Chapter 1618 Li Hao's Tao Origin Immortal Seal (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Such talent only grants a glimpse of the emperor's threshold, while countless gifted individuals in the world are still far from reaching it.

"It's good that your Dao Heart remains intact, and it's good that you managed to survive."

Lin Daogong comforted bitterly.

Lin Zhexuan nodded slightly; his Dao Heart was exceptionally strong, having reached the Eternal Three Realms, with nine echoes of the Dao Heart, not easily damaged.

This failure brought much regret to his heart, but he knew that his survival was more crucial for the future.

"Everyone, we may have lost this time, but as long as we are alive, there is hope. We will return and fight again in the future!"

Lin Zhexuan looked at the surrounding crowd with ashen faces and couldn't help but speak loudly.

His words were meant to inspire; even though he had lost, this generation was destined to fail completely, but at least there was still a future.

However, while the expressions of the Lin Family members were slightly more relaxed, the faces of the ancestors of other families were grim.

"Lin Zhexuan, you weren't far off from that demonic girl, why didn't you fight with all you had?!"

"Exactly, everyone else fought for their lives, and you didn't even burn your Primordial Spirit or use Divine Medicine. Does the Lin Family lack them? If so, I would have given them to you!"

"You've lost, who else can stand against them? Everyone hoped you would win, but you..."

The ancestors of various families were somewhat indignant, ready to have their top gifted individuals fight to the death.

Unfortunately, the disparity in strength between their family's talents and the previously appearing demons was too great, causing them to perish instantly without being able to inflict damage, hence no objections were raised.

Had they been able to fight, they would have surely driven their talented individuals to fight desperately!

Even if it meant the complete annihilation of the Primordial Spirit, they would not hesitate!

Before their arrival, they had used Domain Artifacts to preserve a trace of their family's talented individuals' soul thought, and they would be revered as family heroes, with their parents' status elevated and the next generation nurtured intensively.

Upon hearing these angry reprimands and questions, Lin Zhexuan frowned slightly, and the Lin Family members turned pale, indignantly sweeping their eyes over, staring at those ancestral figures with shared hatred.

Lin Daogong's expression changed slightly; he knew well that Lin Zhexuan's failure to burn the Primordial Spirit was not "doing his best," but he also knew that even if Lin Zhexuan burnt the Primordial Spirit, he only had a slim chance because the demonic girl cherished her foundation.

That demonic girl had gone so far as to burn her Primordial Spirit Power first to kill Lin Zhexuan, showing that even if Lin Zhexuan exhausted everything, he might not win.

Before he could explain, Lin Zhexuan already spoke, his face sullen and cold:

"Burning the Primordial Spirit, consuming Divine Medicine—easy words for you!"

"If I burned the Primordial Spirit, wouldn't the opponent do the same? Doesn't the opponent possess Magic Potion?"

He glared coldly at these ancestral figures in the Immortal King Realm, showing no fear or courtesy, and said:

"If you truly have anger, you should strive to cultivate your children into pillars rather than accusing me of not doing my utmost!"

"You!"

"You are too presumptuous; the resources are controlled by the Lin Family. We would like to, but which treasure or forbidden land isn't claimed by you?"

"Lin Zhexuan, how can you say such things? Even if the opponent burns their Primordial Spirit and consumes Divine Medicine alongside you, the damage they suffer would mean they don't win without consequence!"

If his earlier words were barely acceptable, the reprimand in Lin Zhexuan's last sentence made the ancestors react like cats whose tails had been stepped on, jumping in fury.

"At all the Holy Lands and Divine Mountains, what hasn't the Lin Family claimed? The Jiang Family and the Su Family have already burnt their Primordial Spirits fighting, yet you concede so lightly!"

"Preserving yourself like this, how will you shoulder the burden of the Human Race when danger comes in the future!"

The voices of reprimand intensified.

Lin Daogong's expression shifted, realizing Lin Zhexuan had spoken too much, especially as everyone had just conceded. Facing such a major defeat for the Human Race and low spirits, his words were especially provocative.

"Considering the bigger picture, but according to you, I'm a coward?!"

Lin Zhexuan heard the reprimands, his expression changed, and he clenched his fists with some anger.

Lin Daogong swiftly moved to block Lin Zhexuan from speaking further. His presence exuded the aura of a Half-step Emperor, enveloping heaven and earth, containing a hint of Emperor's Might that caused the ancestral figures' expressions to shift, looking at him with indignation.

"Everyone, Zhexuan is preserving the future rather than being cowardly. With Jiang Xuming's fall, do you want Zhexuan to fall too? Though it would be a glorious defeat, what about the future, what do we fight with?"

Lin Daogong spoke with a solemn and heavy voice.

Upon hearing him, the ancestral figures' expressions changed, expecting arrogance, but his soft and humble explanation eased much of their anger.

After all, as a Half-step Emperor, with a Great Emperor of the Lin Family asleep, should they resort to their strength, there was no need to be so polite.

Moreover, recalling Jiang Xuming's tragic fall, such a gifted individual lost at a young age is truly heartbreaking.

For a moment, silence and stillness fell upon the air.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

The middle-aged man in purple robes clapped, applauding them. With dire pressure mounting, they almost descended into internal chaos, blaming each other like dogs biting dogs.
