The sky shook and the ground quaked. The field was in disarray. Despite having evacuated as soon as possible, when Lin Xun saw the mere wisp of extinguishing law fire turn the figure of immortal will into ashes, burn the ferocious blood-red spear like paper, and incinerate Heng Tianshuo, an Ancestor of a Path, in the latter’s powerless struggle... Even he was shocked inside. The extinguishing law fire, which he had collected in the mysterious forbidden area in Gathering Netherworld, was transformed from the broken law power of the last epoch. According to the green sparrow, a law power fire of such terror was capable of posing a serious threat to even immortal figures. From how things had turned out, it was indeed worthy of its notoriety! That immortal will was so powerful that the moment it appeared, its killing intent flooded the nine heavens and ten earths. Its power far exceeded the Ancestral Realm. Despite that, it had been incinerated in a flash! Meanwhile, Heng Tianshuo was a tried-and-true Ancestor of a Path! Yet, in the face of the flame’s attack, he had appeared useless, instantly reduced to ashes and wiped out on the spot. However, after killing Heng Tianshuo, the wisp of flame was also exhausted and had dissipated. When the dust settled, everything returned to silence. The sky and earth were ridden with cracks and marks of destruction. Even though the city was protected by many restrictions, there were still many places that had suffered irreparable damage. The spectators were all quiet, utterly dumbfounded. Previously, when the immortal will appeared, its overwhelming might had petrified their minds, which had prevented them from seeing any detail of the battle. When their vision cleared up, they were appalled to see that not only was that immortal will gone, but even City Lord Heng Tianshuo had also vanished! Only Ling Xuanzi stood alone in the air, his black hair spread out like a deity. Dao light streamed around him, and his aura strove to swallow mountains and rivers, reigning supreme over the world! Who still didn’t know that in this fierce and perilous duel, this young supreme seventh realm Great Emperor had emerged as the sole survivor? “How... How is this possible...?!” The silent atmosphere was broken by a loud cry of disbelief, and all of the Emperor spectators paled. An immortal will was a force far more terrifying than an Emperor Ancestor, yet it had actually been defeated! This was completely out of their expectations. “This is just too much. When did the Ancient Nebula Road produce such a formidable Great Emperor? He just killed a Dao Ancestor! Who would dare to believe this?” Many people felt like they were going crazy from this immeasurable shock. “During the head-on confrontation, Heng Tianshuo was also repeatedly suppressed and injured. After utilizing a killer card such as that immortal will, he still failed to change his fate. This is proof that Ling Xuanzi similarly possesses an extremely powerful card that can dominate immortal wills!” commented a person, eyes gleaming and voice permeated with deep apprehension. At the moment, even supreme Great Emperors like Yue Duqiu and Xiang Xiaoyuan were having trouble calming down. The battle prowess displayed by Lin Xun had completely subverted their cognition and surpassed their wildest imaginations. Crushing an immortal will and subduing an Ancestor of a Path, this was simply the sound of terror. On top of that, he was only a supreme seventh realm Great Emperor! “Since the beginning of time, such a thing has never happened in Origin City. The lord of a city was actually killed... When the news spreads, it’ll raise a storm in the entire Great Thousand Battle Domain!” Many gazes were fixed on the distant Lin Xun under the sky. Their expressions varied while their hearts all tumbled in emotions. When this young Great Emperor had miraculously walked out of the Ninth District alive, people had already found that unimaginable. Now, he had killed his way to the City Lord’s Residence and set off a bloody storm in front of it. He had even killed the city lord! It was clear to anyone that today's matter would probably go down in history and passed down from generation to generation. After all, he was the first Great Emperor to emerge from the Ninth District, and also the first person to slaughter the city lord of Origin City since the beginning of time! These two deeds alone were enough to be remembered for generations to come! While the crowd was still in a shocked trance, swish! Lin Xun vanished from the sky, swiftly teleporting to the back of the City Lord’s Residence. There, he looked down at it with a cold gleam in his eyes. Wen Shaoheng's face had been drained of color, currently full of panic. He had gotten caught in a grand array as soon as he escaped from the City Lord’s Residence. Even though he tried various means, he was unable to get out of it! Who had laid this grand array here? The raging power of the grand array filled every bit of space. Like a furious sea, it beat against Wen Shaoheng from all directions and restrained him. In front of Wen Shaoheng was a crystalline, white jade pendant. It had been diffusing strands of strange power that constantly dissolved the array’s attacks. However, it could only do so much. He simply couldn’t get out. “How could this be?” Wen Shaoheng suddenly regretted placing all his hopes on that useless old man Heng Tianshuo. A snicker suddenly rang out, “Wen Shaoheng, Heng Tianshuo is dead. This time, the City Lord’s Residence won’t be able to save you.” Wen Shaoheng looked like he was struck by lightning. His face sank, “Ling Xuanzi! Was it you who set up this array?” Lin Xun entered the grand array as he replied, “Correct.” Previously, upon returning to Origin City through the teleportation array, he had secretly dispatched Little Five with the task of establishing the Heaven Slaughtering Dao Severing array outside the City Lord’s Residence. It was in order to prevent Wen Shaoheng from escaping at the last moment. This was why Lin Xun had deliberately stalled for time when fighting the Seven Sinners; it was so that Little Five could set up the array without raising suspicions. Otherwise, had he only done that after killing his way to the City Lord’s Residence, it would have been too late. “You’re not scared of offending the Heng Clan by killing Heng Tianshuo? Not scared that you’ll be wanted by all the major Immortal Heavenly Passes in the Great Thousand Battle Domain?” questioned Wen Shaoheng loudly and coldly, but it was clear that he was trying to put on a strong front. In the Undead Soul Domain, he had almost gotten killed by Lin Xun, and had only been lucky to survive. Later on, in the Tianyu Building in this city, he similarly wouldn't have had the chance to run with his life if Granny Xue hadn't sacrificed hers to save him. This time, it seemed that he had no hope of escaping. This pushed his mental state to the brink of collapse. As one of the Wen Clan’s Five Absolute Emperors, he had never experienced this kind of defeat in his life. Lin Xun walked toward him with eerily cold eyes, “I already did that anyway. Do you think I’m scared?” Wen Shaoheng felt chills all over, “Ling Xuanzi, if you let me go this time, I swear that I will never be your enemy again, and I’ll also compensate you abundantly, how about it?” Lin Xun shook his head, “The reason why I haven’t killed you is because I have a question. Did you really go through all that trouble to capture me so that you could use me to please that woman named Luo Ling from the Luo Clan?” Wen Shaoheng hurriedly said, “Absolutely not! I just heard that Luo Ling hates a guy named Lin Xun to the bone...” Lin Xun cut him off, “I am Lin Xun.” Wen Shaoheng stiffened, and his eyes widened, “You, you... It’s really you! I guessed right! Over the last one hundred thousand years, the Ancient Nebula Road has only had one person called Lin Xun who became a supreme Emperor, so how could another named Ling Xuanzi pop up?!” He completely understood now, and an indescribable rage welled up in his heart, “Damn that Mi Wuya and Yan Yurou, how dare they team up to deceive me?!” Lin Xun stepped forward and struck out with his palm. A terrifying dao light shot out and squashed Wen Shaoheng, who exploded into a rain of blood. To Lin Xun's surprise, the guy’s primordial spirit escaped. Wen Shaoheng screamed, “Lin Xun, you have no idea! No one who offends my Wen Clan ever has a good ending!” The next second, a strange forbidden fluctuation surfaced on his primordial spirit before disappearing without a sound. Looking closely, strands of restrictive fluctuation now lingered around the primordial spirit. “Spirit Locking Seal...” Lin Xun revealed a look of realization. Back then, when he killed Fang Xuanzhen, the latter had also used the Spirit Locking Seal to put a barrier around his own spirit. Besides immortal characters, no one could break this seal. It was extremely strong. According to the green sparrow, this was very common in the Eternal True Realm. When experts of Immortal Imperial Clans went out to train, they would prepare many life-saving means, and the Spirit Locking Seal was one of them. Too bad for Wen Shaoheng, this kind of restriction was useless against Lin Xun. He threw Wen Shaoheng's primordial spirit inside the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, and with the operation of the Phoenix Flame of Order, the primordial spirit was crushed and ground away along with the Spirit Locking Seal! Next, Lin Xun stowed Wen Shaoheng's belongings one by one before telling Little Five to remove the Heaven Slaughtering Dao Severing array. It was also then that a big part of the accumulated resentment in Lin Xun's heart was finally vented. He looked around and keenly perceived many Emperor auras distributed throughout the area. They were all surveying his every move. Even though these auras didn’t exude any hostility, it still caused Lin Xun to frown and make a decision. “I need to get Mi Wuya and Yan Yurou settled down and leave this city immediately...” His figure vanished in a flash as he teleported away. That day, Origin City was caught in a sensation never before seen. The deaths of Heng Tianshuo and Wen Shaoheng had triggered countless clamors. Lin Xun's battle prowess also became the most discussed topic in the city. “After creating such a bloodbath, Ling Xuanzi will be wanted by all the major Immortal Heavenly Passes on his next journey, I’m afraid!” “The various forces stationed in different Immortal Heavenly Passes will not spare him, because he has broken the rules jointly set by all organizations in the Eternal True Realm!” Many people made the same judgment. This was a sky-piercing matter that was much more complicated than just offending the Heng and Wen Clans. It was about the rules of the Great Thousand Battle Domain! These rules were made a long time ago by all the great powers of the Eternal True Realm together. Otherwise, why had the forces of the Eternal True Realm been taking turns to manage the forty-nine large and small Immortal Heavenly Passes? It was to enforce the laws and rules they had set! Lin Xun’s killing of City Lord Heng Tianshuo was tantamount to completely trampling on the rules of the first Immortal Heavenly Pass. He was destined to be viewed as a murderer, tolerated by no forces who presided over the major Immortal Heavenly Passes! A person lamented, “The city cannot be without a leader for just a day. Heng Tianshuo’s death has definitely alarmed the Heng Clan. In fact, some very formidable expert from there will probably arrive anytime now to smooth out this turmoil, and Ling Xuanzi...will probably be hunted before anything else...” The impact of this matter was too nasty. It was impossible to be settled in a short time. As a result, Ling Xuanzi's situation would also suffer from unpredictable reactions!
