At that moment, Lin Chen's body seemed like a vast vortex, ceaselessly absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Energy into himself.

"This guy actually advanced," Zhou Ci's face first showed a hint of astonishment, and then a cold smile crossed his lips.

After colliding with Zhou Ci, Lin Chen had actually advanced to the Innate Realm; this kid was truly a monster.

However, advancement required a period of entering an enlightened state, meaning Lin Chen was completely defenseless at the moment.

"Tsk tsk, heaven is truly helping me. Kid, you choose to advance at this time; even the heavens are aiding me, you deserve to die," a murderous intent flashed wildly in Zhou Ci's eyes.

Many in the audience noticed the strange transformation occurring in Lin Chen.

"Damn it! Why did this guy have to advance at this time?" Zhao Xiaohua and the others all tensed up and rushed quickly towards the stage.

But the distance was too far, and at this moment, Zhou Ci pounced on Lin Chen like a bolt of lightning.

"Lin Chen!"

"Master!"

Zhao Xiaohua and the Black Demon and the others' faces suddenly turned ugly, as Lin Chen was now as defenceless as a fish on a chopping board to Zhou Ci's slaughter.

In the VIP seats, family heads and elders from the martial world watching this scene also became somewhat angry; to launch a surprise attack on someone during their enlightenment was the act of a scoundrel.

"Lin Chen, die!"

Just as Zhou Ci's ice blade was about to stab Lin Chen's throat, suddenly a dark shadow burst forth from the jade medallion on Lin Chen's body.

The shadow, like a bolt of lightning, extended a dark spiritual claw and slammed towards Zhou Ci's heart.

"Damn it! What is this thing?" Zhou Ci's face suddenly changed, and he shot back.

"This is!"

"Spirit control skill!"

Shocked exclamations were heard again from the VIP seats, and the faces of the family heads also turned strange.

It was already extremely remarkable for an ordinary person to possess one special ability, yet Lin Chen had already demonstrated three: fire ability, Formation, and spirit control.

This guy was simply a monster, everyone almost simultaneously thought of this descriptor.

Zhou Ci's expression turned cold as he stared intently at Wu Feng's Soul Body that had suddenly appeared.

"You dare to ruin my plans, you wild ghost," the cold light surged in Zhou Ci's eyes.

Wu Feng let out a cold laugh: "Taking advantage of someone's enlightenment to launch a sneak attack, you truly have no shame."

"Ignorant thing, today I will reduce you to ashes!" As the words fell, Zhou Ci charged again towards Wu Feng's Soul Body.

He knew that if Lin Chen awoke from his enlightenment, it would definitely be his own death, thus he had to kill Lin Chen before the awakening.

Therefore, Zhou Ci, crazed, pounced towards Wu Feng and Lin Chen once more.

Although Zhou Ci suffered many internal injuries, after all, Wu Feng was just a Soul Body; within a few exchanges, he was knocked dozens of meters away with a palm strike from Zhou Ci.

The next instant, Zhou Ci swung his palm again towards Lin Chen's face.

But just as his palm was about to land on Lin Chen's face, his foot suddenly halted.

Zhou Ci looked down, his face suddenly turning cold.

Wu Feng had charged over again and was firmly gripping Zhou Ci's ankle.

"You relentless thing, I'll crush you to pieces," Zhou Ci declared, then swung his hand down, actually squeezing Wu Feng's Soul Body on the ground into his palm.

A trace of a bitter smile crossed Wu Feng's lips: "Lin Chen, this is as far as I can help you."

Bang!

Accompanying a loud noise, Wu Feng's Soul Body suddenly shattered.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Chen's eyes snapped open and caught the scene.

"Brother Wu!" Lin Chen's expression turned immediately, icy cold to the extreme.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaohua had already rushed onto the stage, stretching out her hand and tearing off her cloak.

"Soul Gathering Technique!"

Zhao Xiaohua's hand seals changed, and all the shattered soul fragments were absorbed into her cloak.

At this point, Lin Chen's gaze was filled with lethal intent as he stared daggers at Zhou Ci, "You deserve to die!"

Zhou Ci felt the pressure from Lin Chen's aura and instantly his face went pale.

Although he was also in the Innate Realm, his strength was artificially boosted by pills, while Lin Chen's was genuinely achieved, making Zhou Ci feel inferior in their presence.

"You think just because we're both from the Innate Realm you can kill me? Dream on!" Zhou Ci's face contorted viciously as he threw a punch at Lin Chen like a bolt of lightning.

"Zhou Ci, today I will show you what the real Innate Realm is." As Zhou Ci's punch came at him, Lin Chen did not dodge or evade but slowly raised his palm and firmly grasped Zhou Ci's fist.

"The next instant!" Flames surged in Lin Chen's palm.

"Ah!" Accompanied by a scream, Zhou Ci's right arm was engulfed by the Purple Flame Golden Fire, instantly turning to ash.

"My arm!" Zhou Ci went ashen-faced, staggering back several steps and staring at Lin Chen in shock.

"How can he be so strong!" The power differential Zhou Ci just felt from Lin Chen was one of overwhelming superiority.

In front of Lin Chen, he had no power to resist; he was utterly crushed by Lin Chen.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

With a grim face, Lin Chen stepped towards Zhou Ci, "Do you really think you're in the Innate Realm just because you took the Blood Coagulation Pill His Highness gave you? That thing is made with human blood, though it greatly increases your strength, you're just a fake Innate Realm, you've been fooled."

"Impossible, impossible!" Zhou Ci's face turned savage as blood burst from his severed right arm, transforming into a blood spear.

"Don't speak nonsense, I am an Innate Realm expert, and you will die!" Now completely mad, Zhou Ci, left-handed, thrust the blood spear towards Lin Chen.

"Obstinate fool!" Lin Chen snorted coldly, extending his palm.

Before Lin Chen's Purple Flame Golden Fire, that blood spear turned into droplets of blood. The next moment, Lin Chen once again grabbed Zhou Ci's left arm.

"Your hands have caused the deaths of so many innocents; today, I will be the hand of justice and disable them," Lin Chen said coldly as the fierce flames in his palm surged, Zhou Ci's left arm dissolving into nothingness.

Boom! The entire audience went silent.

Was this the terrifying strength of an Innate Realm powerhouse that Lin Chen displayed?

Everyone looked at Lin Chen with expressions of shock, envy, and wariness on their faces.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Zhou Ci, now devoid of both arms, howled in agony. All his prior arrogance as a strong figure had vanished, replaced by terror and desperation.

"Just now, you crushed my brother's soul; so your whole body will serve as compensation," Lin Chen's voice was cold, arrogant, bloodthirsty.

Zhou Ci shook all over, and as Lin Chen approached him, he surprisingly fell to his knees.

"Please, I beg you, spare me, I don't want to die." Zhou Ci trembled, and an unpleasant smell began emanating from between his legs.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

Lin Chen walked step by step toward Zhou Ci and placed his hand on Zhou Ci's crown.

"You've even lost the pride of being a strong man; what's the point of living in this world? Go to hell!"

"No!"

Accompanied by a howl, Zhou Ci's body instantly turned to nothingness!

Dead, the once great Tian Jiao, Zhou Ci, had been turned to ash by Lin Chen, leaving the entire audience in a stunned silence, engulfed in dead silence!
