"Roar!"
A roar shattered mountains and rivers. Boundless might and dazzling divine light appeared in Lin Huang's perception, like a blazing sun, while his blood and qi surged skyward like a beacon.
It was a Golden Light Hou, a hundred zhang tall. Its dense golden fur stood on end like fine gold, each strand sharp enough to slice through the void as it moved.
"You're all going to die!"
The Golden Light Hou roared and swung a fist down at Lin Huang.
Lin Huang's expression remained impassive as he punched back. Lin Huang, a mere eight chi tall, faced the hundred-zhang Golden Light Hou fist to fist. The sight was almost laughable, so tiny was he.
But with a booming crash, the Golden Light Hou's upper body rocked. Surprise flashed in its bell-sized eyes before turning to cruelty and ferocity. "Good. You human. You're the perfect sacrifice."
Lin Huang staggered back three steps. Looking at his hand, a fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. "Interesting. A Great Perfection Vajra Divine Body?"
"I never expected there to be a genius like you in the Myriad Worlds."
Lin Huang exclaimed in admiration. He hadn't expected to find someone on the God-Fallen Battlefield who had cultivated the Vajra Divine Body to Great Perfection and attained the state of Vajra Indestructible.
Such a realm surpassed even the so-called peerless geniuses and Descendants of Divine Blood. This one could fight Lin Huang.
A thought stirred in Lin Huang, and for the first time, he took the initiative. His first strike was Earth Fist, the heaviest of the Six Paths Divine Fist.
He clenched the earth in his fist, its weight as immense as the land itself, and struck at the Golden Light Hou.
"Die!"
The Golden Light Hou roared and shook violently. The earth trembled and the mountains swayed. Its fur, each strand honed like fine gold, shot out at once, piercing the void with a series of hissing sounds and slaughtering every genius in its path.
Lin Huang sighed and changed his fist technique. Yang Fist was blazing and scorching, burning everything to ashes in an instant and dispelling the Golden Light Hou's killing move.
The Golden Light Hou sneered and countered with another punch, sealing off space and time with a fierce, domineering blow.
Lin Huang raised an eyebrow and punched back with Water Fist. It flowed endlessly, neutralizing the Golden Light Hou's fist energy one strike at a time. The ground beneath his feet sank three chi.
The Golden Light Hou roared. "I'll crush you to death with one hand!"
Before the words had even faded, the Golden Light Hou's hand shot out like lightning and seized Lin Huang. It squeezed hard, intent on crushing him outright through brute strength.
Trapped in the Golden Light Hou's palm, Lin Huang remained calm, neither joyful nor sorrowful. The palm ground against him like a vast millstone, and his bones creaked throughout his body.
Lin Huang let out a long cry. "Grow! Grow! Grow!"
With each of the three shouts, Lin Huang's body swelled. In an instant, he grew to a hundred zhang, matching the Golden Light Hou. The Golden Light Hou had been holding Lin Huang in its palm, ready to crush him, but now it cried out in alarm. Its fingers sprang open one by one, barely managing to grip Lin Huang around the waist. It yanked hard and tore away a chunk of flesh.
The Golden Light Hou stuffed the flesh into its mouth with savage relish. Its gaze shifted as it stared at Lin Huang. "Looks like you're the strongest of this group of geniuses. You've actually cultivated a Great Perfection Divine Body."
"But it's useless. Even if you're an unparalleled genius, you're still going to die!"
The Golden Light Hou gave a savage smile and unleashed its full aura.
"Hahaha! You so-called geniuses are destined to be slaughtered by us!"
"My Vajra Divine Body has reached Great Perfection, and my cultivation is at the upper stage of King-Sealing. Who among you can stand against me? Hahaha! Die!"
The Golden Light Hou's aura surged, so overwhelming it made one's heart quake. It was at the upper stage of King-Sealing.
Lin Huang raised an eyebrow, quite surprised. "You're not one of the geniuses who entered the God-Fallen Battlefield this time. What's your background?!"
The Golden Light Hou sneered and punched at Lin Huang. "You'll find out when you're dead!"
The punch carried earth-shattering power, fierce and domineering, with the strength to shatter mountains and rivers. It was as fast as lightning. With a thunderous crash, it slammed into Lin Huang.
Lin Huang grunted and moved his feet, smashing into a small mountain.
"Hahaha. With a Great Perfection Divine Body, if you'd appeared in my era, you could probably have swept aside every genius and become number one in the Myriad Worlds. What a pity, what a pity. A genius is still only a genius."
The Golden Light Hou's expression suddenly turned sorrowful and compassionate. It glanced at Lin Huang and threw another punch.
"Come. Come. Let the flesh and blood of an unparalleled genius like you lay the foundation for my destiny of sainthood."
"Vajra Great Hand Seal!"
The Golden Light Hou used its realm to brutally suppress Lin Huang and attacked with all its strength. In an instant, it struck a thousand punches, then fused them into a single palm, forming the Vajra Great Hand Seal. It blotted out the sky and covered the sun as it came crashing down.
Rumble!
Mountains split apart and the land sank, as though the sea had turned into mulberry fields.
The Golden Light Hou's Vajra Great Hand Seal possessed the power to overturn heaven and earth, to reshape destiny.
Lin Huang grunted. Half of his hundred-zhang body sank into the ground, like a mountain peak that had been broken in two.
"You're still not dead?" The Golden Light Hou looked at Lin Huang in surprise.
"Fine. For a genius like you, I'll send you on your way with my strongest move."
"Golden Light Great Hand Seal!"
With that palm strike, golden light stood in for the light of heaven. There was nothing else between heaven and earth but that single brilliant ray of gold, condensed into a hand seal as if empowered by the world itself. The golden light stretched nine thousand li in every direction. Many people saw it and were shaken, unable to believe that an opponent this powerful was on the God-Fallen Battlefield.
Tunbao was so anxious she bounced around. "Lin Huang isn't dead, is he? He's a Saint, after all! How can he be so useless? Some huge monster shows up and kills him just like that?!"
"Should we run? While that monster's busy killing Lin Huang, we can escape right away. There's still time."
Blood Linglong leaned weakly against Tunbao and spat out a mouthful of blood. "It's no use. That Golden Light Hou is at the upper stage of King-Sealing, with a Vajra Divine Body at Great Perfection. Apart from Lin Huang, it could sweep aside everyone."
"Just watch. Lin Huang is already invincible. Even the Blood God Child formed from thirteen Sub-Saints couldn't stand against him, let alone this Golden Light Hou."
As if their hearts were linked, the moment Blood Linglong finished speaking, Lin Huang reached out and caught the Golden Light Great Hand Seal coming down on him.
"Had enough?" Lin Huang asked calmly. With a step, he returned to his feet on the ground.
But now Lin Huang's Divine Body was shattered, a horrifying sight. Golden blood dripped from him, then instantly flowed back into his body, transforming in a bizarre way. The Golden Light Hou instinctively retreated three steps.
"Damn it, what kind of monster are you? How are you still alive after all that?!" the Golden Light Hou exclaimed in shock, then gave a sinister laugh. "Forget it. The stronger you are, the greater the fortune I'll gain from using you as a sacrifice."
"Have you still not realized the enormous gap between us? Don't even think about resisting! I admit you're a genius, but I'm the one who can snuff out geniuses."
"You mean the suppression of cultivation realms?" Lin Huang shook his head. He took a step forward, his aura bursting forth. Divine light blazed and solidified, making the onlookers' hearts quake.
"Lower-stage King-Sealing?" The Golden Light Hou was truly astonished. Its gaze turned cold, and it decided to strike at once. "You can break through in the middle of battle. You really are a genius, but that's not enough."
"What about now?" Lin Huang took a second step, raising his cultivation to the upper stage of King-Sealing.
The Golden Light Hou was so shocked it nearly bit off its tongue. "Impossible! King-Sealing, upper-stage King-Sealing?!"
"See? I knew Lin Huang was a rascal. He's trying to scare that idiot to death." Blood Linglong giggled. Even though she had reverted to her original bat form, her voice remained alluring.
Tunbao ground her teeth and nodded. "That's right. He's a big rascal."
"Damn it, what kind of monster are you?!" The Golden Light Hou was horrified now, unable to believe that Lin Huang had been hiding his strength all along.
"But even so, you're still going to die. I've already attained Vajra Indestructible. I'm Immune to All Laws and Eternal and Unwearing. You can't kill me, but I can kill you."
The Golden Light Hou steadied itself. Lin Huang's bizarre rise in power was shocking, but it trusted its own strength even more.
Lin Huang nodded, making no attempt to deny it. "That's right. With a Vajra Divine Body at Great Perfection, you've attained Vajra Indestructible. To kill you, I'll have to give it everything I've got."
"So now you can die with your eyes closed."
As soon as the words fell, Lin Huang unleashed his full strength. Saintly might suppressed heaven and earth, suppressing everything. Within a thousand li, every living being could only submit. It was a pressure that struck from deep within the soul.
In that moment, a Saint descended, and all living beings bowed.
