He was an eighth realm supreme Emperor, possessing an incredibly profound cultivation and tyrannical battle power. He was comparable to Nan Tianzheng in every respect. The moment he sensed something was amiss, he instinctively activated his full cultivation and prepared to unleash all his defenses. Unfortunately, in that very instant, a fist came crashing down like a mountain from the heavens. All his cultivation and defensive treasures shattered like fragile paper! He tried to dodge, but it was already too late. He could only watch helplessly as the fist came crashing down. His head, neck and chest were crushed in a straight line by that unstoppable punch. The terrifying fist force even vaporized the blood that sprayed from him. She, like Li Hengxie, was a supreme Emperor, but her cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the eighth realm. Regarded as the pearl of the Li Clan, she was highly esteemed by the clan’s elders. They believed that, with her cultivation, she had a real chance of ascending to the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Realm one day. The moment danger erupted, she relied on her survival instincts and dodged without hesitation. However, from all directions of the void, countless dense streams of sword qi suddenly erupted, blanketing the heaven and earth, completely engulfing her slender and graceful figure. Amid the thunderous roar of sword qi, her body was torn to shreds by countless sword qi, as though suffering the cruelest torture in the world, death by a thousand cuts. Not a fragment of bone was left behind. He was a Ninth Realm Ancestor, who was only one step away from mastering a complete dao. He wore a mysterious set of Emperor armor imbued with astonishing defensive power. Despite that, in a flash, a descending cauldron smashed him into a bloody pulp. His Emperor armor exploded, and both his body and spirit were annihilated on the spot. In addition, three other Li Clan experts were also slain on the spot. One was torn apart by sword qi, another flattered by a massive palm strike, while the third was struck down by a crushing fist. Furthermore, all of it happened in an instant. It was almost the moment Li Henshui and the others sensed something was wrong that the sudden massacre erupted. In addition, it was terrifying to an unimaginable degree. Li Henshui had sharp instincts, but even he was caught off guard by the sudden, one-sided slaughter. After all, they came to deal with just a clone. Only now did he finally see the truth. Lin Xun hadn’t sent just one clone. There were four of them! Among them, one stood with a sword cauldron hovering above his head. This was clearly not a clone, but Lin Xun’s true body! “Damn it, we’ve been tricked!” Li Henshui’s expression turned grim, his eyes bloodshot. He roared like an enraged ancient beast and charged straight at Lin Xun’s true body. With a swing of his two-meter-long axe, he unleashed a torrent of dao light and laws, as though splitting the heavens. The terrifying might of an Emperor Ancestor Realm expert caused the world to quake, the void to shatter, and space to collapse. However, Lin Xun’s true body met the assault head-on with the Limitless Sword Cauldron, forcing Li Henshui to stagger back. Li Henshui’s expression changed again. Only now did he understand why someone as powerful as Nan Yongqiang had been slain by Lin Xun in during Defending the Ring. This boy’s strength had indeed reached the level where he could shake and suppress even Emperor Ancestors. It was simply monstrous, defying the heavens ! At this moment, two more blood-curdling cries rang out in the distance. Two more Li Clan cultivators were slaughtered on the spot. In truth, the battlefield had plunged into utter chaos. The Li Clan cultivators had suffered an unimaginably brutal ambush. Although they reacted swiftly, they simply couldn’t withstand Lin Xun’s violent suppression. After all, each of his clones had been reforged and reconstructed through the Great Dao Furnace Art, and the power each wielded now was no less than that of his true body. From the very beginning, Lin Xun and his clones had unleashed their full strength with no reservations. How could such power be ordinary? At this point, only a brief moment had passed, yet nine members of the Li Clan had already perished! Out of the original nineteen clan members present, nearly half had been killed or wounded in the blink of an eye! Scenes of bloodshed blanketed the battlefield like a haze of death, relentlessly reaping lives and driving the remaining Li Clan cultivators into a frenzy. Their furious roars echoed one after another, like the howls of mad beasts. The battlefield had descended into complete chaos. Some tried to distance themselves and break free from the relentless onslaught, but every attempt ended in failure. Lin Xun’s three clones were like a Three Talents Formation, unleashing a power that completely suppressed the Li Clan cultivators on the battlefield, leaving them no chance to reverse the situation. Someone unhesitatingly activated their trump card, manifesting a terrifying will of an Immortal being that pressed down on the heavens and earth, as if threatening to shatter all creation. However, before that power could erupt, a rusted blade tore through the void and split it apart, exploding it into a shower of radiant light. That blade came from the Nan Clan. It was once an immortal-grade weapon, and although it was heavily damaged, it was still a secret treasure capable of immense destruction. At the same time, the blade also crumbled. After all, it was a severely damaged treasure and the power it held was ultimately limited. Witnessing all this, Li Henshui, still locked in battle with Lin Xun’s true body, had a flash of madness in his eyes. Suddenly, dazzling golden light burst from between Li Henshui’s fingers. Looking closely, it was a wooden statue, no more than half a foot tall, seated atop an auspicious cloud. The figure sat cross-legged, its ancient face bearing an inscrutable expression, neither smiling nor crying. Its hands were folded over its abdomen, forming a strange, ancient seal. Endless brilliant golden light surged from the statue, exuding a boundless immortal majesty. The world was instantly shrouded in a solemn, mysterious atmosphere. Lin Xun’s true body and his three clones all froze mid-battle, gripped by a sense of fatal danger. There was no doubt that this statue unleashed by Li Henshui was a terrifying deadly trump card, overflowing with forbidden power! At that moment, the surviving Li Clan experts simultaneously let out a sigh of relief. Their eyes shone with fanaticism, as if they had absolute confidence in the statue. As Li Henshui began chanting a strange, obscure incantation, his strength was rapidly drawn into the statue in his hands. The blazing immortal radiance around the statue grew more and more intense, and the aura it released became increasingly terrifying. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelꞁire.net Faintly, the statue’s tightly shut eyes seem on the verge of opening! Without hesitation, Lin Xun activated the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron in an attempt to stop all this. Unfortunately, with a deafening roar, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron was blasted backward by a wave of golden immortal light unleashed by the statue, unable to get close at all. “You little bastard, you should feel honored to die beneath the Immortal Golden Body left behind by the founding ancestor of our clan!” Li Henshui looked crazed, his qi surging violently as all his strength was devoured by the statue known as the Immortal Golden Body, like a mighty river drawn into the sea. Lin Xun’s true body waved his hand, sending out a jade talisman. In a flash, a phantom battle spear shrouded in immortal aura roared into the air. It unmistakably bore the aura of the Spear of Many Changes! Just like the rusted blade earlier, this was another killing weapon from the Nan Clan. Only this time it was wielded by Lin Xun. With a loud boom, the phantom spear slammed into the blazing golden light, shattered and dissipated into nothing. Lin Xun’s pupils narrowed sharply. That strike was powerful enough to threaten even Emperor Ancestors, but it still couldn’t shake the Immortal Golden Body in the slightest! “Hahaha, it's useless. Struggle all you want! It’s futile!” Li Henshui laughed maniacally, madness flashing in his eyes. The other Li Clan experts sneered coldly. The statue was none other than the remains of an immortal ancestral founder. It was said to be indestructible and harbored terrifying, unfathomable power. Not even the most formidable trump cards could shake it in the slightest! Suddenly, as if it had gathered enough power, the statue erupted with a torrent of golden immortal light that soared into the sky and swept across the nine heavens, blazing with boundless brilliance. The statue’s tightly closed eyes trembled slightly and then began to slowly open... An indescribable, terrifying might surged forth, shaking the heavens violently. Under its weight, all existences showed signs of collapse. That sight made every Li Clan expert tremble, their hearts pounding wildly. It was as if they were witnessing the awakening of their founding ancestor, returning to the world after countless ages! At that moment, Lin Xun smiled. “This treasure will be mine from today onward.” His voice drifted across the battlefield. Then, time seemed to stop and the world fell into absolute silence. It was of course Lin Xiun’s innate ability: Time Stopping! The next moment, Lin Xun appeared directly before Li Henshui, raised his hand and swung his palm. Li Henshui, whose strength had already been drained by the statue, shattered on the spot like brittle paper. At the same time, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron descended, engulfing the statue. The half-opened eyes suddenly shut again... Everything happened in the blink of an eye. By the time the remaining Li Clan members regained their senses, all they saw was Liu Henshui’s body exploding into a rain of blood, and the statue seized by Lin Xun’s Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. They all screamed as if struck by lightning, their faces contorting in despair, like bereaved parents driven to the brink of madness. This sudden reversal was so great it felt like a dream. In the blink of an eye, everything had changed! Their hope that the Immortal Golden Body would unleash its might and effortlessly slay Lin Xun was utterly shattered. It could no longer happen... Meanwhile, Lin Xun felt as if a massive weight had been lifted from his shoulders. His whole body felt light and relaxed. The aura the statue had released earlier was like a blade pressed against his throat, threatening to take his life at any moment. He had no doubt that if the statue fully awakened, it could have wiped him out in an instant. Fortunately, all of this was stopped by his divine ability, Time Stopping, and never came to pass. Without wasting any time, he activated the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron once more and charged toward the remaining Li Clan experts. Even faster were his three dao bodies. While the Li Clan cultivators stood dazed in shock, they seized the opportunity and launched a full-force assault. This time, he wasn’t going to let a single Li Clan member escape!
