101: Nine Yin Mysterious Heaven Body

The domain shattered, but Lin Chen's golden [Human Emperor Domain] was like an indestructible bedrock, forcefully resisting the terrifying pressure exerted by the Mid-stage Spirit Transformation [Heavenly Sword Goddess].

But this was merely a stalemate, far from a victory.

In the cold eyes of the [Heavenly Sword Goddess], killing intent surged like a tide. She realized that this S-rank wanted criminal possessed demonic attributes and an uncanny quality that surpassed normal laws.

"Impudent! How dare you hold your ground before this Sovereign!"

She let out a soft shout, pointed a slender jade finger from afar, and instead of fighting domain against domain, she directly mobilized the entire [Yaochi Holy Land]'s [Guardian Grand Array]!

RUMBLE!

Inside the Yaochi Holy Land, nine Spirit Peaks that anchored the mountains simultaneously lit up with silver-white light. Vast spiritual energy poured down like a heavenly river, instantly flowing into the [Heavenly Sword Goddess]'s body! In that instant, her aura infinitely approached the Late Spirit Transformation Stage!

"Ice Phoenix! Daji!" Lin Chen roared, his voice filled with imperial resolve!

"Hold her back, no matter the cost!"

"As you command, Master!"

A trace of absolute fervor flashed across Su Daji's charming and seductive face! She knew this was Lin Chen testing their loyalty, and the price required to obtain ultimate salvation!

Her slender, pale fingers rapidly formed a seal. Nine snow-white fox tails materialized behind her, each containing the essence of Late Nascent Soul Stage charm!

"Charm the World!"

Her delicate body trembled violently, instantly converting all the essential spiritual power of the Late Nascent Soul Stage into the ultimate power of Inner Demon Charm, surging overwhelmingly toward the [Heavenly Sword Goddess]!

At the same time, Ice Phoenix Female Sovereign Han Ling held nothing back! Her body shot forward, and a ten-thousand-zhang [Ice Phoenix Phantom] materialized behind her!

"Ice Phoenix Boundary Seal!"

The extreme cold energy of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection instantly froze the surrounding space, forming an absolute ice-sealed cage. This was her buying time for Lin Chen at the cost of damaging her dao foundation!

Under Lin Chen's command, the two female venerables—one at Nascent Soul Great Perfection and one at the Late Nascent Soul Stage—launched a suicidal attack, fearlessly charging toward the Mid-stage Spirit Transformation [Heavenly Sword Goddess]!

Lin Chen no longer hesitated. He compressed the [Human Emperor Domain] until it only enveloped his body, focusing all his defensive power onto a single point!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The terrifying pressure from the Yaochi Holy Land's Guardian Grand Array, pouring down like a waterfall from the nine heavens, instantly crushed down upon Lin Chen! That pressure was enough to instantly flatten any Peak Nascent Soul cultivator into a mist of blood!

But Lin Chen was the Human Emperor! He possessed the body of the [Chaos Dragon Elephant]!

His eyes wide with fury, every inch of his skin shone with golden light! The [Human Emperor Domain] roared within him, and his mighty, masculine vital energy surged like a rushing river, forcefully resisting the crushing power of the grand array!

"Those who block me shall die!"

With every step Lin Chen took, the Spiritual Jade Ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch. He used his flesh and blood body to forcefully break through the Spirit Transformation Formation!

Under the Fox Charm Laws of Su Daji and the Ice Phoenix Seal of Han Ling, the [Heavenly Sword Goddess]'s offensive was temporarily stalled—this was Lin Chen's most precious opportunity!

He broke through layer after layer of obstruction and finally arrived beneath the altar!

Upon the altar, the [Yaoguang Divine Maiden] sat cross-legged, tightly bound by nine silver chains inscribed with profound runes.

Her appearance was stunningly beautiful, like a goddess from the nine heavens. Her skin was so fair it was nearly transparent, and a white Immortal Dress outlined her perfect figure. Her coldness and sanctity made people dare not blaspheme her.

However, her beautiful face was currently etched with extreme pain!

The source of her [Nine Heavens Profound Yin Body] had completely gone berserk under the formation suppression of the [Heavenly Sword Goddess]! Endless extreme cold energy was backlashing from within her body; a layer of frost had condensed on her eyelashes, and the sweat beads on her forehead instantly turned into ice crystals the moment they appeared!

Her Spirit Transformation cultivation was entirely focused on suppressing this cold poison, leaving her utterly unable to resist!

When she opened her eyes and saw Lin Chen, covered in blood and radiating golden light, rush onto the altar, her despair reached its peak! She thought this was another assassin sent by the [Heavenly Sword Goddess]!

Just as Lin Chen rushed onto the altar, moments before touching the [Yaoguang Divine Maiden], the roar of the [Heavenly Sword Goddess] came from behind!

Su Daji's [Charm] and Han Ling's [Ice Phoenix] were instantly shattered under the amplification of the [Yaochi Grand Array]!

"You seek death!" The [Heavenly Sword Goddess]'s Sword of Judgment, carrying world-destroying power, slammed directly toward the altar!

She intended to purify Lin Chen and Yaoguang together, willing to destroy the [Nine Heavens Profound Yin Body] rather than leave it to Lin Chen!

Lin Chen's pupils contracted sharply! He no longer had time to fully dodge!

He roared, and the [Human Emperor Domain] formed a golden shield above the altar!

BOOM!

The residual energy of the Judgment Sword Qi tore through the surface of the golden domain and heavily struck Lin Chen's chest!

CRACK—! The sound of breaking bones was clearly audible! Even the physical body of the [Chaos Dragon Elephant] could not avoid injury under the might of the Mid-stage Spirit Transformation!

Lin Chen spat out a mouthful of golden heart blood, and his robust body lost control, tumbling violently to the feet of the [Yaoguang Divine Maiden]!

His blood splashed onto the Yaoguang Divine Maiden's snow-white Immortal Dress, like plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter.

Lin Chen ignored the severe pain in his sternum. He struggled, raising his large, blood-stained hand and reaching toward the Yaoguang Divine Maiden!

"Don't be afraid..." His voice was hoarse, yet filled with absolute dominance!

The moment he reached out, the pure, masculine Yang energy contained within his [human emperor seal] issued a fatal attraction to the Yaoguang Divine Maiden's supremely pure [Nine Heavens Profound Yin Body]!

The Yaoguang Divine Maiden's frozen eyes contracted sharply the instant they sensed this Yang energy! That was the craving of her life source! That was the heavenly call for Yin and Yang harmony!

The rampaging Profound Yin cold energy within her body actually calmed down by a ten-thousandth upon contact with Lin Chen's Yang energy!

A look of confusion appeared on the Yaoguang Divine Maiden's cold face for the first time.

She looked at Lin Chen—this male covered in blood but radiating an absolute imperial aura—who turned out to be the only antidote to the cold poison she had suffered for tens of thousands of years!

"No... don't come closer!" she roared in terror, yet her body was more honest than her will!

Her eyes were filled with the inherent arrogance of a female venerable, but her instincts were screaming wildly, yearning for that Yang energy, yearning for this man who could save her!

Lin Chen watched her exquisite body tremble slightly under the cold energy. The extreme suffering beneath her sanctity further ignited his desire for conquest!

[Ding! Ultimate target [Nine Heavens Profound Yin Body] detected! Does the host wish to immediately perform "Source Harmony" and "Sowing"?!] The system's cold notification tone rang out in Lin Chen's mind!

"You seek death!"

The [Heavenly Sword Goddess] had already broken free from the entanglement of Han Ling and Su Daji. Her cold killing intent locked onto the altar!

"One Sword of Judgment!" She mobilized the power of the entire grand array, condensing a massive, supremely refined silver-white spiritual energy sword, aiming the final death blow at the altar!

Lin Chen fiercely bit his tongue, forcibly suppressing the severe pain in his sternum, and erupted with his last shred of strength!

His rough, large hand finally grasped the snow-white jade arm of the [Yaoguang Divine Maiden], which was bound by silver chains!

BOOM—!

The pure [Human Emperor Yang Energy] instantly penetrated the silver chains and surged into the [Yaoguang Divine Maiden]'s body!

The Yaoguang Divine Maiden felt as if she had been struck by lightning! A long-lost blush finally appeared on her beautiful face, and the cold poison within her body was rapidly disintegrated by the impact of this Yang energy!

Her proud Dao Heart put up a symbolic resistance, but her Nine Heavens Profound Yin source had already completely submitted to Lin Chen's Yang energy!

Lin Chen let out a low roar and lifted the perfect, delicate body bound by chains!

Just before the [Heavenly Sword Goddess]'s Judgment Sword Qi descended, he forcefully lowered his head and kissed the Yaoguang Divine Maiden's cherry lips—which were filled with both shock and anticipation—with absolute dominance!

Simultaneously, the System frantically alerted him in his mind!

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to 'save' you!"

Lin Chen roared arrogantly. Using his body and the Human Emperor Domain as the final barrier, he activated the "Source Harmony" function of the [many children many blessings system]!

He knew that under the ultimate strike of the Mid-stage Spirit Transformation, his only chance for survival was to conquer the [Yaoguang Divine Maiden], absorb her source, and break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage!
