Lin Xuan previously possessed the ‘Divine Strength’ and ‘Blood Qi Burst’ attribute tags, which were somewhat similar to the ‘Bǎn Niú Zhī Lì’ attribute tag, but they were actually different.
The Divine Strength talent, in addition to enhancing his strength, mainly improved his physical potential, equivalent to an initial stage of body refinement techniques!
Blood Qi Burst, obviously, was a temporary burst-type ability that allowed him to temporarily increase his strength.
The newly acquired Bǎn Niú Zhī Lì, however, allowed him to achieve a significant increase in strength in his normal state. This was obviously a very good combat talent for the body refinement lineage!
In addition to the ‘Bǎn Niú Zhī Lì’, he also acquired the ‘Water-Born Spirit’ attribute tag, which was likely due to Jin Da Sheng belonging to the water buffalo lineage, naturally possessing affinity with water attribute spiritual energy. He could control water currents and perform simple water-based techniques, while also being skilled in underwater combat.
Lin Xuan did not expect much of an amplification in water, but at least his combat power would not be limited in the future, whether in rivers, lakes, or the ocean. Otherwise, if he were like Sun Wukong, unwilling to enter the water, it would always be a deficiency.
The red attribute tag ‘Innate Foundation’ made his current superior innate foundation even stronger. Little by little, it would eventually reach a qualitative change. This was something that did not need to be mentioned further.
At this moment, Lin Xuan instantly fused the new attribute tags without wasting time on understanding and experimentation. Putting away the Chi Xiao Sword, he raised his hand and summoned the piece of ox gall that had fallen far away, then turned around and immediately fled!
He was just kidding. He had risked his life twice, using his strongest techniques to take Jin Da Sheng by surprise. If another Meishan demon came along, he might be completely done for. Why wait any longer?
On the way, Lin Xuan casually examined the ox gall in his hand. This was the most precious essence within Jin Da Sheng’s body. Only one ox would produce a single piece. It could be refined into an innate spiritual treasure that was most compatible with their own body, possessing immense power and could easily penetrate anything!
However, he tried to infuse his spiritual power into it and refine it, only to discover that he couldn’t use it at all. Only Jin Da Sheng could use this ox gall!
“Forget it, anyway, it’s not as good as the Chi Xiao Sword. I’ll just use this ox gall as a mission credential.”
Lin Xuan shrugged his shoulders. He wasn’t very interested. Although this ox gall was much better than his standard equipment, it was far inferior to an innate spiritual treasure.
He decided that after returning to the Heavenly Court, he would use this ox gall to complete the mission and exchange it for points. A Xuanxian at the peak of the realm would definitely be worth a huge amount of resources!
“No, I’m still too slow…”
Lin Xuan put away the ox gall, glanced behind him, and frowned. He still felt uneasy. The Seven Demons of Meishan were all not easy to deal with. If they immediately discovered Jin Da Sheng’s demise and came to pursue him, his speed might not be enough to escape!
“In that case, I’ll use Blood Dùn!”
His eyes flashed, and he immediately decided to use the red attribute tag ‘Blood Dùn’!
This was the ability he obtained from the Three-Headed Jiāo. By burning his blood essence, his speed would skyrocket. It was even faster than his ‘Divine Speed’ and ‘Wind Spirit Body’ attribute talents combined!
Boom!!
Suddenly, a violent blood flame erupted around him, and his speed instantly increased by an unknown number of times. Even most Xuanxians could not catch up to him, even the surrounding scenery became blurred!
Thus, Lin Xuan continued to use Blood Dùn and fled directly towards the Heavenly Court.
……………………
On the other side, the core battlefield, near Meishan.
The situation was a one-sided massacre from the beginning. As one after another elite warrior fell, the power contrast between the two sides became increasingly disparate, becoming a complete slaughter. The situation quickly settled.
This grand expedition was a complete defeat for the Heavenly Court army. Of the tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who went into battle, almost all of them were dead. Only a handful of Heavenly Soldiers, who were lucky enough to survive, were able to escape with their lives!
Most of the Heavenly Soldiers became the dinner of several Meishan Demon Kings!
Even those at the level of Golden Immortals suffered disastrous defeats. Huo De Star Monarch perished directly. Although the Giant Spirit God, relying on his deep body refinement cultivation and strong physique, was not killed, he was seriously injured and fled. There was no way around it. Yuan Hong’s strength was too terrifying, nearly exceeding the limits of the Golden Immortal Realm. With his formidable power, he pummeled the Giant Spirit God from the start!
“Hahaha, Big Brother, this time, we Seven Demons of Meishan will become renowned throughout the world!”
“This Heavenly Court really isn’t worth anything. Their Heavenly Soldiers and Generals are nothing more than this. They can only be used to fill our stomachs!”
Several Meishan Demon Kings laughed wildly, slaughtering countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. After the massacre, they were extremely pleased with themselves, feeling a little intoxicated with power.
“Well, what about the Fourth? Where did he go?”
Yuan Hong was also full of bravado. This kind of swagger against the Heavenly Court was indeed exhilarating. However, after looking around, he didn’t see the Fourth, Jin Da Sheng. He couldn’t help but ask.
“Uh, the Fourth went after a True Immortal-level Heavenly Soldier earlier. He should have been back by now.”
“Did he forget about the time because he was tormenting the Heavenly Soldier for too long?”
Yang Xian, the mountain goat demon, said hesitantly. He had forgotten about Jin Da Sheng earlier. Now that the battle was over, he realized something was wrong.
However, chasing after a Heavenly Soldier, there shouldn’t be any unexpected situations, right?
“He hasn’t come back after so long? Dai Li, go investigate the situation.”
Upon hearing that Jin Da Sheng had been gone for a while and had not returned, Yuan Hong furrowed his brow, a sense of foreboding in his heart.
He possessed an innate supernatural ability to discern good fortune and misfortune, his spiritual perception was extremely sharp, and he never overlooked this feeling. He immediately ordered Dai Li, the dog demon, to investigate.
“Yes, Big Brother.”
Dai Li accepted the order and immediately followed the scent of Jin Da Sheng, all the way to the location where the Fourth had disappeared. His nose was extremely sensitive, almost supernatural, able to accurately distinguish countless scents and investigate traces. He was a natural tracker.
Soon, Dai Li returned to Meishan, bringing back a water buffalo corpse…
“The Fourth is dead?!”
Seeing that Jin Da Sheng had actually perished, Yuan Hong erupted in rage!
The other demons were also grim-faced. The Seven Demons of Meishan were deeply connected, and seeing their brother die inexplicably, they all looked murderous!
“Who killed the Fourth?!”
Yuan Hong stared at Dai Li, asking in a low voice.
“Besides the Fourth’s scent, there was only the scent of a Heavenly Soldier at the scene. No other aura was detected.”
Dai Li shook his head. This was all he could investigate.
“A Heavenly Soldier? Not even a Heavenly General, at most a True Immortal. He’s at least a realm higher than the Fourth! It couldn’t have been the Heavenly Soldier.”
Yuan Hong directly shook his head. Based on common sense reasoning, he immediately ruled out the correct answer.
