Chapter 17: The Double Pupil is the Path to Invincibility, So What Harm Is There in an Extra Bone?

Just as Lin Hao and Lin Yi exchanged a glance and were about to step forward to make their choice...

Lin Bufan grabbed them both!

He cupped his hands toward Wang Wutian in the void, bowing his head humbly:

"Great Emperor, my two sons are young and cannot think things through so quickly. Do you think... could you give them more time to consider it carefully? We, the Lin Family, can release your clan's ancestor, Wang Wuxiang, first to show our sincerity!"

After speaking, he used lightning speed to release Wang Wuxiang from the Immortal Cauldron and pushed him out of the Lin Family!

He did not give Wang Wutian a moment to refuse!

As for the Potian Shuttle on Wang Wuxiang, it had long since been removed by Lin Bufan.

Once out of the Lin Family, Wang Wuxiang's cultivation, which had been suppressed to the Four Extremities Secret Realm, instantly recovered, and his peak Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven cultivation was unsealed!

"Ahhhhh, you Lin Family members, you all deserve to die!"

Before Wang Wuxiang could even recover from his bruised and swollen face, he began to bombard the Lin Family's Protective Clan Array with his divine abilities!

He felt incredibly aggrieved!

The juniors of the Lin Family didn't treat him like a human at all, especially Lin Hao and Lin Yi; whenever their cultivation broke through, they would use Wang Wuxiang as a punching bag!

"Step down!"

Wang Wutian let out a low roar, waved his sleeve, and instantly flung Wang Wuxiang back an unknown distance!

The might of a Great Emperor is truly terrifying!

Looking at Lin Bufan, a cold glint flashed through his eyes, and he smiled faintly:

"You have been a decent Patriarch of the Lin Family. Although you are like an ant, you handle things flawlessly. Very well! Then this Emperor will give you one more night to think. By this time tomorrow, if you cannot give this Emperor a satisfactory answer, hehe... I will let you witness this Emperor's methods!"

"Everyone of the Wang Family, listen to my order: come into this Emperor's palm!"

Wang Wutian turned around, his Great Emperor aura expanded, and a Great Emperor Dharma Image one hundred thousand zhang tall appeared behind him; everyone from the Wang Family jumped into his palm and left in an instant.

He did not even bother to make threats!

Nor was he worried about the Lin Family escaping; no matter how they ran, they could not escape the palm of his hand!

When this Great Emperor Dharma Image appeared, everyone in the Lin Family, including Lin Bufan, had their eyes widened!

Everyone's heart sank to the bottom in an instant; they all understood that if not for the Protective Clan Array, this Great Emperor of the Wang Family could destroy the entire Lin Family with just one stomp!

One cup of tea later, in the Wang Family's main hall.

Wang Wutian sat in the high hall, with Wang Xiao, Wang Wuxiang, and Wang Teng below.

He lifted his eyelids slightly and spoke indifferently: "Are you all wondering why this Emperor acted this way today?"

Under his gaze, the three dared not respond.

Not only were the members of the Lin Family terrified to the point of panic by this Great Emperor, but even the people of the Wang Family were filled with awe and fear of him.

"Very well, then this Emperor will say it myself."

Wang Wutian stood up, turned his back to the three, stood with his hands behind his back, and spoke slowly: "Lin Potian is dead. That strand of Emperor Qi lacks the support of Life Essence and will dissipate on its own in ten days at most!"

"So, by then, destroying the Lin Family will be effortless! But those Lin Hao and Lin Yi are peerless geniuses; one is a Chongtongzhe who appears once every fifty thousand years, and the other has a Supreme Bone that is hard to encounter in twenty thousand years!"

"Therefore, for such people, what is needed is not killing, but subjugation! As long as the two of them eat our Wang Family's Soul-Confusing Pill, they will be the most loyal servants of our Wang Family!"

"In just one or two thousand years, they will become the two best blades for our Wang Family!"

"Do you understand now?"

Upon hearing this, the three suddenly looked up!

"Father, your child is convinced!"

Wang Xiao touched his head to the ground, believing this deeply.

"Ancestor is brilliant!"

Wang Teng performed a grand salute, but in his heart, there was an indescribable feeling.

But he dared not speak again.

Wang Wuxiang belonged to the same generation as Wang Wutian; he did not kneel, but cupped his hands and said: "Brother Wutian has great insight!"

But in his heart, he smelled a hint of a conspiracy!

He knew Wang Wutian too well; he was not as noble as he claimed!

Wang Wuxiang had a bold guess in his heart, but it would take time to verify...

"Since that is the case, you may go."

After waving his hand to dismiss everyone, he waved his hand again to instantly close the main hall, and a yellowed ancient book appeared out of thin air!

Opening the content, the first page was...

Transplant the Double Pupil, dig out the Supreme Bone, seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and reach the peak of the Great Emperor!

At the same time, the members of the Lin Family were restless and unable to sleep through the night!

In a secret room of the Lin Family, Lin Yanran sat cross-legged on a cushion, contacting Lin Potian.

Beside her, Lin Bufan paced anxiously, waiting.

In the entire secret room, there were only the two of them.

"Ancestor, the Wang Family's Great Emperor Wang Wutian wants us to hand over... what should we do now?!"

After making contact, Lin Yanran quickly told Lin Potian everything about the pressure from the Wang Family's Great Emperor, as if she were filing a complaint.

At this time, Lin Potian had arrived outside the Tongtian Tower and was preparing to enter the first level.

His footsteps paused; Lin Potian tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, thought for a long while, and said in a low voice:

"Although the ancestor has never heard of this 'Great Emperor Wutian' you speak of, the ancestor is certain that he must have a scheme! In the ancestor's era, there was a wicked cultivator surnamed Wang who reached the peak of the Great Emperor; this person... possessed both a Double Pupil and a Supreme Bone, but his Double Pupil and Supreme Bone were both plundered from others!"

"What?!"

Lin Yanran's face turned pale instantly!

Lin Potian continued: "If the ancestor's guess is correct, this Wang Family must be the Imperial Clan descended from that wicked cultivator! As things stand, there are only two ways. First, I will possess your body and kill this Wang Family Great Emperor! But as soon as I make a move, those three old fellows in the Emperor Alliance will definitely discover it, and the Lin Family... will face endless sieges."

"No, Ancestor, this method will not work!"

Lin Yanran immediately rejected it; if the Lin Family could not even deal with one Great Emperor from the Wang Family, then if they were to provoke the Emperor Alliance, the most terrifying power in the Heavens, the Lin Family would be completely hopeless!

"There is a second method..."

Lin Potian's voice came through, carrying a hint of helplessness.

"Ancestor, please speak!" Lin Yanran was impatient.

"That is, if the Double Pupil and the Supreme Bone are in the same person, one must reach the Great Saint Realm for the extraction to be effective; that Wang Family Great Emperor should be aware of this."

"And the Supreme Bone will grow more than once in a lifetime; the second generation will be much, much stronger than the first."

"It's just that this..."

Lin Potian's tone suddenly sank; with every word he spoke, the killing intent on him grew more intense!

The inexplicably erupting killing intent made the Black Dragon and other Emperors following far behind unable to help but feel a slight tremor of fear!

The God-Devouring Insect Emperor even shivered, looking on with a face full of terror.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lin Potian finished explaining the second method to Lin Yanran in full.

Lin Yanran's lips turned white, "Ancestor, after the Supreme Bone is lost, can it really... still grow back?"

"Yanran, Ancestor is certain the Supreme Bone can grow back, but this action, sigh! Ancestor has failed you all, truly failed..."

Lin Yanran immediately interrupted, her voice trembling: "Say no more, Ancestor, I understand. Yanran dares to ask the Ancestor one last question... Is my younger brother, Lin Feng, brave?"

This question left Lin Potian stunned on the spot!

He did not know how to answer, and after a long while, he replied in a daze: "He is my most outstanding descendant; you are all my most outstanding descendants."

Lin Yanran smiled, a smile tinged with bitterness: "Ancestor, please return soon; we truly cannot hold on much longer."

"Alright..."

The transmission ended.

The next breath.

Bang!

Lin Potian struck with a heavy punch, directly blasting open the tightly shut first floor of the Tongtian Tower!

Disregarding the backlash of the Meteor Emperor Curse within his body, he forcibly restored himself to his most perfect state!

With his cultivation limit removed, he grasped his sword and killed his way in!

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he went straight to the second floor!

The Foreign Five Emperors behind him were all horrified!

At the same time, Lin Yanran ended the Divine Sacrifice and opened her eyes.

"Yanran, what did he say? What did the Ancestor say? You, why are you dazed? Tell the Patriarch quickly!"

Lin Bufan had long been so anxious that his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared out.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Yanran lowered her head, bit her lip, and finally spoke...

Pfft!

The moment he heard it, Lin Bufan collapsed powerlessly to the ground, a mouthful of blood spraying out!

His face was bloodless, and he muttered to himself with a miserable laugh: "But they are both pieces of flesh from my own hands, they are both my flesh!"

Lin Yanran remained silent, turned her head away, and did not know what to say.

When she looked back again, Lin Bufan had already left the secret chamber.

The entire Lin Family was deathly still, without a trace of vitality, until nearly dawn...

"Ah... No! Brother, why would you treat me like this!!"

Lin Hao's scream pierced the sky above the Lin Family!

The members of the Lin Family woke up instantly, rushed out one after another, hearts filled with shock, and hurried to rescue Lin Hao!

Boom—!

Amidst flashes of lightning and thunder, everyone saw Lin Hao's blood-drenched back!

And they saw Lin Yi instantly refining the Supreme Bone of his younger brother, Lin Hao!

His back suddenly glowed!

The two supreme treasures, the Supreme Bone and the Double Pupil, were now both possessed by Lin Yi alone!

The Lin Family members were terrified, having no idea why this earth-shattering change had occurred!

Were the two not biological brothers??

"Brother, why would you do this?"

Lin Hao was extremely weak, his voice intermittent as he coughed up blood; the excruciating pain in his back reminded him every moment that his own brother had dug out his bone!

He truly had not expected that his brother Lin Yi would suddenly kick open his door, then without hesitation, strike him down with a sword and dig out his Supreme Bone!!

He had absolutely no defenses, and had even rushed up excitedly, thinking his brother Lin Yi had come to discuss how to break the deadlock!

But unexpectedly... what awaited him was the digging out of his Supreme Bone!!!

Lin Yi's eyes were cold, as if he felt no sadness at all; his expression was indifferent as he said calmly:

"Little brother, the Double Pupil is an invincible path, but I... don't mind having one more bone and one more path!"

"The Wang Family is the righteous path; if I continue to waste time in the Lin Family, then I will truly have narrowed my own path!"

"However, if the Wang Family exterminates the Lin Family in the future, for the sake of this bone you gave me, I will spare your life!"

Lin Hao was stunned, "Brother, what did you say?"

He truly could not imagine that such cold and heartless words would come from Lin Yi's mouth.

The rest of the Lin Family were even more like stone statues, looking at Lin Yi as if they were seeing a stranger for the first time.

Not a single person stepped forward to stop Lin Yi as he walked out of the Lin Family step by step!

Just at this moment, Wang Wutian personally arrived at the Lin Family once again!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Yi suddenly toward Wang Wutian...

Knelt down!

His tone was sincere:

"Lin Yi has already abandoned darkness to embrace the light; I personally dug out the Supreme Bone of my younger brother Lin Hao and transplanted it into my own body, achieving the status of a peerless prodigy. If the Great Emperor does not mind, please take Lin Yi as your disciple!"

The members of the Lin Family now completely understood that Lin Yi had betrayed the clan!

And he had betrayed the clan in the most cruel way possible!

They only believed what they saw and began to curse loudly one after another:

"Lin Yi, you damn beast!"

"Lin Yi, you are unworthy of being a son, unworthy of being a brother!"

"..."

Spittle flew everywhere, and the sound of insults was incessant!

Lin Yi acted as if he had heard nothing, his expression calm and composed, but the bitterness in his heart was something only he could understand.

After Lin Bufan left the secret chamber, he went straight to find Lin Yi and explained the situation; a play had thus begun.

To be precise, a high-stakes gamble had thus raised its curtain!

"Brother, this is the last time I will call you brother. From now on, our bond is severed!" Lin Hao smiled miserably, his body falling down powerlessly, and overcome by grief and pain, he fell into a coma!
