Chapter 1536: Trap! Lin Yan

In the Dark Abyss, the rapid shift in the situation surpassed everyone's expectations.

As Xihua's power surged, every Lord God's expression changed at once.

"Supreme!"

Lord of Conspiracy, Jimifuer, cried out in shock.

Clearly, the fact that Xihua was a Supreme being had caused even the usually composed, perpetually scheming Lord of Conspiracy to lose his composure!

Not just the Lord of Conspiracy.

The other Lord Gods of Heaven also changed their expressions.

Even the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean were greatly startled.

When they first entered the Dark Abyss, Xihua's power was hidden; she stood silently beside Lin Yan, making them believe she was merely a Dark Lord God.

In fact, historically, Xihua had been extremely formidable.

As an entity that had dominated an entire era for countless years, even before becoming a Supreme, wherever Xihua went, her aura would overwhelm the heavens and earth, often causing the inhabitants of several star regions to tremble and submit in fear.

But after her battle with the Shadow, she suppressed all her activities to preserve her power, sat motionless on a cliff for countless years, and stood in stalemate with the Shadow for countless years!

At that time, even when Lin Yan first met her, he had merely thought she was a Dark Lord God.

He never imagined she was actually a Supreme-level powerhouse.

If Lin Yan had not used the power of time to rewind, he would never have made such a connection.

Who could have imagined that an entity sitting motionless on a cliff for countless years, with her power steadily draining, was in fact a Supreme?

Thus, the shock felt by the Lord Gods was easily understandable.

Yet, at the same time as they were stunned, the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean both felt a sudden relief.

They had originally been deeply worried about Lin Yan.

Even after transforming into his flame form, Lin Yan seemed utterly powerless against the Shadow, repeatedly forced to retract his flames under its attacks, appearing in extreme danger.

And just then, the Lord of Light had emerged to stab him in the back, cutting off his escape route.

Even if only one Dark Lord God from Heaven had sided with the Lord of Light, if the Lord of Light moved aggressively, he would still cause Lin Yan considerable trouble.

But now, with Xihua's sudden action and the revelation of her Supreme-level power, the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of the Ocean instantly felt relieved.

Lin Yan had a Supreme-level ally!

And it seemed Lin Yan and Xihua had been planning this for a long time.

Thus, the heavy stone in their hearts nearly fell to the ground.

Beside them, Venerable Tianlan also relaxed.

In terms of concern for Lin Yan, Venerable Tianlan was no less than they were.

And Venerable Tianlan had long been aware of Lin Yan's flame form.

After all, to remove that trace of temporal power from her, Lin Yan's flames had penetrated deep into her body, scanning every cell until he finally located the temporal power.

At that time, Venerable Tianlan was still Tianlan Zunzhu, yet she was a Law Lord—how could she not have known Lin Yan's flame form?

But she had never spoken of it, helping Lin Yan conceal this core secret.

On one hand, it was due to her feelings accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

On the other hand, at that time, she had been thoroughly examined inside and out by Lin Yan.

She had already considered herself Lin Yan's.

So she was willing to guard his secret.

And when Lin Yan's flame form was exposed, she was the first Lord God to step unhesitatingly before him.

She had even planned to fight to the death for Lin Yan.

But Xihua's action gave Venerable Tianlan hope!

Supreme!

Although Venerable Tianlan did not know Xihua's origins, the fact that Xihua had stood beside Lin Yan was enough to explain everything!

"How could there be another Supreme!"

The Lord of Light felt a growing sense of dread.

The current situation was completely beyond his expectations.

Xihua showed no intention of answering him.

Xihua's expression was cold and stern, showing no trace of emotion; as her power erupted, she launched a terrifyingly fierce attack.

The Lord of Light was greatly alarmed—he assumed Xihua would target him.

But he overestimated himself.

Even as a powerful Lord God, to a Supreme-level being, he was not worth distinguishing.

Xihua's target was not them!

It was the Shadow!

Xihua struck out with one palm toward the Shadow; the power surging from her hand was the utmost darkness, yet not entirely identical to the Shadow's power…

This was the power Xihua forged by analyzing darkness and using darkness to combat darkness.

This, too, was Supreme power.

The Shadow was locked in battle with Lin Yan; sensing Xihua's attack, it showed a Solemn expression.

Xihua, despite being newly entered into the Supreme level, had once fought the Shadow to mutual ruin and imprisoned it beneath the Sea of Darkness for countless years—this alone proved her strength.

Thus, the Shadow would not underestimate Xihua's attack.

It immediately abandoned Lin Yan, roared, and unleashed its full strength to confront Xihua.

"Trouble!"

Seeing this, the Lord of Light felt a rising sense of dread.

He vaguely felt……

It seemed……

He had leapt into a massive trap.

And this trap had been set specifically for him.

No, to be precise, it was aimed at him and all the other Main Gods who opposed Lin Yan.

"Quick, retreat!"

The God of Light roared out.

In fact, the God of Conspiracy was already retreating.

The God of Conspiracy was most adept at schemes and tricks; whatever the God of Light could think of, the God of Conspiracy had long since thought of as well.

But they had all come out already—still wanting to retreat, how could that be possible!

Wanting to retreat—too late!

He saw that after Xihua had restrained the Black Shadow, the flames that had withdrawn from the battle with the Black Shadow suddenly surged.

In an instant, those towering flames multiplied countless times over.
