The former Heavenly Emperor's aura surged, and he pointed his finger at Lin Yan.
Immediately, Lin Yan suffered a heavy blow, and a crack appeared on his body as if his body was going to be torn apart.
Even so, Lin Yan looked calm, and with a casual wave of his hand, he forcibly healed the cracks on his body.
"Everlasting Immortal Body." This was a secret technique with incredible recovery power in the Lingxuan Continent.
Right now, Lin Yan was using this.
Not only that, but many clones suddenly emerged from Lin Yan's body.
These clones that resembled avatars pounced on these immortals around.
While these clones entangled with the immortals, Lin Yan quickly fled toward the distance.
In one breath, he escaped from the site.
Only then did spatial cracks appear, and he disappeared.
Seeing Lin Yan fleeing under everyone's noses, the Heavenly Palace's Immortals roared angrily.
"Your Highness, let's catch up with him immediately. We can't let him escape today."
Unexpectedly, the former Heavenly Emperor shook his head and said, "Don't chase after him. Although Lin Yan is a half-step immortal, if he fights with you, he will be able to kill at least half of you. My Heavenly Palace can't afford such a loss."
Losing two or three immortals in one breath could be a broken bone.
Not to mention, they were the only elites of the Heavenly Palace.
After the former Heavenly Emperor dissuaded the other immortals, he immediately looked solemn. He continued, "Of course, this matter cannot be left like this. Immediately issue an imperial decree that the Battle General of the Heavenly Palace, Lin Yan, defected the Heavenly Palace. All those who captured him can come to the Heavenly Palace in exchange for rewards."
Though the immortals around were reluctant, they also knew that the former Heavenly Emperor's way of handling the case was the most appropriate in the current situation.
Of course, with the former Heavenly Emperor finally giving his edict, none would question him.
Lin Yan's strength was comparable to that of a peak immortal level powerhouse.
In the entire Lingxuan Continent, except for Half-Step Immortal realm powerhouses like the former Heavenly Emperor, they weren't his opponents, let alone capture him.
…
"The Half-step Eternal Realm. Holy shit! The strength of the former Heavenly Emperor is so terrifying."
"Unbelievable, I thought the former Heavenly Emperor's strength was weak, so he was killed by the present Heavenly Emperor."
"It's out of my scope how the former Heavenly Emperor was killed later."
At this moment, the entire Lingxuan Continent buzzed with excitement.
No one had expected the former Heavenly Emperor from ten thousand years ago to be terrifyingly strong.
All these ten thousand years, everyone's impression of the former Heavenly Emperor was only the one of being beheaded among the Heavenly Emperors, leading to everyone thinking that the former Heavenly Emperor would be very ordinary back then. If not, how could he be decapitated by the present Heavenly Emperor, who was only an immortal ten thousand years ago?
But now, the scene on the screen completely overturned their impression of the former Heavenly Emperor in their hearts.
"Sure enough, none of those who can become Heavenly Emperor are weak." Many people sighed in their hearts.
…
Looking at the screen above, Lin Feng and the others had wide-open eyes.
Honestly, they were also stunned, like everyone else, seeing the strength of the former Heavenly Emperor.
In their group, Lin Feng was the strongest at Immortal Realm. He was still relatively short of Half-Step Eternal Realm.
If the former Heavenly Emperor were to resurrect, just by relying on his strength, he would have had little to no difficulty wiping out their anti-Heavenly Emperor alliance.
Before, they, just like others in the Lingxuan Continent, thought that the former Heavenly Emperor was killed because he wasn't strong enough.
But now, they were dumbfounded.
"Sister Xiao Mei, Is your father's strength actually this terrifying?" Lin Feng asked Xiao Mei with a sarcastic smile.
Looking at the screen above, Xiao Mei was now dumbfounded seeing her father show his incredible prowess.
She knew this was probably the last time her father would appear, and he would be killed soon after.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Mei didn't even turn her head back and said, "So what if he's a Half-Step Eternal Realm cultivator? He still got beheaded in public, didn't he?"
Hearing Xiao Mei's words, the surrounding crowd felt a bit creepy.
The former Heavenly Emperor, though fierce, was beheaded by the Heavenly Emperor in public.
Ten thousand years ago, the current Heavenly Emperor was fierce back then but still couldn't cross into the Eternal Realm like the former Heavenly Emperor.
But still, the Heavenly Emperor from ten thousand years ago managed to kill the former Heavenly Emperor who was at Half-Step Eternal Realm.
What about ten thousand years later?
"Fortunately, the Heavenly Emperor was imprisoned inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror and was killed. If not, with his terrifying strength, who could stand against him?" The crowd muttered to themselves.
…
Teng Gang was on the side, protecting the remnants of Zhao Ling'er's soul.
Though his tears had dried up, he lifted his head to look at the sky above in grief.
The scene on the screen and his memory were too different.
He only remembered that after he woke up, he was in the forbidden area of the Heavenly Palace, and then not long after that, the Heavenly Emperor showed up, and soon, the three of them left the Heavenly Palace.
But now, the scenes on screen were completely different from what he remembered.
"What exactly happened back then? Was it really, as Lin Feng said, that the Heavenly Emperor saved us for some plot, and for this plot, even Third Brother and Fourth Brother were killed by the Heavenly Emperor?" Teng Gang stared at the screen above with a deadly gaze.
Lin Yan took them and escaped from the former Heavenly Emperor and the others.
Next, it was supposed to be the scene where the Third Elder brother, Zhuo Yang and Fourth Elder Brother Xu Jingtian were killed.
