Chapter 448 Femme Fatale
A Heaven Ascension expert had ultimately fallen to the domain’s restriction power. It made Lin Xun feel surprised and shocked but also filled him with a sense of disappointment.
If the restriction power had not come, the earlier battle should have been enough to fully materialize his Origin Aeth Artery.
Unfortunately, the process had come to a halt once again.
Buzz~In his hand, the black flag gleamed cryptically.
Lin Xun could not help but feel a pang of pain as he examined it. The rune armament had been damaged by the restriction power and was now broken.
“I’ll have to find a chance to repair it in the future…”
Lin Xun stored the black flag and took a deep breath as he looked in a certain direction.
It was the direction Gu Lei and the injured successors had fled in.
Rustle!
Lin Xun disappeared from the spot.He could not forgive them for snatching away his scarlet fire gourd!
……
“That kid’s far too frightening!”
Sometime after Lin Xun left, numerous cultivators emerged in the vicinity. Their faces were still filled with shock from witnessing the earlier battle.
“A single person practically slaughtered the entire Golden Light Sect group. Even a Heaven Ascension expert like Liang Yaozhen was forced to use his full power which ultimately led to his demise by the restriction power. How pitiful.”
Many people sighed as their expressions changed indeterminately.
“Who is that youngster? With such frightening combat power, isn’t he essentially unstoppable in Treasure Drop Blood Plain?”
“Yeah, due to the restriction power here, Heaven Ascension experts do not dare to use their true power unless it’s a matter of life and death. On the other hand, this youngster is already strong enough to face a Heaven Ascension expert. This is honestly quite terrifying.”
The cultivators looked slightly scared as they talked about Lin Xun. They could not imagine where such a demon-god-like youngster had come from nor understand why no one had ever heard of him before.
……
Swoosh~
Lin Xun flew through the sky as his enormous spirit power spread outwards in search of the Golden Light Sect successors.
Meanwhile, he was also assessing his current condition.
The berserk power in his body was still in a highly dangerous and volatile state while the new Origin Aeth Artery above his four heart acupuncture points was just a step away from fully materializing.
It made Lin Xun feel rather helpless.
This was an example of the walls cultivators encountered in their cultivation journey.
Lin Xun’s Origin Aeth Artery had originally been the extremely unique and peerless Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer.
He had never considered there would be a possibility of regaining it after it had been taken from him all those years ago.
Due to a series of coincidences somehow aligning together, there was now a chance for his Origin Aeth Artery to be reborn anew. However, nothing seemed to go his way and it felt as if this was no longer just a streak of bad luck.
To be more precise, his new Origin Aeth Artery was very possibly too powerful and heaven-defying. Hence, the difficulty of materializing had also been greatly increased.
At times, Lin Xun could not help but wonder if there was some mysterious force at work that was stopping its formation.
In the battle against Daoist Bear, the latter had given up and withdrawn at a critical moment.
The fight with Zhu Lingtian had been abruptly interrupted by the opening of the tunnel.
Earlier, during the duel with the white-robed elder, just as Lin Xun was about to fulfill his wish, the restriction power appeared and annihilated his opponent.
Never mind if it had merely happened once but after something similar happened three times, Lin Xun could not help but suspect that his new Origin Aeth Artery was too special and fate could not allow things to go smoothly.
“It doesn’t matter. No one in Treasure Drop Blood Plain can stop the birth of my Grand Abyss Heaven Devourer!”
Lin Xun took a deep breath as his black eyes filled with determination.
An incense stick of time later.
Lin Xun suddenly stopped. He could sense that a battle had just ended in the sky some distance away.
What made his expression darken was that the side that was being slaughtered was the Golden Light Sect group.
The culprit was a beautiful and sexy young lady. Her fair skin seemed to gleam like a crystal, and her bewitching mannerisms exuded a charm that could cause the downfall of nations.
It was the Myriad Spirit Land successor, Lian Dieyi!
The smell of blood spread in the air. Even the Heaven Ascension expert, Gu Lei, had been killed.
Lian Dieyi gracefully stood amidst the carnage as her slender fingers toyed with a scarlet gourd. Her beautiful eyes gleamed in anticipation while a smile emerged from the corners of her lips.
Without personally witnessing it, no one would believe that this bewitching beauty had single-handedly slaughtered all of the Golden Light Sect successors!
“Ah, we meet again, handsome brother.”
Lian Dieyi did not seem surprised when she discovered Lin Xun. With light steps, she gracefully walked through the air toward him.
“Return that ancient treasure to me.”
Lin Xun coldly stared at Lian Dieyi.
“This is my prize. Is there perhaps some misunderstanding?”
Lian Dieyi blinked her beautiful, limpid eyes. The corners of her mouth curled slightly up as she displayed her pearly-white teeth, making her appear crafty and mischievous.
Any other cultivator would have long been captivated by her charm and have lost their composure.
However, Lin Xun remained indifferent. “Did you think I wasn’t aware that you were secretly watching while I was fighting those Golden Light Sect successors earlier?”
Lian Dieyi was slightly taken aback. She clasped her hands together and sighed in admiration. “How amazing. As expected, I was right about you. Little handsome brother, you’re truly formidable.”
She was basically admitting to it.
“Give it to me.”
Lin Xun’s tone remained forceful as if he was ready to draw his blade and attack at any moment.
Lian Dieyi’s brows knitted together as she pitifully said, “Little handsome brother, you’re too heartless. Is this how you treat me after I helped you?”
She pouted a little while revealing even more of the fair, glowing skin of her ample bosoms. It was a seductive posture that could take anyone’s breath away.
Shiang!
Lin Xun drew the Violet Soul Blade and pointed it at Lian Dieyi. Even a fool would know what this gesture meant.
Lian Dieyi’s expression finally changed slightly. However, she was not angry but instead sighed deeply before tossing the scarlet gourd to Lin Xun.
“Are you happy now?”
There was a sliver of resentment between Lian Dieyi’s brows.
Lin Xun was somewhat surprised that she would hand over the scarlet fire gourd so easily. He stared at her for a long time before ultimately sheathing his blade and turning to leave.
Although her beauty was indeed very pleasing to the eye, to Lin Xun, such a woman was also very difficult to deal with. It was impossible to guess her intentions and, from how she had slaughtered the Golden Light Sect successors, it was clear that her combat power was also extremely terrifying.
Lin Xun did not wish to come into contact with her any more than necessary.
“Hey, are you leaving just like that? Aren’t you being too heartless?”
Lian Dieyi angrily caught up and glared at him with her large eyes. She lightly bit her full, moist, red lips, producing an irresistibly charming sight.
“What else do you want?”
Lin Xun frowned. The more she acted like this, the warier he became.
“Haven’t you figured it out yet? I want to cooperate with you to seek out a big opportunity!”
Lian Dieyi could tell that it would be difficult to gain Lin Xun’s approval without showing sincerity and thus came clean.
“Why me?”
Lin Xun glanced at her.
“It’s simple. You’re strong, very strong. Moreover, I can tell that your power is still evolving.”
Lian Dieyi’s eyes glowed as she said, “It might not be much in the outside world, but in Treasure Drop Blood Plain, your power makes it worth it for me to seek your cooperation.”
Lin Xun understood and could not help but feel surprised by her keen insight.
It was true. In Treasure Drop Blood Plain, Heaven Ascension experts did not dare to use their true power because they were worried about the backlash from the restriction power.
Under such circumstances, Lin Xun, who could wield power comparable to the Heaven Ascension stage while not being at the Heaven Ascension stage, became a very special existence.
“How about it? Do you want to take a risk with me?”
Lian Dieyi looked straight at him with a rarely seen sincerity on her beautiful oval face, “I can tell you that if we manage to grasp this opportunity, we will not only obtain numerous, unimaginable ancient treasures but even Monster-Beast King Luohou’s secret arts and inheritance!”
Monster-Beast King Luohou!
Lin Xun’s heart violently shuddered as he recalled something he had heard before. It was said that Mount Luohou was the burial ground of the all-powerful Monster-Beast King Luohou!
If such a supreme power’s inheritance was indeed hidden in Treasure Drop Blood Plain, it would indeed be a peerless opportunity.
A faint smile rose from the corners of Lian Dieyi’s mouth. She knew that Lin Xun had been tempted and was satisfied by this response. It was only logical. After all, which cultivator could reject such a peerless opportunity?
To her surprise, however, Lin Xun ultimately shook his head as he replied, “Apologies, I am not interested.”
After which, he turned around to leave again.
“You…”
Lian Dieyi was stunned, unable to believe her ears. Did he just reject my offer?
Soon after, a trace of anger rose between her brows. As a successor of Myriad Spirit Land, she was famous in the outside world and would never be treated lightly by anyone.
Today, however, even after displaying her sincerity and trying both the hard and soft approach, the youngster had still repeatedly turned her down. She had never experienced such a rejection in her life.
“That little punk is so aggravating. You’d better pray that you don’t meet me again or I will drain your essence blood and eat you up until not even your bones are left!”
Lian Dieyi angrily stomped her feet before she also turned around and left in a huff.
That woman must be very unhappy with me.
Far away, Lin Xun thought to himself before he soon shook his head.
Lian Dieyi’s proposal was very attractive. Unfortunately, Lin Xun was focused on materializing his Origin Aeth Artery and had no interest in such matters.
Most importantly, he could not discern her true intentions!
That was why he was being this cautious. To be safe, he would rather keep his distance from that abnormally sexy woman than take a gamble on his life.
Swoosh!
He quickly cast away these thoughts and chose a random direction to fly away in.
On the way, he took out the scarlet fire gourd and began to inspect it. It was the first time he had obtained an ancient treasure, and he was curious to know what kind of magical abilities it had.
