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

Chapter 185 Increase in Yuan Power [4,000 words]

In the ancient battlefields of today, treasures are being searched everywhere.

All the powerful figures on all sides are doing their utmost to improve their strength, preparing for the Hundred Dynasties War, which is less than half a year away.

The struggle for the treasure must have been extremely fierce.

The ancient battlefield was already in a state of considerable chaos at this point; it was better to cultivate quietly here than to wallow in the chaos there.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Diao nodded, his gaze gradually becoming solemn.

With a swift movement, it appeared in the Dan River, and with a clench of its claws, the mysterious black and white pill appeared in its hand.

A wisp of life and death energy emanated from the pill. The surrounding Nirvana energy immediately weakened and dissipated upon contact with this life and death energy. Clearly, these two energies were not on the same level at all.

The little sable stared excitedly at the pill in its paw, hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed it directly into its mouth!

"Bang!"

The moment the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill entered its mouth, a terrifying wave suddenly swept out from the little sable's body, directly stirring up monstrous waves in the Pill River.

The black and white aura of life and death seeped out from the little sable's body, gradually spreading until it formed a black and white cocoon of energy that completely enveloped the little sable's body...

Lin Langtian gazed at the black and white cocoon suspended in the Dan River, and he could faintly sense the violent fluctuations emanating from it.

Clearly, the cocoon was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface.

Condensing a physical body is clearly not a simple matter, and it even carries considerable risks.

However, Lin Langtian was helpless in this regard. This kind of thing could only be done by Xiao Diao himself, and he couldn't interfere at all. So all he could do was pray that Xiao Diao would complete his task smoothly.

However, compared to the little sable in the original work, the current little sable has received many opportunities that were not originally his, and has also accumulated a lot of foundation. As long as he doesn't cause too much trouble, there shouldn't be any problems.

However, nothing is absolute.

I still need to be careful.

"It's my turn next..."

Lin Langtian stared at the black and white cocoon for a full half hour, but the inside of the cocoon remained completely calm.

After realizing that there was indeed no way he could intervene, he finally gave up, took a deep breath, and moved to land on the only cultivation platform in the Dan River.

He wasn't a little sable; he couldn't directly absorb such viscous Nirvana Qi, so he still needed the filtering effect of the cultivation platform.

Fortunately, with the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the absorption speed wouldn't be too slow.

"The Third Nirvana Tribulation..."

Sitting cross-legged on the cultivation platform, Lin Langtian's eyes revealed a hint of eagerness.

After half a month of tempering in the Thunder Sea, coupled with the Azure Dragon Skin he had just cultivated, his physical body was now unmatched even by those who had survived three Nirvana Tribulations.

Compared to his previous focus on developing his fragile mage skills, he also saw hope in both physical body and elemental power cultivation.

The bloodline connection that Jiuyou gave him alone was equivalent to an inexhaustible Nirvana Sea, so that even when he slept, there would be a continuous flow of Yuan energy entering his body.

Therefore, Lin Langtian has now put the cultivation of Yuan Power on his agenda.

His eyes slowly closed, and just as he was about to enter a meditative state, a thought flashed through his mind.

"I wonder how Qing'er is doing now..."

This is a battlefield filled with the stench of blood. Figures covered in blood move about, and the sounds of fighting echo, filling the air with a tragic atmosphere.

Those figures had empty eyes and emaciated bodies, like dried corpses, but their eyes were bloodshot and filled with bloodlust.

This place resembles a battlefield or a living hell.

"Bang! Bang!"

A deep voice echoed from the brutal battlefield.

A dozen figures were directly blasted apart by a sword aura. Then, an extremely sharp sword intent, radiating a dazzling azure color, swept across the battlefield.

As that sharp aura swept through, a slender figure slowly stepped out. Her white dress was already stained deep red with blood. Her exquisite face complemented the surrounding blood and gore, like a bright rose in a desperate situation.

Under that sword intent, even the bloodshot, mindless corpses around them were too shocked to approach, allowing the blood-covered figure to slowly walk past and finally head towards the end of the battlefield.

That level of sword intent was so powerful that even the tragic and bloody atmosphere permeating this space could not stop it.

While Lin Langtian was in seclusion deep within the Azure Dragon Palace, this vast and boundless ancient battlefield, as he had predicted, indeed descended into the most intense struggle and chaos.

As treasures from all sides were gradually discovered, some rare spiritual treasures, elixirs, and even martial arts techniques were revealed.

These things are scarce on this ancient battlefield, so it's inevitable that they will attract a lot of envy and competition.

The various dynasties also fought each other because of the appearance of these treasures.

Some relationships that were already fragile in the past became almost impossible to break under the temptation of these treasures.

Everyone wants to obtain the treasures, because everyone who can come to this ancient battlefield is no ordinary person.

Similarly, their ambitions were also beyond those of ordinary people. They all wanted to stand out in the upcoming Hundred Dynasties War and be noticed by those super sects, so as to rise above their circumstances and completely change the trajectory of their lives.

To become stronger, these treasures that have been passed down from the treasure trove are clearly a good shortcut, and many people are unwilling to give up this seemingly easy shortcut.

Therefore.

Competition is inevitable.

As various dynasties clashed, the ancient battlefield was filled with the smoke of battle. In this intense atmosphere, more and more powerful figures began to emerge and display their prowess.

These powerful figures include many who already held considerable prestige within advanced dynasties, as well as quite a few who suddenly emerged.

Most of these people were lucky enough to inherit some treasures, and their strength was quite considerable, making them remarkable dark horses.

Chaos and competition will always weed out some people, but they will also always allow outstanding individuals to reveal their hidden talents.

This ancient battlefield is now truly reaching its most intense moment!

After more than half a year of silence, powerful figures from all sides have begun to emerge in various ways, becoming prominent figures in this space...

While the entire ancient battlefield became incredibly chaotic and turbulent, in a space deep within that ancient secret realm, a dazzling river of cinnabar still floated quietly, with astonishing streams of Nirvana energy continuously spreading outwards.

Within the Dan River, a black and white cocoon of light floated, surrounded by a black and white halo.

Within a hundred feet of the halo, there was not a trace of Nirvana Qi, as if this was an area that Nirvana Qi greatly feared.

Within the halo, two completely different scenes are presented.

One side was vibrant and full of life, while the other side was lifeless and gloomy, with even the space itself becoming dull and gray due to that lifelessness.

Life and death, two unique energies that control the cycle of heaven and earth, give rise to all sorts of wonders.

Inside that cocoon of light was the little sable that had condensed its physical body. Since it swallowed the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill and formed the cocoon of light, it had been inside for three whole months.

Throughout March, the cocoon of light that the little sable had transformed into grew larger and larger, but it did not emit any fluctuations or even a sound. Surrounded by that aura of life and death, no one could detect what was happening inside.

However, judging from the increasingly dense aura of life and death surrounding the cocoon of light, nothing unsettling seems to have occurred yet.

Overall, things went relatively smoothly for Xiao Diao.

Shifting the focus, a figure sat cross-legged quietly on a cultivation platform several hundred feet away from the black and white cocoon of light, like an old monk in deep meditation.

A massive, devouring force continuously spread outwards, and under this devouring force, the surrounding powerful Nirvana aura also continuously surged into Lin Langtian's body.

That speed was astonishing.

Three months.

For the past three months, Lin Langtian has spent almost all his time diligently cultivating on this training platform, and it is clear that the results of these three months have been quite remarkable.

Two months ago, Lin Langtian had successfully survived his third Nirvana Tribulation.

Now, with his Triple Nirvana and Four-Seal Heavenly Talisman Master status, he will absolutely be unstoppable in the upcoming Hundred Super Battle.

Although the third Nirvana Tribulation was more powerful and violent than the second, it was actually easier for Lin Langtian, whose body had been tempered by half a month of lightning and who had cultivated the "Azure Dragon Transformation Technique" to the entry level.

Of course, this time he didn't use the external stone talisman or the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, relying entirely on his own strength to get through it.

Therefore, Lin Langtian's third Nirvana Tribulation went so smoothly that even he himself was surprised.

If other tribulation seekers knew about this, they would probably be filled with resentment.

When others face tribulations, they are terrified and struggle with all their might to barely survive. But for Lin Langtian, it was as easy as eating a meal...

Of course, Lin Langtian had no time to care about other people's frustrations. He was able to pass through the third Nirvana Tribulation so easily because he had already paid a price of pain that ordinary people could not imagine before.

This physique, far stronger than that of other experts of the same level, was not something Lin Langtian obtained by relying on eating rare and precious herbs to achieve instant success.

Everything requires effort before you can reap rewards, and the path of cultivation is no exception.

To be honest, Lin Langtian himself was quite surprised that a lazy, lazy boy in his previous life could endure so much hardship.

It's true that environment shapes people.

Of course, the mountain of the Otherworldly Demons was also weighing heavily on his shoulders, leaving him no room to slack off.

On the ancient cultivation platform, the Nirvana Qi surged and flowed. Lin Langtian's expression was as calm as a deep pool. The aura emanating from his body was clearly more than twice as strong as it had been three months ago.

He is now a genuine third-stage Nirvana Realm expert. Even if he only uses his Yuan Power, he could probably contend with even a fourth-stage Nirvana Realm expert.

Lin Langtian passed the third Nirvana Tribulation in just one month of seclusion and intensive training, a speed that is quite remarkable.

However, Lin Langtian was not entirely satisfied.

And it is precisely because of this that, after surviving his second Nirvana Tribulation two months ago, his cultivation has not slackened in the slightest; on the contrary, it has become even more frenzied.

Because his original goal was to overcome the fourth Nirvana tribulation when he left this place!

The Dan River here is much more abundant than before, and it would be a real pity to miss it.

Lin Langtian couldn't bear to part with him.

"Whoosh!"

On the cultivation platform, Lin Langtian's breathing quickened slightly, and a black hole spread out behind him. Instantly, the surrounding Nirvana Qi surged into Lin Langtian's body at an even more ferocious speed.

The Dan River flows through the hazy, gray space, unknown to anyone.

A profound silence enveloped the space, save for the occasional rushing sound of the Dan River, which brought a slight touch of life to the area.

In places like this, even the concept of time seems to disappear.

And in this senseless passage of time, another month quietly passed. While the ancient battlefield was raging to the point of being noisy, this Dan River remained silent and peaceful.

"Splash!"

On the surging Dan River, the crimson flames of Nirvana rise.

Suddenly, the entire Dan River trembled violently, and the pervasive Nirvana Qi began to surge toward the cultivation platform at an astonishing speed.

Under the surge of this Nirvana energy, one of the figures was faintly radiating golden light, resembling a golden monk sitting cross-legged.

Extremely unstable fluctuations of Yuan energy rippled outwards in a ring shape, centered on his body.

Lin Langtian's skin, which was pure gold in color, had a faint, eerie crimson hue, and even the surrounding air seemed to become dry.

This unstable fluctuation is clearly a sign that the Nirvana Tribulation is about to begin!

Lin Langtian's fourth Nirvana Tribulation, after another three months of arduous cultivation, finally arrived...

Within the Dan River, the Nirvana Qi seemed to be stirred, becoming extremely violent.

Centered on the cultivation platform, this Nirvana energy showed signs of condensing into a storm, with streaks of Nirvana fire weaving through it.

And in that enormous storm was Lin Langtian's seated figure.

At this moment, his expression was solemn, and he no longer had the ease he had when he underwent his third Nirvana Tribulation three months ago.

Each Nirvana Tribulation is stronger than the last.

That power has also increased many times over. With his current physical body, Lin Langtian can indeed easily pass through the third Nirvana Tribulation.

However, if faced with the third Nirvana Tribulation, even he would not be able to remain so relaxed.

Regardless of the circumstances, the stone talisman was there to protect him.

If you cannot overcome this obstacle, simply offer up the ancestral stone.

Right now, he's just testing his limits.
