Fighting the Masked Man

Chapter 681 Lin Dong on Fire

boom!
The endless void exploded, and boundless demonic energy surged out from the spatial rifts like dark clouds. The terrifying demonic shadow covered the sky of the Great Thousand Worlds. All living beings in this world saw this incomparably terrifying demonic shadow at this moment. At the same time, a handsome man wearing a star and moon robe slowly walked out, and his vast demonic power swept across the heavens and earth.

In that instant, both sides on the battlefield instinctively stopped fighting and turned to look at the void where the Heavenly Evil God was located.

"Heavenly Evil God!"

A powerful figure in the vast world recognized the newcomer's identity, and his expression changed drastically. He seemed unable to believe that the Heavenly Evil God would suddenly appear on the battlefield. Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor was no match for the Underworld Lord and the others?!

This speculation instantly caused the morale of the Great Thousand Worlds to plummet, and countless people's faces darkened. After all, no one in the Great Thousand Worlds could stop the Heavenly Evil God now. Without the Heavenly Emperor standing in front, the scales of war had clearly tilted completely towards the side of the extraterrestrial evil race.

The Heavenly Evil God naturally knew this as well. With a faint smile on his handsome face, he calmly said, "The Heavenly Emperor has been restrained by the Underworld Evil Emperor. Now, in the Great Thousand World, no one can stop me. If you surrender, I can promise that after I unify the entire Great Thousand World, I will spare your lives and give you a place!"
There was a pause.

His five evil eyes flashed with a cold and sinister purple light, and his voice, filled with killing intent, resounded in everyone's ears: "Of course, you can also choose to continue to resist. As for the consequences of resistance, you should know them!"

For a moment, the world fell into a deathly silence, and countless people watched this scene in despair.

"Is the Great Thousand World really going to perish?!" The True Dragon Emperor looked at this scene with a bitter smile on his face, feeling a sense of despair. The power of the Heavenly Evil God could not be compensated for by numbers. No matter how many Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereigns there were, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths when facing the Heavenly Evil God.

Moreover, in the current battle, the Great Thousand World is already at a disadvantage. Whether it is the number of strong people or the combat power of the middle and lower levels, it is far inferior to the extraterrestrial evil race and the underworld.

Now, with the addition of the Heavenly Evil God, how can this battle possibly continue?!

"It's nothing more than a fight to the death!" The Undying Lord slowly raised his eyes and stared directly at the Heavenly Evil God. His aged face was completely calm, showing only a resolute determination to die. Rather than be someone's dog, he would rather die.

"I'm afraid things won't be peaceful even after death!" The Green-Robed Sword Saint shook his head, looked at the powerful figures in the underworld in the distance, and sighed softly.

"Let me try it!"

Just then, a muffled sound rang out on the deathly silent battlefield. Then, under everyone's gaze, Lin Dong slowly stepped out from the battlefield, standing alone outside the army, and faced the Heavenly Evil God with his own strength.

"Martial Ancestor?!" Everyone was slightly taken aback when they saw Lin Dong suddenly stepping forward.

The Heavenly Evil God also noticed Lin Dong, his eyes showing a strange light. He clearly hadn't expected that, besides the Heavenly Emperor, there was another person with considerable strength in the Great Thousand World. He looked at Lin Dong with interest and said indifferently, "I didn't expect that, besides the Heavenly Emperor, there would be someone like you in the Great Thousand World. Unfortunately, with your current strength, you can't stop me."

He spoke frankly, saying that although Lin Dong's strength had touched the Divine Realm, it was only a touch; how could he possibly withstand him in his Seven Eyes state?

"Not necessarily!" Lin Dong snorted coldly, then closed his eyes. An invisible aura swept out from his body, seemingly connecting with some strange existence. A vast power of heaven and earth instantly manifested from the Great Thousand World.

boom!
Immediately afterwards, the spiritual energy of the entire world suddenly began to boil and surge. Beams of spiritual energy descended from the sky, piercing through the vast demonic energy. In just a few dozen breaths, the overwhelming demonic energy that obscured the world was riddled with holes.

Those beams of spiritual energy were completely different from ordinary spiritual energy; they seemed to contain a trace of extremely terrifying power.

The Heavenly Evil God in the void suddenly froze, then stared at the all-pervasive spiritual energy of heaven and earth with a gloomy expression. His eyes, which were like black holes, also became sharp and sinister at this moment. He did not expect that there would be an anomaly in the Great Thousand World.

Under his gaze, a vast power was slowly descending.

The ethereal light, like hanging clouds, poured down from the sky, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. It then gradually converged and finally transformed into a curtain of light connecting heaven and earth.

"I didn't expect you to be able to sense the will of the Great Thousand Worlds. However, merely sensing it is of little use. If you can't leave your true name on it, it's all for naught." The Heavenly Evil God's expression gradually calmed down as he spoke indifferently.

With Lin Dong's strength, he didn't think the other party could succeed. It was already absurd that there were such extraordinary beings as the Heavenly Emperor and the Underworld Lord in one world. If there were others, then it would be quite unusual.

Lin Dong was never a talkative person. He glanced at it and then transformed into an eight-colored spiritual light, rushing towards the Sky Ranking. Although this was not the path he wanted to take, for the sake of the Great Thousand World and to repay his teacher's kindness, he would have no regrets even if his strength could not improve in the future.

This battle shouldn't have been borne by the teacher alone!
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, a dazzling spiritual light erupted from Lin Dong's body. However, that spiritual light actually displayed eight colors, each representing a completely different spiritual power. The eight spiritual powers were perfectly integrated, releasing a powerful force.

An undying martial will permeated it, as if it were an evolution of his true form. All the power within him erupted at this moment, transforming into a giant finger brimming with eight kinds of spiritual power. The giant finger shattered the void, containing boundless power, and struck down heavily on the Heavenly Ranking.

Under the gloomy gaze of the Heavenly Evil God, the eight-colored giant finger broke through the mysterious mist that enveloped the Heavenly Ranking, allowing it to truly manifest in the world. Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the giant finger landed on the Heavenly Ranking.

An indescribable sense of oppression erupted from the Sky Ranking, permeating the heavens and earth.

Under this pressure, all the Heavenly Sovereigns, even those in the late stage of Saint Rank like Qin Tian, ​​changed their expressions drastically. Under this pressure, they found that they couldn't even move their fingers at all... It seemed that all the spiritual power in their bodies was stagnating at this moment.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the Heavenly Ranking. As the eight-colored giant fingers fell, the Heavenly Ranking trembled slightly, and the sound of thunder echoed throughout the entire Great Thousand World.

All living beings in this vast world can sense this scene, no matter how far apart they are.

As the giant finger slowly slid, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Lin Dong, making his movements increasingly sluggish, almost impossible to move an inch. Lin Dong's expression gradually became ferocious, until he burned his essence and lifespan in exchange for even stronger power, almost risking his life to write his own name.

Just as Lin Dong had thought, with his current strength, he could only barely sense the Sky Ranking. It was impossible for him to leave behind his complete true name. However, burning his own life might not be impossible to leave behind even a single character of his surname. Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he had never known the word "submission," just like his martial arts!
It's nothing more than a war!
What is there to fear in death!

"open!"

Lin Dong roared, his body nearly shattering. At the cost of burning his own life force, his eight-colored giant finger trembled as it made its final stroke, leaving a complete character on it. As the character 'Lin' solidified, a mysterious and vast power instantly enveloped Lin Dong's body, causing his injuries to begin to heal. At the same time, his aura began to surge, and the power of the entire Great Thousand World began to converge on him. As if centered on him, this power condensed into an ancient rune between his eyebrows, containing the might of heaven and earth.

And the Sky Ranking slowly disappeared at this moment. "Dominator Realm..." Lin Dong felt the power at this moment and understood what his teacher had said earlier. The path of the Dominator Realm and the God Realm are indeed two different paths. The former borrows the power of the Great Thousand World, while the latter returns the power to oneself.

Which one is strong and which one is weak is clear at a glance.

However, given the current situation, there is no point in considering these issues anymore. If the world loses, then the so-called future will be a joke.

"It's done! It's really done! Heaven has not forsaken our vast world!"

"As long as the Martial Ancestor can stop the Heavenly Evil God, then the Great Thousand World will not be without a chance in this battle. As long as the Heavenly Emperor can win, then the final victory will surely belong to the Great Thousand World!"

……

The bleak despair that had once filled them was now finally replaced by a glimmer of hope. Everyone was filled with excitement, their eyes filled with anticipation as they looked at the Martial Ancestor.

At this moment, the Heavenly Evil God smiled, his voice tinged with mockery and disdain, and said indifferently: "Burning your own origin and sacrificing your future to forcibly leave behind a single word of your true name, you are even more foolish than the Immortal Emperor of yesteryear, utterly stupid!"

When you reach this level of strength, you have unlimited lifespan, but that doesn't mean you can burn your lifespan at will. The lifespan you burn here is not your own life force, but a destiny, an irreparable force.

It's like sacrificing everything in the future to make yourself a better person now.

It would be one thing if he could leave his full real name, but he only left one character of his real name, cutting off all future possibilities. It's utterly ridiculous.

"I'll stop you if I can!" Lin Dong's voice remained unchanged, filled only with determination. An indomitable martial will soared into the sky, as if even if he were to perish, he would still splatter the Heavenly Evil God with blood.

"So what if you can stop them? Can you stop the army below?" The Heavenly Evil God's gloomy expression faded as he slowly spoke. Then, he gave orders to the army below to conquer the Great Thousand World at all costs.

In an instant, the great war broke out again, and it was even more tragic and bloody than before. The border between the two worlds was completely turned into a meat grinder, and the star field was stained red.

Lin Dong also rushed towards the Heavenly Evil God and engaged him in battle.

"Even the Immortal Emperor of yesteryear was no match for me, let alone a defective product like you!" The Heavenly Evil God sneered, his seven eyes opening simultaneously, and terrifying divine light of destruction converged, transforming into a spatial cage that suppressed Lin Dong, intending to refine him directly.

"The Immortal Emperor sealed you at the cost of burning himself, so I might be able to do the same!" Lin Dong coldly replied, directly burning himself. Golden flames surrounded him, his life force was boiling, and at the same time, the power of heaven and earth of the entire Great Thousand World rushed towards him, gathering on his body.

“…Madman!” Tianxie Shen’s pupils contracted as he stared intently at Lin Dong. Compared to the Immortal Emperor of the past, Lin Dong was clearly more insane. The other party was not only willing to sacrifice his future, but also wanted to burn everything he had just to stop him for a moment.

"What's the point of doing this? Do you really think you can protect this entire world?!"

"I can stop you for a moment. I believe that I can deal with the Underworld Lord and the Evil Emperor!" Lin Dong roared, shattering the spatial cage with a punch and charging towards the Heavenly Evil God, like a shooting star with a golden tail of flame, filled with the power to destroy everything.

"Can you stop him?!" The Heavenly Evil God was also enraged, forcibly activating his eighth eye, wanting to finish the battle quickly and completely eliminate Lin Dong.

……

In the Heavenly Court, Yao Luoxian had returned and was standing with Ling'er and the others. Besides them, there was another stunningly beautiful and unfamiliar woman present. This woman had never appeared before and this was her first real appearance. However, the women present were not unfamiliar with her.

The most beautiful woman in the world in the past, the Goddess of the Luo River, and the ancestor of Luo Li.

Heaven knows how Luo Li reacted after seeing Luo Shen. She never expected that her ancestor would be resurrected, and that he was even a person from the Heavenly Court.

"I'll give it a try too!" Yao Luoxian said suddenly as she watched Lin Dong's fierce battle with the Heavenly Evil God. With her current strength, and with the help of the Ice Soul Sacred Lotus, she might be able to leave a name on the Sky Ranking.

"No, brother won't allow it. None of you are allowed to participate in this battle!" Ling'er's big, fluffy ears perked up, and her usually lazy eyes now shone with a hint of intelligence as she looked at Yao Luoxian with a serious expression and gave her instructions.

Yao Luoxian looked at Ling'er in confusion. Why wasn't she allowed to intervene in the current situation? Why was Ling'er even allowed to bring her back?

"Don't worry, the world will not lose. Your father has his own plans." Luo Shen clasped her hands on her lower abdomen, her dreamlike starry eyes looking at Yao Luo Xian. Her red lips parted slightly, and her clear, cool voice, like a flowing stream, slowly rang out.

Her thoughts were also complicated at this moment. Looking at Lin Dong, who had broken through to the Dominator Realm and was fighting with the Heavenly Evil God in the distance, the bet she made with the Heavenly Emperor in the past resurfaced in her mind.

I feel like I've lost.

This disciple of the Heavenly Emperor was extraordinary, with a resolute character and decisiveness. Unfortunately, he encountered a less-than-ideal teacher. It is unknown what the teacher would think after learning the truth; it would probably overturn his understanding.

"Father has other plans?" Yao Luoxian was taken aback upon hearing this, and then asked.

"Just wait and see," Luo Shen said calmly. She didn't bother to explain further, because it would be useless. Could it be that everything right now was a scheme orchestrated by your father, and that the powerful Heavenly Evil God was just a pawn in your father's game, while the Heavenly Emperor in the eyes of the world was plotting to seize the origin of the entire Great Thousand Worlds and use it to transcend?

Even if the whole truth were told, few people would believe it.

P.S.: My baby has bronchitis, it's a bit of a hassle... I won't stop updating from now on, until the story is finished, sorry.
