A preliminary, tentative exchange between Yan Juantian and Evil Avatar.
Both of them already knew each other's approximate strength.
Yan Juantian sighed inwardly, knowing that he was doomed to die today. He simply abandoned his fear and spoke to the Evil Avatar.
"It was indeed a mistake on our part to allow Lin Heng to grow to such a level and establish such a powerful Battle Heaven Pavilion right under the noses of our Eight Great Imperial Clans."
"Back when Lin Heng first showed his talent, only Ao Zhantian was willing to protect him."
"If the Eight Great Imperial Clans had united back then, they wouldn't be in this predicament now."
Yan Juantian was furious, all because of a wrong decision, but by the time the Eight Great Imperial Clans realized what had happened, it was too late.
In just a few decades, for Yan Juantian, who has lived for countless years, such a time seems like yesterday.
Yet, this seemingly insignificant period of time in the Nine Heavens gave rise to the formidable Lin Heng and the powerful Battle Heaven Pavilion.
The Evil Avatar scoffed at this and responded with a mocking laugh, its head held high.
"In the end, it's just that your Eight Great Imperial Clans aren't united enough."
"You probably never imagined that an insignificant being who has just ascended to the Nine Heavens would, in just a few decades, possess the power to oppress your Eight Great Imperial Clans."
Evil Avatar had heard the story of Lin Heng's initial ascension to the Nine Heavens from Situ Jiannan.
At that time, Lin Heng had already begun to provoke the authority of the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
However, the Eight Great Imperial Clans didn't take Lin Heng seriously at all.
However, at that time, among the Ascenders, only Ao Zhantian was truly willing to protect Lin Heng.
As for Qin Hongmian and the others, they only gradually chose to help Lin Heng after he later displayed terrifying talent.
It could be said that if the Eight Great Imperial Clans had been more united and taken a stronger stance, even the Ao Zhantian would not have been able to protect Lin Heng.
But there are no "ifs" or "buts" in this world.
The undeniable fact is that Lin Heng has indeed grown up.
Although he has not yet reached the pinnacle of existence in the Nine Heavens.
This had already made all Eight Great Saint Emperors feel threatened.
The Battle Heaven Pavilion under its command is so powerful that none of the Eight Great Imperial Clans could possibly stand against it alone.
Yan Juantian gave a bitter laugh and lowered his head helplessly.
A few seconds later, Yan Juantian raised his head again, his eyes revealing a resolute determination.
"It's too late for regrets, and there's no point in saying anything more."
"But I can no longer see the final outcome."
At this point, Yan Juantian raised his flaming longsword once more.
A surge of fighting spirit erupted from Yan Juantian.
The fighting spirit surged towards the Evil Avatar like waves, one after another.
Faced with the powerful battle intent of the Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm, the Evil Avatar remained as imposing as a towering mountain, completely unaffected.
"I originally thought that all Fire Clan were cowards who clung to life."
"I didn't expect you to have the audacity to unleash your fighting spirit, knowing the gap between us."
"For this reason alone, I have decided to end your life with the highest honor a monk can attain."
As soon as the Evil Avatar finished speaking, a slender, jet-black longsword that constantly emitted a ghostly light appeared in his hand.
'roar!'
As the longsword with its eerie glow appeared, an angry roar of a beast emanated from within its blade.
" The Nirvana Spirit Treasure?"
Yan Juantian stared at the long sword in Evil Avatar, his pupils contracting sharply.
Evil Avatar smiled slightly, offering no explanation, but his smile already answered Yan Juantian's guess.
For countless years, this Nirvana Spirit Treasure should have been possessed only by experts at the Sovereign Realm.
Lin Heng's Evil Avatar, which is currently only at the Heavenly Firmament Realm, has been refined.
This should have been a major mystery.
Yan Juantian didn't bother to find out why the Evil Avatar possessed the Nirvana Spirit Treasure.
All that remained in his eyes was gratitude.
Yes, facing this man who was about to end his life.
A look of gratitude appeared in Yan Juantian's eyes.
He knew very well that with his Evil Avatar's strength, he wouldn't have needed to use the Nirvana Spirit Treasure to easily kill him.
But the Evil Avatar still unleashed its strongest weapon.
This is the greatest respect you can show to yourself.
Just as the Evil Avatar said, he would use the highest etiquette among cultivators and the strongest attack to end this battle and his own life.
Thank you!
Yan Juantian solemnly expressed his gratitude.
"Bring it on!"
The Evil Avatar raised the Nirvana Spirit Treasure in his hand, pointing the sword tip at Yan Juantian and shouting fiercely.
The next second, the two of them rushed towards each other at top speed.
In the blink of an eye, the two passed each other.
The dim light and the firelight, which originally each occupied half of the sky.
After the two figures shifted and unleashed a thunderous attack, the two overwhelming beams of light gradually dissipated.
'Bang!'
Yan Juantian remained standing, but the flaming longsword in his hand snapped in two.
Slowly, with a deathly smile, Yan Juantian closed his eyes.
To die in such a manner, he could surely rest in peace with a smile.
Meanwhile, the powerful members of the Fire Clan were all stunned by the terrifying combat power displayed by the Evil Avatar.
A powerful expert at the Heavenly Firmament Emperor Realm was instantly killed before he could even withstand a single move from the Evil Avatar.
Is this the power of Lin Heng's clone?
Just how powerful must he be?
After killing Yan Juantian, the Evil Avatar immediately turned its sword towards Yan Jiuyin and the others.
I'll only say it once.
"Those who surrender shall swear allegiance; those who resist shall be killed without mercy!"
The icy voice of the Evil Avatar fell into the ears of the Fire Clan's powerful members, and at this moment, none of them had the slightest thought of resisting.
"I, Yan Jiuyin, hereby swear that I will serve the Battle Heaven Pavilion and Pavilion Master Lin Heng for the rest of my life. If I break this oath, may Heaven and Earth punish me."
Yan Jiuyin, currently the strongest among the Fire Clan's Third Heaven, took the lead in making an oath.
Following closely behind, the other powerful members of the Fire Clan who stood behind him knelt down and swore an oath.
In less than half a minute, all the powerful Fire Clan members from the Third Heaven present swore allegiance.
This scene caused the various sects watching from afar to shake their heads in disbelief.
"Who would have thought that the Fire Clan, who have dominated the Nine Heavens for so many years, would have such a day?"
"If all these people had died in this battle, the Fire Clan could have retained a good reputation. But unexpectedly, these people swore allegiance, and now the Fire Clan has completely lost face."
"In the end, it was all Fire Separation Saint Emperor's own doing. The battle for the survival of the Battle Heaven Pavilion, with the Eight Great Saint Emperors digging up and eating earthworms, had already made them a laughing stock. Then Fire Separation Saint Emperor turned against the previous Fire Ghost Clan Chief, leading to this situation, which chilled the hearts of the Fire Clan members."
" The Fire Clan may only be the beginning. With this beginning, what will become of the other seven royal clans in the future?"
"It must be said that Battle Heaven Pavilion's move was truly brilliant. Slaughtering all the Fire Clan members would be an easy task for them, but making them swear allegiance is definitely a major trump card to suppress the Eight Great Imperial Clans."
Some people have already seen through Situ Jiannan's intentions.
Taking in these Fire Clan members is indeed of little use.
But today's events are a devastating blow to the Eight Great Imperial Clans families from within.
This is also a crucial killing move that Battle Heaven Pavilion has laid out against the Eight Great Imperial Clans.
