Chapter 589: Displaying Might in the Black Golden Crow Clan
Boom!
The surging ocean of Yuan Power violently trembled and immediately surged upwards.
A massive wave, filled with astonishing sharpness, swept recklessly across the skies, resembling an enormous flood descending from the heavens. Like Mount Tai crashing down, it mercilessly pressed down towards Wu Yan.
As the ocean of Yuan Power swept forth, space itself began to distort. Darkness enveloped the sky and earth, casting the surroundings into shadow.
Everyone displayed expressions of shock and horror, fearful of being swept up in the Yuan Power ocean. Even experts at the Samsara Stage watched with solemn expressions.
"Sky-Flame Crow Palm!"
Wu Yan's body erupted with blazing flames, expanding several times in size as fiery light flickered around him. Resembling a flaming Golden Crow, he unleashed a solemn palm strike, causing an immense blazing palm imprint to blast forward.
Yuan Power surged, shocking everyone with the sheer magnitude of this confrontation. No one had anticipated that Lin Langtian, merely at the Death Profound Stage, could unleash such terrifying attacks.
Boom!
Under countless gazes, the green Yuan Power ocean rolled forth like an unstoppable torrent, directly suppressing Wu Yan's astonishing strike.
Boom!
At the moment of collision, a thunderous sound resonated, clearly audible within hundreds of miles. All eyes stared intently at the point of impact, where shockwaves of Yuan Power raged like a storm.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Amid tense gazes, towering waves churned within the Yuan Power ocean. In an instant, under the horrified eyes of the crowd, Wu Yan's powerful flame palm was utterly submerged and quickly dimmed within the vast green sea.
The fiery palm swiftly weakened within the overwhelming Yuan Power ocean, rapidly losing its brilliance and eventually shattering into fragments of light before being completely devoured.
Puff!
At the moment his attack was obliterated, Wu Yan's expression changed dramatically, blood seeping slowly from the corner of his mouth—a clear indication he had suffered significant injuries.
Hiss!
Outside the area of conflict, numerous observers sucked in cold breaths of air. Though they had already sensed the terrifying nature of Lin Langtian's attack, they hadn't expected a powerful Samsara Stage cultivator like Wu Yan to have his attack utterly suppressed in a single confrontation.
Lin Langtian hovered in the sky, coldly observing Wu Yan, a faint, satisfied smile on his lips.
Having unleashed the third stage of the Wood Emperor Transformation after absorbing enormous quantities of energy from the massive Yuan Trees within the Crow Realm, even a Samsara Stage expert couldn't underestimate such power.
Immediately afterward, Lin Langtian flicked his finger, causing the ocean of Yuan Power to surge forward again. It crashed down toward Wu Yan, filling the skies.
Swish!
Seeing this, Wu Yan's expression instantly changed. Having already experienced the formidable power hidden within the Yuan ocean, he dared not come into contact with it again. Stomping heavily, he retreated swiftly.
Boom!
The Yuan ocean crashed onto a mountain peak behind Wu Yan, instantly reducing the massive mountain to rubble.
Boom!
As the mountain crumbled, Lin Langtian's hand seals rapidly changed once again. The Yuan ocean transformed into an emerald torrent, swiftly traversing the skies at lightning speed before reappearing near Wu Yan.
The green flood surged like a waterfall, cutting off all of Wu Yan's escape routes with overwhelming pressure.
"Life-Death Crow Shield!"
Wu Yan's expression grew grim as black and white Life-Death Qi poured forth, quickly forming a massive energy shield around him. The shield rotated between black and white, perfectly blending Life and Death Qi.
Bang!
The emerald flood smashed heavily into the Life-Death Crow Shield. Violent energy immediately erupted, leveling nearby mountain peaks. Some experts too slow to escape spat blood as they retreated hastily.
Though initially repelled, the emerald flood surged forth again, repeatedly crashing into Wu Yan's shield like a rampaging dragon.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying impacts echoed endlessly. The land shattered and space twisted violently. Observers felt their hearts tremble, understanding that even peak Death Profound Stage cultivators would perish instantly under such relentless assaults.
Crack!
Under the fierce bombardment of the emerald torrent, cracks eventually appeared on the seemingly indestructible Life-Death Crow Shield. Wu Yan's perfect defense finally revealed a fatal flaw.
Lin Langtian's gaze was icy. Clenching his fist, the green flood slammed downward once more, shattering the shield entirely. Amidst the powerful explosion, Wu Yan's body flew backwards.
Wu Yan carved a thousand-meter trench through the ground before coming to a stop. His clothes were torn, and his face turned exceptionally grim.
He had never anticipated being forced into such a state by Lin Langtian's attacks.
"No wonder you were invited by the Wind Branch. Your personal strength might be average, but your methods are indeed tricky and formidable," Wu Yan sneered coldly.
With a fierce step forward, he unleashed an eruption of Life-Death Qi from his body. His arms swelled tremendously, morphing into a pair of enormous, ferocious flaming Crow Arms. Wu Yan punched fiercely, striking the surging emerald torrent once more.
Bang!
A thunderous collision shook the sky, the visible shockwave rippling outward. This time, the massive green torrent was pushed back.
"Again!"
Lin Langtian's eyes turned colder, and with a mere thought, the Yuan Power gathered from countless Yuan Trees surged forward again, smashing ruthlessly towards Wu Yan.
Bang! Bang!
Green brilliance clashed with flaming fists, releasing violent storms of energy. Nearby mountain peaks crumbled instantly from the destructive aftershocks.
Boom!
The emerald flood roared across the sky, colliding fiercely with Wu Yan's fiery fists, releasing waves of shocking power.
Within these fierce exchanges, the emerald torrent occasionally lost parts of its energy. However, under Lin Langtian's precise control, the endless power from countless Yuan Trees quickly replenished the losses.
The Crow Realm contained an astonishing number of ancient Yuan Trees. Thus, attempting to exhaust the emerald torrent was impossible for a single Samsara Stage cultivator like Wu Yan.
"To use such a skill, your consumption must be enormous. Let's see how long a mere Death Profound Stage cultivator like you can endure!" Wu Yan shouted coldly, continuing to resist fiercely.
Indeed, the third stage of the Wood Emperor Transformation was formidable. Even Wu Yan acknowledged this. However, the Yuan Power consumption required was enormous, and Lin Langtian's ability to sustain this so long already surpassed everyone's expectations.
Many experts understood this clearly, causing them to doubt Lin Langtian's ability to achieve a final victory despite his current momentum. The gap between Death Profound Stage and Samsara Stage was simply too vast to bridge through a single martial skill, no matter how extraordinary.
"Then let's end this quickly!" Lin Langtian sneered coldly. He clearly understood his limitations. Without his exceptional mastery over Yuan Power and Spirit Power, combined with the continuous replenishment from his Ancestral Devouring Symbol, he certainly wouldn't have lasted this long. Thus, he preferred decisive and swift conclusions against stronger opponents.
Suddenly, Lin Langtian's hand seals rapidly shifted, and the emerald torrent's speed dramatically increased. In an instant, it tore through space, avoiding Wu Yan's fierce punch, then circling swiftly behind him.
The emerald flood wrapped around Wu Yan like a giant python, sealing his movements completely.
"You think this can restrain me?" Wu Yan snorted coldly, violently releasing Life-Death Qi from his body. Terrifying waves distorted the surrounding space, causing the emerald flood to creak under the immense pressure.
However, Lin Langtian's gaze turned utterly ruthless as he clenched his fist and uttered a single chilling command: "Explode!"
Wu Yan's eyes constricted abruptly. He felt the emerald flood around him suddenly becoming chaotic.
"This brat is detonating the Yuan Tree energy?!" Wu Yan's expression changed drastically. He never expected Lin Langtian to resort to such a tactic.
Wu Yan hastily tried to fortify his defenses, flames erupting wildly around him as dense flaming Crow feathers sprouted instantly over his body.
Boom!
Before Wu Yan could fully defend himself, the emerald flood exploded violently. A brilliant green pillar of light shot into the sky, tearing through the clouds and illuminating the heavens.
As the intense light gradually faded, Wu Yan's figure reappeared, blown backward violently, bloodied and severely wounded.
All fell silent, shocked by the outcome. Wu Yan, a revered Samsara Stage elder of the Fire Branch, had truly lost to Lin Langtian, a mere peak Death Profound Stage cultivator?
Under countless stunned gazes, Lin Langtian approached Wu Yan, delivering a brutal kick directly to his mouth. The force shattered Wu Yan's teeth and sent him flying off the white jade platform, ending the match decisively.
An uproar erupted immediately, astonishment filling everyone's expressions. This result had surpassed all expectations.
In the Fire Branch, Chief Wu Yan's expression turned grim and dark, disbelief filling his eyes.
"How is this possible?!" Fire Branch elders trembled in shock, unable to comprehend Wu Yan's defeat by a mere junior.
Even Kun Jian's expression turned serious, a trace of admiration in his eyes. The silver-haired girl beside him similarly watched with shining eyes, recognizing Lin Langtian's extraordinary display of power.
The entire Black Golden Crow Clan was stunned speechless—Lin Langtian had undoubtedly shaken their world with his astonishing victory.
