Chapter 786: Chapter 781: Chain - Part One

Lin Xin glanced around and found that he had accumulated a staggering 150,000 points.

"It seems that the sword form worked. Divine Form... I didn’t expect it to be a soul attack, bypassing the physical body. Such an attack can definitely ignore many undying features and divide incarnations, directly striking the true body."

It was his first time using one of the three sword forms that came with the Sword of Joy. He had used the first move during the battle with Xing Pengfei, but the second move, which was used now, turned out to be a soul attack.

That was completely unexpected for him.

However, he could also sense that this sword form, Divine Form, was not supposed to be this terrifying.

It was surprising that he could instantly kill a Heavenly Immortal incarnation with one strike.

It was only after the attributes stacked up, with attribute power, cultivation, and the accumulated power of the Sword of Joy strengthened by attributes, that a single burst occurred.

It exploded, killing a Heavenly Immortal incarnation and many Earth Immortal cultivators.

At this level, direct soul-attacking means are extremely rare; even if they appear, they are the ultimate kill of the most top-notch cultivation decisions.

It was unexpected that the First Layer of the Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword appears this way.

"If it’s a soul attack, even if the Heavenly Venerable’s incarnation is destroyed, the true body will inevitably be damaged alongside. It’s not just as simple as losing an incarnation. This explains why I didn’t gain many attribute points when I killed a Heavenly Immortal incarnation before, but now, so many attributes have surged in."

With this method, Lin Xin was even more confident in his heart.

By this point, he already had the power to grasp a glimmer of hope in this great disaster.

As long as he wasn’t besieged by top Heavenly Venerables or suppressed by a Taoist Ancestor, he could move freely without hindrance.

"Now, which direction did Venerable Shouru go?"

He glanced at the Array Spirit.

"It... it should be that direction!" The Array Spirit closed its eyes and calculated, its expression changing slightly as it pointed in a direction.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Xin noticed her anomaly.

"That direction leads to the main world of the Soul Sect... Bewildering Spirit Realm... Infinite Island." The Array Spirit honestly stated her concern, "We better not go there. The Soul Sect has obviously colluded with the Void Demon Spirits and Shadow City. The best course now is to quickly leave here and inform the other forces to solve it together."

"There’s no time left," Lin Xin said flatly. "Since Venerable Shouru has led me here, she must have set up a trap waiting for me to fall into. If I leave now, it might be even more dangerous."

He knew very well that although Shadow City was already in the twilight of its years, it was more than enough to deal with a small Earth Immortal like him.

His best plan now was to rescue Lin Yaoyang before the opponent responds and completes their formation.

Strike fast and catch the opponent off-guard, making them unable to exert their full strength. That was the key.

"Aren’t you afraid?" the Array Spirit asked in amazement. Knowing the danger, he still faced it so calmly.

"Afraid?" Lin Xin smiled, "Shouldn’t I be excited?"

He licked his lips, "Don’t you find this feeling of being on the edge of life and death thrilling?"

Back in the Nether Palace, he constantly flirted with death. That feeling made him feel alive, strongly feeling the present moment!

Moreover, his attributes were now so powerful that he could leverage the Sword of Joy to a perverse level.

Coupled with the terrifying speed and power of the kill points, slashing out tens of thousands of swords at once was a piece of cake for him.

In an instant, he could accumulate the power of the Sword of Joy to an unimaginable terrifying level.

With such a divine technique, if he were still afraid, it would be better to stay back home and cultivate quietly for life, never leaving the Nether Realm.

"This is the first time I’ve seen a cultivator at your realm, still so crazy!" The Array Spirit said with a complex expression.

Swoosh!!

The Escape Light shot out, crossing the sky over the plain in the blink of an eye like a pink meteor, breaking through the boundary membrane and passing through a small patch of the void, quickly arriving outside another new world.

A man with a massive black tail, over ten thousand meters tall, was curled up outside the new soul sect world, eyes tightly shut, seemingly asleep.

Lin Xin passed by him swiftly, charging towards the world’s boundary membrane.

"Who goes there!?"

The massive tailed man suddenly opened his eyes, reaching out towards Lin Xin’s red escape light.

Countless searing, sinister purple flames with shrill screams surrounded Lin Xin from all directions as the giant hand reached out.

"How dare you trespass the main gate of the Soul Sect!"

The massive black-tailed man roared, spewing a swarm of giant black ants towards Lin Xin. The number of ants was no less than hundreds of thousands, each over a meter tall.

"Just an outer gate!"

Lin Xin swung the Sword of Joy forward.

Swish!

A massive, terrifying sword light, stretching several kilometers, instantly flew towards the black-tailed man.

These top sects liked using giant species as guardians of their gates, but many of them, though huge, weren’t that powerful. They were at most at the Earth Immortal level.

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, they were great powers, but to top-tier cultivators like Lin Xin, they were merely gatekeepers.

These giant species were innately powerful, extraordinarily strong from birth, but had poor cultivation aptitude. Most giant species were born at the Fifth Rank Human Immortal level, but unlike the human race, it would take them at least tens of thousands of years, and only those with strong aptitude had a chance to break through the Fifth Rank.

Ordinary giant species, including the Giant Tribe, usually had limited power and rarely progressed further in their lifetime.

Sizzle!!

The sword light was merely an attack of Lin Xin’s pure cultivation through the Sword of Joy.

But the moment it touched the giant hand, the effect of attribute enhancement became evident.

The unenhanced Sword of Joy relied on attribute-enhanced speed, strength, and hardness.

When Lin Xin added his attribute-enhanced speed and strength, the combination made a qualitative leap.

Boom!!!

The giant hand was forcefully repelled.

The black-tailed giant roared, revealing deep blood marks on his palm, gushing out blood.

He lunged forward, trying to stop Lin Xin from entering the Soul Sect’s main world.

But it was futile.

In front of Lin Xin, countless world scars appeared.

A sudden flash of insight, Lin Xin casually slashed along a world scar.

Without any energy fluctuations, a dark crack to the Second Heavenly Realm instantly opened beside Lin Xin.

Whoosh!

A massive rush of air was pulled in, as the void realm tried to heal the wound leading to the Second Heaven, drawing in countless material and energy currents.

A gale erupted.

The crack to the Second Heaven snapped like an earth fracture, extending towards the lunging black-tailed giant.

Boom!!!

A colossal hole instantly appeared in the giant’s chest.

"Being too large has its own painful drawbacks," Lin Xin shook his head slightly as he swiftly passed through the side of the giant.

Such a huge size, when encountering world scars, tore them even wider. This triggered a fierce healing backlash from the local Mortal Realm’s void.

The void’s healing force was proportional to the volume entering.

A giant of the black-tailed man’s size had to deal with a healing force similar to a Heavenly Immortal’s when trying to enter the Second Heaven.

Not to mention Lin Xin purposely exacerbating the situation.

The black-tailed giant’s chest was brutally ripped open.

Countless blood and flesh scattered, floating in the void.

Boom!!

The black-tailed giant’s upper body exploded, leading to its fall.

"Huh?"

Lin Xin was slightly stunned.

"What happened?"

He had merely opened a crack to the Second Heaven. Could those world scars possess other special powers?

Following the Array Spirit’s directions and pursuing Lin Yaoyang, he divided his focus to examine this new ability of the world scars.

This was an ability naturally derived when his physical limits reached an unprecedented height in speed and strength.

"Is it more than just seeing world scars?"

Flying at high speed, Lin Xin casually slashed a nearby world scar.

Swish!

A white crack instantly appeared in the void.

Countless white gases rushed out.

The giant’s fall immediately attracted patrolling Soul Sect cultivators to investigate the situation.

Lin Xin’s speed was too fast for them to intercept.

Hovering mid-air, he observed his hands.

Just a light touch tore open the space, releasing countless tiny white worm-like creatures flying in all directions.

The black-tailed giant’s corpse was soon swarmed by white flying insects, crazily gnawing at the flesh.

Ignoring the pursuing Soul Sect cultivators,

Swoosh, Lin Xin pierced through the boundary membrane, greeted by a bright new scene.

Inside the light red membrane was a vast red sea, floating with innumerable corpses.

Red waves frequently rose high as winds blew across.

Distant eerie cries and shouts were occasionally heard.

Hovering high, Lin Xin overlooked the entire red sea, faintly smelling a strong stench of blood.

"Who dares to trespass our Soul Sect main world!!" a team of black-robed cultivators with strange iron masks flew in from afar.

The masks bore grimacing faces with three glaring eyes, exuding a ghastly feel.

Without a glance, Lin Xin vanished with the Array Spirit’s guidance.

In his vision, the red sea below blurred into red shadows, and the surrounding air solidified, becoming hard as iron.

Lin Xin forcibly tore through the air.

The gas turned solid was indicative of astonishing speed. Any other cultivators witnessing Lin Xin’s movement would be speechless with shock, even Earth Immortals.

It’s not that others couldn’t reach this speed, but they dared not.
