Oh no! My grandmother made me shoulder the responsibility for eight households!

Chapter 520 Lin Chen Makes a Move

Just as Yan Ruyu put the pill into her mouth.

A hand reached out from the void, two fingers pinching the pill.

Her fingers were fair and slender, with distinct knuckles, and were clean and neat.

The void cracked open, and Lin Chen walked out from within.

He wore a long, pale white robe, his hair was casually tied up, and his complexion was not good.

He looked down at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu looked up at him.

Neither of them spoke.

Lin Chen put the pill back into the porcelain bottle and tucked it into his pocket.

"I'll keep this for you. Remember, your life is mine now."

Yan Ruyu's eyes instantly reddened, as if she were a wife who had been bullied outside seeing her husband.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, then turned to look at the extraterrestrial creatures.

A dozen or so Celestial Immortals and hundreds of Human Immortals densely packed together, completely surrounding Hehuan Valley.

They sensed Lin Chen's presence and instinctively stopped in their tracks.

Lin Chen sneered, raised his hand and casually waved it, a golden light flying out from his fingertips.

It's not big, only as thick as a finger.

But it was dazzlingly bright, as bright as the sun.

Golden light exploded in the sky above Hehuan Valley.

It transformed into countless tiny golden threads of light, as dense as raindrops.

Each beam of light was precisely aimed at a creature from beyond the realm.

It goes in through their heads and comes out through their tails.

There was no sound, no screams, no struggle.

Dozens of celestial beings and hundreds of human immortals from beyond the realm were all killed in an instant.

Their bodies remained frozen in place, maintaining the posture they had in life.

Then, they fell down at the same time.

"boom--"

Hundreds of corpses crashed to the ground at the same time, causing the ground to shake.

Black blood flowed from their wounds, forming small streams.

The Valley of Joyful Blossoms was quiet, so quiet that you could hear the wind rustling through the petals.

Lin Chen raised his hand again and drew a few strokes in the air.

A golden light pattern formed at his fingertips, as intricate as a magic array, with densely interwoven lines.

Lin Chen gave a gentle push, and the light patterns drifted towards the sky above Hehuan Valley, disappeared into the void.

This is a divine ability that Lin Chen has just refined; it can withstand one attack from a Saint Venerable.

Yan Ruyu stared at the disappearing light pattern, opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Lin Chen withdrew his hand, patted off non-existent dust from his robes, and turned to look at Yan Ruyu.

"Take good care of your injury and don't try to kill yourself all the time. You're not at that point yet."

Yan Ruyu nodded, her lips moved as if she wanted to say "thank you," but she swallowed the words back.

Lin Chen glanced at Mei Jiu Niang and Liu Yu, nodded slightly, and then tore through space again and went inside.

The crack closed behind him, like a zipper being pulled up.

Yan Ruyu stood there, staring at the closing crack for a long time.

Then she lowered her head and smiled.

As I laughed, tears started falling.

Mei Jiu Niang and Liu Yu had different expressions, but both had a flushed blush on their faces.

Only Zhao Ming felt a slight bitterness at the corner of his mouth.

-

Above Tianyuan City.

The void cracked open, and Lin Chen stepped out from the crack.

Looking around, the protective array's light shield was so dim it was almost transparent.

Corpses lay scattered haphazardly on the city wall, some belonging to extraterrestrial creatures, others to cultivators from Tianyuan City.

Some were still bleeding, while others had already bled to death. The blood flowed down the city wall, pooling at its base.

Zhang Yiyuan stood on the city wall, his Tianyuan Sword planted on the ground, his hand on the hilt, his body covered in blood, some of his own and some of the monster's.

The five celestial elders stood behind him, their situation no better, but they all stood ramrod straight, none of them bending over or backing away.

Of the thirty-six city guards, fewer than twenty remained.

The rest were lying on the ground, some still breathing, others already cold.

The people in the city hid in their homes, peering out through the cracks in their windows, their faces filled with fear.

In mid-air, the six-eyed True Monarch-level extraterrestrial creature hovered above the city's protective array.

Six eyes stared at all the cultivators in Tianyuan City, their mouths agape, their smiles like those of villains in a horror movie.

It hasn't made a move yet because it hasn't encountered anything that interests it.

But seeing the city stubbornly withstand its subordinates' siege for so long, it grew somewhat impatient.

Five snow-white fingers spread out, each as thick as a water bucket.

A pale blue sphere of light condensed at his fingertips, crackling and buzzing with electricity, like a miniature version of a lightning star.

It raised its hand above its head, with its five fingers together.

The light sphere coalesced into a giant blue sphere, which crashed down on Tianyuan City.

"boom--"

The ball of light slammed into the city's protective array, causing it to tremble violently before exploding outwards from its center.

The entire city of Tianyuan was shaking; houses swayed, tiles fell, and the bluestone slabs on the ground cracked.

Zhang Yiyuan, standing on the city tower, swayed and almost lost his footing. The Tianyuan Sword was planted on the ground, its blade humming, and a few more cracks appeared.

The five celestial elders simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The blood splattered on the array's core was absorbed by the array and transformed into the last bit of light on the light shield.

Some people knelt down, some people lay down, but they still stubbornly continued to infuse spiritual energy, without letting go.

The True Monarch-level creature's mouth stretched even wider, almost reaching its ears, resembling a slit-mouthed woman.

He clasped his hands together again, condensing them into an even larger blue sphere of light.

This time, it will crush the city along with those stubborn monks.

Then, a giant hand appeared and gripped its crown.

Her fingers were long, slender, fair, with distinct knuckles, and clean.

The six eyes of that True Monarch-level creature looked upwards simultaneously.

It saw a young face and a pair of calm eyes.

At this moment, Lin Chen closed his five fingers together.

"Click—"

The head of that True Monarch-level creature exploded in his palm.

Like a crushed egg, "smash!" white and blue particles flew all over the ground.

White scales shattered, blue blood splattered, all six eyes went out simultaneously, and the eerie blue light dissipated into the air.

Its body remained frozen in place, its hands clasped together.

The enormous blue sphere of light, which had not yet fully formed, dissipated with a "poof".

Then it fell from mid-air and crashed with a "boom" into the wilderness outside Tianyuan City, creating a large crater that shook the earth.

Lin Chen withdrew the giant hand formed from his true essence and glanced indifferently at the city tower.

Zhang Yiyuan stood there, stunned.

The five celestial elders stood there, stunned.

The surviving monks on the city wall stood frozen in place.

They thought they were all going to die, but to their surprise, Lin Chen reached out and crushed the terrifying beast as easily as crushing an ant.

Zhang Yiyuan was the first to react, clasping his hands in a respectful greeting, his voice trembling:

"Young Master Lin's great kindness will never be forgotten by Tianyuan City."

Lin Chen waved his hand and landed in front of Zhang Yiyuan. "City Lord Zhang, I have a favor to ask you."

Zhang Yiyuan quickly cupped his hands in greeting: "Please speak, sir. I will go through fire and water for you."

Lin Chen looked at the crack in the sky that stretched for thousands of miles, from which dark red light surged out, like a blood spring that would never dry up, dyeing the entire sky red.

The crack was still widening, tearing outwards inch by inch, like tearing open a package.

"Seven days from now, I will seal the extraterrestrial passage. But it can only be sealed for a maximum of one year."

"You should issue a public notice to the world, inviting representatives from all major powers to Tianyuan City to discuss what to do a year from now."

Zhang Yiyuan was stunned.

Seal off extraterritorial passages?

He had never thought of such a thing.

That wasn't a natural disaster or a calamity; it was an extraterrestrial passage, a once-in-ten-thousand-year catastrophe for the Tianyuan Continent.

We could only endure it and wait for the will of heaven and earth to repair it automatically; no one ever thought of sealing it off.

Zhang Yiyuan took a deep breath. "I will take care of it right away. Within seven days, the representatives of all the major forces will definitely be here."

Lin Chen nodded, took a step, and disappeared into the void.

Zhang Yiyuan stared at the spot where Lin Chen had disappeared for a long time before slowly saying:

"Announce to the world that a meeting will be held in Tianyuan City in seven days."
