Immediately after, Lin Yun stood up abruptly.
“What a peculiar sensation.”
Lin Yun felt every particle in his body radiating boundless vitality.
This was the Immortal Divine Body!
After achieving the Immortal Divine Body, Lin Yun’s physical strength underwent a qualitative leap!
Not only could he unleash even greater power, but his defence also reached an extraordinarily formidable level, his body almost indestructible!
Even if Lin Yun’s head were severed, it could regrow!
To completely annihilate Lin Yun, the opponent’s strength would need to vastly surpass his, capable of utterly shattering his body!
“If I faced the Demon Lord now, I would have no fear,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Though his current attacks couldn’t threaten the Demon Lord, and he might be at a disadvantage in a fight, with his formidable physical defence, the Demon Lord would struggle to kill him.
Of course, if the Demon Lord’s strength advanced further, Lin Yun wouldn’t dare make assumptions; everything depended on the actual circumstances.
“After achieving the Immortal Divine Body, my chances of passing the ultimate trial of the Heavenly Fire Temple are much greater,” Lin Yun said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Reflecting carefully, Lin Yun realised this attempt had been perilous; he used the second-to-last drop of essence blood to successfully break through. If he hadn’t achieved the Immortal Divine Body this time, he truly couldn’t imagine another way.
…
After leaving the cave dwelling, Lin Yun immediately sought out Little Green Dragon.
“How did it go, kid? Did you succeed this time?” Little Green Dragon asked, visibly excited.
“It worked. My body has reached the Immortal Divine Body!” Lin Yun grinned.
“Really? Haha, that’s fantastic!” Little Green Dragon was overjoyed at the news.
Little Green Dragon knew how powerful the Immortal Divine Body was.
“Little Green Dragon, I converted all those resources into Qiankun Crystal Stones. Here,” Lin Yun said, handing over the storage conch.
“Kid, what’s your next plan?” Little Green Dragon asked, taking the storage conch.
“It’s complicated,” Lin Yun said, his expression growing serious.
He then told Little Green Dragon about the Heavenly Fire Temple.
This was a great secret, not to be shared lightly, but Lin Yun trusted Little Green Dragon completely.
“The Ancestral Land? Such a place exists?” Little Green Dragon was shocked by the revelation.
“Yes, it’s a place where one can escape the punishment of the Heavenly Dao rules. It should be quite intriguing. As for the Saint Realm, it must be a remarkable realm,” Lin Yun mused.
“Kid, this is your opportunity!” Little Green Dragon said.
Lin Yun nodded. “Yes, I want to keep improving. For now, the only way is through the Heavenly Fire Temple, but the ultimate trial is indeed challenging.”
…
After staying with the Dragon Clan for two more days, Lin Yun set off to return to the mainland.
After learning about the Demon Lord’s bloody cultivation methods, Little Green Dragon didn’t keep Lin Yun. It knew Lin Yun needed to focus on cultivation, with the Demon Lord as a constant threat hanging over the human race.
Upon returning to the mainland, Lin Yun didn’t immediately attempt the ultimate trial again.
Having challenged it twice, he was fully aware of its terrifying difficulty.
Though the Immortal Divine Body brought him closer to the goal, it still wasn’t enough to reach the end; the trial’s difficulty was undeniable.
Back on the mainland, Lin Yun headed straight for Tianji Mountain and re-entered the Sword Chamber of the Thousand Mechanisms Secret Room.
This time, Lin Yun resolved to focus on studying swordsmanship.
…
Time passed, and four hundred years flew by like a flick of the fingers.
“That’s it!”
Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes and swung his sword.
Boom!
The sword, with immense penetrating power, tore through space, flashing out at astonishing speed!
“Haha, I did it!”
Lin Yun sheathed his sword, his face beaming with excitement.
For over four hundred years, Lin Yun had been practising his swordsmanship relentlessly!
How could he make his sword techniques more powerful?
Lin Yun tried countless times, observing and comprehending the thousand stone pillars here countless times.
At the same time, while practising, Lin Yun abandoned using internal energy, relying solely on his physical strength!
When Lin Yun was afflicted with the Soul-Breaking Poison and couldn’t use internal energy, he never stopped practising his sword.
That period of practice greatly inspired him.
Normally, people used internal energy to wield weapons, as if the two were inherently linked.
Lin Yun sought to return to simplicity, to purity, freeing the sword from the influence of internal energy to better approach its mysteries and feel its essence more clearly.
Even so, achieving a major breakthrough in swordsmanship was incredibly difficult.
Over these four hundred years, Lin Yun tried countless times, enduring countless failures.
As time passed and failures mounted, Lin Yun felt he was getting closer to success.
Just moments ago, he finally achieved a breakthrough in his swordsmanship.
“This third move, I’ll call it Cloud-Piercing Style,” Lin Yun said, smiling.
This move, with its immense penetrating power, was aptly named.
For this move, Lin Yun had spent a full four hundred years!
Then, Lin Yun left the Sword Chamber.
Next, he would attempt the ultimate trial again.
With the Immortal Divine Body and the Cloud-Piercing Style, Lin Yun felt his chances were good!
Soon, Lin Yun stood before the massive stone gate.
“Phew…”
Lin Yun took a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous.
He knew if he failed this time, further improving his strength would be incredibly difficult!
Many aspects of his cultivation had already reached their limits, with no room for improvement.
Unless he reached the Saint Realm.
“Go in.”
Lin Yun stepped through the stone gate.
The corridor passage appeared before him once more.
“Charge!”
Lin Yun drew his sword and rushed into the corridor.
Boom!
As soon as he entered the corridor, the powerful suppression from the formation instantly pressed upon him.
“This suppression affects me less than before!” Lin Yun’s eyes lit up.
After achieving the Immortal Divine Body, his body’s resistance to pressure had greatly improved.
With the formation’s suppression weakened, it was as if he had grown stronger!
Buzz buzz buzz!
As Lin Yun stepped into the corridor, shadows coalesced ahead, charging at him with ferocious attacks.
Lin Yun gripped his sword, his internal energy surging, transformed by the Dragon Art into powerful dragon energy.
