Chapter 83: Run! Run! Run!

~9 min read 1,639 words

"Let me go, please... I beg you, I don't want to die."

Tian Ni's eyes bulged, his pupils filled with unwillingness and despair, and in the end, he begged directly.

The woman smiled eerily: "Begging me is useless!"

Having said that, her other withered hand pressed onto Tian Ni's face, instantly releasing a terrifying suction force!

"Ahhh...!"

Tian Ni let out continuous screams, and the Imperial Light around his body, under this unprecedented Devouring power, was like a candle flame meeting a hurricane, extinguishing rapidly!

Even Lin Potian's Devouring Dao Law was not as fierce as this strange woman's suction!

In just the blink of an eye, Tian Ni's body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, his skin clinging to his skeleton, and finally... after turning into a lifeless dried corpse, he was casually tossed onto the ground and scattered with the wind!

The strange woman shook her head continuously, looking disappointed: "Boring, too weak. This bit isn't enough for recovery. I heard them mention Lin Potian; he must be a formidable figure, so... I'll devour him."

Having said that, she looked toward the position of Central Heaven...

She changed direction, her body stiff, and walked toward there.

Time passed in a flash; in the void, smoke rose in curls, gradually thinning until the last wisp of smoke dissipated, and the remaining incense tip fell with a "snap."

One stick of incense... burned out!

Lin Potian opened his eyes instantly, looked at the Great Emperors kneeling neatly, and walked over.

"Fellow Daoist Potian, please spare us. We are innocent!"

The hearts of the Great Emperors pounded wildly, their toes curling in tension. They couldn't help but look around at the sea of people, the dense crowd of watching cultivators, and instantly made up their minds: if Lin Potian really wanted them to die, then...

They would drag everyone down with them!

"Put away your schemes. Since you have come, I will not kill you, but you must atone for your crimes with merit."

Lin Potian only glanced at them to know the thoughts of these Great Emperors. Now, in his eyes, Great Emperors were no different from a few-year-old child.

As for why he did not kill them, Lin Potian had his own ideas.

"Fine, Fellow Daoist Potian, you speak. How do you want us to atone for our crimes?"

The Great Emperors were overjoyed and almost stood up one after another.

Lin Potian's gaze was faint as he looked down: "I didn't tell you to stand up. Kneel properly."

"Yes..."

Having said that, with a thud!

All the Great Emperors present knelt down, heads lowered, looking sheepish, fearing they would be targeted by Lin Potian.

The cultivators watching the scene didn't even dare to breathe loudly. A scene like Great Emperors kneeling was something they wouldn't even dare to imagine in their dreams!

And it was dozens of Great Emperors kneeling; the cultivators had long been shocked into numbness...

Seeing this, Lin Potian calmly transmitted his voice: "Now that Yiyu is advancing step by step and has occupied most of the Heavens, you go and atone for your crimes by driving them out."

Lin Potian chose to transmit these words, not letting the many cultivators hear them.

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperors looked troubled and also chose to transmit their voices: "This, Fellow Daoist Potian, you might not know, but they in Yiyu have Heavenly Venerables, and Immortal Kings. Aren't we just going to our deaths?"

Lin Potian laughed directly, his expression suddenly turning serious: "Do you think I wouldn't know?"

"Heavenly Venerables, Immortal Kings, and the like—I will handle them."

"You only need to deal with the Yiyu Great Emperors."

As his voice fell, his fingers moved as fast as flowing light, pointing at the forty-two Great Emperors present, and he transmitted faintly:

"Two paths. First, atone for your crimes. Don't think about escaping; I have already planted a forbidden technique in your bodies. I can monitor your every move at any time. Whoever doesn't work hard will... go 'bang'!"

"As for the second, it is to settle accounts, and you will die right now."

The Great Emperors immediately shivered, believing Lin Potian's words implicitly. They scrambled, forgetting even to transmit their voices, and hurriedly said: "I choose one, I choose one!!! I want to go and fight Yiyu to the death!"

The many cultivators present were confused. What 'one'?

Why were they suddenly going to fight Yiyu to the death? What was going on?

Were they really that kind-hearted?

Lin Potian's eyes were profound. He nodded slightly, looked back at the many cultivators, and chuckled while clapping: "As expected of the Great Emperors of my Human Race. Seeing the living beings of the Heavens suffering, they scramble to drive out Yiyu and restore the glory of the Heavens. This level of awareness is truly high! Come, let us express our lofty gratitude to them with the warmest applause!"

Clap, clap, clap!

"Cultivators of the Heavens, thank the Great Emperors!"

A wave of overwhelming applause mixed with words of thanks erupted frantically. Many people felt they had wronged this group of Great Emperors from the Emperor Alliance and felt extremely ashamed in their hearts.

"This... is truly being put on a spit to roast!"

These forty-two Great Emperors were instantly ashamed. If it weren't for the forbidden technique Lin Potian had placed in their bodies, they truly wouldn't want to go!

Seeing the expressions of these Great Emperors, Lin Potian felt disdain in his heart and thought to himself: 'If I hadn't sensed that the wisp of Immortal Emperor Qi in my body was about to dissipate, and the Mysterious Shroud was also about to detach from me, and I was about to return to my original early-stage Immortal King cultivation, needing to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, it would not be appropriate to commit too much killing karma. Otherwise, I wouldn't let you off so cheaply, letting you make some contributions and live a few more days!'

"Why didn't these three, Mei Limao, Chun Luren, and Yousuzhi, come?"

Lin Potian waved his hand, took out portraits that he had had Ao Yin draw in advance, and after identifying them for a moment, asked coldly.

That day, these Great Emperors had surrounded Dragonman Star together. Ao Yin had an excellent memory and had recorded the appearance of each of them.

Seeing this, the Great Emperors felt their hearts tighten instantly. They secretly thought it was fortunate they had come, and hurriedly scrambled to say: "They fled, saying that you would definitely not be able to find them, and that coming here would be a dead end anyway, so it was better not to come. We don't know where the three of them went either."

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian sneered: "If they had truly come and shouldered this karma, then so be it. But since you didn't come... don't blame me!"

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and mysterious Runes danced on his fingertips, pointing toward three directions. Then, he suddenly pinched his fingers, and three golden lights, brilliant as the scorching sun, shot out from his palm, tearing through the long sky!

Where the golden light reached, space trembled. In an instant, three thick blood mists exploded in the void!

Following the blood mists were three long bell tolls; that was the Dao sound sent down by the Heavenly Dao for the fall of Great Emperors.

"Potian Great Emperor just made a casual move, and we didn't even see a shadow, yet he executed three Great Emperors!"

"Invincible, a truly invincible person!"

The eyes of the cultivators were terrified, and they couldn't stop gasping!

The Great Emperors present were even more shocked. One had to know that these three were all High-level Great Emperors, yet they were executed by Lin Potian with a single strike from an infinite distance away!

What kind of terrifying cultivation base is this?

They were once again thankful that it was a good thing they had come this time!

Although the probability of death while going to intercept Yiyu was also very high, it was still better than being casually wiped out by Lin Potian, right?

However, just at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

From the void, the previously strange woman stepped out, chewing on the soul that the Mangcang Great Emperor had escaped with, tilting her head to look at Lin Potian, her voice rasping out like a broken bellows: "You, are you Lin Potian?"

"As expected, you are very powerful!"

"But hearing these ants say you are an invincible one? Then let me weigh you, shall I?"

"Ugh!"

"Ugh...!"

Before Lin Potian could even reply, many cultivators present were retching wildly, nearly vomiting up their bile!

They had never seen such a wretched woman; not only did she look like a dried corpse, but her mouth was also growing on her forehead, and her other facial features were also growing in a chaotic mess; if it weren't for her human shape, calling her a human would be giving her too much credit!

If one were to see her at night, it would truly be enough to scare someone to death!

"How can such a freak exist in this world?"

The Great Emperors endured their nausea, frowning and murmuring; having reached the Great Emperor cultivation base, they would not normally be scared by mere appearances.

But they did not see that the palm of the hand Lin Potian held behind his back was already full of sweat, and even his clothes were soaked through with cold sweat!

Because, the moment this strange woman appeared, the Tongtian Command Spirit acted as if it had gone mad, frantically transmitting messages to Lin Potian, its sense of terror beyond measure!

It only said three words:

"Run! Run! Run!"
