Dozens of the Fire Clan members stood in the air, their flames forming clouds, looking incredibly majestic.
What surprised Lin Heng the most was that Yan Luo, Second-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm, was standing at the very back of the group.
Lin Heng probed with his soul, quickly assessing the opponent's overall strength.
Two experts at the Primordial Chaos Profound Realm, six Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable, ten Eighth-Grade Heavenly Venerable, and after that, apart from Yan Luo, the weakest were all Sixth-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
Such a force is absolutely capable of sweeping away all forces in the Third Heaven.
However, the fact that they have now mobilized for the Battle Heaven Pavilion of the Eighth Heaven clearly shows the Fire Clan's determination to eliminate Lin Heng.
After taking a look around, Lin Heng's gaze settled on the two people at the very front.
"The two Primordial Chaos of the Heavenly Profound Xuanming, it seems my Lin Heng is indeed considerable, to be able to mobilize the two Primordial Chaos generals of the Fire Clan."
Lin Heng chuckled, but at the same time a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.
According to the information provided by Yan Luo, all Eight Generals of the Fire Clan are experts at the Primordial Chaos Heaven Realm. Why are these two only at the Profound Realm?
Ye Qing had only recently learned that the Primordial Realm was divided into four realms, starting with the strongest, the Heaven Realm, followed by the Earth Realm, the Profound Realm, and the Yellow Realm.
After staring intently at the two Primordial Chaos generals for a moment, a guess appeared in Lin Heng's mind.
Good and Evil Doppelgangers!
Reaching the Primordial Realm allows one to temper their body with the Primordial Chaos, transcend their own soul, and merge with heaven and earth.
During this process, Good and Evil Doppelgangers will differentiate, similar to the Daoist practice of severing the three corpses.
The Good and Evil Doppelgangers that separate from each other possess their own independent thoughts, can cultivate on their own, and can even live independently.
However, when summoned by its master, the clone is unable to resist.
Clearly, the two generals dispatched by the Fire Clan this time were not their true forms, but rather clones.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.
After all, the Fire Clan's Four Lords and Eight Generals are incredibly powerful beings, and their deployment would naturally attract the attention of the Ascenders Ones.
The good and Good and Evil Doppelgangers are different. They live alone in their daily lives, and even the Ascenders ones cannot keep track of all the clones of the Fire Clan's Primordial Chaos experts.
This gave them an opening, and this time they sent their clones down to the lower realm along with other powerful members of the Fire Clan, thus preventing the Ascenders from noticing.
According to Lin Heng's estimation, it was probably not just the two Fire Clan generals, but also the Four Lords who had come in clones.
As for the information Yan Luo gave that the Four Lords and two generals were coming, it wasn't that he deliberately lied.
You expect a mere Second-Grade Heavenly Venerable to see through the true cultivation level of Primordial Chaos Great Being?
Without knowing the other party's cultivation level, it's impossible to determine whether it's the real body or an avatar.
" Lin Heng, I didn't expect you to recognize us."
"It seems you've indeed paid a lot of attention to my Fire Clan."
Yan Juetian sneered, his cold eyes constantly revealing a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
It seems that Yan Juetian sent the Evil Avatar.
Of course, the so-called Good and Evil Doppelgangers cannot be judged solely by its literal meaning.
The conduct of the Good Avatar and Evil Avatar is closely related to the principal deity.
Just like a Devil Race cultivator--
His Good Avatar probably only extends to refraining from indiscriminate killing; does he really expect him to perform a good deed every day, like helping an old lady cross the street?
The same applies to the definition of Evil Avatar, except that they are more decisive in their killings and more warlike and bloodthirsty.
"Only two clones have come, or is the main body unable to participate?"
Lin Heng smiled, showing no weakness despite the opponent's Primordial Realm cultivation level.
" Lin Heng, you should feel honored that you were able to mobilize both of our clones."
Yan Xuanming proudly raised his head and spoke in a condescending manner.
Lin Heng scoffed at Yan Xuanming's remarks.
I should feel honored to have your clone deployed.
So, am I just supposed to stand here and let you kill me?
"Further words are pointless. Since you're so confident you can destroy my Battle Heaven Pavilion, then I'll see if you truly have the strength!"
Lin Heng was unwilling to say more, after all, the only way to resolve the feud between the two sides was through fists and swords.
Hearing Lin Heng's disdainful tone, the two generals in the sky, Jue Tian Xuanming, also became furious.
Yan Juetian looked at a Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm cultivator behind him and said, " Yan Ye, take a few people to try out this Profound Ice Heaven-Defending Formation. I want to see if it's real or fake."
The fact that Yan Juetian made this statement naturally indicates that this matter is extremely important.
The Profound Ice Heaven-Defending Formation is one of the Water Race's inherited formations, and outsiders have no way of knowing about it.
But now that it has appeared at the Battle Heaven Pavilion, the significance of this matter is extraordinary.
If the Water Race truly disregarded the honor of the Eight Great Imperial Clans and taught Lin Heng even such an ancient formation, then the Fire Clan would naturally have to demand an explanation from the Water Race.
"Yes, sir!"
Having received the order, Yan Ye bowed and accepted it, then turned and swept his gaze over the four Eighth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm cultivators. "The four of you will come with me to break the formation!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Ye led the four of them and rushed forward.
The five formed a U-shape, with Yan Ye at the head. The Heavenly Venerable Origin Treasure in their hands flashed with dazzling firelight as they attacked the Profound Ice Heaven-Defending Formation below, which was surrounded by blue light.
As Yan Ye and his group descended, the five beams of light gradually merged into one.
For a moment, the flames illuminated most of the sky, and a tiger, its entire body bathed in flames, let out a deafening roar.
The fiery giant tiger quickly set its sights on the Profound Ice Heaven-Defending Formation!
The giant claw, which was at least ten meters thick, suddenly rose and slammed down fiercely towards the great formation.
The tiger's claws Space Shattering, hurtling towards them with a whoosh!
The tiger's claws, enveloped in firelight, slammed fiercely into the blue light.
With a 'bang', the Profound Ice Heaven-Defending Formation trembled slightly, but within a breath or two, the formation returned to calm.
Seeing this, Yan Juetian's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
With his discerning eye, it was not difficult for him to see that the Profound Ice Heaven-Defending Formation was not a random imitation, but a genuine Water Race's inherited formation.
"It seems that the rise of Ao Zhantian back then has caused divisions within our Eight Great Imperial Clans!"
"Nowadays, many people among the other races hold the attitude that since they can't stop it, they might as well indulge it!"
"I never expected the Water Race to go to such lengths, secretly colluding with the Battle Heaven Pavilion Battle Heaven Pavilion and even giving away their inherited formation!"
Yan Juetian's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, a result of his anger.
But Yan Xuanming had a greater worry. "You seem to have forgotten something more important. We launched a surprise attack in the dead of night, and everything was done so meticulously, yet Lin Heng still made preparations in advance. Otherwise, how could he have activated the Profound Ice Heaven-Defending Formation immediately, and with so many disciples inside continuously supplying him with Source Power?"
Yan Juetian frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Is there a traitor within my Fire Clan?"
Upon hearing this from behind, Yan Luo's body tensed instantly, and his legs trembled.
The guy was trembling so much he almost performed a dramatic waterfall plunging three thousand feet through the air.
