Chapter 69: Trapped in a Desperate Situation, Three Figures Crush the Highest Heaven!
Moreover, this person even calls himself "this Emperor"…
Lin Potian could not help but feel his heart sink to the bottom of the valley.
Step, step…
A tall man wearing Purple Armor walked slowly out from the main gate of the Ji Family; every gesture he made sounded like the roar of tigers and the cry of dragons, and every step he took caused the ground to tremble slightly.
A faint purple light flowed over the armor, and his eyes, exposed to the outside, were as sharp as an eagle's, staring straight at Lin Potian above the void in the distance.
Lin Potian also looked over, and in the eyes of this man in Purple Armor, he saw only contempt and disdain.
The man in Purple Armor tilted his head slightly and spoke: "So you are Lin Potian. I really didn't expect that I would be sent down to deal with an ant at the Red Dust Immortal Mid-Stage…"
His tone carried extreme speechlessness and looking down on him.
Lin Potian did not refute; setting aside the divine abilities and cultivation arts of those from the Immortal Domain, just speaking of the cultivation realm alone, the gap was completely far ahead.
The man in Purple Armor walked out of the Ji Family, and a purple Heavenly Ladder rushed from the horizon to beneath his feet; surrounded by purple light, he then stepped onto the ladder, approaching Lin Potian step by step.
Lin Potian felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy; he kept his hands behind his back, secretly brewing the Burning Fury Fire Lotus and Glory World Golden Thunder, while simultaneously quietly circulating his Star Power.
"Is this an Immortal Emperor?"
Ji Wuhui stood not far away with a look of envy; the purple Heavenly Ladder spreading out and walking upon it was truly imposing!
Even those Longevity Families that had closed their mountain gates were quietly watching.
"Ancestor, what realm is an Emperor?"
A descendant of a Longevity Family asked their clan's Immortal King ancestor.
"An Emperor should be a realm above an Immortal King, right? Unfortunately, the Immortal Path of the Heavens is severed; after reaching the Immortal King realm, there is no path forward."
The questioned Immortal King ancestor sighed endlessly and shook his head repeatedly.
"Hiss—!"
Upon hearing this answer, the sounds of gasping and swallowing saliva rose one after another!
"Wait, an Emperor actually came down to deal with Lin Potian personally??"
A voice from a corner was exceptionally abrupt!
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this; they hadn't even realized this point just now!
It was actually an Emperor who personally took action to deal with Lin Potian!
"Lin Potian, who carries the Strongest Great Emperor, has been advancing triumphantly and bravely all the way since stepping onto the Immortal Path."
"That day, he not only directly wiped out the first of the Longevity Families, the Ji Family, but two Ji Family Immortal Kings were treated like monkeys and couldn't do anything to him, and in the end, Lin Potian walked away!"
"It's a pity, today an Emperor has personally come down to deal with him… and Lin Potian is not at his peak; Ji Wuhui ambushed his Immortal Body, and now his combat strength is likely less than half!"
An Immortal King powerhouse sighed with admiration, but the look in his eyes as he watched Lin Potian was full of pity.
Remembering that Lin Potian had once guarded the Heavenly Gap for one hundred thousand years, contributing to the Heavens and protecting the peace of the Heavens for one hundred thousand years, this Immortal King felt even more regret.
"Look, that Emperor has already walked in front of Lin Potian."
A hurried voice rang out, drawing everyone's gaze to the front line!
The man in Purple Armor stood still in front of Lin Potian and said indifferently: "This Emperor gives you two choices. First, hand over that semi-broken Tongtian Command and then commit suicide."
"Second, I will wipe you out with a wave of my hand and refine you into a Corpse Puppet. Furthermore, after doing so, I will be very unhappy; I will personally go find the Tongtian Command and then refine all your Lin Family clansmen hiding in the Tongtian Command into Corpse Puppets. They will never be reincarnated for all eternity!"
The man in Purple Armor used the calmest tone to say what he considered to be the most natural thing.
Lin Potian's expression stiffened; did the man in Purple Armor before him actually recognize the Tongtian Command?
But thinking that he came from the Immortal Domain Ji Family, that was a behemoth different from the Ji Family of these Zhutian Wanjie!
"Before I choose, can you tell me who is dealing with me?"
Lin Potian only wanted to know the answer to this question; this question had puzzled him for far too long!
In his memory, he had never offended the Ji Family, let alone this Immortal Domain Ji Family!
The man in Purple Armor gave a cold laugh:
"A dead man doesn't need to know so much. You only need to know not to offend people you can't afford to offend in your next life, and to understand what things can be touched and what things cannot!"
"Alright, your nonsense is truly too much. Choose!"
Lin Potian was still confused; this was too ambiguous. The only person he knew who could be related to the Immortal Domain was one.
Liuli.
'What things can be touched, what things cannot, wait! Liuli, Heaven-Condemned Person…'
Lin Potian suddenly understood some things!
But the man in Purple Armor urged him again: "Choose quickly!"
This man in Purple Armor was none other than that Ji Family guard who descended from the sky, Ji Ba!
At this moment, he was exceptionally irritable; to be sent down to deal with a Red Dust Immortal was simply too much of a waste of talent!
If it were an Immortal King Perfection or something, Ji Ba would find it easier to think about, but Lin Potian was actually just a cultivator at the Red Dust Immortal Mid-Stage. Although his combat strength was heaven-defying—to the point that even the Immortal King Late-Stage Ji Wuhui couldn't do anything to him—a Red Dust Immortal was truly just an ant!
A Red Dust Immortal was just an alternative True Immortal; in the end, he was still a True Immortal, two major realms away from him, Ji Ba!
"I choose… the third one!"
Lin Potian instantly threw out the Burning Fury Fire Lotus and Glory World Golden Thunder he had already been brewing!
At the same time, he channeled his Star Power, and a meteorite as large as a Star fell from the sky, crashing straight toward Ji Ba's head!
"Then this Emperor will assume you chose the second, to be refined into a Corpse Puppet by me! There is a path to heaven you do not take, and there is no gate to hell, yet you throw yourself in!"
Ji Ba gave a cold laugh, raised his hand with dense Dao Law, and directly dissipated more than half of Lin Potian's attack, then used his physical body to directly withstand the three great divine abilities, not retreating even a single step!
No, his right foot moved a tiny bit, but it was not very obvious!
Lin Potian's pupils shrank violently; he had thought the Immortal Emperor would be strong, but he really hadn't expected the gap to be this large. Just as the Tongtian Command Spirit said, it was like a Heavenly Gap!
Although he was not at his peak, if five percent of his strength could only push him back a tiny bit, then in his peak state, how much could he push him back?
Half a step, one step?
For a moment, a sense of powerlessness washed over Lin Potian; the gap in cultivation realms had become so great that nothing could compensate for it...
"This farce, akin to that of a clown, should end now."
Ji Ba spoke in a low voice, then clenched his hand into a fist and struck directly at Lin Potian!
With the unleashing of this punch, the heavens and earth fell silent!
With a boom, Lin Potian's already cracked Immortal Body was shattered in half!
The fragmented Immortal Body was like broken porcelain, and a faint scent of blood permeated the air...
Lin Potian flew backward, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, trying his best to recover, but the speed of recovery could not keep up with the speed of disintegration!
Seeing the terrifying power of this punch, Ji Wuhui could not help but have his eyelids twitch wildly, exclaiming in shock: "Is this the Great Emperor? Even I, in my prime and uninjured, would likely be unable to withstand this!"
Ji Ba looked toward the constantly crumbling Lin Potian; his voice was not loud, but it resounded throughout the heavens and earth:
"Below the Great Emperor, all are ants!"
"In this world, this Emperor is invincible!"
Having said this, the heavens and earth fell silent once more!
Countless pairs of eyes fell upon Ji Ba; there was not a shred of disbelief, only deep awe and fear!
Lin Potian continued to fall, no longer able to hear what Ji Ba was saying, accompanied only by the whistling wind.
He had never suffered such heavy injuries; not even when he was struck by the Meteor Emperor Curse in the Heavenly Gap and nearly exhausted his lifespan had it been this severe!
Compared to this, that was entirely insignificant!
"So sleepy..."
Lin Potian felt his eyelids fighting, about to close; his heart was filled only with bitterness. The opponent was truly too terrifying, and this solo journey to the Highest Heaven had ended in defeat, leaving only desolation and unwillingness.
Boom, boom, boom!
But just at this moment, the situation suddenly changed again!
High above, looking down on all living beings, Ji Ba looked up with a solemn expression...
Only to see three streaks of light forcefully break through the blockade of the Highest Heaven; three young men arrived together, directly crushing the void!
Extreme rage filled the faces of all three!
One stepped forward on the left and one on the right, divine light erupting from their bodies, pressing toward Ji Ba. Seeing they were only two at Immortal King Perfection, Ji Ba became somewhat careless, and then...
He was actually suppressed directly!
"Are you kidding me!"
Ji Ba was stunned and horrified, his heart pounding; he actually had no way to completely suppress these two, being held back by them and unable to break free, forced to contend with them on equal terms!
The one in the very center did not hesitate at all, flying down to catch Lin Potian's broken body, tears streaming down his face; his Double Pupil swirled, restoring Lin Potian's injuries and temporarily halting the disintegration of Lin Potian's body.
Lin Potian opened his eyes faintly, saw the man's face, and immediately filled with tears. Touching the man's face, he endured the excruciating pain and said intermittently: "Wunian, my good son, why have you come?"
Looking at Lin Potian's injuries, Lin Wunian suppressed the pain in his heart and forced a smile: "It was your Heaven-Reaching Order that summoned us, Dad. Not just me, Wuliu and Wuli have come too!"
Lin Potian was startled, turning his head slightly to look at the cold-faced Lin Wuliu and Lin Wuli who were contending with Ji Ba above. Out of concern for their safety, he said solemnly: "My good son, take your two brothers and leave quickly. This person's strength is too terrifying; it is absolutely not something you can resist! Dad is fine, really fine, you must go!"
Lin Wunian shook his head repeatedly, then revealed a smile and said:
"Dad, you are still so stubborn. You're about to be beaten to death, and you're still 'fine'? Alright, you rest first, don't speak, and leave the battlefield to us!"
Lin Potian wanted to say more, but the Heaven-Reaching Order broke through the air at that moment and sucked him in without further ado!
Immediately, Lin Wunian's smile vanished, replaced by endless coldness. He turned to look at Ji Ba, activated his Double Pupil, and joined the battlefield directly!
As soon as he joined, the battle that had been a stalemate instantly became one-sided!
Ji Ba was bewildered. What kind of relationship did these three have with Lin Potian? How were they so fierce? They were clearly only at Immortal King Perfection, yet they fought him until he was nearly breathless; one moment of carelessness and he would fall into a disadvantage!
One had to know that below the Great Emperor, all were ants; logically, an early-stage Great Emperor should be able to fight ten Immortal King Perfections without even catching his breath!
Yet these mere three Immortal King Perfections had forced him into a desperate situation!
