Supernatural Power: Immobilization Spell
Lin Jiuzhou has lost!
This young powerhouse, hailed by the Donghua Lin family as having the potential to become an emperor and at least ranking among the top five geniuses in the empire, was defeated so quickly that many people didn't even have time to react.
Although the battle just now lasted less than a quarter of an hour, its intensity far surpassed that of a sixth-rank battle king.
It was even more intense and terrifying than some battles between seventh-rank battle emperors.
The deadly intent contained within can be described as ever-changing.
The strategic moves each side devised, and the combat wisdom they displayed, were truly astonishing.
It's hard to imagine that this was really just a battle between a fifth-rank War General and a sixth-rank War King.
In particular, Chen Beiyuan's physical abilities were astonishing. Was he really a fifth-rank war general?
Whether in terms of physical body or soul, he far surpasses a fifth-rank battle general, and is even more terrifying than Lin Jiuzhou, the empire's top genius!
What's even more shocking is that Chen Beiyuan actually mastered an extremely powerful divine ability?!
"A fifth-rank War General has mastered a divine ability that only a seventh-rank War Emperor can control. This is not only earth-shattering, but probably nothing like this has ever happened in the Donghua Empire since its founding."
"It's a pity that Lin Jiuzhou's Devouring Heaven Divine Power was not restrained by Chen Beiyuan's mysterious divine power and his [Taotie] Battle Soul was torn apart, so he would not have been defeated so quickly."
"Lin Jiuzhou's defeat was not unjust. His killing trap might have succeeded if it had been used by any other imperial prodigy. It's just a pity that he encountered a monster who was younger, stronger, and more terrifying than him!"
"I originally thought that Chen Beiyuan would need several more years of accumulation before he could keep up with the younger generation of monsters like Lin Jiuzhou. Now it seems that I was wrong."
"Now it seems that among the younger generation of strong individuals, Chen Beiyuan is probably enough to be among the top three."
"Like the Yangtze River, the new generation surpasses the old; with such a prodigy in the Chen family, they are destined to prosper for hundreds, even thousands of years..."
The numerous imperial figures who had come to watch looked at the Chen family's tightly closed gates and Lin Jiuzhou, who had suffered severe injuries and was in a deep coma, and couldn't help but utter strange sighs.
In a sense, today's battle is also a covert confrontation between the Chen family and the Lin family, two top aristocratic families.
Many people thought that Lin Jiuzhou would be able to overpower Chen Beiyuan with his advantages in cultivation and age, but the final result was a huge surprise.
The moment Lin Jiuzhou collapsed, a powerful member of the Lin family appeared on the scene and took him away.
...
The Chen family.
"Lin Jiuzhou's strength is among the top five of the younger generation. He is indeed not simple. He was able to force out two of my trump cards."
"As the young master of the Lin family, he most likely still has some kind of last resort to save his life. Killing him won't be so easy unless I use other trump cards."
"However, why would I kill him? Putting aside the fact that after Lin Jiuzhou's fall, the Lin family will definitely go completely mad and start a full-scale war with the Chen family, wouldn't that pave the way for Lin Jiuxiao and Lin Xiao, the'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick', to rise to power?"
"Now, Lin Jiuzhou is more valuable alive than dead."
Chen Beiyuan's eyes were deep and dark as he muttered to himself.
Top families have many methods, and young masters of such families, like Lin Jiuzhou, often have hidden means of self-preservation.
Those eighth-rank War Emperors usually leave a hidden "spiritual imprint" in their heirs' bodies, which will be activated on its own at critical moments.
Under these circumstances, killing these heirs of top aristocratic families would be extremely difficult.
This is the fundamental reason why Chen Beiyuan and Lin Jiuzhou's battle just now was almost a desperate fight, without any mercy.
Because both sides knew very well that they wouldn't die; at most, they would suffer some physical pain, like losing a hand, a foot, or a penis.
When the time comes, we can just use the Heavenly Treasure to connect it.
In the original novel, Lin Jiuzhou, the young master of the Lin family, died because he fought a deadly battle with the original owner of this body, a villain destined to save his life. This resulted in him using his "life-saving trump card" and sustaining serious injuries.
In the end, he was betrayed and secretly killed by his own ungrateful younger brother and Lin Xiao.
Of course, given Chen Beiyuan's current abundance of "trump cards," he is quite confident in killing Lin Jiuzhou.
Putting everything else aside, this time he only revealed his two trump cards: the [Sitting in Oblivion Dao Scripture] and the [Blood Dragon Transformation].
In addition, he also has many trump cards that he has not yet played, such as the [Wordless Medical Scripture], the [Divine Transformation Stone], [Anu (Bloodthirsty Dragon Emperor)], the [Ancient Imprisoning Dragon Lock (Eighth-Rank Divine Weapon)], and the [Abyss (Destined Battle Soul)].
With so many trump cards at his disposal, even if Lin Jiuzhou had ways to protect himself, he would still die!
But why did he kill Lin Jiuzhou?
Paving the way for Lin Jiuxiao and Lin Xiao, these two "hidden dragons and phoenix chicks"?
Without Lin Jiuzhou keeping him in check, Lin Jiuxiao, that ingrate, will likely be able to rise to power under the halo of Lin Xiao, the chosen one.
At that time, the two dragons and phoenix chicks will likely reap enormous benefits.
Moreover, the entire Lin family will be united in their hatred of the enemy and fight the Chen family to the death.
It would be better to follow the original plot and let Lin Jiuxiao follow the "script" of killing his brother and father, taking his sister-in-law for himself, and betraying his second sister.
Only then will it be easier to manage the internal strife within the "Lin family".
"Next, it's time for the Imperial Royal Family to step in... no, it should be to step in and mediate the conflicts between the various parties!"
"This time, the Chen family and the Lin family didn't fight to the death. I'm afraid many people are disappointed."
"Many people have been coveting the empire's military power for a long time."
Chen Beiyuan's lips curled up, revealing an undisguised sarcasm.
Just then, the long-dormant [Defying Fate System] reappeared.
[Ding! Due to the host's intervention, the tragic fate of the destined heroine "Leng Ruobing" was averted, causing Leng Ruobing to develop feelings for the host. Simultaneously, this indirectly led to Lin Jiuxiao (an important supporting character) experiencing fertility problems, and his sexual orientation and personality becoming distorted, resulting in bizarre changes in the subsequent plot!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a special reward: Dragon Blood Dao Fruit x2]
[Ding! The host has made a powerful move, defeating Lin Jiuzhou (an important supporting character), the young master of the Lin family, in front of everyone, under the full gaze of the public. This has significantly damaged the reputation of the Donghua Lin family and announced to the outside world the Donghua Chen family's status as the top military family.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a special reward: Immobilization Spell (Supernatural Power)]
[Immobilization Spell (Supernatural Power): One of the ancient Taoist supernatural powers, which can use one's own qi, blood and spirit as a medium to forcibly immobilize the target's soul and body, making them unable to move and lose the ability to resist.]
(The specific effects depend primarily on the difference in cultivation levels between the caster and the victim. When the difference in their cultivation levels is too great, a backlash from the divine power is highly likely.)
