Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Terrifying Might
Having broken through to the Second Layer of the Flawless Flesh Body—a blessing in disguise—Lin Yun stared at the Crown Prince, a thick killing intent brewing in his eyes. He was determined to kill this man.
He walked toward the Crown Prince one step at a time. Lin Yun’s pace wasn’t fast—just a normal walking speed—yet faced with his steady advance, the Crown Prince kept backing away.
"Lin Yun, don’t come over here! Don’t come over here!" the Crown Prince shouted as he retreated.
Watching the Crown Prince’s disgraceful display, Tang Chenming, seated on the high platform, was seething with rage. ’This is the Crown Prince?’ He truly wanted to march to the Yanhuang Royal Family, grab the current Emperor by the collar, and demand to know how such a man was ever appointed.
’How could a piece of trash like that become the Crown Prince of the Yanhuang Royal Family?’
But anger was one thing; Tang Chenming couldn’t just watch the Crown Prince be killed by Lin Yun. Three of the Royal Family’s five princes had already died at Lin Yun’s hands. If the Crown Prince were to die as well, the royal bloodline would be left with only the Fourth Prince as its sole heir.
"That’s enough. Stop," Tang Chenming called out indifferently from the high platform.
Hearing this, the Crown Prince was overjoyed. With Tang Chenming stepping in, his life was saved. Lin Yun also turned to look at Tang Chenming on the high platform. Though the man was incredibly powerful, there was no way Lin Yun was just going to swallow his anger and let this go.
After only a single glance at Tang Chenming, Lin Yun turned back to the Crown Prince. He thrust the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in his hand, launching his attack.
Seeing that Lin Yun had completely ignored him, Tang Chenming’s expression darkened. He was about to strike Lin Yun with his palm as he roared.
"Brat, I told you to stop!"
The moment Tang Chenming made his move, Lin Yun, who was locked in a fierce battle with the Crown Prince, felt an aura of death instantly lock onto him. A moment later, however, the aura vanished.
A quick glance revealed to Lin Yun that an expert from Flawless Palace had intercepted Tang Chenming’s attack.
"Puzhu, do you want to fight me?" Tang Chenming roared, furious at being blocked. This was his territory; Puzhu was being utterly disrespectful.
Unmoved by Tang Chenming’s furious roar, Puzhu continued to block his path without any intention of compromising. "Tang Chenming, I told you, no one is to touch this boy."
"Fine, fine, fine. In that case, I’ll see for myself just how skilled you are." Enraged, Tang Chenming spat out three "fine"s and instantly struck Puzhu with his palm.
As the two Celestial Spirit Realm experts clashed, a terrifying wave of power swept across the entire Celestial Eagle Peak plaza. Tang Chenming was truly burning with rage today. He had made foolproof preparations to kill Lin Yun.
Who knew Lin Yun would be like an unkillable cockroach, surviving even that? And now Puzhu had shown up, determined to protect Lin Yun and showing him absolutely no respect.
The battle between Celestial Spirit Realm experts was terrifying. The aftershocks alone were enough to kill cultivators in the Early Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm. After just a single exchange, the high platform of the Six Great Forces was obliterated.
Tang Chenming and Puzhu flew high into the sky above Celestial Eagle Peak. Fearing for the Celestial Eagle Valley disciples below, Tang Chenming deliberately moved the battle higher up.
With the platform destroyed, the experts from the other Four Great Forces now hovered in the air. Watching Tang Chenming and Puzhu fight fiercely in the sky, the expert from Taiqing Academy remarked with a smile, "This year’s Green Talent List is certainly interesting."
At his words, the other three merely smiled without speaking. The conflict between Celestial Eagle Valley and Flawless Palace had nothing to do with them, and they were more than happy to watch the show since it wasn’t their problem.
Their battle was countless times more terrifying than the fight between Lin Yun and the Crown Prince. Soon, all eyes were drawn to Tang Chenming and Puzhu.
Each of their punches and palm strikes contained enough power to destroy an entire city. As they continuously clashed in the air, the very space around them seemed to warp.
"Puzhu, do you really think you can run wild in my Celestial Eagle Valley?" Knowing their strengths were comparable and that neither could win, Tang Chenming could only roar in frustration.
’It’s impossible to kill Lin Yun now,’ Tang Chenming thought. Now, his main concern was how to protect the Tang Family. Given the hatred between Lin Yun and the Tang Family, Lin Yun would surely have Flawless Palace annihilate them.
’Faced with a behemoth like Flawless Palace, the Tang Family is nothing but an ant without Celestial Eagle Valley’s protection. They could be crushed with the flick of a finger.’
As the two battled in the sky, the immense pressure they exuded struck fear into the hearts of the Celestial Eagle Valley disciples below. ’So this is the power of the Celestial Spirit Realm?’
Just as the two were locked in battle, a sudden, even more terrifying aura enveloped the entirety of Celestial Eagle Peak. Under this pressure, all the disciples in the plaza were forced flat against the ground, unable to move.
Regardless of whether they were in the Primordial Ocean Realm or the Qi Sea Realm, no one blanketed by this aura could so much as lift a finger.
This included Lin Yun and the Crown Prince. When the aura descended, Lin Yun, who had been in the middle of fighting the Crown Prince, managed to resist for only a few breaths before he too was pressed to the ground, unable to move.
Everyone below the Celestial Spirit Realm was prostrated on the ground. As for the six Celestial Spirit Realm experts of the Six Great Forces, they too were forced out of the sky by the oppressive aura.
"Tang Chenming, look what a mess you’ve made of the Green Talent List." A majestic voice, belonging to the one who had subdued everyone with their aura alone, echoed from the sky.
The voice was heard, but its owner remained unseen. Hearing it, Tang Chenming’s face paled. He immediately bowed his head toward the empty sky and replied nervously, "Reporting to the Valley Master, this was not my intention! The people from Flawless Palace have gone too far."
As Tang Chenming shifted the blame, Puzhu’s expression darkened. However, even he did not dare to openly defy the owner of the voice.
The "Valley Master" Tang Chenming mentioned was, of course, the Celestial Eagle Valley Master. He was one of the most powerful experts in the entire Eastern Domain, an existence beyond the Celestial Spirit Realm. The fact that he could suppress everyone present with his aura alone, without even showing himself, was a testament to the profound depths of his power.
The sky fell silent for a few moments before the majestic voice of the Celestial Eagle Valley Master rang out once more.
"Chen Ming, I know what you are thinking. This session of the Green Talent List ends now. The members of the great forces may rest for the time being in my Celestial Eagle Valley. As for you, Puzhu, you may be the Main Seat Elder of Flawless Palace, but it is not your place to run wild in my Celestial Eagle Valley. If you wish to use force here, you’d better send your Palace Master. That might be a different story."
As his voice faded, a finger made of Elemental Power shot out from the depths of Celestial Eagle Peak. With that single strike, Puzhu was sent flying, coughing up a large mouthful of blood in midair.
Still unable to move, Lin Yun’s expression shifted as he watched a Celestial Spirit Realm expert be grievously wounded by a single finger-strike.
"Chen Ming, bring Lin Yun to me. I will handle this matter," the majestic voice commanded after injuring Puzhu.
As the voice faded, the pressure in the sky slowly dissipated, and everyone present was finally able to get back on their feet.
