Chapter 010: The Great King Shen

The only secrets Lin Tian possesses are the Heavenly Eye and the Nine-Nine Return to One method. He would rather let these secrets rot in his belly forever than reveal even a fraction of them, even though Lin Wei is his father

Bastard, little rabbit, if you have the ability, fight me head-on, why are you running? ... ... cowardly turtle! ... ...

"It is he who wants to kill me, and in order to do so, he even swallowed a deadly blood pill." The threat from King Dashen made Lin Tian hesitate; although he was not afraid of the other party's retaliation, he had to consider the entire Lin family.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Wei was momentarily taken aback. Even the imposing Da Shen Wang, who was facing him, appeared stunned, as the overwhelming aura seemed to dissipate into nothingness.

I, Lin Wei, believe in my son. If it were not for Luo Yunming's excessive actions, Tian'er would not have developed murderous intent. Lin Wei's body was illuminated by flashes of lightning, fearlessly arguing with King Da Shen based on reason.

"I fear that is not the case? I have heard that the prince's companion has swallowed the deadly blood pill and intends to kill my Tian'er." Slowly turning around, Lin Wei's gaze was filled with anger. The injury on Lin Tian's right palm felt to him like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

On the battle platform in the city of Obsidian, a figure enveloped in a bloody aura wielded a nearly transparent longsword with reckless abandon, exuding a powerful presence filled with violent killing intent. The surrounding spectators, taken aback, retreated in fear, their expressions filled with terror

In equivalent realms, even a difference of one or two major levels may still allow for victory through profound techniques. However, when there is a significant gap in realms, it is akin to a vast chasm, nearly impossible to cross

Regarding his doubts about himself and the father of books, Lin Tian still shook his head. At the moment the Great Shen King appeared, he secretly used his Heavenly Insight to investigate the flow of internal energy within the Great Shen King, discovering that what was stored in the meridians of his body was not true qi, but rather a fierce and violent form of energy.

This is also why Lin Tian would prevent his father from engaging in combat with King Da Shen, as facing the True Self at the first level with the Eighth Level of the Open Aperture would have no chance of victory whatsoever

"What?! How did you know?" Lin Wei's expression changed dramatically; he was completely unaware of these matters and could not understand how Lin Tian knew.

In the future, a grand king dressed in luxurious brocade and wearing cloud-patterned boots, with a fierce glint in his eyes, saw Lin Tian harboring murderous intent towards Luo Yunming and shouted in furious anger

Father, the Great Shenshen King has likely broken through to the True Self realm for some time now, and half of the true energy within him has already solidified. You should pay more attention to this. Although I do not know why the Great Shenshen King is concealing his cultivation, I still wanted to remind you, Father.

Seeing that Lin Tian's injuries had stabilized, Lin Wei let out a long sigh of relief. He then couldn't help but show a look of confusion and said, "Tian'er, why did you pull on me just now? Although the Grand Shun Wang has reached the Ninth Layer of the Qi Channeling Realm, I am at least at the Eighth Layer. The Thunder Movement of the Nine Heavens does not fear his Profound Wind Scripture"

"This king has witnessed it with his own eyes. Do you think this king is lying?" With thick brows raised, the Great Shen King emanated a force akin to a raging wind, adopting a posture that seemed intent on overpowering others.

For those who wish to take their own lives, Lin Tian does not intend to show any mercy. Even if the other party has a powerful backing akin to that of the Great Sage King of Books, he will still proceed to eliminate them. Otherwise, nurturing a tiger will lead to endless troubles in the future

However, upon hearing this, Lin Tian shook his head again and said, "The Great Shen King is not at the Nine Heavens; he has already entered the True Self realm and has condensed his energy into a formidable force"

Resignedly nodding, Lin Tian dissipated the blade aura condensed from his Thunder True Qi, and then walked to another side. Nearby, nearly ten thousand people were watching; since the Great Shen King had agreed, he would not recklessly take action.

After it was confirmed that Luo Yunming had fainted solely due to excessive exhaustion, King Dashen waved his hand, instructing that Luo Yunming be taken back to the royal residence

Stop! Otherwise, I will destroy the Lin family!

The true energy of thunder gathered into a blade-like aura on the left palm, just as Lin Tian was about to sever Luo Yunming's head, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from afar

"Lin Xiaozai, weren't you quite arrogant? Why are you always hiding?" Luo Yunming mocked with a fierce expression. No matter how fast he was, Lin Tian managed to dodge each attack perfectly, which made him increasingly anxious.

Good

The corner of King Dashen's mouth curled into a cold smile. Just as he took a step forward to make a move, Lin Tian, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up and grabbed his father Lin Wei.

Clang! Pfft! ... ...

Seeing Lin Tiankeng withdraw, King Dashen finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two experts from the royal residence behind him lifted Luo Yunming to examine his injuries

Regardless of Lin Wei's puzzled expression, Lin Tian continued to pull Lin Wei away, gradually returning to the Lin family residence.

A sound like iron striking stone accompanied the splatter of fresh blood from his mouth. Luo Yunming was sent flying, blood raining down in mid-air. After crashing to the ground, he coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood, his face turning pale before he fainted.

The significant event of King Dashen breaking through to the True Self realm necessitated an urgent family meeting. A sense of unease, akin to preparing for a rainy day, surged in Lin Wei's heart

Just as the blood mist on Luo Yunming's body thinned to the point of being almost invisible, Lin Tian's gaze burst forth with two brilliant beams of light. His previously motionless left hand swept out, delivering a palm strike that landed on the opponent's left chest, right at the heart.

If you dare to touch Yunming, I will kill you first, and then annihilate the Lin family. I always keep my word!" With a cold snort, the King of Da Shen openly threatened, knowing that his son's life was in Lin Tian's hands, he did not dare to act recklessly.

As time passed, the blood mist enveloping Luo Yunming became increasingly thin, regardless of how harshly he cursed and insulted, Lin Tian remained indifferent.

Lin Tian's right hand was bound behind his back, blood staining his palm, continuously dripping onto the ground. His pair of deep black eyes remained as indifferent as water, seemingly unconcerned about his own injuries. Each time the opponent attacked, he simply evaded, no longer engaging in direct confrontation.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei nodded. Although he was filled with questions, he noticed that Lin Tian did not wish to elaborate further, so he refrained from asking more. He urged Lin Tian to pay more attention to recuperating from his injuries and, with an anxious expression, left in haste.

What Lin Tian was thinking was also what Luo Yunming was most worried about. The potency of the Life-Claiming Blood Pill could indeed allow a martial artist at the Tongqiao realm to advance one level in a short period of time, but the aftereffects were also very severe. Once the effects wore off, the individual would be completely exhausted, and it would take at least several months to recover

Even though King Dashen dominates the Black Obsidian City, as a father, Lin Wei cannot help but seek justice for his son at this moment

The primal energy is a higher-level form of power compared to true energy, emerging only when true energy is condensed to its utmost limit. It is a force that can only be mastered by those who have reached the realm of the true self.

"Tian'er, are you alright? Is your injury serious?" With a concerned tone, Lin Wei took out a jade bottle from his bosom, poured out two pink pills, placed one into Lin Tian's mouth, and crushed the other with his fingers, evenly sprinkling it on the nearly bone-deep sword wound on his right palm

Supported by his father, Lin Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, shaking his head slightly with a pale complexion to indicate that he was not seriously injured

The elixir entered the abdomen, transforming into a gentle warmth that converged towards the wound on the right palm, significantly alleviating the pain of the injury in conjunction with the external medication.

Upon returning directly to his own villa, Lin Tian stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Wei, who was nearby, reacted quickly and hurriedly supported him.

With a cold smile at the corners of his mouth, Lin Tianbu moved as if strolling through a garden, completely ignoring him. His pair of all-seeing eyes penetrated countless methods; unless the disparity in strength was too great, even if Luo Yunming risked his life, it would be impossible for him to touch a hair on Lin's head. He was waiting, waiting for the moment when the lethal blood pill's effect wore off, at which point Luo and the others would be at his mercy.

Father, the child is fine, let us go

"As long as you release Yunming, everything can be discussed," said King Dashen, waving his hand generously.

Although he is confident in his own combat strength, it does not mean that Lin Tian is arrogant. With his current abilities, he can at most contend with someone at the third level of the Enlightenment Realm. In the face of Luo Yunming, who has reached the fourth level by utilizing the power of medicinal pills and wields the high-grade spiritual weapon, the Xuan Ying Sword, it would be impossible for him to gain any advantage by engaging in a direct confrontation.

The blade's edge was less than half a meter from Luo Yunming's head. Upon hearing this menacing remark, Lin Tian's hand abruptly froze in mid-air

With a cold snort, Lin Tian stepped forward three paces and instantly appeared beside Luo Yunming. It seemed that there was a protective armor over the latter's heart; otherwise, that palm strike just now would have been enough to pierce through his heart's meridian.

Meanwhile, when Lin Wei arrived, everything had already concluded. Upon seeing Lin Tian sitting cross-legged in the corner of the battle platform, he hurried over and immediately noticed the injury on Lin Tian's right palm

"Lin Wei, your good son nearly killed my only son. How do you intend to explain this to me?" Upon seeing Lin Wei, King Da Shen immediately turned his ire towards the head of the Lin family.

Lin Tian turned his head and saw that the speed of King Dashen was incredibly fast, as if he were riding the wind. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived on the battle platform, his thick eyebrows and large eyes gazing at Lin Tian with immense authority.

In Lin Wei's view, although there is a significant gap, even if it is impossible to defeat King Da Shen, it is sufficient to prevent King Da Shen from gaining any substantial benefits

A head of the Lin family and a formidable King of Dashing who has held sway in Obsidian City for over a decade, both exuding a powerful aura, were on the verge of confrontation.
