As Lin Heng and his two companions were sizing up the Three Umekawa Brothers.
The other party also carefully examined Lin Heng and his companions.
Meichuan Naizhao finally fixed his gaze on Lin Heng.
"You must be Lin Heng, the peerless genius who appeared out of nowhere in the Nine Heavens, as mentioned by the Fire Separation Saint Emperor?"
Lin Heng did not deny it, and nodded in acknowledgment.
Meichuan Naizhao chuckled softly, his gaze towards Lin Heng carrying a hint of admiration.
"In just a few decades, he was able to break through from the Nirvana Realm to the Sovereign Tenth Grade."
"Such talent is truly the most I have ever seen in my life."
"As far as I know, the original powerhouses of the Nine Heavens should not have possessed the strength to break through our clan's ancient formation."
"So it was you who broke through the great formation?"
Meichuan Naizhao didn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move, his face showing a very relaxed and content expression.
His appearance didn't seem like he was deliberately stalling for time.
It's more like he has plenty of confidence in the battle ahead.
They just wanted to kill Lin Heng and the other two before that.
It's just about clarifying some doubts in my mind.
Since the other party wasn't in a hurry, Lin Heng naturally didn't show any urgency either. Instead, he secretly used his Divine Power to probe the other party's strength.
When faced with Meichuan Naizhao's question, Lin Heng simply responded with a nod or a shake of his head.
After Meichuan Naizhao asked more than a dozen questions.
He suddenly narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Heng.
" Lin Heng, just promise us one thing."
"Then my clan can help you break through to the Cosmic Spirit Realm within ten years, how about it?"
Lin Heng saw right through the other party's intentions.
"You want me to go to the Upper Realm?"
"Find an opportunity to break the seal on your realm."
"In the future, you will also be able to break through and ascend to the upper realms, am I right?"
Meichuan Naizhao smiled.
"It's a very pleasant experience to talk to intelligent people."
"And I can agree to that."
"If you agree to my conditions, we will no longer invade Nine Heavens."
The conditions set by Meichuan Naizhao made Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Ao Zhantian ponder deeply.
These three men truly swore an oath that foreign invaders would never again invade the Nine Heavens.
Then the safety of the Nine Heavens would naturally be guaranteed.
And this was all done without bloodshed.
After all, if war really breaks out, no one knows how many people will die or be injured.
However, Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Ao Zhantian were clearly hesitant.
Lin Heng, however, directly saw through the conspiracy in the other party's words with a smile.
"Your guarantee may only hold true if the three of you remain in this realm."
"If I really agree to your request."
"Once the spatial passage opens one day, you will be able to ascend to the upper realm very quickly."
"Can your descendants guarantee they won't invade the Nine Heavens?"
Ultimately, the barrenness of the alien races cannot be changed, so their ambition for the Nine Heavens will not disappear.
Lin Heng succinctly pointed out the problem in the other party's words, which caused killing intent to resurface in the eyes of Ao Zhantian and Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor.
Seeing the negotiations crumble, Meichuan Naizhao's smiling face instantly turned cold.
" Lin Heng, since you are so stubborn..."
"Then I will kill you right here today."
"Even without your help, when we conquer the Nine Heavens one day, we can still ascend through the Nine Heavens ' passage."
Enraged, Meichuan Naizhao also shouted angrily.
But his angry expression betrayed a different story than he made up.
Lin Heng gave a sarcastic smile in response to Meichuan Naizhao's angry roar.
Why did the upper realm seal off the space of the alien races?
Naturally, they did not want their alien race to ascend.
Even if alien races ascend to the upper realm through the passage of the Nine Heavens.
He will likely only end up being executed.
Meichuan Naizhao instructed Lin Heng to go to the Upper Realm to break the seal.
In reality, he saw Lin Heng's potential and future prospects.
The power of a being capable of closing off spatial channels is unimaginable.
If Lin Heng wants to break the seal, he needs to be at least close to that level.
If one day Lin Heng truly reaches that level...
He opened a sealed passage for the alien race.
In this way, it will be safe for the alien races to ascend to the upper realm.
Unfortunately, Lin Heng saw through his plan, which made him furious.
"Brother, why waste so much time talking to these people?"
"Just kill them."
A murderous glint flashed in Meichuan Siwa's eyes; he was already impatient to make his move.
The dwarf man, Meichuan Qiuku, was also eager to get started.
"The cultivators from the Nine Heavens have already begun attacking our clan's younger generation."
"If we deal with them sooner, we can also eliminate the other cultivators from the Nine Heavens."
Faced with his two younger brothers' suggestion, Meichuan Naizhao also gave Lin Heng an ultimatum.
" Lin Heng, I'll ask you one more time."
"If you agree to cooperate with us, I guarantee you'll ascend to immortality within ten years."
"If you do not agree, I will not only kill you today, but also imprison your soul within my clan for eternity, subjecting your spirit to endless torment."
Meichuan Naizhao's words were no simple threat; one could tell from his chilling eyes.
This guy not only talks the talk, he walks the walk.
Lin Heng didn't say anything more. He raised his right hand, grabbed at the air, and the divine weapon Eternal Ages was instantly in his hand.
Seeing this, the Three Umekawa Brothers understood Lin Heng's determination.
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish."
As soon as Meichuan Naizhao finished speaking, the six people in the room set off simultaneously.
Lin Heng and Meichuan Naizhao rushed towards each other at almost the same time.
Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor and Meichuan Siwa flew to the left.
Ao Zhantian and Meichuan Qiuku flew to the right.
When powerful individuals at this level clash, even the aftershocks of their attacks are terrifying.
If the battlefield is not separated.
Even the aftermath of a battle can affect those fighting nearby.
As Lin Heng charged forward, wielding the Eternal Ages Sword.
Meichuan Naizhao also flipped his hand and took out a weapon that was entirely black and resembled a samurai sword.
This is precisely Meichuan Naizhao's strongest weapon— Autumn Water.
Eternal Ages and Autumn Water clashed violently as the two swung their weapons.
A crisp "bang" rang out at the point of impact, and the powerful impact sent Lin Heng and Meichuan Naizhao flying backward simultaneously.
In mid-air, Lin Heng was thrown back seven or eight hundred meters by the force of the impact.
In contrast, Meichuan Naizhao regained his footing after being knocked back 500 meters.
In their initial exchange, Meichuan Naizhao gained a slight advantage.
However, this scene did not bring joy to Meichuan Naizhao.
Instead, he looked worried.
" Lin Heng is clearly only at the Sovereign Tenth Grade realm."
"But how was he able to withstand an attack with 70% of my strength?"
Meichuan Naizhao Zhao was quite shocked.
Under normal circumstances, even Twelfth Grade Sovereign would be severely injured and cough up blood after taking that attack.
Lin Heng also stared at Meichuan Naizhao with a solemn expression.
"As expected of a powerhouse with one foot in the Cosmic Spirit Realm."
"I used half my strength but still lost."
"However, this guy is a good practice subject."
"A battle with him would likely allow me to achieve another breakthrough."
Both sides had their own agendas, but the only thing they had in common was their recognition of each other's strength.
