Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Blocked by Huang Tao and the others, the Crown Prince’s face was savage as he roared furiously at them, "This is none of your business! Get out of my way."

On the high platform, Tang Chenming looked at Huang Tao and the others, his expression darkening slightly. Long before the Green Talent List competition began, Tang Chenming had made thorough preparations and had even spoken to the masters of Huang Tao and the other disciples.

Since they were all Main Seat Elders of Celestial Eagle Valley, their masters naturally had no objections. They had also informed their respective disciples not to get involved in Lin Yun’s affairs.

However, Huang Tao and the others had now ignored their masters’ words, stepping forward at this critical moment to staunchly defend Lin Yun.

Tang Chenming’s expression was grim, but he couldn’t very well step forward and say anything at this moment. After all, his own motives could not see the light of day.

"Enough. This ends here," Huang Tao said coldly to the Crown Prince. Although Lin Yun was gravely injured, and it was uncertain if he could even be saved, Huang Tao would not allow the Crown Prince to attack him now.

Faced with several Direct Disciples from Celestial Eagle Valley, the Crown Prince’s expression flickered uncertainly. He couldn’t possibly face so many Direct Disciples head-on; that would be suicide. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

At the same time, Ziyi and Chen Ming pragmatically distanced themselves from the Crown Prince. Picking a fight with Direct Disciples of Celestial Eagle Valley was extremely unwise, and they weren’t that stupid.

The situation became delicate. The Crown Prince stared coldly at Huang Tao, but Huang Tao and the others refused to yield an Inch Step, completely disregarding their masters’ words.

This was because Lin Yun’s earlier performance had earned their utmost admiration, stirring the deepest emotions in their hearts.

"This ends here," Huang Tao said calmly.

Just as the standoff reached a stalemate, Lin Yun, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly felt a tremendous change within his body.

’This is...’ Startled, a smile touched the corners of Lin Yun’s lips. ’I can’t believe this turned out to be a blessing in disguise.’

Lin Yun’s Flawless Flesh Body had been stuck at the First Layer Peak. Despite trying many methods, he had been unable to break through to the Second Layer. As a result, even when he later refined Demon Beast Essence Blood, it only served to strengthen his physical body.

But now, Lin Yun clearly felt his Flawless Flesh Body miraculously break through to the Second Layer, shattering the barrier of the First Layer with almost no resistance.

After he broke through to the Second Layer of the Flawless Flesh Body, a seven-colored light emanated from his entire body. The bones shattered by the Crown Prince began to heal at a rapid pace. As they mended, Lin Yun could clearly feel that his entire skeleton was now several times tougher than before.

Lin Yun’s transformation instantly caught the attention of Huang Tao’s group and the Crown Prince. Staring at Lin Yun, who was now emitting a seven-colored radiance, the Crown Prince looked as if his eyes were about to pop out of his head.

"How is this possible...?" Enveloped by the seven-colored light, Lin Yun’s body seemed to be lifted by an unseen force, floating in mid-air.

A dense life force radiated from within Lin Yun’s body. Everyone could clearly see that the wounds on the once grievously injured young man were now healing at a visible rate.

"This is impossible...!" the Crown Prince roared frantically. ’Lin Yun should have been dead! How could he possibly have come back to life? What kind of joke is this?’

Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at Lin Yun floating in the air. However, among all those present, the most shocked was none other than the expert from the Flawless Palace.

The very moment he saw the seven-colored light radiating from Lin Yun, this Flawless Palace expert shot to his feet, his eyes filled with immense excitement.

Sensing the man’s excitement, the experts from the other Five Great Forces grew pensive. There was only one thing that could make someone from the Flawless Palace so agitated: the Flawless Flesh Body.

"So he’s actually cultivated the Flawless Flesh Body," the expert from the Spiritual Light Pavilion remarked.

Looking at Lin Yun enveloped in the seven-colored light, Tang Chenming felt a sense of dread. ’This is bad. If Lin Yun really has the Flawless Flesh Body, combined with the talent and Combat Power he’s displayed today, then the Flawless Palace...’

Just as Tang Chenming had feared, the Flawless Palace expert was staring at Lin Yun in shock. As a member of the Flawless Palace, he naturally recognized this as the transformation that occurred when one’s Flawless Flesh Body broke through to the Second Layer.

Forcibly suppressing his excitement, the Flawless Palace expert turned to look at Tang Chenming. All hesitation vanished from his eyes as he spoke to him with firm resolve.

"I don’t care what grievances you have with this boy. The Flawless Palace is claiming him, and no one is to harm him."

The Flawless Palace expert spoke with unshakable conviction, his tone suggesting he would fight to the death against anyone who dared to touch Lin Yun.

Seeing the man’s determination, the other four experts on the high platform, aside from Tang Chenming, adopted expressions of indifference. After all, they had no grievances with Lin Yun and couldn’t care less whether he lived or died.

The only thing they cared about, if at all, was the talent Lin Yun had displayed. He was someone with the potential to become a Demon Fiend. Under the tutelage of the Flawless Palace, Lin Yun could very well become the sixth great Demon Fiend of the Eastern Domain. When that happened, the balance of power among the Six Great Forces of the Eastern Domain would shift once again.

"Is it solely because he has learned the Flawless Flesh Body?" Tang Chenming asked, his expression dark.

Hearing Tang Chenming’s question, the Flawless Palace expert replied decisively, "Say no more. The Flawless Palace will protect this boy, no matter the cost."

"Hmph. Let’s see if he can even last until the end of the Green Talent List," Tang Chenming sneered. He was not afraid of the man from the Flawless Palace; their status and strength were comparable.

On the high platform, the exchange between the Flawless Palace expert and Tang Chenming ended on a sour note. Meanwhile, Lin Yun’s Flawless Flesh Body had successfully broken through to the Second Layer.

Thanks to his Flawless Flesh Body’s breakthrough, all of Lin Yun’s injuries had vanished. Aside from his blood-soaked clothes, there was no sign that he had ever been injured.

The seven-colored light slowly faded, and Lin Yun opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed from them. He now felt much stronger than he had even before his injuries.

The first thing Lin Yun did was fix his gaze on the Crown Prince. A chill ran down the Crown Prince’s spine as their eyes met, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

When the crowd witnessed this, their disdain for the Crown Prince grew even stronger. ’Scared off by a single glance? Is this really a top genius of the Southeast Domain?’

"Now, I’ll let you have a taste of a fate worse than death," Lin Yun said lightly to the Crown Prince. As his words fell, he gently clenched his right hand, and the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, still clutched by the Crown Prince, began to vibrate violently.

Unable to resist the struggles of the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, the Crown Prince was forced to release his grip, and the spear flew back into Lin Yun’s hand.

Perhaps out of joy for its master, once the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear returned to Lin Yun’s hand, a faint dragon’s cry echoed from it, as if cheering for his recovery.

Grasping the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun smiled slightly. ’I never thought this would turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I don’t know the exact reason, but I’m sure it’s related to the Crown Prince shattering every bone in my body.’

"Thank you," Lin Yun said, glancing at Huang Tao and the others. Then, his gaze fell upon the Crown Prince once more.
