Chapter 74

Seizing the opportunity while he is weak.

Facing this terrifying corpse puppet, Lin Xuan held nothing back, unleashing his strongest methods from the start. His overwhelming strength left the corpse puppet of the Su family’s ancestor unable to react before it was severely injured.

“Damn it!”

As he watched the massive fist coming at him, the corpse puppet felt a mix of shock and anger, but mostly it was the terrifying aura enveloping him that sent chills down his spine!

Boom!

This punch seemed capable of shattering the heavens and earth, creating a huge hole as a destructive aura nearly obliterated most of the corpse puppet’s body.

If it weren’t for the Su family ancestor’s corpse puppet being quick enough to evade, that punch would surely have cost it its life!

However, even so, the punch had shattered a large part of its form.

Lin Xuan’s white hair billowed as his previously gentle face turned crimson. The terrifying aura of his blood and energy surged like a beacon, and the War God’s Manual within him was operating at its peak, exuding an overwhelming divine might, like an ancient war god descending.

Such a terrifying state was enough for him to tear apart a peak expert of the Divine Power Realm!

Unfortunately, this could only be maintained for a minute; after that, even with the enhancement of the War God’s Manual, his body would no longer be able to sustain such an explosive output.

“One minute… is enough!”

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves and transformed into an afterimage.

“Divine Power: Blood Eye!”

On the charred forehead of the corpse puppet, which had been blasted by the Tao Fire, a blood-red flesh lump suddenly appeared. The lump slowly opened and closed, and within a few feet of the corpse puppet, a blood-red barrier began to rise.

“Close your eyes obediently!”

Lin Xuan instantly arrived above it, giving no chance for a reaction, and directly punched down at the blood-red lump.

The blood-red barrier that was about to rise shattered instantly.

The flames attached to Lin Xuan’s fist burned the soul of the Su family ancestor that was clinging to the corpse puppet, causing deep, bone-chilling pain.

“Die, you should die!”

As the dust settled, the face of the Su family’s first ancestor, now reduced to a pulp from Lin Xuan’s strike, roared. His body emanated an eerie red light, with his patched skin appearing like mysterious runes all over.

“No, the one who should die is you!”

Lin Xuan felt intense soreness in his body from exceeding his limits. His gaze was cold as he took out a three-foot-long sword shining with golden light from his storage space. The brilliant divine light illuminated the dark cave, while the barely perceivable sword qi obliterated the falling rubble.

“Lofty heavens and earth, righteous qi endures, not seeking to slay immortals, but to cut down demons and gods!”

As these resounding words echoed, a vast sword intent surged toward the sky, tearing through the void. A golden sword light fell from the heavens, overwhelming everyone present with an immense pressure that made breathing difficult.

“That is…”

Everyone looked up in astonishment.

“What a terrifying aura; I knew this guy wasn’t using his full strength!”

Li Qiudao, who had just killed a blocking expert at the Qi Sea Realm, had a heavy expression.

“Damn it, Director Qi, we just came to observe the battle; why do you have to kill us all?”

An elder from a prominent family, a powerful expert of the Divine Power Realm, couldn’t help but shout in anger. The gap between those with their own life-bound divine powers and those without was as vast as the sky and the earth!

“Observe? Haha, I, Qi Xuan, suspect you are accomplices of the Su family, plotting a rebellion!”

Holding a divine light-emitting brush, Qi Xuan raised his hand, drawing a fierce beast that charged fearlessly toward the crowd.

“Divine Power: Like a Painting!”

Seeing this terrifying beast charge once again, the trapped experts in the array turned pale.

“Qi Xuan, you scoundrel! The Su family must be out of their minds to rebel! You’re concocting a baseless accusation; do you not fear chaos in the world? Or do you think everyone in the world is a fool?”

“Let us go, and we will definitely not interfere further in this matter!”

Some strong experts shouted. Facing a top expert of the Divine Power Realm who had comprehended a life-bound divine power, they knew they couldn’t compete, and if they continued to entangle, they would likely die here!

“Not a chance!”

“I, Qi Xuan, am just and righteous. If I compromise with you traitors, how can I face my position as the principal of the Dayan Academy?”

Qi Xuan snorted coldly.

If they escaped… where would he refine the elixirs?

With these Divine Power Realm experts dead, relying on the elixirs, the Dayan Academy would produce even more powerful experts of the Divine Power Realm!

These parasites had previously been retained out of fear of shaking the Dayan’s foundation.

Now…

They could be considered purged!

As if sensing Qi Xuan’s murderous intent, the numerous experts of the Divine Power Realm showed despair. They knew that the principal of the Dayan Academy, the Extreme Declaration King, would not let them go!

“Extreme Declaration King, you are truly ruthless!”

“Let’s join forces and strike together; if we can break Qi Xuan’s life-bound brush, the rest is nothing to be feared!”

Everyone joined forces, attempting to break through the layers of the array.

“You underestimate me, Li Qiudao!”

“Though I may not match Brother Lin in strength, when it comes to arrays, the heavens did not create me, Li Qiudao; the arrays are eternal like the night!”

Li Qiudao waved his hand, and several terrifying arrays coalesced once again.

…

Outside, Lin Xuan had no time to concern himself with the battle. At this moment, he unleashed a full-powered attack aimed directly at the Su family’s first ancestor.

The sharp killing intent shone like a blazing sun, dazzling enough to be unendurable.

In an instant, the sword light swallowed the Su family’s first ancestor.

Boom!

A violent explosion erupted, flooding everything from the ground up.

“This time, he should be dead, right?”

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, gazing at the deep pit with a slightly anxious tone. His earlier full-force attack had left him a bit fatigued.

Experts of the Divine Power Realm who had comprehended life-bound divine powers were indeed difficult to deal with. If not for the Tao Fire having a restraining effect on such evil entities like the corpse puppets, winning would have been quite challenging.

Just as Lin Xuan felt he could no longer sense the presence of the Su family’s first ancestor and was about to leave, a red light suddenly shot into his forehead.

The speed was so fast that he couldn’t evade.

“Hahaha, kid, your body is mine now!”

“You’re not even qualified to fight me!”

“Special physique, in the future, I will surely break through to the Soul Palace Realm, establish a dynasty, and seek immortality!”

Suddenly, a mad, ancient laughter echoed in Lin Xuan’s mind.

But soon, the laughter abruptly ceased.

“No, no, what is this?”

“Why, why do you have such a thing within you?”

“Unwilling, I am unwilling!”

The furious roar echoed as Lin Xuan felt a golden paper page explode with terrifying suction in his mind!

The Body Scroll, devouring the spiritual body, was officially formed at this moment!
