With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

Rumble!

Above Jiangcheng, the wind and clouds swirled, and billowing black mist pressed down, a terrifying pressure as heavy as a mountain descended, actually tearing a corner of the Jiangcheng formation open. The void collapsed, and a middle-aged man in a black robe with a cold face stood in the air, his eyes purple, and his body was marked with dark Dao patterns. Although he was standing right in front of everyone, he gave people the feeling of being hidden in the void.

The newcomer was none other than the Pavilion Master of the Eternal Silence Pavilion, a veteran powerhouse who had long since pledged allegiance to the Shadow Erosion Clan. In fact, he could no longer be considered human, having undergone a complete transformation by fusing with the blood essence of a different race.

Otherwise, he would never have been able to break through to the peak of the fifth rank!

"Li Cang, stop! Your opponent is me, a person from the secret realm. My fate is sealed; no one can save me!"

The Pavilion Master of Yongji Pavilion spoke indifferently, yet with an irresistible force of authority. His peak fifth-tier power locked onto Li Cang, forcing him to remain in place and deal with this formidable opponent.

"Eternal Silence Pavilion, Blood Sacrifice Cult, Bone-Dry Path, you are all doing very well!"

Li Cang's eyes were bloodshot, his killing intent soaring to the sky. His knuckles clenched so tightly they turned white as he exerted all his strength to unleash his life's cultivation. His vast blood energy surged wildly as he raised his hand and hurled a mountain-embracing seal at the Pavilion Master of the Eternal Silence Pavilion.

However, the Pavilion Master of Yongji Pavilion was not afraid at all. With a flash, he disappeared without a trace, like an assassin who had activated stealth. He was silent and stealthy, but contained the most deadly killing intent. Once he activated it, even someone as strong as Li Cang would be seriously injured!

Moreover, his purpose in appearing here was not necessarily to kill this Great Xia State Protector, but to slow him down.

Just when everyone thought that the ancient battlefield was about to fall completely and that the three thousand prodigies were facing a life-or-death crisis, the scene that had just occurred happened.

Lin Yan stood alone in mid-air, protecting everyone with the Devouring Heaven Array Pattern, and suppressing all the warriors from the three major forces with his vast divine power.

It's a completely one-sided situation!

"Give it to me, swallow it!"

With a hum, Lin Yan activated the Devouring Heaven Treasure Bottle, pointing the bottle's mouth at the three major forces' warriors who looked like dead fish. His face was extremely indifferent, as if he didn't consider them human at all.

In an instant, an endless and violent power descended, immediately engulfing these people and frantically devouring their life essence, transforming it into strands of pure life essence that flowed continuously into Lin Yan's body, where it was refined by him.

The Heavenly Bridge, stretching across the Sea of ​​Bitterness and leading directly to the other shore, radiated dazzling golden light, drawing in a massive amount of life essence and extending inch by inch, causing the aura and pressure emanating from Lin Yan to become increasingly powerful.

His cultivation at the fourth level of perfection was completely exposed to the world!

"Freak! Monster! Pervert!"

For a moment, a group of young prodigies exclaimed in surprise, especially Bai Chen and Xiao Qingxuan, who seemed to be greatly shocked every time they saw Lin Yan.

When we first met, he was only at the second rank, but he broke through to the third rank in a very short time. Now, he has directly reached the fourth rank perfection and possesses a martial will (divine sense) that would make even a fifth-rank national guardian shiver!

"The difference between people is actually greater than the difference between people and dogs!"

That being said, with such a "senior level expert" at the forefront, one has to admit that the sense of security is overwhelming.

"Wait a minute, he's always fought against opponents of higher ranks before. Could his actual combat strength have already reached the level of a national protector?"

Just then, someone suddenly thought of something and spoke up.

The next second, they saw Lin Yan move.

He took a step forward, and his figure immediately emerged from the secret realm passage, reappearing above Jiangcheng. His surging and vast divine sense swept across, easily pinpointing the location of the Eternal Silence Pavilion Master.

The Pavilion Master's Shadow Talent, which he relied on to kill enemies after joining the Shadow Erosion Clan, was completely exposed in front of Lin Yan!

His figure emerged from the void, his gaze fixed on Lin Yan with a hint of solemnity, though not much. After all, in his preconceived notions, the gap between the fourth-order perfect realm and the fifth-order national realm was an insurmountable chasm. No matter how brilliant he was, the gap in their realms was insurmountable.

"A mere fourth-tier cultivator, even with the power of martial will, dares to dream of fighting beyond his level like a low-level cultivator? That's wishful thinking! Besides, I've already undergone the transformation by the Shadow Erosion Clan's essence blood, making me invincible among those of the same tier. Today, I will capture and kill you along with me, and present you to the Lord!"

"Noisy."

A crack appeared between Lin Yan's brows, as if a golden eye had opened, from which streams of golden divine power flowed out, converging into a blazing primordial spirit heavenly blade. He became increasingly proficient in wielding the "Former Word Secret," and behind him stood the illusory figure of an ancient celestial being, radiating wisps of supreme divine might.

"cut!"

The word fell, its resounding power unparalleled.

The primordial spirit celestial blade, refined to its utmost, suddenly tore through the sky. Its pure divine power cleaved through layers of shadowy light, seemingly capable of severing the past, present, and future, containing terrifying divine power capable of destroying the world.

Upon seeing this, the Pavilion Master of Eternal Silence immediately changed his expression, his pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time since he broke through to the fifth level, he felt fear from the depths of his soul. He then roared, as if to bolster his own power, and frantically unleashed his Shadow Divine Power.

The dark Dao patterns imprinted on his body flickered, and his blood, spiritual power, and martial will were boiling. Every inch of his flesh was spewing out billowing black mist, which transformed into a colossal shadow beast above his head, covering the sky and biting at the falling Yuan Shen Heavenly Blade, trying to obliterate this divine soul attack with the Dao of Shadow.

boom!

The golden blade clashed with the dark beast, causing the heavens and earth to groan and the void to ripple with brilliant light. The shockwave caused the Jiangcheng formation to tremble and crack, nearly exploding completely under the aftershocks.

At that time, it is unknown how many innocent people will be implicated.

when!

Fortunately, Li Cang intervened in time, using the Golden Ancient Pagoda to stabilize the formation, and further used the Mountain Embracing Seal he had previously unleashed to shatter the ripples of the Great Dao, obliterating all the scattered impacts.

"Goodness, just one seclusion and I don't even need to go into the fifth-tier battlefield?"

Li Cang couldn't help but sigh, feeling a sense of melancholy, like the Yangtze River where the new waves push the old waves forward, and the old waves die on the beach. Lin Yan's breakthrough speed was simply unreasonable!

Wang Jianjun, Lin Qingshan, and others have experienced this feeling more than once.

"Impossible! You're only at the fourth rank, how could you possibly possess a will stronger than a peak fifth rank?!"

The Pavilion Master of Yongji Pavilion roared fiercely, his face filled with horror. He exerted all his strength to activate his Shadow Divine Power, which transformed into endless shadow claws that grabbed at Lin Yan's crown. The dark patterns on his body seemed to ignite a layer of raging black flames, which was extremely terrifying.

But Lin Yan remained calm and composed as he performed the secret of the previous character. At the same time, the Ten Thousand Dao Stele hung above his head, with Emperor characters in the sky like endless suns illuminating all directions.
