Facing the Royal Fire Nine Swords, Lin Xuan stood still. Could it be that Elder Lin Xuan was seeking death?
In the eyes of the crowd, the Ye Nation's royal Duke was still quite formidable.
It should be noted that within the Royal Duke realm, the difference between each small stage was immense. In the mid-stage of the Royal Duke realm, one could crush those in the early stage. Even among those in the early stage, there was a considerable difference between those who were perfected and those who had just entered.
This Ye Nation's royal Duke possessed the Royal Fire Nine Swords technique, giving him the power to contend with the mid-stage of the Royal Duke realm.
"Elder Lin Xuan is in danger!"
This was their current thought.
Suddenly, countless spiritual winds burst out from Lin Xuan's outstretched hand, radiating from all around!
The surrounding void instantly changed color, and an invisible pressure spread!
Roaring!
It seemed like countless divine forces were exploding in the void. In an instant, the Ye Nation's Duke unexpectedly felt an endless pressure all around him!
This kind of pressure seemed to come from the suppression of bloodline. It made his royal bloodline tremble!
Even more, he felt as if he couldn't meet Lin Xuan's eyes directly!
"Ah!"
The other royal members around him, although not as strong as the Duke, were now less resistant. Under this sudden pressure, their spiritual consciousness directly fell!
Although they were not core members of the royal bloodline, they still had the bloodline, but under this pressure, their eyes became unusually vacant, as if they had lost their souls!
"What kind of divine ability is this?!"
The Sect Master of Shentian Sect couldn't help but frown, shocked by the overwhelming power Lin Xuan displayed. Lin Xuan, whom he had personally cultivated, how could he not know him? However, at this moment, Lin Xuan's sudden burst of power made him feel like he didn't know Lin Xuan at all.
"How is this possible!"
It took the Ye Nation's Duke a while to calm his affected spiritual consciousness. In his eyes, the scene before him was suddenly changing, as if he had entered a hellish realm.
"How could this be! How can he have such divine abilities!"
The Ye Nation's Duke exclaimed. He had fully unleashed the power of the Royal Fire Nine Swords, which could rival the mid-stage of the Royal Duke realm!
Now, facing Lin Xuan, he felt like his overwhelming divine fire was as powerless as if it didn't exist.
"Royal Fire Nine Swords! Explode!"
"Die!"
The Ye Nation's Duke, realizing that something was wrong, no longer dared to underestimate Lin Xuan. He shouted, directly using the most powerful move of the Royal Fire Nine Swords, attempting to defeat Lin Xuan with the accumulated power in an instant!
Boom!
The celestial flames that had filled the void exploded, causing waves of heat to roll over the Divine Heaven Sect. The disciples below were nearly burned by the scorching flames. The residual power of the high-level martial artist in the Royal Duke realm was enough to cause tragic consequences for those disciples. Fortunately, the Sect Master, Shen Wufeng, acted swiftly. His powerful spiritual force manifested as protective barriers, shielding the disciples from the devastating impact.
Huff, huff!
At the same time, in Shen Wufeng's other palm, spiritual power had condensed, a sign of his preparedness. Although Lin Xuan's display of pressure had exceeded his expectations, Shen Wufeng still harbored some concerns.
Regardless, Lin Xuan was an elder of the Divine Heaven Sect. If there was any danger, Shen Wufeng was ready to intervene at any moment. He glanced at Lin Xuan with the corner of his eye, noticing Lin Xuan's calm demeanor.
What surprised him even more was the boy standing behind Lin Xuan – Ye Hao.
Just this expression alone forced Shen Wufeng to admire Lin Xuan's judgment. Although Ye Hao was just a beginner in cultivation, his eyes revealed a certain level of calmness when facing a high-level martial artist like the Royal Duke.
It could be said that such composure was either a sign of unusual mental fortitude or great determination. In the case of Ye Hao, it seemed to be the latter.
Thinking it over, Shen Wufeng felt reassured. After all, considering Lin Xuan's previous statements about Ye Hao enduring the extraction of the Supreme Bone at a young age, surviving such an ordeal and maintaining such composure wasn't surprising.
Shifting his gaze back to Lin Xuan, he found that despite the explosion of celestial flames, Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged.
Then, Lin Xuan extended his palm and forcefully clawed forward, uttering a light chant.
"Jue Tian Palm!"
This was one of the divine techniques of the Supreme Bone—enhanced and strengthened by the system! Although Lin Xuan hadn't fully integrated the Supreme Bone after accepting Ye Hao as a disciple, at this moment, he could exert a small part of its divine power. The might of Jue Tian Palm hadn't fully erupted, but it was already formidable.
As these three words were uttered, the entire world seemed to tremble, with the wind howling and the clouds churning. The void itself was in constant motion.
In an instant, all the spiritual power above the Divine Heaven Sect seemed to be sucked away, converging rapidly toward Lin Xuan's outstretched palm!
Boom!
A massive vortex of spiritual power suddenly formed in front of Lin Xuan.
Swoosh!
The elders of the Divine Heaven Sect, including the Sect Master, stood up abruptly. Their eyes were filled with astonishment as they witnessed the unfolding scene.
"Not good!"
Feeling the force, the Duke of the Ye Nation's pupils widened in horror, his face changing drastically.
Buzzing!
A chaotic sound buzzed in his ears, and then his surroundings seemed to undergo a sudden transformation. In an instant, he felt like he was plunged into the depths of hell.
"How is this possible! How could he possess such divine power!"
The Duke of the Ye Nation couldn't help but exclaim. At this moment, all the confidence he had against Lin Xuan had been completely shattered. The power, the divine techniques—these were things he hadn't even dared to imagine!
Pain! Intense pain!
In his body, there was only this one sensation. Although the boundless spiritual power hadn't been directly struck by Jue Tian Palm, it infiltrated his bone marrow like a continuous drizzle, causing unimaginable agony.
This person, Lin Xuan, was definitely not someone he could contend with!
"Escape!"
He no longer cared about the others around him. The floating longswords in the void were left unattended as he turned and exerted all the spiritual power in his dantian. Only by doing so could he escape from under Lin Xuan's palm.
However!
At the moment he attempted to flee, Lin Xuan's palm casually pushed forward. The overwhelming hand tore through the astral wind, producing a deafening roar. In an instant, it had reached the Royal Duke's body!
Puff!
The Duke of the Ye Nation violently spewed a mouthful of blood. His body, like a kite with a broken string, plummeted from the void!
Thud!
The Duke of the Ye Nation's body heavily crashed onto the ground, emitting a dull sound.
This sound struck everyone's hearts: the Duke of the Ye Nation had been defeated!
They recalled Lin Xuan's words just moments ago: "Get lost! Or die!"
The Duke of the Ye Nation, who had dismissed Lin Xuan's warning, was now bitterly ironic!
After all, he was a Royal Duke of the Ye Nation!
