"Sect Leader Su, if you insist, letâs see you try!"
Ling Yue was utterly unafraid.
She was determined to protect Lin Changâsheng.
Only if Lin Changâsheng rises will the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm have hope in the future.
Otherwise, the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm wonât be able to stand firm in this Immortal Relic Land.
It might even be devoured by all the great powers.
"Jiaoyue Fairy, this started because of me. You should stay out of it!"
Lin Changâsheng reminded her sternly.
As long as Ling Yue left, he could have Xiaobai take him away.
If he left Ling Yue behind, her life would surely be in danger.
"Stay out of it? You absorbed my sectâs Holy Land spiritual energy, and if you just up and die, isnât that a blatant waste? If you have to die, you better die at my hands. Before the three great Demon Sects arrive, youâd better get lost. Iâll settle the score with you later!"
Ling Yue gazed earnestly at Lin Changâsheng as she spoke.
This left Lin Changâsheng somewhat at a loss for words.
He hadnât expected Ling Yue already knew heâd taken the Holy Landâs spiritual energy.
Heâd thought heâd escaped quickly enough, silent as a shadow.
"Leave? You think youâll leave? All of you are staying! Little bastard, you killed my sonâtoday, you pay with your life!"
Nie Buping shouted furiously.
Heâd thought Su Changkong would crush Lin Changâsheng, but never expected Ling Yue to come charging in.
Now it seemed they had no choice but to act.
Nie Buping now knew Lin Changâsheng had killed Nie Xiangyuan.
When heâd left, Nie Buping had been too hasty to spot Lin Changâshengâs flaws, but upon his return, heâd heard the escape tale.
He immediately understoodâhis son, Nie Xiangyuan, and the Seven Fiends Tributor had all probably been slain by Lin Changâsheng.
Today, Lin Changâsheng must not escape alive.
As his voice faded, Nie Buping wasted no more time, charging straight at Lin Changâsheng for revenge.
Jiu Wushang wasnât to be outdone; Lin Changâsheng had killed many from his Celestial Ghost Sect.
This blood debt had to be repaid.
Not to mention, Lin Changâsheng had even absorbed the power of eight heavens and earths; his Divine Sense was monstrous.
Refining his soul into the Myriad Soul Bannerânothing could be more perfect.
Both Nie Buping and Jiu Wushangâs eyes were fixed on Lin Changâsheng.
By contrast, Su Changkong and Ling Yue were not their targets.
"Back off! Lin Changâsheng is mine!"
Su Changkong barked, voice thunderous.
Lin Changâsheng was his key to breaking through the shacklesâhe absolutely couldnât let him fall into Demon Sect hands.
He immediately leaped into the fray, hoping to beat the two Demon Sect leaders to Lin Changâsheng and crush him first.
Ling Yue saw this and didnât dare delay, instantly blocking Su Changkongâs path.
She wasnât about to let Su Changkong succeed.
"Sect Leader Su, I urge you to reconsider. How about joining forces with me to oppose the Demon Sects, and handling your business with Lin Changâsheng later? What do you say?"
Ling Yue tried to persuade Su Changkong.
If Su Changkong teamed up with her to fight the Demon Sects, all three of them had a chance to survive.
If they fought among themselves, theyâd probably all die here.
"Youâ"
Su Changkong was so angry at Ling Yue he nearly coughed up blood.
He was here to kill Lin Changâsheng; if he joined forces with Ling Yue, wouldnât he be saving him?
How could he let this brat Lin Changâsheng benefit from that?
But at this moment Su Changkong had little choice.
If he didnât cooperate with Ling Yue, Lin Changâsheng would probably get crushed by the two Demon Sect leaders.
Then Lin Changâshengâs soul would be refined into the Myriad Soul Banner by the Celestial Ghost Sect, and his body turned into a Corpse Puppet by the Corpse King Sectâheâd get nothing out of it.
"Fine! Drive these two away, and if you dare stop me from crushing Lin Changâsheng again, Iâll wipe out your Yanyue Immortal Sect too!"
Su Changkong had no choice but to agree.
As the two joined the fray to fight Nie Buping and Jiu Wushang,
Lin Changâsheng was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
He was struggling just to fight one Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivator,
let alone twoâhe didnât stand a chance.
"Xiaobai, what are you waiting for? Make your move!"
Lin Changâsheng communicated with Xiaobai via Divine Sense, intending her to use her Space Secret Technique to get him out.
As for Ling Yueâhe simply couldnât worry about her right now!
"Now, when youâre in danger, you think of me? Why not holler for Yun Chan? You call her âMasterâ so sweetly!"
Xiaobaiâs voice wafted out, dripping with jealousy.
So, everything heâd been up to, Xiaobai had seen from inside the Spirit Beast Bag?
"Xiaobai, itâs not what you think, Iâ"
Boomâ
Before Lin Changâsheng could finish, Nie Buping struck, his Mid Nascent Soul magical power blasting Lin Changâsheng into the air.
Even though Lin Changâsheng possessed the Dragon God Golden Body Saint Body and could endure for now, he couldnât hold out long.
Who knew if Su Changkong might change sides again?
Might even sabotage him behind his back. Lin Changâsheng placed no faith in Su Changkong genuinely helping him.
"You little bastard, die!"
Suddenly, Jiu Wushang appeared behind Lin Changâshengâslamming his palm toward Lin Changâshengâs back, aiming to end him in a single blow.
As danger struck, Lin Changâsheng threw a punch right back.
"Dragon Godâs World Destruction!"
Roooarâ
This punch carried immense powerâa dragonâs roar echoed through a hundred miles of sea.
Rumbleâ
Fist and palm collided violently, sending waves into a frenzy across the sea.
Lin Changâsheng and Jiu Wushang were both blasted backward.
But Lin Changâsheng was sent farther back.
After all, his cultivation couldnât compare.
Unfortunately, as Lin Changâsheng was sent flying, he crashed straight into Su Changkongâs path.
Su Changkong saw the opportunityâheâd never let it slip by.
He instantly adjusted his attack trajectory, and his palm shot toward the back of Lin Changâshengâs head.
If this palm struck and killed Lin Changâsheng, he could use a secret art to escape this place.
Once he captured Lin Changâshengâs opportunity, he could then break through his shackles.
"Damnâ"
Feeling the deadly palm closing in behind him, Lin Changâsheng had no time to defend.
But just as Su Changkongâs palm was about to crush Lin Changâsheng, golden light erupted from within his body.
Suddenly, a Nine-Layer Divine Tower manifested at his back.
Boomâ
A deep crash soundedâthe Nine-Layer Divine Tower didnât budge an inch, completely blocking Su Changkongâs strike.
"Master, your humble servant comes to your aid!"
In the next instant, Yun Chanâs voice rang out.
She dashed out from the Spirit Beast Bag, directing the Nine-Layer Divine Tower to block all attacks for Lin Changâsheng.
"This Treasure Tower of yours seems quite extraordinary..."
Even Lin Changâsheng was surprisedâthis Nine-Layer Tower could withstand a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivatorâs attack?
"This is the Tower of Myriad Demons, the supreme treasure of my Eastern Emperor Demon Race! It can contain ten thousand beastsâthe more demon beasts within, the greater its power!"
Yun Chan explained it clearly.
As the Demon Emperorâs daughter, it was only fitting that she held the raceâs supreme treasure.
After all, she was his only daughter. Whenever there was news, the Demon Emperor would immediately send demon beast legions into the Southern Realm to look for her.
Clearly, the Demon Emperor doted on her deeply.
"Tower of Myriad Demons? Are you from the Eastern Emperor Demon Race?"
When Su Changkong saw the Tower of Myriad Demons, his pupils shrank to pinpricks.
Just how many opportunities had Lin Changâsheng stumbled onto?
By his side was not only a white fox capable of space-walking, now there was a demon race noble protecting him too?
And it seemed her identity was anything but ordinary.
This Tower of Myriad Demons was no mere trinket.
Not just anyone could own such a treasure.
"For a cow-nosed old Taoist, youâve got sharp eyes. You know the power of the Tower of Myriad Demons, so why arenât you running yet?"
Yun Chan put her hands on her hips and pouted adorably.
"Run? Looks to me like youâre the ones who ought to be running!"
Su Changkong snapped, voice rising.
Heâd tried to take Lin Changâsheng down with a sneak attack,
but this girl ruined it all.
Sheâd totally screwed up his master plan.
Wooooooooâ
Just as the battle raged on,
a Demon Evil Storm swept brutally across the ocean.
At first, no one cared; after all, Demon Evil Storms were strong, but couldnât do much to Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
But this storm kept getting fiercer and fiercer,
even drawing all the seawater up into the sky.
The ocean level dropped suddenly, finally catching everyoneâs attention.
"Is...is the Sea God Tower appearing?"
Jiu Wushangâs eyes went wide, staring at the celestial anomaly, muttering to himself.
Because this time, the storm was stronger than anything before.
The seawater sucked into the heavens showed no sign of falling, turning the sky into a sea itself.
And at the very heart of the distant storm, a terrifying dragon-absorbs-river phenomenon appeared.
It was like the Dragon God was enraged, draining all the sea dry.
"Over there!"
Jiu Wushang spotted the Sea God Tower emerging.
He instantly gave up attacking Lin Changâsheng, rushing toward the stormâs center.
The Sea God Tower was a once-in-centuries anomaly.
It only appeared brieflyâmiss it, and youâd regret it forever.
He could kill Lin Changâsheng any timeâthere was no rush now.
Even Nie Buping, upon seeing the phenomenon, stopped trying to crush Lin Changâsheng.
He too sped toward the eye of the maelstrom.
The Sea God Tower was a phenomenal opportunityâif they could obtain it, they could break through their shackles.
"Could it be the Sea Godâs Ruins surfacing?"
Su Changkong watched the two men rush off, stunned in his heart.
He hadnât imagined that, chasing Lin Changâsheng, heâd run into the emergence of the Sea God Tower.
This kind of opportunity was not to be missed!
With a flash of light, Su Changkong soared toward the stormâs center as well.
"Thank you, Jiaoyue Fairy, for your help. I, Lin Changâsheng, will never forget this debt!"
Lin Changâsheng called out his gratitude to Ling Yue.
Even though heâd been able to escape on his own,
she had come all this way to help himâhe had to thank her.
"No need for pleasantries. As long as you survive, I have no regrets. The Sea God Tower is surfacingâdo you plan to go?"
Ling Yue asked bluntly, icy-cool as ever.
The Sea God Tower was no ordinary place but a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land left behind by a Divinity Transformation Ancestor.
It contained tremendous opportunities.
Gain them, and one could not only ascend to Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, but might even soar to the Upper Realm.
"How could I miss such an opportunity?"
Opportunities like this were rareâheâd be a fool to skip it.
Lin Changâsheng then used the Bone Transformation Technique to return to his true appearance.
Since his identity was already exposed, there was no point in hiding anymore.
He and Ling Yue then headed for the stormâs eye together,
wanting to see firsthand what marvel this Sea God Tower truly was.
If they could obtain the means to advance to Nascent Soul, nothing could be better.
The closer to the heart of the storm, the fiercer it became.
Finally, only those with a Golden Core body or greater could withstand its forceâ
any lesser cultivation was simply destroyed by the storm.
When they got to the center, plenty of people had already gathered.
Most were the masters of the Five Great Sects from the Demon Evil Sea, plus all kinds of Sacrificial Elders and their prodigy disciples.
Lin Changâsheng even spotted several familiar faces in the crowd.
They were the new generation prodigies of the Five Great Demon Sects: Yin Yang Hallâs Bu Tianzhi, Celestial Demon Sectâs Wan Wushuang, Taiyin Islandâs Jian Kefa, and others.
Lin Changâsheng had met these prodigies back when the Void Divine Hall opened.
"Itâs him?"
When Wan Wushuang saw Lin Changâsheng, hate flashed in her eyes.
