Boom—
As Lin San focused his gaze on the distant horizon, an earth-shattering sound erupted in an instant.
The ground around him trembled violently, creating deep cracks and fissures.
A blinding golden light flashed, and a massive figure appeared in the distance.
"The God Emperor has awakened!" some of the Martial God Kings exclaimed excitedly upon seeing this.
"Heavenly God King! You traitors are about to face the punishment of the Heavenly God Emperor!" the white-haired Martial God King shouted, pointing accusingly at the Heavenly God King.
At this moment, the faces of the Heavenly God King and his companions turned grim.
They hadn't expected the Heavenly God Emperor to awaken at this moment.
If only he had remained dormant for a while longer, there would have been more time for Lin San to grow stronger.
Now that the Heavenly God Emperor was awake, he would certainly target Lin San!
It was likely that with the Heavenly God Emperor's immense power, he had already learned what had happened earlier.
"I never thought he actually survived," muttered a towering figure, appearing as a giant phantom in the sky, locking eyes with the Heavenly God King and his group.
The Heavenly God King and the other God Kings shuddered, feeling a tremendous oppressive force bearing down on them.
The pressure was so overwhelming that their bodies instinctively trembled.
"Heavenly God Emperor, don't think that the truth of what happened back then can be hidden forever," the Heavenly God King gritted his teeth as he stared up at the enormous figure in the sky.
Despite their trembling bodies, the other God Kings maintained their steely gazes on the Heavenly God Emperor.
"Heh."
"So what?" the Heavenly God Emperor responded coldly.
In that instant, an immense surge of power erupted from his body!
Boom—
The overwhelming force crashed into the Heavenly God King and his group, slamming them into the ground.
The impact created a bottomless pit where they had been standing.
The other God Kings watching from a distance trembled in fear.
Such incredible power!
In just a moment, these God Kings had been crushed into the ground.
It was unclear if they had survived the attack.
However, those who weren't aligned with the Heavenly God King breathed a sigh of relief.
They hadn't stood on the same side as the Heavenly God King and his group.
"God Emperor, that boy over there—he's the so-called heir of Donghuang!" the white-haired Martial God King said, pointing at Lin San.
At this moment, the giant phantom in the sky shifted its gaze toward Lin San.
"Donghuang…"
"Don't mention that name again!!!" the Heavenly God Emperor roared angrily.
A surge of powerful energy instantly shot toward Lin San.
Boom—
The attack streaked through the air, aiming directly at Lin San.
But Lin San, who was still hovering in the air, didn't move.
He stood still, completely unshaken.
A closer look revealed that a layer of energy was protecting his body, shielding him from the Heavenly God Emperor's terrifying attack.
The powerful energy had no effect on Lin San.
"If I've accepted your inheritance, then I will avenge you," Lin San murmured as he gazed at the Heavenly God Emperor's figure in the sky, gripping the Ye Fan Sword tightly.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
With a single thought, immense energy surged through Lin San's body and into the Ye Fan Sword.
The sword trembled slightly in response.
Lin San raised the Ye Fan Sword.
Unleashing a surge of powerful sword energy, he prepared for the strike.
Slash!
In the next moment, Lin San swung the sword downward in a powerful slash!
Countless waves of sword energy erupted from the blade, surging through the air with immense force!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
With the Ye Fan Sword now fully restored as the Legendary Demonic Sword, the sword energy it unleashed had become even more terrifying!
As the sword energy shot out, it tore open massive rifts in the surrounding space!
"What is this…" the Martial God Kings hovering nearby were shocked, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The sword energy had ripped through the very fabric of space, leaving behind terrifying, gaping cracks.
What kind of strength would it take to do such a thing?
"Heh."
The Heavenly God Emperor, watching this unfold, sneered.
At that moment, he extended his enormous right hand.
A surge of golden energy began to coalesce in his palm.
Boom, boom, boom—
The terrifying sword energy hurtling toward the Heavenly God Emperor was immediately blocked by the golden energy.
The attack had no effect on him!
Furthermore, the Heavenly God Emperor's form was beginning to solidify, becoming more and more real right before their eyes!
"He's materializing his true body," Ye Fan remarked with a cold smile as he watched.
The Heavenly God Emperor.
He was one of the most powerful beings in the Martial God Realm, second only to the Demon God Emperor.
If Lin San could slay him, it was highly likely that he would ascend to become a God Emperor himself.
Not to mention the vast amount of blood essence and energy he would absorb, earning a massive number of evolution and energy points!
But right now, Lin San was still only at the peak of the God King level—could he really win?
Ye Fan couldn't help but wonder.
As the Heavenly God Emperor's true form materialized, his massive body shrank down to normal human size.
He extended his left hand, and in an instant, a golden sword, blazing with golden flames, appeared in his grasp.
"Golden Blaze!"
"That's the ancient super divine artifact, Golden Blaze!" a Martial God King exclaimed excitedly as he recognized the sword in the Heavenly God Emperor's hand.
With the appearance of the sword, the entire sky seemed to grow unbearably hot.
Even the surrounding clouds were tinged with gold!
It was an eerie and awe-inspiring sight.
[Blood Flame Crescent Slash]!
Lin San frowned and activated the Ye Fan Sword's skill with a thought.
As he swung the Ye Fan Sword, a massive blood-red flame in the shape of a crescent shot forward!
"Child's play."
The Heavenly God Emperor scoffed.
He swung the Golden Blaze, releasing a golden flame in return.
The golden flame formed a crescent shape and shot toward the blood-red flame.
When the two flames collided, an earth-shattering explosion erupted.
Boom—
The impact from the explosion was so great that the nearby mountain peaks were flattened in an instant.
The surrounding Martial God Kings, despite using all their strength to hold their ground, still felt their blood surge from the shockwave.
Pfft—
Blood sprayed from their mouths as they struggled to withstand the force.
