"Thump, thump, thump..."
Just then, a distant and ethereal drumbeat slowly rang out, lasting nine beats, and resounded throughout every corner of the Mortal Star Domain.
At this moment, cultivators both inside and outside the land of inheritance raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
No one knew exactly where the drumbeat came from, but every monk knew what it meant.
The nine resounding of the Heavenly Drum signifies the fall of a powerful figure at the level of Great Emperor!
The sound of the Heavenly Drum, carrying an indescribable sorrow, echoed throughout the entire Mortal Star Domain.
What happened?
"A Great Emperor -level expert has fallen!"
" The Great Emperor of the Sound-Listening Clan has fallen!"
Upon hearing this news, countless beings in the Mortal Star Domain immediately fell silent.
The heavy bells continued to toll, nine times in a row, each sound echoing.
Some cultivators who were closely monitoring the movements of the inheritance site stared in shock at the now-vanished black hole.
It's unclear when it started, but all living beings in the Mortal Star Domain began to kneel in that direction.
Many cultivators were unaware of what had happened, but at this moment, they all understood that the supreme being in their hearts had fallen!
And in an extremely tragic way!
This scene clearly enraged the remaining thirty-five Great Emperor.
"Let's all attack together and slaughter these suicidal beasts!"
"Watch out for the poison on them, let's charge together!"
After saying that, dozens of powerful Great Emperor attacked, and the flames that filled the sky were like Xingchen, almost lighting up the entire starry sky.
"Boom..."
"Boom!"
Dozens of Great Emperor stepped forward simultaneously, each facing off against a demonic beast in a one-on-one battle.
As for the remaining Great Emperor, they were also figuring out how to directly eliminate the Herb Elder.
These demonic beasts are clearly under the control of Herb Elder. As the saying goes, to catch the thief, you must first catch the king. If we can capture Herb Elder, these demonic beasts will be leaderless and lose their coordination. They will be no match for so many powerful Great Emperor.
However, most cultivators could imagine this, so how could Herb Elder not have imagined it himself?
Therefore, if a cultivator rushes towards him, a demon beast will risk its life to stop them.
As for the Great Emperor who stepped forward specifically to deal with the demonic beasts, most of them were wary of the demonic beasts' potent poison and dared not get close, thus they could not completely restrain the demonic beasts.
In fact, if it were a one-on-one fight between these demonic beasts, none of them would be a match for the Great Emperor present. However, these demonic beasts cooperated and even helped each other, which caused considerable trouble for the Great Emperor.
Furthermore, all the Great Emperor had witnessed the tragic fate of the Sound-Listening Clan's Great Emperor, and they would never want to follow in Great Emperor Tingyin footsteps, so they fought with extreme caution.
As a result, the battle reached a delicate balance, with Great Emperor and the demonic beast restraining each other, and neither able to advance any further.
The old man, addressed as "Village Chief" by the other elders, smiled slightly upon seeing this, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Now it's my turn to make my move."
That's what they said, but after they finished speaking, the village chief of the Short Sky Island didn't move an inch.
Not only the village chief of Short Sky Island, but even the remaining Great Emperor not far away were all observing, and for a moment, the scene was deadlocked.
Lin Yu wasn't surprised at all by what he saw.
Because he had expected it all along.
For the nine elders of Short Sky Island, they are dragging things out.
As long as they can hold out until their young master Chen Xiaoxian completes his breakthrough, their mission will be considered successfully completed.
The elders of Short Sky Island are gambling that the remaining eight elders can hold off more than a dozen Great Emperor for three days.
That's right, it's a gamble, because even the elders of Short Sky Island themselves weren't sure if they could hold out for three days!
Although they all possess special physical attributes, just as Lin Yu had considered before, even if these special attributes could enhance the strength of others, the time and magnitude of the enhancement would definitely not be very long.
Moreover, the elders of Short Sky Island are not only aiming to challenge opponents of higher levels, but also to fight multiple opponents simultaneously, which further increases the difficulty of the situation.
The only reason the elders of Short Sky Island are still able to hold on is that they are burning their own life essence!
This battle is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them!
Lin Yu wasn't the only one who noticed this; even the Great Emperor in the Land of Inheritance noticed it.
No one said it aloud; all the Great Emperor knew it in their hearts.
They knew that as long as they dragged things out long enough, the elders of Short Sky Island would surely be defeated!
It was precisely because they had considered this that all the Great Emperor fought with some restraint.
The powerful Great Emperor gathered at the Land of Inheritance were all ambitious individuals who coveted the inheritance. None of them wanted to slink home without even seeing what the inheritance was like.
However, this time, the powerful Great Emperor did not come from a single sect or race, and some of them did not even belong to a small world.
In such a situation, if you partner up and fight without holding back, your special moves are very likely to be seen by others.
After all, a friend one second can become an enemy the next second in the inheritance process.
If other cultivators learn of your trump card beforehand, they may take precautions, making it difficult to strike again in the future.
Therefore, none of the Great Emperor who have made a move are going all out; they are just waiting for the other side to make the first move so that they can reap the benefits.
When all the Great Emperor think this way, it leads to the current stalemate.
Many Great Emperor appear to be fighting, but more often than not, they are just putting on a show of fighting; in reality, they are just slacking off.
Lin Yu even calculated that the thirty-six Great Emperor Great Emperor were not all of them; several others had concealed their auras in the void and had not yet revealed themselves.
Moreover, these Great Emperor who concealed their auras were all quite powerful, with some even reaching the Late Emperor Level!
If they were willing to intervene, they could obviously end the battle quickly, but then they would face a desperate counterattack from the elders of Short Sky Island, a crisis that would be incomparable to the present one.
Moreover, the village chief of Short Sky Island hasn't even made a move yet.
Even without making a move, just standing there exudes an indescribable sense of oppression.
All the Great Emperor believed that the village chief of this Short Sky Island still had a backup plan!
For those hidden Great Emperor, they were not in a hurry at all; no matter how strong the elders of Short Sky Island were, they were no match for them.
As for the inheritance, isn't that just there? There's no need to rush!
