David nodded. “No need to stay.”
Lin Yuan stopped talking. He raised his right hand, and a ball of golden light condensed in his palm.
That light was not the holy light of the gods, but a purer and more powerful force, like a blazing sun, like thunder.
The temperature in the hall instantly rose several degrees, the map on the table began to smoke, and the dust on the walls scattered rapidly.
Old Zhao, that tall and thin man, that middle-aged woman, and Old Xu—everyone held their breaths.
They had never seen Lin Yuan so serious.
In the past, Lin Yuan would just swat away opponents with a wave of his hand, but this time, he gathered his strength and took his opponent seriously.
The golden light grew brighter and more dazzling, until the entire hall was bathed in golden light.
Lin Yuan struck out with his palm.
The golden palm print struck David’s chest with lightning speed, tearing the air and emitting an ear-piercing scream.
The palm print was filled with dense runes, each rune containing pure Yang energy, enough to crush a small mountain into dust.
David didn’t shy away.
He didn’t even raise his hand.
He just stood there, looking at the golden palm print, a faint smile on his lips.
Chaotic purple energy gushed from his body, condensing into a thin light shield in front of him.
The light shield was very thin, almost transparent, but purple light flowed through it, a calm and deep light, like a bottomless lake.
The golden palm print hit the light shield.
No explosion, no loud noise.
The palm print was like a mud ox entering the sea before the power of chaos; it is immediately swallowed, absorbed, and disappears.
The light shield remained completely still, and David stood rooted to the spot, not even the hem of his clothes fluttering.
The hall was dead silent.
Lin Yuan’s hands were still raised in the air, and his facial expression changed from serious to shocked.
His palm print, his full-powered attack, was enough to send anyone below the ninth rank of the True Immortal Realm flying.
But David didn’t even move.
Old Zhao’s mouth was opened so wide he could fit a fist into it.
The tall and thin man dropped his folding fan on the ground and forgot to pick it up.
The middle-aged woman’s hand slipped from the knife handle, and she froze.
Old Xu walked in from outside the door frame, looking straight at David, muttering to himself.
Bing Wuhen’s hands trembled. He knew David was strong, but this was his first time seeing David fight in person.
A peak level two True Immortal Realm cultivator was able to withstand the full attack of a peak level eight True Immortal Realm cultivator without sustaining the slightest injury. This is not just power; this is amazing.
Bingxue’er’s mouth was wide enough to fit an egg.
Bing Fenghan’s eyes widened in shock, and he almost dropped the ice spear in his hand.
Jiang Xuelan watched David’s retreating figure, a faint smile on her lips.
He had witnessed David’s battle for three days and three nights with Judgment Venerable on Fifteenth Heaven, saw him single-handedly finish off five Upper Realm God Clan cultivators with his sword, and saw him crush spies into dust using the Origin of Space.
But every time he saw him do something, he was still surprised.
David retracted the light shield and looked at Lin Yuan, “Is that enough?”
Lin Yuan was silent for a long time.
He slowly lowered his hand, and the golden light on his palm slowly disappeared.
He took a deep breath, exhaled, then smiled.
That smile contained bitterness, relief, and more indescribable emotions.
“Enough.” His voice was a little hoarse. “Master is right, you are indeed the person we need.”
Old Zhao picked up a chair that had fallen from the ground, sat on it, and held his head in both hands. “Oh my God, a True Immortal Realm Level Two, he was able to withstand the leader’s palm strike at full strength. I’ve wasted the past few thousand years.”
The tall and thin man bent down to pick up a folding fan, opening it and closing it repeatedly, his expression as if he was dreaming.
“When I touched his neck with my finger, all my spiritual power disappeared. Everything disappeared, you understand? It felt like… like his body was a bottomless abyss that swallowed all my spiritual power.”
The middle-aged woman finally took her hand off the knife handle. He leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. “Luckily I didn’t. Otherwise, I would have been really embarrassed.”
Old Xu walked up to David and bowed respectfully. “Master Chen, I have practiced fire-based techniques for three thousand years and thought I had reached a high level. But after seeing your Chaos Fire today, I realized that there is always a higher level to reach. I admire you, I admire you.”
David helped him up while saying, “Mr Xu, you are too kind.”
Lin Yuan walked to the table and pointed to a mark on the map.
“The Divine Alliance has three major prisons on Sixteenth Heaven, which house tens of thousands of non-divine cultivators.”
These people include resistance fighters, captured wild farmers, and survivors of exterminated clans. They are treated like slaves in prison, and many die every day.
His finger touched the red mark.
“This is the closest prison to Freedom Valley, it’s called Blackrock Prison. It holds at least five hundred human cultivators.”
We wanted to save them, but the prison guards were too strong. The warden was a rank eight True God, with thousands of divine cultivators under his command, and the prison was surrounded by ancient boundaries.
We tried three times, and failed the third time. Many people died.
He looked up at David.
“Master said you can help us. If you can help me save those people, I will believe you.”
