You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Golden Feather Demon Saint?

Lin Yue slightly squinted his eyes.

After the true ability of Flying Spirit Chasing Sun had been developed, ordinary saints could no longer handle him.

Unless it was...

A Demon Saint who mastered the Heavenly Reversal Path?

Suddenly, a beam of golden light descended from the sky, weaving through the intricate branches of the World Tree, leaving a golden rainbow-like trajectory in the air, fantastical and wondrous, like the wind, like electricity, like light, like mist.

The golden light landed on the ground, transforming into a tall man shrouded in golden electric light, accompanied by an invisible whirlwind.

Though the astonishing pressure and aura were much stronger than that of other Demon Saints, they were not quite at the Heavenly Reversal level.

Furthermore, the tall man's body was clearly a spiritual body...

"Avatar?"

Lin Yue sized up the tall man and said, "Even if you're a Heavenly Reversal Demon Saint, do you really think just a single avatar is enough to deal with me?"

Generally speaking, Heavenly Reversal saints were much stronger than ordinary saints, but if it was just an avatar, even if nurtured with a Blood Treasure, it would merely be comparable to ordinary saints.

Unless...

"Really?"

Golden Feather Demon Saint glanced at Lin Yue indifferently, suddenly turned into a beam of golden light, burst forth like a streak of lightning, charging straight towards Lin Yue.

So fast!

Lin Yue's pupils contracted sharply, and the Flying Spirit Chasing Sun beneath his feet trembled.

He vanished instantly, entering a virtual state, nearly penetrating everything, almost ignoring everything, including light, mana, physical objects...

The electric light passed, instantly traversing.

The figure of Golden Feather Demon Saint appeared ten yards behind Lin Yue.

The next moment, Lin Yue reappeared, his face slightly pale, and his aura somewhat weakened.

Then, it returned to normal immediately.

"To actually inflict damage on me while I was in a virtual state?"

Lin Yue turned his head toward Golden Feather Demon Saint, revealing a surprised expression.

Like drawing a sword to interrupt flowing water which only flows more, under his virtual state, other attacks were like that interrupting sword, theoretically harmless to him.

But it wasn't absolute, otherwise, wouldn't virtualization be invincible?

Once faced with an attack exceeding the limits, virtualization couldn't completely ignore it and could only try to dissolve it as much as possible.

Like theoretically, as long as the speed and power are sufficient, even a waterfall can be interrupted or even reversed.

Golden Feather Demon Saint possessed some profoundly lofty, Heavenly Reversal essence of power between heaven and earth, already exceeding the limits of what virtualization could ignore, hence even though virtualization tried its best to dissolve it, he still sustained some damage.

Of course, with the Recovery Power of Nine Death Selfless Divine Ability, such minor damage was healed in an instant.

"What an intriguing state..."

Golden Feather Demon Saint frowned slightly, "That strike just now was enough to severely injure many saints, yet you only suffered such minor damage?"

Ordinary saints only possessed one or two percent of his actual strength.

And this avatar had three and a half percent of his actual strength, several times stronger than ordinary saints.

A severe injury was definitely no exaggeration.

But the opponent's Semi-Divine Artifact obviously specialized in survival, and combined with terrible Recovery Power, made his attack ineffective.

"This avatar of yours is so powerful, I wonder how many treasures were consumed?"

Lin Yue also frowned and sized up Golden Feather Demon Saint, then said, "Unfortunately, such minor injuries mean nothing to me."

He knew there must be further steps.

Since Golden Feather Demon Saint sent an avatar, it was theoretically possible that his true body could also arrive.

However, as a Heavenly Reversal Demon Saint within the Demon Clan, he would surely be treasured and not sacrificed casually unless absolutely necessary.

"Seventeenth Prince, as a Great Cultivator, it is indeed praiseworthy that you could cause our Demon Clan such concern."

Golden Feather Demon Saint's icy gaze fixed on Lin Yue, and the next moment, as a glow appeared, a magnificent and dazzling golden crown suddenly emerged atop his head.

The crown, made of pure gold, was engraved with various patterns and inlaid with deep and dark pearls, radiating a brilliant and captivating light.

Its aura and pressure were extremely astonishing.

Lin Yue could feel the oppressive force emanating from this crown, not inferior to his Flying Spirit Chasing Sun.

"Demigod artifact?" Lin Yue's expression turned grave.

"If not for a demigod artifact, how else could it pose a threat to Your Highness?"

Golden Feather Demon Saint said indifferently, "Having seen the demigod artifact, will Your Highness not surrender?"

His avatar was already far stronger than typical saints, and with a demigod artifact, the power had surpassed some Heavenly Reversal saints.

With such power, killing the Seventeenth Prince would be easy.

If it weren't for the Demon Clan's goal not being to kill the Seventeenth Prince, he would have acted already.

"...Very well."

Lin Yue took a deep breath and slowly said, "I give up."

Duanmu Yan revealed a hint of joy and immediately said, "Since that is the case, Your Highness, please undergo Harmonization."

Forcing the Prince to Harmonize carried some uncertainties.

Even though in a state of Divine Soul collapse, after Harmonization, he could only exert a fraction of his power, but with a divine artifact and a demigod artifact, it definitely wouldn't be weaker than the current Golden Feather Demon Saint.

It was best if Lin Yue could recognize the situation and give up voluntarily.

Otherwise, there would be more trouble.

"Harmonize?"

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Then I need to consult someone else first."

"Hmm?" Both Duanmu Yan and Golden Feather Demon Saint frowned at him.

The next moment—

Lin Yue suddenly took an item from his bosom and respectfully said, "I respectfully invite my Master to appear!"

Instantly, an immense pressure surged forth.

It was a somewhat ancient-looking broken sword blade.

Such an unassuming broken blade, yet terrifying Sword Intent surged incessantly from it, profound like an endless ocean, infinite Sword Intent spontaneously condensed, and in a blink, a figure formed.
