This fusion of the second Origin Heart not only granted the amplification of raw strength from the Heart itself, but also caused the Origin Tree to grow once more, further strengthening Lin Yun’s inner force.
His overall combat power had directly leapt to a new level.
“Now only three Origin Hearts remain. I simply do not know where to search for them,” Lin Yun silently reflected.
Having personally witnessed the terrifying might of the Origin Hearts, he naturally yearned to collect the rest. He was also deeply curious about what would happen once all the Origin Hearts were reunited and every branch of the Origin Tree had fully matured.
At that moment, Lin Yun halted in mid-air and looked down upon a mountain stronghold nestled amongst the peaks.
This was the lair of the Tiangang Gang.
At Lin Yun’s speed, it had taken almost no time at all to arrive.
Since he had promised Gong Zhan he would tidy up the loose ends, Lin Yun intended to keep his word.
He first quietly extended his divine sense, blanketing the stronghold below and sweeping through it once.
The next instant, Lin Yun dove straight down towards the stronghold.
Inside the stronghold.
Dusk was falling. A huge bonfire blazed in the open ground, surrounded by large numbers of gang members drinking, eating meat, and boasting loudly.
Suddenly, everyone sensed an overwhelmingly powerful realm aura descending from the sky.
“What is happening? Such terrifying realm pressure!”
“It is the pressure of the Void Dao realm!”
Feeling that fearsome aura, every face changed dramatically. They all looked up and saw a figure plummeting from the heavens.
“Why would a Void Dao realm powerhouse come to our place?”
Terror gripped them all; their hair stood on end.
“Greetings, Lord of the Void Dao realm!”
The moment Lin Yun landed, every single person dropped to their knees.
Faced with a Void Dao realm expert, they dared not utter a single unnecessary word. They could only prostrate themselves.
“Bring your gang leader out,” Lin Yun said.
Before his words had even faded, a figure came sprinting over.
“Lord, I am the leader of the Tiangang Gang,” the figure said, arriving directly in front of Lin Yun and immediately bowing.
“May I ask why the Lord has graced our Tiangang Gang with his presence?” The gang leader also appeared extremely nervous.
“I have heard that your Tiangang Gang commits all manner of evil. I have come to wipe you out,” Lin Yun replied calmly.
The gang leader and everyone present blanched at those words.
The leader hurriedly said, “Lord, if our Tiangang Gang has offended you in any way, we are willing to offer apologies and make amends.”
“No need. Eradicating you is the better option,” Lin Yun said.
With that, he once again released his divine sense, spreading it in all directions.
In an instant, every member of the Tiangang Gang froze, eyes blank.
Using his formidable divine sense, Lin Yun forcibly rifled through their memories.
After the search, he confirmed the true nature of the Tiangang Gang without any doubt. They were indeed a force that burned, killed, and plundered, bringing disaster to the entire region.
Some of the deeds he saw committed by certain members even filled Lin Yun with righteous anger.
Hearing the words “wipe out”, the gang leader trembled violently, a chill running down his spine.
“Leader of the Tiangang Gang, you are at least a Saint realm cultivator yourself. Why indulge your subordinates in such acts?” Lin Yun asked coldly.
“Lord, this is the Ancestral Land. This is simply how things are done here. My conduct is completely ordinary in the Ancestral Land. Even the Dao Alliance turns a blind eye. Why must you interfere?” the gang leader argued.
“It ends now.”
Lin Yun wasted no more words. With a thought, his divine sense surged forth once more. In an instant, the souls of tens of thousands of gang members were shredded. They collapsed lifelessly to the ground.
Only the gang leader remained standing in place.
“This… this…”
Seeing his entire gang annihilated in a heartbeat, the leader stumbled back several steps in horror.
“Leader of the Tiangang Gang, it is your turn now,” Lin Yun said, his gaze falling upon the man.
“Lord, I… I will tell you the truth! I have backing! The Underworld Palace stands behind me! If you dare kill me, you will pay a price!” the gang leader said through gritted teeth.
“Oh?” Lin Yun was slightly surprised. So the leader of the Tiangang Gang actually had this additional identity.
“Then there is even more reason to kill you!” Lin Yun laughed coldly.
Torrents of inner force condensed into a gigantic palm imprint that tore through the air, smashing instantly towards the gang leader.
“What? God-Slaying Demonic Palm? You… you are from the God-Slaying Sect? We are allies!”
The gang leader’s eyes widened in abject terror.
