Fighting the Masked Man

Chapter 682 Turning point
Endless void.

Yao Yan looked down upon the entire Great Thousand World. In his eyes, the causal lines of the entire Great Thousand World were intertwined with Lin Dong as the core, and the vast power of fortune was also beginning to converge towards Lin Dong. Especially when Lin Dong stepped halfway into the Sovereign Realm, his fate underwent earth-shattering changes, and he seemed to have become the new hope of the Great Thousand World, the only protagonist.

Even the 60% of fortune that Lin Dong originally controlled began to waver and converge towards him because of Lin Dong's breakthrough.

"Ha~"

Yao Yan revealed a cold smile, and his vertical pupil between his brows suddenly opened, absorbing all 60% of the fortune power gathered in the Chaos Cauldron. The vertical pupil was no longer a part of his body. The moment the Chaos Body transformed into the Innate Chaos Body, it had become independent of the Great Thousand World. Now, the vertical pupil was more like a 'natal artifact' detached from his body, used to carry the fortune of the Great Thousand World, the extraterrestrial evil races, and the creatures of the Underworld.

This was also Yao Yan's way of guarding against the Great Thousand Worlds. If he succeeded, he would use the power of the vertical pupils to bear the fate of the Great Thousand Worlds and use it as a medium to become the only supreme god. If he failed, he would calmly leave with the Heavenly Court.

Even if he ultimately fails, he will not lose by reaping the lives of most of the world's creatures.

However, this is the last resort. Yao Yan doesn't want to become a 'vagrant' like Tian Xie Shen unless absolutely necessary. Wandering in the endless void is not a good thing. If he's lucky, he might encounter a great world like the Great Thousand Worlds. If he's unlucky, he might be captured by some more terrifying beings.

Even when venturing out into the world, you still need a base camp!

Lin Dong's sudden surge in power did not surprise Yao Yan; in fact, it was only natural. Lin Dong was one of the chosen ones in the original story, born with an unparalleled affinity for the Heavenly Ranking, and was a 'god' destined for the Great Thousand World. Others might not have been able to leave behind a single word of their true name so easily and break through to the Dominator Realm.

Even if it means burning one's own lifespan, and everything in the future... so what? If you don't accept it, you don't accept it.

Fate was already predetermined.

In other words, Lin Dong was originally a pawn chosen by the Great Thousand Worlds, and now he has simply returned to his rightful place. If Xiao Yan were still alive, he might have been able to take this step as well. Unfortunately, his fate was altered because of his own premature intervention.

Without Yao Lao and the Burning Blade Technique, Xiao Yan's fate was sealed; it was only a matter of time. In this vast world, there are countless geniuses, as numerous as the stars. Without the potential to rise, how could one possibly stand out?

If Yao Yan had not obtained the Burning Technique, he would not have been able to walk the path of the Chaotic Body. Every sip and every bite is preordained.

"Emperor Yan died young, Mu Chen is gone, and only Lin Dong remains... Will of the Great Thousand Worlds, what choice will you make?" Yao Yan, like a chess player, calmly watched the development of events in the Great Thousand Worlds. He was really curious about how the will of the Great Thousand Worlds would react in this desperate situation. Would it completely release the restrictions and allow Lin Dong to directly enter the Sovereign Realm, or would it simply head towards destruction?

Given the current situation, Lin Dong can only barely hold off the Heavenly Evil God in his seven-eyed state. The extraterrestrial evil army and the underworld soldiers below are constantly encroaching on the territory of the Great Thousand World, gradually weakening the Great Thousand World's will's control over the world.

Just as the Heavenly Evil God originally planned, all that was needed was to completely conquer the entire Great Thousand World, so what could the so-called will of the Great Thousand World do?

The will of the world is the condensation of the will of all living beings.

However, if all living beings become evil races from beyond the realm, then the will of the so-called Great Thousand World will inevitably perish.

Most importantly, the will of the world does not possess human wisdom; it only has the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and releasing the final restrictions is its only choice.

……

The great battle continued, and it did not improve because Lin Dong broke through to the half-step Dominator Realm. On the contrary, it deteriorated rapidly because the number of the immortal Yin puppets in the Underworld was too large. They almost swept through the defenses of the Great Thousand World with overwhelming force. Except for the eastern front occupied by the Heavenly Court, the other three fronts collapsed completely.

Vast swathes of territory fell, continents were razed to the ground by the powerful beings of the underworld, reduced to ruins, and countless lives were transformed into soul imprints, sinking into an invisible River Styx.

As more and more living beings die in the vast world, the River Styx, which lies between reality and illusion, seems to truly manifest itself in the world, stretching across the sky of the vast world, forming a ring that envelops this great realm.

Countless souls are consumed within it, and the cycle of reincarnation manifests from within...

"boom!"

A black curtain swept across the sky, endless demonic energy transforming into a sea of ​​demons that engulfed Lin Dong. Wherever it passed, space shattered into fragments, the destructive power surging forth. Each strand of power was enough to severely injure a Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign. In the next instant, an eight-colored palm tore open the sea of ​​demons. Under Lin Dong's control, the eight laws of heaven and earth transformed into endless killing techniques, blasting towards the Heavenly Evil God. "Do you really think you can contend with me with your current strength? Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" The Heavenly Evil God's eyes grew increasingly impatient; clearly, he had no more desire to contend with Lin Dong. Even at a cost, he was determined to kill Lin Dong.

With a thought, the demonic source within his body ignited, forcibly activating the eighth evil eye in his heart. Instantly, his power surged dramatically, and at the same time, all eight evil eyes emitted a strange purple evil light, with all eight pupils locking onto Lin Dong, and terrifying destructive power surged forth.

"World-Destroying Mystic Light!"

With a low shout, a demonic shadow powerful enough to devour a realm emerged from behind him. The demonic shadow opened its huge mouth, and a vast demonic light shot out. The demonic light was only about a hundred feet long, but when it appeared, the void was easily torn apart. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that had gathered because of Lin Dong fled in panic, as if it had encountered something terrifying.

Wherever it passed, it crushed all the sweeping killing techniques, pressing down on Lin Dong with an overwhelming force.

The terrifying power caused the space around Lin Dong to freeze briefly, preventing him from breaking through the void and leaving. He could only withstand it with his own strength. Knowing this, he suppressed his heart palpitations and stared resolutely at the Heavenly Evil God.

There is no way to retreat, and family is behind us. This battle is nothing more than fighting to the death!

He roared, and the ancient divine rune between his brows manifested, with pale golden flames burning along its edges. As the mark of heaven and earth burned, the power of heaven and earth in the entire Great Thousand World seemed to boil at this moment, converging towards Lin Dong.

"Is this your last resort? If so, then you may die!" The Heavenly Evil God sneered, manipulating the demonic light to rush towards Lin Dong.

"Eight Symbols of Annihilation!"

Lin Dong summoned the mark between his eyebrows, and the 'Dominator's Position' bestowed by the Sky Ranking began to burn, using it to contain even more powerful forces of heaven and earth, gathering an eight-colored divine light that clashed with the sweeping black gaze.

In the blink of an eye, the two collided violently, and a deafening roar that annihilated everything resounded throughout the entire world, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and all directions to groan in agony.

"call out!"

The black demonic light was not extinguished; its remaining power transformed into a spear that pierced Lin Dong's chest and pinned him to the void. The black demonic energy instantly invaded his body, and the most terrifying demonic runes in the world began to spread from him, attempting to control his body.

"Lin Dong!"

"Big brother!"

Inside the Heavenly Court, Xiao Diao and the others' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this scene, and they couldn't help but exclaim in shock. Xiao Yan, disregarding everything, tore through the void and shot towards Lin Dong's location. Even if he died, he wanted to die with his elder brother.

"Idiot!" Little Marten cursed angrily when he saw Little Flame disappear into the air. He then followed after him, even though he knew it would be pointless. He couldn't bear to watch Lin Dong and Little Flame be killed.

It's nothing but death; Lord Diao has never been afraid of death!
However, at this moment, he was also cursing the Heavenly Emperor for being unreliable. Why did he start this war prematurely without any certainty? If Lin Dong were given more time, he might be able to catch up with the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation. At that time, the Great Thousand World would definitely be able to defeat the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan and the Underworld.

Unfortunately, no one answered this question for him.

At this moment, Lin Dong was pinned to the void by the power of the Heavenly Evil God's eight eyes. Demonic patterns stained half of his body, and even spread along his flesh towards the illusory mark of heaven and earth between his eyebrows, attempting to use it to control a part of the power of the Great Thousand World.

"The game is over. I'll gladly accept your life essence!" The Heavenly Evil God looked at Lin Dong and revealed a cruel smile. Devouring a half-step Sovereign Realm being was enough to restore him to his peak state. In particular, the Heaven and Earth Mark between Lin Dong's eyebrows could serve as a medium for the Heavenly Fate Law, allowing him to perfectly replace the fate of the Great Thousand World's will and become the new supreme god of the Great Thousand World.

Lin Dong struggled to resist the erosion of demonic energy and tried to break free of the restraints, but all his efforts were in vain. Facing the Heavenly Evil God with Eight Evil Eyes, he, a half-step Sovereign Realm cultivator, was simply no match for him, especially since his Sovereign Realm cultivation was incomplete.

"boom!"

At that very moment, the hidden Heavenly Ranking reappeared...
