An extremely terrifying pressure surged forth as the Great Emperor bloodline power suddenly boiled at this moment!
Amid a sweeping tidal wave of heat, Lin Yan’s cultivation realm began to skyrocket!
8th stage Life and Death Realm!!
9th stage Life and Death Realm!!
Until… the peak of the Life and Death Realm!!
This was Lin Yan’s other constitution—the power of the Great Emperor bloodline!!!
Watching Lin Yan’s realm rise rapidly, Ye Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.
“As expected of a top-tier Child of Fate. Once you turn on the cheat, it’s fierce… but… it’s useless…”
After all, Ye Mu had already cultivated the Supreme Yang Heaven-Burning Art to great perfection. Forget the peak Life and Death Realm—even if someone at peak Nirvana Realm showed up, it still wouldn’t matter much!!
“Ye Mu! Today… I’ll let you know exactly what happens when you anger me, Lin Yan!!”
But Lin Yan didn’t know any of this. After his realm increased, he looked at Ye Mu with a confident and ferocious smile!
He was about to unleash his martial divine ability to crush Ye Mu!
Seeing this, Ye Mu was just about to respond—
However… at that moment!!
A violent pain suddenly erupted from Lin Yan’s dantian! Immediately after, his realm began to plummet like a punctured balloon!
In just moments!
He fell from peak Life and Death Realm to 8th stage… then 7th stage… and even… 6th stage Life and Death Realm!!
In an instant, the smile vanished from Lin Yan’s face. He bent over in pain, clutching his dantian, his face full of shock and confusion!!
“My… my realm! What… what is going on!?”
Ye Mu was also puzzled at first… but soon he understood. After all, over these past few days, everything he gave Su Qianqian had been fake sacred medicine with massive side effects!!
Clearly… Lin Yan was now suffering from those side effects!!
“Yan’er! Your dantian is filled with extremely potent pill poison!”
Gu Xiyu also noticed the problem and said in shock.
Lin Yan looked stunned. “Pill… pill poison? But these past few days, I haven’t taken any spiritual medicine at all!!”
Lin Yan knew the saying that every medicine carried poison. But these days… he had barely taken any pills, except for the top-grade sacred medicine Su Qianqian had obtained for him…
Wait!!
Top-grade sacred medicine!!
Lin Yan’s pupils suddenly contracted!!
His breathing grew rapid, and deep anger filled his eyes.
No wonder… no wonder every time he took the top-grade sacred medicine these past days, his dantian would ache faintly!!
No wonder the effects of the medicine felt weak!!
So it turned out… Ye Mu had poisoned the top-grade sacred medicine!!
“Ye Mu!! I’ll kill you!!”
At this moment, Lin Yan was completely consumed by rage. He suddenly stood up, about to—yet the intense pain from his dantian struck again, forcing him to bend over in agony!
“Brother Lin, what’s wrong with you!!”
Seeing Lin Yan like this, Su Qianqian was terrified and hurriedly asked!
“Don’t touch me, you poisonous woman!!”
If this were the Lin Yan of before, being cared for like this by Su Qianqian would have delighted him. But now!! He only felt that Su Qianqian was mocking him!
He clenched his teeth, first looking at Ye Mu, then at Su Qianqian!
His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to a few days ago—when he had received the sacred medicine, laughing foolishly, thinking he had gained a huge advantage!!
Who would have thought that his childhood sweetheart had already betrayed him! And the sacred medicine she gave him was laced with deadly poison!!
“Po… poisonous woman!? What do you mean… Qianqian, what did I do wrong!”
Su Qianqian didn’t understand why Lin Yan was calling her that and stood there helplessly!
Lin Yan ignored Su Qianqian and locked his gaze onto Ye Mu, then sneered.
“Ye Mu!! You think poisoning me is enough to defeat me? Heh… don’t celebrate too early!! I still have a trump card!!”
As his words fell—
Clang!!
A deep, resounding bell rang out!
Amid ancient waves of aura, a massive giant bell suddenly appeared inside the Holy Son Hall!!
It was the Archaic Bell!!
“Hahaha! Ye Mu, recognize this bell!?”
Lin Yan laughed savagely. “Today, I’ll use the sacred artifact you personally gave me to suppress you right here!!”
With that—
Clang!!
Lin Yan controlled the Archaic Bell, releasing another heavy bell toll to attack Ye Mu!!
However!! In the next instant!!
Pfft—!!
The bell toll didn’t strike Ye Mu at all. Instead, it slammed back into Lin Yan’s own body, making him spit out a mouthful of blood!!
“Th-This… what’s going on!! Why is the Archaic Bell attacking me!?”
Lin Yan’s face filled with terror!
Seeing this, Ye Mu couldn’t help but laugh out loud!!
Eating fake sacred medicine!!
Holding a counterfeit sacred artifact!!
And Lin Yan still hadn’t realized it—Ye Mu was genuinely amused!
“You’ll know soon enough.”
Ye Mu said softly.
Then he took out the real Archaic Bell from the system space!!
In an instant, accompanied by ancient aura, another massive giant bell appeared before Lin Yan!!
Looking at the bell that was identical in appearance and aura to the one beside him, Lin Yan’s face filled with disbelief!!
“This!! How is this possible!! Didn’t you already give the Archaic Bell to me!?”
Ye Mu didn’t answer his question. He merely raised his hand slightly.
The next moment—
Clang!!
Lin Yan hurriedly activated his own Archaic Bell to release a bell toll in response!!
In an instant!! The two bell sounds collided violently!! Terrifying shockwaves enveloped the entire Holy Son Hall!!
For a time… the two Archaic Bells were evenly matched!!
However… as time passed!!
The bell sound from Lin Yan’s Archaic Bell began to shake violently, cracks appearing throughout its resonance!!
In the next moment, before Lin Yan’s horrified eyes—
Boom!!
An extremely terrifying explosion erupted!!
Lin Yan’s Archaic Bell directly shattered into pieces!
This caught Lin Yan completely off guard. His body was swept up by the explosion’s aftermath, hideous wounds opening across him as blood covered his entire body!!
“Brother Lin!!”
Seeing this, Su Qianqian rushed forward anxiously, trying to support Lin Yan!!
Lin Yan dodged her again and roared, “I already told you!! Don’t touch me!!”
Seeing that Lin Yan truly seemed furious, Su Qianqian froze in place, her delicate face full of disbelief!
But Lin Yan paid her no attention. He only raised his head and roared at Ye Mu!
“What exactly is going on!! The Archaic Bell!! Why did it explode!!”
He paused, suddenly realizing something. His pupils shrank sharply…
“C-Could it be that the Archaic Bell you gave me… was a fake!!”
Ye Mu smiled and put away the Archaic Bell. “Congratulations… you guessed right!!”
As his words fell, Lin Yan felt every drop of blood in his body boil violently! His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at Ye Mu!
“Ahhh!! Ye Mu, how vicious you are!!”
Then he turned toward Su Qianqian, gritting his teeth. “And you, you shameless woman!! You actually colluded with Ye Mu to harm me!!”
Su Qianqian’s eyes reddened as she trembled and shook her head.
“I… I didn’t… I didn’t!”
Lin Yan continued roaring.
“And you still say you didn’t!! The poisoned sacred medicine!! The fake Archaic Bell!! You were the one who gave me all of it!!”
Su Qianqian spoke through sobs.
“I… I really didn’t know the sacred medicine was poisoned… and I didn’t know the Archaic Bell was fake… I truly… didn’t know…”
Lin Yan laughed crazily. In his eyes, Su Qianqian had already been secretly involved with Ye Mu days ago—how could she not know about something this important!
The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred!
And Lin Yan was an extremely arrogant person…
So he threw his head back and laughed loudly!
“Hahaha! What a ‘didn’t know’!! Truly a fine ‘didn’t know’! Su Qianqian! From today on… I sever all ties with you! From this moment forward! You and I are strangers forever!!”
[Ding! Detected complete rupture between Lin Yan and Su Qianqian. Lin Yan’s luck has been severely impacted. Gained luck point.]
The system’s voice rang out slowly!
Ye Mu frowned slightly, then turned his head toward Su Qianqian…
Only to see Su Qianqian at this moment…
