Chapter 692 - 691: A Great Change

Chapter 692: Chapter 691: A Great Change

After a long battle with the hundred Lightning Warriors, Lin Yun finally shattered them all. His body was covered in wounds, but they didn’t seem to be of any great concern to him.

Just as Lin Yun destroyed the last of the Lightning Warriors, an enraged roar suddenly erupted from the fissure in the sky. A moment later, a burly, humanoid figure made of lightning, dozens of meters tall, stepped out.

The hulking figure, formed entirely from lightning, wielded a massive long-bladed saber. Its body seemed to be clad in a suit of lightning armor, and a dense Celestial Thunder Power radiated out in all directions.

Its eyes, which seemed almost human, gazed at Lin Yun, filled with killing intent and contempt—as if it were looking at a mere ant.

"A Celestial Thunder War General..." Qingfeng Saint murmured in astonishment. ’I can’t believe it. Lin Yun’s Celestial Punishment for breaking through to the Spirit Realm actually summoned a Celestial Thunder War General. That’s supposed to be the final trial when ascending to the Saint Realm, but he’s facing it now, at the Spirit Realm!’

As he looked up at the Celestial Thunder War General towering dozens of meters tall, Lin Yun’s expression grew serious. ’This must be the final trial of the Celestial Punishment.’ He could feel an immense pressure emanating from the War General.

Without a second thought, Lin Yun swallowed a Superior Grade Spirit Essence Pill, followed by a Healing Elixir. He then simultaneously activated his War God Transformation and the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool.

In an instant, a Blood Pool spanning several thousand square meters materialized with Lin Yun at its center. Now that he had broken through to the Spirit Realm, the Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool had a much larger range, looking like a vast sea of blood floating in the sky.

Caught within Lin Yun’s Demon Emperor’s Blood Pool, the Celestial Thunder War General showed no human-like panic. Instead, it let out a furious roar and charged toward Lin Yun, brandishing its massive saber.

Seeing the Celestial Thunder War General charge, Lin Yun instantly unleashed his Dual Dragon World Destruction. Two enormous Dragon Shadows shot out, hurtling toward the War General.

However, just as they reached the Celestial Thunder War General, it snatched one of the Dragon Shadows by the neck. Though the Dragon Shadow was far larger than its captor, it was completely unable to break free from the War General’s grasp.

Gripping the Dragon Shadow’s neck, the Celestial Thunder War General viciously flung it toward a distant mountain peak. BOOM! The Dragon Shadow crashed into the mountain, and the immense destructive force instantly flattened the entire summit.

Having so easily dispatched one Dragon Shadow, the Celestial Thunder War General threw a fierce punch at the other. A colossal fist of lightning violently collided with the Dragon Shadow, and under the full force of the blow, the second Dragon Shadow was also instantly dispersed.

Just as the Celestial Thunder War General shattered the Dual Dragon World Destruction, Lin Yun appeared before it. He looked minuscule in front of the War General, which stood dozens of meters tall. But as everyone watched, Lin Yun thrust the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in his hand deep into the War General’s throat.

With his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear embedded in its neck, Lin Yun didn’t hesitate for a second. "Thunderfire Bombardment," he commanded in a low voice, "Reverse."

Instantly, a massive fireball completely enveloped both Lin Yun and the Celestial Thunder War General. Inside the sphere of fire, both were continuously bombarded by purple flames and lightning.

Lin Yun was struck several times by the flames and lightning, but the Celestial Thunder War General fared much worse. Its body was so massive that it had no room to dodge within the limited space of the fireball. In just a few moments, it was already severely wounded by the flames and thunder.

Its body, formed from Celestial Thunder, began to look unstable and dissipate under the assault of the flames and lightning.

Outside, Luo Feng and the others waited for several tense moments. At last, the Thunderfire Bombardment began to slowly dissipate, and the fissure in the sky gradually closed. Once the attack had vanished completely, they saw Lin Yun standing calmly in midair, holding the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. Though his body was covered in wounds big and small, the intimidating pressure he exuded hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

Everyone felt the pressure radiating from him. It was as if Lin Yun was now an Emperor standing between heaven and earth. Even Luo Feng felt the weight of his presence.

Having successfully overcome the Celestial Punishment, Lin Yun glanced at the crowd with a faint smile, then descended to land before them. He looked at Luo Feng and said respectfully, "Master."

Looking at Lin Yun, Luo Feng’s heart swelled with pride. ’In just half a year... this is my disciple.’ Everyone had witnessed Lin Yun’s progress. His strength now had likely far surpassed that of the Eastern Domain’s Five Great Demon Fiends.

’The landscape of the Eastern Domain has been completely altered. The younger generation was once dominated by the Five Great Demon Fiends, but from this day on, their era is most likely over.’

This was no place to talk, so the group proceeded to the command tent of the Flawless Palace. Qingfeng Saint, Meng Liuli, and the others all followed.

Upon entering the command tent, no one took the seat of honor. After all, Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint were present. Since neither of the two Saints took the main seat, it was natural that Luo Feng and the others felt it would be presumptuous to do so.

When asked about the ruins, Lin Yun didn’t go into detail. Explaining matters concerning the Divine Realm and the Demon Realm would be far too complicated, and besides, telling Luo Feng and the others now wouldn’t serve any real purpose.

Lin Yun only told everyone that the ruins were called the Cyan Dragon Palace and that they hailed from an extremely ancient era.

After a brief introduction to the Cyan Dragon Palace, Lin Yun turned to Luo Feng and Meng Liuli. Though he wasn’t deliberately exuding any sort of aura, both Luo Feng and Meng Liuli could still sense that Lin Yun had fundamentally changed.

Even figures of their caliber, like Luo Feng and Meng Liuli, now felt a subtle pressure from him. This was the pure Dragon’s Suppression originating from within Lin Yun’s body.

Dragons are born to be overlords, born to be Kings. This quality is innate and has nothing to do with one’s Cultivation Realm. To put it simply, it was similar to the Bloodline Power within Little Ape.

"Master, Pavilion Master Meng, the situation in the Eastern Domain has changed completely. No one can afford to stand alone. The Qing Zhu Association is immensely powerful and aims to unify the Eastern Domain. With Taiqing Academy destroyed, the Qing Zhu Association has absorbed their experts. Meanwhile, Celestial Eagle Valley and the Wuji Sect have likely already pledged their allegiance to the Qing Zhu Association in secret."

"In the near future, a war between us and the Qing Zhu Association is inevitable. Therefore, our two factions must now join forces and form an alliance powerful enough to stand against them," Lin Yun said slowly.

Hearing this, Luo Feng and Meng Liuli exchanged a look. If this had been the Lin Yun of the past, the matter of an alliance between the Flawless Palace and the Spiritual Light Pavilion would absolutely not have been his place to propose.

But now, his Cultivation, his Combat Power, and the subtle pressure he unintentionally radiated made both Luo Feng and Meng Liuli consider his proposal with the utmost seriousness.

It was undeniable. Since leaving the Cyan Dragon Palace, Lin Yun had undergone a tremendous transformation. His Cultivation was secondary; the greatest change was in his presence. It was as if he had gone from being a General to an Emperor overnight.
