With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

Standing in the shadows, Lin Qingshan gazed at the familiar young figure on the battlefield, his eyes revealing undisguised surprise and deep pride. After a moment of stunned silence, he spoke, "This... I had no idea that Lin Yan had such a foundation. Even Wan Jun and I were fooled by him until today when we finally saw his strength."

In fact, Lin Qingshan was no less shocked than Wang Jianjun at this moment. Before the spiritual energy eruption last night, his physical strength was at most that of an ordinary person. He never expected that he would be able to kill a second-level martial artist overnight.

Freak! Monster!

"He has the demeanor of a father."

"Pooh."

Lin Qingshan was overjoyed. His shameless behavior was met with glares and "scorn" from his colleagues and comrades, who exclaimed that heaven was unfair for letting this scoundrel give birth to a treasure!

Wang Jianjun remained silent, his gaze fixed on Lin Yan, his heart heavy with worry.

Currently, Blue Star is undergoing a great transformation, with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth becoming increasingly abundant, and extraordinary talents emerging in large numbers. With the foundation and combat power that Lin Yan has demonstrated so far, he will surely become a supreme powerhouse of the Great Xia Dynasty in the future.

However, it was exposed too early!

It should be noted that the Great Xia Dynasty has a long-standing tradition of showcasing one generation while keeping another hidden and nurturing a new one. The young prodigies on the surface do not represent the whole picture, and there are still some stronger individuals who are diligently cultivating in ancient ruins.

Even those people, without any resource support and growing wildly, could never reach Lin Yan's level!

"Pass down the order: spare no effort to ensure Lin Yan's safety. If the Blood Sacrifice Cult dares to lay a finger on him, chop them all down!"

Wang Jianjun issued the highest-level military order, instantly relaying it to every soldier fighting on the battlefield. Beside him, a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, the situation on the battlefield deteriorated again.

The Blood Sacrifice Cult had made extensive preparations for today's surprise attack. A continuous stream of blood puppets crawled out from the cracks in the ground, and the cold, crimson blood energy surged like a tide, condensing into a sea of ​​blood in the sky. It contained extremely heavy pressure, like a ferocious blood beast opening its jaws in the abyss, ready to swallow everyone whole.

Not far away, black-robed cultists held bone staffs and formed hand seals, with blood-red incantations floating in the sky, drawing upon the astonishing power of the Blood Sacrifice Array and guiding the misty crimson glow to fall and continuously pour into the blood puppets' bodies, causing the monsters' physical hardness and ferocious aura to rise steadily.

Several newly empowered blood puppets went berserk on the spot, withstanding the blades and shields of several Great Xia warriors. Their claws tore through the air, and they charged forward with highly toxic blood energy that corroded flesh, forcing the frontline warriors to retreat step by step, causing several flaws to appear in the originally solid defensive line.

Seeing this, Bai Chen's sword flashed, his sword energy slashing and killing, but against the enhanced blood puppets, he could only inflict deep wounds that exposed bone, unable to achieve the same results as before. His brows furrowed, his breathing slightly rapid, and his nineteen-year-old second-tier cultivation was gradually showing signs of fatigue under the relentless attacks of the massive number of blood puppets and Blood Sacrifice cult members.

Zhao Feng, standing to the side, felt his fists go numb. The Tiger Roar Fist's power exploded. Even with his strong physique, after repeatedly battling several blood puppets, his arms trembled slightly, and his tiger's mouth cracked and bled.

The two prodigies of Jiangcheng fought fiercely, and the warriors of the Great Xia army joined forces to defend against the enemy, but they still could not stop them, and the defensive line gradually shrank.

However, their eyes remained terrifyingly resolute, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens. Even the mortals behind them were suppressing their fear and trying to stifle their sobs so as not to disturb these "soldier brothers".

"Ultimately, the lack of effective offensive tactics makes killing enemies too slow!"

Amidst the crowd, Lin Yan once again slayed a blood puppet, exerting all his strength to circulate the Daoist scriptures and profound techniques, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth from all directions, and muttering to himself.

Currently, he does not possess a second cultivation manual similar to the "Tao Te Ching," and therefore cannot rely on the primordial runes he has just accumulated to evolve the Heaven-Covering Emperor Technique.

"But who says you can't kill enemies without Imperial Techniques?"

Lin Yan's gaze swept over the blood lotus mark above his head without leaving a trace. Wasn't this a ready-made "object to be transformed"? You must know that the Emperor's Killing Array in the Shrouding the Heavens universe is no less than the so-called forbidden secret techniques. Some flawless Emperor Arrays are even equivalent to the second life of the Great Emperor, no different from Emperor Artifacts.

Moreover, given the Blood Sacrifice Array's ability to devour the blood and energy of living beings, if it were truly transformed into the Heaven-Covering Emperor Array, it would very likely become the Heaven-Devouring Array Pattern of that ruthless empress, devouring the heavens, the earth, and spirits, seizing the essence of life for its own use.

For Lin Yan, a cultivator at the Bitter Sea Realm, comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and opening his own path are all abstract concepts that cannot be grasped in a short time. Only the vast amount of Heaven and Earth essence is real and can propel his cultivation to rapid progress.

hum!

With a sudden thought, Lin Yan wanted to use the primordial runes that were quietly floating in his sea of ​​consciousness to evolve the Blood Sacrifice Array. In an instant, more than ten primordial runes had accumulated and shone brightly, but then dimmed instantly.

Clearly, he failed this time, not because he couldn't, but because he didn't have enough runes.

The reason Lin Yan was able to successfully condense the Heaven-Covering Dao Seed and evolve the Dao Scripture the first time was entirely because he almost absorbed all the essence of heaven and earth brought about by the burst of spiritual energy. Now, it would be difficult for him to evolve the Emperor Array again.

"If that's not enough, then keep killing!"

The next instant, Lin Yan's figure vanished from the spot.

There are no fancy moves, only pure and extreme physical strength, accompanied by magnificent thunder and tsunami sounds. Every move he makes is filled with an extremely powerful and domineering aura.

boom!

A muffled explosion reverberated through the streets. He instantly appeared in front of a blood puppet that had just broken through the defenses and delivered a simple straight punch to its head.

There was no outward manifestation of spiritual energy, but the immense force of the fist directly crushed the blood-red aura surrounding the blood puppet. The withered head, as hard as refined iron, turned into a cloud of blood mist, and all the strange blood poison was simultaneously obliterated. The brilliant golden light entered Lin Yan's body, and in his sea of ​​consciousness, a level one rune gradually took shape.

Although all the primal runes are universal, Lin Yan still classified them according to their strength. For example, the primal rune condensed to kill the blood puppet was level one, while the one condensed to kill A Qing was level two.

"Not enough!"

Compared to Bai Chen and Zhao Feng's arduous battles, Lin Yan's killing prowess was nothing short of a devastating blow.

He moved with ease, weaving through the swarms of blood puppets and black-robed cult members, his figure so fast that only afterimages remained. Any enemy who came within three feet of him was instantly killed.

Whether they are first-tier or second-tier, they can all be taken down with a single punch.

"That's too brutal!"

"This...a poet?"

At this moment, Bai Chen and Zhao Feng both had the same thought as A Qing, seriously suspecting that their martial arts were not the same as Lin Yanxiu's at all!

What legitimate martial artist gets stronger the longer the battle goes on, with no sign of their spiritual energy being depleted? They were also at the second level, and even joined the battle after Lin Yan, yet they were exhausted before him?!
