Amid the impact of lightning and flames, a crack seemed to appear on the halo around Lin Beichen.
But in just a moment, the halo of flames reformed as if no damage had ever occurred.
"What kind of monster are you?"
The Great Elder stood in place, stunned, and asked in a daze.
The attack he just released wasn’t only his own cultivation but also combined techniques comprehended from Mr. Lijiang, and a fragment of power inherited from Immortal Peak Mountain.
Even Mr. Lijiang wouldn’t dare to take this strike so lightly.
Yet Lin Beichen stood there, doing nothing.
What kind of technique was this? How could there be such a terrifying person in the world?
"Ah!"
The three elders turned into flames, and with a wave of Lin Beichen’s hand, they all turned to ashes.
Lin Beichen was already standing before the Great Elder.
The Great Elder stared coldly at Lin Beichen, his eyes filled with countless obsessions and defiance. However, he suddenly laughed at himself and crushed the jade pendant on his chest.
"I really have no affinity with immortal techniques."
A hint of relief flashed in the Great Elder’s eyes as the jade pendant shattered.
As the jade fragments fell to the ground, they transformed into countless glowing lights, surrounding the Great Elder.
This was a magical treasure condensed by Taoism.
When Immortal Peak Mountain was besieged and destroyed, he secretly took this item away.
Though the jade pendant was no larger than a palm, the energy it contained far exceeded his power tenfold!
This was the final hidden secret treasure of Immortal Peak Mountain.
Even when Mr. Lijiang wanted to study this object, he firmly refused.
As long as this item was shattered, it would release an extremely powerful spiritual light.
This spiritual light could protect him from death.
"A mere glimmer of spiritual light, do you think you can escape death?"
Lin Beichen said indifferently, as he gently waved the branch in his hand.
As the branch waved, the power of the Five Elements Qi and the Fire of the Five Elements that wrapped around it instantly dispersed.
To make the Great Elder understand the gap between them, Lin Beichen directly dispelled the two strands of Five Elements Qi and simply tore apart the final legacy of Immortal Peak Mountain using only the Wood of the Five Elements.
A leaf from the branch fell upon the Great Elder’s forehead.
All the Great Elder’s aura disappeared instantly, and he sighed softly, closing his eyes to await death.
After a hundred years of struggle, in the end, he was still entangled by obsessions. It was only at the moment of death that he fully understood that he was truly never meant for immortal techniques in this lifetime.
"Young friend, could you spare my disciple’s life?"
A gentle voice, as if coming from all directions, resounded from the distant heavens.
The doors of the Divine Hall of Concealment thunderously opened.
The entire hall, no, the entire Medicine Immortal Pavilion, trembled at these words.
All the living beings in the valley, even the vegetation, seemed to wail under the might of heaven and earth.
The last protector of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, Mr. Lijiang, had finally appeared.
"Lin Beichen, you are a distinguished master who has crossed the Death Gate. Why make things difficult for these mortals struggling in the world?"
Before the Divine Hall of Concealment, a clear figure suddenly appeared. He too walked in the void, but even more unpredictably.
With each step, numerous afterimages flashed in the air.
Hard to observe, impossible to predict.
This thought flashed through the minds of countless people.
Traversing a thousand meters took only a few breaths.
When the figure stopped, everyone finally saw his appearance clearly.
Wearing a green Daoist robe, his hair was entirely white, his eyes ancient yet full of vitality, an amalgamation of two extremes.
His eyes exuded endless age, but his face was as youthful as a newborn.
"Mr. Lijiang."
Everyone in the Medicine Immortal Pavilion knelt on the ground.
This was the greatest support behind the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, the legendary cultivation immortal, a master who had crossed the Death Gate.
The Medicine Immortal Pavilion had been peaceful for hundreds of years. Ever since Mr. Lijiang joined, no one dared to make a move against them.
Lin Beichen’s power of the Five Elements was overwhelming, unstoppable by anyone, regardless of their realm.
Even the Great Elder’s heaven-reaching means failed. Now, they could only rely on Mr. Lijiang.
On the giant tree, Wei Yiyuan and others were already shuddering with shock.
Could this youth standing in the void be the same companion they had laughed and chatted with along the way?
Wei Shuqi fiercely grabbed Wei Yiyuan’s arm, her hands trembling violently. If not for the suppression of the Five Elements Qi, she would have collapsed and fallen down the mountain.
Wei Yiyuan had been relatively kind to Lin Beichen, but Wei Shuqi had never shown Lin Beichen a good face throughout the journey.
Lin Beichen was decisive in killing, treating everyone the same, regardless of their status.
Those so-called high masters, dominant one moment, were reduced to ashes the next.
As a weak female, what outcome could she expect?
Lin Beichen paid no attention to Wei Shuqi.
"Only now you know to beg for mercy? When you coveted my treasures and tried to kill me to take them, why didn’t you say we should not make things difficult?"
Lin Beichen said indifferently.
Mr. Lijiang looked at Lin Beichen, fell silent, then slowly said:
"Dust to dust, earth to earth. Qi Tiankuang has already paid for his mistakes with his life. Why must you press on so relentlessly, unwilling to let go?"
The matter of Qi Tiankuang was difficult to explain, so he simply glossed over it.
Hearing this, a strong killing intent flashed in Lin Beichen’s eyes.
Relentlessly pressing on, unwilling to let go?
How ironic and cruel these words.
It was as if someone had slaughtered his entire family, and when he sought revenge, the once indifferent bystanders suddenly stood up to accuse him of having too much of a murderous heart, and advising he should not seek such retribution.
