I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Deep within the city lord's mansion, in a quiet room.

Yan Shuming, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation with spiritual light flowing around him, suddenly opened his eyes!

Suddenly, he turned towards the Lin family's location at Shattered Star Lake.

His brows furrowed slightly, his expression clearly displeased, even showing a hint of anger.

With his powerful divine sense at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, even from hundreds of miles away...

They could also clearly sense the sudden, undisguised, intense fluctuations of the laws and the aura of destruction.

"Chen Dai actually used a mid-grade divine ability?!"

"Hmph! They truly haven't taken my words to heart at all! To deal with a Foundation Establishment family, they actually need to resort to supernatural powers? Making such a commotion, are they afraid that Chuyang City isn't chaotic enough already!"

He shook his head slightly, a hint of annoyance and disappointment flashing in his eyes, and then closed them again.

At his level, he wouldn't easily get angry, but Chen Dai's actions did indeed displease him.

His previous tacit approval of the Chen family's consolidation of power was based on the premise of "rapid, stable, and minimal trouble."

However, if the other side uses supernatural powers to launch a powerful attack to establish its authority, it will create a huge momentum and may cause unnecessary casualties and damage.

This contradicts his original intention to maintain stability in Chuyang City.

At this moment, Yan Shuming even felt a pang of regret.

What deep master-disciple relationship existed between myself and Chen Dai, this nominal disciple?

It's simply a matter of each getting what they need and using each other.

Chen Dai needs the tacit approval and potential support of the city lord's mansion to consolidate his power and solidify his position;

He was also thinking that having a more obedient assistant in the future would make it easier to manage the disorganized Chuyang City.

However, if the Chen family can successfully integrate all the families after today and become the only Golden Core family in Chuyang City, its power will inevitably expand rapidly.

Would the Chen family, which is growing stronger and more powerful, still treat him with the same respect and obedience as they do now?

Perhaps I made this move a bit too hastily.

However, just as he was weighing the pros and cons and considering how to check the Chen family in the future...

"Um?!"

Yan Shuming's body jolted violently, and he suddenly opened his eyes again!

This time, the astonishment in his eyes far surpassed that before!

A brand new aura of golden core energy, full of vigor and sharpness, rose into the sky from the direction of Shattered Star Lake without warning, like a dragon emerging from the abyss!

He moved with a swift movement and vanished from the secret chamber...

…………

Shattered Star Lake, the Lin family's territory, on the island in the middle of the lake.

The Yaren Dragon Beast received a message: A Golden Core cultivator has arrived.

He immediately teleported from the Azure Mystery Realm to the island in the middle of the lake and hid in a secluded corner.

A cold gaze fixed on Chen Dai high in the sky, who was unleashing a barrage of powerful spells using the might of his Golden Core.

But it held back and did not make a move.

Obey the master's commands.

They will conceal their strength and buy time, and will not make a move unless the family is truly facing a life-or-death crisis and is left with no other choice.

But at this moment, the "Five Directions Thick Earth Formation" shattered with a deafening roar, and a sea of ​​crimson fire spread and engulfed the island in the center of the lake like a cataclysmic disaster.

He knew it was time for him to take action!

However, just as it was about to soar into the sky...

A burst of nascent golden elixir energy erupted like a dormant volcano, shooting straight into the sky!

He stopped instantly, a smile appearing on his face.

Master has successfully formed his core!

……

next moment!

A stream of light, not dazzling but seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and earth, burst forth from the depths of the Lin family's main residence on the island in the lake, shooting straight into the sky!

At the same time, a brand new, solid, and powerful pressure from the Golden Core, like an invisible tsunami, swept out without reservation.

In an instant, the heat and despair that permeated the sky above Shattered Star Lake were dispelled!

The streak of light abruptly stopped beneath the crimson sea of ​​fire, revealing a figure as upright as a pine tree.

It was Lin Che!

Facing the crimson sea of ​​fire that blotted out the sky and seemed to incinerate everything, Lin Che merely snorted coldly, his eyes indifferent.

A noble crimson-gold gleam suddenly appeared in his pupils!

The temperature in the small patch of sky behind him suddenly soared to a terrifying level!

A fiery domain, smaller in scale than its opponent but more condensed and pure, seemingly composed of countless tiny crimson-gold phantoms of fire phoenixes, suddenly unfolded!

It is his innate divine power—Phoenix Blood True Fire!

"go!"

Lin Che uttered a single word and raised his hand to press forward.

"Boom—!!!"

That crimson-gold Phoenix Blood True Fire domain, like a fiery curtain flowing against the current, crashed fiercely into the cascading inferno!

Two equally terrifying fire-based divine powers, but with vastly different attributes, collided head-on in mid-air!

The anticipated stalemate or violent explosion did not occur.

The crimson-gold Phoenix Blood True Fire, upon contact with Chen Dai's crimson sea of ​​fire, seemed to have encountered the most delicious tonic, or like a king encountering his subjects!

The raging fire energy in the crimson sea of ​​fire was being rapidly "devoured" by the crimson-gold flames at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Wherever the crimson flames passed, the fiery sea of ​​red melted, evaporated, and disintegrated as quickly as snow in spring.

Not only did it fail to break through, it also turned into nourishment for the crimson-gold flames to strengthen itself!

In just a few breaths, the "Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea" divine power, which originally covered the heavens and earth and was terrifying in its power, was forcibly "burned" open with a huge gap!

And this gap is widening rapidly!

Chen Dai's supernatural powers were completely suppressed at this moment!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, faster than anyone could react.

It wasn't until this moment that the people below realized what was happening.

"Golden...Golden Core?! How could the Lin family have a Golden Core cultivator?!"

"My God! That oppressive aura... Yes! It's a Golden Core cultivator! Absolutely the aura of a Golden Core cultivator!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How many years has this small Lin family risen to prominence? How could they possibly have a Golden Core cultivator!"

"Look! That person...that person looks like Lin Che, the head of the Lin family!"

The deathly silence was shattered in an instant.

Instead, there were gasps of shock, doubts, horror, and disbelief!

Whether it was the guest elders within the Lin family territory who had originally shown despair, or the Chen and Zhao family cultivators outside the formation who were full of pride.

Or perhaps they are spies from various families lurking in the distant mountains, forests, and waters.

At this moment, everyone stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, their faces filled with utter shock and bewilderment!

The reversal of the situation came so suddenly and so incredibly!

The person with the most complex and shocked expression was Chen Dai, who was high in the sky, who had just been like a god of fire descending to earth and declaring the fate of the Lin family!

As a Golden Core cultivator, his senses were naturally more acute than those of other cultivators.

He had already sensed Lin Che the moment he appeared and released his pressure!

His gaze was fixed on the figure below, whose aura was slightly weak, yet whose posture was as upright as a pine tree and whose eyes were calm and profound.

Feeling powerless as his mid-grade divine power "Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea" was rapidly devoured and disintegrated by the opponent's strange flames, the turbulent waves in his heart almost burst through his chest!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The opponent has only just formed his core and his aura is not yet stable, how could he possibly possess supernatural powers?!

For a Golden Core cultivator to comprehend and refine a low-grade divine ability, it typically requires years, even decades, of painstaking effort!

What he found even more unacceptable was that the opponent was also using a fire-based divine ability!

Moreover, its quality, its power, its control over flames, and its application of laws clearly surpass its own "Burning the Heavens and Boiling the Seas"!

This completely overturned his understanding!

How could a cultivator who has just formed his core possibly possess such powerful divine abilities?!
