Chapter 1289 48: Threat
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the battlefield over there.
The ‘civil war’ within the Lin family that they imagined wasn’t as intense as expected. The top talent of the Lin family in the post-imperial era, Lin Langya, a peak existence beneath the Destroyer, was crushed by Xu Mo. From the battle process, it indeed seemed like a crushing defeat; Lin Langya’s attacks posed no threat to Xu Mo, but he could not withstand Xu Mo’s attacks.
His domain was suppressed.
It seems that legendary figure still remains an insurmountable presence for the Lin family. Now, his descendants can still overlook Lin Langya just as that Emperor looked down upon the entire Lin family back then. He was the creator of the family, an absolute ruling-level figure.
“Even more monstrous,” Thor muttered. Compared to back then, that guy has become even more monstrous. Lin Langya, with peak combat power, was actually crushed.
Lin Xu’s eyes showed bewilderment, then became gloomy as if he saw the shadow of that existence.
At this moment, a strong killing intent surged in his heart. If Xu Mo continued to grow, he feared it would lead to another like him, and that would be a disaster for the Lin family.
Qiong looked at Xu Mo below, his usually unchanging expression showing a trace of disturbance. Unknowingly, that little fellow from Byron Star had reached this point.
“Old witch…” Thinking of this nickname, Master Qiong also felt relieved, allowing him to curse a bit.
She knew very well that at this moment, Xu Mo had taken Zero’s place, representing that existence. His combat prowess on the battlefield would inevitably make people recall the former Emperor.
Fortunately, Xu Mo did not disgrace the great Emperor.
“Boom…” The violent aura of destruction once again became rampant. Lin Langya, who was knocked back, felt countless eyes on him, filling his heart with intense humiliation.
This battle was initially meant to clear the Lin family’s name, but it turned into a disgraceful defeat.
He knew what kind of impact such a defeat would have on them.
If he could crush Xu Mo in this battle, it would signify the end of an era, allowing the Lin family to emerge from the shadows of past betrayal and begin an era of its own.
But the reality was quite the opposite; he was crushed by Xu Mo, making everyone recall the Lin family’s past, their betrayal, and that legend, forever living under someone’s shadow.
This was not only his battle; he represented, besides himself, the entire Lin family.
He could still fight.
In an instant, a storm of destructive energy blotted out the sky, and the vast space was engulfed by an energetic storm. A hurricane surged out, and with the release of Cosmic Domain power, the space went out of control again.
Lin Langya’s body floated up again, his eyes fixed on Xu Mo, in which the Light of Destruction flowed. A massive shadow enveloped his body, still exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.
Xu Mo initially intended to turn and leave, but he frowned as he sensed Lin Langya’s renewed aura.
In today’s situation, he had actually restrained himself, refraining from going for the kill. His appearance was already a risky move; if he truly killed Lin Langya, the other party might spare no cost to kill him.
Their main goal today had been achieved. The formation of the Cosmic Federation had been destroyed; as long as they could retreat unharmed, it was enough, and there was no need for a life-or-death showdown here.
It wasn’t yet time for the decisive battle; with the Star Ring present, time was on their side, and they had the advantage.
However, despite being unable to kill, that didn’t mean they couldn’t assert dominance. At the very least, they needed to let the neutral forces in the universe see that the alliance formed by the Lin family and the Church wasn’t invincible.
With a thought, Xu Mo unleashed the Divine Domain again, and in an instant, the entire domain transformed into his world. The terrifying power of the Divine Domain enveloped Lin Langya’s body, and once again Lin Langya felt that suppressive force.
Everything in the domain began to change, beyond his control. His power was being weakened, his senses were becoming dull, and everything felt unbearably heavy.
“Boom…” Lin Langya’s eyes showed intense reluctance, as the Power of Destruction continued to roar. The enormous shadow erupted with terrifying power — was there truly an invincible domain?
He didn’t believe it.
“Kill!”
Countless beams of destructive energy light columns attacked Xu Mo fiercely, but as Xu Mo’s body soared upward, the attacking energy light columns encountered intense resistance within the Divine Domain. As they neared Xu Mo, a Divine Barrier appeared in front of them, obstructing the destructive beams from breaking through.
Lin Langya still didn’t give up. His enormous body moved, carrying terrifying destructive power as he charged toward Xu Mo, the roaring destructive energy forming a Sword of Destruction.
But almost simultaneously, an even larger shadow manifested within the domain, and this cosmic space manifested a virtual image. This figure swung its arm toward the ground.
At this moment, a Light of Destruction appeared in the sky, containing both destruction and power, directly blasting toward Lin Langya’s massive form.
Lin Langya felt despair in the face of that oppressive force. He swung his sword, but to no avail. As that punch landed, the massive form condensed into existence was once again shattered and collapsed.
“Boom…”
A terrifying rumble echoed, the ocean platform shook violently, and even cracks appeared.
Lin Langya’s body was smashed into the cracks, the Armor shattering and crumbling, heavily injured, continuously spitting out blood.
The difference in Power was irreparable, Lin Langya was struggling, but it was all in vain, the outcome was the same, even worse.
Looking at that towering silhouette, some Elder seemed to see the shadow of that legendary figure.
“Lin traitor, seeking to replace the legitimate line, don’t forget your identity.” Xu Mo looked down at Lin Langya below as he spoke, seemingly acknowledging his identity.
This statement caused countless people to tremble, it was the first time Xu Mo responded directly to the issue of identity.
Temporary traitor, attempting to replace the legitimate.
He was the descendant of the Emperor, he was the true master of the Lin, not the Lin of Lin Langya, the Lin on the Emperor Star now, was just traitors.
This statement seemed to remind the Lin and also the Universe’s people.
The strong ones of the Lin had exceptionally unpleasant expressions, they were being humiliated, yet unable to refute, they were indeed not the legitimate.
As for strength, Lin Langya was suppressed, with the Destroyer absent, who in the Lin could fight Xu Mo? Not a single chance.
Xu Mo glanced at the defeated Lin Langya, then turned to leave.
Back when he traveled to Pandora Star with Gaia, after gaining insight in the tribe’s Holy Land, he felt new abilities, his Combat Power had already reached the Skywalker ceiling level, and with Zero he took down the Nidhogg Leader.
The Nidhogg Leader, approaching the brink of transformation, its attack and defense reached the Skywalker extremes.
Afterwards, Xu Mo spent several years in closed Cultivation at the Mystic God Temple, digesting his insights, his Divine Realm Power had reached a very strong level, upon explosion, even a strong one like Lin Langya was suppressed.
Lin Langya’s Combat Power was definitely not weak, it could be said to have reached the peak of the Skywalker realm, even touching the Destroyer’s threshold, but Xu Mo gave him no chance, he unleashed incomparable Power to suppress him.
Only then could he suppress the opponent’s arrogance.
Just as Xu Mo was about to leave, a strong pressure fell upon him.
Up high, Lin Xu looked down at Xu Mo, a horrific level of pressure descended, his gaze was filled with intense killing intent.
“If you make a move, none of you will leave alive today.” Qiong’s icy voice spread, launching a terrifying spiritual power attack, he stepped forward, energy rampaging in the sky, like an Energy Storm rising up.
Above the sky, Starships moved, beams of light shone down, Lin Xu glanced up, knowing Qiong wasn’t joking.
A figure like Xu Mo, who dared to appear, Qiong would undoubtedly spare no expense to ensure his safety.
If he truly made a move to kill Xu Mo, the opponent would fire the Starships, thereby completely igniting a war. If such a scenario occurred, Asgard would turn into Purgatory.
The Lin’s fleet was also moving, Fernand spoke: “Today you all teamed up, intending to establish a Cosmic Federation, obviously aiming to deal with us, wanting to go to war, just start it, we’ll accept. However, seeking legitimacy for a war is unnecessary, you’ve already broken your promise. If the Destroyer strikes to kill, then, it would only lead to everyone being buried within Asgard.”
“Additionally, all the wealth of the Universe’s forces is temporarily stored in the Imperial First Bank. If you seize this chance to breach trust and devour it, I guarantee, under war, the first to be destroyed would be the forces behind the Imperial First Bank, since you wish for chaos in the Universe, we wouldn’t mind adding more chaos.”
Having come all this way, they naturally came with determination, otherwise, why come at all?
Now the situation had reached this point, they indeed were in a weaker position, but a weak position didn’t mean acceptance.
Lin Xu hearing their words ultimately did not dare to act, he harbored concerns, Xu Mo didn’t deliver a fatal blow to Lin Langya, also indicating he didn’t want to ignite a decisive battle.
His appearance today likely was just to make his presence known.
After Lin Xu’s pressure vanished, Xu Mo’s figure flickered, heading towards the Sea Domain.
On the Sea Domain, an extremely terrifying confrontation was erupting, a huge Energy Storm arose over the sea, a massive figure stood atop the sea, none other than the top-level expert of the Heavenly God Race, Ta Luo.
But at this moment, around him a frightening golden glow shimmered, countless golden Divine Swords blasted towards him, Ta Luo’s body was imbued with Energy Light, his physique seemingly indestructible, as his palms struck upon the sea causing turmoil.
Ta Luo’s Power was formidable, but in terms of movement technique, the gap between him and Saint Tiya Star’s Tiga was too evident, causing the battle to be very passive.
