Chapter 640: Chapter 635 Great Assault 3

Smack!

Lin Xin grabbed the sharp blade, clenching tightly.

But a hint of madness flickered in his eyes, narrowing slightly like the edge of a sword. "Since you’ve come out, then... die for me!!!"

Shick!

The blade was forcibly yanked out as the assailant quickly retreated.

But it was already too late.

Boom! A massive tremor shook the area.

A ring of white flame exploded in the sky, the terrifying heat vaporizing everything it touched instantly.

The dense formation of Void Demon Spirits held up for merely a second before being burnt through.

With Lin Xin as the center, countless white flames burst out wildly, completely incinerating and purifying everything around.

At this moment, the attacker revealed its true form, a monstrous creature with a red dragon’s head and a human body. Its arms didn’t end in hands but two sharp black spikes instead.

It swung its blades wildly, black fog rising from its body, swirling with numerous golden symbols inside, facing the Purifying Fire. It tried to retreat further, but it was momentarily blocked by another tall shadow.

As soon as the black fog touched the Purifying Fire, it was like cold water poured into a hot oil pan.

Boom!

There was no other sound between heaven and earth, as a white light exploded violently, forming a sun that instantly vaporized tens of thousands of Void Demon Spirits.

Lin Xin and the dragon-headed humanoid were also caught in the direct blast, propelled backward, each crashing into the ground.

The entire plane shook violently.

"Ha... ha... hahaha!!"

Lin Xin lay on his back in the crater, suddenly bursting into uncontrollable laughter.

His arms had been blown off, who knows where they had gone. One leg was broken off at the root, the bones shattered to dust.

Half of his torso on the left side was missing.

His neck and head were connected only by a freshly healed blood vessel.

He was covered in blood and mud, a sight of extreme wretchedness.

Despite such horrific injuries, he still laughed wildly, feeling extremely relieved.

The dragon-headed humanoid had tried to escape, but Lin Xin had momentarily blocked it with his Sacred Body. The result was Lin Xin was critically injured but not dead, while the dragon-headed humanoid was burnt alive, leaving no remains.

After all, with Lin Xin’s terrifying physical condition, even he was blasted to such a state; needless to mention that Void Dragon-Headed Humanoid.

This fight alone earned him hundreds of attribute points!

Before he could carefully tally them, the sky was suddenly swarmed by countless Demon Spirits diving down madly again.

With no time to recover from his injuries, Lin Xin raised the only remaining hand and swung the Extreme Speed Sword with all his might. Other parts of his body also began to rapidly heal and regenerate.

Whir!

At that moment, a subtle vibrating sound rhythmically emanated from the air above.

Lin Xin’s heart trembled slightly, and the healing speed of his body noticeably slowed down.

Shick!

Another dragon-headed humanoid appeared above, diving viciously towards him.

Lin Xin, shocked, swung his sword to cleave through the surrounding Demon Spirits before blocking upwards with all his strength.

Clang!!!

His one remaining hand was nearly shattered by the impact, blood spurting from his unhealed wounds.

In desperation, he swung his sword furiously to temporarily deflect the dragon-headed humanoid, then shot up into the sky, ramming into the swarm of Demon Spirits, using his incredibly robust body as a drill to smash his way through.

He quickly took out a prepared healing pill, the Soul Return Pill, from his Space Ring. He had refined it himself, and it was very effective even for Fifth Rank Human Immortals. It was also the only pill prescription he possessed that was useful even for Fifth Rank Human Immortals.

When he had spare time, he had refined it many times using materials from the Underworld and finally completed three such pills.

The Soul Return Pill required several iterations of refinement, with tens of layers of medicinal properties combined within and without. The complexity of the process was staggering.

But it achieved the terrifying effect of using ordinary medicinal strength to affect even Fifth Rank Human Immortals.

When he swallowed the pill, it rolled out of the broken throat wound.

"Damn it!"

The Sacred Body emerged, the body of the Demon God from the Underworld, which was now ragged and torn apart by the previous explosion but still far better than his original body.

Wielding two more Magic Swords, he furiously slaughtered the surrounding Demon Spirits trying to pounce on him, giving Lin Xin a brief respite.

No matter how many attributes, he needed to secure his head first, recover over time, and have a period of rest to regenerate his strength.

After all, the enhancement of attributes was a process over time, not instantaneous.

And in this kind of rhythmic battle, Lin Xin dared not be distracted. A single lapse could result in deadly consequences.

He simply grabbed the pill and stuffed it into his severed throat, no longer bothering with his mouth.

Then he quickly glanced at his attribute panel, beginning to add points to his physical constitution.

Boom!!

The Sacred Body was sent flying backward, landing heavily on him and interrupting his actions.

Spurt!!

Another mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Lin Xin roared, ten wings unfurling from his back. The last bit of his strength erupted, and a vast expanse of white Purifying Fire spread out again, engulfing everything in its path.

All the Demon Spirits were burnt to ashes, except for three dragon-headeds, who, still ablaze with white fire, crazily lunged at him, fearless and undeterred.

The Sacred Body stepped forward to intercept but was bisected in less than a half-second.

One of the dragon-headeds reached Lin Xin’s battered body and viciously stabbed towards his dantian.

"Thunder Emperor!!!"

In the heat of the moment, Lin Xin mustered all his strength and tuned the frequency.

A massive blue disk materialized behind him, with a whirlpool of water slowly spinning inside and countless thunder runes moving and jumping within.

Amidst the thunderous noise, a giant hand reached out from the disk, passing through Lin Xin’s body as if he didn’t exist, and collided with the dragon-headed humanoid’s incoming strike.

In the palm’s center, the face of an old man appeared, opening his eyes.

Boom!

Both exploded at the same time, a mass of blue-black light expanding outward.

The three Dragon-Headed Beings retreated explosively, their bodies charred.

At that moment, Lin Xin felt the effects of the medicine kicking in, with endless Taiqing Qi crazily surging from within his body, unleashing the potential of his flesh.

Taking advantage of this newfound energy, he spun his sword in rapid succession, suddenly turning into a circle of whirling blades, the Purifying Fire on the sword’s edge joining in the howling rotation.

In mid-air, it was as if a white ring had appeared, slashing towards the three Dragon-Headed Beings.

Hum!

His body abruptly slowed down, his movements delayed by a beat.

The pressure of three Polar Regions bore down simultaneously, converging into the power of the Fourth Realm, manifesting as a crushing force attempting to pin him in place.

Lin Xin forced his Third Level Void Realm to operate at full capacity, his spiritual power rapidly depleting with a splitting headache ensuing.

But with his formidable physical strength, he still barely managed to break free from the control.

"Ba Niu (Desert Bull)!"

In desperation, he vibrated the Red Flower Sword, adjusting its frequency to one of the Sword Techniques he had never used before.

Ba Niu was one of the two Void Existences Lin Xin had accidentally discovered alongside the Thunder Emperor. Its power was incredibly terrifying, unknown whether it was a Demon God or a Heavenly Demon or some other entity from the deepest parts of the Void.

Sharing the same attribute of thunder and lightning, Ba Niu’s thunder was not for direct damage, but rather to enhance the user’s speed.

Originally, Lin Xin had no need for it since his own speed was already swift.

But facing three Dragon-Headed Beings and now severely injured, he had no choice but to invoke the Void Existence with the Sword Technique, amplifying his own abilities.

Boom!!

A ring of eye-shaped red lightning bloomed from Lin Xin, forming a circle around him.

His body’s speed soared in an instant with a sprint.

The Red Flower Sword, coupled with a whip of red lightning, viciously smashed into one of the Dragon-Headed Beings.

This sudden eruption of speed forcefully broke through the Polar Region blockade, catching the several Dragon-Headed Beings off guard.

Slash!!

One of the Dragon-Headed Beings was cleaved in two by the sword.

The eyes of the remaining two immediately turned red as they both lunged fearlessly towards him.

Lin Xin quickly stuffed a Soul Return Pill into his mouth and gripped his blade tightly to face the onslaught.

*******************

On the other side of Xian Yuan Mountain.

Shen City.

Above the pristine white battle fortress, white-gold ribbons intertwined to form a network, while countless small black discs floated within its interior.

Each disc was embedded with a multitude of Spirit Jade and Spiritual Marrow, forming various Rune patterns.

Outside the white-gold net, innumerable Void Demon Spirits madly dove down, swinging their claws trying to tear through the net, but any Demon Spirit that touched the net instantly exploded as if burst by a breath.

Inside the net.

A dense array of white Taoist soldiers stood in formation, looking up at the battle situation, ready to engage in combat at any moment.

Along the city wall stood a line of green-robed cultivators, all watching the Demon Spirit army in the sky with grim expressions.

"There are too many... has the frontline collapsed?" whispered a cultivator who had just returned.

"Not a collapse, but a Void Spirit Tower has turned traitor and was directly destroyed, letting in too many Demon Spirits," Shen Tang spoke deeply.

He turned his head to look at the elder beside him.

"Are we ready?"

"Everything is in place."

"Then let’s begin."

As soon as Shen Tang spoke,

the elder broke a small object in his hand that resembled a jade stick.

The ground suddenly burst forth with several flagpoles, the flag cloth unfurling in the wind with blood-colored symbols that resembled, yet weren’t, dragons.

Ao!!!

In an instant, countless red lights converged above the entire fortress, coalescing into an immense red Dragon Beast several thousand kilometers long.

It had a snake-like body with no claws, a head roaring at both ends, displaying only a mouth devoid of eyes, nostrils, or ears.

As the Dragon Beast appeared, several Dragon-Headed Beings manifested and dove down aggressively. The power of the Polar Regions was unleashed and overlaid, taking on the realm of a Fourth Realm entity, forming an invisible and transparent force field that pressed down fiercely.

"Fifth Rank, Fourth Level!" Shen Tang’s expression darkened drastically.

Boom!

The massive explosion spread immediately.

The Dragon Beast, which had just been summoned, perished instantly along with the three Dragon-Headed Beings.

"It’s a Blood Descendant of Sebolis..."

With the Dragon Beast destroyed, Shen Tang’s face couldn’t look grimmer.

"Sebolis? Could it be the Army Master of the Heavenly Demons from the Second Heaven?" the elder beside him also changed color drastically.

"It must be... otherwise, we wouldn’t have such formidable Dragon-Headed Demon Spirits showing up," Shen Tang affirmed with a serious nod.

"Prepare for a tough battle, and call on Elder Yu Xiu at any moment in case a higher-level Blood Descendant of the Army Master intervenes."

All hearts sank. The fact that they had to call upon an Earth Immortal of the Sixth Rank so soon clearly showed the situation was dire.

"Immediately apply for resources through the Life Spirit Tower and report the appearance of Sebolis’s Blood Descendants. We can’t hold out on our own," Shen Tang quickly ordered. "Also, send word to other battle fortresses to converge here.

We can help open the passageways of the battle fortresses."

"But the expenses are too great..."

"At a time like this, what does it matter what it costs!"

Shen Tang interrupted impatiently.
