Chapter 979: Chapter 979 Breakthrough in Cultivation, Direct Confrontation

"Is this guy absorbing my energy in reverse?"

Mu Qingxue’s complexion turned pale as she realized what was happening.

She finally understood that Lin Chen had become unimaginably powerful during the years they hadn’t seen each other.

At this moment, facing Lin Chen in the Blood Cocoon who was absorbing her energy, Mu Qingxue immediately tried to retrieve the Blood Threads connected to the cocoon.

However, no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t pull back the Blood Threads.

This left her looking distressed, knowing that if this continued, her power would be drained by Lin Chen, and her Cultivation would inevitably suffer.

Mu Qingxue thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and slashed the Blood Threads with her hand.

These Blood Threads were extremely difficult to refine in the Demonic Techniques, and cutting them by her hand was a significant loss to her.

But even so, it was better than being completely drained of Spiritual Power by Lin Chen.

After cutting the Blood Threads, Mu Qingxue also suffered some backlash and was injured.

Facing Lin Chen, Mu Qingxue began to retreat as Lin Chen’s power was too eerie.

Her Soul-Enchanting Bewitching Technique had no effect, and her Bloodthirst Technique was also ineffective. She found it hard to believe.

After all, these techniques were taught to her by Lord Black Devil.

Mu Qingxue slowly backed away, undecided whether to continue fighting or to flee at once.

"Junior Sister Mu, I didn’t expect to encounter you here."

"Have you been well these days?"

Just as Mu Qingxue hesitated, a man’s voice suddenly came from behind her.

Mu Qingxue turned to see that it was Xue Qing, feeling a sudden surge of joy.

Xue Qing was the top figure among the younger generation of Red Soul Hall and also the top figure of the younger generation in the Eastern Domain.

At this moment, Mu Qingxue saw that Xue Qing’s Cultivation had even broken through to the Half-step to Creation Realm.

Such a powerful level of Cultivation should be more than sufficient to deal with Lin Chen.

"It turns out to be Brother Xue, what a coincidence to meet at this time."

"Nothing much happened these days, but I just encountered a tricky guy from the Divine Flame Alliance; I hope Brother Xue can help me deal with him."

Mu Qingxue’s voice was bewitchingly soft as she spoke to Xue Qing.

After Xue Qing heard her, he trembled slightly, and his gaze roamed over her body.

Mu Qingxue’s attitude and her calls of "Brother Xue" stirred a masculine pride in Xue Qing, who wanted to stand up for her.

"Junior Sister, what are you talking about? It’s our duty as disciples of the Red Soul Hall to deal with the people from the Divine Flame Alliance. There’s no question of helping or not helping."

"Moreover, helping Junior Sister Mu is what I should do as a senior brother."

Xue Qing gazed at the spring scenery barely concealed under Mu Qingxue’s thin gauze, lust rising in his heart, but he soon remembered that she cultivated a Bewitching Technique and hurriedly shook his head, then turned his gaze towards the Blood Cocoon.

"Who is inside this, causing so much trouble for Junior Sister Mu?"

Xue Qing approached the Blood Cocoon and asked nonchalantly.

The words that followed from Mu Qingxue excited Xue Qing.

Because inside the Blood Cocoon was Lin Chen.

"Don’t worry, Junior Sister Mu. Leave this person to me."

In the past few days, every encounter Xue Qing had, the other party had escaped using Talisman Inscriptions.

Now that he finally caught someone who couldn’t escape, and rumored to have killed their Red Soul Hall’s ancestor Xue Yuanqing.

Since Xue Yuanqing was both his ancestor and great-grandfather, Xue Qing bore a life-and-death grudge against Lin Chen and naturally would not let him go.

However, just as Xue Qing’s words fell, the Blood Cocoon in the distance suddenly exploded, and a figure appeared in front of him.

Xue Qing was somewhat surprised; Lin Chen actually managed to break through Mu Qingxue’s Blood Cocoon.

Although Mu Qingxue joined the Red Soul Hall later, she was personally mentored by that great figure and made a disciple, so her strength was considerable.

"Lin Chen, die!"

Xue Qing looked at Lin Chen, eyes bloodshot as he leapt up, sending a full-powered punch towards Lin Chen.

"Perfect timing!"

Lin Chen had just broken out of the cocoon, absorbing the energy from Mu Qingxue’s Blood Cocoon and the Blood Threads, and his Cultivation made a breakthrough in one fell swoop, reaching the Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, just one step away from the Nirvana Realm.

Mu Qingxue was curious about Lin Chen’s breakthrough in Cultivation, wondering what secrets he hid that allowed him to absorb energy from the Blood Cocoon.

After all, this was something that only a Demon Cultivator could achieve, and not all Demon Cultivators could do it—only those with powerful Cultivation who practiced Bloodthirst Techniques could accomplish such a feat.

Mu Qingxue didn’t know that Lin Chen possessed the Primordial Transformation Art and found it easy to absorb her energy and the power inside the Blood Cocoon.

Faced with Xue Qing’s attack, Lin Chen had a solemn expression, gathering his power to meet the punch head-on.

"A mere Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm dares to clash head-on with me, courting death."

Xue Qing saw that Lin Chen didn’t dodge or evade but instead went to meet the attack, a mocking smile appearing at the edge of his mouth.

The two fists collided, creating a tremendously powerful shockwave that spread in all directions.

Both Lin Chen and Xue Qing were sent flying for miles.

"It seems that I need to diligently cultivate the Five Elements Body Tempering Divine Secret."

"If it hadn’t been for previously refining the Scorching Sun Divine Fist to strengthen my physique, and because I possess an Ancient Divine Body, that punch could have taken my life."

Lin Chen looked at his trembling arm and muttered to himself.

Over the years, Lin Chen had either been wandering in Secret Realms or confronting the Red Soul Hall, leaving little time to practice the Five Elements Body Tempering Divine Secret.

To master this divine technique requires endless trials and tribulations.

Over the years, Lin Chen’s formidable physique had garnered him many benefits.
