Chapter 3: Alien Invasion, Quelling the Chaos Single-Handedly!

Upon hearing this, the light of hope flickered once again in Lin Bufan's eyes!

But at this moment, beyond hundreds of millions of Boundary Seas, a heavy sound of frustration rang out!

"Blast it, one hundred thousand years have passed; the Everlasting Lamp must have expired!"

"Oh my! I was wondering why, even after these few days have passed, my clansmen still haven't been able to provide me with guidance!"

Lin Potian suddenly realized his mistake and called himself careless, pacing back and forth anxiously above the Boundary Sea.

This caused countless realms within the Boundary Sea to tremble, making them think a Heavenly Tribulation had descended upon the world!

After a moment, Lin Potian thought of one remaining method!

That is...

To hold a Divine Sacrifice!

This was a contingency he had left behind when he departed.

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Potian rested his chin in his hand and sighed, "Sigh, I just don't know if any descendants still know of this method..."

"I never imagined that after I single-handedly quelled the Yiyu turmoil and guarded the Heavenly Gap for one hundred thousand years, my own clansmen would end up on the verge of extinction!"

Lin Potian felt increasingly furious; he truly wished he could return immediately!

Meanwhile, in the Taixuan Realm, at the Lin Family main hall.

Lin Yanran was organizing the clansmen to force out their essence blood into the Lin Family's Nirvana Pool, waiting anxiously for the final step!

"Yanran, are you sure this method is truly effective?"

Lin Bufan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression extremely anxious.

Lin Yanran shook her head and said dejectedly, "I don't know, but we are at the end of our rope, and there is no other way... is there?"

She had once seen a technique called the Divine Sacrifice in an ancient book of the clan, which involved fusing the essence blood of the clansmen and using the pure blood of a newborn infant as Guidance to gather the strength of the entire clan to establish a connection with lost ancestors and point them toward the direction of home!

The reason Lin Yanran thought of this method was because her second aunt was about to give birth, which had just reminded her!

Counting the days, today was the due date!

But whether this Divine Sacrifice technique was real or fake, Lin Yanran had no way of knowing...

But now, there was no other way.

She had to bite the bullet and give it a try!

Upon hearing this, Lin Bufan's brows knitted together; he looked up at the sky and sighed faintly, "What if... there is a glimmer of hope after all."

"Yes, what if there is," Lin Yanran replied with little enthusiasm, feeling immense guilt in her heart.

If it weren't for her accidentally killing the Wang Family prodigy, the Wang Family might not have come to invade.

Not long after the two finished speaking...

A wail was heard!

The cry of an infant came from the inner chambers!

The sky rumbled with a boom, and lightning flashed and thunder rolled!

The Lin Family members, who had previously worn heavy expressions, all stood up!

Tap, tap, tap!

The midwife hurried out holding the newborn infant, and Lin Bufan took it with trembling hands!

Looking at the adorable appearance of the newborn, Lin Bufan's eyes turned red:

"May the heavens protect my Lin Family!"

Having said that, he resolutely pricked a small hole in the infant's hand!

A drop of pure essence blood dripped into the Nirvana Pool!

"Waa... waa!"

Following the infant's cries, a heaven-shaking change occurred in the Nirvana Pool!

Boom!

A pillar of blood shot straight into the clouds!

Seeing this, Lin Yanran continuously performed hand seals according to the technique in the ancient book, calling out in her heart:

"Ancestor, are you truly still alive? If you are still alive, please return quickly!"

"The Lin Family is about to perish!"

The call spanned hundreds of millions of miles...

Lin Potian, sitting cross-legged above the Boundary Sea, suddenly opened his eyes!

He had received the call from his clansmen!

And he confirmed the coordinates immediately!

Lin Potian parted his lips slightly and responded with excitement:

"I am here, I have always been here!"

Lin Yanran received the message instantly and wept with joy, "Ancestor, you are truly still alive! Please return quickly, we need you!"

Countless Lin Family disciples heard this and wept while clutching their heads!

Tears streamed down Lin Bufan's tiger-like eyes!

He knew the Ancestor had not lied to him; he was truly still alive!

That Potian Ancestor who suppressed all races ten thousand years ago, quelled turmoil, killed until no one in the world dared to claim supremacy, and voluntarily guarded the Heavenly Gap for the sake of the Zhutian Wanjie—the man honored by the world as the Potian Great Emperor...

Was still alive!

Lin Bufan could not help but roar at the sky in excitement:

"Wait to start anew, to restore the old mountains and rivers! The Lin Family shall exist forever, and the Ancestor... is immortal!"

Lin Potian was also incredibly excited; he immediately rose from the Boundary Sea, preparing to descend upon the Taixuan Realm with a single thought!

But just at this moment, the already sealed Heavenly Gap was ruthlessly torn open by five giant hands that covered the sky!

Hundreds of millions of figures with fierce glints in their eyes looked at him like wolves and tigers!

The five terrifying powerhouses leading them were even more powerful to the point of making one tremble!

Merely by standing there, countless great worlds were on the verge of collapsing!

The reason was none other than that they were, every one of them...

Great Emperors!

Lin Potian's figure stiffened, his pupils shrinking slightly:

"Damn it, they actually chose this moment to intercept me!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Potian quickly sent a voice transmission to Lin Yanran:

"Tribesmen, the ancestor has encountered some trouble; Yiyu... has invaded! I need to reseal the Heavenly Gap, which will likely take some effort, and I cannot descend to the Taixuan Realm immediately. You must hold on for a period of time, at most three hours. Once I resolve this trouble, I will return immediately!"

Lin Yanran was stunned, "Ancestor, Ancestor!"

But the connection had already been severed; she could no longer reach him.

The surrounding Lin Family members saw this and immediately crowded around, asking anxiously in a cacophony of voices:

"Yanran, when will the ancestor return? In two more hours, the Wang Family will launch their troops against our Lin Family!"

Lin Bufan also crowded over and said in a deep voice: "Yanran, what did the ancestor say?"

Lin Yanran only felt the world spinning and her hands and feet turning cold; she couldn't hear the crowd's questions at all, her mind a complete blank!

After a long while, she answered the crowd with a trembling body:

"The ancestor... the ancestor said Yiyu has invaded, and he must seal the Heavenly Gap first. He can only descend after three hours."

Lin Bufan's expression relaxed for an instant, "That's fine, as long as he can return... No, three hours!"

His expression froze instantly!

If he returns in three hours, what will be left of the Lin Family?

A shattered egg yolk?

Or an anthill poured with molten silver?

In just a single breath, the Lin Family members felt as if they had fallen from the clouds into an abyss, sinking into deep despair!

One after another, Lin Family tribesmen knelt on the ground, pounding the earth and wailing loudly:

"Ancestor, are you abandoning us? What does the Yiyu invasion have to do with our Lin Family! You have already guarded the world for one hundred thousand years, is that not enough?"

"But now, if you don't return, our Lin Family will be destroyed!"

In just a few short words, it spoke directly to the hearts of the Lin Family members!

They did not understand, could the Yiyu invasion be more important than the imminent destruction of the Lin Family?

Even if it were, the ancestor had already stood guard for one hundred thousand years!

Was that not enough?

Many people hung their heads in dejection, their faces ashen, and they smiled bitterly in despair:

"The ancestor... perhaps he has already abandoned us."

Bang!

Lin Bufan, who had been silent and had not spoken, finally couldn't help but erupt after hearing this sentence!

He slammed the table and stood up!

His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared with intense emotion:

"The ancestor will absolutely not abandon us!"

"With the Yiyu invasion, what we should do is not complain about the ancestor, but find a way to help the ancestor return as soon as possible! He has encountered trouble, so we should do our utmost and use all our strength to share the burden for the ancestor!"

"Instead of... complaining and blaming others here!"

"Remember the glory of our ancestors; the ancestor guarding the world is the honor of our Lin Family, it is our glory!"

"We can sacrifice our essence blood for the ancestor to help him; yes! Sacrifice... essence blood!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Many Lin Family disciples raised their heads, the fire in their hearts seemingly ignited!

"Patriarch, then we shall sacrifice our essence blood! For the ancestor, I, Lin Yi, am willing even to climb a mountain of blades or descend into a sea of fire!"

"We are too!"

The young prodigy Lin Hao was the first to stand out, his eyes filled with determination!

Many Lin Family prodigies stood out one after another to respond, their faces also written with determination!

But there were also many Lin Family disciples with decent talent who remained silent...

Because sacrificing essence blood might not only cause their cultivation to regress, but in serious cases, even their talent for the Dao would drop significantly!

Lin Bufan looked at everyone's mixed reactions and felt it was nothing but normal.

The clan had never been of one mind; if they were truly united as one, the Lin Family would not have declined to such a state.

He only looked with gratification at the fine young men willing to sacrifice their essence blood and spoke softly:

"First evacuate the women and children, then we shall offer our essence blood to... the ancestor!"

"Yanran, you understand how to perform the divine sacrifice, so you shall preside over it!"

"Yanran understands!"

Lin Yanran nodded heavily, her fists clenched tight!

Drip... drip

Drops of essence blood continuously fell into the Nirvana Pool, yet there was not a single complaint on the faces of the Lin Family members; they were doing their utmost!

To welcome the ancestor's return!

At this moment, in the Boundary Sea ten thousand times ten thousand miles away.

"Lin Potian, you are old. Your blood energy has dried up, and even your seal has been easily broken through by us! Hehe, if you are sensible, leave quickly, and do not throw away your precious life!"

"Or, join us, and we guarantee to honor you just like Dizun, as the Emperor among Emperors!"

The five Great Emperors of Yiyu looked at Lin Potian and spoke in low voices.

Lin Potian dismissed them with disdain, not moved in the slightest!

"Where did these few stray kittens come from, daring to speak so boastfully to me? As for joining you, apologies, I have no interest in scum living in the darkness!"

Having said that, Lin Potian prepared to strike!

But his current state was very poor; one hundred thousand years of guarding had caused his own blood energy to dry up, and if he did not strike first to seal the Heavenly Gap again as quickly as possible and end the battle, then whether he could return...

... was an unknown.

But just as he was about to strike, Lin Potian suddenly felt a continuous stream of essence blood surging into his body!

He immediately understood that this was the power of his bloodline!

His clansmen were assisting him!

Lin Potian felt a warmth in his heart and did not refuse.

He needed this essence blood to nourish his dried-up Imperial body.

The next second, Lin Potian reached out and beckoned, and the ten thousand times ten thousand mile thunder pool hanging over the Heavenly Gap slammed down to cover the hundreds of millions of Yiyu soldiers!

This was his other Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, the Wanlei Tianlao Pool!

At the same time, the five Great Emperors of the alien race struck together, choosing to surround and kill him!

Only then could they demonstrate their respect for Lin Potian!

Furthermore, only by attacking together did the five Emperors feel they could bring Lin Potian to a final end!

The Human Race's Strongest Great Emperor, Lin Potian's prestige of a full one hundred thousand years, had suppressed Yiyu for too long, far too long!

And it was precisely because they saw that Lin Potian's blood energy was dried up and he was about to depart that they prepared to completely slaughter Lin Potian, and then...

... invade Zhutian Wanjie!

To treat all living beings as blood food and begin a gluttonous feast!
