502: Defeat, the Transformation of the Lord of the Silent Court

Under everyone's gaze, that terrifying sword energy instantly formed a massive sword array that enveloped the entire depths of Beyond the Heavens.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

From the void where Lin Yan stood, profound and intricate array patterns were imprinted within it. The next moment, countless blood-red giant swords shot into the sky, indiscriminately obliterating everything within the sword array.

The torrent formed by countless giant swords emitted a destructive fluctuation. Even the Destroyer Halberd wielded by the Emperor Lord seemed insignificant under this aura.

Clang, clang, clang.

The torrent of sword energy seemed to possess its own consciousness, carrying a sky full of blood-red sword energy and fiercely washing over the dark coffin and the dark golden halberd blade.

However, these two attacks were, after all, unleashed with full power by the two hegemons of the Immortal Realm. Facing the impact, they showed no weakness, and the two began a fierce clash.

For a moment, everyone felt as if the entire Beyond the Heavens echoed with the sound of metal clashing, like thunder booming from the Nine Heavens.

The crowd stared blankly at this horrifying scene, momentarily at a loss for words to express the surging emotions in their hearts.

This level of battle had completely exceeded the scope of their comprehension, and the terrifying energy contained within it was so immense that they might not even be able to withstand a single ripple.

They could only stare intently at the somewhat blurred confrontation between the two sides, for this also concerned their fate.

"Damn it, how can he be so strong!"

While protecting himself, the Lord of Silent Extinction Court dared not let the spiritual energy within his body pause for even a moment, otherwise, he would undoubtedly be instantly crushed by that blood-red torrent.

His heart was also extremely unsettled. He had not held back with this move, unleashing ten-tenths of his power, yet even so, it was still so difficult.

He felt a strong sense of threat from this sword array that enveloped him and the Emperor Lord.

If he couldn't escape, there was a possibility of severe injury, and even a slight risk of falling.

If even the Lord of Silent Extinction Court felt this way, let alone the Emperor Lord, who was slightly weaker. His expression was somewhat ferocious, no longer calm.

He had never expected an ant he thought he could casually crush to instantly transform into a giant dragon from the Nine Heavens.

He unleashed all the spiritual energy within his body without reservation, and the hand holding the battle halberd trembled slightly, showing that he had already given his all.

The halberd blade and the coffin, which lay between the three, were still constantly resisting and trying to break free from the obstruction of the torrent, attempting to attack the black-clad youth standing at a corner of the sword array.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break through the torrent, which was like a quagmire, and even maintaining their resistance was extremely difficult.

This stalemate, after lasting for dozens of breaths, finally showed a different change. The chaotic energy around the coffin began to weaken, and as for the halberd blade, it had become extremely dim.

Crack.

Finally, the halberd blade shattered, and the ancient runes on the coffin fell silent. The Lord of Silent Extinction Court and the Emperor Lord, as their controllers, were both sent flying backward, looking very disheveled.

Especially the latter, traces of blood had even overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his aura was in disarray.

But they weren't given much time to react; the torrent of sword energy that had defeated the coffin and the halberd blade swept towards them overwhelmingly.

"Fellow Daoist, let us work together to block it!"

The Lord of Silent Extinction Court also showed a look of surprise, shouting in a low voice. Rather than resisting alone, it was better to unite; perhaps they could endure it together.

He did not believe that a sword array of such power could be sustained indefinitely; it must have a limit.

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor Lord's expression also changed. The two stood together and jointly cast a protective barrier.

Clang, clang, clang.

The moment they had just cast it, the torrent of sword energy immediately followed, violently crashing against the barrier, emitting crisp sounds.

Their expressions were incomparably complex, completely devoid of the high spirits and arrogance they had displayed upon their arrival. A hint of humiliation flashed in their eyes.

As former and current hegemons of the Immortal Realm, when had they ever encountered such a situation, where they even needed to join forces to resist a continuous onslaught of attacks?

Lin Yan watched the two silently. It was time for this to end. The most important thing was to listen to their previous conversation.

The Lord of Silent Extinction Court seemed to know a lot about the origin of the bronze fragment. Perhaps he could learn some answers from him.

A light flashed in his dark, deep eyes, like a meteor streaking across the night, fleeting in an instant.

But the moment the light flashed, the power of the sword array rapidly increased, and the torrent of sword energy became even more solid and violent.

"This is impossible!"

The eyes of the Lord of Silent Extinction Court and the Emperor Lord could no longer hold back a hint of terror, and they roared.

Crack.

The barrier shattered, and the torrent of sword energy pierced through their bodies, then slowly dissipated.

The sword array also quietly disintegrated at this moment, revealing their bodies, which had been pierced by countless sword energies.

Puff!

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from their mouths, and they staggered, their bodies covered in bloody holes where sword energy had pierced through.

However, at the cultivation level of the Lord of Silent Extinction Court and the Emperor Lord, the level of their lives had reached an unimaginable state. Even if they suffered fatal injuries, they would not perish so easily.

Therefore, their bodies instantly recovered, but their once powerful auras became particularly weak, clearly indicating they were no longer able to fight.

"You... who exactly are you?"

The Lord of Silent Extinction Court knew that he and the Emperor Lord had been utterly defeated. Therefore, he stared intently at Lin Yan, asking in a somewhat weak voice.

"Who I am, you need not know, but I have questions for you!"

Lin Yan's gaze carried a hint of curiosity as he continued, "What exactly is this bronze fragment, and what do you intend to do with it?"

"Heh heh, do you think I'll tell you?"

The Lord of Silent Extinction Court took a deep breath, an expression of facing death unflinchingly, unwilling to compromise.

"You should know, I am not negotiating with you. If you are unwilling to speak, I can very well take action myself!"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat displeased with the former's behavior. Even if the other party didn't speak, he could simply take a little more effort and directly search his soul.

Thus, his aura firmly locked onto the other party, and an incomparably heavy pressure emanated from his body.

Click, click, click.

A sound of bones and joints rubbing echoed. The Lord of Silent Extinction Court felt as if an ancient divine mountain was pressing down on him, and his knees couldn't help but bend.

You!

He looked at the calm expression in the other party's eyes and inexplicably felt a chill surge through his heart, finally realizing his current predicament.

So he lifted his increasingly pale face and gritted his teeth, "I can tell you, but I have one condition."

But no sooner had he finished speaking than he was sent flying by a terrifying force, leaving a deep trace in the void, and only stabilizing himself after flying thousands of feet backward.

His already weakened aura plummeted to rock bottom at this moment, seemingly on the verge of completely losing the will to resist if he suffered another heavy blow.

"I think you haven't recognized your situation yet. I am not negotiating with you. If you remain obstinate, I don't mind sending you on your way!"

Lin Yan's faint voice rang out, sending shivers down countless people's spines, especially the Lord of Silent Extinction Court, who couldn't help but tremble. Only at this moment did he truly realize.

He no longer had the right to negotiate. The other party was not someone to be trifled with. If he still refused to yield, today, he might truly perish.

Immediately, his expression changed several times, and finally, under everyone's astonished gaze, he slowly lowered his head.

The scene instantly became silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard!
