Chapter 592: The Shackles of the Shanhai Secret Realm! Time Has Come. The Era of the Child! Scorned by the Secret Realm!

“Golden Radiance Crown?” The child blinked in surprise. His vision was extraordinary, and he had just caught Li Yanchu placing the crown upon his head.

Unexpected... this young man possesses such a supreme treasure,

the child thought to himself.

He recognized the artifact. In their era, the Golden Radiance Crown’s peerless invisibility effect had caused endless trouble.

Boom!

A brilliant divine light erupted from behind the child, and the shadow of the Golden-Winged Roc also shifted.

Yet he held firm. This earth-shaking attack seemed to pose little actual threat to him.

The child smiled faintly. So what if he had the Golden Radiance Crown?

This artifact could only render a person invisible, it did not increase one’s offensive power. As long as he maximized his defenses, the crown would be powerless.

Li Yanchu activated his Martial Dao manifestation. The crown’s invisibility also hid his external manifestation, and the child could only sense a sharp, piercing killing intent.

He turned his gaze toward it.

From the radiant void, pure-yang divine power continuously descended, allowing Li Yanchu to avoid being completely passive under the child’s scrutiny.

Boom!

Li Yanchu’s golden mace slammed against the child’s defense, yet the child merely wavered a little, his guard unbroken.

Even so, it was enough to shock the child to his core. In his view, Li Yanchu’s realm was only third grade, yet he could actually threaten someone of the first-rank like the child.

Have I slept too long?

the child thought, stunned.

Though he constantly called Li Yanchu a mere mortal, he could sense the immense weight of divine authority within this human.

Divine authority was not something any body could endure, especially that of a proper god of the Celestial Court. If someone with impure intentions tried to wield the power of a true god, it would be suicide.

As he sensed Li Yanchu’s aura, he realized: the divine power being drawn was not from an ordinary god.

“Spirit Officer Wang’s power?” the child paused, astonished.

Seeing Li Yanchu’s immense, surging blood and qi, he suddenly understood.

“No wonder his attacks are so devastating... he’s drawing Spirit Officer Wang’s divine authority. So he’s a Martial Dao Immortal.”

A trace of killing intent appeared in the child’s eyes as he reached behind his head and plucked a golden feather. This was the greatest power he could summon at this moment.

The feather transformed into a streak of golden light flying toward Li Yanchu. Though it seemed slow, in an instant it was already at his brow.

Li Yanchu hesitated for a moment, and the Clearheart Jade Pendant on his body erupted with dazzling light, blocking the golden streak.

Yet almost instantly, the streak broke through. Within Li Yanchu’s divine soul, the purple-gold qi and the Fire Official’s Sacred Edict surfaced.

The heavy aura of divine authority protected his soul and stabilized his three souls and seven spirits.

The child froze. “An immortal’s grant... this is the Fire Official’s Sacred Edict!?”

He was surprised, staring at Li Yanchu with confusion. Why would this young man possess so many divine opportunities?

The child’s fingers shot out like arrows, forming a hand seal. The golden streak immediately began to spin, continuously breaking through Li Yanchu’s defenses.

Meanwhile, within the Shanhai Secret Realm, a powerful restriction descended on the child.

Runes appeared over his body, even on his face.

“Not good... time’s up.” The child’s heart sank. He tried to activate his divine ability, attempting to break through Li Yanchu’s defense before the moment passed.

Li Yanchu’s heart hardened. His blood and qi surged like roaring flames, interweaving with divine authority. A sun slowly appeared above his head, forcing back the golden streak.

The child shook his head slightly. This human’s vitality was extraordinary, he couldn’t overcome him.

Still, the child felt a twinge of regret. Rarely had the Shanhai Secret Realm granted him this much time.

What a pity...

the child thought.

He was about to leave the battlefield. But Li Yanchu blocked him, standing in his way.

“You finish killing and try to leave? You fiend, stay here.” His voice boomed like thunder.

His aura was immense as the golden mace in his hand exploded with dazzling divine light.

With the sun above his head enhancing it, the weapon became even heavier and more majestic.

Swoosh!

The golden mace slammed directly onto the child.

The child had not expected it to be so devastating. Based on the young man’s cultivation, even with Spirit Officer Wang’s power, he shouldn’t be able to hurt him.

Yet when the mace struck his face, the child froze in shock.

Bang!

His head was knocked to the side, the corner of his mouth split, and golden blood spilled out.

Since cultivating, he had gone over 1,500 years without injury, and now he had been struck by a juvenile human cultivator.

“You insolent brat, know your place—”

Before he could finish, Li Yanchu punched him in the mouth. His fist carried immense divine authority, shaking the child’s body.

“Putting on airs?!” Li Yanchu gave a cold, mocking smile.

Swoosh!

The golden mace in Li Yanchu’s hand followed through, slamming down with full force.

The child’s eyes flared with a towering fury. He opened his mouth and expelled a dense pillar of fire, attempting to engulf Li Yanchu.

Bang!

Li Yanchu flew out of the fiery column and punched the child squarely in the face again.

The child was furious. “This brat doesn’t fear fire... fine, I can tolerate that, but why hit my mouth?!”

Li Yanchu had activated the Flame-Sitting Art, and with the aid of his divine authority, he emerged from the child’s flames completely unscathed.

The child’s figure began to grow hazy. Thoughts of the lost Kunlun Mirror replica shard filled him with unbearable pain.

“Damn it. If it weren’t for this restriction, I would have already slain you, you upstart.”

His eyes grew icy, yet he could not suppress his rage.

Today, a mere human junior had struck him repeatedly on the mouth, which was a tremendous insult.

When Li Yanchu surged forward again, he noticed something strange: the child’s body was suddenly pulled backward and vanished. The sensation was very odd. It was definitely not that the child had escaped or used a technique to leave. From the child’s posture, it seemed as though some strange external force had directly seized him.

This guy’s aura is overwhelmingly powerful... who could capture such a being?

Li Yanchu froze for a moment.

As the child disappeared, the cultivators observing in the Shanhai Secret Realm exhaled in relief. They had entered seeking immortal opportunities, not to be utterly annihilated. Had they known such a terrifying being existed within the realm, no sane person would have dared enter.

Judging by appearances, even Yang Spirit experts probably could not handle him. The more formidable the child seemed, the taller and more imposing the golden-armored divine being appeared in their eyes.

Minghe, who knew the situation best, couldn’t help but gape in astonishment. “So fierce...?!”

She had never expected that this Daoist Master Li, when facing the child who seemed to manifest the Golden-Winged Roc, would show no fear at all and simply beat him mercilessly.

Rumble! Rumble!

Explosions shook the Shanhai Secret Realm, mountains shifting, new ranges forming. It was as if the heavens and earth themselves were being remade.

At the same time, everyone felt a strong suction force surrounding them.

“Are we being ejected from the Shanhai Secret Realm?” Minghe’s lips twitched.

This feeling... was as if the secret realm itself was driving them out.
