After Ancestor Minghe roared those words, he immediately summoned the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords and stood atop the Twelve-Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, glaring furiously at Lin Xuan.
He looked ready to start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
Faced with Ancestor Minghe's threatening words, Lin Xuan's expression remained calm.
"Daoist Friend Ming He, I merely advised you out of respect for you as a senior of the Primordial World."
"But don't force me to use force. When that happens, I'm afraid your dignity won't look very good."
Hearing the threat in Lin Xuan's words, Ming He could no longer hold back the killing intent in his heart.
He figured that Lin Xuan was merely an insignificant junior.
Even if he had managed to injure the Primordial Heavenly Venerate, a Saint, it was probably only because he had relied on the power of the God-Slaying Spear, the foremost Innate Supreme Treasure of slaughter, and caught him off guard.
No matter how outstanding his aptitude was, being able to cultivate to the Quasi-Sage stage was already extraordinary.
Could he possibly have attained sainthood?
And as a mere Quasi-Sage, how many times could he wield an Innate Supreme Treasure?
Not to mention that Lin Xuan's greatest backer, Sect Master Tongtian, had already been confined by Dao Ancestor Hongjun beyond the Thirty-three Heavens, inside Zixiao Palace.
He was forbidden from emerging for three kalpas.
Moreover, this boundless sea of blood was his daoist arena. Since he was here, he could naturally draw strength from the sea of blood.
Perhaps this time, he could kill Lin Xuan directly within this sea of blood.
He would not only obtain the God-Slaying Spear, the foremost Innate Supreme Treasure of slaughter, for nothing, but also take this opportunity to befriend Primordial Heavenly Venerate Yuqing.
After thinking of this, the wariness in Ancestor Minghe's eyes vanished instantly.
Instead, he stared at Lin Xuan with a greedy expression and said coldly:
"Hmph! Junior Lin Xuan, back then, I listened to Dao Ancestor preach in Zixiao Palace alongside your master, Sect Master Tongtian."
"I can barely be considered half your elder."
"And now you actually dare to treat me like this!"
"Could it be that Sect Master Tongtian never taught you what it means to respect your master and your elders?"
"If he never taught you, then this time, I, your granduncle, will personally step in and properly teach you on his behalf what it means to respect your master and your elders."
When Lin Xuan heard this, a trace of mockery flashed across his face.
"Respect your master and elders? You? Do you even deserve to say that?"
Seeing Lin Xuan's undisguised ridicule, Ancestor Minghe immediately became so furious that the Three Corpses Gods leaped in rage. He directly drove the Yuantu Abi Twin Swords, carrying an overwhelming killing aura, and charged at Lin Xuan.
He swore to kill Lin Xuan beneath his swords.
"Junior! Don't think that possessing the God-Slaying Spear, the foremost Innate Supreme Treasure of slaughter, makes you invincible. Today, I'll show you what it means for the sea of blood to remain unexhausted and Ming He to remain undying!"
Facing Ancestor Minghe's seemingly world-destroying strike, Lin Xuan let out a disdainful laugh.
"The sea of blood remains unexhausted, and Ming He remains undying? That's simple. Why not just refine the entire sea of blood until it's dry?"
With that said,
Lin Xuan merely flicked his sleeve lightly.
He effortlessly shattered Ancestor Minghe's world-destroying attack.
Then, under Ancestor Minghe's incredulous gaze, Lin Xuan's figure suddenly grew taller.
No!
He then realized in horror—
It wasn't Lin Xuan who had grown larger!
It was he and the boundless sea of blood who were growing smaller!
This discovery left Ancestor Minghe utterly horrified.
How was this possible?
How could Lin Xuan be this powerful?
When facing him, he didn't even have the strength to resist.
Could Lin Xuan have already attained sainthood?
No.
That was even more impossible!
He didn't even possess Hongmeng Purple Qi, and no phenomenon of someone attaining sainthood had appeared anywhere in the Primordial World.
Besides, how could a mere junior have attained sainthood before him?
Ancestor Minghe could not believe this possibility no matter what.
He frantically circulated all his Mana, trying to break free from the restraints of Lin Xuan's technique.
The Yuantu Abi Twin Swords immediately erupted with a heaven-shaking cry!
The berserk laws of slaughter were instantly detonated.
Yet in Lin Xuan's eyes, Ancestor Minghe's decisive strike was no different from a gentle breeze brushing across his face.
At this moment, the entire boundless sea of blood had already been transformed by Lin Xuan's Sleeve Universe technique into a blood sphere the size of a fist.
Ancestor Minghe was as tiny as an ant.
Lin Xuan lightly flicked a finger.
In an instant,
The boundless sea of blood surged with enormous waves, directly suppressing Ancestor Minghe beneath its depths.
Then Lin Xuan casually summoned a wisp of Samadhi True Fire.
It quietly burned and refined the boundless sea of blood, now reduced to the size of a fist, in his palm.
A moment later,
Threads of essence and baleful energy from the sea of blood were refined out by Lin Xuan.
After seeing this while suppressed beneath the sea of blood,
Ancestor Minghe's face immediately turned deathly pale.
The boundless sea of blood was his foundation.
If Lin Xuan refined it, it meant that his undying body would be completely broken.
If this continued, his life would definitely be in danger!
After realizing this, Ancestor Minghe could no longer worry about puzzling over Lin Xuan's strength.
He immediately begged:
"Daoist Friend Lin Xuan, Ming He is willing to lend you his treasures."
"As long as you release the restriction, Ming He will offer the treasures to you with both hands."
When Lin Xuan heard this, his brows lifted slightly.
"Only now do you want to offer your treasures? Too late."
