After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

And at that very moment.

The shadowy figure of the Soul Devourer Clan moved.

It's been waiting for this moment.

Lin Yuan had just experienced the ninth lightning strike, and his body was still being reshaped, with his soul and body in their most vulnerable state.

Now is the best time to take action.

The shadowy figure expanded rapidly, like ink entering water, starting from the sea of ​​consciousness and frantically penetrating deeper and deeper.

He wanted to seize control of Lin Yuan's position.

"Lin Yuan! Come with me..."

Before it could finish speaking, it collided with the newly formed law.

The purple power of law unfolded in his sea of ​​consciousness, countless patterns of order swirling and transforming into chains that shot down from the void.

The law is named "Suppressing the Abyss," and it belongs to the category of restrictions.

Using the power of laws as a lock, its main function is to suppress enemies.

Those within the sea of ​​knowledge are naturally acceptable as well.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

"I've been waiting for you."

The voice of the Soul Devourer's shadowy figure grew louder.

"Lin Yuan, how dare you!"

"You think you can control me?"

Lin Yuan didn't speak, but instead focused all his energy on activating Zhenyuan.

Purple chains appeared out of thin air, emerging from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, and tightly bound the dark figure.

However, this thing has a major limitation.

Once Zhenyuan is activated, it will remain there indefinitely.

This law cannot be used until the object of suppression is completely destroyed.

In other words, Lin Yuan wasted one of the law feedbacks from the Emperor's Road Tribulation.

I also wasted a spot for a memorial service.

This is a considerable price to pay for a company like Tianjiao, which is on the rise.

But Lin Yuan didn't care.

Because as long as you leave the Emperor's Road and return to the Void Spirit Realm.

The Celestial Emperor in the family has plenty of ways to get this thing out of his body.

I'll suppress you first.

We'll discuss that later.

These things happened in the blink of an eye.

Qinglian stood behind Lin Chu, her eyes wide, and spoke.

"The aura of the Devourer Clan is slowly fading away."

Lin Chu also sensed it.

The uncomfortable aura he had sensed from Lin Yuan had completely disappeared.

My tense shoulders finally relaxed.

Although the method of transcending tribulation was dangerous, it was ultimately successful.

Lin Yuan landed from the air, looking somewhat disheveled.

But there was a smile in her eyes.

"Alright."

"It's alright now."

Lin Chu also smiled.

Before he could speak, a loud shout came from afar.

Lin Che.

He had gone out to gather information before, and it was because he sensed the aura of lightning tribulation in this direction that he rushed back.

While still in mid-air, they witnessed Lin Yuan successfully transcending his tribulation.

The sound arrived before the person even landed.

"Holy crap! Dude! That's awesome!"

Lin Che rushed over and saw that although Lin Yuan was in a sorry state, his aura had changed drastically, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know exactly what happened, only that his elder brother had successfully survived the tribulation.

Then look at Lin Chu, then at Lin Yuan.

The three brothers exchanged a glance and then smiled.

But suddenly.

Lin Yuan's smile froze.

Without warning, black energy once again emanated from his body.

His face turned pale, his body went limp, and he knelt down on one knee.

At the same time, the voice of the Soul Devouring Clan shadow within Lin Yuan's body came through, chilling to the bone.

"you……"

"That's a gross underestimation of the Immortal Lord."

Lin Che's expression changed drastically.

"Big brother!"

Lin Chu frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

"Brother! Relax!"

Lin Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids.

My mind relaxed.

He knew all too well what it meant to relax at this moment.

The Soul Devouring Clan could break through Zhenyuan at any time.

Once he breaks through, Lin Yuan's control over his body will be immediately taken away.

But Lin Yuan didn't hesitate for even a moment.

He had previously been frustrated that Lin Chu trusted him too much.

But aren't I the same?

At this moment, Lin Chu's array-like laws were activated once again.

The pale golden patterns seeped into Lin Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness along Lin Chu's palm.

The power of two laws, one internal and one external, pressed down simultaneously.

The expansion of the Soul Devouring Clan's shadowy figure was abruptly cut off, as if its neck had been choked, tightening more and more.

"You bastard!"

"You can't keep me under control for long!"

The voice was filled with suppressed frustration and resentment.

He, a dignified Immortal Lord, was completely outmaneuvered by two juniors.

Lin Chu ignored it.

With one hand forming a hand seal, he channeled his spiritual energy outwards as if it were free.

As the sound grew weaker, it eventually disappeared completely.

Lin Yuan then let out a long breath.

Lin Che, standing to the side, looked worried.

"It's alright now."

Lin Yuan gave him a reassuring look.

Lin Che finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Chu's expression remained solemn.

"Suppressing it like this is not a long-term solution."

"We still need to find a way to solve this completely."

Lin Yuan and Lin Che exchanged a glance and suddenly burst into laughter at the same time.

Lin Chu was completely bewildered by their laughter.

"No, what are you two laughing at?"

Lin Che wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Now that it's been suppressed, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Just go home and let Ancestor Wujiu take care of it, and that'll be fine!"

Lin Chu was taken aback.

He then slapped his forehead.

Holy crap.

That's right.

How could I have forgotten about this?

The journey back to Tianlan City won't take that long.

With the Celestial Emperor present, let alone a suppressed Celestial Lord's fragmented soul, even a complete Celestial Lord would have to kneel and speak.

Lin Yuan straightened up, looked at Lin Chu, and his eyes showed a hint of regret.

"It's just that I can't continue walking this road with you from now on."

After saying that, he glanced at Jian Li.

A sentence suddenly popped out.

"But then again, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether I'm here or not."

Jian Li raised an eyebrow and subconsciously straightened up.

Lin Chu's lips twitched.

"Brother, what are you saying?"

Lin Yuan glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Don't play dumb, you know the truth in your heart."

……

The thirty-sixth level of the Imperial Road.

Ye Chen carried the heavily injured and unconscious Sikong Jian on his back, flying at full speed over a sea area.

Blood kept oozing from the corner of his mouth, drifting in the wind.

The usual carefree smile was gone from his face.

"Brother Sikong, do you think if I dumped you on them now, it would attract their attention?"

No one responded.

Sikong Jian lay on his back, his face pale, his eyes closed, and his breath extremely weak.

"If things really come to a dead end, I will definitely abandon you, but you can't blame me."

Muttering to himself, Ye Chen spat out another mouthful of blood.

"I told you to go with Lin Chu and the others, but you insisted on doing it on your own."

"You arrogant jerk, you jinx."

He kept cursing under his breath, but his pace didn't slow down at all.

Far behind, a royal carriage carried by four skeletons followed at a leisurely pace.

The four skeletons were entirely black, and with each step they took, the void trembled.

The imperial carriage was made entirely of white bone, with long, dark red banners hanging from its four corners that moved without wind.

"I can't fail here."

"I need to go home."

A fierce glint appeared in Ye Chen's eyes, and a drop of blood welled up on his forehead.

The next instant, his speed suddenly increased dramatically, and he sped off toward the distant horizon.

A soft exclamation came from inside the imperial carriage behind them.

"Um?"
