Chapter 499: The Terrifying Fate Blade
About three hundred kilometers from the Kunlun Mountains, there is a lake called Kuse Lake. Beside Kuse Lake stands a wooden courtyard. One day, a heavy-footed young man walked through the front door of the courtyard! This person is none other than Lin Wushuang!
“Thud!” Lin Wushuang knelt heavily on the ground in front of the door, making a dull sound and kicking up a cloud of dust… “Master, I have failed again!” Lin Wushuang clenched his fists, his expression filled with frustration and anger!
“Creak~” At that moment, the courtyard door suddenly opened without any wind. Lin Wushuang felt his body lifted by a mysterious force, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in a secret space. This space was filled with the sounds of birds and fragrant flowers, resembling a paradise.
Not far away, an old man with white hair was sitting cross-legged! The old man appeared to be around seventy or eighty years old, looking quite ordinary without any celestial demeanor, but his eyes were deep and terrifying.
“With the Dragon Pattern Blade bestowed by your master, how could you still fail? Tell me everything that happened…” the old man inquired.
“It’s like this…” Lin Wushuang hurriedly recounted everything, including the events that took place at the banquet in the Black Kun Hotel. The old man’s deep-set eyes flickered slightly, as if he were pondering something!
“My good disciple, if what you say is true, then this person’s strength should not be underestimated; he may have already reached the Void Refinement stage!”
“However, you have just begun your path. Even with my Nirvana technique to assist your rebirth and the supreme treasure, the Dragon Pattern Blade, enhancing your combat power, it is still impossible for you to defeat someone at the Void Refinement stage!” The old man shook his head slightly.
“But Master! Defeating Lin Feng has been my lifelong obsession; I cannot fail him, or I will find it hard to cultivate in peace!” Lin Wushuang was filled with sorrow and anger, his voice trembling.
Just thinking about Lin Feng’s disdainful gaze made his heart feel like it was about to shatter! That was the greatest sorrow in the world! He regarded Lin Feng as his greatest rival, while Lin Feng saw him as an insignificant ant…
“Sigh! Sometimes, being too obsessed is not a good thing. The path of immortality is about having an open mind and moving forward without hesitation!” The old man sighed.
“Alright, alright! Since you are so eager to defeat this person, I will assist you once more. As long as you wield my life blade, you can cut down those at the Void Refinement stage!”
“But remember, do not make a big fuss! To avoid attracting unknown calamities, even I may not be able to save you then!”
With that, the old man lightly pointed, and a long blade shimmering with a faint golden light appeared before Lin Wushuang.
Lin Wushuang picked up the long blade, and at once, his spirit shook, feeling a sense of unity between blade and person, as if what he held was not merely a blade, but a manifestation of the principles of heaven and earth, the culmination of his master’s lifelong pursuit!
Is this the master’s life blade? It is the supreme artifact nurtured by his master’s blood and soul!
“Hahaha, with this blade, Lin Feng, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant!” Lin Wushuang was filled with excitement, but he still asked, “Master, what do you mean by unknown calamities?”
“Cannot say!” The old man glanced at the boundless sky and shook his head slightly.
…
A day later, Lin Wushuang, filled with confidence, held the life blade and arrived alone at the Jiang family.
“Let Lin Feng come out!” Lin Wushuang stood in front of the Jiang family, his expression cold, like a merciless swordsman.
“You are not my little junior brother’s opponent; why must you humiliate yourself?” Jiang Yanxi looked at Lin Wushuang with pity.
Lin Wushuang’s expression turned icy as he summoned his master’s life long blade, hovering above his head.
Suddenly, golden light surged, and endless blade energy burst forth, as if it aimed to slay everything. The terrifying blade intent felt like a dreadful manifestation of a supreme swordsman’s killing intent!
“What… is this?”
“What a terrifying blade intent! Who has come to our Jiang family?”
“This is no simple blade intent; it resembles a manifestation of a principle. I’ve heard that when one’s body and soul reach perfection, they will enter a state of perfect unity, at which point they begin to comprehend their own principle to prepare for transcending tribulations and becoming immortal!”
(Ps: To clarify again: Before the Nascent Soul stage, one refines the body; after exiting the body, one refines the soul. After the unity of soul and body, one begins to comprehend the Dao, which is the Mahayana stage. Comprehending one’s own principle is forbidden by the Heavenly Dao, so the Heavenly Dao will bring down great tribulations, which is the tribulation of transcendence.)
In an instant, the entire Jiang family was shaken!
Jiang Taichu, the ancient ancestors of the Jiang family… even the protective array of the Jiang family activated on its own, emitting a faint glow, as if facing a great enemy that could annihilate their clan.
“Isn’t this a junior of the Lin family? What brings you here?” Jiang Taichu looked at the life blade above Lin Wushuang’s head, his expression extremely serious.
With his knowledge, how could he not recognize that this was a weapon of a Mahayana stage expert?
In the Mahayana stage, even in ancient times, one would be considered a super expert. Even when he had his Five Elements spiritual roots, he would have to bow respectfully upon encountering such an existence!
If only he had had a Mahayana stage cultivator to help him back then, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a predicament!
What puzzled him was where Lin Wushuang had obtained a life artifact from a Mahayana stage expert?
Could it be…
As he thought of something, a look of shock crossed Jiang Taichu’s eyes.
“Bring Lin Feng out! I want to fight him to the death!” Lin Wushuang’s expression was resolute.
He had adjusted his breathing for an entire night, and his physical condition had returned to its peak. Now, with his master’s life artifact by his side, he was sure he could defeat Lin Feng!
“My little junior brother has been gone for over a day. If you wish to challenge him, you may come back another day!” Jiang Yanxi frowned and said.
“Where did he go?” Lin Wushuang’s expression froze.
“We are not sure either…” Jiang Yanxi shook his head.
Transcending tribulations is a matter of life and death for every cultivator; generally, they find a secluded place and wouldn’t announce it to others.
Lin Wushuang’s expression changed, feeling as if he had punched a cotton ball. If Lin Feng was not around, who would he fight?
Just then, “Whoosh~” Two streaks of light suddenly flew from the horizon.
It was Wang Yunlai, a peak expert from the Wang family, who had come to investigate the situation…
Wang Yunlai was a powerful figure in the Wang family, so even though Huang Junyong repeatedly urged him, threatening him with Lin Feng’s wife and daughter, he was still reluctant to do something that would compromise his dignity!
After much thought, he found another transformation expert from his family to come with him to the Jiang family to observe Lin Feng and see if Huang Junyong’s words were true!
“Who?” Lin Wushuang instantly caught sight of this scene, looking towards the sky and coldly questioning.
“Who is Lin Feng? Let him come out quickly…” The newly arrived transformation expert from the Wang family had not yet arrived but was already shouting loudly, his voice shaking the heavens.
However, before he could finish his words, Lin Wushuang sneered, “What are you?”
“Whoosh!” A terrifying blade energy shot out, instantly severing the head of the Wang family’s transformation expert. The blade intent forcefully suppressed him, shredding his soul into countless fragments!
Seeing this scene, Wang Yunlai’s heart sank, and he trembled all over, fleeing towards the distance faster than he had come…
(Damn it!!!)
Indeed, he was that powerful!
No good!
He must find Lin Feng’s wife and children to use as leverage!
A streak of blade energy killing a late-stage transformation expert was no simple feat; he might have already reached the mid to late stages of Void Refinement!
…
“Ignorant little rat, daring to come and stir up trouble!” Lin Wushuang sneered disdainfully.
With his master’s life blade in hand, his confidence swelled to unprecedented levels, and wherever his gaze fell, he saw only ants…
“Since Lin Feng is not here, I will wait for him here at your Jiang family…” Lin Wushuang snorted coldly and sat cross-legged at the entrance of the Jiang family.
At this moment, the members of the Jiang family looked extremely serious.
Clearly, Lin Wushuang’s overall strength had reached an extremely terrifying level!
If Lin Feng were to return, would he be able to defeat him?
With this thought, a hint of worry appeared in the eyes of the Jiang family members.
…
On the other side, in an unknown deep mountain forest, Lin Feng was sitting cross-legged, refining the soul pill in his hand…
Upon closer inspection, his body was enveloped in a faint spiritual aura, and a subtle white light flickered at his brow, making him appear extraordinary.
The Out-of-Body stage is one of the three great tribulations that a cultivator encounters in their lifetime!
Because at this stage, the transformation from body to soul occurs, attracting the first heavenly tribulation, generally known as the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!
The second occurs during the Integration stage, when the soul and body unite, attracting the jealousy of heaven, resulting in the more severe Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!
The third is the legendary Immortal Tribulation, which occurs during the tribulation-transcending period, where the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation descends, leading to either life or death!
