“Emperor Huoyun, has he used all his tricks now?”
Many Eternal Realm cultivators stood rooted, eyes fixed on the arena. The scene fell quieter, as everyone could see that Emperor Xingwu’s attack was far fiercer than before.
All were eager to see how the battle would unfold!
The blinding crimson light reflected in Lin Yun’s pupils, growing at a startling speed.
“Now this is somewhat challenging, enough to make me use some serious techniques,” Lin Yun said, his face showing no fear, only excitement.
“Heavenly Origin Sword Technique, Third Form, Vast Ocean Form!”
Gripping his treasured sword, Lin Yun channelled torrents of inner energy, then slashed, unleashing an astonishing strike!
The Heavenly Origin Sword Technique had five forms, with high entry requirements. Even the first form was immensely powerful.
After reaching the Third-Level Myriad Realm, Lin Yun had secluded himself to train his swordsmanship, mastering the third form of the Heavenly Origin Sword Technique during that time!
Amplified by his divine sense, origin-grade physical body, Special-Grade Blue Dragon Technique, and Dragon Claw, this sword’s power reached a terrifying pinnacle!
Whoosh!
The unleashed sword strike transformed into a vast oceanic wave, carrying a mountain-swallowing momentum, with a roaring golden dragon phantom within. It clashed instantly with the surging crimson light!
Boom!
A deafening roar erupted as a terrifying storm swept the arena, rushing with unstoppable force against the barrier encasing it, making it tremble wildly. The entire Moonlit Terrace shook violently!
The crimson light conjured by Emperor Xingwu was swallowed and annihilated by Lin Yun’s ocean-like attack!
The remaining force of the vast wave surged relentlessly towards Emperor Xingwu.
“What!?”
Emperor Xingwu’s face paled as he hurriedly swung his heavy blade to defend.
Boom!
The energy storm, like a river bursting its banks, slammed into Emperor Xingwu.
“Ah!”
Under the terrifying force, Emperor Xingwu screamed, his body hurled backwards, crashing heavily to the ground in a dishevelled state.
At that moment, the entire arena fell into dead silence.
Everyone knew that in this clash, Emperor Xingwu had been utterly defeated.
This was likely the final outcome.
In other words, Emperor Xingwu had lost this match!
This result was something no Eternal Realm cultivator present had anticipated!
This result was enough to convince every Eternal Realm cultivator in attendance!
They finally understood why Lin Yun dared to challenge Emperor Xingwu!
“He won… Lin Yun won…”
“This guy isn’t a madman; he truly has the strength!”
“This lad is beyond monstrous…”
“From today, Lin Yun will enter the top ten of the Heavenly God Palace, becoming a true top-tier powerhouse!”
…
Gasps and exclamations filled the air.
“Haha, he won! Big Brother won!”
“Father won!!!”
“Lin Yun… defeated Emperor Xingwu…”
Lin Yun’s daughter and friends were overwhelmed with excitement.
To them, Emperor Xingwu was an impossibly powerful figure, one they never dared imagine Lin Yun could defeat.
Once again, Lin Yun had shattered their expectations.
Lin Yun had also overturned the perceptions of every Eternal Realm cultivator present!
Such a feat, if not witnessed firsthand, who would believe it? Who would dare imagine it?
“Lin Yun, he… he…”
Dongguo Wuji, Dongguo Ying, and the Eternal Realm cultivators of the Huoyun Empire were stunned, their hearts reeling with shock!
Lin Yun had grown this strong?
They felt utterly inferior!
“My disciple has reached such heights,” Emperor Huoyun sighed, his heart brimming with awe.
Even he hadn’t expected Lin Yun to defeat Emperor Xingwu.
As for Empress Kunlan, her expression was frozen, as if petrified, sitting motionless in her chair, her flickering eyes betraying the tremor in her heart.
In the front row of the audience.
“It seems this guy truly has the strength to slay two Seventh-Level Heavenly Demons. I finally believe it now. This guy is too monstrous!” Deputy Palace Master Yao stroked his beard, sighing.
Lin Yun’s performance shocked even Yao, overturning his understanding that a Myriad Realm cultivator could unleash such terrifying power.
“This guy’s brilliance far exceeds my expectations. No wonder… no wonder…” Song Lin sighed repeatedly.
He finally understood why Lin Yun, a newly ascended Eternal Realm cultivator, was chosen as the Human Emperor’s named disciple.
On the arena.
Blood stained the corner of Emperor Xingwu’s mouth.
“Your Majesty, you’ve lost. If this were a real battle and I pressed my attack, you’d likely be dead,” Lin Yun said calmly, standing with his sword behind his back, gazing at Emperor Xingwu.
Though Emperor Xingwu was a top-tier First-Level Myriad Realm cultivator, to Lin Yun, defeating him was about as difficult as defeating the Seventh-Level Heavenly Demon Feihuo back then.
Now that Lin Yun had reached the Third-Level Myriad Realm, it was even easier.
This outcome was entirely within Lin Yun’s expectations.
Emperor Xingwu slowly stood, wiping the blood from his mouth.
“Lin Yun, I must admit, your growth speed far exceeds my expectations. In just over a decade at the Heavenly God Palace, you’ve reached such heights,” Emperor Xingwu said, his eyes still filled with undiminished shock.
Then, his tone shifted, “But do you think that’s all I have?”
As he spoke, his face twisted with ferocity.
Lin Yun was puzzled by his words when a far stronger aura erupted from Emperor Xingwu, sweeping the entire arena!
“What? Second-Level Dominator Realm!”
“Emperor Xingwu has reached the Second-Level Dominator Realm?”
“He hid it so well!”
The Eternal Realm cultivators, sensing his true realm, erupted in an uproar.
“Now, doesn’t this change the match’s momentum?”
“Who’d have thought this match would have so many twists? It’s getting more interesting.”
…
Everyone understood that with Emperor Xingwu revealing his true realm, the battle’s tide would likely shift again.
“Xingwu has reached the Second-Level Dominator Realm? He was suppressing his realm all along!” Huoyun’s face changed.
