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

In that instant, thunder roared and flames spiraled as he transformed into a stream of light so fast it was terrifying, appearing right in front of the azure rainbow like an Instant Teleportation, simultaneously slashing with his blade!

"Die!"

The azure rainbow, transformed by the Phoenix Crown, intelligently contracted and hurled out the Twelfth Prince who was encapsulated within!

"Boom!"

The blade light instantly turned into an infinite river of stars, cleaving towards the Twelfth Prince.

At this moment, the Twelfth Prince was still in shock. In that instant, his eyes, filled with murderous intent, locked with Lin Yue's icy cold gaze.

"Monster..."

This thought flashed through his mind.

Although he was wrapped by the azure rainbow transformed by the Phoenix Crown, he had used his Divine Thought to clearly perceive the blade strike Lin Yue had made just now.

He had originally thought that the Bone Demon Lord would easily capture this seventeenth brother, even if it forced him to perform Harmonization against his will, ruining his future prospects, that would have been enough.

But he hadn't expected...

Just one blade strike, this seventeenth brother, merely a Great Cultivator, had slain the Bone Demon Lord!

Any figure who defied the heavens to become a Saint was extraordinary, even he himself, unless he utilized the Ancient Divine Power, could not possibly achieve this!

When exactly had this happen... This seventeenth brother, who was still extremely weak just a decade ago, someone he could have killed with a mere thought, had now become so powerful that even he felt frightened?

At this moment, he suddenly realized, seeing Lin Yue holding the trembling blade earlier, he had thought it was fear, but now it seemed, it was probably excitement!

"...The Ultimate Path?"

Apart from this, the Twelfth Prince could think of no other possibility.

Only the Ultimate Path, which existed in myth and legend, could account for such an absurd situation in the world!

Other Great Cultivators, if they could engage in combat with a normal Saint's avatar, would already be worthy of worldwide praise and astonishment.

And to annihilate a Saint defying the heavens in one strike, what kind of monster was this?

The river of blade-starlight surged terrifyingly, causing even the Twelfth Prince to tremble.

He had never thought that a Great Cultivator could make him feel fear.

Moreover, he had clearly administered sixteen types of Heart Poison, so why did Lin Yue, who lacked cultivation of the heart, still seem unaffected?

"This is the last chance, if I can't kill him, even if I escape today, I am surely doomed in the future..."

Facing the terrifying river of blade-starlight, the Twelfth Prince instead closed his eyes.

The vast blade light swept down from the sky like a dragon devouring the stars, instantly engulfing the shape of the Twelfth Prince.

"Boom!"

Terrifying power suddenly erupted, a dreadful oppressive force that made the heavens and the earth tremble spread out, and in the midst of the blade light star river, a nearly sacred pure white light appeared.

The Infinite Blade Light attempted to annihilate the Twelfth Prince but couldn't even get close to the pure white light.

Or rather, as the blade light neared, it was dissolved by the pure white light, just like snow encountering raging flames.

"Is this... the Ancient Divine Power?"

Lin Yue squinted his eyes, "The power of the 'Emperor Tribulation' from ancient divine legend?"

Although his knowledge of the Ancient Gods was limited, he knew some.

Emperor Tribulation, among the twenty-four Core Inheritance Altars in the Beiyuan Mountain Inheritance Land, is one of their names.

Those twenty-four altars correspond to twenty-four types of Ancient Divine Powers, perhaps not exactly twenty-four gods, but each altar represents one type of Ancient Divine Power.

Emperor Tribulation, in the myths of Ancient Times, ruled the calamities of the heavens and was the deity of destruction and death.

The Twelfth Prince's Poison Skill had reached the point of annihilating everything, also somewhat similar to Emperor Tribulation, hence the Ancient Divine Power he controlled was the Emperor Tribulation Power!

At this moment, under the bursting forth of Emperor Tribulation Power, his Infinite Blade Light was significantly dissolved, unable to get close.

Logically speaking, blade light isn't material, so how could it be dissolved?

But in the presence of Emperor Tribulation Power, this unbelievable scenario just occurred.

"With the Ancient Divine Power bursting forth, it's indeed stronger than a Divine Artifact, no... I'm simply not able to wield the true power of the Divine Artifact..."

Lin Yue thought as he withdrew his blade, his form vanished and moved, instantly creating distance.

The Emperor Tribulation Power could dissolve everything in the world, and he didn't want to get caught in it.

At this moment, the azure rainbow transformed by the Phoenix Crown landed on his shoulder, but its aura had also become faint.

Just now, the Phoenix Crown had penetrated the Eight Desolate Giant God Formation in an overloaded state.

Although the Phoenix Crown was particularly adept at penetration and was quite restrained by formations, the Eight Desolate Giant God Formation was a powerful formation that even those Proving themselves had to attack fiercely to break through, even if the Phoenix Crown only made a small hole, it was unbelievable.

Actually, if the Phoenix Crown hadn't consumed the Dream Snake Essence and used it to forcibly enhance its power, it couldn't have achieved this.

Therefore, he dares to plan this out.

However, the cost was that the Phoenix Crown had also become much weaker.

"Hm?"

At this moment, Lin Yue suddenly received a thread of thought from the Phoenix Crown, causing him to glance at the Twelfth Prince's right hand and raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Seventeenth brother."

The pure white light on the Twelfth Prince's body slowly retracted, the Emperor Tribulation Power temporarily contained.

As long as it did not burst forth, the Ancient Divine Power would not be consumed.

"You and I, must we truly fight to the death?"
