第五卷 天云十二州 第一千一百九十四章 斩虚光柱与千丈巨峰

A strange celestial phenomenon suddenly appeared, leaving the members of the Luo Family in shock. However, they quickly recovered their composure as soon as they noticed that the formidable enemy had retreated without a fight. They let out a sigh of relief but also felt some unease. No one dared to chase after them alone and all turned to look at the gray-haired elder.

"Let's go!"

The thoughts in the mind of the head of the Luo Family were racing, but there was no time for him to dwell on it as his enemy had retreated. He was worried that the blood of the Deva King might be in the hands of the enemy. Although this was just a possibility, its success or failure would determine the fate and prosperity of the Luo Family. Thus, he transformed into a streak of lightning and rushed towards the inner chambers.

The members of the Luo Family did not hesitate to follow their ancestor's lead. With the head of the family taking the lead, they all unleashed their powers and flew towards the ruins.

Silence soon settled over the place as the mountain breeze blew past. The strange phenomena continued but only left behind broken stones and the marks of swords and axes on the pillars. No one knew what had happened here—first possession, then conflict with the members of the Luo Family...

Meanwhile, in a certain section of jade steps, a plain-looking young man was seated cross-legged while an exceptionally beautiful girl gazed at him tenderly.

Of course, this was Lord Lin and his servant Moon.

Moon's eyes were filled with a sense of daze. She felt extremely happy. The identity of the Deva King was indeed invaluable but to her, it seemed like a heavy stone that had been pressing on her for these days, making it hard for her to breathe.

She did not fear the retaliation from true immortals; what she feared most was if Lord Lin would abandon her.

Now, all those worries were unnecessary. Lord Lin was willing to be with her forever and ever, even if they had to fight against the heavens. Even if they fell into the netherworld together and endured eternal torment, as long as they were by each other's side, it was happiness.

Hearing this, Moon felt deeply moved. She no longer desired anything else after Lord Lin showed such care for her. Although their future path remained uncertain, she would not be afraid anymore with Lord Lin beside her. True immortals? What could be more terrifying in the world?

"Deva King..."

Moon's lips slightly parted as she murmured softly. According to Xiao Tao, this was her secondary residence. Could obtaining that drop of blood from her past life truly lead to successful cultivation and formation of a baby soul?

Her mind raced with various thoughts. A deafening thunderclap echoed in the air, causing Moon to look up. She saw silver snakes dancing across the sky as thick lightning cut through the sky, accompanied by wind and thunder.

Lord Lin slowly opened his eyes. Such an extraordinary scene could not be ignored.

"Lord Lin, you've woken up," Moon said with a delighted expression on her face, although she had called him "Brother Lin Xuan" earlier when she was moved. However, the girl's skin was thin and she could no longer bring herself to say it after that.

"Hmm." Lord Lin nodded but did not notice the thoughts in the girl's mind. The scene before them was too astonishing—more powerful than the formation of a baby soul. Could there be some extraordinary treasure about to appear?

Lord Lin pondered this, naturally thinking of the blood of the Deva King.

With these thoughts, he could no longer bear to sit still and immediately stood up. With his energy fully recovered and injuries not a significant issue anymore, Lord Lin estimated that he should now possess around 90% of his usual power.

He could not continue to linger here.

"Hmm?"

After standing up, Lord Lin suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Moon blinked her eyes, looking puzzled as she asked, "Lord Lin, what's wrong?"

"The seal seems to have been lifted; I can detach my divine consciousness now."

Lord Lin's face showed signs of joy. For cultivators, the divine consciousness was far more important than physical senses. He had never experienced his divine consciousness being completely sealed before, and it felt like a blind and deaf person—extremely uncomfortable.

"Oh."

Moon nodded in confusion. As this place was her secondary residence from her past life, the seal here did not affect her much.

Lord Lin took a deep breath and slowly released his divine consciousness.

It wasn't that the seal had been completely lifted; he could only extend it to about twenty miles.

However, Lord Lin was already satisfied. He noticed something subtle—over time, the range of his divine consciousness seemed to be gradually expanding. In other words, the seal here was not removed in one go but weakened step by step.

"This is quite interesting."

Lord Lin rubbed his forehead with a thoughtful expression. However, he did not have much time for contemplation at this moment. The blood of the Deva King must not fall into others' hands; it related to Moon's successful cultivation and formation of a baby soul.

After listening to what the girl had said, Lord Lin knew that her obstacle was due to the true immortals altering the laws of nature on purpose.

Apart from the drop of blood from her past life, there was no way to break this curse. In other words, it was a case where failure was not an option.

Moreover, Lord Lin was curious about what would happen if Moon, as the reincarnation of the Deva King, inherited that drop of blood and progressed to the stage of an immortals—would anything unusual occur?

With these thoughts, determination flashed in his eyes. He could no longer afford to linger here. Turning around, he looked at the armadillo and the corpse demon.

The intense battle earlier, especially the final strike, had left both creatures severely injured. Their bodies were almost unrecognizable, with numerous wounds, some of which were bleeding profusely. If it was a cultivator, they would have died or their physical body would have perished without any doubt.

However, as demons from the Netherworld, although unable to move, these injuries were not enough to be fatal and only required rest before they could recover.

Lord Lin sighed and reached into his waist pouches. Black light flashed as he sealed both creatures inside them. He had no urgent need for their recovery at this moment.

After completing everything, Lord Lin scanned the square again but found that the final strike was too violent; the Nine-Headed Serpent had completely transformed to nothingness, leaving behind not even its inner core.

Otherwise, the essence of the demon ghost beast would have been beneficial. Speaking of which, he really felt like he had fought in a daze. If he knew earlier that this creature was Moon's spirit pet, he should have let her appear from the start and spared them such a grueling battle. The water cloud silk treasure obtained from Old Monster Qiang was destroyed without any success.

The only emotion he could describe was frustration. However, Lord Lin did not go completely empty-handed; through his confrontation with the soul fragment of a Separated Soul at the stage of an immortal, Lord Lin had gained some understanding of his own strength.

In summary, he should be considered to have just entered the realm of immortals. If he pushed himself to the limit, he could slightly improve but still fall short compared to the top tier of the early stage of immortals.

This was already quite remarkable; after all, it was rare for cultivators to challenge those above their own level.

Today's update is 1000 words. Today, Fantuyu has to accompany his girlfriend. However, yesterday, he received divine favor and wrote a lot, finishing today's quota even though he worked until past one in the morning. Thank you all for your support!
