Chapter 44: Kicking an Iron Plate
Chapter 44: Kicking an Iron Plate
Revenge for a disciple?
The gazes of the other figures turned peculiar. As fellow disciples of the unorthodox sects, they were quite familiar with one another, and everyone knew each other’s true nature.
Would someone truly be this enthusiastic about avenging a disciple?
There must be some trick!
“Since Brother Tongming seeks revenge for his disciple, how could we not lend a hand!” The black-robed, green-eyed cultivator who spoke rolled his eyes, a flash of cunning in them. He chuckled and transformed into a foul, bloody stench, speeding toward the Iron Immortal Temple.
“Fellow practitioners should support each other!”
“Exactly!”
The other three figures gave sinister smirks and turned to follow.
“These guys…”
Sensing the changes behind him, Daoist Tongming’s expression shifted, and he cursed inwardly at how sharp these Daoists were.
This soon turned into a surge of rage.
“You brat, die!”
Amid his furious roar, a mass of blazing green flame appeared in his hand, and a green divine shuttle materialized.
The Nine Mothers Green Flame Shuttle. It was forged by collecting numerous mother-and-child ghosts, torturing them to maximize their resentment and hatred, and contained the Nine Mothers Yin Demon Flame. It was extremely vicious, specially designed to cloud spiritual senses.
A vast green radiance descended from the sky, accompanied by what seemed like endless wails and cries, causing dizziness and confusion.
Some weaker Iron Immortal Temple priests and disciples screamed before collapsing unconscious, blood trickling from their seven orifices.
“Oh no, are evil cultivators attacking the temple?”
In another side room, Yun Yi, who had been deep in thought, abruptly paled. But then his expression froze as a strand of golden light pierced between his eyebrows, and he immediately fell to the ground unconscious.
“What a nuisance!”
At the entrance of the dining hall, Lin Yuan looked up, anger already burning within him. These unorthodox loose cultivators were truly vicious to the extreme—this was clearly an attempt to slaughter all the temple’s disciples.
The faint golden Merit Golden Lamp in his hand emitted a golden glow. He simply put all the Iron Immortal Temple disciples into a stupor, so he could focus fully.
Lin Yuan could now clearly sense the vast magical power circulating within him.
In the Mystic Gate Immortal Path, among the three great realms, he had already reached the twelfth layer of the Jade Mysterious Realm. The next steps were the three stages within the twelve layers of the Great Mysterious Realm: Scattered Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Celestial Immortal.
His Turbid Sha Divine Demon Dao Body had also reached this bottleneck. The only step left was to nurture the Primordial Origin Embryo into an Innate Divine Demon Primordial Spirit. That single step could rival Celestial Divine Demons, and Celestial Divine Demons were comparable to Celestial Immortals, or possibly even stronger.
Moreover, he was not an ordinary Acquired Being who had become a Celestial Divine Demon, but an Innate Being with a foundation akin to an Innate Divine Demon.
The moment he trapped the minds of the Iron Immortal Temple’s numerous disciples, Lin Yuan pondered briefly. Instead, he withdrew the Merit Golden Lamp into his body, circulating the Acquired Primordial Spirit within it. Vast Primal Origin magical power flowed through him, and his entire body radiated a clear, luminous Primordial Spirit Treasure Light.
The appearance of this trace of Primordial Spirit Treasure Light immediately made Tongmingzi, who was about to charge down, sense extreme danger. In an instant, his heart turned cold.
Primordial Spirit Treasure Light—that was the sign of a Primordial Spirit Great True Lord.
There were no easy targets below. Instead, there was a deadly Primordial Spirit Great True Lord!
With a fierce glint in his eyes, Lin Yuan extended a hand. A black light instantly appeared, and with a casual wave, countless black beams shot out, accompanied by a terrifying thunderous sound.
That was the Innate Black Water True Thunder, derived from the Supreme Subtle Primal Origin Art!
These streaks of Innate Black Water True Thunder tore through the sky, smashing the incoming Nine Mothers Green Flame Shuttle until its radiance dimmed.
Lin Yuan felt the mournful wails and howls of the numerous mother-and-child ghosts within the Nine Mothers Green Flame Shuttle, and the fierceness in his eyes deepened. The Innate Black Water True Thunder even carried a trace of genuine Innate Yin-Yang Divine Thunder.
“Pfft!”
The spiritual imprint within the Nine Mothers Green Flame Shuttle was severely damaged. Daoist Tongming immediately suffered a backlash and heavy injury, his face flushing red. He shot a horrified glance at Lin Yuan. Already distressed over his treasure’s damage, he inwardly groaned and shouted.
“Which Great True Lord stands before me? I am Daoist Tongming of Luojia Mountain, here for a personal grudge alone, with no ill intent!”
Daoist Tongming knew that at such close range, he couldn’t outrun a Primordial Spirit Great True Lord’s Primordial Spirit Treasure Light.
“A Great True Lord?”
She Lingzi, Divine Lord Heisha, and the two notorious loose cultivators from Fire Wolf Ridge, who were flying down from above, were instantly horrified and inwardly cursed.
Was Daoist Tongming insane, provoking a Primordial Spirit Great True Lord?
But the five realized there was no turning back now—they were all dragged into this.
Judging by the Primordial Spirit Treasure Light above this Great True Lord’s head, he must be a genuine, orthodox expert from the Mystic Gate Dharma Lineage. He definitely wouldn’t let the five of them, blood-stained unorthodox loose cultivators, simply leave.
The five were not ordinary either; they had roamed freely in their domains. Seeing no escape, their vicious nature flared.
“Let’s join forces and surround-kill him!”
Divine Lord Heisha was the most decisive. Amid his angry roar, a sky full of black sand poured down. The sand carried a nauseating foulness, and even from hundreds of yards away, Lin Yuan felt a slight discomfort.
Considering he now had a physique nearly that of an Innate Divine Demon, the fact that the foulness carried by the black sand could affect him showed its power.
The black-robed, green-eyed She Lingzi was also no ordinary foe. The moment he resolved, a mass of disgustingly greasy red mist soared from his hand, blanketing the sky as it rushed toward the Iron Immortal Temple.
That was the Rainbow Red Cloud Miasma, refined from poisonous miasma of the wild lands, specifically designed to seal the five orifices—extremely vicious.
The two seemingly very young cultivators from Fire Wolf Ridge also acted simultaneously, fierce light flashing in their eyes. Countless pink blade lights appeared around them. Sharp blade rays, carrying a sickeningly sweet fragrance, shot through the air.
Those were eighty-one Peach Blossom Flying Daggers, infused with Peach Blossom Poison Miasma. A single slash would quickly soften limbs and weaken the Yin Spirit, leaving the victim helpless.
Several divine lights streaked down through the air, a terrifying sight.
A fierce gleam shone in the eyes of the five; such a formation gave them some confidence. Even a Primordial Spirit Great True Lord would be hard-pressed facing their combined assault!
Near the Iron Immortal Temple, several figures watched in horror. These were Fire Spirit Palace disciples sent to other places to capture Daoist temple members. Having completed their mission, they waited long for Zhang Qi, who never arrived. Heading to the Iron Immortal Temple to regroup, they witnessed this scene.
Meanwhile, in the Lingjiang River, several figures rushing rapidly toward the Water Mansion halted simultaneously, turning their gaze toward the Iron Immortal Temple’s direction.
“Dragon King, it seems experts are battling?” One figure with a turtle shell on its back circulated its Primordial Spirit to sense briefly, its expression odd.
The imposing figure with majestic dragon horns on its forehead focused its gaze. After a moment, its expression shifted slightly.
“What a formidable Primordial Spirit Great True Lord!”
“What?” The several Dragon Palace divine generals behind exchanged glances.
Inside the Iron Immortal Temple.
Seeing the five loose cultivators unleash their techniques, Lin Yuan sneered coldly. As the Peach Blossom Poison Miasma flew toward him, he inhaled deeply, like a whale sucking in water. To She Lingzi’s stunned gaze, he swallowed it all in one gulp.
Tempered by the Innate Thunder Method, Lin Yuan’s physical body was far more terrifying than those of cultivators specializing in body refinement. Forget bronze skin and iron bones—his innards were filled with Innate Qi. Poison miasma of this level was nothing to him.
At that moment, the eighty-one Peach Blossom Flying Daggers from the two Fire Wolf Ridge loose cultivators had arrived. Seeing this, Lin Yuan simply stood still, unmoving.
Eighty-one peach-colored blade lights streaked like graceful pink streams!
To the great delight of the two Fire Wolf Ridge loose cultivators, he allowed all eighty-one flying daggers to strike his body.
“Clang, clang, clang!”
Sparks seemed to burst from him, with incessant clanging sounds.
From afar, the great joy on the two Fire Wolf Ridge loose cultivators’ faces stiffened.
“How is this possible?” The two loose cultivators almost bulged their eyes, unable to believe what they saw!
“He actually possesses such a terrifying Mystic Body Dao Body?”
“You’ve had your fun. Now it’s my turn!” Lin Yuan chuckled coldly, a ferocious glint flashing deep in his eyes. He simply activated the Innate God-Demon Embryo. His figure abruptly grew over thirty feet tall, faint black dragon scales appearing on his legs, almost transforming into a dragon’s tail.
That was the Primordial Divine Demon Dao Body.
Most Innate Divine Demons possessed immensely powerful Dao Bodies, dominating the Primordial World. Although Lin Yuan had not yet fully cultivated the Innate Thunder God Primordial Spirit or merged it with his Dao Body, he was already exceptionally terrifying!
A vast spiritual pressure suddenly emerged!
