151: Chapter 151 One Finger Pierces the Sky, Geng Metal is Born, Shocking the World

A violent suction force, sufficient to tear apart his Divine Soul, surged back along Lin Chen's fingertips.

It was like an ancient beast that had been dormant for eons; upon smelling the metallic sweetness of essence blood, it finally awoke from its slumber and let out a greedy roar.

Lin Chen let out a muffled groan, feeling as though his Divine Soul was on the verge of being ripped out of his body by this force.

Enduring the excruciating pain of the Shadow Erosion corroding the Meridians in his left shoulder, as well as the backlash from having his deduction in his Sea of Consciousness forcibly interrupted, he reached back and pulled Lin Haoyu, who had collapsed in the carriage, in front of him.

Lin Haoyu had fallen into a semi-comatose state, his lips deathly pale from blood loss; only his tightly closed eyelids were twitching unconsciously.

"Wake up!" Lin Chen's roar sounded like a thunderclap, exploding directly within Lin Haoyu's Sea of Consciousness.

He gave his son no time to react, grabbing Lin Haoyu's limp, blood-stained hand and pressing it firmly against the stone ring on his own thumb, which had completely turned into blood jade.

"Give me all your remaining power!"

This command was less of a request and more of a near-predatory deprivation.

Under the unreserved guidance of Lin Chen's Chaos Spiritual Qi, the last trace of Wutu Origin remaining in Lin Haoyu's body—from his forced activation of the "Blood-Burning Martyrdom Disk"—along with his remaining life essence, were devoured frantically by the stone ring, like water from a burst dam.

At the same time, the rapidly spinning, crack-filled Chaos Golden Core within Lin Chen's Dantian erupted with its final brilliance at this moment.

Over ninety percent of his Spiritual Qi was forcibly squeezed out in a manner that destroyed his own Foundation, transforming into a rushing torrent along the Meridians of his arm and pouring frantically into the insatiable stone ring!

"Hum—!"

Under this reckless infusion of energy from the father and son, the stone ring let out a groan of overwhelming strain.

A visible halo, mixed with earthy yellow and Chaos colors, exploded from the center of Lin Chen's fist.

The energy contained within the halo was so immense that it forcibly halted the pouring toxic liquid and black lightning in mid-air for an instant.

The blood-red light on the surface of the stone ring intensified, and the ancient, earthy yellow patterns carved upon it lit up one by one under the massive energy impact, like red-hot branding irons.

Immediately after, at the core where those earthy yellow patterns intersected, a trace of golden radiance—extremely faint yet sharp enough to seemingly pierce the world—forcibly squeezed out from the heavy Earth-type Law.

The moment this golden light was born, a vast, sharp, and domineering supreme will, as if from the dawn of the world, exploded in Lin Chen's Sea of Consciousness through the stone ring, like a fleeting glimpse across the river of time.

In this brief instant, Lin Chen's entire world changed.

His five senses were stripped away, replaced by a brand-new perspective that transcended Divine Sense.

He "saw" that the indestructible pitch-black ground below had become like transparent glazed glass at this moment.

Countless complex and twisted Formation patterns were like a giant web, locking this space tightly. In the deepest part of that web, thousands of feet underground, a tiny yet brilliantly dazzling golden point was floating silently.

That was not only the power core of the entire Sky-Sealing Killing Formation but also the greatest reliance of the assassin Shadow Erosion for daring to set an ambush here, and the ultimate source that the stone ring on his finger had been craving from the very beginning.

Found it!

Lin Chen's eyes were blood-red. Almost instinctively, he gathered all the power fused within his body, Lin Haoyu's body, and the stone ring, unreservedly converging it at the fingertip of his only functional right hand.

Aiming at that golden coordinate shining deep underground, through the thick rock layers and layers of Formations, he pointed his finger across the distance and struck out ferociously!

"Break!"

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a gray-golden finger beam as thin as a hair, yet fused with the heaviness of thick earth and the sharpness of Geng Metal, which flashed from Lin Chen's fingertip and vanished.

The finger beam ignored physical space and the layered Formation barriers, like a divine punishment spanning dimensions, shooting precisely into the depths of the earth and striking the golden point.

The dead silence lasted only for an instant.

The next moment, the entire Dragonfall Gorge let out a groan of overwhelming strain, like a dying creature.

Centered on the dilapidated beast carriage, the hard, pitch-black ground instantly cracked like a fragile mirror, creating countless terrifying chasms of unfathomable depth.

The towering cliffs on both sides began to collapse in massive sections under the impact of this destructive force originating from the earth's core. Countless boulders weighing ten thousand jun fell like raindrops, but as they neared three feet from Lin Chen, they were ground into powder by an invisible sharp Qi.

Before the roar of the mountain collapse could spread, an immensely thick, pure golden beam of light shot up into the sky without warning from the depths of the cracked earth core!

The golden light was so domineering and pure, as if it were the first glimmer of sharpness since the creation of the world.

It instantly tore through the ink-thick Formation mist above Dragonfall Gorge, pierced through the lead-gray clouds above Tianshu City, and like a divine sword connecting heaven and earth, plunged straight into the sky, illuminating half of the Central Continent, which was shrouded in night, as bright as day!

Wherever the golden light passed, it became a domain of purification.

The sky-filling ink-colored toxic liquid and black lightning could not even struggle before this pure Law light; they melted like snow and ice, turning into the most primitive Spiritual Qi particles.

The massive Gold-Threaded Demon Python, the instant it was swept by the golden light, let out a short, shrill wail. Its huge body, eroded by the Shadow Erosion, turned into fly ash inch by inch from head to tail.

On the other side, the diving Iron-Feather Thunder Hawk did not even make a sound before it was completely evaporated in the air under the brilliance of the golden light, along with its feathers that were harder than steel.

"Ah—!"

A shrill scream that sounded inhuman exploded from a patch of twisted shadow not far behind Lin Chen.

Shadow Erosion, whose form had originally blended with the darkness, was revealed in a wretched state under the golden light, like a drowning person forcibly pulled out of the water.

The special cloak on his body that could isolate Divine Sense was now like a rag burned through by a branding iron, billowing with black smoke.

His body was charred black, and large patches of skin dissolved and peeled off under the golden light, revealing the ghastly white bones beneath.

The Shadow Erosion most fears this kind of supreme Yang and supreme rigid Geng Metal True Spirit Qi!

Enduring the excruciating pain of his Divine Soul being scorched, Shadow Erosion turned his body back into a thin wisp of black smoke, about to flee into the Void Realm at all costs.

Just then, a cyan light blade carrying endless wind pressure tore through the sky, arriving first despite starting later.

"Prodigy, where are you fleeing to!"

Accompanied by an angry shout, the fierce and peerless wind blade precisely pierced through Shadow Erosion's dissipating afterimage, pinning him tightly to a giant rock ten feet away.

Inspector Feng Xingyun's figure finally appeared amidst the sky-filling golden light.

He looked at the charred, dying Shadow Erosion, then at the golden light pillar connecting heaven and earth, and finally at Lin Chen, who stood alone like a god or demon beneath the pillar. His face was filled with indescribable shock and lingering fear.

Lin Chen ignored him. Staggering, having exhausted almost all his strength, he stepped forward and grabbed Shadow Erosion by the neck, lifting the assassin who had almost doomed him and his son.

It was also at this moment that the golden light pillar connecting heaven and earth began to slowly recede.

At the center of the light pillar, a crystal about the size of a fist, with an extremely irregular shape and golden divine radiance flowing throughout its body, was slowly rising from the crack in the ground.

Every slight pulsation caused ripples in the surrounding space, and the sharp aura it emitted was enough to make any Golden Core Cultivator dare not look directly at it.

geng metal true spirit fragment!

The moment this fragment was completely revealed to the world, several immensely powerful Nascent Soul Divine Thoughts, which seemed capable of crushing the heavens, swept in from all directions of the Central Continent, instantly locking onto this area.

One of the most profound and powerful Divine Thoughts, without any hesitation, directly condensed into form on the scene.

As the golden light dissipated, an old man wearing a black Bagua Daoist robe, possessing the demeanor of an immortal, and eyes that seemed to contain the birth and death of stars, appeared out of thin air before everyone.

Wanfa Pavilion, Senior Xuanjizi.

He first glanced at the geng metal true spirit fragment, which radiated infinite temptation, and then his gaze swept over Shadow Erosion, who was held in Lin Chen's hand and was barely breathing. In those eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well, a murderous intent flashed and vanished.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Chen, or more accurately, on the stone ring on Lin Chen's right thumb, which was greedily absorbing a trace of stray golden light, its surface patterns beginning to undergo strange changes.

Senior Xuanjizi took a deep look at Lin Chen; that look seemed to see through all his secrets and trump cards.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh. Using his magic power, the voice clearly resonated throughout the entire devastated Dragonfall Gorge, and at the same time, it was transmitted to those few Nascent Soul Divine Thoughts that were still lingering here, unwilling to leave.

"The Shadow Erosion disaster is confirmed beyond doubt. Lin Chen, come with me back to Tianshu Pavilion to participate in the supreme meeting!"

As his voice fell, those Nascent Soul Divine Thoughts that had swept the area not only did not retreat, but instead, with even more intense scrutiny and greed, locked tightly onto the geng metal true spirit fragment and Lin Chen, whom Senior Xuanjizi had named.
