The Death of Emperor Lin

The laser-based space-based weapons in Starlink are completely different from the conventional laser weapons that Yi Xuan had previously used.

Just like the laser weapons used in the Artifact Ruins.

Because the Cultivation Realm has convenient energy sources like Spirit Stone, Yi Xuan at that time had no intention of developing new energy sources.

This led to the use of Spirit Stone as a power source for laser emitters during that period.

However, even with Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, the maximum efficiency of the laser emitter is still limited.

Furthermore, the energy difficulties he faced upon entering the Eternal Sea forced Yi Xuan to focus on the energy sector as well.

With the successful development of nuclear energy, laser weapons have naturally undergone upgrades and replacements.

This led to the development of laser-based space-based weapons on Starlink.

Powered by cold nuclear fusion energy, these ultra-high-power laser emitters can deliver attacks that are in no way inferior to nuclear weapons.

In fact, compared to the two, the first strike of a laser-based space weapon would be far more powerful.

A single laser space-based weapon, operating at full power, can unleash an attack intensity that could even threaten a master at the Tribulation Transcendence Peak.

According to the test report given by No. 01, the effectiveness of laser space-based weapons at this stage is almost comparable to that of the Heavenly Tribulation faced by Bandit Cultivator.

In other words, at this moment, the Emperor Qing and the Emperor Lin were facing the same level of attack intensity as a dozen or so Bandit Cultivator undergoing Tribulation Transcendence together.

Even Mu Anqing and Fu Qianqiu, who were tens of thousands of meters in the air, had to squint when looking at the location hit by the laser through the Black Tortoise.

It's too bright!

The pillar of light reached the sky and was clearly visible even from tens of thousands of miles away.

Even many powerful Sea Clan who had already traveled far away stopped to watch at this scene.

Even though they were far enough away, the immense power emanating from that beam of light still made them shudder.

And they were also extremely relieved.

If I hadn't moved quickly, that terrifying attack might have struck me.

With my current strength, can I withstand that powerful attack?

Many Sea Emperor, the moment the idea crossed their minds, silently gave a negative answer.

Of course, these people are mostly those who are undergoing their first or second Heavenly Burial.

For them, Yi Xuan's laser-based space weapon was indeed too terrifying.

Even the Emperor Lin was in the same situation. If it weren't for the existence of the Emperor Qing, Yi Xuan believed that the Emperor Lin would have been absolutely dead!

The laser-based space weapon's attack did not last long!

This ultra-high-power laser emitter consumes an alarming amount of energy.

Even the well-established Arc Reactor cannot provide it with a stable energy source for an extended period of time.

Maintaining an attack of this magnitude for a dozen seconds without overloading is already the limit.

However, even after the laser attack ended, the oppressive atmosphere in the sky showed no signs of dissipating; instead, it became even more oppressive!

Under the high-temperature attack of the laser weapon, varying degrees of vaporization occurred within a kilometer radius of the Emperor Qing and the Emperor Lin.

The billowing steam gradually spread across the entire island, enveloping it in a scene resembling a fairyland.

Meanwhile, the Emperor Qing, located at the center of the steam, was looking up at the sky with a solemn expression!

Emperor Lin stood unharmed behind Emperor Qing, but he could tell from Emperor Qing's somewhat rapid breathing that Emperor Qing had not blocked the attack as easily as it seemed.

"Senior brother! You're injured?"

The Emperor Qing ignored Emperor Lin's concern and continued to stare intently at the sky, leaving Emperor Lin utterly perplexed.

"Senior brother! Wasn't the enemy's attack over? Why are you still...?"

Emperor Qing shook his head, his expression turning unfriendly as he looked at Emperor Lin: "Junior Brother Lin! That attack just now was nothing, but I can't guarantee I can protect you from the next one!"

How is that possible?

Emperor Lin looked at Emperor Qing in disbelief. "Even you, Senior Brother, aren't confident? Just what kind of being is that Human Clan brat?"

"Have no idea!"

Looking at the sky, Emperor Qing shook his head and said, "However, the opponent's attack method reminds me of a sect that disappeared many years ago!"

"Which faction?"

"High Antiquity Artifact Sect!"

"What? How could this be? Wasn't the High Antiquity Artifact Sect wiped out by a coalition of races because it wanted to overthrow the entire Cultivation Realm?"

At this point, Emperor Lin suddenly thought of something and excitedly said to Emperor Qing in front of him, "Senior brother, why don't we send a message to our master! Tell him that this kid is a remnant of the High Antiquity Artifact Sect! With our master's intervention, no matter how strange this kid's attacks are, he will surely die!"

"No! I can't let my dad know, or it'll be even more troublesome!"

"Can..."

Emperor Lin wanted to say something more, but when he opened his mouth, he only made a few "uh-uh" sounds, as if he had lost the ability to speak.

The Emperor Qing turned back and gave him a wry smile, then stretched out his hands toward the sky.

With his movements, a massive amount of True Essence surged out of his body, forming a solid protective shield of True Essence on the surface of his and Emperor Lin's bodies!

Emperor Lin naturally understood the meaning behind Emperor Qing's wry smile.

That expression was telling him, "Good luck!"

The mute-like voice that Emperor Lin had made earlier was not because there was anything wrong with his body.

Rather, the oppressive feeling from above was so strong that his body instinctively reacted with fear, most obviously manifested in his mouth trembling uncontrollably.

Emperor Lin was startled when he extended his Divine Sense. He saw a steel needle suddenly appear in the sky, tens of thousands of meters above the ground!

One! Two!

Hundreds of steel needles appeared simultaneously at an altitude of ten thousand meters, and these steel needles were pointed directly at the location where he and the Emperor Qing were.

Where are the steel needles?

Who has ever seen a steel needle that is nearly ten meters long?

Those are clearly steel bars!

It looks like a steel needle only because of the proportions.

Emperor Lin wanted to run away!

At this moment, he no longer cared about his senior brother!

In his view, the oppressive feeling emanating from the steel needle already demonstrated just how terrifying the thing's power was!

He couldn't think of any way to stop such an attack except to run away!

The confidence I had in my senior brother has vanished without a trace.

Emperor Qing did not turn around. In his Divine Sense, his junior brother had already escaped a hundred meters away in a flash! Even Emperor Qing's True Essence shield could not stop him.

But the steel needles high in the sky were even faster, and by now they were almost upon Emperor Qing's head.

Under such a deadly attack, and betrayed by his junior brother, most people would have collapsed long ago.

But Emperor Qing had a broad smile on his face!

Seeing the steel needles almost touching him, Emperor Qing suddenly formed a Law Seals.

Then, his figure strangely rippled slightly.

Then, the attack came.

The island was subjected to a violent shockwave from the attack of hundreds of space-based weapons.

In Yi Xuan's Divine Sense, the moment the space-based weapon descended.

Emperor Lin, who had already moved a hundred meters away, had actually switched places with Emperor Qing.

Before he could even form an expression, Emperor Lin vanished instantly under the attack of the space-based weapon!
