The robust man’s armor could resist the beaks from the crows, but the armor couldn’t block off the corrosive black flames. As for the middle-aged man, he was relying on his movement technique. So he could only last as far as his spiritual energy could take him.
But they weren’t willing to see Lin Yun leaving with the profound core.
“Brother Lin, there’s no need to make the relationship between us foul. As long as you’re willing to compensate us with some Xiantian beast cores or mid-grade spiritual stones, we’re willing to let you have the profound core.” The middle-aged man spoke without any confidence in his tone.
The robust man nodded his head, “This is a good suggestion! Your Fiery Demon Battle Physique might be strong, but you will definitely exhaust yourself if you fight us.”
“Nope.” Lin Yun rejected with a smile. He wasn’t afraid of a fight, and even if he would have to bear exhaustion, he would still have an advantage over them.
Crack!
The robust man carelessly took a peck from the hole in his armor, which was corroded by the Blackflame Crows. He had stood within the onslaught of crows for too long, and his armor was reaching the limit.
“Damn it!” The robust man roared. He fled after killing a few Blackflame Crows in the surrounding.
“Have a safe trip!” Lin Yun smiled. He was still holding on among the onslaught of Blackflame Crows.
“I’ll remember you, brat!” The middle-aged man gave a deep glance at Lin Yun before leaving as well. After the robust man left, he had no confidence in taking Lin Yun on by himself.
With that, only Lin Yun remained in the pile of bones. He could feel the sorrow of this scene, experiencing the brutality of Martial Dao once more.
“I never expected…that the profound core would go to Lin Yun.”
“That old foggy might be strong, but he still died in Lin Yun’s hand. What a surprise!”
“That old foggy deserved it. If he had dodged the sword box, he wouldn’t be ganged upon by the crows.”
“In the end, we still underestimated our enemy.”
The surrounding people did not leave. Their eyes were on Lin Yun with greed, and their discussion was filled with admiration for him.
Lin Yun had accomplished it at the expense of many lives!
It was destined for cultivators to step on the corpses of many others to rise, and no one would take pity on the weak.
Looking at the pile of corpses on the ground, Lin Yun’s face turned grave. Perhaps he would also become one of them in the future, but there was no retreat since he had taken the path.
The surrounding cultivators sighed at Lin Yun’s departure before they dispersed. But this was only the beginning of the Azure Sun Realm, and there were countless possibilities. Soon enough, everyone regained their fighting spirit.
Carrying the sword box, Lin Yun found a remote area and settled down. He had searched the surrounding for a quarter-hour before he felt relieved after ensuring that there wasn’t anyone else.
After all, it was a profound core that he was talking about, not to mention that it was from the Purple-Lightning Demonic Dracoape, that possesses the ancient dragon’s bloodline. As the profound core value was too great, Lin Yun couldn’t afford to be careless.
Lin Yun retrieved the profound core after settling down. The second the profound core was taken out, a violent aura spread out to the surrounding with purple lightning flickering on it.
“Let’s try and see if I can refine this profound core.”
If he could refine a portion of this beast core, his cultivation would definitely soar. Crossing his hands together, Lin Yun placed the profound core before his Dantian and circulated the Xiantian Pure Yang Art.
The terrifying power contained in the profound core surged, gushing into his body. The golden cyclone in his Dantian radiated with mighty spiritual energy to contain the terrifying power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Two different energies clashed violently in his body. His spiritual energy was having a tough time dealing with the profound core’s violent energy. This was the first that he had encountered this situation ever since he practiced the Xiantian Pure Yang Art.
In the past, the Xiantian Pure Yang Art would become more excited when encountering violent energy. But this time, it had suffered a loss.
“What violent energy…” Lin Yun was shocked to discover that it was tough for him to refine the energy from the profound core. But he wasn’t surprised by it after a brief ponder.
He was only in the Fourth Orifice, and a Profound Martial Realm’s beast core was too much for him. His Xiantian Pure Yang Art might’ve reached the highest fifth stage, but the gap compared to a profound core was too great.
But fortunately, he did not have to refine it himself. Lin Yun kept calm and circulated the Thunderblitz Battle Physique.
To reach the fourth stage of the Thunderblitz Battle Physique, he had to use the profound core as the core to fuse with the Fiery Demon Seal.
The spiritual energy tried to refine the core, guiding the violent energy into the Fiery Demon Seal.
Boom!
Simultaneously, the profound core’s energy had found an exhaust to vent out and poured into the Fiery Demon Seal. Under the profound core’s energy, the Fiery Demon Seal began to dissolve and fuse under the Thunderblitz Battle Physique’s technique.
At the same time, the primary and secondary relationship began to change. Half a day later, the profound core had taken the primary position, while the Fiery Demon Seal became the secondary.
“That’s halfway there now! I’m only left with forming the Thunderblitz Seal now.”
Many people had tried practicing the Thunderblitz Battle Physique, but it’d been years since someone achieved the same accomplishment with Lin Yun. Most cultivators had dropped it in the first two stages, but it was rare that Lin Yun could reach the fourth stage at his age.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Yun started condensing the Thunderblitz Seal carefully. As time passed, the profound core in between Lin Yun’s hands was only grain-sized left.
It wasn’t as violent as before, with most of the energy absorbed into Lin Yun’s body. When the last bit of profound core left disappeared, a magenta seal started to take form.
Boom!
In that instant, flickers of lightning accompanied by flames exploded, filling up every nook and cranny in Lin Yun’s body, even his cells.
Under the tempering of lightning and fire, Lin Yun began to release an alarming aura. His body started to transform from the inside due to the Thunderblitz Seal.
Clouds began to gather, attracting a strong wind and lightning. Simultaneously, Lin Yun’s physique underwent a shocking transformation.
A brief moment later, Lin Yun let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes. There was a magenta seal etched deep in his pupils, flashing and disappearing shortly after. With that, he had finally succeeded in the Thunderblitz Battle Physique.
When he balled his fist together, his joints cracked and he could sense the terrifying power gathering in his fist. Throwing his fist forth, Lin Yun created an air blast with his punch.
“What power!” Lin Yun rejoiced. That punch wasn’t his full power, and he could imagine how powerful it would be if he used his full force.
Lin Yun closed his eyes and examined his body. At the center of the golden cyclone, the Thunderblitz Seal emitted strange magenta flames and lightning.
But when he recalled the violent power that it was releasing a moment ago, Lin Yun felt a chill down his spine. The Thunderblitz Seal was like an untamable ferocious beast residing in his body.
“Let’s not use the Thunderblitz Seal unless absolutely necessary. The Fire Demon Seal is completely pale compared to the Thunderblitz Seal.” Lin Yun was somewhat worried. He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to grasp the Thunderblitz Seal.
But even without activating the Thunderblitz Seal, the current strength of his physique even exceeded the Perfect Fiery Demon Battle Physique.
“It’s time to head to the ruins.” Lin Yun swept his glance out with excitement. After all, the ruins were his real motive in coming to the Azure Sun Realm. His figure dashed out like a hunting leopard.
“This is…” Lin Yun saw the Dragon Blooded Horse in the plains four hours later, leading a herd of horses behind it.
Every single horse was permeating the aura of primordial demonic beasts, at least in the Fifth Orifice of the Xiantian Realm. It was a shocking scene watching the horses galloping through the plains.
Lin Yun was speechless at how the Dragon Blooded Horse mixed together with these primordial demonic beasts. If someone went over rashly, they would be trampled to minced meat.
“That fellow seems to be doing great.” Lin Yun smiled and continued his journey to the ruins.
After half a day of traveling, a surge of boundless desolate aura swept over. When Lin Yun raised his head, he could see massive ruins before him.
“Is this the flourishing sect in ancient times?”
The massive scale of this ruin stretching out to the horizon left a deep shock in Lin Yun. The designs of some buildings went against logic, but it still stood firmly countless years later.
Looking at the desolate ruin, Lin Yun was overwhelmed by sorrow.
“I’m afraid that this ruin is bigger than the entire Azure Sun County. I wonder how a sect as powerful as this fell.”
