Boom!
At that moment, a figure streaked across the sky at high speed, producing a thunderous roar that shook the air.
Lin Yi quickly looked up and saw a figure so familiar it could not be more so.
“Father!”
Lin Yi’s eyes widened. Wasn’t that his father?
But he had seen with his own eyes his father being killed by the Demon Marshal!
Lin Yi was instantly stunned, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
In the air.
“Di Jiang!”
Lin Yun hovered in the sky, shouting towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
His voice, infused with immense inner strength, rolled like thunder, instantly spreading into the mountain range.
Di Jiang had just tossed Lin Yi aside and was about to leave when he heard the deafening shout.
“This is…”
Hearing the voice, Di Jiang was startled. The voice was all too familiar.
He quickly turned to look, and in the sky a few kilometres away, Lin Yun stood with his hands behind his back.
“Lin… Lin Yun!?”
Seeing Lin Yun’s figure, Di Jiang’s eyes widened in shock, his mind buzzing, completely dumbfounded!
What was going on?
Wasn’t Lin Yun dead? He had personally witnessed the Demon Marshal kill him!
“Who… who are you?” Di Jiang stammered after a moment, unable to believe the figure before him was Lin Yun.
“What, Di Jiang, you can’t even recognise your grandpa Lin Yun?” Lin Yun’s voice boomed like a bell.
“But, but… weren’t you dead!” Di Jiang stared at Lin Yun in utter shock, still bewildered.
What on earth was happening!
“Dead? You think your demon clan can kill your grandpa so easily? The one you killed was just a clone, Di Jiang. You fell for it, haha!”
Lin Yun’s laughter echoed through the clouds, piercingly grating to Di Jiang’s ears.
Now that his son was safe, Lin Yun had no fear of revealing himself.
Even if he didn’t show up now, once he went to the Dragon Clan, the demon clan would still learn he wasn’t dead.
Since they’d find out eventually, why not appear now and rile them up?
Though it might not hurt the demon clan much, it was certainly humiliating!
“A clone? We… we were tricked?”
Di Jiang felt as if struck by lightning, his face contorted as if he’d eaten something vile.
The one who died was a clone?
Though it sounded absurd, Lin Yun’s survival was undeniable—he stood alive and well before him.
The psychological blow to Di Jiang was immense!
“Di Jiang, since I’m not dead, today is your end!”
Lin Yun turned into a streak of light, rushing towards Di Jiang. A few kilometres was but a blink of an eye.
“Nine Star Pagoda!”
As Lin Yun approached Di Jiang, the Nine Star Pagoda appeared in his hand.
Boom!
The Nine Star Pagoda expanded instantly, a beam of light shooting out, enveloping Di Jiang and sucking him into the pagoda.
With Di Jiang’s strength, he couldn’t resist the pagoda’s pull.
Lin Yun swiftly followed into the Nine Star Pagoda.
“Lord Di Jiang was sucked into that pagoda!”
Whoosh!
Many demon clan warriors at the border of the Demon Beast Mountain Range immediately flew into the air.
“Quick, everyone, attack the pagoda!”
The demon beasts launched attacks on the Nine Star Pagoda.
However, their strength was far too weak to affect it.
The demon clan border usually had some guards, but their strength was low, not even at the Heavenly Demon level. This was why Lin Yun dared to launch a sudden attack on Di Jiang here.
The human race also didn’t station Eternal Realm cultivators at this border, only Tribulation Realm cultivators to guard against the demon clan’s sneak attacks or small-scale offensives.
While attacking the pagoda, the demon warriors sent out a level-two distress signal, alerting that the demon clan border was under attack and requesting reinforcements.
After all, Lin Yun had crossed the border. The pagoda was within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, even if only by less than a kilometre—it was still a violation!
Inside the Nine Star Pagoda.
“Damn it, what… what is this place!” Di Jiang looked around in panic, the environment clearly unfavourable to him.
“Di Jiang, this is your graveyard,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Lin Yun, even if you’re not dead, you think you can defeat me so easily? You’ve only been in the Eternal Realm for a mere decade or so. I may not be able to beat you, but I can definitely hold you off until demon clan reinforcements arrive, and then you’re done for!” Di Jiang said confidently.
“Haha, Di Jiang, you think you’re still a match for me? You’re gravely mistaken!”
Lin Yun laughed heartily, his inner strength surging forth.
“What? Second… Second Layer Mahayana realm!?”
“How… how is this possible!?”
Sensing Lin Yun’s realm, Di Jiang’s heart surged with shock, his voice turning shrill.
He had always thought Lin Yun was still in the Eternal Realm, at best at the peak of the Third Layer Eternal Realm.
After all, Lin Yun had only been in the Eternal Realm for so long. Reaching the Mahayana realm should take at least a millennium!
In just over a decade, Lin Yun had reached the Mahayana realm? What kind of joke was that!
Lin Yun had no intention of wasting words. He raised his palm, a red glow spreading out, forming a massive palm shadow.
“Cang Lei Palm!”
As the massive palm shadow solidified into an almost tangible form, it shot towards Di Jiang with astonishing speed.
Boom!
Where the palm shadow passed, the pagoda’s space trembled.
In such a confined space, Di Jiang had nowhere to dodge. His scaly, sturdy arms struck out swiftly.
Bang!
With a deafening explosion, the massive palm shadow Lin Yun had formed burst apart, its terrifying power flooding out like a tidal wave.
In the violent blast, Di Jiang’s body was sent flying uncontrollably, blood spewing from his mouth, before crashing into the ground with a thud.
Lying on the ground, Di Jiang was drenched in blood, utterly dishevelled, his aura greatly weakened, clearly heavily injured.
Di Jiang’s strength was roughly equivalent to a human Eternal Realm cultivator, perhaps with slightly stronger defence due to the demon clan’s natural advantage.
When Lin Yun wasn’t yet in the Eternal Realm, Di Jiang’s assassination attempts had indeed threatened his life.
But now, having reached the Second Layer Mahayana realm, killing Di Jiang was effortless.
Lin Yun now stood before Di Jiang.
“Di Jiang, you once used Soul-Breaking Poison on me, nearly killing me. But I suppose I should thank you, as that poison brought about a great change in me,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
