The sudden figure that appeared did not fluster Lin Feng.
He had known for a long time.
That the old man who had been talking in his ear all along.
Was not a benevolent soul.
Naturally.
His attitude remained calm.
"Destruction?"
He shook his head.
Who was he trying to scare?
Although he was trapped in this cursed land, unable to log out and return to reality.
Through friend messages,
He knew that although the alien world had begun its invasion.
The situation was not dire.
At least.
Before the members of the War God Squad had even made a move.
The players of Blue Star could still contend with the current enemies, which indicated things were not too serious.
Seeing that Lin Feng seemed unconcerned.
The figure's expression stiffened.
And its form slowly revealed itself.
It was a peculiar man.
At first glance, he appeared to be middle-aged.
But his aura and the weariness in his eyes suggested he had experienced infinite time.
Far beyond what even an ordinary elderly person could possess.
His body seemed to be shrouded in a faint mist.
Even Lin Feng's Eye of Insight, which had been upgraded to the Heavenly Dao Divine Ability level.
Could not penetrate its details.
But Lin Feng remained unfazed.
Putting on such a mysterious act, who was he trying to intimidate?
Was he not just a clone of Hongjun?
In the past.
He might not have known how to face him, only despairing and awaiting death.
But now, with his strength, he had enough confidence to confront such a terrifying existence.
What kind of bosses had he not fought in the Pagoda of Creation?
Let alone a mere clone of Hongjun.
Even if the main body were here, he would still dare to spar with him!
As Lin Feng pondered.
The other party spoke again.
"Does my young friend not wish to leave this realm?"
Lin Feng curved his lips slightly.
"Old man Hongjun, spare me your act and your probing."
"If I kill you, won't I be able to leave?"
Hongjun, his identity revealed, was momentarily stunned.
He then burst into a sharp, resonant laugh.
"Since you already know, do you still dare to be insolent towards me?"
Instantly.
His aura surged explosively.
The very light of heaven and earth seemed to converge upon him.
Even.
A mere wisp of his scattered aura.
Was far stronger than any of the previous Sanqing clones.
He had expected to see a shocked expression on Lin Feng's face.
But to his surprise.
Lin Feng merely curled his lips.
"After all that, you're only at the Mythical level?"
Only Mythical level?
This statement almost made Hongjun cough up blood in anger.
"Even if I am merely a Mythical level clone, I am a Great Dao Sage. How can a junior like you presume to speak of me so lightly?"
A trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
"Let me show you what true Mythical level strength is!"
He narrowed his eyes.
Without even moving his body.
The ground began to shake violently.
Countless clods of earth and massive stones levitated, instantly coalescing into a giant hammer.
It hurtled towards Lin Feng with immense force.
Facing such a sudden attack.
Lin Feng seemed to have no time to react.
Directly.
He was struck by the hammer.
Hongjun's eyes lit up with delight.
A hint of smugness in his tone.
This Heavenly Dao Divine Ability, while not the strongest in power, possessed the effects of shock and disorientation.
With this single blow, he would make the arrogant and impudent Lin Feng behave himself!
BOOM!
As the spectral image of the hammer passed through Lin Feng.
Hongjun was about to make another move, intending to deal with the other party thoroughly.
But to his astonishment.
A flag flashed from behind Lin Feng's head.
The intended dizziness effect vanished into smoke.
Lin Feng's expression remained unchanged, completely unaffected.
Hongjun's face darkened considerably.
It had failed?
He couldn't comprehend it.
How could this outsider, trapped here for so long without access to the outside world to improve his strength, possess a means to nullify a Heavenly Dao Divine Ability?
Furthermore.
That flag from moments ago looked rather familiar.
If he was not mistaken, it was one of the Five Elemental Banners of Innate Origin.
His heart trembled.
This treasure was said to be lost, impossible to synthesize.
Why.
Did it appear in the hands of this outsider?
And wield such immense power?
He narrowed his eyes.
Shedding his dismissive attitude.
This outsider, it seemed, was not as weak as he had imagined, not someone to be toyed with.
As his mindset turned serious.
His subsequent attacks were no longer mere probing.
But full-fledged assaults.
His thoughts had subtly shifted.
Since this outsider had become a variable, and was trapped here.
Then.
He would simply be eliminated.
SWISH!
A giant axe instantly appeared in his hand, cleaving towards Lin Feng.
His gaze intensified.
This was due to his unwavering confidence.
This move was called the Heaven-Cleaving Slash!
Even among Great Dao Divine Abilities, it was renowned for its power.
With a single axe strike, the opponent would have no chance of survival.
BOOM!
The giant axe was raised and brought down.
With incredible speed.
Lin Feng, as he had anticipated, had no time to dodge.
He was directly struck.
A staggering damage value flashed, and Lin Feng fell.
Hongjun let out a cold snort.
A variable?
From this moment on, he was no longer one!
SWISH!
However, something astonishing occurred.
Not far from where Lin Feng had fallen, a white light flashed.
His figure reappeared.
What?
Hongjun could scarcely believe his eyes.
A resurrection divine ability?
How was this possible!
The Heaven-Cleaving Axe in his hand was a genuine primordial treasure for cleaving heaven.
Not only did it inflict immense damage and possess great power.
It also had an extremely potent special effect: Fatal Blow.
Its effect was to bypass resurrection abilities, ensuring the target's death upon being struck.
Yet, how could this outsider revive?
Hongjun's heart trembled once more.
Could it be.
That the opponent possessed a Great Dao Divine Ability with resurrection properties.
Or even a treasure exceeding the level of a primordial treasure?
Hongjun's eyes widened.
This outcome was something he had never anticipated.
However.
He quickly adjusted his approach.
If he couldn't instantly kill him.
Then he would take his time!
He put away the Heaven-Cleaving Axe.
And threw a punch directly.
Heavenly Dao Divine Fist!
This was also a divine ability focused on offense.
Though not as outrageously powerful as the Heaven-Cleaving Slash.
It remained a formidable offensive technique.
Moreover.
This divine ability carried properties that reduced the opponent's defense and restored their vitality.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
With each punch, the damage numbers that floated above Lin Feng were not substantial.
But this was entirely within Hongjun's expectations.
His assault did not cease, and he continued to throw punches.
With every punch thrown, the damage gradually increased.
In the blink of an eye.
He had unleashed over a hundred punches.
And their power had escalated to over a hundred times the initial amount.
It was now not far from the effectiveness of the Heaven-Cleaving Slash.
Just as he thought.
He could continue this slow attrition to successfully defeat Lin Feng.
Lin Feng moved.
His figure flickered, evading Hongjun's fist.
His expression was one of disappointment.
"I didn't expect you to only have this much strength. What a waste of my time!"
"Since you can't do anything to me, then die!"
Lin Feng's arrogant words caused Hongjun's expression to drastically change.
Just an outsider.
And yet.
He dared to mock him?
As he prepared to retrieve the Heaven-Cleaving Axe again.
He saw countless streaks of light.
No.
Upon closer inspection, he realized they were not light.
But densely packed sword qi.
It was simply that there were so many of them.
And when they merged, the overlapping flashes of light appeared as if emanating from a luminous source.
And in the next moment.
As these sword qi approached.
He felt an immense sense of threat.
An incredulous thought arose.
Could this sword qi inflict fatal damage upon him?
This notion struck him as preposterous.
As the controller of this cursed land.
His defense was not only influenced by basic attributes, making it exceptionally high.
But under the effect of the domain's characteristics, he was intrinsically linked to this region.
Ordinary attacks were incapable of harming him.
Unless.
His gaze narrowed.
Unless the opponent possessed a divine ability or treasure comparable to that of the Great Dao level.
Only then could he experience such a premonition of danger.
However.
Another thought flashed through his mind.
Bound by the rules of the Heavenly Dao, could outsiders not obtain at most only Innate Spiritual Treasures or Innate Supreme Treasures?
How could such items pose a threat to him?
As Hongjun pondered,
The sword qi unleashed by Lin Feng had enveloped him.
Several damage indicators simultaneously appeared.
Hongjun's body swayed violently.
And then he instantly regained his footing.
Just now.
He had profoundly felt the tangible damage inflicted by these sword qi.
And.
Their power far surpassed his imagination.
Looking at the four treasure swords hovering steadily in the air.
And the chilling aura rippling around them.
Hongjun's eyes were filled with terror.
This was actually the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation?
And.
At least an Innate Spiritual Treasure level Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!
His heart sank abruptly.
Hadn't Master Tongtian completely died?
His soul had even completely merged into the Sanqing clones, leaving no trace of self-awareness.
From where did this outsider obtain the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation?
Even.
Its power was greater than the original version.
Could it be.
That this variable truly possessed an extraordinary background?
He felt a sense of foreboding.
And at that moment.
Sword qi crisscrossed and intertwined.
Lin Feng's attack had arrived again!
