Chapter 672: Creation Awakened, Reason in Control

"He is no longer a demonic cultivator now!"

This discovery left everyone stunned.

The reason the Subduing Demon Pestle's power was greatly reduced was that there was no longer any demonic Qi within Lin Xuan's body.

He had indeed cast off the state of the Creation Madman and returned to the righteous path.

But even so, the righteous Coalition Army had no intention of stopping.

"Even if he is not a demonic cultivator, it cannot change the fact that he is addicted to slaughter!" Jian Wuchen said through gritted teeth.

"Someone must avenge the tens of thousands of cultivators who died at his hands!"

The others nodded in agreement one after another.

No matter what state Lin Xuan was in now, the sins he had committed could not be wiped away.

"Since that is the case..." A cold glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.

"Then let me experience the might of the righteous Coalition Army!"

The power of the Creation bloodline erupted completely, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire mountain peak.

Facing the joint siege of the three major sects, Lin Xuan did not choose to flee, but instead pressed the white bead left by his master against his chest.

In an instant, the life essence of Hunyuanzi and the Creation bloodline within Lin Xuan's body resonated in a marvelous way.

A gentle radiance surged out from the bead, seeping into Lin Xuan's bloodline like sweet dew.

This time, Lin Xuan could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within his bloodline, yet his reason remained clear.

He was no longer a puppet driven by his bloodline, but a true master.

His master's sacrifice gave him unprecedented enlightenment—power can be used for slaughter, and it can also be used for protection.

"Master, I understand now," Lin Xuan said softly.

"Power itself has no good or evil; the key lies in the heart of the person who uses it."

"I will use this power to atone for my sins and protect the innocent."

As soon as the words fell, the sword Qi of the Immortal-Slaying Sword had already slashed before him.

This strike contained the foundation of the Heaven Sword Sect accumulated over thousands of years; the sword light was like a pouring heavenly river, unstoppable.

Yet Lin Xuan felt not the slightest fear.

When the sword Qi of the Immortal-Slaying Sword slashed toward him, a brilliant golden light erupted from Lin Xuan's body.

The power of the Creation bloodline was perfectly released under the guidance of his reason.

This golden light was completely different from the blood-red radiance before; it contained no violent killing intent, only pure creative power.

"Boom!"

The sword Qi collided with the golden light, erupting with a heaven-shaking roar.

But this time, the invincible sword Qi of the Immortal-Slaying Sword was actually blocked with ease.

Jian Wuchen's expression changed drastically, and he looked at everything before him in disbelief.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword was the Heaven Sword Sect's town-securing treasure, with power sufficient to kill a Great Vehicle stage expert.

But now it was easily neutralized by Lin Xuan, which meant Lin Xuan's strength had reached an unimaginable level.

"Impossible!" Jian Wuchen gritted his teeth.

"Even if you have regained your reason, you cannot be this strong!"

Yet the facts were before his eyes, and he could not help but believe them.

Lin Xuan was no longer the madman who only knew how to slaughter, but an Immortal cultivator who had truly mastered this power.

He slowly raised his right fist, and the power of Creation condensed upon it.

This punch appeared plain and unremarkable, but the power contained within it made the heavens and earth change color.

"Creation Punch!"

As the punch was thrown, space itself began to distort.

This was not destruction, but true creation.

Wherever the fist wind passed, new matter was actually born from the void.

This was the true profound meaning of the Creation bloodline—the power of creation from nothingness.

The Five Elements Array was as fragile as paper before the power of Creation and was torn apart in an instant.

Wuyuanzi and a group of Elders were sent flying by the powerful backlash, blood spraying wildly from their mouths.

"This... what is this power?" Wuyuanzi stared with horror-stricken eyes.

He had cultivated the Dao of the Five Elements for thousands of years and had never seen such terrifying power.

That ability to create matter from nothingness simply defied the laws of heaven and earth.

Abbot Fahui's face also turned pale, and the Subduing Demon Pestle trembled violently in his hands.

This treasure of the Buddha Sect sensed an unprecedented threat and actually began to defend autonomously.

"Amitabha!" Abbot Fahui pressed his palms together and urged the Subduing Demon Pestle with all his might.

Golden Buddha light soared into the sky, transforming into the phantom of a Thousand-Handed Guanyin.

"Buddha light shines everywhere, all demons retreat!"

Every hand of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin held a different Dharma Artifact, attacking Lin Xuan simultaneously.

This was the strongest divine ability of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, which had once slain countless demonic outsiders.

Yet Lin Xuan merely waved his hand lightly, and the power of Creation swept out.

The phantom of the Thousand-Handed Guanyin collapsed instantly, and the golden light of the Subduing Demon Pestle was also completely suppressed.

Abbot Fahui discovered with horror that Lin Xuan's strength had actually broken through to the Great Vehicle stage in this short amount of time.

This was not the false power brought by bloodline frenzy, but true strength from a dual breakthrough in state of mind and cultivation.

"How could this be?" Abbot Fahui muttered to himself.

"It was clearly at the late Integration Stage just a moment ago, how did it suddenly break through?"

What he did not know was that the life essence of Hunyuanzi not only helped Lin Xuan regain his sanity but also provided him with the opportunity to break through.

The foundation of his master's thousands of years of cultivation, combined with Lin Xuan's complete control over his bloodline power, allowed him to break through to the early Mahayana Stage in one fell swoop.

The current Lin Xuan is already a true peerless powerhouse.

The battle was exceptionally intense, and the righteous Coalition Army used all their trump cards.

The Elders of the Heaven Sword Sect formed a Sword Formation, and ten million sword Qi descended like a rainstorm.

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect activated various Magic Treasures, and the Five Elements Power intertwined in the air.

The Arhats of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple chanted Buddhist scriptures, attempting to use the Dharma of the Buddha Sect to purify Lin Xuan.

But faced with the truly awakened Creation Bloodline, their attacks appeared pale and powerless.

Lin Xuan displayed unprecedented combat techniques during the battle.

He perfectly fused the power of creation with various spells, and every strike contained the might to split the heavens and earth.

With one palm strike, the palm wind transformed into a golden dragon, tearing the Sword Formation to shreds.

With one stomp, the earth cracked, and all the Five Elements Magic Treasures were shattered.

With one long roar, the sound waves vibrated, and the sound of the Buddhist scriptures came to an abrupt halt.

The more the Coalition Army fought, the more terrified they became; they discovered that Lin Xuan's strength had already exceeded their range of understanding.

A powerhouse of this level could no longer be compensated for by numbers.

"Retreat!" Jian Wuchen finally issued the order to retreat.

To continue fighting would only be throwing their lives away for nothing.

But Lin Xuan did not pursue; he remembered his master's teachings, that one must maintain a heart of benevolence even when facing enemies.

"Everyone, I have said that I do not wish to be your enemy," Lin Xuan said calmly.

"I know I have committed unforgivable sins, but please give me a chance to atone."

"Today I could kill all of you, but I choose to spare you."

"I hope you can understand that I am no longer the out-of-control demon I was before."

Jian Wuchen and the others had complex expressions; they did not expect Lin Xuan to spare them.

If it had been the previous Creation Madman, they would have long since died without a burial place.

"You... have you really regained your sanity?" Jian Wuchen asked tentatively.

"Yes," Lin Xuan nodded and said.

"Thanks to my master's sacrifice, he saved me with his life."
