Chapter 1299

Even if the Evil God's methods are even more bizarre, they are ultimately things unfit for the light of day.

How could they compare to the grandeur of the Heavenly Realm?

The Evil God can only sneak around and pull underhanded tricks—they still cannot stand toe-to-toe with the Heavenly Realm.

Only the Abyss and the Dark Abyss Prison are capable of standing toe-to-toe with the Heavenly Realm.

Immediately after, the Evil God turned his gaze toward that blazing star.

No, that was not a star—it was the corpse of a Five-Star Ancient God!

Even though this Five-Star Ancient God had already perished, the aura radiating from his massive corpse still spread boundlessly in all directions.

This aura caused many gods to choke on breath!

"Such a powerful Ancient God was killed—the Heavenly Realm's landscape will surely change drastically. I wonder if I can gain some advantage from it."

Thought the Evil God.

Immediately after, the Evil God began to sense.

In his special perception, within the corpse of the Five-Star Ancient God, there was a soul powerful enough to be nearly invincible.

The moment the Evil God sensed that soul, he involuntarily trembled.

He quickly retracted his spiritual perception, buried it deep, and dared not move again.

"Too powerful!"

Merely sensing the other's soul made him feel as if he could not breathe.

This Evil God could not even summon the thought of opposing such a being.

Lin Yan's strength had reached the point where, even without doing anything, he could intimidate all evil entities.

Petty villains dared not even entertain the notion of opposing him.

Inside the corpse of the Five-Star Ancient God, Lin Yan's flame form began attempting to imprint the Flame Dao onto the Dao.

He continuously burned a tiny region of the Flame Dao with minute subflames.

Through this method, Lin Yan could continually familiarize himself with the Flame Dao's backlash.

And after Lin Yan began this process, the tremors on the Dao level suddenly accelerated.

Know that while preparing to imprint the Dao, Lin Yan was also attempting to leave a soul mark.

This meant Lin Yan was disturbing the Flame Dao from two directions simultaneously.

Naturally, the tremors on the Dao level became extraordinarily frequent!

And the changes on the Dao level soon stirred the attention of the watching Heavenly Realm gods and the hidden entities.

"Did you sense it?"

A god said with a Face Turned Solemn.

Beside him, another god nodded.

Clearly, he had sensed it too.

The two gods exchanged glances, and the first one spoke:

"The tremors on the Dao level seem to have become even more frequent."

"I feel the same."

Said the other god.

"Does this mean the Flame Lord is about to succeed?"

Said the first god.

"I heard that ascending to a Lord God involves multiple steps—the Flame Lord hasn't even completed the first step yet. If he succeeds this time, it'll only be the first step, right?"

Said a third god.

"Yes, that's true—but even succeeding in the first step is remarkable. I heard that when the first step succeeds, it's the most perilous moment. I wonder if any enemies will come to ambush the Flame Lord."

Said a fourth god.

"The strongest Five-Star Ancient God has been killed, seven Dao Lords have been slain, and the Evil Gods have been wiped out—what enemy would dare come to ambush the Flame Lord?"

Said a god.

"Have you forgotten the Abyss?"

Asked another god in return.

The Abyss!

These two words stirred unrest among the surrounding gods.

"With the Flame Lord's strength, ordinary Abyss Demon Gods wouldn't dare act. If the Abyss wants to stop him, it would require the intervention of a Lord God. I've heard that in past ages, a being who nearly broke through to Lord God was defeated when the two Lord Gods of the Abyss and the Dark Abyss Prison struck from afar simultaneously."

At this moment, a god who had lived an extremely long time spoke.

"If the Abyss Lord Gods act, won't our own Lord Gods intervene?"

Said a god who clearly was a new god.

Around him, several other gods glanced at him but said nothing.

After Lin Yan caused such a commotion, the gods of the Heavenly Realm had learned many things they had never known before.

For example, previously these gods didn't even know the Ancient God realm—now they all knew that the most powerful among Ancient Gods were the Five-Star Ancient Gods.

Also, previously, Heavenly Realm gods had very little understanding of Lord Gods.

Now, even moderately powerful gods had gained considerable knowledge about Lord Gods.

Some even stronger gods had even deduced the Heavenly Realm Lord Gods' attitude toward the "tenth" Lord God.

But regarding matters of Lord Gods, even if these gods held clear answers in their hearts, they would never speak them aloud.

What if a Lord God overheard?

After the tremors on the Dao level became frequent, a great discussion erupted among the watching gods.

And in other, quieter, more silent, and higher levels, the masters of hidden laws were likewise stirred.

"The tremors are intensifying so quickly—he's likely about to leave a soul imprint."

One master of law murmured to himself.

The first step toward becoming a Primordial God is to leave a soul imprint upon a law.

The second step is to hold onto that soul imprint.

The law itself that the master of law seeks to control will retaliate.

But the law's own retaliation is negligible compared to the backlash of the Balance Law.

To survive the Balance Law's backlash, it is virtually impossible without forging one's own Primordial God Form, Primordial God Body, or even Primordial God Weapon.

On the Continent of Gods, the Balance Law surpasses all else.

All laws are subject to its restraint.

In a sense, encountering sabotage from other deities during a Primordial God breakthrough can also be seen as a form of Balance Law backlash.

"Truly a prodigy of heaven—if he can withstand the Balance Law's backlash and then survive any other possible attacks, this time, you Baifenbai Society will succeed."

One master of law gazed with extraordinary light at the massive ancient god corpse.

This master of law sincerely hoped Lin Yan would break through to Primordial God.

Compared to the numerous masters of law who had no conflict with Lin Yan, those who also sought to control the Flame Law were far from pleased.

Yet, no matter how displeased they were, none now had any intention of acting.

They could only watch helplessly as Lin Yan slowly moved toward success.

"Wait. The Abyss and the Dark Abyss will surely act."

Some masters of law seeking to control the Flame Law placed their hopes on the Abyss and the Dark Abyss.

After all, the Abyss Primordial God and the Dark Primordial God had acted before!

At this moment, within the Dark Abyss, countless demons were frantically surging toward a certain spatial passage.

Through this spatial passage, these demons could reach the edge of the Heavenly Realm.

Yet this spatial passage was extremely unstable, requiring the Abyss Primordial God to expend power to maintain its stability.

Moreover, this passage gradually developed blockages over time, and the Abyss demons would clear obstacles as they entered, ensuring the Abyss army could pass smoothly.

These were precisely the reasons the Abyss needed vast amounts of time to reach the Heavenly Realm.

Only when the Abyss army reached a critical threshold would the Heavenly Realm begin its preparations.

In fact, the gods of the Heavenly Realm had already begun preparing spontaneously.

Gods do not face the same complications as ordinary mortals in warfare.

Once the Abyss truly ascends, all the Heavenly Realm's gods need is a single passage—they can instantly descend en masse!

At the edge of the countless Abyss forces, a pair of eyes hidden within the darkness blinked.
