This technique made Lin Yun’s inner force innately stronger than that of other cultivators at the same realm.
Especially after the Source Tree gained four Hearts of the Source, the tree itself had been greatly strengthened. The inner force enhancement it provided was naturally far greater than when it had only two Hearts of the Source.
Even the Heart of the Power Source that Lin Yun wielded was much stronger than during the peak competition. This too benefited from the newly added Hearts of the Source making the Source Tree more powerful.
The stronger the Source Tree became, the greater the effect of each individual Heart of the Source.
Lin Yun’s words grated harshly on the God-Slaying Gate Master’s ears.
As a Golden Supreme and the Gate Master, with countless disciples of the God-Slaying Gate now witnessing this battle, if he truly failed to subdue Lin Yun, where could he put his face as Gate Master?
“Hmph, arrogant and overbearing. As Gate Master of the God-Slaying Gate, do you really think this is the extent of my strength?” The God-Slaying Gate Master’s expression turned icy cold.
“God-Slaying Slash, Phantom Shadows!”
The God-Slaying Gate Master surged forward violently. Multiple afterimages instantly appeared around his battle blade. With each afterimage that emerged, the condensed power on the long blade grew even stronger.
“Lin Yun, die!”
As the power gathered, the battle blade in the God-Slaying Gate Master’s hand once again transformed into blood light and swept murderously towards Lin Yun.
Facing such a ferocious strike, Lin Yun showed no intention of fear or retreat. There was only mad battle intent.
“Time to see its power.”
“Mixed Origin Hand, fourth layer!”
Golden light flashed instantly on the arm Lin Yun used to hold his sword, as if cast from pure gold. An immense force gathered within that arm.
“Three Suns Slash!”
The moment the Mixed Origin Hand activated, the precious sword in Lin Yun’s hand met the attack head-on.
Boom!
Under the gaze of countless God-Slaying Gate disciples, sword light and blood radiance intersected in the air, dazzling and brilliant. Terrifying energy erupted like a volcano, sweeping in all directions. The entire God-Slaying Gate shook as if struck by a violent earthquake.
Buildings on the back mountain collapsed continuously under the dreadful fluctuations.
And within the aerial battlefield.
The fearsome shockwave even forced the God-Slaying Gate Master to retreat some distance through the air.
Lin Yun’s strike not only allowed him to recover from disadvantage but even established a slight edge.
“How can this be?!”
Intense shock surged in the eyes of countless God-Slaying Gate disciples.
Even after their Gate Master had erupted to such an extent, Lin Yun still held some advantage?
Though they had long heard of Lin Yun’s deeds, witnessing his terror with their own eyes this time still delivered a tremendous psychological blow.
This fellow was monstrous to such a degree.
In the air.
“You… you…”
The God-Slaying Gate Master’s face darkened.
His gaze towards Lin Yun was now filled with shock, and raging waves churned in his heart.
Though Lin Yun’s attack had only forced him back slightly and caused no substantial injury.
It still left his mind unable to calm for a long time.
He could not comprehend how a newly advanced supreme like Lin Yun could be this powerful.
Although Lin Yun’s championship win in Chaos Valley had already made him view Lin Yun differently.
Only in this moment did he truly realise how terrifying Lin Yun was.
No wonder even the Heavenly Dao had singled him out by name for destruction.
“God-Slaying Gate Master, you cannot kill me. Today you can only let me leave. If you insist on keeping me, and force me into a corner, your God-Slaying Gate will pay a price today!” Lin Yun’s voice rang out powerfully.
Lin Yun also knew that with the great array now enveloping the God-Slaying Gate, escaping on his own would not be easy due to the array’s obstruction.
If Lin Yun unleashed attacks to break the array, with his supreme strength he should be able to breach it, though it would inevitably take some time.
Once Lin Yun began breaking the array, the God-Slaying Gate Master would surely attack him. If Lin Yun engaged, he could not continue shattering the array.
Therefore, the best outcome was if the God-Slaying Gate Master willingly let him depart.
“Lin Yun, I must admit your strength has surprised me greatly, but you do not think I have already revealed all my trump cards and have no way to deal with you, do you?” The God-Slaying Gate Master’s tone was frigid.
In the next instant, a powerful wave of qi burst violently from within the God-Slaying Gate Master’s body. His strength surged upward once more.
“Lin Yun, the moment of your defeat has arrived!”
The God-Slaying Gate Master’s figure flashed, transforming into a streak of flowing light as he charged forward. His long blade gathered an even more ferocious attack, tearing through heaven and earth as it swept horizontally towards Lin Yun.
