Chapter 492: Chapter 486 Demonic Flame 3

Meng Xinruo, the Witch of Qichen, didn’t just crush with raw strength and speed in her Void Soul Refinement; at a single moment’s notice, she could summon dozens of different Yuan Jing Level mystical creatures from the Outer Regions, transforming into microscopic viruses to merge into the unfortunate victim’s skin, body, and Soul Domain. Even if the victim was a Yuan Jing Cultivator who had achieved Integration, they could be reduced to pus and blood in a single breath, powerless to resist.

And if they were lucky enough to survive, their condition would be wretched beyond compare, with innumerable pustules and maggots burgeoning from their flesh, ultimately leading to their cultivation exploding out of them in a self-destruct, spreading the plague.

Thus, her palm technique was also known in the Outer Regions as the Void Plague Refining Soul Divine Palm, one of the top Divine Skills among the Central Prefecture’s techniques.

Even when they had initially encircled Yuan Qiuque, who wielded the Life and Death Demon Sword, he also didn’t dare to take a full-powered strike from Meng Xinruo head-on. The fact that Yuan Qiuque had been seriously injured back then just goes to show how terrifying it was.

And now, the person before her, this youngster who had only just come into contact with the level of a True Monarch, had actually withstood a hit from the Void Plague Refining Soul Divine Palm head-on!

This was as laughable as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator suddenly being able to kill a Golden Core Daoist Master.

But no matter what, the fact was laid bare before everyone’s eyes.

Lin Xin had indeed blocked Meng Xinruo’s soul-refining palm strike. And he stood there, face unruffled before them all.

"Could it be... his flesh has reached sainthood?!!" True Monarch Yao Teng no longer dared to treat Lin Xin as an ordinary True Monarch.

Everyone present understood just how troublesome and terrifying someone who had achieved a saintly body, which was robust, resistant to magic, and unbreakable, could be.

For a moment, Meng Xinruo’s mind flashed with dozens of Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills that could possibly achieve the effect this man had, but none were as shocking as what she was witnessing.

"It must be a Secret Technique, right? I want to see how long you can hold on!"

She lifted her palms, drawing circles in the void, tracing arcs and lines.

These lines appeared semi-transparent, solidifying in midair, lingering for a long time.

Behind her, the colossal Void Shadow slowly materialized the better half of its upper body.

It was in fact a giant with a height of dozens of meters, with muscles bulging in a blue-black hue and a bald head.

This giant had countless small mouths crowding the top of its head; the less than two-meter diameter head bore dozens of gruesome mouths, each filled to the brim with numerous white serrated teeth, looking exceptionally terrifying.

The rest of the giant was entirely black, with its lower half in a gaseous state, exuding an ancient and timeless aura.

"Supreme Holy Spirit!"

Meng Xinruo’s palms suddenly stopped, and both of her hands completely exploded, transforming into a mass of black fog which then coalesced into two exceedingly sharp Black Blades.

"Go!"

With a fierce shout, the black behemoth behind her burst forth, both gigantic black hands swiftly elongating, also turning into two black mist blades, charging towards Lin Xin.

Lin Xin smiled, opening his arms wide as countless clouds of black fog slowly emanated from him, with a sequence of protrusions rising on his back, pushing against his clothes. The Seventh Layer of his Primitive Demon Body was undergoing a new transformation.

As if resonating, a blood-red Rune slowly lit up on his forehead. His body began to gradually elongate, his muscles twisting and churning violently as patches of black and red scale-like substances sprouted on the surface of his skin.

Shick!

A pristine white bone spur suddenly pierced through Lin Xin’s back.

Then came a second, a third, a fourth...

More and more bone spurs erupted from his back, quickly forming a long line of spines along his spine from top to bottom.

His back started to arc slightly, and the outer sides of his thighs swelled, splitting open to reveal two symmetrical slits from which astonishingly grew two complexly structured, short Sword Forms bone spurs.

His forearms continuously generated tube-like protuberances that resembled cannon muzzles, attaching to the outer sides of his lower arms.

Each arm appeared to be bound with dozens of miniature cannons; however, the blue-black channels behind those cannons extended directly into his flesh.

Shick!

His ears, which had somehow turned into batwing-shaped oddities, suddenly spread wide with a snapping sound.

Ah!!

The bat-like ears even released a sound resembling a woman’s piercing scream.

Countless waveforms transformed into transparent ripples, emanating from Lin Xin as the center, spreading out in all directions.

Hum.....

Quan Sheying also had to open up her Soul Domain and transform into her Demon Body to resist this shockwave.

At this moment, Meng Xinruo’s Black Blades had reached Lin Xin’s front, with two blades the size of ordinary men swinging from left and right, seemingly attempting to snip him in half at once.

Lin Xin’s four Moonlight Swords unsheathed from his back simultaneously, each blade covered with a layer of blood plasma, turning into four red beams that instantly smashed onto the Black Blades.

At the same moment, Lin Xin drew the Silkworm Moon White Sword with both hands, slicing upwards. The power tripled and erupted immediately.

Clang!!

Before the horrendous sound could fully spread, the moment the Black Blades were pinned, their edges suddenly sprouted countless black crystal spikes like living creatures, raining down a torrential storm onto Lin Xin’s face.

Puff puff puff puff....

Like a rain of black crystals, they resembled a series of rhombus ice crystals striking Lin Xin’s face one after another. The dull thuds sounded like beating on wood.

Lin Xin kept retreating from the relentless impact. His entire face was battered, twisted, and mutilated, with blood and bits of bone flying out.

Destruction and healing fought a relentless battle, making his entire facial features a bloody, indistinct mess.

All the black crystals kept falling down, then shattered into countless fragments of gravel, gradually surrounding Lin Xin from all sides. Within just a few breaths of time, they enveloped him completely, solidifying into an irregular, massive black crystal.

Meng Xinruo coldly stared at Lin Xin within the crystal, his every movement frozen at the last moment of being sealed and immobilized.

"The Holy Spirit Crystal can continuously extract all your life force at any time. Let’s see if you can break free again...?"

Bang!!!

As soon as her words ended, the black crystal suddenly cracked and exploded into pieces with a loud bang, and Lin Xin slowly walked out from within.

Indeed, these crystals could absorb and plunder life force, but their plundering intensity couldn’t match the speed of Lin Xin’s own physical recovery.

The Holy Spirit Crystal Body itself also needed life force to absorb, in order to continuously strengthen its own hardness, and without absorbing life force, it was no different from ordinary diamonds. For ordinary people, a diamond might be sufficiently hard to prevent escape.

But for a Yuan Jing Cultivator like Lin Xin, whose physical body was unimaginably strong, it was nothing more than a slightly harder paper shell.

Meng Xinruo’s face turned completely dark; just moments ago, she had confidently touted how formidable her Holy Spirit Crystal Body was, only to be proven wrong in the blink of an eye.

Pfft.

Quan Sheying, standing to the side, couldn’t help but laugh openly without any consideration for her feelings.

Meng Xinruo’s face darkened even more, but at this moment she had no time to quarrel with Quan Sheying. Lin Xin had already raised his hand, aiming the Jade Immortal Bow at her.

A flash of golden light shone on the Jade Immortal Bow.

The bowstring was drawn taut and released.

Whizz!!!

Without a sound, Meng Xinruo only felt a pain in her chest, her complexion instantly changing as she flickered rapidly to the side.

In just the blink of an eye, she had flashed hundreds of meters away.

Demonic Vine True Monarch, following close behind, had somehow sprouted vast expanses of dark green vines with leaves that quickly enveloped and wrapped around Meng Xinruo’s entire body.

With a single pull of the bowstring, Meng Xinruo merely had a slight change in complexion, her physical strength obviously far surpassing the average Yuan Jing. The Jade Immortal Bow, capable of bursting the Nascent Soul’s heart and entire vascular system, merely caused her some chest pain.

Lin Xin smiled, his fingers already on the bowstring again.

"True to your reputation as the eighth rank on the Heavenly List and the strongest fairy known as Kai Chen, you could block that shot. But what about this?"

Squeak...

The bowstring was slowly drawn back again.

Hum hum hum hum!!!

In an instant, Lin Xin, holding the Jade Immortal Bow, began to crazily pull the bowstring at a speed where only afterimages were visible.

At a terrifying pace of over ten draws and releases per second, the bowstring trembled violently, and invisible fluctuations suddenly surged towards Meng Xinruo like a storm.

This time, it wasn’t just Meng Xinruo who was affected; even Quan Sheying, who was watching from the side, changed color and fled into the distance as fast as her legs could carry her.

The wild and invisible ripples followed a mysterious transmission, no longer simply linear. They were so intense that they began to spread and affect the surroundings.

Just by standing to the side and observing, Quan Sheying felt an intense pain in her heart, as if it might explode at any moment.

Lin Xin’s fingers were continuously mangled, with blood and bone splattering. Soon, his index finger was snapped, replaced by the middle finger; when the middle finger broke, it was replaced by the ring finger. By this time, the index finger had already healed, cycling over and over. One hand held the bow, the other plucked the string.

He stood in the dark void, with the invisible waves spreading around him like the raging sea. The Illusory Sea above was stirred into countless splashes, forming a circular area of white froth centered around him.

Caught off guard, Meng Xinruo was targeted. Her face instantly paled, she bent over, and the green leaves covering her body from the Demonic Vine True Monarch withered and yellowed at a speed visible to the naked eye, shedding many leaves.

She looked up towards Lin Xin and saw nothing but dense distortions and ripples. Her heart swelled and squeezed tighter, as if someone were clutching it relentlessly with their hand.

As her heart changed, Meng Xinruo’s hand slowly reached for a spot on the skin of her right thigh.

Murderous intent began to seep into the depths of her eyes.

"Master, no!" The Demonic Vine True Monarch sensed her movement and was immediately alarmed, urging her with pain in his voice.

"If you use that, although you’re sure to kill the opponent, even if you win now, the loss will outweigh the gain!"

Meng Xinruo was all too aware of this, but she was not willing to accept it. A mere ordinary True Monarch, a weakling she could normally crush single-handedly, had now pushed her to the brink of injury with the aid of a Jade Immortal Bow!

"How many years has it been? How many years since someone has pushed me to such a state!" Meng Xinruo’s tone was sinister, and her voice cold.

"Master, please calm down, the bigger picture is more important!" The Demonic Vine True Monarch was getting anxious. "You’ve already endured for so many years, there’s no need to concede this one time."

"Enough!!" Meng Xinruo shouted in a fit of rage.

"Black Flux Soul Decision!!"

Behind her, a black giant suddenly brought its arms together, twisted like a twined rope, and rapidly condensed into one hand.

Countless colored light spots representing Taoist Intent came from all around, covering the arm and turning it into an array of colors.

The arm thundered as it slowly reached toward Lin Xin.

Despite its slow speed, it seemed as if it engulfed the entire world within it, freezing, slowing, poisoning, burning, vibrating, inducing fear, corroding, piercing...

An array of Taoist Intents burst forth, instantaneously locking down the space where Lin Xin was situated.
