Chapter 80: No More Pretending, the Ji Family of the Heavens—Extinguished!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Potian arrived at the Highest Heaven, and with another step, he reached above the Ji Family!

Boom—!

In an instant, dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning intertwined, and strange phenomena emerged!

Lin Potian formed a seal with one hand, summoned his Dharma Image, and grasped the entire Ji Family into his palm!

Every member of the Ji Family was present; they did not think of fleeing, because they could not escape at all!

When Lin Potian left, he had already sealed off the entire Ji Family!

Walking with lotuses blooming at every step, he arrived before his Dharma Image. Looking at the terrified Ji clansmen, Lin Potian felt not a shred of pity, only the relief of one who knows that the success of a general is built upon ten thousand withered bones.

He understood very well that if the Meteor Emperor Curse had truly cursed him to death, or if the Ji Family's instigation of the Emperor Alliance to deal with the Lin Family had succeeded, the Lin Family's fate would likely have been the same!

However, Lin Potian was in no rush at this moment. The Lin clansmen of the Heaven-Reaching Order had not yet emerged from seclusion, so to leave it for future generations to judge, he took out the list of the Ji Family's crimes he had already compiled.

His lips parted slightly, and he used great magical power to proclaim to the entire Highest Heaven, beginning to read the crimes committed by the Ji Family!

"Thirty thousand years ago, the Immortal King of the Ji Family, Ji Wuzhong, used Heavenly Fire to burn down the Lin Family's library, causing our Lin Family to decline and wither rapidly. He then instigated the Emperor Alliance to support the Imperial Clan Wang Family in targeting our Lin Family, resulting in heavy casualties and bringing us to the brink of extinction. This is the first crime!"

"Ji Wuzhong abducted the soul of my younger sister, Lin Wan'er. This is the second crime!"

"The True Immortal of the Ji Family, Ji Ge, once used the Meteor Emperor Curse on me, attempting to curse me to death. This is the third crime!"

"The Immortal King Ji Wuhui ambushed my son, Lin Wuliu, and nearly caused him to perish. This is the fourth crime!"

"The fifth..."

"The sixth..."

"..."

"Therefore, I sentence your Ji Family to be struck from the records from this day forth!"

Lin Potian listed seven crimes in one breath, and the Ji Family members listened in despair—how could they have committed so many crimes!

They truly had not expected that not only was Lin Potian peerlessly powerful today, but he was also so cultured. By listing the seven deadly sins, he had made the extermination of their clan sound perfectly reasonable and well-founded!

The more Ji Wuhui heard, the paler his face became!

"Lin Potian, I hope you will show mercy and spare our Ji Family. I, Ji Wuhui... plead guilty! But my Ji clansmen are innocent! They have already been slaughtered by you once; is that not enough to appease your rage?"

Ji Wuhui trembled incessantly, then suddenly knelt down, bowing his head to Lin Potian and begging for mercy repeatedly, yet his eyes darted about—was he trying to stall for time?

Staring at Ji Wuhui, Lin Potian's eyes brightened for a moment. Relying on his advantage in cultivation realm, he instantly saw through his thoughts, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth as he thought to himself: "I was wondering why this old fellow suddenly changed his nature; so that's what it is!"

"To think you still want to turn the tables in a desperate situation. I really intended to spare those shorter than a carriage wheel, but since you are like this... I can only flatten you all!"

Lin Potian's killing intent peaked once more. It was just as the old saying went: the spring breeze blows, and they grow again; one must cut the weeds and dig up the roots!

The reason was simple: in the back mountains of the Ji Family, ten altars set ten thousand meters underground were glowing with a faint, bloody light!

If Lin Potian hadn't been cautious for a moment, he would have almost missed it!

On the altars sat various True Immortals and clansmen with Great Emperor cultivation from the Ji Family, sparing no effort to guide the members of the Immortal Domain Ji Family to the lower realm!

Although Ji Lushen could not come down, the Immortal Domain Ji Family had plenty of people!

By activating ten altars at once, the Ji Family appeared to have submitted on the surface, but in reality, they wanted to fight Lin Potian once more!

Now that the Ji clansmen were participating in this, the last shred of pity in Lin Potian's heart vanished.

"You lot, you truly must die!"

Lin Potian's gaze turned icy, and he raised his hand to press down toward the back mountains of the Ji Family!

He struck down with one palm!

He shattered the entire back mountain of the Ji Family instantly. As for the altars, they were turned directly into powder; after a few screams echoed from within, there was not a sound left!

As for those True Immortals and Great Emperors of the Ji Family who were maintaining the altars, they didn't even have time to scream before their physical bodies exploded and their souls were destroyed!

Between heaven and earth, silence fell in an instant!

"Hiss... how terrifying!"

Following this, the sound of people gasping in shock rose from among the Longevity Families who were watching the show!

As for the Ji clansmen, their faces were filled with despair, their eyes hollow.

"Lin Potian... ahhh, you will die a horrible death!"

Ji Wuhui scrambled up from the ground, the humility from just moments ago completely gone, replaced by a roar like a mad dog!

"Noisy."

Lin Potian's patience had been exhausted; he raised his hand and slapped!

Bang...!

He slapped Ji Wuhui directly into a pulp of flesh, not even allowing his soul to escape before it exploded along with him!

"No...!"

The eyes of the Ji Family members turned blood-red in an instant; looking at Lin Potian, they wished they could tear him apart and devour him!

Lin Potian looked at this group of people expressionlessly. Originally, regarding the matter of exterminating the clan, the battle between good and evil in his heart had been constant, thinking that perhaps some were unaware of the truth, but seeing these gazes that wished to tear him to shreds...

Evil thoughts finally overcame his good intentions!

He reached out and summoned... the Heaven-Slaying Indestructible Sword!

"Wait! Lin Potian, didn't you say you wouldn't kill the Ji clansmen who were not taller than a carriage wheel?"

With Ji Wuhui slapped to death, Ji Wuzhong panicked completely, suddenly remembering the words Lin Potian had spoken two days ago, and clung to them as his final straw!

Lin Potian paused and nodded, "I did indeed say that. Then go ahead and compare yourselves; I am a person who keeps his promises."

Having said that, the Ji Family members, as if they had found their final lifeline, brought out the extra-large, extra-wide carriage wheels they had prepared in advance!

The height was enough to reach that of an adult man!

Even if laid flat, more than half of the Ji Family could survive!

The Ji Family members now acted as if their spines had been broken, hunching over one by one to stand and compare themselves. Those who were not taller than the wheel were overjoyed!

Those who were taller than the wheel wished they could chop their legs off immediately!

This scene was too ridiculous; Lin Potian suppressed the laughter in his heart, raised his hand, flicked a finger, and shattered the carriage wheel directly!

He then took out a normal-sized carriage wheel and placed it flat on the ground.

He swept his gaze over the dumbfounded members of the Ji Family and spoke in a cold voice:

"The rules are set by me. Now, shall we compete again?"

Ji Wuzhong was stunned at the sight, his face turning deathly pale in an instant; he had thought of two ways to compete beforehand, so he had someone custom-make an oversized wheel in advance!

But he truly had not expected Lin Potian to flip the chessboard directly and stop even pretending!

With this method of competition, even a newborn infant would surely die!

Even an earthworm passing by would have to be slashed once!

Ji Wuzhong could not help but reveal a miserable smile, roaring like a wild beast: "Lin Potian, do you really have to do this? By doing this, how are you any different from us? You were willing to guard the Heavenly Gap for one hundred thousand years to protect the entire Heavens; is it really impossible for you to spare my Ji Family?"

His words, infused with magic power, likewise spread throughout the entire Highest Heaven, and sighs could be heard from many Longevity Families at this moment.

Lin Potian frowned slightly; was this old brat trying to stand on the moral high ground to criticize him?

What a pity, he had no morals!

Lin Potian unleashed his aura, suppressing those sighs directly with his might!

Pfft... pfft-pfft!

The sounds of vomiting blood echoed continuously between heaven and earth!

Lin Potian enunciated every word, his cold shout resounding:

"Who among you has ever acknowledged the hard work and merit of me, Lin Potian, guarding the Heavenly Gap for one hundred thousand years? Did your Fang Family, Zhong Family, Gao Family, Chen Family, Zhao Family, or perhaps the Shi Family acknowledge it? When I was worn to the bone at the Heavenly Gap, who came to replace me? Now it's fine, you sit here enjoying the fruits of others' labor, and you still have the face to sigh?"

"I want to ask, where is your shame!"

"Now that the Boundary Sea has fallen and the Imperial Pass has been lost, the advancing footsteps of Yiyu have already occupied more than half of the Heavens; do you useless Longevity Families who have done absolutely nothing still have the nerve to sigh?"

Lin Potian was filled with towering rage, launching an indiscriminate verbal attack on all the Longevity Families; if not for the fear of destabilizing the Heavens, he would deal with anyone who dared to show their face right now!

Not convinced?

If you aren't convinced, you'll just have to hold it in!

Sure enough, as his voice fell, there was not a single sound, and it was only after a long while that there were occasional sounds of people curling their toes in embarrassment.

Seeing that no one was supporting the Ji Family, Ji Wuzhong hardened his heart, simply gave up on everything, and roared: "Lin Potian, are you not afraid of being cursed by future generations after wiping out my Ji Family and committing such a sin?"

"What would it hurt to forgive us once? Your Lin Family is currently unscathed, why must you drive my Ji Family to extinction?"

Lin Potian listened patiently until the end, only feeling it was laughable; he was already too lazy to speak, these people were not worthy of listening!

He spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "Forgiveness is something a Saint does."

Ji Wuzhong was overjoyed and hurriedly followed the lead: "Aren't you a Saint? If you can spare my Ji Family this time, the entire Heavens will believe that you, Lin Potian, are a great Saint who lets bygones be bygones and turns hostility into friendship!"

Lin Potian spread his hands again, looking coy, rubbed the tip of his nose, and spoke right off the cuff:

"But I am not a Saint; I am an Immortal Emperor now, so what does a Saint forgiving you have to do with me, Lin Potian?"

Having said that, he immediately glared and shouted: "Calling me, an ant, a Saint? You actually dare to insult me like this; this is truly a crime upon a crime, death upon death!"

"Lin Potian, I... screw you!"

Ji Wuzhong was dumbfounded and couldn't help but curse loudly, but before he could finish...

Lin Potian slapped down with one palm!

He slapped him directly into a pulp of flesh!

Ji Wuzhong—dead!

Immediately after, having played enough, he slapped his palm down toward the vast Ji Family!

Bang, bang, bang!

The sound of bones and flesh shattering was incessant!

The Ji Family of the Heavens, completely annihilated!

Blood even splashed onto Lin Potian's face; he wiped it away expressionlessly, muttering to himself: "In fact, if it weren't for the fact that your Ji Family still needs to lure people from the Immortal Domain down, the kindness in my heart would have almost gained the upper hand; it's a pity that since you are like this, I have no choice but to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots."

After speaking, he didn't even look again and prepared to leave directly.

He had already delayed for half an hour in this Highest Heaven; Lin Potian felt that those enemies who hadn't been wiped out yet must be very anxious, right?

He couldn't keep them waiting too long!

Just at this moment, a delicate voice came from behind:

"Lin Potian, wait a moment!"
