123: Chapter 123 Suppression of Dharma Form!
Chi la—
The sound of billions of Spirit Blades slicing through flesh was so sharp it felt as if it would tear one's eardrums apart.
Within Purple Dragon City, countless prying divine senses froze at this moment.
Is it over?
The lord of an Imperial Clan with a thousand-year heritage, Emperor Zhenyue of the Emperor Realm Three Stars, was being obliterated by an eighteen-year-old youth using a torture nearly akin to death by a thousand cuts?
This thought caused a tremor of fear in everyone watching the battle.
However, at the center of the storm, a suppressed roar tore through the sky-filling sharp light.
"Roar—!"
Boom!
A wave of pure earthy-yellow air exploded from the inside out, violently expanding and shattering the storm of Spirit Blades!
The sky-filling cyan-white willow leaves swirled back, floating quietly behind Lin Yuan.
The dust dissipated.
Baili Jiang's figure was revealed.
Pathetic.
A state of wretchedness that words could not describe.
He was drenched in blood, his imperial robes reduced to rags, and every inch of his skin was covered in wounds deep enough to see bone.
Even more terrifyingly, wisps of pitch-black Fire of Guixu clung to him like maggots on a corpse, burning silently at the edges of his wounds, greedily devouring his life force and Imperial Dao True Essence.
His hair was disheveled, one eye socket was a bloody, mangled hollow, and his remaining eye burned with a venomous hatred that all the rivers and seas could not wash away.
"Huff... huff..."
Baili Jiang panted heavily, every breath coughing up blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.
He stared fixedly at the figure suspended in mid-air, whose Dragon Armor had not been stained by even a speck of dust.
A monster!
This youth was a complete and utter monster that should not exist in this world!
Inside Purple Dragon City, there was dead silence.
In the Qin Family estate, an elder crushed a purple clay teacup into powder with a "crack"; hot tea soaked his palm, but he was completely oblivious.
"The King Realm... has pushed an Emperor Realm Three Stars to such a state?"
No one could answer.
What they were witnessing was the iron law of martial arts being trampled and torn to shreds.
A King Realm cultivator, with a mere wave of his hand, had beaten an established Emperor Realm expert of four hundred years into a broken husk with his lamp running dry!
This wasn't a genius, nor was it a monstrous talent.
This was a living myth walking the mortal world!
At the Baili Family estate, the remaining clansmen looked at their ancestor's miserable state; their last bit of morale completely collapsed, leaving only pure despair on their faces.
"Ancestor..."
The sorrowful cries of his clansmen became the final straw that broke Baili Jiang's sanity.
In his single eye, a frenzied blood-red light completely overflowed.
He could not lose!
If he lost, the thousand-year foundation and glory of the Baili Imperial Clan would be entirely buried!
He would become a laughingstock passed down through the ages in the entire Yan Country!
"Little beast!"
Baili Jiang let out a beast-like roar, his voice hoarse and filled with indignation.
"You think... you've won like this?!"
"How can you possibly imagine the foundation this Emperor has built over four hundred years of dominance!"
The moment his voice fell, he slammed his foot down on the void!
Rumble—!
The entire Baili Mountain, and even the earth veins for a hundred miles around, let out a violent wail at this moment!
Endless earthy-yellow earth vein essence was forcibly extracted from deep underground, turning into visible torrents of energy that surged frantically into Baili Jiang's broken body!
His injuries were healing at a visible rate.
His aura was climbing steadily, surpassing his previous peak in an instant!
"He's burning the earth veins! He's gambling away a hundred years of the Baili Family's fortune!"
An expert watching the battle cried out in horror.
Lin Yuan just watched calmly.
Watching this final struggle of a cornered beast.
What he wanted was to force out all of his opponent's trump cards and all of their pride.
And then.
Use the most absolute and unreasonable method to thoroughly grind them into dust!
"DIE! FOR! ME!"
Baili Jiang roared to the heavens as his body began to swell and grow taller!
Earthy-yellow Law Runes shot out from his body, merging frantically with the boiling earth vein energy.
In an instant, a terrifying giant a thousand meters tall rose from the ground!
That giant's head touched the heavens and its feet trod on the mountains; its body was not flesh and blood, but condensed from the purest Earth Laws and mountain-river veins!
Ancient, heavy, and peerless!
Ten Thousand Mile Zhenyue Manifestation!
Baili Jiang's figure merged into the manifestation's brow, becoming the will of this mountain deity.
The thousand-meter manifestation stood tall between heaven and earth; just the leaking pressure caused the Baili Mountain Range below to crack inch by inch and made Purple Dragon City, a hundred miles away, shake violently.
"Is... is this the true power of an Emperor?"
A natural disaster! This is a walking natural disaster!"
From the manifestation's brow, Baili Jiang's giant face made of rock looked down at Lin Yuan, who was as tiny as a speck of dust, and let out a roar that shook heaven and earth.
"Before this Emperor's manifestation, you are nothing but an ant!"
"Now, turn to dust!"
The mountain god-man slowly raised his giant fist, which was like a mountain peak.
A single punch smashed down!
No technique, only the purest and most primitive power!
The air was compressed to the extreme, letting out a piercing shriek, and the space under this massive force even showed glass-like ripples!
Facing this world-destroying strike, Lin Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
Has he given up?
This thought arose in countless people's hearts.
It made sense; facing such divine might, any resistance seemed pale.
On Baili Jiang's massive rock face, a cruel and gratified expression finally appeared.
Die!
The giant fist, carrying the shadow of destruction, crashed down!
Just as the fist was about to touch the top of Lin Yuan's head.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
An aura that reigned over all things and laws appeared behind him.
This was a suppression originating from the level of life and source.
A manifestation quietly appeared.
Its entire body was a warm jade-white, with profound golden Dao patterns flowing between its textures.
It wore the Myriad Phenomena Dao Crown and was draped in the Origin Returning Emperor Robes.
Its facial features were ninety percent similar to Lin Yuan's, but its temperament was entirely different.
It was a kind of... Immortal Emperor's charm that looked down upon the ages, wielded all laws, and whose word was truth!
Myriad Transformations Returning to Origin Supreme Manifestation!
Once the Supreme Manifestation appeared.
That thousand-meter mountain manifestation, which had previously dominated heaven and earth with overbearing power, actually began to tremble violently!
That world-destroying fist just stopped in mid-air, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch!
It wasn't that Baili Jiang had stopped.
But rather, before this Supreme Manifestation that resembled a young Emperor, his manifestation was... instinctively terrified!
It was like earth and stone looking up at divine gold, or common iron worshipping an immortal sword!
It was an absolute, unreasonable...
Rank suppression!
At this moment, Lin Yuan stood before the Supreme Manifestation; the ferocity of the Black-Cyan Dragon Armor and the transcendence of the Jade-White Divine Manifestation complemented each other.
He was no longer just a youth.
But a...
Young Heavenly Emperor walking the mortal world!
