"Oh no, those two peak-level Divine Realm Ghost Cultivators are trying to escape!"
"Should we stop them or not?"
"How can we stop him? This Crown Prince of the Primordial God Clan has begun to burn his primordial power!"
On the battlefield, the twelve zodiac animals were all astonished by what they saw.
They hadn't expected that it would be this Crown Prince of the Innate God Clan who unleashed his power to cover the retreat of those two peak-level God Realm ghost cultivators. They were even wondering how they would respond if those two peak-level God Realm ghost cultivators were to cover the retreat for this Crown Prince of the Innate God Clan. Just now, they were discussing this telepathically!
Now, reality is the opposite, leaving them somewhat at a loss for what to do.
The main issue is that Lin Yun's sudden burst of power has already caused minor damage to their combined defenses. If they were to intercept those two peak-level Divine Realm Ghost Cultivators, it might cause them considerable losses.
"Azure Lotus Divine Lord, quickly stop those two peak Divine Realm ghost cultivators!" The Serpent turned its head, looked at Azure Lotus Divine Lord, and shouted.
"If you don't take action now and let those two peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators escape, be careful we report to His Majesty the God Emperor and have him punish you!" The other twelve zodiac beasts echoed.
Hearing the voices of the twelve zodiac beasts, the Azure Lotus God frowned slightly.
Previously, he could refrain from attacking Lin Yun and those two peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators. It wasn't hard to explain afterward. He was once a top expert of the Innate Divine Clan and had a very deep relationship with the royal family of the Innate Divine Clan. Attracting Lin Yun, the reincarnation of the Crown Prince, was already enough. Attacking them again would have been going too far.
He was at the peak of the divine realm, and not just any ordinary peak of the divine realm. Even if he joined the Later God Clan Dynasty, he should still receive some respect and privileges.
Ultimately, the twelve zodiac beasts could still handle it, but Lin Yun and those two peak-level god-realm ghost cultivators would most likely not escape.
As for the Haotian God King and the thirty superior god-level ghost cultivators who left earlier, they were still entangled with Shi Nantian at that time and could not make any additional moves, which can also be explained.
But now, those two peak Divine Realm experts are about to escape, and he's just standing here idly. If he doesn't take action, it would be a bit unreasonable.
He could refrain from attacking the reincarnation of the Crown Prince of the Primordial God Clan, but those two peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators had absolutely no connection with the Primordial God Clan, at least not yet.
So, will he make a move or not?
On the battlefield, Lin Yun did not say anything.
At this point, anything he said would be wrong; whether or not the Azure Lotus Divine Lord would intervene depended on the other party's attitude.
If, for example, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord originally did not intend to intervene, but because he spoke, he ended up taking action instead, then it would be a case of losing more than he gained.
At this moment, the only thing he could do was to focus all his efforts on dealing with the twelve zodiac beasts, so that they would be unable to stop the Three-Eyed Emperor and his group.
"die!"
After a few rapid attacks, Lin Yun suddenly shouted, breaking through the combined defense of the twelve zodiac beasts and striking two of them, both at the superior divine realm.
"Bang! Bang!"
The bodies of these two superior-level divine beasts were immediately destroyed by Lin Yun.
Unfortunately, without the Blood Prison Sword, their vitality was not greatly damaged.
"Boom! Boom!"
Ignoring the attacks from the surrounding twelve zodiac beasts, Lin Yun immediately flashed to the side of the two zodiac beasts whose bodies had been blown apart, and struck them again with his palms. Instantly, the bodies of the two zodiac beasts were continuously blown apart, and their life force began to decrease rapidly.
"What a pity..." Lin Yun, covered in blood and suffering from the attacks of the other twelve zodiac beasts, thought regretfully.
Unfortunately, he gave the Blood Prison Sword to the Heavenly King Haotian; otherwise, he could have killed those two superior-level divine beasts in just a few moves.
Actually, they had a great start, killing two of the twelve zodiac beasts right from the beginning and then inflicting heavy losses on the other twelve zodiac beasts. At that rate, it wouldn't be impossible for them to kill all twelve zodiac beasts in a short time.
Unfortunately, the twelve zodiac beasts reacted extremely quickly, immediately burning their primal power.
Even so, if they really fight to the end, it's not impossible for them to kill all twelve zodiac beasts.
Because Lin Yun possesses a heaven-defying artifact like the Blood Prison Sword, his strength grows stronger with each battle, while his opponent's strength weakens. Furthermore, the surrounding area is covered by a powerful array, making it difficult for his opponent to escape. Ultimately, killing his opponent is almost inevitable.
However, two more unexpected events occurred.
First, the betrayal of the Azure Lotus Divine Lord. The Azure Lotus Divine Lord was not an ordinary peak divine realm being.
If they wait until the Azure Lotus God Lord has dealt with Shi Nantian before joining their battle, it will be much more difficult for them to deal with the Twelve Zodiac Beasts.
The Azure Lotus Divine Lord is a powerful peak-level divine realm cultivator, so dealing with a superior-level divine realm cultivator like Shi Nantian shouldn't be too difficult for him.
This was the first unexpected event.
The second unexpected factor was the presence of high-ranking officials from the Houtian Divine Clan Dynasty, who might be watching from outside the formation.
Other peak-level Divine Realm experts from the Divine Clan Dynasty could appear at any time and force their way into the formation. In that case, they would have no chance of killing the Twelve Zodiac Beasts.
After considering it, Lin Yun made the decision he had made earlier.
He covered the rear, ordering his remaining men to retreat in two groups, with as many as they could escape.
It's better than all of them perishing here in the end.
In particular, the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Dao Tower are of great significance, far exceeding the significance of thirty superior god-level ghost cultivators. If the Blood Prison Sword and the Heavenly Dao Tower were lost here, the loss would be too great.
In fact, when Lin Yun decided to come and support Qinglian Divine Lord, although he was somewhat wary, he was not entirely sure that Qinglian Divine Lord had any problems.
He thought that even if there were problems within the Primordial God Clan, they could have been resolved long ago. After all, many Primordial God Clan experts had already joined the Post-Heaven God Clan Dynasty. Even if there were still problems, they could be in other areas. And if other experts were involved, it was unlikely that it would be the Azure Lotus Divine Lord, the strongest remaining leader of the Primordial God Clan.
Furthermore, his father had told him that he could trust the Azure Lotus God.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought people to support Qinglian Divine Lord.
His idea was quite good. Although the twelve zodiac beasts were powerful, the power he carried was not weak either. Coupled with the powerful strength of the Azure Lotus Divine Lord, it was very possible that they could quickly kill the twelve zodiac beasts when caught off guard.
Even if we can't kill them all, killing most of them shouldn't be a problem.
Even if they escaped quickly at that time, they might not be able to react even if powerful figures from the Later God Dynasty were watching them.
Because they have an advantage: they can escape into the Netherworld, something that the powerful figures of the Later God Dynasty might not be able to think of.
pity……
Everything was shattered by that most uncertain idea!
The Azure Lotus God... has actually rebelled...
"Boom! Boom..."
While thinking this, Lin Yun attacked the two superior-level divine realm twelve zodiac beasts he had targeted with all his might, feeling extremely indignant.
It could have developed in a better direction... but it turned out like this...
It's impossible for him not to be angry.
"Azure Lotus Divine Lord, very good..." Lin Yun sneered inwardly.
Actually, he wasn't particularly angry about the Azure Lotus Divine Lord leading the remaining innate gods to surrender to the acquired gods' dynasty.
Even ants struggle to survive, let alone these gods who have lived for many years and can continue to live forever.
He wasn't a rigid person; the winner takes all, and the loser is condemned. The royal family of the Primordial Gods was no more, and the remaining Primordial Gods had allied themselves with the Acquired Gods, so it didn't matter.
However, the Azure Lotus God Lord should never have, absolutely never, conspired with the Later Heaven God Clan Dynasty to set a trap for him.
"Oh no! Lord Qinglian, please help us quickly!"
"Stop chasing those two peak-level Divine Realm Ghost Cultivators! Come help us! We, the Twelve Zodiac Beasts, owe you a favor!"
Just as the Azure Lotus God was hesitating about whether to attack the two departing peak-level ghost cultivators, the Twelve Zodiac Beasts suddenly exclaimed in alarm.
However, they underestimated Lin Yun's attack power, or perhaps they were distracted by the two departing peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators. At this moment, Lin Yun was relentlessly pursuing and attacking the two superior-level Divine Realm Zodiac Beasts, whose injuries were rapidly increasing. If this continued, they would be killed by Lin Yun in less than a breath.
At this moment, Lin Yun was acting like a madman, ignoring his own injuries and attacking the two superior-level divine realm twelve zodiac beasts. It was as if he wanted to drag the two superior-level divine realm twelve zodiac beasts down with him even in death, a situation that was beyond the expectations of all the twelve zodiac beasts.
Left with no other choice, they began to seek help from the Azure Lotus God.
Ultimately, no matter how strong or high-level the two escaped peak-level ghost cultivators were, they were not as important as the lives of their companions.
In this battle, four of the twelve zodiac beasts have already perished. If two more were to fall, the loss would be too great.
Although the losses were all in the upper-level divine realm, they were still hard for them to bear.
In comparison, their request for help from the Azure Lotus God was merely a loss of face.
What does this little bit of face matter if Qinglian Divine Lord agrees?
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? I'm just sitting here idly. If those two peak-level god-realm ghost cultivators escape, it will be a considerable disaster..." However, upon hearing the twelve zodiac beasts' plea for help, Qinglian Divine Lord, who hadn't yet decided whether to stop the two peak-level god-realm ghost cultivators, smiled slightly and said.
"boom!"
As he spoke, a divine power and a powerful force were brewing within him, giving the impression that he was about to attack the two departing peak-level divine realm ghost cultivators.
"I……"
Hearing the Azure Lotus God's utterly despicable words, the twelve zodiac beasts felt like vomiting blood; at this moment, they wanted to curse again.
How could they not tell that the Azure Lotus God was doing this on purpose?
Did they deliberately use their earlier words to shut them up?
"Lord Azure Lotus, we were wrong just now. We apologize to you here and beg you to help us immediately..."
"Indeed, the surrounding space is likely being watched by the higher-ups of our dynasty. Even if those two peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators manage to escape, they won't get far and will inevitably be captured. Azure Lotus Divine Lord only needs to deal with this Crown Prince of the Innate Divine Clan..."
"Indeed, the opponent is the Crown Prince of the Primordial God Clan. Now that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord has made a move, it is the perfect time to prove your loyalty to our dynasty. If His Majesty the Divine Emperor knew, he would likely value the Azure Lotus Divine Lord even more..."
However, the twelve zodiac animals had no choice but to be polite and offer their advice.
"Well... since I've already pledged allegiance to the Acquired God Clan, it's not good to be a double agent. It's fine if those two peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators escape, but if I sit and watch two more of the Twelve Zodiac Beasts die, I'm afraid I'll not only incur a great enmity with the Twelve Zodiac Beasts, but the higher-ups of the Acquired God Clan will also have a problem with me... Moreover, judging from His Highness the Crown Prince's appearance, he probably doesn't want me to take action against those two peak-level Divine Realm ghost cultivators..." Seeing this scene, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord sighed slightly and thought to himself.
call!
Having made his decision, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord no longer hesitated. He took a step forward, and the layers of array space in front of him shattered, instantly appearing between Lin Yun and the two superior divine realm twelve zodiac beasts.
"Bang!"
"boom!"
The next moment, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord unleashed a palm strike, instantly separating Lin Yun from the two superior-level divine realm twelve zodiac beasts.
"puff!"
As the two superior-level divine realm twelve zodiac beasts were separated, Lin Yun was sent flying backward, both of his bodies spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Azure Lotus God Lord!"
Lin Yun looked up at the Azure Lotus Divine Lord, a cold glint flashing deep in his eyes.
On the other side, the twelve zodiac beasts also took a slight breath. Earlier, they had seen Shi Nantian hold up the Azure Lotus God for a long time, and they were somewhat disdainful of the Azure Lotus God's strength.
As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no harm. The remaining six Zodiac Beasts, even with their full strength, could not separate Lin Yun from his two superior divine realm companions. However, the Azure Lotus Divine Lord separated Lin Yun from his two superior divine realm companions with just one palm strike.
Although it was partly due to Lin Yun's constant vigilance against them, and partly due to the fact that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord was the key force that determined the overwhelming power, it also shows that the Azure Lotus Divine Lord's power far surpassed that of any of them at the peak of the Divine Realm.
The Azure Lotus Divine Lord, a top expert of the Primordial God Clan, truly lived up to his reputation.
"kill!"
"Capture this man!"
The next moment, the twelve zodiac beasts seized the opportunity and attacked Lin Yun.
"Boom! Boom!"
The immense power surged towards Lin Yun's two bodies, but the burst of energy left him struggling to muster any greater strength, making him momentarily overwhelmed. Powerful attacks rained down upon him.
far away.
The Three-Eyed Emperor and another peak-level Divine Realm Ghost Cultivator, who had already escaped the formation, had been watching Lin Yun's battle with the Twelve Zodiac Beasts. Upon seeing this scene, they both paused, their hearts filled with intense emotions.
"grown ups!"
"Lord Blood Emperor!"
The Three-Eyed Emperor and another peak-level divine realm ghost cultivator whispered with tears in their eyes.
"Go! You all need to get out of here!"
Lin Yun didn't turn around. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the twelve zodiac beasts and the Azure Lotus God, and he roared in a hoarse voice.
"Boom! Boom!"
The next moment, Lin Yun's two bodies released even more powerful energy, as most of his original energy within him was burned up again. Lin Yun's two bodies attacked the Twelve Zodiac Beasts and the Azure Lotus God even more frantically.
Whew! Whew!
The Three-Eyed Emperor and another peak-level divine realm ghost cultivator gritted their teeth and ultimately left.
They have already escaped the formation, and it's too late for them to go back and support Lin Yun. It will only waste more time for them, and ultimately none of them will be able to escape.
