Chapter 750: This Immortal Wants to Harm Me!

At the same time.

Ghost Cry Ridge.

Inside an underground palace abundant with Spiritual Qi.

Immortal Luo Sheng looked at Lin Zhen before him with an unfriendly expression and asked coldly:

"Kid, you have consumed so many resources yet have still not achieved a Breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing Realm. Could it be that you are intentionally slacking off and deceiving this Immortal?"

On the other side, realizing that his recent slacking had provoked the Immortal's dissatisfaction, Lin Zhen's forehead instantly broke out in sweat. However, he could only brace himself and explain:

"Ex… Exalted Immortal, this lowly one's Aptitude is truly dull and my Comprehension Ability is poor. It's difficult to achieve a Breakthrough for the time being. I beg the Exalted Immortal to give me a little more time."

He was indeed intentionally or unintentionally delaying the time of his Breakthrough. After all, if this Immortal were allowed to return to the Immortal Realm, this world would likely soon face a catastrophic disaster.

Therefore, out of this concern, he chose to slack off in his cultivation, attempting to delay the occurrence of the disaster as much as possible through stalling tactics.

He didn't expect the Immortal to see through his thoughts so quickly. At this moment, Lin Zhen could only desperately defend himself, putting on an ignorant and honest act in an attempt to muddle through.

"Enough!"

Hearing this reason, Immortal Luo Sheng felt his intelligence was being insulted. Instead of getting angry, a cold smile appeared on his face as he said sinisterly:

"What a 'dull Aptitude and poor Comprehension Ability.' Since that's the case, this Immortal will give you a hand. As long as you swallow this Medicinal Pill, your cultivation will immediately advance greatly, surging straight into the Tribulation Crossing Realm."

Saying this, He gave a cold laugh and then reached out to grab the air. A pitch-black pill bottle suddenly appeared in his palm, which he sent directly into Lin Zhen's hand.

"Swallow it, and you will be able to undergo tribulation!"

"This… this is?"

Lin Zhen's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the jade bottle in his hand with a face full of suspicion and uncertainty, clearly sensing that the Medicinal Pill inside was definitely not something legitimate.

Just as he felt something was wrong, Immortal Luo Sheng curled his lips and said in an enticing tone:

"The Medicinal Pill inside is called the Nine-Life Huntian Pill. It is a rare Immortal Pill and Spirit Medicine in this world. Just by taking this pill, your cultivation will immediately advance greatly, allowing you to reach the heavens in a single step and saving you over a thousand years of bitter cultivation."

"Eat it, and this Immortal will forgive your recent acts of negligence. Otherwise…"

Halfway through his sentence, his face suddenly darkened, and his expression abruptly became incomparably frigid:

"This Immortal will extract your Soul and refine your spirit right now, and then kill every single one of your friends and family!"

"Uh…"

Faced with this threat, cold sweat poured down Lin Zhen's forehead. He tremblingly opened the lid and saw a strange, snow-white pill lying quietly at the bottom of the bottle.

The surface of the pill was covered with countless complex and eerie blood-colored patterns. With just a glance, his mind was stirred, and a restless sensation arose in his body, making him actually want to swallow it in one gulp.

Just then, Old Man Shi's long-absent warning voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

"Lin Kid, this Nine-Life Huntian Pill is a world-renowned evil pill. After taking it, it can indeed greatly increase a Cultivator's cultivation."

"However, because the refining method of this pill is too cruel and violates the harmony of heaven, it contains a large amount of the victims' resentment. After taking the pill, there is a twenty percent chance of being backlashed by the Resentful Baleful Qi within the pill, resulting in death and the destruction of the Soul!"

Hearing Old Man Shi's explanation, Lin Zhen's face turned pale with fear. For a moment, he froze in place, not knowing what to do.

"Don't dawdle!"

Seeing his hesitant manner, a sharp glint flashed in Immortal Luo Sheng's eyes as he shouted in a deep voice:

"Take the pill, or… die!"

"Fine, I'll take it!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhen shivered violently. Ultimately, he still stuffed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

Taking the pill meant a twenty percent chance of immediate death; not taking it meant a one hundred percent chance of death. In such a situation, anyone could quickly make a choice!

Next, Lin Zhen felt a terrifying heat flow disperse into his limbs and bones, and the spiritual power in his body was also growing rapidly without any obstruction.

In just a few breaths, his cultivation crossed the Peak of the Hedao Realm and promoted to the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Immediately after, Lin Zhen's Aura began to wither at a visible rate. At the same time, wisps of metal-attribute tribulation qi continuously spread around him, quickly forming a vast Gengjin Tribulation Cloud…

It worked!

Seeing this, Immortal Luo Sheng couldn't help but show a satisfied smile. His gaze fell on Lin Zhen, and he said with a playful expression:

"Kid, this Immortal originally truly wanted to Cultivate you into the second Blood Yan Immortal. Unfortunately, you didn't know what's good for you and repeatedly tried to deceive this Immortal. You truly deserve ten thousand deaths."

"Since you don't cherish the opportunity this Immortal gave you, I will refine you into an External Incarnation. Once this Incarnation's refinement reaches Perfection, I can still return to the Immortal Realm and enjoy eternal life."

"When a Cultivator faces a Dao Tribulation, it is exactly when their essence, qi, and spirit are at their weakest. Your Dao Tribulation has arrived, which just happens to give this Immortal an opportunity to strike…"

Before his voice could fade, he waved his sleeve, and densely packed blood-colored incantations flew out from it. Like swimming snakes, they passed through the tribulation cloud and entered Lin Zhen's body.

In an instant, Lin Zhen's body surface was covered by countless incantations, and he completely lost control over his body.

This is bad, this Immortal wants to harm me!

Feeling the treacherous power gradually spreading within his body while facing the Metal Baleful Tribulation, Lin Zhen was terrified to the core, his eyes filled with deep fear.

This Immortal actually intended to take advantage of his Dao Tribulation to refine him into an External Incarnation!

Immediately after, Immortal Luo Sheng's immortal soul turned into a streak of light and surged into Lin Zhen's body.

As long as a Puppet brand was imprinted deep within the other's Soul, this External Incarnation would be completely refined.

An External Incarnation that had taken the Nine-Life Huntian Pill would find passing five Dao Tribulations as easy as child's play… At that time, through the Blood Yan Immortal's immortal seat, it would be just as easy for this Incarnation to achieve Ascension to the Immortal Realm.

This was the perfect plan formulated by Immortal Luo Sheng!

As the immortal soul entered his body, Lin Zhen's Soul was instantly completely suppressed, and he fell into a dazed state.

Could it be… that I, Lin Zhen, am really going to die here?

Just when he was in utter despair, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from within his body:

"Your… Your Majesty? No… Your Majesty, spare my life!"

In just an instant, Immortal Luo Sheng's nearly indestructible immortal soul was completely annihilated, turning into a stream of extremely pure Spiritual Essence that surged through his entire body.

After Immortal Luo Sheng's immortal soul was completely obliterated, the red marks on Lin Zhen's body vanished one after another, and his originally groggy mind instantly cleared.

Discovering that a massive amount of energy had inexplicably appeared in his body, Lin Zhen's heart was also filled with confusion:

"What… what on earth is going on?"

Before he could react, the menacing Metal Baleful Tribulation around him had finished brewing. However, those seemingly indestructible and terrifying golden blades only brandished their claws and bared their teeth nearby, delaying their strike as if they were just playing around…"}],
