88: His strength is not that great, but he is very pretentious!

In that instant, Lin Xun, who hadn't had time to react, was struck as if by a heavy hammer, suffering an incomparably powerful backlash.

“Pfft…!!!”

As a large mouthful of fresh blood gushed out, his body trembled violently.

His main body's aura instantly became weak and listless, like a flickering candle in the wind, threatening to extinguish at any moment.

As for his other several clones, under Xuan Tianchen's authoritative roar, they shattered like fragile bubbles into a sky full of blood mist.

“With just a single word, he shattered my Cycle of Heaven Dream Domain and even destroyed my eight clones!”

Lin Xun's face was filled with an expression of disbelief, his wide eyes revealing deep shock and confusion.

He had never expected to suffer such a heavy blow after just one encounter with the opponent.

This was simply being crushed without any ability to fight back!

Facing such a powerful, despair-inducing, almost invincible strong individual, the hope of survival was extremely slim.

It seemed that today, he was destined to be unable to escape this calamity.

At the same time, he finally understood one thing.

The mysterious strong individual who had previously successfully rescued the Immortal Devouring Demonic Dragon from the Cycle of Heaven Dream Domain was none other than Xuan Tianchen.

However, the situation at this moment was extremely critical, and he couldn't afford to be distracted with too much thought.

Because Xuan Tianchen's gigantic, sky-obscuring palm was already close at hand!

If he were hit by this palm, there was no doubt that he would die on the spot, instantly turning into a pile of dust.

At this point, his only option was to fight to the death.

With this thought, Lin Xun's gaze instantly became incomparably resolute.

He shouted with all his might, “Since the Immortal King Realm cannot contend with you, then today I shall forcibly break through and step into the Immortal Emperor Realm!”

No sooner said than done, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from all around Lin Xun.

The light was brilliant and captivating, shooting straight into the clouds!

Accompanying the blooming of this light, a powerful and heart-palpitating aura also swept out like surging tides.

Lin Xun, who was already just one step away from entering the Immortal Emperor Realm, finally successfully advanced at this moment, becoming an Immortal Emperor Realm strong individual!

Immediately, he suddenly raised his right hand and shouted loudly like a resonating bell, “Sword, come!”

In an instant, the cyan bronze coffin suddenly glowed with ten thousand rays of light, making it impossible to look directly at it.

In a flash, the bronze coffin had transformed into an ancient, heavy bronze longsword.

As if summoned, it immediately descended into Lin Xun's hand with an incomparably sharp momentum.

And it let out a heaven-shaking sword cry that resounded throughout the world.

Immediately, Lin Xun, clutching the longsword, stood with the sword, his eyes fixed on the enormous palm that was pressing down to kill him.

In his eyes, besides an unyielding expression, there was no longer any fluctuation to be seen.

Just like the longsword in his hand, it was incomparably sharp, utterly incisive, and nothing could obstruct its edge!

“I have a sword; I invite you to die!”

As soon as his words fell, Lin Xun unhesitatingly unleashed a fierce sword strike.

Immediately, the sharp sword intent raged like a violent hurricane.

It surged upwards with an unstoppable momentum!

In an instant, Xuan Tianchen's casually descending sky-obscuring giant palm was split in two by this incomparably sharp sword strike.

Not only that, but the sharp sword intent continued its unstoppable advance, as if entering an uninhabited land.

Then, it rapidly pressed towards Xuan Tianchen with astonishing speed, intending to kill him.

Watching this scene, Xuan Tianchen merely curled the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile that was hard to discern:

“Finally, he looks a bit like a Child of Destiny, but you want to invite me to die with this level of power? My friend, your strength isn't much, but you put on quite a show!”

With that, Xuan Tianchen's aura lightly trembled.

What seemed like a casual movement instantly crushed Lin Xun's heaven-defying sword intent into nothingness.

Seeing this, a deep shock flashed in Lin Xun's eyes.

But then, this shock transformed into an even more resolute expression.

“Undeniably, your strength is immense, but today, even if it costs me my life, I will seek justice for all the fellow disciples of the Qingyun Sect!”

“Justice? Justice only exists on the sword's edge!”

Xuan Tianchen looked down from above, his gaze filled with disdain and mockery as he stared at Lin Xun.

Immediately after, he slowly extended his right hand.

Then, with his palm open, he said provocatively, “Come, show me your true strength!”

With that, his figure suddenly flickered, and like a ghost, he instantly appeared before Lin Xun.

Lin Xun, having regained his senses, quickly swung the bronze sword in his hand to block!

But even so, he was still slammed into the ground by Xuan Tianchen's palm.

Instantly, a sky-obscuring cloud of dust billowed up.

But before the dust could completely dissipate, Lin Xun once again leaped out of the bottomless pit.

He seemed to have fallen into a state of frenzy, not even having time to check his own injuries.

He unhesitatingly swung the longsword in his hand, resolutely charging towards Xuan Tianchen in a mad attempt to kill him.

Every sword strike he unleashed carried a determination to kill, directly aiming at Xuan Tianchen's vital points!

But Xuan Tianchen merely waved the two fingers of his right hand, effortlessly blocking the extremely sharp sword intent.

This prevented Lin Xun's attacks from advancing even an inch, allowing only a sharp metallic clang to echo in the air.

Seeing this, Lin Xun knew in his heart that if he continued like this, he would slowly be worn down to death.

Intending to fight to the death, he quickly retreated, creating some distance between himself and Xuan Tianchen.

“One Sword to Pierce the Heavens!!!”

As Lin Xun shouted with all his might, the bronze sword in his hand was already raised high above his head.

Immediately after, a powerful and shocking sword intent shot up into the sky, instantly drawing upon the boundless power of the sword dao deep within the Qingyun Sect's Sword Tomb.

In an instant, countless swords from the Sword Tomb flew like meteors, encircling Lin Xun.

And under the guidance of his powerful will, every sword seemed to radiate vibrant vitality at this moment.

For a time, boundless sword intent surged wildly amidst deafening sword cries.

Within a few breaths, it condensed into a heaven-piercing giant sword that seemed capable of piercing the firmament!

At the same time, countless brilliant lights suddenly shot up within the Qingyun Sect.

And these were precisely the spirits of several generations of heroes from the entire Qingyun Sect.

They all, without prior agreement, merged into the giant sword.

Clearly, it was to lend Lin Xun a hand and collectively confront the formidable enemy, Xuan Tianchen.

“This sword, imbued with the power of everyone in the Qingyun Sect, is solely to slay you!”

With that, Lin Xun's majestic and awe-inspiring Immortal Emperor Dharma Idol, which looked down upon the world, suddenly manifested.

It held the heaven-piercing giant sword, radiating an intimidating power without needing to express anger, emanating a chillingly powerful aura.

As the vast power of the Immortal Emperor swept wildly from his body, Lin Xun's Immortal Emperor Dharma Idol fearlessly struck down with a sword.

Wherever it passed, all things were destroyed like dry weeds, as if everything in the world could not stop this world-shaking sword strike.

However, Xuan Tianchen, who was the target of this attack, merely smiled faintly at this incomparably powerful strike, completely unmoved.

Just as Lin Xun's terrifying attack was close at hand, Xuan Tianchen slowly raised his right hand.

Then, under Lin Xun's incredulous gaze, he casually blocked this world-destroying powerful attack with just one finger.

In an instant, a suffocatingly powerful aftershock erupted with a roar.

It swept wildly across the heavens and earth like an ancient beast.

For a time, space collapsed, mountains and rivers shattered, and the entire world seemed to plunge into the abyss of doomsday.

Wherever this aftershock passed, all things were annihilated, turning into nothingness.

After just a few breaths, the entire Qingyun Continent became riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse under the ravages of this terrifying aftershock.

Those who did not understand thought it was a world-ending catastrophe descending from heaven.

In the end, all of them, with ashen faces, were mercilessly swallowed by this terrifying aftershock.

Lin Xun immediately felt immense helplessness and unwillingness.

However, in Xuan Tianchen's eyes, he remained as indifferent as ever, showing no trace of pity or sympathy.

“Weak, still too weak!”

After a moment of mockery, Xuan Tianchen suddenly flicked his fingertip lightly.

In an instant, an incomparably terrifying power immediately poured out like a surging flood!

Next… was the true slaughter!
