Chapter 58: Invasion from Yiyu, What Does It Have to Do with Me?

As the words fell, everyone's footsteps halted instantly, and they turned their heads to look back...

"What, he still has a heartbeat!"

A True Immortal from the Fang Family of the Longevity Families had his pupils shrink at this moment, and he said in horror:

"Not only that, look at his chest!"

Everyone focused their gaze; although Lin Potian's breathing was weak, his aura was becoming increasingly steady and long, and a golden light suddenly burst out from his chest, wrapping his entire body like a golden cocoon!

A sharp-eyed True Immortal recognized it at a glance, his body unable to help but lean forward, and he blurted out: "He, he is actually in Nirvana, wanting to directly start a new life!"

A person beside him was stunned, "What! Fellow Daoist Ji Ge, you aren't joking, are you? Nirvana rebirth?"

"This is an ancient technique, how could Lin Potian have learned it?"

Ji Ge's expression was grave, and he was extremely certain: "He is indeed in Nirvana; I once saw it in the ancient records of my clan, there is no doubt!"

"Hiss...!"

Hearing Ji Ge say this, the crowd, who had previously been suspicious, gasped in cold air and looked at Lin Potian with dread!

As a member of the Ji Family, the first of the Nine Great Longevity Families, the credibility of Ji Ge's words was extremely high!

It is said that after Nirvana, one's combat power increases several times over. If it weren't for the fact that the heavenly tribulation had not yet ended and would indiscriminately attack everyone who entered its range, the crowd would have even wanted to strike directly to plunder Lin Potian's Dao Fruit!

Boom, boom, boom!

The final bolt of Tribulation Lightning rolled within the tribulation clouds, brewing crazily!

The power of this bolt of lightning was even more terrifying than the sum of the previous eight bolts combined, and its color had even turned black!

Ji Ge rubbed his eyes in disbelief and swallowed his saliva: "World-Extinguishing Divine Thunder..."

There was even more horror in the depths of his eyes; this was a terrifying divine thunder recorded in ancient books as being capable of destroying an early-stage Immortal King in one strike, and it specifically targeted the soul!

Even if Lin Potian broke through to become a Red Dust Immortal, he absolutely could not block it!

A Red Dust Immortal only has combat power comparable to an Immortal King, but their soul still remains at the True Immortal level; this is the greatest difference between the two, and also the area where a Red Dust Immortal is weakest compared to an Immortal King.

If they encounter an Immortal King who specializes in the soul, a Red Dust Immortal is at an absolute disadvantage.

"It seems that the Heavens also feel fear toward Lin Potian's talent, actually sending down the World-Extinguishing Divine Thunder to kill him; what a pity."

The previously mentioned True Immortal from the Fang Family shook his head, looking at the golden cocoon in front with regret.

Ji Ge gave a cold, mirthless smile and turned his head to say in a feminine tone:

"Fang Hao, if Lin Potian dies, it is indeed a pity for your Fang Family, which specializes in the soul. Otherwise, if you were to sneak attack him, your Fang Family could have gained another powerful puppet."

Upon hearing this, Fang Hao's sharp gaze instantly turned toward Ji Ge, then his gaze retracted, and he snorted coldly:

"Ji Ge, stop spouting nonsense there. Although your Ji Family is the first of the Longevity Families, my Fang Family is not something that can be slandered at will!"

Having said that, his aura as a True Immortal Perfection erupted!

This person's strength was not the slightest bit weaker than any Heavenly Venerate from Yiyu, only slightly inferior to Ye Tianzun!

Ji Ge wore a mocking expression, no longer meeting force with force, and turned his head back indifferently.

At the same time, the World-Extinguishing Divine Thunder within the tribulation clouds finished brewing and struck down fiercely toward Lin Potian in the golden cocoon below!

The terrifying impact surged over like a tidal wave, suddenly blowing away all the dozen or so True Immortals present!

Tap, tap, tap!

Everyone's figures staggered, and they only managed to stand firm after retreating a light-year away!

Everyone's faces were filled with horror; they all knew the World-Extinguishing Divine Thunder would be strong, but they didn't expect it to be this strong!

If this divine thunder had landed on any one of them, they would not have been able to withstand it!

One gaze after another stared fixedly at the direction where the tribulation lightning fell; the pitch-black lightning rampaged like a giant dragon, devouring everything in the surrounding area!

Under the bombardment of the divine thunder, the golden cocoon wrapping Lin Potian dimmed, and cracks appeared on its surface, as if it would shatter at any moment...

Inside the golden cocoon.

"Spirit, is this method of yours going to work or not! I feel like my head is about to explode!"

Lin Potian smiled bitterly in his heart and sent a voice transmission to the Tongtian Command Spirit.

"It's guaranteed, it's absolutely fine! This is the God-level Nirvana Method left behind by the Master; it's not like those flashy, cheap things outside. Focus your mind, let that World-Extinguishing Divine Thunder temper your soul, make your soul impossible to be obliterated, and simultaneously comprehend the Thunder Dao Law!"

"Alright."

Just as everyone said, Lin Potian was indeed in Nirvana; the Tongtian Command had taught Lin Potian the God-level Nirvana Method as soon as the tribulation began!

"It is indeed so, this Nirvana Method is truly powerful!"

Lin Potian introspected his own soul, his heart filled with joy!

He saw that his soul, which had originally been like a great river, was now surging and magnificent, the golden light dazzling and brilliant, having directly transformed into a golden ocean!

Every wisp of his soul seemed to contain the weight of mountains and rivers, dozens of times stronger than before!

As his soul expanded and covered the area, its range of coverage faintly covered half of the Heavens!

Deep within his soul, a thunder mark shone brightly; the Thunder Dao Law had been successfully comprehended. Lin Potian raised his hand slightly, and with a thought, endless thunder swirled around his body!

Inside the golden cocoon, where the outside world could not see, Lin Potian reached out and summoned the Emperor Weapon, the Ten Thousand Thunder Prison Sea, and was overjoyed: "Old friend, you've become an Immortal Artifact!"

Hum...!

The Ten Thousand Thunder Prison Sea emitted a hum, responding to Lin Potian. The power of lightning flowing upon it was all golden thunder; it was no longer what it used to be and had already stepped into the ranks of Immortal Artifacts!

"Thunder Net Covers All!"

With a thought in his heart, Lin Potian unleashed a divine ability, and the Ten Thousand Thunder Prison Sea instantly transformed into a sky-covering thunder net, obeying his every command!

Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Thunder Prison Sea was one of Lin Potian's life-bound artifacts. If Lin Potian were to ascend to become an Immortal King one day, the golden thunder within it would transform into World-Extinguishing Divine Thunder!

The Ten Thousand Thunder Prison Sea would then ascend along with him, achieving the status of an Immortal King Artifact!

Lin Potian sat cross-legged in the golden cocoon, opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and murmured in a low voice: "It's time to go out; time waits for no one."

Immediately, he stood up abruptly, and the cracks on the surface of the golden cocoon suddenly widened!

Boom!

Brilliant golden light burst forth from within, so dazzling that the True Immortals outside were completely unable to look directly at it!

Tap, tap...

Lin Potian was surrounded by a faint golden light as he slowly walked out from the golden cocoon, every step treading upon the rhythm of heaven and earth; his eyes flickered, one appearing to contain ten thousand stars, while the other was ravaged by thunder!

Thunder Dao Rule and Star Dao Principle converged in his eyes!

Dark Devouring power swirled around his left arm, while scorching Flame surged from his right!

Devouring Dao Law and Flame Dao Law were refined into his arms!

A golden Dao Seed flickered in and out of view on his chest; that was Eternity!

With the five Great Dao laws gathered together, the corners of Lin Potian's mouth curled up: "I am lacking nothing now!"

"So strong, is this a Red Dust Immortal?"

Ji Ge's pupils shrank to the size of needle points; the pressure from Lin Potian was truly too great, and he even felt that not even the reclusive Immortal Kings of his clan necessarily possessed such terrifying might!

The faint golden light surrounding Lin Potian gradually receded, and his gaze, like a torch, swept across the surroundings; he recognized many of the people here, and his brows lifted slightly:

"Ji Ge, Fang Hao, why are you here? And Zhong Lin, why are you here too? Are you still planning to hunt me down?"

"Oh right, Fang Hao, don't tell me you also want to ambush me, erase my consciousness, and refine me into a Spirit Puppet?"

Lin Potian looked at Fang Hao with extreme mockery.

Fang Hao remained silent, his fists clenched tightly, his head lowered, not daring to act out in the slightest.

Having said that, Lin Potian's gaze turned toward the only female Immortal present, whose name was Zhong Lin.

If one were to speak of it, Lin Potian had once been hunted down by her.

As for Fang Hao, he was even more of an enemy; Lin Potian had once ascended to the Highest Heaven to counter-slay a True Immortal, and the one he slew was this Fang Hao!

There was no other reason; this guy had sacrificed hundreds of millions of cultivators and mortals to refine Spirit Puppets!

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lin said indifferently: "You know what you did back then, so why blame me for hunting you down?"

Lin Potian coughed dryly, his expression changing slightly: "Why bring up things from the past?"

Zhong Lin rolled her eyes in annoyance and sent a voice transmission: "That year you peeked at me bathing and refused to take responsibility; can this matter just be counted as nothing?"

"We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later!"

Lin Potian cried out in his heart that he was wronged; he really hadn't seen anything that year, it was a misunderstanding, but there was no time to explain now, so he could only wait to talk about it later.

Swish, swish, swish...!

The remaining True Immortals present saw Lin Potian pass the Heavenly Tribulation unscathed, and they all cast unkind gazes; the atmosphere instantly froze like ice!

The Heavens did not need such a powerful Red Dust Immortal; the cake of the Heavens was only so big, and if there were one more Red Dust Immortal, there simply wouldn't be enough to go around!

Fang Hao kept his head lowered with a gloomy expression, his fists clenched tightly, not daring to look directly at Lin Potian at all.

Back then, he, a mid-stage True Immortal, had almost been counter-slain by Lin Potian, who was at the peak of the Great Emperor realm, and he already had a shadow in his heart...

Not to mention that Lin Potian had now cultivated into a Red Dust Immortal!

Ji Ge's eyes were sinister, as if he were calculating something; he slowly stepped forward, his voice cold as a winter wind blowing through a forest:

"Lin Potian, since you have broken through and your strength has greatly increased, you have a responsibility to contribute to these Zhutian Wanjie!"

"Now that the Boundary Sea has been breached, the Imperial Pass has fallen, and the demons and monsters of Yiyu are restless, I command you to depart immediately to guard the Heavenly Gap and protect the peace of our Heavens!"

Having said that, he waved his sleeve, and scenes of the Boundary Sea region appeared in mid-air, with Yiyu cultivators running rampant, black energy filling the sky, and slaughter occurring everywhere!

Ji Ge was certain that someone like Lin Potian, who could guard the Heavenly Gap alone for one hundred thousand years, must care for the world; using this tactic to force him to leave had a high chance of success!

"That's right, Lin Potian, you understand Yiyu the best; now that you have become a Red Dust Immortal, your combat power rivals an Immortal King, so it is most appropriate for you to go and quell the rebellion!"

"..."

The many True Immortals present all began to press him.

"Brother Lin, put aside past grudges; this matter truly cannot be done without you."

Fang Hao also spoke up, thick-skinned.

Only Zhong Lin secretly sent a voice transmission: "Don't go, they will harm you!"

Zhong Lin only dared to send a voice transmission; if she had said this directly, she would have instantly become the target of everyone, and she simply dared not!

How could Lin Potian not know?

Furthermore, he really didn't want to deal with these troublesome matters anymore; he had been worthy of everyone, but the Heavens had been unworthy of him!

Lin Potian's expression was cold, his gaze disdainful, and a look of contempt curled at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Ji Ge, his voice cold as frost:

"Yiyu invasion? What does that have to do with me? Why don't you go?"

Having said that, the aura around Lin Potian instantly surged, pressing directly toward Ji Ge!
