Chapter 160
🕑 Added 2024-05-13 04:00:02 +0000 UTCThe thousand-zhang giant ape is very strong.
This kind of 'strength' is not limited to the physical body alone.
It encompasses a greater mastery of space and other profound rules.
If someone thinks that the thousand-zhang giant ape is just a physically large 'dumb brute', then they are completely mistaken.
Being able to confront ancient sages, the eldest prince of the barbaric demonic beasts.
How could it only rely on brute force?
But unfortunately, the thousand-zhang giant ape encountered Lin Yuan.
With the strength of the thousand-zhang giant ape, even if it really encountered a certain ancient sage, it still had the ability to survive.
After all, the lair of the demon saints is nearby.
As long as the thousand-zhang giant ape persists for a while, the demon saint from that lair will come.
However, in front of Lin Yuan, who had already stepped into the Void Refinement stage cultivation, the thousand-zhang giant ape couldn't even hold on for a breath, and was severely injured and on the brink of death from being trampled by Lin Yuan's four feet.
This is a body Void Refinement realm cultivator.
In the Central Continent, there has never been a lineage of cultivators like this.
After stepping into the body Void Refinement stage, Lin Yuan faintly felt that with just one punch or kick, he could suppress the surrounding void.
One force breaking through myriad laws.
That's what body Void Refinement stage is about.
"Since I'm almost done anyway, I might as well..."
Lin Yuan lowered his head and looked down at the thousand-zhang giant ape, who was coughing up blood heavily. He made a decision in his heart.
In the distance, several demonic beasts were watching.
At this moment, there was silence, and their gazes were vacant.
What did they see? Their own eldest prince, in front of that tiny human like speck of dust, actually had no resistance at all.
He's the eldest prince.
The eldest prince who can challenge even ancient sages.
Why is he powerless in front of Lin Yuan?
Several demonic beasts glanced at each other.
They instinctively felt, was the eldest prince too weak?
But in an instant, these several demonic beasts realized.
How could the eldest prince be weak?
All along the way, the eldest prince has been imposing and mighty.
They remembered that clearly.
Since it's not the eldest prince who is weak.
Then it must be that the human is too strong.
Strong enough to render the eldest prince powerless to resist.
"Who exactly... who exactly is this ancient sage?"
"Aren't they afraid of causing chaos in the world?"
These several demonic beasts trembled in their hearts.
That tiny human, with just a few steps, made the eldest prince lose all resistance.
It means that this person is definitely on the level of an ancient sage.
In today's world, the Daoist Immortal Sect occupies the Central Divine Continent, while the Ghostly Palace, the Blood Demon Sea, and the Demon Saint's Nest each dominate the south, north, and west of the Divine Continent respectively.
But these four major forces have an unwritten rule.
That is, unless absolutely necessary, ancient sages at the Void Refinement level do not need to take action.
Even more than ten years ago, when the Daoist Immortal Sect's layout in the Black Veil Islands of the Eastern Sea was annihilated.
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect only descended as an incarnation of an immortal mirror at that time, while the true body still remained in the Daoist Immortal Mountain.
"Look, what is that person doing?"
The thoughts of several demonic beasts were chaotic, and their pupils suddenly contracted.
Because.
They saw—
That tiny human.
Facing the thousand-zhang giant ape, he sucked in sharply.
In an instant.
The life force within the thousand-zhang giant ape, which was still gasping for breath, began to rapidly dissipate.
In less than a moment.
It turned into a pile of bones.
"Not bad, not bad."
"It's roughly equivalent to dozens of quasi-sixth-rank medicinal plants."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
He had just broken through to the Void Refinement stage cultivation, and although his combat power had soared, his body was currently weakened due to the breakthrough.
This thousand-zhang giant ape came at just the right time, becoming Lin Yuan's source of replenishment for his weakness.
Just then.
As the thousand-zhang giant ape completely perished.
Deep within the wilderness, a massive aura began to revive.
"That demonic saint?"
Lin Yuan glanced over.
It's no secret that there's a demonic saint in the demon's nest deep in the wilderness.
But this demonic saint spends most of his time in a state of slumber.
"Let's go."
Lin Yuan had no intention of fighting that demonic saint.
It's not that Lin Yuan is not a match for that demonic saint, but it's meaningless.
Lin Yuan has not yet reached the level of invincibility, so leaving that demonic saint to restrain the Daoist Immortal Sect is also a good choice. There's no need to confront it head-on.
After a moment, a terrifying divine consciousness descended.
It transformed into a more towering and gigantic ape-like shadow.
"Who is it exactly?"
This ape-like shadow roared deeply, looking at the corpse of the eldest prince, extremely enraged.
It had great expectations for the eldest prince. If all went well, the eldest prince only needed to sleep for another five thousand years.
Then, he would ascend to the level of an ancient sage at the Void Refinement stage.
By then, the demon saint's nest in the wilderness would have two demon saints presiding over it.
Perhaps they could even lay claim to the Central Divine Continent.
But now.
The eldest prince was dead.
Many of its plans had been shattered.
For a short period of time, among the countless demonic beasts in the wilderness, there was not a single one with the potential to ascend to become a demon saint.
"Hmm?"
The ape-like shadow glanced towards the distance, where several trembling demonic beasts were.
Then, raising its right hand, it brought those demonic beasts before it.
"Soul search."
The ape-like shadow's thoughts moved slightly.
The scenes that several demonic beasts had just witnessed appeared clearly before it.
"Such strength?"
The ape-like shadow saw Lin Yuan trample the eldest prince to death with just a few steps, and its expression changed slightly.
"Without involving any profound rules, just the power of the physical body alone. This method comes from the human race's body refinement. Could this person be a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"
The ape-like shadow muttered to itself.
Body cultivators are naturally skilled in physical combat, and their combat power at the same level is considered extremely strong. However, they have always been relegated to being a subsidiary of the immortal path for various reasons.
"The Daoist Immortal Sect? Has it cultivated a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"
The ape-like shadow's face turned ugly.
Regardless, body cultivators are still part of the immortal path.
Now that a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage has appeared, it can only think of the Daoist Immortal Sect.
Half a day later, a gleam of light crossed an infinite distance.
It descended in the buffer zone between the Central Divine Continent and the wilderness.
"The offspring of the demon saint is dead?"
The Sect Master of the Daoist Immortal Sect, Mu Qingliu, frowned.
"Sect Master, at that time..."
Jun Xiaoyao immediately began to explain.
Upon sensing that the eldest prince of the barbaric demonic beasts was about to awaken, Jun Xiaoyao instructed many disciples of the sect to temporarily return to the Central Divine Continent.
In addition, Jun Xiaoyao also used a secret technique.
To remotely observe the situation of the thousand-zhang giant ape.
As a result, he discovered an incredibly shocking scene.
The eldest prince, towering a thousand zhang high.
Was actually trampled to death by a 'tiny figure'.
Jun Xiaoyao did not see the appearance of that 'tiny figure'.
Because the person was overflowing with vitality and blood, rejecting any magical techniques.
"Let me see."
The Sect Master of the sect, Mu Qingliu, arrived at the scene.
Then, using the mirror light of the Taihao Mirror, he began to 'retrace' the scene.
This is the ability of the Taihao Mirror, which can forcefully 'retrace' a certain segment of the past in an area.
Of course, the 'retraced' scene cannot involve the Void Refinement level.
Ancient sages have already begun to influence the surrounding world, making such 'retracing' methods ineffective against them.
"Hmm."
The scene shifted.
The next moment, the scene was filled with endless vitality and blood.
"Sure enough, it's an ancient sage, and also a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage."
The Sect Master of the sect, Mu Qingliu, remained silent. Although the scene did not specifically trace back to anything, based on Jun Xiaoyao's explanation and the residual aura on the scene.
He had already inferred many things.
"A body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"
"When did such a powerful individual appear in our Central Divine Continent?"
Mu Qingliu furrowed his brows in thought.
He didn't know whether this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage was a friend or foe of their Daoist Immortal Sect.
But without a doubt, a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, skilled in combat, could completely influence the balance of power among the current four major forces.
In the north of the Divine Continent, in the Blood Demon Sea.
The Lord of the Blood Demon sat cross-legged on a small island deep in the Blood Demon Sea.
Although he was also an ancient sage at the Void Refinement stage, he was integrated with the Blood Demon Sea.
As a result, he possessed almost indestructible abilities, but at the same time, he lost his freedom, unable to leave the range of the Blood Demon Sea.
Of course, If willing to pay the price.
The Lord of the Blood Demon could also enter the Central Divine Continent.
That is by activating the Blood Demon Sea, causing it to expand.
As long as the Blood Demon Sea becomes large enough to cover the entire world.
Then whether or not the Lord of the Blood Demon can leave the restriction of the Blood Demon Sea doesn't matter.
"Huh?"
"News from the demon saint?"
The Lord of the Blood Demon's eyebrows rose.
In order to jointly resist the Daoist Immortal Sect.
The demon saint's nest, the Blood Demon Sea, and the Ghostly Palace have always had the habit of sharing intelligence.
The enemy's enemy is a friend.
The Daoist Immortal Sect is too powerful.
If they don't unite, they will only hasten their downfall.
"A body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage has appeared?"
The Lord of the Blood Demon's expression grew solemn.
The limit of the Body Cultivation lineage is the Divine Transformation stage, so they have always been subservient to the Immortal Path. Many cultivators have regarded Body Cultivation techniques as a means of strengthening the body.
Even so, if not relying on external factors, cultivators at the same level of Body Cultivation are never weaker than cultivators at the same level of cultivation.
In some aspects, they may even be stronger.
There is a very low probability of manifesting physical divine abilities.
Cultivators at the Divine Transformation stage have a chance to master physical divine abilities.
In theory, cultivators at the Void Refinement stage have a higher possibility of mastering physical divine abilities.
"Where did this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage come from, and is it a trump card of the Daoist Immortal Sect?"
The Lord of the Blood Demon was eager to know the identity of this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.
If this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage truly came from the Daoist Immortal Sect, in the future, for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the Blood Demon Sea, the demon saint's nest, and the Ghostly Palace would all be unable to turn the tables and could only survive in their respective territories.
In the south of the Divine Continent, at the Ghostly Palace.
"A body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"
The thin man sitting on the throne felt a headache coming on.
In recent decades, the world has changed too much.
First, a master emerged from the East Sea, possessing the strength of a quasi-ancient sage.
And now, another cultivator at the Void Refinement stage has appeared.
As the king of the ghost cultivators, how could the thin man not know the strength of a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?
"Where did these people come from?"
The thin man rubbed his brow.
Leaving aside the master of the one in the East Sea for now, with quasi-ancient sage-level strength, he might be a hidden expert.
But a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?
Hasn't this thing never appeared since ancient times?
There should at least be some signs, right?
Such as first giving birth to a batch of Divine Transformation stage body cultivators.
Then, from among these Divine Transformation stage body cultivators, giving birth to a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.
That's the way it should go, step by step.
"I need to investigate."
"What is the stance of this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?"
The thin man did not believe that this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage came from the Daoist Immortal Sect.
With the domineering style of the latter, if they had produced a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage themselves, they would have eagerly publicized it long ago.
How could there be no news at all until now?
In the Cloud Mist Paradise, Lin Yuan quietly appeared in the cultivation chamber.
"No one has noticed."
Lin Yuan glanced at the situation in the Cloud Mist Paradise after more than ten days of absence.
Everything was normal, with no one else coming to visit, and Chunhua and Qiuyue were still faithfully guarding outside.
"Physical Divine Ability."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he faintly felt the throbbing deep in his bloodline, almost fully formed, ready to 'break out of its shell' at any moment.
"What kind of physical divine ability is it?"
Lin Yuan's expression was expectant, quietly waiting.
Half a day later, the physical divine ability was fully formed.
In an instant, a large amount of information about the 'physical divine ability' flooded into Lin Yuan's mind.
"Physical Divine Ability—Blood Rebirth?"
Lin Yuan's spirits lifted.
This physical divine ability could be considered all-encompassing.
Whether for survival or for combat, it would be extremely useful.
According to the introduction of this divine ability, as long as Lin Yuan's body did not completely vanish, as long as there was a drop of blood remaining, he could quickly be reborn.
This was quite terrifying.
For someone like Lin Yuan, who possessed a Martial Path Evolutionist's divine soul, even if his body collapsed, his divine soul still retained the power to fight.
But for the vast majority of Sixth-tier Evolutionists, if their bodies were gone, while they wouldn't exactly be dead, the strength of their spiritual and mental bodies would be greatly diminished.
"I need to first understand the principles and essence of this divine ability."
Lin Yuan's thoughts converged as he began to carefully study it with his unparalleled comprehension.
While the divine ability Blood Rebirth was excellent, it came from the bloodline power of the person of this world, Jun Wuji.
In other words, when Lin Yuan's residency time was up and he returned to the main world, even if he returned to being a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, the awakened physical divine ability might not necessarily be Blood Rebirth.
After all, their bodies and bloodlines were different.
However, as long as he understood the essence of the divine ability Blood Rebirth, no matter where he was, Lin Yuan would be able to use this divine ability.
So-called divine abilities, so-called talents, were just a complex form of technique.
Understanding the essence would allow them to be easily used.
This was the frightening aspect of unparalleled comprehension.
Studying all things.
And then applying them.
At the Daoist Immortal Sect, in the highest hall.
The Sect Master Mu Qingliu sat expressionless.
"We can't wait any longer."
Mu Qingliu stood up, muttering to himself in a low voice.
A trace of a body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage has appeared in the buffer zone between the Central Divine Continent and the wilderness.
This made Mu Qingliu somewhat uneasy and felt a hint of pressure.
If this body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage were to join forces with the Ghostly Palace, the Blood Demon Sea, and the demon saint's nest, although it would still be unable to shake the foundation of the Daoist Immortal Sect, it would cause chaos in the world.
The Daoist Immortal Sect urgently needs a second ancient sage to preside over it.
Originally, Mu Qingliu wanted to observe for a while longer and choose the final successor between Jun Dongjin and Mu Mengting.
But now, there was no longer so much time.
The resources and means currently possessed by the Daoist Immortal Sect are only enough to forcibly push one person to the Void Refinement stage.
"As long as the sect has two ancient sages presiding over it, even if that body cultivator at the Void Refinement stage joins forces with those three old guys, it will be of no avail."
Mu Qingliu thought to himself silently.
The effects of having two ancient sages presiding over the Daoist Immortal Mountain were not as simple as one plus one equals two.
"Jun Dongjin, Mu Mengting."
The names of these two individuals flashed through Mu Qingliu's mind, and he had already made a decision.
