Bang—
As the sword clashed once more with his fist, the golden glow surrounding his fist was instantly split apart! It was so close to breaking through all the golden energy completely.
"Damn it…"
His expression turned extremely grim at that moment.
With a flash of movement, he instantly darted to another side.
He now realized that the sword in Lin San's hand was far too sharp, and it seemed capable of cutting through his golden divine energy!
Sweat began to bead on his forehead.
He never expected things to develop to this extent. This guy was simply a monster!
Now that the Cultivation Tower no longer stood on the ground, the strange force preventing everyone from flying had vanished.
So he could now fly away.
But just as he was about to take off, he suddenly noticed that Lin San's figure was already floating in the area ahead, waiting for him.
"You…"
His eyes widened in shock.
His gaze filled with disbelief, as he had never imagined Lin San's speed would be so fast!
Whoosh—
Without any words, Lin San's Ye Fan Sword was already brimming with immense sword energy!
As he slashed down, a torrent of overwhelming sword energy surged forth.
It rushed directly toward the Nine-Star Wu Shen.
"Ahhh!!!"
Seeing the sword energy coming at him with terrifying speed, his expression changed drastically.
He let out a loud roar, and in that instant, energy burst from his body.
Golden energy erupted from within him, forming a massive energy shield.
Bang! Bang! Bang!—
The powerful sword energy slammed into the golden energy shield, one strike after another.
A series of muffled explosions echoed in the air.
"Do you really think your sword energy can break through my defenses?!"
Seeing his golden energy shield withstand the onslaught of sword energy, the Wu Shen sneered coldly.
But at that moment, Lin San flew toward him, wielding the Ye Fan Sword, and slashed directly at the golden energy shield.
The eyes of the Nine-Star Wu Shen widened in disbelief.
Impossible! There was no way this sword could cut through the divine energy shield he had created!
Whoosh—
In an instant, Lin San's sword cleaved through the energy shield, splitting it in two!
The golden energy dispersed into the air.
"No!!!"
The Wu Shen screamed internally, unable to believe what he was seeing.
His mighty golden energy had been cut apart and dissipated.
It felt like a nightmare.
Without giving him a chance to react, Lin San swung his Ye Fan Sword once more.
Whoosh—
In a split second, the sword severed the Wu Shen's head!
Pale golden blood sprayed through the air.
As the Wu Shen's body fell to the ground, a yuan shen (primordial spirit) burst forth from his corpse.
The yuan shen attempted to flee.
"You won't escape."
Seeing this, Lin San spoke calmly.
With a thought, he darted forward, appearing before the yuan shen in an instant.
"Spare me!!!"
The yuan shen wailed in desperation, sensing its impending doom.
But Lin San ignored its plea.
With a swift strike of his Ye Fan Sword, the yuan shen was split in two.
At that moment, a surge of blood essence and energy flowed into the Ye Fan Sword.
[Killed Nine-Star Wu Shen, gained 900,000,000 evolution points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Wu Shen's blood essence, gained 9,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Wu Shen's blood essence, gained 9,000 energy points]
[Absorbed Nine-Star Wu Shen's blood essence, gained 9,000 energy points]
…
A tremendous amount of concentrated energy flowed from the Ye Fan Sword into Lin San's body.
Phew—
Lin San took a deep breath.
The energy absorbed after killing the Nine-Star Wu Shen was overwhelmingly dense.
He could feel his entire body being flooded with immense power.
And the energy was still surging continuously from the sword into his body.
It felt as though the sheer volume of energy would cause him to burst.
With a thought, Lin San activated his cultivation technique, frantically digesting the energy coursing through his body.
Time passed unknowingly, and as Lin San exhaled a long breath, he opened his eyes.
The powerful energy that had filled his body had now been fully absorbed.
Glancing around, Lin San noticed that there were no longer any Wu Shen in sight.
"I should head that way."
After surveying his surroundings, Lin San spotted a passageway in the distance, where many Wu Shen had already gone through.
Without hesitation, Lin San flew in that direction.
By the time he arrived, all the Wu Shen had already passed through the passage.
It was a glowing white exit.
"Where does this lead?"
Lin San paused for a moment, staring at the entrance filled with blinding white light.
There was no way to know where it would take him.
After a brief hesitation, Lin San stepped forward and entered.
The moment he walked through, he felt as if he was stepping into empty space.
His body began to plummet.
No!
Lin San's expression changed drastically. He tried to use his power to stabilize his body, but he soon realized that he had lost control.
He continued to fall.
Before long, his vision blurred, and he found himself falling from the sky!
What is this…!?
Realizing what had happened, Lin San quickly adjusted himself mid-air, stabilizing his body as he gently descended to the ground.
As he surveyed the area, he noticed that a large number of Wu Shen had already gathered.
It seemed… he had made it out!
