Chapter 25: The Name of the Artifact Spirit, a Gift from the Great Dao!

"Ah, ah, ah, I give in... Quick, quick, stop, I can't take it anymore!"

A desperate roar came from the artifact spirit, its face full of fear and resentment.

For a full day and night, it had been subjected to such torment!

Sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes fast, sometimes slow—it was simply on the verge of ecstasy and death, unable to stop!

If Lin Potian did not stop, its spirit body would be torn apart and completely ruined!

Swish...!

Lin Potian wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and withdrew the Tongtian Token, but he did not put it away, holding it in his hand instead.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "You insisted on refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Have you figured out who is the boss now?"

The youth transformed from the artifact spirit turned his head and snorted coldly, "Since the master has accepted you, I will say no more. However, if you want to gain my approval, you must clear all nine levels of the Tongtian Tower!"

"Whatever, your approval is not important to me. I only need you to undo the Immortal Dao Qi for Ao Yin now, otherwise...!"

As he spoke, he tossed the Tongtian Token in his hand, playing with it while looking at the artifact spirit with a wicked grin.

"You... fine, I will undo it!"

The artifact spirit waved its hand reluctantly, and a white light fell into the body of Ao Yin below.

"Cough, cough... Father, I actually didn't die!"

Spitting out a large mouthful of black blood, Ao Yin opened his eyes, his face full of astonishment!

He had thought he was surely going to die; he had even seen his great-grandmother who had been dead for over a hundred thousand years!

Ao Wushuang was overjoyed and deeply moved: "That's great!"

He immediately covered Ao Yin's mouth, his expression grave and earnest: "You... you had better speak less. Don't provoke that person again!"

Ao Wushuang was terrified that Ao Yin would provoke the Tongtian Tower artifact spirit again!

Ao Yin nodded repeatedly, his face full of fear!

Looking around and then up, Ao Yin asked in confusion: "Where are the others? And what about that Wang Daoji? And who is that youth confronting my foster father?"

"They left, they all left. And that silver-haired youth is exactly what the Tongtian Tower artifact spirit transformed into! You survived because..."

"Ah... this! Foster father is so powerful!"

Looking at Lin Potian in the void, Ao Yin's eyes were filled with extreme admiration!

If one were to calculate by the long lifespan of the Dragon-man Clan, Ao Yin was truly a junior to Lin Potian!

After all, when he started his journey, Lin Potian was already a Great Emperor!

Therefore, calling him foster father came to him very naturally!

As for being casually struck by the artifact spirit, Ao Yin did not feel hatred, only feeling that he had indeed been reckless...

It was perfectly normal for a powerhouse to have a strange temper and be arrogant!

Not to mention that this artifact spirit was not human at all...

Looking up again, Lin Potian and the artifact spirit were staring at each other, which was actually quite awkward!

Once a move was made, the scene had become somewhat stiff!

Lin Potian coughed lightly to break the deadlock, "Uh, did the Forbidden Senior give you a name? I keep calling you artifact spirit, artifact spirit, which isn't very good!"

The youth put his hands on his hips and said irritably, "You never asked. Why didn't you ask earlier? Why are you asking now? I thought you would never ask!"

Lin Potian touched the tip of his nose and smiled awkwardly.

It seemed the artifact spirit didn't have a very good memory; when did he have time to ask?

Not only was its memory bad, but it was also very haughty!

"Forget it, the master did give me a name, saying that if I ever left the body of an artifact, I would be called the Holy Emperor!"

Lin Potian was startled and subconsciously repeated it: "Holy Emperor..."

His eyes flashed with brilliance; what an imposing name!

It was indeed a perfect match for this arrogant artifact spirit!

Immediately, Lin Potian seemed to have thought of something, rubbing his hands and saying: "Holy Emperor, what about my reward? Didn't you say there would be a Great Dao reward if I won?"

"Rest assured, I haven't forgotten! The Tongtian Token has another function, which is to change the flow of time. With your cultivation, you should be able to have five hundred years inside for every day outside. Cultivate well!"

The Holy Emperor rolled his eyes and waved his hand!

The void collapsed, and a golden Great Dao overflowing with brilliant light instantly merged into Lin Potian's body!

Waving his hand again, the Tongtian Token flashed with a dim light and sucked Lin Potian inside!

The token fell, landing precisely in Ao Yin's hand!

Ao Yin's expression froze; before he could speak, the Holy Emperor looked down.

Ao Yin was instantly terrified, hurriedly explaining: "The token fell down by itself, it's not my fault!"

Ao Wushuang was also extremely nervous. Judging by the artifact spirit's previous performance, it was extremely temperamental. If it targeted them, it would definitely not be a good thing!

Fortunately...

The Holy Emperor stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "I know. You two guard Lin Potian. After he returns, ask him if he wants to continue to the fourth level of the Tongtian Tower or leave the tower. After passing the third level, one can already enter the Imperial Pass of the Zhutian Wanjie! The rest can be cleared another day!"

If he continued to clear it, the Holy Emperor felt that Lin Potian's chances of passing were not high...

Because starting from the third level, the realm of the residents on each level grew exponentially!

The resident on the fourth level, although weak as a child in his eyes, was a genuine peak Nine Turns Great Emperor, a Half-step Red Dust Immortal existence!

Upon hearing this, Ao Wushuang hurriedly said: "Understood, understood!"

Ao Yin tilted his head and subconsciously said: "If foster father leaves, we also want to leave with my foster father, is that okay?"

The Holy Emperor looked down instantly, his eyes cold: "You want to leave? What do you think my Tongtian Tower is? A place you can just come and go as you please?"

Ao Wushuang hurriedly covered Ao Yin's mouth and said in a panic: "My Lord, my son didn't mean that! He really didn't!"

Ao Wushuang's heart was in his throat; if this artifact spirit got unhappy and struck Ao Yin again, who could they reason with?

Ao Yin also reacted at this moment, trembling with nervousness; this terrifying Tongtian Tower artifact spirit already had a grudge against him, and now that his foster father was not here, if it got unhappy and gave him another strike, wouldn't he be finished?!

To the surprise of the two, with a *whoosh*!

The artifact spirit actually returned directly to the void and vanished without a trace!

Only a faint voice echoed: "Very well, thanks to Lin Potian, you may leave! However, if you wish to enter again in the future, you will not have this opportunity! Once Lin Potian returns, after asking for his opinion, you may decide for yourselves!"

As soon as the voice fell, Ao Yin's eyes lit up with joy; now that he had consumed the Undying Divine Medicine and had sufficient lifespan, who would still want to stay here?

The Tongtian Tower could greatly slow the passage of lifespan and had a different time flow than the outside world, but now that he was no longer lacking in lifespan, Ao Yin truly wanted to go out and explore!

Ao Wushuang was the same, though cold light surged in his eyes!

Looking toward Ao Yin, he said in a deep voice: "Yin'er, tens of thousands of years have passed; do you still remember the enemies of our Dragon-man Clan?"

Ao Yin's eyes turned red instantly, and he said word by word: "Of course I remember. I will never forget those three dogs, Taichu, Mangcang, and Tianni, who took advantage of the time we left our ancestral lands to search for the Undying Divine Medicine to rush into our Dragon-man Clan, steal our clan-protecting Immortal weapon—the True Dragon Emperor Staff—and, after being discovered by our clansmen, exterminate our entire Dragon-man Clan!"

"If they are still alive, I, Ao Yin, must find them to take revenge and wipe away this shame!"

Ao Wushuang clenched his fists, his chest heaving violently: "We must find them to settle the score!"

"Yin'er, seize the time to refine the Undying Divine Medicine and live out your second life!"

"Alright!"

The two set the Tongtian Token aside, sat cross-legged, and quickly refined the Undying Divine Medicine within their bodies.

The Tongtian Token flickered with dim light; it contained a world of its own, the scenery changed unpredictably, and time passed like a white horse galloping past a crevice—time inside was flowing rapidly!

At the same time, Wang Daoji had just walked out of the Tongtian Tower.

A loud shout came from behind:

"Wang Daoji, where are you going? Stay right there!"

The sudden shout made Wang Daoji tremble, and he turned his head to look nervously...

Black Dragon, Sacred Tiger, Heavenly Leopard, Demon Ox, and God-Devouring Insect—the five of them charged over together!

Seeing it was these five, Wang Daoji's heart immediately settled, and he sneered: "I wondered who it was; so it's you five little runts!"

"Are you dissatisfied that this Emperor is not recovering fast enough, and have come to deliver nutrients to me?"

"Do you not think that just because I am crippled, you can get cocky?"

Having said that, Wang Daoji did not retreat but advanced, charging explosively in the opposite direction toward the five!

"Heh, so you think you're very strong? Then let this Emperor come and meet you!"

Just at this moment, a giant hand covering the sky caught him off guard, immediately pinning him to the ground!

Dizun had arrived!

Wang Daoji looked up at the sky with a horrified expression; the strength of this person intercepting him was not simple at all, and was actually not weaker than his own!

Now that he was extremely weak, he would definitely not be his opponent!

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Daoji self-detonated the Emperor body he had just repaired, broke free from the giant hand, and fled frantically!

"All of you, chase him!"

Dizun immediately gave the order, and at the same time, he took a step forward, constantly shortening the distance to Wang Daoji!

He fled, and they pursued.

Wang Daoji might find it hard to escape even with wings!

Two days later...

A wisp of golden light emerged from the Tongtian Token, and Lin Potian's figure became increasingly solid as he walked out from within.

His right arm was actually blazing with raging red Flame, and his aura was terrifying!

Dispersing the Flame, the corners of Lin Potian's mouth curled up further and further, until he laughed out loud!

"Hahaha, it is actually the Flame Great Dao, second in offensive power; this is a huge profit!"
