Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 208 - Preparatory Battle Kill
The gale-force winds cleaved down like blades, but when they landed on the fair, jade-like skin, they shattered like thin ice hitting a hard rock.

Lin Le stretched out his arms, revealing obvious muscle lines on his seemingly weak body. Then, red lines were drawn on his body, covering more than 30% of his body surface.

'The power pattern is 30% and the pure energy is 6 dragons, which matches the records.'

According to records, the Great Dao of Strength is the easiest to learn but the hardest to master. It is easy to learn because any high-level cultivator whose physical strength has exceeded the first dragon level has already entered the path.

Moreover, as your power increases, insights will come naturally even without you having to comprehend them yourself.

The difficulty lies in the fact that physical training always places the greatest emphasis on the foundation. If the foundation is not solid, every upward climb will require several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times more resources and effort.

If one's strength doesn't keep up, it will become increasingly difficult to comprehend the Great Dao of Power.

Lin Le suppressed his power patterns and looked at the towering mountain that seemed to reach the sky.

'Now we should be able to touch it.'

A burning fighting spirit ignited in Lin Le's eyes.

He exhausted the spiritual foundation within his inner realm of supernatural powers, slaughtered ten Nascent Soul demon lords, and used them as resources to pass through the stage of the most rapid growth of his physical strength.

His current strength is comparable to that of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator in the Spirit Platform Dao realm.

As far as he knew, the true form of the Out-of-Body Demon Lord of the Ten Thousand Trees Mountain was a centipede demon.

The centipede demon is not known for its physical strength.

Lin Le dressed, the Hun Tian Ling wrapped around his arm, the Qian Kun Huan appeared on his wrist, and the Yin Yang Twin Swords were placed on his earlobes like earrings.

Lin Le also pulled the long-unused fire-tipped spear from the leopard skin pouch.

With fiery wheels gathering beneath his feet, Lin Le unleashed his aura without restraint.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes opened between the towering mountain pillars ahead.

The unfamiliar aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator suggests ill intent.

With a whooshing sound, the rubble began to fall, and the thousand-foot-tall stone pillar on the mountaintop began to move with its patterns. But upon closer inspection, it was clear that those were not patterns at all, but a thousand-foot-long centipede coiled up there.

"Young human, what brings you here?" The voice was ancient and resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The answer was given in a very calm tone:
"kill you."

Kill me? The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Woods was taken aback, then chuckled: "You, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator at the first stage?"

Even though Lin Le's aura was much stronger than that of a Nascent Soul Stage 1 cultivator, and comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage 3 or 4 cultivator, the Myriad Wood Demon Lord could still tell at a glance that Lin Le was only a Nascent Soul Stage 1 cultivator.

The response was a golden light that came from the sky.

Golden light pierced the sky, tearing through the clouds like a meteor from outer space, heading straight for the head of the Myriad Tree Demon Lord.

The restraining aura contained in that golden light made Wanmu Demon Lord feel a sense of apprehension. A demon-slaying artifact?
One limb detached and shot out like a heavy crossbow bolt, instantly colliding with the golden light.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the limb exploded into fragments, while the golden light flew backward and landed back on a wrist.

Lin Le glanced at the rapidly growing limbs of the Myriad Trees Demon Lord and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. As expected of the name "Myriad Trees," its vitality was truly vigorous.

With his left hand, fingers joined like a sword, he pointed to the sky, and the Yin and Yang swords rose up, merging into one, and then transformed into a thousand long swords.

"kill!"

With a downward slash, a thousand longswords shot out, their target the thousand limbs of the Myriad Wood Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees opened his mouth and spat out a torrent of dark green poisonous mist, which covered the sky like clouds.

Its poisonous mist is a spiritual poison; if ordinary magical artifacts are contaminated with it, their spiritual power will decrease at best, and they will be rendered unusable at worst.

But Lin Le already knew it had this trick up its sleeve, so how could it not be on guard?

As a powerful demon dwelling in the Wanmu Mountains, some of its deeds had already been spread far and wide.

A beam of red and blue light arrived first, like a roaring dragon and a charging tiger, blasting a large hole in the poisonous mist. Its momentum did not diminish and it headed straight for the joints of the Myriad Wood Demon Lord.

Rocks converge at the joints, forming layer upon layer of armor.

Boom!

The dragon and tiger crashed into the rocks, creating a deafening roar, and rubble rained down.

Wanmu Demon Lord frowned inwardly, because the power of this spell was far greater than it had imagined, comparable to a spell cast by a Nascent Soul Seven Transformation cultivator.

But that's all. After all, it was a demon lord at the first stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the spells of the Nascent Soul realm posed no threat to it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qianjian passed through the poisonous fog and slashed at the feet of Wanmu Demon Lord.

"How dare you!" Wanmu Demon Lord sneered, as the thousand limbs suddenly fell off, causing the sword to miss its mark.

After the thousand limbs fell off, they collided with the thousand long swords.

Rumble!
Once the first explosion rang out, the sound continued unabated.

The longswords were blasted away, scattering like a meteor shower, unable to regroup for the time being.

Among the meteors, a fiery meteor travels against the current.

Lin Le rode on his fiery wheels and charged forward.

With a flick of the spear, countless sparks flew out, drifting down towards the rapidly growing limbs of the Myriad Tree Demon Lord.

With a crash, as the rubble fell, the Myriad Wood Demon Lord suddenly stretched out half of its body, its ferocious and terrifying maw looming over Lin Le, ready to swallow him whole.

The spear rose from below, and the towering pillar of fire crashed into the gaping maw of the abyss like a fire dragon.

Red Lotus is enraged!
The ferocious maw swallowed all the flames, then still bit straight at Lin Le.

Lin Le did not flinch; his eyes were as calm as a still pond, devoid of sorrow or joy, and without a trace of fear.

clang!
A clang of metal clashing rang out, and a golden ring, as tall as a person, opened the mouth of the massive, mountain-like mouth, attempting to close. Inside the golden ring, Lin Le braced himself with his hands and feet on the Qiankun Ring, while his other hands gripped the Fire-Tipped Spear, thrusting it forward.

Extinction of the Thunder Pole!

The thunder dragon roared out, charging into the ferocious maw of the Myriad Wood Demon Lord with an aura of annihilation.

This time, the attack was much more tolerable than before. Wanmu Demon Lord felt as if Lin Le was about to destroy his internal organs in one breath.

How could its power be increased so much!

Wanmu Demon Lord was puzzled. Just now, the attack was at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, but this time it was directly upgraded to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage!

Despite its incomprehension, the intense physical pain caused it to loosen its jaws.

Lin Le, with three heads and six arms, broke free of the Qiankun Ring. With a single step, he traversed space and arrived above it, then threw it.

The Qiankun Ring, as tall as a person, expanded to tens of feet in an instant and smashed onto the head of the Myriad Wood Demon Lord.

In one blow, it cracked its rock-like outer shell, revealing its brownish-yellow carapace underneath.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees stretched out his body again, detached himself from the mountain pillar, and with a flick of his tail, the stone armor on his body fell off, revealing his brownish-yellow body.

It floats in the sky, its massive body seemingly unaffected by gravity. Dark green stripes cover its body, and as it moves, it leaves streaks of light in the sky that resemble ghost faces.

Its thousand-legged limbs have grown in a short period of time and are constantly swaying as it swims.

Thousands of longswords flew back into Lin Le's hand, transforming back into Yin-Yang longswords which Lin Le held in one hand.

Without exchanging a single word, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees swayed his body and charged at Lin Le once more, his hundreds of sharp claws flying out like missiles as they hurtled towards Lin Le.

The red ribbons danced like a crimson dragon in a frenzy, slapping and crushing those sharp claws.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees spat out a mouthful of poisonous mist, spraying it towards Lin Le.

Golden light burst forth, spreading ten feet around Lin Le. The poisonous mist, upon encountering the golden light, melted away like snowflakes meeting hot water.

As the poisonous fog dissipated, a huge mouth suddenly snapped down.

Bang! A burst of fire suddenly appeared beneath Lin Le's feet, causing him to shift dozens of feet to the side, making the Myriad Wood Demon Lord miss its target.

Sensing Lin Le's departure, the eight single eyes of the Myriad Wood Demon Lord lashed out with its tail, like a dragon swinging its tail, towards Lin Le.

Lin Le's reaction speed was even faster than it had imagined. Using the fire wheels under its feet, it dodged the lashing tail once again.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees chased after Lin Le, attacking him in turn with his forelimbs, poisonous mist, and spells.

Lin Le was either dodging or defending, showing no intention of launching an attack as he had just done.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees did not believe that Lin Le was incapable of retaliating. It could sense that Lin Le was like a crocodile lurking at the bottom of the water, waiting for it to reveal a weakness.

A cold glint appeared in its eyes. As it chased after Lin Le once more, it suddenly accelerated, curled up, and trapped Lin Le like a ball.

Thousand foot burial!
All of its thousand limbs shot towards Lin Le, carrying a strong surge of magical power.

Boom!

A thousand limbs exploded at the same time, and the resulting violent shockwaves rippled back and forth in this small space.

Meanwhile, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees was also suffering. In order to completely kill this strange human nascent soul, it had to endure the aftershocks of the Thousand-Legged Burial spell.

This caused the body's Qi and blood to churn, resulting in a slight imbalance of magical power.

do you died?
The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees scanned the space with its divine sense, trying to find Lin Le's whereabouts, but suddenly its body stiffened because it saw that Lin Le was right above its head.

The Primordial Flame mixed with the ignited magical fire, causing it to burn even more intensely, and Lin Le's momentum surged once again.

The moment the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees spotted Lin Le, he opened his three mouths and let out a loud shout: "Zha!"

Innate Divine Power: The Sound of Subduing Gods and Conquering Demons!

The sound was supremely loud and majestic, carrying unparalleled authority, like the voice of the Great Dao itself.

"Crack!" Wanmu Demon Lord was struck as if by a heavy blow, letting out a painful howl.

Then Lin Le made his move.

That day, he perfected the Nascent Soul chapter of the Burning World Scripture, and also created a spell that combines Yin, Yang, life, and death, which can also be said to belong to the Primordial True Meaning.

The sun and moon revolve, cleansing the universe!
The spear struck the armor of the Myriad Wood Demon Lord, and then the Myriad Wood Demon Lord's entire body began to tremble.

A deep fear was revealed in the eight single eyes, because Wanmu Zhenjun discovered that its magic power was disintegrating, its body was cracking, and its consciousness was collapsing.

It tried to stop it, but found that no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't stop it.

Everything was as unstoppable as the annihilation of heaven and earth.

"No!"

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Trees let out a mournful howl, struggling to bite Lin Le, trying to drag him down with him to his death.

But it was no use. Red patterns appeared on Lin Le's body, and he delivered the final blow to the Myriad Wood Demon Lord with six punches.

The force was immense and overwhelming, shattering the body of the Myriad Wood Demon Lord.

The thousand-foot-long centipede broke into a thousand pieces and fell down.

A surge of red and blue energy enveloped the Nascent Soul of the Myriad Trees True Monarch, forcibly stuffing it into the embroidered ball at Lin Le's waist, turning it into its nourishment.

As he withdrew his supernatural powers, Lin Le's face turned pale, but quickly regained its rosy hue.

Suddenly, a black light shot out from the void, heading straight for Lin Le's head.
