Future Uncertain, Breaking Through the Spring of Life

As the old man emerged from the cave, he was met with a battle spear thrusting towards him, instantly enraging him. The small green seal in his hand swelled to the size of a small mountain, radiating intense light. The divine patterns on its surface seemed to writhe, as if ready to burst from the seal itself.

"Clang!" A terrifying force struck, sending the small seal reeling backward, clearly outmatched.

The young man bore the Wings of the Demon, black runes flickering upon them, and wielded the Spear of the Underworld God, looking like the Underworld God himself descending from hell to mete out punishment.

"How can this be?" the old man roared.

"You haven't even reached the Spring of Life!"

He then conjured a crimson lamp, sparks dancing upon it. A surging wave of red flames rolled forth, threatening to incinerate Lin Yu on the spot.

Lin Yu was fearless. With a flutter of the Wings of the Demon, he merged with the void, escaping the range of the flames.

"Hell Furnace, subdue the flames!"

The Hell Furnace appeared, countless phantoms of hellish devils and gods wailing within it. Black hellfire burned on its surface, actually treating the old man's flames as fuel and consuming them!

Seeing this, the old man quickly spat a large mouthful of blood onto the lamp. The lamp's flames instantly surged, barely managing to resist the Hell Furnace.

"I transform into the Divine Elephant, sweeping through stars, devouring sun and moon! I suppress hell, becoming the furnace, trampling the Underworld God!" Lin Yu suddenly erupted with another earth-shattering roar.

Infused with powerful divine energy, the Hell Furnace's might soared, as if transforming from a phantom into a physical entity. He urged the furnace to collide with the crimson lamp, and a terrifying storm of flames swept out, reducing the entire mountain forest to scorched earth.

"Boom!"

The lamp shattered, and the old man's complexion instantly withered.

"Which family's Saint Son are you? Why are you making trouble for me?" The old man couldn't believe it.

"Spear of the Underworld God, judge hell!"

Lin Yu didn't respond. He cut his palm, and pale golden blood flowed out, absorbed by the Spear of the Underworld God. Threads of blood-red light emerged, then converged at the spear tip. The entire spear's aura changed, surprisingly carrying a sense of judgment and destiny.

The old man looked at the spear in Lin Yu's hand, and it was as if he saw his fated death arriving as Lin Yu threw the spear!

"I don't believe it!" the old man roared, soaring into the sky, clearly intending to flee, utterly terrified.

"A futile effort." A pair of wings, dozens of feet long, unfolded behind Lin Yu. With a flash, he was already above the old man. The spear in his hand shot down, directly pinning him to death!

After killing the evil cultivator, Lin Yu returned to the cave to inspect it, finding that basically no resources were left behind.

Looks like this guy was also a ruthless one, planning to go all in with a 'succeed or die trying' mentality.

He found another ancient text. As expected, it was a demonic technique that taught how to break through using cultivators' internal organs. Lin Yu burned it with a single flame.

Seeing that there were no gains, Lin Yu prepared to leave. Before departing, he thought for a moment and then slammed his palm down on the cave.

"Boom!"

The entire cave instantly collapsed, burying all the evil within.

As for the unlucky person who was abducted, they would probably go back on their own tomorrow.

By the time Lin Yu returned to his lodging in Yan Capital, it was already late at night. It was as if nothing had happened, another peaceful night.

Lin Yu sat down and began to contemplate his cultivation. His strength in the Sea of Suffering Realm was now virtually unrivaled.

That evil cultivator was a cultivator on the Other Shore, preparing to break through to the Dao Palace. His strength was decent, but encountering Lin Yu meant only regret.

Currently, his main focus was on opening up twenty Giant Elephant Particles, cultivating the "Hell Furnace" to completion, and then unlocking the cultivation method for the "God-Devil Seal".

Originally, when he cultivated the Divine Elephant's Prison Technique, he could hide his Qi and blood essence, condensing all his cultivation deep within his origin, causing his strength to appear lower and thus undetectable by outsiders.

However, there were too many passersby in the Covering the Heavens world. They would casually mention secrets of Great Emperor families and Ancient Sovereign Supremes.

Only by cultivating the God-Devil Seal, deeply hiding his blood essence origin and spiritual thoughts, could he avoid being spied upon by those old schemers.

Currently, his Hell Furnace was still a phantom and not very useful. He was hoping for a kind person to provide some assistance.

After opening up ten particles, his Sea of Suffering had expanded to the size of half a fist. In the very center of the Sea of Suffering, dense underworld mist continuously surged out, like an angry volcano from the underworld erupting, emitting a chilling aura.

From time to time, streaks of ink-black lightning, like ferocious flood dragons, would flash across the sky. Each bolt of lightning carried destructive power, instantly illuminating the dark Sea of Suffering and briefly exposing the terrifying sights hidden in the darkness.

His essence was constantly surging, spewing forth without interruption, seemingly about to connect with the Wheel of Life and release a Divine Spring.

Whenever he immersed himself in an ethereal state, he heard that within the Sea of Suffering in his body, it was no longer ordinary waves, but a terrifying soundscape of Divine Elephant roars and demonic screams intertwined.

The Divine Elephant's roar was like a resounding bell, carrying supreme majesty and boundless power, as if it wanted to break through this illusory realm.

This intertwined sound emanated from the Sea of Suffering outwards, as if it wanted to dye the entire world with the colors of the underworld. At this moment, his entire body was enveloped by a layer of strange yet sacred light. That light faintly exuded a cold aura, as if from beneath the Yellow Springs.

Lin Yu knew he was about to enter the Spring of Life realm. He would be able to condense a Divine Rainbow for flight, and combined with the Wings of the Demon, his mobility would be even stronger.

Then, under the resentful gazes of the beautiful maidservants, he left the Joyful Fragrance Tower, where he had stayed for a few days, and headed towards the mountains.

Ten days passed in a flash. In the continuous mountain range, within a hidden cave dwelling carved out by hand, a muffled rumbling sound suddenly broke the long-standing silence.

In an instant, it was as if a thousand armies were galloping past. A massive tsunami-like roar echoed through the heavens and earth, and rolling thunder was deafening, causing the earth to tremble.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, an incomparably powerful aura suddenly erupted, spreading out like surging tides. The entire cave dwelling shook violently, unable to bear the strain, on the verge of collapse at any moment.

Lin Yu's body was surging with vigorous essence, like boiling magma. The phantom of the Hell Furnace burned fiercely behind him, emitting a strange and scorching light that illuminated the dim cave dwelling in crimson.

Lin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing, like two bolts of lightning cutting through the night sky, fierce and dazzling. They emitted an exceptionally brilliant light in the cave dwelling, making it impossible to look directly at them.

"Finally broken through to the Spring of Life realm!"

Lin Yu let out a long roar towards the sky, his voice filled with excitement and pride. Before his words even finished, his body instantly transformed into a dark golden bolt of lightning, carrying boundless power, and shot out of the cave like an arrow from a bowstring.

Immediately after, a blazing Divine Rainbow descended from the heavens, completely enveloping him. Under the Divine Rainbow's shroud, he slowly ascended into the air, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

At this moment, right in the center of Lin Yu's Sea of Suffering Realm, a Spring of Life quietly emerged. The spring was deep and emitted a soft light. Threads of light extended out, quietly connecting with the Wheel of Life.

The Divine Spring gurgled and surged, the water flowing out clear and transparent, surrounded by a hazy, colorful mist, dreamlike and illusory, containing endless mysteries and power.

"Everything is done. Now it's time to find a kind soul to give me some travel expenses to the Northern Region!"

Lin Yu transformed into a Divine Rainbow and shot towards the sky.
