Chapter 920
Main Hall Token
Inside the main hall, as Lin Langtian subdued the Heaven-Opening Axe, the atmosphere became subtle.
Countless gazes fell upon the tall, slender figure in the green robe, some filled with shock, some with apprehension, some with greed, but most with an indescribable complexity.
No one expected that this unknown lower-level Earthly Sovereign would be able to snatch this most precious high-level sacred artifact from the hands of top experts such as Xue Ming and Lan An.
But Lin Langtian didn't stop at all, and didn't even glance at those gazes.
Holding the Heaven-Opening Axe, he turned and stepped off the stone platform, walking towards the Barbarian Emperor and the others.
"Vice Sect Master!" The members of the Qiankun Sect trembled with excitement, and even the Barbarian Emperor's bronze bell-like eyes were filled with fervor.
"You're amazing! Even the highest-ranking Earthly Sovereigns failed, but you succeeded!"
Lin Langtian smiled slightly, put the Heaven-Opening Axe into the Qiankun Demon-Suppressing Tower, and said indifferently, "Just a fluke."
Lin Langtian knew that the Primordial Demonic Talisman played a significant role in his ability to subdue the Undying Heaven-Opening Axe. After all, even Lin Langtian couldn't fathom the upper limit of the enhanced Primordial Demonic Talisman's power after his trip to the Divine Beast Plains.
In his view, even the Undying Heaven-Opening Axe, in terms of sheer power, probably couldn't compare to the Primordial Demonic Talisman.
It's just that Lin Langtian's current strength has prevented him from unleashing the full potential of the Primordial Demonic Talisman.
While Lin Langtian was overjoyed at acquiring a high-level sacred artifact, the Barbarian Emperor suddenly stopped and stared intently at a corner of the stone platform's edge.
There, lying quietly, was a giant, jet-black hammer.
The hammer is about the size of a millstone, and it is engraved with intricate animal patterns, faintly radiating a heavy, earthy yellow light.
Although it cannot compare to high-level sacred artifacts like the Heaven-Opening Axe, it is definitely a rare low-level sacred artifact.
“Vice Sect Master…” The Barbarian Emperor swallowed hard, his eyes filled with longing.
"Um...can I..."
Lin Langtian followed his gaze and immediately understood.
The Barbarian Emperor is known for his physical strength, and if he obtains this giant hammer, his combat power will surely increase greatly.
"Take it if you want it," Lin Langtian said calmly. "With me here, let's see who dares to snatch it."
Lin Langtian also highly valued the Barbarian Emperor, as he admired both the former's personality and strength.
Upon hearing this, the Barbarian Emperor was overjoyed and strode forward, grabbing the giant hammer in one go!
"Buzz!"
With a slight tremor of the giant hammer, a powerful force rebounded, but he forcefully suppressed it with brute force.
The next moment, the Barbarian Emperor gripped the hammer handle tightly with both hands, let out a loud shout, and raised the massive hammer, which weighed ten thousand jin, high into the air!
"Hahahaha! Great hammer! Great hammer!" He laughed loudly, his muscles bulging and his aura surging.
"From this day forward, you belong to me!"
However, at this very moment—
"Wait!"
A cold, sharp voice suddenly rang out, and several figures rushed out at the same time, blocking the Barbarian Emperor's path.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a sinister face and a peak cultivation level of the Lower Earthly Sovereign. His aura was sharp, and he was clearly up to no good.
"I've also taken a liking to this hammer," the middle-aged man said coldly.
"Put down this hammer, and I'll spare your life."
The barbarian emperor glared at him: "Bullshit! I got it first!"
"So what if you get it first?" The middle-aged man sneered, his gaze sweeping over Lin Langtian behind the Barbarian Emperor. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but he still did not back down.
"Treasures belong to the capable. You, a mere mid-stage Lower Earthly Sovereign, do you even deserve to possess such a sacred object?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people behind him stepped forward at the same time, their auras locking onto the Barbarian Emperor, showing signs of attack.
The barbarian emperor's expression changed, but he showed no fear. Instead, he gripped the giant hammer in his hand tighter: "Want to steal it? Then try!"
"court death!"
The middle-aged man's face turned cold, and he was about to make a move.
"enough."
A calm voice suddenly rang out.
Lin Langtian took a step forward and stood in front of the Barbarian Emperor.
He looked calmly at the middle-aged man and said indifferently, "He's right. He got the treasure first. If you want to take it, you'll have to ask me first."
The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a step back.
He had personally witnessed Lin Langtian subdue the Heaven-Opening Axe. Back in Zhenxi City, even Elder Xueming couldn't do anything to this person for a while, so how could he dare to make a move?
"You...you may have subdued the Heaven-Opening Axe, but that doesn't mean you can act recklessly!" the middle-aged man said, his words stern but his heart filled with fear.
"With so many people here, do you really think you can take on ten of them by yourself?"
Lin Langtian did not answer, but simply raised his right hand slightly, his five fingers loosely clenched.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, an astonishing aura of killing intent emanated from his body, exuding a chilling and malevolent energy!
Sacrifice Demon Fist!
Sensing the terrifying killing intent, the middle-aged man's face turned deathly pale, and the men behind him nearly collapsed to their knees. "Still want to rob me?" Lin Langtian said calmly.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
He glared fiercely at the barbarian emperor, turned around and left, not daring to utter a single harsh word.
The people behind him scrambled and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
The Barbarian Emperor stared in disbelief, then burst into laughter and respectfully cupped his hands to Lin Langtian.
"That was exhilarating! Absolutely exhilarating! Thank you, Vice Sect Master!"
Lin Langtian waved his hand dismissively and said indifferently, "Let's go."
Although there are many sacred objects here, Lin Langtian has already obtained the most precious high-level sacred object, and also helped the Barbarian Emperor obtain a low-level sacred object.
If he is still not satisfied and insists on fighting for the other sacred objects, he may really provoke public anger. If he gets caught up in a fierce battle and misses the most important inheritance of the Undying King, then it will really be a loss.
Hearing what Lin Langtian said, the Barbarian Emperor and the others nodded. However, just as the group was about to leave, a sudden change occurred.
"Rumble..."
The entire secondary hall trembled violently!
On the stone platform of the secondary hall, the eight stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes simultaneously burst forth with dazzling light.
Eight beams of light intertwined above the stone platform, eventually coalescing into a golden pillar of light that shot straight up to the dome!
Just then, a palm-sized golden token slowly emerged from within the pillar of light.
The token shimmered with golden light, and was engraved with the ancient characters 'Undying', faintly radiating an aura that connected it to the entire secondary hall.
A token from the secondary hall!
"This is... a keepsake!"
"It seems that only by obtaining the token can one enter the main hall!"
"Rob it!"
……
In an instant, countless figures sprang up and rushed madly toward the golden token!
It should be noted that this is only a secondary hall, yet everyone has already gained a lot from it. If they could seize the token to go to the main hall, or even obtain the inheritance of the Undying King, a Heavenly Sovereign powerhouse, in the main hall, it would be like ascending to the heavens in one step in the Great Thousand World.
Therefore, faced with such temptation, any strong person present would find it difficult to suppress the burning passion in their heart.
However, just as everyone was about to touch the token...
"Get out of my way, all of you!"
A blood-red figure soared into the sky; it was Elder Xue Ming, who had just acquired a mid-grade sacred artifact!
Upon seeing the golden token, his face immediately lit up with fervor. His blood surged, transforming into a giant blood-red hand that grabbed the token!
"Hahahaha! The token is mine!"
Seeing how easily the main hall's token was obtained, Elder Xue Ming laughed loudly, his eyes filled with smugness.
But the next moment, his smile froze.
Because a figure in a green robe had appeared in front of him without him even noticing.
It was none other than Lin Langtian.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly at Xue Ming, and said indifferently, "Put down the token, and I will spare your life."
Elder Xue Ming's face stiffened, then he laughed angrily: "You little bastard, what do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that?"
"You really think you can get away with this just because you were able to spar with me in Zhenxi City last time? I got the token first, so come and snatch it if you dare!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his blood energy surged wildly, and the pressure of a supreme being poured out without reservation, enveloping the entire secondary hall!
Countless powerful figures paled and retreated, not daring to approach.
Within the realm of Earthly Sovereign, the gap between each level is like an insurmountable chasm. A high-level Earthly Sovereign is enough to crush a dozen or so ordinary low-level Earthly Sovereigns.
Only Lan An, who was also a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign, remained unmoved. He released a spiritual energy shield of a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign around him, and watched the scene with narrowed eyes, but did not intervene immediately, as if he were sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight.
Meanwhile, Lin Langtian remained standing still in the arena, completely motionless.
"You just said that treasures should belong to the capable," Lin Langtian said calmly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Now, I'll take it."
Upon hearing this, Elder Xue Ming's face turned ashen. He was an elder of the Blood God Sect, and Lin Langtian had insulted his dignity as a superior Earthly Sovereign three times!
"Good, good, good!" he said three times, laughing in his anger.
"Since you're courting death, I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his blood energy frantically condensed, transforming into a vast sea of blood.
In an instant, the sea of blood condensed into a sharp, blood-red giant blade, which slashed down at Lin Langtian!
Lin Langtian neither retreated nor dodged. His body shimmered with primordial light, and the roars of dragons and the howls of Kun rose up, soaring into the sky!
A great war is about to break out!
Throughout the entire secondary hall, countless powerful figures held their breath, staring intently at the two figures about to collide.
One is a veteran high-ranking Earthly Sovereign of the Blood God Sect, infamous for his ferocity.
One is a young prodigy who suddenly appears out of nowhere. Although he is a lower-level Earthly Sovereign, his methods are unpredictable.
Who will emerge victorious in this battle?
Who will ultimately possess that golden token? (End of Chapter)
