Chapter 676 - 670: No One Gets Away Clean
"You really did come."
The elder in white robes stood in the courtyard, his gaze calmly fixed on Lin You.
Lin You’s expression was heavy as he gradually emerged from his stealth state.
This elder was none other than Elder Seven of the Pantheon, who had just been presiding over the ceremony.
Lin You didn’t understand why he appeared here.
But seeing the elder as if he had been waiting for a long time, he knew it was a trap set for him.
"Are you surprised?"
Elder Seven smiled slightly, not in a hurry to attack Lin You, as if everything was within his control.
And the way he looked at Lin You was full of admiration.
"Lords brought up from the Lower Realm usually have excellent qualities, such as caution and valuing their lives, ruthless enough that without some schemes, it’s impossible to lure you in."
"Even capturing those hundred people exhausted a lot of our efforts."
"Was it them who told you about me?" Lin You’s eyes narrowed.
It wasn’t impossible for the Ten Thousand Realms Emperor to leak information about him.
He just hadn’t expected that to capture a Tier Twelve Lord, they would set up such a Heaven and Earth Net, even deploying a Tier Thirteen Lord.
However.
To his surprise.
When he questioned, the elder shook his head.
"No, despite our various methods of torture, even extracting souls, they didn’t divulge any information about you."
The words of Elder Seven were filled with emotion.
Though these lords came from the Lower Realm, they once stood at the peak of a realm, and their innate dignity and pride couldn’t be compared to those from the Divine Realm.
Yet unbeknownst to him.
Upon hearing this, Lin You’s face grew even more sombre.
Using every conceivable method of torture, even soul extraction, just to force out his whereabouts?
And to speak of it so lightly.
Damn it!
All those emperors.
Died because of him!
Gradually, Lin You’s fists clenched, his entire aura going wild, with intense killing intent emerging in his eyes.
However, Elder Seven seemed to still be recounting an insignificant matter, his expression unperturbed.
"The reason I knew you would appear here is because our Pantheon possesses a Time Supreme Treasure bestowed by the Main God, which foresaw your arrival."
"So you’d better just hand over the World Core, it’s not something you can possess."
"What if I refuse?" Lin You’s eyes were icy, suppressing the urge to attack.
So.
His every move had long been known by them.
Is this the power gap between him and the Pantheon?
Run!
This was his only thought at the moment.
As soon as the words fell, he activated the Instant Shadow Skill of Shadowless, maximizing his agility, turning into a shadow darting toward the courtyard’s exit.
"Give up, you can’t escape anymore."
The voice of Elder Seven came from behind him.
Immediately, two Tier Twelve Lords stationed at the entrance suddenly appeared, tens of thousands of species had already surrounded the courtyard, sealing off all his escape routes.
"Get out of my way!"
Lin You shouted, activating Shadow Kill, transforming into an afterimage heading toward a species on the outer perimeter, throwing a punch.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, under the impact of double ignore defense damage, that species exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
The strong rebound force increased Lin You’s speed further, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the encirclement.
Yet in the next second.
A vast and overwhelming pressure swept toward him, before he could react, several fierce golden sword auras appeared before him.
"Screech!"
The sound of clothes tearing resounded, a slash opened on Lin You’s waist, narrowly avoiding the fatal strike.
But his speed wasn’t slow, continuing his escape from the Pantheon.
However, Elder Seven gave him no chance to escape, a large array of Tier Thirteen Humanoid Type Archer Species appeared behind him, bows fully drawn, countless sharp arrows shooting toward him.
So fast!
Lin You was shocked.
In just a breath, the arrows were already closing in on him, their speed was on a completely different level.
Not daring to hesitate, an invisible wave suddenly erupted, covering a range of 100 meters around him, slowing all arrows’ speed tenfold.
"Time Law! The World Core is indeed on you!"
Elder Seven’s eyes flashed with brilliance, no longer holding back, unleashing his full power, he pursued Lin You.
But even with his Tier Thirteen strength, he was still affected by the Time Law.
As soon as he stepped within Lin You’s 100-meter range, his speed dropped tenfold, only matching an ordinary Tier Twelve level.
Is this the power of time?
Elder Seven was in awe, but also immensely excited, if he could obtain this power, then wouldn’t it...
No.
Absolutely not!
Suddenly, a terrifying figure flashed through Elder Seven’s mind, immediately quashing his greedy thoughts of possessing the World Core alone.
The presence that has its eyes on the World Core is not something even their Hall Master can provoke.
If he dares to covet the World Core, he’ll die without knowing how it happened.
It’s better to trade it for a reward; it will surely level him up several times!
The more he thought about it, the more excited Elder Seven became, his gaze towards Lin You grew fervent.
"It’s useless, the Time Law consumes a massive amount of energy. With your strength, you can’t sustain it for long!"
Can’t sustain it for long?
Lin You sneered, and Xing Kui along with her clone appeared beside him, immediately activating the Sun and Lunar Eclipse skills, two suns and two moons rose into the sky, hovering above his head.
When the sun and moon coexist, all of Xing Kui’s skill effects double.
The skill effects double again when the main body and the clone activate skills simultaneously.
The Power of Law, which was nearly exhausted, began to recover at 4% per second under the sunlight and moonlight.
Then, the Photosynthesis skill descended, restoring his Power of Law by 50%, bringing it back to full capacity.
"What is this?!"
Elder Seven stared in astonishment at the sun and moon brilliance over Lin You’s head.
Earlier, he clearly felt Lin You’s Power of Law was almost depleted, but now it had fully restored again.
What kind of skill is this?
Plant-Type species having such an abnormal energy recovery skill?
In shock, he glanced at Xing Kui beside Lin You, his pupils narrowed.
"Royal Family!"
"How do you have a Royal Species?!"
At this moment.
Elder Seven was truly stunned.
Being one rank higher than Lin You, he could naturally detect Xing Kui’s attribute information.
Upon seeing the word "Royal" next to Xing Kui’s name, his heart was immensely shaken.
To know.
Even their Hall Master, who has one foot in Tier Fourteen, only has one Royal Species.
This Tier Twelve Lord before him actually possesses a species of this level.
How is this possible!
The Time Law, plus a Royal Species, appearing on a Level 3 Quasi-God, what kind of peerless genius is this?
No way!
He absolutely must not let him escape.
Otherwise, he’ll surely become a grave threat to their Pantheon in the future.
Suddenly, elder seven’s eyes flared with killing intent, his aura surged to the extreme, slowly closing the distance with Lin You.
Lin You cursed inwardly, accelerated again, fleeing desperately outside the Pantheon.
Panic-stricken, he didn’t notice he had unknowingly arrived at the back of the Pantheon, among a cluster of flame-burnt buildings.
Earth Fire!
Lin You’s eyes brightened during his escape, he plunged headlong into the Flame Zone without hesitation, simultaneously activating the Phantom Walker skill, splitting into multiple clones under the burning flames.
Although the clones don’t have an Origin Space and can’t use the Time Law, they can use his basic abilities and skills.
Once the clones appeared, they quickly rushed towards Elder Seven who was chasing from behind, launching an attack to disrupt his actions.
"Die!"
Elder Seven raised his arm, a golden Sword Aura instantly obliterating several clones.
But the sheer number of clones managed to slow his pace.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin You summoned Heaven-Devouring, casting Countdown to the End on Xing Kui, reverting her skill status to one minute ago.
Then he reactivated Sun, Lunar Eclipse, and Photosynthesis, refilling his Power of Law instantly, continuing to maintain the Time Law.
But he dared not relax, for once the Time Law expires, he’ll have no means to restrain the opponent, solely relying on clones and the Royal Species won’t be a match.
Plus, there’s still the looming threat of the Grand Elder potentially appearing.
He must come up with a strategy to shake them off.
"Master, there’s a situation ahead."
Thinking hard, Heaven-Devouring suddenly reminded him.
Lin You looked ahead, his eyes fixed not far away, spotting a huge figure, horned and demon-like, bound by countless chains in the center of a flaming stone pillar area, and he was shocked.
He realized the monstrous figure was the same entity he saw on the street earlier, transported back under Pantheon’s captivity.
So this is where it’s imprisoned.
It took an immense effort to suppress this creature, clearly pointing to its extraordinary power, finally giving him hope to break the situation.
"Since you want to play, let’s do it big!"
Sneering, Lin You accelerated towards the Minotaur Demon.
It was at this point, as Lin You approached, the Minotaur Demon, previously bowed and chained, suddenly lifted its head.
Upon sensing Lin You being pursued by Pantheon elders, its eyes suddenly glowed red.
"Human, free me from the seal, I can help you eliminate him!"
A voice full of majesty and dominance emerged, thrilling Lin You’s heart.
This monster’s power is more terrifying than he envisioned!
The pursuing Elder Seven was startled, urgently shouting:
"Don’t break the seal! If released, this creature will endanger the entire Divine Realm!"
"To hell with the Divine Realm, they all want me dead, so let them perish!"
The experiences along the way utterly enraged Lin You.
His eyes turned blood-red, heedlessly ignoring the implications of the other’s words, erupting his power vividly, striking towards the nearest stone pillar.
The chained Minotaur Demon, on the other hand, curled its lips into a sinister grin.
