Chapter 7: The Ancient Divine Being
Yang Prefecture, Fire Departure Sect.
"Lin Bai, if you wish to die today, I shall grant your wish."
The Flame Sect Leader looked at the three Grand Elders who had fallen one after another, unable to defeat Lin Bai. His patience had reached its limit.
Cultivators who had reached the Legendary Realm were at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World. Generally, they seldom took action—not out of disdain, but out of fear.
There were not many cultivators in the Legendary Realm; they were typically Sovereigns or Grand Elders from the major sects across the Nine Provinces. If such peak experts were to engage in battle and sustain injuries, it was highly likely that they would be taken advantage of by others.
Thus, unless absolutely necessary or without alternatives, they would refrain from acting and endure until the last moment.
The Blazing Fire Palm would naturally not engage in battle before their own gates, risking the foundation of the Fire Departure Sect. He soared into the air and landed in a cavern, then shouted, "Lin Bai, come here and die."
Lin Bai looked up, quietly observing the cave. Longing Tears was gripped in his hand, emanating a substantial emerald glow, resembling a drop of melted gold.
Without a hint of hesitation, Lin Bai's expression remained calm. He stepped into the void and crossed a thousand miles in an instant, entering the cave.
Currently, the Fire Departure Sect's foundation consisted of only one remaining Grand Elder, along with several elders and disciples.
The last Grand Elder gazed at the corpses of his three senior brothers on the ground, filled with sorrow.
"Now that Lin Bai is trapped by the Sovereign, he is undoubtedly doomed. I see no one left who can hinder our progress. Disciples, follow me to Chang'an and destroy the Tang Dynasty. Then we shall return and annihilate Solitary Moon City."
"Kill."
The disciples of the Fire Departure Sect roared in anger. They had not originally possessed such fervent fighting spirit, but the obstruction by Lin Bai and the successive defeats and slayings of the Grand Elders had completely ignited the hatred and fury deep within them.
Under the leadership of this Grand Elder, the disciples of the Fire Departure Sect spread out their cultivation, transforming into waves of Divine Radiance that surged into the sky. The massive figure that had blocked their path was no longer there. Who else could stop them now?
Suddenly, a sword appeared in the Void.
This sword was as imposing as a mountain, named Mountain.
Solitary Moon City possessed two swords; one was named Great River, renowned across the nine provinces and revered as Swordsmanship Supreme. The other was lesser-known because it had never made an appearance in the world.
Xu Mo Wen, the embodiment of Mountain's path, stood firm with his sword, blocking the entrance to the Fire Departure Sect.
As Lin Bai's senior brother in Solitary Moon City, Xu Mo Wen had only shown promise in his youth. After mysteriously withdrawing from the Jiuzhou Gathering Conference, he gradually faded from fame while guarding the ancestral hall during the subsequent invasion of the demon clan.
The disciples flying ahead crashed against the giant sword Mountain, each one rebounding violently. Their Primordial Spirits shattered, their cultivation wasted, leaving them as mere mortals.
"I didn't expect you to have reached the Legendary Realm as well."
The remaining Grand Elder of the Fire Departure Sect displayed a look of surprise. He waved his hand, signaling the elders of the Fire Departure Sect to lead their disciples back inside.
The Fire Departure Sect had the Mountain Guardian Formation, capable of resisting the might of legendary cultivators.
"However, you have only just stepped into the Cave Profound Realm. Your foundation is unstable; you are no match for an old man like me." The Grand Elder of the Fire Departure Sect discerned his weakness.
At this moment, Xu Mo Wen finally appeared because he had to endure until now. While Lin Bai blocked the entrance to the Fire Departure Sect, he had been frantically breaking through to that realm.
Cultivation emphasizes gradual progress. For someone like Xu Mo Wen, forcing a breakthrough without perfecting his cultivation would leave him with injuries on his path. Thus, he would be destined to remain at the Legendary Realm for his entire life.
For Xu Mo Wen, this was a tremendous sacrifice. However, there was not a trace of regret in his heart; life was like this, how could everything go smoothly with the Golden Scepter?
The sword of the Mountain transformed into a human figure. It was the old man guarding the shrine in Solitary Moon City. Compared to Sword Saint Lin Bai's ethereal demeanor, Xu Mo Wen resembled an old farmer toiling in the fields.
At this moment, the Grand Elder of the Fire Departure Sect finally understood why Lin Bai had rushed forward so resolutely; he had already known that Xu Mo Wen had successfully broken through to the Cave Profound realm.
"Indeed, I have just stepped into the Cave Profound realm, neither early nor late. I have some injuries from my path, but against you, old man, it should be enough," Xu Mo Wen said calmly.
"You little brat, prepare to die."
The Grand Elder of the Fire Departure Sect unleashed the might of Blazing Fire and charged at Xu Mo Wen. The peak battle of the Legendary Realm was about to commence.
In the Tang Dynasty, Hexi County.
Once the battle between both sides commenced, there was no stopping it.
The Spirit Monkey grew braver with each fight, expanding its advantage. Jiang Wannian found himself under constant pressure and could only rely on throwing out various magical treasures to fend off the terrifying punches of the Spirit Monkey.
These thrown magical treasures were not ordinary; at least they were eighth-grade. Unfortunately, due to the urgency of the moment, they did not unleash their full power.
With a single punch, a treasure shattered.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
One by one, the magical treasures exploded, radiating divine light like fireworks blooming in the night void, dazzling and brilliant.
Relying on these treasures for defense, Jiang Wannian finally created some distance from the Spirit Monkey. He glanced back at Heishan not far behind and immediately shouted, "Heishan! Come over and help me catch this monkey!"
"Heishan," said, "Brother Jiang, to bring this battle to an end sooner, hold on a little longer. Let me first take down Lin Feng and eliminate these ants."
A roar echoed through the air as Qiongqi unleashed a furious cry, stomping the ground and causing the mountains to tremble. Heishan swung his massive fist toward Lin Feng.
Without Longing Tears in hand, Lin Feng found himself unable to defend against the attack and had no choice but to summon the Blood Devouring Cauldron.
When Qiongqi's enormous fist struck the Blood Devouring Cauldron, the sound of impact resonated, sending Lin Feng and the cauldron flying through the air.
Heishan observed that the cauldron remained unscathed despite the powerful blow and remarked, "Indeed, it is made from the materials of an Imperial Artifact; its very essence possesses such divine might. I must have this cauldron today."
"That depends on whether you have the ability to take it."
"You may look down upon your peers, but before me, you are still an ant."
Heishan attacked once more. Lin Feng clutched the Ancient Cauldron to evade the blows, using it as a shield when he couldn't dodge in time. If it weren't for his own formidable physique, anyone else would have been killed by now.
"This won't do; am I really expected to wait until Jiang Wannian is defeated?"
As Lin Feng fought with all his might, he dared not show any weakness. At the same time, he pondered other strategies. His cultivation was still lacking; to contend with a Master Realm powerhouse, he needed a powerful artifact.
The Blood Devouring Cauldron had yet to be refined into a spiritual weapon and could only unleash the power of a Ninth-Grade Treasure, which was insufficient to withstand Heishan's strength. While they battled, their soldiers fought fiercely without pause, both sides suffering casualties.
Elsewhere in the battle, Wind Spirit faced off against the Barbarian Tribe's Barbarian General, with neither side gaining an advantage. Chen Guang and Mulan's right flank remained inactive for now, while the demon forces also held back their right flank.
After experiencing countless violent impacts, Lin Feng's powerful body began to sustain injuries, and he was coughing up blood. In a moment of urgency, he glanced over at Jiang Wannian.
Jiang Wannian was also coughing blood, continuously calling for help from Heishan. However, Heishan was solely focused on killing Lin Feng to obtain the Shoushan Bronze Cauldron and completely ignored Jiang Wannian.
As the battle intensified, Jiang Wannian grew increasingly alarmed, realizing that if this continued, he might lose his life. Doubts about his survival began to creep into his mind.
Lin Feng's body started to show cracks, and a wave of intense pain swept through him. If this went on, it seemed his body would shatter into pieces.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wannian was desperately fleeing from the relentless attacks, realizing that he might not last until help arrived.
"Is it only up to me now?"
For the first time, Lin Feng activated his extraordinary manifestations—not just one, but five.
Desolate Smoke in the Desert, a metallic manifestation from Solitary Moon City.
Blazing Fire gave birth to Red Peony, a fire-based manifestation from Fire Departure Sect.
Azure Cloud Steed Emerges with Horns, a water-based manifestation from Azure Cloud Sect.
The earth froze and blossomed with spring flowers, a soil-based manifestation from Laojun Pavilion.
The wind rustled as the trees whispered, a wood-based manifestation from Divine Talisman Sect.
With all five elemental manifestations activated, Lin Feng's personal momentum reached its peak, causing the ground to tremble.
Heishan stared in disbelief at this incredible scene, stunned into silence. "You... you can actually unleash five manifestations? How... how is this possible?"
In the distance, Jiang Wannian was also stunned by the spectacle unleashed by Lin Feng. However, amidst his astonishment, he found it hard to believe, "How do you possess the Manifestation of Divine Powers from our sect? And what about the Azure Cloud Sect, Laojun Pavilion, and Divine Talisman Sect? How can you have so many sects' Manifestation of Divine Powers?"
Each sect's Manifestation of Divine Powers was a closely guarded secret. Yet for the Guan Family, acquiring these secrets was not an insurmountable task.
"It is said that only in Ancient Times could a strong individual manifest five different phenomena. I never expected to witness such a prodigy in this era."
"This child is extraordinary; he may very well break the curse of the Cultivation World and become a Saint Emperor. It’s a pity he is not of our demon race. Such a shame."
After Lin Feng activated the five phenomena, he transformed his physical body into a sword, unleashing the Great River Sword Technique.
With five phenomena protecting him, Lin Feng launched his attack using the Great River Sword Technique, channeling his cultivation to deliver a strike powerful enough to threaten even a Master Realm expert.
The only regret was that he did not have Longing Tears in hand. If he had it, he could have severely injured Heishan.
Seeing the five phenomena from Ancient Times appear before him, Heishan felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy and no longer dared to underestimate Lin Feng. In all the millennia of the Cultivation World, only Lin Feng had achieved this feat. Heishan began to admire Lin Feng somewhat.
Heishan gripped his demon blade and swung it fiercely at Lin Feng, channeling his strongest cultivation.
The demon blade clashed with Lin Feng's physical manifestation of the Great River Sword Technique.
Boom...
The wood attribute phenomenon of the Divine Talisman Sect shattered. Then the earth attribute phenomenon of Laojun Pavilion collapsed, followed by the phenomenon of Azure Cloud Sect, and then that of Fire Departure Sect.
Only the phenomenon from Solitary Moon City remained around Lin Feng.
"Annihilate."
A loud shout echoed as Heishan unleashed his full power.
Bang...
The anomaly in Solitary Moon City and the Desert collapsed, leaving only Lone Smoke. That Lone Smoke was the Great River Sword Technique transformed from Lin Feng's physical body. Using oneself as a sword was the strongest and simplest yet most domineering swordsmanship that Lin Feng had comprehended.
"Destroy it again."
Seeing that Lone Smoke was about to escape from under his blade and enter his body, how could Heishan allow a junior to approach him? That would be an utterly humiliating situation. (To be continued...)
