397: Breaking the rules? You'll be killed anyway!

A Perfect Level true spirit Defense Sacred Artifact, valued at 600,000 origin profound crystal.

Only a Sacred Artifact of this level could block Lin Chen's true spirit attack.

Sacred Artifacts correspond to only one Realm, unlike the Saint Lord, which is divided into four stages.

Therefore, the Sacred Artifacts used by the Peak Saint Lord and the Saint Lord Initial Stage are of the same level; only the power differs based on the quality of the Sacred Artifact.

If Lin Chen wanted to break through the defense of a Perfect Level true spirit Defense Sacred Artifact, he would at least need his true spirit attack power to reach the Half-step Ancestor Realm level!

"What level of true spirit Secret Art is that?!"

Lu Xinghui looked at Lin Chen, his heart still pounding with fear.

If he hadn't possessed this true spirit Defense Sacred Artifact this time, he would have perished, just like that Three-Eyed Youth...

Lin Chen smiled faintly and said:

"Do you want to learn it? Give me your Sacred Artifact, and I'll teach you..."

"You..."

Lu Xinghui's eyes widened, and his expression turned ferocious.

"Lin Chen, it seems I underestimated you..."

"Once I crush you, all of your Opportunities will be mine!"

Lin Chen chuckled, his eyes glowing green, and said:

"That's what I wanted to say too..."

Hearing this, Lu Xinghui instantly erupted, and a dark blue longsword appeared in his hand.

Boom—

The moment the longsword appeared, the entire Void Realm began to shake.

The Qi spontaneously emitted by this longsword caused spatial cracks to appear in the Void Realm...

Lin Chen's pupils contracted at the sight; the power of this sword was terrifying!

One must understand that the space in the Main World was extremely stable; even he needed to fully unleash his power to damage it.

"Could this be... a Legendary Level Sacred Artifact!"

At this moment, the many Prodigies watching outside also looked shocked at the longsword in Lu Xinghui's hand.

"That sword is... the Shadow Sword!"

"It is the former personal sword of Old Ancestor 'Ying'!"

Hiss—

Everyone gasped upon hearing this.

The Shadow Sword was extremely famous, but this sword was not a Sacred Artifact.

Instead, it was a Legendary Level quasi-Ancestral Artifact!

A quasi-Ancestral Artifact was a weapon used by a Half-step Ancestor Realm Expert.

"Lin Chen is in danger now. The life-and-death battle didn't stipulate that high-level weapons couldn't be used..."

"Lin Chen just arrived in the Main World, and his accumulation is too shallow. He is at a great disadvantage regarding weapons."

At this moment, Lin Chen was staring intently at the dark blue longsword.

He did not know that this longsword was a quasi-Ancestral Artifact; if he had known, his reaction would have been even more exaggerated than it was now.

"As expected of a person of heavenly mandate, his Opportunities are truly profound."

"If I kill him this time, maybe I can become instantly rich..."

The next moment, Lin Chen erupted.

He had never once underestimated Lu Xinghui, nor had he underestimated this life-and-death battle.

Boom, boom, boom—

Lin Chen simultaneously activated the Purple-Gold Bloodline and the Heaven Devouring Demonic God Body.

His Physical Strength began to surge rapidly, quickly reaching 5 billion world power, putting him on the same level of Physical Strength as Lu Xinghui!

"How is that possible! What level of Body Technique is that?!"

Lu Xinghui's eyes were filled with shock, which then turned into greed.

Lin Chen's Golden Body was only at the Eternal Tenth Forging, yet he had reached the same level as him.

To achieve this level, there was only one possibility: Lin Chen must have mastered an extremely Heaven-Defying Body Technique!

Creation Advanced Rank? Or even Supreme?

"It must be a Supreme Level Body Technique! Only a Body Technique of this level could amplify the Eternal Tenth Forging Golden Body!"

The Body Technique Lu Xinghui mastered was only at the Creation Mid-rank level, and it had no amplifying effect on his current Golden Body Realm...

Lin Chen ignored Lu Xinghui's shock.

With a thought, he unleashed the Great Evolution Blade Domain.

At the same time, a vast Dao Domain appeared, and the dual Domains suppressed Lu Xinghui.

Lu Xinghui's expression changed drastically; he had long lost his previous composure.

"You actually comprehended the Supreme Level Great Dao as well!"

"How is that possible!"

A killing intent flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and he said:

"Nothing is impossible. Today, I will certainly kill you!"

Boom—

Lin Chen struck with his saber.

Immediately, the heavens and earth dimmed, and a terrifying saber light appeared.

Lu Xinghui looked terrified at the sight.

From that saber strike, he sensed the threat of death!

The next moment, he unsealed his own Realm without hesitation.

Instantly, the terrifying aura of the Peak Saint Lord erupted.

Outside, everyone watching the battle was instantly shocked.

"This is bad... Lu Xinghui violated the rules!"

"Quickly stop this life-and-death battle!"

"It's too late... Once the space for the life-and-death battle is opened, it's impossible to withdraw midway, and outsiders cannot intervene, unless... several Old Ancestors make a move..."

Inside the Ancestral Land Palace, 'Yuan' and 'Hao' naturally saw this scene as well.

"No need to act, I believe in Lin Chen."

'Hao' said with a slight smile.

'Yuan,' who had already stood up, slowly sat down again...

Inside the life-and-death battle space, Lin Chen's saber strike had already landed on Lu Xinghui.

And Lu Xinghui also unleashed his strongest blow.

Boom—

A massive explosion occurred in the Void Realm before the two of them, and terrifying shockwaves continuously wreaked havoc.

After a long while, a heaven-shaking sword beam was slashed out.

Lin Chen's gaze sharpened, and he instantly teleported away, dodging the sword strike.

Only then did he see Lu Xinghui's figure.

The purple-gold battle armor on his body erupted with dazzling light, actually blocking the previous saber strike.

"Another Perfect Level item?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This Lu Xinghui was truly extravagant; one could say he was covered in treasures!

"Tsk tsk... Didn't we agree to fight within the same Realm? Are you trying to cheat me?"

Lin Chen said mockingly.

Lu Xinghui's expression was incomparably gloomy at this moment. He truly couldn't understand why Lin Chen's combat power was so terrifying.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and instantly broken through the seal on his cultivation, he might have been killed by that saber strike just now!

How could a Saint Lord Initial Stage unleash such an attack?

Was it the Unity Secret Art?

Suddenly, Lu Xinghui looked startled.

"Lin Chen... what level is your Unity Secret Art?"

Lin Chen shook his head slightly upon hearing this, offering no reply.

Instead, he slowly materialized more than 20,000 Clones.

"You talk too much..."

"Be smarter in your next life!"

Boom—

With over 20 battle formations activated for amplification, Lin Chen unleashed his full power!

This was also his strongest attack!

Lu Xinghui felt a terrifying pressure, and he looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.

"Your battle formations..."

"No... Lin Chen, I surrender... I won't fight anymore!"

Lin Chen erupted with heaven-shaking killing intent and completely ignored Lu Xinghui.

In an instant, he slashed out hundreds of times!

Immediately, this section of the Void Realm shattered inch by inch, and terrifying saber light swept towards Lu Xinghui.

Lin Chen's combat power at this moment was already directly approaching the Half-step Ancestor Realm!

Perhaps he was just one step away...

Lu Xinghui's face turned ashen. He brandished the longsword in his hand and simultaneously unleashed Supreme Level Battle Technique.

The Unity Secret Art he mastered was only 8-star level, which was also the highest Realm of the Unity Secret Art created by 'Yuan'.

This level of Unity Secret Art could only apply the power of the Physical Body and the weapon to the Battle Technique.

However, Lin Chen's 10-star Unity Secret Art could also apply true spirit power to the Battle Technique!

Lu Xinghui's greatest advantage compared to Lin Chen was his mastery of a Saint Lord Level Dao at Perfection.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen's battle formation amplification was too terrifying.

Each Clone could amplify the power of the Saint Lord Level Dao by 0.1 times, adding up to an amplification of more than two thousand times!

One must know that even a Perfect Level Sacred Artifact could only amplify the power of the Saint Lord Level Dao by 400 times.

Lin Chen's overall amplification had completely made up for the gap in Dao comprehension!

"No..."

A despairing cry sounded.

Lu Xinghui's body was instantly chopped into dust by a hundred saber lights.

His true spirit body was also pulverized.

Lin Chen sheathed his saber and stood, looking into the distance.

Through his perception of Karma, he discovered that Lu Xinghui had not died.

He understood instantly.

This Lu Xinghui definitely still had a Clone in the outside world.

Moreover, it was very likely beside 'Ying'!

Since the moment this life-and-death battle began, he knew that 'Ying' wouldn't let Lu Xinghui fight so desperately.

After all, Lu Xinghui was a person of heavenly mandate, and there was a high probability he would achieve a Breakthrough to the Ancestor Realm in the future...

"If I can kill you once, I can kill you a hundred times!"

"I'll let you live a little longer... I'll send all of you off together when the time comes!"

After withdrawing his thoughts, Lin Chen immediately collected the resources and treasures left behind by this Clone of Lu Xinghui.

As he collected the treasures, he only needed a few glances before his face revealed ecstasy...
