Lin Xuanqing's Fury

"Buzz!!"

Intense spatial ripples spread across the surface of the Star Gate.

All eyes turned to him instantly. Lin Xuanqing held his breath, his fists clenching unconsciously.

The Light Screen cracked.

Chen Fan and Wen Yuan stepped out of the Star Gate side by side.

Immediately afterwards, rows of Human Race Prodigies marched out in formation, their steps perfectly synchronized and their momentum overwhelming.

Tens of thousands of Seventh Rank Human Race were in a tight formation, and even their auras were at their peak.

Lin Xuanqing spotted Chen Fan walking at the very front immediately.

He disregarded any airs of superiority, and in a flash, he rushed directly in front of Chen Fan.

"Xiao Fan!"

Lin Xuanqing grabbed Chen Fan's shoulder and scanned him sharply.

"Are you alright? Is your foundation secure? Have you been targeted by any imperial heirs?"

Lin Xuanqing asked questions one after another, his tone revealing undisguised nervousness.

Looking at his anxious master, Chen Fan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He obediently allowed Lin Xuanqing to examine him, then took half a step back and respectfully bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. I am safe and sound." Chen Fan raised his head with a smile. "I am fortunate to have broken through to the Eighth-Order."

Lin Xuanqing was stunned.

His hand, which was gripping Chen Fan's shoulder, froze in mid-air.

Eighth-Order?

Fourteen-year-old Eighth-Order?

Lin Xuanqing took a deep breath, then threw his head back and laughed loudly. The laughter shook the surrounding starry sky.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Lin Xuanqing said "good" three times in a row, his eyes reddening.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding mentors gasped in astonishment. Old Freak Wang stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. Eighth-Order at the age of fourteen—this had already broken the record in Human Race history.

Wen Yuan stepped forward, his expression solemn.

"Master, your disciple Wen Yuan has important news to report!"

"Within the ruins, the Insect Emperor disregarded the Betting Agreement and launched a deadly attack. To protect us, our junior Junior Fellow Apprentice used his own Dao Fruit to withstand the Emperor's Death Curse, nearly losing his life and his Dao..."

Looking at his master, who was almost out of control due to ecstasy, Wen Yuan felt a great deal of reluctance, but this matter was of great importance and could not be concealed.

He imprinted that breathtaking scene into Lin Xuanqing's Sea of Consciousness word for word.

The smile on Lin Xuanqing's face froze.

A surge of vibrant life force within a three-foot radius around him vanished in an instant, leaving only a chilling stillness.

The Void seemed frozen, and even the light became viscous and dim.

This sudden and dramatic change caused all the mentors who were immersed in joy to feel a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts, and their smiles froze.

What happened?

Lin Xuanqing slowly turned his head.

His movements were as stiff as a rusty puppet, his gaze passing over Chen Fan as if piercing through an endless galaxy, locking onto the location that represented the Insect Emperor.

"Xiao Fan..."

Is it true?

Looking into his master's eyes, which had instantly lost all their luster, leaving only desolation and lifelessness, Chen Fan understood everything.

He didn't want his master to be angry about this, and he didn't want that glory that belonged to him to become his master's inner demon.

He nodded slightly, his tone as steady as ever, as if he were stating a trivial matter.

"This disciple is without fault."

"It was just a minor setback, it's all in the past now."

"A few setbacks?!"

These four words, like a Star that had been detonated, completely ignited all the anger deep within Lin Xuanqing's soul.

A roar erupted from Lin Xuanqing's mouth!

With his peak Ninth Tier Immortal Realm cultivation, he unleashed his full power and soared into the sky!

Behind him, the supreme Dao Principles of the Life School twisted wildly, and the emerald green light of life faded away, turning into endless gray, representing decay!

"It dares to touch my disciple?!"

"How dare it?!"

Lin Xuanqing's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a madman.

He gave no one time to react, his hands flashing out a hand seal in front of his chest.

All his power was compressed, ultimately transforming into a single gray, Annihilation Divine Light.

The point of light was small, hovering at his fingertips, yet it exuded a terrifying aura that could potentially destroy even his own foundation.

Its goal is the distant, lofty Insect Race emperor on the other side of the starry sky!

"Lin Xuanqing! You've gone mad!"

Old Freak Wang was horrified and took a step forward, intending to stop him.

However, just as that Annihilation Divine Light was about to be unleashed...

A simple word suddenly resonated in Lin Xuanqing's heart.

"Good!"

Human Race Martial God!

The next moment, an invisible force quietly descended, gently enveloping the gray divine light that was about to spiral out of control.

The power of the Martial God did not stop it; instead, like the most skillful craftsman, it enhanced it, perfectly concealing all its power and killing intent, erasing all traces of it in the river of cause and effect.

This is the God of Martial God's assistance!

With the support of this supreme being, Lin Xuanqing no longer hesitated.

This strike, a pinnacle of power infused with the might of Human Race Martial God, vanished from its original location the instant it was launched.

It transcended the boundaries of time and space, ignored the barriers of laws, and appeared like a ghost before the Insect Emperor, who was confronting the Martial God's Will, with a speed that surpassed cause and effect.

Deep in the starry sky.

A muffled groan, extremely suppressed, suddenly rang out.

The Insect Emperor's enormous, sky-covering body trembled violently, and a clear crack appeared without warning on the dark gold carapace on its back, which looked as if it were forged from divine metal.

A drop of royal blood, exuding an aura of decay and misfortune, slowly seeped from the crack.

That drop of blood, falling into the Void, silently annihilated a desolate Star Domain that had been silent for billions of years, turning it into absolute nothingness.

In its peak confrontation with the Martial God of War, it was actually injured by an attack from a Ninth Tier ant!

This is an utter disgrace!

"Roar!!"

A furious roar that shook the entire universe and made countless Stars tremble erupted from that endless darkness!

An indescribable, terrifying killing intent, like a cosmic tsunami, swept towards the location of the Azure Dragon Star Gate!

However, the killing intent had not yet gotten close.

A blurry yet imposing figure silently appeared before Lin Xuanqing, shielding him from all imperial pressure.

The voice of the Human Race Martial God resounded calmly through the starry sky, reaching the ears of the enraged Insect Emperor.

"You broke the rules first."

"This blow is the price you have to pay."

As the God of Martial God finished speaking, a deathly silence fell Azure Dragon Star Gate.

Everyone was utterly stunned by what had happened in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xuanqing... severely injured the Emperor!

And it worked!

Chen Fan stood there, looking at his master who had bravely attacked him and burned his Origin Source for him, and then at the back of the Martial God who had protected his master.

His heart, which had been calm and undisturbed by the breakthrough, was now stirred into a raging storm.

So this is what a true powerhouse is.

A single outburst of anger can shake an emperor.

A single word can determine the fate of the world.

He clenched his fists, and in his eyes, which reflected the Life-and-Death Cycle, the desire for power burned brighter than ever before.
