Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 83: Demonic Hell Palace, Lin Dong’s Sense of Urgency

"Young Patriarch, what exactly is that thing?"

After hesitating for a while, Lin Dong finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked. Xiao Diao, who could no longer suppress his curiosity, stared at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the rock and slowly absorbing the energy of the ancestral stone, looked up at Lin Dong without hiding anything. He looked up at the ancestral stone above his head and spoke softly.

"Do you know what this is?"

"Hey, this, didn't the big devil say before that it was called Zushi?"

The little mink chuckled, and looked around at the mysterious stone rune, which looked like an ordinary stone except for the extra runes. There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

From the tone of the evil demon just now, it can be heard that this mysterious stone talisman called "Ancestral Stone" is definitely an incredible treasure, but no matter how Lin Dong looks at it, he doesn't think that this thing seems to be particularly strong. At least, he feels that the Sky Scale Ancient Halberd in his hand is a bit stronger than this mysterious stone talisman.

If the Sky Scale Ancient Halberd had a spirit, and knew that Lin Dong was praising it so much, it would probably look up to the sky when it looked at those earth-level and heaven-level spiritual treasures in the future.

"To be precise, it is the second most powerful divine object in the world, the Ancestral Stone, and the most powerful divine object refined by Fu Zu in the past. Looking at the world, there are not many divine objects that can be compared with it."

Lin Xuan explained softly that as the controller of the Ancestral Stone and the heir of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman chosen by Hei Tong, Lin Dong was destined to have to deal with the alien demons.

"Your purpose of coming to the Great Wilderness Ancient Monument this time should be to find the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, right?"

Although he was asking, Lin Dong could feel that Lin Xuan was very sure of his purpose. However, there was no need to hide this matter now. After all, if Lin Xuan really wanted it, the senior would not have passed on the method to crack the Devouring Ancestral Talisman to him.

Moreover, Lin Dong could sense that if Lin Xuan wanted, Zushi might be willing to follow Lin Xuan.

At least, after having the Ancestral Stone for so long, Lin Dong had never seen the Ancestral Stone be so proactive towards him. It had to be said that Lin Dong was sometimes quite envious.

But even though he was envious, Lin Dong felt that Lin Xuan was indeed qualified. If he were Lin Xuan, he might not risk his own life to stop this peerless evil demon and let a group of irrelevant people escape. He would not have the courage to use his own body to suppress the demon.

"To be honest with you, Young Clan Leader, I once got a map of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman. So, after returning from the Ancient Tomb Mansion, I set out to the Great Wilderness County to look for the whereabouts of the Ancestral Talisman."

"Do you know that the original purpose of the ancestral stone was to be refined by the Talisman Ancestor in order to balance the power of the eight ancestral talismans?"

Lin Xuan chuckled, raised his head and looked up. He was still diligently refining the Demon Emperor Armor and replenishing his vitality with the ancestral stone, and continued.

"The purifying power of the ancestral stone is also the nemesis of these alien demons!"

"Strange demon?"

Lin Dong and Xiao Diao couldn't help but exclaim when they heard this. They had never heard of this special term before.

"Yes, the alien demons and others are not something you can contact now. You just need to know that they are the absolute mortal enemies of our Tianxuan Continent!"

As Lin Xuan spoke, he turned his head to look at the mysterious skeleton standing there motionless, and said with a sigh.

"This ancient Great Wilderness Sect was destroyed by the alien demons. Hei Tong burned his life to death in order to suppress the alien demon king's palace. This skeleton is the body of Hei Tong's eldest disciple. After his death, he was infected by the demonic energy and became what he is now. In fact, he can be considered as your senior brother."

Thinking of the old friend whom he had just met after countless years, Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile. He has always been a man not good at speaking, but he will do his best to do what he has said!
Yes, old friend, although we have only met once, and even though it was an meeting after who knows how many years, some people can appreciate each other after just one meeting.

He said that he regretted not being able to live together, not being able to meet each other earlier, not being able to raise a glass to drink together, so he just pretended that they had known each other for a long time, and that they had already had a drink together...

Life is short, like a flash of light, but life is long and endless, just like the long river of time, flowing endlessly.

Looking up at the ancient sky, time seemed to have spanned thousands of years. There, there seemed to be an old man with white hair and black robe, standing there quietly.

Lin Dong, who was standing aside, felt a sense of tragedy and grandeur suddenly surge into his heart as he listened to Lin Xuan's simple narration, and he even held his breath.

Burning life, just to suppress the devil! Fighting to the death with the whole clan, swearing to never surrender!
At this moment, Lin Dong suddenly remembered what the black-eyed old man had said before: The ancestral talisman has the power to protect the heaven and earth. While gaining power, it also comes with a responsibility that needs to be undertaken - to eliminate demons!
The little mink who had been standing on Lin Dong's shoulder and had been motionless, suddenly emitted a violent aura. Lin Dong turned his head and saw that the little mink who had always been laughing and joking now had a cold and murderous look on his face.

"The ones who attacked Master Diao back then must have been these damned demon cubs!"

Xiao Diao, who had finally found the murderer, had completely forgotten where he was and was cursing with gritted teeth. Hearing this, Lin Dong subconsciously frowned and clenched his hands. A sense of urgency made Lin Dong's heart almost jump out.

Although Xiao Diao was usually laughing and joking, Lin Dong knew very well that when Xiao Diao was alive, he was a top-notch expert in the Death Profound Realm. However, even with such a powerful strength, he was still killed and even his demon spirit almost didn't escape.

“So, before you surpass me in strength, don’t reveal the existence of the Ancestral Stone and the Devouring Ancestral Talisman.”

Lin Xuan said softly, the ancestral stone is indeed a divine object, it can purify the demonic energy in the Demon King Armor, thus transforming it into a usable force. Fortunately, the Nine Kings Palace has a Demon King Armor, otherwise, Lin Xuan's lack of vitality would be impossible to replenish.

The alien demons were born with extremely strong vitality, and although this Demon King Armor was not an alien demon, it also contained extremely strong vitality.

Of course, if it weren't for the Demon King Armor, Lin Xuan wouldn't have to burn his vitality. This turtle shell was too hard and he definitely couldn't cut it. If Lin Xuan didn't have some experience in swordsmanship, he probably wouldn't even be able to hurt the Nine Kings Palace.

Lin Xuan's voice woke Xiao Diao up. After looking at Lin Xuan, he subconsciously showed a dry smile on his face. Then, he remembered something and his expression became strange.

"Well, Master Sword Saint, forgive my limited knowledge, but what is the origin of that alien demon down there? Why does it feel like it's not simple?"

"During its heyday, the Demon Prison Nine Kings Palace should have survived two reincarnation disasters. If it weren't for the fact that Hei Tong severely injured it before and suppressed it with the Devouring Ancestral Talisman for countless years, it would be considered lucky for Lin Xuan. Otherwise, if this demon escaped today, not to mention the Great Yan Dynasty, even the entire Dongxuan Region might be in ruins."

Hearing Lin Xuan's answer, Xiao Diao's mouth twitched. Brother, you killed the clone of a powerful reincarnation realm master who had survived the reincarnation calamity, and you killed him at a higher level. Do you call this luck?
The most crucial thing is that Lin Xuan was not fighting one against one, destroying the clone at the peak of Nirvana in the Nine Kings Palace, but he was fighting one against two, with the mysterious skeleton also at the peak of Nirvana next to him. Although Lin Xuan almost lost his life, such a record can no longer be described as horrifying!
You know, the strength of that mysterious skeleton when he was alive was not much less than Xiao Diao, but it was not far behind. His body was extremely strong, and it was strengthened under the erosion of the strange demonic energy. With that kind of strength, even a strong person in the Shengxuan realm might not be able to break the defense.

Although the mysterious skeleton's control over power has become very dull due to the loss of its intelligence, its strength is still terrifying. Not to mention, it is also controlled by the Nine Kings Palace to deal with Lin Xuan.

In the end, what about this guy? Just look at the sword marks on the skeleton and you will know that this guy is so fierce. Is this really the strength that a strong man in the Nirvana realm can achieve?

Although it was because Lin Xuan burned his life that his power was forcibly improved, ordinary people could not improve that much. In fact, most of the strong people could not comprehend this method of burning their lives at all.

What made Xiao Diao almost unable to hold back was the serious tone of Lin Xuan's word "luckily". No, brother, you don't really think that you were able to destroy the clone of a powerful warrior in the Reincarnation Realm because the other party's strength had not recovered and you did it by luck, right?
If Master Diao had such "luck", he wouldn't have been ambushed and killed by a guy who was not even at the Wheel-Turning Realm.

Lin Dong, who was standing aside, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard this. The Samsara Realm, or the Samsara Realm after having gone through the Samsara Tribulation. The current Lin Dong is no longer the inexperienced country boy who knew nothing. Although he does not have much experience now, he still understands some things.

Such a powerful being is actually only in the Nine Kings Palace. Doesn’t that mean that there are even more powerful demons above them?
More importantly, those strong men and he should be mortal enemies, unless Lin Dong is willing to give up his mysterious stone talisman, no, it should be said that the ancestral stone, but how could Lin Dong give up such a divine object? Moreover, if he wants to give up, it is not just the ancestral stone, but also the swallowing ancestral talisman.

But in order to find the ancestral talisman, Lin Dong went through untold hardships, experienced life and death, and came to where he is today step by step. Although he no longer needs the power of the ancestral talisman to defeat Lin Langtian, how can he be willing to just give up?

Could it be that, just because of a so-called threat from the Demon Prison, he would give up his efforts for nothing? Why?
Yes, why? What are the alien demons? Back then, Master Fu Zu was able to suppress them, and the young clan leader was able to suppress them. How could I, Lin Dong, who holds the ancestral stone, retreat?
At this moment, the stubbornness and tenacity in Lin Dong's body that refused to admit defeat were also aroused by the threat released by the Nine Kings Palace!

He will never give up the ancestral stone, and he must get the ancestral talisman!
Since you don't give up, you must face the pursuit from the Demon Prison!

Hunting? Then become stronger, work hard to become as strong as the young patriarch, or even stronger, and suppress all those demons!

The strange demon that might appear at any time was like a sword hanging over his head, making Lin Dong's desire to become stronger even stronger.

Lin Xuan looked at Lin Dong, whose expression became more and more determined, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. Only in this way could he be qualified to inherit Hei Tong's Devouring Ancestral Talisman.

"Buzz!!"

At this moment, the ancestral stone began to tremble again, and the vitality in Lin Xuan's body had recovered to its peak state, and even surpassed it.

However, even if the vitality was restored, the white hair could not return to its original appearance. Moreover, although the vitality was restored, the previous extreme sublimation and the injuries on the soul left by the Nine Kings Palace would still take some time to heal.

After the ancestral stone disconnected the life energy, it did not immediately fly back to Lin Dong's body, but came to the top of the mysterious skeleton. A pure purifying force fell on the mysterious skeleton that was completely black, causing the mysterious skeleton to transform into gray in the blink of an eye.

As the evil spirit receded from the body, the eyes of the mysterious skeleton became more spirited, but they seemed a little dull. It was obvious that it had completely lost its intelligence, and only had some indelible obsession left.

After doing all this, the ancestral stone returned to Lin Dong's body. Lin Dong could clearly feel that there was still a huge amount of energy hidden in the ancestral stone. However, he was unable to mobilize any of it, as if the ancestral stone had swallowed it all. This made Lin Dong, who had originally wanted to use it to cultivate the Great Sun Thunder Body, quite disappointed.

After the evil spirit in the mysterious skeleton was dispelled, it did not launch another attack. It was not known whether the ancestral stone had played a role, but it felt that Lin Xuan and the others were not invaders.

The pair of empty eyes first fell on Lin Dong, and then stared at Lin Xuan. After a long while, he bowed deeply to Lin Xuan, then turned around stiffly and strode towards the ancient stone tablet. A hoarse voice echoed in the empty and ruined earth.

"Protect... the sect! Disciples, we will definitely... protect..."

The hoarse and hollow voice made Lin Dong feel solemn. After hesitating for a moment, he bowed to the mysterious skeleton. Just as Lin Xuan had said before, he inherited the Devouring Ancestral Talisman of the Black-eyed Old Man, so they could be considered as a master and disciple. So this mysterious skeleton could be considered as his senior brother.

"The cohesion of this ancient sect is amazing!"

Xiao Diao exclaimed in amazement. Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze from the mysterious skeleton, turned his head to look at the young mouse, and explained softly.

"The alien demons are the mortal enemy of heaven and earth. This is not only true for the Great Desolate Sect. Even the Six-fingered Holy Dragon Emperor of the Demon Realm fought against several alien demon palaces and was eventually seriously injured and passed away. You will know some things in the future."

Lin Dong couldn’t help but clench his fists upon hearing this. He understood that, in the final analysis, his current strength was too weak.
