Chapter 315: Future Senior Brother (Third update, seeking monthly vote!)

In the Void, the old man riding the Qilin Beast also heard the Sword Cry. Far behind him, a swarm of swords suddenly appeared, whistling over.

The old man's face showed signs of struggle. These swords were all Immortal Swords. If he could collect them and give one to each Disciple, his Great Luo Sword Sect could definitely become the First Sect on Tian Yun Star, surpassing Tian Yunzi!

After struggling for a long time, he finally sighed. He did not dare to block the edge of the Immortal Swords and instead moved to the side to avoid them.

These Immortal Swords contained a Worshipping Sword Soul. If he blocked their path, he would definitely trigger the Qi Mechanism of all the surrounding Flying Swords. At that moment, even with his cultivation, under the siege of those Immortal Swords, even if he didn't die, he would have to flee in panic and quickly return to Tian Yun Star.

In doing so, he would completely lose the chance to obtain the Rain Sword.

Once the swarm of swords passed, the old man immediately followed.

The Void, which was originally extremely dangerous, became safer as waves of sword swarms passed through, causing all Void Creatures to avoid the area. As long as one wasn't extremely unlucky and followed the traces of the Flying Swords, the chance of encountering danger was low.

Thus, many Cultivators, after entering the Void chasing the Immortal Swords, were initially cautious, but after a while, they became bolder and pursued relentlessly.

The dangers within the Void, besides the strange creatures, also included the inability to discern direction. But now, with the Immortal Swords guiding them, there was no need to judge direction; they just had to follow.

However, the speed of the Immortal Swords was extremely fast, and not everyone could keep up. Consequently, the Cultivators who entered the Void were separated by skill level.

Some Cultivators, lacking foresight, immediately grew greedy upon seeing the swarm of Immortal Swords and attempted to take one or two. But none of these people survived; all were killed by the Immortal Swords.

Although people died, others continued to disbelieve and attempted to seize the treasures using their own strength.

At this moment, in one location within the Void, seven or eight Cultivators spread out, each casting Spells. Not far in front of them, a swarm of swords whistled closer.

Among these Cultivators, there were some who possessed certain Divine Abilities. The moment the Immortal Swords flew over, several bangs were heard, and five people were instantly pierced through the heart and died. The remaining few shouted and used all their strength to Restrict three straggling Immortal Swords.

Sweat beaded on the foreheads of these individuals. The three Immortal Swords they had Restricted emitted powerful Sword Rays and struck out frantically.

"Hold steady! Based on this old man's analysis, if we persist long enough, we will definitely obtain the Immortal Swords!" an old man among them shouted, his face pale.

Although the others were suffering internally, their eyes were filled with excitement.

Just then, another swarm of swords whistled past in the distance, but since they were not close, the few Cultivators only glanced at them before focusing all their strength on Restricting the three Immortal Swords.

However, those three Immortal Swords immediately let out a fierce Sword Cry. Suddenly, the swarm of swords that had whistled past in the distance stopped instantly, turned around, and rushed toward the group.

The expressions of the group changed drastically. The old man immediately let go, abandoned Restricting the Immortal Swords, and fled in panic. The already unstable Restriction instantly collapsed.

Where the swords crossed, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Before long, the swarm of swords flew away. Every member of the group, including the old man who had fled early, had died.

A Black Light flashed past the bodies. Two of their Storage Pouches, untouched by the Sword Qi and perfectly preserved, were swept up by the Black Light and vanished.

In the distance, the Black Light transformed into a massive compass. Chi Hu stood to the side, holding two Storage Pouches, and laughed, "Brother Zeng, this is the thirty-seventh Storage Pouch. We've collected quite a bit along the way."

Wang Lin chuckled. Along the way, the two of them had seen many Cultivators who attempted to seize the Immortal Swords, but none succeeded; all died. Some of their Storage Pouches were destroyed by Sword Qi, while others remained intact and fell into their hands.

Their Star Compass was extremely fast, even comparable to, if not faster than, the Immortal Swords. After Wang Lin noticed this anomaly, he immediately followed closely. Since he was fast, he naturally wasn't afraid of losing them. While maintaining the lead, he collected some easy gains along the way, which made Chi Hu quite excited.

Throughout their journey, Wang Lin controlled the Star Compass while Chi Hu grabbed the Storage Pouches; their coordination was extremely proficient.

In addition, they encountered some Cultivators who recognized their Star Compass and attempted to seize it. Working together, Wang Lin and Chi Hu ensured that everyone who tried to steal the Compass died.

At this moment, the two of them turned into a Black Light and sped away, quickly catching up to the swarm of swords ahead and following them from a distance.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a gloomy expression was stepping on a Round Plate, chasing a swarm of Immortal Swords relentlessly. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he spotted the Star Compass beneath Wang Lin and Chi Hu in the distance. His eyes immediately narrowed, and with a stomp of his foot, the Round Plate vanished, and he lunged toward Wang Lin and Chi Hu.

"Fellow Daoists, would you mind letting me hitch a ride?" Although his words were polite, his foot stomped down aggressively.

"Soul Transformation Late Stage!" Chi Hu's eyes flickered, and he whispered.

Wang Lin looked normal and smiled, "Whether we fight or flee, Brother Chi Hu can decide with a single word." Wang Lin hadn't fully activated the speed of the Star Compass yet. If he activated it fully, shaking off this Soul Transformation Late Stage Cultivator would be effortless.

Chi Hu laughed heartily, abruptly stood up, clenched his fists, and said, "Brother Zeng, even in the Soul Transformation Early Stage, you dared to fight Hong Die. With my Soul Transformation Middle Stage cultivation, I also want to fight this Fellow Daoist in the Late Stage. It won't be too late to run after I've fought!" With that, he stomped his foot, suddenly flying off the Star Compass, and shouted, "If you want to hitch a ride on the Compass, let me see your strength first!"

The middle-aged man's expression remained gloomy, and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. Instead of stopping, he sped up and said, "So you're from the Giant Demon Race. Get lost!"

As he spoke, he casually pointed his right index finger forward.

"Hiss!"

A stream of gray qi immediately transformed into an arrow and shot toward Chi Hu. The moment this gray qi appeared, a wave of Killing Intent instantly enveloped the surroundings.

"Concept of Slaughter?" Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he immediately recognized the opponent's Concept. The density of this Killing Intent was rare among what Wang Lin had witnessed, save for his Main Body's own.

"Killing Intent!" Chi Hu roared. He clenched his fists and smashed them together in front of him. Immediately, a surge of Arrogant Qi emanated from Chi Hu. His entire body let out cracking sounds, suddenly swelling several times in size, turning him into a giant several Zhang high. The Axe shape on his glabella flickered intensely.

This Axe was a major treasure of his clan. Unlike treasures like the Star Compass, which were not very useful within the clan, this item was not physical. Even when it was shattered during his fight with Hong Die while possessed by Zhou Yi, it could condense again. However, its power would weaken slightly every time it shattered.

The Axe materialized and was grasped by Chi Hu. Like a Demon God, he stepped forward and chopped the gray qi with his Axe.

"Bang!"

The gray qi collapsed and dispersed. The Axe in Chi Hu's hand trembled slightly, and his body retreated several Zhang. Veins bulged on his body, and he laughed loudly, "What a blast! Again!"

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he stopped moving. He sneered and slapped his Storage Pouch. Immediately, a Crystal Stone flew out. He pointed his right hand at the Crystal Stone, and it instantly melted into a liquid. When he squeezed it, the liquid immediately took on a Rhombus Shape. He flicked it forward and shouted, "Try touching this!"

The moment he saw the Crystal Stone, Chi Hu felt an immediate chill throughout his body. All sorts of murderous thoughts instantly surged, nearly disordering his mind, causing a shock in his heart.

Wang Lin's gaze immediately focused, staring at the Crystal Stone, and he quickly said, "Chi Hu, let's go!"

Chi Hu laughed heartily, turned around without a word, stepped onto the Star Compass, and said, "I can't beat you, I'm done playing!"

The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth curled into a cold smile. He pointed his right hand, and the rhombus-shaped Crystal Stone sped up even more, whistling as it shot directly toward the Star Compass.

Wang Lin's Divine Thought moved, and the Star Compass immediately flashed into the distance and sped away. Although the Crystal Stone was fast, it couldn't outpace the Star Compass.

The middle-aged man's expression changed. He immediately flew forward, grabbed the Crystal Stone, and chased after them relentlessly.

After a long time, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed. He stopped, stared at the spot where the Star Compass had vanished, and lightly snorted.

"Master calculated that the Rain Immortal Sword would appear and that the Great Luo Sword Sect had a chance to obtain it, so he told me to do my best to stop them, lest the balance of power on Tian Yun Star be lost. If not for that, I would definitely have had a good time playing with these two juniors! Hmph, although the Great Luo Sword Sect is on the same level as my Tian Yun Sect, as long as Master Tian Yunzi makes a move, why should I even bother looking at them!"

The man coldly glanced into the distance, then turned and left.

"That junior on the Star Compass, judging by his expression, must have recognized what the Crystal Stone was. He has some knowledge!"

"Brother Zeng, what was that rhombus-shaped Crystal Stone? Why did you tell me not to fight? Although that man was Soul Transformation Late Stage, my Giant Demon Race has unique innate abilities. Even if I can't beat him, I'm not afraid!" Chi Hu asked while sitting cross-legged on the Star Compass.

While controlling the Star Compass, Wang Lin said, "Killing can condense Killing Intent. If there is too much Killing Intent, it turns into Evil Qi. If this Evil Qi condenses into a liquid, and then condenses even further, it becomes a crystal. This Evil Qi Blood Crystal—if you haven't Cultivated the Concept of Slaughter, touching it will definitely damage your Primordial Spirit with Killing Intent!"

Chi Hu fell silent, recalling the fluctuation of his emotions when the Crystal Stone appeared earlier, and nodded.

"That middle-aged man's cultivation is slightly stronger than Hong Die's, especially his Killing Intent. I fear even Hong Die would struggle to block it. I wonder if the Main Body could withstand this Evil Qi Crystal Stone if it appeared… Main Body… I wonder how much Spiritual Power is needed for the third Transformation… Returning to Vermilion Bird Star this time, with Immortal Jade's Immortal Qi to breathe, I wonder if the Main Body's cultivation can speed up a bit." Wang Lin mused internally.

The Star Compass was extremely fast. After making a wide circle, it followed the swarm of Immortal Swords from another position. Gradually, an Immortal Realm Fragment appeared in the Void ahead.

Inside this Fragment, dense Sword Qi emanated, like Ten Thousand Rays of Light, making one feel needle pricks on the body even before getting close.

Countless Immortal Swords whistled over. This place was precisely where the Rain Sword Soul resided!——

Three updates are complete. There will be one more set of three updates this week. I will take two days off before the next burst. The monthly votes aren't coming fiercely, Fellow Daoists, please stoke the fire!
