Chapter 40: Refining the Xingsu Daoren, the Nine Turns Peak Great Emperor!

"Heh, very tenacious? But, it's useless! Kneel for me!"

Xingsu Daoren's pressure descended upon Lin Potian like a sky-covering, earth-smothering force!

"I must use my trump card, otherwise I won't survive this!"

Lin Potian made a prompt decision, veins bulging on his face, and roared while bearing the pressure!

"From ancient times to the future, only my thought is eternal!"

The trump card was... the Great Dao inheritance from the forbidden senior, the Eternal Dao Principle he had only comprehended a fraction of!

He slammed his hands together, and a Golden Dao Seed flew out from Lin Potian's chest!

Xingsu Daoren stared intently, his expression changing instantly as he roared out, "How is this possible? You actually comprehended his Eternal Dao!"

"There is nothing impossible. Since you want my Sacred Body Dao Fetus, then I want everything of yours!"

Lin Potian's body seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, shriveling at a speed visible to the naked eye; his skin lost its color, becoming sallow and slack!

The Nine Turns cultivation base he had briefly attained by relying on the Shroud was also rapidly drained, dropping back to the First Turn!

This was an Immortal Technique; using it with Lin Potian's cultivation base was truly too strenuous!

The spiritual power throughout his body was like a burst dam, crazily devoured by that Golden Dao Seed!

Then it slammed violently toward Xingsu Daoren!

It was as if it had locked onto him, unavoidable!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xingsu Daoren's spiritual power surged, using all the Star Power at his disposal to resist this Eternal Dao Seed capable of destroying the world!

Boom, boom, boom!

A full ninety-nine layers of defense composed of Star Power were pierced through one after another, and in Xingsu Daoren's horrified gaze, his body was instantly run through!

Then he crashed to the ground with a bang!

Lin Potian coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes fixed on Xingsu Daoren; if this strike still couldn't take him down, he would be completely helpless!

Just at this moment, the backlash of the Meteor Emperor Curse also arrived...

"Ahhh...!"

Lin Potian roared in agony, his body convulsing as he fell from the void, wisps of deathly aura spreading over him, enduring unimaginable pain!

"Ancestor!"

"Master!"

Far away, Lin Feng and Ji Xiaoyue both cried out, clenching their fists, but they felt deeply powerless...

They couldn't even approach the battlefield, or they would be shredded by the Emperor Qi and Immortal Qi!

Watching Xingsu Daoren lying on the ground, looking as if he were petrified, Lin Feng's lips trembled: "Die, you must die!"

The next second, Lin Feng was filled with despair!

Xingsu Daoren was actually propping himself up on the ground, struggling to stand!

Although his face was deathly pale and his body was in tatters, with not a single piece of good flesh left on him, he had stood up after all!

Lin Feng was dazed, unable to help but take a step back, "How could this be, how could this be?"

Tap, tap, tap...

Xingsu Daoren walked toward the constantly convulsing Lin Potian.

Lin Potian looked up to see the approaching Xingsu Daoren, a trace of relief appearing on his face as he shook his head and mocked himself: "A Red Dust Immortal is indeed far beyond a True Immortal, a presence with combat power rivaling an ordinary Immortal King! Wanting to fight against the current is too difficult!"

Lin Potian only felt unwilling; he had yet to save his clansmen, to save his sister Lin Wan'er who was sealed in the God Origin Stone. If he stopped here, he was truly unwilling!

If not for this damned Meteor Emperor Curse, he could definitely still fight!

In the blink of an eye, Xingsu Daoren had walked over, looking down at Lin Potian from above, his eyes solemn and wary!

He spoke in a deep voice: "You really almost killed me, do you know that? If you had also stepped into the Red Dust True Immortal realm, I would have completely perished from that strike just now! It's just, you were so close."

The corners of his mouth curled into the smile of a victor, "In the end, I won, and everything of yours is mine!"

As his voice fell, without any extra movement, Xingsu Daoren raised his hand to inhale, intending to refine all of Lin Potian into his own!

Xingsu Daoren was in a hurry; that strike of the Eternal Dao had almost shaved away ninety-nine percent of his Dao Fruit, and his insides were churning incessantly. If he didn't refine the person before him in time, he wouldn't survive either!

"Forget it, forget it..."

Lin Potian closed his eyes and shook his head, using his last bit of spiritual power to teleport Lin Feng and Ji Xiaoyue away!

Xingsu Daoren didn't care, feeling they were just two ants; if they left, they left.

"Ancestor!"

"Master!"

Lin Feng and Ji Xiaoyue's eyes were red; they truly couldn't accept this scene!

Lin Feng simply couldn't accept that the ancestor who had been invincible for one hundred thousand years would fall. He took one last look at Xingsu Daoren, memorizing his appearance, and roared, "One day, I will avenge the ancestor!!!"

Ding, ding—two light sounds, and the two passed through a gate and were teleported away.

"Hmm? What is that?"

A wisp of white light shone from Lin Potian's body, attracting Xingsu Daoren, who stopped his movements and looked over...

The situation changed again!

Boom!

The white light shone brightly, actually restraining Xingsu Daoren!

The Shroud that had been held in his hand struggled free and firmly wrapped around Xingsu Daoren!

"It is actually his Heaven-Reaching Token!"

"No, don't!"

A voice finally came from within the Shroud, and then there was no more sound!

Xingsu Daoren truly hadn't expected that Lin Potian still possessed the supreme Immortal object, the Heaven-Reaching Token; his calculations had completely failed!

A mere Human Dao cultivator, yet actually able to wield the Tongtian Command?

It is simply inconceivable!

Boom, boom, boom!

The Shroud shone with a bright blood-red light, frantically refining Xingsu Daoren!

Immediately after, the Shroud actually draped itself over Lin Potian's body!

The Tongtian Command shot out white light, shining upon Lin Potian!

The death energy gradually dissipated, and the Imperial Light on Lin Potian's body reappeared, becoming even more brilliant!

Star Power continuously gathered on Lin Potian's body; the old master is dead, the new master shall stand!

Various strange phenomena appeared one after another; time passed like a white horse galloping past a crevice, and ninety years vanished in the blink of an eye!

But the flow of time here is different, and only nine days have passed in the outside world!

All around, a long river formed by Star Power flowed through the night sky, dazzling and eye-catching, while Lin Potian's body was wrapped in a layer of faint golden light, slowly repairing his damaged physical form...

Boom!

Lin Potian's eyes snapped open, two beams of materialized essence shot out from his pupils, and his aura rose again and again!

Second Turn Great Emperor, Third Turn Great Emperor... Fifth Turn, Seventh Turn Great Emperor Peak!

His cultivation realm improved continuously!

What was even more terrifying was Lin Potian's Dao rhyme, which had increased by more than tenfold compared to before!

"Xiaoxiao, you really almost harmed me miserably this time! If you hadn't come out at the end to finish off the weakened Xingsu Daoren, your Young Master would have truly fallen!"

Lin Potian stood up with a bitter smile, still feeling lingering fear!

A Red Dust Immortal is indeed terrifying; only after fighting one personally did he understand how terrifying this realm is!

Far exceeding those True Immortals of the Longevity Family!

However, the harvest this time was not insignificant; not only was Xingsu Daoren's Dao rhyme refined, but the Star Dao was actually completely comprehended!

Not to mention that the level of comprehension was much deeper than that of the Flame Dao, his cultivation realm also broke through repeatedly, reaching the Seventh Turn Peak Great Emperor; his combat power could not be spoken of in the same breath as before, having increased more than tenfold!

At the Great Emperor stage, it is no longer realistic to want to increase combat power by leaps and bounds; a more than tenfold increase in combat power is already extremely heaven-defying!

More importantly, the Meteor Emperor Curse had been completely stripped away by Lin Potian and could no longer affect him!

But he did not purge it; Lin Potian had already decided to use this to ambush the True Immortal behind the scenes who had placed the Meteor Emperor Curse on him!

To properly scheme against him!

"Young Master, I also didn't expect that Xingsu Daoren was hiding so deeply; even after a million years, he hadn't completely lost his sanity. Sigh! It can only be blamed on his previous cultivation realm being too high!"

The artifact spirit Xiaoxiao sighed and transmitted its voice.

Lin Potian nodded slightly, feeling it was within reason; after all, a person who could make even the Taboo Senior feel troubled must be terrifyingly strong, so he asked aloud: "Xiaoxiao, what was Xingsu Daoren's cultivation realm before?"

The Tongtian Command spirit thought for a moment, "I don't remember clearly, it was too long ago; it seems it was the early Immortal King Realm! At that time, Master was still a Half-Step Immortal King and was being hunted by him, but in the end, Master still killed him in a counter-attack!"

"Hiss...!"

Lin Potian instantly gasped, a Red Dust Immortal killing an Immortal King in a counter-attack; this Taboo Senior was simply too strong!

Although Lin Potian had never seen an Immortal King, he had seen this Xingsu Daoren!

The Taboo Senior actually trapped the Immortal King Realm Xingsu Daoren to death here when he was only at the Half-Step Immortal King realm?!

The higher one goes, the more impossible it is to fight across realms, yet the Taboo Senior actually achieved it?

"Amazing, amazing!"

Only deep admiration remained in Lin Potian's heart!

Thinking that this refining process seemed to have taken quite a bit of time, Lin Potian calculated with his fingers how much longer the Taixuan Realm Imperial Clan Competition would last...

"Oh no!"

Lin Potian's mind shook violently, filled with annoyance and regret!

The ten-day deadline for the Imperial Clan Competition had arrived!

And he was actually still in this God Tomb; if anything happened to the Lin Family, Lin Potian would never be able to forgive himself!
