Chapter 691 - 690: Breakthrough to the Spirit Realm

Chapter 691: Chapter 690: Breakthrough to the Spirit Realm

Slowly, Lin Yun opened his eyes and sensed the overwhelming Celestial Punishment gathering in the sky. But in the next moment, his gaze fell upon the fading, illusory form of the Cyan Dragon.

"Elder Cyan Dragon..." Lin Yun called out, his eyes fixed on the vanishing figure.

"Young man, the path of Divine Demon Cultivation is a difficult one. I hope you can be the first to see it through to the end," the Cyan Dragon said with a smile, looking at Lin Yun.

After a brief pause, the Cyan Dragon looked at the two Jade Boxes on the table and said, "Inside, you’ll find a Divine Level Cultivation Technique and a Martial Skill, along with some Elixirs from the Ancient Golden Era. They should be useful to you. Take them."

With those words, the Cyan Dragon’s figure slowly vanished before Lin Yun’s eyes. And so, the great powerhouse who had silently guarded the Celestial Spirit Continent for countless eons finally faded from the world.

The Cyan Dragon was gone. For him, perhaps this was a release. Having lost his life long ago, he had remained as just a wisp of a residual soul, guarding the Cyan Dragon Palace for an unknown number of years. Perhaps fading away was the best possible end for him.

After the Cyan Dragon vanished, Lin Yun stood in a daze for a moment before stowing away the two Jade Boxes from the table. Then, a black hole materialized in front of him. Before Lin Yun could react, it sucked him in.

Meanwhile, in the Mysterious Forest, a black hole suddenly appeared high above the main hall of the ruins. Before the people from the Flawless Palace could react, Lin Yun was violently ejected from it, as if he’d been thrown.

Seeing Lin Yun’s figure, a Supreme Elder from the Flawless Palace cried out in shock, "Lin Yun...!"

News of Lin Yun’s return quickly reached Luo Feng and the others, including the Qingfeng Saint and Flowing Water Saint, who had been waiting here all this time. One by one, they all shot up into the sky.

However, before anyone could get close to him, a spatial rift tore open above Lin Yun’s head in an instant, releasing an overwhelming celestial pressure.

"Holy crap, is that the Celestial Punishment?" The Monk and Daoist were flying toward Lin Yun alongside Luo Feng’s group. The moment the Monk sensed it, he turned tail and fled without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing the rift above Lin Yun’s head, everyone else turned and fled as well. Lin Yun was breaking through to the Spirit Realm, and no one wanted to be caught up in his Celestial Punishment.

It had been six months since he’d last seen Luo Feng. It should have been a time for a joyous reunion over drinks, but the current situation certainly didn’t allow for it. The Celestial Punishment had fully formed, and within it, streaks of red lightning raged.

Looking up at the Celestial Punishment, Lin Yun’s gaze remained calm. The Elemental Power of his Spirit Realm Minor Achievement cultivation surged skyward. Simultaneously, an incredibly pure Dragon’s Suppression erupted from within him.

Sensing Lin Yun’s current aura, even Luo Feng was stunned. It wasn’t the breakthrough to the Spirit Realm that shocked him, but rather the Dragon’s Suppression emanating from Lin Yun.

Luo Feng and the others had never seen a true Divine Dragon, but they had sensed Long Wei before. On the Celestial Spirit Continent, some Demon Beasts possessed a trace of draconic bloodline—the Heaven-Swallowing Python, for example.

These Demon Beasts also possessed a trace of Dragon’s Suppression, but compared to the Long Wei emanating from Lin Yun, it simply paled in comparison.

The Long Wei radiating from Lin Yun was the genuine article—incredibly pure and majestic. Just sensing this pressure created an irresistible urge to kneel in submission.

"Good heavens, what kind of inheritance did Young Master Lin receive? To possess such pure Long Wei..." the Monk said, staring up at Lin Yun in the sky.

As everyone watched in shock, the Celestial Punishment finally descended. The first strike took the form of a colossal lightning dragon. A thousand meters long, it roared and charged at Lin Yun.

Facing the colossal lightning dragon, the Long Wei radiating from Lin Yun grew even more potent. At the same time, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear appeared in his hand.

As if sensing the Long Wei within Lin Yun, the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear began to tremble violently. Faintly, the cry of a dragon echoed from it.

"Dual Dragon World Destruction." With a low shout, without even needing to gather power, the moment the words left his lips, two Dragon Shadows burst forth from the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear.

These two Dragon Shadows were vastly different from those produced by his previous uses of Dual Dragon World Destruction. This time, the Dragon Shadows seemed to carry a trace of Long Wei themselves. They were also more solid and strikingly lifelike.

The two Dragon Shadows charged the colossal lightning dragon, latching onto its body with their jaws. The three frenzied dragons began a great battle in the sky.

Watching Lin Yun face the first strike of the Celestial Punishment so calmly, Luo Feng and the others felt that he had changed. ’Even his own master would probably feel pressured by him now,’ Luo Feng thought. ’I certainly do.’

Before everyone’s eyes, the two Dragon Shadows brutally tore the lightning dragon to shreds before slowly dissipating themselves.

This was merely the first strike of the Celestial Punishment. After shattering the lightning dragon, Lin Yun did not let his guard down, his eyes remaining fixed on the rift above.

After only a few breaths, over a hundred Warriors formed from solidified lightning charged out of the rift above Lin Yun’s head.

An intense pressure radiated from these hundred-odd Lightning Warriors, felt not only by Lin Yun but even by Luo Feng and the others. Off to the side, the Flowing Water Saint paused in surprise before chuckling. "To think that a Spirit Realm Celestial Punishment could summon Lightning Warriors..."

In the experience of the Flowing Water Saint and the Qingfeng Saint, these Warriors formed from lightning only appeared during a breakthrough to the Earth Saint Realm. At least, that’s how it had been for them.

Yet Lin Yun had summoned the Lightning Warrior tribulation while only at the Spirit Realm. It was clear just how "highly" the heavens regarded him.

Facing the hundred-plus Lightning Warriors, Lin Yun’s expression remained unchanged. Instead of waiting for them to attack, he charged forward, Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear in hand.

He took the initiative, attacking the Lightning Warriors, and the two sides were quickly locked in a fierce battle. Lin Yun’s Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear stabbed out again and again, its shaft wreathed in violet flames.

Even besieged by a hundred Lightning Warriors, Lin Yun held his own. After all, every single one of those Lightning Warriors possessed the Combat Power of the Spirit Realm Minor Achievement stage.

And here was Lin Yun, facing a hundred Spirit Realm Minor Achievement Lightning Warriors all by himself. Even if they were considered the weakest type of Spirit Realm Minor Achievement Warrior, the pressure of fighting one against a hundred was still immense.

Watching Lin Yun battle the hundred Lightning Warriors, everyone realized his Combat Power had become even more terrifying.

Moreover, his physical body seemed stronger too. Several times, the Lightning Warriors clearly landed hits on him, yet he appeared completely unharmed, his own attacks never faltering for even a moment.

"Little Brother, you’re making me more and more curious," the Flowing Water Saint said with a light laugh as she watched Lin Yun battle the hundred Lightning Warriors. "To have such outrageously powerful Combat Power right after breaking through to the Spirit Realm... what kind of inheritance did you receive?"
