Chapter 578: A New Limit!
Chapter 578: A New Limit!
Everyone was stunned to see Lin Xuan dare to make a move. They figured the kid really didn’t want to live anymore.
Huo Yuner shook his head. "This Lin Xuan is too arrogant, completely ignorant of his own limitations."
You Ruo bent over laughing. "Haha, what a true idiot."
Ouyang Aotian clenched his fists in excitement. "That kid is a dead man for sure."
The rest of the crowd was also in an uproar, as none of them believed Lin Xuan could win. The Tianyang Alchemy Alliance was filled with despair. Wan Er was so scared she nearly fainted; her worst fear had come true. Lin Xuan had actually engaged Master of the Netherworld in battle. He was probably doomed. Her vision went dark, and she almost collapsed.
However, things did not go as they had imagined.
The Nether Grandmaster had been slapped to death in an instant.
Soon, one of the light shadows on the Treasure Tower vanished. Seeing this, everyone shook their heads and sighed. That Lin Xuan had been turned to ash, seemingly killed in a single strike. Alas, the difference in power was just too great.
"I don’t understand how that kid dared to make a move. Wouldn’t he know to kneel and beg for mercy?"
"Perhaps he considered himself an Alchemy genius and grew too arrogant to care about the consequences."
"You can only say he’s young and impetuous, with no idea of the true immensity of the world."
The Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance erupted in laughter, while the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance was plunged into despair.
But just then, someone spoke up. "Wait, I have a feeling that the surviving shadow isn’t the Nether Grandmaster. It seems to be... Young Master Lin."
Impossible. The members of the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance rolled their eyes. The Nether Grandmaster was dead? What a joke! He was a late-stage eight-star Grandmaster; how could he possibly fall?
Even You Ruo laughed when she heard this. "You can’t be serious. Are you trying to say that Young Master Lin killed the Nether Grandmaster? What kind of joke is that! Do you really think that kid could do it? The disparity is too great. Even if he has an Anomalous Fire and can fight above his level, there’s no way he can cross that many realms."
You Ruo didn’t believe it. Ouyang Aotian didn’t believe it. Huo Yuner didn’t believe it. The surrounding elders didn’t believe it. No one believed it.
Yet, a glimmer of hope ignited within the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance. They hurriedly looked toward the tower, their eyes widening in disbelief.
"It’s wonderful! Young Master Lin is still alive!"
Wan Er awoke from her despair and asked, "Elder Li, is it true? Is Young Master Lin really alive?"
Elder Li nodded. "That’s right, it’s true. The aura on that light shadow is Young Master Lin’s. Young Master Lin is still alive!"
Wan Er screamed with excitement.
Huo Yuner rolled his eyes. The Tianyang Alchemy Alliance must have lost their minds, spouting such nonsense.
You Ruo sneered. "How could that kid possibly still be alive?" She refused to believe Lin Xuan could kill a late-stage eight-star Grandmaster, much less in a single blow. It was too absurd, too unbelievable.
The others also shook their heads and sighed. They knew Lin Xuan had an excellent relationship with the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance; he was practically their benefactor. The alchemists were probably just unable to accept the news of his death. But it was an unchangeable fact. That Young Master Lin was dead.
The Tower Master hadn’t been paying close attention, but hearing the words from the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance, he turned his gaze forward. His eyes shone with a sharp light. The next moment, he froze, realizing something was wrong. He examined the scene carefully and then exclaimed, "Young Master Lin is indeed still alive!"
What?
His words caused an uproar. It was one thing for the Tianyang Alchemy Alliance to talk nonsense, but this time, the one speaking was the Tower Master—a true Grandmaster. If even he said so, could the survivor really be Young Master Lin? It seemed impossible, but a Grandmaster of his caliber would never make a mistake.
Gradually, others began to notice the truth.
"Looking at this aura, it really doesn’t seem like the Nether Grandmaster. It must be Young Master Lin’s aura."
"That’s right, he’s the one who’s alive."
"The Nether Grandmaster is dead!"
When the news was finally confirmed, everyone went mad.
Heavens above! The Nether Grandmaster was actually dead! A late-stage eight-star Grandmaster was instantly killed!
How did this kid do it? This is completely heaven-defying! Could it be that this kid was hiding his strength? Could the Anomalous Fire really be this powerful?
This was crazy. At this moment, everyone was losing their minds. Their faces were filled with utter shock and disbelief. The result was far too unexpected.
Huo Yuner was dumbfounded.
Ouyang Aotian was scared witless.
The Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance was in despair.
As for You Ruo, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was having a meltdown. How could this be happening?
Just then, Wan Er smiled. "You Ruo, did you see that? Young Master Lin has created another miracle. Let’s see if you still dare to underestimate him in the future."
You Ruo spat out a mouthful of blood. Her earlier pride was now matched only by her current despair. She had been brutally slapped in the face again, and this time her face was utterly smashed!
「Inside the Treasure Tower.」
A blood mist filled the air. Lin Xuan waved his hand, dispersing it before walking forward. He finally arrived before the Thunderfire Bodhi, reaching out to grab one. The Thunderfire light on its surface flickered, attempting to resist him. But when Lin Xuan’s hand became covered in Dragon Scales, exuding the aura of a Dragon Warrior, the light automatically scattered.
Lin Xuan easily obtained a Thunderfire Bodhi. The next moment, he swallowed it.
BOOM!
The Thunder Fire Power within his body erupted, surging through his internal organs and his Dragon Vein. Lin Xuan roared, activating the Myriad Dragon Body to rapidly absorb the power. After absorbing one Thunderfire Bodhi, he continued with the second, and then the third. There were four in total.
Lin Xuan absorbed them all. His aura soared once more, reaching a new limit. That’s right—his Myriad Dragon Body had reached its limit again. A new, higher limit. Now, not only was he invincible among eight-star cultivators, but he could also sweep away an entire group of eight-star Grandmasters.
HAHAHA! Lin Xuan laughed, throwing his head back. He was incredibly excited. It was truly the Trial Tower left by the Dragon Race. This place was his promised land. He wondered what kind of trial and treasures awaited him on the fourth floor.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan stomped his foot and soared into the sky, his speed reaching an unbelievable extreme. He shot through the air like a bolt of lightning, and finally, he reached the end of the third floor and entered the fourth.
「Meanwhile.」
On the third floor, the three Grandmasters who had left earlier had searched the area but found no other treasures.
They sighed. "Alas, it seems that besides the Thunderfire Bodhi Tree, there’s nothing else on this third floor. Let’s go back and take another look."
The group prepared to return and try to find a way to break the Thunderfire Barrier. But when they arrived back near the Thunderfire Bodhi Tree, they froze in shock.
Heavens, what happened? The Bodhi on the tree were gone. All four of them had disappeared!
"Damn it, who took them?"
"Could it have been that boastful Young Master Lin?"
"Could he have really opened the Thunderfire Barrier? Impossible. There’s no way he’s that powerful."
"It shouldn’t be Young Master Lin. I bet the Nether Grandmaster did it. Damn it, he must have used some trick to open the Thunderfire Barrier and take all four Bodhi. We were too careless. We never should have left."
The three of them were extremely frustrated.
"We have to find the Nether Grandmaster and take back the Bodhi."
"Exactly. With his strength, he shouldn’t be able to enter the fourth floor. He must still be on the third. We have to find him."
The three Grandmasters made their decision and prepared to act. But just then, one of them suddenly paused. He pointed at some lingering blood mist on the ground. "Look, there’s blood mist here. Someone died."
Another Grandmaster said, "The Nether Grandmaster probably grabbed the Thunderfire Bodhi and then casually killed that Young Master Lin. That kid had a feud with the Jiuyou Alchemy Alliance, and the Netherworld Sect wouldn’t let him go. This must be his blood."
"Forget about that. Let’s hurry and find the Nether Grandmaster to get those Bodhi!"
