Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique

Chapter 956 7th Ancestor

"When did I stop you? I clearly told you to reinforce the seal on Watchtower No. 3, so that if Lin Yan makes a mistake later, Watchtower No. 3 won't be breached by the monsters!"

Qin Hai immediately offered a righteous and stern explanation.

"Lin Yan, you must understand my good intentions. As the warlord, I bear the weight of countless cultivators' lives on my shoulders. I must be responsible for everyone's actions!"

At this moment, Qin Hai adopted a very humble posture and placed himself above "righteousness," so that if Lin Yan wanted to kill him, he would be going against the will of the world.

"Commander Qin, since you care so much about the big picture, why don't I send you out to hunt down a few more monsters? That would be a contribution to the watchtower."

Lin Yan reached out and grabbed at Qin Hai.

"No! You can't do this! Lin Yan, I'm the warlord, responsible for controlling the battle. How can I rush to the front lines? Put me down!"

Qin Hai struggled desperately.

But Lin Yan's current strength is already enough to kill a Dou Ling level 8 cultivator, so how could Qin Hai possibly resist? Qin Hai was like an ant, held in Lin Yan's hand and then thrown out of Watchtower No. 3.

At this moment, outside the watchtower, the situation was extremely chaotic due to the fall of the three beast kings, and the group was leaderless.

Qin Hai was thrown into the horde of demonic beasts. How could those beasts distinguish the relationship between Lin Yan and Qin Hai? They only knew that Qin Hai was a human, and a human with considerable cultivation at that. In their eyes, all humans deserved to die.

Therefore, countless demonic beasts rushed madly towards Qin Hai.

"Ah! You damned little beast!"

Qin Hai roared, his cultivation erupting wildly. At the seventh level of the Battle Spirit Realm, he was like a small sun, illuminating the dim ancient battlefield.

As soon as the numerous demonic beasts approached, they were all annihilated by Qin Hai.

However, the monsters in the beast tide were endless. Before Qin Hai could even catch his breath, a massive number of monsters rushed up again, including many monsters at the Dou Ling realm.

These individual monsters might be far weaker than Qin Hai, but their sheer number made them unstoppable. Under their fearless onslaught, Qin Hai was quickly overwhelmed and his body was torn apart by the countless monsters that pounced on him.

"what!"

A series of piercing screams rang out, echoing through several nearby watchtowers.

The cultivators watching the battle all felt a chill run down their spines, their hearts filled with lingering fear: "This Lin Yan is truly a ruthless character! A dignified warlord was actually dealt with to this extent!"

Qin Hai was not only the military governor, but also the supreme elder of the Qin clan, holding a high position that even the Douling family dared not easily offend.

But now he is being toyed with by Lin Yan and is living a life worse than death.

Some cultivators who had offended Lin Yan in the past were terrified, fearing that they too would be targeted by Lin Yan.

Qin Hai was, after all, a powerful human. Although his physical body was torn apart, his remnant soul escaped and tried to rush back to Watchtower No. 3.

However, Lin Yan slapped him back, and he was once again trapped in the horde of monsters.

"Lin Yan, you're despicable! If you have the guts, just kill me! What kind of torture is this?!"

Qin Hai roared.

"How can this be considered torture? I'm just asking you to fulfill the duties of a warlord. As a warlord, shouldn't you be hunting monsters?"

Lin Yan sneered.

"You hypocritical bastard! Ah!"

Qin Hai's screams grew weaker and weaker until they finally fell silent.

Only then did Lin Yan make his move. He slapped his palm, and a golden palm print was unleashed, annihilating all living beings in that area, including the demon race giants at the high-level Dou Ling realm, who were instantly killed.

"What a pity. I was hoping you could hold on a little longer so I could save you. Qin Hai, you've sacrificed yourself for the public good. I'll apply to the Void Alliance for a martyr's allowance for you."

Lin Yan smiled.

The cultivators inside Watchtower No. 3 exchanged bewildered glances. Qin Hai had clearly been killed by Lin Yan, yet Lin Yan acted as if this had nothing to do with him at all.

But they didn't dare say anything more.

Because they don't want to become the second Qin Hai.

"Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique!"

Lin Yan opened his mouth and inhaled, and the essence blood of those demonic beasts was absorbed, turning into pure power that flowed into the bronze cauldron to nourish the Primordial Dragon Emperor Sword.

In addition, Qin Hai's storage ring was well preserved.

Lin Yan took the storage ring.

The surface of this storage ring has a faint seal: "Huh? This seal doesn't seem to have been set by Qin Hai. The seal must have been left by someone at least at the ninth level of the Dou Ling Realm?"

"Could it be that he left something valuable in that storage ring?"

Lin Yan looked curious.

This seal was no challenge for him at all; Lin Yan easily erased the spiritual seal.

hum!

A powerful aura burst forth from the storage ring, transforming into the phantom of an old man shrouded in black mist. His appearance immediately darkened the sky near Watchtower No. 3.

It's like the end of the world.

"What a terrifying aura!"

All the cultivators inside Watchtower No. 3 trembled with fear, and even the powerful figures in other nearby watchtowers felt a sense of oppression.

"You dared to kill my Qin clan's Grand Elder! This is a grave mistake! Surrender now and come to my Qin clan to plead guilty, and your punishment will be lessened!"

The old man in the black mist had a hoarse voice, which carried an air of superior indifference, as if he were a god looking down upon all the heavens.

His body was surrounded by the convergence of all Dao, and all Dao resonated in unison, his voice as loud and clear as a great bell, deafening and awakening.

Even the warlord at the seventh level of the Douling realm trembled and couldn't help but kneel down. The old man in the black mist had too much aura, far surpassing even ordinary ninth-level Douling realm warriors.

Even the residual power of a mere wisp of remnant energy is enough to terrify an ordinary Dou Ling Realm cultivator.

But this display of force did not intimidate Lin Yan.

He was someone who had snatched food from the jaws of a ninth-level Dou Ling cultivator, let alone a mere afterimage. He directly refined the afterimage: "A mere remnant soul dares to cause trouble! Destroy it!"

"Young Master Lin, you've really gotten yourself into a huge mess!"

The warlord stationed at Watchtower No. 3 suddenly changed his expression and his voice trembled, because he recognized the old man's afterimage as the ancestor of Qin Hai's lineage!

This ancestor reached the ninth level of the Dou Ling Realm a million years ago. Now his strength is unfathomable, and he can definitely be called one of the most terrifying existences in the Void Starfield.

"Yes, Young Master Lin, you have erased the lingering will of that Qin clan ancestor. The other party must have noticed it, and I'm afraid it won't be long before they come looking for trouble for you."

Some of the veterans at Watchtower No. 3 were also worried that if it were peacetime, even if Lin Yan offended the other party, the other party wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Because these ancient monsters are in a deep slumber for many years, and may not wake up even once every 100,000 years.

However, the void star field is currently in turmoil, and the opponent has most likely awakened and may descend upon the star sea battlefield in their true form at any time.

"It's alright, I've already eliminated him. If the Qin clan patriarch really wants to cause trouble, let him come!"

Lin Yan smiled lightly.

Meanwhile, in the ancestral homeland of the Qin clan in the starry sky.

"Damn it!"

From within an ancient mountain range, a terrifying roar erupted, nearly shattering the sun and moon above the Qin Clan continent—a truly horrifying sight.

"What's going on? Why is the Seventh Ancestor so furious?!"

On the Qin Clan Continent, countless cultivators trembled with fear. Even the high-ranking members of the Dou Ling Realm were alarmed and gathered near the ancestral land.

"Ancestor, what exactly happened?"

A middle-aged man at the seventh level of the Douling realm clasped his hands in greeting. He was the current patriarch of the Qin clan, responsible for managing the clan's affairs on a daily basis.

The Seventh Patriarch offered no explanation, but instead coldly issued a command: "Prepare a coffin for my reincarnation; I am leaving seclusion!"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged patriarch dared not disobey. Although he was at the seventh level of the Battle Spirit Realm, in terms of both strength and seniority, he was just a junior in front of this Seventh Ancestor.

When the Seventh Patriarch attained enlightenment, his great-grandfather was still just a minor cultivator!

"You damned little beast, how dare you wipe out my entire lineage! And you even erased the illusory soul I left behind! If I don't tear you to pieces, I swear I'm not human!"

Below the ancestral land, the seven ancestors' eyes were cold and sinister, almost freezing the space around them.
