Free Web NovelChapter 349: Chapter 349: Meeting in the Main Hall
Having activated War God Transformation, Lin Yun’s Combat Power was temporarily enhanced. When he unleashed Thunderfire Bombardment, he surprisingly did not fall to a disadvantage against the Blood Red Thunder. The two forces were evenly matched, locked in a stalemate.
"This kid actually withstood the Blood Red Thunder head-on," one of the Supreme Elders chuckled.
To them, Lin Yun was only at the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. For someone at his cultivation level to withstand the Blood Red Thunder, even with the help of a Secret Technique, was already extraordinary. In the eyes of the Six Supreme Elders, as long as Lin Yun was given time to improve his cultivation, he would surely become the sixth great Demon Fiend of the Eastern Domain.
Locked in a stalemate with the Blood Red Thunder, the power of both the Thunderfire Bombardment and the crimson lightning began to wane over time. By relying on his War God Transformation and Thunderfire Bombardment, Lin Yun had successfully weathered the attack.
However, it was as if the Celestial Punishment refused to let Lin Yun pass so easily. Just as he was on the verge of success, another bolt of Blood Red Thunder shot down from the crack in the sky. freёweɓnovel.com
Another bolt of Blood Red Thunder. Lin Yun was caught completely off guard. With no time to adjust, he was struck squarely by the lightning.
The immense force slammed Lin Yun viciously into the ground. As the Blood Red Thunder descended, it didn’t just obliterate the courtyard—the entire hundred-li radius around it was razed to the ground.
If not for the protective shield erected by the Six Supreme Elders, the destructive area of the Blood Red Thunder would have likely doubled.
Lin Yun’s figure was completely engulfed by the Blood Red Thunder. Under its ferocious assault, he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. If the War God Transformation hadn’t temporarily boosted his Combat Power, he would have already been knocked unconscious.
He desperately held on, repeatedly telling himself, ’I can’t pass out now. I absolutely can’t.’
As he endured the ferocious assault of the Blood Red Thunder, his War God Transformation began burning through his Elemental Power at an accelerating rate. In just a few breaths, his Elemental Power was completely depleted.
On the verge of losing the boons of War God Transformation, Lin Yun threw caution to the wind and immediately swallowed a Spring Breeze Soft Rain Pill.
After Lin Yun’s War God Transformation faded, the power of the Blood Red Thunder also slowly weakened. About a dozen breaths later, the crimson celestial thunder completely dissipated into the void.
After the Blood Red Thunder dissipated, the crack in the sky above Lin Yun slowly closed, and the dense black clouds gradually scattered. The sky was revealed once more. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Lin Yun knew he had weathered this Celestial Punishment.
He had successfully weathered his second Celestial Punishment, but the result was the same as the first. Lin Yun couldn’t even move a single finger. It was as if the Celestial Punishment had a mind of its own, refusing to rest until its target was half-dead.
Lin Yun had already withstood the first bolt of Blood Red Thunder. But who would have known that the Celestial Punishment would unexpectedly send down a second one? It was this second bolt that had injured him so grievously.
Lying flat on the ground, his body stained crimson with his own blood, Lin Yun was incredibly weak and couldn’t move a single finger.
The moment the Celestial Punishment vanished, the Six Supreme Elders retracted their Elemental Power, and the protective shield they had formed slowly dissipated. They arrived at Lin Yun’s side almost simultaneously. The Supreme Elder in charge of guarding Demon Beast Ridge surveyed the devastation and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"My house... You little rascal, let’s see how you’re going to compensate me for this."
"Alright, let him recuperate first. How about we take him to my place? It’s quiet there," the old woman said, smiling as she looked at Lin Yun.
"Your place? Why not mine? My place is just as quiet," another Supreme Elder immediately retorted.
Having just survived the Celestial Punishment, Lin Yun watched as these six supreme experts of the Eastern Domain argued incessantly around him. He wanted to speak, but he simply had no strength left.
Just then, Luo Feng’s voice suddenly came from the sky. "Martial Uncles, please don’t argue. It’s better if he comes to my place to recuperate properly."
Hearing Luo Feng’s voice, the Six Supreme Elders looked up at him as he stood hovering in the air. The Supreme Elder in charge of Demon Beast Ridge immediately shouted, "I don’t care where this kid goes! You’re back just in time. If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation for the losses to Demon Beast Ridge and my house, I won’t let you off the hook!"
"Yes, yes, of course, Martial Uncle. Let’s discuss it in the Main Hall. Allow me to take this boy to my quarters first," Luo Feng replied with a smile. Without waiting for a response, he reached out. A shroud of Elemental Power enveloped Lin Yun, lifting him up directly.
As Luo Feng was departing, that same Supreme Elder tossed Little Ape to him.
Luo Feng’s own courtyard, where he settled Lin Yun, was no different from those of the Supreme Elders. A young woman of eighteen or nineteen was also there, responsible for tending to Luo Feng’s daily needs.
"Palace Master, you’re back," the young woman said with a smile when she saw Luo Feng return.
Nodding with a smile, Luo Feng replied, "Mhm. Take good care of this boy. Here’s some Healing Medicine; give it to him. I have other business to attend to, so I’ll be back later."
Leaving Lin Yun in the young woman’s care, Luo Feng departed in a hurry. The Supreme Elders were still waiting for him in the Main Hall.
Upon arriving at the Flawless Palace Main Hall, he found the Six Supreme Elders seated on either side of the main throne, which they had left for Luo Feng.
In terms of seniority, all six were Luo Feng’s martial uncles, from the same generation as his master, so the issue of where they sat was of no concern to them. freёwebnovel.com
When Luo Feng arrived, he first bowed to the six. They were all his elders and could be considered the pillars of Flawless Palace, so Luo Feng’s respect for them came from the heart.
"You little rascal, not bad. That Lin Yun kid is a good seedling. For once, your trip to the Southeast Domain accomplished something worthwhile," a Supreme Elder said with a hearty laugh.
"Hmph, worthwhile? Then tell me, who’s going to take responsibility for all those Demon Beasts on Demon Beast Ridge? And what about my house? Who’s going to compensate me for that?" the Supreme Elder guarding Demon Beast Ridge said, extremely annoyed.
"Honestly, why are you so petty? It’s just a beat-up old courtyard. Just build a better one tomorrow and be done with it."
"Easy for you to say. Fine then, who’s going to pay for the Demon Beasts on Demon Beast Ridge? Do you have any idea? This time, half—fully half—of the Tier Three Demon Beasts on the ridge were killed!"
The smiles on the faces of the other Supreme Elders vanished upon hearing that half of the Tier Three Demon Beasts on Demon Beast Ridge had been killed.
They had no idea that such a major incident had occurred on Demon Beast Ridge. Every single one of those Demon Beasts was incredibly valuable. To lose half of them was a painful blow, even for personages of their status.
"How could half of them have died? Who did this? Find out, and they must be punished severely," the Supreme Elder in charge of the Punishment Hall said, his face devoid of emotion. It was as if he were incapable of smiling, his expression permanently taut.
