"The twelve zodiac beasts truly live up to their reputation as wondrous creatures of heaven and earth, each possessing extraordinary talents and divine abilities... They were caught off guard earlier, but now, fighting with their lives on the line, the combined strength of four peak-level divine realm beings and four level-one divine realm beings is probably equivalent to eight peak-level divine realm beings joining forces..."
On the other side, in the core battle zone, Lin Yun, with a solemn expression, continued to attack while secretly thinking. [Read the latest chapters on Baidu Search]
Fortunately, they managed to defeat four of them in succession. Otherwise, if all twelve zodiac beasts were combined, it would be equivalent to twelve peak-level divine beings joining forces. In that case, even though they were strong, they might not have been a match for them.
Even now, they seem to have a strong suppression of the other side, but it won't be easy to kill one or two more.
"God King Haotian, the two peak God Realm experts, Three-Eyed and I, will hold them off. Then, the other God Realm experts will protect you. You should start preparing to retreat..." Lin Yun said to God King Haotian via telepathy.
"Your Highness, you mustn't do that!" Upon hearing Lin Yun's telepathic message, the Heavenly King Haotian exclaimed in surprise and quickly denied it.
"There's no time left. It's settled then. I have a way to survive. The two peak Divine Realm cultivators, San Yan and the others, both achieved their Divine Realm status through refining their Divine Sparks. Even if they perish, as long as their souls enter the Netherworld, I can guide them and help them refine their Divine Sparks to reach the peak Divine Realm again. You are different from the other thirty Level Divine Realm cultivators. You are a Primordial Divine Race. If you perish, I'm not sure if I can find your soul in the Netherworld. The other thirty Level Divine Realm cultivators all have six-pattern Divine Sparks. Once they perish and enter the Netherworld, they will become Acquired Ghost Cultivators. Their six-pattern Divine Spark talents will dissipate, and they will become ordinary cultivators..." Lin Yun transmitted his voice in a deep voice.
"Your Highness..." The Heavenly King felt extremely heavy-hearted and full of regret.
Those thirty ghost cultivators at the Divine Realm level, even if they perished, could be resurrected in the Netherworld. Even if they lost their six-patterned divine talent, it wasn't without hope of redemption. Moreover, there are far too many ghost cultivators and beings in the Netherworld who possess six-patterned divine talent and potential.
He knew that Lin Yun's main purpose was to ensure his safe return to the Netherworld.
As soon as he left, he also took away thirty Divine Realm cultivators, leaving only Lin Yun with two Divine Realm bodies and two peak Divine Realm ghost cultivators.
Therefore, dealing with these twelve zodiac beasts will be more difficult, and the final evacuation will be even less safe.
If it weren't for his insistence on staying... His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation...
"You don't need to overthink it. Someone will have to leave beforehand. I'll feel more at ease if you leave with them, because I plan to have you take my two magic treasures back to the Netherworld..." Seemingly sensing the change in Haotian God King's mind and wanting to comfort him, Lin Yun glanced at Haotian God King and said.
The two magical treasures are naturally the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Haotian God-King is a god-level being in the Great World of Living Beings, and a powerful god-level being at that. He cannot enter the Netherworld casually; he must use the Heavenly Dao Tower and the power of Yin-Yang balance to help him.
He has already left a yin-yang balancing force inside the Heavenly Dao Tower, so there shouldn't be any problem for the Jade Emperor to enter the Netherworld.
Not only does the Heavenly Dao Tower need to be entered into the Netherworld by the Haotian God King, but he is also unsure whether he will perish here this time. Therefore, he cannot keep the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Dao Tower with him.
Otherwise, the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Dao Tower will inevitably fall into the hands of the Later God Clan Dynasty, which would be a very serious matter.
"Buzz!"
As he spoke, Lin Yun waved his hand, and the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Dao Tower were thrown onto the body of the Haotian God King. At the same time, the hands of his two bodies were replaced by other magical treasures.
"These two magical treasures are extremely important, even more so than my and Sanyan's lives. This matter is of utmost importance, and I entrust it to you..." Lin Yun said, looking at Haotian God King.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely bring them safely to the Netherworld!" The Heavenly God King was shocked and quickly transmitted his voice.
The next moment, Haotian God-King, knowing the gravity of the situation, did not delay and immediately turned around to lead the other thirty Divine Realm cultivators to retreat outside the formation.
"Boom—Boom—Boom—"
At the same time, Lin Yun acted swiftly, unleashing even greater power to compensate for the absence of Haotian God King who had taken the other thirty Divine Realm experts with him.
"Hmm? Some of the powerful figures from that time have left?"
"Those thirty ghost cultivators at the Divine Realm level have left?"
"It must be that those thirty ghost cultivators at the Divine Realm didn't want to perish here with this Crown Prince of the Primordial God Clan, so they left alone..."
"That's right, our dynasty's experts, hurry over! If they don't leave soon, they'll all perish here! They must have realized this!"
"These god-level ghost cultivators should just leave. This reincarnation of the Crown Prince of the Primordial God Clan is the real big fish. As long as he doesn't leave..."
"Yes, it's good that those Divine Realm ghost cultivators left. We're spared from further danger. This group of Divine Realm cultivators was too strong. Otherwise, even if we held out until the Imperial Dynasty's experts arrived to help, we would probably have suffered heavy losses..."
Upon seeing this, the remaining twelve zodiac animals were initially taken aback, and then they all whispered to each other.
In a short period of time, four people have perished. They are truly afraid and do not want to suffer any more unnecessary damage.
Fortunately, they are only thirty ghost cultivators at the Divine Realm, with at most one more Haotian God King. As long as the reincarnation of that innate divine prince is here, it doesn't matter if they escape.
Moreover, whether the other party can escape is another matter.
This array space must be being watched by the high-ranking officials of their dynasty. When these people leave the array, they will also be watched by the powerful figures of their dynasty. The Great World of Living Beings is neither small nor large. Some beings at the Divine Realm level are being watched by many peak Divine Realm experts of their dynasty. Where can they escape to?
Perhaps they wouldn't even last as long as they stayed inside the formation; leaving would mean an even faster death.
Therefore, they had even less reason to stop the other party from leaving.
Thinking of this, some of the twelve zodiac beasts glanced at the Azure Lotus God on the other side of the formation.
He couldn't help but show disdain. This person claimed to be a peak-level expert of the Innate God Clan, capable of fighting two or three opponents at once, yet he was being entangled for so long and unable to break free from a mere Equal God Realm cultivator.
If those ghost cultivators at the Divine Realm escaped, how could the Azure Lotus Divine Lord not bear any responsibility?
Deep down, they looked down on a traitor like Qinglian Divine Lord, especially now that he was behaving so uselessly.
They were even a little angry with Qinglian Divine Lord, who had been entangled with a mere Divine Realm cultivator for so long. If he had come to their aid from the beginning, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state, and perhaps their four companions wouldn't have perished.
In that case, the current situation might be completely different.
What a piece of trash.
Thinking of this, they all cursed inwardly.
The strongest remaining leader of the Primordial God Clan couldn't even win over a single subordinate.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better if the Azure Lotus Divine Lord and that other Divine Realm cultivator helped them together?
"Azure Lotus Divine Lord, we are all burning our primordial power, why don't you burn yours? You, a peak Divine Realm expert, actually took so long to deal with a mere Equal Divine Realm expert. Could it be that you outwardly pledge allegiance to our Acquired Divine Race, but inwardly you still favor the Innate Divine Race? Are you deliberately letting them escape?" Suddenly, a massive serpent attacked Lin Yun while its cold eyes fixed on Azure Lotus Divine Lord within the formation, speaking in a sinister tone.
"The power of origin cannot be burned at will. If you want to burn it, that's your business! The twelve zodiac beasts of the acquired god race, known as the number one group of the acquired god race dynasty, were actually defeated by two peak god realms and some level god realms. It seems that the twelve zodiac beasts of the acquired god race are nothing special!" Qinglian Divine Lord glanced at the other party and said indifferently.
As he spoke, he simply quickened his attacks on Shi Nantian, without making any significant changes.
“Nantian, it’s not too late for you to stop now. I can lead you into the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty. If you continue to be stubborn, don’t blame me for not showing any mercy!” Then, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord looked at Shi Nantian and said again.
"Don't even think about making me betray my clan like you!" Shi Nantian roared, his eyes bloodshot.
He also saw the situation on the battlefield nearby.
Seeing Lin Yun and two peak-level Divine Realm Ghost Cultivators stay behind to cover their retreat, while Haotian God King and the other Divine Realm Ghost Cultivators left, he felt even more pained.
How could he not see that if things continued like this, the probability of Lin Yun perishing here was even greater?
Lin Yun is the reincarnation of their innate divine prince, but because of his unintentional involvement in setting a trap, he is about to perish here.
Even at the very end, His Highness the Crown Prince was still thinking of covering the retreat for his other companions, and for the Jade Emperor, the God King of their innate divine race.
What a magnificent act this is!
Before the great war between the Primordial Gods and the Acquired Gods, he had little contact with the Crown Prince from his previous life. However, his recent encounters have made him realize that this Crown Prince is a very great and worthy prince of their respect.
This is the hope of their innate divine race, their great fortune.
However... because of him, this glimmer of hope, this prince whom they revered, was about to perish.
At that moment, he was filled with such regret that his heart felt like it was bleeding.
At this point, the Azure Lotus God Lord still wants him to defect to the Acquired God Clan? To become a traitor together? What a dream!
"Your Highness, I, Shi Nantian, am so sorry. If I am reborn, I will repay you by serving you like a cow or a horse. Please leave now..." Shi Nantian roared.
"Buzz!"
With a roar, Shi Nantian charged toward Qinglian Divine Lord. At the same time, his body flashed with a terrifying aura, as he was about to self-destruct.
"Shi Nantian, do you really want to die?" Qinglian Divine Lord's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily.
He had said so much to Shi Nantian before, and had always shown him mercy, because he wanted to subdue Shi Nantian. As a member of the Innate God Clan, Shi Nantian would inevitably be ostracized when he entered the Post-Heaven God Clan Dynasty. At this time, a member of the Innate God Clan at the Divine Realm level would still be very useful to him.
It now appears that the other party remains stubbornly unrepentant.
The core battlefield.
Lin Yun looked up and saw this scene, his expression calm.
Right now, they can't even protect their own safety, let alone Shi Nantian's.
He had long realized that Shi Nantian had probably been deceived by the Azure Lotus Divine Lord and was genuinely on his side.
However, some things have been done.
Ultimately, this whole affair was caused by Shi Nantian, so let's consider his self-destruction and demise as the price he paid for it!
"If I can find your soul in the Netherworld, I can guide you..." Lin Yun said silently.
Then, Lin Yun turned his head and looked in another direction.
The Heavenly God King and the other thirty ghost cultivators at the Divine Realm departed from that direction.
This was a spot he had specifically chosen; not far away was a passage connecting to the underworld.
In a short time, the Heavenly King and the thirty ghost cultivators at the Divine Realm level can enter the Netherworld from there.
It's unclear whether other powerful figures from the Later Heaven Divine Clan Dynasty will appear to obstruct us at this time.
"Hopefully, they can enter the Netherworld safely..." Lin Yunxin sighed softly to herself.
"boom--"
On the other side, Shi Nantian finally succeeded in self-destructing. The terrifying power left Qinglian Divine Lord, who hadn't had time to retreat far, in a rather disheveled state. The array space where the two were located also experienced a great tear.
"That's ruthless..."
The twelve zodiac animals' expressions changed slightly upon seeing this.
These strong individuals possess remarkable vitality; even if they suffer a severe beating, their chances of survival are still quite high.
But such a self-destruction would almost certainly result in death.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, powerful individuals like them would not do such a thing.
However, it hasn't been long since that person at the Divine Realm did this, and it was on the basis that surrendering would allow them to live, or even live a good life.
"A madman, a complete madman..."
Some of the twelve zodiac animals thought to themselves.
Seeing that the battle was going badly, they immediately began to burn their source power. They considered themselves ruthless, but compared to their opponent, they were nothing.
"You told me to hold back before, hoping to subdue them? Now, you've lost everything!"
"The so-called strongest leader among the remaining innate gods, he only recruits subordinates, but they would rather self-destruct than follow him. What a failure!"
Some of the twelve zodiac beasts looked at the disheveled Azure Lotus God and sneered inwardly, thinking disdainfully.
"Azure Lotus God, Shi Nantian has already fallen. Why don't you hurry over and help us deal with these guys?" The Serpent looked at Azure Lotus God and said in a deep voice.
In the end, this whole affair was a trap set by the Azure Lotus God, and no matter what, the Azure Lotus God deserves a significant share of the credit.
However, if they could capture this Crown Prince of the Primordial God Clan before their dynasty's powerful figures arrived to help, they wouldn't need to share much of the credit with the dynasty's reinforcements.
The Acquired God Clan consists of ordinary cultivators who broke through to the God Realm. They come from all over the world and from all sorts of races, making them a diverse group. Naturally, there is fierce competition within the Acquired God Clan Dynasty. Resources are limited, and the greater the merit, the more resources they can obtain.
"My mission is merely to lure out the murderer who killed Chenlong. My mission does not include taking action against the murderer!" Qinglian Divine Lord coldly observed the scene and said, without making a move.
