Volume 2: Chapter 130 - Purple Lock Chain

  Through this mysterious purple lock chain, Lin Xi felt a surging wave of golden ripples, which was the powerful Dragon Yuan within the Taigu True Dragon.

  This "Golden Wave" is stronger than Lin Xi by an unknown number of tens of thousands of times. However, it only belongs to one ten-millionth of the Dragon Yuan within the Taigu True Dragon's body.

  On Taigong Zhenlong's body, there are thousands and thousands of such chains. Each chain controls a part of the dragon yuan inside Taigong Zhenlong's body.

  Lin Xixin had a vague epiphany, only by refining the Tai Gu True Dragon's body and all the purple chains that bound it could he finally control this powerful ancient dragon.

  Once I possess this mighty True Dragon of the Ancient Era, there's no doubt that I'll have unparalleled power!

  "Boom!"

  Lin Xi's mind stirred, and the majestic Dragon Yuan burst forth through the purple lock chain, piercing through the constraints of time and space, and thundered into his body. The next moment, Lin Xi's palms merged, and he violently grasped the bone spear that was about to pierce his own chest.

  This blow was earth-shattering. Lin Xi's hand burst forth with an astonishing Dragon Yuan, forcefully and suddenly pinning down the high-speed spinning bone spear, bringing it to a standstill.

  "It's impossible!"

  This three-peaked demon of refined energy suddenly opened its eyes wide and let out an unbelievable cry of surprise. The bone spear spun at high speed, could be knocked flying, could be pulverized, but there was no human who could stop it with their bare hands.

  This is the devil's art, hell's ultimate skill, and no human should be able to block it with their physical body.

  "Really?"

  Lin Xie suddenly opened his eyes, and in his pupils, there were actually golden vertical pupils, just like a dragon's eyes. Seeing these eyes, this demon suddenly felt a kind of soul-stirring fear, as if being stared at by some terrifying giant creature.

  "This... this is the breath of a dragon, what are you?"

  This ferocious and fearless demon, who had no fear of death, gazed at Lin Xi with a terrified look in its eyes. It felt a subtle yet suffocating aura emanating from Lin Xi's body.

  "You will know after you go back to hell."

  Lin Xi said coldly.

  Whoosh!

  Behind the demon, a golden rainbow flashed, and a huge skull was immediately cut off by Lin Xi's magic sword on both shoulders, flying high into the air. The purple blood spouting from his neck was as high as ten zhang.

  The demon's body was incredibly hard, with flesh and blood dozens of times denser than that of humans. Its skeleton was even harder than steel. Originally, the law sword was unbreakable, but Lin Xi's law sword, after being infused with the dragon yuan of the Taigu True Dragon, became razor-sharp and unstoppable, mysteriously possessing some properties of a dragon claw.

  With just one sword strike, Lin Xi beheaded this evil demon.

  "Qīng Lián Dà Fǎ!"

  In the midst of emptiness, a sudden cry echoed through.

  "It's Qinglian Shizi!"

  Lin Xixin's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly lifted her head. In the void, a vast expanse of clear air condensed into a lotus flower that was several acres in size. The petals of the lotus flower unfolded in the void. Behind Qinglian Shengnu, a majestic figure of a green-robed Bodhisattva appeared. The Bodhisattva's expression was solemn and dignified, with a face that bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Qinglian Shengnu.

  In the void, the chanting of mantras is heard in waves, and there are faint signs of heavenly flowers falling down. Everywhere is a scene of sacredness, solemnity, and peaceful atmosphere.

  "It's an absolute art of Buddhism and Taoism!"

  Lin Xi was shocked.

  The ultimate skill displayed by Qinglian Holy Girl is actually a lost ultimate skill in the Xian Dao world. The Great Bodhisattva that appeared behind her is actually the "Great Bodhisattva" among the Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat in Buddhist mythology!

  "The Great World of Immortals" once mentioned that Buddhism was extremely prosperous in ancient times, with many earth-shattering and extraordinary skills. However, under the erosion of the long river of time, the Buddhist lineage was lost. Only some ancient ruins occasionally retained some remnants of the ancient Buddhist lineage.

  Qinglian Holy Girl, as a disciple of the Shenye Sect, unexpectedly had an ancient Buddhist ultimate skill that was hidden at the bottom of her treasure chest. This was beyond Lin Xi's expectations.

  "Ah! ——"

  A shrill cry came from the void. The big evil demon of the sixth-order seal that Lin Xi had seen earlier, a mass of black smoke swirling around it as if it was on fire, fell from the sky with a loud crash, smashing into the ground and creating a large crater, then remained motionless.

  Qinglian Holy Girl was after all a Seventh Layer Dao Root Period's strong expert, already able to touch the existence of Immortal Qi. She went all out with her full strength, even if the Hell's Great Evil Demon had an extremely powerful life force, it wasn't a match for her.

  Moreover, in "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation", it has been mentioned that the Buddhist scriptures are extremely effective against demons.

  "No wonder Qinglian Shifu often ventures into the small worlds of hell. This time, she's even going to the core of the Furnace Small Hell for a sect mission. It turns out that having such an extraordinary skill by her side!"

  Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.

  Qinglian Holy Girl apparently didn't want to consume her true energy too early and reveal her strength. However, Lin Xi and the others' situation had become very dangerous, and the devils that appeared were becoming more and more numerous, so she couldn't care about anything else anymore.

  "Pure lotus, Sanskrit chanting, Bodhisattva sweet rain!"

  The Holy Maiden Qinglian descended rapidly to the ground, and behind her, the Bodhisattva's incarnation appeared without dispersing. With a split of her palms, a mighty true energy burst out, and a large group of evil demons let out miserable cries one after another, their bodies shrouded in thick smoke, instantly turning into flying ash and disappearing.

  Once Qinglian Shengnu exerted her full strength, it was a battle of gods killing gods and Buddhas blocking Buddhas. Under the foil of Qinglian and Bodhisattva, Qinglian Shengnu seemed like a heavenly being.

  However, I don't know if it's an illusion or not, but Lin Xi always felt that the "Qinglian Great Method" of Qinglian Holy Girl seemed to be a bit incomplete.

  "The Great World of Immortals" is unclear about the Buddhist Taoist language, but Lin Xi has come into contact with Buddhism in another world. The ultimate skill of Qinglian Holy Girl seems to be the result of supplementing the ultimate skill of Buddhism with the ultimate skill of the immortal way, rather than a purely Buddhist ultimate skill.

  "Could it be... that Shifu's sister obtained an incomplete Buddhist ultimate skill?"

  Lin Xi seemed to be thinking of something.

  He beckoned with his palm, and the "Golden Giant Cauldron" and the Wanhuangtu immediately fell into his hands. Around him, the little devils looked at each other in horror and retreated one after another.

  Perhaps humans can't feel this aura, but the demons from the Great Hell World are extremely sensitive to the dragon's aura. Moreover, Lin Xi's body still has the most authentic "Ancient True Dragon" dragon aura.

  Not just the little devils, even those few powerful devils that were far away also unintentionally strayed from Lin Xi's direction. It seemed that direction made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

  Even for this reason, their movements have become somewhat distorted and unsmooth.

  "What's going on?"

  "Mei Yaotou" and another female disciple of the same era were both in a state of confusion.

  This is a low-level mistake, as hell demons with a fighting instinct of slaughter should not make such a low-level mistake. There were even several times when they attacked and became quite clumsy.

  However, such an obvious opportunity that was favorable to them, how could they not seize it. The two of them exchanged several blows, and on the body of the Great Demon, which was dozens of times harder than steel, left behind several deep scars.

  Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

  On the other side, Qinglian Holy Maiden made a swift move, it was simply a divine killing blow. A cyan-colored flying sword spun around her body, and all the small devils within twenty zhang of her didn't even have time to cry out before they fell down like defeated grass.

  "Fall back!"

  Several big demons finally couldn't hold on, feeling that the situation was already lost. Without saying a word, they rolled up the small demons beside them and immediately threw themselves into the scorching underground magma. They actually escaped using the underground magma of the small world of the rock furnace.

  "Don't chase anymore!"

  Qinglian Holy Girl waved her hand and stopped two female disciples of the inner door who were at the stage of Fa Li:

  "The poor devils can't catch up, don't forget! Our main task is not here!"

  "Got it, sister."

  The two stopped in their tracks. Although the ground was scorching hot, a Xian Dao disciple could protect himself with his true energy and might still be able to pursue and kill him.

  However, the underground is different from the ground, and there are hot magma everywhere. Except for the devils of hell, perhaps no one knows the distribution of the underground magma ocean. Moreover, in the underground, I don't know how many demons like this are drifting around with the magma, if they get surrounded, it's going to be a big trouble.

  "Quack! ——"

  A few big devils ran away, and the other small devils saw that things were not going well, so they fled in all directions. However, without the protection of the big devil's hellish energy, these small devils did not dare to dive into the magma, and one by one, like birds and beasts, they scattered in all directions.

  Lin Xi chased after them, killing a few, then heard the voice of Qing Lian Sheng Nu:

  "Lin Xi is back, stop chasing!"

  In this small hell of a furnace, what was least lacking were devils. This point, Lin Xi had already clearly sensed on his way here.

  "Yes, elder sister."

  Lin Xi sheathed his sword and turned to walk towards Qinglian Holy Maiden and the others. A flash of light appeared in his eyes, and the vertical pupils that resembled a dragon's eyes disappeared instantly. The Dragon Yuan on his body also compressed into his dantian.

  "Yao Xue, are you okay?"

  Lin Xi walked over and said.

  Shangguan Yaoyue shook her head: "I'm fine."

  Her face was slightly pale, apparently having received some fright. The situation just now was too sudden. It was clear that these great devils had sensed the breath of the crowd under the ground and had lain in ambush here beforehand.

  Even the sixth-order evil demon appeared. The actual strength of Guan Yuxue's first-order Lianqi was still manageable in the peripheral areas, but entering this deep area was somewhat dangerous.

  Seven people gathered together, Shangguan Yaoyue still didn't feel anything. But the other five people were all staring at Lin Xi in surprise. Even Qinglian Holy Maiden was the same.

  "Lin Shidi, I feel like you're a bit different somehow?"

  Qingju's eyes sparkled with an unusual light, her face full of curiosity.

  "It was just too dangerous, we all thought you were going to die. How did you do it? You actually killed that demon that was about to advance to the Gasian stage?"

  Lan Tai also expressed some surprise.

  "No need to say more. — Lin Shi Di, congratulations, you've made a breakthrough at the critical moment and have been promoted to the second level of Qi Refining!"

  Qinglian Shengnu smiled and said. She just observed carefully for a while, and then gave this answer very affirmatively.

  Among them, her strength was the highest, so she was also the first to discover it.

  "What? Lin Shidi, you've broken through?!"

  Qing Ju, Lan Tai, Zhu Xiang and others were all shocked.
