Jin Dan stared blankly, unable to snap out of it for a long time.
The other party had already explained it so clearly that if he still didn't understand what it meant, he must be mentally deficient.
"I never thought she was so superficial!" Jin Dan muttered to himself.
In the Ascension Secret Realm of the Sun Moon Sect in the Southern Sea of Hong Meng, streaks of black energy surged in without warning, like an overwhelming tide, violently impacting from top to bottom. The ground shook violently, as if an earthquake.
Elders and disciples of the Sun Moon Sect rushed out of their rooms, looking around nervously, unaware of what was happening.
Ancestor Qin suddenly appeared in mid-air and said to everyone, "It's that demon trying to break free from its shackles. Everyone go to the entrance of the Ascension Secret Realm and stop the demon from emerging."
Everyone took their orders and sped towards the entrance of the Ascension Secret Realm.
At this moment, on one level of the Ascension Secret Realm, black energy poured in like giant waves, overwhelming everything. Suddenly, a red light illuminated a stone door, and with a roar, the stone door collapsed under the combined force from both inside and outside. The black energy, wrapped in a ball of white mist, shot up into the sky.
The rumbling sound continued incessantly. The layers underground collapsed one after another, the ground rapidly caved in, and buildings began to fall from near to far.
The cave roof of the Purple Nether Secret Realm suddenly collapsed, and a beam of light shone in. Pang Qing, who was cultivating the Five Absolute Divine Abilities, suddenly felt an intense burning sensation. His body emitted thick smoke and rapidly disintegrated.
"Ah!" Pang Qing cried out in grief and pain.
On the verge of death, he suddenly realized why the Five Absolute Divine Abilities he had been cultivating for years could not be perfected. The torn-out page read: To cultivate divine abilities, one must first castrate oneself.
But was it too late to realize this now?
A moment later, Pang Qing's body was burned to ashes, and with a gust of wind, it vanished without a trace.
On the Southern Sea of Hong Meng, Turtle Ancestor felt his curse being lifted. He eagerly ran out to bask in the sun. As expected, his body showed no changes, and he danced with joy, laughing heartily.
The entrance to the Ascension Secret Realm was filled with dust and smoke, instantly obscuring the sky.
Those who had been guarding the entrance immediately soared into the air to prevent themselves from being dragged underground.
At this moment, amidst the flying dust, thick black energy surged into the sky like a dense swarm of insects and ants. It gnawed its way through, leaving nothing but scorched earth and desolation in its wake.
"Attack!" Ancestor Qin shouted.
As he spoke, thousands of spells and divine abilities were unleashed towards the black energy.
Light flashed, and colors blazed.
The sounds of explosions were deafening.
The black energy was suddenly compressed, like a fierce wind, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed.
However, as the black energy compressed to a certain point, a white light appeared in the center.
The white light was like the sun emerging from behind dark clouds. It instantly spread out like a luminous umbrella, covering the entire space.
The divine abilities and spells were instantly shattered, and the people who had unleashed them were sent tumbling and scattered.
Ancestor Qin used all his might to resist for a moment, but he was ruthlessly swept aside, rolling on the ground before stabilizing himself.
Within the white light, an evil figure stood up, with a green face, fangs, and crimson eyes, exuding an infinite aura of bloodlust.
"Where is Yin Qin?" Lian Min's mouth did not move, but his voice clearly echoed in everyone's ears.
No one responded to his voice. Lian Min said furiously, "Fine, then I'll kill everyone here and see if he comes out."
As he spoke, he drew arcs in the air with his hands and pressed down.
Looking up, the sky split open. The裂口 spread infinitely, instantly forming a circle within the visible range. The space within that circle lost its support and rushed towards the ground like a collapsing dome, with nowhere to hide.
The whistling sound and the surging momentum had already terrified everyone to their core.
Although they knew they couldn't escape, some instinctively leaped away to flee.
But reality proved them wrong.
The dome rushed down with a roar, and everything on the ground was instantly compressed, split, and turned to ash.
Everyone, including Ancestor Qin, vanished into smoke and dust in that instant.
At this moment, more figures were seen speeding from the distance.
Lian Min appeared like a king returning to his throne, looking down upon the world with disdain.
He arrogantly scanned his surroundings, ignoring the anger, grief, and sorrow of the people rushing towards him from afar, and merely asked indifferently, "Where is Yin Qin?"
The people ignored him and furiously attacked him.
Lian Min effortlessly neutralized their attacks, turning them into dust.
Later, several more waves of people arrived, with the same outcome.
Lian Min remained nonchalant, constantly asking the newcomers, "Where is Yin Qin?"
At this moment, Linghu Zhong, who had been hiding in the shadows for a long time, finally mustered the courage to emerge.
"With your mother," Linghu Zhong said, his eyes bulging with rage. Although he knew he was no match for the opponent, he still lunged at Lian Min.
If Mo Qi were present, he would have been utterly astonished.
Lian Min disdained to even look at him. He simply extended a finger and pointed at Linghu Zhong.
Linghu Zhong unleashed his divine ability, and a ball of white light met it.
A beam of light, as thick as a thumb, flowed from Lian Min's fingertip, like a sharp arrow. With a swoosh, it pierced into the ball of white light. With a roar, the white light, along with Linghu Zhong's body, exploded in an instant, turning into a rain of blood that splattered in all directions.
"Father!" Linghu Xiaoxian cried out hoarsely, leaping from the crowd and charging towards Lian Min in the sky.
At this moment, Lian Min sneered contemptuously, "Let's see how many more of you will come to die."
Just as he was about to strike, a dark shadow shot out from the side, suddenly blocking Linghu Xiaoxian's path. With a swift and light movement, he quickly pulled Linghu Xiaoxian aside, then glared furiously at Lian Min in the sky.
Upon seeing this, Lian Min's lips curved into an evil smile. "Old man Yin, you've finally decided to show yourself."
Yin Qin surveyed the surroundings, looking at the mess, and sighed, "You were looking for me alone, why did you cause such a massacre?"
Lian Min snorted coldly, "You will suffer the same fate as them, so don't worry about others. Tell me, how do you plan to die?"
Yin Qin said calmly, "I have calculated that I will not die."
"Oh?" Lian Min was inwardly shocked. With his current cultivation, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.
What variables could there be?
He had always heard that Old Ancestor Yin's innate deduction skills were unique. If he said he wouldn't die, then it was indeed possible he wouldn't.
But was it possible that he was saying this deliberately to save his life?
Moreover, fate was something deduced by those who could not control it.
As for himself now, whether in the heavens, on earth, or beyond, was there anything he couldn't control if he desired it?
"Old man, do you know what I've been doing all these years while you've kept me trapped in the secret realm?" Lian Min said leisurely.
"I have no interest in knowing," Old Ancestor Yin said calmly.
"You..." Lian Min was annoyed, but he had suppressed his feelings for so long that it was unbearable not to share them. Thus, he slowly said, "I have been cultivating the Wutian Great Law. I also thank you for giving me such a quiet space to calm my mind and focus on cultivation. Moreover, that space seemed to be connected to the outside world, which was very suitable for cultivating this divine ability. During the cultivation process, many memory fragments flooded into my brain, and I gradually awakened some memories from my past lives and previous lives. In fact, I am... never mind, it's meaningless to tell you these things. I just want to tell you that I have not only gained the memories of my past lives but also the divine abilities of my past lives. My current cultivation is vastly different from before. I don't even deign to act against ants like you, but you humiliated me so much before, and I can't just let it go without getting my dignity back."
As he spoke, Lian Min suddenly pushed his hand forward. Without any warning, Old Ancestor Yin was sent flying backward, falling several feet away.
Before Old Ancestor Yin could get up, Lian Min drew arcs with his hands in front of his chest. A golden-red seal appeared in the air.
The golden-red seal rotated rapidly, forming a giant disc in the air, rotating in opposite directions from the inside and outside. As it rotated, an infinite pressure spread out in all directions.
Once the seal took shape, it pressed down towards Old Ancestor Yin.
Old Ancestor Yin conjured a flying sword, which struck the disc with a clang, sending sparks flying. The entire disc of the seal flashed with light, and the sound of explosions was incessant.
However, the seal was incredibly sturdy, showing no signs of loosening, and continued to press towards Old Ancestor Yin with its original power and speed.
The flying sword rebounded and finally returned to Old Ancestor Yin's hand. He almost lost his grip, and his body was pulled back a considerable distance before he could stabilize himself.
The flying sword couldn't even budge the disc seal at all. Old Ancestor Yin was somewhat alarmed, realizing that there was indeed a significant gap between him and Lian Min.
But he couldn't just wait to die!
"Myriad Phenomena Thunder Seal!"
Old Ancestor Yin made a gesture in front of him, and a vertical disc of light and energy suddenly appeared in front of him. The red border was particularly clear, and there were countless connecting lines from the center to the border, dividing the entire disc of light and energy into countless sector-shaped small blocks.
Old Ancestor Yin pointed his hand, and lightning erupted from those sector-shaped blocks.
The lightning was in the shape of fan-shaped pillars, like giant dragons raising their heads and wagging their tails, lunging towards the opposing disc seal.
The disc seal rotated even faster, its light intensifying, continuing to push forward fiercely.
The next moment, those lightning pillars collided with the disc seal, sparks flying, light and energy shattering, and light spraying in all directions.
But after the light and energy subsided, the disc seal remained intact, still pressing forward with its formidable power.
Finally, it violently collided with the disc of light and energy. The entire disc of light and energy and Old Ancestor Yin's body shook violently. With a crash, the disc of light and energy rapidly disintegrated, collapsing and turning into fragments of light and energy that spread through the air.
The disc seal then passed through those fragments and struck Old Ancestor Yin fiercely.
Old Ancestor Yin retreated rapidly, but seeing the seal whistling towards him, overwhelming like a mountain and sea, he felt utterly helpless, his face turning pale with fright.
What was going on? Was he going to die here today?
No, he had calculated that he wouldn't die today. But where was the variable?
If there was a variable, it should have appeared by now!
Or was his calculation wrong?
