The Sovereign’s Ascension

Chapter 376



Chapter 376

In the Black Lotus Palace, Lin Yun was extremely exhausted after making it through the test. The ninth level was more challenging than he had imagined. The flaw left behind by the white-clothed man was extremely secretive. But it was still found as this was ultimately a test.

The white-clothed man had gone easy on him. But Lin Yun guessed that the others must be also facing the same difficulty or they even failed the test. The majority of the reason why it made it through the test was due to the fact that he was trained in the way of swords. So he was extremely sensitive to the flaw leaked by the white-clothed man.

“There’s no hurry. Let’s refine the Yin-Yang Pellet first.” Lin Yun waved his hand and retrieved the Yin-Yang Pellet. The aura from the pellet had manifested into two dragons that coiled around the pellet. He could tell that this wasn’t an ordinary pellet with just a glance.

Lin Yun had a feeling that it would be a waste for him to refine this pellet at his cultivation, but he couldn’t be bothered about it. The disadvantage in his cultivation was magnified in his battle with Bai Yue, and if he didn’t rely on his physique to force Bai Yue to use his three trump cards, it was uncertain if Lin Yun could win the fight.

Furthermore, he would be suppressed if he was purely relying on the Dragon-Tiger Fist and Dracophant Battle Physique without his sword. He could be lucky once, but not twice.

“Sorry about that. I don’t have a choice, even if you’re a divine pellet.” Lin Yun still had to fight in the ninth level’s Lotus Treasure Stage and there was also the tenth level’s test waiting for him. So he didn’t have much choice but to refine this pellet.

When the Yin-Yang Pellet reached his dantian, Lin Yun’s aura started to rise. He had never used any pellets after reaching the Profound Martial Realm, so the effects from the Yin-Yang Pellet was horrifying.

Others might not be able to make any progress even in half a year after reaching the eighth stage. But Lin Yun’s cultivation was rising rapidly, reaching the mid phase eighth stage in the blink of an eye. The two dragons were rampaging in his body, breaking through Lin Yun’s bottleneck violently.

The other pellets and treasures Lin Yun had consumed couldn’t even be compared to this pellet. At the same time, Lin Yun also knew why Bai Yue would have such a big reaction when he saw the pellet.

The two dragons charged through in Lin Yun’s body, transforming his body from within. At the same time, the energy from the pellet refined his origin energy once more. As the energy circulated, black impurities began to ooze out of Lin Yun’s skin.

He was like a piece of jade being cleaned. The entire process took two hours, and Lin Yun’s cultivation also reached the ninth stage. With all the impurities removed, his skin looks as smooth as a baby’s skin. When Lin Yun opened his eyes, his eyes glowed brightly without any impurities.

Lin Yun let out a breath and he could feel that his body had gotten lighter. In reality, there weren't any changes to his weight and appearance, but he had been transformed from the inside out by the Yin-Yang Pellet. All the hidden injuries he suffered in his cultivation or all the impurities left behind by consuming pellets were all removed.

“The Yin-Yang Pellet is truly mysterious.” Lin Yun fell into deep thoughts. He couldn’t imagine what effect there would be if he refined this pellet at the tenth stage of the Profound Martial Realm. But there was no need for him to dwell in it because he wasn’t someone who would regret his decision.

“To the Lotus Treasure Palace!” Lin Yun didn’t have any hesitation in his eyes. He was now filled with confidence for himself; he had the confidence to defeat anyone who stands in his way.

A brief moment later, Lin Yun felt a familiar fluctuation. It was the spiritual energy fluctuation that signalled the birth of a treasure. After looking at the treasure on the eighth level, Lin Yun couldn’t imagine what kind of treasure was waiting for him on the ninth level.

When Lin Yun rushed to the hall, he saw the azure lotus emitting a glow. In the next second, the glow stopped and an ancient sword hovered in the air. The sword was covered in flowery runes, and Lin Yun could sense how sharp it was without needing to draw it out.

An ancient cosmic artifact?” Lin Yun was shocked. This sword was practically prepared for him. Lin Yun took a liking the instant he saw the sword. This was still the first time he had such a reaction after coming to the Black Lotus Palace.

After all, he had seen too many treasures in the Demonlotus Realm, and he was already numb to them. He didn’t even show any reaction when he saw the Yin-Yang Pellet. But this sword had jolted something from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Yun slowly walked towards the lotus stage calmly with cautiousness; he didn’t dare to be careless. After he took three steps forth, he gathered his origin energy on his palm and wanted to drag the sword over.

But the moment he raised his hand, a cold aura suddenly came at him. It was a powerful palm that placed Lin Yun in great pressure even before the palm got close to him. Even his internal organs started to clump together under the great pressure.

If his cultivation wasn’t strong enough, his internal organs would have ruptured by now. But Lin Yun calmly retaliated with a punch. His punch was like a sword that stabbed at the palm.

After Lin Yun shattered the palm, he finally saw the attacker. He was Shui Wuhen from the Demonic Moon Villa. Lin Yun looked at this person calmly, and he didn’t have much favorable opinion for this person. That palm earlier was sinister, and he would be dead if he didn’t manage to react in time. But it was fortunate that he managed to bear the pressure coming from Shui Wuhen’s origin energy after he made a breakthrough in his cultivation.

“Lin Yun, I want this sword,” said Shui Wuhen. He didn’t bother hiding because everyone else aside from him were enemies.

“Give it to you? Why should I? I won’t give it away even if Situ Yi stands before me,” retorted Lin Yun without any intention of taking a step back.

“Lin Yun, do you know how many enemies you’ve made along the way? I’ll not mention others. Just Mu Xiuhan who couldn’t make it into the palace due to you and Bai Yue who were nearly killed by you were enough. Are you sure you want to be an enemy of mine? Furthermore, you’ve already gotten a decent harvest with the Yin-Yang Pellet.” Shui Wuhen tried to persuade Lin Yun to give up on the sword.

“As you’ve said. I’ve already offended so many people, so why should I be concerned about having one more?” Shui Wuhen was too naive to try and persuade him with mere words.

“I knew that you wouldn’t back down quietly. Since that’s the case, then I’ll defeat you!” Shui Wuhen kept his fan and stepped forth, appearing before Lin Yun in the next second.

He was using the Cloudmist Palm. His figure was like an immovable mountain with origin energy gathering in his palm like mists.

Lin Yun faced it calmly by tapped his fingers forth and destroyed Shui Wuhen’s attack. Shui Wuhen came quickly, and he also retreated quickly as well. He was pushed back by the force behind Lin Yun’s attack.

“What a strong sword intent!” Shui Wuhen frowned his eyebrows with a complicated looks. He was also a swordsman, so he could sense the powerful sword intent coming from Lin Yun. Then again, the Yin-Yang Pellet must have also helped aside from Lin Yun’s sword intent.

Lin Yun had wasted the Yin-Yang Pellet just as Shui Wuhen had guessed. Bai Yue was truly a piece of garbage. After all, Lin Yun wouldn’t become so powerful if it wasn’t for Bai Yue.

“Flickering Shadows!” Shui Wuhen instantly thought of a countermeasure and his figure became blurred. In the next second, countless palms came at Lin Yun from all directions, which instantly engulfed Lin Yun in the palms.

“You’re trying to test my cultivation? I’m afraid that I’ll only disappoint you!” Lin Yun might be startled by this attack if he didn’t cultivate the Iris Sword Sutra. After reaching the ninth stage of the Profound Martial Realm, Shui Wuhen no longer had any advantage in cultivation.

With both his fingers stuck together, Lin Yun unleashed countless sword rays. His attacks were like geysers rising on a lake that converged to form a water tornado. Lin Yun let out a roar and unleashed his attack, destroying all the palms coming from the surrounding.

“How about this then!” Shui Wuhen snorted coldly and started gathering his origin energy into his right palm before sending it out. The Demonic Moon Villa’s martial techniques were powerful. After all, they wouldn’t be known as one of the four major sects otherwise.

But it was a pity that Shui Wuhen found the wrong person. Lin Yun formed seals, combining the Undying Vajra Seal, Sky Breaking Seal, and Demon Vanquishing Seal.

“Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger!”

“Dragon Painting!”

“Soaring Dragon!”

“Hundred Beast Wave!”

“Vanquishing Dragon and Tiger!”

Lin Yun’s origin energy gathered together with the three seals and rained down punches on Shui Wuhen. At the same time, his quasi-xiantian sword intent was also fused into the combined three seals.

Every punches from him were powerful, and when it reaches the Vanquishing Dragon and Tiger, Lin Yun’s punch broke through Shui Wuhen’s attack and landed on the latter’s chest.

Shui Wuhen were blown away as he threw out a mouthful of blood. But before he landed on the ground, he slammed his palm on the ground. Relying on the impact, Shui Wuhen spread his arms in the air before he drifted down. He was agile, but his face was unsightly when he looked at Lin Yun.

“Interesting. You possess the Dragon-Tiger Fist that shocks the Great Qin Empire and the strongest body-refining martial technique in the empire. It’s shocking that you can possess such a powerful sword intent. I’m afraid there’s no one else comparable to you among the juniors.” A laughter echoed out and Jing Jue appeared from a passage. He looked at Lin Yun, and he asked, “Shui Wuhen, you wouldn’t mind having a helper, right?”
