Ji Bowen’s roar still echoed through the night as Lin Xun’s true body descended before him. His eyes were bloodshot, filled with an ice-cold, berserk killing intent that seemed capable of freezing the soul.

In that instant, the frenzied Ji Bowen felt as though he had been plunged into an icy abyss. An overwhelming sense of danger drowned his mind. The murderous intent pouring from Lin Xun was so dense it nearly crushed his consciousness...

Just then...a terrifying aura descended from above, tearing through the night sky. In that instant, an indescribable pressure blanketed heaven and earth, silencing the void itself.

However, even faster than that suffocating presence was a palm seal that condensed out of thin air. It was clear and translucent, as though carved from flawless crystal glass. It interposed itself before Ji Bowen and slammed violently toward Lin Xun.

Boom!

The palm seal blazed with resplendent law power, vast and majestic, like the hand of the heavens themselves. The aura it unleashed far surpassed the bounds of the Law Transcendence Realm.

However, Lin Xun neither dodged nor retreated. In a flash, billions of sword qi surged forth before him, weaving together into a vast sword formation that collided head-on with the glass-like palm.

Boom—

Sword and palm collided. The surrounding void collapsed instantly, swallowed by a raging storm of destructive force. The glass-like palm shattered into countless fragments, scattering like crystal rain, while Lin Xun’s sword formation also dissipated into nothingness.

Though uninjured, his forward momentum was momentarily halted. In that brief instant, Ji Bowen seized the chance to flee, retreating far into the distance.

“Lin Xun...In just a few short years, he has leaped from the Heavenly Longevity Immortal Stage all the way to the pinnacle of the Law Transcendence Eternal Realm!” An authoritative voice rang out, laced with unmistakable shock.

As the void fell, a tall and imposing figure appeared out of thin air. He wore a feathered robe and exuded an otherworldly elegance. At first glance, he looked like a young man, but when his eyes opened, they revealed the weight of endless ages.

Ji Guiling! He was an initial Creation Eternal Stage figure of the Ji Clan.

The moment he appeared, Ji Bowen’s eyes lit up as if he had seized a final lifeline. “Old Ancestor!” he hissed urgently. “This scoundrel killed Changyun and Changshan. Please take action and capture him!”

“Rest assured,” Ji Guiling said coldly, “he will not escape.”

A murderous glint flickered between his brows. “What I don’t understand is why Brother Guizhen has not returned from the Eternal True Realm.”

Ji Guizhen, one of the Ji Clan’s Creation Realm Eternals, had gone to the Eternal True Realm to deal with Lin Xun. However, now, Lin Xun stood before them, while Ji Guizhen was nowhere to be seen. Most importantly, Ji Guizhen was Ji Guiling’s elder brother!

“Are you talking about him?”

Lin Xun raised his hand. Ji Guizhen’s primordial spirit appeared within his grasp, imprisoned and barely clinging to life. His bloodshot eyes gleamed with a terrifying, icy intent.

Ji Guiling and Ji Bowen’s expressions changed simultaneously and disbelief filled their faces. How could Ji Guizhen, an intermediate Creation Eternal, have been captured by Lin Xun?

“Release my clan brother! Now! Otherwise, you will die here today!” Ji Guiling thundered, his face dark with fury.

Lin Xun casually stowed away Ji Guizhen’s primordial spirit and said indifferently, “Do you really think I, Lin Xun, would fear such a threat?”

The murderous intent around him surged like a raging ocean. “But rest assured, I won’t kill Ji Guizhen just yet. I’ll let you taste what it means to be coerced through a hostage.” As Lin Xun spoke, he took a step forward.

Boom!

The heavens and earth shook as a sword qi, vast as a celestial river, burst forth, streaking across the sky. Wrapped in obscure and profound law power, it cleaved straight toward Ji Guiling. At the same time, the Green Wood Dao Body acted in perfect harmony, wielding the power of the Absolute Beginning Law to form a pincer attack with his true body.

“You’re courting death!” Ji Guiling roared in fury.

Clang!

He reached into the void and grasped. Instantly, a golden battle blade condensed in his hand, forged entirely from Divine Rank law. With a furious swing, he slashed it through the air.

Golden blade qi howled across the heavens, exuding an earth-shattering killing intent. This was the might of the Creation Realm. With the Divine Rank law wielded as a weapon, its unleashed force tore straight through the sky.

The great battle erupted at once. Fury blazed in Ji Guiling as he fought with everything he had. Compared to him, Lin Xun was even more enraged. His strikes were merciless and his killing intent unrestrained.

Rumble!

Heaven and earth were overturned, and the sun and moon dimmed. Back in the Eternal True Realm, when Lin Xun faced Ji Guizhen, an intermediate Creation Eternal, he already crushed him with the power of his true body alone. Now, with both his true body and the Green Wood Dao Body unleashed, how could Ji Guiling possibly endure?

In less than a blink, Ji Guiling was injured and coughing up blood, forcibly suppressed beneath Lin Xun’s unmatched ferocity.

Ji Bowen’s eyes nearly split apart in shock, a bone-deep chill flooding his body. No matter how hard he tried, he could not imagine how Lin Xun, a perfect Law Transcendence Eternal, could be so heaven-defyingly powerful.

He was crossing an entire major realm to suppress a Creation Eternal Stage existence! Who would dare believe such a thing?

“This beast is running rampant! Attack together.”

“Agreed.”

Two voices suddenly rang out between heaven and earth, one deep and weighty as iron, the other hoarse and ethereal. Before the echoes had even faded, two godlike figures had already appeared out of thin air, charging straight into the battlefield.

One was an elderly man with refined features who was clad in a purple robe and jade belt, a crown upon his head. The law power radiating from him manifested as a shimmering silver phantom world, exuding terrifying might.

Ji Chaoyin! He was an advanced Creation Eternal! Among the Ji Clan’s four Creation Eternal Stage experts, he possessed the deepest foundation and the most terrifying combat strength.

The other was a beautiful woman draped in flowing, multicolored robes, her expression calm as still water and cold as ice. Before her, tens of thousands of emerald sword qi condensed as green radiance surged forth to blanket the sky.

Ji Haiwen! She was an intermediate Creation Eternal and the only woman among the Ji Clan’s Creation Realm experts.

The moment they appeared, the two charged straight into the battle. Ji Chaoyin unleashed supreme divine arts, commanding the laws of wind, lightning, earth, and fire as boundless might erupted forth. Ji Haiwen’s sword intent soared skyward and emerald radiance cascaded like celestial waterfalls, fierce, unrestrained and violent. She was like an unrivalled sword god on the Eternal Path.

With their arrival, the situation shifted at once. Lin Xun and the Green Wood Dao Body found their advance checked and were forced into a besieged position.

At the same time, eight Law Transcendence Eternal experts swept out, sealing every direction and cutting off every escape route. Each of them wielded might capable of disrupting the heavens!

At this sight, Ji Bowen finally felt a weight lift from his heart. With all of the Ji Clan’s Eternals mobilized, how could Lin Xun possibly escape death?

“Elders, if we capture and slay this beast, the fate of our clan will be rewritten tonight!” Ji Bowen roared, his voice shaking the heavens.

The great battle erupted in full force. Waves of divine light and dao radiance surged wildly, wreaking havoc as clouds collapsed and the sky itself split apart. Across the entire Fengqi Sacred Mountain, thunderous explosions resounded without pause, shaking the heaven and earth.

If not for the Ji Clan being shrouded by more than one Divine Rank law, that torrent of power alone would have provoked a catastrophic backlash from the laws of heaven and earth! In addition, the billions of living beings in this world would inevitably have suffered calamity.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

The three Creation Eternals, Ji Guiling, Ji Chaoyin, and Ji Haiwen, were each terrifyingly formidable. Their killing intent soared into the heavens as they unleashed their most powerful divine abilities.

Lin Xun was overwhelmed by their combined assault, crushing pressure bearing down on him from all directions. Despite that, he did not retreat.

On the contrary, his rage and hatred only made his battle will and killing intent boil over. Dao light thundered violently from him, at times like an abyss swallowing the heavens, and at others like a blazing furnace suppressing the world itself.

“Rise!”

With a thought, Lin Xun summoned the three dao bodies, Red Flame, White Metal, and Yellow Earth. They burst forth with thunderous force, charging into battle alongside his true body and the Green Wood Dao Body.

At the same time, Lin Xun summoned the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. In the hands of his four dao bodies, each wielded a clan-protecting dao weapon of unfathomable power: the Taihao Clan’s treasured Light-Chasing Myriad Gods Spear, the Jue Clan’s Furnace of Chaotic Times, the Wen Clan’s Primal Chaos Seal of Infinite Forms and the Yuan Clan’s Azure-Gold Heaven-Transforming Sword.

These clan-protecting treasures far surpassed ordinary Eternal weapons, and each possessed a radiant past and battle records worthy of song and legend. Otherwise, they would never have been kept and treasured by Lin Xun.

Now, all of these Eternal weapons were put to use! Even so, Lin Xun’s could only barely contend with the three Creation Eternal beings.

Taking them down was no simple task, nor something that could be accomplished in a short time. The reason lay with Ji Chaoyin, an advanced Creation Eternal whose strength was on an entirely different level from Ji Haiwen and Ji Guiling.

Just dealing with Ji Chaoyin’s attacks was enough to restrain Lin Xun’s true body and two dao bodies. One could imagine just how monstrously powerful an advanced Creation Eternal truly was.

However, none of this mattered to Lin Xun! The wrath and hatred surging in his chest needed an outlet!

Even when he once swept through the twelve Eternal Divine Clans of the Ninth Heaven Domain, he had never burned with such fury. Zhao Jingxuan’s anxious, bewildered gaze and the blood-drenched scenes of Lin Fan and Su Bai’s cruel torment pierced his heart again and again, making it tremble violently.

Die!

At this moment, Lin Xun was no different from a madman. He held nothing back, releasing everything to the utmost, indulging fully in slaughter, and unleashing his strength in an unprecedented display.

Rumble—

The world seemed to have transformed into primordial chaos, on the verge of total collapse. Destructive torrents of the great dao surged and swept across heaven and earth, presenting an apocalyptic scene that struck terror into the heart.

“How could this boy be so powerful?”

“Across all the epochal civilizations of the Fortune Dominion, where could another Eternal like this possibly be found?”

“How is this possible...”

Ji Bowen and the other Law Transcendence Eternal were completely dumbstruck. They had believed that with three Creation Eternal ancestors taking action, capturing Lin Xun would be as easy as turning over a hand.

However, who could have imagined that Lin Xun could actually fight the three Creation Eternal ancestors to a stalemate!

Their expectations were utterly overturned, their judgments completely shattered. They stood dumbfounded. Having lived for countless ages, they had never once witnessed such a scene.

In addition, it wasn’t just them. Even Ji Chaoyin, Ji Haiwen, and Ji Guiling, who were locked in fierce combat with Lin Xun, could no longer maintain their composure. One by one, shock and disbelief crept into their expressions.

One must know that with Creation Realm might, they could casually suppress and slaughter Law Transcendence Eternals. Despite that, before Lin Xun, that advantage simply ceased to exist. This alone was already unfathomable.

What they found even harder to accept was that as the battle dragged on, Lin Xun’s aura continued to climb and his power grew increasingly ferocious. Even they began to feel its oppressive weight. If any other Eternal beings were to witness this scene, who could possibly believe it?

“We can’t hesitate any longer! Activate the trump cards! Now!”

At last, Ji Chaoyin could restrain himself no longer. He let out a thunderous roar, murderous intent surging wildly in his eyes. Lin Xun’s heaven-defying, unfathomable combat power had already posed a grave threat, even to him!
