197: Chapter 197 Merging with the Blood of Slaughter, Breaking Through to the Fourth Level of the Profound Realm

Lin Yuan knew better than anyone how much the Slaughter Domain boosted him. If he obtained the Blood of Slaughter, not only would his strength increase greatly, but his control over the heavenly slaughter sword would also surge.

When using the heavenly slaughter sword again, he would be able to exert greater power while consuming less of his own energy.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan curved his fingers into a claw, using telekinesis to pull the Lord of Slaughter's heart into his hand.

With a jolt of spiritual energy in his hand, the heart immediately dissipated. Hovering above his palm was a drop of essence blood shrouded in crimson energy.

“Kid Lin, when you fuse with it, you must guard your heart firmly. Remember not to let it affect your mind!” Chu Yunfeng reminded him.

Lin Yuan nodded and directly stuffed the essence blood into his mouth.

The moment the essence blood entered his mouth, a boundless killing intent surged in his heart, as if he couldn't control it, wanting to slay everything in the world.

Immediately after, the essence blood darted directly to the position of his heart, turning his entire heart crimson. His heart beat violently, as if it were about to explode.

Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly became incredibly crimson. The spirit-extinguishing bone-corroding sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed out with a single strike.

Rumble!!

The palace shook violently, but it did not collapse. It seemed this palace was not simple either.

“Ah!!”

Lin Yuan roared at the sky, and the bone sword in his hand also turned crimson. He slashed wildly at his surroundings, as streaks of crimson sword qi ravaged the palace...

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan finally stopped his frenzied slashing and gradually calmed down. The crimson color all over his body also slowly faded away.

Clarity returned to his eyes; he had finally endured the encroachment of the Blood of Slaughter.

“Kid Lin, congratulations! You have successfully fused the Blood of Slaughter. Once the heart of slaughter condenses, you will become the most powerful overlord in this starry sky!” Chu Yunfeng's voice came through.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, his heart not feeling much of a ripple.

【Ding! Detected the birth of the Blood of Slaughter within the host's body. The Slaughter Domain evolution is complete! The Slaughter Domain's boost to basic combat power has increased from 50% to 100%.】

The system prompt sounded, and the corners of Lin Yuan's mouth curled up slightly. The other attributes of the Slaughter Domain hadn't changed, but the boost to basic combat power had increased from 50% to 100%. This alone was a massive improvement.

Once the Slaughter Domain opened, his combat power would double. This kind of ability crushed all other domains...

Just then, the Lord of Slaughter's body suddenly turned into fly ash and dissipated in the palace. The surrounding red mist seemed to lose its energy support and vanished without a trace.

Lin Yuan wasn't surprised. Since he had fused with the Blood of Slaughter, this mist would naturally dissipate.

Walking out of the palace, Lin Yuan waved his hand and stored the entire small palace away.

“Kid Lin, it's not advisable to stay on Wasteland Star for long. Now that the blood mist has dissipated, it can no longer stop high-level martial artists from descending. It's better to leave as soon as possible,” Chu Yunfeng reminded him.

“Mm, I understand.”

...

Lin Yuan's clone had been leading Wan Feiyu around the vicinity, searching for secret realms, but they had consistently found nothing.

He had no other choice; his clone's range was only ten kilometers. Any further and he would be exposed. Fortunately, the time wasted in this tomb wasn't very long.

Lin Yuan directly used a clone swap, appearing beside Wan Feiyu, while the clone entered the underground tomb.

“Brother Lin, there seems to be no trace of any secret realm here. Why don't we go explore somewhere else?”

Wan Feiyu suggested. Although he was in awe of Lin Yuan's strength, he still had to speak up; searching here forever wasn't the answer.

“Brother Wan, if you trust me, we should leave Wasteland Star immediately. Something big is about to happen here,” Lin Yuan said in a low voice.

“Ah? It was fine just now, why would something big happen?” Wan Feiyu was puzzled.

“There's no time to explain. If you trust me, we leave immediately!”

“Okay! Brother Lin, I trust you!”

Wan Feiyu had already been won over by Lin Yuan. Since he was so certain, he would follow him and see what exactly was going on.

“Good! Let's go!”

The two immediately took to the air, streaking frantically toward the high sky. Before long, they broke through the atmosphere of Wasteland Star.

“Eh? Brother Lin, why has the red mist on the periphery of Wasteland Star dissipated? Doesn't this mean...”

Wan Feiyu immediately covered his mouth. He finally knew why Lin Yuan was in such a hurry to leave. With the red mist gone, high-level martial artists would definitely descend.

There were countless secret realms here, which weren't things low-level martial artists like them could meddle with. Furthermore, the Yu Family would definitely investigate the cause of Yu Ziyang's death. If they didn't leave now, they wouldn't be able to.

But how did Lin Yuan know the red mist outside had dissipated? Hadn't he been with him the whole time?...

“Brother Wan, after meeting up with Steward Wang and the others, let's go back to Silver Moon Star,” Lin Yuan said with a smile.

“Okay, okay. Thank you, Brother Lin!”

The two immediately flew toward Steward Wang's location. Before long, the Wan Family vessel set its return course, and the group successfully left Wasteland Star.

On the vessel, Lin Yuan began to close his eyes and rest, while Wan Feiyu did not disturb him. Instead, he whispered with Steward Wang in a corner. Steward Wang occasionally looked toward Lin Yuan with shock.

“Young Master, according to your description, this person is definitely not simple and is extremely mysterious. You must never offend him. You must build a good relationship with him; perhaps this person can even lend you a helping hand,” Steward Wang said in a low voice.

“Mm-hmm, that's what I was thinking too...” Wan Feiyu nodded.

Lin Yuan didn't pay them any attention at all; he was currently focusing on his breakthrough.

It was relatively safe here, and keeping transcendent points was useless; increasing his strength was the most important thing.

In his left leg, a vortex formed, and in his dantian, the fourth star took shape. He finally broke through to the Mystic Realm Fourth Level.

The data on the system panel was also updated.

【Martial Path】: Mystic Realm Fourth Level

【combat power】: 15 Nuclei

【transcendent points】: 40

His combat power had undoubtedly reached the standard for the Profound Mystery Realm Fifth Level, still maintaining a base combat power that surpassed his level.

If he could use his divine abilities without restraint, he really wouldn't have anything to fear within the Profound Mystery Realm. However, divine abilities must not be revealed for now. Once he reached the Law Realm and had the power to protect himself, he could use them as he pleased.

Even without using divine abilities, with the addition of the Slaughter Domain and the stars in his dantian, below the seventh level of the Profound Mystery Realm, as long as he didn't seek death, it wouldn't be easy for others to kill him. It might even be possible for him to kill them instead.

“When I get back, I'll first deal with the Xiao Family. If the other families aren't well-behaved, I'll deal with them too. In any case, the medicinal herb business on Silver Moon Star can only belong to Linggu Village,” Lin Yuan decided secretly.

Once the matters in Tianxing City were settled, he could focus on dealing with the Yu Family. Although he had done a clean job, if the Yu Family wasn't stupid, they definitely wouldn't let him off.

Once I've taken down the Yu Family, I'll have a solid foothold in the Starfire Star Alliance. Next will be the time for Blue Star to march into the starry sky.

There's also the need to go to the Neptune Star Alliance to settle Huang Chaoran's grudge, and the promise with Qianqian in the Liuyun Star Domain...

Thinking of all this, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a mountain of pressure. There were still many, many things waiting for him to complete.

Just then, through the cabin window, Lin Yuan saw the silvery Silver Moon Star. He instantly ended the stray thoughts in his mind.

“Xiao Family, I'll start with you!...”
