Chapter 422 - 335: Shocking Slay of a Void Refining Expert, Holy Essence Blood Fruit

Facing the oncoming palm strike from the chief of the Demon God Tribe, Lin Chang’sheng showed no intention of backing down.

He too unleashed a palm strike in return.

Flames shrouded his palm seal, golden dragons coiled around it, giving off an extraordinary aura.

Rumble—

In the next instant, the two palm seals clashed violently in midair.

With an explosive crash, the surrounding wooden houses were instantly shattered and mountain rocks blasted into the air.

Lin Chang’sheng felt as if his palm seal had struck an invincible iron wall, making his arm go numb.

"What a domineering power!"

Lin Chang’sheng was inwardly shocked—the might of the Void Refining Stage truly couldn’t be underestimated.

If Divine Sense weren’t being suppressed here, the opponent might already be able to use a Primordial Spirit Dharma Body.

Because once cultivators reached the Void Refining Stage, their Nascent Soul fully transformed into the Primordial Spirit, allowing them to fight outside the body.

If that happened, Lin Chang’sheng would be even further on the back foot.

After shattering Lin Chang’sheng’s palm seal, Gu Ji’s palm strike didn’t slow at all and headed straight for Lin Chang’sheng.

With the palm strike barreling down, Lin Chang’sheng had no way to evade and was forced to take it head-on.

Boom—

Just as Lin Chang’sheng braced himself to endure the crushing force, a golden rune suddenly flickered around him, transforming into a golden robe that blocked the palm strike.

"What the...?"

Seeing this, even Lin Chang’sheng was caught off guard. Wasn’t this the Golden Robe he just got?

This thing actually has a shielding function?

"How is this possible?"

Gu Ji was equally shocked by the scene.

The opponent was actually able to block his full-force palm strike?

This kid was only at the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation—how could he have such a powerful defense?

He’d intended to crush Lin Chang’sheng with a single blow, but now it seemed far more difficult.

"Looks like I’ll just have to play with you for a while!"

Since they’d already started fighting, Lin Chang’sheng decided to have a real bout with Gu Ji and see just how strong this Void Refining Stage really was.

Roar—

Lin Chang’sheng immediately unleashed his Celestial Wasteland Dragon Divine Body.

The immense power of the Dragon God burst forth, circling in the sky before returning into Lin Chang’sheng’s body.

With the blessing of the Divine Dragon Power, Lin Chang’sheng’s physical strength skyrocketed madly.

In the blink of an eye, he had surpassed the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation and made a leap to the Early Stage of Void Refining.

This sight made Gu Ji’s aged eyes go wide.

But the show wasn’t over.

After activating the Celestial Wasteland Dragon Divine Body, Lin Chang’sheng once again unleashed the Celestial Ghost Devouring God Technique.

Bursting his life span for power, his cultivation surged higher and higher.

Lin Chang’sheng was unafraid of burning his lifespan, because as long as he contracted powerful spirits, he could obtain some of their abilities—lifespan included.

Not long ago, he’d signed a contract with the Nine-Eyed Taotie, gaining another five hundred years of life.

By burning his lifespan, Lin Chang’sheng boosted his Primordial Power cultivation to the Early Stage of Void Refining in just three breaths.

Now, in both cultivation and physical body, Lin Chang’sheng was on par with a genuine Void Refining Early Stage powerhouse.

Seeing this, Gu Ji was full of regret. Why had he even tried to attack Lin Chang’sheng?

Now, trying to crush the kid was almost impossible.

"Come and fight!"

Lin Chang’sheng swung his blade, unleashing a twisted-space Blade Aura straight at Gu Ji.

Gu Ji saw the attack coming and knew better than to meet it head-on.

This strike distorted even space itself—the power was clear as day.

Gu Ji instantly pulled a staff from his Storage Bag, intricate and mysterious Divine Patterns carved along its length.

Whoosh—

He swept the staff, causing space itself to roil and quake.

This artifact was clearly far from ordinary.

Boom—

In the next moment, Blade Aura clashed with staff shadow, sending a shockwave blasting in all directions.

Even the massive ancient trees nearby trembled, showering leaves everywhere.

Both men had used their full strength—the power was truly monstrous.

Everything within a hundred yards was sent flying, houses collapsing and rocks splitting apart.

This time, it wasn’t Lin Chang’sheng who got knocked flying.

Instead, Gu Ji was shaken backward, hands gripping his staff trembling uncontrollably.

Cracks had already appeared at the base of his thumbs, with bright red blood oozing out.

"This kid is actually this strong?"

Gu Ji was utterly rattled—he’d never expected Lin Chang’sheng’s strength to be so overbearing.

It seemed handling the kid personally was out of the question—better target his companions instead.

"Quick, grab them!"

Gu Ji barked out the order, wanting the tribe members to seize the disciples from the Southern Realm and use them to threaten Lin Chang’sheng.

But the disciples were protected by Wine Sword Immortal and Yan Zhen, making it almost impossible for ordinary folks to break through their defense.

"Thousand-Mile Ice Seal!"

Yan Zhen swung her sword, unleashing Extreme Ice Sword Aura to lock down ten miles, freezing all incoming Demon God Tribe members into statues.

Even several leaders couldn’t withstand Yan Zhen and fell one after another.

As the battle grew increasingly deadlocked, Gao Lin dashed over from the distance.

"Everyone, this was our Demon God Tribe’s failure as hosts. Please, show mercy!"

Gao Lin cupped his fists, hoping Lin Chang’sheng and his group would let things go.

But since the fight had already started, Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t about to leave empty handed.

"Leader Gao, I saved your lives and this is how your tribe repays us—by surrounding us for the slaughter? And now you ask us to show mercy? If we weren’t so powerful, I bet you’d have already sacrificed us to the Demon God! This has nothing to do with you, but I suggest you stay out of it!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied bluntly.

If not for the fact that he once knew Gao Lin, he wouldn’t even spare him.

"Gao Lin, drop the hypocritical act. Us dying would suit you just fine—maybe you’d even become chief! Frankly, I bet you’ve been in on this from the start. Save your crocodile tears."

Lu Fang taunted coldly.
