A seventh realm Emperor, even if considered weak, would still be an existence that billions of people could only look up to in the world. Now, in the blink of an eye, one such Emperor was swallowed by the golden lake and vanished without a trace. The scene was so chilling that even Lin Xun couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down his spine. “This star source belongs to me! Ling Xuanzi, if you don’t want to die, get lost now!” In an instant, the golden spear erupted with monstrous destructive power, colliding repeatedly with the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and producing deafening roars. “Huh?” Lin Xun’s expression shifted ever so slightly. His grab was so powerful that even a Ninth Realm Ancestor would need to exert all their strength to counter it. Despite that, the golden spear easily neutralized it! This world plunged into unprecedented chaos. Dao arts clashed in a frenzy with searing rays of light exploding outward. The sun and moon lost their brilliance, and the heavens and the earth seemed to dim. It was a scene of unparalleled intensity. The oppressive might surging across the sky and earth alone made Huo Yunge’s heart turn cold. Without hesitation, he retreated, unwilling to confront the combined assault head-on. His aura grew turbulent, his expression twisted and ferocious. “It’s not over yet. Once he subdues it, if we work together, we might still have a chance to snatch it away.” Before long, with a series of earth-shaking booms, the golden spear was firmly suppressed. The golden light bursting from it was crushed inch by inch, accompanied by a piercing buzzing sound. He turned abruptly, his gaze cold as lightning, locking onto Huo Yunge in the distance. A tidal wave of murderous intent swept across heavens and earth. Then, under the terrified gazes of all present, the golden lake began to condense, rapidly shrinkIng. In a few breaths, the vast lake, stretching ten thousand feet in diameter, collapsed into a brilliant and dazzling golden spear! “Damn it! Is that star source really going to fall into that guy’s hands?” As if Lin Xun had eyes on the back of his head, he casually reached out without turning around and grabbed the attack with a bang, causing it to explode into a fine rain of light that scattered into the air. “Get lost!” Huo Yunge bellowed. His figure blazed like a raging torrent of fire, shrouded in wild, searing light. With a roar, he opened his mouth and spewed forth a sea of ​​fire that swept across the heavens and earth, surging wildly toward Lin Xun. Huo Yunge’s face turned ashen. Though he didn’t move, a flicker of fear flashed in his eyes. More experts were arriving. His hair was disheveled, his body battered and broken, and blood flowing freely. It was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries in the exchange! The atmosphere fell into heavy silence. Strange emotions stirred in the hearts of the gathered cultivators. The more furious and crazed Huo Yunge became, the more it seemed to expose his helplessness and powerlessness... What was most terrifying was that the spear seemed to be forming numerous golden figures like a shower of golden rain. These figures danced and pranced around the air, a surreal and unsettling spectacle. In the distance, five figures rushed over. It was five dao bodies, each emanating an aura no weaker than Lin Xun’s true body. It was as if five Lin Xuns were attacking together with full force. “You’d better pray you don’t cross paths with me again,” Lin Xun said coldly. With a flick of his sleeves, he withdrew his five dao bodies and vanished from the spot like a ghost. Watching his figure disappear into the horizon, no one dared to give chase. Huo Yunge was sent hurtling backward across the battlefield, crashing heavily into the ground. Before he could even steady himself, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. It was clear to all that if Lin Xun failed to defend against this attack, he would suffer grave injuries. However, if he diverted his focus to defend, all his prior efforts to suppress the golden spear would be wasted. He might lose the treasure to someone else. When the crowd saw Huo Yunge withdraw, they were stunned. Just moments ago, he had been domineering and unmatched, displaying the overwhelming majesty of an eighth realm supreme Emperor, but now... Therefore, once he lost this opportunity, he would lose it forever. Behind him stood several people, each radiating formidable auras. Suddenly, the five dao bodies, Green Wood, Red Flame, White Metal, Black Water and Yellow Earth shot forth, each unleashing their full power the instant they appeared. The man was wreathed in blazing flames, striding like a divine demon. His eyes gleamed sharply like blades and his body exuded a monstrous, chilling killing intent that swept across the skies, ferocious and boundless. Lin Xun’s true body activated the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron and completely suppressed the golden spear, sealing it inside the cauldron. “Bastard! Next time, I’ll kill you! I swear it—!” Huo Yunge roared after him, his voice filled with rage and humiliation. “Star source transforming into a weapon, with the laws themselves imbued with spirit. This is a complete star source of the highest quality. The dao laws contained within are extraordinary!” Someone exclaimed, gasping. Their eyes grew red, as though they had just witnessed a goddess revealing her perfect, flawless figure. Before this, who would have imagined such an outcome? He hailed from the Celestial Mystic Starfield, ranked second among the Great Thousand Worlds. He was an eighth realm supreme Emperor from the Celestial Mystic Dao Mountain, and it was said his true form was a fire qilin. His foundation and cultivation were both abnormally powerful and tyrannical. “He...” The watching crowd was utterly stunned, unable to believe what they had just witnessed. A star source that could evolve into a weapon and possess spiritual intelligence was almost unheard of. It was a treasure beyond compare, a once-in-a-lifetime find! If one could obtain it, it would be a stroke of immense fortune! If they were swept into it, the consequences were unthinkable. To everyone’s surprise, Lin Xun neither dodged nor turned around. He suddenly radiated dazzling light, and a vast abyss emerged around him, unleashing a dark and obscure force that engulfed the world. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Suddenly, a beam of crimson light erupted from thin air, hurtling toward the back of Lin Xun’s head with a speed faster than lightning, carrying a terrifying piercing force and an overwhelming momentum. Huo Yunge’s strength was formidable. The flames he commanded surged with boundless incinerating power. If Lin Xun hadn’t mobilized the full force of his cultivation, he would not have been able to face it so calmly. His dark eyes flickered like lightning as he surveyed the surroundings. He spoke indifferently, “Though this treasure is tempting, it depends on whether you have the life to claim it.” Lin Xun knew he couldn’t afford any delay. If he lingered around, unpredictable changes could occur. This only strengthened Lin Xun’s determination to subdue it. Without reservation, he unleashed his full strength and cultivation. In truth, Lin Xun felt a jolt of shock within. However, this thought only flickered across his mind before he refocused on what was in front of him. The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron continued to unleash its suppressive might, and was already close to completely suppressing the golden spear. Now, such a rare treasure had appeared before them, igniting a fervor and attracting numerous covetous gazes. Lin Xun was also stunned. He didn’t expect his luck to be so good. The first star source he discovered was already so incredible. As soon as Huo Yunge arrived, he unleashed an overwhelming aura of dominance. With a move of his body, he rose into the air, shrouded in flames thousands of feet high. It was a reality he found hard to accept. Even Huo Yunge’s expression darkened, his heart reeling. Never had he thought that facing Ling Xuanzi, a mere sixth realm Emperor, would leave him so gravely wounded. The terrifying power made many Emperors nearby tremble inwardly. How could a mere star source possess such terrifying murderous might? His words were like a cold splash of water on the Emperors, dousing the fiery greed in their hearts and replacing it with a deep fear. Most importantly, many powerful figures were still lurking nearby, eyeing the situation covetously, and even more were rushing over from the distance. The situation was full of uncertainties. The golden spear let out a clear hum as it tore through the sky like a streak of golden lightning, attempting to escape. Seeing this, Lin Xun no longer hesitated. He immediately summoned the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron to suppress it. A snow-white beast skeleton, wreathed in flame, appeared. In a flash, it transformed into a colossal fire qilin, as towering as a mountain, radiating a terrifying, violent incinerating aura. Did this mean that Huo Yunge had sensed the danger and realized that he was no match for Ling Xuanzi? The Emperor-level figures who had remained behind were all aghast and horrified. One by one, they retreated, unable to resist the terrifying aura emanating from the lake. The power behind it was too overwhelming. “Huo Yunge!” Gasps of recognition broke out among the crowd. In an instant, the entire world was swallowed by crimson fire. The sky was dyed blood-red for thousands of miles. Its power shook the sky and the pressure was suffocating beyond words. Seeing Lin Xun about to conquer the star source, many eyes gleamed coldly, ready to strike at any moment. However, some were even faster than them. The spear seemed to have been forged by the hand of the heavens, its surface marked with intricate and mysterious vein patterns. It hovered in the air, radiating a murderous aura that tore cracks into the surrounding void. The power of wither and thrive, the Eyes of Smoldering Flames, the Thorn of Sharpness, the Seal of All Beings... “Hm? Interesting, you actually blocked my strike.” A cold voice rang out as a burly figure emerged. At this critical moment, Lin Xun’s eyes turned ice-cold, murderous intent surged surging from within. A deafening roar erupted from the depths of the lake, shaking the heavens and earth. The golden lake churned violently as though something extraordinary was about to descend, causing a massive upheaval. Earlier, he had even used a killing trump card. Now, after witnessing Lin Xun’s terrifying power firsthand, he understood that pressing the attack any further would only end in disaster for him. The nearby Emperors’ pupils contracted sharply. Then, wild joy filled their hearts. Naturally, they were unwilling to see such a magical star source fall into Lin Xun’s hands. Huo Yunge was an eighth realm supreme Emperor and a pure-blooded descendant of the fire qilin. His foundation and talent were both heaven-defying, but in a head-on clash, he had suffered a crushing defeat! In the blink of an eye, the five clones attacked Huo Yunge together! Caught completely off guard, Huo Yunge’s pupils shrank and his face darkened. Feeling a fatal threat looming over him, he immediately unleashed his trump card. Suddenly, from the distant sky came the sharp sound of air being pierced, like the tolling of a death knell, causing everyone present to tense in alarm. Then, something strange occurred. The golden spear seemed alive, as if it had a spirit of its own. It swept through the air, and in an instant, a torrent of golden light exploded, crushing the power of Lin Xun’s palm strike. The tide of flames surged violently as Huo Yunge swung his fist. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked. Fire burst forth as if to incinerate the world itself. The nearby Emperors were all struck with fear, repeatedly retreating. The fierce clash left them feeling suffocated and terrified. Before Huo Yunge’s punch could even approach, it was crushed and devoured by the abyss, producing an ear-splitting roar. It looked effortless. Clearly, he intended to take advantage of the moment Lin Xun was suppressing the golden spear to strike and steal the treasure! Meanwhile, Lin Xun had already made his move, reaching for the golden spear from a distance. Of course, no one dared to say a word. Star sources were mysterious rare treasures scattered throughout the Secret Realm of Trial. The rarer and higher the quality, the more incredible their value. A terrifying figure like Huo Yunge was not someone they could afford to offend.
