Chapter 570, Chapter 579-580: Ling Tianhou’s Sword Qi (Two Chapters Combined)

In the imperial capital of Tianyao City, a soft chuckle echoed from within an exceptionally elegant palace.

"Mofei, that little fellow, has requested to fight Mo Lihai earlier, using his military merits in Huoyao Prefecture as a reason for me not to refuse. This child is quite interesting; granted!"

"This… Your Majesty, if the two of them set a precedent, I fear the other Demon Generals…" Another aged voice emerged from the palace.

"If others also have ten million battle merits, then it shall be granted!"

"…Yes!"

A moment later, an old man walked out of the palace. He held a memorial in his hand, shook his head slightly, and hurried away.

The date for the Demon General Battle was drawing nearer, and the entire Tianyao City was enveloped in a suffocating atmosphere. Almost every day, there were constant skirmishes.

"This is a game!" Wang Lin sat by the river, putting down his wine pot, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky, and muttered to himself.

"A game in the eyes of the Demon Emperor… From the Demon Emperor's perspective, outsiders using the opportunity of the Demon General Battle to fight each other for a single goal—this is the best game…" Wang Lin took a sip of wine, his eyes clear.

He was silent for a moment, then stood up and gradually walked away into the twilight.

This was already the seventh day; there were eight days left until the Demon General Battle!

At dusk, perhaps because of the rather oppressive atmosphere in Tianyao City recently, the pedestrians on the street gradually thinned out. A man in green robes, a hundred zhang outside Mo Manor, walked step by step towards Mo Manor.

Behind him, he carried a great sword. His steps were steady, his face devoid of expression. Step by step, he approached Mo Manor. As he drew closer, a faint Immortal Power gradually diffused from behind him.

At the same time, an oppressive aura enveloped the entire Mo Manor.

Inside Mo Manor.

Mo Lihai was in secluded cultivation in the secret chamber. Before him, seventeen palm-sized puppets flickered with an eerie glow, surrounding him.

Wafts of Demonic Qi emanated from Mo Lihai's body, connecting with the seventeen puppets, forming a perfect cycle.

At this moment, Mo Lihai suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning, as if it could penetrate the secret chamber, perceiving the green-robed man outside Mo Manor.

The man let out a soft 'hmm,' a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Without the slightest pause in his steps, he arrived outside the Mo Manor gate. Without him even casting any Divine Ability, the Mo Manor gate silently collapsed, turning into countless fragments that swept backward.

Amidst the flying fragments, two muffled groans were heard. Two Mo Manor soldiers exploded into large clouds of blood mist with loud bangs, flung far into the manor.

"Great Luo Sword Sect, Twelve Sword Sages, Wei Goat, requests an audience with Lord Mo Lihai!"

A calm voice emerged from his mouth. His steps did not falter as he directly entered Mo Manor, heading towards the secret chamber where Mo Lihai was in secluded cultivation.

Countless soldiers and Mo Lihai's subordinates immediately appeared. However, as this person advanced, anyone who entered within ten zhang of him would immediately collapse, silently turning into a blood mist.

Along the way, only 'bang bang' sounds echoed. No one could stop this person for even half a step. Even some rockeries and buildings around them collapsed and shattered like the Mo Manor gate.

Just then, a short figure appeared in front. After appearing, this person let out a low roar and took a step forward. With this step, his entire body's Demonic Power instantly spread out, attempting to resist the person from the Great Luo Sword Sect.

The man from the Great Luo Sword Sect shook his head slightly, his steps unwavering, continuing forward. With his steps, the short person's face turned pale. He had a feeling that he wasn't facing a person, but a sword!

A sharp sword with a chilling, exposed edge!

The short person involuntarily retreated several zhang. Just then, a hand pressed on his shoulder. The short person steadied himself and let out a deep breath.

Behind him, three figures appeared. All three were white-haired old men. They stood there, coldly looking at the person from the Great Luo Sword Sect.

The man from the Great Luo Sword Sect's gaze fell upon the three elders. He smiled slightly and continued forward.

The three elders' faces showed grave expressions. Just as they were about to unleash their Divine Abilities, a low voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Who sent you!" The voice was filled with authority. The three elders immediately respectfully made way, revealing Mo Lihai's tall figure behind them.

Mo Lihai gazed at the youth from the Great Luo Sword Sect, his eyes like torches. At this moment, the Aura he displayed was even more intense than when he faced Wang Lin in Ancient Demon City back then.

The man from the Great Luo Sword Sect's eyes flashed with brilliance, his steps halted, and he slowly said, "Demon General Mofei!"

Mo Lihai frowned and demanded, "What is it!"

"On behalf of Lord Mofei, to deliver a Challenge Letter to General Mo!" The man said calmly, waving his right hand forward. A golden light immediately flashed out and stopped before Mo Lihai.

Mo Lihai's expression was grim as he looked at the golden letter before him.

On it, there was only one word: Battle!

"Three days from now, outside the Ancient Dao Pavilion!" The man from the Great Luo Sword Sect said this and turned to leave.

However, almost as soon as he turned around, his body instantly stiffened, and a strong aura suddenly erupted from him. The intensity of this aura far exceeded its level when he first entered Mo Manor.

His eyes burst with a brilliant light as he looked at a slender figure a hundred zhang ahead, and he said in a deep voice, "Purple Lineage Seventh Son, Wang Lin!"

Mo Lihai only noticed Wang Lin's appearance at this moment, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Lin didn't even glance at him and walked forward. His pace wasn't fast, but in the eyes of the Great Luo Sword Sect man, it immediately stirred a hint of anger.

"Rumor has it that the Purple Lineage Seventh Son is arrogant; seeing him today, it is indeed so!" The Great Luo Sword Sect man said coldly.

Wang Lin seemed not to have heard him and walked towards him. The Great Luo Sword Sect man's entire body's Aura instantly surged forth, like a drawn sword, locking onto Wang Lin.

Just as his entire body's Aura reached its peak, Wang Lin walked past him without the slightest pause, crossing paths with him.

The Great Luo Sword Sect man was startled, but immediately, his anger intensified. He suddenly turned around, looked at Wang Lin walking into the distance, and shouted, "Wang Lin, did you hear what I said!"

Wang Lin's steps remained steady as he headed towards his residence.

A cold glint appeared in the Great Luo Sword Sect man's eyes. As one of the Twelve Sword Sages of the Great Luo Sword Sect, his status on Tian Yun Star was comparable to that of the Tian Yun Seven Sons; he was truly renowned.

But now, he was being ignored by this person. The man snorted coldly, his body swayed, and he instantly appeared in front of Wang Lin, saying coldly, "Wang…"

Before he could finish, Wang Lin looked up and said calmly, "A Cultivator who gets angry so easily, your thousand years of cultivation are disappointing!"

If someone like Tian Yunzi had said this, the Great Luo Sword Sect man would have humbly accepted it, but coming from Wang Lin's mouth, it sounded extremely harsh to his ears.

He laughed in extreme anger, but his gaze became even colder, saying, "I'd like to see what results your thousand years of cultivation have yielded!"

"Move aside!" Wang Lin shook his head and said calmly.

The Great Luo Sword Sect man burst into laughter, Forming Hand Seals with his right hand. A Sword Qi immediately surged out from his body, turning from one into two, from two into four, and in an instant, it transformed into sixty-four streams of Sword Qi, whistling towards Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's expression was normal, not even looking at the sixty-four streams of Sword Qi. In a flash, all the Sword Qi landed on Wang Lin's body, but at that instant, a Mark of Life flashed on his body, and as the Sword Qi reached him, it all disappeared.

"Is that all the power you have? It seems your thousand years of cultivation aren't just disappointing, they were for naught!" Wang Lin shook his head.

The Great Luo Sword Sect man's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief. Although the power of his sixty-four streams of Sword Qi wasn't the strongest, to be received so casually shocked him deeply.

"What Divine Ability is this!! This person didn't use a Magic Treasure just now, but my Sword Qi immediately collapsed upon reaching his body. Even Longzi among the Twelve Sword Sages couldn't possibly do that!"

Wang Lin shook his head and walked forward.

The Great Luo Sword Sect man subconsciously retreated a few steps, took a deep breath, and placed his right hand on the great sword behind him.

Wang Lin frowned, gave him a cold glance, and said again, "Get lost. You came to deliver a Challenge Letter today, so I won't kill you!"

"You, a mere Nascent Soul Transformation Late Stage Great Perfection, are of similar cultivation to me. Even if your Divine Abilities are stronger, you absolutely cannot withstand this sword of mine!" The Great Luo Sword Sect man's face twisted into a sneer. Without further nonsense, he waved his right hand, and the precious sword on his back immediately flew up.

Rumble

It was as if a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. A giant purple sword suddenly appeared above the man. This sword emitted a dense Sword Qi. Almost as soon as it appeared, it immediately enveloped the surroundings in Sword Rays. An unusual pattern was carved on this sword.

A phantom of a giant purple goat immediately materialized from this pattern. This goat's body was massive, and an Aura of brutality permeated it. It merged with the sword, and instantly, the sword's power grew even stronger.

"Wei Goat Sword Slash!" The man roared, his entire body's Immortal Power erupting. His right hand instantly slashed down towards Wang Lin. At the same time, the great sword in mid-air moved with it, carrying an unimaginable force, whistling towards Wang Lin.

Mo Lihai's expression changed, and he immediately retreated several steps. The few people beside him also retreated without hesitation, instantly moving hundreds of zhang away.

The giant sword slashed down, like a bolt of lightning descending from the sky, rumbling with rolling thunder.

Wang Lin's expression remained calm, and he shook his head slightly. This giant sword indeed possessed power, especially after merging with the goat soul, its power was astonishing. However, the man before him was unable to unleash the full power of this goat soul.

"What a waste of a good sword!" Wang Lin said, raising his right hand. At the instant the giant sword slashed down, amid the Great Luo Sword Sect man's intensely shocked eyes, he grabbed the sword!

The moment his right hand gripped it, the Mark of Life on his right hand flickered wildly, and in an instant, a thousand brands covered it.

Roars emanated from within the giant sword. The goat soul on it showed fierce light in its eyes, struggling wildly, wanting to tear through Wang Lin's right hand and break free. However, Wang Lin's right hand was like the palm of an Ancient God, possessing infinite strength. No matter how the giant sword struggled, his right hand remained motionless!

The evil goat soul on the giant sword roared almost to the heavens, its fierce eyes revealing a hint of defiance, like an ancient Vicious Beast, it swallowed towards Wang Lin.

Although it was a sword soul, formed from illusion, at this moment, everyone around, upon seeing the goat soul swallow, had the illusion of a foul wind blowing in their faces.

"Beast, how dare you!" Wang Lin's gaze sharpened, and a red glow immediately flashed in his eyes. A killing intent surged from his eyes, directly entering the goat soul's body.

The goat soul let out a mournful cry, its body immediately collapsing under the slaughter qi, transforming into specks of crystal light that quickly returned to the giant sword. The sword stopped struggling and resisting.

Everything Wang Lin did at this moment was almost identical to the scene when Tian Yunzi pointed a finger and the beast soul within the God-Slaying Chariot immediately collapsed!

This scene fell into Mo Lihai's eyes, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, looking at Wang Lin with an extremely complex expression.

"In three months, he actually became this strong… Even the Vice Commander is not his match, and today he even subdued this terrifying sword soul. If he had such Divine Ability three months ago, I would have undoubtedly lost that day!"

Wei Goat of the Great Luo Sword Sect staggered, his face pale as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Having his Natal Sword snatched away immediately damaged his mind.

He never expected Wang Lin to be so strong. If he had known this, he would never have come alone. He gritted his teeth, pointed his right hand at his glabella, took a deep breath, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes. His final killing move was a Sword Qi given to him by his Master, Ling Tianhou!

There were twelve such Sword Qi, one for each person, and they were ultimate life-saving Divine Abilities that could not be used lightly. Otherwise, in this dangerous Demon Spirit Land, the remaining four hundred-plus years would be very difficult to pass!

But if he didn't use it now, he might not be able to leave!

"You may leave!" Wang Lin glanced at Wei Goat, his eyes flashing, and he slowly said.

Wei Goat was startled.

"I have no enmity with the Great Luo Sword Sect. If you hadn't repeatedly forced my hand today, I wouldn't have acted. Send a message for me to your Twelve Sword Sages: in this Demon Spirit Land, I do not wish to be your enemy!" Wang Lin said, flicking the sword in his hand and tossing it to Wei Goat. He walked past him and headed towards his residence in front.

His back, falling into Wei Goat's eyes, made the man completely stunned. After the struggle just now, he was almost forced to use his ultimate life-saving killing move. Now, with the sudden turn of events, a hint of disbelief immediately surged in his heart.

He took a deep breath, took the giant sword, and swept it with his Divine Sense. After confirming that the other party had not tampered with it, he watched Wang Lin continuously depart with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"Your message, I will definitely deliver!" Wei Goat moved his body and flew directly into the air, quickly departing from the Mo Manor.

A thousand zhang outside the Mo Manor, his speed slowed slightly, but his Divine Sense remained secretly vigilant. He found that Wang Lin still made no move, as if he really intended to let him leave.

"Wang Lin, I will repay today's humiliation a hundredfold! Though your Divine Abilities are strong, next time I will besiege you with several Senior Brothers. I refuse to believe you can still be so composed! Hmph, if Senior Greedy Wolf hadn't gone to Huoyao Prefecture, with just Senior's intervention today, you would have undoubtedly died!" A killing intent flashed in Wei Goat's eyes. He coldly glanced at the Mo Manor, then turned and quickly departed.

His speed was extremely fast. The further he got from the Mo Manor, the more relaxed he felt inside. Recalling the battle just now, he couldn't help but feel lingering fear.

"This Wang Lin is very strong!! But if I had used Master's Sword Qi, this person would have been unable to resist!" A cold smile appeared on Wei Goat's lips.

But just then, suddenly, streams of gray qi silently emanated from the great sword on his back, like spiritual snakes, aiming for his head.

A strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped Wei Goat's entire body, but immediately, those streams of gray qi, like lightning, directly pierced into his head.

The gray qi was too fast and too close. Wei Goat barely registered the crisis before he let out a miserable groan, his body falling directly from mid-air. During this descent, his body rapidly withered, and a shrill scream echoed through the sky.

His Primordial Spirit was utterly unable to escape. After the gray qi entered his body, it first transformed into numerous brands, directly severing the connection between his Primordial Spirit and Physical Body. At the same time, it rapidly absorbed his blood essence and Immortal Power, continuously replenishing the gray qi, making the power of its brand even stronger.

The moment he landed, Wei Goat's eyes were wide open in anger, his body transformed into a dried corpse. The only thought in his mind was that giant sword—he had clearly inspected it, and his mind was connected to it, so why would gray qi be hidden within?

In front of his corpse, space distorted, and Wang Lin stepped out. He tapped Wei Goat's corpse several times with his right hand, then grabbed the corpse and, with a step, vanished from the spot.

At Wang Lin's residence in the Mo Manor, his figure stepped out from the void. With a release of his right hand, Wei Goat's corpse fell to the ground. Wang Lin's gaze was solemn. He patted his Storage Pouch, and the Restriction Banner flew out. With a shake, it immediately transformed into a black mist, enveloping the room. Countless Restrictions flickered within this black mist.

After doing all this, he took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and after a short period of breathing, he suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze, like lightning, fell upon Wei Goat's corpse. After carefully examining it, Wang Lin's gaze lingered on the glabella of the corpse.

His face was uncertain, showing no clear emotions. After a moment of silence, he Formed Hand Seals with both hands, softly chanting an Incantation. A spectral flame appeared between his Formed Hand Seals.

His Hand Seals shifted, transforming into a series of afterimages. Then, he pointed forward and softly uttered: "Refine!"

The moment the spectral flame drifted towards Wei Goat's corpse, it immediately spread out, enveloping the corpse. Cracking sounds instantly echoed, and Wei Goat's body melted at a visible speed.

His corpse was already a dried one, its blood essence having been absorbed by the gray qi. Now, upon burning, a strange odor immediately emanated, filling the room. However, Wang Lin had no time to worry about it, staring intently at the corpse being refined within the spectral flame.

In the previous battle, Wei Goat's final action of touching his glabella gave Wang Lin an extremely strong sense of crisis!

Such a crisis had almost never occurred since his slaughter qi was refined. Even a Soul Transformation Middle Stage Cultivator could not achieve this: merely an aura, before even appearing, could directly penetrate his body and Primordial Spirit, which were covered by over three thousand Marks of Life, and霸道的冲入他的心神之中.

This feeling was like facing life and death. Wang Lin's heart was immediately startled, which was why he retreated to advance, easing the atmosphere at the time. Moreover, in his opinion, if this person hadn't been pushed to the brink, he probably wouldn't have been willing to use this final Divine Ability.

Wei Goat's Physical Body gradually melted and dissipated, revealing his Primordial Spirit within the spectral flame. On his Primordial Spirit, layers of gray Imprints covered it, occasionally flashing with an eerie glow.

Wei Goat's Primordial Spirit had its eyes tightly shut, unmoving within the spectral flame. Wang Lin's gaze was like lightning, observing carefully. Instantly, his gaze suddenly focused, staring intently at the glabella of Wei Goat's Primordial Spirit. There, a very faint blue thread, faintly shimmering, was visible.

If one looked closely at this thread, its shape was clearly a sword, shrunk countless times!

The moment he saw this blue thread, Wang Lin's body violently shook. A feeling as if directly facing Sword Venerable Ling Tianhou immediately surged throughout his body.

"Ling Tianhou!!" Wang Lin took a deep breath, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"Back then, outside the East Sea Demonic Spirit Gate, before the Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples entered, Ling Tianhou once gave out a Sword Qi, calling it the life-saving Divine Ability for the twelve of them!

This blue thread is that Sword Qi! No wonder it made me feel like life and death, able to directly break through my Mark of Life…" Wang Lin's eyes flashed, revealing a decisive expression.

"Since I've seen this Sword Qi, it's mine!"

He closed his eyes, placed his hands on his knees, and a radiant glow emanated from his Heavenly Spirit. His Primordial Spirit emerged from his body. On Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit, almost all the Marks of Life covered it, guarding it as strictly as Armor.

Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit emerged from his body, looking at Wei Goat's Primordial Spirit. After a slight contemplation, his eyes flickered, and he spat out a mouthful of Primordial Spirit Fire, which merged into the spectral flame. Immediately, the spectral flame became dense.

Primordial Spirit Fire continuously spewed from Wang Lin's mouth.

Wei Goat's Primordial Spirit showed a pained expression, as if wanting to struggle, but the Marks of Life outside its body tightly locked it down.

Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit showed caution. He carefully controlled the refining fire, not stimulating that Sword Qi, but rather gnawing away at Wei Goat's Primordial Spirit, refining it little by little.

This process continued for several days. Despite Wang Lin's strength, his continuous full concentration for several days, along with constantly expelling Primordial Spirit Fire, caused his Primordial Spirit to dim slightly, and a look of fatigue appeared on his face.

However, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

On this day, Wei Goat's Primordial Spirit, under continuous refinement, finally collapsed, transforming into specks of crystal light. Within those crystal lights, the blue thread flashed and then calmly floated in mid-air, unmoving.

Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit inhaled, and the crystal lights that Wei Goat had transformed into were immediately sucked into his mouth, rapidly replenishing the exhaustion of the past few days. After doing all this, Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit hesitantly glanced at the motionless blue thread.

After a long silence, Wang Lin gritted his teeth, no longer hesitating, and directly swallowed the thread in one gulp!

At this instant, his Primordial Spirit immediately trembled violently, and its connection with the Physical Body rapidly dissipated. Wang Lin had already prepared for this. He was not far from his Physical Body, and amidst his struggle, at the moment the connection was about to disappear, he entered his Physical Body.

Wang Lin sat quietly in place, and this sitting lasted for another three days! At dusk three days later, Wang Lin opened his eyes. Within their calm, a dazzling light emerged.

——

Last night, I was truly ass-raped, suffering unbearable pain!!!!

I wonder if any of you big shots have experienced kidney stones. When a stone drops into the ureter and gets stuck, the pain—Er Gen still feels like dying when he thinks about it now.

I endured from 1 AM to 3 AM, completely exhausted. My wife and family took me to the hospital, tossed and turned all night, doing various tests, and it wasn't until 5 AM that it was confirmed to be kidney stones. The stone was eventually crushed, but my stomach still has intermittent pain.

What I remember most vividly is that my stomach was full of gas. If it couldn't be expelled, it would affect the stone crushing, so I was given an enema. This wasn't an enema; it was clearly an ass-rape!!!

Today's chapter was written late. Sigh, my body, why does it feel weaker and weaker? All sorts of illnesses can find me, damn it.

This afternoon, I struggled to get up and saw that my monthly votes had also been ass-raped. A double ass-rape, both spiritual and physical. Which author at Qidian has had this experience!!! April 11th, I'll remember this day!

I want to ass-rape others' chrysanthemums too! Brothers, big shots, Er Gen is physically and mentally exhausted right now. I beg for monthly votes, ah ah ah ah!!!!
