Ch. 401Six Deaths, Six Revivals! Frightening Off an Immortal!
Plot points and events
- Lin Feng ambushes Augustus with the Myriad Tribulations Heavenly Halberd, but Augustus catches the weapon’s momentum and blasts Lin Feng through several floating mountains.
- Augustus reveals his Golden Divine Kingdom, an immortal domain that crushes weaker beings and nearly suppresses Lin Feng’s Absolute Forbidden Zone.
- He attacks Lin Feng repeatedly—with divine light, heavenly lightning, an Imperial War Spear through the head, immortal flames, crushing pressure, and finally spatial annihilation.
- Each time, Lin Feng appears to die, but the Purple-Gold Vortex and his extraordinary body restore him. The Bone Shuttle also helps him withstand attacks and escape the collapsing black hole.
- After surviving six apparent deaths, Lin Feng confronts Augustus again. Augustus, who had seemed invincible, finally steps back in fear.
- The battle is broadcast across the universe. Viewers connect Augustus’s attack to earlier evidence that he used Star Beasts to massacre contestants and is trying to silence witnesses. Zhou Tong realizes the growing public attention means Augustus is exposed.
