Chapter 68 The Supreme Being Appears

"Being too handsome isn't always a good thing, Your Majesty. Would you mind sharing your troubles?" A loud laugh rang out, and everyone turned to look. A tall, imposing young man, with a wicked smile, strode arrogantly into the hall. Behind him followed two tall, graceful beauties with long hair, each carrying two swords. A hint of unyielding arrogance lingered on their brows.

A perfect couple, stunningly beautiful.

Lin Yuan secretly praised them and said with a faint smile, "We've only met once, yet Brother Xiang has traveled a great distance to keep this appointment. You are truly a hero. If Brother Xiang can make them submit, I will be eternally grateful!"

The crowd was stunned by Lin Yuan's words. They were both amused and annoyed. The women he spoke of were all powerful and influential figures. For ordinary people to receive their presence was already a great favor. Today, they disregarded their pride and competed for his attention in front of everyone, making countless people envious. Could it be that the law of 'extremes meet' truly applies? Lin Yuan treated them like objects, transferring them to others—it was utterly insulting! Given their personalities, it would be strange if they didn't turn this place upside down.

Xiang Shaolong hadn't expected Lin Yuan's reaction and was momentarily at a loss for words. Upon hearing this, the women's faces turned exceptionally cold, and a terrifying killing intent surged forth. Knowing that the women were about to unleash their fury, the heroes quickly retreated a step to avoid becoming collateral damage. The women dared not retaliate against Lin Yuan, but instead fixed their icy gazes on Xiang Shaolong.

"Damn it!" Xiang Shaolong inwardly cried out upon seeing the women's murderous gazes.

"You, a mere brat, dare to be so insolent before me!" The Palace Mistress of Yaoyue, known for her arrogant and aloof nature, suddenly unleashed her killing intent upon hearing Xiang Shaolong's disrespectful words. She unleashed a palm strike of 'Mingyu Gong' through the air, the powerful pressure causing Xiang Shaolong's limbs to weaken.

The two beauties following behind him witnessed the scene and simultaneously roared, drew their swords, and pounced. The Palace Mistress

of Yaoyue smiled coldly, a sudden gust of wind arose, ice appeared, and an endless, rapidly spreading chilling killing intent. The powerful threat from the Palace Mistress of Yaoyue ignited Xiang Shaolong's indomitable pride. In his haste, he casually drew his sword, pointing it to the sky. A strange trajectory flashed, sword energy and chilling force collided and exploded in the air, a bone-chilling cold enveloping the entire summit of Mount Hua. Even the heroes, possessing unparalleled martial arts skills, felt a bone-chilling cold.

The Palace Mistress of Yaoyue's palm strike was incredibly powerful. Xiang Shaolong's swordsmanship was exquisite and sharp, yet it was no match for her killing move. The moment they clashed, Xiang Shaolong's sword broke and he flew away. The two long-haired beauties were simultaneously blasted away by the Palace Mistress of Yaoyue's powerful protective aura.

The crowd watched in astonishment, shocked by the Palace Mistress of Yaoyue's strength. Her jade-like face was filled with anger as her delicate body pressed forward once more.

A chilling aura filled the air, and a pair of crystalline palms, like the summons of the King of Hell, brought with them a thick aura of death. Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly, powerless. A flippant joke had brought him to his death—how laughable, how tragic, how hateful!

Just as he closed his eyes to await his demise, he heard a muffled groan from the Palace Mistress of Yaoyue Palace, and the chill that had permeated the entire space vanished completely. He opened his eyes and was astonished to see a refined young man with a handsome face standing beside him. The Palace Mistress of Yaoyue Palace lay several feet away, her face pale, her beautiful eyes filled with shock as she looked at the refined young man.

A pure white robe, as white as snow, fluttered in the night wind. His strong body possessed an ethereal, otherworldly grace, as if he could soar into the sky at any moment. His eyes were clear and bright, possessing an aura as vast and expansive as the ocean. He stood calmly, smiling silently, yet the crowd felt a sense of inferiority. He was like an insurmountable mountain, overlooking the earth, someone to be admired from afar but not approached. He didn't exude the slightest aura of a powerful figure, yet the heroes around him revered and worshipped him.

A powerful figure, an absolute peerless powerhouse!

In just a few days, his cultivation had reached such a terrifying level. Could it be that in our initial exchange, he was letting me win, toying with me? Lin Yuan thought to himself as he recognized the newcomer. He quickly stepped forward to help the Palace Master of Yaoyue, who had been knocked away by the powerful protective aura of the other party, and asked with slight concern, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Losing to Senior Dugu is not a shameful thing," the Palace Master of Yaoyue said calmly. The appearance of the refined young man exuded an astonishing aura that commanded respect. Everyone instantly recognized him. How many in the world could send the Palace Master of Yaoyue flying with just their protective qi without even lifting a finger?

Chapter 69: Leading the Way

. "Palace Master Yaoyue, Xiang Shaolong cultivates the Dugu Sword Technique, a legacy from my ancestors. He is, in a sense, my successor from a previous life. I had no choice but to help him. Please forgive any offense he may have caused," Dugu Qiubai said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood! They had been wondering how an unknown youth like Xiang Shaolong dared to provoke the arrogant and cold-blooded Palace Master of Yaoyue. It turned out he was relying on Dugu Qiubai's backing!

In an instant, all eyes turned to Xiang Shaolong, scrutinizing this fledgling newcomer!

To receive an apology from Dugu Qiubai was an immense honor. Palace Mistress Yaoyue was flattered and felt her face brighten considerably. She quickly said respectfully, "This junior was presumptuous and injured someone. Senior's lack of punishment is already shameful. How could this junior dare to blame Senior?"

"Very well!" Dugu Qiubai said with a faint smile.

"It's rare to see my high and mighty Palace Mistress bowing down like this." Lin Yuan stood aside and joking inappropriately.

"Damn it!" Palace Mistress Yaoyue glared at him fiercely but remained silent, seemingly lost in thought about her unusual behavior.

"Disciple Yang Guo pays respects to Master."

"Disciple Feng Qingyang pays respects to Master."

"Disciple Linghu Chong pays respects to Master."

"Disciple Xiang Shaolong pays respects to Master."

Yang Guo, Feng Qingyang, Linghu Chong, and Xiang Shaolong were overjoyed upon learning Dugu Qiubai's identity. Regardless of his reaction or permission, the four of them stepped forward to pay their respects.

"You are all exceptionally talented and intelligent individuals, renowned heroes of your generation. I am deeply gratified to have such successors. I hope you will diligently cultivate and quickly break through your current realms, reaching the Celestial Realm as soon as possible," Dugu Qiubai said with a faint smile.

"Disciples will obey Master's orders and will never fail Master's expectations," the four replied in unison.

"You have all practiced my Dugu Sword Technique to some extent. In this chaotic world, since we are meeting for the first time, I will give you a small gift," Dugu Qiubai said with a smile.

The four were overjoyed upon hearing this, much to the envy of the assembled heroes. Dugu Qiubai was the only forbidden supreme figure in the chaotic martial world to have reached the Celestial Realm, so his gift was naturally extraordinary.

With a "pfft," Yang Guo, Feng Qingyang, Linghu Chong, and Xiang Shaolong simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of blood. The four were shocked and bewildered. The assembled heroes hadn't seen Dugu Qiubai make a move, yet four powerful and sharp sword energies, exuding an aura of supreme dominance, suddenly erupted from Yang Guo and the others. The chilling killing intent unique to sword wielders pierced the sky.

"Such terrifying sword energy, possessing the power to conquer the world," Xuan Yin Fairy said calmly.

"Dugu Qiubai truly lives up to his reputation as a peerless, forbidden supreme figure. In the blink of an eye, he swiftly transformed the four's meridians with his unfathomable Xuan Tong power. Yang Guo, originally ranked nineteenth, has had his Xuan Guan opened after Dugu Qiubai's assistance, his strength now reaching the eleventh supreme level. The other three, while not as powerful as him, have also seen significant increases in their strength and realm. Impressive, truly impressive," Tian Xiao Tian Ji exclaimed.

"Tianji has sharp eyes and her cultivation is not to be underestimated. But I wonder how Tianji is so sure that Yang Guo's achievements far surpass those of Feng Qingyang, Linghu Chong, and Xiang Shaolong. Their intelligence and talent are all comparable." Lin Yuanqi said. He was still a layman when it came to martial arts. Although he had a vast amount of martial arts information stored in his brain, how could his understanding of the essence of martial arts compare with those of the peerless heroes?

"Intelligence is important, but one must also consider a person's passion for martial arts and their talent. Yang Guo studied under the Quanzhen and Ancient Tomb sects, mastered the Nine Yin Manual, and achieved mastery of the three schools' unique skills. He also received instruction from the Eastern Heretic, Western Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggar, and by chance, obtained the true swordsmanship of Dugu Qiubai. His cultivation was unfathomable, and he was virtually unmatched in the mortal world. While practicing swordsmanship on the shores of the East Sea, he was overcome with longing for his beloved wife, and his emotions led him to a state of enlightenment. He imbued his martial arts with his emotions, combining the strengths of various schools to create his own unique skill, the 'Heartbreak Palm,' becoming a grandmaster of martial arts. Among the four, he was the most learned, achieved the greatest, and possessed the deepest martial arts cultivation. Once he opened the Xuan Guan (a point on the martial arts path), his strength far surpassed the other three. My confidence in him is both well-founded and perfectly reasonable," Tian Xiaotianji said with a faint smile.

"Oh," Lin Yuan replied, seemingly understanding. Upon hearing this, Yang Guo and the others all revealed looks of both surprise and admiration.

Chapter 70 Ye Yu Changsheng

"Senior Dugu's cultivation is extraordinary, truly remarkable. Forgive my boldness, but please accept one of my moves." A sudden clear whistle attracted everyone's attention. A powerful aura surged forth, an attack of mental pressure, a vast and overwhelming force.

Dugu Qiubai smiled calmly, casually brushing it away, silently dissolving the opponent's terrifying force.

"You are Ye Yu Changsheng," Dugu Qiubai's calm voice rang out. The crowd turned to look, and a wickedly handsome young man with an arrogant face appeared before them, accompanied by four beautiful women dressed in pure white palace gowns.

"That's Ye Yuchangsheng! How can he possess such a strong aura of both righteousness and evil?"

"I've heard he's seduced and raped the wives and daughters of many renowned martial arts figures; he's an extremely lecherous rogue."

"Is he very well-endowed? So many famous female warriors are willing to become his concubines..."

Faced

with the mysterious newcomer, some martial arts practitioners who had heard of him but never seen him whispered among themselves. Others, who had suffered at his hands, looked at him with fierce eyes, as if they wished they could kill him with a single sword stroke. The charming young man seemed oblivious, standing calmly and arrogantly in the center of the hall, his haughty attitude conveying an air of "What can you do to me?" The four women following closely behind him were not as natural as he was. Hearing the whispers of the assembled heroes, the four women blushed, appearing somewhat guilty.

Such a person can become a supreme being; the world is truly interesting! Lin Yuan looked him up and down, finding him strangely repulsive—like a shifty, low-class thief.

Perhaps influenced by the emotions of those present, Lin Yuan consoled himself, thinking that no matter what, the other party was a supreme figure, and it was rather disrespectful of him to comment on him like that.

But Ye Yuchangsheng's next action completely extinguished any trace of shame in his heart. Ye Yuchangsheng's eyes lit up when he saw Xuan Yin Fairy beside Lin Yuan. The look of a lecherous man, clearly someone who had seen countless beauties, was now scrutinizing the women around Lin Yuan with the eyes of a master of lust. Lin Chaoying, Wu Xingyun, Palace Master Yaoyue, and Xuan Yin Fairy showed disgust in the face of his unbridled gaze. Ye Yuchangsheng seemed slow to react, and after a long while, he finally sensed the hostility of the four women, gave an awkward smile, and then shifted his gaze to Fu Tianxin, only to be met with a fierce glare from Palace Master Baihua.

"Oh, this junior is indeed Ye Yuchangsheng. Senior Dugu's martial arts are unfathomable; this junior is truly impressed." Having thoroughly enjoyed the beauty, Ye Yuchangsheng seemed to have just heard Dugu Qiubai's question. He composed himself and replied calmly.

What an arrogant fellow! The assembled heroes felt both contempt and disgust for his rudeness towards Dugu Qiubai. If he was disrespectful even before a supreme being, it was unthinkable that other martial artists of his generation, weaker than him, would receive any respect from him.

Dugu Qiubai had seen this situation many times before, and instead of being annoyed by his rudeness, he found it extremely amusing! Since he had become famous, everyone he encountered in the martial arts world had treated him with utmost respect; no one had ever dared to show the slightest disrespect. Ye Yuchangsheng's arrogance provided him with this novelty. He smiled faintly, "Indeed, the younger generation is formidable. I have witnessed your astonishing strength. Hmm, not bad. At such a young age, you are already approaching the realm of the celestial beings. Given time, your future is limitless."

"Of course..." Ye Yuchangsheng was not one to be modest. Hearing this, he was about to boast a few words when Guo Xiang's gentle voice interrupted him.

"Mother, is that you? Why are you and Sister Xiaolongnu by his side?"

The two beautiful women on Ye Yuchangsheng's left looked embarrassed upon hearing this, while the two beautiful women on his right looked around nervously, their expressions extremely unnatural. Under the questioning gazes of the crowd, the four women wished there was a crack in the ground to hide in.

As Guo Xiang spoke, Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Linghu Chong, Duan Yu, and the others all revealed fierce glints in their eyes. If looks could kill, their bone-chilling killing intent would have already torn Ye Yuchangsheng to shreds.

Lin Yuan stared blankly at the beautiful women before him, a hint of displeasure rising within him. He couldn't explain why he felt this way. The four women, who once seemed ethereal and pure, had fallen so low. Though they had entered the mortal world, their innate allure had only increased. The four women seemed to have stirred a storm within him, creating waves that could not be calmed.

"Xiang'er, what are you doing here?" a beautiful woman in white, exuding feminine charm, asked awkwardly.

"Mother, are all the rumors in the martial world true? Did you really follow Ye Yuchangsheng, this rat-faced, deer-like scoundrel?" Guo Xiang looked at her with grief and indignation, her voice filled with sorrow.

This was the most beautiful woman in the Central Plains, renowned for her intelligence and wisdom. And the immaculate white-clad woman beside her—wasn't that the Little Dragon Girl who once captivated the world? Indeed, they were stunning beauties, breathtakingly beautiful. No wonder Ye Yuchangsheng was willing to make enemies of the entire martial arts world to possess them. The assembled heroes stared in astonishment, secretly lamenting for Guo Jing, Yang Guo, and the others, feeling that Ye Yuchangsheng, a man of such high status, had gotten off too easily.

Huang Rong remained silent, clearly acknowledging Guo Xiang's words. Ye Yuchangsheng stood to the side, his face showing displeasure. Although his reputation was poor, he was still a supreme being in the world. To be called a rat-faced, deer-like scoundrel by a mere girl was truly humiliating. However, because she was Huang Rong's daughter, he couldn't immediately lash out. Helpless, he could only glare at her resentfully, suppressing his anger for the time being. "Little girl, don't fall into my hands, or I'll make you wish you were dead," he thought to himself, his lustful gaze roaming freely over Guo Xiang's delicate body. The little girl had inherited her mother's beauty; she was quite a beauty in the making. What would it be like if mother and daughter shared a husband?

"Mother, why is all this happening? Tell me, why is it happening?" Guo Xiang cried out sadly, completely unaware of Ye Yuchangsheng's malicious smile.

Chapter 71: The Sword Debate Fails

. "Xiang'er, Mother has her reasons," Huang Rong stepped forward and embraced her, her voice filled with sorrow.

"No, I don't want to hear it!" Guo Xiang angrily pushed him away, turning back to throw herself into Guo Jing's arms and bursting into tears.

Guo Jing and Huang Rong exchanged a glance, sighing helplessly at the same time. They looked at Huang Yaoshi, who coldly snorted, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the side.

All the heroes had arrived, their killing intent permeating the entire summit of Mount Hua. Guo Xiang's outburst immediately eased the tense atmosphere of the gathering.

Ye Yuchangsheng awkwardly discovered that everyone's gazes towards him were filled with contempt and disdain. He couldn't help but recall the saying, "Like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts to kill it," which perhaps perfectly described his current predicament. He was despised by all the heroes of the world, and although he possessed an air of unparalleled arrogance, the feeling of being isolated was unbearable. He helplessly looked at his four beautiful wives beside him, only to find them looking at him with pleading eyes.

Men are the pillars of a woman's world; the more perilous the situation, the more a man's role should be demonstrated. Isn't that right? Unfortunately, Ye Yuchangsheng was now helpless in the face of such a predicament. He couldn't very well, in a fit of anger, attack and kill everyone, especially since he lacked the strength.

"Fellow martial artists, Tianxiao Tianji is the specially invited host of the Supreme Ranking for this Sword Tournament. Her strength is extraordinary, as you have all witnessed. With her hosting the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, I believe you will have no objections. I have other matters to attend to and will leave for a while. Let's meet at the Forbidden City," Ye Yuchangsheng said with a forced smile. Seeing the situation turning against him, turning tail and running away was always considered shameful. Faced with this situation, even if he shamelessly stayed, it would be pointless. The Mount Hua Sword Tournament was merely a prelude; the final battle of the peerless masters would take place at the Forbidden City, and the rankings of the Supreme Rankings would be determined by the outcome of the battle there. Since that was the case, why stay and suffer humiliation? Ye Yuchangsheng found a reason to comfort himself and began to consider escaping.

Upon hearing this, the crowd understood his intention, and a clamor immediately arose. Before anyone could react, Ye Yuchangsheng, holding Huang Rong and Xiaolongnu's hands, soared away. The remaining two women watched helplessly, letting out a soft sigh before quickly following him away from this awkward situation.

"The tournament host has fled in embarrassment, and the top ten supreme beings won't choose to fight at the summit of Mount Hua. I've already written down the rankings of the supreme beings, and they're now in Bai Xiaosheng's hands. The rest of the Mount Hua Sword Tournament isn't worth watching. Your Majesty, what do you think?" Tian Xiaotianji asked Lin Yuan with a faint smile.

"That depends on Senior Dugu's opinion," Lin Yuan replied with a faint smile, looking at Dugu Qiubai. He was the key figure in this tournament, and everyone understood this. All eyes were on him; only he could determine the highs and lows of the tournament.

"Thanks to the kindness of all my fellow martial arts practitioners, I should rightfully remain atop Mount Hua. Unfortunately, Ximen Chuixue has gone to the Forbidden City, and Ye Gucheng has already set off upon hearing the news. Although I have been honored with the title of 'Number One Under Heaven,' I still cannot help but yearn to witness the battle between these two peerless swordsmen. What do you all think?" Dugu Qiubai said with a faint smile.

"Senior Dugu, go if you wish. Why make so many excuses? I presume all the renowned martial arts masters share this sentiment. Hahaha, I'll take my leave now." Lin Yuan laughed loudly, and a purple shadow vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.

Such speed! The crowd secretly praised.

"Where are you going?" Wu Xingyun, Lin Chaoying, Palace Master Yaoyue, and Fairy Xuanyin shouted simultaneously, their four figures quickly giving chase.

"Trying to slip away and escape us? Hmph, impossible." Palace Master Lianxing thought to herself, her slender figure disappearing from the summit of Mount Hua.

"All-Knowing Scholar of the Martial World, I entrust the Huashan Sword Tournament to you.

I'll be off now," Tianxiao Tianji said calmly. "Yes, I will certainly live up to your expectations," the All-Knowing Scholar of the Martial World replied respectfully. Tianxiao Tianji smiled faintly and had already gone far away.

"Interesting, interesting." Before Dugu Qiubai's faint laughter had faded, Yang Guo, Feng Qingyang, and Linghu Chong had already followed closely behind him, flying away.

"Damn it!" Dongfang Bubai's delicate voice suddenly rang out, just in time to see Dugu Qiubai turn back and smile before flying away.

She cursed angrily and her delicate body once again sped off into the air to chase after him.

"Mother, let's go directly to the Forbidden City." As Lin Yuan disappeared into the distance, Ouyang Yu's heart was no longer on the summit of Huashan. She consulted Huanying Xianji, her beautiful eyes looking in the direction where Lin Yuan had disappeared. The Phantom Fairy was well aware of her daughter's feelings, but she didn't expose them. After all, she and Ouyang Yu shared the same thoughts. She nodded, took Ouyang Yu's hand, and flew away. Yunyin and Xingxing followed suit.

"Sigh," a soft sigh escaped the crowd, and it was the Palace Mistress of Hundred Flowers. She took a deep breath, glanced at Jiang Feng, her eyes filled with unspeakable emotions—confusion, lingering affection, and resolute determination. As her graceful body flew away, her gaze was finally filled with another emotion.

"Brother," Jiang Feng felt uneasy under the Palace Mistress of Hundred Flowers' gaze before leaving, and couldn't help but look at Yan Nantian.

"The Palace Mistress of Hundred Flowers has decided to give up on entanglement with you from now on. Why don't we go to the Forbidden City and see?" Yan Nantian said, observing with an open mind.

"Really?" Jiang Feng said, half-believing.

"Of course! Emperor Tianyan is the most handsome man in the world. His appearance has easily captured the heart of the Palace Mistress of Hundred Flowers, relieving you, Father, of your predicament. Are you now reluctant to let her go? If so, Father, why don't you hurry and chase after her to beg her to come back? Perhaps it's not too late." Jiang Xiaoyu said with a sly laugh.

"You brat, are you asking for a beating?" Jiang Feng said with a laugh.

"I wouldn't dare, Father, please forgive me this time." Jiang Xiaoyu said playfully.

"Hahahaha..."

Several hearty laughs followed. Yan Nantian and Lu Zhongyuan flew off first, followed by Jiang Feng, Jiang Xiaoyu, and Hua Wuque. Wuyazi and Li Qiushui also flew away from the summit of Mount Hua.

Chapter 72 A Fizzle After a

Strong Start "I thought the fourth Mount Hua Sword Tournament would be a grand affair, but alas, that bastard Ye Yuchangsheng messed it up the moment he showed his face. It was all bark and no bite. The real masters aren't even on the summit of Mount Hua anymore, what's the point of watching? Senior Brother, let's go too." Zhou Botong shouted in frustration. Wang Chongyang nodded and turned to greet Zhang Sanfeng.

"To watch the excitement, of course we go where the crowds are; to see the best part, we go where the fun is. Brother Wang, let's go together." Zhang Sanfeng replied with a smile. The crowd exchanged smiles, and many more masters followed Zhou Lianying and Zhang Wuji, leaving the scene with Wang Chongyang, Zhou Botong, Zhang Sanfeng, and the others.

"Jing'er, let's go. So much time has passed, and we've lived through two lifetimes. Why dwell on it and create unnecessary trouble?" Hong Qigong patted Guo Jing's shoulder, then looked up at Huang Yaoshi and said, "Huang Yaoshi, don't you think so?"

"Brother Qi is right. A true man should be able to take things in stride. Brother Guo, let's go." Xiao Feng stepped forward and laughed heartily.

"Sigh," Duan Yu sighed inappropriately, provoking a verbal attack from Xu Zhu and Yi Deng.

Huang Yaoshi sighed softly and flew away first.

"Huang Yaoshi, don't be so sullen all the time. You don't even say goodbye before leaving. That's really not very nice." Hong Qigong laughed and scolded. Several figures swept across the night sky; it was Zhuge Shenhou with his four disciples, Leng Xue, Wu Qing, Tie Shou, and Zhui Ming, leaving the scene.

Hong Qigong, Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, and Yideng hurriedly chased after them. Guo Jing glanced at his beloved daughter, letting out a soft sigh; Guo Xiang had already fainted in his arms from crying. Abbess Miejue rushed forward to help him, but Guo Jing shook his head, carrying Guo Xiang as he flew away, with Abbess Miejue quickly following.

"Sigh, the show's over. Should I sneak away too?" The all-knowing martial artist watched Li Xunhuan, Chu Liuxiang, and the others leave, his heart filled with bitterness. The martial artists remaining were at best low-level individuals, barely deserving the title of 'master,' far beyond his own level, and he was filled with resentment.

A perfectly good sword-fighting tournament hadn't even begun before it was abruptly interrupted by the sudden appearance of Ye Yuchangsheng. The all-knowing martial artist didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What was this all about?

"Amitabha! The Buddha said, 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' Although we are outsiders, we cannot bear to see the supreme martial arts masters fighting bloody battles at the Forbidden City for the supreme ranking. We hope our arrival can stop them," Kong Jian shouted a Buddhist chant.

"Senior brother is right. We should use the Buddha's compassionate heart to guide the world," Kong Wen nodded. "May

the Buddha be compassionate and merciful," Kong Zhi shouted a Buddhist chant.

"Amitabha! Well done, well done," Kong Xing adopted a savior's demeanor and flew away behind his three senior brothers.

Hypocritical! Jianghu Baixiaosheng cursed inwardly. These monks who eat wine and drink meat have the nerve to pretend to be compassionate. They are shameless. I'm afraid that when they go, they will not persuade the world with words, but resolve things with fists.

"Whether we can enter the Supreme Ranking is not important. What's important is watching the decisive battle of the peerless masters. All the renowned figures in the martial arts world share this sentiment. Rou Rou, Qiu'er, let's head to the Forbidden City." Xiang Shaolong glanced at the sparsely populated

venue, gently embracing his two wives, Shan Rou and Jing Qiu, and said softly. The two women nodded. "Alas, there really are no more masters left." Jianghu Baixiaosheng sighed, watching Xiang Shaolong and the others leave. After a long while, he finally mustered his spirits to look at the 'so-called masters' left on the summit of Mount Hua. These people were of average strength and knew their own limitations. They knew that with their strength, they simply could not enter the City of Glory, the Great Han Imperial Palace, or the Forbidden City. Not to mention the 200,000 Imperial Guards patrolling day and night within the Imperial City, the 100,000 'Heavenly Guards' guarding the four gates of the City of Glory were not people they could afford to offend. A single arrow from them could turn them into a pincushion. Rather than going to the capital to die, it's better to stay atop Mount Hua and participate in the Sword Tournament; perhaps one can even manage to snag a ranking. While the battle of peerless masters is captivating, survival is more important than life itself.

"The Mount Hua Sword Tournament now begins," the Martial Arts Encyclopedia announced listlessly. Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately took their positions, waiting for the host's next words and the announcement of the duels for ranking. "

Hmph, what kind of masters are these? A bunch of cowards." The Martial Arts Encyclopedia looked at the eager expressions of the crowd below, their eyes brimming with fighting spirit and revealing their intense desire for the supreme ranking, and couldn't help but sneer. He could easily defeat them with a single move. True masters only yearn for the moment of decisive battle to improve their strength, hoping to quickly enter the realm of the celestial, break through the boundaries of life and death, and transcend the void; why would they care about these worldly rankings?

Regardless, the invitation to the Sword Tournament had already been sent throughout the land, a fait accompli. Even without a supreme figure to uphold the event, it would have to continue with these third-rate masters. Otherwise, if the tournament ended in a dismal failure, it would be a laughingstock. As the acting host of the Mount Hua Sword Tournament and the person responsible for ranking the second-highest masters on the Supreme Ranking, he couldn't afford to lose face. The All-Knowing Scholar of the Martial World secretly cheered himself up, but his mind was already on the Later Han Dynasty Imperial Palace. The Sword Tournament, the battle of peerless masters at the Forbidden City—that wasn't the focus of the Supreme Ranking at all.

As for the Sword Tournament at the summit of Mount Hua, well, what could he say!

Chapter 73: Breaking Through the Imperial City

A purple figure streaked across the night sky, and the Later Han Dynasty Imperial Palace, the City of Glory, appeared in the distance. Two white-clad youths silently followed behind.

The City of Glory, the political capital of the Later Han Dynasty, a sacred place in the hearts of the Han people. The magnificent city walls and luxurious decorations all revealed the city's nobility.

The three flew through the air like lightning, entering the gates of the City of Glory. A dazzling light assaulted their senses

! They stopped abruptly, looking around. The entire imperial city was illuminated as if it were daytime. Squads of imperial guards stood in square formations, their cold, murderous eyes fixed on the mysterious, uninvited guests. They had long heard of the unparalleled fighting prowess of the Later Han Empire's army, and seeing it today, they were indeed extraordinary. Faced with the three men's supreme aura and overwhelming spiritual pressure, not a single one showed fear or hesitation. Countless battles had ravaged their lives, forging an iron-blooded army! How powerful was the Great Han Dynasty of China! The three looked at the menacing imperial guards before them and couldn't help but admire them. "Are you the formidable seniors who wish to fight on the summit of the Forbidden City?" a guard commander called out. The three nodded in unison. "By the Emperor's decree, all supreme masters of the chaotic martial world who wish to enter the Forbidden City for a decisive battle or to observe must single-handedly pass through the spear-wielding formation of 100,000 Imperial Guards before entering the Arrow Rain Forest. Those whose strength is insufficient should not attempt it, lest they injure or kill innocent bystanders. You three masters, are you willing to give it a try?" the Imperial Guard commander said respectfully. "Emperor Tianyan, what is your opinion?" a white-robed youth asked with a smile. "Since we've come, we certainly cannot leave empty-handed. Senior Dugu, please." Lin Yuan said calmly. "Kill!" another white-robed youth said coldly. "Form ranks!" the Imperial Guard commander shouted. As a white figure rushed towards the Imperial Guards, a cold and sharp sword aura pierced the air. The invisible yet substantial protective qi sliced the square formation of 100,000 Imperial Guards in half from front to back. Those who touched its edge were all blasted aside. The white-robed youth had instantly appeared in front of the palace gate. The Imperial Guard commander and his men were terrified. They had long heard of these martial arts masters' extraordinary skills and astonishingly powerful mysterious abilities, and seeing them today was indeed terrifying. They knew they had no chance of winning against such people on the battlefield. "Ximen Chuixue is too arrogant," Lin Yuan sighed. "With his strength, he's worthy of being a forbidden master. A mere ten-thousand-man hunting formation is nothing to him. If we're talking about arrogance, with your speed that surpasses the limits of human mortals, you're no less humble than Ximen Chuixue," Dugu Qiubai said with a faint smile. "Senior, you flatter me," Lin Yuan replied with a faint smile. "Dongfang Bubai is about to arrive. Go in, enough with the nonsense." A cold shout rang out as Ye Yuchangsheng arrived with his beauty. "'All the way to victory'—you've come quite quickly. I admire you," Lin Yuan deliberately emphasized the words "All the way to victory," a sly smile on his face. Ye Yuchangsheng was annoyed by this. Originally, with his strength, he should have been the first to arrive at the Great Han Imperial Palace. However, the presence of Huang Rong, Xiaolongnu, and the other three women subtly affected his speed. He was the first to leave the summit of Mount Hua, but Lin Yuan, Dugu Qiubai, and the others easily caught up with him. Lin Yuan easily caught up with Ximen Chuixue at a speed beyond human limits, further stimulating the curiosity of Dugu Qiubai and Ximen Chuixue. The three of them competed fiercely, secretly vying for the lead. However, to their surprise, this newly rising star seemed to have considerable potential. Although both of them had reached the Celestial Realm and the realm of flight, their speed was significantly inferior to Lin Yuan's. He had not yet reached the Celestial Realm, so how could he possess such incredible speed? It was truly puzzling. The chase ended in a draw. Ye Yuchangsheng lagged far behind, watching with growing trepidation. He had meticulously planned to convene the Sword Tournament, originally believing that he could subdue all the heroes of the world with his forbidden power and achieve his ambitious dreams with the help of various forces. Unexpectedly, the Mount Hua Sword Tournament attracted several old monsters whose strength far surpassed his own. The powerful appearance of Dongfang Bubai instilled fear in him, and the reactions of the heroes of the world made him realize the difficulties involved. All his meticulously planned schemes were ruined. Caught in a bind, he had no other options but to coldly observe with a wait-and-see attitude. Five figures streaked across the night sky. Ye Yuchangsheng, accompanied by beauties, was already caught in a hunt of ten thousand men. Shouts rang out; facing this supreme figure, the 100,000 Imperial Guards, despite their murderous intent, were merely decorations, empty shells, a show of force. Lin Yuan and Dugu Qiubai exchanged a smile. Their figures soared through the air, appearing beside Ximen Chuixue the moment he stepped through the palace gates. "Not bad, better than Ye Yuchangsheng," Ximen Chuixue scoffed. "That idiot brought several women in; it's inevitable he'd be distracted. Being a little slow is understandable," Lin Yuan said calmly, turning to look at Ye Yuchangsheng. Ye Yuchangsheng, surrounded by 100,000 Imperial Guards, still clearly heard Lin Yuan's cold laughter. He snorted inwardly, and with a surge of anger, a whirlwind swept past, and five figures suddenly appeared outside the Imperial Guards' encirclement. The thousands of Imperial Guards were suddenly startled, and amidst shouts, a volley of arrows was fired, but all missed. "Not bad," Lin Yuan clapped his hands in acknowledgment. "Hmph," Ye Yuchangsheng snorted coldly, but did not reply. Chapter 74: A Contest in Secret

"Truly worthy of being called a peerless master, a forbidden supreme being! Moving like the wind among tens of thousands of troops, I admire you immensely. I wonder if you gentlemen would do me the honor of joining me?" A dashing young man in imperial robes clapped his hands and laughed, slowly appearing before the group.

"Emperor Wang Jingyao of Han is so magnanimous! It would be impolite of me to refuse such an honor. Then we will not stand

on ceremony." Seeing that the group did not react, Lin Yuan laughed loudly. "Gentlemen, please." Wang Jingyao was not surprised by Lin Yuan's calm expression at all, and he turned and left first.

The group exchanged glances, each seeing the other's astonishment. This Emperor of Han was indeed a remarkable figure, possessing extraordinary courage to remain unmoved even when facing a formidable enemy. He was worth befriending. However, no one spoke, and they simply followed slowly.

"I've heard that the Emperor of Han is a hero, and I've come uninvited. Seeing him today, I can see he truly is a young hero!"

"I'm flattered that Master Dongfang graces me with such an honor!" Just as the group sat down in the Imperial Garden, a delicate and charming voice rang out. Wang Jingyao recognized the person and couldn't help but smile

. Lin Yuan and Yelü Changsheng were secretly startled, but their expressions remained unchanged.

"Emperor of Han, you're too kind." Dongfang Bubai smiled faintly, sitting down opposite Dugu Qiubai without any ceremony. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Lin Yuan and

Yelü Changsheng, a hint of gleam flashing across them. "Dugu Qiubai, I've long admired you. Only today have I had the chance to see your face. You truly are a peerless and charming figure." Dongfang Bubai withdrew her gaze from Lin Yuan and Yelü Changsheng, fixing it on Dugu Qiubai, her smile radiating irresistible allure.

"You're too kind," Dugu Qiubai said calmly.

"Ye Yu Changsheng, it's been years since we last met. You're as handsome as ever, and I've missed you dearly. Alas, my love is unrequited, and all my longing is in vain!" Dongfang Bubai, unfazed by Dugu Qiubai's coldness, turned her gaze to Ye Yu Changsheng.

Lin Yuan, secretly thinking that she was about to cause trouble, watched coldly.

"Master Dongfang, how have you been?" Ye Yu Changsheng forced a smile.

"Come, let's drink to our reunion today!" Dongfang Bubai casually slammed her hand on the table, and a wine cup filled with wine flew smoothly towards Ye Yu Changsheng.

"How dare I, how dare I!" Ye Yu Changsheng replied, his expression extremely solemn. Huang Rong, Xiaolongnu, and the other two women looked at him with concern. Why would Dongfang Bubai be so kind as to offer a toast? Seeing Lin Yuan and Dugu Qiubai's cold, indifferent expressions, Wang Jingyao wisely kept quiet. Coming from the future, he knew some inside information. These people, though outwardly amicable, were already secretly vying for power. He wouldn't be foolish enough to invite trouble, especially since he didn't have the strength.

A muffled groan rang out, followed by Dongfang Bubai's cold smile and Ye Yuchangsheng's pale face, clearly injured in the contest. Wang Jingyao stared wide-eyed at the crowd, puzzled, only to find them all wearing cold smiles. He had been carefully observing the contest between Dongfang Bubai and Ye Yuchangsheng, and without any apparent effort from either of them, Ye Yuchangsheng had already been defeated—truly mysterious and terrifying.

"Such mysterious and astonishing power!" Lin Yuan and Ximen Chuixue watched coldly, secretly shocked. The slight difference between the second and third place was like heaven and earth in terms of strength; they were simply incomparable! Only Dugu Qiubai remained unmoved!

"As a rising star, to rise so quickly, Emperor Tianyan, I admire you. Come, let me toast you." Dongfang Bubai ignored the fearful and resentful gazes of Ye Yuchangsheng and the others. "Not killing you is already letting you off easy," she sneered, then turned her gaze to Lin Yuan. "

This freak, he's already set his sights on me again. Damn it!" Lin Yuan cursed inwardly, but a charming smile still appeared on his face as he said calmly, "Master Dongfang's high praise is truly flattering."

"Master Dongfang, do you mind if I drink this cup on behalf of the Emperor?" A soft and melodious voice rang out, and a jade-like hand, as white as snow, stopped Lin Yuan as he was about to take the cup.

"What a beautiful woman!" Wang Jingyao, who possessed the world, was immediately struck by her beauty upon hearing the voice. Lin Yuan smiled but said nothing. Just as he expected, Fairy Xuanyin would rush to his aid and take the challenge from Dongfang Bubai

. "Of course I don't mind, but I wonder if the Emperor takes you seriously?" Dongfang Bubai smiled faintly at Fairy Xuanyin.

"My business with the Emperor seems to have nothing to do with you." Fairy Xuanyin's jade-like face darkened.

"Master Dongfang is joking, why take it seriously, Fairy! You only need to know that I have you in my heart." Lin Yuan seized the opportunity to step forward and embrace Fairy Xuanyin.

Dongfang Bubai and Fairy Xuanyin looked at him in astonishment. Dugu Qiubai and Ximen Chuixue were somewhat confused, not understanding why his expression changed so quickly as a supreme being. Ye Yuchangsheng and Wang Jingyao looked at him with envy.

Lin Yuan was secretly pleased with himself. Seeing the situation was turning sour, he knew he had to change course; otherwise, he would suffer a great loss in this supreme competition. To get what he needed, his personality had changed drastically; he was no longer the aloof youth he had been before arriving in the chaotic martial world.

With a beautiful woman in his arms, his strength had increased even further. With the help of Fairy Xuanyin, if Dongfang Bubai harbored ill intentions, what was there to fear if the two of them joined forces? Lin Yuan thought to himself, tightening his embrace around Fairy Xuanyin's delicate body.

After a brief moment of silence, Fairy Xuanyin was overjoyed and nestled into his arms.

Chapter 75 The Fairy's Power

"Damn it!" Palace Master Yaoyue's cold voice suddenly rang out. This jealous person was quick to react. Before Lin Yuan could even process what was happening, a powerful killing intent, radiating coldness, suddenly assaulted Fairy Xuanyin in his arms. Fairy Xuanyin's jade-like face darkened. To have their sweet moment disturbed was truly unforgivable. Nestled in Lin Yuan's arms, she casually raised her hand, unleashing a powerful Northern Darkness Force. With a soft hiss, the fierce killing intent of the Palace Mistress of the Inviting Moon Palace vanished without a trace.

The Palace Mistress of the Inviting Moon Palace grew even angrier, unleashing a powerful killing move of the Bright Jade Skill, as swift and relentless as the Yangtze River. The force was chilling, and the intense killing aura was terrifying to behold.

"A firefly's flame dares to rival the moon's brilliance? Truly, you overestimate yourself. I can defeat you with only thirty percent of my power," the Mysterious Sound Fairy said disdainfully. Nestled in Lin Yuan's arms, she casually waved her hand, and a vast, boundless force suddenly pressed down on the Palace Mistress of the Inviting Moon Palace. The immense pressure and boundless power created gusts of wind that rapidly spread outwards. The deafening roars echoed throughout the palace complex surrounding the Imperial Garden, which couldn't withstand the overwhelming force and instantly turned into piles of ruins.

Despite her desperate resistance, Palace Mistress Yaoyue was easily knocked dozens of feet away by Fairy Xuanyin. Her jade-like face instantly turned pale, clearly indicating that her inner strength had been greatly depleted in the confrontation.

What terrifying power! This woman is truly difficult to deal with, and she defeated Palace Mistress Yaoyue's attack of eighty percent power with just thirty percent of her own. Lin Yuan was secretly alarmed to see Fairy Xuanyin's casual palm strike completely strip away Palace Mistress Yaoyue's haughty aura.

Perhaps this time, embracing her had truly brought him immense trouble. Looking at Fairy Xuanyin's beautiful face, smiling sweetly at him, he felt a headache coming on.

Even the usually calm and composed expressions of Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, and Ximen Chuixue showed a slight hint of surprise for the first time after Fairy Xuanyin's palm strike.

As expected of supreme beings whose power had reached the realm of the celestial, even a casual display of thirty percent of their strength forced them to unleash all the protective qi hidden within their bodies, effectively protecting everyone sitting in the Imperial Garden and creating a small defensive circle within that small space teeming with killing intent. After a brief moment of astonishment, the supreme beings like Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, and Ximen Chuixue all blazed with longing for the power of the celestial realm in their eyes.

Looking at the various expressions on their faces, Emperor Wang Jingyao of Han felt a deep sense of powerlessness and fear, and couldn't help but lament how poorly he had fulfilled his role as master.

Before the banquet could even begin, the battle between the two supreme beings had already commenced.

The two women started fighting the moment they met, a truly embarrassing situation! As Lin Yuan felt a headache coming on and a sense of helplessness, he saw Dongfang Bubai constantly sneering at him, and could only shake his head and sigh awkwardly!

"That despicable Yaoyue, how dare you be disrespectful to my ancestral master!" Wu Xingyun's murderous shout suddenly rang out. Yaoyue Palace Master hadn't yet recovered from the shock of being defeated by Xuanyin Fairy, and her anger, which she dared not challenge Xuanyin Fairy, immediately found an outlet. She snorted coldly, not replying, and with a flick of her jade hand, an even more powerful and incomparably strong Mingyu Gong cold energy immediately lashed out at Wu Xingyun. The two slender figures then clashed in a dreamlike, ethereal battle. Xuanyin Fairy smiled silently, simply nestled lazily in Lin Yuan's arms, calmly watching the battle in the sky.

A powerful gale swept across the battlefield. Wang Jingyao stared blankly at the two women's battle, sighing helplessly. This was the duel of peerless masters. They were fighting at a speed too fast for ordinary people to perceive. The gale sounded, but they could not be seen when their eyes opened. Anything that touched their protective aura was shattered. Seeing Dugu Qiubai and the others completely unconcerned, leisurely drinking and chatting, Wang Jingyao couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed.

Every one of them was a person of extraordinary strength, able to move freely among a million soldiers. If he were to oppose such people, the consequences would be unimaginable. Alas, it's a pity they cannot be used by me, Wang Jingyao sighed inwardly.

"Emperor Tianyan is in high spirits. The two palace masters are risking their lives for you. Their charm is truly enviable," Ye Yuchangsheng said sourly.

"If your four ladies were to risk their lives for Emperor Tianyan, that would be quite interesting," Dongfang Bubai sneered before Lin Yuan could answer.

"You..." Ye Yuchangsheng choked on his words, feeling deeply humiliated and his anger surged, about to erupt!

"Your wife was snatched from the hands of these heroes by your despicable means. The Heavenly Beauty Emperor is unparalleled in beauty and strength is comparable to yours. It's only natural that they would fall for someone else. Do you really think your allure surpasses that of the Heavenly Beauty Emperor?" Dongfang Bubai sneered, seemingly eager to stir up trouble. Lin Yuan's disgust for her only intensified upon hearing this.

Ye Yuchangsheng looked up, his anger instantly rising, and he glared hatefully at Lin Yuan.

Xuan Yin Fairy, seeing this, was displeased and immediately raised her eyebrows, shouting, "Why are you glaring at my husband if you have no ability yourself?"

Lin Yuan saw Dongfang Bubai's malicious, seductive smile and felt a surge of annoyance! He was already aware of the four women's secret, infatuated gazes at him, but he didn't say anything. Dongfang Bubai's words undoubtedly ignited the fuse between Ye Yuchangsheng and himself.

"I have no skill, but do you think you're capable by throwing yourself at me and shamelessly clinging on?" Although Ye Yuchangsheng was intimidated by Xuan Yin Fairy's mysterious and unpredictable strength, his arrogant temper flared up upon hearing this, and he sneered.

"I may lack skill, but I don't need to pick a day to teach a brat like you a lesson." Xuan Yin Fairy was enraged by his merciless sarcasm, completely forgetting any semblance of dignity befitting a supreme being. At this moment, she only wished she could kill him with a single blow to vent her anger.

"Don't say I'm bullying a weak woman like you; how about I give you ten moves?" Ye Yuchangsheng sneered. Upon hearing this, not only did Xuan Yin Fairy's jade-like face change color, but even Dugu Qiubai and Lin Yuan looked at him with disdain. Wasn't this courting death?

"Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish." Xuan Yin Fairy was enraged upon hearing this. Since her martial arts breakthrough to the Celestial Realm, no one had ever dared to challenge her authority like this. Even Dugu Qiubai and Dongfang Bubai, currently hailed as 'Martial Venerables' in the chaotic martial world, only showed her utmost respect. Ye Yuchangsheng? What was he? Just a young upstart who had accidentally acquired a peerless martial art and achieved some minor success. Truly ignorant.

Her jade hand rose into the air, unleashing a terrifying palm strike with terrifying power. A gust of wind rose, and the invisible pressure forced everyone to dodge. Lin Yuan, embracing her delicate body, was the first to feel this overwhelming pressure, yet dared not release her. Whether due to excessive confidence or arrogance, Xuan Yin Fairy, even when attacking others, still languidly nestled in Lin Yuan's arms.

When people are angry, their potential is always greatly developed and enhanced! While using his internal energy to resist the oppressive aura, Lin Yuan pondered to himself that Ye Yuchangsheng had already regretted his boastful words. Why had he gone to provoke Fairy Xuanyin when he had nothing better to do than create a powerful enemy for himself? Before he could even process this thought, Fairy Xuanyin's terrifying attack had already struck. With no way to dodge, he could only coldly snort and brace himself to meet her attack head-on. A

gust of wind rose, killing intent swirled, and hidden force condensed invisibly. Everything that approached their battle circle was pulverized!

The battle was silent, yet its intensity far surpassed that of the battle between Palace Master Yaoyue and Wu Xingyun.

"Ugh!" Amidst the chaotic clash of forces, Ye Yuchangsheng groaned, his figure hastily retreating several feet away. The shockwave unleashed by Xuan Yin Fairy not only easily defeated Ye Yuchangsheng's all-out resistance but also effortlessly leveled the Imperial Garden. This

time, even Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, and Ximen Chuixue could no longer maintain their composure. Under the powerful residual force of Xuan Yin Fairy's strike, everyone, including Wang Jingyao, who was being held by Dugu Qiubai, was forced back several feet. At the center of the whirlwind-like force, only Lin Yuan, holding Xuan Yin Fairy, stood there dumbfounded.

"Fairy, please spare Ye Yu for now." Lin Yuan snapped out of his daze and looked at Ye Yu Changsheng, who was also staring blankly at the jade-like figure in his arms, clearly unable to believe that the other party's power was so strong. Fairy Xuanyin, however, had no intention of letting this boy off the hook. She gave a soft snort and was about

to clap her hands again when Lin Yuan quickly hugged her and said gently, "Since you've spoken, I'll spare this boy this time. Hmph, if he dares to disrespect me again next time, I won't be so polite." Fairy Xuanyin snorted coldly at Ye Yu Changsheng, but smiled sweetly at Lin Yuan.

Chapter 76 Peerless Sword Master

"Desolate" Ximen Chuixue snorted coldly, and Lin Yuan was greatly embarrassed upon hearing this! Since the two met, Ximen Chuixue had always treated him coldly. Although he didn't care, hearing this while the women were all vying for his attention still made him unhappy.

"Being troubled by love makes it easy to lose control of one's emotions, even a supreme being is no exception, it's understandable." Dugu Qiubai smiled faintly, trying to smooth things over for Lin Yuan. Xuan Yin Fairy glanced at him with a smile but didn't refute him. Ye Yuchangsheng glared at her resentfully, and taking advantage of Dugu Qiubai's nonchalant words, he found a way to save face and retreated to the side...

"All of you martial arts practitioners have come here to compete for the supreme ranking, not to watch people fight over love. Dugu Qiubai, don't forget your purpose for coming here." Dongfang Bubai sneered.

"Fame is like fleeting clouds to me, Dongfang Bubai, you seem to value it very much. This is not a good thing for a cultivator." Dugu Qiubai smiled faintly.

"Rankings represent a person's level of cultivation. If you don't fight with all your might, how can you know the depth of your opponent?" Dongfang Bubai snorted.

"Dongfang Bubai, I'll meet you." Ximen Chuixue suddenly spoke, coldly.

"You want to challenge me on behalf of Dugu Qiubai? Ha, you're not qualified!" Dongfang Bubai sneered.

"Is that so?" Ximen Chuixue sneered and slowly walked towards her.

"I don't need to make a move. Your mortal enemy has already arrived." Dongfang Bubai smiled faintly and stopped the advancing Ximen Chuixue.

Suddenly, a fierce killing intent swept over the sky. A white-clad youth exuding an otherworldly aura stood proudly atop the Forbidden City of the Han Dynasty. His tangible protective aura shimmered with silver light, and his invisible yet tangible sword energy pierced the clouds. His cold gaze looked down from above, filled with supreme majesty.

The peerless swordsman, Ye Gucheng.

Upon seeing this white-clad youth, a name immediately flashed through everyone's minds. Known as 'A Sword Comes from the East, a Celestial Immortal Descends from Beyond the Heavens,' Ye Gucheng truly lived up to his name, radiating an unparalleled sword aura like a celestial being. Only Dugu Qiubai could truly suppress his power in the realm of swordsmanship. Ximen Chuixue, one of the universally acknowledged peerless sword masters of the chaotic martial world, could only be considered his equal. Moreover, Ximen Chuixue's sword aura did not radiate outwards but rather converged inwards. In this respect, Ye Gucheng had already proudly surpassed him, ranking among the peerless sword masters. His strength was no less than Dugu Qiubai's, and below Ximen Chuixue, he was showing signs of catching up with the two.

"Farewell to two lifetimes, let's fight again at the Forbidden City's peak. Ximen Chuixue, I've come to meet you." Ye Gucheng's cold, emotionless voice slowly rang out.

Ximen Chuixue flicked his sleeves, a white figure swept past indifferently, and the next moment, he stood calmly before Ye Gucheng.

"Very good.

"

The two exchanged glances, then fell silent. Two powerful auras surged forth, the overwhelming pressure of a peerless swordsman instilling fear in everyone present.

Wang Jingyao, the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty, was still deeply shaken by the terrifying scene.

He suddenly felt an indescribable sword energy, like an invisible mountain pressing down on him. His pupils constricted, and his muscles tensed.

In all his years on the battlefield, facing death countless times, he had never encountered anything like this. This supreme majesty was truly terrifying.

Xuan Yin Fairy, Dugu Qiubai, and Dongfang Bubai nodded in approval. Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng stood quietly atop the Forbidden City, neither holding a sword, yet their sharp, tangible sword energy emanated from them. They were sharper and more formidable than their swords; their gazes clashed like sharp blades.

Neither of them moved, yet the pressure of stillness was stronger and more terrifying than any movement.

A fallen leaf drifted between them, landing instantly, without even a breeze stirring it. Lin Yuan suddenly recalled this phrase, his palms already sweating. Compared to them, his strength was far beyond what he could possibly be tiers apart! Their pressure, though invisible, was certainly not intangible.

The moon, though already set, appeared even fuller.

A full moon seemed to hang directly above the Forbidden City; many people were present, yet no sound was heard. Dugu Qiubai and Dongfang Bubai silently watched the two beneath the bright moon. Lin Yuan also turned his gaze away from Wu Xingyun and the Palace Mistress of Yaoyue. Their battle, compared to the battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, seemed insignificant and childish! A disgrace to their supreme reputations!

A dragon's roar, sword energy piercing the clouds!

Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng had actually condensed their leaked sword energy into a dazzling, sky-piercing longsword!

Horrifying, terrifying!

Their bodies solidified into longswords! The Heavenly Sword, a realm of celestial power!

That was the ultimate dream and pursuit of every swordsman! They had actually achieved it.

Separated by two lifetimes, who would win this battle? Who would lose?

Under the sword's radiance, the starlight and moonlight paled even more; all the brilliance of heaven and earth was concentrated on the two swords!

Two immortal swords!

The swords had been thrust out!

The thrusting swords weren't fast, making the distance between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng seem vast.

Their swords hadn't even touched before they began to shift and change. Human movement was slow, but the sword's movements were rapid, because their techniques were already flowing freely before they were even unleashed. To mortals, such a battle was neither intense nor exciting, but Xuan Yin Fairy, Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, and Lin Yuan all felt a chill run down their spines.

These four were all forbidden supreme beings of their generation; they could certainly see that this swordsmanship had reached a level of complete control, the highest realm in martial arts. Their swords were one with their men; this was the sword of the heart, each strike a sure-kill, sure-win strike.

A sword comes from the east, a celestial being descends from the heavens!

Dozens of variations flashed by in an instant. Ye Gucheng's sword was like a gust of wind beyond the white clouds, so ethereal and fluid, yet no one dared doubt the earth-shattering, deadly strike hidden beneath this ethereal and fluid style!

The sword strike left no trace, no mark to be found!

Compared to this, Ximen Chuixue's sword style appeared fantastical and mysterious, ethereal and fleeting, like the summons of the King of Hell. The killing intent it brought, though seemingly faint, was so intense, its aura dominating the world, a testament to his absolute supremacy.

Who could change their fate? Ximen Chuixue could not, nor could Ye Gucheng!

The two were now almost touching! Both swords had been thrust out with all their might! This was the first sword strike, and also the last. For the supreme swordsmen, a single strike could decide victory or defeat.

Chapter 77 Supreme Battle

"Not bad, a master."

"No one can defeat me, I am the number one martial artist in the chaotic spacetime!" Just

as the earth-shattering sword was about to determine the victor, everyone was dazzled by the sight. Suddenly, a change occurred. Two angry shouts rang out, and two figures rushed towards Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng like lightning.

"Xidu, Wuchi!"

A surprised voice rang out. It was Yang Xiaoxie who had arrived.

"Get out of the way!" Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng snorted coldly at the same time. However, they saw that the newcomers ignored their pressure and rushed into their battle circle like a hot knife through butter. A terrifying killing intent quietly came! In

the blink of an eye, Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng's earth-shattering swords had pierced the throats of Xidu and Wuchi at the same time. Another change made everyone's eyes widen! Xidu and Wuchi were not killed on the spot by the two peerless sword masters as everyone expected. Instead, they were hit by a powerful palm strike from the two, which cleaved through the air and struck Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng.

"Attention everyone! Xi Du and Wu Chi have mastered the Vajra Indestructible Body!" Yang Xiaoxie shouted.

The crowd was secretly astonished. The legendary Vajra Indestructible Body, reaching such a level in martial arts, was equivalent to achieving the pinnacle of the Celestial Realm, making them true martial arts masters. Their strength was comparable to Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng. No wonder they broke through the sword-controlling circles of the two peerless sword masters so easily.

Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng exchanged a slight glance. Two sword beams flashed towards Xi Du and Wu Chi. One hand struck out in mid-air, the fierce palm force tearing through the air. A gale arose, killing intent filled the air, and with a deafening explosion, all four were simultaneously thrown back by the destructive power of the attack.

"A powerful expert! This is a forbidden expert! The heroes have not yet gathered. Could the four supreme beings wait a moment?" A melodious and sweet voice called out. Everyone looked, and it was Tian Xiaotianji, her face veiled in white gauze.

"Hmph!" Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Xidu, and Wuchi all snorted coldly, their imposing auras growing stronger. Invisible energy materialized in the void, and the battle erupted once more! Destructive power swept across the land, palace after palace being reduced to rubble!

Wang Jingyao, witnessing this carnage, was filled with indescribable regret. Was this supposed to be a supreme battle of annihilation? He, as the 'host,' had not only failed to properly entertain his 'guests,' but they had also turned the tables, treating the palace as their own domain, wantonly instigating waves of war. The arriving Venerables hadn't even exchanged a few polite words with him, nor had they given him a chance to speak, simply relegating him to the sidelines as a silent spectator.

What kind of nonsense was this? He was, after all, the monarch of the Later Han Empire! How could they treat him like he was nothing? Wang Jingyao thought to himself unhappily, but unfortunately, no one had time to pay attention to him, the supreme monarch who ruled the world and had an extremely high reputation among the various kingdoms and dynasties in the chaotic timeline. Their attention was more drawn to the chaotic battle between Ximen Chuixue, Wu Chi, and others.

However, one can't blame them. They're all martial artists pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts; how can they be constrained by rules and regulations? Besides, I don't have the strength myself. But there's nothing I can do about it; after all, they are the supreme martial artists with abilities beyond the reach of nature. "Oh well, I used to admire them so much. Let's just treat it as watching a hugely expensive action blockbuster," Wang Jingyao consoled himself as he watched the chaotic battle.

"Sigh," Tian Xiaotianji shook her head and sighed softly.

"The former are the supreme ones, the latter are all useless fools. It's better not to wait! Dugu Qiubai, a battle between you and me is inevitable. Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng have already shown their faces. Come on, it's our turn." Dongfang Bubai, intrigued by the chaotic battle between Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Xidu, and Wuchi, couldn't help but challenge Dugu Qiubai.

"Ye Yuchangsheng's martial arts are unfathomable; to fight him would be a great pleasure in life." Dugu Qiubai's gaze swept past Xuan Yin Fairy in Lin Yuan's arms, directly landing on Ye Yu Changsheng, who had just fought Xuan Yin Fairy. He seemed oblivious to Dongfang Bubai's challenge! Lin Yuan, however, knew he had no desire to fight this freakish Dongfang Bubai, and thus deliberately adopted a cold and indifferent attitude towards her.

"There are no invincible strongmen, only undefeated supreme beings! Ye Yu Changsheng, take this!" Dongfang Bubai, seeing Dugu Qiubai's admiring gaze towards Ye Yu Changsheng, was immediately displeased. She let out a delicate shout, her afterimage flashing past Lin Yuan, and a terrifyingly destructive palm strike crashed towards Ye Yu Changsheng. The vast, overwhelming power of the attack even enveloped Wu Xingyun and the Palace Master Yaoyue, who were fighting in mid-air.

Suddenly attacked, the two women simultaneously clapped their hands in mid-air, their immense power clashing with the force of the force below, who were forced to clap their hands in desperation. Ye Yuchangsheng's combined palm strikes exploded with a loud bang, barely managing to neutralize Dongfang Bubai's terrifying attack.

This was Dongfang Bubai; why did her strength seem more terrifying each time she appeared? Had she been concealing her astonishing power all along? Lin Yuan

watched in astonishment and silence. Wu Xingyun and Palace Master Yaoyue landed on the ground simultaneously, their faces ashen, clearly having exhausted their inner strength. Ye Yuchangsheng, hiding to the side, also looked extremely pale.

"Are you alright?" Lin Yuan quickly released Xuan Yin Fairy's delicate body and stepped forward to support the two women, asking with concern. "We're fine.

Although Dongfang Bubai is powerful, it's not that easy for her to hurt us. " "Wu Xingyun, Yaoyue Palace forced a smile at the same time.

Ye Yuchangsheng glared at her angrily, walked straight to Huang Rong's side, secretly angry. Huang Rong and the other three women stared at Lin Yuan from time to time, completely ignoring his existence, which was truly shameful and unforgivable. Dongfang Bubai's sneak attack when no one was paying attention was even more despicable. He secretly hated it and began to have evil thoughts of revenge. His lustful eyes kept wandering back and forth between Xuan Yin Fairy and Lin Yuan.

Chapter 78 Forbidden Showdown

"It's your turn to appear." Dongfang Bubai looked at Dugu Qiubai with smugness and provocation. Dugu Qiubai saw that she easily repelled the joint obstruction of three peerless masters with a single palm, and her forbidden strength was definitely on par with his own. He knew that this battle was unavoidable. He nodded and slowly walked towards the sky. Her elegant and calm expression was like taking a leisurely stroll. The forbidden strength of her stepping in the void deeply shocked everyone present.

"Condensed in the void, not bad," Dongfang Bubai praised softly. She also slowly stepped into the sky. Dongfang Bubai's hidden strength was revealed at this moment. The two solidified auras of powerful beings gradually spread, their supreme majesty soaring into the sky. Dazzling light slowly emerged from the two of them, gradually enveloping them.

A powerful pressure, a soul-shaking shock, forced everyone to retreat. With a loud bang, the two pillars of light collided suddenly, like two bright moons colliding. No one could see the faces of the two people involved, nor could anyone see their next move. The powerful air vibrations... The force nearly leveled half of the Han Dynasty's imperial palace.

Everyone stared in horror—such terrifying, forbidden power!

Two pillars of light swirled and danced, illusory sword shadows and needle-like energy emanating from them. Wherever their terrifying destructive power passed, heroes scattered in panic; everything tangible was pulverized.

The full moon lost its brilliance. Under the night sky, the two pillars of light seemed like divine warriors descending from the heavens, or ancient gods locked in battle. Gale-force winds erupted, and destructive power swept across the land. Palaces collapsed one after another, crumbling walls and pillars instantly turning to ashes.

Screams and shouts of panic filled the air; the imperial palace was instantly thrown into chaos. Wang Jingyao stared in disbelief. A sense of powerlessness washed over him at the sight before him.

Was this nature's wrathful punishment, or a nightmare from the mortal realm? How could mere mortals possess forbidden power surpassing even nature's? They seemed like supreme rulers; the earth groaned, everyone ran for their lives, no one wanting to be near these terrifying beings.

Had it not been for the protection of Lin Yuan and Fairy Xuanyin, Wang Jingyao would have long been pulverized by the destructive force of the battle between Dugu Qiubai and Dongfang Bubai.

Thousands of palace maids, eunuchs, and imperial guards, unable to escape in time, had become victims of the two supreme beings' fierce battle, their blood staining the light . The ground was bathed in the light of the sun. Heaven is merciless; those who have reached such a level of cultivation view all living beings as

mere ants. With a flick of their wrist, they can annihilate countless lives. What are a few thousand people compared to that? Wang Jingyao was filled with regret. Why had he allowed them to fight in the Han Dynasty palace? Now, they had become collateral damage in their battle, suffering heavy losses. And if word got out, how could the mighty emperor of the Great Han Dynasty face the people?

"Your Majesty, save me!" A cry of alarm interrupted Wang Jingyao's thoughts. He snapped back to reality, frantically calling out, "Empress, Consort An, where are you?" "

Your Majesty, I am here! Please save me!" Three beautiful women in palace attire emerged from the perimeter of a collapsed palace wall. The leader looked around anxiously, crying out in panic.

"Your Majesty, I beg you, please help me save my beloved wife!" "Wang Jingyao looked at Lin Yuan with pleading eyes. On the battlefield, he was a fearless and indomitable hero, but in the martial arts world where strength reigns supreme, he was no ordinary figure. Therefore, he looked to Lin Yuan for help, his tone respectful, even daring not to use his own honorific title, 'I, the Emperor.'

Lin Yuan felt greatly troubled. The fierce battle between Dugu Qiubai and Dongfang Bubai stood before them, and terrifying destructive energy was rapidly spreading and permeating the area around the palace. No one could quell this earth-shattering battle, and no one dared to be presumptuous enough to approach the battle circle. The energy emitted during the battle was so powerful that even tangible objects could be destroyed." It could be destroyed! Even though he was a super-evolved being, protected by the purple crystal holy armor, and barely considered a supreme being, he wasn't guaranteed to pass through unscathed. But watching three beautiful women perish was too painful to bear, both morally and logically.

Xuan Yin Fairy shook her head, indicating he shouldn't go. Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, looking at Wang Jingyao and the three beautiful women's pleading eyes, finally gritting his teeth and rushing off like lightning.

A blur flashed past, and Lin Yuan was already back beside Xuan Yin Fairy, carrying the three beautiful women in his arms. A few strands of purple hair fell gracefully, severed by the destructive needle energy unintentionally fired by Dongfang Bubai.

"Husband, are you alright?" Xuan Yin Fairy, Palace Master Yaoyue, Wu Xingyun, and Tian Xiaotianji cried out simultaneously, rushing forward. They no longer felt like strangers; their words actually brought them closer.

"I'm fine, just a false alarm." Lin Yuan released the woman in his arms with a faint smile, only to find Wang Jingyao looking at him with an unnatural expression. He then pulled the three beautiful women away.

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. I am truly grateful," Wang Jingyao said respectfully after a long pause.

"Thank you for risking your life to save me, Your Majesty," the three beautiful women said in unison, their tender eyes gazing lovingly at Lin Yuan's face.

"You have such great charm! You saved three beauties and captured their hearts," Xuan Yin Fairy said sourly, leaning against Lin Yuan.

"Don't talk nonsense," Lin Yuan said awkwardly, his face stiff. Wang Jingyao's gaze was filled with jealousy.

"Your Majesty, this is my Empress Yao Chuming, and my Consort Yao Chufei, and Consort An Hui'er. They are gentle and virtuous, well-educated and courteous, though their beauty is not even a fraction as striking as Your Majesty's other wives. It is truly enviable." Wang Jingyao introduced his beloved wives with a mixture of pride, envy, and subtle hints.

Lin Yuan understood his meaning and smiled faintly, "Your Majesty is too modest. Empress Yao, Consort Yao, and Consort An are all exceptionally talented and beautiful, certainly no less so than the women around me. They are ladies of noble birth, far superior to the women of the martial world I serve. Your Majesty should be content with such beautiful wives; why envy others?"

Wang Jingyao smiled upon hearing this, feeling greatly pleased. The slight jealousy and displeasure he had felt towards Lin Yuan earlier vanished completely. Yao Chuming, Yao Chufei, and An Huier were overjoyed upon hearing this, but Xuan Yin Fairy and Palace Mistress Yaoyue were displeased. However, seeing Lin Yuan staring intently at them, they wanted to object but couldn't bring themselves to speak. The sharp killing intent in their beautiful eyes instantly melted into tenderness under Lin Yuan's bewitching gaze!

Chapter 79 The Saintess Appears

"Eh, what's that? Look!"

"What a terrifying aura!"

"Filled with holy and peaceful light."

Three soft and melodious voices rang out, coming from the Phantom Fairy, Palace Mistress of Hundred Flowers, and Lin Chaoying, who had just rushed over. Everyone looked in the direction of the voices.

A dazzling light swept in from the east. Before the sound even arrived, a powerful and terrifying pressure that made people tremble swept over the sky. Even a supreme being like Xuan Yin Fairy couldn't help but tremble slightly, let alone Wang Jingyao and the others.

Upon reaching them, everyone was horrified to discover that it was actually an ancient, powerful 'seal' character, over a thousand feet in diameter, its dazzling light covering the entire Later Han Empire's imperial palace, even more radiant than the light orbs of Dugu Qiubai and Dongfang Bubai.

Several vast, irresistible suction forces, carrying supreme pressure, descended upon Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, Xidu, Wu Chi, Ye Yuchangsheng, and the others. A series of explosions and roars resounded as destructive energy swept in all directions. Everyone hurriedly dodged, a gale arose, dark clouds instantly obscured the full moon, and countless bolts of divine lightning suddenly struck down, sparks flying. The destructive power permeating the imperial palace, the supreme pressure, like a whale swallowing the Yangtze River, compressed towards Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, and the others.

The sword's power was astonishing, with thousands of sword shadows scattering in all directions, yet none could penetrate the powerful suction emanating from the 'Seal' character light cluster. Countless divine lightning bolts struck it, further intensifying the powerful sealing force of the 'Seal' character light cluster.

"What, what is going on?" Lin Yuan exclaimed in astonishment, his eyes wide. This was too incredible! A 'Seal' character light cluster that appeared out of nowhere had actually trapped several supreme beings, rendering them unable to move. What on earth was this thing? Everyone stared in fear at the sudden events unfolding before them, unable to answer his question.

"This is the Holy Maiden's 'Holy Maiden Seal'," Tian Xiao Tianji said after a moment's thought, looking at him with worry.

"'Holy Maiden Seal'? What is that?" Lin Yuan asked hastily, startled.

"'Holy Maiden Seal' is a supreme sealing technique used by this Holy Maiden to maintain spatial order from being destroyed by those who break through the void," a soft and unusually beautiful voice descended from the heavens.

Everyone stared in astonishment as a long-haired girl in purple robes, radiating an ethereal and divine aura, descended slowly from the sky atop a seven-colored cloud.

A deity—a legendary being who transcends life and death, a being above all mortals!

This was the first thought on everyone's mind upon seeing the girl in purple!

Could it be that Tianxiao Tianji's words about the celestial realm appearing and the attainment of immortality and godhood were not mere empty talk? This was the second thought on everyone's mind after seeing the girl in purple.

After a brief moment of shock and disbelief, all the martial arts masters present became unusually excited. The celestial realm truly existed! Breaking through the void with martial arts was not a myth! As long as they strived and broke through their own cultivation, one day they could step into the legendary realm of immortality, roaming freely beyond the nine heavens.

Amidst this euphoria, however, a discordant thought arose within one person's heart.

This sudden appearance of a beautiful woman in purple seemed to belong to someone who possessed life energy. Could she be a legendary deity? But judging from her appearance, she bore a striking resemblance to those who possessed life energy. How could such an unusual existence exist in this chaotic spacetime?

Was she a superhuman, a life energy user, or even a human from another spacetime with abilities beyond the natural order? Sigh, what a headache. Lin Yuan pondered to himself, then calmly looked at the girl in purple and said, "You are Xuan Yin, the 'Holy Maiden' that Tian Ji and the others spoke of."

His arrogant attitude immediately drew stares from everyone. How could one be so disrespectful to a celestial being? Lin Yuan came from the Lin family, the number one royal family in the universe during the Great Universe Federation era 50,000 years in the future. His family had countless forbidden experts, and those who could fly were everywhere. He didn't believe in any talk of immortals or gods.

"Indeed, I am Saintess Jiang, the descendant of Jiang Shang, the messenger of the Jade Decree appointed by the goddess Nuwa in the ancient legends of the Heavenly Gods' Investiture List." The girl in purple nodded in response, a fleeting glint of brilliance flashing in her eyes as she looked at Lin Yuan before instantly returning to her cold indifference.
"

The

Heavenly Gods' Investiture List, the goddess Nuwa, the messenger of the Jade Decree Jiang Shang... this... this joke has gone too far!" Lin Yuan gasped, stammering.

Nuwa, one of the supreme deities in ancient Chinese legends, was said to have created humans and mended the heavens with stones, revered by countless generations of people. Later, many scientists from the Great Universe Federation, after numerous discussions and studies, concluded that all of this was nothing but nonsense.

Within the Lin family's Light Brain Research Center in Lingdi City, the scriptures of the Cosmic King's Evolution Theory contain research data from various sources. Nuwa, as a forbidden, heaven-defying supreme being, did exist, but after the passage of countless years, her current whereabouts are unknown. The universe is vast, with countless spatial boundaries. Those who evolve to the level of heaven-defying supreme beings possess power sufficient to change the world and achieve immortality. This is the main reason why all humanity in the Great Universe Federation strives for the infinite evolution of the body.

In Lin Yuan's eyes, the so-called Celestial Realm is merely a place where, in the era of the Great Universe Federation in the later period, humans evolved from super-evolvers to life energy beings, freely gathering together to find another planet or create another dimensional space to live in. The so-called great gods are just a small group of people in human society who have surpassed others and obtained new forms of human energy development; there is nothing extraordinary about them.

However, even with his advanced knowledge that surpasses that of the supreme beings of the chaotic time and space, the shock he felt upon suddenly learning that Nuwa once existed in this world was still overwhelming.

The crowd present was almost petrified upon hearing this.

A descendant of Jiang Shang, the messenger of the goddess Nuwa's decree? This Saintess Jiang's background was truly immense! No wonder she rendered Dugu Qiubai and the others powerless with a mere wave of her hand.

The crowd looked at her with a mixture of shock, fear, dread, and excitement—the meanings varied, yet all conveyed one message: the Celestial Realm truly existed, and achieving immortality through martial arts breakthroughs was indeed achievable.

"Oh, since you are a descendant of Jiang Shang, why did you ambush them and seal them away? Didn't they enter the Celestial Realm after breaking through the void, making them different from you?" After a brief moment of shock, Lin Yuan regained his senses, looked at Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, and the others trapped by the 'seal' orb of light, and asked.

"In this space, there are five realms: Yin, Human, Cultivator, Saint, and Heaven. The realm of those who break through the void is the Saint Realm. Apart from the Heaven Realm, which is the supreme ruler, the Saint Realm has the greatest strength and destructive power. Since the Five Realms Annihilation War a million years ago, the seal of the Five Realms has been quelled for many years. Your arrival has caused spacetime to become disordered, which in turn has led to changes in the world. Many powerful beings in the human realm have been able to break through their cultivation and enter the Saint Realm. Some mysterious powerful beings of unknown origin can even roam freely without restraint. The Heavenly Emperor could not bear to see the order of the world disrupted, so he had no choice but to send me down to the mortal realm to fight and seal some powerful beings of unknown origin and those who are about to enter the Saint Realm," said Saintess Jiang coldly.

"You mean that the root of this spatial chaos is my existence, so I cannot avoid your seal either," Lin Yuan said calmly.

“Initially, I did intend to do so,” Saintess Jiang nodded. Xuan Yin Fairy, Tian Xiao Tian Ji, and the other women nervously surrounded Lin Yuan, watching Saintess Jiang warily.

“However, I have now changed my mind.” Saintess Jiang looked at their tense expressions and said slowly.

“What do you mean?” Lin Yuan asked, puzzled. Not being sealed by her was naturally a good thing. Even forbidden figures like Dugu Qiubai and Dongfang Bubai were no match for her, let alone himself. He didn't want to be sealed like a corpse.

However, Lin Yuan didn't know that Saintess Jiang had only recently ascended to the Heavenly Realm thanks to the blessings of her ancestors. With her own power, she couldn't possibly subdue the combined counterattack of Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, Ximen Chuixue, and the others. Their strength was nearing the Void Breaking Realm, only a step away from the Immortal Realm. A single battle wouldn't be a problem, but with all seven of them combined, she had no chance of winning. The reason Saintess Jiang was able to easily trap the seven was due to a hidden accomplice and the combined effect of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder from the Heavenly Realm, along with a sudden sneak attack. If it had been a direct attack, she wouldn't have been able to handle even one Dongfang Bubai, let alone the seven supreme beings. Lin Yuan, unaware of the truth, thought it was all a display of Saintess Jiang's supreme divine power. While Saintess Jiang secretly rejoiced, she didn't reveal the truth, maintaining her aloof demeanor.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed; you will know in the future. Now, I would like to invite you to a place as a guest. What do you say?" Saintess Jiang said mysteriously, her expression unfathomable.

"A guest? Where?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.

"Saintess!" Xuan Yin Fairy and Tian Xiao Tian Ji cried out in fear.

"I have my own arrangements. I will not harm him. Rest assured," Saintess Jiang said calmly. Hearing this, the two women relaxed, their gazes towards Lin Yuan filled with affection.

"You think too highly of yourself to hurt me." Lin Yuan was greatly displeased upon hearing this, a surge of arrogance rising within him, and a fierce killing intent instantly spreading outwards.

"Husband, no!" Fairy Xuanyin hurriedly stopped him.

Chapter 81 Time-Space Priest

"Time-Space Priest, come out." Saintess Jiang waved her hand dismissively at Fairy Xuanyin, and with a delicate cry, a stunningly beautiful girl in blue, with long, black hair reaching her waist, suddenly appeared, her beautiful eyes like water and mist, adding to her beauty. Lin Yuan was suddenly struck by her breathtaking beauty and was stunned. Yang Xiaoxie and Wang Jingyao also kept swallowing their saliva. Standing with Saintess Jiang, Fairy Xuanyin, and the Palace Mistress of the Hundred Flowers Palace, she was simply the queen of all flowers, a celestial being, her beauty unparalleled in the world.

"Emperor, do you want to return to the future?"

An exceptionally melodious voice, like a dream, made Lin Yuan's bones go weak and his muscles go numb. Her voice alone was enough to make one's soul tremble; to spend a night with her would surely be even more unforgettable. Looking at her stunning beauty, Lin Yuan felt a fleeting, erotic thought.

The girl in blue, unperturbed by Lin Yuan's inappropriate gaze, didn't get angry. She gently repeated herself twice before Lin Yuan snapped out of his daze, feeling a pang of shame. He, with his captivating beauty and alluring charm, had actually been bewitched by a woman's charm—how humiliating!

Yang Xiaoxie seemed to know the girl in blue's power; he was surprisingly obedient, standing silently to the side. Wang Jingyao felt a surge of inferiority and awe, unable to harbor any erotic thoughts, only looking at her with reverence.

"The future...it's incredible! Do you have the ability to reverse time?" Lin Yuan smiled, concealing his shame and the shock he felt upon hearing her words, his eerie purple and golden eyes fixed on her.

"Although I don't possess the power of the Time God, sending you back to the future isn't difficult. Whatever method you used to arrive in this world, I will use the same method to send you back," the Time Priestess said with a faint smile.

"Oh, really?" Lin Yuan was surprised. Did she also possess a time-space converter? But could this ancient celestial maiden really possess advanced technology from the future? It was truly unbelievable. His expression remained unchanged, merely gazing calmly at the beautiful Time Priestess.

"Emperor, you are so handsome. If it weren't for unavoidable circumstances, I truly wouldn't bear to send you back. However, we will meet again soon. I hope you won't disappoint me then," the Time Priestess said with captivating charm.

Lin Yuan was almost dizzy from her soft voice. If the Palace Mistress of the Inviting Moon Palace hadn't pinched him hard on the back, he wouldn't have known to come to his senses.

"Oh, really? I certainly won't disappoint you," Lin Yuan replied, bewildered.

"Very well, Your Majesty, please." The Time-Space Priest casually made a gesture, and a dazzling light flashed, a bright spot shooting straight into the sky. With a deafening roar, the firmament abruptly tore open a giant hole, and a powerful suction force formed an irresistible whirlwind that swept towards Lin Yuan.

"A time-space converter... wait, this doesn't seem like it. A time-space shuttle... that doesn't seem like it either." Lin Yuan stared blankly at the bright spot in the sky, his mind filled with questions.

"Husband, get out of the way quickly!" The anxious voice of the Palace Mistress of Yaoyue rang in his ears, and Lin Yuan was startled to feel the powerful wind approaching.

"Damn it!" Lin Yuan snorted inwardly, and a spear of concentrated energy shot straight into the bright spot in the sky.

"Your Majesty, why make a futile struggle? It's not like we're doomed to meet again. You're cultivating here, and you're cultivating back in the future. How do you know there aren't supreme experts in the other world who can serve as your cultivation furnace?" The Time-Space Priest's words revealed the secret in Lin Yuan's heart, leaving him secretly shocked.

How did she know his secret? The thought had barely crossed Lin Yuan's mind when the Time-Space Priest casually unleashed an irresistible force, sending him into the black hole. Her

unfathomable cultivation was truly astonishing! A gentle palm strike had rendered Lin Yuan utterly powerless to resist; it was terrifying.

"Your Majesty, I am the Time-Space Priest Fei Yinyue. Please return quickly; I will wait for you forever." The Time-Space Priestess's alluring smile still lingered in his mind's eye, but that beautiful voice was the only sound Lin Yuan heard after being helplessly drawn into the black hole.

How had she broken through the space-time boundary? This was Lin Yuan's only thought after entering the black hole.

The black hole appeared and closed instantly, and Lin Yuan had mysteriously vanished into the sky. If it weren't for the destructive aura that still lingered above the palace, no one would believe that what they were witnessing was real.

A point of white light shot from the hand of the silent, coldly observing Saintess Jiang, disappearing abruptly where the black hole had appeared.

"Holy Maiden, what are you doing?" the Time-Space Priest asked curiously.

"Just adding a seal to him," the Holy Maiden Jiang said calmly.

"Don't you trust him? How long can a seal confine him in the future?" the Time-Space Priest said indifferently.

"Let nature take its course," the Holy Maiden Jiang said calmly.

"Damn it, give my husband back to me!" Palace Mistress Yaoyue watched in shock as her beloved disappeared. After a long while, she recovered from her grief and anger and shouted angrily. Lin Chaoying and Wu Xingyun shared the same thought. Although they were afraid of the Holy Maiden Jiang and the Time-Space Priest's terrifying power, the three women still rushed forward at the same time. Their fierce killing moves swept across the sky, and their strong killing aura was terrifying.

"Don't get excited. In three to five years, a brand new Heavenly Beauty Emperor will reappear in the world." Saintess Jiang casually deflected the three women's fierce attacks. She understood the women's grief and anger at losing their lovers, so she simply dodged without retaliating.

Fairy Xuanyin and Heavenly Maiden Tianxiao, although they knew the outcome would be this way, were still depressed. Fairy Huanying, Palace Master Baihua, Yao Chuming, Yao Chufei, and An Huier breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then felt extremely lost and empty.

"What do you mean by that?" Palace Master Yaoyue looked at her with suspicion and anger.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. If you don't believe me, Fairy Xuanyin and Heavenly Maiden Tianxiao can testify for me." Saintess Jiang said calmly. Palace Master Yaoyue looked over upon hearing this. Lin Chaoying, Wu Xingyun, and all the women were looking at them. The two women nodded at the same time.

"Very well, I'll trust you this once. If my husband doesn't appear in five years, I'll fight my way to the Heavenly Realm to find him," Palace Mistress Yaoyue said coldly.

"As long as you have the ability, I'm always welcome," Saintess Jiang said with a faint smile.

"Hmph, I will never disappoint my husband." After saying this, Palace Mistress Yaoyue went back to cultivate diligently. Sure enough, when Lin Yuan reappeared, she reached the Celestial Realm. Illusionary Fairy, Palace Mistress Baihua, Lin Chaoying, and Wu Xingyun were not to be outdone, and successively entered the Martial Void Breaking Realm. Saintess Jiang did not expect that her unintentional remark would inspire such determination in the women. However, this was also what she hoped to see in her heart. But that's a story for later.

"Saintess, Time-Space Priest, how will you deal with Dugu Qiubai, Dongfang Bubai, and the others?" Wang Jingyao, having accidentally discovered such a shocking secret, was filled with fear, apprehension, and curiosity, and couldn't help but ask.

"How to handle this is up to Heaven. Emperor Han, you need not worry too much. Farewell," the Time-Space Priestess said calmly. With a flick of her wrist, the 'Seal' character light ball mysteriously disappeared, and she too vanished from everyone's sight.

Saintess Jiang smiled slightly, like a spring breeze. Before anyone could react, she too mysteriously vanished.

A grand, martial arts-focused event was greatly diminished by the sudden appearance of Saintess Jiang and the Time-Space Priestess. Although the Supreme Ranking Competition did not end there, it lost its luster!

The Forbidden City was thrown into turmoil; Saintess Jiang and the Time-Space Priestess, two abnormally powerful forbidden women, were now deeply etched in the hearts of the assembled elites.

Volume Two: The Sealing Journey,

Chapter 1: Mind Transfer.

Lin Yuan was extremely frustrated. He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, waves of intense dizziness washing over him, like a dreamlike flurry of flowers, as if countless hours had passed, the scenes of the strange events flashing through his mind. Unexpectedly

, when he opened his eyes, everything around him seemed strangely unfamiliar.

The body wasn't his own, and the women beside him had changed to two unfamiliar yet beautiful middle-aged women.

"Where is this? Who are you? And what's the name of the owner of this body?" Lin Yuan asked, bewildered, after taking in his surroundings. In his memory, he should be in the Later Han Dynasty Imperial Palace. Had the Time-Space Priest really sent him back to the future? He pondered to himself, staring intently at the beautiful women opposite him.

"Open, you really don't remember? I am your wife, Dongfang Qian." A tall, elegant middle-aged woman with a noble air said with anxious concern.

"Dongfang Qian? I don't know her." Lin Yuan was taken aback.

"Have you lost your memory?" The other, petite middle-aged woman asked, startled.

"Lost your memory? Hmph, impossible! I am the Heavenly Beauty Emperor, Lin Yuan. And who are you? Why do you say such things?" Lin Yuan sneered.

"Lin Yuan, open! Are you kidding me? I'm your maid, Junyan! Mo Junyan, don't you remember me at all?" she said anxiously.

"I don't recognize you. Forget it, talking to you will only cause more trouble. I'll find my body first, and then you'll understand," Lin Yuan said calmly.

After the intense dizziness upon waking, Lin Yuan finally realized that he had truly been sealed by the Time-Space Priest to an unknown space in the future. Looking at his unfamiliar body, which was two meters tall, the familiar aura of energy was nowhere to be found. A powerful yet extremely unfamiliar force filled his limbs, somewhat similar to an internal energy cultivation technique. He could easily use this power, but a strong sense of unease was deeply imprinted in his mind along with it.

He seemed to hear a call from another dimension, and he had to find his body as soon as possible, and then use the Time-Space Converter to return to the chaotic dimension. Just

as he was about to get up, a piercing pain struck him, and he cried out and fell back onto the bed. A fragmented memory quickly surfaced in his mind.

A name that transcends time, transcends history.

Two flashes of light appeared, and Lin Yuan slowly stood up. Dongfang Qian and Mo Junyan hurriedly reached out to support him, asking with concern, "Kai, are you alright?"

"I am Lin Yuan. You can also call me the Heavenly Beauty Emperor. I am not your Kai," Lin Yuan said calmly, pushing away their soft hands.

The intense pain just now allowed him to glimpse the mental imprint of this body, and instantly restored his lost memories. When the Time-Space Priest sealed him, Jiang Saintess's 'Saintess Seal' forcibly forced his thoughts out of his body, which, by a twist of fate, moved into Shi Kai's body, the body Lin Yuan was now residing in.

Thoughts, also called soul consciousness or awareness, are referred to as mind or soul by the world. According to worldly views, once a human body dies, thought also ceases. In unknown worlds, through evolution or cultivation paths, some exceptionally talented individuals have mastered abilities that transcend limitations, allowing their thoughts to exist beyond their physical bodies in this world.

The names for each boundary vary depending on the method of evolution or cultivation. Ordinary people call the consciousness that transcends the physical body ghosts or spirits, cultivators call it the primordial spirit, evolvers call it a thought imprint or soul imprint, those who break through the void call it battle intent or battle soul, and those at the supreme level call it the life inheritance mark or heavenly inheritance. Of course, a few unconventional cultivators call it the life spirit fire…

Having lost the physical limitations of super evolution, Lin Yuan's mental state underwent a qualitative leap. His memories from taking the Forgetfulness Pill returned one by one, and a large amount of information was copied from Shi Kai's dormant mind into his brain.

"After sleeping for so many years, Shi Kai, it's time for you to come out of the mountains." Lin Yuan snorted, his previous dejected expression vanishing, replaced by a powerful confidence, revealing an aura of a supreme ruler. The two women were immediately stunned.

"Kai, where are you going?" Seeing Lin Yuan turn to leave, Mo Junyan quickly grabbed him and asked.

"Down the mountain," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"No, you've just woken up, your injuries haven't fully healed yet. I won't allow you to go down the mountain," Dongfang Qian said urgently, hugging him tightly.

"No one can stop me," Lin Yuan said, breaking free from her embrace. In a blur, he was already out of the bedroom.

"Come on, you should ask your master before going down the mountain," Mo Junyan said, chasing after him.

"No need, he's already here," Lin Yuan said, stopping abruptly.

"You brat, you got injured for no reason, but your listening skill has become even more powerful, it's practically divine. Hmm, not bad, not bad." An old voice rang out, and silently, an old man in white robes with white hair reaching his waist suddenly appeared before him.

Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly. Listening skill was a basic skill for super-evolved individuals, easily mastered by any top-tier expert in the chaotic martial arts world. For him, a supreme figure among super-evolved individuals who had reached the early stage of the Sky Awakening realm, it was nothing. Although the white-robed old man's lightness skill was unparalleled, it was still slightly inferior compared to the peerless masters in the chaotic martial arts world. However, his hand blade, which could shift shadows and change shape, and condense water into force, had its merits.

"Senior, you flatter me. I am unworthy of such praise." Although he understood the reason, Lin Yuan still feigned humility.

"Your name is Lin Yuan, not Shi Kai." The white-robed elder looked at Lin Yuan with appreciation and suddenly said.

"Yes." Lin Yuan nodded.

"Good, you can go down the mountain if you wish, but only if you can pass my test." The white-robed elder nodded.

"Master!" Dongfang Qian and Mo Junyan cried out anxiously upon hearing this.

"Qian'er, Jun'er, if he passes the test, you can accompany him down the mountain." The white-robed elder smiled and stopped the two women.

"Thank you, Master." Hearing this, the two women had no choice but to respectfully step aside.

Lin Yuan stared at the three without reacting until the white-robed elder smiled and gestured to him. Only then did he calmly say, "This junior has offended you."

Chapter 2 Shi Kai's Identity

A blur of motion rushed forward. The white-robed elder smiled slightly. Suddenly, Lin Yuan conjured countless afterimages of attacks, and a terrifyingly sharp killing intent surged forth. Upon seeing this, the white-robed elder was startled. He was curious about this strange movement technique, which he had never seen before. What kind of ultimate skill was this?

Several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. The white-robed elder instinctively dodged and weaved, his speed like lightning. Lin Yuan, who considered himself to have reached his speed limit, was still astonished by the white-robed elder's speed. This unknown space actually possessed such a master. This unassuming man's speed was almost comparable to his own.

Before they could even think, the two were as fast as the wind, exchanging hundreds of blows in an instant! Dongfang Qian and Mo Junyan watched in a daze, stunned by the two's battle that surpassed their limits.

"Hahaha, thank you for your recognition, senior."

With a hearty laugh, Lin Yuan suddenly turned to the left, his left hand grabbing swiftly, then lightly stepping back. His body, concealed by a flurry of afterimages, spun to the right. His right hand swept through the air, his sharp finger strike silently severing a section of the white-robed elder's sleeve.

The movements were lightning fast, instantly drawing back the curtain. The two women stared at him in astonishment, while the afterimages hadn't completely vanished.

"Hmm, you've graduated, brat. It seems your unconsciousness didn't diminish your skill; in fact, it improved. You've even mastered the Shadow Shift technique to its peak. I'm deeply gratified," the white-robed elder said with a slight surprise, then laughed heartily. Despite being defeated by his disciple, his face showed no sign of dejection, but rather a deep sense of pleasure.

This wasn't just "Shadow Shifting," it was the Illusion Fairy's Thousand Transformations attack form. Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly, but didn't reveal that he had secretly learned someone else's ultimate technique. Instead, he admired the white-robed elder's magnanimous spirit.

"Open! You're amazing! I haven't seen you surpass Master in so many years. Even if you barely passed, it must have been incredibly difficult. I didn't expect you to pass so easily this time. You're truly amazing!" Dongfang Qian exclaimed joyfully.

"This is too unexpected, truly amazing!" Mo Junyan muttered to herself, her jade-like face revealing intense excitement.

"Farewell," Lin Yuan said respectfully, not even glancing at the two women, and turned to fly away. Although the white-robed elder's "Shadow Shifting" could be considered a unique skill, it was still far inferior to the Illusion Fairy's "Thousand Transformations." When Lin Yuan was a super-evolved being, he excelled in lightness skills. Even Dugu Qiubai, who had reached the forbidden realm of perfect harmony between heaven and man, couldn't keep up with his speed, let alone the white-robed elder. Although his mind resided in Shi Kai's body, Lin Yuan easily activated Shi Kai's dormant power. The white-robed elder could be considered a peerless master in this space, but compared to Lin Yuan, who had participated in the Sword Tournament and secretly learned the unique skills of several peerless masters, he was far inferior. If Lin Yuan hadn't spared his face and held back, the white-robed elder would have been defeated within three to five moves, and wouldn't have been able to withstand hundreds of moves. However, these inner workings could only be understood between the two during the final battle, and could not be spoken of. The white-robed elder stared blankly at Lin Yuan's departing figure.

"Master," the two women looked at the white-robed elder as Lin Yuan flew away.

"Fate cannot be changed. Even if he is not Kai'er, you must help him find his lost body. Besides, he and you have already consummated your marriage. Go and see Xiao Tingting." The white-robed elder snapped out of his reverie and smiled faintly.

"Master means that even if he weren't Kai, with Ting'er studying there, Kai's dormant mind would still compel him to visit XX University." Dongfang Qian, worthy of her Cambridge postdoctoral background, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly realized.

"Kai'er is already seventy years old. Although he remains eternally youthful, he dotes on this daughter born in his old age. Even if he encounters any misfortune, his fatherly love will still make him think of this precious daughter first. Even if his mind enters a dormant state, his subconscious will still prompt him to approach Tingting and protect her. No one can stop the power of the subconscious." The white-robed elder stroked his beard and smiled.

"Master is right. Sister Qian, let's set off immediately." Mo Junyan said urgently.

"Master," Dongfang Qian looked at the white-robed elder, a hint of hesitation flashing across her jade-like face.

"Go, don't worry about me. Though your face may appear calm, your heart has probably already flown to X City. Since the second Black List battle twenty years ago, you haven't left Shennongjia for twenty years. It's time to settle your ties with the mortal world." The white-robed elder said thoughtfully.

"Yes, Master," the two women replied respectfully, bowing three times before flying away.

"When the Heavenly Beauty appears, the winds rise; when the Emperor lives, time and space are in chaos. Alas, fate is hard to defy." The white-robed elder shook his head and sighed softly.

A gentle breeze stirred, and the space returned to calm. Lin Yuan, a student at

XX University in Z City

, sat in a luxuriously decorated restaurant opposite the university, slowly eating his meal while his mind kept replaying the strange encounters of the past few days.

During a banquet at the Great Han Imperial Palace, Lin Yuan was sealed by a mysteriously appearing Time-Space Priest. His mind was forced to transfer to someone else's body by the Holy Maiden Jiang. Despite being a supreme being in the human realm, he was utterly powerless against the Time-Space Priest, a fact that filled Lin Yuan with frustration. After adapting to this space, he initially thought Shi Kai was just an ordinary person. However, by digging into Shi Kai's dormant mental imprints, he was astonished to discover that Shi Kai was actually one of the rare and unparalleled powerhouses in this space.

Shi Kai, formerly known as Shi Aotian, was the son of Shi Tianqun, the commander of the X Military Region in the 21st century of ancient China. He had an older sister, Shi Ting. Unfortunately, his parents and sister were killed by assassins hired by his political enemies when he was in fifth grade. Seeking revenge, he wandered far and wide, searching for a master to learn martial arts. Later, he was rescued by a reclusive master in white robes from Shennongjia, who took him in as an outer disciple and devoted himself to teaching him.

After ten years of rigorous training, Shi Kai descended the mountain to track down the assassins who murdered his parents and elder sister. He changed his name to Shi Aotian and infiltrated the Black List, then the world's largest assassin organization, becoming a legendary super assassin. He later avenged his family, but was then consumed by inner demons. During a battle with the six guards of the Black List, he accidentally killed his beloved Mo Junyan, leading him to dedicate himself to destroying the organization. With the help of his friends (the Black List's top assassins) Tuoya, Yumo, Bianwu, Wulie, and Death, he successfully destroyed the Black List. After the war, he retired to Shennongjia in sorrow. Dongfang Qian, driven by love, tracked him down and waited for him for several years, finally moving Shi Kai to become her wife. They had a son, named Shi Huaijun in memory of Mo Junyan.

Eighteen years later, Shi Huaijun, in a moment of playfulness, lost the divine beast, the water monster. In a panic, he secretly went down the mountain to search for it, hiding it from his parents. Shi Kai, concerned for his son, also went down the mountain, only to discover that the Black List's power had resurfaced, spreading across the globe and even more formidable than before. Zhou Yun, the leader of the Black List, learned of Shi Huaijun's return and used forbidden science, far ahead of its time, to clone Mo Junyan, inadvertently copying Mo Junyan's memories from his previous life. Shi Aotian fell into a trap and went to investigate, nearly losing his life. Later, with the help of Tuoya, Yu Mo, Bian Wu, Wu Lie, Wu Hong, and the Grim Reaper, he rescued Mo Junyan and destroyed the Black List once more. He then retired to Shennongjia with his wife, where they had a daughter, whom they named Shi Siting in memory of their deceased sister.

Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. The young lad of yesteryear is now a man in his seventies, but thanks to his master's efforts in transforming his body by collecting rare and exotic herbs from Shennongjia in his youth, he has long since retained his youthful appearance. Lin Yuan's thoughts reside within this body. Although he has lost the alluring aura of the Seductive Cluster, the innate charm rooted within his mind, mixed with a kingly aura that reigns supreme over all beings, makes him even more attractive.

He leaves Shennongjia aimlessly, but finds himself drawn to X University in Z City. This is where Dongfang Qian met Shi Kai when she was in university. Shi Kai's subconscious compels him to go there, and at the same time, he doesn't want to reject the existence of this unfamiliar daughter, Shi Siting.

"Sigh, the Time-Space Priest actually possesses such supernatural powers, actually sending me from the chaotic ancient dynasty of two thousand years ago back to the Republic era of two thousand years later. What an unexpected turn of events! Luckily, she didn't send me back to the era of the Great Cosmic Development three thousand years later, the Star Wars era where nations fought over mineral resources, otherwise, I would have been in deep trouble." Lin Yuan looked at the bustling scene of people and cars outside the door, secretly relieved but also feeling extremely frustrated.

In fact, the Time-Space Priest's cultivation was unfathomable, but her supernatural powers had spatial limitations. She couldn't possibly have sent Lin Yuan back two thousand years. This was all just an effect caused by the time-space converter that Lin Yuan carried with him being accidentally impacted by the energy of a fierce battle. The Time-Space Priest's original intention was only to seal Lin Yuan in a dimensional space for cultivation, but who knew that by a twist of fate, Lin Yuan would return to the Republic era. This was an unexpected accident that no one could have predicted, and Lin Yuan could only resign himself to his fate and grumble inwardly.

Chapter 3 A Daughter, Tingting

"Daddy, Daddy!" A clear, melodious voice rang out, snapping Lin Yuan out of his reverie. He then noticed a sweet and charming girl looking at him with wide, beautiful eyes, filled with surprise and curiosity.

Could this be Shi Siting, Shi Kai's daughter? Lin Yuan thought to himself, but forced a smile and said, "It's been a while since I last saw you, and my Ting'er has grown even more beautiful."

"Really?" Shi Siting exclaimed happily upon hearing her father's praise.

"Of course, who could be more beautiful than my Ting'er?" Lin Yuan said with a faint smile, now fully embracing the role of Shi Kai's father.

"That's true," Shi Siting replied without any modesty.

"By the way, Daddy, don't you never come down the mountain? Why did you come down to see Ting'er this time? Didn't your mothers come down with you?" Shi Siting asked curiously.

"Daddy had important business to attend to this time. I made a special trip through X City to see you. As for your mothers, they should be arriving soon," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Really? That's wonderful! I haven't seen them for three years. Ting'er really misses them!" Shi Siting exclaimed happily.

"Daddy, what important business do you have that requires you to come down the mountain personally?" Shi Siting then asked.

What an inquisitive little girl, so many questions! Lin Yuan said calmly, "Children shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Even if there's nothing important, can't Daddy come down the mountain?"

"Daddy, this isn't like you," Shi Siting said curiously.

Oh no, has she discovered something amiss? Lin Yuan thought to himself, but Shi Siting laughed and said, "Daddy, you're so handsome. It would be such a waste to bury yourself deep in the mountains forever. It's good to spend more time traveling in the outside world. Ting'er will definitely support you. Hehe, walking down the street, Daddy, you'll definitely charm many women."

"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Daddy came down the mountain to take care of business, not to flirt with women," Lin Yuan said, slightly embarrassed, his face darkening as he feigned displeasure.

"Yes, yes, Dad is the most upright person, alright? Dad, you haven't been down the mountain for over twenty years. Ting'er will take you to see my school, hehe, the school where Qian's mother was a tutor when she was young. It would be nice to reminisce about the place where you two met, hehe, how romantic!" Shi Siting giggled.

Without waiting for Lin Yuan's reaction, she paid the bill, pulled him along, and headed towards the school. Giving him no time to think, Lin Yuan smiled wryly and could only let her pull him forward.

"Dad, what's our school like?"

"Dad, you haven't been here for over forty years, have you found that feeling from back then?"

"Dad, do you feel a romantic sense of nostalgia?"

Along

the way, people constantly stared at Lin Yuan. Shi Kai's physical age was already seventy, but his youthful appearance, weathered by time, combined with Lin Yuan's alluring charm, created a captivatingly wicked allure. Men were envious, women were amazed, and infatuated. Shi Siting, however, didn't seem to care at all. Instead, she was as excited as a little girl, constantly snuggling up to Lin Yuan and chattering incessantly.

Having seen countless stares from ordinary people, Lin Yuan simply smiled silently. He favored white; even in his purple holy robes, after his mind shifted, he was still dressed in white. His long hair cascaded down his shoulders, casually tied back to his waist, and his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes exuded an inherent majesty.

A strong, alluring, almost demonic charm emanated from him, captivating all who beheld him.

"Daddy, why aren't you saying anything?" Shi Siting, after her much chatter, finally noticed Lin Yuan's state and couldn't help but ask.

"You've said everything by yourself, you haven't given Daddy a chance to speak. What can Daddy say?" Lin Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Hehe, maybe Daddy is too charming. Seeing the admiring and envious looks from others, Ting'er got carried away for a moment. Daddy, please forgive me, please forgive me," Shi Siting smiled sheepishly.

Lin Yuan shook his head and smiled, continuing on his way.

"Dad, don't walk so fast, wait for me!" Shi Siting hurriedly caught up, affectionately taking his arm.

Chapter 4 Sudden Turmoil

"Tingting, you actually betrayed me!" A furious shout came from behind. Lin Yuan, Shi Siting was slightly startled, looking in the direction of the voice, only to see a tall boy chasing after them.

"Wu Ming, it's you, what are you doing here?" Shi Siting asked in surprise when she recognized the person.

"Why can't I be here? Are you afraid your lover will know I exist? Hmph, hmph, you told me you were going to the library, but you secretly met me behind my back. You've gone too far, actually toying with my feelings." Wu Ming said angrily.

"Wu Ming, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shi Siting retorted angrily.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I recorded your intimate moments the whole way. Now the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? Look, look, right in front of me, your hands are still tightly linked." Wu Ming raised the DV camera he was holding and said coldly.

"You're following me?" Shi Siting exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

"If you don't want people to know, don't do it in the first place," Wu Ming sneered.

"Wu Ming, you bastard! I trusted you so much, and you actually doubted me! This is unforgivable!" Shi Siting retorted angrily.

Wu Ming snorted coldly upon hearing this

. "Ting'er, who is this person? Why is he being so rude?" Lin Yuan had been observing the two for a long time and vaguely guessed what was going on. He couldn't help but ask.

"You brat, mind your own business! You seduced my girlfriend, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet!" Wu Ming roared, throwing a punch at Lin Yuan with his left fist.

"You bastard, slandering me is bad enough, but you even dared to hit my father! I will never forgive you, Wu Ming! Get out of here! I never want to see you again!"

Lin Yuan didn't care about Wu Ming's crude attack and grabbed his wrist. Shi Siting's angry shout rang out, and a bright red palm print quickly appeared on Wu Ming's face.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming covered his face in surprise and looked at Lin Yuan, stammering, "Tingting, you're saying this young man is your father? How is that possible? Your father is over seventy years old, how could he be so young? He should be an old man with white hair."

"Your father is the old man! My father is a hermit master, who has long since cultivated an indestructible body and eternal youth. How can he be compared to ordinary mortals? Humph, you frog in a well, so ignorant!" Shi Siting retorted angrily.

"Dad, let's go." Shi Siting immediately grabbed Lin Yuan's hand and turned to leave.

"Tingting, let me explain!" Wu Ming hurriedly chased after her, his anxious expression completely forgetting the pain on his face.

"Don't bother me!" Shi Siting glared at him with disgust, grabbed Lin Yuan's delicate body, and leaped away, disappearing in an instant.

"Ah, Tingting!" Wu Ming hurriedly reached out to grab her, but shattered the afterimage.

Could there really be a hermit master? Why are they so fast? This was the first time Wu Ming had witnessed Shi Siting's astonishing strength. He stared in shock at the direction the two had disappeared, filled with inward regret. He had only heard a gust of wind, and Shi Siting had already mysteriously vanished before his eyes with Lin Yuan; it was truly astonishing.

Chapter 5 Rescuing a Lifeline

Shi Siting pulled Lin Yuan along, speeding along, leaping and bounding past several school districts before finally stopping.

A fifteen-story building appeared before them, a large crowd gathered at its base, craning their necks to look up, the noise rising and falling. A luxurious red sports car was about to drive by, but was blocked by the crowd.

"Hey, isn't that the 'arrogant' sports car? Why isn't everyone letting it pass? Could it be..." Shi Siting, still angry, suddenly noticed the crowd and muttered to herself in confusion. She followed the crowd's gaze to the top of the building and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no! Wang Chengjie is going to jump! Dad, we have to get there quickly to save her!"

"Ting'er, what's going on?" Lin Yuan had already noticed the abnormality, but not understanding what was happening, he was being pulled forward by Shi Siting's hand, and asked in bewilderment.

"'Arrogant' was the nickname of Wei Sen, the genius guitarist at our school. He was handsome and dashing, but exceptionally cold. His academic performance was average, but he played his broken guitar with unparalleled skill, making him the dream of every girl in the school. Later, his talent was discovered by Xingyi Singing Company, and he became a superstar singer. Unfortunately, he was as cold as ice and never easily approached people, shattering the hearts of countless young girls."

"Wang Chengjie is the only daughter of School Director Wang. She ranks first in the entire school academically and is stunningly beautiful, topping the list of the ten most beautiful girls on campus. Countless handsome and talented men have pursued her relentlessly. However, she has fallen for 'Arrogant' (a nickname for a man who is arrogant and unapproachable). From her freshman to junior year, for thousands of days and nights, she has waited devotedly and pursued him relentlessly. 'Arrogant' not only unmoved, but he also tears her carefully written love letters to shreds in front of her every day, without even looking at them, and humiliates her with cold words. Today's scene must be her last hope. Sigh, to die for her cause, she's truly devoted. In the 21st century, there aren't many people this devoted anymore. If it were me, I'd probably be moved long ago," Shi Siting said with pity.

"Boring, childish," Lin Yuan said, though moved inside, he still coldly snorted.

"Dad, aren't you moved?" Shi Siting asked, dissatisfied with Lin Yuan's expressionless and unmoved face.

"Oh, so touching, so very touching," Lin Yuan said, feigning emotion.

"If I ever meet someone I truly love, I will be just as devoted as Wang Chengjie," Shi Siting said wistfully.

"It's already a blessing that others haven't committed suicide for you, and you want to emulate them? Hehe," Lin Yuan said with a faint smile. "

Dad, you're so mean! Can't I even fantasize a little?" Shi Siting protested playfully.

"Hehe, of course you can, but my Ting'er is so beautiful, how could she commit suicide for some ordinary man? You can just fantasize, but you can't actually try it," Lin Yuan teased with a light laugh. "

Ting'er isn't that silly. Dad is so handsome and charming, how can any other man compare to you? How could Ting'er bear to leave you? If I can't find a suitable one outside, I'd rather never marry than not stay by Dad's side for the rest of my life," Shi Siting said with a sweet laugh.

"Silly girl, you're talking nonsense," Lin Yuan laughed.

"Ting'er isn't talking nonsense. Ting'er will stay by Daddy's side for the rest of her life." Shi Siting smiled sweetly, then suddenly her smile vanished, as if she were a different person. She

stared intently at Lin Yuan, her voice firm. Did this little girl have a father complex? Lin Yuan was taken aback, pondering this, and suddenly found himself in a dilemma.

"Oh no, Daddy, hurry and save her!" Shi Siting suddenly cried out, looking towards the top of the building. Lin Yuan

looked in the direction of her voice and saw a long-haired girl with outstretched arms, staring intently at a red sports car. She smiled sadly and jumped from the fifteenth floor.

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as they rushed forward to catch the falling girl.

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan leaped forward. A whirlwind swept by, and Lin Yuan, having reached his maximum speed, landed on the fifth-floor wall in a few leaps, just in time to catch the plummeting long-haired girl.

A wave of bitterness suddenly washed over Lin Yuan. His vision blurred, his breath caught in his throat, and he nearly vomited blood. Although he had desperately tried to absorb the immense force of the sudden fall, he was still exhausted. His body plummeted several meters before he managed to regain his balance and leap back up.

The onlookers, witnessing this, gasped in astonishment. What had just happened was truly shocking and unbelievable.

The legendary art of scaling walls was real! Seeing such a feat made them feel their lives had been worthwhile.

Shi Siting, seeing her father so proudly displayed before everyone, couldn't hide the smugness on her face. Lin Yuan, however, had no time to pay attention to the reactions of the crowd. Holding the long-haired girl, he quickly stepped over the wall, leaping and vaulting to the rooftop balcony of the fifteenth floor.

Several middle-aged women, their eyes filled with gratitude and fear, rushed towards him.

"Thank you, thank you..." The woman at the head of the group snatched Wang Chengjie from Lin Yuan's arms, tears streaming down her face.

"No need to be polite," Lin Yuan said calmly. "But keep a close eye on this ignorant and troublesome girl. I can save her once, but I can't save her a second time."

"Yes, yes, that's for sure. Thank you for your help, benefactor," the middle-aged woman said gratefully. "May I ask your name, benefactor? May I have the honor of visiting my home?"

"No need," Lin Yuan said calmly, turning around and leaping off the fifteenth floor.

"Ah, benefactor, you..." The middle-aged woman was about to speak when she witnessed the scene, and she was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

"Chairwoman Wang, our benefactor is a reclusive master. He's alright, so please don't worry," a woman beside the middle-aged woman said bravely as she approached the balcony and looked down. She caught a glimpse of Lin Yuan's departing figure, and the crowd cheered with excitement.

"It's alright, it's alright." The middle-aged woman held Wang Chengjie in her arms, speaking unconsciously. Having suffered two shocks in one day, even someone as strong as her couldn't bear it; two streams of tears dripped incessantly onto Wang Chengjie's face.

Wang Chengjie seemed oblivious, struggling incessantly, staring blankly in the direction Lin Yuan had disappeared, lost in thought.

Lin Yuan leaped down, a blur of motion sweeping through the crowd. He had already pulled Shi Siting away, unaware that a pair of vicious eyes were staring hatefully at their disappearing figures.

Chapter 6 The Ice Corpse Shocks the World In

the lobby of a hotel on the second floor,

Shi Siting was looking at a newspaper with confusion, asking curiously, "Dad, what use is this ice corpse to you? Why are you so worried about him? Is he even more important than Uncle Tuoya and Uncle Bian Wu in your heart?"

"Of course, because that body is mine," Lin Yuan thought to himself, looking at the photo, but a smile appeared on his face. He avoided answering directly and said in a low voice, "Time is tight, Dad doesn't have time to explain to you. Quickly book Dad a plane ticket to DJ City, Japan."

"Oh," Shi Siting replied, puzzled, and left unhappily.

Lin Yuan looked at the newspaper and sighed helplessly.

The headline prominently read, "Celestial Being Descends from Heaven, Shocking Secret of the Beautiful Corpse," and a photo of Lin Yuan wearing a purple holy robe and sleeping with his eyes closed occupied the entire page.

"Dad, aren't you really going to see Uncle Toya and Uncle Bian Wu?"

Shi Siting asked again at X City International Airport.

"We'll talk about it when we get back," Lin Yuan replied impatiently, then boarded the plane to DJ City, Japan. At the

Toya family home

, "Your dad really went to DJ City alone?" Toya exclaimed.

"Is something wrong, Uncle Toya?" Shi Siting was startled by his actions and asked curiously.

"He really went there for that frozen corpse," Toya said, a rare look of seriousness on his face.

"Yes," Shi Siting replied.

"Hahaha, it's finally time to come out of the mountains again!" Toya suddenly burst into laughter.

Dongfang Qian, Mo Junyan, Yu Mo, and Shi Siting looked at him in bewilderment, completely confused.

"Hey, are you out of your mind? What's wrong with you?" After a while, Yu Mo finally couldn't stand his maniacal laughter and slapped him hard.

"No, wife, have you forgotten the email Bian Wu gave us yesterday?" Toya said awkwardly, his laughter silenced by Yu Mo's slap. After decades of marriage, he still both loved and feared his wife.

"The email, what did Bian Wu say to you?" Dongfang Qian asked hurriedly. Since Lin Yuan left Shennongjia, she and Mo Junyan had followed. Because they had given Shi Siting their phone number beforehand, Shi Siting immediately went to Toya's house to reunite with her mother as soon as Lin Yuan boarded the plane to Japan.

“Oh, that email? It was sent to us by Bian Wu about the mysterious immortal corpse that appeared on Mount Fuji in Japan,” Yu Mo said thoughtfully.

“What are the details?” Mo Junyan asked.

“A few days ago, a moving ice corpse mysteriously appeared on Mount Fuji in Japan. It’s mysterious because it fell from the sky, with an exceptionally handsome appearance, seemingly possessing an irresistible attraction. Everyone who has seen its true face is deeply infatuated with it. It’s moving because its appearances are brief, and each time it appears in a different location. No one can get within three zhang of it, not even people with special abilities. Some people tried to intercept it, but to no avail. According to some scientists who study unusual phenomena, this corpse is very likely the work of extraterrestrials, or it may be an ancient corpse that has traveled through time. This phenomenon has already attracted the attention of governments and major forces around the world. In just three days, it has attracted experts from all over the world to flock there,” Yu Mo said calmly.

"It can't be that exaggerated, can it? This frozen corpse has no life force at all, how could it have such a strong attraction that even governments around the world have been alarmed? It's unbelievable, have they all lost their minds, actually becoming interested in a frozen corpse?" Shi Siting said strangely.

"Governments around the world are nothing, what's worrying are those underground forces that are spread all over the world," Toya snorted.

"You mean Feng Hanxiao, Long Xiaofei and the others?" Yu Mo said, and Toya nodded.

"They've gotten involved too, the game is getting more and more interesting," Yu Mo muttered to himself.

"What's their background?" Mo Junyan asked hurriedly upon hearing this.

"Feng Hanxiao, the only son of Feng Zhengling, the commander of the A Military Region, possesses extraordinary martial arts skills. Wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, the treasure of the Xuanyuan Sect, he swept across the world's underworld, creating the world's only underground kingdom, the Underworld Dynasty, through his family's power. His influence permeates the underworld of every country, making him the supreme ruler of the world's underworld."

"Long Xiaofei, a street thug from Jiangxi Province, contracted a terminal illness in his teens and attempted suicide at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yunnan. However, he unexpectedly gained extraterrestrial energy, becoming the son-in-law of the ancient Bai family. His wife is Lan Xiaoxie, the heiress of the globally powerful Tiandi Group. He then used his extraterrestrial energy to roam the world, first becoming the Pope of the Vatican in Rome with 800 million followers, and later becoming the leader of the Southern Popsicle Clan, the American Vampire Clan, and the Blood Fiend Gang."

"These two are rising stars who have rapidly emerged after we went into seclusion. They haven't been in the world for long, but they are both astonishing figures who can turn the world upside down with a flick of their wrist," said Yu Mo.

"Hmm, quite impressive backgrounds," Dongfang Qian nodded in agreement.

"Wife, you forgot to mention two others," Tuoya said. "

The other two?" Yu Mo asked, puzzled.

"Yu Yan, the fourteenth generation successor of Yunmen, leader of the Demonic Sect, and the only son-in-law of the Japanese Yi family. He is also the grandson-in-law of the head of China's 001. He was once the leader of the National Secret Special Police, and after retiring, he became a prominent figure in the Chinese business world."

"Bian Wu, the first-generation outstanding assassin of the Black List, the largest assassin organization with influence spanning the globe. After marrying Wu Hong, he rose to become the leader of the Black List, with his influence penetrating the underworld, politics, and business circles of various countries around the world."

"The significance of these two is no less than that of Feng Hanxiao and Long Xiaofei," Tuoya said seriously.

"Nonsense! Bian Wu and we are sworn brothers. Even if his third-generation Black List influence spreads across the globe, he won't sever ties with us," Rain Demon laughed and cursed.

"That's true, but I have to tell you, that pervert Bian Wu has also set his sights on that ice corpse," Toya said with a grin.

"What? Bian Wu has also set his sights on it? Is it because of his boring, perverted cyborg surgeries again?" Rain Demon exclaimed.

"I'm not entirely sure about that," Toya said helplessly.

"Let's call him and ask," Mo Junyan said.

"Let me call," Shi Siting volunteered.

"Okay," Mo Junyan nodded in agreement, and Shi Siting went to answer the call.

Chapter 7 The Storm Is Brewing

"What's so mysterious about this ice corpse that it's attracted so many powerful experts?" Dongfang Qian asked worriedly. "Won't it be alright if Kai goes to DJ City alone?"

"I've heard that this ice corpse hides a shocking secret. If it can be deciphered, unexpected miracles will happen. Some prophets even believe that if the seal on this corpse can be broken, one will possess its mysterious power, which can even allow one to travel through time and space," Yu Mo mused.

If Lin Yuan heard this, he would definitely be furious and scold Huang Liao for spreading such rumors.

"Traveling through time and space, that's great! Wife, let's go take a look. Hehe, if we could enter ancient times, tsk tsk, that feeling would be so wonderful," Tuo Ya Yue said, a longing smile appearing on his face.

"Are you trying to kill me? You're thinking about having three wives and four concubines again, your mind is full of filthy thoughts, you deserve to die!" Yu Mo slapped him hard, interrupting his lewd thoughts.

"No, wife, you're overthinking it. You should know, you're the only one in my heart. For you, I'd go through fire and water." Toya quickly put on a smiling face to express his loyalty.

"Go to the ends of the earth, even to the depths of hell, you're the only one I love. For you..."

Dongfang Qian and Mo Junyan were already used to the strange behavior of Toya and his wife, but they still couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. Toya was about to continue expressing his loyalty when Yu Mo impatiently interrupted him.

"Go and prepare, we're heading to DJ City immediately."

"Yes, wife," Toya replied loudly, and quickly went out to book the plane tickets.

"Mom, Uncle Bian Wu told us to be extremely careful during our trip to DJ City, as we must be wary of two other extremely mysterious yet terrifying underground forces. Their power is far beyond what Feng Hanxiao, Long Xiaofei, Yu Yan, and Uncle Bian Wu can handle," Shi Siting said worriedly to Mo Junyan after finishing her phone call.

"What? There are forces even stronger and more terrifying than them?" Dongfang Qian exclaimed in surprise.

"The world has been peaceful for too long; the storm is coming again," Yu Mo said, staring blankly out the window.

"However, we don't need to worry too much. Uncle Bian Wu has decided to help us, and Dad will be taken care of in DJ City. Mom, let's hurry over there," Shi Siting comforted her. "

We can only take it one step at a time," Mo Junyan said worriedly. Hearing this, the girls felt an even heavier weight on their hearts. Things had come to this, and they had no choice but to accept it.

With Lin Yuan's sealed true form revealing itself to the world, a sweeping undercurrent began to unfold among the various forces.

All of this was something he, the person involved, was unaware of after embarking on his trip to Japan. Bai Ruoyan,

the head of the Bai family headquarters

and the supreme leader of the Bai family, had been married to the heir of the most powerful family in England, the Boer family. After three years of marriage, her husband died of a terminal illness, and she subsequently merged the two families, vowing never to marry again.

At this moment, this beautiful and powerful businesswoman in her thirties was anxiously staring at the large electronic screen in front of her. A cold and handsome young man was staring back at her through the screen. In the lower left corner of the screen was a photograph of a man. The young man in the photo wore a purple gauze robe, his face exceptionally handsome, and his long purple hair reaching his waist added a touch of devilish charm. A strong, irresistible allure was clearly conveyed even through the photograph; if one were to look him in the eye, it was believed that no woman could resist his charm and not fall in love with him.

Bai Ruoyan stared intently at the purple-clad youth in the photo in the lower left corner of the large screen for a long time before turning her gaze away. Facing the aloof youth, she said calmly, "Wang Ping, how did you do with what I asked you to do?"

"Sister Yan, I'm sorry. Because of the shocking secret carried by this ice corpse, it has caused a global sensation. Japan has dispatched a large army to surround Mount Fuji, and various forces and peerless masters are secretly swarming in. The difficulty keeps increasing. I have tried my best, but I still have nothing to show for it," Wang Ping said hoarsely .

"It's alright, keep trying. I believe you won't let me down," Bai Ruoyan said, suppressing her own intense disappointment.

"Sister Yan, I definitely won't let you down," Wang Ping said gratefully.

"Mm," Bai Ruoyan nodded in response, and the two then ended their conversation.

No matter what, I must have you. Bai Ruoyan looked at the purple-clad youth in the photo, her beautiful eyes filled with determination, and murmured to herself.

In Shanghai, at the Qin

Group headquarters, a handsome, burly young man stood in his chairman's office. His left hand was behind his back, while his right hand held a device resembling a mobile phone, held flat against his chest, as he gazed out the window.

"Xingxing, how is Long Er doing in Japan?" he asked calmly.

"Young Master, Long Er still hasn't been able to retrieve the Ice Corpse," a beautiful young woman appeared on the screen of the device in his hand, speaking softly.

"It's been three days, and there's still no progress in intercepting the Ice Corpse?" the young man asked, slightly displeased.

"This Ice Corpse seems to be sealed in a spatial rift connecting dimensional space and reality by a legendary technique. No matter what method I use, I can't get within three zhang of it. Even if I do get close, it passes right through me; it's practically impossible to find," the beautiful woman said helplessly.

"Really? That's unbelievable. Hmph, I refuse to believe there's really no way. Xingxing, thank you for your hard work. For the sake of immortality, I'm determined to obtain this Ice Corpse," the young man said coldly.

"Yes, young master," the beautiful girl replied respectfully, ending the call.

The young man smiled coldly, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 8 Undercurrents

Shanghai Qinglong Building

"Bruce Lee finally couldn't resist making a move, hahaha! Interesting, interesting, I'll see who among you can obtain this world-renowned ice corpse, hmph." With a cold laugh, a black light shot out from the Qinglong Building and instantly disappeared into the vast sky. Bian Wu at

the Black List headquarters

looked at the data in front of him, feeling a headache coming on. Every person shown in the data was an extremely troublesome character; if handled poorly, it could plunge the entire world into chaos.

"Ice corpse, ice corpse, what kind of mystery do you have that has attracted the attention of so many powerful figures? I'm really looking forward to it." Bian Wu muttered to himself, closed the folder, walked to the office window, looked at the outside world, and his eyes gleamed with anticipation. Guan Qingmin, the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, wife of Yu Yan

of the Demonic Sect . At this moment, she looked at her man with a blank expression, saying, "Holy Lord, I don't understand. That ice corpse is useless to us. Why do you still want to get involved in the chaos and danger of Mount Fuji?" "I've been in seclusion for too long. The world has long forgotten my existence. I finally managed to attract this rare gathering of powerful people. I have to join in the fun no matter what. Qing'er, my mind is made up. You don't need to try to dissuade me anymore." Yu Yan looked at Guan Qingmin firmly, his eyes revealing a strong bloodthirsty light. Guan Qingmin knew that her husband's mind was made up and that it was impossible to persuade him anymore. She could only sigh helplessly. In Japan (also known as Wa), Lin Yuan had just stepped out of DJ City International Airport when a taxi suddenly stopped in front of him. He stopped abruptly. A cold and beautiful woman got out of the car and said in a low voice, "You must be Mr. Shi Aotian. I am here on my master's orders to be your personal guide and maid in DJ City. Mr. Shi, please get in the car." Lin Yuan looked at her coldly, as if trying to see some clues on her face. The aloof woman met his gaze indifferently, her beautiful eyes devoid of emotion, yet occasionally flashing with a faint, almost imperceptible, murderous aura—the kind possessed only by a top-tier assassin. It seemed Bian Wu valued him quite a bit, having assigned such a top-tier assassin as his personal attendant. This woman wasn't a stunning beauty, but she was icy cold, possessing a unique aloofness characteristic of female assassins. "Hmm, quite something," Lin Yuan thought to himself. Without further ado, he got into the car and said calmly, "You don't need to tell me your code name. For the next few days, I'll call you Suiyuan." "If Mr. Shi likes it, I have no objections," the aloof woman said coldly. "Take me directly to Mount Fuji," Lin Yuan said calmly. "Yes, sir," the aloof woman replied coldly, and the car suddenly accelerated, speeding away. Mount Fuji is the highest peak in Japan, located in south-central Honshu, straddling Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures, about 80 kilometers east of Tokyo, and is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Mount Fuji, standing at 3,776 meters above sea level with a base circumference of 125 kilometers, is conical in shape and perpetually snow-capped at its summit. It is one of the world's largest active volcanoes. Although dormant since its last eruption in 1707, geologists still classify it as active. The name "Fuji" originates from the Ainu language and means "immortal." Famous for its beautiful conical shape, it is a sacred symbol of Japan. Due to the belief in the unity of man and mountain, thousands of Japanese people climb to the summit shrine every summer for pilgrimage. The mountain is also a major scenic area within the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. "Mr. Shi, would you like to go up the mountain now or tonight?" Suiyuan asked, parking the car at a parking lot at the foot of the world-famous Mount Fuji. "What's the difference?" Lin Yuan replied calmly.

"You'll understand once you see this information." Sui Yuan casually handed over a black leather bag.

"An army is surrounding us, powerful figures are lurking in the shadows, five-colored ability users are gathering, assassins are everywhere, and major forces are swarming in. Heh, quite a lineup. Luckily, the Ice Corpse will condense into a pillar of light and erupt into the sky at night, otherwise it would be quite difficult to find." Lin Yuan muttered to himself as he read, his heart instantly filled with powerful confidence. If he could break through his strength in this battle, his spiritual cultivation would undergo a qualitative leap.

Chapter 9 Blood Devouring Ability

Night arrived as Lin Yuan eagerly anticipated.

Lin Yuan stretched, opened the car door, and got out.

"Mr. Shi," Sui Yuan followed closely behind.

"Call me Lin Yuan," Lin Yuan looked at her coldly.

"Yes, Mr. Lin Yuan," Sui Yuan replied respectfully, though she felt confused.

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, not looking at her again, and his body flew away swiftly. Sui Yuan only felt a blur before her eyes, and Lin Yuan had already disappeared without a trace in the vast night. She was secretly astonished by his incredible speed. She had intended to follow Lin Yuan, but unexpectedly, despite her high ranking on the Black List, she was vastly inferior to him. Lin Yuan's voice drifted over, making her even more dejected.

"Stay where you are and prepare to receive me."

She couldn't believe that a mortal could possess such superhuman speed. Even the current number one on the Black List, 'Celestial Immortal,' didn't have such fantastical speed. No wonder her master had instructed her to learn from him; she wondered what kind of person he was. Thinking this to herself, she unfurled her form and silently followed him.

Lin Yuan flew along, guided by his inner sense of his true form's aura. The Japanese army surrounding Mount Fuji was nothing to him; even the strongest were insignificant. At his extreme speed, before anyone could react, he had already passed by, leaving only a few wisps of night wind brushing their faces. The crowd was filled with bewilderment, speechless before the heavens.

"Who goes there, and why are you trespassing on Mount Fuji at night?" Lin Yuan had just flown to the middle of Mount Fuji when a dazzling golden light, accompanied by a powerful impact, surged towards him. A thin, golden mist, seemingly ethereal, gradually spread, light and seemingly without any force, yet Lin Yuan felt a considerable pressure.

"A metal-type ability user, hehe, very nourishing." Who was Lin Yuan? Although he currently lacked forbidden powers, his mental cultivation had broken through its previous bottleneck, and his strength was far beyond what it used to be. After a slight pause, he easily dodged the impact. His starry eyes looked over and, recognizing the newcomer, he couldn't help but sneer, a bewitching, bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

The newcomer was radiant with golden light, and a pair of golden wings unfurled from his back, giving him an angelic appearance in the night. Through the information provided by Suiyuan, Lin Yuan learned that superhumans are a small, rare group of people in human society who possess supernatural abilities, somewhat similar to life energy possessors in the future Great Universe Federation era. Superhumans are extremely rare, one in a million, and even fewer are intermediate-level superhumans of each type. Top-level superhumans are extremely rare, one in tens of millions. Every discovered superhuman is strictly protected by the government; their existence is a top secret of human society. Most superhumans focus on mental cultivation, and can utilize many natural forces that rival the creation of heaven and earth. If they were to develop, the consequences for modern society would be quite terrifying. Superhumans are arranged according to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Metal-type superhumans are the supreme among the five colors, skilled in mental attacks, adept at telekinesis and condensing weapons from thin air as fierce attack methods. If a pair of condensed golden wings could grow to two or three zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), their speed would be as fast as lightning, and their strength would be exceptionally terrifying.

At this moment, Lin Yuan faced a metal-type ability user whose wingspan exceeded three zhang (approximately 10 meters). Lin Yuan knew he had encountered a formidable opponent, but instead of being afraid, he was delighted. Metal-type ability users were rare globally, and those who reached the top were even fewer. A wicked thought crept into his mind. Lin Yuan knew that these ability users, like the super-evolved individuals and life energy users from the Great Universe Federation era, must possess a source of stored energy within their bodies—the legendary inner core. By absorbing their inner core, he could easily acquire their energy. If he were in the era of the Great Universe Federation, Lin Yuan would never have entertained such evil thoughts. After all, devouring another's inner core is not only prohibited by social laws but also hated by humanity. Once made public, it would make him a target of public condemnation. Before returning to the chaotic timeline, Lin Yuan's Lin family had reached the peak of life energy in the Great Universe Federation era. However, for a trivial mission, he returned to the Qin Dynasty 50,000 years ago, causing a timeline distortion. His super evolutionary energy and life energy were sealed. Now, sealed in the 21st century by the Time-Space Priest, his mind was forced to transfer to another body. Although Shi Kai's body was also that of a peerless master, it was far from the level he had reached in the chaotic timeline. The sudden appearance of the metal-type ability user gave him hope.

The Japanese race has always been fickle and despicable, and has been an enemy of the Chinese people since ancient times. Although the 21st century world is temporarily in a state of republic, Lin Yuan knows that in the future era of the Great Universe Star Wars, Japan will inevitably be destroyed by China. As a descendant of the Lin family, whose ancestors were descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor, he harbored an innate hatred for the Japanese race. This Japanese race had brought too much shame to China throughout history, making them utterly despicable and worthy of death. This suddenly appearing metal-type ability user happened to be one of the Japanese people Lin Yuan hated. How could he not be filled with murderous intent? With a surge of devouring evil thoughts, he didn't hesitate. Just as the metal-type ability user was about to ask a question, he had already pushed his speed to its limit, a blur of motion disappearing into the air.

No matter how powerful a person is, there will always be a fatal moment, even if it's only a fraction of a second. With precise timing, victory can still be achieved. In terms of strength, the metal-type ability user might even be superior to Lin Yuan. However, he had long been at the peak of power, and throughout the world, mortals held metal-type ability users in the utmost reverence and respect. No one had ever shown such disrespect as Lin Yuan. He had assumed that Lin Yuan, upon first seeing him, would be surprised and ask questions, giving him the opportunity to deliver a ruthless blow and kill him. Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan completely surprised him. Before he could even regain his footing, Lin Yuan had mysteriously appeared before him. By the time he sensed Lin Yuan's intense killing intent, it was too late.

In a flash, afterimages flashed by, and Lin Yuan instantly unleashed dozens of sharp hand blades, a rain of blood and severed limbs flying everywhere. Finally, a blade slashed across his neck. The metal-type ability user's strength was unfathomable, but due to underestimating Lin Yuan's power, he was unable to mount an effective attack or defense in time and was instantly killed by Lin Yuan. A thumb-sized golden bead was extracted from his abdomen by Lin Yuan and swallowed.

Golden light suddenly burst forth from Lin Yuan's body, and two dazzling golden beams shot out from his eyes, radiating an endless, overwhelming aura of dominance. Alas, the metal-type ability user, who had once been a legend, met such an unexpected and shameful end!

Four angry shouts of "Big Brother!" rang out, accompanied by four completely different auras—four different yet terrifying forces, like rotting wood piercing the heart, like drowning suffocating, like burning pain, like being buried alive—surging forth like a suffocating embankment. It was a mental attack.

If Lin Yuan had faced the combined attack of these four top-tier ability users moments before, he might have struggled to withstand it. Now, having absorbed the inner core of a metal-type ability user, his own strength was far beyond compare, and his mental cultivation had rapidly increased under the fusion of the metal-type inner core. What could the attack of four top-tier ability users possibly do to him?

Lin Yuan sneered, casually flicking his wrist, creating a shower of golden light that silently neutralized the opponent's fierce attack. His starry eyes flashed with murderous intent as he looked down, only to see four middle-aged men dressed as Japanese men glaring at him with grief and indignation.

"You killed my big brother!" the leader of the Japanese men roared.

"You're a wood-type ability user?" Lin Yuan coldly scrutinized him. A faint green light emanated from his body, somewhat resembling the aura of life energy, but without the domineering, devouring power of life energy.

"Not bad," the Japanese man said coldly.

"Very well. Since you're here, leave your ability cores behind." Lin Yuan's enchanting sneer, his bloodthirsty gaze sending chills down one's spine! (
Chapter 10: The Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect, November 4th)

"Damn it, I'll kill you!" the wood-type ability user gritted his teeth.

"Kill him, avenge our brother!" the remaining three roared in unison.

"Don't be as disgraceful as your brother," Lin Yuan sneered contemptuously. Upon hearing this, the four men's faces turned furious. The earth-type ability user was the first to attack. He rubbed his hands together, and an incredibly thick earthen wall suddenly appeared before Lin Yuan like a ghost. Its immense power was unmatched by anyone.

Top-tier ability users truly lived up to their reputation. They possessed the powerful ability to materialize energy, and could even use their mental abilities to conjure physical objects for attacks. Their mental strength was truly astonishing.

The water-type ability user was not to be outdone. A curtain of water seemed to descend from the sky, quickly condensing into a massive ice wall, pressing down on Lin Yuan with unstoppable force.

A raging fire, accompanied by a whistling wind, followed. The fire-type ability user waved his hands, sending countless small fireballs hurtling towards Lin Yuan like a swarm of bees.

"Is this all you've got?" Lin Yuan sneered. He was skilled and daring, facing attacks from several top-tier ability users for the first time. Instead of being intimidated, he was pleased; only experts of this caliber could ignite his fighting spirit.

The wood-type ability user snorted, and dozens of massive wooden pillars flew horizontally towards him viciously. These pillars were about twenty meters long and three or four meters in diameter. Dozens of them attacking together possessed the force of a tidal wave, an immense power. If this power were used on a battlefield of cold weapons, one person could probably take down a city.

When the ability users unleashed their power, their mental energy paused for a moment; after their full-force attack, their abilities also momentarily vanished. If they were to spar with ordinary top experts, these fleeting moments wouldn't be considered weaknesses. However, for a powerhouse of Lin Yuan's caliber, especially after he absorbed the inner core of a metal-type ability user, these moments became the perfect opportunity for him to strike. What he wanted was this brief pause.

After the four ability users—wood, water, fire, and earth—launched their combined full-force attack, Lin Yuan's starry eyes flashed with a cold, murderous smile, a bloodthirsty glint in them. A burst of golden light erupted from his body, surging outwards with unparalleled power.

"Not good!" the four ability users exclaimed simultaneously. The earthen wall, ice wall, fire dragon, and wood stream that surged forth were all melted away without a trace by the golden light filling the sky. A golden light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes, and the golden light on his entire body intensified. With a wave of his hands, the continuous golden wall formed a long golden stream that covered a space of ten zhang in radius, surrounding all four ability users. The power emanating from this golden wall was far beyond what the wood, water, fire, and earth ability users could compare to. The suffocating pressure made even the powerful ability users of the four elements feel that great threat. The four quickly joined forces to break through one golden wall, only for another to rapidly rise to replace it, an endless, continuous barrage of attacks. This was all controlled by the power of the metal-type ability cores, demonstrating the formidable strength of metal-type ability users. Lin Yuan stood in the center, watching the four ability users with a cold smile, as if toying with mice. Inwardly, he felt incredibly lucky; if he hadn't seized the momentary lapse in attention and launched a sudden attack, a direct confrontation with the metal-type ability users would not have been so easy for him to gain the upper hand.

Suddenly, a long howl echoed from the foot of the mountain, and a figure sped towards the mountainside like lightning. Upon hearing the sound, the four ability users, who had been struggling to maintain their strength, suddenly showed joy on their faces.

"Hmph, reinforcements have arrived." Lin Yuan's mind stirred, and he coldly glanced down the mountain. Although he was far above the mountainside, his golden ability allowed him to clearly see the person below in the darkness.

"The game is over," Lin Yuan sneered. The four elemental ability users were shocked. Before they could even form an effective defensive circle, countless golden arrows suddenly transformed into a barrage of arrows, piercing the hearts of the four ability users. The four different colored inner cores of their abilities easily fell into Lin Yuan's hands.

"Although elemental ability users possess superhuman abilities, if they don't know how to use them, how can they be a match for a peerless expert who has surpassed the limits of humanity? Sorry, you can only complain to the King of Hell about your unwillingness."

Lin Yuan surveyed the five corpses, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on his handsome face. With a flick of his head, he swallowed all four inner cores.

"You're quite powerful, but there's no need to be so ruthless." A handsome young man appeared before Lin Yuan, his face full of anger.

"You're too late. They are your subordinates." Lin Yuan looked at him coldly.

"They are my retainers!" the handsome young man shouted angrily.

"I never show mercy to those Japanese dogs. Seeing how worried you are about them, you must be Yu Yan, the son-in-law of that Japanese Yi family," Lin Yuan said, sizing him up indifferently.

"I'm afraid not. Everyone knows the infamous Shi Aotian, the first-generation assassin of the Black List. When he kills, no one, whether woman, child, old or young, can escape his ruthless hand. Even his beloved woman is no exception. Heh heh, why are you playing the hypocrite today?" the handsome young man sneered. "

Shi Aotian has been living in seclusion in the mountains for decades. I didn't expect anyone to still remember these historical dusts. It seems you have quite a background," Lin Yuan said coldly.

Shi Kai had a turbulent life, but his background was extremely mysterious. He once dominated the Black List, his fame shaking the world, yet no one knew his origins. After two major battles on the Black List, he went into seclusion in the mountains, and no one in the world knew his whereabouts. The information on the Blacklist is never leaked. If someone obtains his information, then this person is either a high-ranking official on the Blacklist or someone extraordinary. Seeing his malicious smile and his avoidance of answering Lin Yuan's questions, Lin Yuan's suspicions were confirmed, and he still felt the urge to kill.

"Of course, this self-proclaimed Holy Master of the Demonic Sect, a traitor who uses Japanese dogs as his henchmen, is the grandson-in-law of the Central 001 leader. His background is certainly not small. Yu Yan, am I right? Hmph, why would the Central 001 leader agree to marry his granddaughter to him? It's really frustrating." A cold voice rang out, and a young man with long black hair dyed with a few white strands that fell to his shoulders, his face full of murderous intent, coldly walked out from behind a cherry blossom tree.

"Wang Ping, I have no grudge against you, why are you making things difficult for me?" Yu Yan recognized the person and said coldly.

"Each serves their own master. I want this ice corpse. If you don't want to die here, you'd better get lost." Wang Ping said coldly.

"A mere errand boy is so arrogant! Don't think you're invincible just because Long Xiaofei gave you a little Dragon Source Power!" Yu Yan roared. "If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm unworthy of being the master of the Holy Gate."

"My hands are itching for a fight. Slaughtering some traitors would be quite a treat," Wang Ping said coldly, a look of eager anticipation on his face. Fighting a master like Yu Yan would indeed greatly help improve his strength.

"Damn it!" Yu Yan roared, leaping forward. Suddenly, two long swords materialized in his hands. Lin Yuan was astonished. He was actually a spiritual cultivator who focused on mental cultivation with profound martial arts internal energy. His superpowers did not belong to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. If he cultivated his mental power to the highest level, his achievements would be unimaginable to ordinary people. After all, Lin Yuan had never truly seen a strong spiritual cultivator before, which was quite surprising.

Yu Yan unleashed hundreds of sword strikes with a frenzied, stormy rain, creating layers upon layers of sword waves. A sharp, spiritual attack mixed with terrifying killing intent sent a shiver down the spine.

Wang Ping coldly smiled, a powerful, almost tangible killing intent surging forth. A series of clanging sounds rang out as two daggers suddenly appeared in Wang Ping's hands. These paper-thin daggers could only be wielded with unparalleled skill by a top assassin. Lin Yuan watched coldly as the two moved with lightning speed, exchanging hundreds of blows.

Chapter 11 True Forms Appear for the First Time

. "Two idiots, let's take it slow." Lin Yuan snorted inwardly, his body soaring through the air. Wang Ping and Yu Yan were both highly skilled, though somewhat inferior to Lin Yuan. If they hadn't harbored any animosity and attacked Lin Yuan together, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. Faced with the continuous arrival of powerful opponents, Lin Yuan felt an increasingly intense sense of oppression. His only option now was to retrieve his true form as soon as possible.

"Pat pat pat, tap tap tap~~~"

A sudden burst of chaotic machine gun fire erupted, and a purple beam shot straight into the sky, radiating a powerful aura of strength against the night sky. A dense, alluring fragrance instantly enveloped the entire summit of Mount Fuji.

"Ah, the Ice Corpse has appeared!" Several exclamations rang out from the foot of the mountain.

Lin Yuan, witnessing the scene, immediately flew towards the source of the purple light.

The summit was filled with heavily armed soldiers, and several scientists dressed as Japanese were pointing and gesturing around the purple beam, their expressions extremely helpless.

Meanwhile, bursts of machine gun fire came from the mountainside, clearly indicating that someone was forcibly attacking.

A young Chinese man slowly walked up, braving the hail of bullets from the Japanese army. The crisscrossing bullets struck his body as if hitting a copper wall. The young man's face was cold and stern, ignoring the horrified looks of the crowd. He broke through the encirclement of the Japanese army, casually striking and killing his men on the spot. The crowd roared in unison, rushing forward fearlessly to attack, only to meet the same demise. Blood splattered, and as the young Chinese man walked slowly past, limbs and severed bodies scattered everywhere, a horrifying sight.

Astonishing! Could this be the legendary indestructible body? A young Chinese man, who had witnessed this bloody massacre from the shadows, was secretly horrified.

Two cold, murderous gazes swept over him. Damn it, he'd been discovered! The young man was startled, and his figure shot towards the mountain peak like a whirlwind. "

Fight! Fight! The storm is brewing, let me see," the young Chinese man sneered, still unhurriedly walking towards the summit.

Blood stained the ground, several figures slashed through the night sky, and the intense gunfire was deafening under the cover of darkness.

After the commotion subsided, the pungent stench of blood permeated the entire Mount Fuji.

Two figures stood proudly atop the peak, a purple beam of light piercing the heavens and earth. The Japanese army scattered across the mountaintop had been completely wiped out by these two mysterious figures.

Limbs and fragments littered the ground, and under the purple light, the two men

's faces were as cold as ice, their chilling killing intent enveloping the entire Mount Fuji. "The ice corpse hasn't even been unearthed yet, and it's already attracted so many experts. Heh, interesting, very interesting." A cold laugh rang out, and a young man with an arrogant demeanor, exuding an air of self-importance, flew over.

The two men looked at him coldly, and the young man on the left immediately greeted him respectfully, "Your Majesty."

"Hmm," the young man nodded in response. "Wang Jing, have you discovered anything while you've been waiting here for a few days?"

"The ice corpse's appearance pattern is extremely unusual. After my repeated investigations, I have confirmed that this ice corpse does indeed possess the mysterious ability to travel through time and space. What is particularly astonishing is its unparalleled handsomeness, which makes it difficult for anyone who sees it to resist the urge to submit." Wang Jing said respectfully.

"Is that true?" the young man asked in surprise.

"It's absolutely true, Your Majesty. I wouldn't dare deceive you. The Ice Corpse is about to appear. Your Majesty will know the truth upon seeing it," Wang Jing said respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes immediately revealed a greedy glint, and a wicked smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Feng Hanxiao, how have you been?"

Just as the young man's wicked thoughts were racing, a cold voice rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yu Yan and Wang Ping rushing over one after the other.

"Overestimating yourself," Wang Ping said coldly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he surveyed the crowd, radiating an air of self-importance.

"So who are you? Turns out you're just two lackeys," Feng Hanxiao sneered upon hearing this.

"Even though you're just errand boys, I can still easily kill you, you arrogant bastard," Wang Ping said arrogantly.

"You bastard, how dare you be disrespectful to my Majesty!" Wang Jing roared angrily, his figure flashing, a streak of white light flashing like lightning towards Wang Ping's neck, the intense killing intent chilling everyone to the bone.

"You dare to show off your petty tricks?" Wang Ping sneered. Without any visible movement, the dagger in Wang Jing's hand was suddenly snatched away.

Such speed! Feng Hanxiao was secretly shocked. Their exchange ended in the blink of an eye. Lin Yuan, who had been standing by coldly observing, now found it utterly boring. Wang Ping's speed was like a snail to him. Since absorbing the inner cores of the five elemental ability users, the speed of the Shi Kai body he housed had been pushed to its limit.

Lin Yuan thought disdainfully, a faint but overwhelming aura of a supreme powerhouse emanating from him.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, an intense pressure descending from the shadows—an invisible pressure from the spirit. This aura was truly astonishing.

All eyes were fixed on him. Feng Hanxiao wondered to himself, who was this person? Why was his aura filled with such intense killing intent, so terrifying?

Lin Yuan met their gazes coldly, ignoring their hostility and vigilance.

"Wang Jing, don't act rashly." Feng Hanxiao stopped Wang Jing from launching another attack on Wang Ping. Those who appeared on Mount Fuji tonight were all peerless masters; there was no need to ruin important matters over a small grudge.

Wang Jing understood this, but he couldn't tolerate Wang Ping's arrogance. Hearing his master's warning, he glared at Wang Ping hatefully before stepping aside.

The purple light grew stronger, and a purple-clad youth slowly rose from the ground. His eyes were closed, as if he were fast asleep, his face exquisitely beautiful, exuding a strong and alluring, almost demonic charm that made it difficult to look away, and a sense of submission secretly arose within him.

These were all powerful and influential figures who dominated their respective regions, their willpower far surpassing that of ordinary people. Sensing the subservient sentiment from the depths of their hearts, they quickly composed themselves, looking on in astonishment.

This was the first time Lin Yuan had ever mentally transferred to his body to confront his true form. Upon first glance, he was deeply moved. The alluring charm emanating from it was unparalleled; its captivating allure was unmatched in the world. Even males felt a yearning for its power, let alone females.

Chapter 12: Battle at the Mountain Peak.

"The ice corpse has been unearthed!" Someone shouted first, snapping the group out of their shock.

They simultaneously lunged forward. With a soft hiss, they passed through the air. The purple-clad youth transformed into a wisp of purple light and vanished from Lin Yuan's body. An ancient "seal" character, radiating dazzling golden light, appeared on Lin Yuan's chest. An immense, boundless pressure erupted, and a purple pillar of light, like a whale swallowing the Yangtze River, vanished instantly from Lin Yuan's body as the dazzling "seal" character appeared. A purple crystal ring suddenly appeared on the ring finger of Lin Yuan's left hand.

"The 'Mind Storage Ring,' damn it! I finally found its true form, only to have it sealed inside Shi Kai's body again." Lin Yuan witnessed this scene, both shocked and furious. Saintess Jiang was truly despicable. He secretly looked inward, but couldn't sense a trace of familiar energy aura. What shocked and angered him even more was that as the 'Saintess Seal' faded from his body, the mysterious sealing power even sealed the five elemental abilities he had absorbed. It seemed that this seal was mainly aimed at elemental superpowers; it was truly powerful.

"The Ice Corpse has entered his body, Wang Jing, go and kill him!" Feng Hanxiao shouted urgently. "Yes, Your Majesty." The two pounced simultaneously, two sharp killing intents striking from the left and right.

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, and without thinking, unleashed several incredibly sharp hand blades. The explosions were deafening. Feng Hanxiao and Wang Jing hurriedly dodged, but how could they match Lin Yuan's superhuman speed? A blur of motion swept past, and every single hand blade struck them. Feng Hanxiao and Wang Jing, however, possessed some skill; facing Lin Yuan's furious, all-out attack, they managed to withstand it.

Fifty years ago, Shi Kai was an unparalleled, cold-blooded assassin on the Black List, his signature hand blade technique renowned throughout the world. After Lin Yuan took control of his body, he further unlocked Shi Kai's potential, unleashing a full-force strike powerful enough to shatter metal and stone. Although Feng Hanxiao and Wang Jing were rising stars, they were still peerless masters; how could their flesh and blood withstand the powerful onslaught of dozens of hand blades? Two screams rang out. Seeing the situation was dire, Feng Hanxiao grabbed Wang Jing and fled, coughing up blood, clearly seriously injured.

"You brat, I will avenge you today! Just you wait!" From afar, Feng Hanxiao's angry, defiant shout echoed through the night. Wang Ping and Yu Yan were secretly shocked. Feng Hanxiao and Wang Jing had withstood dozens of devastating blows from Lin Yuan and still managed to escape unscathed; their strength was truly astonishing. If it were them, they might not have been able to leave.

"Shi Aotian, after the second Black List battle, you've lived in seclusion in the mountains for over a decade, and your skills have only improved—congratulations! Rumor has it that your speed has surpassed human limits. Today, let me, Long Er, meet you." A voice of praise rang out. Lin Yuan was puzzled, but Wang Ping and Yu Yan paled, clearly knowing Long Er well. Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, slender, and cold-faced young Chinese man.

"You're Long Er?" Wang Ping and Yu Yan looked at him gravely, asking in unison, clearly indicating his significant background. If Feng Hanxiao hadn't left, he would have recognized this young Chinese man as the mysterious expert who had charged up the mountain through a hail of bullets from the Japanese army.

"That's right, I am Long Er. Young Master Wang, Sect Leader Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you all," the young Chinese man said with a faint smile, but his face was filled with intense killing intent, showing no sign of pleasure whatsoever.

"Bruce Lee has always ignored matters of the martial world, so why is he so interested in this Ice Body this time?" Yu Yan pretended not to see his expression and said coldly. "

Young Master has his reasons. As his subordinate, I only need to follow them. Why so many questions? Sect Leader Yu, considering the connection between Chief 001 and my young master, you'd better leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, if I accidentally injure you, don't blame me for being rude," Long Er said, half-threatening and half-persuasive.

"Haha," Yu Yan chuckled dryly, then said calmly, "Since Brother Long is so kind as to honor me, then for the sake of harmony between our two families, I'll withdraw from this competition."

"A wise man knows when to yield. Master Yu, lacking the ability to compete, is willing to withdraw, which is no small feat. A man who can bend and stretch is a true hero. Unfortunately, I'm determined to gain something from this trip to Mount Fuji. Mr. Long Er's reputation is awe-inspiring, and I, Wang, have long admired you. Meeting you today is a great honor. I wonder how Mr. Long will treat me, this contender?" Wang Ping sneered, his handsome face filled with provocation.

"Let's see who has the best of both worlds," Long Er said calmly, clearly also somewhat afraid of Wang Ping.

"Very well, let's see who returns with the most spoils. Boy, take this!" Wang Ping nodded in agreement and launched a preemptive attack on Lin Yuan, who was standing to the side listening to their conversation. A chilling, sharp killing intent surged forth—two paper-thin, sharp daggers.

"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off?" Lin Yuan relayed Wang Ping's words to Wang Jing verbatim. His figure flashed, and in the breeze, a Scorpion King Sword instantly severed his dagger, its unstoppable sword energy slicing diagonally across his chest. A dazzling silver light suddenly flashed, followed by a slight popping sound, and several scale-like armor plates lay on the ground.

Lin Yuan looked on in surprise. Wang Ping's face was ashen. She coldly said, "Fifty years ago, Shi Aotian's speed had already surpassed human limits. Even with the most advanced recording equipment, it would take 25 times the speed to barely make your trajectory visible to the naked eye. Today's meeting proves you live up to your reputation. Truly worthy of being the first generation of super forbidden assassins on the Black List. Interesting, very interesting."

"Your skills aren't bad either. You drank a little of the worm's blood and exchanged a few scales for a few pieces of scales, which saved your life," Lin Yuan sneered. Long Er and Yu Yan secretly laughed upon hearing this; those words were too insulting. Wang Ping was indeed humiliated. He and Long Xiaofei were childhood best friends, and Long Xiaofei had received the Dragon Source Power bestowed upon him by Yin Shi, the Lord of the Void Holy Realm. Subsequently, Long Xiaofei had infused the Dragon Source Blood bestowed by Yin Shi into Li Liang, Peng Bao, and himself, exchanging blood for blood—a secret kept secret. However, the Black List forces were omnipresent, coexisting with Catholicism. Although Long Xiaofei commanded 800 million Catholic believers, most of them were also Black List members. Lin Yuan had already learned the identities of everyone present through the information provided by Sui Yuan; they were all powerful figures, wielding immense influence, yet they had no privacy among themselves. Although Wang Ping understood this, he was still enraged by Lin Yuan's words.

Nothing was more humiliating than being insulted and humiliated by an enemy.

"Even without my superpowers, I can defeat you with my true skills!" Wang Ping roared, a flash of white light, and he charged forward again, wielding two daggers.

"You dare to be so presumptuous before me with the rudimentary skills taught to you by the 'Ten Fiends of the Century'?" Lin Yuan was delighted by this. Having lost his superpowers, he was unwilling to fight these superpowered individuals bare-handed, as he wouldn't gain any advantage. Wang Ping willingly gave up his superpower attacks; he was determined to finish the battle quickly and wouldn't allow him a chance to retaliate with his powers. With a cold laugh, Lin Yuan unleashed a barrage of afterimages, while his true body, concealed by these afterimages, swiftly unleashed dozens of indestructible hand blades. With a hissing explosion, the sound of air shattering, carrying the domineering aura of a powerful being capable of destroying everything, slashed fiercely at the center of the afterimage attack—the cold-blooded assassin wielding a dagger.

"What an idiot! In terms of speed, it's hard to find an assassin in the world who can compare to Shi Aotian. Although Wang Ping received painstaking training from the 'Ten Fiends of the Century,' the ten most powerful and mysterious assassins in the world at the end of the 20th century, there is still a huge gap between him and Shi Aotian. Using his weakness against his strength is just asking for trouble." Yu Yan cursed, witnessing the situation.

"Maybe he forgot the purpose of this trip. Watching experts clash is not bad. Wang Ping has a special ability to protect him; he won't die so easily." Long Er said with interest. "What

a joke! Who can't die if they have a special ability to protect them? My five top-tier special ability users, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, all died at Shi Aotian's hands." Yu Yan retorted.

"Their special abilities are human abilities. How can they be compared to the cosmic special abilities of the extraterrestrial worms (the dragons of the Void Holy Realm)? Save your breath, Master Yu." Long Er sneered.

"I don't think so." Yu Yan snorted, and Long Er sneered without saying anything, ignoring him.

Chapter 13

The battle in the intelligent robot arena had instantly intensified.

Shi Kai's speed was indeed unbelievably fast. After Lin Yuan took over his body, under powerful mental control, his extreme speed combined with incredibly powerful hand blades allowed Lin Yuan to easily dismantle Wang Ping's fierce attacks time and time again. Like a cat playing with a mouse, Lin Yuan slashed at Wang Ping's body, leaving shocking wounds. Rare silver blood flowed all over Wang Ping's body, soaking his clothes. But he was stubborn by nature. Although he knew that such an attack method would inevitably lead to defeat, he still refused to use his superpower to protect himself.

"What an idiot, but his courage to face death is admirable." Lin Yuan secretly praised him, but his hand blade attacks did not slow down, still surging towards Wang Ping wave after wave.

"Wang Ping, you are no match for him. You should rest for now." Lin Yuan unleashed a barrage of hand blades. Seeing that Wang Ping could no longer dodge, Long Er suddenly rushed in with a cold shout. With a casual shove, he sent the blindingly dying Wang Ping far out of the encirclement of countless blades. A series of metallic clangs rang out as the blades struck him.

His clothes were torn to shreds, and a few drops of blood seeped from the ripped fabric. Long Er stood unharmed, seemingly unscathed by the barrage of blades. Lin Yuan stared in disbelief, but in that moment of distraction, Long Er slammed his hands together, unleashing a terrifying force that slammed into Lin Yuan's chest. The sheer power and force of his palm strike were enough to pulverize a ten-thousand-pound boulder. Although Lin Yuan had absorbed his true form into Shi Kai's body, his mind could not merge with it. Even Shi Kai's exceptionally strong physique could not withstand the impact of this terrifying force. He was sent flying backward, bleeding profusely from Long Er's blow.

"Open!"

"Dad!"

"Idiot!"

...

Several horrified cries rang out as six figures rushed over. The next moment, Lin Yuan had fallen into a soft embrace. He looked up and saw Mo Junyan looking at him with tearful eyes and a pained expression. Dongfang Qian and Shi Siting were also in tears. Tuoya and Yu Mo, however, were glaring angrily at Long Er. To Lin Yuan's surprise, Sui Yuan had also arrived at the scene.

The tense atmosphere grew even more palpable.

Long Er said nonchalantly, "Quite a few reinforcements have arrived, including three who are actually the first generation of peerless assassins on the Black List. Hmm, not bad, but they can't do anything to me. Shi Aotian, if you know what's good for you, you'd better hand over the Ice Corpse quickly."

Sui Yuan was secretly shocked upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that the four people his organization leader had instructed him to obey at any time were actually the legendary first generation of peerless assassins on the Black List. Everyone on the Black List would never forget the great battle that destroyed the first and second generations of the Black List. Shi Aotian, Tuoya, and Yu Mo were definitely key figures in the two Black List battles. Although Mo Junyan wasn't among them, he was the fuse for both Black List battles, having caused Shi Aotian to lose his mind several times, transforming into a demonic form and charging relentlessly towards the Black List headquarters.

"You bastard, how dare you hurt my father! Prepare to die!"

Shi Siting shouted angrily upon hearing this, and leaped towards Long Er.

"Ting'er, be careful..."

Tuoya and Yu Mo were shocked upon seeing this and quickly jumped up. A person capable of easily injuring Shi Aotian is extremely rare. The fact that this opponent severely injured him without effort demonstrates their formidable strength. Shi Siting, blinded by rage, acted without considering the consequences. Tuoya and Yumo, greatly alarmed, unleashed their ultimate killing techniques.

Tuoya's 'Hundred Beast Form' transformed him into an elephant, his powerful and terrifying palm strike capable of shattering gold and stone, crashing down on Long Er like a tidal wave. Yumo's indestructible finger blades, densely packed like a torrential downpour, created a terrifying momentum, combining with Shi Siting's furious hand-blade attack; three sharp killing intents swept outwards. Several

explosions rang out, still the sounds of metal exploding. Tuoya, Yumo, and Shi Siting were all sent flying three to five feet away by Long Er's casual palm strike, while he remained unharmed in place.

Everyone was shocked. With the astonishing strength of Toya and Yumo, the top-ranked assassins on the Black List, their deadly techniques, and Shi Siting's ferocious hand-blade attacks (a direct inheritance from Shi Aotian), the combined killing power of these three masters was something few in the world would dare to underestimate. Yet, it had no effect on Long Er. Just who was this person, with such unfathomable strength?

Could this be the legendary indestructible body, impervious to blades and fire, Yu Yan and Wang Ping wondered to themselves.

Dongfang Qian, Mo Junyan, Toya, and Yumo, however, considered another possibility.

"Could it be another martial arts master?" the four exchanged glances and exclaimed.

"Mom, what's a martial arts master?" Shi Siting asked, startled.

"Your thinking is quite practical, though not entirely accurate. Hmm, clever," Long Er said calmly. This time, it was Yu Yan and Wang Ping's turn to pale with fear.

"Wu Lie, the eldest son of the founder of the Black List, was once selected by the Black List as an outstanding individual for human body modification. He was the undefeated legend of the first generation of assassins on the Black List, holding the title of 'Number One on the Black List' for over ten years. He killed countless people, earning the title of 'Human Weapon' with a record of killing five people a day, and his name was feared throughout the world. He was an unconventional being, half-human and half-mechanical, and was extremely rare in the world. No one could rival him. Since joining forces with Shi Aotian to destroy the Black List for the second time twenty years ago, there has been no news of him. Everyone says he is dead, but we firmly believe that he still exists because, through forbidden scientific modifications, his life has been extended indefinitely. As long as he wants, he may live endlessly. Unless he doesn't want to live anymore, no one in the world can harm him." After a long silence, Wang Ping spoke slowly.

“Although I don’t know much about the history of the Black List, I do know how powerful Wu Lie is. He once awed the world with his ‘indestructible body,’ becoming a legendary figure and an idol worshipped by all assassins and martial artists. Whether he’s a cyborg or not, as long as Long Er has his strength, he will be an invincible opponent, a terrifying existence,” Yu Yan sighed.

“Mom, is what they’re saying true?” Shi Siting asked in shock. She had thought her parents were already the most powerful and supreme figures in this world, but unexpectedly, there were still such unfathomable figures of unparalleled strength. This world is truly mysterious, full of unpredictable surprises.

Suiyuan’s heart was even more shocked than Shi Siting’s! She had thought that apart from the current number one on the Black List, 'Celestial Immortal,' her strength was unmatched in the world. However, tonight's trip to Mount Fuji revealed too many unexpected surprises. She realized that countless powerful figures still existed in this world, those she simply hadn't had the chance to meet. What she saw and heard tonight, while making her realize her own ignorance, was also enough to haunt her for a lifetime.

Mo Junyan nodded, her voice hoarse, "Yes."

"So what if he's a cyborg? Back then, Wu Lie was so powerful and terrifying, yet I wasn't afraid. Do you expect me to compromise with you today?" Toya coldly looked at Long Er and said.

"Your courage is commendable. If you were facing Wu Lie, you might still have a chance to live. For me, battle is cruel. I only have the young master's orders in my eyes. Anyone who stands in my way will die. I don't have Wu Lie's rich emotions and compassion." Long Er said coldly. "Shi Aotian, if you don't want to die, and don't want the people around you to die, you'd better obediently hand over the Ice Corpse and lead your men away. I will spare your life. Otherwise, you and I both know what the outcome will be!"

Lin Yuan took a breath and slowly stood up. He wasn't surprised at all that Long Er had so readily admitted his identity. Long Er's speed and terrifying palm force had surpassed the limits of humans in this era, surpassed Shi Kai's physical limits. Even the top experts of the super-evolved beings in the Great Universe Federation era of later generations would find it difficult to reach this level of strength. The only explanation was that he was a cyborg or an intelligent robot. However, through his battle with Long Er, Lin Yuan was certain that Long Er was definitely not a cyborg, but a truly fully intelligent robot, because his attack speed and attack state were all calculated and simulated by the quantum computer.

He had fought Feng Lin many times within the family and had memorized everything the quantum computer had programmed. No matter the type of intelligent robot, none could escape the perfect aggression inherent in them, bestowed by the quantum computer. Moreover, Lin Yuan couldn't sense a single fluctuation of life energy from him; he only possessed the metallic aura unique to intelligent robots.

Chapter 14 First Encounter with the Primordial Spirit

"Bullshit, who do you think you are? Hand it over just like that! The outcome is still uncertain, young man, don't talk big too soon." Toya sneered.

"So, you're planning to fight to the death." Long Er sneered, a strong killing intent flashing across his face.

"Little brat, don't think you can be a boss just because you've learned a few tricks. Bring it on, who's afraid of who? When I was out in the game, you were still wearing open-crotch pants." Toya sneered, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Old bastard, you're courting death!" Long Er roared in anger, and a gust of wind suddenly swept in.

"Why resort to sneak attacks? Let me handle you." Lin Yuan had been closely watching Long Er. Seeing the murderous intent on his face, Lin Yuan instantly stepped in front of Toya, unleashing a series of incredibly powerful and sharp hand strikes with all his might. He had almost suffocated from Long Er's sneak attack, and now, once he caught his breath, all he wanted was a fierce counterattack.

'Bang...' With a loud crash, Long Er was knocked back several steps, while Lin Yuan, like a kite with a broken string, coughed up blood and flew ten feet away, a streak of crimson blood glaringly visible in the night.

"Dad, are you alright?" Shi Siting rushed over and hugged him, tears streaming down her face.

"Kai, are you alright?" Mo Junyan and Dongfang Qian followed closely behind, their faces filled with pain and concern.

"I'm not dead yet," Lin Yuan said calmly, swaying slightly before standing up again. After this second exchange, he had completely figured out his opponent's strength.

The appearance of fully intelligent robots on Earth in the 21st century raises the question: could this be the creation of an intelligent civilization from outer space? With current Earthling technology, it's impossible to manufacture such fully automated, highly intelligent robots. However, according to later records of the Great Cosmic Federation, there are no ancient Chinese records. What's going on?

Was history flawed, or was the anomaly caused by temporal chaos? Would the family's history be altered by these uncertainties? Lin Yuan pondered, pushing aside Shi Siting and Dongfang Qian, before slowly walking forward.

"Father, you are seriously injured and should not fight anymore. Let your daughter fight in your place," Shi Siting hurriedly grabbed Lin Yuan's hand, anxiously saying.

"Yan'er, Qian'er, protect Tingting," Lin Yuan said calmly, gently pushing Shi Siting into Mo Junyan's arms. A powerful killing intent suddenly erupted from his body, and the supreme baleful aura instantly covered the entire Mount Fuji.

Feeling this soul-shaking shock, everyone knew that Lin Yuan was truly intent on killing.

Long Er still watched him calmly, but his expression gradually became solemn. He had sensed a strong sense of crisis from Lin Yuan, a feeling he had

never truly experienced in his long life. Shi Siting saw her father's terrifying, god-like side for the first time; the horrifying killing intent was so chilling that she was momentarily stunned.

As Lin Yuan slowly stepped forward, the oppressive atmosphere almost gave the illusion of mental instability. A bizarre weapon, about two meters long with four strangely arranged barrels, suddenly appeared mysteriously in Lin Yuan's hand. Everyone stared in shock, completely bewildered, wondering where he had obtained such a strange weapon. Looking at the gun barrel radiating a chilling killing intent, they secretly thought that its power must be terrifying.

"Only an Energy Storm Stream can counter an intelligent robot of your level. Long Er, if you are willing to admit defeat and leave now, I can spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cold-blooded," Lin Yuan said with a sinister smile, a cold, bloodthirsty glint flashing in his starry eyes.

"I appreciate your good intentions, but I cannot disobey orders. Shi Aotian, make your move. I will not back down easily," Long Er said calmly, leaping forward and unleashing a fierce gust of wind.

"Long Er, don't be impulsive!" Wang Ping felt a sudden, intense unease and hurriedly shouted.

"Excuse me," Wang Ping began, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuan grinned maliciously, pressed the activation button on the gun with one hand. The Storm Stream emitted a piercing roar, and a surge of red energy erupted from the muzzle, its terrifying destructive power instantly tearing Long Er's seemingly indestructible body to shreds. The power was astonishing.

The storm energy formed a huge fan shape, sweeping across Long Er's shattered body, instantly tearing Wang Ping and Yu Yan, who were standing three zhang behind him and had no time to react, to shreds. Amidst the flying blood and flesh, a faint figure emerged from Wang Ping's broken body, emanating a faint glow. In the night, it possessed a few ethereal, ghostly qualities.

"So this is what the legendary cultivation world calls the Primordial Spirit? Heh, such a cultivation method exists in the world. Interesting, very interesting." Lin Yuan stored the Storm Stream in his storage ring, and upon seeing this strange phenomenon, he was greatly impressed.

"Damn it, Shi Aotian, you wanted to kill Long Er and Yu Yan, fine, but why destroy my physical body too?" Wang Ping's Primordial Spirit roared angrily.

Before everyone could recover from the terrifying destructive power of the storm, they suddenly saw Wang Ping's primordial spirit and heard his words. They were once again speechless with shock. What they had seen and heard tonight far exceeded their imagination. The mysteries of this world were enough for them to savor for a lifetime.

"Sorry, it was just an accident." Lin Yuan said with a sinister smile. A blur flashed by, and he swiftly took out a silver bead that emitted a dazzling light from the abdominal cavity of Wang Ping's shattered corpse. A burst of azure light suddenly shot out from the broken corpse, spinning rapidly around Lin Yuan.

"Hehe, Dragon Source Power Inner Core." Lin Yuan sneered, a hint of bloodthirsty brilliance appearing on his handsome face. Everyone who saw it felt a chill for no reason.

Chapter 15 Imperial World-Shaking Decree

"Damn it, so you were after the 'Imperial World-Shaking Decree' inside me!" Wang Ping shouted angrily upon seeing this.

"Your life is intertwined with Long Xiaofei's, your power originates from the same source. Losing a piece of 'Dragon Source Power' gathering stone won't fundamentally harm you. Why be so petty?" Lin Yuan said with a sinister smile.

Wang Ping, upon hearing this, was filled with anger and hatred, yet helpless. Having lost his physical body and the source of his power, he could only submit to being slaughtered at will, despite his immense anger and unwillingness.

"Tingting, come to Daddy."

"Daddy," Shi Siting came to Lin Yuan's side with some fear. Ever since witnessing Lin Yuan's terrifying killing intent and inexplicable weapon, a sense of unreality had arisen in her heart. The father in front of her was so close, yet she felt a distance that was both familiar and strange.

"Swallow this bead," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Uh, Daddy, I don't want to, it's disgusting," Shi Siting looked at the dismembered corpse on the ground, a hint of disgust appearing on her beautiful face.

"Really don't want to?" Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Mm," Shi Siting looked at him timidly.

"This is a supernatural inner core. If you swallow it, it will bring you unexpected surprises. Countless powerful individuals dream of obtaining one but are unable to. Now, such a great opportunity is right in front of you, yet you refuse it. You truly don't know what's good for you," Lin Yuan

said, shaking his head. "Really?" Shi Siting looked at him doubtfully.

"Of course it's true. You are my precious daughter. Why would your father lie to you?" Lin Yuan said calmly.

"Ugh, how disgusting," Shi Siting muttered, but still closed her eyes and frowned as she swallowed the silver bead. Wang Ping's primordial spirit stood aside, watching with great resentment. He was not a cultivator and did not possess the supernatural ability to control supernatural powers after his primordial spirit separated from his body. His supernatural power came from his inner core, and his primordial spirit's existence was also based on it. Once he died, his inner core would lose the life essence it relied on, causing his primordial spirit to lose its ability to resist, leaving him with nothing but resentment and nowhere to vent it.

As the silver bead was swallowed by Shi Siting, the rapidly spinning azure light surrounding Lin Yuan instantly disappeared into Shi Siting's body.

"Daddy!" Shi Siting cried out in horror. She felt a blue light penetrate her body after swallowing the silver bead, and a powerful, terrifying force suddenly surged within her, surging and coursing through her. Her bones and tendons crackled slightly, her blood boiled, and the immense power almost shattered her delicate body. The excruciating pain made her pale and covered in cold sweat.

"Don't be afraid. This is a change caused by the Imperial World-Shaking Token entering your body and fusing with the Dragon Source Power to transform your physique after you swallowed the Dragon Source Power inner core. The pain will soon pass, my darling. You now possess the Dragon Source Power and the Imperial World-Shaking Token. You will gain infinite life and immense power," Lin Yuan quickly comforted her, gently embracing her.

"Really?" Shi Siting exclaimed with joy, enduring the pain.

"Yes! The power you possess now is equivalent to that of a legendary god. With proper cultivation and consolidation, you will surely achieve great things in the future." Lin Yuan nodded, and dazzling azure and silver light burst forth from Shi Siting's delicate body, gradually enveloping Lin Yuan and Shi Siting. Gusts of wind swirled around the two of them, creating vortexes. The powerful aura of a strong person suddenly filled the space, causing everyone to tremble involuntarily. A strong person—the mere aura emanating from their physical transformation was enough to fill people with fear; they were definitely a strong person.

"Dad, since it has such great power, why don't you use it? Dad, where did you learn about this?" Enveloped in the azure and silver light and the swirling winds, Shi Siting looked at Lin Yuan with a puzzled expression.

"Dad is old and doesn't need this. You are Dad's precious daughter, and you have a long road ahead of you. Of course, Dad will give it to you. As for where Dad learned about it, it was from an ancient Catholic book." Lin Yuan said calmly, but inwardly he felt ashamed. He looked no older than Shi Siting, but because he occupied Shi Kai's body, he had become her father. His tone was so old-fashioned that even he felt a sense of unreality.

In fact, he had already sensed the 'Imperial Supreme World-Shaking Token' within Wang Ping's body and knew the powerful effect of this energy-gathering stone. If Wang Ping were fully on guard and using his Dragon Source Power ability at full strength, he would definitely not gain any advantage. Only by taking advantage of Wang Ping's lack of defense and using a terrifyingly powerful and destructive weapon like Storm Stream could he possibly succeed in one strike.

According to the information given by Suiyuan, he knew that there were a total of eight 'Imperial Supreme World-Shaking Tokens' in the bodies of Long Xiaofei, Wang Ping, and others, each containing Dragon Source Power. Each 'Imperial Supreme World-Shaking Token' possessed life energy and carried immense power. If a mortal obtained one, they could definitely transcend the mortal realm and escape the cycle of life and death. If all eight 'Imperial Supreme World-Shaking Tokens' could be gathered together, their power would definitely be able to break through Saintess Jiang's seal. Lin Yuan immediately had a wicked thought. He knew that under the 'Saintess Seal,' without sufficient power, any supernatural ability entering his body would be sealed. Rather than suppressing his power, he decided to transfer it to someone else, perhaps providing powerful support in the future. More importantly, he currently lacked the strength to fight against Long Xiaofei and the others. If things went wrong and they came after him, he would be at a huge loss. After much deliberation, he decided to implant the 'Imperial Supreme World-Shaking Decree' into Shi Siting's body, letting her lure Long Xiaofei and the others there, while he would remain hidden, waiting for an opportunity to ambush them.

Shi Siting's innocent face and charming words made Lin Yuan feel ashamed, inwardly cursing himself for being despicable, but he couldn't say it outright.

"Daddy, I love you so much," Shi Siting said, moved, hugging Lin Yuan's waist and giving him a deep kiss.

"The power of the gods, hehe, even Daddy's weapon can't withstand it." Shi Siting looked at Lin Yuan's amazed expression as he stroked the lips she had kissed, and immediately realized her lapse in composure, blushing and giggling.

Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, changing the subject was the best way for Shi Siting to defuse the awkwardness. Lin Yuan, as expected, didn't dwell on it, shifting the focus and chuckling, "The power of the gods isn't omnipotent either. After all, gods are also cultivated from humans. Compared to humans, they can only extend their lifespan indefinitely. In terms of power, sometimes they are even inferior to humans. However, these situations depend on the environment and the individual. There is no absolute strength or weakness in nature, only infinite evolution."

"Daddy, you know so much! Tingting really loves you, so much!" Shi Siting looked at Lin Yuan with admiration, the azure and silver light gradually disappearing into her body. Her body had been completely transformed under the fusion of the Dragon Source Power 'Imperial Supreme World-Shaking Decree'.

Chapter 16 Mysterious Ambush

"Shi Aotian, you shameless scoundrel! You actually transferred my power to your daughter! I will never let you get away with this! One day, I will make you pay with your blood!"

A furious shout rang out. Hearing that her father had been insulted, Shi Siting glared angrily, only to see Wang Ping's spirit glaring at them with rage and resentment.

"That's right, shameless, utterly shameless! Wang Ping, let me avenge you!" A loud laugh suddenly rang out. Before everyone could recover from the joy of Shi Siting gaining such astonishing power, they were stunned by this laugh. A powerful, evil aura suddenly enveloped the entire Mount Fuji.

With a loud "bang," Lin Yuan was forcefully slammed into the ground by a powerful, mysterious force. Blood gushed out, instantly staining his handsome face red.

"Hahaha, hahaha!" A wild laugh rang out, and a young man with an evil aura suddenly appeared before everyone.

What an astonishing aura! What a powerful spiritual intimidation! That superior, domineering presence made everyone who saw him involuntarily submit. Lin Yuan, severely injured and lying on the ground, went unnoticed.

"Fang Xielong, it's you!" Wang Ping's primordial spirit exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, it is I, Wang Ping. Rest in peace, I will avenge you." The wicked youth laughed arrogantly, casually waving his hand, a black light enveloping Wang Ping's primordial spirit.

"Damn it!" A flash of silver light appeared, and Wang Ping screamed in agony, his soul instantly scattered.

"Shi Aotian, Shi Aotian, you will go with Wang Ping too." Fang Xielong flicked his hand back, once again sending Lin Yuan flying several feet away.

"Trying to take my life won't be so easy," Lin Yuan sneered, struggling to his feet. Fang Xielong's power was immense; a casual wave of his hand carried the force of ten thousand jun. If it weren't for the hidden power of the 'Saintess Seal' protecting Shi Kai, Lin Yuan would have been pulverized by Fang Xielong's power. Even so, he still felt his bones and muscles ache as if they were about to break, clearly indicating serious injury.

"Is that so?" With a cold voice, Fang Xielong appeared in front of Lin Yuan, grabbing his neck with one hand.

"A sneak attack, you're despicable! Let go of my father right now!" After gaining the power of the Dragon Source, Shi Siting instantly snapped out of Fang Xielong's mental shock. Seeing the situation, she was furious and casually unleashed several incredibly powerful hand blades, a silver light mixed with a powerful destructive aura surging forth.

"What can mere Dragon Source power do to me? Little beauty, I learned this move from your father, hahaha, hahaha, how about it, Shi Aotian? My 'Mantis Stalks Cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' move was quite effective, wasn't it?" Fang Xielong laughed arrogantly, casually unleashing a black light that silently neutralized Shi Siting's furious killing move. A powerful internal force then blasted her several feet away.

"Shi Aotian, quickly hand over the Ice Corpse, and I might spare your dog's life."

"Want the Ice Corpse? Fine, you'll have to get past my Storm Stream first." Lin Yuan sneered, and the Storm Stream suddenly appeared, its chilling muzzle pointing menacingly at Fang Xielong's chest.

"Storm Stream, what is that? This piece of scrap metal is what you used to kill Long Er, Wang Ping, and Yu Yan, Shi Aotian? You underestimate me too much! I am a half-energy human, a supreme being with infinite life. Your Storm Stream can't kill me." Fang Xielong laughed arrogantly.

"Is that so?" Lin Yuan smiled eerily, pressing the activation button. The storm burst forth with a piercing roar, and a stream of red energy shot out. Faced with Fang Xielong's arrogant and despicable behavior, he had already decided to kill him. He secretly turned the power up to the maximum, and the red energy stream reached a firing rate of millions of fingernail-sized chips per second, forming a true storm. The terrifying destructive power instantly tore Fang Xielong to shreds.

"Hahahaha, Shi Aotian, you are so stupid. You know I am immortal, yet you still waste ammunition to damage my physical body. So what? My primordial spirit is immortal, and my life is infinitely extended. You cannot kill me." A black curtain enveloped Fang Xielong's primordial spirit, which reappeared.

"I can't kill you, but I can leave you severely injured. No matter what kind of matter exists, it's inseparable from the structure of energy, and the powerful energy attack of the Storm Stream is the nemesis of every kind of matter. Although the primordial spirit is ethereal, it is still constructed from energy matter. Fang Xielong, don't overestimate yourself." Lin Yuan sneered, the red energy stream of the Storm Stream easily tearing apart his primordial spirit.

"Ah, this is impossible!" Fang Xielong cried out in disbelief, his weak voice quickly fading into the ear-piercing roar of the Storm Stream.

"A self-righteous, overconfident fellow." Lin Yuan snorted coldly, withdrawing the Storm Stream.

With Fang Xielong's disappearance, everyone instantly snapped out of the powerful mental shock. Mo Junyan quickly rushed into Lin Yuan's arms, tenderly stroking his cheek, saying, "Kai, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Remember, call me Yuan from now on." Lin Yuan hugged him tightly.

"Oh, I know." Although Mo Junyan found Lin Yuan's words puzzling, he still agreed.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to release her delicate body, his mind jolted, and he suddenly felt a mysterious, immense force gripping his soul, squeezing it tightly out of his body.

What on earth was happening? He heard Dongfang Qian and Mo Junyan's exclamations in his ears, and through his blurry vision, Lin Yuan saw that he had already taken to the air and was inexplicably flying forward.

"Hahaha, Shi Aotian, so what if you severely injured my primordial spirit with Storm Flow? I'll use the 'Soul Transfer Technique' to steal your body. Recovering in a short time is no problem. Hehe, Storm Flow, go be a wandering ghost!" A piercing, arrogant laugh rang out from within, Fang Xielong's smug smile.

"Useless. I have many restrictions within me. Fang Xielong, just wait and see." After a brief moment of panic, Lin Yuan laughed eerily. The Undying Soul Imprint was forced out of Shi Kai's body, leaving his true form to remain within Shi Aotian's body to slowly exert the restrictive power of the 'Saintess Seal'. Knowing it's futile, why force it? The road ahead is long, and all paths lead to the pinnacle of light. Why stay put? There's no harm in finding other ways to break the restrictions later.

In the darkness, Fang Xielong's screams and curses echoed, and a purple light vanished instantly in the east.

Chapter 17 A handsome young man knelt at the door of the second-floor bedroom in the

Century Supreme Villa in Y City , repeatedly saying, "Su Xin, it was my fault, I was wrong. I shouldn't have watched that video of yours. Please forgive me." "Go away, I don't want to see you again." The girl inside was already in utter despair. "Ah..." Suddenly, a purple light pierced through the air and instantly entered his body. The young man immediately coughed up blood and fainted on the spot. "Ah, Yuan, what happened to you? Don't scare me! Help! Yuan is in trouble! Someone come quick!" The girl inside rushed out upon hearing the commotion, witnessing the scene and screaming in horror. Amidst the panic and fear, a mysterious visitor was examining the young man's information within his mental imprint. Lin Xiaotian was the richest man in Y City, and the Lin Group of Y City had been a single-line family for three generations since its establishment. Like many large families, it was inevitable that the man would have several women, either openly or secretly. Lin Xiaotian married six wives, but only his third wife, Zhou Ping, bore him a son. Therefore, Lin Xinyuan became the heir apparent of the entire family. He was 176 cm tall, handsome, cheerful, and extremely chivalrous. Since the age of five, when he accompanied his father to an orphanage and took in Lin Suxin, he became infatuated with her. Unfortunately, women's hearts are unpredictable; if they dislike you, you are nothing to them. In Lin Suxin's eyes, Lin Xinyuan was a playboy, a man who could never be loyal to one woman. She ignored his kindness and even flirted with another man and slept with him. Heartbroken, Lin Xinyuan spent his days drinking heavily. His mothers tried to dissuade him, but were beaten by Lin Xiaotian. "If the men of the Lin family are so sentimental, what hope is there for them?" Lin Xinyuan suddenly realized this, his mind twisted from then on. He adopted Cao Mengde's words as his motto, believing that "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me," and forever remembered Lin Xiaotian's angry words. No matter the choice, there's always a price to pay, whether the outcome is good or bad. Lin Suxin chose a seemingly gentle and sunny boy, someone she could entrust her life to. But fate is unpredictable; after taking her virginity, he dumped her. The reason was simple: she was beautiful, but he disliked her because she came from an orphanage and wasn't good enough for him. If she were a real Lin family daughter, it would be fine, but she wasn't. Even with her thick skin, Lin Suxin was too ashamed to return to the Lin family. In the dead of night, she wandered aimlessly through the streets, vaguely recalling the helplessness of her childhood. Beautiful women alone often provide opportunities for criminals. Lin Suxin encountered thugs, and although no hero came to her rescue, the police did come to her aid, which was fortunate. The police took her back to the Lin family home. Lin Xiaotian asked Lin Xinyuan to decide, but he didn't say anything. So, his aunt let her stay, after all, they had been friends for over ten years. It seemed the matter was temporarily resolved, but unexpectedly, Lin Suxin's boyfriend filmed their intimate moments and threatened Lin Xinyuan to pay a million to buy the original. After watching the backup tape, Lin Xinyuan was furious, summoned Lin Suxin and berated her, alarming his family. He was punished by his father, leading to the scene described above. After reviewing the materials, Lin Yuan sighed inwardly; emotions are always humanity's greatest mystery. During the battle at Mount Fuji, he was ambushed by Fang Xielong and forced to transfer his mind again, possessing another body. Shi Kai's physical body was missing. "A mental storage space ring!" Lin Yuan suddenly exclaimed in shock, leaping up. A sharp pain shot through his brain, and his entire body felt as if it were falling apart. Lin Yuan knew this was due to Fang Xielong's 'Soul Transfer Technique' severely injuring his mind. It seemed it would be difficult to recover in less than three to five months, Lin Yuan sighed inwardly. "Brother, you're awake. Are you alright?" A soft, melodious voice, tinged with anxiety, came from behind. The next moment, a pair of smooth, soft jade hands embraced him. Lin Yuan opened his eyes and saw a beautiful young woman. Her delicate and pretty face, arched eyebrows, captivating phoenix eyes, small, exquisite nose, and cherry-like lips radiated a faint glow. "What a pure and beautiful woman," Lin Yuan thought to himself, inhaling her faint fragrance. A strong primal instinct instantly surged within him. No matter the danger he faced, his lust remained unchanged. Sensing this intense change within himself, Lin Yuan blushed and inwardly berated himself for his foolishness. "I'm fine, I just need to lie down for a bit. You can go out now, I need to rest," Lin Yuan said, trying to cover up his feelings, and quickly lay down. "Oh, brother, if you need anything, remember to call me," the beautiful girl said, looking at him with reluctance. "I know, go out," Lin Yuan said impatiently, closing his eyes. Seeing this, the beautiful girl had no choice but to retreat helplessly. " Damn it," Lin Yuan cursed inwardly, feeling extremely frustrated. In the battle at Mount Fuji, his true body had been retrieved, but it had been sealed by Saintess Jiang's 'Saintess Seal,' and his mental storage ring had disappeared along with Shi Kai's physical body. He was severely injured, his mind damaged, unable to merge with his true body. Even with the ring and the 'Time-Space Conversion Device,' he couldn't travel through time and return to the chaotic space. What should he do next? Lin Yuan pondered silently, drifting off to sleep. Lin Suxin looked at the sleeping boy, her beautiful eyes filled with despair. Was there really no way out? Lin Suxin silently asked herself, why, why did this happen? The men of the Lin family would never be loyal to one woman. She had reluctantly chosen a man she found somewhat pleasing to the eye, hoping to live a peaceful life, but alas, she had been blind; when she was bullied by a few thugs, she truly thought her life was over, but she was rescued. Returning home, although it wasn't entirely a home in the true sense, it was the place where she had lived for thirteen years, the place where she had grown up, and it felt like home. All her relatives were in this house. The mothers had all been so good to her, except for her third aunt, and her uncle (Lin Susu called Lin Xiaotian "uncle"), and him… Everything she had was given to her by him. She was originally an orphan, nameless, without a single relative. Even her birthday was the same as his, a gift from him. Ironically, on her 17th birthday, she gave herself to another man, not wanting to share him with other women. Now, she didn't even have the chance to share him anymore. She only hoped he would give her hope to live, hoped he would care about her a little more—such a luxurious thought. Seeing him watching that tape made her realize how foolish she had been. Before, he would have only protected her, never letting her be threatened. He had actually knelt before her, begging for her forgiveness. But why couldn't he forgive her? If he were willing to forgive her, he wouldn't have knelt before her; he would have just smiled and casually said, "She's my woman, what's the big deal about looking at her?" Tears streamed down her face; the beautiful girl looked so pitiful. Chapter 18 First Steps onto Campus: Y City High School. Following Lin Xinyuan's memories, Lin Yuan slowly walked along the school road of this prestigious Y City high school.

Due to the damage to his mind, Lin Yuan had no choice but to impersonate Lin Xinyuan and attend school after the Lin family's near-miss. This was also to give himself time to recover.

The soul crystal residing in his mind had been severely damaged by Fang Xielong's evil power; if he didn't repair it quickly, how could he seize the true body?

Lin Suxin followed silently behind him, her face filled with melancholy and loss. She seemed lost in thought, her beautiful eyes frequently gazing absently at Lin Yuan's back. Lin Yuan, preoccupied with his own thoughts, didn't notice.

One of the designated heirs of the royal family of the Great Universe Federation fifty thousand years later, he was actually returning to the Republic era fifty thousand years ago, playing the role of a student. Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly! Was it fortunate or unfortunate? Revisiting history was a mistake, Lin Yuan consoled himself.

"Kid, did you bring the money?"

Just as Lin Yuan entered the classroom, a jarring voice abruptly interrupted his thoughts amidst the clamor.

Lin Yuan was extremely displeased. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a thin, seemingly refined-looking young man with glasses brazenly blocking his path, looking at him defiantly.

When Lin Suxin saw this man, her face instantly turned extremely ugly, her beautiful eyes filled with piercing hatred. After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Yuan immediately realized that this bespectacled young man was the one who had taken Lin Suxin away and filmed her to blackmail Lin Xinyuan.

"Heh heh, trying to mess with me? You're asking for it! You've even tried to extort me!" Lin Yuan sneered inwardly,

then said coldly, "Where did this four-eyed rat come from in broad daylight? Getting in my way." The students in the class burst into laughter. The four-eyed boy flew into a rage, his face turning bright red. After a long while, he threatened in a hateful voice, "Lin Xinyuan, don't be so smug. I'm not going to waste my breath on you. If I don't get the money today, hmph, your little sister won't be able to go to school here anymore."

"Zhang Pan, are you tired of living? How dare you threaten Brother Yuan? Do you want to die?"

Before Lin Yuan could answer, a boy suddenly stood up and started cursing. Lin Yuan glanced at him coldly and recognized him as Hong Ping, Lin Xinyuan's good friend and best buddy.

"I'm going to threaten him. What can you do about it? Heh heh, Hong Ping, don't forget, my girlfriend now is Mo Yantao. You're not qualified to mess with me." The four-eyed boy sneered smugly.

"You shameless bastard! What kind of man is it to bully others by leaning on a woman's back? Hmph, if I were you, I would have already smashed my head against a block of tofu to save myself from making a fool of myself here." Hong Ping choked, then sneered, clearly also wary of Mo Yantao.

"You, you dare to insult me!" Zhang Pan's face turned pale with anger.

"So what if I insult you? Hit me then." Hong Ping looked at him provocatively and sneered.

"Fine, I'll remember you. We'll see." Zhang Pan wanted to rush forward, but he was afraid of Hong Ping's size and would be at a disadvantage in a fight. After weighing his options, he could only threaten him angrily.

"We'll see, I'll see. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Hong Ping sneered.

"Hmph, we'll settle our score later." Zhang Pan said hatefully, then turned to Lin Yuan, who was standing aside watching the show, and said, "Kid, where's your money?"

Lin Yuan looked around. Apart from Hong Ping's resentful expression and Lin Suxin staring at Zhang Pan with hatred, there was no one else around. The crowd watched coldly, as if watching a show. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, lamenting the decline of morality and the increasing selfishness of humanity.

"You really want the money?" Lin Yuan suddenly asked with a smile.

"Of course," Zhang

Pan replied. "Very good, very good. I can give you the money, but there will be a price to pay," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"What price?" Zhang Pan asked curiously, a sudden, intense unease creeping over him at Lin Yuan's smile.

Lin Suxin snorted angrily, "Lin Xinyuan, my affairs are none of your business. I won't give you a single penny."

"What's the rush? I didn't say I was really going to give it to you. Let me finish what I have to say," Lin Yuan said calmly. Zhang Pan's face had already changed color upon hearing Lin Suxin's words. Hearing Lin Yuan's words, his curiosity was piqued, and he couldn't help but listen intently. The others also showed expressions of interest.

"Tell me, what price do I have to pay to get the money?" Zhang Pan said coldly.

"The price..." Lin Yuan suddenly seemed embarrassed and punched him. "Go to hell! If I don't get what you have by tomorrow morning, you'll be crippled!"

Lin Yuan's punch was incredibly powerful. Executed with the same force as Shi Kai, even with only a fraction of his killing power, Zhang Pan couldn't withstand it. He had barely finished hearing Lin Yuan's words when he was knocked unconscious by the swift and sudden punch.

The crowd erupted in uproar. Who would have expected Lin Yuan to suddenly unleash a killing blow while smiling? Who could have predicted that the price he spoke of would be a sudden punch? Perhaps this was what they called a smile hiding a dagger, the crowd mused, only to be met with Lin Yuan's icy gaze. He seemed like a completely different person, radiating a faint yet intense killing intent, a chilling aura that shook everyone to their very souls. Everyone hurriedly fell silent. The aura of a king, so powerful it seemed to rule the world, was truly astonishing, instilling a deep sense of submission and fear in everyone.

"Although Lin Suxin has her own fault for causing such an embarrassing situation, she is still a woman of the Lin family. From now on, anyone who brings up this matter again or spreads rumors behind her back will be severely punished if I find out," Lin Yuan said coldly, smashing the desk in front of him with a single blow. Splinters of wood flew everywhere, and wherever his cold gaze swept, everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The feeling of being a powerful ruler is truly exhilarating, Lin Yuan thought to himself. He knew that threatening everyone with force wouldn't be very effective; after all, humans, whether male or female, are naturally gossipy, and the more you suppress news, the faster it spreads. His actions were merely to relive his past glory. Lin Suxin? Heh heh, he wouldn't care about her affairs.

Hong Ping stared at him in astonishment, unable to understand why Lin Xinyuan, who was powerless last night, seemed like a completely different person today, with such a terrifying aura and such formidable strength. Everyone shared the same thought. Little did they know, today's Lin Xinyuan was not the Lin Xinyuan of yesterday.

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Lin Suxin felt a surge of joy. He still loved her! He still loved her! But then she thought sadly, "I hurt him so deeply. Can our relationship ever return to its former harmony?"

Lin Yuan paid no heed to Lin Suxin's thoughts. He coldly stared at everyone and said, "Before, I was too soft-hearted, so much so that I didn't know how to fight back when others bullied me. From today onwards, I will drop the 'heart' from my name. Hehe, 'Heart Yuan,' 'Soft-hearted,' listen up! From now on, I will be called Lin Yuan. Anyone who calls me Lin Xin Yuan again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Lin Suxin was stunned. She knew his heart was gone, and his love was gone forever. She was heartbroken beyond measure. The others, however, paid no attention to her and hurriedly nodded in agreement under Lin Yuan's cold gaze.

Having finally completely erased Lin Xinyuan's identity mark, Lin Yuan felt a surge of relief, his pride returning. His aura of power instantly became unmistakable, exuding an air of absolute dominance. Once again, everyone showed submission and fear under his imperial presence.

"Brother Yuan, what should we do with this guy?"

Only after Lin Yuan dissipated his powerful aura did Hong Ping recover. He frowned, looking at Zhang Pan lying unconscious on the ground like a dead dog, and respectfully said to Lin Yuan, "Although Zhang Pan, that gigolo, is utterly despicable, Mo Yantao is not someone to be trifled with."

"Mo Yantao? What a jerk! I'm not afraid of her. Hmph, once she's here, we'll see what she gets. Hong Ping, throw this trash out. Don't disturb my rest." Lin Yuan snorted coldly, stretched, and then sat down at his seat, slumping onto the table and snoring.

Hong Ping obeyed and left. Lin Suxin sighed softly and sat down beside him. Those who were already eager to hear what had happened had already spread the word.

Chapter 19: Another Dispute Erupts

– "Damn it!"

A beautiful girl with bleached blonde hair and an alluring aura stormed in, leading a group of students.

In Class 3 of Grade 11, a teacher was giving a long lecture when he suddenly saw the girl. He wisely fled the classroom; these rich kids were not to be trifled with. He, a working student, wasn't about to risk his job. The other students also discreetly stepped aside; the show was about to begin.

A loud 'bang' echoed as a hand slammed onto a desk. Lin Suxin tried to stand up to speak, but two boys immediately approached, pressing two knives to her delicate neck.

"If you don't want scars on your pretty face, shut up," one of the boys coldly threatened.

Lin Suxin was terrified and speechless, only able to nod repeatedly, her eyes pleading with Hong Ping.

Seeing the situation was turning against him, Hong Ping quickly and tactfully looked away when the beautiful girl gave him a cold stare. He felt a deep fear of the beautiful girl in front of him.

A loud noise mercilessly pulled Lin Yuan back to reality from his dream.

"Who is it?" he muttered to himself. What a cute kid. The surrounding students, seeing the beautiful girl glaring at him, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for him.

"You're Lin Xinyuan. You're the one who hit Zhang Pan." The beautiful girl looked at him coldly and said in a disdainful voice.

"That four-eyed rat was indeed hit by me. You want to stand up for him, but you don't need to go to such lengths. Trying to scare me? Who do you think you are, you little brat?" Lin Yuan saw the situation clearly and knew that the other party was hostile. He didn't care and said arrogantly.

"You don't even know who I am? Looks like you can't stay in this school anymore." The beautiful girl said in surprise. Everyone looked at him as if he were a monster.

"Who do you think you are, Joey Wong or Angie Chiu? Why would I need to know you? If it weren't for the fact that you're a woman, and just because you're here for Zhang Pan, I would have thrown you out the door long ago. Why would I waste my breath talking to you here?" Lin Yuan said impatiently.

"You bastard, how dare you talk to my young lady like that? You brat, are you tired of living?" A young man with light blue dyed hair and a fierce face glared at Lin Yuan.

"The female lead hasn't even spoken yet, what are you doing, you extra, trying to steal her lines?" Lin Yuan sneered. Before he finished speaking, the beautiful girl heard a gust of wind, and the blond-haired boy had already groaned and collapsed to the ground. Such speed! Everyone who witnessed this scene paled in horror. If they hadn't seen Lin Yuan calmly flick his palm, they would have thought they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

The young woman was secretly alarmed, but her expression remained unchanged. She calmly said, "Undeniably, you are a formidable opponent. I've dominated the school streets of Y City for so long, and I've seen people more powerful than you, but no one has ever dared to be so disrespectful to me. I'm here today with Zhang Pan in mind, and I, Mo Yantao, want to see what you can do to me."

"I disdain to lay a hand on a woman. If someone desperately threatens me, I might make an exception for you," Lin Yuan said calmly.

"What exception? Hit me?" Mo Yantao looked at him defiantly.

"You're very clever, I like that," Lin Yuan praised, before delivering a massive punch without mercy to her beautiful face. A dark circle immediately appeared around her left eye, resembling the black-rimmed glasses of a giant panda.

"Ah, you really hit me? You dare to hit me?" Mo Yantao stared at him in disbelief, and after a long while, she exclaimed in shock and anger.

"Why wouldn't I dare? Did you think I was joking?" Lin Yuan chuckled, punching Mo Yantao's right eye socket black.

A commotion erupted, and Mo Yantao looked utterly disheveled. Born into the prestigious Mo family of Y City, she had been a pampered princess since childhood, one of the fifteen most beautiful girls in Y City's high schools. With her stunning beauty and ruthless methods, she had amassed a large following of protectors, becoming one of the recognized leaders of the school's underworld alliance. Never before had she suffered such a humiliation, and a fierce hatred and killing intent surged within her.

The crowd, however, was terrified by Lin Yuan's sudden display of terrifying power and impressed by his audacity. Even Hong Ping, a man of loyalty and righteousness, bowed his head before Mo Yantao. Lin Yuan's astonishing actions undoubtedly emboldened him; while impressed by Lin Yuan, he was also filled with worry and concern. Lin Suxin remained silent from the beginning, her beautiful eyes filled with sorrow as she glanced at Lin Yuan, her preoccupied expression making it impossible to guess her thoughts.

"Kill this bastard who offended the young lady! Brothers, attack!"

Someone shouted, startling Mo Yantao's men. They roared in unison, immediately drawing their knives and rushing forward.

"Kids these days, why are they all so violent? Heh, carrying weapons? Sigh, they're really overestimating themselves," Lin Yuan shook his head and sighed.

A blur of motion flashed past, punches, kicks, elbows, and chops raining down. The confined space limited the power of the group attack. The crowd jostled and jostled, trying to protect themselves from accidental blows while simultaneously attacking Lin Yuan and guarding against his counterattacks. The scene was chaotic, but it gave Lin Yuan the opportunity to pick them off one by one. With his lightning-fast speed, these utterly weaklings were no match for him. Before the afterimages in everyone's eyes had even faded, a wave of killing intent washed over them. Arms and bones were broken, and they collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony. Mo Yantao looked on in horror; none of her men were even able to stand unscathed.

"Fine, very well, I'll remember you. You're ruthless!" Mo Yantao gritted her teeth, her voice filled with hatred.

"It's a pleasant thing to be remembered by a beautiful woman. Go in peace. I won't forget you either. After all, not many women can earn me 'precious glasses.' Miss Mo, you should feel honored," Lin Yuan said, his elegant and composed smile returning. If they hadn't witnessed Lin Yuan's astonishing strength firsthand, no one would have believed that the terrifying figure who had defeated them moments before was actually this smiling young man.

Strength, this was strength.
