In this brilliant, splendid flash of lightning, Gu Jinlai, from his high vantage point, looked down at Lin Yuan, Jin Haoran, and Liu Yuxi and gestured with his hand.
"All three of you, come at me together."
A flash of anger passed through Liu Yuxi’s eyes.
As a Void Immortal of the Immortal Country, wherever she went to any surviving Holy Land or Grotto Heaven, she was met with respect, yet a mere Qiantian dared...
"To shake the heavens with one’s own strength... Such power..."
Jin Haoran’s expression was solemn, "How is it so similar to a True Immortal replacing the Heavenly Heart with one’s own, turning Dao Fruit into the Heavenly Dao?"
"It’s not replacing the Heavenly Heart with one’s own."
Lin Yuan seemed to have seen something else and said, "He’s not using the power of Dao Fruit, but rather... Talent!"
He added emphatically, "This is an Innate Divine Beast!"
"Innate Divine Beast!?"
Jin Haoran quickly thought of something, his face showing shock, "The path of a Martial Immortal!? How could anyone choose the incredibly difficult path of the Martial Immortal under such favorable conditions!?"
"Whether it really is the path of the Martial Immortal will be clear only after the fight."
As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, he soared into the air.
Gold scales had appeared on his hands and quickly covered his entire body.
The gold scales shone brightly under the flash of lightning, giving him an aura of majesty and sanctity.
This was his Divine Weapon!
The main material of this Divine Weapon was the Divine Beast Qilin!
As a holy beast, the Qilin was more powerful than ordinary Divine Beasts, but the person who had crafted this Divine Weapon had limited skills and had not fully harnessed the material’s capabilities, so the weapon only inherited the Qilin’s incredible speed, and nothing else, such as strength, defense, Divine Skills, etc.
Even so, with the astonishing speed granted by this Divine Weapon, he could still retreat with ease when facing a True Immortal.
It was thanks to this Divine Weapon that he, along with Emperor Tianji and Master Wushi, survived the great battle where Emperor Master Tai A and Xu Wu had perished.
Once Lin Yuan was completely covered in scales, he suddenly shot up into the air, like a golden streak of light, boldly shooting towards Gu Jinlai above the Sky Dome.
Almost at the moment he shot into the clouds, Thunder roared!
A streak of lightning, like a Divine Sword cleaving the heavens, slashed down from the Sky Dome, its dazzling light illuminating everything in the world.
Facing this strike as fast as the speed of light, Lin Yuan seemed to have a premonition, his figure flickering, and he directly dodged it.
Seeing this, Gu Jinlai flipped his hand.
This time, it was no longer the sword light that shattered heaven and earth, but hundreds of thousands of Thunders forming a net in the sky and on the ground.
Thunder Dragons crisscrossed, weaving through all directions, their sheer terrifying might enough to make anyone tremble.
Yet faced with such a barrage of lightning, Lin Yuan’s figure was like a dragon, freely swimming through the hundreds and thousands of bolts, and he eventually, miraculously, broke through the lightning’s blockade and killed his way to within a few thousand meters in front of Gu Jinlai.
"You are very strong, your speed and perception are extremely impressive!"
Seeing this, Gu Jinlai sincerely admired him.
The next moment, he pointed with an empty hand, countless Thunders rapidly moving to form a dazzling halo, like a ring composed entirely of thunder, the ring swirling into a vortex, creating a devouring force like a black hole, instantly binding Lin Yuan’s figure tightly.
