Having spent over a thousand years on Earth, do you, Langya Saint Lord, mean to insinuate that I, too, am a foreigner?” the Holy Mother retorted coldly.
Langya Saint Lord remained silent. Just as the Holy Mother was about to speak again impatiently, he suddenly smiled and slowly said, “I honor you with the title of Holy Mother, not because I think of you as one but because you were born of a divine spirit from the tomb of Grand Master Taoist Ancestor’s mother. Do you really believe yourself to be the Holy Mother? If you were truly the Holy Mother, I would naturally not dare to contradict you, but unfortunately, you are not… ”
“So, let me tell you, in my heart, you truly are but an outsider,” Langya Saint Lord said indifferently, pausing for effect.
“Boom!”
Upon hearing Langya Saint Lord’s words, the Holy Mother’s expression drastically changed, and she released a mighty divine aura from her body, quickly advancing towards Langya Saint Lord. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
“Langya Saint Lord, you have quite the nerve!” At the same time, the Holy Mother shouted darkly.
As the saying goes, don’t hit a man in the face, and don’t point out his shortcomings when you insult him. Langya Saint Lord’s remark was not just a show of disdain for the Holy Mother; it also carried an underlying insult.
“Heh!” Langya Saint Lord coldly chuckled, releasing his own Domain Power, which he rapidly sent towards the oncoming divine aura of the Holy Mother.
He was, after all, a superior Saint Lord—how could he take seriously the Domain Power of the divine aura from a mere Super Warrior?
“Boom—”
The collision of the two Domain Powers created a powerful explosion, causing severe fluctuations in the surrounding space and even producing tiny, almost imperceptible, cracks.
Unlike the spatial rift the Holy Mother had recently opened, which was an existing spatial barrier created by various formations and not a true crack in this space, these tiny cracks were indeed emerging faintly within this space itself.
This was the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin World, where time flowed hundreds of times slower than the outside world. Naturally, the strength and stability of this space were also hundreds of times greater than in the outside world. For such violent fluctuations to occur in this space demonstrated the power of the colliding Domain Forces.
No… not two forces… but three…
Langya Saint Lord narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards Lin Yun, who stood beside the Holy Mother.
Just a moment ago, Lin Yun had released his Domain Power, merging it with the Holy Mother’s divine aura to withstand the assault of Langya Saint Lord’s Domain Power. Indeed, Langya Saint Lord’s initial target was the Holy Mother, and he had not released his full strength of Domain Power. Had he not promptly increased the intensity of his Domain Power, he might have been at a disadvantage.
“Langya Saint Lord, by insulting the Holy Mother and the Lord of Immortal Origin, do you intend to sever ties with the Immortal Origin Holy Land?” Lin Yun said, his tone icy.
If before he could have thought Langya Saint Lord acted arrogant and unrestrained due to his prowess, and that with sufficient strength on his own part, Langya Saint Lord’s attitude might change; now, he no longer saw it that way.
Was Langya Saint Lord determined to be his enemy?
Over the energies spawned in the Immortal Origin World, or for the position of Lord of Immortal Origin?
Based on Langya Saint Lord’s recent travels throughout the Immortal Origin World and beyond, he could only remain in this universe for a few thousand years at most, right?
So, if he intended to contest with Lin Yun for the position of Lord of Immortal Origin, he wouldn’t be able to hold it for long either, which seemed somewhat unreasonable?
Honestly, being the Lord of Immortal Origin didn’t offer many benefits; for warriors at their level, strength was of utmost importance, and they could forego external forces.
If being the Lord of Immortal Origin meant Langya Saint Lord could cultivate in the thirty-third heaven of Immortal Origin World while others could only do so in the thirty-second heaven, Lin Yun had seen that there wasn’t much difference between the cultivation environments of the thirty-third and the thirty-second heavens. For such a minor difference, it seemed unlikely that Langya Saint Lord would act this way.
Then… there seemed to be only one conclusion left…
The energy produced by the Immortal Origin World every thousand years, which is the gathering of the powers from all its many heavens…
He had long known the method True Martial Saint Lord and the Holy Mother planned to use to help him enhance his strength—a once-in-a-thousand-year occurrence of energy generated by every heaven in the Immortal Origin World.
This energy, condensed from the essence of all the heavens in the Immortal Origin World, could only be generated every thousand years. It could quickly improve a person’s strength without any instability or side effects.
If Langya Saint Lord had spoken this way before Lin Yun assumed the role of Lord of Immortal Origin, Lin Yun really would not have wanted that energy.
Throughout his journey, his cultivation had never been slow, and this type of energy that could only elevate a Super Warrior by one level was, in his view, dispensable.
However, he had already become the Lord of Immortal Origin and had dealt with matters both big and small, bearing or agreeing to bear various responsibilities. Wasn’t it too excessive for the Langya Saint Lord to try to take away the benefits he was entitled to with just a sentence?
Indeed, these benefits had been discussed by the higher-ups of the Immortal Origin World and were prepared for the new Lord of Immortal Origin, as he had been told by the Holy Mother and the True Martial Saint Lord.
The new Lord of Immortal Origin, barring any surprises, would very likely be chosen from among those in the Super Warrior realm, because only those within this realm could reside indefinitely in this universe. Even upon breaking through to the Saint Lord Realm, lower and middle-tier Saint Lords could also stay for an extended period.
And he, besides coming from Earth, was undoubtedly very suitable.
The Langya Saint Lord had already consumed many resources of the Immortal Origin Holy Land and had not shouldered many responsibilities with the True Martial Saint Lord around. On what basis should he take away these benefits?
Moreover, the True Martial Saint Lord had already informed him that the dangers brought by the space node that connected this universe to the Netherworld far exceeded his imagination. They urgently needed an incredibly powerful warrior to withstand this danger, and he had already been chosen by the True Martial Saint Lord.
These energies were crucial for him to rapidly enhance his strength. How could the Langya Saint Lord just obstruct him?
Not to mention that this great danger wasn’t caused by him, but by his enemies. He was already very displeased at having to confront this danger, and now someone wanted to snatch his benefits away…
Let this Langya Saint Lord confront this danger?
He couldn’t trust the other party!
And even if the other party could withstand it, for how long?
The True Martial Saint Lord had said that the space node would gradually recover, but who knew how long it would take?
What if it needed thousands of years to recover and the Langya Saint Lord ascended? What then?
Or what if the Langya Saint Lord’s strength was insufficient? What then?
In short… he had no intention of letting go of these benefits.
“Break with Immortal Origin Holy Land? Heh! Can just you two outsiders represent Immortal Origin Holy Land?” the Langya Saint Lord said with a cold laugh.
“Lin Yun, you are also a remarkable individual. These energies are the benefits accumulated over a thousand years in the Immortal Origin World. There are many conflicts between the Immortal Origin World and Earth. As an Earthling, do you really have the face to be the Lord of Immortal Origin, to demand these energies?” After a pause, the Langya Saint Lord looked at Lin Yun with disdain.
“Heh…” Listening to the Langya Saint Lord’s provocative words, Lin Yun also laughed in irritation.
Wave after wave of Domain Power that was being released started to cause violent tremors.
“For thousands of years, you’ve depleted countless resources of the Immortal Origin Holy Land without doing much for its benefit. You’ve used this once-in-a-millennium energy more than once, haven’t you? And now, you are still just a mere upper-tier Saint Lord! Moreover, you’re not much stronger than me, a second-level cultivator in the Super Warrior realm!”
“If you have the audacity to use these energies again, why shouldn’t I?” Lin Yun retorted with a cold laugh.
“Thousands of years, even a dog would become familiar, but you’ve become ungrateful, not acknowledging Earth as your homeland anymore. Do you have the gall to criticize others? If the Grand Master Taoist Ancestor had known what you’ve become now, he’d probably regret having cultivated you back then!” Lin Yun continued indifferently after a pause.
“You’re seeking death!” Listening to Lin Yun’s mocking words, a cold light flashed in the Langya Saint Lord’s eyes as he spoke with a heavy tone.
As the saying goes, don’t hit a man in the face and don’t uncover one’s shortfalls when criticizing. Lin Yun’s mocking had touched a nerve, igniting a fury of humiliation within him.
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Langya Saint Lord swiftly dashed towards Lin Yun, throwing a punch at him.
