“Lord Jin Yi, save me.” Wang Tong faced the black pillar of light that shot into the sky, his expression happy.

The imperial palace of the Ascension Immortal Dynasty trembled intensely. Black qi spread in the air, and an ear-piercing sound reverberated between the heavens and the earth, causing one’s mind to tremble.

Immediately after, the sound of something shattering sounded from a palace hall. It collapsed with a bang, and dust flew in the sky. With traces of evil aura, a small black shadow slowly appeared in front of everyone.

A white-haired old man in a blood-red robe appeared. His thin face was extremely pale, as if a layer of skin had covered his bones. His eyes were hollow and empty, revealing a strange feeling.

The white-haired old man stood in the void. His blood robe fluttered as he let out a strange laugh.

“Blood!”

Jin Yi swallowed Wang Tong, who was the closest to him. He licked his lips and revealed a satisfied expression, as if he was extremely satisfied.

Wang Tong might not have expected that he would die in the mouth of the helper he called for.

When the living guards saw this, they hurriedly retreated in fear.

These guards lived in the imperial palace all year round and had naturally heard of Jin Yi. Other than his humanoid body, they only treated the rumors that he liked to eat human flesh as a joke. However, after seeing him today, this matter was true.

Some of the timid guards even fainted.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan frowned. Why was there a human-eating monster in the Ascension Immortal Dynasty?

From the looks of it, the Ascension Immortal Dynasty had fed him countless humans. Originally, he thought that it was evil enough to sacrifice infants and activate the Immortal Ascension Road, but he did not expect that they would do such things behind his back.

“What dense vitality. Eating you will definitely allow my strength to increase greatly. It can be considered helping these fellows clear the area.” Jin Yi looked at the Willow Immortal. His eyes stopped, and they were filled with burning desire.

Lin Xuan was immediately happy. He wanted to eat the Willow Immortal. Wasn’t this courting death?

“Not to mention that you have a trace of the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc, even the Golden-Winged Ancestral Roc would not dare to speak to me like this. You dare to be so arrogant? You’re courting death!” The Willow Immortal snorted coldly. The willow branches on its body opened up and pierced into the void, expelling endless power of laws to use.

During the absolute beginning of the world, all kinds of divine beasts dominated. The Willow Immortal had naturally seen them all. At that time, the ancestral beasts of the various divine beasts had to bow respectfully when they saw him. Even if his divine might was not present, it was not something that a hybrid beast with a trace of the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline could insult.

“I’ll teach you a lesson first!” As soon as the Willow Immortal finished speaking, willow branches that filled the sky shot out explosively with terrifying power of laws, heading straight for Jin Yi.

“If you want me to die, you old bastard, you’re not qualified.” Jin Yi still had the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc in his body. When he heard the Willow Immortal insult his ancestor, he was immediately furious.

Jin Yi opened his mouth and sucked in the evil qi of the world. His body was like a balloon that was filled with air as it quickly swelled. A pair of blood-colored bone wings grew out from his back, and the muscles on his entire body bulged. He was like a different person from the trembling white-haired old man from before.

Countless black qi rose and disappeared on the spot like an instant flash. Its extremely fast speed crushed the air, making it impossible for others to capture his figure.

“Roc – Ultimate Slaughter!” Jin Yi used his bloodline inheritance technique. A pair of bone wings flapped in the void, as if they wanted to shatter this void.

“What fast speed!” Lin Xuan was shocked. His eyes were used to the limit, but he still could not capture Jin Yi’s figure.

Even a rock would erupt with powerful strength at this extreme speed, let alone a Nascent Soul expert.

Suddenly, cracking sounds came from the center of the battlefield between the two of them. The pair of bone wings on Jin Yi’s body fell, and a flowing light was smashed into the ruins a hundred miles away.

At this moment, Jin Yi’s figure had long disappeared from the sky. Only the Willow Immortal in a white robe stood on the spot, surrounded by endless willow branches.

When Lin Xuan saw this scene, he could not help but click his tongue.

He had thought of the Willow Immortal’s strength, but he never expected that a mere avatar of the Willow Immortal would be powerful to this extent. With just a single move, he heavily injured the Nascent Soul realm Jin Yi.

If Lin Xuan had this strength, would the Ascension Immortal Dynasty dare to offend the Lin family?

With super strength, no matter how chaotic the world was, he could stand firmly for ten thousand years without falling.

To put it bluntly, it was still strength that he lacked. Unknowingly, Lin Xuan clenched his fists.

Jin Yi who had originally transformed to his peak condition was beaten back to his original form. He was just about to stand up when he spat out a mouthful of blood and could not help but roar angrily.

Jin Yi had not fought in the Ascension Immortal Dynasty for a thousand years, and the food provided to him by the dynasty was becoming less and less. He originally wanted to come out this time and properly replenish the energy in his body. Who would have expected that he would be completely beaten up as soon as he came out?

The surviving Ascension Army soldiers’ hearts trembled. From the moment Jin Yi attacked to his defeat, he had only lasted for three breaths. Who had the Ascension Immortal Dynasty provoked this time?

“Old fellow, you’re going too far.” Although Jin Yi was the combination of a human and a demon beast, he had perfectly inherited the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc. Even if he knew that he was dead, he would not submit.

“Your mouth is so smelly. Didn’t your ancestor teach you?” The Willow Immortal berated coldly. Countless willow tree branches descended from his body, and all types of natural laws wrapped around the branches. They were like shocking divine swords that emitted sharp auras. They shot into the sky like ten thousand arrows, ruthlessly landing on Jin Yi.

“Ah!” Jin Yi was just about to speak when he immediately let out a miserable cry. The tree branches that seemed to have been casually broken were indestructible. Every time a tree branch landed on his body, a heart-wrenching pain came, causing him to almost faint.

As for the blood that flowed on the ground, it slowly seeped into the ground and mysteriously disappeared.

“I’ll leave this to Senior Willow Immortal. This Ascension Immortal Dynasty still has many good things.” Seeing the Willow Immortal forcefully suppress Jin Yi, Lin Xuan revealed a malicious smile.

He turned around and left with Huang Hao, entering another hall.

As soon as he pushed open the door, there were no natural treasures like Lin Xuan had imagined, but a gloomy feeling came.

“It’s so cold here!” Huang Hao had just walked in when his entire body trembled.

Lin Xuan was instantly vigilant. The Ascension Immortal Dynasty had dragon qi to suppress it, so why would they specially set up a palace to decorate such a sinister place?

He walked to the depths of the hall and immediately discovered that something was wrong.

The pattern under his feet should be some kind of sealing array formation that absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth into the ground. There were several stone pillars around this hall. There should have been other things on the stone pillars, but at this moment, they all disappeared.

“Who is it?” A crisp sound came from behind Lin Xuan, making him instantly turn around. A wisp of Nine Heavens Divine Lightning appeared in his hand.

As soon as Lin Xuan’s words fell, footsteps sounded from behind the stone pillar, revealing a group of people in black robes and holding long blades.
