Seeing that Lin Jinglong seemed to intend to fight him, and even made a bold statement that if he didn't hand over the core fragment of the Heavenly Dao, he would suffer the same fate as Huang Lin.
A slight smile curved Tianxiao's lips.
He shook his head and said meaningfully, "Lin Jinglong, I've already given you a chance. If you listen to me honestly, maybe we won't be without a chance to cooperate."
"Since you've decided to die, then I'll grant your wish."
"Although being your enemy wasn't my original plan, why did you have to walk into this mess?"
His figure quietly appeared in front of Lin Jinglong.
It was almost instantaneous teleportation, with no change in aura visible, which caused Huangfu Kong and the others behind to show a hint of horror.
This forced them to continue to admit it.
There is indeed a clear difference between the True Lords of the Upper Realm and these banished immortals.
The two sides are simply not on the same level.
As for the Taoist named Xianming, when he crawled half-dead to a distance and saw that Immortal Master Tianxiao had already begun fighting Lin Jinglong, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.
"I knew my decision wouldn't be wrong."
"Although all those disciples are dead, they were weak and deserved to die. I still have a chance to train another batch."
"And this time, as long as Tianxiao can defeat Lin Jinglong, then everything before will be meaningless!"
His expression showed that he was in great pain.
But as soon as he saw the aura that Tianxiao had unleashed, which had successfully suppressed Lin Jinglong, he felt boundless hope and realized that his sacrifice had been worthwhile.
Perhaps out of consideration for the many disciples he sacrificed, Tianxiao will support him in the future, giving him enough resources to help him reach the true True Monarch realm.
Even the immortals and demons couldn't help but start daydreaming.
"If I were to advance to the True Lord level, wouldn't I be able to easily defeat Lin Jinglong? However, by then, he would probably already be dead."
"It's such a pity. It would be best if Tianxiao spared his life and then tortured him severely."
"Only in this way can I quell the hatred in my heart!"
Just as Xianming was thinking this.
He only saw a figure, like a cannonball, suddenly blasted towards his side. Before he could react, he felt a fluctuation of immortal energy.
The people who were just blasted over.
It is the heavens!
After he stood up, his aura surged.
He stared at Lin Jinglong in disbelief, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes. Even though he had already overestimated Lin Jinglong enough, as a top expert at the third level of True Monarch, he did not think that he could possibly be defeated by Lin Jinglong.
But this time, he still had to admit it.
I underestimated Lin Jinglong!
“I understand now. Huang Lin and the others deserved their defeat. With the blessing of your bloodline, you already possessed combat power comparable to a True Monarch. Furthermore, the Immortal Martial Golden Seal suppressed the Immortal Path, and the strange power you fused with…”
Tianxiao revealed a thoughtful expression.
He suddenly realized that besides the core of the Heavenly Dao, there were other forces in this world waiting for them to discover, and these forces could also unleash terrifying combat power.
While it can't compare to the enhancement of cultivators in the lower realms to the core of the Heavenly Dao, it can still grant them the combat power of a True Monarch.
"This is a major discovery. Although, according to the intelligence we obtained back then, the cultivators in the lower realms obtained some core power of the origin through the method of merging with the Dao, what they could exert was nothing more than the third level of the Immortal Realm."
That's their limit!
"But things have changed now. It's all because of Lin Wudi's actions. That guy is really ruthless..."
During the battle, Tianxiao actually fell into deep thought.
Before he could react, Lin Jinglong's figure reappeared in front of him, a golden immortal martial seal growing larger and larger before his eyes.
Tianxiao let out a low roar.
He roared, "No matter what power you have merged with, it is no match for me, a True Monarch of the Upper Realm!"
His temper flared up. He had finally cultivated to the third level of True Monarch, and with his level of cultivation, he shouldn't have been suppressed by Lin Jinglong like this.
He also has his own pride.
So after being suppressed by Lin Jinglong for a moment, he unleashed his strongest fighting power, seemingly ready to turn the tide of the battle.
Meanwhile, Lin Jinglong continued to attack with the golden seal and fiercely bombarded the enemy with his fist energy.
The attack left Tianxiao in a sorry state.
Lin Jinglong muttered, "Aren't you going to show your true strength? That Heavenly Dao Core is your last trump card. If you can't even use the Heavenly Dao Core before I suppress you, wouldn't that be extremely embarrassing?"
"Heh, I wouldn't even need the Heavenly Dao Core to kill you!"
Although Tianxiao was extremely proud, if he could use that core, he would have taken it out long ago. It could easily suppress Lin Jinglong, so why didn't he seize the opportunity to use it?
However, the reality is that he has not yet fully refined the core, so it is not easy for him to kill Lin Jinglong by using the power of the core.
That would be far too risky.
If the core of the Heavenly Dao goes out of control, or emits too much fluctuation that attracts the attention of other True Monarchs nearby, he may become the target of everyone's criticism.
He wouldn't use the fragments of the Heavenly Dao Core unless it was absolutely necessary to take a gamble.
However, he soon realized that if he didn't fight desperately, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat Lin Jinglong.
Although he wasn't without a way to escape.
But he was also unwilling to give up this dragon vein.
"Lin Jinglong, we can actually talk!"
At this point, even Tianxiao was helpless.
He realized that he couldn't defeat Lin Jinglong without fighting desperately, and he felt that continuing the fight would not benefit either side.
After all, if the core of the Heavenly Dao were really brought out, the fluctuations might attract the attention of other True Monarchs nearby. If that were to be exposed, they would all be hunted down.
After all, besides him, there were quite a few people who had their eyes on this core.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong simply burst into laughter.
He shook his head and said, "You shouldn't pin your hopes on negotiations. If you can't come up with enough bargaining chips today, your fate will be the same as Huang Lin's—death!"
He sensed Lin Jinglong's terrifying killing intent towards him.
Having reached a dead end, Tianxiao roared and said with red eyes, "If you insist on forcing me, then let's all perish together!"
He took out the broken Heavenly Dao Core Crystal.
