Chapter 557

In the void, immortal light permeated, and immortal spiritual energy surged like a tide, sacred and magnificent.

A majestic figure, hands clasped behind his back, stood above the void, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below.

At this moment, everyone knelt on the ground, their faces filled with reverence and fervent devotion.

Only one person stood tall, head held high, meeting the gaze of the majestic figure.

"You are quite remarkable," the majestic figure spoke, a hint of admiration in his voice.

The person smiled slightly upon hearing this, and said, "Thank you for the praise, Holy Lord."

"I will grant you an opportunity," the majestic figure continued, "Serve me as your master, and one day, you too can achieve the rank of Immortal King."

The person still smiled and replied, "My Great Dao is mine alone to control; it needs no bestowal from others."

"Arrogant!"

The majestic figure's expression darkened, and his aura suddenly erupted like a world-ending torrent, sweeping outwards.

The crowd below trembled, their faces etched with terror.

Such pressure far exceeded their limits of endurance!

"Do you realize I am a Half-Step Immortal King, merely one step away from the Immortal King realm?" the majestic figure spoke grimly.

"What if you are a Half-Step Immortal King?" the person replied calmly, his expression unchanged. "Great Emperors, Immortal Kings, Immortal Lords, Immortal Venerables—I have seen them all."

"Impudent!"

The majestic figure roared in fury, raising a hand and unleashing a streak of immortal light, like a heavenly sword, that slashed towards the person.

The immortal light contained terrifying power, enough to slay any Great Emperor.

However, the person neither dodged nor avoided, allowing the immortal light to strike him directly.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, the immortal light dispersed, yet the person remained completely unharmed, not even a speck of dust on his clothes.

The majestic figure's pupils suddenly constricted, and his face showed utter shock.

"You... who are you?" the majestic figure exclaimed in horror.

The person smiled faintly and said, "I am Lin Bei."

As his words fell, he raised a finger, and a faint white light instantly pierced through the majestic figure's glabella.

The majestic figure's body stiffened, the vitality in his eyes rapidly faded, and he ultimately crashed to the ground.

"Holy Lord!"

The crowd below cried out in alarm, their eyes wide with disbelief.

The person looked down at the fallen majestic figure and spoke indifferently, "One day, you too shall kneel like this."

With those words, he turned and departed, vanishing into the void.

Only the crowd below remained, along with the fallen majestic figure.

A Half-Step Immortal King, fallen!

What an earth-shattering event this was!
