Chapter 270: Chapter 193: Sacrificing the Great Elder! Searching for Lord Qingling!

Boom!!!

In the blink of an eye, both Han Zheng and Lv Tang were flipped over and thrown far away.

Yet, when they landed, they were shocked to discover that in front of the hall, there were over twenty figures of Lin Yan!

Each Lin Yan was raising a token!

"Great Elder, I have shown all my capabilities here. Do you dare to come forth and battle?"

"Playing tricks, petty skills of no consequence!"

Tribulation Ash, the Great Elder, had never considered Lv Tang and Han Zheng worthy opponents. She gathered all the Evil Qi around her, like a vast tide, and swept it forward!

Why bother distinguishing the true from the false?

By pushing all the figures in sight, along with Chen Long’s tokens, against the hall’s door, one could complete the sacrificial ceremony!

Evil Qi surged like an unending tide, shredding the paper figures one by one, scattering them as confetti!

"Paper figures shaped into horses. I too have learned this trick; it’s nothing to fuss over!"

Tribulation Ash, the Great Elder, had a mocking look in her thousand eyes.

The paper figures kept breaking apart until it was Wu Chang’s turn.

Wu Chang’s face showed fright as he inadvertently released his Qi Mechanism, and his fighting spirit faltered.

In his hands, the bronze token, imbued with the essence of moonlight, shone even brighter under the onslaught of the massive Evil Qi!

This was the true body!

Thus, a massive wave of Evil Qi pushed Wu Chang, with his token, toward the hall’s door!

In her heart, she was determined to crush this person against the door, turning him into a pulpy mess, merging with the token to become the offering!

Boom!

With a loud bang!

Thousands of waves of Evil Qi swept Wu Chang and the token toward the door, smashing them against it!

The bronze token shattered right before the hall’s door!

A huge burst of Moonlight Essence erupted!

However, before Tribulation Ash, the Great Elder, could even feel delighted,

Lv Tang and Han Zheng hadn’t even begun to show their horrified and furious expressions.

They saw Wu Chang being crushed against the door, not spewing flesh and blood, but bursting into confetti!

"He’s not here?"

Tribulation Ash, the Great Elder, suddenly halted, her thousand tentacles that stretched from the crevices of her flesh, all trembling.

A sense of horror slowly crept into her thousand eyes.

With a thud!

Before she could ponder the changes,

they saw a rock not far away burst forth with golden light!

Amidst the glimmer, the rock unfolded and transformed into a human shape!

It was Lin Yan’s perfected Transformation Technique, coupled with his Golden Body Divine Power!

Boom!!!

Lin Yan’s body shone golden, and his physique was enormous, towering nearly ten feet tall.

He charged without hesitation, bravely colliding forward!

The Great Elder, having spent her life turning all her True Qi into Evil Qi, had formed it into waves crushing the twenty or so paper figures, all splattered on the door.

Right now was the moment her True Qi was exhausted, unable to defend with Evil Qi in time, she could only rely on this completely out-of-control Physical Body Evil to resist!

"Ignorant youth! I’ve abandoned human form, my Physical Body Evil is limitless, do you dare to contend with me in physical strength?"

Tribulation Ash, the Great Elder, mocked in her thousand eyes.

Then they saw the giant Golden Body man slam into her, blowing the pile of flesh away!

Divine Power! Demon Suppression!

Lin Yan’s Golden Body swelled, his physique was robust, endowed with immense strength, further enhanced by Divine Skills, his True Qi still present!

Demon Suppression Golden Body, colliding with Physical Body Evil!

And Lin Yan still had True Qi to support him!

Under this thunderous blow!

That Physical Body Evil transformed by the Great Elder was sent flying like a huge clump of "mud"!

Straight into the hall’s door!

With a muffled crash!

The Physical Body Evil, like mud, spread across the door into a large smudge of filth!

"With just you, you wish to slay me?"

The pile of rotting flesh began to converge, and a chilling voice came through: "Wu Chang, when I reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, you weren’t even born yet!"

"It’s indeed not easy to kill you."

Lin Yan’s golden glow gradually dissipated, and his physical stature slowly returned to normal.

He looked at the Great Elder and said, "That’s why I didn’t use a blade just now, I only knocked you over."

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense.

Even the Great Elder sensed something was amiss.

She roared furiously, trying to muster all her power to extinguish Lin Yan.

But she found her pile of rotting flesh was now completely adhered to the hall’s door, as if cast onto it, unable to break free.

The large amount of Moonlight Essence kept converging, entering behind the door while simultaneously pressing her flesh firmly against it.

"Unable to find nine corresponding sacrificial victims, but Moonlight Essence can be substituted."

Lin Yan took a step back and slowly said, "However, flesh and blood are essential for a sacrifice, so I need to hold the token to open the door."

"How could you possibly know all this?" The Great Elder’s hysterical roar conveyed disbelief and rage.

"You’ve lost control after all, retaining only some of your consciousness, but in the end, you’re just a rotten Physical Body Evil," Lin Yan spoke softly. "Now you’ve knocked on the door with the token... For the three of us, killing you, a Physical Body Evil beyond the Qi Refining Realm, certainly isn’t easy, but turning you into a sacrifice, for the Skyfire Divine Palace to devour, that shouldn’t be hard."

"Physical Body Evil... You dare insult me..."

Tribulation Ash, the Great Elder, screamed and struggled, stuck as if in a quagmire.

She was like a clump of mud, struggling to emerge from the mire, only to crumble and fall back into the filth.

Within just a few breaths, its roar had become almost inaudible.

And the struggle weakened to the point of being barely noticeable.

Until everything calmed down.

The temple doors remained as before, as if they had never devoured a powerful Physical Body Evil, nor had they absorbed a large amount of Moonlight Essence.

Only in front of the temple, paper scraps fluttered in the desolate loneliness.

"Are you alright?"

Han Commander approached with a complex expression.

Lv Tang also looked shocked and doubtful, whispering, "Was it that easy to finish It off?"

"Not easy, if not for the temple doors needing a sacrifice, the three of us combined would have had a hard time defeating It, and might even have suffered deaths or injuries."

Lin Yan said this, and closed his eyes slightly.

The Evil Qi he obtained from the evil spirits he had casually killed after falling into the Abyss, he had added to the "Body Creation Technique" and the "Transformation Skill"!

Creation (213/365)+

Transformation (97/100)+

If it had not been so, he could not have deceived the Tribulation Ash Great Elder and managed to push his opponent towards the temple doors.

In that instant, he also considered using the Evil Qi to boost his True Qi, but a few hundred points of True Qi wouldn’t have been enough to turn the tide of the battle.

More importantly, the signs along the way suggested that the arrangements by "Lord Qingling" seemed to favor those of the Human Clan who possessed pure True Qi somewhat more "favorably."

"What now?"

Han Commander looked toward Lin Yan, hesitating, but ultimately held back his words.

He sighed. Only today did he realize that this young man, aside from his cultivation progressing by leaps and bounds to an astonishing degree, also possessed skills that had far exceeded his expectations.

The skill to turn paper into horses, Han Commander admittedly understood.

But the final paper figure, capable of deceiving the Tribulation Ash Great Elder, was as if it were a living being!

It had completely exceeded the realm of the skill of turning paper into horses!

Also, Lin Yan himself transforming into a boulder and hiding on the stone steps, had surpassed the category of camouflage and disguise.

Just now, his body shone with golden light, his physique suddenly grew taller by a measure, towering like a divine general, a sight never seen before.

Lv Tang also gave Lin Yan a deep look.

Had it been earlier, he would have shown shock and immediately asked Lin Yan about these skills.

But at this moment, he too fell silent, looking ahead.

"The sacrifice ceremony is still ongoing, wait a bit!"

Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed, and he spoke in a low voice, "That Tribulation Ash Great Elder, for some reason, seems to truly regard me as one of the Tribulation Ash!"

"When he was in the land of the old folk’s new settlement, he probably really intended to assist me, but now he completely lost control, his heart’s desires growing ever heavier."

"Especially this Moon Gate, which should be the closest entrance to the supreme town object."

Pausing, Lin Yan continued in a low voice, "In the presence of the supreme town object, this Great Elder changed his mind! Or rather, from the beginning, Chen Long’s token was meant to help him obtain the supreme town object..."

Han Commander also nodded slightly and said, "Even among the Human Clan, there are many who turn against each other over benefits! Those of the Tribulation Ash are even more extreme and paranoid. A person who can sit in the position of the Great Elder is naturally not one to sacrifice himself for others!"

Lv Tang pondered for a moment, about to speak.

Suddenly, there was a booming noise from up ahead!

The temple doors burst open!

A cold wind blew in their faces!

Lin Yan instinctively stepped forward, unleashing the Demon Suppression Divine Power, releasing his True Qi to shield Han Commander and Lv Tang behind him!

"The ceremony is completed."

Lin Yan’s face was serious as he looked inside.

All he saw was darkness within, no light to be seen, an eerie and oppressive stillness and desolation.

"The ritual to open the temple doors was quite dangerous, and who knows what perils lie within!"

Lv Tang pondered aloud, "We can’t enter together, the three of us need to go in one after the other to explore the temple..."

Just as Lin Yan was about to enter, Han Commander rested a hand on his shoulder.

"I will go in first, if there is no danger, Lv Tang will follow, then you will come over."

"This plan is acceptable," Lv Tang immediately nodded and said, "We two old fellows are comparatively more experienced."

"There’s no need."

Lin Yan suddenly clenched his hand, and his True Qi gathered together.

He saw the paper scraps on the ground suddenly rise up, coalescing out of thin air into a humanoid form.

Manipulating them with True Qi, he watched the paper figure swiftly walk into the temple.

The inside was dark, but the paper figure remained intact and wasn’t destroyed.

This made Lin Yan breathe a sigh of relief and nod, "It’s feasible!"

Lv Tang looked back and said, "This divine palace is under the cliff."

"Other powers may not know the exact location of the divine palace, but they will surely discern the direction and come here, planning to climb the cliff to search for the Skyfire Divine Palace above..."

"Delay could lead to unexpected changes, so since we are ahead, let’s not dawdle."

The three exchanged glances, all nodding in agreement.

Afterward, Lin Yan withdrew the True Qi controlling the paper figure.

The three of them entered the temple one after the other.

The temple was desolate; the darkness penetrated the soul.

After some searching, they found nothing at all.

"This temple is sealed, with no directions leading elsewhere."

Han Commander frowned, "How can this be?"

Lin Yan appeared thoughtful.

At that moment, Lv Tang pointed to a mural on the wall.

"To know Lord Qingling, one must see Lord Qingling, to become Lord Qingling."

"To obtain the inheritance of Lord Qingling, one must first understand Lord Qingling."

"The clues are in the mural!"
