Chapter 1034: Chapter 1034: Unlock the Password
Everyone thought that Tian would perish under that talisman, immediately dissolving into nothingness.
No one believed Tian could survive this hit, as it was a force no lower-ranking Divine Being could withstand.
Even Wen Bujun, who had drawn the talisman, fell to the ground uncontrollably after using it. His Divine Soul Light Shadow shattered, blood flowed from his seven orifices, his body seemed drained, his previously handsome and vibrant face turned gaunt and withered, his hair turned grey and dry, as if he was about to be laid in a coffin.
Everyone was staring at the talisman on Tian’s forehead, silently waiting for the imagined scene to occur.
Such a terrifying strike was bound to annihilate Tian, and no amount of recovery power could possibly bring back a Divine Being who had evaporated from the human realm.
One second… two seconds… three seconds…
Several seconds had passed, yet the scene they imagined did not happen, making the expressions on many Immortal Spirits’ faces gradually turn subtle.
Even Pan Xiaoning and Yue Hongyan changed their complexion, seemingly unable to believe the thought that popped into their minds.
Until the ten seconds’ duration of the attack ended, the anticipated scene still had not appeared.
Free from the restrictions of the rules, it was Lin Shen’s turn, and he extended a hand, pressing it against his forehead. In the disbelieving stares of everyone, he peeled the talisman off his forehead.
Pan Xiaoning’s eyes nearly popped out: “Fuck… what the hell is going on…”
Yue Hongyan was already too shocked to speak. That was a talisman infused with the might of the Jade Emperor, yet it could not subdue Tian, who instead took it off. The sight was simply unbelievable.
Wen Bujun looked at Lin Shen in shock, rendered numb. During his preparation time, he did nothing but stared blankly at Tian holding the talisman.
In fact, given his current state, he couldn’t do much anyway.
Drawing a talisman containing the might of the Jade Emperor had significantly overtaxed his body, leaving him without the capacity to fight. Whether he defended himself or not made no substantial difference.
Now if Lin Shen were to strike him again, he wouldn’t even be able to use the power of Culture as a Path to lift the injuries off himself.
He had no idea that if he hadn’t written a talisman belonging to the Jade Emperor, but instead had written a weaker one, perhaps he would have already killed Lin Shen.
But he had to write the strongest one belonging to the Jade Emperor, and this strongest Jade Emperor happened to be Lin Shen’s Guardian Spirit.
If the power of the Jade Emperor could harm Lin Shen, that would be truly bizarre.
Lin Shen, holding the Jade Emperor’s talisman, had an odd thought flash through his mind: “Could it be that the summoning posture I used before was incorrect?”
Lin Shen had just seen Wen Bujun using the talisman, which was clearly formed by Wen Bujun’s own strength, yet he seemed to have uttered “hastily, as if by royal decree” at the end.
Lin Shen recalled when he used the piece of paper given to him by Third Brother to summon the avatar of the Supreme Old Lord, he had also ended with the same phrase.
This made Lin Shen suspect that the reason he could not summon the Jade Emperor might lie exactly there.
Could that phrase be the final “pound key” to unlock the code, without which one could not confirm the summoning?
The more Lin Shen thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If merely calling out for the Jade Emperor could summon him, it would cause chaos. Imagine accidentally summoning him just by mentioning his name—such a mistake would be too low-level.
It was now Lin Shen’s turn to attack. Clutching the talisman in his hand, he glanced at Wen Bujun who was sitting on the ground, looking very much like a dead man already, and thought to himself: “Let’s give it a try then.”
With a thought, Lin Shen enunciated each word, shouting: “Quick, quick as the laws dictate!”
As the last word was spoken, Lin Shen also tossed the talisman in his hand towards Wen Bujun.
In an instant, the talisman shone with blinding light, morphing into a force that pressed down on Wen Bujun as if heaven and earth were bearing down.
The next second, the entire arena, along with Wen Bujun, turned to ash. The protective barrier of the arena shattered, and many of the Divine Beings in the front row of the stands were affected, instantly turning to ash on the spot.
Many of the Upper Gods watching the match took action to fend off the terrifying power, saving the audience in the stands from a mass demise.
Many of the surviving audience members looked at the arena, now in ruins, with lingering fear, as only Lin Shen remained floating above the wreckage.
“Tian… wins…” The system’s voice rang out, awakening the many Divine Beings as if from a dream.
The battle between Lin Shen and Wen Bujun shocked the entire Celestial Court, attracting not just the Lower Divine Beings but also many Middle and Upper Divine Beings, all studying the recordings of the battle.
Undoubtedly, Wen Bujun, capable of creating talismans infused with the power of the Jade Emperor, became an unbelievably mighty being.
For many years, the Celestial Court had found few Lower Divine Beings who could be compared to Wen Bujun.
One could say that Wen Bujun’s battle was his ascension to divinity, his abilities representing almost the pinnacle for Lower Divine Beings, perhaps comparable to that of the Ancestors of their clans.
However, Lin Shen’s performance was baffling. So many Upper Gods had analyzed it for a long time and still could not understand why Wen Bujun’s talisman caused Lin Shen no harm.
The facts proved that the talisman did possess formidable power, unmatched indeed.
Yet, peculiarly, the talisman did not hurt Lin Shen. Instead, he turned it to his own advantage.
That was truly inconceivable; despite repeated examination of the recordings, none could discern what skills or abilities Lin Shen had used. It seemed he had casually plucked it from the air, and then simply used it for himself.
Yue Hongyan also studied it for a long time, unable to comprehend what exactly had happened.
Several times, Yue Hongyan nearly couldn’t resist the urge to take out her communicator and message Lin Shen, but in the end, she still refrained from doing so.
At this time, the people of the Deng Family felt as if they were going insane, especially Deng Yongxin, who felt an urge to cry but had no tears.
Everyone thought that Tian was actually Deng Aduo, and many families were inquiring, both openly and in secret, about her actual situation.
Old friends and high-ranking members of other families also made veiled inquiries to him about Tian’s matters.
But how could he know anything about who Tian was? He had always thought Tian was just a Common Divine Being, the kind that came from some mountainous backwater. Who could have imagined that Tian would cause such a stir?
Now even the Shen Family was interrogating him, questioning whether the Deng Family was regretting the arranged marriage because Tian was too outstanding, wanting to go back on the previous agreement.
Deng Yongxin was truly at his wits’ end, clueless about how to handle the current situation.
