This white-haired man remained calm even when facing so many Nascent Soul cultivators—
clearly, he was no ordinary figure.
Since someone was willing to test the waters first, they were naturally content to watch.
"You are not qualified to know my name."
Wang Lin looked down at Jin Kui, his expression indifferent.
"Was it you who just tried to kill my friend?"
His words were calm, yet filled with an aloof, condescending authority.
Jin Kui felt immense pressure bearing down on him.
He was now certain that this white-haired man's cultivation far surpassed his own—
perhaps even reaching the late Nascent Soul realm.
This was not someone he could afford to provoke.
Realizing this, Jin Kui immediately suppressed his aura and bowed respectfully.
"Fellow Daoist, I am the Grand Elder of the Star Palace. If there has been any misunder—"
"Enough."
Wang Lin let out a cold snort.
In the next instant, an overwhelming aura belonging to the late Nascent Soul stage erupted outward, locking onto Jin Kui.
—Bang!
Before Jin Kui could finish speaking, he was slammed into the massive gate pillar by terrifying spiritual pressure.
His knees buckled, his body bent unnaturally, and he was forced to kneel.
The scene left everyone stunned.
Wan Tianming, Man Huzi, and the Extreme Yin Ancestor all stared wide-eyed.
As they looked at Jin Kui trembling on the ground, two words surfaced simultaneously in the minds of every Nascent Soul cultivator present:
Nascent Soul!
Jin Kui was already at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.
Even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator at Great Perfection could not suppress him so completely with aura alone.
Only one possibility remained.
This white-haired man was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
A true Nascent Soul cultivator had descended upon the Void Heaven Palace.
In an instant, despair flooded everyone's hearts.
With such an existence present, what opportunities were they still fighting for?
Were their lives even worth anything anymore?
"I, Wang, will not ask the same question twice."
Wang Lin's voice was ice-cold.
"Since you refuse to answer, then you may die."
He reached out casually and grasped Jin Kui's hand.
In the very next moment—
Jin Kui, who was kneeling before the gate, exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
His Nascent Soul was obliterated, his body and soul annihilated without leaving even a trace.
Deathly silence engulfed the entire Void Heaven Palace.
Wan Tianming, Man Huzi, and the Extreme Yin Ancestor felt chills run through their bones, their faces drained of all color.
Killing a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator at peak strength—
as easily as crushing an ant.
Was this the true power of a Nascent Soul cultivator?
"Sect Master Wang—run!"
Seeing Jin Kui die instantly, the other Star Palace elder immediately activated his escape technique and fled toward the outside of the Void Heaven Palace.
Before leaving, he deliberately shouted toward Zi Ling.
Zi Ling's face turned deathly pale.
That bastard was clearly trying to draw Wang Lin's attention to her.
He was using her as a shield!
"Senior—"
Zi Ling hurriedly bowed toward Wang Lin, about to explain.
But at that moment—
a thunderous crash echoed from the entrance of the Void Heaven Palace.
She watched as the fleeing Star Palace elder was suddenly flung back like a broken kite, smashing violently into the palace wall and leaving behind a massive crater.
Zi Ling turned her head.
She saw that the young man who had transformed into a ten-thousand-foot Vermilion Bird was now standing at the entrance.
"The kind of people I despise the most…"
Zhu Chen twisted his neck, fists clenching tightly as he stepped forward.
"…are those who like to play dirty tricks."
With a single flap of his wings, his figure turned into a streak of light almost invisible to the naked eye, crashing straight toward the Star Palace elder who was struggling to rise from the rubble.
Boom!
A deafening explosion shook the entire area.
The Star Palace elder didn't even have the chance to beg for mercy before being smashed to death by Zhu Chen.
Unlike Wang Lin, however, Zhu Chen did not annihilate the opponent's Nascent Soul. Instead, he directly stored it within his Cave Heaven, planning to refine it later.
After cultivating the Ancient God Technique, Zhu Chen had long understood one principle: everything under heaven and earth could be seized and used.
A cultivator's Golden Core and Nascent Soul were both extremely nourishing existences. Letting them go to waste would be sheer extravagance.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu."
At this moment, Wang Lin flew over with Xiao Yan and the others, personally expressing his thanks.
When Zhu Chen learned that Wang Lin had perfected his Life and Death Intent and successfully broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, he immediately gave him a thumbs-up.
He truly hadn't expected Wang Lin's comprehension to be so terrifying.
