The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor stared at Lin Heng with slight surprise.
They originally intended to use Mei Chu's maternal grandmother as leverage.
They just wanted to force Lin Heng into an unfair battle.
At the same time, Lin Heng will fight against eight Heavenly Firmament Venerable Realm.
This was also something he considered impossible.
But he demanded an exorbitant price.
In this way, when Lin Heng bargained...
This would allow the Eight Great Imperial Clans to be in a more advantageous position.
What the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor never expected was...
Lin Heng didn't even try to bargain.
And so I agreed.
This action completely baffled the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor.
Is Lin Heng so confident that he can deal with eight Heavenly Firmament Venerable Realm just by virtue of his Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm?
The thought had barely formed in his mind when it came to mind.
Even the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor himself was startled.
If that's really the case.
Lin Heng has been completely out of contact for the past few years.
Has his strength been greatly enhanced once again?
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor was still pondering.
Lin Heng spoke up again.
Since it's already decided...
"Let's begin."
After saying that, Lin Heng turned and left, leading the disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion to the pre-planned Battle Heaven Pavilion area.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans and the Ascenders also returned to their respective viewing areas.
The first battle was a fight between the thirty-six Heavenly Venerable.
The lowest-ranking Heavenly Venerable Realm disciple that Battle Heaven Pavilion sent this time was Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
Among them are one hundred Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable, Sixth-Grade Heavenly Venerable, Seventh-Grade Heavenly Venerable, Eighth-Grade Heavenly Venerable, and fifty ninth -Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
Therefore, they will not be at a disadvantage in this competition proposed by the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
But what no one expected was...
Just as the team was about to send out thirty-six disciples at the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
Lin Heng suddenly called out to them.
"Send thirty-six disciples at the Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm."
These words shocked the entire audience once again.
Although the regulations state that officials from the fifth to the ninth rank are all eligible.
But since there are enough Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm disciples.
Why even need to send out Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable?
The gap between the fifth and ninth ranks is not so easy to bridge.
However, Lin Heng's order had already been issued.
The disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion did not hesitate at all.
All thirty-six disciples at the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm who had already stepped forward retreated.
Then another thirty-six disciples at the Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm stepped forward.
Upon seeing this, the Eight Great Saint Emperors couldn't help but sneer.
Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable wants to defeat Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
Do you, Lin Heng, really think all the disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion are like you?
After a cold laugh, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor stood up and waved his hand.
Thirty-six experts at the Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable Realm immediately flew out from the side of the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
Clearly, the Eight Great Imperial Clans had already made thorough preparations.
Even the candidates have been pre-selected.
It seems these thirty-six Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable are together.
Combat strength cannot be calculated using simple addition like one plus one.
Just after the combat personnel from both sides entered the battle space.
Lin Heng suddenly asked the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor a question.
"What will happen if we lose any of these three battles?"
Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor naturally understood Lin Heng's meaning.
So what if he accidentally killed someone?
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor was secretly delighted.
Since you, Lin Heng, want the disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion to die.
Then I'll grant your wish.
"Although it's a competition and exchange of skills."
"But some casualties are inevitable."
I think we should just let them do what they want.
"Holding back would also affect the Battle Heaven Pavilion's ability to demonstrate its strength."
"I wonder if Pavilion Master Lin Heng thinks what I said makes sense?"
Lin Heng sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.
"Then let it be as the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor wishes."
"Disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, do you understand?"
One second it was Lin Heng's reply to the Eight Great Imperial Clans, the next it was giving orders to the disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
"In accordance with the spirit of the Pavilion Master!"
The thirty-six Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion shouted in unison.
The deafening roar echoed through the heavens, filling the space with a chilling atmosphere.
Upon hearing this, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor gave a cold snort with a forced smile:
"Warriors of the eight Eight Great Imperial Clans, Pavilion Master Lin Heng commands elite troops; do not hold back."
Already furious that Lin Heng had only sent Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable, and that he somewhat looked down on the thirty-six powerful members of the Eight Great Imperial Clans, they were already furious.
Upon hearing the words of the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, their eyes flashed with even more ferocity.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to want to rush up and devour the Battle Heaven Pavilion disciple alive.
Both sides' combat personnel were then ready.
The first major battle thus began.
Thirty-six powerful figures from the Eight Great Imperial Clans occupied eight different positions.
The eight Power of Origin of the thirty-six individuals began to converge towards the central position.
Lin Heng smirked when he saw this.
"The same old routine."
"No wonder the Eight Great Imperial Clans have been unable to defeat Ascenders for so many years."
Lin Heng's voice was extremely soft, but how could the assembled experts not hear it?
The expressions of the Eight Great Imperial Clans changed drastically in an instant.
This is their biggest sore spot.
But Lin Heng has now said it so brazenly.
This was undoubtedly done in front of the Nine Heavens Sect.
This was a direct slap in the face to the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor sat there, his calm expression masking his hands resting flat on the chair.
The veins on the back of his hands were already bulging.
It's not hard to see his anger.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor glanced at the nonchalant Lin Heng.
He let out a cold snort in his heart.
Lin Heng, after this battle, all thirty-six of your Battle Heaven Pavilion disciples will be killed.
Let's see how arrogant you are then!
Then look into the battle space.
The disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion quickly formed a formation.
The thirty-six people were just enough to unleash the Thirty-Six Earthly Baleful Intent Heaven-Slaying Formation.
This formation was comprehended by Lin Heng when he absorbed the inheritance of the Heavenly Estate Master.
His name contains the characters for "slaying the heavens".
It was precisely Lin Heng's confidence in this formation.
According to Lin Heng's estimate.
This formation is absolutely the number one killing formation, surpassing all other killing formations in the Nine Heavens.
A formation of thirty-six people was formed.
It can not only bring together all the attacks from everyone.
Moreover, a qualitative change can be achieved through formations.
This is not a qualitative change from addition.
It is equivalent to the Thirty-Six Earthly Baleful Intent Heaven-Slaying Formation composed of thirty-six disciples of the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
They can combine their attacks.
At the same time, it improves exponentially.
Soon both sides had completed their formations.
The energy that comes together from the Power of Origin.
A colorful phoenix with eight-colored rays formed in the air.
Now let's look at the Battle Heaven Pavilion.
The formation composed of thirty-six disciples condensed into a black Qilin.
The colorful phoenix spreads its wings, shaking the heavens!
The Qilin gallops, and the heavens are terrified!
Under their respective control.
The colorful phoenix and the qilin rushed towards each other at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, the two colossal energy beasts collided violently.
A fierce clash unfolded between the eight-colored light and the black light.
In their initial encounter, neither side could gain the upper hand.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans' expressions changed drastically upon witnessing this scene.
I thought the battle would be decided in an instant.
Thirty-six Ninth-Grade Heavenly Venerable fought against thirty-six Fifth-Grade Heavenly Venerable.
This should have been a battle with no suspense whatsoever.
Why has the current battle reached a stalemate?
The formation formed by Lin Heng and his disciples.
How could anyone possibly contend with the Power of Origin?
