"This... This is Lin Wudao?!!"
Lin Wudao rose into the air, and upon Qilin Mountain, the four seasons actually began to shift and change, torrential rain, hail, mountain floods...
It was truly just as he had said. At this moment, the fully-equipped Lin Wudao became the center of it all, sending ripples of power pulsating out in every direction!
"How is this possible?!! How, in all the lands under heaven, could someone possibly control so many Rules? Control so many Domains?!!"
50 miles away, Prince Feiheng's face was deathly pale.
The guards surrounding him had already begun to escort him and Prince Xingyu away in retreat.
Even though they were so far away, these guards still feared that Tian Xing's Domain would harm the two noble princes. Yet even they could not conceal the utter horror in their own expressions.
"This... Is this even human?!!"
Prince Xingyu could not stop his body from trembling, the scene of Tian Xing unleashing his full power shocking him until his eyes were as wide as bronze bells.
A Divinity Transformation cultivator might live for ten thousand years, and mastering even two or three Rules is already no easy feat.
But... the rings around Tian Xing, each representing a different Rule, numbered in the hundreds! Even if some of the Rules were incomplete, the sheer, vast quantity of them was still overwhelming.
When a Nascent Soul breaks through to Divinity Transformation, their Domain of Rules typically extends no more than a hundred meters.
But Tian Xing's Domain not only encompassed all types of Rules, it expanded to ten thousand meters in a single instant, and was still expanding continuously, like the ripples from a heavy stone dropped into a spring!
It was as if he was too powerful, for a lightning tribulation actually began to descend from the sky.
Beneath the flashing lightning, Lin Wudao, his robes whipping about him, was like a god descending from the heavens!
He truly hadn't been making a wild boast.
Below the Void Refining realm...
"Invincible."
At this moment, these two words arose in the hearts of everyone watching in Eternal Sun Prefecture.
Even the observers from the Imperial Capital were terrified in heart and soul.
Some of the more powerful existences even revealed grim expressions and began rushing hurriedly towards the Eternal Sun Prefecture.
"Impossible! How can a Divinity Transformation expert possibly be this powerful?!!"
Prince Feiheng was endlessly horrified.
He finally understood why everyone under heaven wanted to obtain Tian Xing's allegiance, and why so many others wanted him dead.
He also understood why... so many people insisted on using another's hand to take Tian Xing's life.
They were afraid that Tian Xing would escape; they were afraid of forming an irredeemable karmic bond for the future!
"Something's wrong..."
Heaven only knows what a mental journey Prince Feiheng went through in that short time, faced with Tian Xing's heaven-defying potential. He was endlessly panicked.
"The Imperial Preceptor said that Tian Xing split his body into thousands in order to accumulate the spiritual power needed to break through to the Void Refining realm.
No, that's not it! With this level of ability, he should have already reached the Void Refining realm long ago!"
"He has been hiding his true strength this entire time. His potential is a hundred, a thousand times greater than what the Imperial Preceptor has grasped.
So it turns out, from the moment he came under the Imperial Preceptor's command, he had already planned his escape!"
As Prince Feiheng cried out in alarm.
The guard floating beside him for protection turned ashen-faced, his lips pale as he stammered, "My... My lord... y-you... look!"
"What is it?"
The two brothers, Prince Feiheng and Prince Xingyu, hurriedly rose higher into the air, their gazes sweeping over the land below.
In the distance, Qilin Mountain was still emanating that same world-shaking, terrifying aura.
But outside of Qilin Mountain, upon the earth veins of the entire Eternal Sun Prefecture, pitch-black spiritual formations had suddenly appeared, one after another.
The color of these formations deepened from light to dark, and they were continuously rotating, expanding, and spreading out in all directions.
"My... My lord!"
The guard gritted his teeth. "He... he buried the spiritual formation underground... this has been premeditated for a long time! My lord... I will go at once..."
He had already started to move, only to see Prince Feiheng dejectedly shake his head.
His composure was completely lost, and he nearly fell from the sky. "It's too late."
A golden light shone in Prince Feiheng's eyes as he used his Spirit Eye.
He witnessed with his own sight that the life essence of all living things within the spiritual formation was being slowly absorbed.
That essence transformed into threads of energy, which were drawn into the formation before coalescing into an enormous, pitch-black pillar of light that soared into the sky, landing upon Qilin Mountain in the shape of a fox!
This process might take ten years, or perhaps a hundred. Once the formation was complete, their life essence would be continuously absorbed by it, without end.
Every region, every town, every prefecture!
From the very first pillar of light that converged on Qilin Mountain, until there were ten, then a hundred... then ten thousand!
"We were all deceived by him. There is no one left who can stop him.
He is breaking through to the Void Refining realm, absorbing the life essence of all the common people under heaven in this manner.
With this, he can go anywhere he pleases in this vast world."
