Just because of what happened before, it actually alarmed the Palace Lord of the Nether Palace to come in person? This is simply unbelievable.
An Yun had made a move earlier, forcing the elder of the Nether Palace to scram. According to Lin Yun’s guess, even if that elder might call for reinforcements to seek revenge, it should not alarm the Palace Lord of the Nether Palace to come personally.
Logically speaking, someone of the Palace Lord’s level would normally sit in charge at the Nether Palace. Unless it was something particularly major, he should not leave the Nether Palace easily.
How could he come to the Ancestral Heart Realm in person for such a small matter?
Yet a Supreme Realm powerhouse was right in front of Lin Yun.
“It is actually the Palace Lord of the Nether Palace…” Beside him, An Yun was also shocked, her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.
“Young Master, run quickly! I will hold him back!” An Yun, coming back to her senses, immediately shouted towards Lin Yun.
“This Palace Lord has come in person, none of you can escape!” The Palace Lord of the Nether Palace’s tone was icy cold and terrifying, making listeners’ hair stand on end.
After his words fell, the Palace Lord of the Nether Palace immediately raised his hand and struck out with a palm from afar.
Boom!
This casual palm from him instantly gathered into a massive palm print in mid-air, carrying a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering terrifying power, and instantly smashed towards Lin Yun and An Yun!
Wherever the palm print passed, the heavens and earth trembled, space roared and collapsed!
Lin Yun’s eyes widened round, the corners almost tearing open. Facing such a terrifying attack, Lin Yun felt only deep powerlessness.
The speed of this palm was astonishingly fast, almost reaching Lin Yun and An Yun in an instant, not giving the two any time to react.
Boom!
The palm print smashed viciously onto Lin Yun and An Yun’s bodies. The terrifying power contained within it, like a towering wave, crashed onto the two, almost instantly tearing Lin Yun’s entire body apart, including his head!
“Aaah!”
Before he was torn apart, Lin Yun let out a shrill scream, and the scene before his eyes instantly blurred.
Was he dead just like that?
Had his journey to the ancestral land ended completely like this?
His wish to resurrect his mother, Wang Xue, and his loved ones had not been fulfilled.
His aspiration to confront the Heavenly Dao and change the impending destruction of the cultivation continent’s epoch had also not been achieved.
Could it be that he had died full of regrets like this?
Unwilling, yet powerless…
First floor of the golden pagoda.
Lin Yun’s whole body shivered, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
“What is going on!”
“I… how am I back in this golden pagoda?”
Lin Yun looked at the surroundings. Was this not the golden pagoda from that space earlier?
He was still standing on the first floor of the golden pagoda.
“Huff huff…”
“Could it be… could it be that what just happened was an illusion?”
Lin Yun gasped heavily while secretly sighing in shock.
Immediately after, Lin Yun pinched his face hard. There was pain!
At this moment, Lin Yun was almost certain that after the golden light enveloped him earlier, everything that happened was an illusory scene!
“Damn it! To think I was tricked by an illusion!”
Lin Yun, drenched in sweat, could not help but curse.
That illusion had completely connected to his real situation, making Lin Yun completely unaware that it was an illusion.
Moreover, everything happened so suddenly. Lin Yun had gone out and immediately encountered the Supreme Realm general, with no time for any thought, making it even harder for him to see through the illusion.
But now, thinking back, the Nether Palace’s Supreme Realm powerhouse coming here in person was indeed almost impossible. That small matter was not enough to alarm the Palace Lord.
Lin Yun noticed that the Daoist robe he was wearing was now completely soaked with sweat. It had been a false alarm in reality.
If this illusion was a test, did that not mean he had failed?
This was the first time Lin Yun had failed so miserably in an illusion.
If he had seen through the illusion at the time, Lin Yun only needed to close his eyes and clear his mind of all distractions to break it.
Lin Yun temporarily put those thoughts aside.
“An Yun, An Yun? Are you alright?” Lin Yun immediately tried to contact An Yun through the wristband, wanting to ask about the situation outside.
“I am fine, Young Master. I am waiting for you outside. How are you now?” The wristband transmitted An Yun’s reply.
Hearing An Yun’s response, Lin Yun felt much more at ease.
Rumble!
At this moment, the stone door leading to the second floor of the golden pagoda ahead slowly opened.
“The stone door has opened. I… have I passed?” Lin Yun was somewhat dazed.
Logically speaking, he had not seen through the illusion at all just now and had died in it. If that was truly an illusion test, should he not have failed?
