Chapter 41: Palm Strikes the Nascent Soul, Peerless Posture!
Inside the underground ruins.
Zhao Ling'er, who had just succeeded the Mother of Lightning's inheritance, had the biting cold aura she originally exuded hide away. The whole person had a feeling of returning to original simplicity.
From this small detail, it could be seen that Zhao Ling'er benefited a lot this time.
"Brother Lin Xuan, I feel that inheritance is quite formidable. I inherited a cultivation technique called Three Thousand Thunder Arts. It is even more powerful than the Primordial Chaos One Qi Art and has Nine Styles of Thunder Art Divine Abilities!"
Zhao Ling'er said with great joy and excitement.
"Mn, what you inherited is the Mother of Lightning's inheritance, which is an inheritance above the Great Emperor. Naturally, it is more powerful than the Primordial Chaos One Qi Art. Furthermore, you have the foundation of cultivating the Primordial Chaos One Qi Art, so your control over these Three Thousand Thunder Arts will definitely be very fast!"
Lin Xuan said.
"Remember, do not relax your own cultivation just because you inherited two types of inheritances. The turmoil within the Human Race territory will only get bigger and bigger. You must cherish all time to improve your strength!"
Immediately, Lin Xuan said with a trace of solemnity in his tone.
"Mn mn, Brother Lin Xuan, I will definitely take your words to heart!"
After finishing this sentence, Zhao Ling'er seemed to realize something was wrong. Her fair and pretty face blushed slightly, and the corners of her eyes stole a few glances at Lin Xuan, appearing to be checking Lin Xuan's reaction.
"Let's continue to search the surroundings. Since this underground space can have the Mother of Lightning's inheritance, presumably there might be other supreme treasures as well; it's uncertain."
Lin Xuan scanned the surroundings with his divine sense, then rode the Black Lizard demonic beast, whipping up a gust of demonic wind, and flew towards the depths of the ruins.
A quarter of an hour later.
The two arrived at a mountain peak that had been cut off from the middle.
The vitality emitted from the Black Lizard's body attracted countless ghosts and resentful souls within the ruins, who charged up fearlessly of death.
However, when they approached within a hundred zhang of them, they were blasted to death by Zhao Ling'er using the power of lightning.
Within the range of Lin Xuan's divine sense, under this cliff was also a place that could not be probed.
Swish!
Suddenly.
A pair of massive scarlet eyes lit up from the black smoke.
At the same time, accompanied by the pressure of a Nascent Soul Realm ghost, alarm appeared in the eyes of Lin Xuan and the other.
"Three Thousand Thunder Arts—Hundred Thunder Strike!"
On the side, Zhao Ling'er's pair of delicate jade hands were instantly wrapped by a ball of azure thunder radiance.
She gave a tender shout, raised her jade hands, and a hundred lightning snakes condensed from lightning locked onto that Nascent Soul Realm ghost aura ahead and shot out explosively.
Sizzle!
A hundred lightning snakes danced wildly in the air. Like one hundred chains of lightning power, a faint smell of scorched electricity came from the void.
Roar!
And that Nascent Soul Realm ghost, after sensing the threat emerging from all directions, surged with ghost mist all over its body. Twisting its flexible body, it dodged the majority of the lightning snake attacks.
Although a few lightning snakes landed on its body, they were nothing to fear.
Next.
The Dragon Wings behind Lin Xuan on the side suddenly spread out, and he arrived above this ghost's head in an instant.
He raised his right fist with an indifferent expression.
"Mountain River Pearl!"
At the same time, Lin Xuan's divine sense connected with the Mountain River Pearl.
In a split second, his right fist was wrapped inside the phantom of a mountain range.
The fist smashed down.
Like Mount Tai crushing the top, carrying a terrifying colossal force that could not be resisted. The residual might of the fist force alone oppressed this Nascent Soul Realm ghost onto the ground.
Bang!
The fist smashed down, and this Nascent Soul Realm ghost was smashed into a pile of broken bones without any suspense.
Next.
The dozen or so spirit lamps by the two people's side flew forward with a spirituality of their own, arriving beside the rock wall at the foot of this mountain peak.
By the brilliance of the spirit lamps, the appearance of the person before their eyes emerged.
It was another skeleton!
However, what made this skeleton different from others was that faint soul fire still flickered in its eyes. Although the light of the soul fire was very thin, it was still captured by Lin Xuan.
"Actually hasn't died completely yet!"
Lin Xuan said with interest.
As soon as his voice fell, the soul fire inside that skeleton seemed to lock onto Lin Xuan who walked in front of him, and instantly flew out.
"Beiming Xuan Art!"
Countless profound demon patterns emerged on Lin Xuan's limbs and bones. He reached out his right hand and grasped this remnant soul in his hand.
"Do you want to possess me?"
Lin Xuan said with coldness in his eyes.
Sensing the devouring force coming from Lin Xuan's right hand, the soul power gathered over tens of thousands of years on this remnant soul was flowing away rapidly.
"This is the Northern Underworld Divine Art. You are the successor of the Northern Underworld Great Emperor!"
The remnant soul exclaimed with a face full of astonishment.
At the same time, this fist-sized soul ball was reducing in volume rapidly while talking.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me. I can be your soul servant, handle matters for you, and honor you forever!"
That remnant soul begged for mercy.
"Heh, a mere Tribulation Transcending Realm remnant soul also wants to be my soul servant? You are not worthy yet!"
Lin Xuan sneered in his heart.
Immediately.
A miniature black hole suddenly formed at Lin Xuan's right hand. This remnant soul did not even let out a scream before it was devoured by the Northern Underworld Divine Art.
Boom...
After devouring this wisp of remnant soul, Lin Xuan felt a stream of very pure power merge into his sea of consciousness.
This caused his divine sense power to increase by a large margin.
A Tribulation Transcending Realm remnant soul like this was a great tonic medicine for increasing divine sense. If it were caught by other cultivators above the Void Refining Realm, it would definitely be taken to refine pills.
Immediately, the demon patterns on Lin Xuan's body surface hid away.
And Zhao Ling'er behind Lin Xuan did not ask much.
Although Zhao Ling'er was surprised that Lin Xuan could control demonic energy, she only needed to know one thing: the person before her eyes was her Brother Lin Xuan.
Furthermore, Lin Xuan's actions did not look like those of a spy planted by the Demon Race.
Lin Xuan turned his head, seeming to see the doubt in Zhao Ling'er's eyes.
"Ling'er, do you know the Northern Underworld Great Emperor?"
Lin Xuan asked her.
Hearing Lin Xuan say this, Zhao Ling'er revealed an expression of sudden realization. Among the Great Emperors of the Human Race, the Northern Underworld Great Emperor could be said to be very famous.
The Northern Underworld Divine Art he created was the nemesis of the Demon Race and other ghosts, and he even had a record of killing several Demon Race Great Emperors.
In the "Biography of Great Emperors" book in the Nine Heavens Holy Land Library, Zhao Ling'er had understood all the Great Emperors of the Human Race. Of course, this was also a compulsory course for every Holy Land disciple.
Immediately.
Zhao Ling'er recalled the scene of Lin Xuan being covered by demon patterns just now. Her pupils constricted, and she seemed to understand something.
"That's right. The reason I let you inherit the Primordial Chaos Great Emperor's inheritance is that I have already inherited the Northern Underworld Great Emperor's inheritance!"
Lin Xuan explained.
After Lin Xuan cleared up Zhao Ling'er's confusion, the two decided to look for the exit of this ruins realm and leave this place. But after searching for a week in this small ruins realm, they discovered this was a sealed space.
In the end, they could only use the Black Lizard as a pangolin to start digging a passage upwards to serve as a tunnel.
Of course, if Lin Xuan completely mastered the Great Void Technique, he could ignore these rock obstacles and leave the ruins realm from the space crack.
But now, relying on Lin Xuan's cultivation of the Late Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could only display it initially!
