Immortal Road.

Chapter 677: A Showdown of Divine Powers, Old Tricks Reapplied
Lin Shan was stunned.

Xing Ling Jin? I seem to have some impression of him. The former chief steward of Yuxing Zhenjun who escaped from the Yuxing Secret Realm after being suppressed for many years?

But the question is, how is it related to it!

Purple light flashed in Zi Chenggan's eyes, he pinched his fingers and made hand gestures, talking about everything like the back of his hand.

"Your race is originally a star spirit, so you must have the ability of astrology in your innate talent, so it's not surprising that you can see through my concealment!"

"You were once at the Nascent Soul stage, so it makes sense for you to have the Nascent Soul stage mental method!"

"Plus, you possessed the body of Little White Dragon, the young master of the Dragon Horse Demon Clan, and Little White Dragon happened to have entered the Yuxing Secret Vault at the same time as Young Master Jiuyou, and also obtained a Star Palace!"

"With these conditions added together, even if you use messy and half-baked magic methods to cover up, you can't hide your identity!"

As he spoke, Zi Chengqian pressed forward step by step, revealing a strong desire to fight, and even some rare excitement.

"Show me your true ability, let me see if I can defeat a Nascent Soul Stage master who has fallen to the same realm as you!"

If you can defeat Xing Lingzhen.

Zi Chengqian will surely gain more confidence and recognize his current strengths. Can he directly try to reach the Nascent Soul stage?

This is indeed an intuitive threshold that can be barely hooked.

Thinking about it from this perspective,
Both of them are in the late Jindan stage, and the other party is in the Yuanying stage. If he defeats the other party, doesn't it mean that the Yuanying stage is enough for him to control with his current strength?

If you can control the realm, then you can start to improve to the corresponding level of cultivation.

Then, wouldn't it be a natural thing for a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage?

This equation is indeed true in theory and is equivalent to a pseudo-proof problem.

The path followed by the ancient Qi-refining masters in the world of cultivation has always been a process of "self-proving". There are many ways, methods, and paths as to how to prove and what to prove.

Fighting across "realms" happens to be a very good way to verify, especially when one is about to break through, it can be used as an important reference.

In his eyes, Lin Shan had now become a test subject!

"No, I am the Lord of Liansha Cave. I don't care about Xinglingzhen!"

Although passing on the blame has become an instinct for some people.

But that also depends on who is to blame. Is it me who takes the initiative to blame it, or is it someone else who forces me to blame it?

The trouble that Xing Lingjin has been involved in is so huge that Lin Shan thinks he cannot handle it. Whether it is the hundreds of clans in the Star Palace or the Star-Devouring Demon Clan, this is a huge trouble!

It would be fine if it was other aliases that impersonated him, but he really couldn’t handle Xing Lingzhen’s.

"Hahaha, don't worry, you don't have to worry about your whereabouts being exposed, because you won't have that chance anymore."

Zi Chenggan's eyes sparkled, the magic fire cauldron pressed down on the light curtain of the Star Palace so hard that it creaked loudly, and he laughed loudly.

"Today, I will use you as my stepping stone, and this will be my last battle before I break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Come on, show us your Nascent Soul Stage skills!"

"I will defeat you fair and square!"

"Then I will capture you, and then I will announce the reward to the Hundred Clans of the Star Palace and the Monster Clan, and I will ask for the price from both sides, and I will take advantage of both!"

Good guy!
This guy made shocking statements, and he even had it all figured out afterwards.

Lin Shan couldn't help but feel a toothache and almost laughed out of anger!

You're trying to get it both ways. Aren't you thinking too much?

If this good thing happens, why don't I just turn myself in and collect my own reward?

And what Zi Chengqian did next was even more unexpected.

He suddenly attacked, and two magic seals flashed by, killing the two Jindan stage true disciples who had been following him with lightning speed!

"what!"

"puff!"

The two were caught off guard and were still looking at them in disbelief before they died. They had never expected that Zi Chenggan would attack his own confidant.

"Now that you know I have a magic treasure, there is no need for you to live. Only the dead can keep secrets."

Lin Shan was shocked.

"No, Xiao Qinglong and the others also know about it. What's the point of just killing your own people? Won't it spread sooner or later?"

Zi Chengqian smiled smugly and stretched out a finger.

"One incense stick! Within one incense stick of time, I will kill you, and then I will go after Xiao Qinglong. It will be completely in time!"

Lin Shan choked. This guy was so conceited, he really had the capital to do so. If he didn't use his full strength, he would definitely not be his opponent.

However, even if he used all his strength, even if he exposed his magical treasure, the outcome would not change anything.

After all, the opponent also has two spiritual treasures, the Purple Star Ring and the Phantom Star Gate. First of all, they can protect themselves and are inherently invincible.

As for whether he could summon Zichen Star Lord and Youying Star Lord, that was not something he could know.

Back then, in Yuxing’s secret Star Palace, he had witnessed the power of the Star Lord’s Dharma Image with his own eyes!
Zi Chenggan did not disappoint him and took out the Youxing Gate.

Streams of star power flowed in through the portal, a clear blue light shone brightly, and with the recitation of a few mantras, the Star Lord Youying stepped out!

This is the Star God Projection!

"what?!"

Lin Shan rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was not mistaken. After Zi Chenggan killed the young master of Jiuyou and inherited the Youxing Sect, he was able to summon the Youying Star Lord?
But he soon came to his senses.

The projection of the Star God had a dull and stiff face, and it was obvious that there was no consciousness projected from the upper realm. It just walked into Zi Chengqian's body and blessed his realm and magic power.

He was already at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, and was only one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage.

With this blessing, I broke through the shackles in an instant!

That layer of shackles represents the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage. The difference between the inside and the outside is simply worlds apart!
In an instant, the vital energy between heaven and earth was mobilized and controlled by Zi Chengqian. The wonderful feeling of mastering the power of heaven and earth made him close his eyes in ecstasy.

"Is this the power of the Nascent Soul stage? Sure enough, no wonder it is so powerful and comfortable."

Lin Shan saw this and his heart grew heavier.

That's right. The Star God is busy in the sky with all kinds of things every day. Generally, he would be too lazy to come down to the mortal world unless there is something important, let alone a summons from a junior in the Jindan stage. It would be enough to just send a projection as a token of his appreciation.

Besides, Youying Star Lord was not aware of the death of Young Master Jiuyou. If Zi Chenggan hadn’t told him, he probably didn’t understand what happened and it’s possible that he was deceived.

Maybe even at the level of Xingjun, the death of the younger generation in the lower world is nothing more than a replacement of a person, and there is no deep emotion! Zi Chengqian broke through in a short period of time, and his magic power increased greatly. While trying to explore the transformation of magic energy by himself, he began to suppress Lin Shan.

The power of the magic cauldron in the sky increased by more than ten times!
That was the combination of his natal magic weapon, sect-suppressing magical power, and the Purple Demonic Flame, which instantly allowed him to reach the normal strength of the true Nascent Soul Stage!
"Buzz buzz~~~"

The noise in the Star Mansion was getting louder and louder, and the source was exactly the Star Well.

The vast amount of star power inside is roaring and roaring, trying its best to provide resistance to the operation of the star array, but even so it cannot be stopped!
As the master of the Star Mansion, Lin Shan could clearly feel that the star array was suffering damage and had exceeded its defense strength. If this continued, the cave magic weapon would be destroyed in no time.

"Xing Lingzhen, what are you waiting for? Why don't you show me your true strength and fight me head-on!"

Zi Chenggan's face could no longer be seen clearly. Only two dazzling purple pupils were emitting a blinding purple light. Two whirlpools were spinning inside. He was taking advantage of the brief period of improvement in his cultivation to refine his magic power into magic energy, laying the foundation for his future breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

This is a true genius. He never forgets to take the opportunity to improve himself during the battle. He handles everything with ease and everything is under control.

Lin Shan stood in the Star Mansion, silently estimating the time, and took out a summoning flag.

It’s not that he doesn’t have helpers, he just hasn’t summoned them. The thunder beast has not been summoned for so many years, and I think it should have accumulated a lot of lightning reserves. It’s a good time to pull it out and practice!

The big flag fluttered and waved violently!
"Sizzle, sizzle~~~"

A ball of lightning passed through, circling the sky, and instantly covered the entire area with layers of electric grids.

"Huh? What!"

Zi Chengqian's eyes swept around, and purple light burst out.

I saw countless lightning crackling, plasma overflowing in all directions, lightning chains bouncing continuously, flying back and forth in arcs, only afterimages were left but no real bodies were seen.

Then, with the linkage and synchronization, a huge vortex of lightning slowly rotated around the magic cauldron and enveloped it!
This is a battle of supernatural powers!
The lightning vortex versus the origin magic cauldron!

The innate magical power of the Thunder Beast collides with the magical power of the Yuanmo Sect!
"What the hell, you're looking for death!"

Zi Chengqian was furious and released the newly refined magic energy into magic seals, following the afterimage, wanting to see what the thing was that dared to challenge him.

However, the Thunder Beast's thunder escape technique was unparalleled in the world, and its speed was so fast that it was impossible to catch it, and all attacks failed.

If it weren't for the fact that its lair was underground in the Void Battlefield of Xiaoyizhou, Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord would never have thought of catching it from outside.

Now so many years have passed, and I don’t know what opportunity this guy got, but his strength has improved by leaps and bounds and is improving so fast!
Compared to the past, the power of this lightning vortex is much stronger.
Lin Shan was surprised and had a feeling that the mark of the summoning power in his soul seemed to be slightly loose and could no longer restrain this guy!
In other words, this guy couldn't be about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage on his own?

Thinking of this, his first reaction was urgency.

Yes, urgent!

At the beginning, when he summoned the Black Skull Demon Lord, he found that the guy had quietly recovered to the late Golden Core stage.

Now, after a long time of summoning the thunder beast, he is about to break through the Nascent Soul stage!

In this world, you are not the only one who is making progress. Others are also making progress and working hard to break free from the shackles!
The Thunder Beast was originally at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and it had an entire alien demon military base's power generation equipment to upgrade it, which was equivalent to having an endless supply of cultivation elixirs and natural treasures!

Even if you take a nap on weekdays, as long as you hold a wire in your mouth, it is equivalent to practicing all the time. The environment is simply unique.

The key is that Xiaoyizhou is located in the underground of the void outside the sky, and there is no one to disturb you at all, so you can improve yourself without any worries.

Even Lin Shan couldn't help but feel jealous!
I'm afraid that one day if I'm not careful, this guy will break through the Nascent Soul stage, break free from the summoning contract and run away.

Watching the battle between the lightning vortex in the sky and the origin magic cauldron, plasma flowed in the funnel connecting the sky and the earth. It was woven by countless electric grids, and each electric grid was composed of countless lightning chains.

The magical power that could actually trap Zi Chengqian for a short period of time suddenly became a mess!
"How... How is it possible? What kind of creature is this?"

Zi Chenggan was stunned and puzzled. How could there be a spiritual beast in the world that could compete with him at the Jindan stage?

Lin Shan knew clearly that the Thunder Beast was only relying on the large amount of electrical energy stored in its stomach over the years, so it released it all at once, relying on a short burst to temporarily fight back.

Once the electrical energy was used up, he would ultimately be no match for Zi Chengqian, so he began to secretly make hand gestures and cast a thunder storm. A pool of lightning suddenly appeared above the nine heavens, and strong winds instantly blew over a large area.

"Boom~Crack~"

The thunderbolts struck down one after another, combining with the lightning vortexes to provide support to each other. The thunder beast could even receive the overflowing lightning energy from the thunder and reuse it for its own talents.

The combination of the two thunder-based magical powers finally allowed him to compete with the Demon Cauldron with equal strength!

Even though Zi Chenggan had the support of the Star God's projection, he was still horrified at this moment, and his eyeballs almost fell out!

Xing Lingjin, do you have such ability?

If he was really that powerful, why had he been captured alive by Heixun of the Wuma Clan in the starry sea of ​​Yuxing's secret star palace?

The reason why he was so conceited and wanted to end the battle in one stick of incense was because he had observed the battle between the two, so he had a plan in mind and dared to make such a bold statement.

But how come Xing Lingzhen has improved so quickly after not seeing him for over a year?
The three parties were in a stalemate, and as time was dragging on, it was almost an incense stick of time. Lin Shan secretly calculated, waiting for Xiao Qinglong, Jiuyoumen and others to go far away, buying them enough time so that he could withdraw.

There was no need to fight Zi Chenggan to the death. That guy kept the spiritual treasure Zi Chen Star Ring on him and never took it off, leaving him no chance to launch a sneak attack.

He was not in a hurry, but Zi Chengqian was in a hurry at this time!

You know, killing his two confidants personally was based on the intention to silence all witnesses. Whether it was Lin Shan, Xiao Qinglong, Jiuyoumen and others, they were all on his kill list!

If he drags it out here in Linshan for too long, even if he can win in the end with his powerful strength, Xiao Qinglong has used the Star Mansion to take so many people away, so won’t the news of the spiritual treasure still spread?
"Xing Lingjin, you are such a good person. You are worthy of being the former chief steward. After so many years, you can make a quick comeback. If I really give you some time, I might not be able to do anything to you."

"but!"

"Do you really think that you can be safe and sound and have no worries if you hide in the Star Mansion?"

"In this world, the physical level and the spiritual level are just the most common means. There are always some places that are hard to guard against and cannot be comprehensive."

Lin Shan was at ease, watching the magical powers roaring in the sky, dragging out time, leisurely and contented.

"for example?"

"for example."

Zi Chenggan spoke in a cold and arrogant tone, with a sense of self-confidence that seemed superior to others, an innate sense of superiority.

"Fate!"

"I learned a technique from Yuxing's secret collection that can use fate to suppress and attack the opponent. Even if you hide in the hardest turtle shell, you can't prevent the collision of fate!"

"Xing Lingzhen, I think you have followed Master Yuxing for so many years, and you must have heard of the name of the Star Collision Technique. I am not talented, but I just happen to have the Star Fate!"

There was an inexplicable cruelty on his face, even a hint of the tyranny of a demon. Perhaps this was the release of his nature, or perhaps it was a perverted expectation.

"If I, Zi Chengqian, want you to die, you must die!"

"I was unlucky to hit a wall when I used this technique last time, but I don't believe it this time! Your fate can be more noble than my Purple Star fate!"

"I want to let you know what the real gap is!"
