Chapter 408: Chapter 120: Blade Cuts Nascent Soul—In the Face of Great Power, We Are All Ants!

Seeing the Nascent Soul True Self of the Fifth Young Master appear, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Have you been pushed to this extent?"

"It seems your life-saving cards are running low!"

Lin Chen was well aware that for any cultivator, the Nascent Soul Emergence was a last resort.

Because once the Nascent Soul emerges, regardless of whether there is a battle, it would incur a significant cost.

The Divine Soul weakens, and even one’s cultivation could regress...

It takes months or even years of recovery to restore.

However, simultaneously, the arrival of the Nascent Soul True Self amplifies one’s strength exponentially!

The Fifth Young Master, who originally had middling power among those in the Nascent Soul Mid-Period, saw his strength soar to approach the Late Period of Nascent Soul after revealing his True Self!

"But ultimately, your foundation is too weak. Even revealing the True Self, it’s still not enough..."

Lin Chen’s heart stirred, an enigmatic power enveloping him.

"Zhulong’s power!"

Indeed, Lin Chen had not utilized his physical strength before, but now with Zhulong’s power descending, his fleshly strength doubled again!

With a thought, a lower-grade magical treasure appeared in his hand.

To avoid revealing his identity, Lin Chen didn’t use the Demon-slaying Blade directly.

This lower-grade long blade was something Lin Chen had acquired at an auction in Wenda City a year ago, at a great cost.

Now was the time to use it.

After the Nascent Soul True Form was manifested, a faint golden hue appeared between the Fifth Young Master’s brows.

"Taoist friend, retreat now... there’s still time. When the ancestor arrives, it will be your time of death!" the Fifth Young Master threatened.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Heh, in that case... I must finish this quickly!"

Lin Chen, holding the Demon-slaying Blade, charged fiercely at the Fifth Young Master.

The speed of his blade was almost imperceptible.

The Fifth Young Master immediately sensed something amiss, and quickly reinforced his Protective True Essence.

The True Essence of the Nascent Soul True Self was several times thicker than before!

However... it was of no use!

"Ten times, Vibrating Blade!"

Lin Chen took a deep breath and slashed directly at the Nascent Soul of the Fifth Young Master.

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed as the Protective True Essence surrounding the Nascent Soul shattered layer by layer.

The next moment, Lin Chen’s Treasure Blade struck the Nascent Soul of the Fifth Young Master.

Yet at the same time, the Fifth Young Master’s Nascent Soul suddenly turned into a mirage and vanished.

"There!"

Lin Chen swiftly turned around, looking hundreds of meters away.

At this moment, the Fifth Young Master was filled with dread, face full of disbelief, saying:

"No... this is impossible!"

"This power... are you actually an Ancient Body Cultivator?"

The Fifth Young Master could hardly believe that even with his Nascent Soul True Self, he couldn’t withstand a single strike from Lin Chen!

This strike not only shattered his Protective True Essence but also forced out one of his life-saving treasures.

"Damn it, this Illusory Heart Protection Talisman... it’s a half-step Fifth Tier talisman, given by my grandfather when I broke through to the Golden Core, and yet..."

The Fifth Young Master felt his heart sink.

Even an incomplete Fifth Tier Talisman belonged to the realm of a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation.

This talisman could be used three times in total, it was his last Protective Treasure...

This meant he could at most withstand Lin Chen for three more blades.

Or rather, the third blade would be his time of demise!

The Fifth Young Master hadn’t even had time to react when his figure suddenly shifted again, appearing hundreds of meters away.

Lin Chen suddenly appeared behind him, seeing the dissipating Nascent Soul Mirage in front of him, showing a regretful expression.

"What a pity, such a Protective Treasure... wasted like this!"

Only one life-saving chance left!

The Fifth Young Master was filled with terror, not even bothering to consider how strong Lin Chen’s power was.

He forsook attacking the Changchun Sect, fleeing straight away into the distance.

"Run, flee quickly!"

"I’ve just turned a hundred years old, I still have a thousand years of life left! How can I die here..."

At this moment, the Fifth Young Master had only one thought in mind, the farther he could escape, the better!

But Lin Chen was destined not to let him go.

Watching the Fifth Young Master fly out tens of miles in an instant, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate to pursue!

Lin Chen turned into an Escape Light, chasing after the Fifth Young Master.

The speed was actually several times faster than the Fifth Young Master revealing the Nascent Soul True Self.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen caught up with the Fifth Young Master.

At the same time, he slashed toward the Fifth Young Master again.

The Fifth Young Master turned around with difficulty, desperately trying to dodge while summoning a turtle shell inscribed with mystical patterns.

Fourth Tier Demon Beast, Profound Turtle’s Shell!

The Profound Turtle is a demon beast known for its extraordinary defense, with its shell having incredible defensive power.

However, under Lin Chen’s slash, the turtle shell instantly shattered layer by layer.

"Twelve times, Vibrating Blade!"

Seeing the shattered turtle shell, the Fifth Young Master was terrified, fleeing even more desperately.

How could Lin Chen let him go, within a few breaths, he caught up again, slashing at the Fifth Young Master’s Nascent Soul.

With the dissipation of another mirage, the Fifth Young Master appeared hundreds of meters away once more.

At this moment, the Fifth Young Master was close to despair.

His last life-saving card was exhausted.

"Damn it, how... how could this happen!"

"Taking the Changchun Sect should have been a simple task!"

"The Demon Sect unifying the Qing State is the trend of the world!"

"How could this happen..."

At this moment, the Fifth Young Master was nearly hysterical.

His Guangyuan Commerce Association was one of the largest in the Qing State.

Whether in the Three Cities of Wendao or in Wenda City, the Fifth Young Master was a respected genius!

His friends were disciples of major sects, direct lineages of powerful forces.

Countless beautiful female cultivators were his admirers.

His father is the next president of Guangyuan Commerce Association!

After his father passes a hundred years later, he will become the next president, wielding supreme power!

With such a bright future, yet he is still not content.

His father is also not content!

Through information channels, he learned that the Demon Sect is the trend of the world, so he joined early to rise and be used!

In such circumstances, let alone Nascent Soul Peak, even Divinity Transformation would have a chance!

But now?

Now... it seems everything has turned into bubbles and illusions!

"I’m unwilling, I am unwilling!"

"Why... why did such a monster come out of nowhere?"

"Why... why does he want to kill me?"

"Just a little more, just a little more and I could have taken another step forward!"

The Fifth Young Master still wanted to escape, but where was his chance of survival now.

As that Long Blade pierced into his Nascent Soul.

The violent True Essence, the terrifying force, shattered the Nascent Soul of the Fifth Young Master.

In his final moments, the Fifth Young Master seemed to hear something.

"Father, save... save me..."

Lin Chen watched silently at this scene, watching the breath of the Fifth Young Master eventually dissipate.

The Nascent Soul was destroyed, never to enter reincarnation, completely losing the chance of revival!

"Pitiful, under the trend... you and I are nothing but ants..."

Lin Chen said quietly.

He picked up the storage treasures of the Fifth Young Master, including six storage rings and a storage bag.

Just as he was about to explore how many treasures were inside, his Divine Sense suddenly sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching from hundreds of miles away.

Among them, Lin Chen was all too familiar with one aura.

"Blood Pupil Old Devil!"

"No... not just Blood Pupil Old Devil!"

"There are even two Nascent Soul Late Period cultivators..."

Lin Chen instantly lost the mind to explore the storage bag, frantically fleeing towards the direction of Changchun Sect.

"Damn, this old devil still came!"

"Move fast!"

After Lin Chen left, several figures appeared at the Fifth Young Master’s place of death.

Seeing the corpse completely silent.

A middle-aged man’s face was grim enough to drip water.

"Wu, my son..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The middle-aged man’s face was full of grief. He was the son of the president of Guangyuan Commerce Association, the leader of the association’s largest faction, a strong contender for the next president.

Zheng Tianhe!

However, after leading the faction to defect to the Demon Sect, Zheng Tianhe’s status was different.

Seeing Zheng Tianhe’s grief, Blood Pupil Old Devil was silent for a moment, then still comforted:

"Taoist Friend Zheng, take heart..."

"The murderer has not gone far; we can still catch up now!"

Blood Pupil Old Devil sniffed, feeling the familiar battle fluctuations.

He suddenly laughed.

"Xu Shi, hahahaha... After ten years, have you revealed yourself again?" Blood Pupil Old Devil’s dormant heart, revived.

Since his bloodline Ghost Eye’s death, he has been searching for a new body.

Relying on the vast power of the Demon Sect, he found many prodigies.

But none were to his liking, including this Fifth Young Master.

He still remembers that encounter ten years ago.

Xu Shi is the body he has chosen!

There’s nothing more suitable than Xu Shi...

Zheng Tianhe sorrowfully collected the corpse of the Fifth Young Master.

He glanced at Blood Pupil Old Devil, gritting his teeth:

"Blood Pupil, I want to kill that person! I want to tear that person apart!"

Upon hearing this, Blood Pupil Old Devil merely laughed.

Laughing very eerily.

"That can’t be done, I have great use for that person’s flesh..."

"However, you can imprison his Divine Soul, and torture it at will..." Blood Pupil Old Devil said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianhe’s heart jerked, suddenly thinking of something.

He could only nod grimly.

...

Meanwhile.

Hundreds of miles away, Lin Chen was frantically fleeing.

No matter how Lin Chen fled, the ominous premonition did not fade.

"This feeling, damn... have I been locked onto?"

Lin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, understanding why he was locked onto.

Among the treasures acquired from the Fifth Young Master, there must be something that can lock onto position.

"Should I abandon these storage treasures?"

"How is that possible?"

Lin Chen shook his head, not because he’s reckless, but because the resources within these storage treasures are too abundant!

After breaking the Divine Soul restriction, Lin Chen counted the resources within these treasures, valued at least thirty to fifty million Spirit Stones!

Such terrifying wealth nearly compares to the assets of a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation...

Even Lin Chen doesn’t have such wealth and resources on him.

"Damn rich bastard!"

"So many resources, how could I abandon them?"

While fleeing, Lin Chen frantically retrieved resources from the treasures.

Opening the only storage bag, inside were Spirit Stones piled like mountains...

Nearly a million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, all taken by Lin Chen.

Furthermore, Lin Chen found thousands of entirely transparent Spirit Stones.

"Upper Grade Spirit Stones! Just one equals a hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones..." Lin Chen hurriedly packed them.
