Chapter 224 A phantom that should not exist in this era
Huang Xi seemed to see through Lin Hanzhou's current predicament of "having a treasure mountain but no way to dig it out".
She raised her hand and waved it downwards, and dozens of phoenix divine flames suddenly rose up!
"ah--!!!"
Inside the main hall, the thirty-odd seventh-level cultivators who had been completely imprisoned were instantly enveloped by the sudden divine fire.
The flames scorched their souls and bodies, causing them to let out piercing screams that echoed throughout the entire palace.
This divine fire was completely different from its previous domineering and unparalleled appearance.
It was kept at an extremely delicate level by Huang Xi with a terrifyingly subtle control.
It could burn their bodies to the maximum extent, torment their souls, and weaken their power to the greatest extent, yet it would also keep them hanging on by a thread until they were on their last breath, just enough to prevent them from being burned to death.
This is the most terrifying punishment fire in the mythical phoenix bloodline—the Yellow Springs Karmic Fire!
......
Seeing this scene that resembled the arrival of hell, the seventh-level experts from the Central Region who were still immersed in grief and indignation on both sides of the hall were stunned for a moment, and then their faces showed endless joy.
"Okay! Okay!"
"Burn them! Burn these damned scum!"
"Lady Huangxi is wise!!"
.......
They were still somewhat confused as to why Lady Huangxi ordered the capture of these remnants alive, instead of allowing them to be killed on the battlefield to avenge their blood feud.
Now they understand.
It turns out that Lady Huangxi wanted to personally use the most cruel divine fire in the world to judge these executioners whose hands were stained with the blood of the living beings of Tianyuan Realm.
Very well, the immense damage these invaders have caused to the Tianyuan Realm cannot be easily offset by their deaths.
The goal is to make them wish they were dead, unable to live or die.
Let them repent for their heinous crimes while tormented by this endless divine fire!
At the same time, Lin Hanzhou made a move.
He held the Soul-Severing Sword in his hand and slowly approached one of the seventh-level cultivators from the Taiyan Holy Land who was struggling and wailing madly as he was burned by the Yellow Springs Karmic Fire.
Under the torment of karmic fire, the cultivator's soul was already extremely fragile, and his consciousness was on the verge of collapse.
With Huang Xi present, they couldn't even manage to self-destruct their divine souls.
Lin Hanzhou remained expressionless and without saying a word, he raised the Soul-Severing Sword in his hand and slashed down at the cultivator's soul essence!
"Pfft!"
There was no earth-shattering sound, only a dull, soft thud, like a dull knife cutting flesh.
Lin Hanzhou forcibly severed a small piece of the seventh-level cultivator's soul.
"ah--!!!"
The man's already mournful wails instantly became even more horrific.
That was the ultimate pain, originating from the forced tearing apart of the very essence of the soul, surpassing all tortures in the world.
Lin Hanzhou remained silent, his face expressionless as he raised the Soul-Severing Sword once more.
Sword after sword was slashed relentlessly at the man's already fragile soul.
It was like the most ruthless executioner, carrying out the most cruel torture of slow slicing.
This person's soul was also severed, piece by piece... and piece by piece...
Huang Xi understood perfectly.
While maintaining the "Yellow Spring Karmic Fire," she also separated a wisp of even purer divine fire and precisely targeted the cultivator who was being "executed" by Lin Hanzhou, further weakening his already weakened soul.
The rest of the people in the Central Region, watching this scene that could be described as "perfect coordination," felt all the resentment and frustration that had accumulated in their hearts for thousands of years vanish in an instant.
"Hahaha! That's great! That's really great!"
Looking at the cultivator's miserable state, Ye Gujue couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"These damned invaders! They stole our land! They plundered our resources! They slaughtered our people! These beasts have finally gotten what they deserved!"
Jiang Wuyai also clenched his fists, his eyes filled with pleasure.
If Huang Xi hadn't been there, many of them would probably have wanted to personally go and torture these invaders, with whom they already had a blood feud!
However, what they didn't know was...
Lin Hanzhou never intended to torture these people.
Given his current predicament, where he cannot mobilize any energy, he can only use this most inefficient method to slowly grind down the souls of these people, one sword at a time.
Don't be fooled by his past achievements; on the battlefield, he could easily kill a seventh-tier opponent with a single sword strike, as if killing a dog.
But in reality, just how terrifying are the vitality and spiritual strength of a seventh-tier powerhouse?!
Lin Hanzhou had already made hundreds of cuts into the other party's soul.
The other person was still clinging to their last breath and had not died completely.
If this were an ordinary sixth-level cultivator, they would have been dead the moment the Soul-Severing Sword struck their soul.
"This seventh-tier health bar is really thick..."
Lin Hanzhou silently complained to himself while speeding up the cutting process.
He doesn't have much time to slowly perform gua sha here.
……
Tianxuan Realm.
The top of that unnamed mountain.
Lin Hanzhou's ninth-tier "future self" stood quietly here, his already illusory figure slowly dissipating.
His gaze swept over the entire Tianxuan Realm, a faint, serene smile appearing on his face as if he had accomplished his mission and was about to retire.
During this period, after shattering the Taiyan Holy Land's ninth-tier treasure, the Taiyan Mirror, he immediately visited the other three super holy lands of the Tianxuan Realm, which were also incredibly profound.
The ninth-tier treasures of these three holy lands were also shattered by his punch.
Thus, he had personally broken all four pillars that supported the entire Tianxuan Realm, forming a tripod-like structure.
In this way, these four super powers will no longer have a basis for their existence in the world!
Without the suppression and protection of the ninth-tier treasure, their once stable rule will face endless challenges from other forces in the years to come.
The entire landscape of the Tianxuan Realm will undergo a tremendous and earth-shattering change as a result.
Given his current condition, this is all he can do.
He must abide by the rules of the long river of time.
He was ultimately just a "smuggler" from the future, a phantom that should not have existed in this era.
He cannot drastically alter the course of world history.
Even more so, one must not personally kill those holy land lords.
Otherwise, this would trigger an unimaginable time paradox, leading to the complete collapse of the entire timeline.
All he could do was create a tiny ripple, like a pebble thrown into a lake.
And this ripple will eventually return to calm.
Not long after, his future self completely vanished from this place, from this world where he should not have been born.
