555: The Peril of Emperor Yu

The newcomer was none other than Di Lingxiao!

With a single step, he appeared in the center of the battlefield from dozens of yards away.

The dragon fall spear pointed diagonally at the ground, its tip still spitting out waves of scorching heat.

His eyes were like lightning as they swept over the five people from the Profound Talisman Heaven-Reaching Sect, finally settling on the leader at the eighth level of the Profound Venerable Realm with undisguised contempt.

"Bullying with numbers... is the face of your Profound Talisman Heaven-Reaching Sect pasted together with Talisman paper?"

Di Lingxiao's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears, carrying bone-chilling mockery.

"Godfall Di Clan, Di Lingxiao?" The leading Prodigy of the Profound Talisman Heaven-Reaching Sect, named Fu Tianli, saw his expression instantly turn as dark as water.

The news of the Di Clan distributing the netherworld records had already spread. The reputation of the Godfall Di Clan—especially the terrifying power of their Clan Chief, Di Shenglong, who had suppressed the Law Enforcement Hall's Sun King with one hand and crushed Xuan Jun and Chenyao to death—had already caused massive waves among the top powers of the Eastern Region.

The person before them was exactly one of the seven Godfall Di Clan Prodigies mentioned in the intelligence, Di Lingxiao, who was famous for his domineering spear techniques!

Fu Tianli's eyes flickered as a flash of wariness passed through them, but it was immediately replaced by deeper irritation.

To be publicly berated by a junior at the Seventh Level of the Law Realm—if he backed down now, where would his face and the face of the Profound Talisman Heaven-Reaching Sect go?

"Di Lingxiao! This is a private grudge between my Profound Talisman Heaven-Reaching Sect and the Tianxu Di Clan. What does it have to do with your Godfall Di Clan? Back off immediately, or don't blame me for using my seniority to bully the young!"

Fu Tianli shouted, his voice harsh but lacking true confidence.

The four Profound Talisman Disciples behind him also grew tense, forming hand seals one after another. Various colored Talisman lights shone as they formed a defensive formation.

"Bullying the young? Didn't you all do that quite handily just now?"

The corner of Di Lingxiao's mouth curled into a wild arc, his eyes boiling with Battle Intent. "Now, it's my turn to use the weak to suppress the strong!"

Before his voice finished echoing, his figure suddenly blurred, leaving a faint afterimage in place as his true body shot out like a cannonball!

"Army Breaker: City Destroyer!"

The dragon fall spear let out an excited hum, the light on its shaft exploding as a domineering aura of slaughter erupted!

The spear struck like a Dragon. Without any fancy tricks, it was the simplest, most direct, and most violent thrust! The target was aimed straight at Fu Tianli!

The air was compressed, letting out a sharp sonic boom.

In front of the spear tip, space faintly distorted, forming a visible cone-shaped vapor cloud!

This thrust combined power and speed to the extreme, carrying a will that moved forward without hesitation to destroy everything!

Fu Tianli's pupils shrank as alarm bells rang wildly in his heart.

How did the power of this spear look anything like the Law Realm? It was practically comparable to the full-strength strike of a high-stage Profound Venerable!

He didn't dare to be careless, his hands rapidly forming seals. Seven giant shields condensed from thick, earthy-yellow Talismans instantly appeared before him. Layered upon each other with flowing runes, they emitted an indestructible, heavy aura—Profound Talisman: Seven-Fold Mountain Shield!

At the same time, he barked an order: "Form the array and trap him!"

The other four Profound Talisman Disciples reacted extremely quickly, their Talismans shooting out as streaks of light.

Four silver-white runic chains, like venomous snakes, coiled toward Di Lingxiao's joints from four tricky angles. The runes on the chains flashed with powerful binding force—the same method they had used to trap Di Yu earlier!

"Brother Lingxiao, be careful!" Di Yu cried out.

Di Lingxiao didn't even look at those four chains. The Undying Battle Body inside him roared to life, and his vast blood-qi surged.

His momentum didn't slow; the dragon fall spear's thrust became even faster!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Four crisp sounds of metal clashing rang out almost simultaneously.

The four runic chains, capable of binding an ordinary Profound Venerable, lashed hard against Di Lingxiao's wrists and ankles, but it was as if they had struck divine metal!

Di Lingxiao's figure only paused slightly; his speed was almost unaffected!

"What?!" The four Profound Talisman Disciples were pale with horror.

By then, the dragon fall spear had already slammed into the outermost earthy-yellow shield!

Boom—!

The first giant shield exploded like it was made of paper, turning into a sky full of runic light fragments.

The second one, shattered!

The third one was covered in cracks before collapsing!

...It was like crushing dry weeds!

Wrapped in an unmatched spear momentum, Di Lingxiao's figure broke through everything in its path!

Fu Tianli's Seven-Fold Mountain Shield lasted less than a single breath under the dragon fall spear before six layers exploded in succession!

The violent spear energy pierced through the layers of obstruction, slamming hard into the center of the last and most solid giant shield!

Crack!

The final shield vibrated violently, its surface instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and the center was deeply indented, nearly pierced through by the spear tip!

The terrifying impact traveled through the shield. Fu Tianli groaned, his blood-qi churning as he retreated three steps to stabilize himself. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with unbelievable shock.

"What a terrifying Physical Body! What a domineering spear!"

In the watching crowd, a burly man carrying a massive war blade growled. He was Dragon War from the Dragon Suppression Heavenly Sect, who had just fought Di Shiyu not long ago. His eyes were currently burning with intensity.

The Prodigies from the Dao Seeking Academy, Wutong Lin Clan, and other top powers also looked grave. The strength of the Godfall Di Clan Prodigies exceeded their estimations.

A Seventh Level Law Realm holding his own against an eighth-stage Profound Venerable without falling behind!

"Just this little turtle shell?"

Di Lingxiao shook his spear, clearing away the shield fragments, his Battle Intent rising even higher.

"Take another strike from me! Army Breaker: Sea Splitter!"

He gave Fu Tianli no room to breathe as the dragon fall spear transitioned from a thrust to a sweep, carving out a half-moon spear arc!

Wherever the spear arc passed, it let out a roar like a tsunami, as if it truly intended to tear apart a vast ocean!

The range was so wide that it enveloped Fu Tianli and the four Disciples behind him!

"Arrogant!" Fu Tianli was both shocked and enraged. Being forced back by a Law Realm was already a great humiliation, and yet the opponent dared to actively expand the battle circle!

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He slammed his hands together and rapidly chanted profound incantations.

"Profound Talisman True Explanation: Myriad Law Seal!"

In the Void Realm above his head, a giant golden Talisman phantom emitting an ancient and vast aura suddenly appeared.

On the Talisman, countless tiny runes flowed like stars, emitting a terrifying aura that could suppress all laws!

This was one of the guardian Divine Abilities of the Profound Talisman Heaven-Reaching Sect—using a Talisman to manifest myriad laws and condensing those laws into a single seal!

Before the golden seal had even fully solidified, a pressure as heavy as a mountain enveloped the surroundings, causing the ground to crack inch by inch.

At the same time, the four Disciples also exerted their full strength, each sacrificing their strongest Talisman.

A blazing white lightning spear, a gust of bone-eroding dark wind, an ice prison, and a thorny poison vine—four distinctly different and powerful Talisman arts, coordinating with that slowly descending giant golden seal, blasted toward Di Lingxiao from different directions!

Facing this overwhelming and terrifying offensive, Di Lingxiao showed no fear. Instead, an even more intense flame ignited in his eyes.

The Undying Battle Body was pushed to its limit. The eerie black markings on his skin seemed to come alive, faintly forming the phantom of a roaring god of war.

His entire blood-qi boiled like a furnace, letting out a dull roar as his strength surged once again in an instant!

"Fight!"

With a violent shout, the Sea Splitter spear arc suddenly expanded. The spear arc swept across, carrying a will to destroy all things, as it slammed head-on into the four incoming Talisman arts!
