Chapter 564 Identity Exposed
“Hurry up!” Lei Feifei gritted her teeth and urged Yun Lintian.
The lightning barrier in front of everyone started to crack under the immense pressure from Scarlet Soul Emperor’s attack. It could break at any moment.
Zhou Qingyu and Qin Wuji tried their best to launch attacks on Scarlet Soul Emperor, but none of them could manage to strike him. This made them helpless and could only help Lei Feifei and Lei Jin strengthen the barrier.
Yun Lintian’s complexion became solemn, and he took a bag out and stuffed a handful of best-grade Profound Stones in it before handing the bag to Linlin. “Big brother has to trouble you.”
“Leave it to me.” Linlin nodded her head and took the bag away, rushing toward the bottom left corner.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian executed Shadow Step to arrive at the final formation node.
Scarlet Soul Emperor’s pupils constricted as he stared at Linlin. In the next moment, he burst into wild laughter. “Hahaha! I see! I keep getting this familiar feeling coming out of you two. I understand everything now!”
Lei Feifei followed Scarlet Soul Emperor’s gaze and saw Linlin was busy placing Profound Stones on the formation node. Her heart sank immediately. This Scarlet Soul Emperor must have discovered Linlin’s identity!
However, before she could do anything further, the whole space suddenly trembled. Everything in this place was instantly painted into scarlet color, accompanied by deadly profound lights to mercilessly attack the lightning barrier in all directions.
Crackle! Bang!
Instantaneously, the lightning barrier was shattered. The immense pressure quickly invaded everyone’s body and soul, causing them to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood and become paralyzed on the spot.
Yun Lintian’s movement became sluggish as he tried his best to place the last piece of Profound Stone on the formation node.
“Hurry up and call The Thunder!” Hongyue urged anxiously. She didn’t expect Scarlet Soul Emperor to have this strength left after being sealed for a long time. At this rate, Yun Lintian and the rest would definitely die here.
For the first time in their life, Lei Feifei, Zhou Qingyu, and Qin Wuji experienced what true power was. They couldn’t put any resistance against Scarlet Soul Emperor for more than five seconds and fell unconscious directly.
The strongest person among this group, Lei Jin, managed to hold on to the last bit of his consciousness and used all of his power to activate Thunder Soul.
Following by rumbling thunder roarings, Lei Jin’s entire body was enveloped with countless golden lightning sparks, turning him into a god of thunder. As he rushed toward Scarlet Soul Emperor, the golden staff appeared in his hand, and he swung it down at the latter with all his might.
“Die!” Lei Jin shouted loudly. The golden lightning sparks around him transformed into a golden torrent of lightning, striking down on his opponent.
“Hmph!” Scarlet Soul Emperor was surprised to see Lei Jin manage to make a move. He blamed this damn seal for restraining his power. Otherwise, how could these ants continue to waste his time like this?
His eyes shone with scarlet light as he pointed his finger at the incoming frenzied torrent of lightning. The dreadful profound light quickly shot out of the tip of his finger and instantly cut through the lightning torrent and hit Lei Jin’s staff.
Boom!
The golden staff in Lei Jin’s hand immediately shattered into pieces as Lei Jin flew away and heavily hit the wall, falling unconscious directly. The peak Monarch was handled by Scarlet Soul Emperor effortlessly.
After taking care of Lei Jin, Scarlet Soul Emperor turned to Yun Lintian with a grin. “It’s your turn now… Beyond Heaven King’s successor.”
Yun Lintian’s pupils shrank in shock upon hearing this… How did he know?
“You must be curious how I knew about it, right?” Scarlet Soul Emperor saw through Yun Lintian’s thoughts. He chuckled and glanced at Linlin. “If I’m not mistaken, this should be Bai Xiaoyun’s daughter. It is impossible for her to leave her daughter to an unknown person… Xia Nongyue, oh, Xia Nongyue. You probably wouldn’t have thought that because of you, I can meet Beyond Heaven King’s successor here… Hehe… Hahaha!”
“What are you waiting for, you idiot!?” Hongyue roared crazily.
Her voice quickly brought Yun Lintian back to his sense. His mind moved, and The Thunder within his body immediately responded. 𝚋ｅｄ𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅ𝚕．𝚗ｅｔ
Rumble—
The whole space shook violently, and countless golden lightning bolts flashed all over the place. At the same time, Linlin’s body went under massive transformation and returned to her true form.
“Roar!” Linlin let out a thunderous roar, and the surrounding golden lightning ruthlessly bombarded Scarlet Soul Emperor in all directions.
“Hmph!” Scarlet Soul Emperor snorted coldly and clapped his hands together. His entire body was instantly shrouded in scarlet mist, and he vanished from the altar, perfectly avoiding Linlin’s attack.
However, the moment he reappeared again a few meters away from the altar. He suddenly saw a virtual lightning dragon open its huge mouth wide, appearing in front of him along with Yun Lintian’s figure.
Roar!
The virtual lightning dragon managed to take a bite on Scarlet Soul Emperor’s shoulder, causing him to scream aloud before he retreated away, avoiding Yun Lintian’s following attack.
“This… The True Dragon Fist!?” Scarlet Soul Emperor’s illusory figure reappeared behind the altar and looked at Yun Lintian with a hint of shock deep in his eyes.
Linlin didn’t let Scarlet Soul Emperor catch his breath. Her huge body flashed and reappeared beside the latter with a thunder claw striking down.
Scarlet Soul Emperor reacted timely as he created a layer of scarlet barrier to block Linlin’s attack.
In that instant, Yun Lintian had already arrived behind Scarlet Soul Emperor with Shadow Step. His eyes shone with golden lightning sparks as he sent out another thunder dragon fist.
“How dare you!?” Scarlet Soul Emperor roared furiously. A scarlet-colored mist instantly burst out of his body, sending Yun Lintian and Linlin flying to the corner.
Bang!
Yun Lintian landed heavily on the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood. He struggled to get up and stared at Scarlet Soul Emperor with a solemn expression… Scarlet Soul Emperor could obviously display only one-tenth of his true strength, yet Yun Lintian couldn’t fight him at all, even with the help of The Thunder. Was this the gap between mortal and Divine beings?
