The gray-robed Immortal nodded, extending his hand with fingers spread, grasping toward Lin Yun from afar.
Buzz!
Five beams of light twisted space, surging toward Lin Yun with a roar, collapsing the space in their path.
Inside the spiritual repository, only Tribulation Realm cultivators could enter, allowing Lin Yun to dominate fearlessly.
But outside, it was different. The intervention of an Immortal plunged Lin Yun into a desperate situation!
“Is this my final tribulation?” Lin Yun stared at the terrifying attack.
The Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations were trials every cultivator faced, and many perished in them.
Emperor Huoyun had once said Lin Yun had passed two of his three calamities, with one remaining.
Each calamity was exponentially more dangerous and deadly.
The third was the most perilous, the hardest to overcome.
“Master, let me handle this!”
Big Bear, standing beside Lin Yun, surged with dark energy and lunged forward, meeting the Immortal’s attack head-on.
Boom!
A deafening roar accompanied a tidal wave of energy.
With all its might, Big Bear barely blocked the gray-robed Immortal’s attack.
The Immortal’s brow furrowed.
“Get lost!”
He swung a palm, conjuring a massive hand shadow in the air, roaring toward Big Bear.
Boom!
Even with its full resistance, Big Bear was sent flying a kilometer away.
“Big Bear!” Lin Yun exclaimed.
“Worry about yourself!”
The gray-robed Immortal raised his hand again, an invisible force, vast as an ocean, enveloping Lin Yun.
Lin Yun’s face changed. The surrounding force bound him, as if the space itself were invisible ropes, trapping him tightly.
“You can’t bind me! Break!”
Lin Yun roared hysterically, summoning all his strength to break free.
With maximum effort, his face flushed, veins bulging on his neck and forehead, eyes bloodshot.
“A mere ant, trying to break my bindings? Laughable!” the gray-robed Immortal sneered.
“Hm?”
At that moment, the space around Lin Yun trembled violently.
“Break!!!” Lin Yun roared madly.
The binding weakened rapidly, clearly about to be shattered by Lin Yun.
“Damn it!”
The Immortal’s brow furrowed, stunned that this kid could unleash such astonishing power.
He extended his hand again, five radiant beams shooting from his fingertips, enveloping Lin Yun and trapping him.
“Aaah!”
Lin Yun roared, struggling with all his might, but he could no longer break free.
“Haha, that’s it! Let me kill him myself!”
Prince Yi, grinning with excitement, dove toward Lin Yun.
“Lin Yun, I’ll block him!”
Elder Yan rushed to intercept Prince Yi.
But the gray-robed Immortal flicked a finger, and Elder Yan spat blood, sent flying.
“Elder Yan!” Lin Yun shouted, helpless.
At that moment, Prince Yi reached Lin Yun.
Arms crossed, Prince Yi sneered viciously, “Kid, how’s it feel? Scared? You’re now fish on my chopping block. Kneel and beg, and I might consider sparing you!”
Lin Yun grinned savagely, “A spineless coward like you? You’re not worthy!”
His words dripped with mockery and humiliation.
“You bastard!”
Prince Yi, enraged, snapped, “I don’t believe you’re not scared!”
He drew a sword and thrust it toward Lin Yun’s heart.
Boom!
The sword struck Lin Yun’s chest but didn’t pierce.
Lin Yun’s physical strength, bolstered by the Frost Heart, was formidable. Plus, Prince Yi, without his Heaven-level weapon, used only a Supreme-level sword. Having relied on his Heaven-level weapon, he carried no Sacred-level ones, so his strength was greatly diminished.
“Prince Yi, I can’t move, and you still can’t seriously injure me? You’re truly pathetic!” Lin Yun sneered.
“I don’t believe it!”
“Take this!”
Humiliated and furious, Prince Yi unleashed his full strength, striking Lin Yun repeatedly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The attacks rained down on Lin Yun’s chest.
The Frost Heart, fluid-like, covered his body. Even when breached, it wriggled and healed, unlike typical armor that stayed damaged once broken.
“Master, let me out!” Xiao Bai’s urgent voice echoed in Lin Yun’s mind.
“No, stay put. If I die, hide!” Lin Yun transmitted firmly.
But as soon as he spoke, Xiao Bai emerged from the Green Vine Gourd space.
“How dare you hurt my master! Stop!”
Xiao Bai roared angrily, attacking Prince Yi.
Caught off guard, Prince Yi hastily defended with his sword but was still forced back.
The next moment, Xiao Bai glowed brilliantly, charging at the gray-robed Immortal.
“Foolish beast!”
The Immortal snorted coldly, striking with a palm.
“Xiao Bai!!!”
Lin Yun’s eyes widened, his heart in his throat.
He hadn’t expected Xiao Bai to charge at the Immortal.
Boom!
The attack hit Xiao Bai, who sprayed blood and plummeted.
“Master, Xiao Bai… Xiao Bai tried…” Xiao Bai’s weak voice echoed in Lin Yun’s mind.
“Break!”
Lin Yun’s eyes blazed red, roaring as he struggled, but he couldn’t escape.
Prince Yi returned to Lin Yun.
“No one can save you, you mongrel!” Prince Yi roared, resuming his assault.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The attacks fell like rain.
Cough.
Under the barrage, Lin Yun tasted blood but swallowed it, glaring without letting a drop spill!
His chest bore some wounds.
After swallowing the blood, Lin Yun snarled, “Prince Yi, save your strength! You can’t kill me. I can’t believe the Tianqian royal clan raised a failure like you! If you’ve got the guts, end it quickly!”
“You… you…”
Prince Yi was so enraged he nearly lost his mind.
Having never faced such humiliation, how could he endure it?
He roared hysterically, “Fine, you wait! I’ll make you die now!”
He pulled back, shouting furiously.
“Uncle Yan, do it! Kill him!”
The gray-robed Immortal nodded slowly, raising his hand, a golden orb of light rapidly forming in his palm!
