Chapter 171

The man in black sensed Lin Bai’s firmness and determination. A flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes, but he immediately suppressed the wavering in his heart and unleashed a vast, dark power once more, attempting to swallow Lin Bai whole.

However, Lin Bai suddenly shifted his sword stance, executing a bizarre sword technique. The sword light, like a ghostly shadow, pierced through the gaps in the dark power, striking straight at the man in black’s vitals.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sword hum rang out. The sword light collided violently with the dark power, triggering an unparalleled explosion. A massive shockwave swept across the wilderness, shattering mountain peaks and instantly tearing the air asunder.

When the shockwave subsided, everyone stared wide-eyed. They saw the figure of the man in black collapse, dissolving into a patch of darkness that dissipated. Lin Bai stood in his original spot, his robes unruffled, the precious sword in his hand radiating the glow of victory.

The entire battle was filled with shock and disbelief. With his own strength and determination, Lin Bai had defeated a man in black who possessed the strength of the Supreme Realm, accomplishing an incredible feat.

At this moment, the history of the No Beginning Sacred Ground and indeed the entire continent would undoubtedly be rewritten because of Lin Bai’s feat.

The first person in the world to slay a Supreme Realm expert while in the Golden Core Realm!

To what an exaggerated extent this must be!

Seeing Lin Bai successfully kill the Supreme Realm man in black, Meng Zi and the others were instantly filled with disbelief and joy. Their eyes flashed with excitement, unable to believe everything that had just occurred before them.

An unconcealable excitement appeared on Meng Zi’s face. She could hardly believe her own eyes: "He, he actually did it! Lin Bai really killed a Supreme Realm expert! This is too incredible!"

Beside her, Elder Ouyang Lan also clenched her fists in excitement. Her voice was full of fervor: "Too amazing! Lin Bai’s strength has already surpassed our imagination! He truly broke the mysterious taboo of the No Beginning Sacred Ground!"

The others present also fell into a state of excitement. Watching Lin Bai’s victory, they couldn't help but feel hope and pride.

Hua Xue’er shook her head in excitement, exclaiming: "I never imagined that one day we would witness such a feat. Lin Bai is truly a legend of the No Beginning Sacred Ground!"

The other prodigies said with full admiration: "Lin Bai’s perseverance and determination are examples worthy of every cultivator’s study. His victory is not just a personal greatness, but also an encouragement and inspiration to us all!"

A firm light flickered in Meng Zi’s eyes. She took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Lin Bai’s victory proves that a cultivator’s power is immeasurable. We must be like him, forging ahead, never giving up, and keeping our original intent!"

Everyone nodded one after another. Their hearts were filled with admiration for Lin Bai and anticipation for the future. They believed that as long as they struggled and strove, everyone had the possibility of creating their own miracles.

Meng Zi looked at Lin Bai standing in the middle of the battlefield, her heart surging with excitement. She made up her mind to strive to catch up with Lin Bai’s footsteps and would surely create her own brilliance on the path of cultivation in the future.

At this moment, the hope and confidence in the hearts of Meng Zi and the others were reignited!

Because Lin Bai had broken a curse that had lasted for tens of thousands of years!

That one cannot kill across realms!

Yet Lin Bai, relying solely on his Golden Core Realm strength, had slain a Supreme Realm expert!

One can imagine how maddening this must be!

……

At the same time!

When the great powers of the No Beginning Sacred Ground witnessed the moment Lin Bai truly killed the Supreme Realm expert, they felt an unprecedented shock and disbelief.

This scene left a deep mark in their hearts, causing their inner worlds to churn in shock.

For a time, the eyes of these great powers were filled with incredulity; their pupils seemed to bulge outward, as if they could not believe what they were seeing.

As the top experts of the No Beginning Sacred Ground, they had been through countless battles and seen countless experts clash, but such a scene was unprecedented.

In their hearts, Supreme Realm experts had always been insurmountable existences, the peak of their power, and symbols of invincibility.

Yet now, Lin Bai had single-handedly killed this fearless expert. This was simply unimaginable to them.

They found it hard to accept this fact, as it was a shock to the faith deeply rooted in their hearts.

Amidst the shock, these great powers began to ponder: Just what kind of divine being was Lin Bai? His strength was actually so terrifying, surpassing their understanding.

After all, 'cannot kill across realms' was a rule defaulted to by the whole world!

But Lin Bai had broken it!

Their self-esteem had been dealt a huge challenge, because the Supreme Realm was a height that these top great powers could only hope to reach in their entire lives; some were not even at the Supreme Realm yet!

But now, Lin Bai’s actions were tantamount to challenging the entire cultivation hierarchy!

A feeling of incredulity surged within the hearts of these great powers. They began to doubt the system and values they believed in, and began to reflect on everything they had held onto until now.

The appearance of Lin Bai undoubtedly brought them a major impact, causing them to question their past concepts.

However, from the disbelief and shock, these great powers gradually began to harbor a deep sense of awe.

They began to understand that Lin Bai’s strength could not be underestimated. He was a true expert, an existence capable of defying the heavens. His appearance had changed the landscape of the entire continent and challenged their limits.

Driven by this psychological change, these great powers gradually began to accept Lin Bai’s existence and held an inexplicable anticipation for him.

They longed to witness more miracles regarding Lin Bai, hoping to draw strength from him and find opportunities to break through their own limits.

But some still held onto a glimmer of hope!

They desperately prayed for the man in black to stand up. After all, this position had been held by an Elder of the No Beginning Sacred Ground for thousands of years!

He had already been a Supreme Realm expert thousands of years ago. Now that thousands of years had passed, although his strength had not improved, his foundation was still there.

It was impossible to be defeated so easily!

They were still fantasizing about the appearance of a miracle!

Just as everyone thought Lin Bai had achieved a complete victory and the Supreme Realm expert’s body had been thoroughly destroyed, the figure of the man in black suddenly stood up again, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble uncontrollably.

The body of the man in black, like shattered ceramic, rapidly healed and condensed once more!

This left everyone shocked, as it was truly beyond their scope of understanding.

The man in black could not die, as if he were not restricted by time or death. What a terrifying existence this was!

The man in black stood in the middle of the battlefield, his gaze cold and disdainful, as if he had seen through everything.

He sighed with emotion, as if mocking the naivety and ignorance of the crowd. "Ridiculous, did you think this was all I had?"

His voice was low and mocking, filled with an irresistible majesty.
