"HE IS MINE!" The simultaneous roar from Zhang An and Nay Lin boomed loudly. It brought down the remaining ice and volcanic rock clinging to the cliff walls. The absolute greed to possess a disciple with a mythical talent had completely blinded the sanity of the two legends who had lived for centuries. BOOOOOOM! The first collision erupted right in the middle of the Yin-Yang Valley. Grandpa Fire's magma-coated fist slammed into Grandma Ice's palm, which radiated a glacial storm. The resulting energy explosion was not just deafening. It literally tore the space around them apart. Massive red and blue shockwaves swept across the valley floor. They uprooted ancient pine trees and flattened the rocky ground into fine dust. The hundred-meter-tall cliff on the northern side of the valley cracked severely before finally collapsing. It vomited thousands of tons of solid rock down below. 

Incredibly calm and steady footsteps broke the dead silence at the bottom of the Yin-Yang Valley. The footsteps crunched against ice gravel and volcanic rocks. They pierced right through the lingering hot mist as they slowly approached the positions of Grandpa Fire and Grandma Ice. Behind his exhausted face covered in red dirt, Xiao Chen's mind worked at lightning speed. He stared at the two mortal legends who were now lying completely helpless. Their bodies were covered in wounds. The Qi inside their Dantians was bone dry. The perfect time had finally arrived. Xiao Chen focused a tiny sliver of his King Realm Qi. He did not chant a spell to attack. Instead, he sent a stinging command through the causality link of the Nine Hells Tome. High up on the pitch-black cliff, Lei Jingtian, who was hiding behind a boulder, suddenly flinched. His head throbbed with a sharp pain. It was a highly familiar agony transmitted directly

"W-What is the meaning of all this?!" Zhang An's roar completely shattered the silence behind the giant volcanic rock. The fire-tattooed man stood totally rigid. His face was flushed beat red due to a highly volatile mixture of absolute confusion and boiling rage. Beside him, Nay Lin stood frozen like a statue. Her sapphire blue eyes were widened to their absolute limits. She completely failed to process a sight that actively destroyed her common sense. There was absolutely no blood-soaked young man being trampled by a giant. There was no life-and-death battle. The only thing present was Lei Jingtian laughing uproariously while chugging wine, and the servant-robed young man sitting cross-legged incredibly casually, holding a porcelain teacup. "Boy! Explain this to me right this instant!" Zhang An snapped. He stepped forward. The remnants of his fire Qi began to ignite fiercely in his palms. "You acti

The dragon-carved teakwood doors of the Lin Manor's main hall creaked softly as they were pushed open. Bright light from dozens of crystal lanterns poured out. It completely blinded the eyes of the two legends who had just landed from the sky.Zhang An and Nay Lin held their breath. Grandpa Fire straightened the collar of his red robe, while Grandma Ice smoothed out her silk dress to look absolutely perfect. The hearts of the two Tier 2 Sky Realm Warriors beat wildly due to a heavy combination of deep respect and awe.Their expectations had pierced right through the heavens. In their minds, the figure of the "Lin Family Patriarch" absolutely had to be an ancient, white-bearded monster from the Mythical realm. He had to be a cosmic existence who was actively hiding his true power from the eyes of the mortal world.With incredibly polite and measured steps, Zhang An and Nay Lin stepped over the threshold. They lowered their heads. They raised both hands in a gesture of the highest absol

The sky above the Heavenly Cloud Capital was heavily decorated with thick gray clouds that completely blocked the morning light. The long and piercing wail of a military horn shattered the silence. It was immediately followed by the thunderous stomping of thousands of armored horse hooves violently slamming against the marble streets. In front of the Lin Family Manor gates, Supreme Warlord Bao Xi sat highly arrogantly atop a pitch-black warhorse. The Imperial Pillar wore solid black battle armor. The aura of a Tier 2 Sky Realm Warrior radiated aggressively from his body. It pressed down on the air until it created a highly visible visual distortion completely surrounding him. Ten thousand Border Black Cavalry soldiers marched in a flawless formation right behind him. They formed an absolute ocean of deadly spears fully prepared to swallow anything in their path. The ironwood gates of the manor opened incredibly slowly. L
