"Hahaha! Now what?" Scarlet Soul Emperor laughed wildly as he looked at Yun Lintian with a hideous expression. For once in his life got scared by a mortal. This made him unacceptable, and he couldn't wait to tear Yun Lintian apart to relieve this shame.
"Big Brother Yun!" Linlin was shocked and hurriedly came to Yun Lintian's side.
At this moment, Yun Lintian felt his entire body become rigid, and his vision started to blur. The consequence of power overdraft was severe. He didn't have any profound energy left in his body anymore.
"Honestly, I have to admit you had me scared for a moment." Scarlet Soul Emperor stabilized himself and slowly floated toward Yun Lintian. "Unfortunately, this is truly a meaningless struggle in the end. Perhaps if you came here two or three years later, I might not be your opponent."
Linlin was furious. She turned to Scarlet Soul Emperor, and her eyes immediately lit up with golden lightning sparks. "I'll kill you!"
As her voice fell, Linlin's White Tiger God's Origin Blood started to burn madly. Thick and dense lightning energy erupted like a raging volcano. It stormed toward Scarlet Soul Emperor and completely engulfed him in a single instant.

"Burning Origin Blood? It's a good idea, but your current strength is too weak. Heh, you should blame your mother who planted that seal on you in order to let you grow along with the Beyond Heaven King's successor." Scarlet Soul Emperor said with icy contempt and mockery.
Linlin coughed up blood and directly slumped to the ground powerlessly. Her huge body gradually shrank and reduced into her miniature form.
"Linlin…" Yun Lintian's eyes turned bloodshot. He reached out his hand to grab Linlin, trying to pull her close to him, but he simply did not have the strength left.
"What are you waiting for!?" Hongyue's voice echoed in Yun Lintian's mind. He gritted his teeth and used the last bit of his consciousness to communicate with the Gate of Beyond Heaven before he fell unconscious directly.
"Ah, what a touching scene. Don't worry. You two can continue to stay together in my body later." Scarlet Soul Emperor grinned and drew closer to Yun Lintian.
However, before he could reach Yun Lintian's location, his movement suddenly halted as he saw an ancient silver gate slowly emerge out of thin air beside Yun Lintian. He immediately recognized this. It was no other than the Gate of Beyond Heaven.
The gate slowly opened, and several figures rushed out, appearing around Yun Lintian and Linlin.
Yun Qingrou quickly checked Yun Lintian and heaved a sigh of relief. "He's exhausted from overdrawing his profound energy. There's no major injury."
Yun Ruanyu, Yun Meilan, Yun Huanxin, and Yun Lingwei also felt at ease after hearing this.
"Lingwei, go strengthen the entrance. I'm afraid people on the outside will come in at any time. Huanxin, protect them. Meilan and I will deal with this man." Yun Ruanyu immediately sent a command.
Yun Lingwei immediately rushed to the passage entrance and started arranging a formation. Meanwhile, Yun Huanxin stood calmly before Yun Lintian and Linlin with several sword profound lights floating around her.
"All of you must be his subjects." Scarlet Soul Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, with a faint smile hung on his lips. "Not bad. It is truly heaven itself that has favored this emperor by sending all of you directly into my palm like this. Hehe, this emperor shall receive this gift then."
Scarlet Soul Emperor stretched his hand out and clenched it. A scarlet mist immediately appeared around him and billowed crazily as it transformed into a giant wave of soul energy and surged toward everyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYun Ruanyu and Yun Meilan quickly released their power. However, before they could make a move, they suddenly heard Hongyue's voice. "You two stay back. Let me handle this."
At this moment, Hongyue's illusory figure slowly stepped out of the Gate of Beyond Heaven and pointed her finger at the incoming soul energy wave. Extremely dense red light shot out of the tip of her finger and quickly engulfed the wave before disappearing altogether.
Scarlet Soul Emperor startled for a moment. When his gaze landed on Hongyue, his illusory body was shaken violently. His eyes widened open as he stammered. "R… Red Moon Slaughter! You… How could you…?"
Hongyue, the First Princess of the Divine Moon Clan, was well-known as a Red Moon Slaughter. She was the most ruthless and terrifying killer of the Divine World. No one knew the exact number of people who died under her hand throughout these years, but their blood could definitely form a sea across the world.
The rumor said she had fallen thousands of years ago, Scarlet Soul Emperor couldn't believe his eyes that she would appear here.
"It's been a while. You are still arrogant as before." Hongyue smiled coldly.
Scarlet Soul Emperor returned to his senses and discovered that Hongyue was in a residual soul form. This discovery made him regain his confidence. He grinned and said. "All of you really know how to scare me. I might be afraid of you if it was you in a true form, but now… Hehe."
"So confident? Why don't you try?" Hongyue curled her lips. She didn't seem to take Scarlet Soul Emperor's words to heart.
Scarlet Soul Emperor chuckled and said. "So, you didn't die back then but followed Beyond Heaven King to this world?… Really. This truly surprised me, I must say. An arrogant, proud daughter of heaven like you is actually serving that coward. If this matter reaches the ears of everyone in the Divine World, I'm afraid no one would believe it. Hehe."
Hongyue's eyes suddenly turned sharp. "Don't think that I don't know you are trying to stall the time. Since you don't make a move, I will."
As she spoke that, she pointed her finger at Scarlet Soul Emperor and the similar dense red light quickly shot toward the latter.
