486: Repel the enemy

"This is impossible!"

After a long silence, a voice of disbelief suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and it was none other than the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace, the one who had cast the spell. He no longer had his previous composure, his face filled with incredulity.

Thinking about it, it wasn't hard to understand. The Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace had even brought out such a Primordial Treasure. Logically, he should have been victorious.

The scene that had just unfolded completely overturned his understanding. Such a reaction was entirely normal.

And this was considering the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace's mental fortitude. If it were an ordinary person, their Dao heart might have long been unstable, driven to madness.

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court and the others were also filled with horror, their hearts greatly shaken.

They had witnessed the power of the Primordial Treasure, so the impact of this scene on them was immense.

"Who exactly are you?"

The Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace said in a low voice, filled with intense pressure.

In his opinion, a being of Lin Yan's caliber couldn't be unknown. He wanted to know the other party's identity.

"You don't need to know who I am. However, you lost this wager. According to our agreement, you must hand over all the fragments owned by your Vermilion Bird Palace to me!"

Lin Yan merely responded indifferently.

"Hmph, this Palace Lord hasn't lost yet!"

The Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace snorted coldly, about to continue activating the Chaos Yin-Yang Gourd in his hand. One should know that this Primordial Treasure had more than just the Yin-Yang Grand Millstone as a method.

Seeing this, Lin Yan had no interest in getting entangled with the other party. He lightly drew two fingers across the void.

Whoosh.

The next moment, the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace only felt that he had lost contact with the Yin-Yang Gourd in his hand. The imprint had been erased by someone without him noticing.

As for who it was, the answer was self-evident. While his heart was shaking, he clenched his large hand tightly, wanting to grasp the Yin-Yang Gourd.

But just as he was about to grasp the Yin-Yang Gourd, the latter mysteriously vanished.

He subconsciously looked up, only to see that the vanished Primordial Treasure had appeared in front of Lin Yan.

Then, the other party grabbed it in his hand, constantly examining it. At this moment, his already extremely chaotic state of mind finally showed signs of complete collapse.

These successive blows made it difficult for even a supreme being like him, who had lived for countless years, to accept, especially the loss of the Primordial Treasure, which almost drove him mad.

This sudden change also left everyone in the arena stunned. They hadn't detected the slightest spatial fluctuation, yet the Primordial Treasure, originally in the hands of the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace, had vanished and appeared in Lin Yan's hand.

"Now, do you still want to continue fighting?"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow. If the other party still wanted to resist stubbornly and struggle in vain, he wouldn't mind fulfilling their wish.

The Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace remained silent. Although his heart was surging like a tempest, he hadn't completely lost his reason. He understood that without the Primordial Treasure, he couldn't be an opponent for the person in front of him.

Then, he revealed a somewhat bitter smile and whispered, "You won this time, but that doesn't mean we lost!"

This sentence seemed to have another meaning. The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court and the middle-aged man from the Imperial Court of the Central Immortal Domain also became solemn.

However, Lin Yan didn't care about the hidden meaning in the other party's tone and continued, "I suppose the wager still stands, right?"

"Haha, of course it stands. Since I promised you, how could I easily go back on my word!"

The Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace, truly a top-tier figure in the world, quickly adjusted his state of mind and responded in a deep voice.

As he spoke, a hint of arrogance emanated from him. Clearly, his personality was also exceptionally proud. Even though his actions were domineering, he still kept his promises and had his own bottom line.

But while he agreed, the Vice Palace Lord of Vermilion Bird Palace beside him grew anxious, even speaking out to stop him:

"Palace Lord, no! This item was personally requested by the Lord. How can it fall into someone else's hands?"

"Hmm?"

"Are you questioning my decision?"

Upon hearing this, the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace's eyes flashed with cold light, staring intently at the agitated Vice Palace Lord.

As if feeling the chilling killing intent, the latter finally came to his senses, lowering his head and not daring to answer.

Seeing the other party's actions, Lin Yan also nodded secretly. Regardless of the other party's style of conduct, the mere fact that he kept his promises was enough for him to hold him in high regard.

But an enemy was an enemy after all, so he wouldn't just let the other party leave.

He glanced at the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court and the middle-aged man in the distance, and an idea immediately formed.

As he was pondering, the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace exhaled a turbid breath and said to Lin Yan:

"The fragments are in my Vermilion Bird Palace. I imagine with your methods, finding them won't be difficult. Therefore, I have fulfilled my promise to you."

"I know your intentions. My Vermilion Bird Palace has lost today, but if you want me to surrender, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"

A smile appeared on the handsome face of the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace. Then, he, along with the many powerful experts of the Vermilion Bird Palace, suddenly burst into blazing flames. Their bodies gradually dematerialized, showing signs of completely disappearing.

"Not good, they're trying to escape!"

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court and the middle-aged man's expressions changed drastically. They were about to intervene, but no matter how they tried, they couldn't affect them in the slightest. They could only watch as the other party slowly vanished before their eyes.

But a voice lingered, echoing continuously throughout this heaven and earth.

"This Palace Lord still stands by his words: this is the general trend. You, and the so-called Imperial Court of the Central Immortal Domain, will either be annihilated or submit!"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court and the middle-aged man both had unpleasant expressions, and they all turned their gazes towards Lin Yan, whose eyes were profound.

In fact, when the other party uttered the words about surrendering, the latter had already anticipated this scene.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stop them, but even if he intervened, he couldn't change the outcome.

Because the divine soul origins of these so-called Vermilion Bird Palace experts were not within their bodies, but in a very distant location—there, it seemed to be the center of the Immortal Realm, the Central Immortal Domain!

If his guess was correct, only the power behind them could possess such a unique method.

A glimpse into the tube reveals the whole leopard. How powerful must a force be to possess such a method?

As long as their divine soul origin was not extinguished, even if their physical bodies were destroyed, they would not directly perish.

He also wondered what method the other party had used to allow their current bodies to possess equally powerful divine souls.

This kind of method was equivalent to giving them a chance to revive. Although there must be many restrictions and costs, it was enough to drive countless people mad.

Only those beings who had once dominated and ruled the entire Immortal Realm could possess such heaven-defdefying methods and foundations!

With the disappearance of the Vermilion Bird Palace A group of people, the tense and oppressive atmosphere throughout the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace finally quietly eased.
