The Earth Treasury Temple was a territory of the Earth Treasury Realm.

Therefore, when Fei Lang, Lan Ling and the others saw the group of black-robed monks charging at Lin Xun, they were filled with anticipation, as if they were enjoying a show.

When they first met, Lin Xun’s ‘arrogant’ attitude had already irked them.

They wanted to see how capable the arrogant guy was.

Then—

They saw monks fall to their knees.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun stayed in place, his body completely still.

Fei Lang, Lan Ling and the others narrowed their eyes at this unexpected scene.

“The strongest among those monks is only at the Saint-King Stage, and none of them is a quasi-Emperor. It’s nothing special that that guy can suppress them with one word. If it were me, I could also do the same,” Fei Lang remarked in a deep voice.

Among their group, the weakest was a third-level quasi-Emperor, while Fei Lang and Lan Ling were at the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage. Although they were somewhat surprised by Lin Xun’s mighty bearing, as if his words were the law, they were not exactly caught off guard.

The white-haired old man watched on without commenting.

The old monk at the Emperor Stage wrinkled his brows and said to the thin middle-aged monk next to him, “Zhengqu, capture that heretic.”

The thin middle-aged monk called Zhengqu nodded and the next second, he disappeared from the spot.

……

A group of black-robed monks dropped to their knees and bled from their seven orifices, like a swarm of insects being held captive, unable to resist or move an inch.

The ‘sacrificers’ kneeling in the hall were alarmed and looked over with faces of shock and terror.

No one seemed to believe that someone in this world would dare to cause trouble in the territory of the Earth Treasury Realm!

All of a sudden, Lin Xun, though standing alone, suddenly had all attention turned to him.

At this moment, the thin middle-aged monk Zhengqu appeared out of nowhere.

Without so much as a word, he charged towards Lin Xun and swung up a black Buddhist monk’s staff.

Boom!

The staff flew through the air, stirring up endless waves of black Buddhist light that condensed into multiple phantom images of the Buddha, rushing towards Lin Xun with killing intent.

Lin Xun snapped his fingers.

Clang!

With a deafening explosion, the black staff shattered into pieces, while the phantom images vanished like illusions.

Zhengqu, an Earth Treasury Realm disciple with a cultivation of the third-level of the Quasi-Emperor Stage, staggered and collapsed on the ground, blood spraying from his nose and mouth. His face was deathly pale and qi was swirling chaotically around his body.

He struggled to even get to his feet!

“You brought this upon yourself.” Lin Xun spat out.

With his current cultivation, he could easily suppress a first-level Emperor like Sword Emperor Hunkong. How would a third-level Quasi-Emperor be worthy of his attention? 𝘙аɴȰＢĘS

The atmosphere turned unnervingly quiet.

Upon seeing this scene, the ‘sacrificers,' Fei Lang, Lan Ling, and the others in the distance all displayed a noticeable change in their expressions.

With a simple snap of his fingers, he managed to shatter the Buddhist staff and wounded Zhengqu.

Yet, his expression remained calm and relaxed. This made it all the more chilling.

“You can see that the boy is no ordinary supreme quasi-Emperor.” The white-haired old man said aloud, his eyes flashing like lightning. “If you were in his place…could you have done the same?”

Fei Lang, Lan Ling, and the others glanced at each other. They might be able to do it if they put in their full effort. However, Lin Xun simply snapped his fingers, and it was obvious that he did not put in any effort at all.

They tried to argue back, but they couldn’t find a convincing reason, leaving them speechless for a moment.

“Fellow Daoist, did you already know this person is very strong?” The old monk at the Emperor Stage’s face clouded over.

He was stunned by Lin Xun’s strength, but what really bothered him was that the white-haired old man and his group, knowing full well how strong Lin Xun was, gave no warnings at all. They seemed to be watching them like it was a show.

He couldn’t help but question whether the white-haired old man and his group were interested in watching Lin Xun’s predicament or watching the Earth Treasury Realm struggle.

“Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood. I only knew that he was not an ordinary person, but I didn’t know how strong he was.” The white-haired old man explained, then said with a smile, “Of course, if you need help, I won’t refuse.”

“No need for that. If I can’t subdue a little heretic on our Earth Treasury Realm territory, wouldn’t I be mocked by the world?” The old monk’s expression remained cold and indifferent, but a menacing glint flashed in his eyes as they locked on Lin Xun from afar.

At the same time, Lin Xun also looked over, his dark eyes calm and unfathomable, “Don’t worry, the Earth Treasury Realm will not only be mocked, but also be eradicated from this world one day.”

Those words took the white-haired old man and others aback. How arrogant!

This was the territory of the Earth Treasury Realm, and who did not know that the Earth Treasury Realm, one of the Three Dark Giants, was a terrifying existence feared by many major forces even in the Ancient Nebula Road?

Who would dare to threaten to eradicate the Earth Treasury Realm from the world?

“Those who overestimate their strength must pay the price with their life.” The old monk’s eyes blazed with murderous intent, then he flicked his sleeve.

Boom!

The world quaked like it was being turned upside down, as a Great Dao Field condensed—an ocean of terrifying darkness that enveloped Lin Xun and the area around him.

“Everyone, watch me teach this kid a lesson.” The old monk said nonchalantly, and with a single thought, his Great Dao Field erupted with immense power. Thunder boomed, wind roared, clouds surged, and the world was engulfed by Emperor dao laws, transforming into a violent and destructive force.

Upon seeing this, Fei Lang, Lan Ling, and the others all had the same thought in mind.

It’s over for that guy!

The Emperor Stage was like a heavenly barrier–insurmountable, the highest of all, and wielded the power to shake the heavens. Once the old monk took action, the outcome was already certain!

However, at the same time—

Boom!

A deafening roar, like the heaven and earth splitting apart, echoed through the air, causing everyone to tremble with fear. Then, the old monk’s Great Dao Field suddenly exploded like a pierced bubble.

A handsome and majestic figure emerged from the shower of light across the sky. Graceful and ethereal, he looked like an immortal descending upon the earth!

“He…”

Fei Lang, Lan Ling, and the others gasped repeatedly, rooted to the spot. That was the power of an Emperor, how could it be shaken by a quasi-Emperor?

Unbelievable!

At this moment, the white-haired old man’s heart was also trembling, and his originally indifferent expression started to morph into one of shock. As an Emperor, he knew well how powerful the Emperor Stage was.

For example, the old monk’s attack might appear ordinary and simple, but the Emperor dao power it contained was enough to wipe out all enemies below the Emperor Stage.

However, Lin Xun, a supreme quasi-Emperor, countered that attack with a heaven-defying blow. The sight of that scene left the white-haired old man stunned, his mind reeling!

“That young man must have some sort of incredible trump card in his possession to have turned that life and death situation around.” The white-haired old man concluded.

He did not believe that anyone in this world could cross the heavenly barrier that was the Emperor Stage. It had never happened throughout history!

Therefore, he subconsciously believed that Lin Xun had borrowed power that did not belong to himself.

The old monk was also stunned, heart tumbling in his heart, and only after a long while did he say with a stormy expression, “Heretic! No wonder you dare to come and cause trouble. It turns out that you have something to rely on. But in my eyes, no matter how hard you struggle, you are nothing but an ant!”

Without finishing his words, he launched another attack.

Buzz!

A dharma seal formed from the condensed black Buddha light appeared in midair. The dharma seal resembled a blooming lotus, with the petals swirling with obscure and frightening Emperor dao law power.

𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The moment this seal was unleashed, the Earth Treasury Temple quaked as countless dao rune arrays rushed forth to block and neutralize the waves of violent energy.

Otherwise, everything in the temple would be obliterated in an instant!

Boom!

The dharma seal glowed brilliantly as it roared through the sky, its force so boundlessly terrifying that it seemed to blot out the sky and sun.

Lin Xun, instead of drawing back, advanced forward.

Or rather, the moment the old monk struck, he had already made his move. He teleported through the air and delivered a punch.

The Heavenshaking Punch!

However, the punch was unlike any of the previous ones. The force of the punch was like a cauldron shining in the sky or an abyss swallowing the earth. It stirred up unparalleled dao laws and displayed an unstoppable might that shook the very heavens.

Boom—

An explosive collision rang through the air, shaking the heavens and earth. The clash between the fist and the dharma seal was like the violent eruption of two volcanoes that had been dormant for thousands of years, unleashing a torrent of devastating power.

Suddenly, the dao rune arrays throughout the Earth Treasury Temple collapsed, unable to withstand the force. The grand temple, the towering Buddhist altar...everything was destroyed.

The ‘sacrificers’ and the white-haired old man and his group had already sensed danger and fled the scene. When they saw from afar that the Earth Treasury Temple had crumbled to the ground, they could not help but gasp and tremble.

Boom!

The shockwaves of the collision even spread across Yunhua City, shaking buildings to their foundations.

Horrified, the cultivators throughout the city fled in panic like frightened beasts.

“Heavens, is there actually someone who has the guts to cause destruction on the territory of the Earth Treasury Realm?”

“Quickly run!

“That power...it has to be someone from the Emperor Stage!”

“Run, leave the city. This city is going to be reduced to rubble!”

Frantic cries and chaotic shouts echoed through the city. For cultivators who had been in the Underworld for many years, the turmoil and chaos were nothing new.

Almost immediately, they acted on their survival instincts and fled the city.

The white-haired old man and his group were no exception.

The battle between Lin Xun and the old monk of the Emperor Stage was like a storm of destruction, tearing through the huge Yunhua City and leaving it in ruins.

Countless buildings collapsed, the ground split open, and the sky choked with smoke and dust. It was as if an unprecedented earthquake had struck.

Those who managed to escape the city broke out in cold sweats, feeling as though they had narrowly escaped a catastrophe.

Many also failed to flee and died in the city!

Watching from afar, Fei Lang, Lan Ling, and the others couldn’t hide their changing expressions, and a chill spread through their hearts. That guy...

How could he be so strong?

The white-haired old man’s eyes flashed with divine light. At this moment, he had lost his calm. A city was destroyed in minutes!

“Heretic, do you dare to come up and fight?”

Suddenly, an ice-cold and majestic roar resounded through the sky, shaking the clouds in every direction.

Then, the figure of the old monk soared into the sky like a huge black sun, illuminating the sky like an almighty god!
