Chapter 38: Xingsu Daoren!!

Lin Potian suddenly opened his eyes, stood up abruptly, and shouted sharply!

"Who are you? It is one thing to enter my sea of consciousness and try to make me suffer a cultivation deviation, but you even dare to touch my people!"

"Get... away from them!"

His combat power erupted completely, and with a wave of his hand...

Boom!

A giant hand covering the sky reached deep into the Star Galaxy, grabbed Ji Xiaoyue in its palm, and pulled her back!

He then leaped up again to save Lin Feng, who was about to be sucked into the Star Galaxy!

Ji Xiaoyue had already fallen into a complete coma, and Lin Feng was no better, his expression listless!

Having just recovered his physical body and then burning his essence blood, Lin Feng naturally could not hold on!

Furthermore, if Lin Feng had not burned his essence blood to trigger his bloodline connection and call out, Lin Potian would never have been able to wake up!

He had truly almost suffered a cultivation deviation just now!

He flew back ten thousand zhang with the two of them.

Lin Potian stared calmly at this old man who looked like a zombie, deathly still and covered in black hair; his expression was as tranquil as an ancient well, yet his heart was already surging with stormy waves!

"Who exactly is this person? When I was comprehending the Star Dao Principle just now, a wisp of divine soul attack actually broke into my sea of consciousness, nearly causing me to suffer a cultivation deviation!"

Lin Potian truly did not know who this inexplicably appearing old man was, but one thing was certain: his strength was terrifying, even surpassing his own!

It was just that looking at the state of this old man, something seemed wrong?

Like a walking corpse with a physical body but no divine soul?

The next second, a voice as hoarse as a broken bellows wheezed out from the old man's mouth: "Sacred Body Dao Fetus, die! All must die!"

"Ahhh, all must die!"

After a wild roar, the old man bared his fangs and charged over!

Lin Potian narrowed his eyes, secretly thinking that this person had indeed lost his sanity, to the point where he could not even use divine abilities!

He had actually charged over using only his physical body!

Most importantly, did this person have a grudge against the Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus?

Who on earth was he!

There was no time to think; the old man had arrived in an instant!

Lin Potian quickly placed defenses on Lin Feng and Ji Xiaoyue, threw them out of the battlefield, and swung the Heaven-Slaying Indestructible Sword to unleash a sword light at the old man, deciding to test him first!

The result, however, left Lin Potian's mind greatly shaken!

"Hiss... what! He actually caught the sword light with his bare hands!"

Lin Potian gasped; although it was only a casual attack, it was enough to instantly kill ordinary Peak Great Emperors who had lived a second life, like Ao Yin and Ao Wushuang!

Yet the old man was completely unharmed!

However, it did make him stop. He paused blankly, looked up at Lin Potian with a dull expression, and smiled creepily: "Kill you, refine you, and continue the Immortal Path!"

"Then come and try!"

Seeing that creepy smile, Lin Potian felt a chill; he decided not to test him anymore and would strike with all his might!

Crimson flames blazed fiercely on his right arm, and a small fire lotus gradually took shape. The intense heat within it caused the surrounding space to tremble; the air was burned away, and waves of heat rolled all around!

As the fire lotus formed, Lin Potian pushed it out with both hands and shouted:

"Burning Wrath Fire Lotus!"

Whoosh—!

Carrying extreme heat, the Burning Wrath Fire Lotus whistled away!

"Flame Great Dao?"

Once the fire lotus appeared, the old man's eyes suddenly became much clearer!

It seemed to have stimulated him, as a trace of slight surprise appeared on his face, and he was no longer so creepy and dull!

He raised his hand and waved it, his lips moving: "Falling Star!"

As the old man finished speaking, heaven and earth suddenly fell silent!

The distant Star Galaxy seemed to be awakened by an invisible force, boiling and surging; the Star Power dimmed, replaced by an oppressive dark current!

In the absolute silence, meteorites were pulled by an invisible hand, whistling out from the depths of the Star Galaxy ahead. They traversed the void and merged with one another, their speed so fast that space itself trembled, finally condensing into a giant meteor that blotted out the sky and emitted a gloomy light!

The giant meteor carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, tearing through the sky with a roar and flames, aimed directly at the Burning Wrath Fire Lotus!

Immediately, they collided violently!

With a boom, the moment they collided, heaven and earth lost their light!

Then, a wisp of scorching red light tore through the darkness, intertwining with the gloom of the meteor, erupting with a dazzling light that twisted and deformed the surrounding space!

Bang!

Lin Potian was actually sent flying, retreating ten thousand zhang before he could barely stop!

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, suppressed his surging blood energy, and stabilized his figure as quickly as possible, thinking and reviewing in his heart: "So strong! The Star Power here is actually all being used by him; who exactly is he?"

What surprised Lin Potian the most was that this old man, covered in black hair and resembling a zombie, could actually mobilize all the Star Power?!

He secretly rejoiced in his heart that he had not used the Star Dao Principle he had only just begun to comprehend to fight the enemy, otherwise...

He would have undoubtedly been countered and defeated in one blow!

Moreover, Lin Potian had a strong intuition that this old man had not used his full strength, but had only struck casually!

To be precise, he lacked sanity and was relying entirely on primitive instincts!

Just then, a voice came from the Heaven-Reaching Token, which had been silent all this time!

"I have finally remembered who he is! Young Master, he is the life-and-death enemy of the Master from back then—Xingsu Daoren!"

"Xiaoxiao, what kind of joke are you making? He is the life-and-death enemy of the Forbidden Senior? How could he possibly still be alive?"

Ever since Lin Potian obtained the Eternal Dao Seed, the artifact spirit Xiaoxiao changed its tune in a split second, directly changing how it addressed Lin Potian to "Young Master"!

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian's expression changed drastically in an instant!

No wonder this elderly man named Xingsu Daoren could mobilize these Star Powers at will; it turns out the original owner hasn't even died yet!

And this Star Dao belongs to him in the first place!

After that previous clash of divine powers, Xingsu Daoren did not strike again, returning to his previous state of having no consciousness, standing there with his head tilted and a dull expression on his face.

Lin Potian only felt something was wrong; if he were a mortal enemy of the Taboo Senior, how could he trade blows with him back and forth?

What is going on? Lin Potian did not think he could wrestle with such a terrifying existence right now; he wasn't that arrogant!

At this moment, the artifact spirit's voice was certain: "He is definitely Xingsu Daoren. I suffered a Dao injury before, so I didn't recall it for a moment! The Master said at the time that he wanted to spare his life, leaving him unable to find release for all eternity, waiting for a fated person of later generations to help him find release, thoroughly comprehend the Star Dao, and refine his Dao Rhyme to increase cultivation!"

"Time flows on, and millions of years have caused this Xingsu Daoren's realm to fall completely into the Human Dao domain, with no consciousness left, only his Immortal Body not yet completely decayed."

Lin Potian's mouth twitched; why did this sound more and more wrong the more he listened?

He had a feeling that the Taboo Senior was deliberately retaliating, suppressing Xingsu Daoren here and leaving him unable to find release?

However, Lin Potian could not concern himself with these grudges; what he was most curious about now was helping this Xingsu Daoren find release and then thoroughly comprehending the Star Dao—this Dao could certainly be called powerful!

"Xiaoxiao, how should I help this Xingsu Daoren find release?" Lin Potian asked in confusion.

"It's very simple: defeat him, and after you use this thing to collect his corpse, he will naturally find release!"

"Don't worry, he is also a Human Dao cultivator now; as for his cultivation, it is roughly equivalent to a Half-step Red Dust Immortal! Plus, with your treasure in hand, the gap between you isn't large; if you put in some effort, you can beat him!"

"You also came at a coincidental time; if you had come a few hundred thousand years earlier, when this Xingsu Daoren hadn't fallen from the Immortal Dao domain, I'm afraid he would have glared you to death in a single glance!"

Having said that, a tattered, yellow Shroud covered in dried black bloodstains flew out of the Heaven-Reaching Token on its own!

Lin Potian's mouth twitched again and again; treasure in hand, the gap isn't large?

Could this tattered Shroud be a treasure?

But looking up, down, left, and right, Lin Potian couldn't see it being a treasure at all!

He could even smell the bloodstain on this Shroud!

He was supposed to use this thing to collect the corpse of Xingsu Daoren?

Isn't this just purely bullying an honest person?

He was only a First Turn Peak Great Emperor, a little fledgling who had just stepped onto the Red Dust Immortal Road; asking him to collect the corpse of a powerhouse who was a Half-step Red Dust Immortal—isn't this a joke?!

No, this Xingsu Daoren wasn't even an ordinary Half-step Red Dust Immortal, but one whose realm had fallen; his divine abilities and methods were definitely far more numerous than other Half-step Red Dust Immortals!

"Sigh, this is difficult..."

Lin Potian felt it was extremely thorny, standing there for a long time holding the Shroud.

He didn't want to waste time here; he just wanted to go home quickly.

What's more, this Xingsu Daoren was powerful to an boundless degree!

But just at this moment...

A sudden change occurred!

The tattered, blood-scented Shroud suddenly flipped over and draped over Lin Potian's back like a cape!

Lin Potian's eyes became sinister in an instant; in this state, he was like a different person!

He stared straight at Xingsu Daoren in front of him.

Xingsu Daoren also looked over...

Lin Potian raised an eyebrow, his face arrogant:

"What are you looking at?!"
