92: Devouring the Spirit Sea

Lin Yang suppressed the internal rebellion with thunderous momentum, and the cleansing operation proceeded efficiently under his iron-fisted orders.

Most of the traitors, seeing that the ringleaders had been executed and the evidence was irrefutable, gave up resistance and were imprisoned after having their cultivation crippled.

A few die-hards who attempted to flee or put up a desperate fight were quickly quelled by the law enforcement teams led by Chu Yunxi and Chu Yuning.

The entire Star Moon Sect felt as if it had experienced the baptism of a storm; although the ground was in disarray and bloodstains remained fresh, the haze and feeling of suffocation that had shrouded the Sect were swept away, and a new, iron-fisted, and hopeful atmosphere began to coalesce.

All the Disciples were busy cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, and repairing buildings.

Everyone's eyes were exceptionally bright, and when they looked at the figure who had remained standing in the center of the main hall plaza, they were filled with awe and fervor.

Lin Yang dismissed his attendants and stood alone before the Grand Elder's body, which had already lost its Soul.

The reason he had left this empty shell was not to display it to the public, but for—the Chaos Swallowing Heaven Art!

The immense energy that a practitioner at the Minor Accomplishment of Spirit Sea Realm had cultivated throughout its life, although mostly depleted due to severe injuries and Soul-searching, still remained an unprecedentedly great tonic for Lin Yang, who had only recently broken through to the Mid-stage Gang Qi Realm!

More importantly, this was the first time he would devour the Origin of a Spirit Sea Realm expert, and the quality of its energy might have special benefits for the evolution of his chaos star core.

He no longer hesitated, pressed his right hand over the Grand Elder's Qi Sea, and silently circulated the technique in his heart.

"Heaven Swallowing Art, Devour Spirit, Swallow Sea!"

Hum! The chaos star core spun excitedly within his Dantian, erupting with a powerful suction force.

A torrent of energy, far purer, more massive, and carrying the unique aura of the Spirit Sea Realm than any demon core or world heart he had devoured before, surged into Lin Yang's body like a bursting river!

This energy was extremely violent, filled with the Grand Elder's resentment and unwillingness before death, and even contained the Impurities and pill toxins it had accumulated over many years of Cultivation.

If an ordinary Martial Artist dared to devour it in such a way, they would immediately suffer from Qi Deviation and explode to death.

But Lin Yang was no ordinary Martial Artist! The Chaos Swallowing Heaven Art was incomparably tyrannical, and the chaos star core was the most primordial source of purification and devouring in the world!

As the energy entered his body, Lin Yang's Meridians felt a sharp, swelling pain, as if they were about to be torn apart.

But his will was like iron, and he fully circulated his Cultivation Technique.

The chaos star core shone brightly, like a black hole in the Universe, crazily pulling in and refining the surging energy!

The resentment was crushed, the Impurities were removed, and the pill toxins were burned away... What remained was the most primordial, pure energy, which rapidly merged into his limbs and bones and flowed into his Dantian Qi Sea.

His Mid-stage Gang Qi Realm cultivation, which had been slightly unstable due to his recent Breakthrough, became solid and consolidated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to violently charge towards a higher level!

The massive energy pushed his cultivation to break through continuously with irresistible force!

On the surface of his body, dark golden Chaos Gang Qi uncontrollably spilled out, forming a thick cocoon of light that enveloped him.

On the cocoon, grey-golden Chaos runes faintly flickered in and out of existence, emitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation.

The Disciples in the plaza were startled by this sudden, powerful energy fluctuation, and they stopped what they were doing, looking in shock at the figure wrapped in the cocoon of light.

They could feel that the new Sect Master's strength was undergoing a heaven-turning and earth-shattering change!

Bai Wanqing, Su Qingyue, and others quickly rushed over to protect him, with their eyes also filled with shock and joy.

This process lasted for about an hour.

When the last trace of energy was completely refined and absorbed, the cocoon of light slowly dissipated, revealing Lin Yang's figure inside.

He slowly opened his eyes, and brilliant light shot from them like tangible lightning, flashing and then disappearing.

The surging aura around his body slowly retracted, but the unfathomable, abyss-like pressure was several times stronger than before!

High-stage Gang Qi Realm, only one step away from the Peak!

He clenched his fist slightly, feeling the powerful, surging, and seemingly endless strength roaring within his body.

His Chaos Gang Qi was incredibly condensed, and with a slight movement of his mind, it could transform into various weapons and armor as he wished, with power far exceeding what it had been before.

More importantly, devouring the Origin of a Spirit Sea Realm expert gave him a clearer understanding and realization of the next major Realm.

The ocean of liquid True Essence in his Dantian was even more vast, and it seemed to have a trend of transforming into a higher form.

Breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm was no longer out of reach for him; it was a matter of course, needing only a catalyst, perhaps a deep closed-door cultivation, to succeed in one go!

"Congratulations to the Sect Master (Young Lord) for your great advancement in cultivation!" Seeing this, the surrounding crowd excitedly bowed and offered their congratulations.

Lin Yang nodded. His gaze swept over the Sect, which was gradually recovering its order, and he said in a deep voice, "Although the traitors have been cleared, the external enemies have not yet been eliminated.

Pass down the order: step up the repairs to the Sect-protecting array, take inventory of the treasury resources, and tally the casualties.

From this day on, the Sect will enter a wartime state; strictly guard against incoming external enemies!"

"We will strictly obey the Sect Master's order!"

At this moment, no one dared to question Lin Yang's orders anymore.

His strength and his methods had completely conquered the entire Star Moon Sect.
