Lin Xuan stood alone in the center of the five-colored swamp, which had been plowed through by the heavenly tribulation and left in ruins. Though his green robes were tattered, his posture remained as upright as a pine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully contemplated the various mysteries of the Nascent Soul realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense range surged; now, with a single thought, he could cover a radius of several hundred miles, perceiving every detail with absolute clarity! The insight of his \"Eye of Truth-Breaking\" rose accordingly, rendering ordinary illusions and concealment techniques nearly useless before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual power was as vast as the sea, and due to its chaotic nature, its quality was extremely high; the power of the divine abilities he unleashed doubled, and his sustained combat capability was no longer what it once was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the core was the chaotic Nascent Soul itself. It was like the core of a miniature chaotic universe, not only capable of autonomously inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also possessing an extremely strong capacity for inclusion and governance over all laws in the world. He even felt that he could initially draw upon a trace of the weak power of the laws of heaven and earth to bolster himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the power of the Nascent Soul...\" Lin Xuan clenched his fist, and space twisted slightly between his fingers. Now, facing someone like You Quan at the peak of the Golden Core realm, he was confident he could suppress them with a flip of his hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He changed into a new green robe and restrained the majestic aura that had been overflowing due to his recent breakthrough, keeping it at the level of the early Nascent Soul stage, yet the profoundness and majesty originating from the chaotic source were difficult to completely conceal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to leave.\" His gaze swept over the chaotic swamp; having used this place for his breakthrough, he could consider himself to have a connection with it. He was just about to use \"Earth-Shrinking\" to depart when his brows twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Eye of Truth-Breaking\" fed back a trace of an extremely subtle yet incomparably pure thunder aura, originating from the bottom of the deepest pit blasted out by the final pillar of chaotic source thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure flashed, and he landed at the bottom of the pit. He saw that embedded in the scorched earth were several crystals the size of dragon eyes, possessing a chaotic luster with tiny electric snakes flickering across their surfaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Chaotic Thunder Crystal]: A top-grade Tier 5 spiritual material, formed when chaotic divine thunder strikes and condenses under specific conditions with extremely pure five-element baleful energy and the essence of the earth. It contains a trace of the chaotic divine thunder source and pure five-element baleful power; it can be used to temper the Nascent Soul, cultivate thunder-type or supreme body-refining divine abilities, and is also an excellent auxiliary material for refining thunder-attribute Heaven-Reaching Magic Treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's actually a Chaotic Thunder Crystal!\" Joy flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. This item would be of great benefit to his cultivation of the \"Nine-Turn Thunder Body\" and the further tempering of his chaotic Nascent Soul! He carefully collected these rare crystals, finding there were seven in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he put away the thunder crystals, the system's notification sound rang in his mind once again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully survived the chaotic heavenly tribulation, condensed the chaotic Nascent Soul, and achieved the hidden achievement 'Defying the Heavens'! Reward: 1000 special system points, unlocked hidden exchange item: 'Ten Thousand Transformations Thunder Pool' construction blueprint (fragment)!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ten Thousand Transformations Thunder Pool (Fragment)]: A special building-type blueprint. Once collected, it can be used to build the 'Ten Thousand Transformations Thunder Pool' in the system space or the real realm. The thunder pool can autonomously gather and nurture thunder, and different attribute thunder-type spiritual items can be added to it to derive all kinds of thunder in the heavens, possessing infinite wonderful uses such as body tempering, soul refining, enemy defense, and nourishing thunder-type living beings. (Note: The difficulty of collecting the blueprints and gathering the construction materials is extremely high.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His special points surged again to 1550! More importantly, this \"Ten Thousand Transformations Thunder Pool\" blueprint! Although it was only a fragment and difficult to build, the description alone showed its infinite potential; if it could be built, it would be a qualitative leap for his thunder technique cultivation and the accumulation of his foundation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that after the system upgrade, it has become more deeply bound to my growth; there are even hidden rewards for breaking through a major realm.\" Lin Xuan realized this in his heart, feeling more motivated to collect blueprints and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gained much, he no longer lingered. With a flicker of his figure, he appeared several dozen miles away. Using \"Earth-Shrinking\" at the Nascent Soul stage was like an instinct, with speed and flexibility far exceeding the Golden Core stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His spiritual sense was now powerful, and while traveling, he could clearly perceive the energy fluctuations and the movements of cultivators throughout the secret realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly feel that many powerful auras were moving toward the deeper parts of the secret realm, where it seemed more ancient and powerful opportunities were about to emerge. At the same time, he \"heard\" some discussions about \"Jin Shisan\" surviving the chaotic heavenly tribulation spreading among the cultivators, with versions becoming increasingly bizarre; some even said he was the reincarnation of an ancient Thunder God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan smiled and dismissed it, not caring. His strength had greatly increased, and as long as he did not expose his \"Mu Xuan\" identity, he would fear few troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the guidance of the Five Elements Rogue's map, he headed toward the next marked point—\"Meteor Lake.\" According to the map, this place was formed by the fall of an ancient extraterrestrial meteor, and the lake water contained starlight power and strange metals, potentially harboring special star-type treasures or material-refining materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later, a massive lake with shimmering, deep blue water appeared before his eyes. The lake surface was vast, stretching beyond sight; the water was not stagnant but instead had faint starlight rising from it, and the air was filled with a strange, ethereal yet heavy aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many cultivators had already gathered by the lake, some sitting cross-legged to absorb the starlight power dissipating from the lake to temper their bodies and refine their spirits; others used various means, attempting to delve into the lake bottom to explore; still others fought fiercely over certain star-shimmering ores by the lakeside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan's arrival did not cause much of a stir. Although his revealed early Nascent Soul cultivation was considered high here, it was not the absolute peak, and there were several auras by the lake no weaker than his own. He kept a low profile, found a quiet corner, and looked toward the lake bottom with his \"Eye of Truth-Breaking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lake was extremely deep, and the further down one went, the stronger the heavy starlight pressure became, and spiritual sense exploration was also greatly hindered. Deep at the bottom of the lake, it seemed that a large amount of meteor fragments were deposited, emitting intense metal-type and star-type fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starlight power... it doesn't conflict with my chaotic Dao; perhaps I can try to absorb some and see if it can be integrated into the Nascent Soul.\" Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, sat cross-legged, and tried to draw upon a trace of the starlight power contained in the lake water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the moment he drew upon the starlight power, a sudden change occurred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaotic Nascent Soul in his dantian actually trembled slightly on its own, showing a kind of... almost \"picky\" and \"disdainful\" attitude toward that starlight power? It was as if it were saying that such impure and mixed starlight power was not worthy of merging into the chaos!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Underworld Soul-Suppressing Token in his bosom once again transmitted a clear palpitation! This time, it did not point to the bottom of the lake, but to the opposite shore, a mountain range shrouded in thick star mist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Soul-Suppressing Token has a reaction to the starlight power? Or is it that there is something related to it on the other side?\" Lin Xuan was surprised and stopped the act of absorbing the starlight power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, his gaze piercing through the faint starlight on the lake surface, looking toward the hazy mountain shadows on the opposite shore. It seemed that the secret of Meteor Lake was not just the meteor iron and starlight power at the bottom of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was preparing to go around the lake to the other side to investigate, a burst of arrogant shouting came from not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost! This area of 'Star-Sinking Steel' is claimed by our Black Baleful Gang! If you don't want to die, get out now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five or six cultivators dressed in uniform black tight-fitting clothes, with ferocious ghost heads embroidered on their chests, were driving away some rogue cultivators by the lake. The leader, whose cultivation was at the late Golden Core stage, had a face full of flesh and an arrogant air. The area they had their eyes on happened to have several pieces of high-quality dark blue ore scattered about, which was precisely \"Star-Sinking Steel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driven-away rogue cultivators dared to be angry but dared not speak; this Black Baleful Gang had significant influence in the secret realm, and it was said that the gang leader was already at the early Nascent Soul stage, acting in a tyrannical manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan originally did not want to meddle in other people's business and prepared to leave directly. However, the small leader of the Black Baleful Gang scanned the area and saw Lin Xuan, who was alone and had an \"ordinary\" aura (after Lin Xuan restrained it). Seeing that he also seemed to want to leave, he assumed Lin Xuan was afraid of them, and evil intentions immediately arose in his heart, wanting to establish his authority in front of his subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! You in the green robe over there! I'm talking to you! Looking at you acting all sneaky, did you steal our Star-Sinking Steel? Hand over your storage bag for inspection!\" The small leader, along with several subordinates, surrounded him aggressively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan paused his steps, slowly turned around, and looked at them calmly: \"I have not touched the ore here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You say you didn't touch it, so you didn't? I say you did, so you did! Be sensible and hand it over yourself, lest we have to do it ourselves and leave you with neither body nor soul!\" The small leader grinned hideously and reached out to grab the Dust Ring at Lin Xuan's waist. He didn't take this \"ordinary\" early Nascent Soul cultivator in front of him seriously at all; after all, their gang leader was also at the Nascent Soul stage, and they had strength in numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the reaching hand, a trace of coldness flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted to keep a low profile, but trouble always found its way to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very well, it was a good time to test the power of the Nascent Soul stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not use any divine abilities; he simply raised his right hand casually, striking first despite starting later, and waved it forward lightly as if swatting a fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible yet majestic and vast force erupted with a bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hideous grin on the face of the late Golden Core small leader instantly froze, replaced by extreme terror! He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a meteor, and his protective spiritual light shattered like paper!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. While still in the air, his bones were already shattered, his internal organs turned to mush, and blood sprayed wildly; by the time he hit the ground, he had no breath left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few Black Baleful Gang disciples who had surrounded him were also swept by the aftermath of this force, like fallen leaves caught in a gale, screaming as they were scattered and thrown away, either dead or crippled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deathly silence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the cultivators by the lake who saw this scene froze in place, dumbfounded, with the sound of gasping for air rising one after another!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A late Golden Core cultivator, along with several early-to-mid Golden Core cultivators, was actually wiped out by a seemingly ordinary early Nascent Soul cultivator with a casual wave of his hand?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of strength was this?! Even a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to do it so nonchalantly, right?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the crowd looked at the green-robed cultivator again, their eyes were filled with awe and fear, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze. Some who had previously had ideas about Lin Xuan were breaking out in cold sweat, feeling lingering fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan didn't even look at the corpses, as if he had just done a trivial thing. He cast his gaze toward the opposite shore of the lake again, his figure flickered, and he transformed into a green rainbow, breaking through the star mist and speeding toward the mountains on the opposite shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not until his figure disappeared into the star mist did the people by the lake dare to breathe deeply and discuss the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My god... who exactly is that person? Wiping out a late Golden Core cultivator with a casual wave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Definitely not an ordinary Nascent Soul! Could he be a hidden direct disciple of some major power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The direction he went... is the Star Mist Mountains? That place is said to be extremely dangerous; even Nascent Soul cultivators go in and never come out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Jin Shisan'! He must be that 'Jin Shisan' who survived the chaotic heavenly tribulation!\" Someone finally connected the two and exclaimed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the news of \"Jin Shisan\" wiping out the Black Baleful Gang and heading deep into the Star Mist Mountains spread faster than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, Lin Xuan had already passed through the thick star mist and landed before the mountains on the opposite shore. Before his eyes was a mountain peak that towered into the clouds, seemingly made entirely of black metal, and on the mountain, some ancient architectural ruins could be vaguely seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palpitation of the Underworld Soul-Suppressing Token reached its peak here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter 61)\u003C\u002Fp>",2471,"2026-06-20T01:44:26.720Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9a86e5842be46fd6eb3a60489b86bca2dd237b3543b133fabb9ecaa6cb3e8e1b","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-62","this-villain-is-too-self-destructive-chapter-60",182,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-villain-is-too-self-destructive-cover.jpg"]
