Breaking Through to the Creation Stage!
"Where to go next? I'm afraid we can't stay in this Great Puppet City any longer."
In mid-air, the Little Marten's figure emerged from the air.
"Go directly to the Great Desolation Ancient Tablet Great Desolation Ancient Plain Stele is located. The Great Desolation Ancient Tablet will open in two months. I need to find a place to try to break through to the Creation Stage and give myself an extra layer of insurance."
"Competing for the martial arts and Spirit Treasure of the Ancient Sect within the Great Desolation Ancient Tablet is secondary; the key is that the Devouring Ancestral Symbol is also there."
The Black Clothed Youth, standing with his hands behind his back, spoke calmly.
"That's right, Stupid Tiger, let's set off for the Great Desolation Ancient Plain."
The Little Marten nodded gently and patted Little Flame's tiger back.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
Amidst the sounds of wind and thunder, Little Flame, carrying Lin Dong on his back, transformed into a streak of lightning and headed straight for the northwest.
The Great Desolation Ancient Plain is located northwest of Great Puppet City, and can be reached in two days.
Two months later.
"Boom!"
In the Great Desolation Ancient Plain, a cave suddenly exploded, and a powerful surge of Origin Energy condensed into a tangible golden pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.
"Hahaha, I've finally reached the Creation Stage! Little Flame, let's go."
Amidst the uproarious laughter, a slender figure emerged from the golden pillar of light, landed on the back of a roaring Tiger Beast, and headed straight for the depths of the ancient plain.
The energy seal outside the Great Desolation Ancient Tablet has been reduced to its lowest point, and the triennial grand event is coming again. Various figures and the roars of Flying Demonic Beast fill most of the sky.
This is the deepest part of the Great Desolation Ancient Plain, where a dense crowd of people has long since occupied the area, creating a bustling atmosphere.
However, the most eye-catching feature is undoubtedly the ancient stone tablet that stands a thousand feet tall.
It stands alone on the earth, wild and ancient.
The surface of the stone tablet was covered with ancient and mysterious runes, emitting a powerful yet unsettling aura that forced the crowd to keep their distance.
"Roar!"
With a majestic tiger's roar, Little Flame's ferocious body, which was over ten feet long, rapidly shrank, eventually transforming into a red cat that snuggled into Lin Dong's arms. Lin Dong then landed on the ground.
"The people from the Great Demon Sect have arrived. Mu Qianqian is quite fast."
Lin Dong glanced around and saw Black Skirt Beauty surrounded by a group of powerful members of the Great Demon Sect, about ten feet away.
As if sensing something, Mu Qianqian looked over and, upon seeing Lin Dong, a charming smile immediately appeared on her beautiful face.
"Bah!"
Suddenly, a cry of an eagle rang out from the sky.
On the massive black eagle, a burly young man in black stood holding a black iron rod, a fervent fighting spirit emanating from him.
"Martial Alliance Wu Ci, as expected, I knew he would come to join in the fun."
Mu Qianqian, who was about to step forward, stopped herself.
"Call out!"
With a loud whooshing sound, the young man in black, wielding a thick iron rod, leaped down from the sky and landed An Ran on the ground.
"Wait for me outside. I'll come out to find you in a couple of days."
The young man in black waved his hand upwards, and the black eagle, which resembled a humanoid figure, shook its wings and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The black-clad youth who had dismissed the eagle withdrew his gaze, which happened to fall on Lin Dong to the side. His eyes immediately lit up. "Friend, I am from the Martial Alliance Wu Ci. How about we have a friendly spar?"
It was the kind of excitement that comes with seeing a prey!
"No, you're too weak."
Lin Dong glanced at the young powerhouse who had landed beside him; he seemed to be the prodigy from the Martial Alliance. He shook his head slightly.
"I am a Qi Creation Stage expert from Wu Ci, one of the three strongest young experts in the Great Desolation Prefecture. You say my strength is too weak?"
Wu Ci paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
This is utterly absurd. He only extended an invitation to spar with Lin Dong because he saw that Lin Dong's aura was restrained and he seemed like a worthy opponent. Being a martial arts enthusiast, he did so.
Unexpectedly, this young man was so ignorant of his own limitations. Although, given his easygoing nature, he wouldn't get angry.
"Lin Dong!!!"
With an angry shout, the crowded people suddenly parted, and a group of people exuding a chilling aura burst in.
"The experts from the Yin Puppet Sect have arrived. Together with the Great Demon Sect and the Martial Alliance, the three top forces in our Great Desolation Prefecture are finally all here."
"Teng Lei, I didn't expect the Young Sect Master of the Yin Puppet Sect to come as well. It seems he's here for that Black Clothed Youth. Hehe, this is going to be a good show."
Those who managed to get to this place were all seasoned veterans. As soon as they saw that things were not going well, the dark mass of people immediately retreated, instantly clearing out a large open space.
"Lin Dong? This name sounds vaguely familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before, like when an elder from my sect mentioned it."
Wu Ci showed a look of reminiscence, and he quickly retreated.
He wasn't afraid of Teng Lei, a genius of the Yin Puppet Sect who was on par with him, but he wasn't stupid either. Why should he stick his neck out for Lin Dong, a complete stranger?
"Lin Dong, how dare you show your face here!"
In the center of the Yin Puppet Sect's forces, a young man dressed in blood-red clothes, with a face like a withered skeleton, coldly scrutinized Lin Dong.
Why wouldn't I dare show myself here?
Lin Dong glanced at the blood-clad youth with a strange look, then thought for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Are you Teng Lei, the Young Sect Master of the Yin Puppet Sect? As for you, you dare to appear in front of me. Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by me?"
"Hey, arrogant brat, don't think that just because you got some kind of lucky break and happened to kill Elder Hua Gu of my sect, you can be so presumptuous. My Yin Puppet Sect has plenty of strong people who can deal with you."
The blood-stained youth smiled sinisterly, then gently waved his pale hand.
"Lin Dong, who killed Elder Hua Gu of the Yin Puppet Sect? I think I know who he is..."
Amidst the crowd, Wu Ci murmured thoughtfully.
"Whoosh!"
At Teng Lei's signal, the Yin Puppet Sect's large force suddenly separated, and a Blood Colored Figure strode out with overwhelming momentum.
The figure was a middle-aged man dressed in blood, with blood-red hair and eyebrows. Even his arms had a sickly crimson hue. His whole body was surrounded by blood-red light, and a pungent smell of blood emanated from him.
"You little beast, how dare you take advantage of my seclusion to dismantle my Yin Puppet Sect branch and kill my Yin Puppet Sect elders! Who gave you the audacity?!"
The middle-aged man in blood-stained clothes suddenly raised his head, revealing an extremely cold and stern face.
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a long-suppressed violent aura erupted like a volcanic eruption, causing ripples to appear in the air.
Half-step Creation Stage expert!
"Blood Butcher Cao Zhen, I didn't expect the Yin Puppet Sect to actually send him."
"Tsk tsk, back then he single-handedly slaughtered a huge sect, leaving rivers of blood, and his fearsome reputation resounded throughout the entire Great Desolation Prefecture. No matter how strong Lin Dong is, he will probably fall here."
The appearance of the middle-aged man in blood-stained clothes immediately caused a stir among the crowd.
