Lin Jin didn't expect to see an immortal emperor inside the Unending Nature Landscape's origin painting.
The Immortal Emperor looked equally furious as if an ant had offended him and he was going to use his immortal methods to punish those who dared to offend him.
In the next instant, the group of golden armored immortals charged down with all sorts of artifacts in hand, all of them heading straight for Lin Jin.
Xiao Huo was busy fending off the army so he couldn't get away. Hence, Lin Jin had to go up and take the lead.
Fortunately, while Lin Jin wasn't an immortal, he had the skills of an immortal.
"Breezy Monster Sword!"
Lin Jin called out. The flying sword in his hand was already unsheathed, turning into a blinding ray of light as it flew toward the golden armored immortals.
Sword rays flashed and immortal aura rippled. Surprisingly, the flying sword managed to block the golden armored immortals' attacks.
Lin Jin didn't look at the Immortal Emperor and the other immortal officials anymore. Not provoking them now was his top priority. Sometimes, Lin Jin even had to show signs of weakness to numb the other party so that he could buy more time for Shu Xiao Lou to complete his control over the Nature Landscape.
Admittedly, Lin Jin's strategy did work in the beginning.
The enemy didn't send more troops. Although Lin Jin and Xiao Huo were in a perilous situation, they managed to hold on and buy some time. Lin Jin was satisfied.
Just as Lin Jin was guessing that these people and beasts were all just drawings and that their brains weren't working well, the immortal emperor suddenly scoffed from above the clouds.
The next instant, more immortals swarmed out of their nest and attacked.
"This is bad!" Lin Jin hurriedly activated the Four Seas Freedom Gourd. Endless amounts of seawater rose against the sky and gushed out. In an instant, it was as if the world had been turned upside down and the flood was directed at the sky.
This move was truly impressive as it immediately scattered the immortal generals. Although it was impossible to kill them all, delaying them for a little longer wouldn't be a problem.
Lin Jin was going all out. He was going all out. When a powerful immortal general got close, Lin Jin immediately released his ghost devourer spirit insects and the ghost blood beast.
These immortal generals were not real immortals. They were just "painting spirits" with a trace of immortal Qi. Since they were spirit bodies, the Spirit-Devouring Ghost Worms could be used.
No matter how powerful an immortal general was, they wouldn't be able to stop the spirit devourer ghost worm. This discovery boosted Lin Jin's confidence once again. Initially, Lin Jin thought he wouldn't be able to hold on, but now, he felt like he could hold on for a while longer.
The immortal generals and officials were the same. There shouldn't be too much of a difference in strength between them. The ghostly blood beast and spirit devourer ghost insect were enough to handle them. As long as the immortal emperor at the summit didn't intervene, Lin Jin felt like he could hold on.
The wish was good, but the reality was cruel.
Seeing that so many immortal soldiers and generals were unable to kill the enemy, the Immortal Emperor above the clouds was finally infuriated. He wanted to personally take action.
Lin Jin knew very well that the nine-heavens world in this painting world wasn't real. Naturally, these immortal soldiers and generals weren't real either. Their strength couldn't possibly compare to real immortals.
Otherwise, no matter how strong Lin Jin was, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Perhaps even a slightly stronger immortal general could beat Lin Jin senseless. Admittedly, this feeling of 'wreaking havoc in the heavens' was quite satisfying.
However, this feeling vanished the instant the immortal emperor made his move.
The immortal emperor was definitely fake too. But no matter how fake it was, it was still a painting spirit that contained a trace of an immortal emperor's aura. The other immortal soldiers and generals were at most pseudo immortals in terms of cultivation and strength. The moment the immortal emperor made his move, he had already surpassed the average true immortal.
He might even be at the level of a carefree immortal.
And this was just a painting spirit with a trace of an immortal emperor's aura. If a real immortal emperor were to descend, one sneeze and Lin Jin would be dead.
The immortal emperor pressed down with his hand and a palm came crashing down from the heavens. Layer by layer, it was as if the heavens were collapsing.
Even from a distance, Lin Jin felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, rendering him immobile.
"This is ridiculous!" Lin Jin tried his best to move his body but to no avail. The difference in strength was overwhelming. Lin Jin wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from an immortal emperor, even if it was a fake one.
Without a doubt, Lin Jin was probably done for when the immortal emperor's palm came crashing down.
The ghost-blood beast might be able to protect him from death, but that was only a possibility.
At this moment, Lin Jin didn't feel any fear at all. If there was anything he felt, it was resentment. He never thought that after being able to fight a true immortal, he wouldn't even be able to retaliate against a fake immortal emperor.
The difference in strength was so great.
Shu Xiao Lou definitely wouldn't be able to occupy this Origin Painting Realm in time. Judging from the immortal emperor's attack range, Shu Xiao Lou wouldn't be able to escape either.
Lin Jin closed his eyes.
He couldn't move at all. It wasn't just him. Xiao Huo, the ghost-blood beast, and the spirit devourer ghost bug were all immobilized as well.
The breeze monster sword was suppressed and fell to the ground, its glow dimming.
The only thing that could still emit a buzzing sound was the Four Seas Freedom Gourd, but that was all it could do.
Hence, Lin Jin was at his wit's end. His only choice was to die with his eyes open or with his eyes closed. Lin Jin chose the latter.
He might feel better if he kept his eyes closed.
However, Lin Jin suddenly felt someone reaching out to take the Four Seas Freedom Gourd from his waist.
"Shu Xiao Lou?" Lin Jin quickly opened his eyes. From what he could see, there was only him and Shu Xiao Lou here. Other than Shu Xiao Lou, Lin Jin couldn't think of anyone else.
However, when he turned around, Lin Jin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
At this moment, a black shadow was standing beside him.
Long hair, long dress, and shapeless figure. It was just like a shadow that could walk upright.
Lin Jin immediately recognized it as his own shadow. No, it was his previous shadow transformation. Now, this shadow was holding the Four Seas Freedom Gourd in its hand. It nodded at Lin Jin before raising a finger.
The Four Seas Freedom Gourd let out a piercing sound as an ice sword shot up into the sky.
This ice sword was over a thousand feet long and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the immortal emperor's descending palm strike. Magnificent and powerful, this was the most unique feature of this thousand-feet ice sword.
However, the speed at which the spell was cast was too fast. Although Lin Jin wasn't a spellcaster, he knew the basics and was knowledgeable enough to know that those who could cast a spell like this were at least true immortals.
Perhaps not even a true immortal could do it so quickly.
However, Lin Jin didn't have the time to lament. There was only one thought in his mind. It wasn't who this shadow was, but why it could wield the Four Seas Freedom Gourd.
This artifact belonged to him and Lin Jin had always been the one to refine it.
An artifact had to recognize its owner. Not everyone could just pick it up and use it. No matter who this shadow was, even if its cultivation was higher than an immortal emperor, it couldn't just pick it up and use it.
Unless, this Four Seas Freedom Gourd was personally crafted by this shadow.
