Chapter 721 721: The Heavenly Emperor Treads on Time, Dominating This Era!
SLAP!
The crisp, resonating sound of a slap rang out as Qin Heng struck across the air, landing it directly on Lin Sanfa's face.
He struck the arrogant Mortal Walker of the Imperial Palace of Heaven, a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor, so hard his face was contorted and his mouth gushed blood. Even his divine soul was injured. His vision darkened, and he nearly fainted!
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Qin Heng looked at Lin Sanfa with a strange expression, as if peering at an idiot, and said, "Killing you is like slaughtering a chicken. Who gave you the audacity to threaten me?"
HISS!
The onlookers couldn't help but inhale sharply, looking at Qin Heng with disbelief and utter shock.
"Holy shit! Qin Xuantian's guts are too big! Did he not hear clearly who Lin Sanfa is?"
"Madman! This is truly a madman! I thought him slaying the Saint of the Sun Temple was crazy enough! I never expected he would dare to slap a Mortal Walker of the Imperial Palace of Heaven!"
"Fearless of heaven and earth, does Qin Xuantian really take the evaluation given to him by the Tianshi Sect to heart, believing he's truly the greatest of all time?"
"Looking for death! Truly seeking death! The Lord of the Imperial Palace of Heaven might have even become a Great Emperor by now! Yet he still dares to be so reckless!!"
"Qin Xuantian is done for!"
No one believed that Qin Heng could withstand the might of the Imperial Palace of Heaven.
A powerhouse close to the Great Emperor's level!
Nearly four hundred Saint Emperors, Deities as numerous as clouds, Saint Kings like rain, and probably countless Great Saints, while those at the Saint level might merely serve as foot soldiers!
Who in the world could oppose this?
None!
No one could provoke such an Imperial Palace of Heaven!
Qin Xuantian was doomed without a doubt!
"Damn it! Damn it! Beast! Beast!!" Lin Sanfa raged to the extreme. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair stood on end, and his entire body trembled. Staring intently at Qin Heng, he bellowed through gritted teeth, "Qin Xuantian, you dare to scorn the Imperial Palace of Heaven! You dare to do this to its Mortal Walker! This is a heinous crime! In ancient times, you would have been thrown into the depths of the Nine Nether and tormented for eternity! Even now, your sins are enormous and unforgivable! You little beast, just you wait! Wait! Soon, powerful experts from the Imperial Palace of Heaven will come to kill you! To kill your parents! To kill your kin and friends! To kill everyone related to you! HA HA HA! Qin Xuantian, you ignorant little beast, enjoy the last moments of your life! Savor what is called despair! HA HA HA... AHHH!!"
Lin Sanfa's laughter cut off abruptly. He suddenly screamed again, his cries agonizing and piercing, a truly heart-wrenching sound!
Simultaneously, the sickening CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! of bones being crushed and flesh turning to pulp could be heard!
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Waves of air erupted outwards, clearly from a tremendous force colliding. The impact compressed the air, whipping up a violent wind that made the surrounding Innates struggle to stand, and even the Semi-Saints were terror-stricken!
"My God!"
"Qin Xuantian really doesn't want to live!!"
"He's gone mad! Completely mad!!"
The crowd was dumbfounded, extremely frightened, with expressions of disbelief on their faces!
It turned out that the giant hand pressing down had sunk a few inches further. The ground beneath, seemingly reinforced by a Spell, refused to give way or crack further. The combined pressure directly crushed Lin Sanfa's legs into pulp!
It caused him unbearable pain!
Even though Lin Sanfa had already surpassed the pinnacle of the Saint realm and could be called a Saint Lord, the sudden crushing of his legs by Qin Heng's palm still made him feel unparalleled agony!
Not to mention, Qin Heng's attacks were never limited to the body; they also targeted Lin Sanfa's divine soul!
As his legs were crushed!
A portion of Lin Sanfa's divine soul was also crushed into powder, dissipating as invisible Soul Power!
For a powerhouse at the Saint Lord realm, this was a grave injury!
After all, for powerhouses at this level, no matter how severe the bodily injuries, as long as the head was not directly chopped off, there was a chance of recovery!
If one cultivated certain Secret Techniques, they wouldn't die even if their head was chopped off!
But once the divine soul shattered, it was over! This would be a permanent injury, almost impossible to recover from!
"My divine soul, my divine soul! AAAHHH!!" Lin Sanfa sensed the shattering of his divine soul and nearly went mad, roaring as he circulated the True Qi in his body to repair his legs!
"AAHH! You little beast! How dare you, how dare you! I am a Mortal Walker of the Imperial Palace of Heaven! I will tear your body into ten thousand pieces and leave you without a burial place!!"
"The wail of an ant." Qin Heng sneered dismissively. "What is the Imperial Palace of Heaven? Even if the Heavenly Emperor himself were here, he would have to kneel before me! You trash had better just kill yourself quickly and avoid further disgrace!"
"Holy shit! That's way too arrogant!!"
"Even the Heavenly Emperor has to kneel before him? Does Qin Xuantian really know what a Heavenly Emperor is!?"
"Has he gone mad! Does he not fear divine retribution!?"
Everyone around was dumbstruck, shocked to their core. Qin Heng's words truly frightened them; it was just so damn exaggerated!
To disrespect the Imperial Palace of Heaven was one thing! But to even dare say that the Heavenly Emperor must kneel before him—who did he think he was?!
Remember, even Saints of Primordial Chaos formally bowed to the Heavenly Emperor when they met him.
Command the Heavenly Emperor to kneel!? Do you think you are Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor!?
It was too exaggerated! It really was too exaggerated!
"How dare you insult the Heavenly Emperor! You're courting death! Courting death! Courting death! You little beast, you really are seeking death!!"
Lin Sanfa shouted furiously, radiating killing intent. His legs had already been repaired, and the True Qi in his body burned like flames. With a fierce effort and a BOOM, he actually burst forth, freeing himself from Qin Heng's suppressing palm and standing up!
BOOM!!
The heavens and the earth thundered as if tens of millions of thunderbolts had exploded simultaneously!
The sky was torn open, the ground cracked apart. Lin Sanfa's body burst forth with a dazzlingly bright silver radiance, so blinding that even Semi-Saints couldn't bear to look directly at it!
"Qin Xuantian, you have no idea how terrifying and powerful the inheritance of the Imperial Palace of Heaven is!" As Lin Sanfa soared into the sky, his presence became as immense as the heavens, his power reaching an ultimate pinnacle, as if a Great Emperor himself had descended!
"In ancient times, Ancestral Master Haotian slew the Demon Emperor Eastern Emperor Taiyi, shattered the Chaotic Clock, obtained the Dao of Time, forged the Blade of Time, and from it, deduced the peerless Divine Skill, 'Heavenly Emperor's Step Through Time'! To die by this Divine Skill is your trifold fortune!"
As he spoke, a long, silvery river magically appeared beneath Lin Sanfa's feet. It flowed slowly, as if stretching from the past into the future, carrying away moments and embodying the profound Dao of Time!
This dazzled everyone, irresistibly drawing them into the profundity of time!
"Run! Run! Run!!" Lu Ziyi turned pale with fright at the sight of this phantom river of time. Her delicate frame trembled as she desperately shouted to Qin Heng, "Run! Run! Heavenly Emperor's Step Through Time is an invincible Divine Skill! A single strike from it can make a thousand years of lifespan vanish like flowing water! Run!!"
Just then, the divine light in Lin Sanfa's eyes flared. With a single gesture, the silvery water surged from the ethereal river into the air, condensing in his palm into a bright, shimmering, liquid light!
It gathered into a blade of light, locking onto Qin Heng!
Lin Sanfa's eyes widened with fury as he roared, "You little beast, die!!!"
SLASH!
The blade light slashed out! It was like the river of time surging forward! The Blade of Time blazed with brilliance! Heavenly Emperor's Step Through Time, dominating this world!
