While the player is in Battle Through the Heavens, the system is in The Great Ruler

Chapter 379 Martial Ancestor, Lin Dong!

Upon hearing this, the Black Eclipse Demon Emperor did not refute it. Instead, he looked at the man in front of him with considerable apprehension. His destructive demonic eyes, besides the cold killing intent, also held an instinctive solemnity and scrutiny.

In his memory, the name of the Flame Emperor was not among the list of the most renowned and powerful figures in the Great Thousand World who could stand against the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

"In this vast world—when did someone like you appear?"

The Black Eclipse Demon Emperor's voice carried a hint of doubt and a condescending question. His surging demonic power grew increasingly heavy with each word, as he tried to ascertain the other party's true strength and origins.

Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged, but the calmness in his deep eyes seemed to reflect a hint of hesitation under the other party's demonic power.

In that moment of silent confrontation, when the atmosphere was at its most tense, "Boom!"

A deafening roar, far more muffled than thunder, violently ripped through the sky!

Immediately afterwards, an unimaginably thick and powerful spiritual light shot into the sky from the torn void.

Within the spiritual light, thunder roared, ice sealed the sky, flames burned the heavens, and space distorted—eight terrifying auras with completely different attributes, yet all having reached the ultimate level of some kind of power, perfectly merged and intertwined, ultimately transforming into a dazzling eight-colored pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth!

Within the pillar of light, a tall, javelin-like figure in a green robe stepped out, carrying an imposing aura that could change the very fabric of the world, and descended upon this place!

"Brother Xiao, why waste words with this demonic being!"

The figure in the green robe grinned, his gaze like two drawn swords, firmly locked onto the Black Eclipse Demon Emperor before him. His smile was filled with a burning fighting spirit, like rain after a long drought: "I finally managed to break through to the Eternal Tower with you, and my hands are itching to get started. If you don't come, I'm going to take the hit!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already made his move!

There were no fancy moves, just a simple palm strike. However, with the movement of his hand, the eight-colored spiritual light in the world suddenly surged violently!

A colossal hand, formed from the intertwining and condensation of eight ultimate powers, instantly appeared above the Black Eclipse Demon Emperor.

Above the giant hand, lightning surged, flames coiled, ice armor covered, space distorted to form a devouring power, and darkness and primordial power settled within it.

The eight powers were not simply superimposed, but rather generated each other in a mysterious cycle, unleashing a terrifying power far exceeding the sum of any single power. Carrying the momentum to suppress the eight wastelands and obliterate all things, it crashed down with a deafening roar!

Seeing that the man in green robes was acting recklessly and without any regard for him, the Black Eclipse Demon Emperor's expression suddenly darkened.

The humiliation and anger of losing his arm to Xiao Yan had not yet subsided, and now he was being so disrespected. A demonic flame surged within him, and he roared:

.

"Where did this nobody come from, daring to be so insolent before me!"

Before he finished speaking, his only remaining giant hand, covered with hideous bone armor, shot out like lightning. With his five fingers spread, dense, ink-black destructive magic energy gathered in his palm, carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing apart stars, and fiercely met the descending eight-colored giant palm!

He will use absolute power to crush this arrogant newcomer and his supernatural abilities together!

"Boom!"

Two equally powerful and unimaginable forces collided without any fancy moves!

The anticipated stalemate did not materialize.

The eight powers on the eight-colored giant palms seemed to find the perfect fuel the moment they made contact, and suddenly burst out with an even more intense light!

The lightning instantly tore through the outer shell of the demonic energy, flames furiously burned its essence, and icy power spread rapidly along the point of contact, freezing and slowing the demonic hand's movements. The devouring power further ripped away and dissolved the power the demonic hand had gathered.

"Snap, snap snap—"

A series of chilling cracking sounds rang out, like a mountain collapsing.

The giant bone armor hand of the Black Eclipse Demon Emperor, which was condensed with monstrous demonic energy, was actually crushed and shattered inch by inch, starting from the fingertips, under the crushing force of the eight-colored giant palm!

The demonic blood sprayed out like a waterfall, only to be evaporated and purified the moment it touched the eight-colored spiritual light!

In just one clash, his only remaining arm followed in the footsteps of the previous one and was brutally smashed apart!

"you----"

The Black Eclipse Demon Emperor's body trembled violently, and he staggered back several steps before regaining his balance.

He glanced down at the empty stumps of his two arms, then looked up at the smiling figure in blue robes who seemed to have merely swatted away a fly. For the first time, an incredulous horror, and a trace of—deep-seated fear—surged in those destructive, demonic eyes.

silence.

A chilling silence hung over the battlefield for a moment.

The Black Eclipse Demon Emperor's voice finally rang out again, but it lacked the previous rage and arrogance, replaced by an extremely solemn and deep tone: "—It was my carelessness. May I ask who you are?"

However, before the figure in green could answer, a veteran Heavenly Sovereign from an ancient force in the Great Thousand Worlds, looking at the tall figure in green in the sky, and the iconic eight-colored spiritual light and domineering fighting style, suddenly gasped.

A gasp escaped his lips, his voice trembling with excitement, yet it carried clearly across the silent battlefield: "Martial Ancestor! He is Martial Ancestor Lin Dong!"

"That man who single-handedly stormed the Ice Spirit Clan, fought the Ice Spirit Ancestor, then defeated the combined forces of three Heavenly Sovereigns, and even—pursued the Western Heaven War Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Countless gazes, filled with shock, awe, and fervor, focused unanimously on the figure in blue robes in the sky.

Martial Ancestor, Lin Dong!

This name, along with those legendary achievements, has already quietly spread among the top experts in the world.

No one expected that this legendary figure would arrive on the northern battlefield in such a powerful manner at this moment!

Hearing the exclamations below, Lin Dong couldn't help but laugh. He turned his head and winked at Xiao Yan beside him, his tone slightly teasing: "Brother Xiao, listen to this. It seems that my little bit of fame is still a little bit louder than yours."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan merely glanced at him indifferently, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips: "It's just an empty reputation. Let's deal with this filth first."

The two spoke casually, completely disregarding the Black Eclipse Demon Emperor, whose arms had been severed and whose aura was fluctuating violently.

This attitude of treating powerful enemies as nothing stirred the hearts of countless cultivators below and greatly boosted their morale.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the Black Eclipse Demon Emperor was filled with shock and anger, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation welled up in his heart. He had roamed the outer realms for tens of thousands of years, and had never been so disrespected.

However, the injury of his severed arm and the devastating blow he had just received made him realize that he had no chance of winning against these two people working together!

escape!

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he forcibly suppressed it. For the Demon Emperor, to desert in the face of battle was a grave disgrace. But—

If I were to die here, it would be utterly pointless!

In a flash, he made his decision.

"What kind of skill is it to outnumber the weak!"

The Black Eclipse Demon Emperor roared, his voice filled with resentment and unwillingness. He suddenly opened his massive maw, spewing out a mouthful of pitch-black demonic blood containing primordial essence, which shot straight into the sky!

The demonic blood did not disperse; instead, it rapidly condensed and twisted in the air, eventually transforming into a palm-sized talisman covered with eerie scarlet patterns. As soon as the talisman was formed, it emitted a chillingly malevolent aura.

"Demonic Summoning Talisman, summon all demons!"

The Black Eclipse Demon Emperor let out a sharp shriek, frantically pouring his demonic soul power into the blood-red talisman.

"Boom!"

The blood-red talisman suddenly exploded, and from the point of explosion, the void seemed to be violently crushed by an invisible giant hand.

It tore open a huge, pitch-black, and deep spatial rift!

Beyond the crack lay not ordinary nothingness, but an endless, dark world radiating a dull, lifeless light.

The sun and moon hung in the sky, yet were dim and without light, and the entire world was shrouded in an extremely oppressive and evil atmosphere. It was a completely different and terrifying plane belonging to an extraterrestrial evil race.

hum!

Just as the spatial rift formed and connected the two worlds, countless terrifying beings, seemingly dormant deep within that dark world, were awakened.

One after another, powerful thoughts, strong enough to make heaven and earth tremble, pierced through the spatial barrier like cold tentacles and "looked" toward this end of the crack.

"Hmm? Someone actually activated the demon-summoning talisman—"

"Judging from the direction and aura emanating from this fluctuation—is it Black Eclipse?"

"The situation seems dire; we've been forced to use this talisman—"

In the depths of this dark world, ancient thoughts are communicating silently.

"Who should go? After all, Black Eclipse is the patriarch of the Bone Erosion Clan among the thirty-two major clans. Although he is ranked last and has lost face, if he is really killed on the front line, it will be a loss to the prestige of our clan." A slightly hoarse thought slowly passed through.

A brief silence permeated the depths of the dark world, as many powerful beings seemed to be weighing their options.

"I'll go."

A simple, cold thought, as devoid of any emotion as the friction of a blade, suddenly rang out, interrupting the communication of the other beings.

There was no further explanation, nor any bargaining. The instant this thought was uttered, in the depths of that dark world, in a region of absolute darkness where even light had been completely extinguished, a withered figure stirred slightly.

The next moment, before the spatial rift, a withered figure, seemingly made of nothing but bones, silently appeared between the Black Eclipse Demon Emperor, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong.

This figure was extremely peculiar; his arms were not hands, but had completely transformed into two long, sharp, jet-black swords, each several meters long!

His head was lowered, as if he was examining something. There was no demonic energy leaking out of his body, but he gave people a sense of oppression that was more dangerous and more deadly than the Black Eclipse Demon Emperor, whose demonic energy was overwhelming.

It was as if he himself was a perfect and ruthless weapon born for killing.

With his appearance, the many powerful thoughts projected from the dark world seemed to ripple slightly before falling silent, as if they also harbored deep fear of this being.

Extraterrestrial evil race, a terrifying existence ranked among the top ten in the Heavenly Demon Emperor's hierarchy—

The Heaven-Destroying Demon Emperor!
