Chapter 2662 Forbidden Art

In truth, the battle wasn’t only fierce on Lin Xun’s side. Elsewhere, the clashes between Luo Xiu and Yao Tianhan, Luo Yong and Yao Qinglu, and Lu Boya and Ling Qingwu were no less intense.

Across the battlefield, only Dragon Ridge Mountain Range remained intact, shielded by the protective power of the restriction array. The rest of the world had been reduced to scenes of utter devastation.

Mountains and rivers withered. Vitality had long since vanished! However, if one observed closely, it became clear that Luo Xiu, Luo Yong, and Lu Boya, like Lin Xun, were gradually being forced into a disadvantage as the battle dragged on.

This sight filled the core members of the Luo Clan with unease, and their expressions shifted with anxiety. They knew why.

The two elders, Luo Xiu and Luo Yong, had both suffered years of imprisonment and suppression. Their vitality had been severely damaged, and their current strength was far from their peak.

As for Lu Boya, the Five Dao Decays plagued his body, making him dare not exert his full power. Otherwise he would suffer a deadly backlash. And Lin Xun...

Ironically, his performance was the most baffling of all. After witnessing him previously slaughter Immortal figures like Luo Chong and Pei Ru, everyone had expected an overwhelming display of power. However, the contrast between then and now was stark and disappointing.

How could this be?

Countless onlookers shared the same question. Meanwhile, on the other side, the Emperor Ancestors of the Yao and Ling Clans were visibly elated, their excitement rising as they fully grasped the situation.

To them, only one thing mattered: victory. If they won this battle, the Luo Clan would lose its final pillars of strength. Once that happened, Dragon Ridge Mountain Range would no longer pose any threat and could be crushed with ease!

Rumble!

The battle grew fiercer.

“Mister Lu!” Lin Xun suddenly called out amid the chaos.

Lu Boya immediately responded, soaring through the air as if to provide support.

“Hmph! You can’t even protect yourself, and yet you want to save that little trash. Ridiculous!” Ling Qingwu sneered and gave chase without hesitation.

Almost simultaneously, Luo Xiu, who was locked in fierce combat with Yao Tianhan, and Luo Yong, who was facing Yao Qinglu, both abruptly broke away and sped toward Lin Xun.

This sudden turn of events caught Yao Tianhan, Yao Qinglu, and the others off guard. They couldn’t help but wonder why were the Luo Clan’s old geezers so concerned about the life and death of a mere remnant?

Still, they didn’t dwell on it and swiftly gave chase. In the blink of an eye, the battle shifted from individual duels to a clash between two opposing factions!

Even the core figures of the Luo Clan were taken aback by the sudden change.

What’s going on? Could it be...Lin Xun could no longer hold on?

Boom!

At this moment, violet lightning law power erupted from the hands of Lu Boya, Luo Xiu, and Luo Yong, each radiating a terrifying and oppressive aura.

“You’re going to fight to the death? Unfortunately, not even that law power can save you all!” Yao Tianhan snorted coldly.

Law power?

We have that too!

A talisman suddenly emerged above his head, unleashing a torrent of golden flame law unique to the Yao Clan, all of which surged into the weapon in his grasp. At the same moment, waves of law power surged from the weapons wielded by Yao Qinglu, Ling Qingwu, and Ling Xuehen.

Witnessing this, every spectator, whether friend or foe, held their breath. Once law power was drawn into the battle, it meant that the battle had reached its final, decisive stage!

“Kill!”

Without hesitation, Yao Tianhan and the others struck. A terrifying tide of law power, laced with immortal might, surged forth to tear the heavens apart and shatter the fabric of the universe! The might of the blow made even the Luo Clan’s onlookers turn pale with fright.

Naturally, Lu Boya and the others wouldn’t sit and wait for death. However, just as they prepared to unleash their law power, a sword cauldron suddenly shot through the air, striking like a divine thunderbolt.

It was none other than Lin Xun’s Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron. At that instant, an earth-shaking transformation unfolded.

Buzz!

With a resonant hum that stirred the heavens and earth, Nirvana law power bloomed in the sky like a lotus flower pattern, scattering a shower of obscure and mystical light over the battlefield. Yao Tianhan and the others suddenly felt their weapons stiffen, and the law power enveloping them seemed to be devoured, disintegrating in an instant!

They turned pale with shock, completely caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.

What’s going on?!

In all their years of cultivation, they had never encountered anything like this. It was too abrupt, too unexpected, utterly beyond imagination.

In that critical moment, Lu Boya and the others, who had long been waiting for this opportunity, launched their counterattack.

Boom!

Luo Xiu’s sword tore through Yao Tianhan’s defenses as if it was crushing dry weeds. The violet lightning law power surrounding the blade erupted in a flash, blasting half of Yao Tianhan’s body into bloody fragments.

Pu!

Luo Yong’s black spear viciously skewered Yao Qinglu’s elegant figure and lifted her into the air. She let out a piercing scream as blood rained down.

On the other side, Ling Qingwu was engulfed by a sword formation brimming with law power. Unparalleled sword qi raged like a tidal wave, subjecting him to a torment like death by a thousand cuts. Blood and flesh sprayed in all directions.

As for Ling Xuehen, he was bombarded by over a dozen strands of extinguishing law fire that Lin Xun had prepared in advance. His skin and flesh split and blistered under the flames as he howled in agony.

From the moment Yao Tianhan and the others launched their assault, to the instant the Nirvana law power was unleashed, to the sudden counterattack from Lu Boya and the others...it all unfolded in an instant, so fast it defied belief.

By the time everyone reacted, the four Immortals, Yao Tianhan, Yao Qinglu, Ling Qingwu and Ling Xuehen, had already suffered devastating injuries!

“Open!”

Just as disaster was about to befall Yao Tianhan and the others, he suddenly let out a deafening roar. At that critical moment, a secret seal materialized in front of him. It blazed like fire, then suddenly exploded in the air, unleashing a monstrous torrent of flames.

Lu Boya and the others reacted instantly, pulling Lin Xun away to evade the oncoming blast. When the smoke and dust finally cleared, Yao Tianhan could be seen in the distant void. His robes in tatters, his hair disheveled, and half his body torn apart and drenched in blood.

A gruesome, blood-red gash split Yao Qinglu’s chest to abdomen, exposing bare bone. It was a ghastly and shocking sight. Ling Qingwu’s body had been shredded by the boundless sword array. He had just reformed his body, but his face was deathly pale, almost translucent.

Ling Xuehen was in the worst state. His body was charred black, his skin split open and mangled beyond recognition. He looked like a lump of scorched charcoal. The sight sent an indescribable wave of shock through every spectator’s heart. Their hands and feet turned cold, and their eyes widened in horror.

What just happened?How had Yao Tianhan and the others ended up so grievously wounded in such a brief yet intense clash?

Within the Luo Clan on Dragon Ridge Mountain Range, all the clan members were stunned, barely able to believe their eyes.

Only Luo Xiao remained calm. Because this was the strategy that Lin Xun and Lu Boya had discussed in advance! As the saying went, ‘Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.’

Yao Tianhan and his group had clearly come fully prepared to storm the Luo Clan. To not only win this battle, but also win gloriously, Lin Xun had no choice but to catch them off guard.

The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron possessed the terrifying power to suppress and counteract law power. It was precisely because of this power that Yao Tianhan and others were dealt such devastating injuries! Otherwise, if it had been a head-on clash, the Luo Clan would have stood little chance.

After all, Luo Xiu and Luo Yong were both severely weakened, and Lu Boya was plagued by the Five Dao Decays. In a direct confrontation, they would have inevitably fallen into a disadvantageous position.

“It’s that little bastard’s trickery!”

In the distance, Yao Tianhan’s voice rang out, chilling and brimming with undisguised hatred. His eyes locked onto Lin Xun, as if he wanted to tear him apart.

“No wonder he was able to carve a bloody path from the First Heaven Domain to the Fifth all those years ago. That treasure of his can effortlessly destroy law power...”

Yao Qinglu, Ling Qingwu and Ling Xuehen all wore equally grim and sullen expressions. If they hadn’t gone all out to block and defuse that attack just now, they might have died on the spot. Even though they had narrowly survived, they were all left seriously wounded.

Even the Emperor Ancestors of the Yao and Ling Clans looked shaken. None of them had expected that in such a terrifying and earth-shaking confrontation, it would be Lin Xun, a supreme Emperor Ancestor, who played the decisive role.

Unthinkable!

“You’ve only realized now...isn’t it a little too late?” Lin Xun said indifferently. At that moment, all eyes on the battlefield fell upon him.

“How ridiculous! The Luo Clan’s situation hasn’t changed at all. Even if we didn’t destroy you this time, do you really think you’ll be this lucky next time?” Yao Tianhan’s voice was icy. Without hesitation, he decided to retreat.

At this point, he and the other three Immortals were all severely injured. Continuing to fight would only end in disaster. Whether it was disgraceful to return in defeat no longer mattered to him. Survival was all that mattered!

“Retreat!” He turned around, ready to lead the others away.

“You think you can leave after coming here?” Lin Xun’s calm and indifferent voice rang out.

At that instant, heaven and earth fell into an eerie stillness. Yao Tianhan and the other Immortals suddenly froze, as if time had stopped.

It was at that moment Lu Boya, Luo Xiu, Luo Yong, and Lin Xun tore through the void and appeared directly in front of Yao Tianhan and the others.

Pu! Pu! Pu!

At almost the same instant, Yao Tianhan, Yao Qinglu, and Ling Qingwu were all struck by the terrifying lightning laws that descended upon them. Their bodies shattered and even their primordial spirits had no chance to escape before being completely annihilated by the law power!

Meanwhile, Ling Xuehen was burned alive by Lin Xun using the extinguishing law fire. His body turned to drifting ashes scattered across the sky. All of it happened in the blink of an eye!

In that almost imperceptible instant, Yao Tianhan, an Immortal of the Nirvana Spirit level, along with the other three Immortals of the Heavenly Longevity level, all met their end!

The world fell utterly silent. The hundreds of Emperor Ancestors from the Yao and Ling Clans stood dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. One by one, their expressions turned blank, and some nearly collapsed on the spot.

This sudden turn of events caught them completely off guard! In the blink of an eye, four Immortals had fallen! What was most terrifying was that everything had unfolded right under their noses, yet from beginning to end, they hadn’t even had the chance to react.

Meanwhile, within the Luo Clan, Luo Xiao couldn’t contain his emotions. He murmured in excitement, “The divine ability of Time Stopping... After so many years, I’ve finally witnessed this forbidden power reappear in the world again...”

His father was the Omega Lord, how could he not recognize the terror of such a forbidden power? The elders of the Luo Clan were shaken to the core, their expressions dazed and unfocused.

Time Stopping...that was truly the forbidden Time Stopping...

They gazed at the tall and imposing figure in the distance, their vision blurring. In that dazed moment, it was as if they saw the mighty Omega Lord, majestic and aloof like a god!

“So this is the Time Stopping divine ability of our Luo Clan...”

“Terrifying!”

“Now that is true forbidden power!”

The entire Luo Clan erupted in excitement, their cries shaking the skies.
