The villagers of Chang Village were trembling with fear.
They were utterly terrified of this group of ferocious Spirit-Hunting Bandits.
They were very worried after hearing what Lin Heng had just said.
Who is this young man that he dares to disregard a group of Spirit-Hunting Bandits?
All they knew was that Chang Qiong had brought back a guest who had saved Chang Qiong's life, but they didn't know anything about the guest's cultivation level.
Among the villagers are many cultivators at the True God Realm and Heavenly God Realm, and even God King like the village chief Chang Deguang!
Unfortunately, they live in the Longevity Realm.
The spatial pressure in the Longevity Realm is too great, making it difficult for them to display their full combat power.
However, there are also great advantages to being in the Longevity Realm, where cultivators can more easily reach the God Realm.
"We only intended to hunt down the Sacrificial Spirit, but since there's such an ignorant fool in this village, don't blame us for massacring the entire village!"
The bandit leader seemed to be enraged by Lin Heng, shouting, "Brothers, attack! Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
After shouting, he swung his long sword and slashed straight at Lin Heng's location.
The longsword unleashed a fiery red holy light!
The holy light contains powerful laws!
This power of law is different from that of the God Realm; it carries the mighty power of the Heavenly Dao of the Longevity Realm!
"Snort!"
Lin Heng snorted coldly. As the long sword came slashing towards him, he suddenly raised his right arm and easily caught the tip of the sword with two fingers of his right hand!
With a flick of two fingers, the tip of the knife separated from the blade!
"This..."
The bandit leader was stunned!
His longsword was a genuine Saint Artifact, and of considerable quality, yet it was snapped in two by the opponent with just two fingers!
Moreover, the opponent did not use any internal energy!
This is terrifying!
call out!
Lin Heng swung his right arm, and the tip of the Saint Artifact shot out with a whoosh, piercing the bandit leader's neck at an extremely fast speed!
The bandit leader, who possessed Peak Saint Realm cultivation, was horrified to discover that he was completely unable to dodge the blade thrown by his opponent!
The speed of that blade tip was simply too fast!
His neck was mostly cut open, and his cervical vertebrae were broken by the blade!
Before he could react, Lin Heng darted forward and punched him in the chest!
BOOM!!
The bandit leader's Saint Body exploded!
The other Spirit-Hunting Bandits were terrified and scattered in all directions.
Lin Heng certainly wouldn't let them escape.
He swung his right arm again, and Saint Power surged forth.
Streams of gray Saint Power, like sword beams, mercilessly reaped the lives of the bandits.
They didn't even manage to escape a hundred feet before they were killed on the spot!
In the Longevity Realm, let alone those at the Saint Realm Saint Realm or below, even Great Saint and Supreme Saint cannot Teleportation!
The villagers of Chang Village were dumbfounded when they saw Lin Heng casually kill these bandits.
Is this the power of the strong?
Killing Saint Realm is easier than slaughtering a chicken or a dog!
Chang Deguang had previously had some doubts about Lin Heng's Supreme Saint Realm cultivation, but now he has no doubts at all!
Lin Heng did not wipe out the entire band of Spirit-Hunting Bandits, but instead captured a Saint Realm expert alive.
"Village chief, farewell!"
Lin Heng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chang Deguang, then led the captured bandits from the Saint Realm away from Chang Village.
Along the way, Lin Heng continued to inquire about the situation in the Longevity Realm from this bandit from the Saint Realm.
Without Lin Heng saying anything, the bandit quickly guessed that he might be a Supreme Saint saint who had just ascended from the God Realm.
The bandit cursed his bad luck!
This was the first time he had ever seen Ascenders since birth!
This bandit was, after all, Saint Realm cultivator, and as Spirit-Hunting Bandits, he often traveled around, so his knowledge was far more extensive than Chang Deguang's.
From him, Lin Heng learned that most of the Spirit Radiance Region was under the control of the Human Race of the Longevity Realm.
There are also other races such as demonic beasts in the Spirit Radiance Region, but their strength is far inferior to that of Human Race.
The Human Race in the Spirit Radiance Region naturally also possesses significant power.
These powerful forces are not sects or organizations, but cities.
The lord of each city is the ruler of a region.
The larger the city, the wider the area ruled by its lord.
In general, the lord of a small town is a vassal of the lord of a large town.
The city lord is subordinate to a powerful force or a big shot in the Ninefold Heaven.
Although there are more cultivation opportunities and resources in the Ninefold Heaven, there are also some within the Ten Regions, just relatively fewer.
The power of the mark that Ascenders gain through the Gate of Ascension is called Source Power!
Every place in the Longevity Realm possesses Source Power; it is not only unique and advanced but also contains pure life energy.
As long as one can continuously absorb Source Power, one can achieve immortality and no longer be limited by lifespan.
certainly--
Immortality does not mean being immortal; it simply means having an endless lifespan and not dying naturally. However, one can still lose their life if they encounter an unexpected disaster.
Only those who reach the pinnacle of the Longevity Realm can truly achieve immortality and Eternal Ages existence!
This bandit from the Saint Realm had heard of the Taiji Heavenly Venerable, but that was all he had ever heard of.
Taiji Heavenly Venerable is naturally a big shot in the Ninefold Heaven, but he also has a lineage within the Ten Regions. Regardless of race, as long as one has high enough talent, one may become a disciple of Taiji Heavenly Venerable.
In the Longevity Realm, the Taiji Heavenly Venerable, who teaches without discrimination, has an excellent reputation!
"There is indeed a Heavenly Defense City 20,000 li to the east!"
The bandit from the Saint Realm said, " Heavenly Defense City is considered a relatively small city in the Longevity Realm. Its city lord, Zhuge Yun, is at the Great Peak Saint Realm and rules over a territory spanning forty thousand miles!"
Although the Longevity Realm is not as vast and expansive as the God Realm, it is still boundless and expansive.
Let alone looking at the entire Longevity Realm, even in the Spirit Radiance Region, tens of thousands of miles is a very short distance.
The area spanning tens of thousands of miles is actually not a very large region.
"You Spirit-Hunting Bandits are wreaking havoc in his territory, are you just going to let Zhuge Yun do as you please?"
Lin Heng asked, puzzled.
"In fact, the Spirit-Hunting Bandits have been rampant for two reasons: first, they are not easy to punish, since the Spirit-Hunting Bandits have no fixed base and are always on the move; and second, the city lord Zhuge Yun, deliberately condones them."
"Oh?"
Lin Heng was even more confused, "Why would Zhuge Yun condone the Spirit-Hunting Bandits?"
"Every Spirit-Hunting Bandits pays tribute to him!"
The bandit replied, "In the past, the city Human Race of the Longevity Realm could levy taxes on the villages and towns under their rule. At that time, the city lords would not allow Spirit-Hunting Bandits to act recklessly. But later, a super strong Human Race stopped the city lords from exploiting the lower-class Human Race, and the situation changed!"
"The city lords stopped collecting taxes, and many villages and towns became increasingly wealthy. As a result, the Spirit-Hunting Bandits began to collude with those greedy city lords!"
"Some city lords have a bit of mercy; they only allow Spirit-Hunting Bandits to plunder villages and towns, but not to commit murder!"
"But some city lords are quite ruthless, like Zhuge Yun, who doesn't care at all about the lives of the lower-class Human Race within his territory!"
"He charged the Spirit-Hunting Bandits exorbitant fees, and in order to make a profit, the Spirit-Hunting Bandits had no choice but to ruthlessly exploit the villages and towns, slaughtering anyone who resisted!"
"In fact, the existence of Spirit-Hunting Bandits is a disguised way for city lords to levy taxes on their ruled territories!"
