Within the crimson void in front of Lin Jinglong, crimson light, carrying heavenly fire and superimposed with countless other calamity-related primordial powers, surged towards him in the form of a pillar of fire.
And the group of Wanhuatang members behind him.
They had no time to react to those hundred-plus people.
When the pillar of fire passed in front of them, at least half of the people present were instantly burned to ashes.
The Heavenly Fire Origin that was refined and then released again by Lin Jinglong.
At this moment, it truly transformed into heavenly fire that burned everything!
Including Zhao Wuxing, this group of people were at least seriously injured, while half of them had been burned to ashes.
Suddenly, a chorus of mournful cries echoed from the sea.
Zhao Wuxing barely hovered on the sea, maintaining his state with his true energy, his expression one of utter shock.
"That can't be right, how could he be so strong?"
"Even the very essence of the Heavenly Fire was refined!"
"With such bizarre methods, wouldn't even the hall master be no match for him?"
Zhao Wuxing's face turned deathly pale.
As Lin Jinglong used his unleashed heavenly fire to slaughter his subordinates, the number of dead and wounded increased, and some even sank into the sea to escape downwards in order to protect themselves.
Zhao Wuxing didn't care about anything else.
After the initial shock, he decisively abandoned his remaining companions.
They fled to the rear as quickly as possible, attempting to return to Tianyi Longzang and seek help from Zhao Changsheng.
As he took out a jade slip and attempted to make contact.
Lin Jinglong had already dealt with the others nearby and began chasing after him.
Behind them, when the people of the ten Heavenly Dao clans arrived.
They also saw the few remaining floating corpses on the sea surface, as well as some ashes drifting in the air, and they all showed strange expressions.
"These are all people from Wanhua Hall, right? They ran into Lin Jinglong again; they just walked right into his trap!"
Shen Xiong Hua shook his head repeatedly.
It can only be said that Wanhuatang has had really bad luck.
They already had few elite troops left, and after this wave, it is estimated that they have no more than a hundred people left. Apart from the hall master Zhao Changsheng, some of the elite-level experts have probably all perished.
It's absolutely tragic!
After that, the group continued to follow in Lin Jinglong's footsteps.
As for Li Junshou, who had already escaped, he sped across the South China Sea at top speed, creating two ripples that spread out to the sides.
His face was also somewhat pale.
Because he had also sensed the fluctuations of heavenly fire coming from behind, indicating that an extremely fierce battle was taking place there.
But he didn't think Zhao Wuxing and his group were qualified to defeat Lin Jinglong. He was an old monster who had lived from ancient times to the present, and his vision was better than anyone else's.
In the past, he hid behind the scenes, escaping all the causes and effects of the past five thousand years, until he reappeared in the world when the heavens changed. It was because of his caution that he was able to live to this day.
It wasn't until Lin Jinglong appeared that he tasted defeat. So in his mind, Lin Jinglong's powerful image was still not as strong as the once invincible Lin Wudi.
It's not far off yet.
"That monster is probably catching up soon, we need to speed things up!"
In the midst of the chaos, Li Junshou seized the opportunity to escape the place.
Soon after, Zhao Wuxing finally appeared in the ripples on the sea he left behind. He was holding a jade slip and pleading for help from his brother in a mournful voice.
"Brother, Master, help!"
"Lin Jinglong is not like what you say at all!"
"His strength is terrifying. None of us are a match for him. He can even devour my Heavenly Fire Source and kill us all!"
Zhao Wuxing was on the verge of crying.
A somber voice came from the other end of the jade slip.
"Tell me right now what exactly happened!"
At this moment, inside the Tianyi Dragon Treasury, located on an unnamed island in the South Seas, Zhao Changsheng, standing before the secret treasure, had a very gloomy expression.
Although the surrounding area was covered by dense forest and seemed deserted, he had already sensed that in addition to himself, a large number of mysterious and powerful individuals had arrived.
The number of mysterious powerful figures appearing nearby at this moment, and their strength, far exceeded the scale of the two major forces, the Superpower Federation and the Elders' Council, that he had anticipated.
It seems that the ancient forces hidden behind the scenes have gradually awakened because of the appearance of Tianyi Longzang.
And they also turned their attention to this place.
Zhao Changsheng, who was the first to arrive at Tianyi Dragon's Lair and was located in front of the secret gate, inexplicably felt a cold sweat running down his back.
Whether it was his assessment of Lin Jinglong's strength or the allure of Tianyi Longzang to that group of powerful individuals, he clearly realized that his judgment had been flawed.
Just as he was waiting for Zhao Wuxing to give him a response.
Suddenly, a scream came from the other side.
The next voice that came through was Lin Jinglong's.
"Master Zhao, I've long admired your name. May I ask what your purpose is in sending your men to capture me and take me to the Heavenly Dragon Treasury?"
Lin Jinglong floated on the sea surface, and beneath his feet was a middle-aged man whose head and below were completely submerged in the water; it was Zhao Wuxing.
He tried to float to the surface and leave, but Lin Jinglong pushed him back down, filling his stomach with seawater. He then tried to leave from another direction, but was fiercely suppressed by Lin Jinglong's aura.
They didn't even have a chance to surface.
How is my brother doing now?
Zhao Changsheng did not directly respond to Lin Jinglong's question.
Lin Jinglong looked down at Zhao Wuxing, who was submerged in the sea.
"He is still alive."
"Fine, I can answer your question, but only if you don't hurt my brother!"
Zhao Changsheng still had feelings for Zhao Wuxing, otherwise he wouldn't have lent him the Heavenly Fire Origin, one of the strongest origins he possessed.
He even handed over the core of the source to Zhao Wuxing.
After Lin Jinglong agreed, he explained his purpose.
“Someone from Wanhua Hall went to the Eighth Demon Cave, found out about the environment there, and told me that the Eighth Demon Cave has the same restrictions as the Tianyi Dragon Treasury. And you are the only one in the world who has successfully entered the Eighth Demon Cave, so only you can help us open the Tianyi Dragon Treasury!”
Zhao Changsheng stated his conjecture quite frankly.
His goal in capturing Lin Jinglong alive was precisely this objective.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong finally confirmed his inner suspicions.
"It seems that the secret treasure was indeed left behind by Lin Wudi. I just wonder what exactly is inside. It can't possibly be a real ancient immortal, can it?"
Moreover, Lin Jinglong could not understand why, since a battle for the secrets of heaven had already taken place in ancient times, and Lin Wudi seemed to have seized the vast majority of the secrets of heaven with his invincible power, large amounts of secrets of heaven had been left behind in both the secret treasures of the South Seas and the demon caves of the Northern Region.
"Does this mean that Lin Wudi ultimately did not cross the Immortal Gate?"
