" Lin Heng, today I'll show you what a battle at the Primordial Realm truly is!"
Lei Heita flew into the air, his Fallen Star Spear aimed at Lin Heng.
Without seeing Lei Heita any other moves, he simply pointed the finger at Lin Heng.
Suddenly, a powerful, invisible energy pressed down on Lin Heng like a mountain.
There was not a single energy fluctuation felt around Lin Heng, but there was an immense pressure enveloping him.
The Primordial Chaos World Power?
A thought flashed through Lin Heng's mind.
The Primordial Chaos World Power originates from within each cultivator's Primordial Chaos World. It does not belong to this world, so naturally, one cannot sense the existence of that power.
" Thunder Star Break!"
Just as Lin Heng was bound by that heavy pressure, Lei Heita swung the Fallen Star Spear in his hand once again.
A bolt of lightning erupted from the tip of the Fallen Star Spear, heading straight for Lin Heng.
Upon seeing this, Ao Zhantian frowned.
"This is bad. Lin Heng only recently broke through to the Primordial Realm and hasn't adapted to this level of combat yet."
Ao Zhantian secretly gathered energy in his hands, already poised to strike at any moment.
Yan He was not far away, naturally sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from Ao Zhantian. He sneered, "What? You Ascenders want to break the rules? You should know that these rules were set by Lin Heng himself."
Just as an argument was about to break out, Lin Heng's cold laughter rang out first. "Ha! You need help to deal with him?"
Hearing these dismissive words, Yan He was about to retort.
'boom!'
A burst of violent energy suddenly erupted from Lin Heng's body, and in an instant, the immense pressure that had been binding him vanished.
At the same time, the attack of the Fallen Star Spear followed closely, the spear imprinted with lightning stabbing fiercely towards Lin Heng's head.
"With your mere power at the third level of the world, you dare to show off your meager skills before me?"
Having broken free from the world power binding him, Lin Heng immediately raised his hand, and a spatial black hole formed by five layers of world power appeared in front of his palm.
The Fallen Star Spear struck the spatial black hole head-on, but the explosion everyone expected did not occur. The spear's light imprint was absorbed by Lin Heng after it entered the spatial black hole.
The spatial black hole vanished without a trace, and the spear's light imprint did not stir up the slightest ripple in this space.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans members, who had been gleaming with menace just a moment ago, were now completely dumbfounded.
A spatial black hole—that's an ability only those at the Primordial Chaos Profound Stage can use, but Lin Heng is only at the Primordial Chaos Yellow Stage?
The most shocked of all was Lei Heita. Upon seeing Lin Heng use the spatial black hole, he immediately exclaimed, " Lin Heng, you've been hiding your strength! You're not Primordial Chaos Yellow Stage cultivator at all!"
This reflexive exclamation only drew ridicule from the Ascenders.
" Lei Heita, is your soul power malfunctioning, or has your cultivation level regressed to the point where you can no longer detect Lin Heng's cultivation?"
"Exactly, if you can't tell what realm Lin Heng is at, does that mean none of the Eight Great Imperial Clans can tell?"
The previous sentence was about Lei Heita, but the next sentence directly insulted all the members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans present, calling them blind.
Yan He quickly released his soul power to check Lin Heng's cultivation level.
Upon checking, Yan He was stunned.
Primordial Chaos Yellow Stage?
No, could it be that this kid used some kind of illusion to conceal his cultivation level?
This time, Yan He unleashed his full Heavenly Firmament Realm soul power.
But the result remains the same.
It is still the Primordial Chaos Yellow Stage.
Good heavens!
This kid actually shattered the understanding that had been held for countless years in the Nine Heavens, using a spatial black hole at the Primordial Chaos Yellow Stage.
Yan He had just come to her senses.
At this moment, Lin Heng was about to make another move, but Yan He called out to him.
"Wait!"
With a loud shout from Yan He, Lin Heng, who was about to launch an attack, paused and looked at him in confusion.
Yan He's eyes were filled with struggle, but in the end she said helplessly, "We concede. Lin Heng has proven that he deserves to remain in the dimensional portal."
Yan He said this, neither the Ascenders nor the Eight Great Imperial Clans could believe it.
"Senior Yan He, Lei Heita still has the strength to fight, why admit defeat?"
Immediately, someone from the Eight Great Imperial Clans asked a question.
They started this fight, and now they're the ones who're admitting defeat—they've really lost face.
Yan He naturally understood that if he admitted defeat, it would be tantamount to slapping the faces of the Ascenders in front of them.
But the facts are clear: Lin Heng's strength surpasses Lei Heita's. Continuing the fight would only turn Lei Heita into a corpse.
If it were any of the other races, Yan He might dare to take the gamble; what if he could win?
But Lei Heita is, after all, a member of the Lei Clan. If he were to lose his life at his hands, wouldn't it be better to die at the hands of the Hunt Clan? He wouldn't be able to take the blame for that.
"Senior Yan He, I haven't lost yet. I still have a trump card to use. Give me another chance, and I will definitely be able to kill Lin Heng."
Lei Heita, also unwilling to admit defeat, said urgently.
"Enough!"
Yan He sneered, "Winning is winning, losing is losing. Knowing you're no match, why not leave your life to deal with the Hunt Clan? Are you really going to sacrifice yourself here in vain?"
Yan He's words were quite shrewd; ostensibly a rebuke of Lei Heita, but in reality, they were a subtle hint to the Ascenders.
Don't forget, the fighting force here is all for dealing with the Hunt Clan. If it is lost for no reason, and something goes wrong, the blame will fall on you Ascenders.
Ao Zhantian naturally understood the implication in Yan He's words, but he didn't speak. Instead, he turned his gaze towards Lin Heng.
"Since you concede defeat, then this battle ends here."
Lin Heng did not pursue the matter further.
As for the reason, it certainly wasn't anything major.
Lin Heng's personality, if the Nine Heavens can be breached by the Hunt Clan, then I will simply come and destroy the Hunt Clan.
But the people I'm going to kill, no matter the reason, must die.
As for why he was so agreeable this time, it was because Lin Heng had gained some insights from the battle and wanted to go into seclusion as soon as possible to seek a breakthrough.
Seeing Ao Zhantian Lin Heng had relented, Ao Zhantian also did him a favor. "Then today's battle ends here. But Yan He, remember what you said. Lin Heng has already proven with his strength that he deserves to stay here. I hope the same thing won't happen again."
Yan He also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lei Heita's life was saved, what did it matter if he had to lower his head?
"Of course, I guarantee there won't be a next time."
Yan He readily agreed on the surface, but there was still something left unsaid in her heart.
I promised not to cause Lin Heng any trouble openly, but I didn't promise not to take action secretly.
How could we possibly allow someone at the Primordial Chaos Yellow Stage who can use Primordial Chaos Profound Stage abilities, especially since he's a sworn enemy of our Eight Great Imperial Clans, to leave the dimensional portal alive?
