This young man was none other than the Sage of Langya.

Although he didn't take Li Chu seriously, as the saying goes, "even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner." Besides, keeping Li Chu alive might be useful later, so he naturally wouldn't allow Lin Yun to kill him.

He would not allow Lin Yun to kill Li Chu right under his nose.

The Sage of Langya spoke coldly and threateningly, showing no regard for Lin Yun, the Lord of Immortal Origin.

"Master! You've come to save me! Thank you so much for saving me, Master!"

When Li Chu saw that the Sage of Langya had returned to save him, he was extremely excited.

"He's your disciple? It seems you're the one who colluded with the three top super powers of the human race to scheme against me?" Lin Yun sneered.

He didn't want to clash with the Sage of Langya, but that didn't mean he was afraid of him.

From Zhenwu Shengjun's words, he knew that he might not be a match for this Langya Shengzhe, but it would definitely not be an easy task for this Langya Shengzhe to kill him.

Moreover, he is now the master of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, and the Langya Saint is a Saint Realm expert of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, so in name he is under his jurisdiction. Furthermore, with the True Martial Saint Lord on his side, he does not believe that this Langya Saint would dare to kill him, nor does he have the ability to do so.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you dare to touch my disciple, you've got some nerve! Do you think that just because Zhenwu gave you the position of Immortal Origin Master, you can act with impunity? Let me test your strength as Immortal Origin Master! Let me see if you're qualified to sit in the position of Immortal Origin Master!" The Langya Saint didn't look at Li Chu, his gaze was fixed on Lin Yun, and he said with a cold smile.

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sage of Langya suddenly rushed towards Lin Yun. At the same time, a powerful domain force covered Lin Yun, and a series of powerful attacks also attacked him.

"snort!"

Lin Yun naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. He snorted coldly and released a powerful domain force, launching a counterattack against the Langya Saint.

"Boom!"

The two attacks collided, immediately causing a tremendous tremor in the starry sky.

Pieces of the starry sky collapsed.

Fortunately, although this place is outside the Immortal Origin Holy Land, it is not on the same spatial layer as Earth. Otherwise, Earth would not have been able to withstand such a powerful tremor and would have been instantly reduced to ashes.

There are many layers in the universe, such as the accelerated space layer and the ordinary space layer, as well as various deeper spaces. The accelerated space layer alone has more than a few layers, and the deeper space layers are also more stable. The Immortal Source Holy Land is located in an extremely deep space layer.

"Sage of Langya, Lord of Immortal Source, please stop..." The Holy Mother said anxiously upon seeing this scene.

The True Martial Saint Lord is about to leave this universe. Lin Yun and the Langya Saint are the two strongest forces in the Immortal Origin Holy Land. If the two clash, the future of the Immortal Origin Holy Land will be uncertain.

Furthermore, this matter cannot be resolved in a short time, because even if Lin Yun advances further, he will only possess the strength of a superior saint. If the two were to clash, the outcome would likely be even more tragic.

"Excellent! This Lin Yun actually dared to fight Master, he's courting death!" On the other side, Li Chu was extremely excited. He was really looking forward to the battle between Lin Yun and the Sage of Langya. In his opinion, although Lin Yun was powerful, he was no match for his master, the Sage of Langya. What kind of person was his master, the Sage of Langya? He was a powerful Sage who had followed the Dao Ancestor thousands of years ago and was the number one Sage of the Immortal Origin Holy Land!

Once his master, the Sage of Langya, kills Lin Yun, he will have a chance to become the master of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

"Boom—Boom—Boom—"

Lin Yun and the Sage of Langya ignored the Holy Mother's words and continued to fight rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of blows.

Naturally, Lin Yun was no match for the Sage of Langya, but he did not appear particularly weak either. Although he was clearly at a disadvantage, he still firmly resisted the Sage of Langya's attacks.

In particular, Lin Yun's power was integrated with the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword. The Bloodthirsty Sword has the ability to absorb the power of enemies to strengthen its own power, which makes the Langya Saint not as wary of him as he would be of ordinary mid-level Saints.

Thus, on the surface, although Lin Yun was no match for the Sage of Langya, the Sage of Langya was also powerless to do anything to him.

"Lin Yun's strength has actually reached such a level..." The Sage of Langya was shocked and exclaimed.

Although he had seen Lin Yun fight with the nine saints through the monitoring array of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, people are prone to overestimating their abilities and underestimating their strengths. Moreover, he had never actually fought Lin Yun and always held onto a sliver of hope.

Alternatively, it's not impossible that those nine saints are not even as strong as ordinary lower-level saints. These saints were almost all promoted to the saint realm due to the great changes in the cosmic environment and the influence of the saints preaching in the Immortal Source Holy Land.

It's only been a few thousand years at most, so it's perfectly normal for their strength to be inferior to that of an ordinary lower-level saint.

Therefore, even if Lin Yun could fight against three or four Saints like that, he might not actually have the strength of a mid-level Saint.

However, at this moment, after fighting Lin Yun, the Langya Saint realized that Lin Yun's strength had truly reached that of a mid-level Saint, and was even stronger than that of an ordinary mid-level Saint.

In fact, the Sage of Langya underestimated those newly born sages.

Before the emergence of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, this universe had only broken through the eighteenth heaven. Due to environmental limitations, it was extremely difficult for a Saint to be born in this universe. However, countless races had many super geniuses at the fourth level of the Super Realm.

They have lived for countless years, accumulated wealth over countless years, and their accumulated wealth is already very substantial.

With the emergence of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, this universe was shattered by more than ten layers of heaven and earth, undergoing a change akin to the creation of the world. The environment of this universe, and the power of various hidden laws, improved rapidly, becoming dozens or even hundreds of times better than before.

Many powerful individuals believed that they increased their strength by listening to the sermons of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

In fact, while the teachings of the saints in the Immortal Origin Holy Land have a great effect, their impact is even greater on the environmental changes of this universe.

Thus, one after another, top-tier super-strong individuals accumulated their strength and unleashed their power, and one after another, saints were born.

Because of their substantial accumulated strength, their power mostly surpasses that of ordinary newly promoted Saints, and they are not weak compared to lower-level Saints who have been promoted to the Saint realm for countless years under normal circumstances.

Naturally, Lin Yun's strength far exceeded the expectations of the Sage of Langya.

The heart of the Sage of Langya was in turmoil.

Some things are even more shocking when you see them in person.

Lin Yun's realm is only at the second level of the Super Realm, but his strength is comparable to that of a mid-level Saint. This leap in level is extraordinary.

He wasn't even sure if the former Lord Li Er was as powerful as Lin Yun at this level.

However, Lord Li Er was the reincarnation of a powerful figure from the outside world, but what about Lin Yun?

Soon, the Sage of Langya had a gloomy face.

Lin Yun's power made him realize that his original plan was completely unworkable.

As long as Lin Yun is around, his plan will never be able to proceed.

We have no choice but to take another risky path.

Actually, he turned back to fight Lin Yun to test Lin Yun's strength and see if he could suppress Lin Yun. If he could, his plan might still be able to proceed.

But reality showed him the answer.

"Lin Yun's strength..." The Holy Mother took a deep breath.

Although she had seen Lin Yun's battles with others on the monitoring array of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, her perception of Lin Yun's strength was always somewhat lacking, similar to that of the Langya Saint.

Now, seeing Lin Yun's battle with the Sage of Langya, she realized that Lin Yun's strength had truly reached a terrifying level, enough to rival the Sage of Langya.

“How could this be… how could this happen… no, it’s impossible. Master’s strength is extremely powerful. Master must have been letting him go. That’s right, he is the Lord of Immortal Origin. Master is wary of him. Once Master understands, he will kill him…” Li Chu’s heart trembled slightly as he shook his head repeatedly. As he spoke, he thought of something, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. His slightly dazed eyes gradually regained their brightness.

"Master, you must kill him!" Li Chu looked at the battlefield nervously. He said this in his heart, and he dared not ask the Sage of Langya again.

Some things only need to be said once. He had already said these things before, and he was afraid that saying them too much would offend the Sage of Langya.

"Good, very good. Zhenwu made the right choice in selecting you as the Lord of Immortal Origin. To possess such strength at the second level of the Super Realm is truly remarkable, even if you were placed in the Immortal Origin Holy Land thousands of years ago..."

Suddenly, on the battlefield between Lin Yun and the Sage of Langya, the Sage of Langya retreated sharply, looking at Lin Yun with an icy expression, and said coldly.

Although it was meant to praise Lin Yun's strength, the statement didn't seem like a compliment at all.

He didn't want to continue fighting. Lin Yun's strength was not much worse than his. Even if he defeated Lin Yun again, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him. There was no point in continuing the fight. On the contrary, it might attract the return of the True Martial Saint.

The True Martial Saint Lord has not yet left this universe, and he is still very wary of the True Martial Saint Lord.

"The strength of the Sage of Langya has truly broadened my horizons!" Lin Yun stopped what he was doing and said with a slight narrowing of his eyes.

He was somewhat confused. When he first met Li Chu and when Li Chu first plotted against him, his strength was still very weak. At the very least, compared to this Sage of Langya, he was like an ant.

He didn't understand where he had offended the Sage of Langya, causing the Sage to send Li Chu to scheme against him like that.

"Could it be that back then, the Holy Mother and the True Martial Saint King already planned for me to become the Lord of the Immortal Origin Holy Land? If I become the Lord of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, will it affect his cultivation resources?" Lin Yun thought to himself, finding it hard to believe.

He had experienced breaking through to the Super Realm, and he knew very well how difficult it was to break through. At that time, he was still far from the Super Realm, and his ability to fight against opponents of higher levels was not high. It was hard to predict what the future held.

He simply couldn't believe that at that time, the Holy Mother and the True Martial Saint King had designated him as the new Lord of the Immortal Source.

"Or, we could let Lin Yun join the plan..." Seeing that Lin Yun's attitude had softened slightly, the Sage of Langya had a sudden thought.

However, he dismissed the idea in the next moment, shaking his head slightly: "No, Lin Yun is very strong, and he has never broken through to a new level or absorbed the energy that descends from heaven and earth when breaking through to a new level... If he were to participate in the plan, he could obtain the energy that descends from heaven and earth all by himself, so how could he possibly be willing to share it with others? Let alone give me most of the energy!"

"That's the only way. And I have to be faster. This Lin Yun's strength is comparable to that of a mid-level Saint. If he is taught the method to break through the new Heaven by Zhenwu, he is very likely to break through the new Heaven. By then, it will be too late..." After a pause, Saint Langya continued to think.

With this in mind, his conviction quickly grew stronger.

"Now, I'm going to travel to distant places. Please go ahead!" With that thought, the Sage of Langya glanced at Lin Yun and said indifferently.

"Li Chu, let's go!" The next moment, the Sage of Langya released a powerful force that enveloped Li Chu and said.

"Buzz—"

A surge of spatial power appeared, attempting to teleport the Sage of Langya and the Crown Prince away.

Although Li Chu was unwilling, he realized that it would be difficult for the Sage of Langya to take down Lin Yun, so he could only accept his fate.

"boom!"

Before Langya Saint and Li Chu could teleport away, Lin Yun used a force to break through their bodies, rendering Langya Saint's teleportation technique ineffective.

"Sage of Langya, you haven't answered my question yet. Were you the one who plotted against me earlier?" Lin Yun said in a deep voice.

"It wasn't me!" When he saw Lin Yun interrupt his teleportation technique, the Langya Saint's face suddenly darkened, but then the dark look on his face slowly faded, and he became calm and said indifferently.

As the Sage of Langya spoke, Lin Yun kept his eyes fixed on him, carefully sensing the spiritual aura emanating from him.

"Then this is Li Chu's private matter. I request that the Sage of Langya hand this person over to me for disposal!" Lin Yun said after a moment of silence.

When the Sage of Langya spoke, he did not deliberately conceal the spiritual aura he exuded. He vaguely sensed that the Sage of Langya was not lying. If so, he would understand why the Sage of Langya had schemed against him when he was still weak.

It wasn't Langya who made the move; it was Li Chu's personal action. At the time, although his strength was not as great as Li Chu's, it wasn't far off. If the Holy Mother and Zhenwu Saint King had favored him, it might have really affected Li Chu's interests.

Just like the special resources that the Holy Mother and the True Martial Saint King told him, which could allow him to increase his strength to another level.

Now, he has become the Lord of the Immortal Source. The True Martial Saint Lord has transmitted some information about the Immortal Source Holy Land to him. He already knows that the special resource mentioned by the Holy Mother and the True Martial Saint Lord is real, and he knows what it is.

However, what the Holy Mother and Zhenwu Shengjun said earlier was somewhat exaggerated.

That special resource could only raise his realm by one level, but it could not raise the realm of the Langya Saint by one level.

It makes sense when you think about it; he's only at the second level of the Super Realm, and the next level up is only the third level of the Super Realm.

The Sage of Langya is at the level of a superior sage, and above that is the peak sage.

The resources required for the two are vastly different.
