Chapter 704: Unexpected Discovery

The water in the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well had completely dried up.

Inside the vast octagonal well, not a single drop of water could be seen, and countless jade tablets engraved with birth dates were scattered across the bottom.

For some reason, this Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well looked vaguely as if it had just been ravaged.

"That's it?"

Ye Lin smacked his lips with some regret.

With the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well gone, no more inner demons would emerge from his body.

At this moment, a black Ten Thousand Soul Banner was held in Ye Lin's hand.

Strangely, this Ten Thousand Soul Banner did not have resentment surging from it; instead, it emitted a pure and intense demonic Qi!

Ye Lin looked at the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in his hand with satisfaction.

Everything collected inside were his inner demons; not only was their combat power stronger than an ordinary Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but the bonuses were also higher.

Ye Lin swung the Inner Demon Ten Thousand Soul Banner with force, and in an instant, one hundred thousand Zhuge Qianxing appeared in perfect unison before Ye Lin; these one hundred thousand Zhuge Qianxing were all Ye Lin's inner demons!

According to Ye Lin's estimation, the combat power these one hundred thousand inner demons could unleash would likely make it easy for one to stand against a hundred.

This also meant that these one hundred thousand inner demons were almost comparable to ten million resentful souls!

Taking up only the space required for one hundred thousand resentful souls while unleashing the power of ten million—these inner demons were truly a good thing!

Ye Lin was filled with emotion, but it was a pity that he himself was a waste who could not produce inner demons, otherwise he could have a constant supply of inner demons to replenish the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

"Forget it, once my strength grows, I'll just capture everyone from the Joyous Union Sect and interrogate them thoroughly on how the water in this Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well is formed."

Ye Lin put away the Inner Demon Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Coming to the forbidden ground of the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well this time, not only did he gain a bunch of free inner demon labor, but he also refined an Inner Demon Ten Thousand Soul Banner; this harvest was already great enough.

The benefits had been reaped, and the water in the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well was empty; Ye Lin knew it was time for him to slip away.

Just as Ye Lin intended to die on the spot, he suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation beneath the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well.

"There seems to be something down here?"

Ye Lin frowned slightly, then he waved his hand, and all the jade tablets flew up and shattered with a clatter, revealing the bottom of the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well.

Ye Lin was surprised to discover that there was actually a well cover at the bottom!

After he lifted the well cover, a terrifying suction force suddenly came, and Ye Lin's entire body flew uncontrollably down into the well.

The scene before his eyes began to change rapidly, and when the suction disappeared, Ye Lin finally saw what kind of place he had arrived at.

This was a very spacious secret chamber, surrounded by smooth stone walls, with only a stone door directly in front.

"Is there actually a secret chamber beneath the forbidden ground of the Reincarnation Heart-Severing Well?"

Ye Lin rubbed his hands in anticipation; he was curious to know what good treasures were inside this secret chamber.

But just as he approached the stone door, the bones all over his body suddenly emitted a creaking, cracking sound.

Ye Lin clearly felt that some ghost of a thing had coiled around his body!

Before Ye Lin could make any resistance, the bones throughout his body were completely crushed, and he died on the spot.

After resurrecting, Ye Lin immediately activated the Dance of Instantaneousness, stepping with the Heavenly Dipper Evasion Footwork to put distance between himself and the stone door.

Only then did he see clearly that what had just attacked him was actually a black-gray giant python!

The color of this giant python blended almost perfectly with the surrounding stone walls, so it was no wonder Ye Lin hadn't discovered it just now.

Moreover, the aura emitted from this giant python was not the least bit inferior to Lady Hongshao whom Ye Lin had encountered, which meant that this giant python was a demonic creature comparable to a cultivator at the Profound Insight realm!

"Using a Profound Insight realm demonic creature to guard the door? It's confirmed that there are good things inside!"

A look of anticipation appeared in Ye Lin's eyes.

The giant python looked at Ye Lin at this moment with eyes full of confusion.

The intelligence of a Profound Insight realm demonic creature was no weaker than a human's.

It clearly remembered that it had just crushed this human boy to death, so why did he appear alive and kicking in the blink of an eye?

The giant python hissed and swept toward Ye Lin once again.

"Wait! Brother, I like you, do you want to hook up?"

Ye Lin gave a light shout, and four flying swords stabbed toward the giant python.

To avoid attracting others with too much commotion, Ye Lin did not dare to use moves with too much power.

But he had clearly underestimated the terror of a Profound Insight realm demonic creature; the flying swords rubbed against the giant python's body, creating a series of sparks, but they couldn't even pierce the defense of the python's scales.

Seeing this, Ye Lin immediately pulled out the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron and smashed it onto the giant python's head with a clang.

However, after receiving such a heavy blow, the giant python merely shook its head and launched an attack again.

The thick snake tail swept over, directly smashing Ye Lin into a pulp on the spot.

When dealing with Lady Hongshao before, there was still the Blood Dao evil cultivator Sang Yankai helping with all his might.

Dealing with the Profound Insight realm alone this time, Ye Lin finally realized how terrifying the Profound Insight realm was.

As the first realm of the Seven Phases of Spirit, the Profound Insight realm was simply not a product of the same dimension as the Five Tribulations of Dao.

After resurrecting again, Ye Lin also realized that he could not deal with this giant python without using a forbidden spell.

"Forbidden Spell: Eternal Geng Metal!"

The iron ions contained within his body left his body and condensed into a golden long spear outside Ye Lin, which fiercely stabbed into the giant python's body.

This time, the giant python's incredibly strong scale armor was finally pierced; after all, the forbidden spell Eternal Geng Metal was almost born for armor-breaking, and its greatest specialty was breaking a surface with a single point.

However, this bit of injury could not threaten the Profound Insight realm giant python at all; instead, it completely enraged it.

The giant python was extremely fast and instantly coiled around Ye Lin's body.

This time, the giant python used all its strength; its body was like a steel blade, crushing Ye Lin's body into pieces.

It didn't believe that even with his body shattered, this human could still resurrect!

But what responded to it was a brand-new Ye Lin.

"Hello!"

The giant python went instantly mad, and with a flick of its tail, it lashed out; the tail was like a steel whip, instantly cutting Ye Lin in half at the waist.

The exchange with the giant python made Ye Lin realize that for him to threaten the Profound Insight realm while crossing three major realms was still too much of a stretch, unless he used some underhanded tricks.

Even for forbidden techniques, the caster's own strength must be powerful to unleash even greater power.

But it didn't matter; he, Ye Lin, was not fighting alone.

Ye Lin took out a strange Ten Thousand Soul Banner emitting demonic Qi and swung it hard.

"Oi! Xingzi, I've run into some trouble, come out and help me fight."
