Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Lin Yun had grasped the True Intent of the first flash of the Wind Thunder Triple Flash in just one week. The Imprisoned Dragon Young Master already saw him as a monster, so naturally, he no longer tried to stop Lin Yun.

A silent night passed. The next morning, the entire Mysterious City was in an uproar. Many Qi Sea Realm Martial Artists had even shown up, gathering once again in the central plaza of Mysterious City.

By now, the plaza was packed with Martial Artists from Mysterious City. They were all eager to see what trump card Young Master Yun had up his sleeve, giving him the confidence to challenge a First Layer of Qi Sea Realm Martial Artist while only at the Fourth Layer of Opening Realm.

The Blood Refining Ancestor and the Blood Refining Young Master arrived.

Iron Blood and the Iron Blood Young Master came as well.

Ye Yunlong also arrived.

"Look, it’s Young Master Yun! Young Master Yun and the Imprisoned Dragon Young Master are here!" As the important figures arrived one after another, a great cheer erupted from the crowd when Lin Yun finally appeared. Without a doubt, he was the star of the day.

Lin Yun slowly walked onto the fighting stage. The Qi Sea Realm Martial Artist from the Wind Forest Sect was already there. He was nearly thirty this year and considered a bottom-tier member of the Wind Forest Sect, but today, he was in high spirits.

’If I can just get Lin Yun’s inheritance, the Sect will surely reward me handsomely. Then I could even become an Elder in the Wind Forest Sect. What a sweet deal that would be.’

"Lin Yun, today I will make you understand the gap between the Qi Sea Realm and the Opening Realm," the man said coldly, looking at Lin Yun.

Hearing this, Lin Yun remained very calm. ’This man is thirty years old and only at the First Layer of Qi Sea Realm. His talent is clearly average. If he hadn’t broken through to the Qi Sea Realm, I wouldn’t have even given him a second glance.’

"A thirty-year-old at the First Layer of Qi Sea Realm... You don’t have what it takes to obtain my inheritance," Lin Yun said softly. Then, his gaze shifted to Iron Blood in the stands.

"Iron Blood Gang Leader, if I win today’s battle, will all the treasures belong to me?" Lin Yun asked.

Hearing this, Iron Blood waved his large hand, and the treasures all appeared on a nearby table. "The treasures are here, Lin Yun. As long as you can win today, they are naturally yours. But if you lose, you must also hand over your inheritance as promised."

"A deal is a deal," Lin Yun replied decisively. As he spoke, the Overlord Spear appeared in his hand. The battle was about to begin.

Lin Yun was ready, but the Wind Forest Sect disciple looked down on him, not even drawing a weapon. It seemed he intended to fight Lin Yun with his bare hands.

One couldn’t blame him for being too arrogant. After all, in the entire history of the Eastern Domain, there were only five recorded cases of someone in the Opening Realm defeating an opponent in the Qi Sea Realm. Those five were the Five Great Demon Fiends.

Other than those exceptions, the Qi Sea Realm held absolute crushing power over the Opening Realm. This man didn’t believe Lin Yun was a Demon Level figure. Across the entire Eastern Domain, with its tens of millions of Martial Artists, there were only five such Demon Fiends.

"Heh, not using a weapon?" Lin Yun sneered, seeing through the man’s intentions.

"I don’t need a weapon for you," the man shouted, then thrust a palm at Lin Yun.

Releasing Elemental Power externally was something even those in the Opening Realm could do. However, upon reaching the Qi Sea Realm, the external Elemental Power underwent a qualitative change—it could be solidified.

The Elemental Power released by a Qi Sea Realm expert could solidify into tangible fists and feet, its destructive power several times greater than that of the Opening Realm.

"Sigh... there’s just no contest between the Opening Realm and the Qi Sea Realm. Look, a simple palm strike from him is already no weaker than one of Young Master Yun’s Martial Skills," a Qi Sea Realm expert from Mysterious City commented from below the stage, watching the Wind Forest Sect disciple’s attack.

The gap of a Great Realm... each Great Realm was a world apart from the next. That was why those who could cross a Great Realm to kill their enemies were all Demon Fiend-level prodigies, worshiped by countless Martial Artists.

Facing this casual palm strike, Lin Yun naturally wasn’t foolish enough to meet it head-on. Executing Inch Step, he easily dodged the man’s attack.

Possessing two Earth Level Upper Tier Body Technique Martial Skills—Inch Step and Wandering Wind Step—Lin Yun’s speed was extremely fast. If they were competing on speed alone, even a Qi Sea Realm expert would be no match for him. After all, it was nearly impossible for a Qi Sea Realm expert to possess an Earth Level Upper Tier Body Technique.

’Damn it, that’s my Martial Skill!’ Every time they saw Lin Yun use one of their Body Technique Martial Skills, the Monk and Daoist hiding in the shadows were so angry they could have coughed up blood.

"Do you think you can fight a Qi Sea Realm Martial Artist just because you have a Body Technique Martial Skill?" Seeing Lin Yun easily dodge his attack, the man roared furiously and charged toward him.

Solidified streams of Elemental Power shot toward Lin Yun relentlessly, but he exquisitely dodged them every time. The attacks that slammed into the fighting stage left it in ruins, with countless cracks appearing on its surface.

The attacks of a Qi Sea Realm expert were terrifying; Lin Yun had never denied that. One only needed to look at how the hard bluestone was cracked after just a few strikes to understand their power.

"Kid, is running all you know how to do?" After failing to land a single hit in over a dozen attacks, the man roared in anger from behind him. Lin Yun’s Body Technique Martial Skill was so superb that the man couldn’t catch him at all.

"You’re in the Qi Sea Realm, yet you can’t even touch a Fourth Layer of Opening Realm Martial Artist like me. Aren’t you ashamed? I see your Wind Forest Sect is really just a garbage dump," Lin Yun mocked.

Hearing this, the man flew into a rage. A Qi Sea Realm expert fighting an Opening Realm opponent... it was bad enough that he couldn’t finish him in one hit, but he couldn’t even touch a single hair on his head.

"Fine! I’ll let you witness the might of my Wind Forest Sect! Gale Palm!" In his fury, the man directly unleashed a Wind Forest Sect Martial Skill.

Instantly, he sent out several palm strikes, and a fierce gale swept across the entire stage. The gale quickly transformed into numerous Wind Blades, each one carrying extreme destructive power, easily leaving marks upon the stage.

"Hmph. It will be his honor to be defeated by the Gale Palm." In the stands, the people from the Wind Forest Sect sneered at Lin Yun. They didn’t believe he could withstand the Gale Palm when used by a Qi Sea Realm expert.

At the center of the storm, several cuts had already been torn into Lin Yun’s clothes, but his expression remained completely unchanged.

’Looks like I’ll have to take this one head-on,’ Lin Yun murmured to himself. With no way to evade, he decided to endure the attack directly.

Pushing the War God Technique and Demon Emperor Technique to their limits, a faint golden light appeared on Lin Yun’s body. At the same time, a surge of Battle Intent erupted from him.

Feeling this Battle Intent, the surrounding Qi Sea Realm and Opening Realm Martial Artists in the audience didn’t know what it was. They only felt that in this moment, Lin Yun seemed incredibly imposing, giving them an impulse to kneel and worship him.

In contrast to their ignorance, Ye Yunlong and the two others in the stands were so shocked that they shot to their feet, stammering.

"Battle Intent... It’s actually Battle Intent! A Fourth Layer of Opening Realm Martial Artist actually possesses Battle Intent...!"

Battle Intent was a profound thing. Qi Sea Realm Martial Artists had no access to it, and even Primordial Ocean Realm experts knew very little about it. They only knew one thing: Battle Intent was not something you could obtain just by wanting it.

It depended on a person’s talent and disposition. In short, Martial Artists with Battle Intent were exceedingly rare. Among the Five Great Demon Fiends of the Eastern Domain, one of them possessed Battle Intent.

Because he possessed Battle Intent, that Demon Fiend’s fearsome reputation was well-known throughout the Eastern Domain. Even Martial Artists of the older generation didn’t dare act presumptuously in his presence. "When Battle Intent appears, one can battle heaven and earth." This saying was no joke.
