48: Chapter 48 A Thousandfold Return, Immortal Source Ancestral Vein!

Just at this moment.

Lin Yi's System prompt sounded once again.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Host has gifted the Destined Female Lead an Imperial Rank Top Grade treasure — ancient divine source!]

[The Destined Female Lead's favorability has increased by a massive, massive, massive amount again!]

[Triggered a thousand-fold return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for receiving the reward — immortal source ancestral vein (Immortal Rank Low Grade)!]

As the System prompt faded.

In the next instant.

A continuous stream of energy surged from the void, taking root deep within Lin Yi's Dantian.

The sensation was peculiar.

It was as if an immortal spring that would never run dry had carved out an entirely new meridian within his body.

Spirit power, like living water, surged continuously from the immortal source ancestral vein.

Nourishing his Meridians, bones, and flesh.

Even the Hongmeng Chaos Body emitted a comfortable hum under the irrigation of this energy.

immortal source ancestral vein.

Contained within the body, spirit power would never run dry.

From now on, he would never have to worry about the problem of spirit power exhaustion during battle.

For a cultivator, this thing could be called a cheat-level existence.

Lin Yi closed his eyes to feel it for a moment, then opened them.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

The immortal source ancestral vein had taken root in his body, and he had obtained the Immortal Rank Heavenly Emperor Fist.

The Hongmeng Immortal Bone and Primordial Immortal Pupil had already been fused.

The Imperial Rank Top Grade heavenly emperor cauldron was terrifyingly deterrent.

He held five top-tier trump cards in his hands.

He had also studied and consumed the Grandmist Heaven-Opening Scripture and the Imperial Rank Medicinal Pill rewarded by the Holy Land.

At this very moment.

Lin Yi could clearly feel his cultivation rising at a terrifying speed.

The Bottleneck of the Peak of Spirit Transformation.

Under the constant scouring of energy from the immortal source ancestral vein, it had become shaky.

He could break through to the Venerable Realm at any moment!

After finishing this.

Lin Yi rummaged through Ye Chen's storage ring, sorting and putting away the useful items.

He kept some items belonging to the Source Heaven Master for his own research.

While distributing the Medicinal Pills, Magic Treasures, and other items to Xu Chen and the other accompanying Disciples.

This scene, in Ye Chen's eyes, was truly soul-crushing.

His items had been distributed!

His Opportunity had been snatched away!

His dignity had been trampled to pieces!

And the person doing all this was currently distributing the stolen goods as gifts.

He didn't even bother to glance at him.

Ye Chen slowly lowered his head.

The spirit liquid reflected his paper-white face.

On that face, there was no anger, no unwillingness.

Only a deathly gray remained.

Along with a pair of eyes so crimson they were almost dripping blood.

"Senior Brother Lin! You are the benefactor of my, Xu Chen's, life!"

"In my next life, I will work like an ox or a horse for you!"

Xu Chen hugged a pile of spoils, moved to tears.

"There is no need for a next life."

Lin Yi glanced at him.

Then, his gaze swept across the mine cave, and he said indifferently.

"Later, just help me move this back."

Xu Chen looked at the vast mine cave, and his expression changed.

"Senior Brother Lin, did you calculate early on that you would make me a coolie?"

Lin Yi did not answer.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the kneeling Ye Chen and his two Dao Protectors.

Just now, he had only temporarily suppressed this mouse.

At this moment, the value of this mouse had been squeezed dry.

Next, it was time to end it!

Ye Chen also felt Lin Yi's gaze.

That feeling of being locked on by a hunter made all the hair on his body stand up.

"Lin Yi... what are you going to do?"

His voice was trembling.

Lin Yi did not answer.

He just looked at Ye Chen indifferently.

That gaze was as if he were looking at an ant crawling on the ground.

Ye Chen's heart shrank violently.

An unprecedented fear shot from the soles of his feet to his crown.

"No..."

"You cannot kill me!"

"I am a Prodigy of Yaoguang Holy Land!"

"If you kill me, Yaoguang Holy Land will not let you off!"

Ye Chen roared crazily, his voice echoing in the hollow.

Lin Yi tilted his head.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Ye Chen's mouth opened.

Then he closed it.

He read the answer in Lin Yi's eyes.

In those eyes, there was no hesitation, no pity.

There was only a kind of matter-of-fact calmness.

As if before crushing an ant, no reason was needed.

The last glimmer of light in Ye Chen's eyes also extinguished.

Lin Yi looked at Ye Chen.

He didn't speak.

He didn't make a move either.

He just stood there, waiting for Ye Chen to make his final choice.

And Ye Chen indeed made a choice.

A crazy choice.

"Hahaha!"

Ye Chen suddenly laughed.

The laughter was shrill, reverberating in the underground hollow, causing people's eardrums to ache.

His eyes had already changed from crimson to a strange purple-black.

That was the precursor to the activation of the Source Heaven Master lineage's forbidden secret technique.

"Lin Yi! Do you think you have won?"

Ye Chen's voice changed tone, carrying a manic excitement in its hoarseness.

"You cannot win!"

"You will never win!"

"Because I, Ye Chen, even if I die, will drag you down to Hell with me!"

The moment his voice fell, Ye Chen violently smashed the Source Heaven Compass in his hand.

The fragments pierced into his palm, and blood gushed out.

That blood did not drip down, but turned into strange runes, rapidly climbing up his arm.

The runes spread along his Meridians.

Wherever they passed, blood vessels expanded and skin cracked.

He was burning his own Divine Soul and Saint Body Origin.

The Source Heaven Master lineage's forbidden technique of mutual destruction.

Source Explosion Burying Heaven!

"Not good!"

Wang Hong's expression changed abruptly.

He took a step forward, the Saint King's pressure pouring down, wanting to suppress Ye Chen.

But that destructive aura surging from Ye Chen actually pushed his pressure back by force.

This was no longer the power that the Spirit Transformation Realm should have.

Ye Chen was trading his life for power.

"Everyone, retreat!"

Lin Yi said in a deep voice.

Su Yuxi, Chu Wanqing, Shen Qingyue, and the others all retreated in unison.

Xu Chen, hugging the Spirit Medicine, ran the fastest, retreating a hundred zhang in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! This lunatic!"

The little fatty cursed while running.

"If you want to die, don't drag us with you!"

The underground hollow began to shake.

The mine crystals on the dome fell one after another, smashing everywhere.

Ye Chen's body was like a balloon that was inflating.

There were more and more cracks on the surface of his body, and purple-black light seeped out from every crack.

His aura was climbing crazily.

Peak of Spirit Transformation!

Early Stage Venerable!

Middle Stage Venerable!

In just ten breaths, his combat power soared to a staggering level.

The one-armed Dao Protector and the flower-faced Dao Protector were also affected by this power, and their bodies began to shatter.

"Young Master Ye! Don't!"

The one-armed Dao Protector screamed.

He wanted to escape, but Ye Chen's forbidden technique had locked down the surrounding hundred zhang of space.

The two Dao Protectors' essence blood and cultivation were also forcibly extracted by the forbidden technique, turning into Ye Chen's fuel.

Within a few breaths, the two Dao Protectors turned into blood mist and dissipated into the air.

They didn't even have time to leave behind a complete scream.

Ye Chen devoured all the cultivation of the two Dao Protectors.

His aura skyrocketed again.

Late Stage Venerable!

Approaching Peak of Venerable!

The entire ancient divine source was trembling violently.

Those Loose Cultivator Prodigies who had come to watch the excitement were now all scared out of their wits, fleeing for their lives.

"He's crazy! This Ye Chen is completely crazy!"

"He wants to explode! He wants to blow up the entire ancient mine!"

"Nonsense! He even wants to blow himself up, this lunatic!"

"Run! Run quickly!"

Terrified shouts rose one after another.
