"Go."
Lin Xiang gave a simple command. The order of death. No lower subject would be able to resist this impossible order.
Blinding rays glittered from the fire-ice radiance snake. The creature's giant body rushed forward with unparalleled killing intent. All in its way would be shredded to ashes. All Heavenly Ruler elders would tremble under its terrifying, oppressive might.
The power of the fire-ice radiance snake had hiddenly transcended. A mere vibration from the fire-ice radiance snake heavily distorted space. Its Profound Laws were equal to a higher dimension of power!
'Did he really?!?' The four grand elders were in horror. Their Divine Senses had just faintly detected that harrowing level of power.
Many would simply give up in an impossible situation.
But naturally, the four grand Elders were unwilling to die like this!
Each of them blazed with surging, killing intent. Blood essence blew from their mouths. They even went so far as to overdraw on their life sources.
Luminous shine of their Law radiance sizzled right out of their eyes. The power of their Profound Laws exerted to its maximum limit. Their presence transformed into something harrowing.
"Sacred Destruction!"
"Dragon Breaking!"
"Azure Annihilation!"
"Drowning of Moons!"
Radiances of Profound Laws crazily streaked out of the elders' bodies. Phantoms of their cultivation arts manifested into reality.
The whole dreary forest was filled to the brim with blinding rays of Law radiance. Any weak cultivator looking would instantly become blinded.
Their combined oppressive might could send chills down half-step Heavenly King and full-fledge Heavenly King spines!
Even Xie Ya had to acknowledge this level of power. Their sect may be lower than hers, but none of them were slouches.
In that moment, the elders' Law radiances arts climbed to its peak. An all-breaking might, enough to destroy cities thousands of miles wide, rushed to meet the fire-ice radiance snake in a head-on clash!
'Bang!!'
Ear-shattering explosions sounded out. Lights of radiance streaked and violent shockwaves tore the land. But from the chaotic collision, it wasn't a mixed of Law radiances. Fire-ice radiance had still overwhelmed the world!
How could the mere attacks of peak Heavenly Ruler expect to match the force comparable to a Heavenly King?
The fire-ice radiance snake destroyed the elder's ultimate attacks into waves of violent shockwaves!
The ground fissured for several miles. Trees miles away were also crushed to bits and pieces. A hellish scene permeated the entire area.
"Ahh!!"
In the midst of the hell, the powerful shockwaves smashed apart the elder's protective Heavenly energy and ruthlessly crushed down on their bodies.
None of them could defend against the storm of Heavenly King's power. Blood was crazily splattered out, flesh, organs, bones and torn limbs littered the ground.
Some body parts were even ruthlessly destroyed into minced meat by the resulting shockwaves.
At this time, Lin Xiang and Xie Ya stayed safely protected within a barrier Lin Xiang made.
Seconds later, the crazy energy shockwaves subsided. What was left was a nightmare straight out of a demon crazed killing.
Xie Ya was even a bit moved by the blood-filled ground.
None of the elders had whole bodies anymore. Pieces of their destroyed corpses were laid out all over.
Out of the four elders, only one stayed struggling directly on the verge of death. The Sacred Emperor Mansion, with one eye missing and a bloodied stump where his left arm should be, laid motionless and filled with horror at Lin Xiang.
His lips violently quivered. 'Why...why didn't my signal work? Could he...could he have a domain...'
With that last thought, the elder's body jerked. The light had left his eyes. His face stayed forever filled with ever-lasting horror.
Xie Ya quietly whistles at the horrific scene. She has already seen her fair share of gore and unending blood.
With an indifferent tone, she said, "And that takes care of that. But hey, did your attack destroy their spatial rings? They should have valuable items on them."
"Mn. Let's see." Lin Xiang casually clenched his palm, unleashing an irresistible suction force.
The suction force targeted the broken corpses littering the ground. Sweeps of blood splashed in the air as several spatial rings flew out of the corpses' bodies.
Landing on Lin Xiang's palm was spatial rings tainted with blood and flesh. A horrid smell and a graphic sight.
But neither Lin Xiang nor Xie Ya even batted an eye. Streaks of fire radiance incinerated the gore of the spatial rings and Lin Xiang soon revealed a flash of disappointment.
All that would be good stuff couldn't quite be preserved. He lightly sighed, saying, "Unfortunately, nearly everyone one of these spatial rings had their minor dimension destroyed. The only survivor is the one from the Sacred Emperor Mansion. This was a minor dimension fortified by a Heavenly King expert."
"Oh? So this was a pretty important one?" Xie Ya nudged her head toward the fallen corpse. "If so, he probably tried to get hold of someone before getting splattered into pieces."
"Indeed he did. I sensed it, but whatever he had signaled out couldn't get past my domain. And now, what's left of him is in our hands. For a peak Heavenly Ruler, he should've been treated very fairly."
Putting the spatial ring away, Lin Xiang snapped his gaze over the lone black tomb.
No battle scars or cracks covered the black tomb. As if that chaotic battle between peak prowess was nothing but a light trickle.
After Lin Xiang flicked out fireball radiances that incinerated the splattered corpses to ashes, he and Xie Ya slowly walked up.
Every ounce of their Divine Sense focused on the black tomb. For Xie Ya, an expert on the verge of reaching the Heavenly Ruler realm and with plenty of experience under her belt, she was a bit mystified.
Mysterious sensations overlapped in her Spiritual Sea. When peering through a fog, her senses simply came across another fog.
There wasn't anything straightforward about this black tomb. Its mystical sensations of Profound Laws transcended mortal means. What lies behind was what felt like another source.
A source containing its own rules, laws, energy, and power. This really felt like a doorway to another dimension!
Xie Ya's eyes brighten. She honestly praised, "You know, even back in my sect, those separate training realms never felt so profound. Like, I could confidently identify a training realm created by a peak Heavenly King or Divine Lord ancestor. Their Profound Law sources aren't stable at all. But this...consider my horizon greatly broadened."
Even Lin Xiang lightly nodded with some praise. "To be able to fuel an inheritance ground for tens of thousands of years, the founding ancestor is bound to have deep attainments with Profound Laws. Come, let's see what awaits us."
Standing in front of the black tomb, Lin Xiang and Xie Ya slowly reached forward. Their guards were slightly raised. Recalling from the text, all a genius needs to do is touch the black tomb to be transported in.
This was for participants who gained the blessing of their Great Elders and ancestors.
While Lin Xiang and Xie Ya barged right in and mercilessly killed the ones guarding them.
The possibility of a second defensive measure is low. But one can never be too careful. Lin Xiang especially knows the danger of not being overly cautious to a paranoid degree at times.
At any time, the duo would be ready to counter any sudden attack.
Gently, their hands lightly touch the black tomb. In an instant, a couple of strange things occurred.
The duo didn't simply touch the black tomb. Their hands slightly sank in it, like dipping their hands into a lake!
Highly mystical sensations swarm their Spiritual Seas as well. They inched very close to experiencing the separate dimension.
But above everything, neither Lin Xiang nor Xie Ya sensed any hidden danger lurking in the shadows. Everything seemed to be completely natural.
Yet, the duo didn't let up their guard. Their speeds didn't change as well.
Inching deeper and deeper into the black tomb, Lin Xiang and Xie Ya simultaneously focus on studying the dimension's mystical sensations and hidden traps.
Seconds passed and the duo's bodies were halfway into the black tomb.
At this point, slightly beyond their expectations, a great suction force wildly released from the separate dimension!
It pulled at an overwhelming force to suck in massive mountain ranges.
"Hm?" Lin Xiang and Xie Ya were slightly startled at first but kept their calm.
Since it was impossible to avoid getting sucked, the duo allowed their bodies to travel with the storm than against it. Their bodies swiftly disappear into the black tomb.
