Chapter 323: Chapter 298 True Body Sixth Refining_1
"Senior."
Shen Yinuo’s face changed, taking a step to stand in front of Lu Yan, she said, "If senior wants to kill him, then you should kill me as well."
"Hehehe..."
A shriveled laugh came from Saint Yan, his killing intent retracted.
Lu Yan immediately felt the pressure lessen, letting out a long breath.
"The girl’s love for her sweetheart is admirable, genuine and heartfelt, even willing to give up her life."
"Previously, according to my rules, all who enter this place must die, but for the little girl’s sake, I can spare him."
"Additionally, this kid is extremely talented, at such a young age, he has managed to cultivate so many Martial Arts to Unity of Man and Martial Arts, even I have only seen a few in my time, he is worthy of the little girl."
Said Saint Yan.
"Senior, there are a few others who followed us in here, senior could try killing them."
Shen Yinuo tentatively said.
"Little girl, trying to use me to kill? Just a mere Primordial Spirit at the First Transformation, there isn’t a need for me to make a move, you can handle it after making progress."
Finishing, Saint Yan blurred for a second and disappeared without a trace.
"Little girl, remember your promise, if you can help me reincarnate, I can fulfill three of your requests, without any refusal."
Again, Saint Yan’s voice sounded by their ears, but they had no idea where Saint Yan had gone.
They hadn’t seen how Saint Yan left, or in which direction.
The gap was too great.
Even in this state, one couldn’t fathom how powerful he was in his prime.
"This place, full of lava, could it be left behind by senior Saint Yan’s Crossing the Tribulation?"
Lu Yan guessed.
This island, filled with Wish Patterns, it’s likely that they were laid out by Saint Yan years ago to counter the Heavenly Tribulation.
"It should be so." Shen Yinuo nodded.
"Lu Yan, senior Saint Yan has given me the Nine Yang Divine Stone, you can use those two Purple Flame Lotuses."
Shen Yinuo spoke again, raising her voice slightly.
Lu Yan understood that Shen Yinuo was testing Saint Yan, to see if he would object.
However, there was no response from Saint Yan.
That meant consent.
Lu Yan nodded, walked over, picked a Purple Flame Lotus, plucked a leaf and swallowed it in one gulp.
Suddenly, a burst of heat exploded from his body, permeated throughout his body, and sank deep."
Lu Yan felt warm all over, as if being forged by fire.
In the end, Lu Yan simply swallowed a whole Purple Flame Lotus, his body radiating with a purple glow as if he were enveloped in a layer of purple flame."
Ding ding ding...
Dong dong dong...
Lu Yan seemed to hear such sounds from within his body, as if undergoing thousands of hardenings.
While Lu Yan was cultivating, Shen Yinuo also sat cross-legged. She threw the Nine Yang Divine Stone into the Great Sun Melting Furnace, using its power to refine the Divine Stone.
The Great Sun Melting Furnace was suspended above Shen Yinuo’s head, pouring down streams of hot energy that enveloped and was absorbed by Shen Yinuo.
Both of them devoted themselves entirely to cultivation.
Here, there was absolutely no need for a protector.
Because, they both believed, with Saint Yan, no one could harm them.
As for Saint Yan, if he wanted to harm them, no amount of preparedness would be of use.
In the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed.
One Purple Flame Lotus had been completely refined by Lu Yan, but his True Body hadn’t transformed, it was still lacking.
With the increase of his Cultivation Level, transforming his True Body was getting more and more difficult, the energy required had reached a staggering level.
If it was an ordinary person, one Purple Flame Lotus could raise the refining process from five to six times, let alone from seven to eight times.
Boom!
At this moment, a strong aura enveloped Shen Yinuo’s body, her body radiated a brilliant light, astonishingly she had completed the refining earlier and stepped into True Body Sixth Refining.
Moreover, after reaching True Body Sixth Refining, Shen Yinuo showed no signs of stopping her cultivation, she was still increasing.
It was evident that the Nine Yang Divine Stone was extraordinary. It was not just a simple upgrade of a level.
Lu Yan did not hesitate anymore, he took the second Purple Flame Lotus, and swallowed it.
Half a day later.
A strong aura also enveloped Lu Yan’s body, his internal organs were trembling lightly, muscles were wriggling, bones made thunderous sounds.
After a while, it calmed down, Lu Yan had successfully completed the refining, stepping into True Body Sixth Refining, his strength greatly increased.
"The second Purple Flame Lotus is not fully refined yet."
Lu Yan thought to himself, continued refining the Purple Flame Lotus, accummulating it within his body. In the future when he needed to reach True Body Seventh Refinement, it might save him a lot of energy.
Half a day later, the remaining Purple Flame Lotus was completely refined, Lu Yan got up, twisted his neck, and his body made crackling sounds.
"Now, am I ready to fight that middle-aged Primordial Spirit Realm woman?"
Intense fighting spirit flickered in Lu Yan’s eyes.
Originally, he was planning to run.
Now, he doesn’t anymore.
After being beaten so badly previously, this revenge must be taken.
Shen Yinuo was still cultivating.
Lu Yan walked to the side of the island towards the place with the Wish Pattern, stopping to look forward.
Sure enough, the middle-aged woman and others had not given up, they were still trying to erase the Wish Pattern.
"That boy is still..."
The beautiful woman saw Lu Yan, her eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Lu Yan took out his bow and arrow, and fired an arrow at the middle-aged woman and the others.
Of course, it was disintegrated by the Wish Pattern before it even reached halfway.
Lu Yan’s move was aimed at provoking.
Now, he was afraid that the others would bail and leave this place.
Although he estimated that if the others really ran away early, Saint Yan would not let them go.
"You thief..."
The middle-aged woman coldly retorted, her anger surging.
Lu Yan gave a slight smile and retreated back to where Yinuo was cultivating.
In the blink of an eye, another day passed.
A strong aura once again enveloped Shen Yinuo.
"True Body Seventh Refinement."
Lu Yan silently sighed. The Nine Yang Divine Stone was extraordinary—it enabled Shen Yinuo to refine her body twice consecutively, transforming her real body twice as well.
No wonder it’s a treasure bestowed by Saint Yan.
Several hours later, Shen Yinuo ended her cultivation and stood tall.
"Yinuo, congratulations on reaching the True Body Seventh Refinement."
Lu Yan smiled, happy for Shen Yinuo.
"The Nine Yang Divine Stone truly is unfathomable. It allowed me to break through twice. It isn’t completely refined yet, though. The remaining core is too tough, the ensuing refining won’t be easy and will require some time," Shen Yinuo explained.
Lu Yan was shocked—she had broken through twice and still hadn’t completed the refining process.
"Lu Yan, how about we compare notes to familiarize ourselves with our strengths?" Shen Yinuo suggested.
Shen Yinuo’s power surge needed some finetuning. If not, she wouldn’t be able to control her powers effectively.
"Alright, but those guys are still there. Let’s spar at a distance so we don’t scare them off," Lu Yan replied.
The two headed opposite directions and began to spar.
They contained their power and didn’t cause massive disturbances. After half a day, Shen Yinuo gained initial control over her rapidly increased strength.
"Let’s go. Let’s kill them all."
A cold light flashed in Shen Yinuo’s eyes.
"Let’s go from the other side, circle to their back, and catch them off guard," Lu Yan proposed, which was highly agreed upon by Shen Yinuo.
Shen Yinuo began searching for weaknesses in the Wish Pattern Formation.
A while later, they silently left the island and stealthily circled the perimeter, reaching the rear of the middle-aged woman and her group.
Lu Yan took out the Starfall Bow, drew the bowstring, and poured his intense True Vigor into the arrow.
Whoosh!
The arrow shot out like lightning, aimed at a man in a black robe.
"Be careful!"
The middle-aged woman’s keen Spiritual Perception alerted her to the danger, and she yelled out, but it was too late.
With a soft thud, the man in the black robe was hit by the arrow and his body exploded.
What?
Both Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo looked surprised. The man’s blown body revealed the Will Power Pattern, which was trying to link the shattered parts and mend itself back together, much like what happened to the villagers.
Whoosh! Whoosh!...
Lu Yan continuously fired arrows. In a breath’s time, he fired seven arrows.
Moreover, every arrow was a Nine Ring Arrow.
As Lu Yan predicted, once he entered the True Body Sixth Refining stage, he could instantaneously unleash the Nine Ring Arrow.
The seven arrows cut through the void, leaving a streak of light in their path.
The middle-aged woman swung her golden long stick and deflected two arrows.
With two loud explosions, the middle-aged woman trembled and staggered back two steps, her face changed drastically as her arm went numb.
She could block the arrows, but the others couldn’t.
The remaining five arrows hit four men in black robes since one man got hit twice.
Although they responded and desperately tried to defend themselves against Lu Yan, it was in vain.
The arrows sailed through their attacks and defenses, hitting their bodies. Their bodies exploded in succession.
Boom!
Shen Yinuo raised her foot mid-air and deployed the Great Sun Melting Furnace, which suppressed them all like a mountain of fire.
The four exploded men in black robes had their Will Power Pattern destroyed. Their broken bodies turned to ash under the Great Sun Melting Furnace.
Then, the Great Sun Melting Furnace changed direction and repressed the middle-aged woman.
Clang!
The middle-aged woman swung her long stick to strike the Great Sun Melting Furnace, causing a deafening roar.
The Great Sun Melting Furnace shook and flew back, but the middle-aged woman also faltered backward five or six steps.
"Great Sun God Fist!"
Shen Yinuo punched out with her fists, and they appeared like two suns as she bombarded the middle-aged woman. At the same time, the Great Sun Melting Furnace flew back and continued to suppress her.
Meanwhile, Lu Yan continually drew and shot arrows at the remaining two men in black robes and a stunningly beautiful woman.
The stunning woman swung her sword and barely deflected an arrow, but the sword was knocked out of her hand.
Whoosh!
Another Nine Ring Arrow flew toward the stunning woman.
A bracelet on her wrist lit up, and a long snake wound around it.
Clang!
The arrow hit the snake directly, and the immense force threw the stunning woman back. She landed in the Wish Pattern Formation on the island.
A vast number of Wish Patterns advanced, turning into a group of ferocious tigers and pouncing on the stunning woman.
"Protector, help me!"
The stunning woman screamed in horror, struggling to break free. With the aid of the Spiritual Treasure’s protection, she finally broke out of the Wish Pattern’s range. But the light of the Spiritual Treasure dimmed, and the protective snake, flickering like a candle flame in the wind, seemed to be extinguishing at any moment.
Thud!
Yet another arrow flew in, piercing through the snake and directly through her forehead.
The stunning woman’s eyes widened in disbelief and hazed over. Her head exploded, and her headless body fell to the ground.
The other two men in black robes were also killed by Lu Yan’s arrows.
Lu Yan pointed his bow and arrow at the middle-aged woman.
