After Lin Heng dealt with eight powerful experts at the Heavenly Firmament Venerable Realm.
They then left the combat area.
They then went to the Eight Great Saint Emperors.
"The third battle is over. Shouldn't the eight Saint Emperor fulfill their promises now?"
As soon as Lin Heng uttered these words, the Eight Great Saint Emperors looked even more uncomfortable than if they had swallowed a fly.
They naturally understood what Lin Heng meant by his promise.
The eight of them were going to dig out one hundred earthworms from this spot by hand.
Afterwards, you have to swallow the earthworms you dug up on the spot.
How could they possibly do such a thing?
If they were to actually do that, then forget about the prestige of their Eight Great Saint Emperors.
Even the glory of the Eight Great Imperial Clans will be trampled on.
But it's impossible to deny it.
Ao Zhantian, Qin Hongmian, and the others watched intently from the sidelines.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor's eyes darted around.
He quickly came up with an excuse.
" Lin Heng, you must have used some external force."
"You absorbed the energy of eight Heavenly Firmament Venerable Realm experts, yet you're completely unharmed."
"This is absolutely impossible for you to do on your own."
Lin Heng was not surprised at all by these words.
He would find it strange if the Eight Great Saint Emperors actually went to dig for earthworms.
"Yeah?"
Lin Heng grinned, his eyebrows gradually lowering.
"If the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor doesn't believe it..."
"I wouldn't mind putting on a show here."
Everyone was curious about the meaning behind Lin Heng's words.
Is this a performance?
How to perform?
Lin Heng looked at the questioning gaze of the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor before him and said with a smile:
"If the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor is willing to not resist and allow me to devour your energy..."
"Wouldn't that verify whether I used external force?"
"If I could truly devour all of your Lightning Origin."
"And you, Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, still haven't sensed anything amiss."
"Wouldn't that reveal the answer?"
That's definitely a good idea.
Since the question was raised by the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor.
It would be most appropriate for him to verify it personally.
But after Lin Heng finished speaking...
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, however, chickened out.
Should Lin Heng devour his own essence?
Under normal circumstances, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor would likely show a mocking smile when faced with such a situation.
You think you can devour the origin of a Sovereign Realm like Heavenly Firmament Realm?
But when the speaker changed to Lin Heng...
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor had a completely different thought in his mind.
They verbally claimed that Lin Heng had cheated.
However, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor still harbored some concerns.
What if even I can't figure out how Lin Heng cheated?
Could it be that he really wants to devour all of his life essence?
For a moment, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor fell silent.
Lin Heng spoke up again at this moment.
"Whether I demonstrate it on the spot or not, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor needs to give me an answer."
"If you have no further questions, then we will fulfill our promise."
Hearing Lin Heng begin to urge them.
Fire Separation Saint Emperor and the others couldn't stand still any longer.
One by one, they stepped forward to persuade the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor.
"I think Lin Heng is just bluffing. Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, you should test his strength."
"Yes, with his mere Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm cultivation, how could he possibly devour the entire essence of eight Heavenly Firmament Venerable Realm, and yet he could withstand it? That's simply impossible."
" Lin Heng is definitely putting on a brave face right now, Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, we must not be fooled by him."
The seven Saint Emperor are clearly grasping at the last straw and making a fuss.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor understood this as well.
But would he agree?
You seven make it sound so easy!
Can you just try this out casually?
What if Lin Heng really Origin Devouring?
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor also glared at the seven people who were talking without any real understanding of the situation.
Then he looked at Lin Heng.
I was originally going to come up with some more excuses.
She could meet Lin Heng's indifferent gaze.
And there were also the menacing expressions of Ao Zhantian to the side.
Even at the very end, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor still didn't give a proper excuse.
Having come this far, how could Lin Heng and his group possibly back down?
As for using treasures as a substitute...
That's even more unrealistic.
Lin Heng really wanted cultivation resources and treasures.
That could have been brought up beforehand.
Why bring up such bizarre conditions when making a bet?
After all, putting yourself in someone else's shoes isn't hard to understand.
Today, the Eight Great Saint Emperors have truly switched sides with Lin Heng.
They would naturally be happy to see Lin Heng dig up earthworms and then eat them.
This bet will absolutely not be offset by anything else.
This is similar to being a billionaire.
Give him more money.
Do you think they'd care?
But you can see some strange and unusual things.
That would satisfy him.
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor was well aware of this.
After a moment of hesitation, he resolutely turned and walked towards the open space.
Fire Separation Saint Emperor and the others were somewhat puzzled.
" Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, what is this?"
The Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor turned around and glared fiercely at the seven people, shouting.
"What else can we do? Dig for earthworms."
Having said that, the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor strode to an open space not far away.
All eyes of the more than 100,000 people present were fixed on him.
Discussions rose and fell.
"Do you think this Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor is really going to bend over and dig for earthworms?"
"Otherwise what? He agreed to the bet himself, how could he go back on his word? Didn't you see Hall Master Ao and the others watching?"
"Hahaha! This trip was definitely worthwhile. To see the Eight Great Saint Emperors bending over to dig for earthworms is something I can brag about for the rest of my life."
"Tsk tsk! After today, the prestige of the Eight Great Saint Emperors will probably be completely ruined."
"From now on, if anyone in the Nine Heavens ever mentions the name 'Battle Heaven Pavilion,' it will forever be a huge boulder weighing down on the heads of the Eight Great Imperial Clans."
The Ascenders mocked them without restraint.
However, the sects belonging to the Eight Great Imperial Clans looked rather grim.
Who are the Eight Great Saint Emperors?
Those were top-tier figures in their respective factions.
He was practically a god-like figure.
Yet these eight godlike figures would actually do something so shameful.
The glorious image that the Eight Great Saint Emperors of the past cultivated in front of their subordinates.
It collapsed with a roar the moment the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor bent down first.
But unlike the Ascenders, who can speak their minds without restraint.
The cultivators from the forces belonging to the Eight Great Imperial Clans could only keep their pent-up frustration to themselves.
However, Good Avatar was not far away, noticed the expressions on these people's faces and guessed what they were thinking.
At that moment, Good Avatar couldn't help but smile.
"Indeed, I, the true master, see further."
"The matter of having the Eight Great Saint Emperors dig up earthworms and eat them."
"I initially thought it was just a whim of his."
"However, after this incident..."
"The morale of the forces under the command of the Eight Great Imperial Clans will surely be completely shattered."
"It seems that if Situ Jiannan were to try a little harder..."
"After today, the power of our Battle Heaven Pavilion will grow considerably stronger."
After he said that, Evil Avatar and Sun Yuan finally realized what was going on.
What Lin Heng previously seemed to be a casual trick was actually a performance.
Now it has become a deadly move to divide the forces under the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
