You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

In an instant, a gigantic scroll appeared in the air on the first floor of the Tianxia Building. Accompanied by an overwhelming pressure, the gigantic scroll began to slowly unfold.

On the unfolded scroll, a vast blue sea appeared, with raging waves, where a solitary island with an enormous fortress stood.

Those with extensive knowledge could easily recognize that this island was Chongtao Island in the southeastern sea border!

"Boom!"

Two mystical lights burst from the island in the scroll, encapsulating Lin Yue and the Thousand Waters Daoist below in an instant.

"Thousand Mile Mountains and Rivers Painting?"

Under the light, Lin Yue looked up at the scroll, and this thought flashed in his mind.

The Thousand Mile Mountains and Rivers Painting was the ultimate treasure of the Xiahong clan, capable of reflecting this world and creating a similar environment within the scroll's void, an incredible Great Divine Power.

Although the Tianxia Building was an Illusion World, it was also based on reality, and only if something could possibly exist in reality could it appear in this illusion.

Apparently, the master of the Tianxia Building understood the Thousand Mile Mountains and Rivers Painting completely to allow it to reappear in the Tianxia Building.

— This was also an important basis for suspecting the master of the Tianxia Building was a significant figure of the Xiahong clan.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Lin Yue was sucked into the Thousand Mile Mountains and Rivers Painting, like a tiny ant falling on the solitary island in the sea depicted in the scroll.

When he came to his senses, he found himself on a beach by the sea.

The sun shone brilliantly in the sky, and before him lay an endless expanse of blue sea. The sea breeze blew at him, evoking a sense of nostalgia.

Turning around, he saw deep within the island a massive city gate, beyond which a giant black curtain almost covered half the world, with faint starlight flickering.

"Is that the border between Eternal Night and Great Yong?"

Lin Yue sighed slightly; the sea he had just witnessed reminded him of a beach in his previous life, while this view brought him back to reality.

What exactly was Eternal Night, and how did the Divine Emperor dispel it within Great Yong's realm?

"Crash!"

At this moment, the tremendous sound of waves suddenly arose. A massive wave surged on the sea near the beach, resembling a terrifying tsunami sweeping toward the coast!

Lin Yue slightly turned his head to look.

He saw that the Thousand Waters Daoist was floating in the distance in midair, one hand holding a blue Magic Pearl, while her other hand formed a spell with her fingertips, maneuvering the frightening waves to attack.

"Sea Flipping Technique?"

Lin Yue immediately recognized the spell and lightly shook his head, "Do you underestimate me so?"

Although the power of this Sea Flipping Technique was far more astonishing than described in Daoist texts, for one adept in Water Element techniques and capable of passing through the second layer of Tianxia Building, it was quite normal.

However, the Sea Flipping Technique was a large-scale spell more suitable for group attacks. Against a strong opponent of the same level, it was rather average.

Did this Thousand Waters Daoist think she could crush him like that?

She indeed underestimated him as a newbie.

"However, the result is nonetheless the same."

Lin Yue did not waste time; the Wind and Fire elements quietly surged. His figure flashed in an instant, passing through the towering waves, and in another instant, appeared behind the Thousand Waters Daoist.

Simultaneously, a woman's head appeared in his hand, bloodstained, still with a trace of bewilderment in her eyes.

What happened?

What transpired?

Did I... lose?

This thought flashed in her mind, and the tsunami, losing its spell control, suddenly collapsed.

"Plop."

The headless body of the Thousand Waters Daoist fell into the yet-unsettled waves. As the blood continuously gushed out, it was quickly engulfed by the surf, vanishing without a trace.

Lin Yue floated in midair, relying on the Wind Element, looking calm and untroubled.

This Thousand Waters Daoist was a cultivator of the second layer in Tianxia Building. In terms of Daoist cultivation, at most, she barely possessed the power to pass the third round of life-and-death battle in the Inner Hall examination.

While he, in the third round of the life-and-death battle, had easily instantly killed the Heavenly Soldier Puppet, even breezing through the fourth round, and if he exerted all his power, the fifth round was not entirely hopeless.

His strength was inherently much greater than that of the Thousand Waters Daoist, and if she dared to underestimate him, having only the simplest Water Wave Protection as her defensive measure, an instant kill was naturally her fate.

"Boom!"

A beam of light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Lin Yue's body, making him disappear.

As for the first floor of the Tianxia Building, silence reigned.

Almost everyone gazed at the young man within the Thousand Mile Mountains and Rivers Painting, floating above the sea, holding the Thousand Waters Daoist's head in one hand.

Having entered the Thousand Mile Mountains and Rivers Painting, the scene was extremely realistic, yet still, no one saw what had occurred.

In just an instant, the young man, whose title was the End Times, had already appeared behind the Thousand Waters Daoist and took her head!

It was so fast, it was unbelievable.

So fast that they could not comprehend it.

However, a few individuals, despite their surprise, found it understandable.

They had watched the Inner Hall examination in Ancestor Hall days before and had witnessed this prince's astonishing performance, naturally having foreseen this result long ago.

Although the Thousand Waters Daoist had practiced cultivation for over a hundred years and was quite powerful in the Four Symbols Heaven Barrier, compared to those monstrous geniuses under thirty in the Inner Hall examination, she was far inferior.

In terms of both strength and talent, she was in an entirely different league.
