Chapter 627: Chapter 628 Young Man

Scarface and his companions, as well as the frail man, looked at the smiling young man in a white robe, their eyes revealing deep fear.

Especially the leader, Scarface, the burly man who had stepped forward earlier was a Ninth Level Soul Martial Artist from the Nirvana Realm, a strong fighter second only to himself among the group.

Yet, as he approached the other party, he didn’t even see how the young man had struck before he was dismembered.

There was only one possibility: the young man and woman before them were not as weak as their auras seemed to suggest. Instead, they were powerful beings with strength reaching the heavens.

Indeed, these young men and women in white were Lin Qian and Ye Xin, who were traveling from the Eastern Continent to the Chaotic Star Sea.

The two rode a small Cloud Boat, floating in midair; although they were on a rescue mission, there was no need to hurry too much.

According to the Muling Clan, Fang Shuiwen, Zhou Yian, and Yang Guixiang were hiding in the remains of an underground world. And that particular underground world was where the Muling Clan lived.

Races like theirs were deemed unworthy of dwelling on the surface, so they were relegated to living underground.

However, the ruins where they took refuge would not open again for another three years, so there wasn’t much point in Lin Qian arriving early. It was better to take this time to enjoy different sights with Ye Xin.

Therefore, when they entered the territory of the Chaotic Star Sea, they set their sights on this small island.

It was Lin Qian’s long-cherished scenario to unsheathe his sword and help the weak; since it was just a small effort, why not use it to pass the time and cultivate his disposition.

“Senior, we were blind and have offended you. Please forgive us.” In the next instant, Scarface snapped back to reality and hastily bowed in apology to Lin Qian.

Confronted with Scarface’s apology, Lin Qian’s face showed a mocking expression, “Forgive you? Let me tell you, this island is mine, the trees are mine to plant. If you want to live, leave behind your valuables as payment. It’s a robbery!”

Pfft!

Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Ye Xin couldn’t help but laugh, “Little Qian, how come you say that so smoothly? Have you often robbed others before?”

“Hmm, there was a time when I did this quite often,” Lin Qian replied after thinking about Ye Xin’s question.

He still remembered from his past life, when he played games, he used to declare wars with such words, finding them exceedingly amusing.

Hearing Lin Qian’s words, Scarface and his group looked uncomfortable, “Senior, these meager possessions of mine are probably not enough to catch your interest. Perhaps you could be magnanimous and let us go as if we were nothing but a fart.”

“Since you’re so reluctant to part with your trivial possessions to save your lives, then use your lives instead.” As Lin Qian finished speaking, his eyes slightly narrowed, the immense pressure of the Transcendence Realm surged from within him, sweeping toward the others.

That invisible ripple washed over them, Scarface and his companions’ expressions froze, and the spark of life in their eyes faded at a rapid pace, eventually collapsing one by one onto the sandy beach of the island’s edge.

The young frail man standing nearby watched the scene before him in horror. The enemies who once made him feel so desperate and powerless were now dead in the blink of an eye, and the young man hadn’t even made a move—just glanced at the villains.

Such might was simply too terrifying.

“I’m afraid that young man might be much more powerful than Senior Liu,” the frail youth swallowed, thinking fearfully as he watched the young man and woman.

And he was also clutching tightly to the treasure pouch in his embrace, his gaze toward Lin Qian filled with wariness.

In fact, he wanted to run, but his legs inexplicably gave out, making it impossible for him to move.

“Fourteen years old, at the Ninth Level of the Nirvana Realm, and it’s even a Nine Cycles Nirvana, without having started the replenishment. Such talent is truly remarkable.” By this time, Lin Qian had already reached the frail youth and looked down, “Xinxin, if it were in the Central Domain, such qualifications would be highly sought after, wouldn’t they?”

Ye Xin, who was following beside Lin Qian, nodded as she looked at the youth: “Indeed, but something seems to be sealing off his strength, preventing him from displaying his full power.”

Hearing Lin Qian and Ye Xin chatting, the frail youth’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He should only be at the First Level of the Nirvana Realm, how could he be at the Ninth Level, and a Nine Cycles Nirvana as they mentioned? Could it be that the collapses of his Realm during the Shape Origin Realm had already completed the so-called Nirvana process without his knowledge?

“What’s the matter, you don’t know your own situation?” Noting the confused look on the frail youth’s face, Lin Qian was quite curious.

Ye Xin, after pondering for a moment, suddenly realized: “I understand now. Did you by any chance consume a purple spiritual medicine that had faint patterns and was filled with abundant Spiritual Energy?”

Ye Xin’s words made the frail youth stammer, “I… I did consume that kind of spiritual medicine. I stumbled upon it in the woods on a small island, and seeing the dense Spiritual Energy, I couldn’t help but take it, and it directly promoted me to the Shape Origin Realm.”

Hearing the frail youth’s response, Ye Xin also came to a realization, smiling at Lin Qian: “He has consumed Locking Town Grass, could that be the cause of this?”

“Locking Town Grass?”

“Yes, after taking this spiritual medicine, it forms chains that lock away the true Realm of the user, putting them in a state of seal. In this state, breaking through a Realm is much more difficult than before and one cannot exert their true strength, but the gains from each breakthrough are tremendous.”

“However, it’s best to break the medicinal chains before reaching the Sky Breaking Realm; otherwise, there’s no way to undergo replenishment. With his talent, he could clearly go through replenishment to become a Ten Cycles Nirvana, laying a perfect foundation.”

Hearing Ye Xin’s words, Lin Qian also smiled and nodded: “Indeed, it would be a pity to miss out on this opportunity because of that. Let’s go all the way with good deeds and break the shackles binding you.”

As soon as Lin Qian’s words fell, he suddenly reached out toward the frail youth in front of him.

Click, click, click!

The sound of metal sliding instantly rang out as Lin Qian stretched out his hand, to the frail youth’s astonishment, purple chains formed from Spiritual Energy inside his body suddenly burst out and were grasped by the young man in front of him.

“Break!” With a soft murmur from Lin Qian, his right hand suddenly exerted force, and the thick purple chains were instantly torn apart, breaking apart into glimmers of purple light.

The frail youth couldn’t help but fall backward to the ground, looking at the scattered glimmers of purple light in front of him and the smiling Lin Qian.

“Congratulations on your rejuvenation, young man!” Lin Qian’s right hand suddenly clenched, the remaining purple chains in his palm crushed to dust, as he grinned at the other person.
