Chapter 1857 - Profound Life Stage
The Sovereign's Ascension
Everyone was startled by the sudden outburst of murderous intent coming from Lin Yun. At this moment, Lin Yun was like an asura who came from hell, looking at Cheng Tongâs corpse. Despite the fury in his heart, his face was calm and cold, making everyoneâs heart jump. He only met with Cheng Tong, and he could tell that Cheng Tong had suffered a lot of torture. This meant he persisted for a long time before ratting him out.
âChampion of the Nirvana Banquet, come with us!â Liu Chen indifferently looked at Lin Yun.
âHeâs a disciple of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. You want to take him away as you wish?â Gu Jun released his Quasi-Saintâs aura.
âHa.â Liu Chen coldly said, âThe disciple of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion can kill the heir of my Liu Saint Clan? My father already said to capture Lin Xiao if heâs willing to come. If heâs not willing, weâll bring his head over.â
When he finished, the two Quasi-Saints beside him dashed forth. This immediately made Mei Zihua and An Liuyan nervous. Even Gu Junâs expression became grave and nervous. He could only block a Quasi-Saint, and the other Quasi-Saint could easily capture Lin Yunâs group of three.
Not to mention Liu Chen was at the pinnacle of the Profound Death Stage. Aside from that, he also had seven profound Death Stage experts around him.
The holy landsâ Quasi-Saints all showed displeasure on their faces because Liu Chen was a little too arrogant, wanting to forcibly bring Lin Xiao away before them and even sealing off the entire pier. Even if the Liu Saint Clan had joined the Divine Dragon Empire, it was only an Ancient Saint Clan, and it wasnât a particularly powerful one amongst the Ancient Saint Clans. So they were nothing before the holy lands.
The Heavenly Dao Sectâs Jiang Yang asked, âIsnât the Liu Saint Clan a little too barbaric? Letâs not mention if Lin Xiao really killed the Wind Edge Lord. Even if he did, he doesnât deserve to die.â
The Divine Phoenix Mountainâs Quasi-Saint sneered, âItâs clear that Chen Tong obviously had something to say, and who knows, maybe the Wind Edge Lord wanted to kill Lin Xiao and got killed instead. This is the reason why you silenced him so quickly.â
âThatâs right. Since when can the Liu Saint Clan do whatever they want in Heavenly Domain City?â
âWho in the world doesnât know that the Wind Edge Lord repeatedly lost to Lin Xiao and even spread rumors to slander him? Itâs not an exaggeration that he courted death!â
âLin Xiao is a disciple of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, and your Liu Saint Clan has no right to take him away.â When Jiang Yang spoke out, the other holy landsâ Quasi-Saints also spoke out. After all, they owed Lin Yun a favor, and there was no way they could watch Lin Yun bring taken away before their eyes. If they allowed that to happen, it would be a great humiliation to those who were from the holy lands. Moreover, the Liu Saint Clan was nothing in the eyes of the holy lands.
The Liu Saint Clan might have some influence in Heavenly Domain City, but were nothing outside it.
The holy lands standing out clearly caught Liu Chen by surprise, and he gritted his teeth, âYou guys want to interfere in the private matters of my Liu Saint Clan?â
The other Quasi-Saints didnât say anything, and their intentions were clear.
Right then, Huang Xuanyi stood out after receiving an instruction. He chuckled, âThis has nothing to do with the Ming Cult.â
The Ming Cultâs Quasi-Saint said, âMy Ming Cult wonât interfere if the Liu Saint Clan wants to kill him.â
The Quasi-Saint wearing a bamboo hat beside Liu Chen smiled, âSo the five holy lands want to join hands to bully the Liu Saint Clan?â
He didnât seem to be from the Liu Saint Clan, and he had no fear even when facing the holy landsâ Quasi-Saints.
âSo what if we bully you?â The Divine Phoenix Mountainâs Quasi-Saint snorted. âIsnât your Liu Saint Clan bullying Lin Xiao by bringing two Quasi-Saints over? What are you guys trying to do here? Trying to kill him in front of us?â
âThen Iâll kill him in front of you guys today!â The man removed his bamboo hat, revealing a face that made everyoneâs expressions change.
âZhuge Qingyun!â Gu Jun exclaimed. Zhuge Qingyun was famous as Tian Xuanziâs strongest disciple. Before Jian Jingtian made a breakthrough, he was known to be invincible beneath the Saint Realm.
âItâs really himâ¦â The Ming Cultâs Quasi-Saint was surprised, but the corner of his lips soon curled up. He initially planned to watch from the sideline as the two sides fought, but things changed with the appearance of Zhuge Qingyun.
Lin Yun recalled his gaze from Cheng Tong. When he saw Zhuge Qingyun, the chill within his pupils grew even denser because the Liu Saint Clan had taken the last straw by joining forces with the Profound Sky Sect.
âThe Liu Saint Clan managed to invite Zhuge Qingyun? It looks like you guys already planned on taking my life.â Lin Yun said indifferently while looking at Liu Chen.
Liu Chen raised his head with murderous intent flashing within his pupils. He snorted, âSo what? Youâre the one Iâm killing today, and my brotherâs death will be paid in blood! Brother Zhuge, please stop the Quasi-Saints from interfering. Iâll slaughter that brat myself!â
âHow dare you!â The Quasi-Saint of the Divine Phoenix Sect flew into rage along with the other Quasi-Saints. The Liu Saint Clan was really bold not to put the holy lands in their eyes.
âGentlemen, let us not act rashly.â Zhuge Qignyun took a step forth, and the aura he gave off easily bounced back the aura from the five Quasi-Saints. This naturally made everyone shocked.
Wearing a smile, Zhuge Qingyun placed his hands into his sleeves and looked at the five Quasi-Saints with a playful smile, âYou guys want to play?â
He was clearly alone, but the aura he gave off easily suppressed the five. Gu Jun wanted to help, but he was watched closely by the Quasi-Saint from the Liu Saint Clan. As for Mei Zihua, he was anxious, but he didnât know what to do.
âElder Gu will keep an eye on the Liu Saint Clanâs Quasi-Saint while we hold back the other Profound Death Stage cultivators.â An Liuyanâs words made Mei Zihua calm down.
âHa, let me see who else can save you!â Liu Chen released his aura at the pinnacle of the Profound Death Stage and dashed forth.
As a dazzling sword ray shone from within Lin Yun, he moved like an azure dragon with a powerful gale and roaring lightning accompanying him. He was much faster than before after his Azure Dragon Intent reached the sixth grade.
When Lin Yun and Liu Chen crossed paths, they both exchanged a gaze with their pupils filled with murderous intent.
What a fast speed! Liu Chen was surprised that Lin Yun was actually faster than him. But his cultivation was at the pinnacle of the Profound Death Stage, and he drew out a sword when they crossed paths. âDie!â
When he grabbed onto his sword, a crimson radiance shone from his body, with his sword being thrust towards Lin Yunâs throat.
Lin Yun didnât bother dodging his attack at all. He reached out with his hand, wanting to grab Liu Chenâs sword.
âHow ignorant.â Liu Chen sneered, and the dragon origin on his sword surged once again, flicking his wrist, wanting to engulf Lin Yunâs entire arm. But when his sword fell onto Lin Yunâs arm, it felt like it had landed on a saint artifact, creating a metallic clash.
Before Liu Chen came to his senses, Lin Yun had already grabbed onto his sword and snapped it into two. This made the sword pieces fly about and immediately made everyone scatter to avoid the sword fragments.
Having his sword destroyed, Liu Chen was shocked. When he raised his head, he saw Lin Yunâs cold and indifferent gaze. Lin Yunâs eyes were filled with murderous intent, giving him the illusion that countless skeletons surrounded Lin Yun, with the floor turning into a sea of blood.
This naturally scared Liu Chen to retreat because the murderous intent within Lin Yunâs pupils was too terrifying, making his scalp tingle.
âYou think you can flee?â Lin Yun wore an indifferent smile. His speed was like a ghost, causing the surrounding space to distort, with his palm landing on Liu Chenâs chest. The impact made Liu Chen groan out in pain as he retreated, and this naturally caused an uproar. After all, who could imagine that Liu Chen would be injured in a frontal confrontation with Lin Yun?
âYoung Master!â The eyelid of the Liu Saint Clanâs Quasi-Saint twitched, wanting to help. After all, the Liu Saint Clan had already lost the Wind Edge Lord, and they would become a laughingstock within Heavenly Domain City if they lost Liu Chen.
âDonât come! Iâll kill him myself!â Liu Chen was furious because his wounds werenât heavy, and his aura soon dispelled the sword intent left within his body. It was just that it made him look embarrassed, and it was mainly because he was scared by Lin Yun earlier, or he wouldnât have fallen for it.
âLet me see what capability a puny rat at the Dragon Pulse Realm like you has!â Liu Chen roared, charging at Lin Yun. He was cautious this time, using his cultivation to suppress the space Lin Yun was in before pushing his palm forth.
Lin Yun waited until Liu Chen got close to him before pushing his palm forth. When the two palms collided, the scene of Lin Yun being heavily injured that everyone was expecting didnât take place. On the contrary, Lin Yun stood firmly like an immovable mountain with densely packed silver scales covering the surface of his body, and a dragon armor enveloped him.
âThe Myriad Scales Armor!â Liu Chen instantly recognized the armor that Lin Yun was wearing, and this naturally made him furious. âLin Xiao, how dare you!â
Lin Yun killed the Wind Edge Lord and even used the Myriad Scales Armor in public, naturally making Liu Chen even more furious.
âThis Myriad Scales Armor belonged to your brother and is pretty useful. Oh, I forgot to tell you that your brother didnât go peacefully. Since I couldnât injure him because of the Myriad Scales Armor, I could only break his bones piece by piece. His death wasnât peaceful, and he begged for mercy before he was killedâ¦â Lin Yunâs said, his words making everyoneâs scalps go numb. They couldnât imagine the death scene of the Wind Edge Lord.
âLin Xiao!â Liu Chenâs heart was in turmoil, his eyes becoming bloodshot. Since he had lost his composure, he naturally had his flaws exposed.
On the contrary, Lin Yun was terrifyingly calm, activating the Myriad Scales Armor and instantly causing cracks in Liu Chenâs aura. As blood dripped out of the corner of Liu Chenâs lips, he took several steps back, with Lin Yun taking this opportunity to step forth and push his palm forth.
This time, Lin Yun easily sent Liu Chen flying back while using the Myriad Scales Armor, causing Liu Chen to fall to the ground.
âLin Xiao, Iâll kill you!â Liu Chen soared to the sky, unleashing seven profound life and death channels simultaneously, with his aura reaching a terrifying height.
Even if Lin Yun wore the Myriad Scales Armor, the aura exploding from Liu Chen still pushed him back. He closed his eyes and allowed the powerful gale to blow on his hair. No matter how violent Liu Chenâs aura was, Lin Yun simply stood there like a mountain with the scenes of Cheng Tongâs death in his mind.
The life of Liu Chenâs brother was important, but the lives of others were nothing to him? How could there be such a reason in this world?
Lin Yunâs fury reached a limit with dragon origin filling his whole body, and the Demigod Wine within his body started gushing out. When he reopened his eyes, he saw Liu Chen charging at him. At the same time, seven loud booms echoed from within his body, and his aura began to rise.
Just like that, Lin Yun made a subsequent breakthrough under the eyes of everyone, reaching the Profound Life Stage and instantly reaching the seventh channel. When the seven booms reverberated, the soundwaves caused the pier to tremble.
The aura he gave off was violent, and it shocked everyone. After all, he immediately jumped to the pinnacle of the Profound Life Stage of the Samsara Edict Realm.
Under his aura, Lin Yun easily raised his hand and sent Liu Chen flying away. As he soared to the sky, he coldly looked at Liu Chen, âNo one can save you today!â
