355: Chapter 355 Origin Altar, Twenty-Eight Devious Creatures, Heavenly Palace Realm Experts!

In front of the Source Altar, several figures streaked across the distant horizon at high speed, landing steadily.

It was Lin Ran and the others!

Lin Ran took the lead, his expression unchanged as he walked toward the Source Altar with a confident, powerful stride.

The surroundings of the Source Altar were very eerie, carrying a sense of perpetual darkness.

With a flick of his right hand, Lin Ran summoned the Pure Yang Chaos Fire, illuminating the pitch-black Source Altar.

Although it was called an altar, Lin Ran couldn't see the slightest hint of one; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a damp, dark cave.

"Husband, these are just the surface appearances of the Source Altar. To truly understand it, we must go deep inside," Yu Chanjuan explained.

Yu Chanjuan explained.

"Alright, I'll go deep into the Source Altar right now," Lin Ran nodded calmly.

Lin Ran nodded indifferently.

"I'm so jealous of the Source Altar; I want Lin Ran to 'go deep' into me too~"

Cang Huan looked at Lin Ran flirtatiously, acting in an affected manner.

"Get lost!"

Lin Ran's face darkened as he kicked Cang Huan away.

Such a blatant desire to have a vigorous 'sword fight' with him was a complete violation of his bottom line!

Usually, he was the only one allowed to cross the lines of Su Xiyue, Yan Ruyu, and the other women; he would never permit anyone to cross his!

His rules were the law!!

As they went deeper into the Source Altar, the environment became even darker and more humid, but fortunately, the Pure Yang Chaos Fire was there to dispel all the darkness and cold.

"Roar!"

Just as Lin Ran and the others were walking with long strides, a bizarre creature with two tails, a tiger's head, and a dragon's body suddenly rushed out from the darkness.

It bared its fangs and claws, its roar like thunder. Its cultivation was at the Divine Bridge Realm, and its body was filled with bizarre dao Origin, making one shiver at the sight.

Following that, one bizarre dao creature after another galloped out from the shadows, their bodies covered in strange runes. Counting them carefully, there were actually twenty-eight!

A total of twenty-eight Bizarre Dao Creatures at the Divine Bridge Realm swarmed out at once; the killing intent contained within was unimaginable!

"Husband, be careful!"

"Lord Banished Sword Immortal, be careful!"

The expressions of Yu Chanjuan and Bai Luo changed simultaneously, their faces turning visibly pale, devoid of any color.

This...

This was simply too terrifying, wasn't it?!

Twenty-eight Divine Bridge Realm Bizarre Dao Creatures moving at once, erupting with majestic killing power—could a young Prodigy really stand against this?!

However, facing such a peril-filled situation, Lin Ran didn't show the slightest panic; instead, he felt like laughing.

Since arriving on the Emperor Road, he hadn't encountered any Bizarre Dao Creatures.

One must know that the Swallow Character Secret within the Twelve Secret Glyphs he cultivated required a constant supply of bizarre dao Origin; once swallowed, it could be used to nourish the other secret scripts.

Unfortunately, since coming to the Emperor Road, he had been struggling to find anything containing bizarre dao Origin.

Now, twenty-eight Bizarre Dao Creatures full of bizarre dao Origin had appeared. In his eyes, this wasn't a peril-filled crisis, but a massive Opportunity!!

"five elements divine stone, suppress them for me!"

Lin Ran gave a savage grin and waved his hand, summoning the brilliantly glowing five elements divine stone.

The five elements divine stone hovered in mid-air and then rapidly expanded. Its towering and magnificent suppressive power even made the heavens and earth tremble, striking fear into the hearts of all.

"Roar!!!"

Facing the five elements divine stone that could even suppress a True Demon, the twenty-eight Bizarre Dao Creatures had no power to resist and were heavily suppressed on the spot.

Lin Ran raised his right hand, and a pitch-black vortex appeared in his palm, like a bottomless pit that could swallow everything in the world.

The twenty-eight Bizarre Dao Creatures suppressed by the five elements divine stone were like fish on a chopping block, without any power to resist, allowing the Swallow Character Secret to consume them.

Seeing Lin Ran swallow and kill these twenty-eight Bizarre Dao Creatures so effortlessly, Yu Chanjuan, Bai Luo, and Empress Yan Xin's eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

A total of twenty-eight Divine Bridge Realm Bizarre Dao Creatures—never mind a young Prodigy, even an older Heavenly Palace Realm Expert facing such a situation would likely be trembling with fear, unable to muster any thought of resistance.

But to Lin Ran, they were nothing more than insignificant nobodies, excellent nourishment to sustain his Divine Ability.

The gap between them was simply self-evident!!

After swallowing these twenty-eight Bizarre Dao Creatures, Lin Ran could clearly feel that the power of the 杀 Word Secret had increased significantly.

And this increase was permanent.

As long as the Swallow Character Secret consumed more Bizarre Dao Creatures, logically, the power of the other eleven character secrets would permanently increase!

In other words, the Twelve Secret Glyphs was a technique capable of infinite growth!

Lin Ran marveled in his heart, wondering which monstrous powerhouse had created such a Heaven-Defying technique!

"One, two, three, four, five. Just these five, right?"

A raspy, gloomy whisper came from the darkness ahead.

"Yes, just these five! My lords, what price must be paid to kill these five people?"

The voice was very familiar; Lin Ran recognized it as Nangong Wentian's voice.

"You don't need to pay any price. As long as you can keep the weird cloud mirror active, we two brothers will keep killing!"

"Big brother, we two brothers have been dormant for tens of thousands of years. Today we can finally take action; we must be careful not to accidentally play these five people to death too quickly!"

"Don't worry, your big brother knows what he's doing!"

As soon as those words fell, two dense black clouds quickly floated out of the darkness, devouring even the space they passed through!

"Swish!"

A heavy yin-yang mace flew out from one of the black clouds, hurtling toward Lin Ran.

Lin Ran's expression changed slightly as he summoned the immortal suppressing demon sword and activated the Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon and Physical Destiny Runes, striking the incoming yin-yang mace with a fierce sword slash.

"Boom!"

It was like two Ancient Stars colliding; the moment the yin-yang mace and the immortal suppressing demon sword met, intense sparks flew.

"Step, step, step!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but retreat several steps. Even the webbing of his hand holding the sword trembled slightly from the sharp pain.

"Heavenly Palace Realm?!"

Lin Ran's expression became somewhat grave. Since he had cultivated the Yin-Yang Primordial Dao Ancestral Dragon to the ninety-first layer of the Fifth Heaven and obtained a total of four Physical Destiny Runes, his physical strength had reached an unimaginable level.

No Divine Bridge Realm creature should have been able to withstand his physical power!

But now, for the first time, he had suffered a setback in physical strength, showing that the opponent's cultivation was definitely not lower than the Heavenly Palace Realm!

"Jie jie jie!!!"

"Congratulations, you guessed right! My big brother's and my cultivation are precisely at the Heavenly Palace Realm Seventh Heaven!!"

From the other black cloud, a blood-colored long saber suddenly burst forth, aiming straight for Lin Ran's head!!
