158: Eradicate Shadow Killing Tower, three days' notice

Lin Dao's gaze fell upon the four Quasi-Emperors, calm and undisturbed, yet it made the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor and the three Quasi-Emperor Shadow Figures feel as if their Divine Souls were about to freeze.

"Who gave you the audacity?"

Before his voice faded, Lin Dao moved.

He did not use any flashy Divine Ability; he simply took a step, and his figure appeared like a phantom before the Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven Death Qi Quasi-Emperor.

The Death Qi Quasi-Emperor's pupils shrank suddenly. He frantically circulated his Death Qi, pointing out the Nine Nether Yellow Springs Finger once more, while simultaneously retreating rapidly, trying to create distance.

However, Lin Dao merely extended his right hand, spreading his five fingers, and gently clenched his fist toward the approaching finger light and the rapidly retreating Death Qi Quasi-Emperor.

Crack!

The Nine Nether Yellow Springs Finger light, which was powerful enough to kill a Quasi-Emperor in the Middle Stage, shattered inch by inch like fragile glass the instant Lin Dao's fingers closed!

Immediately afterward, the space around the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor suddenly solidified. His rapidly retreating figure froze rigidly mid-air, as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand!

"No..." Extreme terror erupted in the Death Qi Quasi-Emperor's eyes. He felt his Dao Fruit, Divine Soul, and Physical Body all wailing under this single grip, on the verge of collapsing!

Lin Dao exerted force with his five fingers.

Poof!

It was like crushing a bladder filled with water.

The Death Qi Quasi-Emperor couldn't even let out a scream. His entire body, along with his Divine Soul, turned into dust under Lin Dao's casual grip. The dense Death Qi was instantly purified and devoured by the Chaos Qi flow, vanishing into nothingness.

A powerhouse at the Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven was thus destroyed, body and spirit!

The remaining three Quasi-Emperor Shadow Figures were utterly terrified, their gallbladders splitting!

How could they dare to stay? They turned around, attempting to tear space and flee.

"Can you escape?"

Lin Dao's voice sounded behind them, like the demonic sound of fate claiming souls.

He pressed his fingers together like a sword, and pointed out three consecutive strikes toward the direction the three were fleeing.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three faint Chaos Sword Qi strikes arrived later but reached first, ignoring spatial distance and accurately piercing the backs of the three Quasi-Emperor Shadow Figures.

The bodies of the three Quasi-Emperor Shadow Figures suddenly stiffened, and their forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

They lowered their heads, staring at the rapidly expanding Chaos-colored void in their chests, their eyes filled with despair and disbelief.

Their life force and Dao Principles were being frantically eroded and disintegrated by the Chaos Sword Qi!

"Soul Search."

With a thought from Lin Dao, the three Chaos Sword Qi strikes instantly exploded, transforming into countless tiny runes that drilled into the Quasi-Emperors' dissipating Divine Souls, forcibly extracting their memory fragments.

Moments later, the three Quasi-Emperor Shadow Figures completely turned into ashes, vanishing between heaven and earth.

Lin Dao stood rooted to the spot, closing his eyes to digest the information obtained from the Soul Search.

His expression grew colder and colder.

"Shadow Kill Tower... Heavenly God Palace... Dao Yi Holy Land..." He muttered these names, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

"Good, very good.

They dared to scheme against my Lin Family."

It turned out that the true target of this operation against the Blood God Sect was not the Blood God Sect itself, but to use Blood Exquisite as bait to lure Ye Chen here, intending to eliminate him and clip the Lin Family's wings.

They just hadn't expected Ye Chen's plea for help to draw so many Lin Family Prodigies, nor had they expected Lin Dao to arrive so quickly with such terrifying strength!

The Shadow Kill Tower was the executor, while the masterminds behind it were the Immortal Powers, the Heavenly God Palace and the Dao Yi Holy Land!

Lin Dao opened his eyes and glanced at the Lin Family members and Blood God Sect Disciples below, who were still shaken but mostly unharmed.

He waved his sleeve, and a gentle stream of Chaos Qi enveloped Lin Hao, Ye Chen, and all the other Lin Family juniors.

"I will send you back to heal first."

Spatial fluctuations occurred, and the figures of Lin Hao and the others instantly vanished from the spot, having been sent directly back to the Lin Familys Small World.

Afterward, Lin Dao nodded slightly to Blood Slaughterer: "Sect Master Xue, since the matter here is settled, the Lin Family owes you a favor."

Blood Slaughterer quickly cupped his hands: "Fellow Daoist Lin, you overstate the matter. It is I who should thank the Lin Family for their timely assistance!"

Lin Dao said no more, took a step, and his figure disappeared beyond the broken Heaven Locking Grand Formation.

The headquarters of the Shadow Kill Tower was located in a dark, deathly silent world hidden within a Dimensional Rift.

This place saw no daylight year-round, only countless assassins and killers moving like ghosts.

Today, this deathly silence was forcibly broken.

Lin Dao's figure appeared without warning above the Shadow Kill Tower headquarters.

He did not conceal his aura; the vast Imperial Might descended like the collapse of the heavens, instantly alarming the entire Shadow Kill Tower!

"Enemy attack!"

"Who is it?!"

Countless powerful auras rose from all directions, including Saints, Saint Kings, and even two auras belonging to the Early Stage of Quasi-Emperor!

"Lin Dao is here. Shadow Kill Tower, you shall be destroyed."

Lin Dao's voice was cold, spreading throughout the deathly silent world.

He had no intention of wasting words on these killers. He simply raised his right hand and pressed down with a palm toward the vast and gloomy complex of palaces below.

A colossal Chaos hand appeared out of thin air, covering the entire Shadow Kill Tower headquarters. Its palm lines were clear like mountain ranges, containing terrifying power capable of crushing everything, and it slowly descended!

"Activate the Myriad Shadow God Slaying Formation!"

The Shadow Kill Tower's Tower Lord, an old man at the Quasi-Emperor Second Heaven, roared in shock and fury. He and the other Quasi-Emperor First Heaven Vice Tower Lord simultaneously activated the headquarters' grand Formation!

Countless black shadows rose from the ground, transforming into ferocious demonic god phantoms that roared as they rushed toward the colossal Chaos hand. Moreover, countless poisoned hidden weapons and cursed lights poured out like a torrential rain!

However, all of this was futile before the colossal Chaos hand.

As the colossal hand pressed down, the myriad shadows shattered, the grand Formation wailed, and instantly cracked!

Before the hidden weapons and curses could even approach, they were ground into nothingness by the Chaos Qi!

Rumble—!!!

The entire Shadow Kill Tower headquarters, along with the countless killers, buildings, and Formations within, was utterly wiped away from the Dimensional Rift by this single palm strike, transforming into a void of unformed Chaos!

Only a few low-level assassins in the peripheral areas managed to escape, but they were terrified, their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, fleeing in all directions.

Just as the colossal hand descended, the Shadow Kill Tower Lord and Vice Tower Lord summoned a black short-dagger wreathed in endless killing intent. It was a quasi-emperor weapon—the Shadow Slaughter Spike!

The short-dagger erupted with monstrous black light, attempting to tear apart the colossal Chaos hand.

Lin Dao didn't even look at the quasi-emperor weapon. The five fingers of his right hand, which had pressed down the colossal palm, spread open and directly grabbed toward the Shadow Slaughter Spike.

His palm clashed head-on with the quasi-emperor weapon!

Clang—!!!

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing echoed through the dimension!

The black light erupting from the Shadow Slaughter Spike instantly dimmed, as if it had encountered its nemesis.

Lin Dao closed his five fingers, forcefully seizing this infamous quasi-emperor weapon in his hand.

The Shadow Slaughter Spike trembled violently in his palm, letting out an unwilling wail, yet its sharp tip could not pierce his skin in the slightest.

Chaos Qi flowed in Lin Dao's palm, slowly rotating like a grinding stone.

Crackle... crackle... Under the desperate gaze of the two Quasi-Emperor Tower Lords, the indestructible quasi-emperor weapon, the Shadow Slaughter Spike, was actually ground down bit by bit by Lin Dao's bare hand!

It turned into countless black metal fragments, which were finally completely swallowed and refined by the Chaos Qi flow!

The two Quasi-Emperor Tower Lords suffered backlash, simultaneously spitting out blood, their auras weakened.

Lin Dao gave them no chance. He flicked his finger, and two streaks of Chaos Sword Qi swept past, sending these two highest Dominators of the Shadow Kill Tower into oblivion as well.

Thus, the Shadow Kill Tower, an ancient dark organization with a long Legacy, had its headquarters razed to the ground, its high-ranking members completely annihilated, existing only in name!

Having done all this, Lin Dao hovered above the newly formed void, his gaze seemingly penetrating endless dimensions, landing upon the two vast Territories in the distance—the locations of the Heavenly God Palace and the Dao Yi Holy Land.

His voice, like a decree from the Nine Heavens, clearly resonated within the minds of all powerhouses in the Primal Ancient Realm who had reached a certain level:

"Heavenly God Palace, Dao Yi Holy Land. Within three days, bring heavy gifts and personally come to the Lin Family to apologize."

"If you fail to arrive by the deadline, the Shadow Kill Tower will serve as your warning."

As his voice fell, Lin Dao took a single step, and his figure disappeared.
