"Lin Changâsheng is actually battling Su Changkong? Heâs fighting a Divinity Transformation powerhouse with just his Nascent Soul body?"
"Impossible, right? Lin Changâsheng is only at late stage Nascent Soulâhow could he possibly stand up to Su Changkong at Divinity Transformation?"
"Then tell me, besides Lin Changâsheng, who else could it be?"
"Uh..."
"The odds are slim, but I still hope Lin Changâsheng wins. Otherwise, the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm might face annihilation!"
...
The disciples of Golden Talisman Sect whispered among themselves.
Not far away, Shi Haoâs eyes lit up with envyâwhat he wouldnât give to have Lin Changâshengâs monstrous talent.
"This is unreal. Daoist Linâwhose cultivation was equal to ours back thenâhas actually grown so powerful?"
Su Ying said, face full of admiration.
She had only met Lin Changâsheng once back then; their cultivation was about the same, both at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
No one could have imagined Lin Changâsheng would now be able to hold his own against a Divinity Transformation powerhouse, while she had just reached Foundation Establishment.
"Hurry! If the grand array is breached, a Divinity Transformation expert could wipe out all life within a hundred-mile radius!"
Elder Chen pressed a hand to his chest while urging everyone onward.
Even though Lin Changâsheng could set up a grand array and trap Su Changkong for a whileâ
âhe couldnât quite believe Lin could actually kill Su Changkong.
So he rushed the disciples to leave, the farther the better.
Inside the grand array.
Their fists clashed furiously, holding for three heartbeatsâthen Lin Changâsheng was overwhelmed, blasted away, slamming hard into the array barrier.
Luckily, his Divinity Transformation-level body kept him from being gravely injured.
The fact he could withstand a Divinity Transformation expert using only Nascent Soul magical power was already a feat beyond compare.
"Whatâs wrong? Is that all you got? You make Divinity Transformation cultivators look pathetic!"
Lin Changâsheng taunted. Losing was normalâSu Changkong was a Divinity Transformation powerhouse, after all. But he absolutely couldnât let Su keep his cool.
If Su Changkong calmed down and found an array-breaking technique, Lin Changâsheng would have no chance.
He had to trapâand slayâSu Changkong inside the grand array.
"Shut your mouth!"
Su Changkong roared in anger, lunged forward, and resumed his savage assaults on Lin Changâsheng.
But with his Divinity Transformation body, Lin Changâsheng could take several blows and still survive.
Instead, Su Changkong kept burning through his primordial power, attacking and chasing Lin Changâsheng, all while activating his Primordial Power Realm to suppress souls.
His primordial power was draining fast.
Half an hour later, Lin Changâsheng was blasted away by Su Changkong once more. His throat tasted sweet, almost coughing up bloodâ
âbut he forced it down.
Su Changkong wasnât looking so great either.
Seventy percent of his primordial power was already spent.
If this kept up, he couldnât guarantee heâd kill Lin Changâsheng before he ran out entirely.
"Already tired? Iâm just getting warmed up!"
Lin Changâsheng, seeing Su Changkong hesitate, kept up the taunts.
"You little bastard! Think I donât see what youâre up to? Trying to drain my primordial power and use the grand array to kill me!"
Only now did Su Changkong realizeâLin Changâsheng hadnât entered to take a beating for nothing.
Clearly, he wanted to exhaust Suâs strength.
With only thirty percent of his power left, Su had to make it last.
"Just figured it out? Isnât it a bit late?"
Lin Changâsheng waved his hand and pulled out a Myriad Soul Banner.
But this was no ordinary Myriad Soul Bannerâit was a Million Soul Banner.
Heâd refined it on his way back to the Southern Realm after slaughtering an entire city of the Beimu Immortal Race in Celestial Pool City.
The Million Soul Banner was far stronger than the usual version.
Even the divine sense of Divinity Transformation experts would take a massive hit.
Su Changkong saw the Soul Banner and sneered, "You think the soul attacks from a Myriad Soul Banner can touch me?"
"Try it and see!"
As Lin Changâsheng spoke, he decisively swung the Million Soul Banner.
Wooooââ
Ehehehââ
In the next instant, a million souls surged out, like hellâs gate openingâtheir horrific wails made ears buzz, scalps tingle.
And that was just from hearing the sound. Su Changkong, hammered by the soulstorm, felt like his mind was splitting open.
Even with Divinity Transformation-level divine sense, the agony was intense.
"MiâMillion Soul Banner?"
Su Changkong gasped. When did Lin Changâsheng get a Million Soul Banner? Had he really butchered an entire city?
How had he not heard about this?
Seeing Su Changkongâs twisted expression, Lin Changâsheng knew the banner was working, and shot forward, blending into the swirling souls.
Arriving before Su Changkong, he slashed with his Unrivaled Divine Blade, aiming straight for Suâs neck.
He wanted to kill him with one blow.
But at this critical moment, Su Changkong reacted instantlyâhis hand swept forward and, relying solely on brute strength, grabbed Lin Changâshengâs Unrivaled Divine Blade.
This truly surprised Lin Changâsheng.
"Faking it?"
Lin Changâsheng suddenly realizedâthe bastard had acted vulnerable to lure him in?
"So what?"
Su Changkong sneered, then launched a brutal palm strike with his left hand.
Lin Changâsheng now had two choices: abandon his Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure and run, or stand his ground and take the attack head on.
No way was Lin going to ditch the treasureâit was formed from over a hundred spirit treasures, damn near impossible to get.
So Lin responded in kind, smashing his own palm forward.
Boomââ
Their palms collided againâLin Changâsheng felt his entire arm would shatter from the impact.
Even with a Divinity Transformation body, his magical power was no match for Su Changkong.
"Devouring Immortal Demon Technique!"
Bearing the blood in his mouth, Lin Changâsheng roared, unleashing the Devouring Immortal Demon Technique heâd just mastered to the entry level.
This technique could devour even immortal power, let alone primordial power.
Activating the technique, Lin Changâshengâs hand fused to Su Changkongâsâprimordial power surged into Lin.
"Whatâwhat is this demon technique? Lin Changâsheng, youâre a cultivator of the Southern Domain and youâre training such wicked arts?"
Su Changkong was mortified. If Lin kept draining him, heâd be left with nothing.
"Any technique that can kill you is a good technique!"
Lin Changâsheng frantically siphoned with the Devouring Immortal Demon Technique, refusing to waste this chance.
In just a few breaths, Su Changkong felt a tenth of his primordial power vanish.
With only twenty percent left, if this kept up, he might die here today.
Su Changkong clenched his teeth, gripped his Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, and slashed it onto his own left arm.
Splurtââ
Blood sprayed as Su Changkongâs left arm was severedâhe chose to sacrifice his limb to save his life.
With his arm gone, Lin Changâshengâs demon technique couldnât drain any more power.
But now Su Changkong was seriously woundedâ
âplus, he only had twenty percent of his magical power left. Escaping this grand array would be near impossible.
