On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

Suddenly, a loud clap of thunder sounded in the sky.

Upon seeing this, Sima Changchao's expression immediately changed, his previous look of shock instantly replaced by arrogance.

Lin Xuan felt a surge of power from heaven and earth gathering in the sky, as if it were about to burst forth at any moment.

Lan Zhantian and Qingfeng both turned grim upon seeing this, for this power far surpassed their own half-immortal realm strength.

This means that the source of this power is probably a powerful being in the True Immortal realm.

"Everyone back off, all of you hide behind me."

Qingfeng stood at the very front of the Dongzhou team, protecting the entire team behind him.

Everyone in Dongzhou was very obedient and hid behind Qingfeng. At this moment, their fate was entirely in Lin Xuan's hands.

If Lin Xuan cannot solve the problem at hand, then they will all suffer.

Lan Zhantian then fixed his gaze on the purple-clad sword emperor and the towering giant.

"Ancestor, save me!"

Sima Changchao looked up at the sky and shouted again.

Amidst the raging thunder, a burly figure slowly emerged, bathed in the lightning. Each step he took created purple lightning lotuses, as if a thunder god had descended from the heavens.

"Oh no! This is Sima Benlei of the Sima family. He broke through to the True Immortal Realm eight hundred years ago and is known as the Purple Thunder True Immortal!"

Xu Zilin looked at the burly man in the sky and said with a grim expression.

Lin Fan and the others looked at Sima Benlei with curiosity. This was the first time they had ever seen a true immortal, but they never expected it to be in such a scene.

"Ancestor, it's him, this damned ant from the Eastern Continent!"

Sima Changchao saw Sima Benlei as if he had grasped a lifeline, and immediately hid next to Sima Benlei.

Sima Benlei looked at Sima Changchao with a slight frown. This was the first time Sima Benlei had seen his young clan leader in such a sorry state, all thanks to this wild immortal from the Eastern Continent. It was quite interesting.

"Young clan leader, please step aside and leave the scene to me."

Sima Benlei spoke calmly.

Sima Changchao did not refute, but immediately hid behind. The Purple-Clad Sword Emperor and the Iron Tower Giant also immediately hid.

However, Mu Qianxue and Elder Tianma Xiang were still imprisoned by Lin Xuan. One was imprisoned under the Shura Sky Curtain, and the other was imprisoned in the Three Thousand Floating Pagoda.

"Hehe, may I ask who you are?"

Although Sima Benlei cultivates thunder magic and has a rough name, his style of doing things is quite steady.

Although Lin Xuan was facing a genuine True Immortal Realm expert, he remained calm and composed.

"I come from the Eastern Continent to participate in the Thousand Pride Tournament in the Divine Continent."

"Lin Xuan, the patriarch of the Lin Clan of Dongzhou."

Lin Xuan looked at Sima Benlei and spoke calmly.

Sima Benlei glanced at Lin Xuan, then his gaze was drawn to Lan Zhantian and Qingfeng behind Lin Xuan.

It was truly unexpected that three half-immortal realm experts would emerge from the small Eastern Continent, which they considered a barbaric land.

"Hehe, let me introduce myself. I am Sima Benlei, the Supreme Elder of the Sima family."

Sima Benlei slightly opened his mouth, and his words caused an uproar throughout the room.

Although many people had guessed Sima Benlei's identity, they were still quite surprised when he revealed it.

The name of True Immortal Zi Lei had spread throughout the continent hundreds of years ago, but he had not shown his face for nearly a hundred years. Unexpectedly, he has reappeared in the public eye today in this kind of occasion.

“True Immortal Purple Thunder, so you’ve come here this time to stand up for him, huh?”

Lin Xuan, with an indifferent attitude, glanced at Sima Benlei and stared directly at Sima Changchao.

Lin Xuan harbored murderous intent towards Sima Changchao and came to oppose him, so he would have to face the consequences of failure.

Even if it were a true immortal, Lin Xuan was absolutely confident that he could make the visitor leave defeated!

“This is the young patriarch of my Sima family. The current situation is that my young patriarch has been injured by you. As an elder, I naturally have to stand up for my young patriarch.”

Sima Benlei maintained a matter-of-fact expression, his eyes remaining unchanged, without revealing even a trace of killing intent.

However, Lin Xuan could already sense a pressing aura emanating from Sima Benlei, which meant that Sima Benlei did indeed intend to kill him, but he had concealed his killing intent very well.

"Hehe, alright then, no need for further nonsense. I completely understand the situation where the older one comes after the younger one is beaten. You're not bad either, you know to be polite first and then resort to force."

Lin Xuan stood directly in front of Sima Benlei, at a position that was neither too high nor too low, looking Sima Benlei straight in the eye.

Sima Benlei observed that Lin Xuan already possessed an extraordinary demeanor, and his speech and courage were also exceptional. Furthermore, this person in front of him had the heaven-defying combat power to defeat his own young clan leader, making him a truly monstrous genius.

It's truly strange that such a prodigy would be born in such a small place.

"Your combat prowess is remarkable, and your demeanor is extraordinary. Could it be that you have been guided by a master? Hehe, perhaps I even know one."

Sima Benlei still didn't make a move, continuing to inquire about Lin Xuan's background, remaining very composed.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This rugged True Immortal in front of him used the lightning element, which was known for its violent nature, but he was actually very steady in his actions.

"Sima Benlei, there's no need to be so cautious. I'll be frank today. I, Lin Xuan, have no background whatsoever. You're welcome to come at me!"

"boom!"

No sooner had Lin Xuan finished speaking than a bolt of purple lightning flashed past, and Sima Benlei launched a sneak attack, completely unlike his previous composure.

"boom!"

Lin Xuan was caught off guard, but managed to withstand the attack.

Without the slightest hesitation, Sima Benlei launched a second attack at Lin Xuan.

A purple net of lightning crisscrossed the sky, a preparation that Sima Benlei had been making from the very beginning.

The terrifying power of the lightning caused Shenfeng City to shake, and the onlookers around Shenfeng City kept their distance, fearing that they would be affected by Sima Benlei's purple lightning.

"It is said that Sima Benlei's purple lightning is extremely extraordinary, with a remarkable origin. The number of powerful figures killed by this purple lightning is countless, and the number of half-immortals who died under its power is at least countable in two hands."

Xu Zilin sighed softly as he looked at the battle trajectory in the sky, which was now completely undetectable. He hadn't expected to encounter such an enemy. "Boom!"

The dark red Asura Armor reattached itself to its back, and the Supreme Asura Transformation was immediately unleashed at its most powerful level.

Lin Xuan's power was surging wildly. Although he was still a half-immortal, he far surpassed other half-immortals in terms of both the quality and quantity of his source energy.

"boom!"

Sima Benlei's palm, crackling with purple lightning, slammed towards Lin Xuan's forehead, but Lin Xuan blocked it with an upward gesture.

"It's really extraordinary!"

Sima Benlei narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw that his attack could be caught by the man in front of him with his bare hands, and he praised Lin Xuan without reservation.

"This purple lightning is quite powerful, and it also carries a very strong and violent attribute."

Lin Xuan and Sima Benlei exchanged over a hundred blows, naturally figuring out the characteristics of the Purple Lightning.

Sima Benlei was still enveloped in lightning, and he simply smiled calmly as he listened to Lin Xuan's words.

"The Purple Heaven Thunder is a heavenly thunder, hehe, I was lucky enough to obtain it when I was young."

Sima Benlei's lips curled slightly; this Purple Sky Thunderstorm was Sima Benlei's capital to show off.

Of course, being struck by lightning certainly gives one something to brag about.

"The Purple Heaven Thunderstorm is indeed impressive, but it pales in comparison to my golden lightning!"

Lin Xuan unleashed a bolt of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder towards Sima Benlei. The power of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder instantly shattered the Purple Heaven Thunder's defense and struck Sima Benlei directly.

Sima Benlei's body was instantly blasted away by the violent attack of the Nine Heavens Golden Lightning, crashing heavily into Shenfeng City.

The entire venue fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and countless people stared wide-eyed.

Sima Benlei, a True Immortal of the Purple Thunder Realm, was actually knocked away by a single move, and the instigator was none other than Lin Xuan, a half-immortal from the Eastern Continent.

Upon seeing this, Sima Changchao couldn't help but swallow hard. He hadn't expected that he had underestimated Lin Xuan.

As for the few half-immortals who followed Sima Changchao, they felt a wave of fear and a sense of relief. Fortunately, Lin Xuan did not unleash his ultimate move on them from the beginning, otherwise they would have suffered a lot.

"what!"

A sudden clap of thunder shot straight into the sky, scattering all the clouds above.

Shenfeng City also suffered, with buildings within a ten-mile radius of Sima Benlei being severely destroyed.

Fortunately, the continuous battles fought by Lin Xuan and others alarmed the entire Shenfeng City, causing almost everyone in the city to fly away to avoid being affected. Otherwise, Sima Benlei's berserk attack alone could have killed tens of thousands of people.

"Excellent! This is truly interesting. I never expected to find a master like you in such a godforsaken place as the Eastern Continent. Today, I will use your Golden Lightning as a sacrifice to this Purple Heaven Thunder!"

Sima Benlei unleashed his full power, proving that the True Immortal Realm and the Half-Immortal Realm are indeed not on the same level. The Half-Immortal Realm still has some mortal feel, but the True Immortal Realm is on a completely different level.

A burst of purple lightning energy erupted forth, its power incredibly exaggerated, shooting swiftly towards Lin Xuan and completely surrounding him.

"Boom~~"

The sky was filled with purple, and with a thunderous roar, raindrops began to fall, as if the whole world had been controlled by Sima Benlei.

Lin Xuan was not to be outdone, and immediately pointed a finger to the sky, unleashing a Nine Heavens Golden Thunder Finger, instantly turning the purple sky into gold.

Although Lin Xuan did not specialize in lightning power, the lightning on his body was the true Heavenly Punishment Lightning, the Emperor of Ten Thousand Thunders. How could it be suppressed by a mere Purple Heaven Thunderstorm?

"This golden lightning bolt actually feels like it's overwhelming my Purple Heaven Thunderclap. What kind of lightning is this? Why does it feel so familiar to me...?"

Sima Benlei was both shocked and curious as he felt the Nine Heavens Golden Lightning released by Lin Xuan.

Sima Benlei never expected that the golden lightning used by Lin Xuan would be the same Nine Heavens Golden Lightning that had struck him as divine punishment when he broke through to the Immortal Realm.

Who would have thought that someone could subdue the Heavenly Punishment Thunder?

"No matter what methods you use today, I will restrain you. The difference between a half-immortal and a true immortal is not just a little bit."

Sima Benlei looked coldly at Lin Xuan. His words seemed to be a warning to Lin Xuan, or perhaps he just wanted Lin Xuan to surrender immediately.

Lin Xuan merely sneered upon hearing this, and the Purple Cloud Divine Sword in his hand flashed a bright purple sword light once again, echoing the purple of the purple lightning in the sky, neither giving way to the other.

"Raging Thunder and Purple Lightning!"

Sima Benlei tapped his toes, and his body instantly transformed into a streak of purple lightning, heading straight for Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan showed no weakness and immediately used the Wind Control Divine Technique to dodge Sima Benlei's several attacks.

Without pausing, Sima Benlei unleashed a massive purple lightning handprint that slammed straight toward Lin Xuan.

The purple handprint was extremely fast, but Lin Xuan managed to dodge three of them in a row using his Wind Control Divine Technique.

Lin Xuan's mastery of wind also reached the ninth realm of domain power. Although it has not yet become a law power, it is not far off. The Wind Control Divine Technique used by Lin Xuan was originally used by wind attribute experts. However, Lin Xuan's talent was too high, and he mastered the Wind Control Divine Technique in no time.

"You think you can leave? Where do you think you're going?!"

Lin Xuan successfully dodged Sima Benlei's attacks several times. Just when everyone thought that Sima Benlei had no way to deal with Lin Xuan, Sima Benlei suddenly shook his hand.

Hundreds of purple chains suddenly shot out from the space around where Lin Xuan was standing.

Lin Xuan was slightly startled upon seeing this. The appearance of these purple lightning chains was truly unpredictable. Even Lin Xuan had not expected that there would be hundreds of these purple lightning chains.

At this point, Lin Xuan could no longer escape. After all, hundreds of chains were heading towards him through spatial trajectories, unpredictable and erratic. Even Lin Xuan, the master of space, could not dodge them and could only confront them head-on.

“King, king, king~”

The Purple Cloud Divine Sword was wielded with great power by Lin Xuan, unleashing bursts of energy that severed hundreds of purple lightning chains flying from all directions.

However, this time the chains of purple lightning were truly numerous, with dozens already wrapped around Lin Xuan's body.

Lin Xuan stomped his foot, and the Three Thousand Pagodas immediately enveloped him. The purple lightning chains could only bind the Three Thousand Pagodas.

However, to Lin Xuan's surprise, purple lightning chains actually drilled in from beneath the Three Thousand Pagodas and immediately grabbed Lin Xuan's feet.

"Order it for me!"

Sima Benlei pointed a finger, and a purple cage appeared in the sky, crashing straight down on Lin Xuan.
