Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 180, a long chapter of four thousand words.

"Sizzle!"

The black claws transformed into black light, as if tearing through space itself, leaving a black streak in the air wherever they passed.

Jiuyou's speed is unimaginable.

Even someone as strong as Tian Zhen and others could see the glint in his eyes, and then the sense of danger suddenly intensified, making the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

"boom!"

A surge of powerful energy erupted from Tian Zhen and the other two almost without hesitation. Under such intense danger, they dared not be negligent in the slightest.

As the Yuan energy surged, brilliant golden light also emanated from the three of them.

Tian Zhen, Mu Shou, and Jiang Shan immediately activated their most powerful golden shields, which enveloped them like a solid object, overflowing with golden light and extremely sturdy.

Just as the three were frantically activating their defenses, Jiuyou's claws crashed down, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, they fiercely grabbed at the dazzling golden light.

"clang!"

A crisp, bell-like sound resounded across the square, followed immediately by several incredibly violent explosions.

Golden light radiated from it, and the seemingly powerful golden shield couldn't even withstand a single breath under the sharp claws of the Nine Netherworld.

Then, under the astonished gazes of many and the terrified eyes of Tian Zhen and the other two, it exploded without any hindrance!

"Bang! Bang!"

Golden light burst forth, and the three figures were thrown backward in a disheveled state, their bodies leaving three glaring marks on the square.

Finally, as he approached the edge of the square, he managed to steady himself.

"Pfft!"

However, once the body stabilizes, the internal energy bursts forth.

The three of them immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, their already pale faces turning even paler.

In the square, all eyes that were fixed on Tian Zhen and his two companions, who were in a sorry state and coughing up blood, fell silent.

Some people's faces twitched, even though they had guessed this outcome when Jiuyou appeared.

But when the situation actually occurred, they found that they still couldn't maintain the calm they had imagined.

Those are three top experts who are qualified to challenge the fifth Nirvana Tribulation!

Although their perspective was limited, they could still see just how terrifying the thing Lin Langtian had summoned was!

The three people, Tian Zhen and his companions, who had just landed, were also filled with horror. They looked up at Lin Langtian not far away, and a hint of fear flickered in their eyes.

"I won't kill you, just get out of here!"

Lin Langtian glanced indifferently at the group of people who had lost their spirits, his tone detached and devoid of emotion.

To be honest, given his original personality, these people would never have made it out.

However, relying on Jiuyou's power is merely a case of borrowing power; Jiuyou is currently in a state of slumber, and I have already warned myself not to disturb him unless absolutely necessary.

Therefore, this attempt to leverage the situation was merely a superficial gesture, and they dared not take it seriously.

With his own strength, it wouldn't be impossible for him to deal with these people, but now that he has the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, there is no need to delay any longer and risk any unforeseen changes.

"Lin Langtian, things change. We admit defeat today, but we'll settle this score another time!"

Compared to Tian Zhen's unwillingness, Mu Shou and Jiang Shan were extremely decisive and sensible.

The situation has now reversed. If they stay any longer, even if they join forces, they probably won't be able to defeat the mysterious bird summoned by Lin Langtian.

Since that's the case, we might as well just leave!

Therefore, the two got up, said a few words to Lin Langtian, and then turned and rushed out of the square.

"You win! Just you wait!"

Seeing Mu Shou and the other leave, Tian Zhen's face turned ashen. His gaze shifted for a moment, and finally, unwilling to give up, he gritted his teeth and rushed out of the square.

He wasn't stupid. The three of them were already struggling to defeat Lin Langtian, and now that his "helpers" were gone, he had no choice but to wait for death.

Everyone watched in astonishment as this single sentence drove away the three overlords.

This person has been constantly on the move since the start of the Hundred Dynasties War.

Now, he is even able to single-handedly take on three fourth-level Nirvana Realm experts without being at a disadvantage.

This is what you call a true dark horse!

"Hmph, Lin Langtian, remember this: this isn't over between us yet!"

As the three left, the tense atmosphere that had enveloped the ancient square gradually faded away.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked at the figure in mid-air again, their eyes were filled with deep fear.

They all knew very well that once word got out about what happened today, Lin Langtian's name would resound throughout the entire ancient battlefield.

Facing the many awe-inspiring gazes, Lin Langtian merely blinked slightly before calmly descending from mid-air.

With a wave of his white sleeves, the Nine Netherworlds in the sky quickly faded, eventually transforming into a dark ray of light that once again entered his Mud Plate Palace.

The plaza, now quiet after the fierce battle, fell eerily silent, as if the crowd hadn't fully recovered from the earlier saga.

"Hehe, Brother Lin Langtian is truly a man of great talent."

The first to speak was Liu Bai, who had been a spectator the whole time. He smiled slightly at Lin Langtian.

"It's just luck."

Lin Langtian didn't say anything to this person who was the most secretive among the four overlords of the Northwest region.

He was able to perceive it through his mental perception.

Liu Bai's strength is definitely superior to that of Tian Zhen and the other two.

Moreover, in the original work, this character was always a rather shrewd and calculating person who valued profit above all else.

Therefore, as long as there is no absolute conflict of interest between the two people, they are people you can befriend.

Of course, if the two ever have a conflict of interest, he will not hesitate to take action.

"In this world, there are only winners, not luck."

Yin Ming smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on Lin Langtian.

"It seems I underestimated you. I was thinking of sparring with you sometime, but now it seems there's no need for that."

"The Underworld Hand Yinming has quite a reputation in this ancient battlefield, but I'm not very optimistic about you fighting Brother Lin Langtian," Liu Bai said with a smile.

Yin Ming's lips twitched, but he remained noncommittal.

"The Hand of Hades is Dark."

Lin Langtian was slightly taken aback.

Speaking of which, it seems that dark clouds and darkness are somewhat related. Generally speaking, super dynasties with the same surname are likely to be in cahoots.

However, he had never given Yin Yun a kind look, so why did Yin Ming have no complaints about him?

"But I'm quite curious, how did you, someone who's always been hanging around in the Northeast, end up in our Northwest region? This ancient treasure is indeed extraordinary, but I've heard that there's also a rather powerful treasure in the Northeast, right?"

Liu Bai said with a smile.

"Qin Shen has his eye on that treasure in the Northeast, and it will be quite troublesome to obtain it. In comparison, the Northwest region is the weakest of the major regions, so it's natural for me to come and wander around here," Yin Ming said calmly.

Listening to their conversation, Lin Langtian gained a rough understanding of the outer perimeter of this ancient battlefield.

This ancient battlefield is filled with countless treasures.

Even treasures of the level of ancient secrets are not unique to this one place.

There are only six months left until the Great War of the Hundred Dynasties.

During this remaining time, those who wish to emerge victorious from the Hundred Dynasties War must acquire various inheritances, absorb and refine them, and gain complete control over them.

This period can be considered the best and most important time to strengthen our capabilities.

If this opportunity is missed, the subsequent real Hundred Dynasties War will be significantly affected.

Therefore, this entire ancient battlefield is now probably engulfed in a treasure hunt frenzy, and even these super dynasties are not willing to lag behind.

Similar fierce battles, like those that took place in ancient secret treasures, are likely happening one after another in various places on the ancient battlefield.

The subsequent Great War of a Hundred Dynasties was the true gathering of elites.

Standing out from countless geniuses and being noticed by those super sects is no easy feat.

Liu Bai smiled and then said no more. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the four ancient gates in the square, a fiery look gradually appearing in his eyes.

"Now that the battle is over, let's begin the most important step..."

Liu Bai stretched out his palm, and an ancient key appeared in his hand, emitting rays of light.

As the key emitted a peculiar light, even the ancient door that had remained motionless and unmoved by any means employed by others began to radiate light.

"laugh!"

The ancient key slowly floated away from Liu Bai's hand, its light growing increasingly intense. Finally, the light condensed, forming a magical rune that shone upon the tightly closed ancient gate.

"Buzz!"

As the magical rune shone upon it, the bronze gate, which had been tightly closed for countless years, finally cracked open slowly under the scorching gazes of those onlookers.

"Hehe, Brother Lin Langtian, it seems my key is the key to this bronze gate. Then let's go in first, and if there's a chance in the future, we can get together properly!"

Liu Bai stared intently at the cracked bronze gate, then smiled at Lin Langtian.

With a wave of his hand, the ancient key emitted a halo of light, enveloping the entire group.

With a final whoosh, it rushed into the bronze gate.

"Creak!"

As Liu Bai and his group entered, the bronze gate, which had opened a crack, closed tightly again, leaving many disappointed.

"Let's get started."

Seeing Liu Bai and the others successfully enter the bronze gate to receive the inheritance, Lin Langtian felt a surge of excitement and turned to smile at Lin Qing'er.

"Um."

Lin Qing'er nodded, and the two of them took out the ancient key at the same time.

Then, there were two ancient bronze doors, emitting a strange light, showing signs of opening.

At the same time, Yinming also took out the key, which resonated with the last bronze door.

Around the square, the crowd watched this scene with incredibly greedy eyes.

Some people couldn't help but breathe heavily, clearly struggling between greed and reason.

Lin Langtian seemed oblivious to the greedy gazes around him.

He simply kept his gaze fixed on the bronze gate, whose light intertwined with the key in his hand.

At this moment, he sensed an ancient fluctuation within the bronze gate, a mysterious connection that seeped out and wrapped around Lin Langtian's body.

"My legacy, perhaps?"

Lin Langtian muttered to himself, and then the ancient key in his hand condensed into an ancient rune, which was imprinted on the bronze gate.

Then, the long-sealed door finally opened slowly.

"Creak!"

At the same time, the two bronze gates between Lin Qing'er and Yin Ming gradually opened, and an ancient aura wafted out from them.

"Sister Qing'er, be careful."

The halo enveloped Lin Langtian's body.

He felt an attractive force emanating from the bronze gate, subtly pulling his body into it. He immediately turned his head and said to Lin Qing'er in a deep voice.

The two of them will then be separated for a period of time.

He will enter the Azure Dragon Palace as planned, since he is familiar with that place and it will be a good opportunity to rebuild Little Marten's physical body.

"Um!"

Lin Qing'er naturally knew the value of this ancient key, and after glancing at Lin Langtian with her beautiful eyes, she finally nodded with some reluctance!

"laugh!"

Enveloped in the light, Lin Langtian and his two companions began to float up and head towards the opened bronze gate.

"call out!"

However, just as the three set off, a dozen or so figures with blood-red eyes suddenly rushed out from the surrounding area. However, they were not launching an attack, but instead rushed directly towards the opened bronze gate.

It seems that many people still cannot resist the greed in their hearts...

"Bang! Bang!"

Lin Langtian and the other two watched quietly as the dozen or so figures rushed out, and shook their heads slightly.

If it's that easy to get in, then what's the point of the key?

In his eyes, doing this was no different from committing suicide.

Sure enough, just as those figures were about to rush into the bronze gate under everyone's watchful eyes, their bodies suddenly and without warning exploded into a mass of flesh and blood...

Blood splattered across the square, the stench of blood spreading, turning the faces of the restless crowd deathly pale.

Amidst the increasingly disappointed and dimming gazes, Lin Langtian and his two companions finally swept into the ancient bronze gate.

Then, the door creaked and slowly closed, just as it had remained unmoved since it was sealed away.
