151: Lin Huan entered sainthood

Deep within the Falling Dragon Ravine, the terrain became increasingly perilous. Cliff faces on both sides towered into the clouds, strange rocks jutted out, and the Dragon Might and bloody stench filling the air grew thicker.

Lin Huan's figure was like smoke, weaving through the strange, jagged rocks, easily avoiding some naturally formed dangerous air currents and hidden poisonous miasma.

Soon, he arrived at an extremely wide valley floor.

In the center of the valley floor was a gigantic, pitch-black deep pool shaped like a Dragon's head. The pool water was murky, constantly bubbling, and emitting a nauseating stench.

And at this moment, suspended above the deep pool was a phantom image, the size of a millstone, emitting a soft golden light!

The phantom image was Dragon-shaped. Although blurry, it exuded pure and majestic Dragon Might. At its core, a drop of dark golden blood, containing immense energy, could faintly be seen rising and falling!

This was precisely the Dragon Soul Essence and True Dragon Treasured Blood left behind by the fallen True Dragon!

And at this moment, three groups of people were confronting each other around the Dragon Soul Essence and True Dragon Treasured Blood, with swords drawn and bows bent!

One side consisted of several Cultivators dressed in black robes, exuding a cold aura and Cultivating Demonic Techniques. The leader was a withered-faced old man whose cultivation had surprisingly reached the Mid-Saint Realm!

The other side consisted of several Great Shape-Shifting Yao Demons whose Demonic Qi shot to the sky. Their true forms seemed to be powerful Yao Beasts from the vicinity, attracted by the Dragon Soul. The leader, a Black Bear Demon, also possessed the strength of the Mid-Saint Realm.

The last side had the most people, dressed haphazardly, resembling Loose Cultivators and a small faction Alliance who had arrived after hearing the news, led by two Cultivators in the Early Stage of the Saint Realm.

The three factions were wary of each other, none daring to strike first to seize the treasure, fearing they would become the target of all.

The Dragon Soul Essence also seemed to instinctively sense the danger. Its golden light flickered, drawing the deep pool water to form water tornadoes to protect itself.

Lin Huan's arrival immediately drew the attention of the three groups.

Seeing that he was just a half-grown child, and his aura was only at the Peak of the Carefree Realm, they were surprised he could arrive safely, but they didn't pay him much mind, assuming he was just a junior who had slipped in due to good luck.

"Where did this little brat come from? This place is dangerous, retreat quickly!"

An elderly man in the Early Stage of the Saint Realm from the Loose Cultivator Alliance, who still possessed some kindness, shouted this warning.

The Demonic Path old man laughed sinisterly, "Since you've come, don't leave. You'll be perfect for a blood sacrifice to this Dragon Soul to increase its power!"

The Black Bear Demon let out a roar that shook the valley, full of menace.

Lin Huan, however, seemed not to hear their threats. His gaze was completely drawn to the cluster of Dragon Soul Essence and True Dragon Treasured Blood.

It wasn't because of the power it contained, but because the Primal Origin Scripture inside his body surprisingly began to accelerate its operation on its own, generating a strange "craving" for the trace of ancient, pure Origin aura contained within the Dragon Soul Essence.

"This thing... seems to be useful to me."

Lin Huan stroked his chin and muttered softly to himself.

Although his voice was soft, everyone present had considerable cultivation and heard him clearly.

Hearing this, the Demonic Path old man's killing intent surged: "A brat who doesn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth! You seek death!"

He couldn't be bothered with more nonsense. He flicked his finger, and a finger beam, black as ink and carrying the power to corrode the Divine Soul, shot toward Lin Huan like a viper!

This strike was easily enough to kill any Carefree Realm Cultivator!

"Be careful!"

The Loose Cultivator old man cried out in alarm, but it was too late to rescue him.

However, facing this attack, Lin Huan merely raised his hand casually, extended his index finger, and lightly tapped the finger beam.

Pop~

A soft sound, like a bubble popping.

The Demonic Path finger beam, which would have made even an Early Stage Saint Realm Cultivator prepare seriously, instantly melted and dissolved upon contact with Lin Huan's fingertip, like ice and snow meeting the sun, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating. It didn't even scratch the skin on his finger.

The Demonic Path old man's pupils shrank abruptly. He cried out, losing his voice: "Impossible! You..."

Lin Huan ignored their shock; his attention was still on the Dragon Soul Essence.

He felt the power of Primal Origin within his body growing more active, seemingly eager to "devour" that thing.

He no longer hesitated. His figure moved, floating toward the Dragon Soul Essence.

"Stop him!"

"The treasure is ours!"

"Kill!"

Seeing that Lin Huan dared to ignore them and directly take the treasure, the three factions instantly shared a common hatred, temporarily setting aside their mutual vigilance. All sorts of Divine Abilities, Magic Treasures, and Demonic Techniques rained down on Lin Huan like a violent storm!

For a time, energy surged violently in the valley floor, light shone brightly, and killing intent was chilling!

Faced with this siege, which was powerful enough to blast several Saint Realm Cultivators into dust, Lin Huan finally frowned slightly.

It wasn't that he was afraid; he just found it a little... noisy.

He stopped, looked at the attacks assaulting him from all directions, took a gentle breath, and then exhaled.

There was no sound, but an invisible and intangible Primal Origin Qi, seemingly originating from the beginning of Heaven and Earth and the source of all things, rippled outward from him like water.

Wherever this aura passed, the violent energy attacks—whether Devilish Qi, demonic power, or magic power—all disintegrated and dissolved as if meeting their nemesis, reverting back to the most basic Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!

The whistling Magic Treasures instantly dimmed, clattering to the ground like common iron!

A single exhalation dissolved all the attacks!

This time, even the Demonic Path old man and the Black Bear Demon, both in the Mid-Saint Realm, were terrified and changed color!

They felt the supreme Origin power contained within that aura, a power that transcended their understanding!

"Who... who exactly are you?!"

The Demonic Path old man's voice trembled, devoid of his previous arrogance.

Lin Huan did not answer. He had already arrived before the Dragon Soul Essence.

The Dragon Soul also seemed to sense the pure and vast Origin aura within his body. It no longer resisted, instead transmitting a feeling of closeness and reliance.

Lin Huan reached out and gently touched the golden light.

Buzz!

The Dragon Soul Essence and the drop of True Dragon Treasured Blood transformed into a warm current and actively merged into his body!

In an instant, dazzling light erupted from all around Lin Huan!

A Dragon Might, far purer and vaster than before, mixed with Primal Origin Qi, shot up into the sky!

The Primal Origin Scripture inside his body ran frantically, quickly refining and absorbing this external yet homologous power!

His cultivation Bottleneck, the thin barrier leading to the Saint Realm, shattered with a boom under the impact of this power!

The Saint Realm, achieved!

Moreover, it wasn't just a novice entry; his aura stabilized directly at the Peak of the First Heaven of the Saint Realm!

More importantly, his Physique seemed to undergo a subtle change.

Beneath his skin, a faint Chaos-colored radiance flowed. In his eyes, a scene of the creation of Heaven and Earth seemed to flash past.

The trace of True Dragon Origin contained within the Dragon Soul was perfectly integrated into his own Primal Origin. Not only was there no conflict, but it made his Origin thicker and more vibrant!

The light gradually subsided. Lin Huan felt the surging power within him and the clearer Laws of Heaven and Earth, and nodded in satisfaction.

"The taste wasn't bad."

He turned his head and looked at the three groups of people who were already terrified and collapsed on the ground, especially the Demonic Path old man.

When the Demonic Path old man met his gaze, he trembled all over, as if falling into an ice cavern, and immediately kowtowed repeatedly: "Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!"

"This lowly one was blind and offended Senior. I beg Senior to spare this lowly one's wretched life!"

Lin Huan looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "You tried to kill me just now."

The Demonic Path old man was Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering: "This lowly one dares not! This lowly one knows his mistake!"

Lin Huan was not a bloodthirsty person, but neither was he overly benevolent.

With a casual wave, a stream of Primal Origin power entered the Demonic Path old man's body. It didn't kill him, but rather crippled most of his Demonic Technique Foundation, causing his cultivation to fall back to the Nirvana Realm, serving as a minor punishment and a warning.

"Don't harm others again in the future."

After Lin Huan finished speaking, he ignored the ashen-faced Demonic Path old man and the others who were silent with fear. His figure flickered, and he vanished deep within the Falling Dragon Ravine.

He needed to find a quiet place to properly consolidate his newly Broken Through cultivation and comprehend the changes brought by the Dragon Soul Origin.

Not long after he left, rumors about a mysterious youth appearing in the Falling Dragon Ravine, forcing back all the heroes with a single breath, easily refining the Dragon Soul Essence, and suspected to be a direct descendant of the Lin Family, began to spread rapidly throughout the area.

The name Lin Huan, for the first time, entered the sights of certain interested parties in an extremely powerful manner.

Meanwhile, deep within the Lin Family Forbidden Ground.

Lin Dao, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes. His gaze seemed to pierce through endless space, landing on a distant location.

"Huan'er... has he finally begun his Awakening?

Primal Origin Body... Heh heh, it seems this Heaven and Earth is truly about to become lively."

A barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth. He then closed his eyes again, and the Chaos Qi currents around him churned even more violently.
