He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

Lin Shaoyu frowned slightly, and with a wave of his right hand, the Mother-Child Soul Refining Banner transformed into a streak of black light and flew back into his hand. He was already somewhat displeased.

The reason why Lin Shaoyu risked his life to obtain life through killing was because this guy in front of him had already affected his ability to kill indiscriminately. It was a rare opportunity to obtain life without worrying about the consequences. The reason why Lin Shaoyu was willing to take risks and search for a long time before confirming this mission was precisely because this mission allowed Lin Shaoyu to kill indiscriminately in order to obtain life.

Moreover, Lin Shaoyu had been waiting in Blackrock City for more than three months for today's battle.

Regardless, we must fight a major battle today to obtain enough lives.

"Master Immortal."

At this moment, Shen Baige quickly shouted, "Please be careful! He is an inner disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, extremely powerful, and has mastered a 'natal flying sword: the Blazing Fire Sword'."

"Um?"

Lu Zhanfeng of the Iron Sword Sect was taken aback, his gaze turning to Shen Baige. The two had interacted many times, even clashing several times, and someone whom Shen Baige addressed as "Immortal Master" must be extraordinary. "You..."

After realizing what had happened, Lu Zhanfeng didn't hesitate at all. He almost instinctively stepped back. His first thought wasn't to attack Lin Shaoyu, but to regret his rash move.

brush!

Lin Shaoyu took a step forward, directly charging out of the city, breaking through the city's protective formation, and entering the battlefield. With his hands forming hand seals, he had already unleashed the "Minor Divine Power: Iron Rooster".

hum!hum!hum!

In an instant, accompanied by bursts of light and shadow, the divine power talisman manifested, and a faint glow appeared around Lin Shaoyu, along with the phantom of the Iron Rooster.

"Junior Brother Lin..."

Fu Hongxu shouted, "Don't be reckless!"

"..."

Chi Lian frowned slightly, not in a hurry to make a move.

"cut!"

Lin Shaoyu pointed his sword finger, and sharp sword light slashed towards Lu Zhanfeng from all directions. Lu Zhanfeng quickly dodged and summoned his 'Natal Flying Sword: Blazing Fire Sword'. The sword drew forth the Blazing Fire, and the crimson flames transformed into dazzling sword energy, shattering Lin Shaoyu's Spirit Slaying Sword Technique.

Clang!

however.

These fiery sword energies landed on Lin Shaoyu, but were all blocked, unable to break through his defenses or harm him in the slightest.

"God... supernatural power..."

Lu Zhanfeng's face was filled with horror, his heart pounding with fear. "This...this is a divine power...The Bone Demon Sect, you...you are a disciple of the Bone Demon Sect!"

Lu Zhanfeng was merely an inner disciple of the Iron Sword Sect, which was naturally no match for the Dry Bone Demon Sect. Within the Iron Sword Sect, only true disciples were qualified to cultivate 'supernatural powers' and to receive the inheritance of 'supernatural powers'. Lu Zhanfeng had no such qualifications at all.

"kill!"

Lin Shaoyu's gaze was indifferent. With the protection of the "Divine Power: Iron Rooster", he completely ignored Lu Zhanfeng's attack. His so-called natal flying sword was like tickling him.

"My lord! Help me!!!"

brush!

Lu Zhanfeng was terrified and used some kind of escape technique to flee quickly. He didn't dare to fight Lin Shaoyu at all. Under the cover of the military formation, he managed to escape from Lin Shaoyu's grasp.

"kill!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Lin Shaoyu did not continue the pursuit into the enemy camp, but instead unleashed his sword energy, repeatedly using the Spirit Slaying Sword Technique.

Lin Shaoyu had already mastered this spell to an unparalleled level, and each time he used it, he could take away a large number of soldiers and cultivators.

In this way, Lin Shaoyu obtained a large number of life points. Although most of them were gray life points, the quantity was large enough, and there were also white and black life points provided by cultivators.

"That's enough!"

Lin Shaoyu wanted to make a move, but at that moment, alarm bells went off in his mind. A cold, clear voice came from the horizon, giving Lin Shaoyu no chance to react.

Click!

Lin Shaoyu felt as if the space around him was frozen by a mysterious force, and he was unable to move at all. He had even broken through the "Iron Rooster's" defense.

"this……"

Lin Shaoyu was slightly startled. "This is a divine power!"

The surrounding space cracked open in the next moment, generating an extremely terrifying cutting force that acted entirely on Lin Shaoyu. Under this force, Lin Shaoyu's body was cut into countless pieces.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

Fu Hongxu exclaimed in shock, never expecting that Lin Shaoyu would be reduced to ashes on the spot.

"How could that be?"

Chi Lian was also stunned, never expecting such a thing to happen. Wasn't Lin Shaoyu a pawn of some powerful being? How could he die so easily? She couldn't accept it.

No one present expected that the war had only just begun when a master of the Bone Demon Sect would fall.

Something's not right!

"Look, the corpse is changing..."

Someone exclaimed in surprise, noticing something was amiss.

Sure enough, just as everyone saw Lin Shaoyu die such a tragic death, the place where he had been standing changed. The corpse that had been cut into countless pieces turned into a special puppet, and this puppet withstood all the damage and shattered into countless fragments.

In the next instant, Lin Shaoyu's true form appeared inside the city, standing on the city wall. He looked at the spot where he had just stood with lingering fear and murmured softly, "Such a powerful killing technique. This technique is entirely designed for direct combat, unlike techniques like 'borrowing life money' or 'debt collector'."

"Even with the 'iron rooster's' absolute defense, it couldn't withstand it."

Fortunately, Lin Shaoyu was prepared. Before the war began, he had already mastered the top-level minor supernatural power "Substitute Life Puppet", which has extremely strong life-saving ability. Moreover, he had already made ninety-nine substitute puppets, which is equivalent to having ninety-nine lives. He had just used up one of his lives.

"Junior Brother Lin, are you alright?"

Chi Lian asked a question.

"Um."

Lin Shaoyu nodded. "I managed to dodge it by luck."

"Yeah?"

Chi Lian looked at Lin Shaoyu suspiciously. It was clear that he hadn't just managed to dodge by chance, but had used some kind of supernatural power to escape unscathed.

"Judging from the battle just now, Lin Shaoyu should have mastered two kinds of divine abilities. The first kind of divine ability is very common. Many outer disciples have cultivated this kind of divine ability. It can almost be said to be a standard feature of the outer disciples of the Bone Refining Peak of the Dry Bone Demon Sect, which is called 'tightwad'."

Chi Lian pondered, "The second supernatural power is very similar to that top-level minor supernatural power, 'Substitute Person.' If the information I've gathered is correct, Lin Shaoyu only successfully cultivated Qi more than four months ago, and at the advanced age of over sixty, he succeeded in cultivating Qi and became an outer disciple. This can almost be considered as exhausting his potential and having no chance of becoming an immortal."

"But……"

"How long has it been? Just a few months, less than four months, and he not only mastered the Iron Rooster technique, but also that top-tier minor supernatural power, 'Substitute'."

"this……"

Chi Lian took a deep breath, her heart filled with even greater shock and growing more apprehensive. "It seems that Lady Hongshang's deduction was correct. There must be a powerful being behind Lin Shaoyu, and Lin Shaoyu is merely a pawn. The reason why Lin Shaoyu was able to achieve such success and cultivate such powerful abilities in such a short time must be because he received the support of that powerful being."

"but……"

Everything comes at a price.

"Lin Shaoyu's cultivation seems to be breaking through extremely quickly, and he has even mastered supernatural powers in a short period of time. But when that great supernatural power master is ready to settle accounts, everything Lin Shaoyu has now will become a gift to the other party."

"Just like me..."

Chi Lian sighed softly, feeling a sense of shared misfortune, because she was bound by a "debt line" and could not escape Lian Hongshang's control, so she could only become Lian Hongshang's debtor and work for her.

"What a convenient scapegoat."

brush!

Above the battlefield outside the city, a handsome silver-haired man with delicate features approached. He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Lin Shaoyu. "Not only can you directly transfer the damage from my divine power, but that move just now didn't even manage to hurt you in the slightest."
