The God of Heavens

Chapter 335 Punishment, Bloodbath

The sight of blood everywhere was horrifying, sending a chill down everyone's spine, a coldness rising from the soles of their feet to their skulls.

The square was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; not a single person uttered a word. It was a powerful deterrent, and the oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

"You colluded with foreign tribes to assassinate me. Yu Han, do you know your crime?!"

Lin Yu stood motionless in the void and asked again.

"How dare you! Are you trying to run wild in the Holy City of Humanity and offend the Grand Commander?!" Finally, an old soldier shouted, breaking the silence of the scene.

It was only then that people came to their senses, and a murmur of discussion immediately broke out.

Everyone was amazed by Ye Linyu's strength and sharpness; he made such a surprising move as soon as he appeared.

He actually let blood splatter onto the Great Commander of the Human Holy City. Such an act of openly displaying military power was simply outrageous!
Seeing this, several veteran soldiers quickly stepped forward, some holding bronze halberds, others pointing longswords at Ye Linyu, their spears aimed at him with chilling killing intent.

Lin Yu stepped forward, his eyes darting around, and a wisp of primordial magnetic light flew out, piercing through the man's brow, causing blood to splatter everywhere, and his primordial spirit to turn into a rain of light.

"How dare he kill someone in the city! He completely disregards the rules of the Ancient Star Road. This kind of person is a traitor to humanity! Everyone, let's attack together and kill him on the spot! Everyone who helps will be rewarded handsomely!"

The captain under the commander roared fiercely, his voice like thunder, echoing throughout most of the ancient city.

"Yu Han, do you still not know your crime?"

Lin Yu took another step forward, and the Yuan Magnetic Immortal Light changed, transforming into a Starry Sky Divine Blade that sliced ​​through the space in all directions, sweeping across and shattering the bronze swords of a row of soldiers before cleaving the captain in two.

"puff!"

Blood-red cracks spread, and the captain's blood splattered several feet high, his body split in two, lying dead on the spot.

Instantly, a chilling killing intent swept over them, and the others stopped immediately, almost simultaneously.

"What exactly do you intend to do?!" Commander Yu Han shouted.

"Still not giving up? Take a closer look at the head under your feet, whose is it?" Lin Yu said sarcastically.

"Ok?"

As if waking from a dream, everyone was surprised to realize that they had forgotten about the cultivator's face.

At this moment, as the fog in their hearts was cleared and they focused their attention, a storm of emotions surged within everyone's hearts.

“This… is impossible?!”

"My God, is it Yan Yu, the former Grand Commander of the Ancient City?"

"He actually died at the hands of this ruthless man?"

Former Grand Commander Yan Yu, who has been retired for many years, possesses unfathomable strength and is renowned in this city, known to almost all the natives.

"You actually killed this person! Do you even know who he was?!"

Yu Han sensed something was wrong.

The former commander-in-chief, Yan Yu, was exceptionally strong, even surpassing him, yet he died so hastily. He had never seen such a reckless person.

"A mere ant, unworthy of having my name known."

Lin Yu raised his hand and waved, sending out a wisp of divine thought that recreated the scene in the ancient Daoist temple, which he then displayed to the public.

"What else do you have to say?!" Lin Yu sneered, his killing intent chilling to the bone, making the entire human holy city seem as if it had entered the coldest days of winter.

Everyone was stunned, then erupted into a clamor. At this point, everything indicated that Lin Yu was about to wreak havoc in the city.

"Qiang!"

Commander Yu Han roared and attacked, his banner, surging with demonic energy, blotting out the sky and pressing down on Lin Yu like a black curtain: "Monster! How dare you use evil magic to bewitch the heroes! Today I will surely eliminate you!"

"Capture this scoundrel and restore our innocence!" the remaining soldiers shouted, setting up an ancient formation and charging forward with their commander as the vanguard.

"boom!"

A golden banner fluttered in the wind, and within its surface, a real star field evolved, with the power of billions of stars pouring down!

"Boom!"

The entire ancient city trembled, buildings collapsed, and the earth cracked and mountains shook. The holy banner, forged from star sand, now unleashed a pressure that even a holy king would feel terrified.

Lin Yu sneered, raised one arm to the sky, and actually grabbed the overwhelming flags with his bare hands!
"Arrogant!" Yu Han sneered. "Void Imprisonment!"

The star field within the flag suddenly contracted, threatening to engulf Lin Yu. However—

"boom!"

One punch can break all laws!

The Golden Holy Banner trembled violently, and the star field within the banner crumbled inch by inch. Lin Yu's five fingers, like hooks, tore open the banner and grabbed Yu Han's neck!

"you"

"Snap!..."

With a crisp cracking sound, the Grand Commander's primordial spirit, along with his physical body, was crushed against the golden holy banner! Blood splattered on the tattered banner's star map, like a scarlet meteor shower.

The remaining soldiers were terrified and turned to flee. Lin Yu waved his sleeve, and the Yuan Magnetic Immortal Light swept across, causing more than a dozen bodies to explode into blood mist at the same time.

The entire ancient city was deathly silent.

"Fellow Daoist, let's stop here."

An aged voice rang out, and everyone realized that the guide had somehow appeared in the blood-stained square.

He trod on the still-wet bloodstains, yet his figure was as hazy as mist. This peak Saint King had clearly witnessed everything.

"What a pity." The guide sighed softly, a few white flowers falling from his sleeve. "He had one foot in the realm of Saint King, but his greed ruined his path."

The moment the pure white petals touched the ground, the corpse and bloodstains vanished like smoke.

The entire square was restored to cleanliness, except for the tattered golden holy flag, which still lay askew on the ground, silently telling the story of the dramatic events that had just occurred.

"The ironclad rules of the Ancient Starry Road," the guide's voice turned cold, "are that no commander guarding the trial grounds may have selfish motives, or the enforcers will surely punish them." He looked up at Lin Yu: "Yu Han has not yet caused a major disaster, and his death is enough to atone for his sins. I wonder if you can accept this outcome?"

However, Lin Yu did not want to end things like that. He calmly said, "Former Commander Yan Yu colluded with alien races, and his crime is unforgivable. Those who colluded with him should not be let off the hook either."

"What is your intention, fellow Daoist?"

"Kill those who deserve it, arrest those who deserve it, and everything must be brought to light." Lin Yu's words were firm and resounding, like the clang of a sword.

The guide gave him a deep look: "The Holy City is locked, no one can leave. Fellow Daoist, please feel free to do as you please." Before he finished speaking, his figure had already vanished like mist.

This conversation caused an uproar throughout the city—

Such a major event as the invasion of alien races, yet the guide simply sealed off the city with a light touch?

What's even more alarming is that the peak Saint King figure's words revealed a hint of apprehension.

They all turned their gazes to Lin Yu, wanting to see how this ruthless man from the Burial Emperor Star would end up.

However, in front of Lin Yu, he treated the remaining people as if they were all dead, and no amount of force could help him.

Lin Yu stood up and strode towards the Yan clan. People in the teahouses, taverns and other places immediately began to whisper among themselves, and many others stood up as well.

"What does he want to do? Does he intend to break into the Yan residence?"

"Nonsense, Yan Yuren died at this man's hands, what wouldn't he dare to do?"

On the street, both the city's natives and the trial participants made way for him. He established his authority in one battle, and a man who dared to kill two successive commanders of a city was definitely an untouchable overlord.

His fame shook the second holy city of the human race. It is foreseeable that if he continues on this path, he will likely leave behind an immortal legend.

"boom!"

The magnificent gatehouse of the Yan family, covering an area of ​​several tens of feet, was directly shattered in the sky, dust billowed up, and the Yuan Magnetic Immortal Light swept across, causing blood rain to fly everywhere.

"what--"

Amidst piercing screams, several figures soared into the sky, only to explode into a bloody mist mid-air. Shattered bones and blood rained down, staining the entire long street crimson.

"He actually dared to massacre the Yan family!"

"That's the old commander's family, and they have a very close relationship with Gu Lu!"

The onlookers were shocked. Lin Yu moved as if he were in an empty place. Wherever he passed, palaces collapsed and restrictions were broken. Those Yan family cultivators who were usually high and mighty were crushed like ants.

"A ruthless person from the Burial Emperor Star," someone whispered in a trembling voice, "is he going to fight his way all the way to the Imperial Pass?"

"We beg the law enforcement to intervene and kill the thief!"

Inside the Yan residence, everyone struggled and wailed under the Yuan Magnetic Immortal Light.

Everyone was stunned. Enforcers held a prestigious position on the ancient starry road and were rarely seen. Who would have thought that they would appear at the Yan residence?

In an instant, the scene fell silent.

Lin Yu remained silent, focusing solely on his killing spree.

"How dare you! Do you know what you're doing, showing such utter disrespect to me!"

A soft, cold shout pierced the sky as the enforcer arrived, his divine robes forged from the essence of the Great Luo Silver shimmering brilliantly, his face shrouded in a silver mask.

Surprisingly, he was accompanied by a person wearing a purple-gold crown, who was also a Saint King.

“Enforcers,” Lin Yu challenged first, his voice like cold iron, “if any race colludes with other races and betrays humanity, what crime should they be punished for?”

"I am already aware of this matter, and I will naturally investigate it thoroughly."

The enforcer shouted, his body gleaming with silver light. His divine robes, forged from the essence of the Great Luo Silver, were so dazzling that people could not open their eyes, creating an illusion.

The law enforcement officer paused briefly, then continued in a firm and cold voice.

"However, Yan Yu made many contributions to the human race during his tenure. The Yan clan's affairs cannot be handled so simply. We must carefully investigate and avoid making a mistake."

The law enforcement officer spoke up to appease Lin Yu. After all, Yan Yu had been caught red-handed, so he couldn't say much. However, the Yan clan members were their pawns on the ancient human path, so they naturally had to protect them.

"Hey, what are you doing? Stop right now! Did you even hear what I said?!"

However, when he glanced over, he saw that Lin Yu was still slaughtering people, the Yuan Magnetic Immortal Light was like a reversed Milky Way, countless restrictions were collapsing, and people from the Yan family were dying in droves. He was immediately enraged.

"Brother Liu, there's no need to waste words with him. Let's capture him first and then interrogate him carefully."

Beside him, the Saint King, wearing a purple-gold crown, spoke.

“Very well, Brother Qi, this man is unruly and arrogant, so this is just as it should be.” The Enforcer nodded.

It turned out that the person in front of him was named Qi Zheng. Although he was not as strong as him, his identity was extraordinary. He was the eldest grandson of Qi Tian, ​​the protector of the ancient road.

He is Qi Tian's most favored descendant, and has been a Saint King for a long time. This time, he has also come for the source of the Dao.

Although the ancient road of the human race is shared by all, it has become tangled and decayed over the years.

With soldiers, captains, commanders, guides, law enforcers, and protectors, a strict hierarchical system was formed.

The soldiers and captains are mostly former prodigies who embarked on the ancient road in the past. They struggled below the realm of saints, failed in their careers, and settled here.

The position of commander can only be held by cultivators at the Saint Realm. These defeated powerhouses, because of their attachment to the ancient road, were eventually assigned to various ancient cities to become guardians of their respective regions.

The guides are the best of the Saint King realm. Although they may not reach the pinnacle of the Emperor's Road, they are still capable of guarding the city and becoming the guides for the human race in the star field.

The law enforcers who stand above all the cities are all peerless experts at the peak of the Saint King realm, responsible for patrolling various places, upholding justice, and maintaining the righteousness of the ancient human path.

As for those who truly dominate the ancient road, they are the few Great Saint-level protectors.

Throughout countless millennia, only a handful of people have been able to ascend to this position, and with a single thought, they can determine the course of the entire ancient road.

Now, it seems that some of the guardians of the ancient human path have forgotten their original intentions and are placing their own interests above those of the human race.
