“It’s different, it’s different…” Shi Nantian just shook his head and kept saying, but he couldn’t explain how it was different.
"Kill!" On the other side, Lin Yun said coldly without saying anything more.
A chilling aura instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, penetrating the hearts of every enemy present.
The twelve zodiac beasts in the distance all changed their expressions slightly. It seemed that this young man's strength had become even greater?
The next moment, reality seemed to confirm their feelings. A terrifying, overwhelming attack rapidly pressed down on them, its power far exceeding that of their previous battles against the enemy.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
One by one, the twelve zodiac beasts exploded. Even the two superior divine-level zodiac beasts lost all their life force after their bodies exploded. Two more zodiac beasts perished.
"Buzz!"
On the other side, the Blood Prison Sword in Lin Yun's hand trembled violently, releasing a dazzling crimson light. Just now, from within the immense power, a crimson force covered the twelve zodiac beasts, and the power that killed the two zodiac beasts was the force that Lin Yun unleashed using the Blood Prison Sword.
At this moment, the Blood Prison Sword was rapidly refining all the power of the two Zodiac Beasts, and Lin Yun's aura and the Blood Prison Sword's aura increased rapidly in the process.
"What?"
"Two more people have fallen!"
"not good!"
The remaining twelve zodiac animals were all shocked to see this.
How long has this battle even been going on? Four of the twelve zodiac beasts have already fallen!
Although the four who fell were only at the upper-level divine realm, with the remaining eight of them joining forces, those four upper-level divine realm beings were not so easy to kill!
Furthermore, when the twelve zodiac beasts fight, they do use battle formations. Moreover, the powers of the twelve zodiac beasts are naturally compatible, and they have various supernatural abilities that complement each other, making the combined power of them even stronger!
Now that four of them have perished, the strength of the remaining eight has also been greatly reduced. Its significance far exceeds that of the four superior god-level companions killed by the other side!
If this continues, it won't be long before one of the remaining eight of them perishes!
Thinking this, the remaining eight zodiac animals tensed up and became fully prepared.
"Buzz—rumble—"
On the other side, many new formations were generated, constantly resisting Qinglian Divine Lord's attempts to destroy the formations. At the same time, many formations covered Qinglian Divine Lord in the center, preventing him from leaving.
"Is this... a precaution you've been taking all along? It seems His Highness the Crown Prince... has long suspected me? Even coming to rescue me! His Highness the Crown Prince truly lives up to his royal lineage. While you demand our loyalty, aren't you also wary of us? What right do you have to demand our utmost loyalty?"
His Majesty seems to trust me a lot, but if he hadn't harbored a sliver of doubt about me back then, would he have transferred me away? Would I have been trapped by the God Emperor of the Later God Clan Dynasty? And why did we suffer such a crushing defeat in that great war? Speaking of which... I bear responsibility, but doesn't His Majesty bear any responsibility as well?
Back then, I said that His Majesty should not trust the acquired gods so much. If His Majesty had listened to my advice, how could our innate gods have fallen to this state?
Hehe! Haha!
Right now, I'm just trying my best to save the remaining innate gods from danger!
"It was never me who brought our primordial gods to this state!"
As Qinglian Divine Lord attacked, he glanced at Lin Yun within the formation, a self-deprecating smile on his face. The smile grew louder and louder until he nearly went mad.
"You should not have the heart to harm others, but you must have the heart to guard against others. Don't you understand this principle, Lord Qinglian?"
If you don't understand, why did you doubt the powerful members of the Acquired God Clan in the first place? If it was because your father had even the slightest distrust of you that you betrayed him now, then wasn't it because of your distrust in the first place that the powerful members of the Acquired God Clan rebelled?
So, aren't you the ones who truly brought the Primordial Gods to this point?
Now, yet here they are, spouting such lofty words—how laughable!
Lin Yun looked coldly at the Azure Lotus God and said.
These words are not meant to refute the other party, but to clarify one's own mind, and even to "disrupt" the other party's mind. Psychological warfare is also a kind of battle. Strong spirit means strong strength, and insufficient spirit means insufficient strength.
Therefore, a major war often requires some justification. If the justification is insufficient, the war will not be waged, because in a major war, every bit of strength is extremely important. The victor is king and the loser is a bandit. It is very possible that the slight difference in the odds of winning or losing can lead to the defeat or victory of the entire war, thus creating the difference between heaven and hell.
As the saying goes, one step forward is heaven, one step back is hell.
Once a major war begins, it cannot be easily stopped. It is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you will fall behind. You must keep moving forward until victory is achieved. You cannot stop or retreat, otherwise, you may face utter ruin.
The same principle applies to even a small-scale battle.
"Shi Nantian! You conspired with the Azure Lotus Divine Lord to bring me here into a life-or-death crisis. What is your punishment? Was your conversation with the Azure Lotus Divine Lord just an act, merely a delaying tactic? If you truly still care about the Primordial God Clan and are loyal to my royal family, then you shouldn't hesitate to immediately deal with the Azure Lotus Divine Lord!" Lin Yun then turned slightly to look at Shi Nantian and shouted.
"Your Highness... I wasn't... performing just now..." Hearing Lin Yun's words from afar, Shi Nantian's face turned pale, and he murmured absentmindedly.
Although he wasn't acting, he did indeed conspire with the Azure Lotus God to lure the Crown Prince here, putting him in a life-or-death crisis.
This chase was actually orchestrated by the Azure Lotus God.
It's easy to imagine how dangerous this battle was.
His conversation with the Azure Lotus Divine Lord just now did indeed delay the time.
Lin Yun's words left him speechless.
At that moment, he felt extremely guilty.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yun's previous life was actually the Crown Prince of their Primordial God Clan royal family.
No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince saved him several times when he was in danger.
On the other hand, what did he do?
Time and time again, they have put His Highness the Crown Prince in danger!
Back then, when His Highness the Crown Prince was unwilling to return to their Innate God Clan base, he actually harbored some resentment towards His Highness the Crown Prince and was somewhat dissatisfied with His Highness the Crown Prince's suspicion of the powerful figures in their Innate God Clan base.
Now it seems... how accurate His Highness the Crown Prince's judgment was.
How wise is His Highness's decision!
The Azure Lotus God Lord... had actually already pledged allegiance to the Acquired God Clan!
Qinglian Divine Lord is one of the remaining leaders of the innate gods who are still resisting the acquired gods. He can even be said to be the strongest leader in the shadows. He is actually already a member of the acquired gods!
How ridiculous!
That said, the remaining innate gods had long been oppressed by the acquired gods. In fact, if the acquired god dynasty found the base of the innate gods, it could easily annihilate the remaining innate gods who were still resisting!
However, the Azure Lotus God Lord was still leading them in a very serious manner... Why was he doing this?
Could it be that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord already knew that someone from their Primordial Divine Clan royal family had been reincarnated, and that there was a high probability that they would succeed? And so, he had been waiting here all along?
This is terrifying to think about!
Shi Nantian's heart skipped a beat.
They were so foolish to have been deceived by the Azure Lotus God for so long!
They're all accomplices!
"Azure Lotus God, you deserve to die! You deserve to die!!" Thinking this, Shi Nantian raised his eyes, looked at Azure Lotus God, and roared with bloodshot eyes.
"boom!"
The next moment, Shi Nantian burned his primordial power and attacked Qinglian Divine Lord with all his might.
At the same time, Shi Nantian roared, "Your Highness, I, Shi Nantian, have been misled by the treacherous Qinglian, causing Your Highness to enter a dangerous situation! However, please believe me, Your Highness, that I, Shi Nantian, am completely innocent! Now, I, Shi Nantian, will risk my life to hold back the treacherous Qinglian, and I urge Your Highness to leave this place immediately!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With a roar, Shi Nantian and Qinglian Divine Lord had already clashed.
By burning his primordial power on a large scale, Shi Nantian's strength at this moment was not much weaker than that of the Azure Lotus Divine Lord.
"Shi Nantian, stop! If this continues, you will die soon, do you know that?" Qinglian Divine Lord's expression changed drastically as he blocked Shi Nantian's attacks while shouting angrily.
"As long as it gives His Highness the Crown Prince a chance to live, what does it matter if I die?" Shi Nantian laughed.
"Foolish! I have never openly pledged allegiance to the Acquired God Clan Dynasty. Why do you think that is? Isn't it so that you can gradually accept the Acquired God Clan Dynasty? So that the Innate God Clan and the Acquired God Clan can truly merge? Shi Nantian, you are a superior god, and the chief of the Shi Clan. Even if you enter the Acquired God Clan Dynasty, you will not be a lower-level god! Don't make a mistake, or you will harm yourself and countless lives of your Shi Clan!" Qinglian Divine Lord rebuked.
"Haha, I thought you hadn't openly pledged allegiance to the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty, but were actually plotting against His Highness the Crown Prince and the others! Even His Majesty the Divine Emperor! Waiting for them to come to you, then capturing or killing them, wouldn't that be a great achievement? Entering the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty with such a great achievement, how glorious would that be? Perhaps, at that time, you, Azure Lotus Divine Lord, would still be a high and mighty being in the Later Heaven Divine Clan! Azure Lotus Divine Lord, neither of us are fools, don't say such childish things!" Shi Nantian laughed maniacally.
"puff!"
Suddenly, Shi Nantian spat out a mouthful of blood. His battle with the Azure Lotus Divine Lord had injured him, but his strength had not diminished at all. On the contrary, it had increased significantly, and his battle with the Azure Lotus Divine Lord had become even more fierce.
"This is bad! The Azure Lotus Divine Lord is entangled, and these people's strength has increased significantly. I'm afraid we'll suffer heavy losses when the imperial court comes to support us..." Upon seeing this, the twelve zodiac beasts' expressions changed slightly, and one of them whispered.
"As expected of the Crown Prince of the Primordial God Dynasty! We didn't see how he fared in the battle hundreds of millions of years ago, but we never imagined that after his reincarnation, he would possess such strength and gather such a large number and quality of Ghost Cultivators at the Divine Realm!" One of the twelve Zodiac Beasts said solemnly.
Previously, he sensed that the opponent's strength was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary peak Divine Realm cultivator. It was only by relying on the power of battle techniques, along with the presence of so many powerful Ghost Cultivator Divine Realm cultivators, and by taking them by surprise, that he was able to suppress them so effectively.
Even so, he didn't think that once they realized what was happening, the other party could do to them.
They immediately sent a telepathic message to the outside world to attack the formation, only because they feared that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord inside the formation might make a move, or that the opponent might have some other tricks up his sleeve. They believed that a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall, or that there was no need to take unnecessary risks.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse.
They were overjoyed to learn that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord was one of their own.
Unexpectedly, this Crown Prince of the Primordial God Clan and his entourage had been hiding immense power. Now that the Azure Lotus God Lord was being held back, they were suddenly and forcefully suppressed by the opponent, causing two more of their twelve Zodiac Beasts to perish in an instant.
Now, he sensed that each of the two bodies of the Crown Prince of the Primordial God Clan Dynasty, reincarnated as such, seemed to possess power far exceeding that of ordinary peak-level gods, which made his mood extremely heavy.
"With two more peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators, they're already difficult to deal with. And the Crown Prince's two bodies have increased his strength by more than 20% or 30%..." The Zodiac Beast glanced at the two additional peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators in the formation and thought to itself.
“Since this matter was designed by the Azure Lotus God, and since the Azure Lotus God has already pledged allegiance to our Post-Heaven God Clan Dynasty, then the higher-ups of our Post-Heaven God Clan Dynasty should know about this matter. Our higher-ups may have already taken action. We only need to delay for a little longer…” One of the twelve zodiac beasts looked at his companions and transmitted his voice.
"good!"
"Just a little more delay would be fine!"
"This Crown Prince of the Primordial God Clan is simply too powerful..."
The other twelve zodiac animals communicated with each other, and some of them couldn't help but complain about Lin Yun's strength again.
Even compared to the hundreds of peak gods of their acquired god race, the opponent's strength was still formidable. What was even more remarkable was that the opponent actually had two bodies, which was terrifying. With the two bodies working together, they were comparable to the most outstanding peak gods.
I'm afraid even the Azure Lotus Divine Lord beside him is no match for this Crown Prince of the Primordial Divine Clan Dynasty.
"His Highness the Crown Prince's strength..." On the other side, Shi Nantian was also very shocked when he saw Lin Yun's strength.
He had witnessed Lin Yun's last move; back then, Lin Yun was far less powerful than he is now.
I also saw Lin Yun make a move the time before last. At that time, Lin Yun's two bodies were only at the lower-level divine realm and the middle-level divine realm, and his overall strength was not even at the ordinary peak divine realm.
How long has it been? His Highness the Crown Prince's strength has grown to such a terrifying level?
Thinking this, his heart quickly felt like it was bleeding!
Because he remembered that His Highness the Crown Prince had said that this was a period of improvement for His Highness's strength!
It could take anywhere from several decades to around ten thousand years!
In just over a decade, His Highness the Crown Prince has grown to such a level of strength. If His Highness were given another ten thousand years... or even just a few decades, how terrifying would His Highness's strength become?
Currently, His Highness the Crown Prince is only at the Upper God Realm, yet he possesses strength comparable to a very powerful Peak God Realm expert. This is the strength of just one body; both bodies are at the same level. If the two bodies were to join forces, their strength would be even greater!
If both of His Highness the Crown Prince's bodies break through to the peak of the Divine Realm, how strong would they be?
Perhaps, by then, His Highness the Crown Prince alone will be able to utterly defeat the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty!
At the very least, the Later God Dynasty would be absolutely unable to do anything to His Highness the Crown Prince. In that case, they would be extremely wary of the Crown Prince's terrifying strength and would no longer dare to recklessly attack the Innate Gods. Their Innate Gods would then have the capital to establish themselves again in this world!
hateful!
He completely disrupted everything!
He foolishly believed the words of the Azure Lotus God, leading His Highness the Crown Prince and the last glimmer of hope of their Primordial God Clan into such a life-or-death crisis!
"Ah—Qinglian! Die!"
Thinking this, Shi Nantian became even more frantic, rapidly burning more of his primordial power as he attacked Qinglian Divine Lord.
