Chapter 1488: Chapter 1488: Duel of Swords
Now, the Ancient Divine Body has broken through to the Third Major Success Realm. Whether in terms of defense or recovery, it is several times greater than before. With the addition of the Fiery Fire Profound Armor, Lin Chen now has full confidence that at least in terms of defense, he no longer fears Yun Kaige.
As for attacking, Lin Chen now mastered the First Layer of the Fire Control Technique. Although it’s only a Minor Achievement, in this sea of fire, there is the most violent fire attribute energy, and this will be Lin Chen’s main battlefield.
Wanting to defeat Yun Kaige and others in the sea of fire may not be difficult for Lin Chen.
With this in mind, Lin Chen decided to leave this place and go outside to meet Yun Kaige and the others.
Lin Chen also firmly believed that those guys were probably still hanging around.
With such a big feud with him, if they don’t kill him, Yun Kaige might find it hard to eat and sleep in peace.
If Lin Chen guessed correctly, Yun Kaige has now probably joined forces with Shi An and the people from the Black Yan Hall, swearing to kill him.
"Little Profound Turtle, let’s go. We should go meet those guys up there."
Lin Chen looked at the Little Profound Turtle, which was enjoying itself immensely in the sea of fire, and said.
During this time, the Little Profound Turtle had absorbed a lot of fire attribute energy in this sea of fire, greatly enhancing its physique and spiritual power.
Xuanwu controls the power of the Five Elements, yet the True Fire power within the Little Profound Turtle was not much at first. Moreover, when it awakened its bloodline, the power it mastered was the water attribute, that is, purified water.
But now, having absorbed the fire attribute energy from the sea of fire, the Little Profound Turtle had unexpectedly mastered the True Fire power.
"Lin Chen, this place is a cultivation treasure site. Although it can’t compare to your Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron’s Second Layer Space, cultivating here also has many benefits. Are we leaving already?"
The Little Profound Turtle, upon hearing Lin Chen say they were leaving, said somewhat reluctantly.
After all, if it continued to absorb the fire attribute energy from the sea of fire, the Little Profound Turtle might make the True Fire power even stronger.
"We’re not leaving, rather, we’re going up to settle scores with those guys who chased me. You don’t want us to be bullied for nothing and not retaliate, right?"
Lin Chen looked at the Little Profound Turtle and said slowly.
"So that’s it. That’s great, I can just try out the power I’ve mastered recently, watch me burn that guy with a mouthful of true fire."
The Little Profound Turtle said excitedly.
Previously, when Lin Chen was chased by Yun Kaige, it was quite unhappy and wanted to help Lin Chen teach Yun Kaige a lesson, but Lin Chen wouldn’t allow it. Now, it finally had the chance to act.
"No, you can’t act. The truth is, we don’t know what sort of hidden trump card that guy has. Unless it’s a life-and-death situation, you shouldn’t reveal yourself, leave this battle to me, and just watch from inside my sleeve."
Lin Chen said to the Little Profound Turtle, still not willing to risk exposing the presence of the Little Profound Turtle.
"I don’t need to act? You can handle that guy yourself, are you sure?"
The Little Profound Turtle looked at Lin Chen, not quite believing in Lin Chen’s abilities, after all, Lin Chen had just been in seclusion, his combat strength couldn’t have increased that much, he was still being chased by that guy before.
"Relax, it should be fine, and don’t ask me such questions about whether or not I’m capable, it’s very sensitive."
Lin Chen looked at the Little Profound Turtle and said indifferently.
"Why can’t I ask if you can do it?"
The Little Profound Turtle asked again, puzzled.
"Uh... just don’t ask such questions, there’s no way I can’t."
Lin Chen said indifferently, after all, as a man, he would never allow others to question his capabilities.
Then, the man and the beast left the cave temporarily, floating towards the top of the sea of fire.
...
During the time Lin Chen was in seclusion beneath the sea of fire, Yun Kaige and the others were not idle either. They used the fire attribute energy of the sea of fire to temper their bodies, and during these two weeks, their cultivation had made significant progress.
Yun Kaige did not expect that cultivating above the sea of fire would be so effective.
He even felt that as long as he was given enough time to continue cultivating, he had confidence in breaking through to the Creation Realm.
However, he didn’t dare to really attempt a breakthrough, because who knew if he could still leave these ruins once his cultivation was advanced.
In Yun Kaige’s opinion, Lin Chen had not appeared from under the sea of fire for two weeks, so he presumed Lin Chen had already perished beneath it.
After all, Lin Chen had used up nearly a hundred talismans, suggesting that his supply of talisman inscriptions had probably been exhausted.
And these two weeks, Yun Kaige and the others had been guarding above the sea of fire, and nobody emerged from below, so he was convinced Lin Chen was dead.
After staying below the sea of fire for a whole two weeks, even the most powerful of beings would probably not endure the burning of the sea of fire.
Thinking that this Heavenly Pride had finally fallen, Yun Kaige internally breathed a sigh of relief. Given enough time, he would become the next great power like those from a hundred years ago.
However, just as Yun Kaige was thinking this, the sea of fire below suddenly became immensely turbulent. A blaze shot up into the sky, and within it was the silhouette of a figure, which also slashed out a brilliant light, transforming into a fiery sword qi, attacking Yun Kaige.
Facing this sudden change, Yun Kaige was terrified, and for a moment, he felt a fatal threat from the fiery sword qi.
Seeing this situation, Yun Kaige did not dare to be careless, and immediately, with a sharp sword in hand, without any defense, he also slashed out a sword, meeting that sword light.
Yun Kaige didn’t want to be passive. Since the opponent dared to draw swords against him, he wanted to see whose sword qi was stronger.
After slashing out this sword, Yun Kaige was convinced that the opponent would draw back their sword to block, because in Yun Kaige’s view, among the martial artists who could enter these ruins, no one’s attack would be stronger than his sword qi. If the opponent chose to duel with him, they would surely suffer from this sword, and definitely perish.
Therefore, if the opponent wanted to live, they would undoubtedly have to draw their sword to block.
However, Yun Kaige misjudged. Faced with Yun Kaige’s counterattack, Lin Chen was unyielding and still slashed down with his sword.
Boom——
As the two sword lights collided, powerful energy burst forth with the point of their confrontation as the center, blasting back towards each other’s rear.
Poof——
Yun Kaige was hit by the sword, a large area in front of him instantly dyed red, causing him immense pain.
For so many years, he actually experienced the feeling of being injured, so unfamiliar, particularly through swordplay, his most skilled form of attack.
After the clash of swords, Yun Kaige also clearly saw his opponent’s face.
