Chapter 1274

The fluctuation of this water principle was too strong, directly shattering the spatial seal of the Spirit God Realm.

In the Heavenly Realm, only the Lord of the Seven Seas could wield such potent water principle!

Upon sensing this fluctuation of the water principle, other Heavenly Realm deities were all startled.

"I said there couldn't be no commotion at all—surely the Flame Lord's spatial seal was too tight before; the Lord of the Seven Seas and the Flame Lord have been locked in a war of attrition, and now the Lord of the Seven Seas has finally begun to counterattack."

One deity said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the energy fluctuations within the Spirit God Realm changed drastically again.

Water principle, lightning principle, and flames driven by different divine energies all surged forth.

Though the four principle lords still remained unseen within the Spirit God Realm, the energy ripples from their full-scale assaults had engulfed the entire realm, causing the flames to tremble violently.

Under this violent trembling, some deities sensed the temperature of the boundless flames filling the Spirit God Realm had slightly dropped.

"Bad! The four principle lords are attacking at full strength—I feel the Flame Lord might be struggling to hold on."

One deity's expression turned solemn.

"Yes, these four principle lords must have been studying the Flame Lord's weaknesses all along; they've now broken through his assault, and now it's the Flame Lord's turn to suffer."

Another deity's expression turned solemn.

At present, many deities in the Heavenly Realm actually hoped Lin Yan would win the war.

Earlier, when they saw no movement from the Spirit God Realm for so long, each had wished for some commotion—it would have made sense.

Now, seeing such massive turmoil within the Spirit God Realm, with the four principle lords' power causing such terrifying tremors, they began to worry whether the Flame Lord could hold out!

"Boom!"

The Spirit God Realm shook violently.

"Splash!"

Vast oceans appeared along the outer edges of the Spirit God Realm.

To other deities, this was a clear sign the Lord of the Seven Seas had abandoned caution and was squandering divine energy.

At the Lord of the Seven Seas' level, every ounce of energy used in an attack could be precisely controlled.

But now, the Lord of the Seven Seas, seemingly eager to end the battle quickly, had stopped expending mental effort to finely control his energy.

He was pursuing efficiency, aiming to defeat the Flame Lord as soon as possible.

Under the Lord of the Seven Seas' desperate assault, the flames continued to tremble.

Though the flames still resisted, they were clearly on the defensive.

"Bad!"

Even Venerable Tianlan's beautiful eyes changed.

"If he remains on the defensive, more deities will join in to strike when he's down—even some evil entities will act."

Venerable Tianlan thought.

This was precisely what she truly feared.

When Lin Yan was strong, many principle lords hesitated and dared not act.

Hidden entities would lie deeply dormant, waiting for an opportunity.

But if Lin Yan fell on the defensive against the Lord of the Seven Seas and the other three principle lords, then those hidden principle lords, if they harbored any hostility toward Lin Yan, would likely all make their move, pushing Lin Yan further into disadvantage until he could never turn the tide!

Who doesn't strike when someone's down?

Who doesn't enjoy kicking a man when he's down?

Lin Yan's weakness is now plain to see; if he cannot reverse the situation within a short time, the worst scenario will arrive soon!

Thus, Venerable Tianlan's heart was filled with boundless worry.

Her hand had already gripped her weapon.

She was preparing to act at the critical moment, giving Lin Yan even a sliver of chance to win!

She had not realized at all that this was Lin Yan himself controlling the water principle and lightning principle, then generating divine energy matching the Lord of the Seven Seas' power—a carefully staged performance!

The purpose of this performance was to lure out all other hidden enemies!

In other words, what Venerable Tianlan feared was precisely what Lin Yan anticipated!

"Hahaha! The Flame Lord is about to break! If so, let this old man make his death even quicker!"

A hidden principle lord laughed loudly.

This principle lord also controlled the flame principle, but he had also touched another principle—one not governed by any master deity.

Thus, he had originally intended not to act, since he had two options.

But now that he saw Lin Yan on the defensive, this principle lord decided to strike, ensuring the Flame Lord's total defeat!

If the Flame Lord succeeded, his two options would become one.

Who wouldn't want an extra option?

Yet just as this principle lord prepared to act, his expression turned solemn.

For he felt an utterly terrifying aura plummeting furiously from the infinite heavens.

"What is that?"

He looked up and saw an unmistakable star in the infinite heavens, emitting an unusually brilliant light, crashing toward the Spirit God Realm!

The aura radiating from that star made even this principle lord's spirit tremble uncontrollably.

That was…

An aura utterly superior to his own!

"Five-Star Ancient God!"

The principle lord cried out.

Who else could possess such terrifying might, if not a Five-Star Ancient God?
