Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 140: Rising Sun in the South

Extreme Eternal, year 300213, February 15th.

For Lin Tianheng, this was just another ordinary day.

After finishing his closed-door cultivation in the early morning, he took out his phone and posted a selfie on Deep Blue. He also replied to messages from various Saintesses from different sects for half an hour.

"Phones are really convenient! In the past, I had to go meet the girls in person to see what they looked like. Now, with a phone, I can just open a video and know what they look like," he thought.

However, phones also had their downsides. It was too easy to contact someone, which meant that people who he didn't usually contact would now call him out of the blue.

And he couldn't ignore them.

Yes, it was his father.

"Have you dealt with that Yang Ning yet?" Lin Tianheng's father furrowed his brows, looking distressed, as if he were a compassionate saint.

Yes, his real name was Lin Tianheng, not a nickname.

"He's hiding in Extreme Eternal Palace and won't come out. What can I do?" Lin Tianheng said irritably. "I even killed his parents!"

"Then you should have killed him earlier!" Lin Tianheng's father said sternly. "This young man has astonishing luck at such a young age. His cultivation speed is incredibly fast. No matter how many times you try to kill him, he won't die. Since you've already become enemies, you mustn't let him live no matter what!"

"I know," Lin Tianheng nodded with a sinister expression.

In this world, there were prodigies who rose at an incredible speed, obtained unimaginable opportunities, and created unbelievable miracles.

Even though the probability of encountering such prodigies was extremely low, the Lin family had encountered many over the past tens of thousands of years.

Yang Ning felt that Lin Tianheng was deliberately targeting him, and his feeling was not wrong.

At that time, he was just playing with Tuobu River, but from a distance, he saw someone on a flying boat with a deep blue robe, which made him change his plans temporarily. He wanted to use the wild beasts in Qin Mountain to kill Yang Ning.

He didn't want to take action himself, as he was afraid of the backlash from luck.

But he didn't expect Yang Ning to come out unscathed, without any injuries!

He also had Wang Yao and Wang Yi, the deans of Immortal Ascension Academy, hint at taking action during the trial. Who could have expected that this guy would create a turtle shell and protect himself so well? Not only did the trial fail to kill him, but it also helped him gain fame!

He even knew how to take advantage of the situation, completely depriving Lin Tianheng of any reason to attack him.

Lin Tianheng thought that since this plan didn't work, there were still many trials in Immortal Ascension Academy!

But he didn't expect that Yang Ning would only stay in Immortal Ascension Academy for a year, not only graduating but also becoming an official disciple!

The more outstanding he performed, the more it proved his extraordinary luck. Naturally, Lin Tianheng's killing intent grew stronger!

Until he discovered that Yang Ning and Yuan Xi appeared together in the inner sect mountains, Lin Tianheng couldn't bear it anymore and decided to take action himself!

But unexpectedly, this guy hid in Extreme Eternal Palace and refused to come out!

"I need to think of a way to force him out, but I've already killed his parents, friends, and relatives. What else can I do?" Lin Tianheng was also a little confused for a moment, but then he remembered one characteristic of prodigies.

Both parents deceased!

He wasn't originally an orphan, but I made him one!

Did I create a prodigy with my own hands?

Putting down his phone, Lin Tianheng called for a Saintess from an unknown sect. Without wasting any words, he mounted her.

She was just a toy, so why bother remembering her name?

This playtime lasted for a morning. After sitting down to recover his energy, it was already afternoon.

"I can't waste any more time. I must resolve this today!" Lin Tianheng pressed his chest, feeling that his heartbeat was a bit abnormal.

He had an inexplicable sense of unease, as if something bad would happen if he continued to delay.

He shook his head, took a few decisive steps, and arrived in front of Extreme Eternal Palace.

"Inner sect disciple Lin Tianheng, requesting an audience with the Sect Master!" If you won't come out, then I'll force you out!

After shouting, the Sect Master didn't come out, but Heng Ming did.

"The Sect Master has other important matters and has already left the sect for a long time," Heng Ming said.

"Then find a senior!" Lin Tianheng asked, "How can a mere outer sect disciple like Yang Ning, with no outstanding abilities, live in Extreme Eternal Palace? Please ask the senior to bring him out!"

"He has successfully condensed Qi and become a Qi Refining Stage disciple!" Heng Ming smiled.

"What?" Lin Tianheng was shocked. "How is that possible?"

He had only started cultivating for two years!

This was too exaggerated. Such a person must be killed!

"Even if he breaks through to the Qi Refining Stage, he shouldn't be able to live in Extreme Eternal Palace!" Lin Tianheng asked, "I have acquaintances in the Department of Heavenly Works. I can introduce him to them and help him build a beautiful mountain peak!"

"He just broke through, so he needs to stabilize his cultivation," Heng Ming smiled. "When he's done stabilizing, I will let him come out."

While speaking, Heng Ming had a strange feeling.

Was this considered lying? It seemed interesting.

Lin Tianheng nodded, not doubting Heng Ming's words. Instead, he felt excited.

Stabilizing one's cultivation only took three to five days. In other words, he would definitely come out within three to five days.

That would be his death sentence!

"Then I'll wait a few more days!" Lin Tianheng's mood improved a lot, so he turned around and left.

This scene was captured by a passing cultivator, who casually took a photo and named it "Senior Brother Tianheng's Meeting with the Sect Leader, Unworried Expression, Suspected Unpleasant Encounter," and posted it online.

Lin Tianheng didn't pay much attention to it because he often flew in the sky and would be photographed by people.

At that time, there was no concept of portrait rights, and everyone thought being photographed meant they were popular. He even hoped to be photographed.

It was just another ordinary afternoon, being secretly photographed by ordinary fans in their ordinary daily lives.

As the sun set, night fell.

All the cities and palaces in the South Forest territory began to close their doors. All the farmers and merchants who entered the city left, and no one was allowed to stay within thirty kilometers of the city.

At half past ten in the deep night, the farmers and small vendors had already arrived thirty kilometers away.

Tonight, the moon was dim and had already set.

The cultivators of the Extreme Yin Sect grumbled. Today was not a good day for practicing the Yin Technique.

At midnight, the noise in the South Forest territory gradually subsided. Those who were in seclusion began their seclusion, and those who were sleeping began to sleep.

At two o'clock in the morning, except for a few faint rooster crows and dog barks, the whole world had become completely quiet, and the sky was completely dark.

Elusive mist began to spread between heaven and earth, and the whole world became dark, with visibility reduced to zero.

On March 16th, at 2:41 am, a silent octagonal eight-layer golden pagoda appeared in the atmosphere.

The wind suddenly rose, blowing the air above this 500,000 square kilometer land. In silence, it formed a vacuum area that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, resembling a flask.

At 2:41:19 am, the pagoda suddenly enlarged. Accompanied by surging electric light, 15,000 thick metal pillars were all ejected within 0.2 seconds. Moving at a speed of 40 Mach, they silently approached the ground.

At 2:41:20 am, the pagoda silently disappeared into space.

Eyes couldn't see, ears couldn't hear, but cultivators still had spiritual perception.

Spirit Law Realm cultivators would definitely be able to detect it!

The Lin family also had Spirit Law Realm cultivators, and there were quite a few of them. However, most of them were cultivating in their respective Grotto-Heavens.

Only two people were guarding outside, named Lin Huan and Lin Xiao, who were brothers.

"Where did the attack come from?" Lin Huan looked astonished. His divine sense had only touched the metal rod for a moment, and it was directly dispersed!

"Skyless Life-Protection Wheel!" Lin Xiao didn't mind. Defense was not his strong suit. His true expertise lay in the defense divine ability called "Skyless Life-Protection Wheel."

The Skyless Life-Protection Wheel specialized in protecting one's fortune. Lin Huan and Lin Xiao had been guarding the Lin family for 130,000 years, cultivating a formidable life-saving power!

As long as they didn't deplete this life-saving power, the defense of the Skyless Life-Protection Wheel would be absolute!

With a thought, a three-inch-long, round wheel flew out from between Lin Xiao's eyebrows and grew in the air. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a gigantic shield several kilometers wide!

"This is the defense power of the Spirit Law Realm!" Yang Ning frowned. To be honest, when he conducted his experiment, he didn't consider Spirit Law Realm cultivators. It was also because he had no way of finding or testing the defense power of Spirit Law Realm cultivators with his abilities.

We can only rely on the 1.6 billion runes engraved on the Ghost Head Tungsten Chip to break through armor and spirits.

This is 1.6 billion, not 16, and when combined with a weight of 1.7 million tons and a speed of 47 Mach, even a Dao Weapon might not be able to stop it!

In the next second, Yang Ning saw the wheel's light flash, suddenly turning into endless stardust and dissipating!

"Huh?" Yang Ning was stunned.

What happened?

Lin Xiao was also confused: "Where is my Life-Protection Wheel?"

He was confused, but Lin Huan next to him was not. He also took out the Skyless Life-Protection Wheel.

But just as the Life-Protection Wheel floated out, it encountered the same problem as Lin Xiao and turned into countless stardust fragments, disappearing directly!

"This!" Lin Huan and Lin Xiao looked at each other and immediately raised their hands.

Losing the Dao Weapon is not a big deal, there's still the Divine Ability!

But as soon as they raised their hands, they were shocked to find that the protective power on their bodies had completely disappeared!

"This is... Heng Ming!" The two of them only stayed stunned for a moment before realizing.

Besides the Immortal Weapon Tower of Eternity, who could resolve two Dao Weapons so quickly? And who could instantly erase the protective power on their bodies?

They had only guarded the Lin family for tens of thousands of years, but the Tower of Eternity had truly protected the Extreme Eternal Sect and even the Extreme Eternal World for 300,000 years!

"Why!" The two of them panicked in their hearts. "Could it be that the Extreme Eternal Sect is going to attack the Lin family?"

"But how dare they?"

As soon as they had this thought, they felt a suffocating sensation in the space around them, and the whole world became quiet.

They were frozen in place! Even their mana was stagnant!

"Heng, Senior Heng Ming, are you going to destroy our Lin family?" Lin Huan's thoughts surged madly. "Don't forget your agreement with the ancestors of the Lin family. As long as the Lin family doesn't betray the Extreme Eternal Sect, you can't harm the Lin family!"

"Have I done anything? No!" Heng Ming laughed. "I just temporarily put away your Dao Weapons, and I just temporarily restrained the two of you. Don't worry, I absolutely won't cause any harm to your lives or property!"

"You!" Lin Huan and Lin Xiao widened their eyes. What kind of twisted logic was this? Wasn't he just making excuses?

And besides, wasn't Senior Heng Ming supposed to be conservative and traditional? Where did he learn these twisted methods?

Without the interception of the two Spirit Law Realm cultivators, the Qi Refining cultivators would only discover the approaching weapons when they were dozens of kilometers away from the ground.

But by then, it was already too late to intercept!

On March 16th, at 2:43:00 in the early morning, accompanied by a thunderous roar, 15,000 suns rose up in the Lin family's South Forest, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was overturning.
