Arc 30The Forbidden Ground
After breaking the Fire Clan’s resistance and helping the Fire Separation Saint Emperor reconcile with his people, Lin Heng entered the forbidden ground to confront the Thought Avatars. He freed the Thunder Punishment and Wood Clan Saint Emperors, gained the Avatars of Desire and Evil, and began a dangerous contest with Wrath while the Metal Clan Saint Emperor moved to kill him.
- Ao Zhantian warned the Fire Separation Saint Emperor not to interfere, while Battle Heaven Pavilion forces routed the Fire Clan and besieged its Heavenly Origin Fire Prison.
- Situ Jiannan’s forces shattered the prison’s formation, and Yan Juantian resisted surrender until Lin Heng’s Evil Avatar killed him and Yan Jiuyin led the Fire Clan experts in swearing allegiance.
- The Fire Separation Saint Emperor apologized to the surrendered Fire Clan members, persuaded many to return, and broke through after admitting his mistakes.
- Ao Zhantian told Lin Heng about the forbidden ground and the returning foreign tribes, while Dijiang explained that the ground held the Thought Avatars of Mu Chen’s emotions and desires.
- Lin Heng entered the forbidden ground alone, overcame the Thought Avatar of Desire controlling the Thunder Punishment Saint Emperor, and sent the freed Saint Emperor outside.
- Lin Heng freed the Wood Clan Saint Emperor from the Thought Avatar of Evil, absorbed its mental power, and trapped the Saint Emperor in his mental world before releasing her.
- Lin Heng challenged the Thought Avatar of Wrath, trapped it and freed the Metal Clan Saint Emperor, then provoked Wrath by saying Mu Chen had sent him.
- Wrath entered Lin Heng’s mental world and offered to help kill the Metal Clan Saint Emperor in exchange for Lin Heng’s body, while Lin Heng attacked Wrath and the Saint Emperor prepared to kill Lin Heng.
