Chapter 416: Chapter 128: Man Proposes, Heaven Disposes—Lin Chen Makes His Move!

At this moment, on the battlefield of the Changchun Sect.

The scene was a complete mess as far as the eye could see.

The bodies of the demon cultivators littered the ground, trees had fallen, and rocks had collapsed...

All three hundred cultivators of the Changchun Sect perished in battle.

Even True Man Changchun fell here.

The once ten-thousand-meter-high Changchun Mountain was now broken and severed.

Within a hundred miles, all living things were plunged into misery and suffering...

True Man Wenshu’s flesh was utterly destroyed, but a golden light emerged from within his body.

The light transformed into a young form of True Man Wenshu, this was his Nascent Soul.

"Am I dead?"

"Why am I the one who died..."

True Man Wenshu’s Nascent Soul trembled violently; he escaped catastrophe by relying on the second life of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But... with his flesh destroyed, the loss to his path of cultivation was irreparable.

Moreover, if he couldn’t find a suitable body to possess, this Nascent Soul would soon dissipate...

At that time, a Nascent Soul True Man would truly be dead!

True Man Wenshu, unwillingly, hurried to the front of Blood Pupil and Zheng Tianhe.

"Blood Pupil, save me... I died for you!" True Man Wenshu pleaded, unwilling to accept his fate.

Blood Pupil, at this moment, also appeared fatigued, taking out Spirit Realm Jade Dew and consuming it along with several pills for healing.

After his aura improved significantly, he cast a glance at True Man Wenshu.

"Taoist Friend Wenshu... you will not die."

Blood Pupil said indifferently, which comforted True Man Wenshu considerably.

"Your body is newly destroyed; you must quickly find a suitable body to possess... ideally someone who died today and whose body is well-preserved..."

Saying this, Blood Pupil’s gaze turned towards Zheng Tianhe.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianhe’s mouth twitched.

It just so happened that his son had died today, and he was also a Nascent Soul cultivator.

What was more coincidental was that the Fifth Young Master died with only his Nascent Soul Divine Soul gone, but his body was intact.

"Celestial Harmony Taoist Friend, I was wrong before..."

"Please save me; the academy will reward you generously in the future!"

True Man Wenshu begged.

Previously, the two had competed openly and furtively, each with their own agenda.

But now, the situation was different.

True Man Wenshu was left with only his Nascent Soul to cling to life.

If he didn’t possess a body quickly, even if he found one later, irreparable damage would surely result.

Now, the sooner the possession, the better!

Zheng Tianhe looked coldly at True Man Wenshu, his face showing displeasure.

"True Man Wenshu, the one who died was my own son!"

"He was my own flesh and blood! I intended to give him a grand burial!"

"So, Taoist Friend is unwilling?" True Man Wenshu asked urgently.

Zheng Tianhe paused, then shifted his tone and said,

"It’s not impossible, but..."

"It will cost more!"

Saying this, Zheng Tianhe looked towards the Tiandan in front of him, which was radiating a golden glow and exuding a fragrant scent.

This was a Tiandan, consuming it could greatly increase one’s cultivation and even gain insight into the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Once one broke through to Divinity Transformation, their lifespan would be three thousand years, ascending to the Spirit Realm...

At that time, what use would a son be?

Zheng Tianhe thought indifferently.

Conveniently, Blood Pupil had no need for the Tiandan.

The pill was originally contested between him and True Man Wenshu.

True Man Wenshu, now barely managing to preserve himself, no longer had any thoughts of vying for the Tiandan.

So he hurriedly said,

"Fine, the Tiandan will go to Taoist Friend... but your flesh and blood..."

"Oh no, your son’s body..."

True Man Wenshu’s heart was filled with longing.

Zheng Tianhe raised an eyebrow, secretly pleased.

But he still feigned displeasure, sighing as he said,

"Sigh, since it is such... let it be for Taoist Friend’s sake!"

Saying this, Zheng Tianhe brought forth the body of the Fifth Young Master.

True Man Wenshu couldn’t wait, hastily attempting to enter the body of the Fifth Young Master.

Zheng Tianhe looked at the reborn True Man Wenshu, feeling something strange in his heart.

How should he address True Man Wenshu in the future?

From a bloodline perspective, this was his own son.

But from a soul’s perspective, it was not...

It seemed like a significant ethical dilemma in the Cultivation Realm.

However, Zheng Tianhe could not think so far ahead at this moment.

He greedily reached out his hand toward the Tiandan in front of him.

Yet...

At the very moment he was about to grasp the Tiandan.

The Tiandan suddenly redirected itself and flew into the distance, landing in the hands of a silhouette.

"Who?"

Zheng Tianhe’s eyes widened as he looked towards the distant figure.

It was Lin Chen.

Lin Chen stored the Tiandan into his Storage Magical Artifact, smiling as he said,

"Thank you, Taoist Friend, I will gladly accept this Tiandan..."

Zheng Tianhe’s face darkened as he questioned,

"Who are you?"

Lin Chen smiled without answering.

He looked at the three Nascent Soul True Men before him.

One had just recently possessed a body, their cultivation inferior even to Golden Core Perfection.

One’s magical treasures had all been destroyed, their True Essence less than ten percent, probably not even at Half-Step Nascent Soul...

And then there was the severely wounded Blood Pupil.

Looking up at the sky, the divine observation from the Spirit Realm was almost imperceptible.

Now was the best time to strike!

Because, if one wanted to eliminate Blood Pupil, the greatest enemy was not those in front but the ones above.

If a cultivator from the Spirit Realm wished to protect Blood Pupil and was constantly observing.

Even within the Heaven and Earth Seven Killings Array, even if Lin Chen made a move, he couldn’t eliminate Blood Pupil.

But with the heavenly observation gone, what was a severely injured Blood Pupil to fear?

"Who am I? Ha... the one who will take your life!"

As Lin Chen made his move, he revealed his Nascent Soul cultivation.

At the same time, the flesh body of the High Level Martial King was fully revealed.

But his target was not Wenshu and Zheng Tianhe, but Blood Pupil Old Demon!

Lin Chen’s heart surged, the Demon-slaying Blade appeared in his hand.

Compared to ten years ago, during his first battle with Blood Pupil Old Demon, the Demon-slaying Blade now looked vastly different.

Moreover, Lin Chen’s power had become incomparably stronger.

As soon as Lin Chen attacked, he showed no mercy.

"Vibrating Blade!"

This blade, unerringly, slashed directly toward Blood Pupil Old Demon’s chest.

Blood Pupil Old Demon was shocked in his heart and hastily raised his Protective True Essence.

Yet his current state was utterly weak, even though he managed to raise the Protective True Essence, it was shattered in an instant.

Blood stained Blood Pupil Old Demon’s clothes; with just one strike, Blood Pupil Old Demon was severely injured.

Blood Pupil Old Demon was extremely terrified, shouting:

"Tianhe, Wenshu... both of you, act quickly and stop this person!"

True Man Wenshu and Celestial Harmony Taoist Friend immediately rushed toward Lin Chen.

But Lin Chen didn’t even blink and again swung the Demon-slaying Blade at True Man Wenshu.

True Man Wenshu hastily raised his Protective True Essence but was unable to resist.

The Protective True Essence shattered instantly, and along with the flesh body of Fifth Young Master, Lin Chen cut him down at the waist.

In just one face-off, he slew the flesh body after True Man Wenshu had just taken possession!

In a short time, losing his flesh body twice in succession, this greatly damaged True Man Wenshu’s Nascent Soul Divine Soul.

"Blood Pupil Taoist Friend, you have to deal with it yourself... Pinda will slip away first..."

True Man Wenshu didn’t hesitate, his Nascent Soul fled to the distance.

But Lin Chen would not let him escape easily.

Since he decided to make a move, he had no intention of leaving any survivors.

Only to see Lin Chen’s feet generate wind, employing the Cloud Soaring Technique, transforming into green leaves and dissipating at the original place.

Gathering Qi and Dispersing Form!

When Lin Chen’s figure re-consolidated, it had already appeared before True Man Wenshu’s Nascent Soul.

Right after, Lin Chen raised his hand and the knife fell.

"Taoist Friend, spare me..."

True Man Wenshu hadn’t finished his plea before Lin Chen shattered his Nascent Soul with a single blade.

The golden Nascent Soul Divine Soul scattered into pieces and disappeared into the heavens and earth.

One generation of Nascent Soul True Man, Vice Dean of Wenlu Academy, met his demise!

After slaying True Man Wenshu, Lin Chen chased after Zheng Tianhe and Blood Pupil Old Demon.

At this moment, the two had long fled in different directions.

But after experiencing a big battle, how could the heavily wounded Blood Pupil Old Demon and Zheng Tianhe possibly fly faster than Lin Chen?

Soon, Lin Chen caught up with the two.

Blood Pupil Old Demon frowned slightly, looking toward Lin Chen.

"You are Lin Chen, a fourth-generation disciple of Changchun Sect?"

"So young, and already stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage..."

"With such high talent, why not join my Nether Realm?"

Blood Pupil Old Demon sensed Lin Chen’s cultivation, it was Nascent Soul Initial Stage.

But the strength of the flesh body was also very strong, seemingly a Body Refining Nascent Soul...

His words were filled with temptation:

"Lin Chen, as long as you’re willing to join the Nether Realm, I will appoint you as the Crown Prince of the Nether Realm."

"You and I would share the fortune of the Nether Realm, and then glimpse the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

Lin Chen listened and could not help but reveal a strange expression in his heart.

This Blood Pupil Old Demon actually wanted him to be his son...

"No!" Lin Chen was alert in his heart.

Although this Blood Pupil Old Demon was disguising well, he still saw a hint of greed in his eyes.

That particular look... he wanted to seize Lin Chen’s body!

A fleeting smile flashed in Lin Chen’s eyes as he coldly snorted:

"I am irreconcilable with the Demon Sect! You killed over a hundred people from my Changchun Sect; today, I will avenge the ancestors, the sect leader, and the fellow disciples!"

Blood Pupil Old Demon continued to tempt Lin Chen, secretly restoring his True Essence.

But Lin Chen did not give him a chance to delay, directly wielding the long blade toward Blood Pupil Old Demon.

Blood Pupil Old Demon hastily summoned Netherworld Ghost Qi to dodge, then called out to Zheng Tianhe:

"Celestial Harmony Taoist Friend... Don’t you want that Tiandan?"

"If we join forces, we could definitely capture this youngster!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianhe was quite moved.

He still had several Life-Saving Treasures, and the person in front of him was only Nascent Soul Initial Stage.

As long as he held out for a moment and let Blood Pupil Old Demon restore his Vitality, they could definitely slay him!

Thinking of this, Zheng Tianhe was quite intent:

"Okay, Blood Pupil! Then I’ll trust you one more time... afterward, I want that Tiandan!"

Even knowing there was a risk, the allure of the Tiandan made Zheng Tianhe lose his judgment.

He took out a Top Grade Treasure Artifact long sword and slashed at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, however, did not even glance at him, directly slashing toward Zheng Tianhe.

With one stroke, Zheng Tianhe’s Top Grade Treasure Artifact broke.

With another stroke, Zheng Tianhe lost a Life-Saving Treasure.

In just a brief exchange, he almost died once.

This immediately made Zheng Tianhe calm down, the Tiandan was good, but one needs to be alive to use it!

The death of True Man Tiandan was still vivid in his mind; he did not want to end up the same.

Thinking of this, Zheng Tianhe already had the desire to retreat.

Only to see him feign a move, throwing several Magical Artifacts like Five Thunders toward Lin Chen.

Then, in the blink of an eye, he fled a thousand zhang away, trying to escape to the distance.

In the air, the voice of True Man Tiandan could still be heard.

"Blood Pupil, let’s split up and run. When the Demon Cultivator army arrives, this youngster will certainly die with no burial place!"

Upon hearing these words, Blood Pupil Old Demon’s face turned a shade of green and red.

He knew this Celestial Harmony Zhenren was unreliable, and now he could only rely on himself.

However, Blood Pupil Old Demon was not too panicked; although he couldn’t summon the Nascent Soul True Self at this moment.

But over the past dozens of breaths, his cultivation True Essence had restored considerably.

"Youngster, if you hadn’t gone after True Man Wenshu previously and kept chasing this lord..."

"When this lord’s cultivation hadn’t restored, I truly might not have been a match for you..."

Blood Pupil Old Demon’s eyes flashed with greed.

"But now, it’s too late!"

With that said, Blood Pupil Old Demon wielded the Netherworld Ghost Qi, sweeping toward Lin Chen.

Lin Chen raised his Protective True Essence, but quickly his expression changed dramatically.

"You old demon... how did you recover so fast?"

Blood Pupil Old Demon smiled smugly; the recovery power of Spirit Realm Jade Dew was no exaggeration.

"Heh, even though only three-tenths of my power is restored... it’s enough to kill you!"

"Your flesh body, this lord will claim it!"
