Chapter 923
Clash with Maha Huang
Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was as heavy as iron.
Dozens of figures were scattered throughout the vast space, each exuding an extremely powerful aura, the lowest being a Lower Earthly Sovereign.
They came from dozens of continents around them, including sect leaders, reclusive cultivators, heirs of ancient families, and even powerful divine beasts from distant regions.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the towering, thousand-foot-tall statue of the Immortal King in the center.
The statue stands tall like a mountain, carved entirely from an unknown type of golden divine jade, and still shines brightly after thousands of years.
The Immortal King's face was resolute and majestic, his eyes gazing into the distance as if piercing through the barrier of time and space, staring at the endless void.
He wields a giant axe that splits the heavens, and is clad in armor. Every fold of his clothing and every strand of his hair is carved with lifelike detail, as if he could come to life at any moment and recreate his unparalleled glory that once dominated the world.
The statue alone exudes an indescribable sense of oppression.
The oppressive aura wasn't deliberate, yet it enveloped the entire main hall as if it were a tangible force, instilling a sense of awe in everyone.
"This is the Undying King..." someone murmured, their voice filled with awe and fervor.
"Legend has it that he once single-handedly withstood the siege of three powerful extraterrestrial demons of the same level and was defeated. In the end, he killed two of them and seriously injured one. Such a feat is unprecedented throughout history."
"His immortal golden body is said to rank among the top thirty on the list of supreme Dharma bodies in the Great Thousand Worlds. When he cultivates to perfection, his physical body is so strong that it can be said to be indestructible through countless eons!"
"And then there's the Undying Golden Body Divine Power. Once activated, as long as the source remains intact, it can instantly restore the body, making it arguably the number one life-saving divine skill!"
……
Amidst the whispers, a flame of greed and desire ignited in everyone's eyes.
The inheritance of a Heavenly Sovereign is like a deadly poison to the many powerful figures present, possessing an extraordinary allure.
Lin Langtian stood at the edge of the crowd, his gaze also fixed on the statue. His expression was calm, but the Primordial Ancestral Symbol within his body was faintly restless, as if it had sensed something.
And it was at this moment...
"Buzz!"
A deep hum emanated from the statue.
The buzzing sound wasn't loud, but it seemed to resonate deep within everyone's soul, causing everyone to involuntarily tremble.
Immediately afterwards, two dazzling golden lights suddenly shone from the statue's empty eyes!
The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually culminating in a thunderous roar.
"boom!"
Two golden beams of light shot out from the statue's eyes and soared straight into the dome!
Wherever the beam of light passed, space distorted and the ground trembled, as if the entire hall was shaking!
Above the dome, countless luminous pearls simultaneously burst forth with dazzling light, reflecting off the two golden pillars of light, instantly illuminating the entire main hall as if it were daytime!
Amidst the dazzling light, golden runes appeared out of thin air, moving, intertwining, and combining like living things, eventually condensing into two enormous golden light curtains that floated on either side of the statue.
On the left side of the light screen, four ancient seal characters shone brightly.
"The Immortal Golden Body!"
On the right-hand light screen, there were also four large characters.
"The Indestructible Golden Body!"
Two scrolls of light slowly unfolded, and the golden runes on them flowed and changed, gradually condensing into complete cultivation techniques!
Each rune radiates a mysterious light, as if it contains the ultimate truths of heaven and earth and the true meaning of the Great Dao!
"The legacy of the Undying King!"
"An immortal golden body! An indestructible golden body! It has appeared in the world!"
"My God! This is the supreme Dharma Body that ranks among the top thirty of the Supreme Dharma Bodies!"
The entire main hall instantly erupted in excitement!
All the strongmen's eyes turned red, and their breathing became rapid.
That was the life's work of the Undying King, a peerless legacy that could drive any Earthly Sovereign mad!
However, just as everyone was about to rush forward to snatch it, the two golden light curtains suddenly trembled and turned into two streams of light, flying off in two different directions!
The incantation for the immortal golden body transformed into a mysterious golden page, which slowly floated into the air to the left of the statue.
The incantation for the indestructible golden body transformed into a palm-sized golden jade slip, which floated into the air to the right of the statue.
The two heirlooms floated silently in mid-air, radiating a soft yet majestic light.
"Rob!"
It's unclear who was the first to lose their composure, but they flashed forward and pounced on the golden page!
However, he had only rushed less than ten feet away.
"roll!"
A cold, sharp voice suddenly rang out, and a huge spiritual energy hand appeared out of thin air, slapping the man away with a single blow!
The man coughed up blood, flew hundreds of feet backward, and slammed hard against the rock wall, his life force instantly waning.
The one who made the move was a burly, middle-aged man with a full beard.
This person is a powerful rogue cultivator from the neighboring Tiangang Continent, named Ba Dao. He possesses the strength of a high-ranking Earthly Sovereign, and his Tiangang Blade Technique is renowned throughout the region.
"How dare someone like you lay a finger on such a divine object?" Ba Dao sneered, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings with a warning in his eyes.
However, no one heeded his warnings.
Because at that moment, everyone moved!
Dozens of figures suddenly sprang up and rushed madly toward the two inherited artifacts!
Some rushed toward the golden pages, some toward the golden jade slips, and some hesitated, wavering between the two treasures!
"Go away!"
"Those who block my way shall die!"
"This is mine!"
Roars, screams, and crashes echoed throughout the main hall!
The violent spiritual energy surged and scattered everywhere, and all sorts of supernatural powers and secret techniques were unleashed wildly!
Some were killed on the spot, some were seriously injured and fell to the ground, and some were blasted backward! Blood splattered everywhere, it was extremely tragic!
Lin Langtian did not move.
He simply looked quietly at the two heirlooms, his gaze fixed on the golden page.
An immortal golden body.
Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. The Immortal Golden Body is the second stage of evolution of the Great Sun Undying Body. Its third evolution will be one of the legendary original Dharma bodies, the Eternal Immortal Body!
As for the indestructible golden body, although it is equally precious, it is after all just an ordinary peerless divine power, not one of the thirty-six peerless divine powers of the Great Thousand World.
He knew in his heart that, in terms of potential, the Immortal Golden Body, which could evolve into an eternal and indestructible body in the future, was far greater.
Therefore, the immortal golden body is his first choice!
Just as his gaze locked onto that golden page… another gaze also fell upon it. Lin Langtian sensed something and turned his head to look.
A hundred feet away, a black and white figure stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a faint black and white aura. It was none other than the prodigy of the Maha Ancient Clan, Maha Huang.
This person is one of the top figures of the younger generation of the Maha Ancient Clan, with the cultivation level of Upper Earthly Sovereign. It is said that he once killed a ferocious beast in the late stage of Upper Earthly Sovereign by himself, and his strength is unfathomable.
At that moment, his gaze also fell on that golden page, a hint of unwavering confidence flashing in his eyes.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Mahagu clan promised the Immortal Emperor to look after his eternal body, so Maha Huang, who came from the Mahagu clan, was no stranger to the immortal golden body.
Given his status in the Maha Ancient Clan, he could have accepted the clan's inheritance and cultivated the immortal golden body, but Maha Huang gave up this plan.
In his view, he was fully capable of obtaining the Immortal Golden Body in the Great Thousand World with his own strength, and this would also prevent the cultivation method of the Immortal Golden Body from falling into the hands of some unorthodox practitioners.
At this moment, as if sensing Lin Langtian's gaze, Mohehuang turned his head, and the two gazes met in the air.
Mohehuang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile: "Interesting, you've taken a liking to the Immortal Golden Body? It seems you're also a self-taught cultivator who has mastered the Great Sun Undying Body."
Lin Langtian remained calm and said indifferently, "Unorthodox methods? It seems that the Maha Ancient Clan really considers themselves the masters of the Eternal Immortal Body."
"How dare you!" Upon hearing this, Mohehuang's face darkened, and he sneered, his smile carrying a hint of condescension.
"I admire your courage, but I will take this item. You should go and snatch the indestructible golden body instead."
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable domineering air, as if whatever he said he wanted was rightfully his, with no room for negotiation.
Lin Langtian wasn't angry; he simply looked at him quietly and said calmly, "Why should I?"
Mohe Huang was slightly taken aback, then laughed even more heartily: "On what grounds? On the grounds that I am a member of the Mohe Ancient Clan, on the grounds that I am a Supreme Being of the Upper Realm, while you... are merely a Supreme Being of the Lower Realm. Is that reason enough?"
Lin Langtian smiled too.
The smile was faint, yet it carried an indescribable sharpness.
"not enough."
Two words, as plain as water, yet they resounded like thunder between the two!
The smile on Mohehuang's face froze slightly.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking Lin Langtian up and down as if trying to get to know this person again.
"Interesting." He said slowly, "What's your name?"
"Lin Langtian".
“Lin Langtian…” Mohehuang chewed on the name, a strange light flashing in his eyes: “I will remember it, but remembering it is one thing, I still want this Immortal Golden Page.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward!
"boom!"
An incredibly terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body!
The aura was as vast as the sea and as majestic as a mountain, instantly enveloping the entire main hall!
The overwhelming pressure from the peak of the Upper Earthly Sovereign was unleashed without reservation, causing the powerful figures who were engaged in a chaotic battle to involuntarily pause in their movements!
"The Mahagu Clan is conducting its business; all irrelevant personnel, get out!"
Mohehuang let out a cold shout, his gaze sweeping over the powerful figures who were still fighting.
Those who were caught in his gaze trembled involuntarily and instinctively took several steps back!
This is the power and might of the Mahagu tribe!
One of the five ancient clans, a power standing at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Worlds, even the Supreme Beings of the Upper Realm dare not offend them easily!
The previously chaotic struggle instantly quieted down.
Those powerful individuals who were originally vying for the golden pages looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to step back, giving up that area.
It wasn't just the immense power of the Maha Ancient Clan that was remarkable; the aura emanating from Maha Huang's body far surpassed that of ordinary high-ranking Earthly Sovereigns.
But... there's still one person who hasn't left.
Lin Langtian.
He remained standing quietly in place, his gaze calmly meeting that of Mohehuang.
Behind him, the Barbarian Emperor and the powerful figures from the Qiankun Sect, though pale-faced, did not retreat even a step.
"You're not going to back down?" Mohehuang looked at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Lin Langtian did not answer, but slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched.
"Buzz!"
A dark golden light emerged from his palm, and the aura of the Dragon Kun Divine Body was released without reservation!
Although he was only a lower-level Earthly Sovereign, the sheer strength of his physical body caused everyone present to gasp in disbelief!
At the same time, a faint phantom of a dark yellow and dark gold primordial demonic rune appeared between his brows, and an ancient pressure that suppressed all heavens quietly spread out!
Mohehuang's gaze sharpened slightly.
He sensed it... that power, though not at a high level, was extremely profound in essence, ancient and domineering, far beyond what ordinary supreme beings could compare to!
"No wonder you dared to challenge me; you must have some trump cards up your sleeve." He said calmly, but a hint of genuine interest flashed in his eyes: "However, these alone are not enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand as well, his five fingers loosely clenched.
"boom!"
A terrifying spiritual pressure erupted from his body like a volcano!
Although it was just an aura, its overwhelming power had already caused the surrounding space to distort!
The two faced off, their momentum steadily escalating!
The powerful figures around them all retreated, completely clearing out this area.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the two figures facing each other.
One is the pride of the Maha Ancient Clan, a supreme ruler with unfathomable depths of knowledge and experience.
One is a young powerhouse who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, who just defeated Xue Ming in the secondary hall, and whose strength is mysterious and unpredictable.
Who will emerge victorious in this battle?
Who will get that golden page?
Everyone is waiting.
Waiting for that earth-shattering blow.
Just as the atmosphere reached its peak of tension... Lin Langtian suddenly smiled.
The smile was faint, yet it carried an indescribable confidence and sharpness.
"The Mahagu tribe, are they so great?"
He said calmly, and then... took a step forward!
"boom!"
A great battle is about to erupt! (End of Chapter)
