Double joy!

When Lin Xun heard this, his lips curled into a sneer. “I’d like to see what you mean by that.”

Saying that, he no longer suppressed his aura. Boom!

It was as if an ancient beast had awakened within him. A terrifying energy spread like a landslide from the center of the hall where he stood.

The nearby tables and desks were instantly reduced to powder. Guests who were in the Transcendence Stage displayed drastic expression changes and scrambled to dodge. In the face of this might alone, they felt suffocated, their muscles ached, and their mental state showed signs of being suppressed!

In the blink of an eye, the inside of Central Divine Palace became a wreck.

On the other hand, Lin Xun was surrounded by obscure Eternal light, his clothes fluttering. He was standing right there but somehow gave off the vibe of an overlord in the ninth heaven above, unattainable and out of reach. His black eyes resembled abysses, and his aura dominated the ten directions!

“Advanced Law Transcendence Realm!” Ji Xiaoyun's pupils constricted, astonished by the strength Lin Xun displayed. After all, Lin Xun had only stepped into the Eternal Stage less than six months ago. This kind of cultivation speed was simply frightening.

“Beifeng, go fetch Ji He,” ordered Ji Xiaoyun as he waved his hand. A violet-gold pagoda swept out.

Buzz!

Violet-gold Eternal light expanded, resembling thick and mountain-like energy as it came at Lin Xun in an oppressive fashion.

Ji Xiaoyun had no choice but to attack; Lin Xun's aura was too strong. If he didn't suppress it, the important guests in the hall would suffer, and the Ji Clan would have to shoulder the blame and criticisms from the other Eternal Divine Clans.

Boom!

The violet-gold pagoda glided over and dropped billions of chains of light, burning brightly. Instead of evading it, Lin Xun flicked his fingers.

Clang!

In the deafening collision, the violet-gold pagoda was viciously sent flying. Sparks filled to the brim with horrifying destructive power splashed everywhere, shattering the huge stone pillar supporting the hall. Several Transcendence Immortals couldn't dodge in time and were blasted to death on the spot, destroyed in both form and spirit.

“Get out of here!”

“Run!”

Terrified screams resounded as the other guests frantically fled outside like their lives depended on it. But how could Lin Xun let them? He pressed his palms in the air. Kaboom!

From him, overwhelming Eternal law spread outward, raging and ravaging like a spatial storm. The entire hall was flooded by a blanket of Eternal dao light.

“NOOO!”

“Help! Save me!”

“This won't end well for you, Lin Xun!!!”

Heart-wrenching, desperate, and angry screams rang out endlessly, until they all came to an abrupt end. Those Immortals, whether from the other Eternal Divine Clans or the Ji Clan, had been put to utter death. Not a single soul survived!

It wasn't that Ji Xiaoyun didn't want to save them, but that he himself had to exert his full strength to defuse the blow from Lin Xun and couldn't afford to be distracted. As for Ji Beifeng, who was about to go and ask for help from Ji He, he similarly had to shield himself.

Rumble!

As the energy from Lin Xun’s attack roamed free, the Central Divine Palace, which had been constructed by the Ji Clan's sages with all sorts of divine materials, collapsed under the severe impact.

Seeing this, countless cries of alarm resounded from the martial ground.

“The Central Divine Palace is down!!!!”

“Heavens, don't tell me... all those big shots inside couldn't take down the person just now?”

“Dodge!!!”

Panic spread like a wave, and the huge square became full of fleeing and evading figures. It was complete chaos. Fear was plastered all over the face of every cultivator.

Who could imagine that such a disaster would befall just before the Ji Clan's big day tomorrow? Even its core important area that was the Central Divine Palace had collapsed! The whole thing had happened all too fast, catching everyone off guard.

At this moment, it wasn't just the people at the palace square, but also all of the Ji Clan members in Origin Divine Mountain were startled.

“What is that? What happened?”

“Go, go check!”

“Damn it, someone couldn't really dare to attack our clan?”

If one were to watch from the sky, they would see the clansmen in every corner turning into streaks of light as they shot toward Central Divine Palace. Every face was full of disbelief and rage.

The Ji Clan had existed in the Ninth Heaven Domain for eons, with an influence so great that it was in the top five of the twelve Eternal Divine Clans! How could anything like this ever happen to them before?

Meanwhile, above the rubble of Central Divine Palace, Lin Xun stood in the air. Billions of dao lights streamed around him, making him look like an almighty dao lord.

In the distance, Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Beifeng stood side by side. Their faces were dark and livid, their eyes filled with fury and killing intent. The destruction of the Central Divine Palace wasn't actually too big of a deal. What enraged them was the death of the VIPs who had attended the banquet.

Rumble!

The region quaked under the horrifying Eternal auras emanating from both sides who were face to face across the void. It disturbed the wind and clouds, taking light away from the stars above. Those who had managed to escape far away were all shaking in utter fright.

An Eternal! The one who had killed his way into the Central Divine Palace alone was an unimaginable Eternal expert! Moreover, what had transpired told them that, today, a heaven-splitting calamity awaited the Ji Clan.

“I... How blind I was!”

The python-robed old man felt a storm of emotions. Remembering how he had bossed around and talked down to Lin Xun when they had first met, he felt like he had unknowingly survived a disaster. If the other party had been merciless at that time, how could he still be standing here?

“Don't worry, everyone. I will only kill those who deserve it and won't make things difficult for the rest. Still, it's best that you keep yourself out of the battle zone. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you.”

Lin Xun's indifferent voice resounded between heaven and earth. For him to be within the Ji Clan's territory and yet saying something like that, Ji Xiaoyun's face grew more and more livid as he listened.

“Lin Xun, don't be rampant!” He shouted and hurled the violet-gold treasure pagoda at Lin Xun.

Boom! The pagoda shot through the sky with matchless might.

However, Lin Xun waved his sleeve and repelled it. Suffering backlash, Ji Xiaoyun swayed and staggered. His expression twisted as he could hardly believe it. He had used every drop of his strength as a peak Law Transcendence Eternal, yet had failed to even shake Lin Xun. How could he accept this?

Meanwhile, the nearby area was already boiling.

“Lin Xun! He is Origin Clarity Pavilion Master Lin Xun!”

“He certified eternity?!”

“Heavens, the menace whose name is notorious in all the nine domains has actually killed his way to here...”

“So it's him, no wonder he's so strong!” 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The spectators finally reacted. Upon recognizing Lin Xun, they couldn't remain calm and all cried out in shock.

Lin Xun!

Who didn't know this most legendary menace of the last hundred years in the Eternal True Realm?

“Quickly leave this place, do not come any closer!” shouted Ji Xiaoyun when he noticed the various clansmen rushing in from all directions, his heart tensed.

Few were better aware than him that a fight between Eternals such as this could not be interfered, for those who get involved would surely die. He absolutely did not want the clan to suffer heavy casualties!

The next instant, the rushing members of the Ji Clan turned away before they even came close. Obviously, they had also realized that the situation was not good. Lin Xun didn't stop them. Since the Divine Rank law covering Origin Divine Mountain was now under his control, it was destined that no one would escape now.

He murderously strode the void toward Ji Xiaoyun. “Show me whatever cards you have!”

While saying this, he made a grabbing motion. A boom exploded as his Eternal law in the air converged into a sky-blotting hand and blanketed upon Ji Xiaoyun.

The qi palm was still on the way, yet Ji Xiaoyun already felt a tingling sensation crawling under his skin. His heart sank, realizing he was far behind Lin Xun in terms of strength despite being a peak Law Transcendence expert.

He made a snap decision and bellowed, “Rise!”

Boom!

A verdant mountain emerged out of the blue. Shrouded in dense Eternal laws, it emanated a raw, primitive aura. This was the Ji Clan's greatest foundational treasure, Nation Mountain!

As a supreme artifact born from a Divine Rank law and nurtured by generations of Ji Clan sages with their blood and sweat, its power far exceeded that of ordinary Eternal treasures.

Thump!

When Lin Xun's qi palm landed, the mountain erupted with a monstrous green light. The next second, however, it wailed and got sent flying under the force, shattering the void and buzzing nonstop in its course.

As its wielder, Ji Xiaoyun coughed up blood. His face became even uglier. This Lin Xun... What terrifying combat strength!

“Die!”

At this moment, Ji Beifeng attacked. He wore golden armor as thin as cicada wings and held a golden trident. Threads of Eternal law interweaved around him and reached through heavens and earth, elevating his might into that of a war god.

Boom!

As his trident swept horizontally, scary phenomena erupted. The sky collapsed, ghosts howled, and the thousands of dao paths crumbled. It was a kind of power so strong that it was meant to solely wreak havoc.

Yet, despite being a long-prepared, all-out strike, it was casually dissolved by a palm strike the moment it approached Lin Xun. All those phenomena burst like bubbles. Immediately after that, Lin Xun teleported, appearing in front of Ji Beifeng and grasping out.

The force of this grab was overbearing to the point of despair. It crushed Ji Beifeng's defense in a devastating manner, blowing his golden armor to pieces.

When Ji Beifeng attempted to evade, his throat was already in the firm clutch of Lin Xun, and as a force was released from those fingers, Ji Beifeng's cultivation base was ruthlessly imprisoned inside him. He could no longer move.

His face was written with shock and confusion, as if he was struggling to believe that he could be restrained so quickly...

With one strike, Ji Beifeng was suppressed! Such a scene shocked everyone equally. The stupefied spectators were frozen on the spot.

Lin Xun's invincible figure became the most stunning light between heaven and earth!
