Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 137 Robbery, Expulsion [4,000-word long chapter]

In the center of this sea of ​​dantian, which exudes a rich primordial energy.

The enormous, four-cornered black curtain stood silently here, its darkness devoid of any movement, a deathly stillness that chilled the heart.

Within a radius of several dozen feet around this black curtain, everything was in a state of near darkness. When the light from the sky shone down, it was automatically swallowed up by the black curtain, making it look like a terrifying bottomless pit from a distance.

Lin Langtian stood quietly outside the four corners of the black curtain, looking up at the masterpiece before him, his eyes filled with amazement.

This was the first time he had used the Devouring Barrier.

It is also the "secondary skill" brought about by the Devouring Ancestral Symbol mentioned in the original work.

It was through this that Lin Dong was able to easily defeat one of the three demons of the Song family, who was stronger than him.

of course.

This thing was discovered by the little ferret.

It was a pleasant surprise.

"How is it? This is one of the abilities of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the Devouring Realm. As long as a person is in it, their own Yuan Power and even spiritual power will be gradually devoured. You yourself are the master within it, constantly keeping the battle in a state of ebb and flow. You will become stronger and stronger as you fight, while your opponent will become weaker and weaker until they are completely exhausted..."

The little sable appeared from Lin Langtian's shoulder, smiling as it looked at the Devouring Realm before it, its words tinged with smugness.

"However, your strength is still too weak. If you were stronger, this Devouring Barrier would be even more terrifying. It would probably exhaust your Yuan Power in less than a breath, unlike that Heavenly Eagle Dynasty."

"Furthermore, if you can fully unleash the Devouring Ancestral Symbol in the future, it will likely devour not only Yuan Power and Spiritual Power, but also life force."

"Vitality?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was finally somewhat moved.

"I have read in ancient books that a powerful figure in ancient times obtained the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Heh, once that Devouring Realm was opened, within a radius of ten thousand miles, with a single thought, all life could be completely extinguished."

There was also a hint of amazement in the little sable's eyes; it seemed that even it was extremely impressed by that level of skill.

"Is there really no way to break this Devouring Realm?"

Lin Langtian couldn't help but ask, "If this Devouring Realm cannot be broken once it is opened, then that would be too heaven-defying."

Because the original work mentions this devouring barrier very little, he couldn't get much useful information and could only ask Little Marten.

"There is no absolutely invincible existence in the world. The Devouring Realm is indeed powerful, but it also has a limit to what it can withstand. I can't speak for others, but something like the Devouring Realm you've just opened up might be difficult to use to trap and kill someone much stronger than you..."

Little Mink shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly.

With his current strength, he could manage to trap someone one or two ranks higher than himself, but if they were higher, he would be willing but unable to do so.

"Of course, although it cannot deal with stronger opponents than you in the same way, it still takes them a lot of effort to break through the barrier. If you encounter such a troublesome opponent in the future, as long as you open the Devouring Realm, it will be no problem for you to escape unscathed."

Lin Langtian nodded slowly, a slight stirring in his heart.

This level of achievement was already beyond his expectations...

"It should be about time."

Lin Langtian raised his head and looked at the Devouring Realm in front of him.

He could sense that the aura within was extremely weak. He smiled and waved his hand, causing ripples to spread across the quiet Devouring Realm. Then, black light surged and gradually faded away.

As the Devouring Realm faded, the darkness that weighed heavily on people's hearts, like ink, also quickly dissipated.

Immediately afterward, several muffled thuds were heard, and ten disheveled figures fell from mid-air, barely managing to land on the cultivation platform.

Those ten figures were naturally Wang Lie and the others who had been trapped in the Devouring Realm.

However, their faces were now deathly pale, and even their auras were extremely weak. The powerful Yuan energy that had been surging around them earlier had almost completely dissipated.

The sudden disappearance of darkness was clearly difficult for Wang Lie and his group of ten to adjust to.

The not-so-bright sunlight made them squint, panting heavily, and their faces still showed signs of shock. Clearly, they had suffered a lot in the Devouring Realm.

Lin Langtian was all too familiar with the dark atmosphere created by the power of devouring.

Back when he was trapped in the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, he was almost driven mad by it...

Although Wang Lie and the others only stayed there for a dozen minutes, it was enough to leave a shadow in their hearts.

Lin Langtian smiled as he looked at the disheveled Wang Lie and the others, and said lightly, "It seems that you 'prodigies' of the Sky Eagle Dynasty aren't all that great after all..."

Upon hearing Lin Langtian's voice, Wang Lie's heart trembled. He hurriedly looked up and gazed at Lin Langtian, who was smiling at them from not far away. A chill suddenly surged through his heart.

He really couldn't understand why this seemingly "ordinary" young man in white would possess such incredible abilities.

The so-called Devouring Realm from before was clearly not something an ordinary Heavenly Talisman Master could unleash. At this moment, Wang Lie vaguely realized that their Heavenly Eagle Dynasty seemed to have truly kicked a hornet's nest this time...

"retreat!"

Wang Lie felt a chill run down his spine as he felt Lin Langtian's mocking yet indifferent gaze.

However, he was decisive. Given the current situation, it was absolutely impossible for them to fight against this white-robed youth. Although they outnumbered each other, their current fighting strength was less than one-tenth of their peak. Trying to contend with the other group would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

Upon hearing Wang Lie's low shout, the expressions of the remaining members of the Sky Eagle Dynasty changed. They gritted their teeth, activated the few remaining weak Yuan Power within their bodies, and scattered to escape.

Even at this moment, Wang Lie and the others were still able to retreat in the most calm way, which surprised Lin Langtian.

It can only be said that this is indeed a high-level dynasty; its quality is far superior to that of middle and low-level dynasties.

However, even in their prime, they couldn't escape Lin Langtian's grasp, let alone in their current weakened state.

"If we only start running now, it might be a little too late..."

Looking at the scattered fleeing figures, Lin Langtian smiled calmly, his mind stirred slightly, and his powerful spiritual energy surged forth.

It transformed into ten large hands of spiritual energy, which violently grabbed at the ten figures.

Bang bang bang! When they saw the giant hand of spiritual energy grabbing at them, Wang Lie and the others were also startled. They mobilized their internal energy to launch an attack, but their weak attack power could not even shake the giant hand.

"Come here."

Lin Langtian's spiritual hand grabbed back the figures in a disheveled state and slammed them to the ground.

That force caused them to cough up blood.

Wang Lie was the last one to be captured, and it must be said that he was indeed quite capable. Even in this state, it took him an extra breath compared to the others.

"Bang!"

Wang Lie's figure was thrown into the crowd in a disheveled state, and then they stared palely at Lin Langtian, who landed in front of them with a smile.

Even now, they were still somewhat dazed. Not long ago, they had held an absolute "advantage," but unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, they had all become prey in the hands of this white-robed youth...

"What do you want?" Wang Lie's face turned pale and then red, clearly not expecting that such a powerful lineup would end up like this.

"Hand over your Qiankun bags. I don't want to hear a single word of nonsense I don't want to hear, and I don't want to do it myself."

Lin Langtian said with a smile, but that smile sent chills down the spines of Wang Lie and the others.

It would be a waste to let such a gift go to waste.

Waste recycling also has its value.

Some of the stubborn words that were about to come out were swallowed back under Lin Langtian's indifferent smile.

Wang Lie's gaze shifted for a moment, but in the end he could only acknowledge this cruel reality: they seemed to have lost even the right to refuse...

Moreover, judging from the white-robed youth's eyes, if he didn't hand it over, he would most likely die here.

"Take it!"

Wang Lie pulled a Qiankun bag from his pocket and threw it out with trembling hands. Seeing this, the others could only suppress their heartache and take the Qiankun bag out themselves.

Lin Langtian waved his hand.

Lin Shi, standing behind him, reached out and took the ten Qiankun bags, quickly invading them with his spiritual power.

After a long pause, he finally nodded to Lin Langtian, indicating that there must have been quite a few Nirvana Pills among them.

The entire inventory of a high-level dynasty is a considerable gain, even in the eyes of a super dynasty.

If it weren't for the Dan River.

This windfall was truly tempting for several people.

"Get lost."

Lin Langtian casually waved his hand, as if shooing away fireflies.

Wang Lie's expression changed several times, but he never dared to utter any harsh words. He glanced at Danhe with reluctance, but could only lead his men away in a dejected manner.

……

"Brother Lie, what should we do?"

In the sky.

Several figures with faint auras passed by, like a few stray dogs.

"What should we do? My Sky Eagle Dynasty has never suffered such a great loss before!"

The leader, his face contorted with rage, said, "Spread the word about Danhe! I refuse to believe that these few can hold Danhe!"

"Since we can't have it, then you shouldn't even think about it..."

……

Above the cultivation platform, a crimson light barrier rose up, enveloping the entire platform.

Powerful fluctuations continuously emanated from the light shield, giving people a feeling of extreme stability.

This place, along with the Dan River, was used by ancient sects for their disciples to cultivate, so the protective array here is extremely powerful.

If it is not activated actively, even if a Nirvana Realm expert were to create chaos outside, it would not be able to shake it in the slightest.

Lin Langtian's gaze swept over the crimson light shields, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

They must have sensed the power of these formations, and they were filled with envy. Those disciples in ancient sects were truly blessed, not only with the Danhe River, a coveted cultivation ground, but also with such powerful protection.

"These formations are a bit incomplete, but they can still be used with difficulty." At this moment, the little sable also appeared, clapped its paws, and said.

Lin Langtian nodded slightly to Lin Shi and the others, indicating that they could begin.

Then the members of the Lin clan sat down cross-legged in the center of the cultivation platform.

As the light shield expanded, he could clearly feel that the Nirvana Qi surging from within the Dan River had become much thinner.

It has even reached the point where it can be absorbed by people, which is probably due to these formations.

As for Lin Langtian...

The Danhe River didn't help him much, because with the bloodline connection from Jiuyou, he was making rapid progress. In just half a month, he was already close to the peak of the First Yuan Nirvana Realm.

If word got out about this rate of improvement, it would probably shock a lot of people.

Lin Qing'er also sheathed her cyan longsword and gently sat down beside Lin Langtian, her beautiful eyes gazing around with a hint of fervor.

The Nirvana energy permeating this place seems inexhaustible. She is currently in the Third Nirvana Realm and needs to absorb a large amount of Nirvana energy. This place is obviously a rare treasure for her. Cultivating here would greatly shorten the time it would take for her to break through to the fourth Nirvana Tribulation.

In the past, she would only protect Lin Langtian during critical moments.

His only concern was protecting the "future" of the Lin clan.

And since emerging from the Taiqing Lingtan.

She was always "protecting" Lin Langtian.

Even if Lin Langtian is incredibly strong, he doesn't need protection...

Of course, she herself was unaware of this change.

……

Just as the Lin clan members were happily absorbing the elixir from the river...

Little Mink could only watch with envy as the crowd absorbed the Nirvana energy so vigorously.

It is in a demonic spirit form, and even if it cultivates, the effects it achieves are extremely small. Therefore, if it wants to make real leaps and bounds, it must have a physical body...

"This time, we must get that Life and Death Reincarnation Pill!" Little Marten gritted his teeth.

It was a genius among the Heavenly Demon Sables, a very prominent figure even in the Demon Realm. Now it had fallen to this state. With its pride, how could it endure this?

"Once I recover my strength, I'll definitely find those bastards who attacked me back then. Damn it, did they really think they could hide their aura and appearance and make me unaware of who they were?"

Recalling that life-or-death moment, a terrifying ferocity and bloodshot veins suddenly appeared in Xiao Diao's eyes.

"Dare to lay a hand on Lord Mink? I'll make you pay a hundredfold!"

The scene from back then almost caused Little Marten's complete demise. If he hadn't decisively self-destructed at the last moment, allowing his injured demon spirit to escape into the stone talisman, he would probably have been completely wiped out from this world long ago.
