A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 188 Lin He vs. Wan Tianming

A fierce glint flashed in Lin He's eyes. With a large amount of magical power poured in, the golden light on the eight small mirrors surrounding him flowed rapidly, and then the eight corresponding golden flame pillars grew much thicker.

Ji Yin immediately felt immense pressure. The black flame shield was struggling to withstand the attack, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. After all, Wan Tianming had arrived, and with the three forces restraining each other, he still had at least a sliver of hope to survive.

He remained silent, his voice extremely gloomy, only glaring angrily at Lin He. Suddenly, the other party chuckled, which he found strange. Then, he saw two eerie black lights appear in Lin He's hands.

Protected by the golden flames, the two beams of black light reached the edge of the black flame shield in the blink of an eye. As soon as they touched the black light, the entire black flame trembled violently and became extremely chaotic inside.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yin's face darkened, and he looked incredulous. "Impossible! My refined Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire is much more stable, how could it be affected by you?"

"Hehe! You don't need to ask me that; you'd better ask your master!"

"Could it be—" Ji Yin suddenly realized something and roared, "The Xuan Bone is in your hands?"

"It would be better to go on your way knowing nothing at all; why bother knowing so much?"

The next moment, the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire became extremely unstable. The Yin could no longer control it, and the Heavenly Capital Corpse Fire exploded.

Ji Yin let out a strange cry as it was struck by the uncontrollable black flames, while the surrounding golden divine flames surged up and completely enveloped Ji Yin's body.

The divine flames blazed brightly, radiating golden light. Ji Yin was in excruciating pain, writhing and thrashing about wildly. Soon, his physical body could no longer withstand the onslaught.

Left with no other choice, Ji Yin slapped the top of his head, and a jet-black nascent soul, riding a small black sword, teleported out.

The Nascent Soul teleportation technique was indeed extraordinary. If they were outside, Lin He would have no way to pursue him, since he had not yet refined the Destruction Eye.

However, Lin He didn't need to pursue them at all, because a thick golden flame had already sealed the cave entrance.

The dark nascent soul teleported to the cave entrance in an instant. Upon seeing the golden flames blocking its way, it became fierce and slashed out with the small dark sword beneath it.

This small, black sword was quite powerful, actually causing the golden light barrier to tremble. Ji Yin was overjoyed and was about to continue his attack when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Before anyone knew it, a wisp of blue flame had already wrapped around the Nascent Soul, and then spread out. The power of the Azure Ice Flame was no ordinary thing.

A heart-wrenching scream quickly echoed from inside the ice cave, sending chills down the spines of Manhuzi, Wan Tianming, and the others outside.

The jet-black nascent soul, now tainted with eerie blue flames, thrashed about wildly, clearly driven mad by the pain. A series of agonizing screams echoed through the ice cave, causing even Lin He to frown upon hearing them.

Once this dark nascent soul is entangled by the Azure Ice Flame, even Lin He won't be able to save it, let alone save it at all.

Soon, the jet-black nascent soul was completely refined by the Azure Ice Flame, turning into a ball of white light and disappearing as if it had never existed.

After the small black sword was frozen by the Azure Ice Flame, it had lost much of its spiritual power and was no longer of any use. Lin He ignored it and simply put away the extremely yin storage bag. He had originally planned to search the soul, but it seemed that he could not do so now.

At this moment, the golden flames sealing the cave entrance were quickly attacked. Two purple fire dragons flew over, baring their fangs and claws and spitting out a large ball of purple flames. It looked like the golden light barrier was about to be broken.

Lin He was not surprised. He simply moved and quickly arrived next to the Void Heaven Cauldron. He first put away the two Blood Jade Spiders.

At this moment, the Void Heaven Cauldron was still encased in a layer of solid blue ice. Unless this layer of ice was removed, the cauldron could not be retrieved.

However, Lin He knew that the key to activating the Void Heaven Cauldron lay in the Azure Ice Flame. Only by completely refining this flame could he obtain the Tongbao Technique to control the Void Heaven Cauldron.

Just as he was about to make his move, a familiar figure walked over – it was Wan Tianming!

Wan Tianming's gaze lingered on Lin He for only a moment before landing on the frozen Void Heaven Cauldron, whereupon a fanatical expression appeared on his face.

"The Heaven-Mending Pill! The Void Heaven Cauldron!"

Wan Tianming's face was filled with madness, like a person who had been driven to the brink of despair and found a way out. He then looked at Lin He again and said coldly, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you really surprise me! I didn't expect you to actually snatch this Eight Gates Golden Light Mirror. With the help of this Golden Light Divine Flame, you even killed Ji Yin and destroyed his Nascent Soul. I really admire you."

Lin He's achievement of killing a cultivator of the same level with his early Nascent Soul cultivation is already quite astonishing. After all, Nascent Soul cultivators are not easy to kill. Unless they are surrounded by several cultivators of the same level, trapped by an array, or like now, inside this ice cave formed by the Azure Ice Flame, killing a Nascent Soul cultivator is just a pipe dream.

Wan Tianming pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, although you are quite strong, you are no match for me. How about this, I will give you a choice now. If you give up now, I can pretend that what happened before never happened and will not hold your act of seizing the Void Heaven Cauldron against you. Moreover, you have offended the Six Paths, and I'm afraid your days in this Chaotic Star Sea will not be easy. Why not join our righteous sect? As long as you join our Myriad Laws Sect and become an elder, even if the Six Paths want to kill you, they will have to ask my aunt for permission."

Upon hearing this, Lin He simply said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader Wan is truly magnanimous. However, you shouldn't put it so nicely. I know you don't want to fight with me here and expend your magic power. After you take the cauldron, you'll probably suffer when facing the Barbarian Beard and the others outside, right?"

Wan Tianming frowned, realizing his thoughts had been exposed, and said, "It seems Fellow Daoist Lin is unwilling to let go?"

"I went to great lengths to find this pair of blood jade spiders, only to obtain one or two ancient treasures?"

"I had hoped to save some energy, but it seems that's impossible now, Fellow Daoist Lin. Please don't blame me for being impolite!"

Wan Tianming, who had always been polite to Lin He, finally dropped his pretense. His face was filled with murderous intent and his expression was ferocious. In front of treasures like the Void Heaven Cauldron and the Heaven-Mending Pill, Wan Tianming finally revealed his true nature.

The purple flames around Wan Tianming surged wildly, instantly condensing into two purple fire dragons. These two fire dragons were at least a size larger than before, clearly indicating that Wan Tianming was no longer holding back. After all, resisting the Azure Ice Flame here also consumed mana, and over time, the consumption of mana would be considerable.

Wan Tianming seemed intent on a swift and decisive victory, and Lin He surprisingly shared the same intention.

At this moment, the golden flames around Lin He became even more dazzling, like a little golden man, and two thick golden dragons also condensed and flew out.

The next moment, the golden dragon and the purple fire dragon collided!
