66: Divine Sense Technique

What a joke; that was a Prodigy who had condensed a 9th-tier Divine Thought!

Mere Soul Annihilation Winds, what was there to fear? No one knew that, deep within Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, the towering tree of Divine Thought had already silently risen to a height of thirty thousand meters!

Its canopy was like a magnificent parasol. Among the branches and leaves, three new Law leaves had sprouted. The dao patterns upon them were becoming increasingly complex and profound, flowing with a primitive dao rhyme that made one's heart tremble.

When the final Soul Annihilation Wind finally exhausted itself and dissipated, the giant tree of Divine Thought within Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness had reached a majestic height of forty thousand meters!

He sank his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness and keenly caught that among the three new Law leaves, the two representing the Soul Dao Law and the Law of Destruction were generating a strange resonance, like a heartbeat!

The powers of these two supreme Laws, with their diametrically opposed attributes, were actually attracting and intertwining at the edges of the leaves, forming a circle of deep and mysterious dark gold light that pulsed like a breath.

"The Soul Dao encompasses all things, while Destruction annihilates everything... Encompassing and Annihilating..." As Lin Yuan introspected upon this profound scene, a flash of inspiration exploded in his mind like lightning!

The encompassing nature of the Soul Dao Law, which could take in all rivers, was able to achieve an inconceivable dynamic balance with the extreme explosive power of the Law of Destruction, which could burn through the eight wastelands! A concept sufficient to overturn the entire system of Divine Thought attacks instantly took shape in his heart!

Taking advantage of the brief respite, Lin Yuan stirred his thoughts. Above his palm, endless nine-colored Divine Thought radiance gathered, compressed, and condensed! A translucent short blade, about a foot long and ancient in appearance, slowly formed!

The main body of the blade displayed a gentle and restrained luster, as if it could contain all things—that was the base color of the Soul Dao Law. Yet, upon the razor-thin edge, wisps of crimson blood lines, slithering like living creatures, were entwined, emitting an aura of destruction that made one's Divine Soul tremble!

"Fuse!" With a soft shout, it was like the sound of the Dao! Hum—! The short blade suddenly trembled violently, emitting a humming sound like a Dragon's roar!

The gentle jade color and the violent blood color, like two Dragons, began to spiral, intertwine, and fuse frantically! In the end, all the radiance was restrained, and the entire short blade transformed into a unique dark gold, containing destruction within and displaying tolerance without.

A terrifyingly sharp aura, one that made one's scalp tingle and seemed capable of tearing apart the Divine Soul and collapsing Laws, spread silently! Where the blade pointed, the surrounding space actually emitted faint groans, visibly twisting and folding!

"It is done!" A light of understanding that could pierce the Void Realm exploded from Lin Yuan's eyes!

A normal Cultivator's Divine Thought attack was like smashing with a rough, stubborn stone; but this "Soul Annihilation Blade" had tempered his Divine Thought a thousand times, forging it into a peerless divine blade that could sever a hair and was indestructible!

Its power far exceeded a single Divine Thought attack by more than fifty percent!

Just at this moment, the final and most violent Soul Annihilation Wind, carrying the might to destroy souls and shatter spirits, descended with a boom like a celestial river pouring backward!

Lin Yuan was not afraid; instead, intense Battle Intent and excitement burned in his eyes—this was simply a whetstone delivered to his door!

"Soul Annihilation Slash!" The dark gold short blade left his hand silently! There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a thin dark gold line, moving faster than the limits of thought, flashing through the violent Soul Annihilation storm!

Rip—!!! It was like the sound of tearing silk! The terrifying Soul Annihilation Wind, which was enough to cause the Divine Soul of an ordinary Spirit Refining Realm Peak Cultivator to dissipate instantly, was actually split in two by this thin dark gold line!

What was even more shocking was that the gap in the storm, once slashed open, did not heal instantly. Instead, it was as if an eternal curse had been applied; the residual power of the Law of Destruction, like maggots attached to bones, frantically eroded and collapsed the storm itself, forming a "scar" that could not heal for a long time!

The space where the thin dark gold line had passed even left behind spiderweb-like, fine black cracks that did not dissipate for a long time!

"Hm?!" On the high platform, the Inspector Mo Xuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. His sharp gaze instantly locked onto the location where Lin Yuan was! He had clearly caught the fleeting, extraordinary Law fluctuation!

That fluctuation... carried an intent of destruction and annihilation that made even him, a powerhouse of the Feather Transformation Realm, feel a trace of heart palpitations!

However, when his Divine Thought swept over like a tide, all abnormalities strangely returned to calm, as if it were just a bit of noise in the operation of the Formation.

"An illusion?" Mo Xuan frowned deeply, and in the end, could only withdraw his gaze suspiciously, but he had already quietly noted that location in his heart.

Lin Yuan, immersed in the profound pleasure of creating a technique, was completely unaware of the external probing.

He continuously fine-tuned the ratio of the two Laws in the Soul Annihilation Blade: if the Soul Dao was too strong, the sharpness would be restrained, and the power would be insufficient; if the Destruction was too strong, it would be difficult to control, causing a backlash against himself.

After dozens of extremely precise attempts, he finally anchored the ratio precisely at 85% Soul Dao and 15% Destruction—the Soul Annihilation Blade now was stable and controllable, with its power enhancement fixed at fifty percent!

"Time... is still too short." Lin Yuan withdrew his Divine Thought with a hint of regret, and the dark gold short blade turned into a stream of light and submerged into his glabella.

If he could be given enough time to fully comprehend the Fusion and bring this "Soul Annihilation Slash" to perfection... a doubling of power would not be a delusion! At that time, within the same rank, who could be his match?

The storm completely subsided.

In Lin Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, at the top of the giant tree of Divine Thought, the two Law leaves representing Soul Dao and Destruction were clearly a size larger than the other leaves, and the patterns of their leaf veins were complex and profound to the extreme.

Their entire bodies flowed with deep dark gold divine radiance, emitting a Law pressure that made one's heart tremble.

"So this Soul Annihilation Wind... is not just a test," Lin Yuan looked at the completely dissipated storm, his eyes flashing with sharp light, "it is also a supreme treasure land for tempering Divine Thought and honing Laws!"

When the platform became completely calm, only ten jade platforms remained, emitting weak yet tenacious light.

On the Soul Testing Pillar in front of Lin Yuan, although the Soul Fire appeared dim, it was like a candle in the wind, stubbornly refusing to extinguish, indicating the unfathomable foundation of its owner.

"The final of the Six-Star Great World selection." Mo Xuan flicked his long sleeves, and ten purple-gold streams of light shot precisely toward the survivors, "Top ten Saints, hold this command token. Three days later, go to the Spirit Martial Hall headquarters on the Central Continent to participate in the final competition!"

Upon receiving the command token, Lin Yuan instantly felt the pure spatial power, vast as the sea, sealed within it!

Inside this small command token, a complete cross-continent teleportation Formation was actually engraved!

His gaze swept over the other nine people, all of whom were at the 7th or 8th level of the Spirit Refining Realm, but at this moment, each one of them was weak, their Divine Thoughts withered, like candles in the wind.

Yan Jin of the Burning Heaven Great World, this once arrogant Saint, struggled to lift his head at this moment. His originally unruly face was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and his hoarse voice was like a broken bellows: "You... who exactly are you?!"

Xue Li of the Ice Soul Great World—her stunningly beautiful face was now pale as paper, her ice-blue eyes had lost all luster, leaving only endless confusion and despair, and the crimson bloodstains remaining at the corners of her mouth were shocking to the eye.

That Saint with black wings on his back had his wings broken, and he was staring fixedly at Lin Yuan with eyes full of suspicion and unwillingness...

Lin Yuan turned a deaf ear to their questions, simply brushing his spotless sleeves in an extremely casual manner, as if brushing off a speck of dust.

His gaze had already turned toward the broader Central Continent! But before that, he wanted to leave an indelible legend in the Xuanxiao Great World!

He stirred his thoughts! Hum!!! The Soul Testing Pillar in front of him, which had been dim, suddenly erupted with ten thousand zhang of divine light! The Soul Fire on the pillar, as if injected with endless divine energy, changed colors frantically!

Gold—! Dazzling and eye-catching! Crimson—! Scorching and pressing! Pale silver—! The edge was revealed! Finally, under the suffocatingly silent gaze of the entire audience, the Soul Fire completely stabilized, blooming with a pure, noble, and seemingly time-freezing—dazzling silver!!!

"Boom—!!!" The entire spectator stand was like being thrown into a boiling oil pan, instantly exploding completely! Gasps, intakes of breath, and unbelievable screams shot straight into the sky!

"Silver... Silver Soul Fire?!" A veteran powerhouse with white hair and beard, highly respected, suddenly sprang up from his seat. The priceless spirit jade teacup in his hand shattered with a "crack," but he was completely unaware, only staring fixedly at that pillar of silver light!

"7th-tier Divine Thought! It's a 7th-tier Divine Thought!!!"

"Heavens! How could a Six-Star Great World... possibly give birth to a monster with a 7th-tier Divine Thought?!"

"The Soul Testing Pillar! The Soul Testing Pillar must be broken!!!"

Doubt, shock, fear... all kinds of emotions spread like a plague. The entire selection platform fell into unprecedented chaos and madness!

The pupils of Inspector Mo Xuan shrank to pinpoints at this moment! His figure disappeared from the spot as if teleporting, and the next moment he had appeared in front of Lin Yuan's Soul Testing Pillar!

His palms, which had experienced countless storms and were as steady as mountains, were now trembling slightly, imperceptibly, as they gently touched the cold pillar.

Boom! A vast, pure silver Divine Thought fluctuation, carrying a supreme sense of oppression, surged through his palm!

The shock on Mo Xuan's face could no longer be concealed, turning into sheer horror. His voice was dry and heavy, as if squeezed from the depths of his throat: "It is certain... it is a 7th-tier Divine Thought!" He swallowed hard, word by word, as if declaring a divine oracle: "It is also... the legendary silver quality! The Xuanxiao Great World... no, the entire Six-Star Great World sequence, a miracle unseen in thirty thousand years!!!"

Lin Yuan's expression was calm, as if he had only done a trivial thing, and he slowly withdrew his Divine Thought. The silver pillar of light on the Soul Testing Pillar that pierced the sky subsequently retracted.

But everyone knew that at this very moment, a legend destined to shake the entire Spirit Martial Hall, and even the Central Continent, had been born before their eyes!

Yan Jin of the Burning Heaven Great World, his face like gold paper and his eyes blood-red, stared fixedly at the Soul Testing Pillar that still had a residual silver halo. His throat rolled violently, his lips trembled, but he could not make a single sound, as if his throat had been gripped by an invisible giant hand. Only his fingernails dug deep into his palms, dripping with blood!

Xue Li of the Ice Soul Great World collapsed completely on the cold jade platform. The confidence brought by the 4th-tier Divine Thought she had once been so proud of was crushed to pieces in front of the dazzling 7th-tier silver light, not leaving even a single scrap behind!

"Silence—!!!" Inspector Mo Xuan's stern shout, containing supreme majesty, exploded like thunder from the Nine Heavens, carrying the terrifying pressure of the Peak of the Feather Transformation Realm, instantly suppressing the clamor, doubt, and chaos of the entire venue!

He took a step forward, his figure seeming to tear through space, and arrived directly in front of Lin Yuan's Soul Testing Pillar. That old palm, which contained the power to collapse mountains and break cliffs, pressed heavily onto the body of the pillar!
