm experts to the miserable flight of the two Nirvana Realm Old Ancestors, it had been only a short dozen breaths of time!

Below the Heaven-Sacrificial Altar, there was absolute silence.

All observers, regardless of which power they came from, were now like clay sculptures and carved wood, staring blankly at the top of the Heaven-Sacrificial Altar, at that figure standing before the Divine Demon phantom.

Defeating Dao Tribulation with a wave of his hand, repelling Nirvana with a cold snort!

What kind of style is this! What kind of strength is this!

The Lin Family Ancestor, Lin Dao, is actually such a terrifying existence!

At this moment, no one dared to have the slightest doubt about the Lin Family's promotion to a Heaven-Grade Family!

Lin Dao slowly retracted his Aura, and the Divine Demon phantom behind him gradually faded away.

His gaze was calm, as if he had just driven away two annoying mosquitoes.

He faced the ancient altar in the center of the Heaven-Sacrificial Altar once more, his voice clear and majestic, spreading across the Nine Heavens and the earth:

"Today, I, the Lin Family, hereby offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth..."

The grand ceremony for the Lin Family's promotion to a Heaven-Grade Family, after experiencing this small "interlude," officially began.
