Chapter 656: Chapter 656

Chapter 656

In the hazy dusk of twilight, clouds had covered the sky. Sitting beside the bonfire, Lin Yun toyed with the Profound Lightning Bead in his hand and muttered, “No wonder this is a precious treasure. There’s still one-third lightning energy left even after half a month…”

He had already left the Thundercloud Treasury for twenty days and he would spend about five hours every day refining the Profound Lightning Bead with the Azure Dragon Enneaform.

The effect was pretty good as his Azure Dragon Enneaform had been improved quite smoothly. After all, this was a lot better than the beast core of a lightning attributed demonic beast. As he cultivated, more secrets began to appear from body-refining martial technique. Purple lightning runes had started to appear and spread out around the Azure Dragon Mark that slowly strengthened his physique.

After a series of experiments, Lin Yun discovered that the lightning runes weren’t the same as those manifested from his own strength. He now had thirty cauldron’s worth of strength, which had converted to eighteen lightning runes. There were still twelve lightning runes left and he speculated that he should be able to completely convert his strength after refining all the remaining lighting energy in the Profound Lightning Bead.

After that, he wouldn’t have to convert anymore as any increase in his strength would come from the Azure Dragon Enneaform. Lin Yun clenched his fist tightly and soared into the sky before throwing out a punch.

In the next second, the Azure Dragon Mark on his heart emitted a purple light and the eighteen lightning runes came to life as they crawled on the surface of Lin Yun’s body, moving towards his arm with surging power.

Along with a rumbling lightning, a three thousand meters crater appeared on the ground with dust flying through the air. At the bottom of the crater, one could still see lightning flickering. This left a satisfied expression on Lin Yun’s face because this punch could confront a pinnacle lesser Yin-Yang stage expert. However, he didn’t know if it would give him an advantage against those geniuses on the inner ranking.

After all, the geniuses on the inner ranking could already transcend the gap of cultivation to kill stronger experts. The inner ranking was a whole new world.

Although he still couldn’t be sure for now, he was confident that if all thirty cauldron’s worth of strength was converted into lightning runes, he could face everyone with his sword intent and Iris Sword Sutra.

Right at this moment, the roar of a violent beast echoed out as a demonic beast shrouded in demonic aura appeared. This demonic beast had the appearance of a bull since it was covered with thick black fur and had a horn on its head. Whenever it breathed, it would breathe out steam. One peculiar thing about the bull was that it had claws on its hooves.

“Fiendhorn Brutebull?” Lin Yun was surprised when he saw the demonic beast. He didn’t expect that a casual punch of his would land in the Fiendhorn Brutebull’s territory.

For the swamp, the Fiendhorn Brutebull was considered a rather powerful elite demonic beast. Aside from those in the pinnacle lesser Yin-Yang stage, who could confidently defeat the Fiendhorn Brutebull, those in the lesser Yin-Yang stage would have a headache facing the Fiendhorn Brutebull.

It wasn’t because it was terrifying, but its thick fur was a powerful natural armor that could isolate most origin energy. But since he had run into it, Lin Yun naturally had to play with it.

Lin Yun smiled as he waved his hand. In the next second, nine silver shuttles connected together to form a short spear. This was the Profound Lightning Shuttle that Lin Yun obtained in the Thundercloud Treasury. This spiritual artifact could be easily controlled and assembled.

The Profound Lightning Shuttles rotated as lightning flickered in the air.

Looking at the Fiendhorn Brutebull charging at him, the Profound Lightning Shuttles spun even more violently. Suddenly, Lin Yun raised his hand as he accumulated his xiantian sword intent in his middle finger.

“Go!” When the Fiendhorn Brutebull was about to reach him, the Profound Lightning Shuttles disappeared. When they reappeared, they exploded with dazzling lightning that pierced through the Fiendhorn Brutebull. Fresh blood splattered out and the Fiendhorn Brutebull’s aura fell.

Lin Yun spread his arms apart and soared into the sky to throw a punch. The Azure Dragon Mark on his chest lit up as eighteen lightning runes started pouring into his right fist. Along with a lightning rumble, his punch landed on the Fiendhorn Brutebull.

Under this punch, the Fiendhorn Brutebull was sent flying. However, Lin Yun didn’t stop and unleashed a barrage of punches on the demonic beast.

Along with a series of explosions, the Fiendhorn Brutebull howled. Fortunately for the Fiendhorn Brutebull, it's thick fur had negated a portion of Lin Yun’s attack. When it landed on the ground, it was still brimming with vitality as it ran away.

Just when Lin Yun was about to chase after it, a purple bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and split the clouds apart. The clouds looked like a waterfall being split into two. This made Lin Yun frown his brows as he came to a stop.

The Profound Lightning Shuttle returned and defended Lin Yun. The bolt of lightning landed on the Fiendhorn Brutebull in the blink of an eye as the colossal bull was torn into pieces from sharp claws. A silver hawk enveloped in lightning opened its mouth and swallowed the Fiendhorn Brutebull’s beast core.

Its colossal figure looked domineering when illuminated by the sunlight. This Silverthunder Demonhawk was a genuine overlord demonic beast of the swamp. It was known for its ferocity and speed that was fast like the wind. Lin Yun had seen it hunt a few times in the distance and many Yin-Yang stage demonic beasts were torn into pieces by it. Lin Yun even speculated that only those in the greater Yin-Yang stage could fight it.

This was still Lin Yun’s first time encountering it. Lin Yun’s heart throbbed violently as he knew it would spell trouble for him if it came after him once it was done feasting on the bull.

But clearly, Lin Yun was overly concerned. After the Silverthunder Demonhawk feasted on the Fiendhorn Brutebull, it glanced at Lin Yun before soaring into the sky. It clearly had no interest in Lin Yun. Then again, it made sense. After all, Lin Yun was only a cultivator in the Yang stage, so Lin Yun was still too weak in the hawk’s eyes.

“I was actually underestimated,” smiled Lin Yun as he rubbed his nose. If he could kill this Silverthunder Demonhawk and refine its beast core, he could instantly refine the twelve remaining lightning runes. At that time, he could bring out about 70% of the Indigoflame Thunderwhip’s power.

“We’ll meet again once I’m done practicing the third move of the Overlord Sword.” Looking at the Silverthunder Demonhawk flying away, Lin Yun’s eyes flashed. He wasn’t afraid of this demonic beast, but it was too fast. It could easily escape before Lin Yun could even bring out his trump cards. So he could only rely on the Overlord Sword if he wanted to take this demonic beast down quickly.

Seven days later, two youths stood side by side as demonic beasts occasionally charged out from the dense mist. The youths were strong and they instantly killed all the demonic beasts that charged out. This was especially true for the youth who used a crimson whip. When he brandished it, the whip crackled in his hand like a viper.

“This place really has a lot of demonic beasts!” The other youth fought with his barefists as lightning enveloped his body.

“There’s no other way if we want to enter the Thunder Prefecture as quickly as possible. If I remember correctly, you’re the one who chose this path,” smiled the youth who used the whip.

“How was I supposed to know that the demonic beasts here would be so troublesome?” asked the youth named Guo Xu. But even so, they were handling the demonic beasts easily.

An hour later, the tide of demonic beasts retreated after leaving behind a pile of corpses. The youth called Guo Xu fell onto the ground as he gasped for his breath, while the youth who used a whip was rather calm. It didn’t look like he exhausted much of his strength.

“Who’s there?!” Just when the youth with the whip was about to speak, his eyes flashed coldly and his whip came to life.

This made Guo Xu, who was on the ground, become alert as he looked up ahead cautiously. They could both sense that what was about to appear from the forest was trouble, regardless if it were demonic beasts or cultivators.

As the two looked forward with caution, a figure slowly walked out. When they saw a youth approach them, they were surprised. Then, the newcomer smiled, “What a coincidence meeting you guys here.”

The newcomer was Lin Yun who was attracted by the noise. But he didn’t expect to see his two acquaintances. The acquaintances were Guo Xu and Yang Fan, who were geniuses on the outer ranking that he met back in the Withernorth Sea. Guo Xu even nearly died in his hands.

When they saw Lin Yun, they were very surprised. Yang Fan quickly calmed down after his initial shock. As for Guo Xu, his chest ached when he saw Lin Yun. His eyes flashed with deep hatred, but he gnashed his teeth and soon ignored it.

Two months ago, Lin Yun killed three experts in the lesser Yin-Yang stage. Two months had passed, and Lin Yun could only be even more powerful. When Lin Yun saw the changes on their faces, he merely smiled and had no ripples on his face.

“What a coincidence. It seems like you’re headed for the Thunder Prefecture as well,” said Yang Fan after a long while. He had a rather good impression about Lin Yun. After all, Lin Yun had killed Qin An, who he hated.

Lin Yun nodded his head. He could guess that Guo Xu and Yang Fan were also intending to head to the Thunder Prefecture judging from the fact that they wanted to pass through the swamp.

Seeing Lin Yun nod his head, Yang Fan hesitated as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he finally spoke, “Lin Yun, did you know that the Bloodwing Pavilion has been annihilated?”

Lin Yun’s heart jolted when he heard the news. The Bloodwing Pavilion was annihilated?
