First Heaven, Dimensional Passage!
When Ao Zhantian brought Lin Heng here, all the Ascenders and powerful figures from the Eight Great Imperial Clans stationed here appeared.
Of course, they didn't come because of Ao Zhantian's influence; on the contrary, they were all there for Lin Heng.
The Ascenders wanted to see what kind of person this was who had repeatedly humiliated the Fire Clan.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans, having learned of Lin Heng's breakthrough to the Primordial Chaos, naturally wanted to meet Lin Heng and see if he truly possessed three heads and six arms.
" Sikong Hong, I'm entrusting Lin Heng to you now."
Upon arriving at the dimensional passage, Ao Zhantian completely ignored the members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans and brought Lin Heng before Sikong Hong, speaking solemnly.
" Hall Master Ao, please rest assured, Non-Self, Sikong Hong, fall, no one in this dimensional passage will be able to harm Lin Heng."
Sikong Hong deliberately raised his voice, undoubtedly as a warning to the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yan He, the leader of the Eight Great Imperial Clans guarding one side of the dimensional passage and Heavenly Firmament King Realm expert from the Fire Clan, chuckled and said, "Over the years, countless powerful individuals have perished in the dimensional passage. Sikong Hong, even you might not have the absolute power to protect yourself, let alone protect Lin Heng. If you're truly afraid of death, then don't come to the dimensional passage, lest you become a burden to everyone."
Yan He finished speaking, another powerful member of one of the Eight Great Imperial Clans burst into laughter. "Haha, the dimensional portal is the lifeline protecting our Nine Heavens, not some young master's training ground. You might lose your life there!"
Even with their outwardly hostile attitudes, it's not hard to imagine how strong the Eight Great Imperial Clans ' desire to kill Lin Heng is now.
However, the other party's attitude actually made Lin Heng smile.
A barking dog may look fierce, but it's nothing compared to a silent dog.
On the surface, Lin Heng wasn't afraid of them; what he feared was their apparent calm demeanor followed by a sudden, unexpected attack that caught him completely off guard.
Ao Zhantian was somewhat dissatisfied with the hostile attitude of the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
Even though the other party didn't say it explicitly, the target was already Lin Heng, even though he was still standing there.
" Yan He, if anything happens to Lin Heng in the interdimensional passage, even the Fire Clan won't be able to protect you."
This Ao Zhantian, Ao Zhantian showed no mercy and made a direct threat.
Yan He chuckled and retorted, "The interdimensional passage is inherently fraught with danger; if Hall Master Ao brings someone of insufficient strength, what does their death have to do with us?"
Ao Zhantian and Lin Heng realized that the other party wanted Lin Heng to show off his skills.
The subtext was telling Ao Zhantian that if he wanted Lin Heng to have a peaceful life here, then he should demonstrate his abilities.
Those who can guard dimensional portals for extended periods are among the best of their kind.
They had naturally heard about the repeated setbacks suffered by the Eight Great Imperial Clans at Lin Heng's hands.
However, due to their duties guarding the dimensional portal, they were unable to meet Lin Heng. Now that Lin Heng had arrived, they naturally wouldn't let this good opportunity pass them by.
"Heh! You just want to make a move, don't you?"
"Come on, let me see what's so special about the Eight Great Imperial Clans powerhouses who reside permanently in the dimensional portal."
Lin Heng sneered, his gaze towards the Eight Great Imperial Clans filled with provocation.
The powerful individuals guarding the dimensional passages, apart from those who have just broken through to the Primordial Realm, are all top-tier individuals of their level among the Thirteen Factions.
These people can also be called permanent dimensional portals, and they sustain themselves through war, making them far stronger than other cultivators of the same level within their clan.
Lin Heng also wanted to use this battle to confirm the level of the top combat power of the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
"Okay, you brought it up yourself."
Fearing that Ao Zhantian Yan He interrupt, Yan He quickly agreed, "Since you are Primordial Chaos Yellow Stage Primordial Chaos Yellow Stage cultivator, then we will also send one from our side."
Yan He glanced behind him and quickly fixed his gaze on a Lei Clan cultivator.
" Lei Heita, you will represent the Eight Great Imperial Clans to welcome Lin Heng, so that everyone can see whether he is qualified to stay in the dimensional portal."
Yan He finished speaking, the middle-aged man with a Lei Heita, came out.
Lei Heita raised his eyes and sized up Lin Heng, then said arrogantly, "Boy, considering you're new to the Primordial Chaos, you'll summon your clone along with you. I won't use my clone, lest others accuse me of bullying the weak."
It is said that the Eight Great Imperial Clans are all arrogant and haughty, and the Lei Clan, as the leader among them, is the most arrogant.
This was perfectly exemplified in Lei Heita at this moment.
"You think I'd need my clone to deal with you?"
Lin Heng gave a soft snort.
In other words, Lin Heng did not bring his clone with him, but left it at the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
Otherwise, if the two Earth Stage clones were to reveal themselves, Lei Heita would probably wet his pants on the spot.
"Now that the candidate has been chosen, let's set some rules."
Yan He originally intended to suggest stopping short of making a move.
With Ao Zhantian here, it's unlikely he'd actually kill Lin Heng. By offering to do so, he could create a misleading illusion for Ao Zhantian.
"No need, life and death are predestined."
"When a man proposes to fight, he should bet his life."
Lin Heng interrupted Yan He directly, speaking in a cold voice.
"Hehe!"
Yan He laughed. He had never expected Lin Heng to say such a thing. He wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to get rid of Lin Heng: "Since Lin Heng is so confident, then our Eight Great Imperial Clans cannot lose face."
As she spoke, Yan He's gaze fell on Lei Heita: " Lin Heng has caused the loss of several of our Fire Clan's strongest members. His strength should not be underestimated. You'd better show your true abilities and not let yourself be caught off guard."
While ostensibly a warning to Lei Heita to be careful, Yan He's words were actually a veiled hint at something to Lei Heita.
This kid killed quite a few of our Fire Clan members, avenging me. You'll naturally reap the rewards.
Upon hearing this, Lei Heita smiled knowingly, "I will certainly do my best."
The Eight Great Imperial Clans families quickly made their decision. Although Ao Zhantian wanted to say something, he couldn't say anything more since the suggestion was made by Lin Heng.
But knowing that Lin Heng wouldn't make boastful claims lightly, I figured that since he dared to say it, he must have confidence.
With a wave of his hand, Ao Zhantian instantly created a separate space in mid-air using the Primordial Chaos World Power.
Reaching the Primordial Chaos level means that if one were to unleash their full power, the dimensional portal would naturally be affected. To avoid giving the Hunt Clan an opportunity, fighting in an independent space is naturally the best option.
" Lin Tianhao, you few stay here and keep watch. Report to us immediately if there are any developments in the dimensional portal."
" Duo Musen, you and the rest of you stay here too. Notify us immediately if the Hunt Clan makes any moves."
After Yan He and Sikong Hong simultaneously issued orders to their subordinates, the group immediately entered Ao Zhantian's independent space.
When faced with the problems of the Hunt Clan, they naturally dared not be careless in the slightest. Leaving people to look after them was also a precaution. This sense of responsibility was ingrained in their bones and was also their pride.
