Chapter 1016

At this moment, a deafening crash echoed through the layer of rules!

"She's going to succeed!"

The divine lords all turned their gazes toward the Goddess of Eternal Night.

The Goddess of Eternal Night was only a sheet of paper away from the fourth layer!

Puncture that sheet, and the Goddess of Eternal Night would become a formal fourth-layer deity!

Many divine lords still refused to accept it!

For example, Lord Lanxu!

Yet, after learning Lin Yan was a fourth-layer power, Lord Lanxu dared not step forward again—he could only direct his gaze toward the Tianlan Zunzhu!

After Lin Yan shattered the Tianlan Zunzhu's divine force hand with a single strike, the Tianlan Zunzhu's gaze grew even deeper.

"It's been thousands of years since a fourth-layer deity was born. So, was the half-minute fluctuation in the Sun caused by you?"

The Tianlan Zunzhu did not strike again—he asked.

Hearing his words, the other divine lords all turned their gazes toward Lin Yan.

The half-minute fluctuation!

They still clearly remembered how the Ironhorn Divine Lord had confidently declared that if anyone broke through to the fourth layer within that half-minute, he would recognize them as his father.

But Ironhorn Divine Lord had already turned to ash—he no longer needed such a son.

Lin Yan retracted his hand and stood there calmly, saying:

"Correct!"

"It's really him!"

One divine lord couldn't help exclaiming!

The other divine lords again stared at Lin Yan with shock and fear!

In the Sun, that fluctuation had lasted too short a time.

So short that many divine lords hadn't even reached the region before the fluctuation vanished.

And such a thing had never occurred in the history of the Heavenly Realm!

So every divine lord was a little confused.

Yet if anyone claimed they could break through to the fourth layer in half a minute, these divine lords would have sneered!

Even without any interference against the Goddess of Eternal Night, she needed at least half a month to break through to the fourth layer.

Breaking through to the fourth layer was inherently difficult.

Yet Lin Yan had actually broken through in half a minute!

These divine lords did not believe Lin Yan was lying!

His power was right there for all to see!

More importantly, there had never before been a Flame Lord in the Heavenly Realm!

If Lin Yan hadn't broken through during that half-minute, when had he done it?

The few fourth-layer deities in the Heavenly Realm now all had traceable origins!

Only Lin Yan had appeared out of nowhere!

No wonder these divine lords couldn't help exclaiming!

They all stared at Lin Yan as if he were a prodigy.

"So it's him!"

Behind Lin Yan, the Goddess of Eternal Night, though still breaking through to the fourth layer, kept her gaze fixed on Lin Yan's back.

Because she was so close to Lin Yan, she noticed more details.

For instance, when facing attacks from over twenty divine lords and the Tianlan Zunzhu, Lin Yan hadn't even moved his body when he struck back!

He stood before her like a great mountain!

No matter how fierce the wind or towering the waves, he remained utterly unmoved!

Such Lin Yan was not only terrifyingly powerful—he also filled the Goddess of Eternal Night with profound safety!

It seemed that behind him was not merely the safest place in the world!

The Goddess of Eternal Night had indeed sensed the half-minute fluctuation.

At first, when she felt the fluctuation, her holy spirits had secretly rejoiced.

For in the eyes of her female holy spirits, someone else was sharing the burden of the goddess!

But after just half a minute, the tremor vanished.

This left the Goddess of Eternal Night utterly baffled.

Now, at last, she understood.

The reason the fluctuation vanished was not because some deity had gone mad and tried, then given up.

It was because he had succeeded outright!

Heaven!

Breaking through to the fourth layer in half a minute!

To the Goddess of Eternal Night, this was unimaginable!

She had been striving for so long, and only now was she at the final step.

Half a minute…

She hadn't even finished her preparations!

"Who is he?"

The Goddess of Eternal Night wondered.

Suddenly, Lin Yan became extraordinarily mysterious in her eyes.

Mysterious, and captivating.

She couldn't help but want to learn everything about Lin Yan!

"The young are formidable!"

The Tianlan Zunzhu spoke again.

"Breaking through to the fourth tier in half a minute—I have never seen such a thing in tens of thousands of years. Even if you were one of those mighty beings from eons past, wounded and slumbering, under the changed laws of heaven and earth, you could never achieve such speed. Do you know what is now the most valuable thing in my eyes?"

The Tianlan Zunzhu said.

Lin Yan looked at him calmly, saying nothing.

The Tianlan Zunzhu's gaze instantly became razor-sharp.

"Right now, the most valuable thing has become you!"

The Tianlan Zunzhu asked and answered himself, finally revealing the answer.

The Tianlan Zunzhu's words stirred the Shen Zhu around him.

"There's still a chance!"

Some Shen Zhu who had been preparing to leave thought.

Others remained firm and left this place, refusing to get involved in this mess.

"If the Tianlan Zunzhu can defeat the Flame Lord, I still have a chance to stop the Eternal Night Goddess!"

Not far away, the white-robed Lan Xu Shen Zhu murmured.

He would not accept defeat so easily.

If he failed, all his prior sacrifices would be in vain.

Moreover, he had struck the hardest—once the Eternal Night Goddess broke through to the fourth tier, his days would be miserable!

Thus, Lan Xu Shen Zhu's determination to intercept the Eternal Night Goddess was fierce and unshakable.

"It looks like a great battle is about to erupt between the fourth-tier ones! The Tianlan Zunzhu is an old-hand fourth-tier, powerful and deeply accumulated—I wonder if the Flame Lord can beat him?"

Some Shen Zhu were merely here for the spectacle!

After speaking, the Tianlan Zunzhu's armor fused together!

The armor was entirely composed of some black divine substance, terrifyingly powerful!

In his hand, a scepter appeared!

"The fourth tier is not an end—it is a beginning. Today, I shall show you that the gap between fourth-tier beings can be as vast as heaven and earth!"

The Tianlan Zunzhu's aura began to rise.

"Shen Zhu, be careful!"

Beside Lin Yan, Weiwei's small face showed worry.
