—Finally found you, Voldemort's host.
Li Lin looked into the distance, a smile spreading across his face.
—Well, to be precise, the protohost.
[Kun Yuan Valley] True Disciple, Ding Hongyun.
Li Lin didn't just discover him now; it's just that the special "Dao Body" he achieved caused Li Lin to be constantly blocked on his way to find him.
It was named the "Hong Yun Qi Tian Body".
The Dao Body, forged through the path of good fortune, ranks among the top ten in the Profound Yellow Sacred Body Record.
Ding Hongyun began studying the "Hundred Herbs Record" while at the "Firm Root" stage, abandoning the orthodox path. However, he still prematurely underwent tribulation during the "Integration Stage," achieving the "Four Tribulation Dao Body."
Ding Hongyun's reputation has attracted a lot of attention.
"What? You mean the [Hundred Herbs Record] that Senior Brother Ding is studying as a supplementary text? Are you sure it's not the [Beast Book]?"
"The Lingzhi Immortal Herb takes a hundred years to mature into a horse and a thousand years to mature into a human. If both the horse and the human consume it, it can save them from a thousand years of arduous cultivation. And the spotted snow leopard beneath him is a 'Sesame Corpse Snow Leopard,' a rare Immortal Treasure species among the Lingzhi Immortal Herbs, which grows in an extremely yin place where snow and corpses are scattered all year round."
"Didn't Senior Brother Ding cultivate it himself?"
"Of course not. Before achieving the [Hong Yun Qi Tian Body], Senior Brother Ding was already incredibly fortunate. He came from the extremely cold northern lands and was born into poverty. He fell into an ice cave and not only survived the disaster but was also possessed by Ice Soul, achieving the Postnatal Ice Spirit Body and the eighth level of Qi Refining. He also unexpectedly blood-refined the [Sesame Corpse Snow Leopard] and made it recognize him as its master."
After joining the sect, while on a mission, a simple, innocent smile won over Master Rick and earned him the favor of Mystical Artifact —the [Thunder Gnawing Cloud Pivot]. That was Master Rick's fifth-ranked work, the renowned Rick the Fifth!
"Could that pipe be the 'Thunder Gnawing Cloud Pivot'? Holding a mouthpiece in its mouth, it exhales smoke like the pivot of a cloud, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder."
Indeed.
"These thunderclouds stretch for thousands of feet and are indeed magnificent, but what's so strange about them? I hope it's not their shape."
"Of course not. The wonder lies in these clouds. These clouds can cleanse the spiritual root and physical body internally, strengthen the foundation and cultivate the essence, and restore the innate state. Externally, they can absorb bones and marrow, corrupt the soul and steal the spirit, and impure the heart and weaken the will."
Its power increases with the user's cultivation level. Now, although the smoke and clouds are thin enough to see objects, only the Flawless Seven Tribulation Dao Body, Soulless Spirit Defect, can see them as nothing.
Do you think I'm easy to fool?
"What on earth is this?"
A figure, as small as an ant in the face of the smoke and clouds that filled the entire mountain range, disappeared directly into it, changing the two people's minds.
"Look at Li Lin, wait, you're not lying to me, are you?"
"Of course not, but isn't he only at the [One Tribulation Dao Body] stage?"
How is that possible!
My cousin, the famous "Young Master Furong" Wang Yuan, whose "Heavenly Peak Indestructible Body" has reached the level of "Four Tribulation Dao Body", only accidentally stumbled into it for a single breath, and when he came out, his face was pockmarked.
How come Li Lin is completely unharmed!
This tribulation is comparable to seven tribulations. With Senior Brother Ding's extraordinary luck, how could he possibly encounter such an opponent?
Ding Hongyun was equally shocked at this moment, and exclaimed his usual utterance.
"Mom saved it!"
It should be noted that this cloud of smoke was mixed with the corpse energy of his [Sesame Corpse Snow Leopard], which was pervasive and eroded his life force.
He had already mastered all the supernatural powers on the [Thunder Gnawing Cloud Pivot] and was constantly innovating and developing new ones.
Furthermore, given the presence of the primordial spirit, Dao Heart, and the vibrant, inexhaustible [Profound Yellow Chi], which forms the basis for the smoke and clouds generated, even though Li Lin is a legitimate [Profound Yellow Tribulation] cultivator with a flawless [One Tribulation Dao Body], he should not have remained unscathed in front of it.
"[Cheese Snow Leopard]!"
Seeing Li Lin approach, Ding Hongyun shouted urgently.
The snow leopard's massive and powerful body instantly dissolved into a ghostly blue corpse aura. Its Half-Beast Primordial Spirit, complete with vertical pupils, beast ears, a beast tail, and beast claws, flew away and entered Ding Hongyun's spiritual platform. In the Setsuna that its essence, energy, and spirit became one, its aura increased dramatically.
An invisible and intangible Fortune Power poured out.
The pale, misty fog, Dotty with ice crystals and sparks of electricity, instantly became as thick as Mercury.
However, Li Lin's speed did not slow down at all. He moved like a dragon entering the sea, heading straight for Ding Hongyun.
"These are all my tricks!"
To outsiders, it was just an ordinary palm strike, but to Ding Hongyun, it was the ultimate application of the Way of Fortune.
The blessings of all things are stripped away during this palm strike, leaking into the palm like a funnel.
For the first time, he also experienced what it was like to be without good fortune.
The innocent smile that had always been there crumbled, the illusion of omnipotence vanished, calamity loomed, the energy channels became disordered, and the heart became like a runaway horse, impossible to rein in or let go.
Even though he could simply take a step back, and Li Lin's palm strike wasn't fast, nor did it block out the surroundings, he just couldn't bring himself to take that step.
"Boring. Without luck, you are nothing."
Li Lin's palm stopped, just an inch in front of Ding Hongyun.
He originally intended to force out the remaining Dao energy of the [Dark Magic Fairy], but who would have thought that Ding Hongyun would give up and stop resisting as soon as he left Hongyun.
"Shift of Stars."
Only Li Lin, the [Artifact Immortal], could see the Bright White Jade Slip shining brightly on his spiritual platform. All the star gods closed their star palaces, and the brilliant sea of stars disappeared, leaving only darkness, a deathly silence, and not a trace of light.
"The Way of the Dark Magic Fairy!"
Deng Si's heart was instantly ignited with passion, and she cried out in unison with the phoenix.
However, Setsuna as he was about to make his move, a wisp of black energy emerged from Ding Hongyun's body.
That energy was elusive, yet extremely refined and pure, encompassing all things.
If Li Lin embodies the Dao of the Dark Magic Fairy, then this black aura originates from the Dark Magic Fairy's body.
"Is what Doumu Yuanjun has been saying all along true? She's not overreacting, but it's actually true?"
He realized it instantly.
The Dark Magic Fairy was truly preparing to attack Li Lin, if Li Lin hadn't become Battle Immortal after his tribulation (referring to a cultivator whose combat power is stronger than that of an immortal, but who has not yet attained the Dao of Boundlessness).
"What is this?" Ding Hongyun was almost scared to death; he had never realized that there was such black energy in his body.
Having always been confident in his own good fortune and disdained joining the Ping'an Ji, he, who had always adhered to the rules of the Lord of the Cave Heaven, felt the necessity for the first time.
"I... I want to withdraw! I beg the sect leader to thoroughly investigate my grotto-heaven!"
Now, he only dares to trust Deng Si, the leader of the Five Virtues Sect and the sect master of the Phoenix Immortal Four Symbols Sect, who has openly fought against the Dark Magic Fairy.
A brilliant flame ignited on Ding Hongyun's body.
He was incredibly excited, "The Sect Master's Phoenix Divine Fire is wonderful!"
Li Lin was also smiling.
Doumu Yuanjun did indeed have feelings and thoughts for him that went beyond those of a master and disciple, but her worries were not unfounded.
At the same time, he finally found Voldemort's tail.
In the distance, Merlin, who was piloting the [End Calamity Boat] towards Li Lin, stopped. Due to Li Lin's sudden appearance, dark light surrounded him, and the same [Way of Destruction] was displayed.
At the same time, another Li Lin appeared in front of the immortals, saying, "Voldemort, stop hiding."
