Cultivation: Being Immortal

Qing State, the hiding place of the four major families

Lin Batian took the ancestral spear of the Lin family and his strength instantly skyrocketed. He was already overpowering Zhou Huaiying, but now Zhou Huaiying was even more miserable.

"Death"

After hundreds of rounds of fighting, Zhou Huaiying couldn’t hold on anymore. He was stabbed in the stomach by Lin Batian with a spear. Lin Batian’ powerful force burst through, causing Zhou Huaiying’s body to explode instantly.

However, instead of experiencing the phenomenon of annihilation, Zhou Huaiying’s body transformed into countless drops of blood, flying towards the exit of the hiding place.

"the Art of Blood Escape"

"Blood Demon Manual"

Lin Batian was shocked. The Blood Demon Ancestor who escaped from North State and caused trouble in You State for many years, didn’t he die in the Wilderness of Liang State? How could Zhou Huaiying possess such dark magic as the Blood Demon Manual?

"Yang Luo, I have repaid the favor. Farewell."

The Tao Achieving practitioners of Danxia Sect and Pure Jade Sect were greatly alarmed. The three powerful Tao Achieving experts besieged Lin Batian. Even though they barely exerted themselves, Lin Batian still managed to kill one of them. His combat strength was terrifying.

They didn’t want to fight for Yang Luo, especially after they found out Zhou Huaiying’s secret. So they didn’t want to stay anymore and chose to run away immediately.

Lin Batian, of course, wouldn’t chase after them. It’s a good thing that they want to run away. If they were pushed to the limit and if there was some kind of self-destructive method, that would be a bad thing.

"They are all useless."

Yang Luo cursed loudly. The others really couldn’t be relied on, she had to rely on herself.

Lin Batian didn’t chase after the two Tao Achieving disciples, but instead attacked Yang Luo. At this point, the Shenmu Ancestor had already been reduced to a tree trunk. Without help, the Shenmu Ancestor’s substitute would be gone.

"Yang Luo, it’s your turn now. Show me what you’ve got."

"They say Lin Batian is invincible at the same level. I don’t believe it. Today is the perfect opportunity for us to fight."

Yang Luo nodded and abandoned the battle with the Shenmu Ancestor, facing Lin Batian instead.

The entire cultivation world has been spreading the fame of Lin Batian being invincible at the same level. He has built this reputation through his battle achievements over more than a thousand years. But Yang Luo doesn’t believe it and has never had the chance to test her skills against him. Now she has the opportunity.

"You young folks can continue, I’m an old person and need some rest. Oh, getting old, getting old, can’t move anymore."

Shenmu Ancestor had an exhausted expression, but his roots were still connected to the ground, deeply embedded into the hidden veins. Countless spiritual energy was forcibly absorbed, and the scattered branches were quickly recovering.

"Attack."

Lin Batian knew that all his various tricks wouldn’t work against Yang Luo. Her divine eyes were extraordinary in the cultivation world, so he decided to conserve some spiritual power and relied on the Qi of the Three Purity and his own Six-Armed Slaying God Spear.

Three versions of Lin Batian with six arms each attacked Yang Luo, with the main focus on the Lin Batian holding the ancestral spear of the Lin family. They split into three paths, while Yang Luo only held a sword without displaying any special secret techniques.

However, Yang Luo used her sword to its fullest potential, flying between the three Lin Batian like a shooting star. She not only defended but also counter-attacked, causing Lin Batian to feel overwhelmed and flustered.

Masters can discern each other’s true abilities from the first move, and Lin Batian was extremely surprised by Yang Luo’s strength. Her seemingly casual move had immense power, forcing him to go all out to defend. Lin Batian had never encountered such an opponent before.

"Retreat."

Lin Batian retracted the Qi of the Three Purity technique, leaving only one version with six arms. These techniques required the consumption of spiritual power and divine consciousness, so it was better to focus on just one.

"Little Lin, that’s right. Even the Green Emperor didn’t create so many people. With the Slaying God Spear in hand, he was enough to dominate the world."

Shenmu Ancestor watched on the side and didn’t forget to give some guidance. Although he didn’t know the secret techniques of the Four Great Families, he’s an old man with lots of experience.

Lin Batian focused his energy on dealing with Yang Luo, making her feel a little pressure. But Yang Luo wasn’t worried at all. It’s not even close.

"Sky Eye, open."

Yang Luo seized the opportunity, and the vertical eye on her forehead suddenly opened. A golden light shot out. Lin Batian summoned a shield, but it instantly exploded, even blowing off his hand.

"Be careful, Little Lin. Her eye can’t only see things but also use illusions."

Shenmu Ancestor said leisurely, which caused Yang Luo to give him a fierce glare.

Lin Batian felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He transformed another arm and put away the shield, taking out a flying sword to join the attack.

"Go."

Yang Luo came up with a new plan, this time she scattered countless magical charms in the air, creating a spell that trapped Lin Batian.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, Yang Luo ignited the array of charms, causing a terrifying explosion that caused the ground within a radius of hundreds of miles to collapse.

"Daddy!"

Lin Ying, who was fighting in the distance, exclaimed in shock. Lin Jiang also abandoned his intended target and shot an arrow at Yang Luo, but with a single gentle sword swing, Yang Luo shattered the arrow fifty times over.

"Slay!"

Amidst the smoke of gunpowder, Lin Batian’ voice could be heard. Then, a huge spear thrust forth towards Yang Luo. Yang Luo swung her sword, but was unable to block the spear, only until her defensive magical artifact shattered did the power of the spear diminish.

Lin Batian emerged from the smoke, covered in tattered clothing and bloodied, but his momentum grew even more fierce. He retracted his long spear and once again lunged towards Yang Luo.

"Truly, Lin Batian is remarkable."

Yang Luo sighed, realizing that Tao Achieving, even if not killed, would be severely injured and powerless to resist. But Lin Batian continued to fight with even more courage, truly deserving his unbeatable reputation.

This time, Lin Batian put away his three heads and six arms, leaving only a long spear. In this battle, he was ready to risk everything and show unwavering courage.

The essence of the Slaying God Spear was not flashy secret techniques, but rather a few simple moves. It was about returning to basics, just like Yang Luo’s swordsmanship.

The two of them fought like ordinary mortal warriors, with Yang Luo using a sword and Lin Batian wielding a spear. However, each of their clashes created terrifying shockwaves. The surrounding mountains had already suffered, cracking inch by inch. Even Void Achieving dared not approach within a five hundred mile radius, keeping their distance for fear of being caught in the crossfire.

After more than a hundred exchanges, Lin Batian gradually found himself at a disadvantage. This was because he had already fought for too long, exhausting his strength to the point where his medicinal power could no longer keep up.

However, it was precisely because of this that Lin Batian became more determined to get close to Yang Luo and find her weak point in order to deliver a fatal blow. As a result, he began to reveal many vulnerabilities.

Yang Luo didn’t take the bait. She knew that these vulnerabilities wouldn’t be enough to end the fight with a single strike, so she remained unfazed. She kept evading and occasionally unleashed her Sky Eye secret technique, inflicting significant damage on Lin Batian.

"Activate talisman array!"

Yang Luo glanced at other battlefields, realizing that Tao Achieving from the Holy Heavenly Sect was also being suppressed. She felt the need to save some energy to deal with Lu Family Ancestor, so she immediately took out six sets of talisman arrays and activated them at the same time.

These special symbols are not the ones she just used, but the ones publicly announced. They are all seventh-level special symbols, each set equivalent to a powerful attack at the peak of Tao Achieving.

"Boom"

"Boom"

The special symbols exploded wildly, causing even the Shenmu Ancestor to retreat. He quickly retracted his countless roots and hurriedly flew away. If he didn’t fly away, even his trunk would be burned into firewood.

But under this terrifying bombardment, Lin Batian directly disappeared. He used the Spatiotemporal Mirror and dodged this attack.

"I found you!"

The Spatiotemporal Mirror worked perfectly against others, but against Yang Luo, it was completely restrained. Yang Luo’s Sky Eye quickly found Lin Batian’s hiding place.

Then, Yang Luo reached out her hand and softly uttered, "Five Elements Divine Thunder." With the surge of spiritual power, a terrifying five-colored divine thunder appeared around Lin Batian.

"Boom"

Lin Batian was blown away, completely blackened and paralyzed.

Yang Luo mercilessly swung her sword, intending to end Lin Batian’ life. But just then, a tree root appeared beside Lin Batian and quickly pulled him away, causing Yang Luo to miss.

"After this battle, Shenmu Sect, I, Yang Luo, will be the first to destroy you, Shenmu Ancestor. I will keep my word."

Yang Luo was about to explode with anger. She had never used her thunder magic before, it was one of her secret weapons. By using it suddenly, she could catch Lin Batian off guard. But if she used it again, it wouldn’t have the same effect.

"Little Lin, listen carefully. To save you, I have angered a powerful enemy. If you don’t kill her, I will kill you first."

Shenmu Ancestor said to Lin Batian as he extended his arm towards Lin Batian’ mouth. Lin Batian hesitated for a moment, then took a bite. Shenmu Ancestor winced in pain.

Inside Shenmu Ancestor’s clone, there was Eternal Spirit Liquid. This time, Shenmu Ancestor contributed 90% of his Eternal Spirit Liquid to Lin Batian. It was more powerful than any medicine. Lin Batian’ injuries began to heal rapidly.

"Retreat."

Lin Batian glanced at the approaching Yang Luo and sent a message to Lu Family Ancestor. He couldn’t hold on any longer, his battle had lasted too long. The backlash from the blood secret technique had come, and even Shenmu Ancestor’s Eternal Spirit Liquid couldn’t help. If he continued fighting, he would die. He had to use his secret weapon.
