A Gift for You!

"Rumble!!!"

A succession of thunderous crashes came from below.

The beings of the Witch Clan and the Demon Race unleashed their deadliest moves, every blow aimed to kill. The earth shook and the mountains trembled as they fought, fierce winds roared, and heaven and earth changed color.

Even so, neither side had managed to gain the upper hand.

Yet above their great battle, a tranquil cloud hung in the sky.

Standing upon it were Lin Yunji and Lady Nüwa. They stood side by side, their white robes entwined, like an immortal couple.

"Lady Nüwa, I'll give you a gift in a moment!"

Thinking of how three Heavenly Scar Fragments in a row had all been connected to Nüwa, Lin Yunji felt that she was like a lucky star to him. Naturally, he wanted to keep her happy. For the moment, he cherished her greatly, so he turned his head slightly and smiled at her.

"Whoosh!"

Without waiting for Nüwa's reply, Lin Yunji sprang into motion and transformed into a streak of rainbow light, flying straight toward the battlefield.

"A gift?"

Nüwa was taken aback, then couldn't help laughing. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as though they held starlight, and she began to look forward to the gift Lin Yunji had just mentioned.

"Boom!"

By then, Lin Yunji had come to a stop on the battlefield.

No longer deliberately concealing himself, he released the full force of his presence.

In an instant, a terrifying presence spread out. The beings of both sides, who had just been fighting, froze where they stood and looked warily at Lin Yunji, their gazes full of apprehension.

The presence Lin Yunji now gave off was far too terrifying. It carried a sense of ancient, pure power, like a ferocious beast from the High Antiquity. Never in their lives had they encountered such a powerful being!

He was unbelievably powerful!

After all, although Lin Yunji was only at the Taiyi Mid-stage Golden Immortal realm, the strength of his Law Power was comparable to that displayed by a cultivator at Taiyi Golden Immortal Great Perfection. Naturally, the beings of the two sides, who had only reached the Golden Immortal realm, could not compare!

Thus, they all stared at Lin Yunji without making any other move.

Even the Witch Clan warriors, who cultivated strength and were brave and eager for battle, merely stared at him with deep apprehension, not daring to act rashly.

For a moment, the cultivators of both sides seemed to have reached an agreement: none spoke or moved, and the scene fell utterly silent.

Both sides were not only wary of Lin Yunji; they were even more afraid that if they spoke first and caused the situation to spiral out of control, the other side would reap the benefits!

"It's him!"

To the Witch Clan warriors' surprise, however, when the most powerful member of the Demon Race, a black bear demon, saw clearly that it was Lin Yunji, his pupils contracted in shock.

He had already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal Great Perfection realm!

Something else seemed to flicker in his frightened gaze, but after struggling with himself, the bear demon recalled his Law Treasure and said directly to the assembled demons, "We're leaving!"

Though the demons were puzzled and deeply unwilling, not one of them objected. They answered in unison, "Yes!"

Then, with a wave of the black bear demon's hand, the assembled demons transformed in unison into streaks of light and flew off in the opposite direction.

They did not so much as glance at the three-colored divine spring they had just been fighting over!

They seemed so wary of Lin Yunji that they did not even have the courage to ask a question. It looked more like they were slinking away with their tails between their legs!

Seeing this, Lin Yunji laughed inwardly. He was happy to see the Demon Race leave, and naturally had no intention of stopping them.

After all, Lin Yunji's goal was the three-colored divine spring and the Heavenly Scar Fragment within it!

He had no desire to stir up trouble for no reason. Otherwise, who knew what the system might detect and dump a heap of Cultivation Points on him? If he accidentally broke through again, wouldn't he be furious enough to die!

Besides, that was only a demon at the Golden Immortal Great Perfection realm. He paid him no mind at all!

"Whoosh!"

Once the demons had flown so far away that not even their shadows could be seen, Lin Yunji did not so much as look at the Witch Clan warriors. Instead, he sprang into motion and landed beside the three-colored divine spring, preparing to take the spring and the Heavenly Scar Fragment within it.

This action enraged the Witch Clan warriors who were still watching!

Lin Yunji's actions showed that he had no regard for them whatsoever!

After all, they were one of the only two great powers in the Primordial Wilderness! Besides, they had always been known for their bravery, eagerness for battle, and boundless strength. When had other beings ever looked down on them like this?

"Who exactly are you?! Could you give us your name?" At last, one Witch-Demon warrior could no longer endure it and shouted.

"How dare you humiliate us like this! You want to take the divine spring without saying a single word! What do you take us for, brat?!"

"Witch-Demon warriors never bow their heads to any being!"

"We stand with our heads against the heavens and walk with our feet upon the earth! We fear neither heaven and earth nor hardship and danger. We fear nothing, so how could we fear you?!"

"None of us cling to life or fear death. How could we shrink back when we're being humiliated to our faces?!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!!"

"Fight!!!"

"..."

For a moment, cries for battle thundered in their ears.

Once the first stepped forward, a second followed. In a chain reaction, nearly all the Witch-Demon warriors advanced, casting aside their earlier apprehension of Lin Yunji and raising their fighting spirit, ready to battle him.

They were worthy of being called Witch Clan warriors!

Even though they knew full well that they had no chance of victory against Lin Yunji, that they did not even have the strength to fight him, they still chose to face the challenge head-on!

It was as though, to them, dying in battle was the greatest honor!

"You're actually seeking your own deaths?" Lin Yunji raised an eyebrow, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather.

Life and death sounded like a matter of no consequence when spoken of by him.

But along with those words, a terrifying presence swept outward, and killing intent quietly stretched toward the demon warriors.

It wasn't because he was kind or sought to avoid killing that he had refrained from attacking.

It was simply because he felt there was no need to do more than necessary in matters that didn't concern him!

Besides, he wasn't a murderous maniac who took pleasure in killing. There was simply no need to lay a hand on these beings.

But if these Witch Clan warriors insisted on standing in his way...

"You!"

The Witch Clan warriors were clearly enraged. Though the gap in strength was obvious, with anger fueling them, how could they still give it so much thought?

A clash between the two sides was imminent!

A great battle was about to begin!

"Young friend Yunji, please show mercy!"

Just then, a pleasant voice rang out, sounding anxious.

"Whoosh!"

A breathtakingly beautiful figure on a nearby mountain peak transformed into a streak of light and sped over.
