“I can’t use *Extinguishing Heavenly Fire* inside the One Thought Clear Heart Tower anymore,” Lin Yun murmured.
Next, he began studying the second level of *Extinguishing Heavenly Fire*.
…
Lin Yun stayed in the One Thought Clear Heart Tower for a full three years.
Due to the time dilation, only a little over seven months passed outside.
“That’s enough for now.”
Lin Yun stood and left the tower, returning to his training room.
Then, he left the city.
A thousand miles west of the divine capital, in the sky.
“This will do. Time to test its power,” Lin Yun said, a hint of anticipation in his voice.
Since the One Thought Clear Heart Tower couldn’t withstand the might of *Extinguishing Heavenly Fire*, he had to test it outside.
Lin Yun closed his eyes, gathering a spark of fire from his internal organs.
His vast inner force erupted, instantly amplifying the flame.
With a wave of his hand, a blaze surged forward.
Boom!
The firelight roared, its dazzling brilliance outshining the sun in the sky. Where the flames spread, space seemed to burn away.
Lin Yun produced a super-divine weapon and tossed it into the fire.
The moment it touched the flames, the weapon turned to ash.
“Third Level: Annihilation Phase Fire!”
“Not bad!”
Lin Yun flashed a satisfied smile.
In *Extinguishing Heavenly Fire*, the fire’s source lay within the body.
The Annihilation Phase Fire was ignited by the fire of the organs. Strong organs meant a strong Phase Fire.
Lin Yun’s organs were exceptionally robust, making his fire potent. This allowed him to learn the technique smoothly, with formidable power.
After three years in the tower, he had mastered the third level of *Extinguishing Heavenly Fire*.
As for the fourth level, he couldn’t study it yet.
Only upon reaching the Saint Realm could he cultivate the fourth level.
“Right, let’s try combining it with the Dragon Art!”
Lin Yun surged his inner force, activating the Ultimate Dragon Art, transforming it into powerful dragon qi.
The next moment, he unleashed the Annihilation Phase Fire again.
Boom!
Flames erupted, condensing into a massive fire dragon that surged forward.
“The power is indeed much stronger!” Lin Yun grinned.
The Dragon Art converted his inner force into dragon qi, essentially a transformed version of inner force.
Using this dragon qi to fuel *Extinguishing Heavenly Fire* significantly enhanced its effect.
“Next, to the Divine Mansion.”
Lin Yun calculated the time. The True Sacred Artifact from the Heavenly Fire Temple was due soon, so he planned to wait at the Divine Mansion.
He headed straight there.
…
Three months later, inside the Rule Room of the Divine Mansion.
While awaiting the True Sacred Artifact, Lin Yun chose to cultivate and comprehend rules here.
The Rule Room aided in understanding rules, which could help him break through to the Saint Realm.
Though he now had a way to deal with the Demon Lord, Lin Yun didn’t dare slack on his pursuit of the Saint Realm.
Buzz!
A sudden disturbance in the Divine Mansion snapped Lin Yun out of his cultivation.
“What’s that?”
“Could the True Sacred Artifact have arrived?”
A spark of anticipation lit up Lin Yun’s face.
The timing was about right for its delivery.
He quickly stood and left the Rule Room.
In the Divine Mansion’s main hall, a massive vortex had appeared in midair, radiating dazzling light.
“Captain.”
The stone statue guards and the Black Mist Man bowed as Lin Yun emerged.
“Is the True Sacred Artifact arriving?” Lin Yun asked.
“Yes,” the Black Mist Man nodded.
Just then, a figure emerged from the vortex, landing before them.
It was a man with dark skin and a cold expression.
Lin Yun looked at him, surprised.
“Isn’t this supposed to be the True Sacred Artifact?” he asked, astonished.
“I am it,” the cold man replied.
Clearly, the True Sacred Artifact had taken human form.
It looked at Lin Yun. “You must be Lin Yun, right?”
“That’s me,” Lin Yun confirmed.
“Remember, you have only one chance to use me. What weapon do you wield?” the cold man asked.
“A sword,” Lin Yun answered.
The man leaped into the air, transforming into a sleek, black sword that landed before Lin Yun.
“So miraculous?” Lin Yun marveled as it turned into a sword.
Could this True Sacred Artifact transform into any type of weapon, with limitless forms?
Lin Yun grabbed it.
“It doesn’t feel special,” he said, noting only its weight, nothing extraordinary.
“You’ll know my power when you truly use me,” the sword spoke.
Lin Yun understood. He couldn’t control this weapon freely; it would only activate when it chose to.
After securing the True Sacred Artifact, Lin Yun’s eyes gleamed with excitement. “Now, we can act.”
With the True Sacred Artifact in hand, he could finally confront the Demon Lord.
The great battle was about to begin.
This time, it was the human race’s turn to counterattack the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Lin Yun swiftly left the Divine Mansion, heading for the Heavenly God Palace.
On the way, he sent word to Palace Master Mo Bai, Vice Palace Master Yao, and Emperor Fire Cloud about acquiring the True Sacred Artifact, urging them to prepare.
At the same time, he crushed the communication jade slip, signaling Little Green Dragon.
It would take time for Little Green Dragon to muster the Dragon Clan and travel to the mainland.
…
In the Dragon Clan’s Dragon Emperor Palace, in the council hall.
Little Green Dragon was meeting with several elders.
He suddenly stood. “It’s finally time,” he said with a smile, having received the signal.
“Dragon Emperor, what’s happening?” the Great Elder asked, puzzled.
“Issue my command at once: the four Dragon Palaces are to assemble immediately and march to the mainland!” Little Green Dragon ordered.
…
Five days later, in the Heavenly God Palace’s main hall.
Emperor Fire Cloud, Emperor Tian Qian, Empress Kun Lan, the current Xingwu Empire Emperor Li Tian, the Shadow Hall Master, the Carefree Tower Master, the Taixu Tavern Master, and the Ancient Gate Master were all gathered.
At that moment, Palace Master Mo Bai and Vice Palace Master Yao stood at the front of the hall.
“Palace Master Mo, Vice Palace Master Yao, why have you suddenly summoned us? Is something major happening?” the Carefree Tower Master asked, puzzled.
The delivery of the True Sacred Artifact from the Heavenly Fire Temple was top secret, so those present, including the Carefree Tower Master, were unaware.
