Chapter 422

The Dragon Blooded Horse’s charge into the Extermination Mountain Range was even more ferocious than Bai Lixuan. Lin Yun didn’t even have to release his sword aura. The Dragon Blooded Horse’s aura was more than enough to intimidate the demonic beasts in the mountain range.

No demonic beasts came after them along the way. And even if they encountered ninth and tenth stage demonic beasts in the depth of the mountain range, they were trembling in fear when they sensed the Dragon Blooded Horse’s aura. In the end, they could only watch as the Dragon Blooded Horse passed through their territory, and only unleash an unwilling roar after it left.

The incoming wind felt like sharp blades slicing on the face. It made Lin Yun feel as though he was flying on the Dragon Blooded Horse. The speed was much faster than the Seven Profound Steps, and even the Sword Condors in the Sword Firmament Pavilion were inferior to this speed.

The ground suddenly trembled, and a ferocious roar echoed in the forest. This made Lin Yun’s face change on the horseback as the trees before his path began to collapse. It didn’t take long for a Golden Rat to appear before them, standing on its foot.

The Golden Rat was over thirty meters in height, covered with explosive muscles. The golden hair on its head was how the mouse got its name.

The Golden Rat was emitting an aura in the tenth stage as he stared at Lin Yun and the Dragon Blooded Horse because the two of them had intruded its territory. Coincidentally, the mouse happens to be a demonic beast with a violent temper.

With an explosive power, the mouse brandished its claws in the wind that tore through the air. The power behind it was so powerful that it could even pierce through ninth stage demonic beasts’ defences. One would die a horrible death if they treated this as an ordinary mouse.

Lin Yun looked up ahead, and the core of the Extermination Mountain Range wasn’t far away. Right at this moment, the Golden Rat clenched its claw and swung it at Lin Yun.

“Great!” A smile rose on Lin Yun’s lips, and he soared from the Dragon Blooded Horse. When he balled his fist together, his dracophant energy emitted out along with saintly music. Lin Yun had chosen to clash with the Golden Rat head-on with five cauldron’s worth of strength.

The clash between their fists caused an explosion in the air. Lin Yun was tiny in comparison to the rat, but his punch sent the colossal rat back.

Right at this moment, a crackle sounded in the air as the Golden Rat swung its tail over like a whip in Lin Yun’s face.

“You’re courting death!” Lin Yun snorted, and he grabbed onto the tail. At the same time, he activated the Dracophant Battle Physique, and his physique expanded in size. Along with a horrifying power, he swung the rat out.

“All yours.” The rat flew and smashed onto the towering trees in its trajectory.

The Golden Rat was a formidable beast in the tenth stage, and it was a demonic beast closest to the Violet Palace Realm. But it was no challenge to Lin Yun. After sending the Golden Rat flying, Lin Yun executed the Seven Profound Steps and disappeared in the forest; he didn’t want to waste time with the Golden Rat.

When the Golden Rat got back up on its feet, it saw the Dragon Blooded Horse chuckling in front of it. Before the rat could even ract, the Dragon Blooded Horse raised its hooves and stomped down. It only took a single move for the Golden Rat to be crushed. The Golden Rat collapsed back onto the ground wailing out in pain.

Hearing the wail from afar, Lin Yun smiled. Soon, the Golden Rat would realize that it would rather fight him than the Dragon Blooded Horse.

As Lin Yun traveled, his face gradually became grave. The core of the Extermination Mountain Range was just up head. He wasn’t unfamiliar with this place because he had passed by here when he was heading to the Demonlotus Realm. Before he even got close, he could sense a chill down his spine.

There weren’t many demonic beasts at the core, and all of them were overlord demonic beasts. After all, Lin Yun had to force himself to the limits if he wanted to unleash all of his potential. Many people thought that he had used up all his trump cards, but in Lin Yun’s view, true experts didn’t need any trump cards to defeat their opponents.

There was still a lot of potential in the Seven Profound Steps, Dragon-Tiger Fist, Dracophant Battle Physique, and the Aquaselenic Sword to excavate. Even if he had to include his trump cards, he still had the Great Wind Scripture.

“Drifting Goblet said that there’s no way to comprehend the Heavenly Seal without becoming a Buddhist. But my Demon Vanquishing Seal is based on my sword, so it doesn’t mean that I might not be able to grasp the Heavenly Seal.” Lin Yun’s eyes flashed. If he could succeed in learning the Heavenly Seal, then he would be able to combine the four seals. At that time, his Dragon-Tiger Fist alone could cause the entire Great Qin Empire to tremble. After all, he would never know the result if he didn’t give it a try. Lin Yun didn’t hesitate to enter the core of the Extermination Mountain Range.

“What dense spiritual energy!” The core was truly worthy of being the territory of overlord demonic beasts. The density of the spiritual energy here was even richer than the Sword Firmament Pavilion.

Lin Yun first determined a direction before he traveled forth. When he finally sensed several horrifying aura, he came to a stop. This meant that this was the intersection of several demonic beasts’ territory.

There were more trees here than other places, and the tree branches came in various odd shapes. Lin Yun’s face also turned pale because he was also under great pressure when facing the aura head-on.

“Here it is.” Lin Yun sat down and began to cultivate. He wanted to force himself to comprehend the Heavenly Seal under danger. Then again, he would be torn into pieces by several Violet Palace Realm demonic beasts if he was careless here.

As time gradually passed, the nearby four Violet Palace Realm demonic beasts have already noticed Lin Yun. But they were cunning, and their intelligence could be comparable to humans after reaching the Violet Palace Realm. In their eyes, Lin Yun as a food who delivered himself to their doorsteps.

The vitality in Lin Yun’s flesh was a great nourishment to demonic beasts; it was just like how demonic beasts’ beast core was a nourishment for human cultivators. But Lin Yun’s position was ingenious because it was in the intersection of four demonic beasts’ territory. This meant that any one of them making a move first would benefit the other three. Hence, none of them dared to move anytime soon.

Heaven naturally referred to the sky, but in Buddhism, heaven also meant gods and deities. In Buddhism, the heaven had thirty-three heavens. This meant that the Heavenly Seal requires Lin Yun to comprehend the profundity of the thirty-three heavens. This was probably the reason why Drifting Goblet said that he couldn’t grasp the Heavenly Seal.

But since he could vanquish demons with his swords, why couldn’t he create a heaven with his sword? Lin Yun was cautious under the immense pressure. He was under a mysterious state as he had to comprehend and keep up his alert at the same time because he might face death in the next second.

Killing aura would sweep over occasionally, but what made Lin Yun excited was that he could temper his sword intent with the killing aura. It was beneficial to his sword intent.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. But it felt like years to Lin Yun. Far away on a tree, there was a pair of eyes staring at Lin Yun. It was Bai Lixuan, whose cultivation had reached the tenth stage. He was genuinely gifted with the Saintly Physique. He was already comparable to the quasi-Violet Palace Realm when he was in the ninth stage back then, so this meant that he was even more powerful now.

“What is this fellow doing?” Bai Lixuan has been keeping a close eye ever since Lin Yun stepped into the Extermination Mountain Range. He initially thought that Lin Yun was stupid to be in the intersection between four demonic beasts’ territory, but he never imagined that Lin Yun was fine after three days.

“Could it be…” Bai Lixuan was shocked with his mouth wide open. He was talented, and he naturally guessed the reason why Lin Yun was doing this quickly.

He had nothing to say about Lin Yun’s guts to put himself in danger to force his potential out. But shortly after, a cold smirk rose on Bai Lixuan’s lips because Lin Yun was courting death in his eyes. Just thinking about the danger of this method alone sent a chill down Bai Lixuan’s heart.

The demonic beasts were restricting each other, and this was the reason why none of them dared to move. But the moment they lose their patience would be Lin Yun’s death. In the worst case possible, Lin Yun would face the attacks from four demonic beasts at the same time.

Bai Lixuan could be comparable to Violet Palace Realm demonic beasts, but even he couldn’t face four demonic beasts at the same time. He dared to train himself in the core of the Extermination Mountain Range, but he didn’t have Lin Yun’s guts to put himself in danger just to squeeze out his potential.

“Let me see how you die then!” Bai Lixuan harrumphed. In his view, Lin Yun was already a dead man.
