[Samsara Death Seal: A High Grade Mortal Tier Spirit Art. Its dangerous power lies in the ability to cultivate multiple death seals. Only by layering the seals can it unleash its true strength, but its demands on spiritual energy are extremely harsh.]
At that moment, Lin Yan looked at the latest reward the system had given him.
He stood there, stunned for a moment.
That was because the reward the system had given him this time wasn't a Cultivation Method or Combat Skill from the Dou Qi Continent, but a Spirit Art from the Great Thousand World.
This left Lin Yan somewhat surprised.
After all, he had always thought that the system would only reward him with things from the Dou Qi Continent, and that was all it had ever given him before.
But based on the situation now,
it seemed the system didn't just offer rewards from the Dou Qi Continent.
Could it even offer rewards from the Great Thousand World?
"This is really wonderful."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up, and a delighted smile spread across his face.
The Great Thousand World was home to countless races.
And every plane was divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks.
Planes like the Dou Qi Continent and the Martial Movement World were generally considered middle-ranked planes.
The strongest beings such planes could produce were, at most, those in the Emperor Realm and the Ancestor Realm.
By the standards of the Great Thousand World, they might not even be as powerful as a single Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
That was why, in the original story, both the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor had to leave their original planes and head to the Great Thousand World to seek breakthroughs and reach higher levels.
So it was fair to say that the Great Thousand World was the highest-ranked plane in the Potato Trilogy. Its cultivation ceiling was higher, its Cultivation Methods were more profound, and its spiritual treasures were more powerful.
Now that Lin Yan had confirmed he could also sign in for items from the Great Thousand World,
that meant he could obtain more than just Heavenly Flames, Dou Techniques, and Cultivation Methods from the Dou Qi Continent. He could even sign in for Spirit Arts, formations, divine bodies, and so on from the Great Thousand World.
The thought filled Lin Yan with anticipation.
The rewards he had obtained from the system so far had already benefited him immensely.
If he could sign in for other rewards from the Great Thousand World in the future, wouldn't he soar straight to the heavens?
"Little friend, why are you so happy?"
Yao Lao had noticed Lin Yan's reaction. After his spirit appeared beside him, he glanced at him in surprise and asked.
Lin Yan simply told Yao Lao everything he knew.
"The Great Thousand World..."
"Such a place exists?"
"I didn't even know about it. Little friend, you really are well-informed."
Yao Lao's eyes lit up at once.
Even he felt a long-lost surge of excitement after learning about it.
It was a rare feeling, like discovering a new continent and being overcome with the urge to explore it. He couldn't help wanting to see it for himself.
Yao Lao soon sighed with emotion.
"I hope we'll have the chance to visit the Great Thousand World together someday, little friend."
Lin Yan smiled as he answered Yao Lao. "We'll get that chance, Senior Yao."
The two didn't linger there any longer.
After all, Lin Yan had only been wandering around Ironwood Manor to sign in. Now that he had done so, he had no reason to keep wandering.
Lin Yan headed off in one direction, intending to return and meet up with Lin Zhentian and the others.
But after only a few steps, he heard the roar of a beast and the sounds of warriors fighting.
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow and hurried toward the sound. Sure enough, he soon spotted a young man being chased by two enormous black panthers.
The two panthers were powerful. Though they didn't know any martial techniques, Lin Yan judged their species from their speed, strength, and appearance.
"Adult Black Iron Demon Leopards?"
Lin Yan murmured to himself.
The two black panthers before him were the legendary Black Iron Demon Leopards. Even as adults, they could rival Heaven Origin Realm experts, and they were even stronger than demon beasts like the Fire Python Tiger.
Lin Yan looked closer and quickly realized the young man being chased by the beasts was Lin Dong.
Lin Dong was completely outmatched by the two beasts. He pulled out every trick he had, bombarding them with the Strange Gate Seal, but it did little against them. Under their relentless attacks, he was instead driven into a miserable retreat.
"This kid..."
"How did he end up provoking beasts like these?"
"He really doesn't value his life."
Lin Yan let out a helpless sigh, but he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
So, as Lin Dong struggled ahead, Lin Yan summoned his Purple Cloud Wings and shot forward.
"Roar!"
The Black Iron Demon Leopard's reactions were clearly much faster than a human's. Even though Lin Yan was already flying straight toward it with his Purple Cloud Wings, the beast spotted him at once. It bared its fangs, raised its claws, and slashed directly at Lin Yan's face.
"Brother Lin Yan, watch out!"
Lin Dong saw this and shouted a warning at once.
"Purple Fire, appear!"
"Eight Extremities Collapse!"
Lin Yan naturally didn't dare to be careless.
As one of the Black Iron Demon Leopards lunged at him, he quickly summoned his Beast Fire. The instant it coated his fist, he unleashed an Eight Extremities Collapse, driving it savagely into the beast.
Boom!
The punch landed, sending the Black Iron Demon Leopard flying. After all, Lin Yan had mastered the Eight Extremities Collapse, a High Profound Tier Dou Technique, and its power was no small thing.
However, the Eight Extremities Collapse hadn't caused the Black Iron Demon Leopard much damage. It was Lin Yan's Beast Fire that had truly taken its toll. Once it touched the beast, it burst into an even fiercer blaze and burned furiously.
The Black Iron Demon Leopard let out a pained wail and rolled about in the Beast Fire, but the flames never died out.
"Right, Black Iron Demon Leopards are wood-aligned and fear fire most."
"And my Beast Fire is real fire, not ordinary flame formed from Yuan Power."
"So once it catches, the Black Iron Demon Leopard can't take it at all."
Lin Yan immediately saw the reason and felt pleased.
To be honest, without the advantage of his fire's elemental counter, even he could do little against two Black Iron Demon Leopards capable of matching Heaven Origin Realm experts, other than run for his life.
But now that his fire directly countered these two demon beasts, everything had changed.
Lin Yan continued attacking, and before long, he had used his Beast Fire to defeat both beasts.
His Eight Extremities Collapse couldn't inflict any meaningful damage on them, but once they were touched by the Beast Fire, the two beasts were often burned to death by the flames.
"Hiss, Brother Lin Yan, your fire is terrifying."
Lin Dong couldn't help sucking in a sharp breath at the sight.
Although this wasn't the first time he'd seen Lin Yan use his Beast Fire,
it was the first time he'd seen it prove so devastating.
So after watching Lin Yan burn the two demon beasts alive with his Beast Fire, even Lin Dong couldn't hide the shock on his face.
"You actually picked a fight with beasts like these. Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Lin Yan put away the flames, extracted the demon cores from the two Heaven Origin Realm beasts, then shot Lin Dong a reproachful glance.
"Sigh, I didn't mean to, Brother Lin Yan."
"I found a Yang Origin Stone Mine and was going to go back and report it to Grandpa, but I don't know where these two beasts came from. They came after me like mad."
"Thank goodness you were here, Brother Lin Yan. Otherwise, I'd have lost my life here."
Lin Dong smiled bitterly as he explained, then quickly thanked him.
Lin Yan didn't blame him any further.
He was about to say something else when Lin Xiao, Lin Ken, and Lin Zhentian arrived one after another. The earlier fight between Lin Yan and the two beasts had made quite a commotion.
"Lin Yan, Lin Dong, what are you two doing here?"
Lin Xiao and Lin Ken spotted them at once and asked in confusion.
Lin Yan glanced at Lin Dong beside him, signaling for him to explain.
Lin Dong could only step forward and tell them the whole story.
Without embellishing anything, Lin Dong explained to Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and Lin Ken how he had discovered the Yang Origin Stone Mine and how Lin Yan had come to his rescue.
They were all astonished. Their expressions shifted from confusion to delight, then to worry and shock.
Lin Zhentian, in particular, burst into hearty laughter after hearing Lin Dong's account. He looked at Lin Yan, visibly excited, and clapped him on the shoulder. "Well done, boy! You've gotten this strong?"
"You can kill two Black Iron Demon Leopards all by yourself? Doesn't that mean you're even stronger than Lin Xiao and Lin Ken?"
Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Yan, speaking with great excitement.
