Lin Heng raised the Killing Sword in his hand, its tip pointing towards the Eight Great Imperial Clans families, and slowly swept across the air.
"What? Facing the First-Turn Samsara, you don't even dare to send one person to fight?"
Lin Heng's domineering voice echoed throughout the space.
Faced with such a provocative act, the forces under the command of the Eight Great Imperial Clans dared not speak out against it.
Those below dared not respond and lowered their heads, but those above could not bear to watch.
The Fire Clan representative suddenly stood up!
The representative from the Firmament Hall immediately became alert, turned his head to look at them, and said indifferently, "What? You want to go down and have some fun too?"
The Fire Clan representative understood the true meaning behind the other party's words and scoffed, "I wouldn't stoop to such a disrespectful act."
After reassuring the Firmament Hall with a reply, the Fire Clan representative went to the edge of the platform and shouted to Lin Heng, " Lin Heng! Since you want to find an opponent to play with, do you dare to fight my men? If you win, my Fire Clan will cede five million miles of land in the Ninefold Heaven and offer you a medium-sized Origin Vein. How about it?"
Faced with such generous terms, how could Lin Heng refuse?
After all, they've already packed the things and delivered them to you; it would be incredibly disrespectful to refuse them.
"Since you're offering me five million miles of territory plus a Origin Vein for free, why not take it?"
Lin Heng accepted the challenge without hesitation.
Seeing this, the Fire Clan representative chuckled inwardly before speaking again, "However, if you lose, you will have to pay the price for your previous provocation by being confined to my Fire Clan for a hundred years as punishment."
The previous sacrifices were all to get Lin Heng to agree; the Fire Clan representative's real intention was to take Lin Heng away.
Upon hearing this, the five forces, including the Firmament Hall, were all enraged. The Fire Clan was truly audacious, daring to set a trap for Lin Heng right in front of them.
The representative from the Firmament Hall was the first to stand up. " Lin Heng, ignore him. This is a martial arts competition in the Ninefold Heaven; the Fire Clan has no right to attack you."
Lin Heng smiled slightly, "Someone is giving away territory and Origin Vein for free, why not take it?"
The Fire Clan representative, who had initially feared Lin Heng might change his mind, nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
Seeing that Lin Heng had no intention of changing his mind, the people from the Firmament Hall could only sigh helplessly, retreat to their seats, and think about how to suppress the Fire Clan afterward so that they could not take Lin Heng away.
After Lin Heng accepted the challenge, a muscular man emerged from behind the Fire Clan representative. He was wrapped in a cloth, with most of his body exposed, showcasing his strong muscles.
" Yan Ming, spend some time playing with him."
After saying this, the Fire Clan representative returned to his seat.
The Fire Clan cultivator named Yan Ming leaped from the high platform, his body tracing a graceful arc in mid-air before landing steadily in front of Lin Heng.
Yan Ming is a cultivator at the Seventh-Turn Samsara, which means he is also a powerful being who has comprehended the art of Time Stasis.
The Fire Clan representative was so confident because he believed that Lin Heng's previous aggression stemmed from his understanding of the Law of Time. Under such circumstances, Lin Heng would have no advantage against Yan Ming, who had also grasped the Law of Time.
Without the protection of Time Stasis, the Fire Clan representative did not believe that Lin Heng, who had First-Turn Samsara, could defeat Yan Ming, who had undergone Seventh-Turn Samsara, in a normal battle.
I can give you a choice: you can choose how you die!
Yan Ming stared coldly at Lin Heng, his eyes filled with disdainful mockery.
As he spoke, Yan Ming reached forward with his right hand and a long spear burning with flames appeared out of thin air, which he then grasped in his hand.
With the spear in hand, Yan Ming's aura surged instantly, and the powerful aura of the Seventh-Transformation Samsara Realm instantly transformed into a storm that pressed down on Lin Heng.
Lin Heng stepped forward expressionlessly, and an invisible Power of the Void spread out in front of him. When Yan Ming's aura storm swept over, it was completely absorbed by the Power of the Void.
This initial probe caused the mockery in Yan Ming's eyes to vanish, replaced by a solemn and serious expression.
"This Lin Heng is indeed quite extraordinary!"
Yan Ming dared not be careless, abandoned his probing, gripped the spear tightly, turned the muzzle, and thrust it at Lin Heng.
The spear spun, its movements as fluid as a swimming dragon.
The long spear, engulfed in flames, resembled a ferocious fire dragon, roaring as it lunged at Lin Heng.
Lin Heng raised the Killing Sword and thrust it forward with a fierce thrust. Just as the fire dragon formed from the spear lunged at him, the tip of the sword pierced right into the fire dragon's mouth.
The clash between the spear and the Killing Sword caused a powerful impact, and Lin Heng felt a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth.
As expected of an attack from the Seventh-Transformation Samsara Realm expert, coupled with the fact that the opponent possessed High-Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure, such an attack was definitely not something that Xiao He and that mermaid could have possessed before.
Fortunately, Lin Heng possessed High-Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure, which significantly reduced the power of Yan Ming's attack. Otherwise, that attack would have been enough to make Lin Heng lose his Killing Sword.
At the same time, a layer of eerie light swirled around Lin Heng's body, and an invisible spatial force emanated from that light, completely absorbing the energy continuously flowing from the spear.
The inexplicable dissipation of the attack energy startled Yan Ming, who was wearing a smug expression.
Unaware of what had happened, Yan Ming had no choice but to retract his spear and thrust it out again.
Lin Heng did not choose to dodge, but instead swung his Killing Sword head-on to meet the attack.
This time, however, Lin Heng infused his attack with energy, drawing upon the Power of Origin of Killing within the Killing Sword.
When the spear and the Killing Sword clashed again, their evenly matched attacks instantly shook off, causing the ground beneath their feet to tremble.
The Power of Killing within the Killing Sword acted on Yan Ming through the spear, causing his internal organs to tremble and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Yan Ming's powerful attack was mostly neutralized by Lin Heng's armor after passing through the Killing Sword, and the remaining energy was absorbed into the eerie light surrounding Lin Heng's body.
On the high platform, the Fire Clan representative was shocked to see Yan Ming being beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Lin Heng after only two moves.
Could it be that Lin Heng is playing dumb, and that he's not actually at the First-Turn Samsara Realm, but is simply using some kind of treasure to conceal his aura?
However, this idea was rejected by the Fire Clan representative as soon as it was conceived.
"Wrong!"
The Fire Clan representative shook his head slightly. " Lin Heng's attacks are indeed more than just First-Turn Samsara, but they are definitely not strong enough to contend with Seventh-Turn Samsara. It's not him, it's the sword in his hand."
The Fire Clan representative quickly discovered the problem, as did the other twelve factions.
" Lin Heng's secrets seem to be more than they appear!"
" First-Turn Samsara can use Time Acceleration and Time Stasis."
"He actually possesses Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure."
"Was it just good luck, or is there some mysterious force supporting him behind the scenes?"
The Lei Clan representative muttered to himself.
