Chapter 276: Chapter 198: All Parties Arrive, All Worship Me!_2

Boom!!!

Despite its vastness, the great hall couldn’t withstand the full force of the mighty ones from all sides. In moments, it was on the verge of collapse!

The roof was lifted off!

The floor tiles were almost shattered into grains of sand!

Beams fell, columns broke, walls cracked... raging waters surged, trees grew wildly.

Sword Qi filled the sky, marsh gas pervaded.

The flash of blades, the eruption of True Qi!

There were Jiao Dragons causing storms, and colossal apes roaring defiantly!

In just a short while, the entire hall was almost torn down!

This place, at a glance, looked like a vast ancient forest, with surging waters and swaying trees, wrapped in marsh gas.

"Good fighting indeed!" Lin Yan thought to himself, musing, "I have just entered this realm and am not yet familiar with the various abilities of the Qi Refining Realm."

"Previously, against fierce evil spirits, I mostly relied on Demon Suppression Divine Power as my support!"

"Today, witnessing the powerful demons of the Qifeng Prefecture taking action, I finally understand their habits and the ways they fight."

"These few at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm possess indeed curious powers, with splendid sword and blade Qi."

"Watching this battle, I can gain much experience in fighting."

As Lin Yan was pondering this, he suddenly heard Little White Ape speak.

"Master, the great hall is gone, this place became a wild forest in the blink of an eye, filled with marsh gas and floodwaters, yet you say the fight was good?" Little White Ape hurriedly spoke.

"Hold steady, don’t panic," Lin Yan replied calmly, "They haven’t attacked us, have they?"

"Hm?" Little White Ape paused, then noticed that around the altar, especially behind, there was no damage within thirty steps.

"These guys are not ordinary folk; they have already sensed that the highest town object is here by the statue," Lin Yan said, "They demolished the hall, deliberately avoiding this place, fighting farther ahead. Didn’t you notice?"

"So we just sit here?" asked Little White Ape.

"The destruction here is so great that it’s enough to alarm the strong from all around."

Lin Yan thought to himself: "Those who were initially unable to find the way here, like having a beacon now, should be arriving!"

As he was telling Little White Ape, he saw many lights in the distance rapidly approaching.

Most were in the Qi Refining Realm, with a few at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm.

At this moment, the sacred platform stood tall.

The statue was solemn, overlooking the chaos ahead, its gaze calm and indifferent.

And in front of it, the flood was overwhelming, winds howled, and rain lashed.

A mass of trees broke through the water.

Jiao Dragons roared, scales shattered.

Blades gleamed suddenly, and the sound of swords whistled.

Marsh gas spilled out everywhere, occasionally turning into deadly blades, piercing through bodies.

"Hm?"

Lin Yan’s heart gave a jolt as he thought: "That Great Elder from the Yue family, I remember he’s the drillmaster of the City Guard Mansion’s guard army, with the cultivation of the peak Refining Essence Realm, he’s holding up until now?"

He focused his gaze and saw that around the Great Elder of the Yue family, an invisible trace appeared.

It was like a bell or cauldron, transparent and enveloping his whole body, even the Sword Qi of the Sword Lord couldn’t penetrate it.

In the hands of the Yue family’s Great Elder was still an object, resembling a mallet!

The scales of that previous Jiao Dragon, they were actually hammered off by him!

"It’s said the six great families of the inner city all have a rich heritage, owning ancient treasures of no ordinary sort, and seeing them today proves their reputation is well-earned indeed."

Lin Yan inwardly praised their abilities.

At this moment, more figures from various forces arrived, and additional demons rushed over.

Among them, not all were here for the supreme town object; some were just unable to find the location of other town objects and sensed an opportunity here, coming with the hope of seizing a chance.

Those who could extricate themselves from the city’s illusory landscape and enter the revitalized old town, nine out of ten had strong resolve.

"More people are coming from afar, shall we wait a little longer?" Little White Ape asked.

"We can’t wait any longer."

Lin Yan sighed, and then he saw a great wave surge in the distance, within which a light was emerging.

Lord Qingling!

Earlier, he was severely injured by Lord White Dragon of Tribulation Ash and fled for his life!

However, the severe injury was a ruse; taking advantage of the chaos, he swam underwater, heading straight for the statue.

Boom!

Suddenly, a sword emerged from the water, piercing through Lord Qingling and heading directly for Lin Yan!

It was the same one that the Sword Lord, having been defeated by the Central Guard General of the Temple guard army, had dropped into the water, his physical body split in two.

But this sword was going against the current, sneaking up on its own.

The Sword Lord’s main body, however, was restrained at this very moment.

Lord White Dragon, under the command of the Twelve Phases of Tribulation Ash, fought in the forefront, but unbeknownst to all, his ancient ancestor had also already arrived.

With a loud bang!

The Central Guard General of the Temple guard army was cleaved in half, falling into the water, turning into paper scraps.

This was the nearly perfected ’Paper Figurines into Horses’ technique!

He himself had taken advantage of the storm using a Wutong Temple Spirit Talisman to get in front of the statue!

These guys seemed to be fighting desperately, in reality, they were all looking for an opportunity to break free from the battle to rush toward the statue.

As Lin Yan had predicted, none of them were simple characters!

"Hahaha!!!"

Suddenly, a raspy voice came through.

The divine platform surged upwards.

Below, a mass of vines had grown unnoticed, supporting the platform.

The vines grew, lifting the divine platform as the wood spirit revealed its true form, intending to wrap the entire divine statue within!

"Damn it!"

Figures from all sides, who had shown shock, rushed towards the scene.

Previously present, the threat of this wood spirit was relatively minor.

In Qifeng Prefecture, it was not particularly infamous.

In the struggle just now, its abilities were not remarkable.

Moreover, it spawned a large number of trees that blocked Lord Qingling and struck many demons and evil spirits.

The wood spirit restrained many opponents, and was in turn restrained by many.

Hundreds of trees evolved from its body, forming a dense forest right in the front.

Logically, it was the least likely one to break free!

Yet, at this very moment, it wrapped the entire divine platform, intending to flee!

Boom, boom, boom!!!

A great multitude of trees grew wildly, blocking the enemies from all directions!

Yet atop the numerous trees, many dry voices could be heard.

"Have you all forgotten? I grew out from among the hundreds of trees?"

"Trees can split and grow from plantings."

"As a wood spirit, splitting myself in two is no difficult feat."

"It wasn’t in vain that I cut myself down, losing my cultivation. Today the town object will finally be in my hands!"

With that voice, the wood spirit, enveloping the divine statue, shot up towards the sky, as if climbing straight up, beyond the Abyss.

"Seeking death!!!"

The many of the Human Clan, Tribulation Ash, demons, and evil spirits present all charged forward.

Amidst the trees, a figure suddenly leapt up, resembling the trees themselves, yet with a human form.

It was none other than Elder Ji, who had reached the Qi Refining Realm with the aid of the Original Tree Heart.

He had been previously cut down by the Blood Slaughter God General.

Who could have imagined that he survived by some unknown means.

"To serve the Sect Hierarch, I die without regret!"

Elder Ji, showing a sorrowful face, roared loudly.

The power of the Original Tree Heart dissipated in an instant, seeping into each tree!

He severed himself from this life, borrowing the power of the Original Tree Heart to destroy all the trees, blocking all the human beings, Tribulation Ash, demons, evil spirits, and sinister creatures present!!!

In an instant, everyone understood!

He was a man of the Great Sect Leader of Tribulation Ash!

Willing to cut off his descendants with death!

Then the wood spirit must be the evil spirit personally worshiped by the Great Sect Leader of Tribulation Ash!

The figures present, regardless of their origins or races, and regardless of their abilities, were all part of the upper echelons of Qifeng Prefecture!

They had come to this place to fight for the supreme town object!

Yet the Great Sect Leader of Tribulation Ash, not showing his true form, had already succeeded at this moment!

Watching the wood spirit, wrapping the divine statue and rising higher, about to leave the Abyss and go far away from the crowd.

From all directions, there were roars of anger, unwillingness, resentment, mixed with various curses.

Yet at that moment, everything seemed to pause!

The continuously rising wood spirit became rigid!

The trees and vines below ceased growing!

Time itself seemed to pause for an instant!

From above the Abyss, a golden light burst forth, accompanied by an ancient voice.

"Without worship, with insincere hearts."

"The supreme town object, not destined for you."

All beings, demons, evils, and sinister creatures looked up in shock.

The wood spirit let out a shrill scream, then crumbled to pieces.

It was as if a wooden shell, peeling away layer by layer.

Gleaming golden light shone from within, dazzling and blinding.

Then all beings present heard the ancient voice coming from above.

"Only the truly devout worshipers, who venerate me as their teacher, who honor me as their sovereign, can inherit my legacy!"

"..."

A moment of silence.

Then came a shout a moment later.

All beings, at this instant, bowed in worship.

"We wish to honor Lord Qingling as our teacher, and continue the legacy of our predecessors!"
