Chapter 347: Chapter 347: The 6 Great Supreme Elders Assemble

Seeing Little Ape under the protection of a Supreme Elder, Lin Yun finally felt at ease. Now, he had to focus all his efforts on dealing with this Celestial Punishment.

This Celestial Punishment was on a completely different level from the last. Not only because Lin Yun was breaking through to the Primordial Ocean Realm, but, more terrifyingly, he had advanced six layers at once.

The Celestial Punishment gradually took form. The black clouds above the courtyard grew ever denser, their sheer thickness exuding an immense pressure, as if the heavens themselves were about to come crashing down.

Just then, five figures appeared in the sky above the courtyard—four men and one woman. All five were venerable, ancient-looking elders.

”A Celestial Punishment... Hmm... Sixth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm. Little fellow, could you have been the one to trigger this?” one of the elders asked, looking at Lin Yun after the five had arrived.

Judging by the auras emanating from the five elders who had appeared in an instant, Lin Yun guessed they must be the Supreme Elders of the Flawless Palace.

The Flawless Palace had a total of six Supreme Elders. ’I can’t believe they’re all here.’ The reason for their collective appearance was Lin Yun, who was at the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Ocean Realm—or, to be more precise, the Celestial Punishment he had summoned.

Hearing the elder’s question, the Supreme Elder responsible for guarding Demon Beast Ridge said calmly, ”Now is not the time for questions. We must first seal this area to prevent the fallout from spreading.”

Upon hearing this, all six nodded. The Six Supreme Elders immediately moved to six different positions, completely sealing off a hundred-li radius around the courtyard.

The six of them used their Elemental Power to construct a massive protective barrier, trapping the Celestial Punishment securely inside to prevent it from affecting any other part of the Flawless Palace.

The terrifying Celestial Punishment raged wantonly inside the enormous barrier. By now, it wasn’t just the Six Supreme Elders; Main Seat Elders and many Disciples throughout the Flawless Palace were all looking toward Lin Yun’s location.

”My heavens, what is that...?” some of the Disciples, who had never witnessed a Celestial Punishment before, muttered in terror.

Like the other Main Seat Elders, Puzhu gazed in the direction of the phenomenon. Having experienced a Celestial Punishment himself, he knew this one could not have been triggered by the breakthrough of a Main Seat Elder or Supreme Elder.

If it wasn’t one of them, then... Puzhu’s first thought was of Lin Yun. He muttered to himself, ’Could it be that kid?’

”Master, are you going to go take a look?” Standing beside Puzhu, Lu Bingning and the other young woman stared in terror toward the Celestial Punishment, asking him if he should go closer.

Hearing this, Puzhu gave a small, meaningful smile. ”It would be useless for me to go; the Six Supreme Elders are already there. But rest assured, after this is over, you two might be able to see that rascal Lin Yun very soon.”

”Really?” Lu Bingning and her companion asked excitedly. Compared to the Celestial Punishment, they were far more concerned about seeing Lin Yun.

Puzhu just smiled without replying, his gaze fixed on the Celestial Punishment, an enigmatic expression on his face.

Throughout the Flawless Palace, everyone from the Disciples to the Main Seat Elders had their eyes fixed on the location of the Celestial Punishment. The protective barrier constructed by the Six Supreme Elders was now complete.

Formed by the combined power of six Spirit Realm experts, the barrier was strong enough to withstand the aftershocks of the Celestial Punishment and prevent any damage to the rest of the Flawless Palace.

”What happens next will depend on the boy’s own fortune,” said the sole elderly woman among them. As she spoke, a hint of fondness appeared in her eyes. It looked as though she was considering taking him as her disciple.

”Don’t tell me you’re thinking of taking him as your disciple? I think this boy would be far better off under my guidance,” another Supreme Elder chimed in, seeing her expression.

”Enough. This is not the time to be arguing over this. Let’s see him through the Celestial Punishment first,” a stern-faced Supreme Elder interjected, cutting off their bickering. This was the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, the Supreme Elder who presided over it.

The six Supreme Elders seemed quite relaxed in the face of Lin Yun’s Celestial Punishment. This was only natural; as Spirit Realm experts, his trial was nothing to be feared in their eyes, and utterly incomparable to the tribulations they themselves had faced.

However, Lin Yun’s Celestial Punishment had descended while he was still in the Primordial Ocean Realm. One could see it as a penalty from the heavens, or as a trial.

This was what truly shocked the six of them. Lin Yun’s Celestial Punishment had arrived far too early. Facing it in the Primordial Ocean Realm was an event that, while not entirely unprecedented in the history of the Eastern Domain, had happened only a handful of times.

Furthermore, every single person who had ever endured a Celestial Punishment at the Primordial Ocean Realm had gone on to become a Great Power. Not even the current Five Great Demon Fiends of the Eastern Domain had faced such a trial at that stage.

While the six of them conversed, the Celestial Punishment above Lin Yun finished forming. The distinct roar of Celestial Thunder echoed without end, and brilliant flashes of lightning arced through the rift in the dark clouds.

Staring intently at the Celestial Punishment overhead, Lin Yun knew it was about to strike.

”Little brat, swallow this elixir!” Just as the Celestial Punishment was about to descend, the Supreme Elder guarding Demon Beast Ridge tossed an elixir to Lin Yun.

The elixir was only the size of a fingertip, but it exuded an incredibly rich medicinal fragrance. Even without swallowing it, Lin Yun could feel a wave of medicinal power far purer than that of a Spring Breeze Soft Rain Pill.

He didn’t know what elixir it was, but now was not the time to dwell on it. He caught it and swallowed it in one gulp. The very moment the elixir went down, the Celestial Punishment finally struck.

A bolt of Celestial Thunder, over ten meters thick, instantly shot out from the rift and came crashing down on Lin Yun’s head.

Drawing his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun didn’t dare show the slightest bit of carelessness. Having experienced it once before, he knew to take the Celestial Punishment with the utmost seriousness. He was keenly aware of its might—one wrong move, and he would be utterly annihilated, body and soul.

”Dual Dragon World Destruction!” He immediately unleashed his strongest technique. Having broken through six consecutive layers, the power of his Dual Dragon World Destruction was now more than twice as strong as before.

After channeling his power for a dozen breaths, two Dragon Shadows erupted from the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. A hundred meters long and over ten meters thick, they looked incredibly domineering.

”This kid... His strength is truly extraordinary,” one of the Supreme Elders commented, watching Lin Yun unleash the ferocious strike.

The two Dragon Shadows, one purple and one red, let out resounding roars as they violently collided with the bolt of Celestial Thunder descending from the sky.

As Lin Yun unleashed his Dual Dragon World Destruction now, the Dragon Shadows appeared with unceasing roars, already beginning to take on the true form of Divine Dragons. They were far more majestic and imposing than ever before.

The Dragon Shadows and the Celestial Thunder crashed into each other, the two powers clashing wildly in the sky above Lin Yun. The resulting shockwave sent his hair and clothes whipping about. Gripping his Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun stared unflinchingly at the thunder above, his eyes filled with resolve and surging Battle Intent.
