Even Hong Die Could Not Break Through to the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage Within a Hundred Years
After leaving the Cloud Heaven Sect, Lin Che did not linger. Instead, he rode his Desolate Beast toward the Ancient God's Land.
At the same time, there was only one entrance to the Ancient God's Land: the Starfall Ruins within the perpetually slaughter-filled Demon Sea.
The Starfall Ruins were fraught with dangers. In the past, even experts at the Spirit Severing Stage had a great chance of perishing there, so few were willing to step into this forbidden land.
They feared that a single misstep could scatter their souls and destroy their spirits.
Even Soul Transformation experts would perish on the spot if they were careless after entering this place. Even Lin Che himself had nearly a sixty percent chance of being pursued by Do Mu upon entering the Ancient God's Land.
At this moment, Xu Liguo flew out from the separate space Lin Che had condensed and quietly appeared behind him.
Seeing that Lin Che was still cultivating with his eyes closed, this traitor revealed a trace of cunning.
If he had not become Lin Che's devil, he would have torn the fellow before him to pieces no matter what. But to be safe, it was better to leave this matter to someone else.
After all, he only needed to stay behind the scenes. It would naturally be best if they could kill Lin Che.
If there was no opportunity, he could simply act as though nothing had happened and pretend he knew nothing.
At that thought, Xu Liguo's lips curled into a smile. He carefully moved his fingers and sent a restriction into the sky, thinking, My family from the Corpse Yin Sect, hurry and save me!!
Naturally, Lin Che had noticed Xu Liguo's little move. But to him, it would be useless even if the Corpse Yin Sect's experts came, for the gap in their cultivation was simply too great.
With the Corpse Yin Sect's current strength, they could not possibly be his opponents.
Taking this chance to raise his cultivation a little further was the best course of action.
Although Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could not provide him with much energy at present, if there were enough of them, reaching the late Nascent Soul Transformation stage should not be much of a problem.
At the Corpse Yin Sect headquarters in Fire Ember Country, they had also sensed Xu Liguo's plea for help and learned that he had been captured by someone calling himself Lin Che.
Zhao Chuanliang, the Corpse Yin Sect's sect master, knelt on one knee. A hint of anxiety flashed through his eyes as he respectfully said to the projection before him, "Senior of the Upper Sect, I only ask that you grant me ten days. I will definitely bring Xu Liguo back."
"If I grant you more time, who will grant me more time?"
The Upper Sect envoy said coldly, "Xu Liguo is a disciple of the Tiangang Sect, Tiangang Country's foremost sect. What am I supposed to use to hand him over?"
Zhao Chuanliang immediately replied, "Senior, Xu Liguo used a secret technique to call for help not long ago. We have already found his location. He was captured by a cultivator named Lin Che. As long as you give me a few days, I will definitely bring Xu Liguo back."
The Corpse Yin Sect's Upper Sect envoy let out a deep sigh, then turned around and said indifferently, "For the sake of our past relationship, I will give you ten days. If you fail within those ten days, do not blame me for showing no mercy."
"Thank you, Lord Envoy!"
Zhao Chuanliang said coldly, "Pass down the order. All Corpse Yin Sect cultivators above the Core Formation realm are to follow me and find this man. Bring our sect's disciple back!"
"Yes!"
By now, Lin Che was infinitely close to the region where the Starfall Ruins lay. At his current speed, he would reach the Starfall Ruins in the Demon Sea in only half a month.
At that time, he could naturally use his special method to open the passage to the Ancient God's Land. But whether Blood Sea Generals and the like would be waiting for him inside remained unknown.
When he had left back then, he had pursued and killed quite a few Spirit Severing Stage and Nascent Soul Transformation Experts, enraging Demon God Tuo Sen.
Tuo Sen had even personally arranged for Do Mu to pursue him. If he had not relied on a special secret technique, he would likely have long since become a puppet for Tuo Sen to break the seal.
Lin Che closed his eyes. At the same time, an azure panel displaying his basic information and realm appeared in his mind.
System Name: God-Slaying Host Name: Lin Che Age: 140 years Realm: Mid Nascent Soul Transformation stage Magic Treasures: Skybright Sword, Human Sovereign Banner, Nether Soul Devouring Bell Total Kills: 200099 people Total Demon Beasts: 54358 Slaughter Points: 60/100
"It still seems too little. Ever since reaching the Nascent Soul Transformation stage, my cultivation speed has plummeted. It is no longer as fast as before."
Lin Che sighed deeply. Still, reaching the mid Nascent Soul Transformation stage at one hundred and forty years old was already extremely difficult. Ordinary cultivators needed at least a thousand years to reach the Nascent Soul Transformation stage.
Even some favored geniuses needed eight or nine hundred years, or even longer, before they had a chance to enter the Nascent Soul Transformation stage. That was already considered the fastest.
Although Hong Die of the Snow Region in the original work entered the Soul Transformation stage within a hundred years, she could still be considered exceptionally gifted.
Unfortunately, she encountered the male lead Wang Lin. Not only was her arm severed, but her cultivation also plummeted. In the end, Qian Feng seized the opportunity to capture her and refine her into a Cauldron. It was truly a tragic life.
Putting away the system, Lin Che turned to look at Xu Liguo, who lay behind the Desolate Beast, and said flatly, "Get over here."
Xu Liguo's heart trembled. Seeing Lin Che's icy gaze, he was badly frightened. He immediately ran over, knelt at Lin Che's feet, and cautiously asked, "Um... Master, what are your orders?"
Lin Che moved his finger, and numerous souls flew out from his sleeve, appearing before Xu Liguo out of thin air. His tone remained cold as he said, "Swallow these souls."
Xu Liguo subconsciously scratched his head, looking at Lin Che in confusion. He did not understand what Lin Che was doing. Was he not afraid Xu Liguo would grow stronger by devouring souls?
Or perhaps...
This fellow wanted him to eat his last meal!
To be safe, Xu Liguo did not rashly devour the souls. Instead, he grabbed Lin Che's wrist and carefully asked, "Um... Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Say one more word, and die."
Lin Che's pupils suddenly turned pale red, and a chilling aura instantly swept over him. It seemed that if Xu Liguo said another word, Lin Che might truly kill him on the spot.
Xu Liguo was so frightened by Lin Che that he nearly cried. Reluctantly, he stuffed all the souls into his mouth.
That damned fiend will die horribly! Even if I die, I'll die with a full stomach. I absolutely can't starve to death!
After Xu Liguo swallowed every soul into his belly, Lin Che stood up and coldly stared at the distant sky. He suddenly said, "The ants of the Corpse Yin Sect have finally arrived."
