Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Lin Mo carefully extracted this last wisp of divine consciousness.

Instead of directly and openly probing forward, he compressed his divine sense to the extreme, transforming it into a thin thread that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

The thin threads clung to the damp, cold ground, taking advantage of the surrounding moss to slowly and gradually spread toward the masked woman.

Ten steps.

Five steps.

Three steps.

Lin Mo's heart was in his throat.

He had to figure out just how powerful this woman was, capable of killing him in a single move.

The thin strand of divine sense finally touched the toes of the masked woman.

At the very moment of contact!

"boom--!!!"

In Lin Mo's mind, it was as if a nuclear bomb with a yield of ten million tons had suddenly exploded!

He couldn't detect the woman's meridians at all; his divine sense directly collided with a vast, unfathomable, and terrifying ocean of spiritual energy!

That power had completely exceeded Lin Mo's comprehension.

If the sect leader at the peak of the Void Refinement stage whom he smashed to death was a rushing river...

The masked woman before you is the boundless deep sea!

A cold, violent, and overwhelming force, capable of crushing everything in the world, surged into Lin Mo's mind like a tsunami, following that wisp of divine consciousness.

"puff!"

Lin Mo suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his body convulsed violently.

He clutched his head tightly, the veins on his forehead bulging like earthworms.

The intense stinging sensation felt like it was tearing his soul apart, and all he could hear was a sharp buzzing sound.

At the same time, deep within his mind, the system panel flashed a blinding blood-red alarm.

【warn!warn! 】

[Target's cultivation level detected as extremely dangerous! Host's divine sense has suffered a devastating backlash!]

[Target Realm: Peak of the Fusion Stage!!!]

Peak of the Fusion Stage?!

Lin Mo's breath caught in his throat as he stared at the four large, blood-red characters on the system panel.

A tidal wave of emotions surged within him, and he even briefly forgot the excruciating pain in his body.

The path of cultivating immortality is fraught with strict boundaries.

Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Void Refining, Body Integration!

Above the Nascent Soul stage is the Void Refinement stage, and above the Void Refinement stage is the Body Integration stage!

That's a leap of two whole major realms!

In a top-tier cultivation world like the Canglan Realm, one can establish a sect and become its leader at the Void Refining stage.

A powerful being in the Integration Stage is undoubtedly an unparalleled overlord who can suppress a region and turn the world upside down with a flick of the wrist!

How could an old monster of this level, who usually secluded himself to comprehend the Dao, suddenly come to the mortal realm where spiritual energy is scarce to capture him?!

Lin Mo's mind raced.

She could never be a member of the Xuantian Sect.

If it were the Xuantian Sect's backer, seeing their sect leader killed and their 100,000-strong army wiped out...

Given the temper of a Nascent Soul stage expert, he would absolutely slap the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty and its millions of people into ashes.

How could they only arrest him?

So what is she after?

Lin Mo endured the excruciating pain in his mind and fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

He gasped for breath, raised his head, and stared intently at the masked woman in front of him.

"Who exactly are you?"

Lin Mo's voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes were unusually fierce, like a lone wolf driven to the brink of despair.

"A powerful being in the Nascent Soul stage coming down to the lower realm to kidnap a Nascent Soul stage cultivator like me? Isn't that a bit beneath them?"

The masked woman remained silent.

As she watched Lin Mo wipe away the blood, a faint hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, which were as cold as ice.

Seemingly surprised that this ant from the lower realm, after being attacked by her protective aura, had not turned into an idiot but had remained conscious.

But it was only a slight surprise.

The next second, the masked woman moved.

She strode forward with her long, beautiful legs, stepping on the slippery bluestone slabs, and slowly walked towards Lin Mo.

There were no footsteps.

She was like a ghost.

As she approached, that peculiar, icy fragrance, like a snow-covered orchid, grew increasingly intense, penetrating Lin Mo's nostrils.

But what comes with it is a suffocating sense of oppression.

The surrounding air seemed to be sucked out instantly, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Water droplets on the rock face even condensed into ice crystals in mid-air, then fell to the ground with a splash.

Lin Mo had his back against the rock wall, with nowhere left to retreat.

He clenched his fists and stared intently at the woman who walked up to him.

The masked woman stopped a step in front of Lin Mo.

She looked down at Lin Mo from her high vantage point.

Then, she slowly raised her right arm, extending her fair and flawless hand, palm up, and placed it in front of Lin Mo.

There was no explanation.

No threat.

Only two words came from behind the black veil.

"Give it to me."

His voice was hoarse, brief, and extremely cold, carrying an air of superiority that left no room for anyone to refuse.

Lin Mo was stunned.

He looked at the delicate white hand that was stretched under his nose, and then looked up at the woman's calm eyes.

My mind went completely blank.

"Take what?"

Lin Mo frowned, looking completely bewildered, and uttered a curse.

"I don't even know who you are, do you think I owe you money?"

The masked woman's eyes instantly turned cold.

The faint cracking sound of ice breaking could be heard in the air.

"You won't give it to me?"

The masked woman's voice lowered slightly.

"How the hell do I know what you want?!" Lin Mo laughed angrily.

The masked woman didn't say anything more.

She suddenly bent down, her fair hand instantly transforming into a blur as she grabbed directly at Lin Mo's chest.

"What are you trying to do?!"

Lin Mo was shocked.

The veiled woman's voice echoed coldly in the cave.

"Since you won't hand it over voluntarily, I'll search it myself."

Lin Mo instinctively swung his right fist, aiming straight for the masked woman's face.

He doesn't possess Chaos True Essence, but his physical body is a genuine Chaos Saint Body.

The punch sent a white sonic boom cloud exploding in the air.

However, the masked woman didn't even try to hide.

She simply raised her left hand casually, extending two slender, white fingers.

"Snapped!"

Two fingers precisely blocked Lin Mo's fist.

The enormous recoil force surged back up his arm, and Lin Mo felt his entire right arm go numb, with the bones creaking under the strain.

Before Lin Mo could change his move, the masked woman's right hand transformed into a claw, grabbing his shoulder and pressing him down sharply.

"Bang!"

Lin Mo was pressed firmly against the damp rock wall by this terrifying force that he could not resist.

The hard bluestone slab on the back was smashed open, cracking in large patches, and gravel fell down in a flurry.

The blue rune chains binding him tightened instantly, binding his hands tightly behind his back, pinning him to the wall like a prisoner.

The two were now less than half a foot apart.

The masked woman lowered her head slightly.

A faint, delicate orchid fragrance wafted into my nostrils, like petals frozen for a thousand years in the snow and ice.
