Chapter 1699: Intimidation Achieved

How fast the reaction was.

The sudden spatial rupture's fluctuation was like a stone tossed into a fish pond, instantly stirring up shocking waves across the entire battlefield.

In an instant, all Fifth Stage cultivators either subconsciously mobilized rules, preparing to retreat, or were eager to move forward.

Some were greedy, planning to seize the initiative; others were cautious, planning to wait and see.

But regardless of emotion, at this moment everyone's heart involuntarily rose with a strange unease.

Ending...

Isn't it a bit too fast..!?

Under Gul Hong Mo's instigation, although they all 'knew' Lin An had a problem, his strength was definitely not Shatter Star.

That Flame Giant Demon dared to face Lin An, so it must have great confidence.

But in their judgment, Lin An, though not Shatter Star level, should be Star-Destroying, and likely possessed some unusual trump card!

Their battle, no matter what, had to last for a while!

But now, from the moment the two disappeared to the spatial rupture, the elapsed time was less than a second!

Did Lin An die!? Or did one side break this fragile spatial interlayer!?

Amid the chaos where rules interfered everywhere, no one could determine it in such a short time.

Unlike the other eight Star-Destroyers, who had deliberately stayed above the exchange point, the Glorious Lord, the nearest one, now felt immense confidence and joy!

Only seeing him charge forward without hesitation, his body, long-charged with spatial rules, was ready to erupt again!

He was in league with the Flame Giant Demon!

As one of the two Star-Destroying Level cultivators tasked with facing Lin An, he appeared to be responsible for blocking Lin An later, but only he and Gul Hong Mo knew he was actually meant to block the other Star-Destroying Level cultivators!

Lin An isn't even Fifth Stage!

In the countless simulations he and the Flame Giant Demon had run, finding Lin An meant an instant kill!

Therefore, what he truly needed to do was mobilize spatial rules, pretending to want to trap the fleeing Lin An early, but ended up trapping others instead!

Thus, he could give Gul Hong Mo a chance to escape! Fleeing with the kill reward!

After success, they would each receive half of the reward!

"It ended in such a short time! Surely the Flame Giant Demon succeeded!"

"Succeeded! Really succeeded!"

He desperately suppressed the ecstasy that made his heart tremble; in his ecstasy, he even felt he had already seen his future share of the reward!

But the ecstasy did not last long.

No sooner said than done.

Just as the Glorious Lord was about to time it perfectly, the Flame Giant Demon, cooperating, activated the rules.

Under the dark sky, in midair, a hand stained with blood and fire suddenly reached out.

Within the shattered spatial interlayer, Lin An, clad entirely in black armor, slowly stepped out.

And in his right hand, he casually held a huge head, from which fire continually dripped downward.

His head full of white hair, his face hidden behind an evil mask.

Waves of surging rules blew Lin An's white hair; within the shattered spatial interlayer, countless violent rule storms, like giant waves, roared forth as he stepped out.

At a glance, Lin An now resembled a death god walking out of a sea of rules, and within that sea he had slain the god named Flame.

The colors of clashing rules across the sky painted the heavens like a magnificent oil painting.

But at this moment, no one could appreciate any of it.

In an instant, the entire field fell dead silent.

Whether charging forward or retreating, the Star-Destroyers were all like frozen statues, stiff in midair.

If fear had levels, at this moment each Fifth Stage's forehead would likely flare with a heart-rending red.

"Drip-drip"

The sound of molten rock slowly dripping from midair, like an illusion, fell upon each Fifth Stage's heart, striking them so they could hardly breathe.

Dead!?

Gul Hong Mo.... dead!?

The shock was so great that no one dared believe their own eyes.

Even Hei Di, who had prepared to break through, was now as if struck dazed, his whole body shuddering.

Instantly, his heart was overcome with tumultuous waves.

He had always thought he understood Lin An best, and that his judgment was flawless.

But this scene before him was like a slap telling him he was terribly wrong, laughably wrong!

Instant kill! It was actually an instant kill!

What limited strength, what limited rules!? Fake! All fake! He was just playing a fool's game with Lin An!

Too terrifying! This is truly too terrifying!!

Fear instantly boiled over.

Extreme shock seemed to ignite every Fifth Stage at this moment.

In an instant, nearly a thousand Fifth Stage cultivators above the fortress, like a boiling pot, went madly fleeing!

What are you still doing here!?

The Flame Giant Demon died! Killed in an instant!

A Star-Destroying Level cultivator couldn't withstand even a second before Lin An, meaning they too would meet the same fate!

Flee! Flee! Flee

"Boom!!!"

In an extremely short time, all the Fifth Stage and Star-Destroying Level who had reacted were like screaming mice, frightened and turned to flee.

In an instant, the sky above the fortress seemed to turn into scattered fireworks; everyone was desperately fleeing at top speed, and even in extreme fear, some Star-Destroying Level simply abandoned their kin and rushed madly out of the fortress without looking back.

At this moment, they even hated themselves for having laid so many space seals!

If they delayed even a second, they might die!

The situation changed in an instant.

In the face of death, the potential of these Fifth Stage seemed to be stimulated to the limit.

In less than a second, the Fifth Stage army that had filled the fortress sky was instantly cleared away. Violent, the space rules opened just for escape came one after another, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared amidst cries of 'take me away!'.

Over three hundred War Star Level were abandoned by the Star-Destroyers; in Lin An's eyes, he even saw the nearest Lord of Radiance like a jumping beam of light, screaming for mercy while teleporting away with a whoosh whoosh whoosh.

"Don't kill me!! Please spare my life!!"

That pleas for mercy, sounding like tearful sobbing and extreme terror, were stretched and distorted in each spatial jump.

At a speed that Lin An could not even follow with his eyes, in an instant he jumped a thousand li away.

But if the frightened Lord of Radiance turned his head, he would likely be shocked to discover that, in the aftermath of the rules erupted from his desperate flight, Lin An at this moment could no longer bear it, and could not even stand steady.
