Chapter 278: Chapter 200: Lin Yan Subdues the Divine Weapon! Li Shen Sect’s True Qi is Exhausted!

Beneath the Abyss, all was silent and still.

Visitors from all directions revealed expressions of utter shock.

Everyone knew that this ancient relic was no ordinary place—worshipped by ancient civilizations, its powers were unimaginably great.

But just now, the Blood Slaughter God General had shattered the Broken Golden Bridge with a single halberd strike, viewing everyone as mere ants, ruthlessly slaughtering them at will.

His fearsome might made all present tremble with fear and astonishment.

Everyone had thought it would be an intense battle, but unexpectedly, the outcome, life and death, were determined in the blink of an eye!

The light of the blade flashed, splitting into two parts, severing the hundred-zhang tall God General into three sections!

In the blink of an eye, the God General was seen disintegrating apart.

Massive chunks of flesh fell down one after another, thunderously hitting the ground, shaking the earth.

As the flesh touched the ground, it instantly turned into muddy slag.

Only the gigantic halberd, with its exterior continually fracturing, revealed its true form—a Fangtian halberd about a zhang long.

The Divine Weapon fell to the ground, standing upright on the earth, its cold light gleaming as fiercely as before.

"..."

Lin Yan sheathed his sword, maintained his Golden Body, and once again sat cross-legged on the divine platform.

But in that instant, his eyes became vacant.

That strike had been executed with all his strength.

True Qi depleted.

Liu Venerate’s remaining mana had been poured out completely.

A great amount of incense power had also been exhausted.

Including the Lesser Venerate and the Little White Ape, at this moment all had nearly had their power drained by his single strike.

"My lord, I have no strength left, not a bit of energy left..." the Little White Ape said weakly, "What should we do next?"

This strike had eliminated the Blood Slaughter God General, the greatest threat beneath the Abyss, and the gains were substantial!

However, now that they were exhausted, the threats from below, coming from various directions, still persisted.

Many in the Qi Refinement Realm, fierce demons, and other unknown bizarre creatures, even those few in the Refining Essence Realm, possessed powerful "treasures" capable of posing a great threat.

Even if he added all the obtained Evil Qi to his cultivation, he might not be able to withstand the combined attack of all the formidable enemies below!

"No matter, this strike will deter them!"

Lin Yan responded thus.

At that moment, he heard the voice of Lord Qingling in his ears.

"However, with that strike of yours, my remaining soul dares not to snatch your body."

"..."

Lin Yan was taken aback by these words, and then heard intense shouts coming from below.

"Lord Qingling isn’t dead, he has the power to slay God Generals, why need a successor?"

A voice suddenly rose, shouting loudly: "The relic is a trap! He wants to devour us all... Run quickly!"

The person who spoke was none other than Chen Yang, the garrison commander of the High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau!

However, no sooner had the voice fallen than his face withered, his body contorted, and in an instant, he turned into a dry corpse, which then shattered and dispersed into the air as dust!

"Run quickly!"

Another person from Tribulation Ash shouted loudly.

Before the voice faded, the person had already turned into dust and scattered with the wind.

Seeing this scene, all the visitors from various places were horrified.

Whether from the Human Clan, Tribulation Ash, demons, evil spirits, or bizarre creatures, in an instant, they scattered in all directions!

They had come here seeking opportunity!

Risking riches within dangers, let alone the great Dao?

They could seek fortune, risking their lives.

But at this moment, with the original master still present, the chance could not be sought, so why should they throw away their lives for nothing?

In just an instant, two mighty beings died inexplicably, with no one able to comprehend the method behind it.

Being unable to see through it meant they could not defend against it!

They could only flee for their lives!

Two mighty beings warned in their dying moments, now that their lives were at stake, no one dared to harbor any illusions of luck!

In the blink of an eye, they had dispersed like the wind, scattering into various parts of the Abyss.

"The journey here was difficult, but the departure was unhindered; was it your lingering soul that cleared the path for them?"

Lin Yan looked down from high above, his gaze slightly focused: "What kind of technique is this?"

"The lingering soul thought you possessed great power, capable of slaying a God General, and decided to retreat..."

Lord Qingling’s voice sighed slightly and said, "He has not yet recovered and might not be able to escape, so he retreated from the crowd, blending among them to leave this Blessed Land."

He sighed, "However, with your strike, your foundations are emptied, True Qi is depleted, and you’re also unable to respond to the attacks from various factions; your own situation is perilously uncertain... Their dispersal is arguably a good thing for you."

Lin Yan slowly said, "When I, as a junior, slew this God General and succeeded, I was not depleted of strength."

He closed his eyes slightly, sensing the Evil Qi he had acquired, and could not help but show a look of surprise.

Then, his gaze fell on that long halberd.

A realization suddenly dawned on him!

This long halberd was the true body of the Blood Slaughter God General, the guardian artifact of the Pure Land!

By slaying the Blood Slaughter God General, the Evil Qi increased by over two thousand three hundred, more than double that of a Jiazi Great Year spirit!

This was already an exceedingly large gain, yet it did not meet Lin Yan’s prior expectations.

Only now did he understand that this long halberd was the key!

"The Divine Weapon has not yet fully awakened; nevertheless, its fierce might is vast. He who possesses this Divine Weapon, if he can exercise one-tenth of its power, someone in the Refining Essence Realm could also slay those in the Qi-Refinement Realm!"

At this moment, Lord Qingling slowly said, "This Divine Weapon was only initially awakened before, using the souls and flesh of this world to construct a false master... Your strike severed its false form, broke its fierce momentum, intimidated its true spirit, perhaps you can claim it for your own use!"

"From this, it seems that within the ancient relic, apart from the highest guardian artifact, this long halberd is the greatest opportunity!"

Lin Yan looked at his palm and spoke calmly, "Little fellow, I excel in using blades, so let the Divine Weapon be yours for now, how about that?"

"Master is wise! My ancestors were masters of using polearms..."

The Little White Ape cheered joyfully, overwhelmed with happiness, and immediately burst forth from the palm, pouncing towards the fierce halberd on the ground!

The next moment, a wave of ferocity, an invisible force, flipped the Little White Ape over.

"Taming it is no easy task," Lord Qingling slowly said.

"Then sever it!" Lin Yan said in a neutral tone, thinking that whether he took the Evil Qi or obtained the Divine Weapon, either way, he would benefit.

"The material is special—an ancient oddity; your blade isn’t enough to sever this Divine Weapon," Lord Qingling responded.

"Destroying its spirit isn’t difficult," Lin Yan looked down and said this.

"That is also true," Lord Qingling commented.

"Little White Ape, go forward again. If it still resists, I will personally destroy its spirit."

As Lin Yan’s voice fell, the Little White Ape spread its wings and flew, pouncing again.

But the ferocity was contained, and the long halberd no longer resisted.

——

Meanwhile,

to the north of High Willow City.

The earth collapsed, mountains toppled, rivers changed their courses.

This battle shook heaven and earth!

The Commander of the High Willow City Sky Observation Bureau had already lost his left arm.

However, his right hand, still holding a blade, looked forward and sighed, "Elder Lord, ever since stepping down from the position of the Tribulation Burning Sect Leader, your powers have indeed far surpassed those of the past."

"With this arm severed, you can’t contain the hidden dangers anymore."

The Tribulation Burning Great Elder, towering like a mountain, muscles twisted, only his young face wore a cold smile: "If you kneel and swear allegiance to me, I can help you maintain your sanity after your body goes out of control."

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Lord, but as a member of the Human Clan, not retaining human form, I’m merely lingering on painfully—better dead than alive."

The Commander calmly waved his hand, suddenly abandoning his blade.

The long sword was stuck not far away.

"Thinking of seeking death?" the Tribulation Burning Great Elder voiced.

"Thinking of relieving the Elder Lord from trouble," the Commander said with a smile. "It seems I’ve lost this battle. However, what if I change the opponent for you?"

"With the Lord of the Residual Prison Mansion gone, there are few within Qifeng Prefecture who can fight with me!"

The body of the Tribulation Burning Great Elder was as towering as a mountain, and between his words, his True Qi permeated everywhere, already surrounding the Commander.

"Within a hundred li, every stir of wind and flicker of grass is under my control—no powerful beings are approaching."

"Who will save you at such a time?"

"After decades of struggle, I have finally won!"

His voice fell, and tens of thousands of True Qi suddenly rose!

It was as if Ten Thousand Arrows Fired, all targeting the Commander.

But at that moment, the Commander, unruffled, tore off his coat.

Inside the coat, a scroll was simultaneously unveiled.

The scroll unfolded in mid-air, portraying a person within it.

A man who looked like a youth with regular features, a smile on his face, exuding an exceptional air.

Suddenly, the man in the painting moved, stepping out, his form shifting between tangible and intangible.

In an instant, tens of thousands of True Qi froze.

"Li Shen Sect!!!"

A look of horror appeared on the youthful face of the Tribulation Burning Great Elder.

"Why didn’t you use this painting earlier?" Li Shen Sect turned to look and sighed, "You can’t truly trust me, can you? Otherwise, why would you end up with a severed arm tonight?"

"Your sword is still in the ancient ruins—coming from the painting, unarmed, you’re hardly a match for him," the Commander looked forward, and said, "He has abandoned his human form, not constrained by ’human body acupoints,’ and has surpassed the realm of Qi Refinement of this world."

"Then why use the painting now?" Li Shen Sect asked.

"Your sword has come out," the Commander said calmly.

"Then with this sword, let’s send the Great Elder on his way!"

Li Shen Sect reached out!

Then from a hundred li away,

The man who had escaped from the ancient ruins, his face changing dramatically, looked at the Sword Qi gourd in his arms.

The gourd trembled continuously, its stopper suddenly bursting open!

A vast amount of Sword Qi, like meteors showering, streaked across the night sky!

"I’ve long heard of the Great Elder’s name, junior Li Shen Sect offers this sword, please enlighten me!"

"Li Shen Sect, with your true form here, you might be able to fight me," the Tribulation Burning Great Elder said sternly. "Thinking of slaying me just by channeling True Qi into an ancient object?"

"You’re mistaken,"

Li Shen Sect formed a sword with his fingers, smiling, "This body here, like my true self..."

He gently pushed forward with his sword finger.

Behind the Tribulation Burning Great Elder, infinite Sword Qi converged, tens of thousands of blades, all of them landing on this mountain of flesh!

"Years of True Qi cultivation exercised in one fell swoop—Great Elder, you should be proud!"

Li Shen Sect’s tone was calm as his fingertip surged with a massive amount of True Qi, transforming into Sword Qi, rushing forward like a torrent of sword energy.

And his fingers, wrists, arms, until his whole body, gradually turned into Sword Qi, all surging forward.

In the blink of an eye, Li Shen Sect’s figure had vanished, transformed into a torrent of Sword Qi!

Front and back, Sword Qi clashed, and the Tribulation Burning Great Elder was instantly obliterated!

The Commander looked at the blank scroll in his hand and whispered softly, "Is this the new method passed down from Qifeng Prefecture?"
