Lin Yu arrived at the palace and flew directly into the center of the main hall.
This palace contains many powerful defensive magical artifacts and numerous sculptures of divine beasts. These divine beasts are so lifelike that they seem to have truly come to life. Some of them even instilled a sense of fear in Lin Yu.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yu suddenly raised an eyebrow. He saw a blood-red short dagger lying quietly in the very center of the hall.
The material of this short dagger was neither jade nor iron nor gold; Lin Yu felt a tremor in his sea of consciousness after just one glance at it.
A powerful killing intent emanated from the blood-red short dagger!
"What an eerie aura!" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, inwardly alarmed.
" Buzz"
A terrifying pressure spread out, and Lin Yu felt his blood and qi about to boil.
"What is this?" Lin Yu's pupils contracted slightly, and he stared at the blood-red short dagger with a somewhat ugly expression. He could sense that this short dagger was definitely a powerful innate treasure!
Lin Yu had heard Long Aotian mention it before; the value of such a supreme innate treasure was beyond question, and even Lin Yu felt a chill run down his spine.
"Buzzing~~"
The dagger suddenly began to tremble violently, as if it possessed a strong spiritual power.
"Oh no! This dagger is strange! We have to get out of here!"
Lin Yu quickly retreated thousands of miles, simultaneously raising a black and white flag to protect his entire body.
Under Lin Yu's perception, the killing intent on the dagger grew stronger and stronger, and even the Holy Spirit Sword within his body trembled, as if it were afraid of something.
Lin Yu sensed that this matter seemed to have some connection to him.
"Whoosh!"
The blood-red dagger streaked across the void like a rainbow, heading straight for Lin Yu.
"Buzz~~"
The short dagger gleamed with a crimson light, radiating a thick, Sha Qi, as if it wanted to devour everything.
Lin Yu frowned slightly. This dagger was too strange; Lin Yu couldn't defend against it at all.
"Buzz!"
To Lin Yu's horrified gaze, the blood-red dagger crashed directly into the black and white flags that Lin Yu had set up. Lin Yu felt a terrifying force surge into him, and his true essence, magical power, divine power, and even soul power were absorbed by the dagger in an instant.
"How could this be?" Lin Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.
He was a powerful expert at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while this short dagger was only a first-grade divine artifact. How could it possess such terrifying absorption power, capable of absorbing a large amount of a powerful expert's true essence, magical power, and even soul power!
Rumble~~
After absorbing Lin Yu's true essence, the short dagger exploded, turning into a shower of blood that filled the sky.
Ah!~
A piercing scream rang out, and from the blood mist of the exploding dagger, a figure in black robes flew out. The figure wore a black cloak and a bamboo hat, obscuring their face.
"Who are you? Why did you ambush me?" Lin Yu stared at the man in black robes.
" Lin Yu?"
The man in black robes slowly removed his hat, revealing his true identity—the very same Heavenly Devil Race Holy Lord whom Lin Yu had annihilated.
Lin Yu's expression changed slightly. This Holy Lord of the Heavenly Devil Race Clan was even more terrifying than the human God King from before!
The strength of this Heavenly Devil Race Clan Holy Lord is actually greater than that of the God King from before; in fact, he might even surpass Lin Yu!
This guy is actually a peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal!
Although Lin Yu had already advanced to the Golden Immortal Realm, he was not a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, but a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Lin Yu's current strength is enough to easily defeat even a powerhouse at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but this powerhouse at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm...
"We meet again!" That day, the Devil Race Lord's lips curled into a cold smile. "You're Lin Yu, the one who killed my son, aren't you? I'll remember you!"
"You... you are the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Devil Race?" Lin Yu's pupils contracted slightly. "How did you get here?"
"Heh, you don't need to ask why I'm here!" The Devil Race Lord sneered that day, swinging his spear.
Whoosh!
A streak of blood-red light shot over.
Lin Yu's pupils contracted, and he grabbed the blood-red spear!
That blood-red spear was actually a gigantic spear over ten zhang long, covered with intricate patterns. Upon closer inspection, Lin Yu discovered that the patterns were ancient runes.
The spear emanated a terrifying aura, and Lin Yu's heart inexplicably pounded. Lin Yu knew that this spear was no ordinary weapon!
"This is the Longevity Spear?" Lin Yu's pupils contracted slightly. "You're actually the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Devil Race?"
This Longevity Spear is none other than the Heavenly Demon Battle Halberd, the treasure of the Heavenly Devil Race Clan from ancient times.
This Longevity Spear is a treasure personally crafted by the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Devil Race in ancient times. It possesses boundless power and is a formidable offensive weapon!
This Longevity Spear is said to have been forged by the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Devil Race Clan using the essence of his entire life. It is incredibly powerful and an extremely troublesome treasure. Back then, the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Devil Race relied on this Heavenly Demon War Halberd to roam the Three Realms and the Eight Desolations, shaking the universe with his might. Unfortunately, he ultimately perished in the great war against the Demon Race!
However, the Heavenly Demon Battle Halberd has also disappeared.
"Indeed, I am the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Devil Race!" the Heavenly Devil Race Holy Lord said coldly. "However, your luck is truly bad; you have offended a force you shouldn't have! Our Heavenly Devil Race's Holy Maiden—if you are willing to hand her over and abandon your enmity with us, you may still have a way out!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that the words of the Heavenly Devil Race's Holy Lord were not directed at him.
However, he shook his head and said, "The Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Devil Race is not with me. I don't even know her. How could I possibly hand her over?"
"Hmph, who are you trying to fool?"
That day, the Devil Race Lord sneered, "I have already investigated your Lin Lineage. It is said that the Lin Lineage possesses a Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill. That Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill can rejuvenate a cultivator. If you truly knew nothing about it, how could you have hidden it in your Lineage's secret realm?"
The Heavenly Demon Saint Lord was clearly trying to trick Lin Yu.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu burst into laughter. "Brother, we've never met before, isn't it a bit too much for you to wrongly accuse me like this?"
"Hmph, don't try to fool me. I've already investigated. That Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is indeed the treasure of your Lin Lineage. If you hand it over, you might have a chance to live; otherwise, you must die!"
