Chapter 225 - Promotion Through Two Heavens

The effects of the Ice and Fire Dual Realm were perfectly embodied in him, as the two completely opposite forces collided within his body.

Lin Xuan carefully guided this power, continuously converting it.

Three days later.

The giant rock blocking the cave entrance shattered with a loud bang, and a terrifying wave of Spiritual Power surged out from within.

The surrounding wind and clouds stirred violently, forming a whirlwind with an impressive momentum.

Lin Xuan walked out slowly, a smile on his face.

He hadn’t expected the power of the Ice and Fire Intense Flame Wine to be so great that it had elevated his cultivation from the Spirit Sea Fourth Layer Heaven to the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven.

And his strength had increased by at least fivefold.

Now, even if he encountered Meng Yan, he wouldn’t have to run away blindly.

With powerful Sword Intent and the eerie Soul Attack at his command, he completely had the power to fight.

“It’s time to leave,” Lin Xuan calculated the days and realized that the battle for the Engraving Tower was very close.

“First, I’ll pick up Zhao Xue.”

With a flicker of his body, he dashed toward the direction of Flame City.

In Flame City, Lin Xuan’s arrival caused an invisible storm.

Everyone knew he held a Sixth Grade Spiritual Fruit, something that could drive all Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artists crazy.

Countless eyes were watching him, and many were itching to act.

Lin Xuan found Zhao Xue and quickly left Flame City.

As soon as the two left the city, they discovered they were being followed.

“Do you want me to take care of them?” Zhao Xue asked.

In the past few days, she had been incessantly studying the stone beads; her Soul Power had reached the level of the Second Seal Soul, so her strength had greatly increased.

“They’re just jumping clowns; don’t bother with them,” Lin Xuan shook his head.

Half a day later, the people behind caught up with them.

There were three in total, dressed in black and wearing masks.

One of them had a powerful aura, having reached the Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Heaven.

Zhao Xue’s expression became grave; with such an array of adversaries, it would be difficult to face them even with her Second Seal Soul Power strength.

Little did she know that Lin Xuan had no intention of letting her act.

He stepped forward slowly and said in a deep voice, “I’ll give you one chance, get lost!”

“Otherwise, die!”

“Kid, don’t think that just because you’re from the Engraving Alliance, we don’t dare to touch you!”

“Out here in the wilderness, even if you die, no one will suspect us brothers.”

“You shouldn’t have, you shouldn’t have possessed a sacred item like the Fire Dragon Fruit!”

The three masked Martial Artists sneered menacingly.

“Nonsense!”

Lin Xuan’s expression turned cold, and he suddenly threw his right fist.

“Seeking death!”

A Black-clothed Martial Artist from the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven sneered, and his Long Sword suddenly slashed out.

The Sword Light soared into the sky, soaring horizontally like a ribbon, bringing with it a violent wind.

Lin Xuan’s face remained expressionless, and Red Copper Thunder Patterns emerged on his arm, with complex Runes covering his fist.

Crack!

His fist smashed into the Sword Light; the robust fist instantly shattered the dazzling Sword Light and, without losing momentum, charged towards the Black-clothed Martial Artist.

Crack!

Boom!

Under the gaze of the crowd, the Black-clothed Martial Artist’s Long Sword broke in two, followed by the shattering of his Protective Defense, and then the fracturing of his ribs.

Puff!

Thunder surged, and the force was terrifying.

The Black-clothed Martial Artist from the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven turned into a pile of mush, falling to the ground.

Hiss!

The remaining two Black-clothed Martial Artists gasped in shock, looking at Lin Xuan with a frightened gaze.

That was a Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven Martial Artist!

And he had been killed with a single punch!

Zhao Xue covered her mouth in shock, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

At the same time, she felt a strong sense of defeat in her heart.

She had thought that with the improvement of her Soul Power, the gap between her and Lin Xuan would be significantly reduced.

But now, the gap between them was widening.

Not only had Lin Xuan’s cultivation reached the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven, his strength was also terrifying.

To be able to shatter a Spirit Sea Sixth Layer Heaven martial artist with a single punch, even early Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Heaven martial artists might not be capable of that.

“Together, attack!” “He must have used a secret technique to increase his strength!”

The Spirit Sea Seventh Layer martial artist roared lowly.

The two rapidly charged towards Lin Xuan, unleashing dazzling attacks.

Clang!

Lin Xuan drew the Autumn Trace Sword and with a single sword drawing technique, he slew the Spirit Sea Sixth Layer martial artist.

“Wind Emperor’s Sword!”

Sword Intent surged as Lin Xuan thrust out his sword.

Pff!

The pupils of the Spirit Sea Seventh Layer martial artist dilated, his face still wearing a disbelieving expression.

A sword hole appeared between his eyebrows, blood and brain matter spurting continuously.

Boom!

The martial artist fell to the ground.

Zhao Xue looked on dumbly at Lin Xuan, feeling as if she were dreaming.

That was a Spirit Sea Seventh Layer martial artist, so why did he seem as weak as a chick?

Lin Xuan sheathed his longsword, the Sword Intent around him disappeared, and even the Spiritual Power dissipated.

He was quite satisfied with the Wind Emperor’s Sword’s performance, which was at roughly fifty percent mastery.

“Let’s go,” Lin Xuan turned back, showing a harmless smile.

Oh.

Zhao Xue subconsciously nodded, her body somewhat numb as she followed him.

In the following days, martial artists continuously found them, but Lin Xuan always resolved the issues with ease.

At night, the bright moon shone high.

Lin Xuan lit a bonfire and roasted two wild boars.

Zhao Xue propped her cheeks with her hands, her gaze fuzzy as she stared at the firelight.

Suddenly, her brow furrowed, and she turned to look at Lin Xuan.

“Just sit tight,” said Lin Xuan, his voice calm.

He added some charcoal to the fire and looked into the distance.

There, a formidable presence was rapidly approaching.

Lin Xuan stood up and waited quietly.

Whoosh!

A figure landed, smashing the ground, with terrifying cracks spreading in all directions, accompanied by a scorching heat.

“It’s not Meng Yan,” said Lin Xuan, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.

“Who do you think you are, to be worthy of Senior Brother Meng’s attention?” The newcomer was disdainful.

“My name is Han Zhen, and I’ve come today to take your life!”

With that, the young man drew the long spear from his back and pieced it together.

Instantly, a sharp presence climbed on his body.

“Spear formation!” Zhao Xue exclaimed from a distance.

“You’ve got some insight!” Han Zhen smiled proudly, “My spear formation is of Great Success, and it won’t be weak even compared to a Mental Realm!”

Lin Xuan was mildly interested.

It seemed the Three-star Sect truly was extraordinary; even a random individual was a peak existence among the younger generation.

“Interesting, I hope you won’t disappoint me!” Lin Xuan drew his longsword.

Like a Divine Sword unsheathed, a piercing aura spread around him.

Tingling!

Clanging!

The Great Dragon Sword Intent clashed with the Great Success Spear Formation, two invisible forces constantly colliding in the void like thunder strikes, creating terrifying ripples.

Zhao Xue felt worried for the first time; she saw someone resisting Lin Xuan’s Sword Intent, and the opponent’s cultivation was at the Spirit Sea Seventh Layer Heaven, clearly outclassing Lin Xuan.

However, Lin Xuan seemed to harbor no fear.

Swoosh!

Han Zhen attacked first, the long spear quivering like a Flood Dragon emerging from the sea, stabbing fiercely.

It was as if the air itself was torn apart, the ground shattered, revealing a terrifying crack.

This spear thrust was ferocious to the extreme!

“Wind and Thunder Stab!”

Lin Xuan also thrust out his sword, Sword Intent surging as a several dozen meters long Sword Qi thunderously descended, crashing onto the long spear.

The two forces collided, the air vibrated, and energy rippled out in all directions like waves.
