Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 138: Reshaping Weapons
Everyone who went to Muxia Mountain died, killed by Lin Le.

The news quickly spread among the city's upper class, along with a sense of panic.

Because Lin Le killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators, dozens of other Foundation Establishment cultivators, and hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators in a single day.

This is no ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm combat power.

What's even more terrifying is that not a single person escaped, which means that Lin Le was likely not alone.

The somewhat dismissive attitude of the upper echelons of Bitter Bamboo City vanished instantly. This was no longer a group of thugs that could be dealt with by one family alone; the entire city's strength was required.

Inside the belly of Mount Muxia, a blue and white dragon and snake coiled in a pool, while Lin Le sat cross-legged on the dragon and snake, meditating.

Both of them exuded a powerful suction force, plundering the spiritual energy within this territory. The spirit stones piled up by the pool dimmed at a visible speed and then turned into loose sand.

Within Lin Le's three secret realms, the three pillars continued to grow taller and thicker, and the secret realms expanded outwards inch by inch.

One hundred and ten, one hundred and twenty, one hundred and thirty... finally stopping at two hundred and eleven feet.

Lin Le opened his eyes. The spirit stones he had plundered from Yan Xuanzhen and the others had been completely squandered.

He turned to look at the dragon and snake beside him, and the dragon and snake opened their eyes at the same time, their ice-blue vertical pupils shining like luminous pearls.

Lin Le asked, "Is the Second City Pass here?"

"The second city gate is closed." Qingli nodded slightly, the light in her eyes slowly fading.

Lin Le jumped onto the edge of the pool: "Let's go."

"Okay." The dragon and snake came ashore and transformed into a beautiful woman wearing a flowing fairy dress.

As the two took a step, the ground seemed to shrink beneath their feet.

Before long, the two arrived at the city of Kuzhu. By then, it was already dark, and dark clouds drifted toward the bright moon, seemingly foreshadowing the turmoil of the night.

At the Yan family mansion, Yan Xuanming sat there. A whole day had passed since he received the news of Yan Xuanzhen's death.

A well-maintained and beautiful woman came over with a bowl of soup: "Master, please have something to eat. You haven't had any nourishing food all day."

“No need.” Yan Xuanming waved his hand, signaling the woman to step back.

"Master," the beautiful woman couldn't help but call out.

Yan Xuanming suddenly flew into a rage and roared, "I said, I don't need it!"

Seeing Yan Xuanming's terrifyingly gloomy expression, the beautiful woman's heart trembled, and she silently retreated.

"I need it." At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice rang out, and a hand picked up the soup bowl from the wooden tray in the beautiful woman's hand.

The two looked at the person holding the soup bowl in astonishment. He was a handsome young man with a dashing appearance but also a touch of childishness.

The handsome young man tilted his head back and drank the soup clean, then smacked his lips: "Rich but not greasy, what a fine soup! It would be a shame if Patriarch Yan didn't enjoy it."

The handsome young man placed the bowl back on the wooden plate and said, "After all, this is the last taste you can enjoy before you die."

"Lin Le!" Yan Xuanming stared at the handsome young man before him, gritting his teeth as he spat out those two words, "How dare you!"

He never expected Lin Le to dare to appear so brazenly in his Yan family mansion.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Lin Le shrugged. "Is this a den of dragons or tigers?"

He then turned to the beautiful woman and said, "Madam, close your eyes."

The beautiful woman was startled and instinctively closed her eyes.

Bang! A delicate fist brutally shattered the beautiful woman's pretty face.

"Yuxiu!" Yan Xuanming exclaimed instinctively.

"Don't scream."

Lin Le's face appeared before Yan Xuanming in an instant.

"I'll take you to keep her company right away."

Yan Xuanming was shocked and instinctively raised his magical power to defend himself. But Lin Le's divine sense was even faster than his.

The strings were plucked, and the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling rushed straight into Yan Xuanming's brain, leaving him in a blank state of mind.

boom!
With his head shattered, the head of the Yan family died under Lin Le's fist.

Looking at Yan Xuanming's fallen body, Lin Le sighed, "How could you be so weak?"

If the other family heads were also this kind of person, without the suppression of imperial aura, Lin Le felt that even those five city gate guards probably wouldn't be able to withstand more than a few moves from him.

Perhaps only genius cultivators with the Treasure Body or even the Dao Body can rival him at the same level.

Lin Le suddenly thought of Song Shiyin. She might be able to do it. Her aura, combat awareness, and magic were all quite strong, but the premise was that she had already abandoned her cultivation and walked the path of cultivation again.

Strolling through the Yan family mansion, one could hear shouts of killing everywhere. It was the Taoist soldiers wiping out the Yan family members, and the attack was overwhelmingly against them.

This time, Lin Le raised all the Dao soldiers to the half-step Foundation Establishment level, which is also the limit of Xiuqiu.

Two hundred or so half-step Foundation Establishment cultivators—that number would probably take searching the entire Anzhu County to gather—are more than enough to deal with the Yan family, who lack top-tier combat power.

As for why there was no reaction from the outside world? Lin Le looked up at the sky, where the stars were shining brightly. That was because the Yin-Yang Twin Swords were using themselves as the base of the formation.

After acquiring the method to decipher the star diagram of the embroidered ball, Lin Le and the Yin-Yang Twin Swords would occasionally spend ten merit points to comprehend it, and their array formation skills also improved accordingly.

If he were to be ranked, Lin Le felt he could be classified as a seventh-grade lower-level array master.

Therefore, he was able to easily break through the protective formation of the Yan family mansion and turn the tables, concealing the movements inside.

As Lin Le entered the heart of the Yan family compound, he squinted at the towering furnace.

That is the furnace of ten thousand weapons, the foundation of the Yan family.

The Yan family started out in weapon crafting, so they naturally have unique skills. The creation before them is the culmination of their ancestors' wisdom.

Relying on the terrain, spiritual veins, and continuous nurturing, this special low-grade spiritual weapon was finally cultivated. All offensive magical weapons forged from it possess a sharp aura and are three times more powerful than magical weapons of the same grade.

However, this Ten Thousand Weapons Furnace is going to be destroyed today.

Lin Le took out the Demon Slayer Spear and threw it in, along with many other spiritual materials, intending to reshape the spear.

Having located the array mechanism, Lin Le immediately activated it at maximum power.

Whoosh! Flames shot into the sky as the earth's vein fire scorched the Thousand Weapons Furnace with its most intense force.

The dark body of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Furnace was also heated red-hot, seemingly emitting a hissing sound as if begging for mercy.

Inside the furnace, the Demon Spear of Slaughter and the spiritual materials were fused together, but it just wouldn't take shape.

However, it would be strange if it could even take shape, since Lin Le had been haphazardly refining it since the first day he got the Demon Slayer Spear, and its foundation was already terrible.

Fortunately, Lin Le was prepared and used his supernatural inner vision to dissipate the twenty blood-patterned lotus roots.

Lin Le also produced ten sections of blood-patterned lotus root in his hand, and then threw them in.

The lotus root transformed into blood threads and flowed into the Demon Spear of Slaughter, calming its chaotic spirituality.

The surrounding spiritual materials were quickly absorbed, along with the spiritual energy of the Myriad Weapons Furnace.

This is also why the furnace of ten thousand weapons was destroyed.

Lin Le had previously experimented with a magical artifact and discovered that enhancing the potential of an ordinary magical artifact required a great deal of killing karma.

At this point, Lin Le also discovered another use for killing: bone-stealing.

Simply put, it means grafting one person's constitution onto another person's body and placing it on a magical artifact, thus taking away the potential of the other artifact.

This saves far more resources than a direct upgrade, so Lin Le set his sights on the Yan family's Ten Thousand Weapon Furnace, which is also the only known spiritual artifact.

Lin Le watched as the Myriad Weapons Furnace "wailed" as he waited for the Slaughtering Void Demon Spear to be successfully reshaped.
