Taiqing Roaming Heaven Steps
"Cough, cough..."
As the smoke cleared, a violent coughing sound suddenly came from the deep pit.
Immediately, a hand slowly emerged, supporting the ground, and finally, a figure covered in blood struggled to crawl out—it was the Old Man in Sackcloth.
At this moment, the Old Man in Sackcloth was not only covered in blood, but his clothes were also covered in tears, with not a single part intact.
After a while, the Old Man in Sackcloth slowly stood up, revealing his pale and terrified face.
"This is..."
After getting up, the Old Man in Sackcloth suddenly felt a strange Black Qi emanating from his body. This strange Black Qi not only eroded his physical body, but also gradually eroded his mind.
"It's actually the Curse Power!"
As if he had thought of something, the pale face of the Old Man in Sackcloth suddenly changed again.
This eerie Black Qi was actually the Curse Power even Nirvana Stage experts feared!
Upon realizing this, the Old Man in Sackcloth looked at the young man in blue robes not far away with extreme fear.
This child not only possesses the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, but also has the means to instantly elevate his power to the Nirvana Stage. He can even unleash Spirit Martial Skill and this insidious Curse Power.
These kinds of methods were unheard of even in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. He never expected to encounter them today from a genius from a Low-level Dynasty!
In the sky, Lin Langtian stared at the Old Man in Sackcloth was suffering from the Curse Power and was barely clinging to life. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
As he finally relaxed, the power within him dissipated at an alarming rate, and an overwhelming sense of weakness quickly overwhelmed him.
At the same time, there was a pervasive, intense pain throughout his body, making Lin Langtian feel as if his body was completely ruined.
Weakness overwhelmed Lin Langtian's mind, but fortunately, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol continuously absorbed the Yuan Power of Heaven and Earth to nourish him, preventing Lin Langtian from immediately fainting.
Seeing the Old Man in Sackcloth barely clinging to life, Lin Langtian narrowed his eyes slightly. The black hole in his palm rapidly expanded, and an incomparably powerful Devouring Power surged out, immediately covering the Old Man in Sackcloth.
We must nip this in the bud; this Old Man in Sackcloth must not be allowed to live!
Under the pull of this Devouring Power, the Old Man in Sackcloth tried to resist, but his severe injuries and the ever-evolving Curse Power left him with no chance to fight back.
Sensing a sharp pain in his mind, the Old Man in Sackcloth felt as if all his energy and spirit were being forcibly pulled out of his body, and he quickly said...
"Boy, I am a member of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, you cannot kill me!"
"Having offended the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, even with extraordinary talent, you will have nowhere to stand in the Eastern Xuan Region!"
Hearing the threat from the Old Man in Sackcloth, Lin Langtian snorted disdainfully, and the Devouring Power in his hand surged once more.
Sensing the increasing Devouring Power, the Old Man in Sackcloth grew paler and paler. Realizing that the reputation of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace was useless against Lin Langtian, he quickly changed his expression and begged for mercy in a pitiful manner.
"Young friend, release me, and I'll gladly become your subordinate! You can have anything you want!"
"I could even get you into the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. With your talent and my support, you might very well become a prominent figure in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, or even a powerful figure in the Eastern Xuan Region!"
At this moment, the Old Man in Sackcloth finally despaired completely. He smelled the strong stench of death and immediately roared in a hoarse voice.
"A mere old bastard at the Three Yuan Nirvana Stage Realm is like an ant in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. Your support is laughable!"
Upon hearing the Old Man in Sackcloth plead for mercy, Lin Langtian revealed a disdainful smile. He then gave the old man no further chance to speak, and the black hole suddenly expanded.
The next moment, invisible things, like souls, were forcefully pulled out of the Old Man in Sackcloth robes and finally entered the black hole!
"Bang!"
As the black hole devoured all the vital energy within his body, the Old Man in Sackcloth froze instantly, his wide eyes filled with shock and fear, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.
This Old Man in Sackcloth, who was once considered a super strong figure in the Great Yan Dynasty, has thus perished...
After finishing all this and retrieving the Demonic Puppet, Lin Langtian felt weak again. Seeing the devastated battlefield, he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately leaped onto the back of the Jin Wu.
"Bah!"
Knowing Lin Langtian's weakened state, the Jin Wu let out a cry, and then its huge black and gold wings slowly flapped, and its body slowly rose into the air, flying into the distance.
Before leaving, Lin Langtian suddenly noticed the Universe Bag at the waist of the Old Man in Sackcloth. His expression froze for a moment, and then he controlled the remaining Devouring Power to suck the Universe Bag into his hand.
After doing all this, Lin Langtian finally lost consciousness, lay on the back of the Jin Wu, and slowly fell asleep.
"Bah!"
Sensing Lin Langtian's condition, a look of anxiety flashed in the eyes of the flying Jin Wu, and even its cries were filled with sorrow, as if it was worried that Lin Langtian would never wake up again.
"Don't worry, little guy, your master has just fainted temporarily. Find a safe place and wait for him to wake up."
Just as Jin Wu was getting anxious, a gentle and noble voice suddenly rang out in Jin Wu's heart.
The source of the voice was none other than Spirit Aunt.
Perhaps due to Spirit Aunt's noble bloodline, or perhaps because she understood the meaning behind her words, the originally extremely anxious Jin Wu gradually became calm.
Knowing that Lin Langtian was unharmed, the Jin Wu let out a light cry, then flapped its wings and flew towards the distant mountain stream in the afterglow of the setting sun...
Three days later, in a secluded cave in a high mountain ravine.
A tall, slender figure slowly opened his eyes. The soft sunlight shone into his eyes, causing a slight stinging sensation.
The stinging pain gradually subsided after a while, and he adjusted to the light before finally opening his eyes completely.
The first thing that catches the eye is a Black-gold Bird that exudes a mysterious aura.
This Black-gold Bird is none other than the Jin Wu in its miniature form. At this moment, this little fellow is guarding Lin Langtian like a protector.
"Hehe, I'm so grateful to you, Jin Wu, these past few days."
After three days of rest, Lin Langtian finally recovered to full strength. Looking at the Jin Wu that had never left his side, Lin Langtian stroked its soft fur and chuckled.
Seeing Lin Langtian wake up, the Jin Wu's eyes also showed joy. After rubbing its head against Lin Langtian's palm, it flew around in the cave, making cheerful cries.
Seeing this, Lin Langtian smiled slightly.
Although he initially valued the potential of the Jin Wu Royal Beast and thus diligently nurtured it, after spending so much time together, the two of them had developed a deep bond.
This is also why Lin Langtian was determined to kill the Old Man in Sackcloth; after all, the old man had his eye on the Jin Wu.
Thinking of the Old Man in Sackcloth, Lin Langtian raised an eyebrow, then remembered something and took out a Universe Bag from his bosom.
This Universe Bag was the spoils Lin Langtian had looted from the Old Man in Sackcloth. As someone from the prestigious Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, his collection shouldn't be too shabby, right?
Thinking this, Lin Langtian effortlessly devoured the Mental Imprint left on the Universe Bag by the Old Man in Sackcloth.
With his current Mental Power as Half-step Heavenly Talisman Master, coupled with the power of Devouring Ancestral Symbol, it wouldn't be difficult for him to achieve this.
After erasing the Mental Imprint of the Old Man in Sackcloth, Lin Langtian's Mental Power quickly penetrated into the Universe Bag, scanning its contents.
During the scan, a piece of pure white jade that looked like it had been meticulously carved immediately caught Lin Langtian's attention.
As if he had thought of something, Lin Langtian's mind stirred, and the exquisite white jade slip appeared in his hand.
After taking out the jade slip, Lin Langtian lowered his head slightly and saw that there were some ethereal and otherworldly characters on the jade slip.
