Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Watching the scene before them.

Xiao Yi and his companion felt a chill surge straight to their crowns, making their pores explode open.

Huff! Huff!

Little Lin was gasping for breath, his eyes in an instant covered with a layer of blood-red veins, his tightly clenched fists throbbing with veins as he gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, I want to kill them..."

"Good!"

Xiao Yi nodded forcefully.

In their line of sight...

Ahead there was a world of its own, a subterranean cavern.

At the center of the cavern.

Sat a Buddha statue hundreds of zhang tall, made entirely of gold.

This statue was cast and forged entirely of gold.

Looking at its shape and features.

This was unmistakably a statue of Master Tianyun himself!

But what incensed Xiao Yi and his companion beyond bearing, what made them want to kill, was not the statue but the dozen or so huge furnaces around it. These furnaces were each a hundred zhang tall, filled with countless streams of molten gold, churning incessantly under the heat of the Earth's fire, large bubbles of gold bursting open, and the splattering gold juice emitted a sizzling sound as it hit the ground.

It made one's scalp tingle!

In front of the dozen furnaces, a metal ladder was erected.

At this moment...

Hundreds of ferocious-looking monks were herding young boys and girls up the ladder, some wielding whips, some holding magic wands, and some carrying wooden rulers, all with a vicious look as they herded the children. If anyone dared to resist, they were met with a merciless beating from a throng of monks.

The cries Xiao Yi had heard before were from a brother and sister resisting.

Atop that ladder, the Long-browed Arhat with his snow-white eyebrows hanging like willows and a benevolent appearance, was holding up a lovely little girl by one hand over the furnace. With the other hand, he pinched together a Buddhist salute and chanted, but his words were extremely venomous, "Amitabha, the Bodhisattva once cut flesh to feed the eagles with great mercy. Yet you refuse to even perform this simple act of kindness? To sacrifice yourself and become part of the statue of the Supreme Venerable is something you should be proud of, not resist foolishly..."

"Bald donkey, let go of my sister..."

A young boy, covered in blood and full of wounds, was being stepped on by another monk with feet as big as wash basins. His hands clutched desperately at the ground, oblivious to the sharp stones cutting through his fingers, and he bellowed through gritted teeth, "If you want to cast that old evil monk's statue, have the guts to use your own flesh and blood. Why should we be the ones to die..."

"Silence!"

The Long-browed Arhat let out a cold snort, looking at the boy, "We, as the Arhats bathed in the Buddha's light, naturally expand the territories for the Buddha in this world. And you are just ants. To offer your flesh to cast the living Buddha statue is your honor. Ungrateful wretches, you dare to resist, committing unforgivable grave sins. Let this Arhat grant you sinners the opportunity for salvation!"

As he spoke.

The Long-browed Arhat fiercely let go of his hand, throwing the little girl into the roaring furnace.

The churning molten gold erupted with scorching heat.

Let alone the body of a mere mortal girl, even a master of the Golden Core Realm falling into it would be burned to ashes, merging with the molten gold.

A group of monks from Tian Yun Temple laughed heartily.

To this, they had long been accustomed.

However...

Just as the girl was about to be consumed by the molten gold, a figure suddenly flashed by, a streak of red light lifting the girl out of the furnace.

The Long-browed Monk: "..."

The laughing monks: "..."

"Who?"

The Long-browed Monk snapped back to reality, his icy gaze sweeping across, as sharp as a blade.

Little Lin's figure slowly appeared.

Holding the girl beside him, his bloodshot eyes glaring red with fury, he stared down the Long-browed Monk, "Your grandpa, me!"

"Hmm?"

The Long-browed Monk's brows, like willow twigs, fluttered, recognizing Little Lin's identity, a flicker of cold light passed in his eyes, "You are the young man brought by Brother Xue Tu? How could you be here?"

Little Lin coldly said, "I came here to kill all you sanctimonious beasts!"

```

"Dammit, who are you calling a beast?"

"We are the Buddha's children bathed in the Buddha's light, how dare you insult us as beasts?"

"Men, come! Slay him for me!"

The Long-browed Arhat roared angrily, and suddenly around him, dozens of Tian Yun Temple monks took to the air.

Each held Buddhist instruments, yet not a trace of mercy was shown.

Instead, their faces were contorted with ferocity.

Like Shuras.

"Be careful, big brother..." The girl beside Little Lin gripped the hem of his robe tightly, crying out in alarm.

With an effortless push,

An innate force wrapped around the girl and hurled her to the side as a cold gaze swept toward those monks who had flown into the air. Xiao Yi spoke chillingly, "One after another, you speak of compassion and mercy, yet behind closed doors, you engage in such despicable and venomous deeds, what kind of Buddha are you? If all Buddhas in the world are like you, hypocritical and pretentious, I'd rather be a demon and exterminate all of you, you sham Buddhists!"

As his voice faded,

Little Lin's body erupted in a golden radiance, and with a whoosh, he transformed into his true form.

A colossal body hundreds of yards long shone with a golden light; scales that seemed forged from gold clinked resoundingly as he twisted his body. He violently opened his maw, and within it, a black light emerged, morphing into a massive black vortex. An unparalleled terrifying force of devouring emanated from within the whirlpool.

"No..."

"Lord Buddha, save me..."

"This is hell; I don't want to die..."

One by one, the monks were swallowed whole by Little Lin, followed by a crunching mastication, before spitting out piles of crushed bones.

It was merely a single encounter,

And already, over a hundred monks died at the hands of Little Lin.

"Evil creature, how dare you slaughter my Buddhist disciples before this Arhat! Witness how my Long-browed Demon-Subduing Skill will subdue you..."

The Long-browed Arhat leapt forward, his two grizzled brows lashing out, creating a fierce wind. His eyebrows, like the tail of a divine dragon, grew longer and longer as they hurtled toward Little Lin. Suddenly, the eyebrows exploded, each strand transforming into a spear capable of slaying gods.

Sharp and peerless, they cleaved through the air.

The cultivation of this Long-browed Arhat was also extraordinary, possessing Eighth-layer Human-Honored Realm Cultivation.

An essential pillar of strength in any faction.

Alas...

He met Little Lin today!

As Little Lin assumed his true form, his combat power soared more than tenfold, enough to rival the strength of a Seventh-layer Earthly Honor Realm powerhouse. Despite the barrage of white eyebrow spears crashing down on him, they only produced a tinkling sound, like scratching an itch, unable to even leave a mark on his scales.

"This is impossible..."

The Long-browed Arhat wore an expression of shock.

Little Lin sneered coldly, and with a fierce flick of his massive body, his tail, covered in a golden glow, lashed out straight at the Long-browed Arhat.

"Damn it... block it!"

The Long-browed Arhat's face changed drastically, his hands coming together in prayer as Buddha's light shimmered around him.

His long brows twitched and wove into a white Azure Dragon that roared angrily as it collided with Little Lin.

However...

How could a false dragon contend with a true one?

Moreover,

Little Lin's bloodline was even nobler than that of a true dragon; he was the Supreme Venerable of the Dragon Clan!

Boom!

The white eyebrow Azure Dragon exploded, and the Long-browed Arhat was struck to the ground by Little Lin's tail. With a wail, he collapsed onto the ground, his bones completely shattered by the strike; Little Lin then condensed into a beam of spiritual light landing in front of him, his eyes icy as he looked down.

Murderous intent was laid bare!

...

Sensing Little Lin's intent to kill, the Long-browed Arhat hastily cried out, "Mercy, young hero, mercy! I possess a sacred relic brought from the Western Province by a Supreme Venerable; I am willing to exchange it for my life..."
