170: The power of origin

This furious roar came as a complete surprise to everyone.

The Western God Emperor said in disbelief, “Impossible, how are you not dead?”

Lin Mu, clad in white robes, floated in mid-air.

It was as if that last attack hadn't harmed him in the slightest.

“Dead? If it weren't for the fact that the phantom image still had some use…“

“This Young Master could have easily destroyed it.”

When he collided with the phantom image just now…

Lin Mu became even more certain that this phantom image contained Primal God Power.

Therefore, he didn't smash it with his fist.

Instead, he used his Physical Body to directly withstand the phantom image's seal.

The Primal God Power within that seal, after entering Lin Mu's body…

Not only did it not damage Lin Mu's body, but it thoroughly activated Lin Mu's Primal God Legacy.

And Lin Mu, in this short period of time, had already mastered all of the Primal God's Legacy.

He also took the opportunity to decipher the secret of the dark green Jade Slip he had obtained from the Linglong Pagoda.

That Jade Slip was once a Divine Artifact that an ancient God Emperor had accidentally acquired.

He relied on it to sweep across the Divine Realm, achieving the status of an unrivaled God Emperor.

However, it also attracted the covetous gazes of the extraterrestrial Primal Gods and the Evil Demon clan.

The two races fought fiercely in the Divine Realm to contend for the Jade Slip.

In the end, both suffered heavy losses.

The Jade Slip also disappeared during that great battle.

Unexpectedly, the Jade Slip was actually in this Linglong Pagoda.

Lin Mu was about to refine this Jade Slip when…

He heard the Northern God Emperor's words.

Therefore, he could only abandon that plan for now.

Because he had promised Yang Lin that he would personally kill Jia Lan, he couldn't let him die at someone else's hands.

The Northern God Emperor saw Lin Mu return completely unharmed.

His illusory Divine Thought also trembled slightly.

Clearly, he was somewhat wary of Lin Mu.

After all, this was not his true body.

If Lin Mu caused trouble, he wasn't truly confident he could take him down.

“Young man, you are very impressive. This Emperor thinks highly of you.”

“After today, you will be a friend of my Liu Yang Family.”

“Let this Emperor first deal with this scoundrel, to avoid any further complications.”

The Northern God Emperor believed he had given Lin Mu enough Face.

Just as he was about to strike at Jia Lan again…

Lin Mu's voice rang out once more: “Was I not clear enough?”

“His life belongs to me.”

“Anyone else who dares to make a move will die with him.”

Lin Mu's words were incredibly arrogant.

He showed no Face to the Northern God Emperor whatsoever.

The leader of the Northern God Emperor's chief sword-wielders…

At this moment, turned his sword and pointed it at Lin Mu.

“Presumptuous! How dare you disrespect the God Emperor! You're courting death!”

Saying this, he was about to attack Lin Mu.

At this moment, the Northern God Emperor suddenly spoke.

“Stop. Since this young brother wishes to act personally…“

“This Emperor is happy to be at leisure.”

He paused, then continued: “A-Si, step aside and stand by for this young brother.”

That chief sword-wielder, hearing the Northern God Emperor speak thus…

Naturally, he dared not disobey.

He respectfully retreated to the side.

With a wave of his large hand, he said to Lin Mu, “Please.”

Lin Mu no longer wasted words.

His body slowly drifted towards the Western God Emperor.

At the same time, the phantom image of the Nine Nether Continent condensed in his hand.

As Lin Mu continuously poured Divine Power into the phantom image in his hand…

The phantom image emitted a faint yet terrifying aura.

Lin Mu looked at the phantom image of the Nine Nether Continent.

He said calmly, “The day you gave me this item, I will use it to avenge you.”

“From now on, we are even.”

Back then, Yang Lin brought him and Lao Mo to this place.

Although he had ulterior motives…

It must be said that without him, Lin Mu would not be where he is today.

Therefore, Lin Mu's actions today were a way of settling the past.

And to draw a full stop to his past and present lives.

Lin Mu held up the phantom image, then tossed it.

The phantom image flew towards the Western God Emperor, Jia Lan.

The Western God Emperor looked at this phantom image with a solemn expression.

There was an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

Although in his eyes, the phantom image was only the size of a palm…

As it drew closer…

He felt a strange illusion.

This phantom image actually grew larger and larger.

And the Divine Power contained within the phantom image was very unfamiliar.

Yet, there was also a sense of familiarity.

Just as the phantom image was about to approach him…

He suddenly remembered. Wasn't this Divine Power the same Divine Power as in his God Emperor phantom image?

He didn't understand how Lin Mu's casual strike could possess such Divine Power.

But now, he had no time to think further.

As the owner of the God Emperor phantom image, he was very clear about the terrifying nature of this Divine Power.

Thus, he glared at Lin Mu with hatred.

Finally, he made his last decision.

He placed his hands on the ground.

He shouted, “primordial source of the god realm, rise!”

As soon as his words fell…

Where his palms touched the ground, streaks of golden light shot up.

As the golden light became more numerous, its range also expanded.

Soon, the entire God Emperor Palace was enveloped in golden light.

Everyone watched this scene in horror, momentarily at a loss.

Suddenly, a Divine Lord exclaimed, “The Divine Power in my body is rapidly draining away!”

With that, he decisively sat cross-legged.

His hands continuously changed hand seals, trying to stop the Divine Power from draining.

However, the next second, he discovered in terror…

No matter what methods he used, he couldn't stop it.

Seeing this, everyone else also felt something amiss.

The Divine Power in their bodies was also quietly draining away.

For a moment, everyone tried every possible method to stop the Divine Power from draining.

But apparently, their actions were also futile.

Even those Quasi-Emperor Experts were no exception.

However, they were Quasi-Emperor Experts after all.

Seeing this situation, they immediately flew off, wanting to escape this place.

However, as soon as they flew out of the golden light's range…

Their bodies unexpectedly exploded uncontrollably.

Only their Divine Souls let out a wail and escaped.

Everyone was scared to the point of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering by this scene.

A mighty Quasi-Emperor Expert was actually forced to have his Physical Body explode.

Although even if their Physical Body was destroyed, they could rely on their powerful Divine Soul to Cultivate a new body again.

But that would take thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

During that period, if any enemies found them, they would still not escape death.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, no one would abandon their Physical Body.

The Western God Emperor looked at the expressions of the crowd.

He laughed with satisfaction and said, “Haha, did you really think this Emperor didn't know you would sneak in to take advantage of the situation?”

“This is the final gift this Emperor has prepared for you.”

“Everyone present today must die.”

The last three words, the Western God Emperor said through gritted teeth.

After all, this primordial source of the god realm was the culmination of his life's work.

It was his final reliance to dominate the Divine Realm.

Such a great undertaking unfinished, yet wasted here for nothing.

He couldn't help but hate.

He hated the Northern God Emperor, but he hated Lin Mu even more.

His eyes bloodshot, he looked at Lin Mu.

His hands controlled the golden light, sending it towards Lin Mu.

The speed of the golden light was so fast that even Divine Lords couldn't track it.

In an instant, it drilled into Lin Mu's body.

Seeing this, the Western God Emperor laughed wildly.

“Explode and die for me!”

This primordial source of the god realm was the Origin Power from when the Divine Realm first formed.

The Divine Power of the Divine Realm now all originated from this Origin Power.

This Origin Power usually hid in the void.

Only when a Divine Lord made a Breakthrough to become a God Emperor would a trace of Origin Power be injected into his body.

To help the newly promoted God Emperor condense his Divine Body.

However, although this Origin Power could help a God Emperor condense his Divine Body…

It was incredibly overbearing.

If it appeared in large quantities, it would drain all the surrounding Divine Power.

If a large amount was absorbed into the body…

Even a God Emperor would explode and die.

And now, the Origin Power that Lin Mu had absorbed was enough to kill him hundreds of times over.
