257: God-Slaying Palace Master

At this moment, aside from Yang Lingchen, only Yan Tiandu, Su Dongjie, and Ling Lanshang remained at the scene.

“Since none of you dare to make a move, then This Prince shall give it a try!”

After a moment of hesitation, Su Dongjie resolutely walked toward Senior.

He knew very well in his heart that the probability of him defeating this energy Clone was minuscule, but since he had already come here, if he didn't even have the courage to challenge it, then his achievements in this life would likely end right here.

Just like Su Jinrou, he held a sword in one hand and a defensive Emperor Weapon in the other, then launched an attack toward Senior.

However, even with full preparation, Su Dongjie still only lasted for two moves before being powerfully blasted away by Senior's energy Clone, and was immediately teleported outside the pyramid.

“Eh? Junior Brother Yang, wasn't there another girl with you?” At this time, Ling Lanshang spoke up and asked.

“Wushuang knew she wasn't a match, so she left first,” Yang Lingchen responded casually.

“Junior Brother Yang, you go try first. I'll cover the rear to prevent that fellow Yan Tiandu from making a move against you,” Ling Lanshang said.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Ling. Then I'll go give it a try.”

Yang Lingchen nodded and then walked steadily toward Senior.

“Senior, I didn't expect we would meet here again. It is this Junior's honor to have the privilege of exchanging blows with your energy Clone.” Yang Lingchen cupped his fists toward Senior and gave a respectful bow.

However, Senior showed no reaction; clearly, he was just a mindless energy Clone without any memories or emotions.

“Junior is making a move now, please be careful.”

As soon as Yang Lingchen's voice fell, his figure instantly turned into an afterimage, blasting a Domain Breaking Fist Aura toward Senior.

Senior's energy Clone was not to be outdone either, powerfully throwing a punch toward Yang Lingchen.

“Rumble... Rumble...!”

With a deafening roar, both sides were forced back seven or eight steps before they managed to stop.

After this clash, Yang Lingchen had gained a general understanding of this energy Clone's strength.

The combat power of this energy Clone could be called absolutely terrifying within the same Realm.

At least in Yang Lingchen's view, aside from himself and Liu Xueying, there should be no one in this Tianfeng World who could defeat Senior's energy Clone at the same Realm.

Of course, Liu Xueying's talent was definitely that of a peerless Prodigy level existence.

From her ability to challenge those at higher levels and the Cultivation Technique she practiced, Yang Lingchen knew deeply that she was by no means an ordinary person.

Naturally, in the strike just now, Yang Lingchen hadn't used his full strength; he had only used fifty percent of his power.

The battle continued.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten moves had passed. While using only fifty percent of his power, Yang Lingchen gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, on the twentieth move, Yang Lingchen threw a full-power punch, directly shattering Senior's energy Clone.

“Congratulations on successfully passing the combat talent assessment.”

At this moment, that mysterious, ancient voice rang out once again.

Then, Yang Lingchen was enveloped by a flash of dazzling white light and subsequently disappeared from the main hall.

“How can this kid's combat talent be so strong?” Seeing Yang Lingchen defeat the energy Clone, Yan Tiandu couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, he secretly made up his mind that once they left the God Slaying Palace Ruins, no matter what price he had to pay, he would kill Yang Lingchen.

After all, the enmity between Yang Lingchen and the Firmament Sacred Land had already reached an irreconcilable point.

Next, it was Yan Tiandu's turn to issue a challenge.

Although he knew deep down it would be difficult to defeat the energy Clone, he still did his best, using every trick up his sleeve.

In the end, under the sharp offensive of Senior's energy Clone, Yan Tiandu only lasted for three moves before being blasted away.

Finally, it was Ling Lanshang's turn. His strength was comparable to Yan Tiandu's, and he likewise lasted only three moves before being blasted away... In a secret chamber at the very top of the pyramid.

Yang Lingchen and Liu Xueying were carefully observing this enclosed secret chamber.

“Congratulations to you both for successfully passing the final assessment of the God Slaying Palace.” Just then, that mysterious, ancient voice rang out.

Immediately following that, an old man with white hair and a white beard appeared suddenly before Yang Lingchen and the other without any warning.

“Senior, why didn't you give us a heads-up first? Appearing so suddenly like this could scare someone to death, you know?” Yang Lingchen said with a smile, teasingly.

“Truly worthy of being a peerless Prodigy; no wonder you can still talk and laugh so freely upon seeing this old man,” the old man said.

“Senior, you wouldn't happen to be the Palace Master of the God Slaying Palace, Qingxuzi, would you?” Yang Lingchen asked.

“Correct, this old man is indeed Qingxuzi,” the old man said with a sigh.

“Then haven't you lived for over a million years?” Yang Lingchen asked curiously.

“No, this old man's original body died at the hands of people from the Divine Realm as early as a million years ago,” Qingxuzi said slowly.

“Divine Realm? Could it be that Senior has been to the Divine Realm?” Yang Lingchen followed up curiously.

“This old man has naturally never been to the Divine Realm, but in the Tianfeng World, there exists a group of lackeys of the people from the Divine Realm.” At the mention of the Divine Realm, a flash of deep-seated hatred instantly flickered in Qingxuzi's eyes.

“There are lackeys of the Divine Realm people in the Tianfeng World? What does that mean?” Yang Lingchen asked impatiently.

Liu Xueying, on the other hand, listened quietly from the side.

“One and a half million years ago, the Tianfeng World at that time had a flourishing Martial Dao, with as many as dozens of God Lord Realm powerhouses, and the strength of various Sects was steadily improving.”

“But the good times didn't last. Suddenly one day, a group of terrifying Half-step True God Realm powerhouses appeared in the Tianfeng World, and they went around capturing the God Lords of the Tianfeng World.”

“In less than half a month, except for this old man, all the other God Lord Realm powerhouses in the Tianfeng World were captured by them,” Qingxuzi said in a heavy voice.

“Then why did they capture the God Lords?” Yang Lingchen asked, full of doubt.

“These people should be from a certain Family in the Divine Realm. They captured the God Lords only to refine the Divine Blood within their bodies to provide for the cultivation of their descendants.”

Qingxuzi's eyes were filled with the color of hatred.

“Fuck, these beasts actually did such a cold-blooded thing.” An expression of extreme anger instantly appeared on Yang Lingchen's face.

He knew very well that Divine Blood had already condensed within the body of the God Lord Realm. Once this Divine Blood was stripped and refined, it could allow a newborn Divine Realm infant's cultivation level to directly reach the God Lord Realm.

“In order to oppose them, this old man founded the God Slaying Palace, but unfortunately, success eluded me in the end.”

“Later, under their pursuit, the God Emperor Realm Cultivators of the Tianfeng World were like they were standing on the edge of an abyss or treading on thin ice; no one dared to easily Breakthrough to the God Lord Realm.”

“In the fifty thousand years that followed, no God Lord Realm Cultivator ever appeared in the Tianfeng World again.”

“Until a million years ago, a stunningly brilliant super Genius finally appeared in the Tianfeng World; he is the one well-known as the Tianfeng Progenitor God, Lin Tian Absolute.”

“But he was outnumbered and eventually driven to a desperate situation by those people, until he stumbled into this old man's God Slaying Palace Ruins and narrowly escaped disaster.”

“Later, this old man discussed with Lin Tian Absolute to have him leave behind an energy Clone to assess the younger generations of the Tianfeng World, hoping to find a peerless Prodigy in the future who could save the Tianfeng World,” Qingxuzi said slowly.
