A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

"Elder Yang Li, don't be in such a hurry to leave~"

"Let's have a good spar and exchange some Taoist techniques!"

"Look at you, you're so old, yet you still have such a temper. It's bad for your health!"

Lin Xiu's voice came from all directions, his tone relaxed and carefree, as if he genuinely cared about Yang Li's physical condition.

In fact, Lin Xiu was quite concerned about Yang Li's health.

He was constantly concerned about how much lifespan Yang Li had left and whether he still had the power to fight back, lest he be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

Elder Yang Li was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Every time he went all out, Lin Xiu would evade him with his uncanny movement technique. And Lin Xiu's attacks didn't even need to actually hit him to shorten his lifespan... It was truly disgusting!

......

"Om~"

At one point, Yang Li's aura suddenly dropped, and he seemed unable to continue, leaving An Miaoyi, who was watching from a distance, dumbfounded.

"What kind of fighting style is this? It actually allowed Immortal Venerable Lin to gain an advantage?"

"Brother Lin is truly... unique." Ji Zi also had a strange expression on her face.

“However, I think that elder is almost exhausted. Why doesn’t Immortal Lin defeat him in one fell swoop?” An Miaoyi asked, puzzled.

"Brother Lin is cautious in his actions. Perhaps he is waiting for that elder to be completely exhausted?" Ji Zi guessed.

......

Himeko's guess was completely correct.

Lin Xiu could tell at a glance that Yang Li was putting on an act! He clearly still had energy left, but he pretended that his life force had been completely burned out.

The purpose was... to deceive Lin Xiu and try to defeat Lin Xiu's main body in one move!

However, Lin Xiu was not about to be fooled.

Before Lin Xiu could calculate that Yang Li was truly powerless to resist, he would absolutely not launch an attack!

Sure enough, after a while, Elder Yang Li's momentum continued to decline.

However, Lin Xiu still showed no intention of making a move! He continued to use the Samsara Technique to try and further shorten his lifespan!

"What...what do you want?!"

Elder Yang Li finally broke through his defenses.

He had been waiting for Lin Xiu to take the bait, but Lin Xiu just wouldn't fall for it. Instead, he acted as if he wouldn't get close to him until he was completely annihilated, which was really torturous!

......

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu chuckled and shook his head.

"What do I want? Of course, I want you to die completely!"

"I will absolutely not come near you until you are completely no longer a threat!"

Elder Yang Li: "..."

He was utterly desperate.

He didn't expect Lin Xiu, a young man, to be so cunning. What happened to the idea that young people are all competitive and reckless?

......

Thus, under the harassment of Lin Xiu's Samsara Technique, Elder Yang Li's life force continued to ebb away.

His hair turned from white to gray, then gradually fell out; the wrinkles on his face deepened, and his skin became loose and rough like tree bark.

Most importantly, his life wheel is covered with endless marks, looking like it could collapse at any moment!

Finally, when Elder Yangli had only six months left to live, Lin Xiu finally made his move!

Three Lin Xiu simultaneously unleashed their ultimate moves. Lin Xiu's two Daoist selves used the Lesser Six Paths Reincarnation Fist and the Five-Colored Divine Light Fist respectively to get close to Yang Li, while Lin Xiu's true body unleashed a killing move from the Void Scripture!

[A severance between the two realms!]

Lin Xiu slashed his hands across the air, as if splitting the heavens and earth in two!

An invisible void rift appeared in front of Elder Yang Li, instantly tearing him in two!

At the same time, the fists of the two Daoist essences also struck Yang Li!

Chapter 259 The Ruthless Lineage, Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron

"Boom!~"

With two punches landing, Elder Yang Li's blood rained down.

Before he could recover, his physical body was completely destroyed by Lin Xiu's "Severing the Two Realms"!

Yang Li's soul still wanted to escape, but a beam of mirror light shone down and instantly froze his soul!

It is the Heavenly Mirror!

The Dao Heaven Mirror immobilized Yang Li's soul, and Lin Xiu's two Daoist essences simultaneously delivered the final blow to Yang Li!

"Boom!~"

As soon as the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared, Yang Li was completely annihilated, his soul and spirit destroyed!

The Supreme Elder of the Yin-Yang Sect, a powerful figure at the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm, has fallen!

.........

This incredible move left all the onlookers speechless!

"It's already an unprecedented feat for a single immortal to defeat a low-level powerful being, but now, Immortal Venerable Lin Xiu has actually killed a high-level powerful being! Is the Divine Forbidden Realm... truly so heaven-defying!?"

“I asked Dao Yi Saint Lord, and he said that Lin Xiu went all out this time and had no energy left to hide his realm. The current Immortal Venerable Lin Xiu’s realm is not Immortal First Heaven First, but Immortal First Heaven Third.”

"Even if someone is at the third level of the first immortal realm, even with divine restrictions, it's impossible for them to defeat a high-level second immortal powerhouse, right?"

Amidst the heated discussions, a figure of saintly stature stepped forward to offer an authoritative explanation:

"Although young friend Lin Xiu has extraordinary combat power, his limit is that he can only briefly contend with a low-level Immortal Level 2 expert."

"As you all saw in the battle just now, he was indeed no match for a high-level expert. Under the siege of the Yin Yang Sect elders, he was actually at a significant disadvantage."

"His greatest strength lies not in his power, but in his powerful vitality and unpredictable moves."

"The Holy Body's powerful physique and vitality ensured that he would not be killed in one blow, at most he would be seriously injured. However, that strange move could continuously steal a cultivator's years, and in the long run, this is what led to the current outcome."

"I see. Rather than saying Yang Li was killed, it's more accurate to say he died of old age?"

"That's true."

"Although the Divine Restriction is powerful, it is not so heaven-defying. What is truly heaven-defying is Lin Xiu's power of time, which has never been seen before."

"The power of time... I've heard that the Great Emperor Wushi walked the Great Path of Time! So, Lin Xiu really did obtain the Great Emperor Wushi's inheritance?"

"If a sacred body combined with the primordial inheritance is this powerful, how powerful would a true innate sacred body Dao embryo be if it were to be born?"

Amidst their reflections, many cultivators and Saint Lord-level figures turned their attention to the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

"Hey! Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion, I heard that your Holy Maiden is about to give birth, is that true?"

"Alas~ If I could live to see the birth of the innate sacred body and the Dao embryo, and suppress the golden age, that would be wonderful."

"Lord of the Purple Mansion, could it be that you instigated the Purple Mansion Saintess to make that oath yesterday?"

Purple Mansion Saint Lord: "..."

The Purple Mansion Saint Lord's lips twitched slightly, and he had no choice but to step forward and reply that if this continued, something bad would definitely happen.

"Cough cough~"

"My Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion Holy Land has never had any improper relationship with Immortal Venerable Lin Xiu. Our relationship has always been that of pure and innocent fellow Daoists."

"However, it is indeed true that the Holy Maiden of this Holy Land made a great vow of Dao heart."

"Before becoming an emperor, Immortal Venerable Lin Xiu will have a final battle with the Holy Maiden of this Holy Land. If any fellow Daoists are interested, you are welcome to attend and watch the battle."

Faced with the question of the Eight Trigrams, the Holy Lord of the Purple Mansion chose to create another set of Eight Trigrams.

This choice proved quite effective, and soon all the cultivators' attention was focused on topics such as when Lin Xiu and the Purple Mansion Saintess would fight before becoming emperors, and who would win and who would lose.

.......

Lin Xiu: "......"

Lin Xiu was also speechless. He didn't expect that his killing of Yang Li would eventually lead to the "birth of the innate holy body Dao embryo".

However, they were right about one thing: he was no match for Yang Li. He could only win by stalling for time and wearing down Yang Li's lifespan.

All I can say is that the Reincarnation Technique is still too powerful against those old guys; it's practically a "treasure tool specifically for veterans."

[If this were used on those self-severing supreme beings in the future, they'd probably be so desperate they'd fight me to the death, right?]

After the battle, Lin Xiu prepared to give a speech before continuing the Immortal Venerable Competition.

Just as he was about to speak, a beautiful figure in white suddenly flew out from the Yaochi Holy Land area and flew directly in front of him.

The white-clad figure, dressed in ethereal attire reminiscent of a flying apsara from Dunhuang, with a white veil concealing her true appearance, was none other than the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Little Ancestor, the Holy Lord has instructed me to offer you peaches of immortality to replenish your qi and blood."

As she spoke, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi respectfully presented Lin Xiu with a peach brimming with spiritual energy.

This peach, though not as good as the semi-saint-grade peach that only grows once in a long time, is still a rare and precious item at the very top level below the semi-saint level, enough to make even a saint-level figure tempted.

"Yes, the Queen Mother of the West is very thoughtful."

“Go back and tell her that if the Yaochi Conference is well-organized, I will reward her handsomely.”

Lin Xiu remembered that the Yaochi Holy Land would collect the blood of all races at the Yaochi Assembly to nourish the Nine-Aperture Holy Spirit.

As the adopted son of the Jade Pool Holy Land, Lin Xiu felt it necessary to thoroughly examine whether the divine bloodlines offered to the Holy Woman were contagious.

It's decided! All the blood will have to go through his hands first, and only after he has tested it with the Devouring Heaven Demon Art will it be given to the Holy Spirit!

"Yes, I will obey your orders, young master."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled enchantingly and gracefully rose to reply.

Actually, at first she was very worried about Lin Xiu's safety.
