Conflict

However, although the statue of Fengyun that Lin Lei condensed with earth-elemental divine power was quite lifelike and fully displayed Fengyun's temperament and appearance, it was Fengyun from hundreds of years ago.

Fengyun, who made another breakthrough, didn't change much in appearance due to his rapid increase in strength, but his temperament changed quite a bit.

This obvious clash of temperaments immediately made Baruch and the others frown and say, "Lin Lei, I didn't expect you to have such skill in stone carving!"

"But didn't you carve the wrong one? Although the appearance is very similar, the difference in temperament is too obvious. It doesn't look like a person at all!"

Before Lin Lei could ask any further questions, Elder Emmanuel of the Azure Dragon, who had been waiting there, had already noticed their conversation and the stone sculpture that Lin Lei had conjured with divine power. He frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Could this old friend Fengyun that Lin Lei has been talking about not be Lord Fengyun?"

"I felt something was off from the beginning, even though the information Lin Lei gave about his old friend Fengyun matched that of Lord Fengyun."

"But the Fengyun and clouds' he refers to grew up in the Material Plane, just like him."

"How old is Lin Lei again?"

Thinking of this, he forced a smile to hide his furrowed brows and said, "Hahaha, Lin Lei, there's something I've always forgotten to ask?"

"What is Lord Fengyun's strength in the Material Plane, and how old is he again?"

"Haha~, I've always felt that Lord Fengyun is quite young. I'm really curious about just how young Lord Fengyun really is!"

Although he still frowned as he said this, his smile masked a kind expression. However, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and the stronger his suspicion grew that he might have made a mistake.

After all, he had already communicated with the people of the Yulan Continent before, and before they came to Hell, there was no one named Fengyun on the Yulan Continent.

If Lord Fengyun is indeed from that so-called Yulan Plane, then it means that Fengyun is only a few thousand years old at most. A Paragon who is only a few thousand years old? What kind of plane joke is this?

However, Lin Lei's description of Fengyun overlapped too much with the Fengyun he knew, making him dare not question whether it was a misunderstanding or not.

It wasn't until he saw the Fengyun stone sculpture that Lin Lei had condensed that he realized that the Fengyun and Cloud that Lin Lei knew might be someone who looked very similar to Wind and Fengyun, which would explain why they looked alike but had completely different temperaments.

In this way, all the contradictions in his mind could be explained.

After all, he simply couldn't believe that anyone in this world could achieve Paragon in just a thousand years.

However, it's also possible that Fengyun had been living in seclusion for trillions of years in the Material Plane in order to break through, so he came here specifically to ask Lin Lei.

Lin Lei was puzzled by Elder Emmanuel's sudden interest in this matter, but unsure of Fengyun's identity, he subconsciously answered Emmanuel's question.

"Brother Yun is indeed from the same Material Plane as me. He is also the most talented Saint Realm in our plane, the most talented Deity Level. In terms of strength, only Bei from the Dark Forest..."

"Enough!" Emmanuel shouted, interrupting Lin Lei's speech.

The most talented Saint Realm, the most talented Deity Level —just hearing these things, he was basically certain that the Fengyun Lin Lei was talking about must be among the natives of their plane.

Since he is a native of a Material Plane, how could he possibly be related to Lord Beirut, the Lord of the Youlan Prefecture?

Moreover, judging from descriptions like "the most talented Saint Realm" and "the most talented Deity Level," the Fengyun Yun that Lin Lei knew could not possibly be an old monster hiding his cultivation and playing around in the mortal world.

While it's absurd that a mortal could become Asura- level powerhouse in just a thousand years, such treasures do exist in this world.

However, even the most powerful treasures can only allow one to reach the level of Asura in terms of the Mysteries of the Laws.

To achieve Paragon, one can only rely on oneself.

This is a universally acknowledged rule throughout history, and even the Overgod cannot break this ironclad rule.

Therefore, he shouted loudly, interrupting Lin Lei's narration. In addition, he reached out to capture Lin Lei, seemingly intending to use Lin Lei's life to give an explanation for disturbing Fengyun's research.

However, although his attack was powerful and showed no mercy, how could he possibly succeed in capturing Lin Lei in one strike?

Even though it was a sudden and unexpected attack, Lin Lei managed to strike out with a palm and exchange blows with Ilnewman thanks to his strong physique. Then, he was shot into the house behind him like a cannonball.

Any random stone found in Hell can be placed in the Material Plane and used to forge amazing materials.

The houses of the Azure Dragon Clan are built with materials that are both extremely hard and resilient.

However, Lin Lei crashed into several of these houses, and some of the scattered materials carried considerable kinetic energy, causing damage to the surrounding Lower God and even some Middle God.

Emmanuel looked at his fist, feeling inexplicably strange. He was an elder of the Azure Dragon Clan, with the strength of Seven-star Demon. Even if he hadn't used his full strength in this attack, it shouldn't have been something that Lin Lei, a self-taught Middle God who hadn't even Bloodline Awakening, could withstand!

Then, recalling the palm strike Lin Lei had exchanged with him earlier, and thinking of the ring on Lin Lei's hand, Emmanuel shuddered and stared wide-eyed in Lin Lei's direction. He then felt an immense pressure emanating from him.

This is because Lin Lei used the Gravity Space technique.

Although he still didn't understand why Emmanuel had suddenly attacked him, since the attack had already been made, how could he not retaliate!

Even though his overall strength was still inferior to that of Seven-star Demon like Emmanuel, he did not hesitate at all in this counterattack.

With all his might, Lin Lei threw a punch, his mindset of either succeeding or dying for his cause...

They ripped a huge hole in Emmanuel's chest!

This scene stunned everyone; those who noticed it at the very beginning of the conflict tried to stop it.

However, it happened too fast, and no one had time to stop it.

Even after Lin Lei began to fight back, no one was able to stop him immediately.

However, what shocked everyone was that no one expected that Lin Lei, a self-taught Middle God whose bloodline had not even been awakened, would actually seriously injure the family elder, Emmanuel, who had the strength of Seven-star Demon.

"Lin Lei, it hasn't been that long since we last met, and you've gotten even stronger!"

The person who suddenly spoke up was naturally Fengyun. He had just left the research lab with Huihui and the others when they "coincidentally" ran into several clan leaders in the vicinity. Then, they chatted all the way to where Lin Lei and the others were.
