Chapter 161: Lin Ao Tian: Time to Show Off Again!

Immediately after, Lin Ao Tian took another light step forward in mid-air.

“Guts like a cave, hair standing on end.”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fleeing black-armored commanders at the Sever-Me Realm exploded mid-air, turning into blood mist.

Dozens of Sever-Me Realm cultivators died under the terrifying power of the Battle Secret.

The next second.

The supreme powerhouses of the foreign realm couldn’t hold back any longer, and several massive auras erupted in response.

In the distant sky.

You Taixu snapped out of his daze, wanting to step forward and assist, but the moment he moved, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Lin Ao Tian’s aura became incomparably sacred, and a profound Dao rhythm flowed around him.

Within his dual pupils, the figure of a middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back began to take shape.

Gradually, this figure materialized, becoming solid behind Lin Ao Tian.

It was a handsome middle-aged man with slightly graying temples.

He looked ordinary, with nothing particularly striking about him. He wasn’t extraordinarily tall or heroic, but he had an aura that made people feel at ease.

Of medium build, with an unremarkable appearance, his quiet demeanor gave him an extraordinary presence hidden within his simplicity. Plain and unassuming, yet exuding a sense of peace and truth.

Above his head floated an ancient bronze mirror, hovering up and down, emanating a misty aura of chaos.

As this figure was manifested by Lin Ao Tian’s self-transforming ability, Ji Wushen and countless members of the Ji Clan froze in place.

Their faces were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

They had all recognized this figure.

The Ji Clan’s ancestor, the Void Emperor of the human race!

In the sky above the Imperial City.

Lin Ao Tian calmly watched as the foreign realm’s supreme powerhouses approached him, and he spoke in a tranquil voice.

“In the midst of conversation, life and death are the same.”

Boom!

“The Dao is as vast as the heavens, the origin of all things, merging with the dust…”

The middle-aged man softly recited.

Then, his right arm seemed to melt as he slashed forward with immense force.

A blazing rift of light extended, splitting the entire world in two, aiming to sever the bodies of the supreme powerhouses.

Crack!

Crack!

The expressions of the foreign realm’s supreme powerhouses changed drastically, their eyes filled with terror, but their bodies were immobile.

The next second!

Their physical bodies and souls were separated, dissolving into the void, a terrifying sight beyond words.

“A promise is as heavy as gold!”

As Lin Ao Tian’s final words echoed, the supreme powerhouses vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

Immediately after.

Lin Ao Tian gazed at the back of the middle-aged man before him and said, “I once promised the Void Emperor that when the human race faced a crisis, I would lend my aid!”

At these words, the middle-aged man’s body trembled as if he had come to life. His eyes, filled with the laws of the void, turned to Lin Ao Tian, and he smiled with relief.

“With a friend like you among the human race, I can rest easy…”

The middle-aged man’s voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying a hint of reverence.

Lin Ao Tian smiled lightly, cupping his hands slightly toward the Void Emperor.

As for being called a “friend,” Lin Ao Tian accepted it with grace!

For an ancient emperor to call him a friend…

This confirmed Lin Ao Tian’s reincarnated identity!

And not just any reincarnation, but that of a supreme powerhouse of the human race!

This scene didn’t unfold quickly, but to everyone watching, time seemed to slow down, as if frozen in this moment!

Each image from earlier replayed in everyone’s minds, leaving them in awe.

The white-robed youth gave an order, and the Immortal Kings of the foreign realm clashed!

Then, with a single step, he crossed the distance between heaven and earth…

He walked through the void and arrived at the Ancient Imperial City!

With a single finger, he annihilated a Sever-Me Realm cultivator from the foreign realm…

He transformed the void, erasing the supreme powerhouses of the foreign realm.

And then, he recited a poem that made everyone’s blood boil and their scalps tingle!

The spirit of a young hero!

Making friends with the brave of five cities!

Guts like a cave, hair standing on end!

In the midst of conversation, life and death are the same!

A promise is as heavy as gold!

“I once promised the Void Emperor that when the human race faced a crisis, I would lend my aid…”

Each sentence made everyone tremble, leaving them utterly shocked!

Especially the revelation that Lin Ao Tian had once met the Void Emperor!

The implications of this were beyond words!

At this moment.

Hiss…

The Ancient Imperial City fell into silence!

Then.

Boom!!

A series of deafening exclamations shattered the sky.

“Holy crap!!!!”

“My god, Young Master Lin is an ancient powerhouse who knew the ancient emperors????”

“Heavens, this is simply too…”

“Hiss… No wonder Young Master Lin’s talent is so monstrous, able to compete with the ancient emperors. It turns out he’s a prodigy from the ancient era!!!”

“So that’s it!”

“Then the question is, who exactly is Young Master Lin?”

A Saint Lord from a certain Holy Land at the Sever-Me Realm suddenly voiced this question.

The heated discussions came to an abrupt halt.

In the sky above the Imperial City, You Taixu, who was controlling the third killing formation, couldn’t help but stagger, his lips trembling uncontrollably.

“Who exactly did I take in as the Dao Child of my Supreme Hall?”

This time, his words were filled with shock, without the previous seriousness.

You Taixu’s gaze was filled with fear as he looked at the white-robed Lin Ao Tian, who exuded an aura of absolute freedom.

He swallowed nervously, momentarily forgetting to annihilate the fleeing foreign realm powerhouses.

He remembered that he had once entertained the idea of taking Lin Ao Tian as his disciple!

At this moment, he also understood the disdain in Lin Ao Tian’s eyes back then.

Terrifyingly, Lin Ao Tian had probably already regained the memories of his past life at that time, hadn’t he?

And yet, he…

You Taixu couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, feeling a bit scared, his face flushed.

Damn it!

He, a junior, had actually dared to try and take in someone who was called a “friend” by the ancient emperors?

Wasn’t that courting death?

However, the fact that Lin Ao Tian hadn’t been angry at the time brought You Taixu some comfort.

Immediately, his gaze fell with immense respect on the ordinary-looking middle-aged man’s back.

The records of the Void Emperor were ancient, but the deeds that remained still commanded the respect of the human race!

Back then, the Void Emperor was undoubtedly a heavyweight in this world. Anyone who encountered him had to show respect.

Even emperors of the same level had to give the Void Emperor some face.

Otherwise, with the Void Emperor’s vengeful nature, anyone who offended him would be hunted down.

Even if it was just a careless word or a disdainful glance, the Void Emperor would take it as a personal insult.

Back in the day.

When the Void Emperor was traveling through the Great Void, he happened to run into Dao Ancestor of the Demon Clan.

Although both were emperor-level powerhouses, and they hadn’t had any prior interactions, they could have just passed by each other with a nod and no issues.

But who would have thought that Dao Ancestor would let a trace of contempt show at the corner of his mouth, which the Void Emperor immediately noticed.

Seeing this, the Void Emperor turned around and blocked Dao Ancestor’s path!

He questioned him on the spot!
