98: Annihilate the carefree with a flick of the finger

Almost at the same time, a grand, arrogant voice, containing the mana of a Peak Xiaoyao Realm expert, like rolling thunder, forcibly pierced through the barrier of the Lin Clan Small World, resounding in the ears of every Lin Clan disciple, and spreading throughout the entire Nine Provinces:

"Lin Dao! Get out here and die!"

The voice came from above the Central Province, filled with provocation and killing intent.

Immediately after, several more similarly powerful, distinct auras of Peak Xiaoyao Realm pressure erupted in the Central Province, unreservedly releasing hostility, merging with the first voice to form a massive pressure, pointing from afar toward the direction of the Lin Clan in the Azure Province.

"Lei Xiao of Zixiao Heaven, invites Fellow Daoist Lin to die!"

"Gu Ming of Nine Nether Mansion, has come to take your life!"

"Jin Lie of the Ancient God Heavenly Domain, has come specifically to challenge you!"

"Jian Wuhen of the Limitless Sword Sect, invites you to discuss life and death under the sword!"

... Voices rang out one after another, the names announced were all top experts of the Imperial Clans who shook their respective regions, and their cultivation bases were all uniformly at the Peak Xiaoyao Realm!

A rough count revealed there were as many as eight of them!

These eight auras of Peak Xiaoyao Realm experts combined, like eight ancient divine mountains pressing down on the sky of the Nine Provinces, causing countless Cultivators to tremble in their hearts, almost unable to breathe.

"Heavens! Eight Peak Xiaoyao Realm experts!"

"Zixiao Heaven, Nine Nether Mansion, Ancient God Heavenly Domain, Limitless Sword Sect... all top Imperial Clans!"

"They have actually joined forces! This is to completely strangle the Lin Clan!"

"Is it because of the news of the return of the ancient Imperial Clans that they have gained confidence?"

Voices of discussion rose everywhere in the Nine Provinces.

Inside the Lin Clan Small World, the atmosphere instantly tightened.

Acting Clan Head and the others' expressions changed drastically; eight Peak Xiaoyao Realm experts!

This was almost the top batch of combat power currently visible in the Nine Provinces!

The Seven Saint Sons instantly had their Battle Intent rise, their auras uncontrollably exploding, the pressure of the Dao Tribulation Realm shooting into the sky. Although it did not reach the Peak Xiaoyao Realm, the incredibly condensed quality and the contained immortal Dao rhyme made the Cultivators who sensed it from the outside turn their heads in surprise.

"Old Ancestor!"

Lin Hao looked at Lin Dao, his eyes sharp, his intention to fight obvious.

Lin Dao slowly stood up, his face devoid of any expression of surprise, as if he had long expected this to happen.

He patted the head of a little girl beside him who possessed the Ice Spirit Saint Body and had been frightened by the earlier voice, saying gently: "It is fine, just a few flies, you all continue your enlightenment."

He took a step, and his figure had already disappeared from the Secret Realm.

The next moment, he appeared at the edge of the Lin Clan Small World, looking calmly toward the Central Province through the purple-gold Luck light curtain.

He did not release any aura, but the moment he appeared, those eight terrifying pressures combined together seemed to hit an invisible wall and could no longer advance an inch.

"Lin Dao! You finally dare to come out!"

Lei Xiao of Zixiao Heaven's voice boomed, his body wreathed in purple lightning, like a Thunder God descending to the world, "If you are sensible, cripple your own cultivation, hand over all the Legacy of the Lin Clan, and perhaps we can leave you a whole corpse!"

Gu Ming of Nine Nether Mansion laughed sinisterly: "Otherwise, when we break through your turtle shell, we will definitely leave no one in your Lin Clan alive!"

Eight against one, and all were at the Peak Xiaoyao Realm; they did not believe Lin Dao could stir up any trouble.

As for the rumors that Lin Dao might have surpassed the Xiaoyao Realm, they were more inclined to believe that it was the effect of some Secret Ability or Magic Treasure, which could absolutely not last long.

After all, the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces were right there.

Lin Dao looked at them as if looking at a group of monkeys jumping around, his tone without any waves: "Just relying on you few motley fools?"

"Arrogant!" "You seek death!"

The eight Peak Xiaoyao Realm experts were furious and stopped talking nonsense, attacking simultaneously!

Lei Xiao invoked the divine thunder of the Nine Heavens, transforming it into a ten-thousand-foot-long thunder Dragon that pounced down!

Gu Ming sacrificed a white bone banner, and billions of resentful souls roared as they rushed out!

Jin Lie manifested as a thousand-foot golden giant, smashing the Void Realm with one punch!

Jian Wuhen merged with his sword, and a brilliant sword aura that tore through heaven and earth slashed down!

... Eight distinct, yet all reaching the extreme of the Xiaoyao Realm, Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures converged into a destructive torrent, crashing down toward the Lin Clan Small World and toward Lin Dao!

This strike was enough to instantly evaporate several large worlds like the Nine Provinces!

Countless Cultivators in the Nine Provinces were horrified, as if they saw the apocalypse descending.

Facing this world-destroying attack, Lin Dao merely raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and toward the surging destructive torrent, gently clenched his fist.

That terrifying attack capable of annihilating galaxies, while still a hundred miles away from the light curtain of the Lin Clan Small World, stopped abruptly in an instant, frozen in mid-air.

Then, the moment Lin Dao's five fingers closed. Pop! It was like crushing a bubble.

That destructive torrent launched by the eight Peak Xiaoyao Realm experts combined, which was enough to make any peer despair, was thus silently and completely annihilated.

Above the Central Province, Lei Xiao, Gu Ming, Jin Lie, Jian Wuhen, and the other eight Peak Xiaoyao Realm experts had their sneers and killing intent instantly freeze on their faces, replaced by shock and bewilderment.

Their full-power strike, just like that... gone? It didn't even stir up a ripple? How is this possible?!

However, before they could recover from this extreme shock, Lin Dao's calm voice rang out again, but it was like the declaration of a grim reaper, clearly entering the ears of every one of them:

"Disturbing my peace is the first crime." "Threatening my clan is the second crime." "Attacking me is the third crime." "For all these crimes combined, you shall be executed."

The moment his voice fell, Lin Dao flicked his finger across the air toward the Central Province.

The eight Peak Xiaoyao Realm experts far away above the Central Province felt their bodies tremble simultaneously!

Immediately after, under the gaze of countless terrified eyes, the bodies of these eight experts standing at the Peak of the Nine Provinces, like sand sculptures dried by the wind, began to disintegrate inch by inch from their fingertips, scattering with the wind.

Their Divine Souls, their Dao Fruits, and every trace of their existence were completely erased in this flick of a finger.

Eight Peak Xiaoyao Realm experts, fallen!

The whole process was terrifyingly quiet. Not until those eight people completely disappeared and the sky above the Central Province returned to clarity, did all the living beings who witnessed this scene seem to wake up from a nightmare, erupting with uncontrollable fear and an uproar!

Extinguishing eight Xiaoyao Realm experts with a flick of a finger! What kind of Divine Ability is this?! This has completely exceeded their scope of understanding!

Lin Dao withdrew his finger, as if he had just flicked away a speck of dust.

His gaze swept across the Void Realm of the Nine Provinces, and those Divine Thoughts hidden in the darkness observing instantly retreated like a receding tide, not daring to linger for even a moment longer.

"Who else wants to try?"

His voice was not loud, but it clearly echoed in the heart of every Cultivator, carrying supreme majesty and coldness.

Lin Dao obliterated eight Peak Xiaoyao Realm experts in the flick of a finger, and the entire Nine Provinces fell into dead silence, with all the Divine Thoughts secretly spying retreating in a panic.

However, just as this dead silence had not lasted for a moment — "Crack!" A sound of shattering, extremely faint yet clearly transmitted into the perception of all high-level Cultivators, came from above the Nine Heavens.
