By then, even the Elders of the Great Immortal Sects might not be able to do anything to him.
"You just realized? If you came out any later, I might have broken through to the Tribulation Crossing Stage already!"
Lin Chang’sheng said proudly.
"So what? Without me protecting you, you’d be dead already!"
Xiaobai retorted.
But what she said was the absolute truth; during countless crises, Xiaobai was the one who got him out of danger.
That’s why Lin Chang’sheng had given her a portion of the Celestial Spirit Divine Marrow to replenish her Immortal Power.
"Hmm? Someone’s coming!"
Xiaobai suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching fast.
"The Demon Race is here so soon?"
Lin Chang’sheng was taken aback; Xiaobai had only just come out, and they were already traced here?
"Not Demon Race! It’s a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing cultivator!"
Xiaobai stated the enemy’s realm; at that level, Lin Chang’sheng might not be able to handle it.
"You’d better run! I’m not going to help you when he catches up!"
As Xiaobai finished speaking, she dove straight into the Spirit Beast Bag.
"A Late Stage Tribulation Crossing expert? What Sect are they from? Immortal Martial Hall? Celestial Nether Sword Sect?"
Lin Chang’sheng muttered to himself. No matter who it was, since they’d come knocking, he’d be sure to "greet" them properly.
After all, Lin Chang’sheng had refined a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet; it wasn’t like he was powerless.
Lin Chang’sheng took out a drop of Divine Liquid and swallowed it immediately.
He absorbed the Divine Liquid to temper his body as he waited for his opponent.
As the Divine Liquid entered his system, Lin Chang’sheng felt a cool sensation sweep through his entire body, followed by an intense surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi spreading out, nourishing every limb, bone, and vein.
It felt like his whole body had risen to a new level.
Crack, crack, crack—
As his physical form strengthened, Lin Chang’sheng could clearly hear the sounds of transformation rippling through his body.
It lasted about five breaths before it finally ceased.
Once the strengthening finished, Lin Chang’sheng felt more than twice as powerful as before.
Plenty of Spiritual Energy surged straight to his crown, instantly enhancing his Divine Sense.
Lin Chang’sheng released his Divine Sense, and its range immediately expanded by twenty thousand li, reaching a total of a hundred thousand li.
This kind of Divine Sense was already on par with Mid Stage Tribulation Crossing.
"As expected of Divine Liquid!"
Lin Chang’sheng sighed with deep emotion.
But the Divine Liquid’s effects didn’t stop there. As his body and Divine Sense rose, Lin Chang’sheng circulated his Cultivation Technique to devour the Spiritual Energy within, his cultivation rising ceaselessly.
At the same time, his life span was instantly extended by five thousand years.
To say this Divine Liquid could raise the dead wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all.
Not only could someone with just a thread of life recover completely, but their life span would also be boosted by five thousand years, giving those about to reach the Hao Zhix bottleneck a huge hope of breaking through.
Plus, the refined body would yield twice the results with half the effort in future cultivation, massively accelerating progress.
As the time ticked by, after half an Hour, Lin Chang’sheng had fully absorbed all the Spiritual Qi in the Divine Liquid.
It was a pity he hadn’t reached the bottleneck of Late Stage Mahayana.
But Lin Chang’sheng had only recently broken through to Late Stage Mahayana; if one drop could let him break through again, that’d be too overpowered.
Getting this much improvement already left Lin Chang’sheng extremely satisfied.
"Damn, that felt good!"
Lin Chang’sheng opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and as if reborn.
"Unbelievable—body, Divine Sense, cultivation, and even life span, all increased!"
Just as Lin Chang’sheng finished refining the Divine Liquid, not far off Gu Shan had also completed his refinement, unable to keep from voicing his wonder.
Lin Chang’sheng glanced over to see Gu Shan looking completely renewed, as if ten years younger.
Power emanated from his body, with bulging muscles ready to explode at any moment.
Especially his fists, several sizes larger than a normal person’s.
"I thought this lifetime making it to the Tribulation Crossing Stage was hopeless! Seems becoming an Immortal Realm cultivator isn’t out of reach after all!"
Gu Shan laughed.
The Divine Liquid had not only overhauled his constitution, but extended his life by five thousand years.
He felt hope for immortality all at once.
"Lin Chang’sheng, come out!"
Just as Lin Chang’sheng and Gu Shan finished absorbing the Divine Liquid—
From the distant horizon came a roar, thunderous as Lei Ming himself.
Lin Chang’sheng knew immediately—this had to be the person Xiaobai warned him about.
Without hiding anymore, Lin Chang’sheng strode right outside.
On top of the far-off mountain, a middle-aged man in a Golden Robe stood tall.
The moment he saw Lin Chang’sheng, he blinked forward, appearing right before him, sizing him up from head to toe.
"Not bad, not bad! A rare genius in a thousand years—at your age, to have reached Late Stage Mahayana? Truly impressive!"
Luo Juetian murmured in admiration as he sized Lin Chang’sheng up, like he’d discovered a flawless treasure.
"On top of that, both your physical body and Divine Sense are already on par with the Tribulation Crossing Stage—exceptional! Truly exceptional!"
Luo Juetian sang his praises nonstop.
He almost forgot that Guo Tiangang had sent him out for a reason!
"You didn’t come here just to flatter me, did you?"
Lin Chang’sheng asked curiously.
The man’s strength was daunting; he didn’t dare let his guard down.
His opponent was at Late Stage Tribulation Crossing, a match for Tang Zhongming at the very least.
"Right, almost forgot. Is Miss Yunchu here with you?"
Luo Juetian asked, glancing around, but didn’t spot Guo Yunchu anywhere.
"She’s alive for now. Who knows after a bit!"
Lin Chang’sheng admitted without hesitation.
"As long as Miss Yunchu’s with you, that makes things easier. Come back to Immortal Martial Hall with me and you’ll be fine; I can ask the Hall Master to be lenient!"
Luo Juetian said offhandedly, as if Lin Chang’sheng would obey him just like that.
He genuinely admired Lin Chang’sheng; as long as a prodigy like this survived, their future achievements would be limitless.
So he hadn’t attacked right away.
If it had been anyone else, he wouldn’t have wasted so many words—he’d have struck already.
"What if I refuse?"
Lin Chang’sheng shot back.
"Refuse? Well, that’d be troublesome. You might lose your life over that."
Luo Juetian’s voice turned cold.
"Killing me won’t be so easy—try getting past my Corpse Puppet first!"
Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand and summoned the Corpse Puppet forth.
The moment the Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet appeared, the air for ten li was flooded with thick, chilling Corpse Evil Qi.
"So it is a Tribulation Crossing Stage Corpse Puppet—at Late Stage, no less! Unbelievable!"
Luo Juetian exclaimed, his curiosity toward Lin Chang’sheng growing stronger.
How did a Mahayana Cultivator manage to refine a Late Stage Tribulation Crossing Corpse Puppet?
"If I can defeat your Corpse Puppet, will you come with me?"
Luo Juetian pressed.
"Of course!"
Lin Chang’sheng answered decisively.
"Very good!"
Luo Juetian responded briskly, then shot a fist straight at the Corpse Puppet.
As his fist blasted forward, the whole space distorted, and a massive Fist Aura crashed toward the Corpse Puppet.
The Corpse Puppet, under Lin Chang’sheng’s control, swung its fist right back at Luo Juetian.
BOOM—
In the next instant, man and corpse’s Fist Auras collided midair with an earth-shattering bang.
Amid the deafening blast, not only did Luo Juetian fail to repel the Corpse Puppet, he was actually forced back a hundred meters, crushing the rocks beneath his feet before he could steady himself.
"What a formidable body!"
Luo Juetian couldn’t help but marvel at the Corpse Puppet’s sheer strength.
With a wave, he summoned a Nine-Ring Long Saber—longer than an average blade but shorter than the two-handed Yanyue Saber.
"A Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure?"
When Lin Chang’sheng spotted the Immortal Treasure in Luo Juetian’s hand, his heart sank.
Since Luo Juetian wielded a Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, he could break through the Corpse Puppet’s defenses and deal it some real damage.
The Corpse Puppet might not be able to hold him back after all.
"Divine Flame Realm!"
Lin Chang’sheng instantly unleashed his Divine Flame Realm to suppress Luo Juetian’s speed.
"Domain Power?"
Luo Juetian was shocked to find his movements suppressed by Lin Chang’sheng’s Domain Power.
At this age, Lin Chang’sheng had already mastered Domain Power?
This was a Divine Power that even many Tribulation Crossing experts failed to comprehend!
