Whoosh...!
Where the sword passed, the void fell silent. Time and the ages rippled and began flowing backward. Three Immortals vanished beneath that single stroke!
People remembered only that three supreme Immortals had once existed in this world. Now, they seemed to exist solely in the years gone by! They belonged only to memory, erased just like that!
"This is the power of time!"
"Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"
Roars rang through the firmament again and again! Three Immortals slain with one sword stroke! Such might was like that of a king!
"The moment he entered this realm, he became like a peerless Quasi-King. This isn't a Battle Immortal! This is a Heaven-Defying Immortal!"
"No wonder, no wonder! They call him a Heaven-Defying Immortal! So he really can defy heaven!"
"After the Battle Immortal, an even more terrifying kind of immortal, acknowledged by heaven and earth, has appeared-the first Heaven-Defying Immortal in all eternity!"
"He truly blazed a trail through history. Incredible! This lord will be remembered in the ancient annals!"
The True Immortals of the Nine Heavens and the Immortal Domain dared not act presumptuously now! It was as though they stood before a Quasi-King!
What was a Quasi-King? Even some humble ordinary kings would address one as a fellow Daoist! That was a Quasi-King, someone who could kill Immortals and True Immortals effortlessly!
At the edge of the battlefield, the bodies of the Lin Family members naturally began to pulse. This was power from deep within their bloodline. As direct descendants of an immortal bloodline, they now felt a summons from within their blood!
Moreover, this was new blood, replacing the bloodline that had once belonged exclusively to their ancient True Immortal progenitor, Lin Qing, and becoming their strongest source! It fed power back into their bloodlines, and quite a few even broke through on the spot!
"Has someone in our Lin Family become an immortal?" a member of the Lin Family exclaimed!
"This feeling can't be mistaken. Who is it? Which ancestor of our clan has become an immortal?"
"Is it Lin Yue? Or Ancestor Lin Zhong?"
A Lin Family member at the peak of the Escape One Realm spoke. Had Lin Yue been there, he would certainly have recognized him. It was Lin He, who had once fought alongside him.
On the Extreme Dao battlefield, the Lin Family ancestor Lin Zhong gained even more. Golden radiance surged around his body. The power feeding back through his bloodline even showed signs of carrying him into the Immortal Dao! Every wound on his body began to heal, leaving the Foreign Realm Extreme Dao cultivator fighting him aghast, as though facing something uncanny!
"Good! Good! Good! That's my grandson! You've really made me proud! Already in the Immortal Dao! Hahahaha!"
"Everyone, the war isn't over yet!"
Those words pulled everyone back to reality!
"That's right! Kill!"
The war reached a fever pitch once more!
Elsewhere, the strongest Foreign Realm Immortal, who had been held back by the Immortal Domain, was filled with hatred upon seeing Lin Yue slay three of his side's Immortals with a single sword stroke!
"Pan Shu! You ruined everything! Damn you! Immortal-Slaying Secret Art! Kill!"
The Foreign Realm Immortal struck in fury, sending Pan Shu, a supreme True Immortal from the Pan King's clan in the Immortal Domain, flying with a single punch!
However, though that divine fist was powerful, it was still incapable of killing a supreme True Immortal!
"Senior!"
Lin Yue looked at the middle-aged man hurtling back toward him without a trace of mockery. His expression was gentle as he bowed respectfully!
Back then, this man alone had stepped forward to support him! Had the Foreign Realm's strongest Immortal also attacked at the time, the consequences would have been unimaginable! Such kindness could not be forgotten!
"Ah, I've really lost face now! Hehe! We really do have to rely on you! Amazing-you entered this realm and casually slaughtered three Immortals!"
Rather than grow angry at being sent flying by a punch, Pan Shu laughed at himself!
"Wait a moment, Senior. Once I've slain this fiend, we'll fight side by side!"
"Good!"
"Arrogant brat! I refuse to believe you can truly defy heaven!"
"Hmph! Yin-Yang Reversal, Treading the Void!"
Time flowed beneath his feet, and the ages ran backward! Before the Foreign Realm Immortal could react!
Lin Yue had already appeared behind him, his right hand still held in the posture of a sword swing!
"How is this possible!"
His opponent's immortal body slowly faded, and his entire being vanished into the ages!
Lin Yue and Pan Shu looked toward the distant firmament, where ice and fire intertwined! It was already far beyond the border of Great Red Heaven!
"Kill!"
There, the lovely figure of a peerless beauty battled a Foreign Realm Quasi-King shrouded in flames!
"Snow Linglong, you're remarkable. You've nearly entered the ranks of Quasi-Kings, and your secret art defies heaven! What a pity! In the end, you're still no match for me!"
Yan Ling spoke with regret. She had held him back for years without even possessing a Quasi-King's strength! Such talent was truly astonishing! Even an enemy would not begrudge her praise!
"The outcome hasn't been decided yet! What are you so pleased about?"
"Very well. I'll send you on your way with my strongest secret art! Heaven-Incinerating Earth-Scorching!"
Yan Ling unleashed his divine furnace, sending it crashing down to suppress her. Even the void caught fire! His entire body also lunged forward like another divine furnace!
"Hmph! Nothing more than this! Profound Ice Art, Instant Eternity!"
Snow Linglong likewise unleashed her strongest secret art!
The void-no, time itself-froze! Had these been ordinary Immortals, even several together would likely have been unable to withstand it. She truly deserved her renown as the Ice Lord across both realms!
His divine furnace and divine fire froze. Unfortunately, the furnace was not all he possessed. She still came off worse in the end. Yan Ling hurled a punch wreathed in peerless divine flames, piercing through time as he burst out from one side!
"Hmph!"
A cold snort rang out, and a great hand radiating golden light swept toward him! Its might overshadowed the universe!
Sensing the kinglike power within that hand, Yan Ling had no choice but to first punch toward it! If it struck him, even a Quasi-King would be gravely injured!
Boom...
Thunder intertwined, lightning erupted, and considerable amounts of energy even sank into the void and the river of time! Under that sudden palm strike, Yan Ling was ultimately sent flying.
Snow Linglong stared in disbelief at Lin Yue, who stood before her.
"You've entered the Immortal Dao?"
"Merely a stroke of luck. Senior, leave the rest to me."
"You...!"
"I'm confident!"
"But..."
Snow Linglong wanted to say more, but she was interrupted. An enormous golden Dharma Form behind Lin Yue suppressed the void, while his Immortal Dao radiance filled heaven and earth! Its overwhelming might forcibly stopped the words she had been about to speak!
"Very well!"
"In the end, you've still grown into a force to be reckoned with, heaven-defying one!"
Feeling his numb right hand, Yan Ling sighed. Lin Yue possessed such might the moment he entered the Immortal Dao. Moreover, his physical body was truly terrifying. He had used no divine ability just now, merely laws manifested from extreme Dao divine power, yet Yan Ling's arm had nearly snapped.
The body of a king? Like those fearsome beings who could even rise against kings in battle?
"Impossible!"
"Next, I'll send you to your next life." Lin Yue stepped forward with Yin-Yang Reversal, closing in on Yan Ling.
"Hmph! Heaven-Incinerating Earth-Scorching! Suppress him!"
Yan Ling beckoned, and the divine furnace came crashing down.
"Life-Less Yin-Yang Sword! Sever yin and yang, cleave all things!"
After entering the Immortal Dao, Lin Yue's swordsmanship had further sublimated into a secret art engraved within his bloodline. He unleashed a sword stroke of ultimate offensive power, cleaving apart Yan Ling's divine furnace, which rivaled a Primordial Chaos Ancient Artifact! The terrifying energy illuminated even the depths of the dark firmament with perfect clarity.
"Kill!"
Sword strikes and divine fists collided again and again, stirring ripples through the ages and time. Lin Yue was honing his mastery of this realm! Yan Ling, however, grew more alarmed with every exchange. Lin Yue was improving far too quickly! They had begun evenly matched, yet now he was being suppressed. How little time had passed?
One was a supreme Quasi-King of the Foreign Realm, the other a Heaven-Defying Immortal of the Nine Heavens. Their battle drew countless gazes! After all, one of them had just entered the Immortal Dao before the cultivators of all three realms, and some believed him capable of rivaling a Quasi-King!
Now, it seemed a Quasi-King was no match for him. Lin Yue was actually suppressing Yan Ling, and everyone was utterly convinced!
Chapter 50: Slaying a Quasi-King
"Die! Sword Disrupts Yin and Yang!"
Where the sword passed, yin and yang fell into chaos, making it impossible to gather Dao laws or precious arts. Helpless, Yan Ling had to endure nearly every slash with his immortal body. The wounds had gone from shallow cuts at first to increasingly deep gashes. Now, he no longer dared face Lin Yue's strikes head-on, relying instead on movement techniques to evade them. The Quasi-King's expression darkened!
Lin Yue paid none of that any mind. Every move manifested earth-shaking visions, as though an Immortal King had descended upon the world!
A battle fought to one's heart's content was a martial practitioner's highest pursuit, the fastest and best road to a higher realm!
Another sword stroke drove Yan Ling back!
"If you have no other means left, you can enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
Lin Yue spoke calmly, believing Yan Ling no longer had any value!
"Enough of your arrogance! Endless Fire Domain, Heaven-Burning Earth-Boiling!"
Yan Ling likewise attacked madly. He had always regarded the Nine Heavens as a training ground, yet now someone from there spoke as though he were nothing more than a sparring tool. It sent his fury surging.
His entire body became like a divine furnace, smelting heaven and earth!
An impressive method-using himself as a furnace to refine all living beings! Lin Yue marveled inwardly as well. He truly was a supreme figure who had brushed against the king realm! The path he walked was indeed extraordinary, with aspects even worth learning from.
"Profound Yin Sword, arise!"
The Immortal Dao-level Profound Yin Sword took shape, and black flames ignited with the power to devour vitality. His opponent seemed to wield fire Dao laws, but those divine flames were actually a manifested phenomenon born from the ultimate sublimation of his own divine essence.
Ink-black mist spread from Lin Yue's blade. Many stars began to be devoured, losing their vitality and even becoming dead stars, ultimately stripped of all value.
Had it not been necessary to deal with Yan Ling, Lin Yue would not have wanted to use this secret art born from his extreme Yin Dao body!
All things possessed spirit, and stars had their own pulses. Some primordial stars could even develop consciousness after long ages. Now, they were being devoured and turned into dead stars. For someone cultivating the Dao of yin and yang, such a secret art harmed the harmony of heaven!
Still, there's a way to make amends. Hehe!
Sensing the power of Lin Yue's sword, even Yan Ling, a Quasi-King, felt a chill throughout his body.
"Damn it! I refuse to believe the gap is this great! Destroy him!"
Endless divine flames spread and descended, seeking to burn away everything with form! Unfortunately, the black flames on Lin Yue's sword were even more terrifying. They directly devoured Yan Ling's divine fire, and the sword slashed across his immortal body!
"Ah...! Bastard! These flames are uncanny! Damn it!"
The wound stretched diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist. Black flames still burned upon it, clinging like maggots to bone as they devoured his immortal aura and vitality. Even Yan Ling's long, fiery-red hair rapidly began turning gray.
"Hmph! Die! Life-Less Yin-Yang Sword! Sever yin and yang, cleave all things!"
One sword stroke left no life. Such swordsmanship seemed designed to slay bodies and ancient artifacts with heaven-shaking defenses! It even possessed the properties of undying divine patterns, destroying everything and disrupting yin and yang! It could even annihilate the primordial spirit. Once its sword intent touched an opponent, whether a person or an object, the yin-yang divine patterns within would collapse!
Boom...
Yan Ling's body exploded. The precious blood of an immortal being who had touched the king realm fell like golden rain. With a sweep of his great hand, Lin Yue collected much of its blood essence, while some was absorbed by the dormant primordial stars and sank into their deepest reaches. Though they would remain dormant for a short while.
As time passed, however, once the essence within that precious blood could no longer sustain its immortal divinity, it would slowly disperse and awaken those ancient stars once more! Their vitality would then return!
Take from all things and return to all things. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao would unleash killing intent, bringing forth a Dharma-Ending Era or even world annihilation!
A Quasi-King had fallen just like that. The Heavenly Dao no longer had the strength to weep.
"Heavens! Has even Lord Yan Ling died in battle? Why? Aren't we invincible? Yet now the Nine Heavens have killed so many of our Immortals!"
Someone from the Foreign Realm wailed, their understanding of war overturned.
"Whatever the Foreign Realm thinks, I'm already numb! Lord Lin Yue is too fierce! He kills Immortals like ants and slaughters Quasi-Kings like dogs!"
"We really can win! With Lord Lin Yue here, we really can win!"
Just then, another earth-shaking fluctuation surged from the Foreign Realm's camp!
Another great host descended!
Dozens of brilliant streams of immortal light shot forth, accompanied by nearly ten Quasi-King auras! Four of them flew straight toward the firmament where Lin Yue stood.
"Heavens! More of them? What is here that makes them commit such forces?"
Someone from the Nine Heavens sighed!
