Lin Baichuan watched the Flame Universe descend from the heavens, yet his face remained calm and composed. He did not even move.
He did not so much as lift an eyelid.
Hum...
The instant the universe came crashing down, a bell toll suddenly rang out from within Lin Baichuan's body, and a golden bell emerged.
It was precisely the technique that had already been elevated to the Great Dao level.
Golden Bell Body Protection!
The golden bell shook, sending visible ripples spreading outward. Though the Flame Universe descended upon him, it could not harm him in the slightest.
Instead, under the vibrations of Lin Baichuan's terrifying golden bell, the Flame Universe gradually vanished inch by inch.
In but an instant, it turned into nothingness.
When Heavenly Venerable Tianshu and the others saw this scene, every one of them was startled.
They were shocked to discover that Lin Baichuan's strength was far greater than they had imagined. It was not as simple as merely having entered the Third Level of Dao Mastery.
However.
Though everyone raised their estimation of Lin Baichuan's strength by several degrees, they did not take it too seriously.
After all, they had eleven Heavenly Venerables.
"Your strength is indeed greater than we expected. We underestimated you just now, but you still cannot withstand the combined forces of the eleven of us..."
Heavenly Venerable Tianshu's expression darkened as he suddenly shouted, "Everyone, stop wasting time. We must not let the night grow long and dreams multiply. Join forces and suppress this brat first."
"That's right. Since he refuses the respect we offered him, we'll help him keep some face..."
As soon as everyone finished speaking, a heaven-shaking killing intent erupted.
Boom...
Almost at the same instant, eleven Heavenly Venerables of the Third Level of Dao Mastery struck together.
