Chapter 848 Breaking the Hundred-Thousand-Year Cage
Boom——Boom——Boom——

The sound of successive explosions echoed throughout the boundless sea of ​​stars.

These are the symphonies composed by beings who have reached the pinnacle of life energy in this lifetime, through their final moments of life and death.

Whether in life or death, the rhythm of these explosions intertwined has the power to penetrate and shake the mind of anyone.

Even Old Ghost Lin seemed to be moved by such rhythm.

He stood still, his eyes slightly narrowed, a look of rapture on his face.

It was as if the power of time had been superimposed, and a certain youthful vibrancy returned to him. Those explosions reminded him of the various events of the dark and turbulent era.

Finally, with this sentimental feeling, Old Ghost Lin looked at Yue Hanzhang, who was emerging from the last collapsing storm, and unusually offered some words of advice.

"Back then, I was just like you, valuing killing more than anything else."

"If I am able to control a person's life and death, it means that my Taoist methods have been differentiated from his."

"But I have plunged an entire era into darkness and turmoil, and the Human Yuan Golden Elixir cultivation method that I created has come to an end long ago, and I still can't see the way forward."

"It is clear that killing cannot determine everything in the world."

"You have a long road ahead of you."

“Every step and every step I have taken today, you will also take.”

"Do not get so caught up in the killing that you lose sight of the proper way to go."

Upon hearing these words...

Yue Hanzhang instinctively wanted to frown.

It wasn't that Yue Hanzhang couldn't listen to other people's advice.

But at this moment, when everything had been captured and the dust had settled, Lin Laogui, affected by the symphony of life and death, revealed an extremely aged side of his mentality.

This is not good.

Even though he has lived through many lifetimes.

But facing the prospect of almost breaking free from the constraints of the path ahead, after "raising troops" for hundreds of thousands of years, waiting for this great opportunity, Old Ghost Lin should have a spirit of striving and courage, and an invigorated and high-spirited attitude.

As for the preaching itself.

Yue Hanzhang had no intention of arguing with him.

What appears to be a mere act of killing actually signifies Yue Hanzhang's silent and complete acquisition of massive data traffic resources.

Under the sweeping, devastating bloody storm caused by Lin Laogui's instantaneous killing of six people.

Of the remaining nine aristocratic patriarchs, two were killed in the gaps when Lin Laogui waved his blood-red banner and casually killed them.

Seven people died from Yue Hanzhang's instantaneous killing techniques, which involved manipulating reality and illusion to enter the inner world.

An unprecedented volume and quality of data flow was deposited in Yue Hanzhang's mechanical mind. The massive amount of pure data storage even showed a slight tendency to squeeze the peak computing power at this moment.

Such an incredible and substantial gain was enough for Yue Hanzhang to justify all the risks he had taken to get involved.

But this is far from the end.

Yue Hanzhang's gaze fell imperceptibly on the unprecedented collapse and storm vortex.

At this moment, Lin Laogui truly demonstrated, beyond mere attack, the profound Daoist foundation he had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years of living in the world.

It was just the banners waving.

The collapsing storms are merging into one.

There was no reduction in scale or energy during the merging of any storms.

This is not even a simple superposition of the two.

Rather, it is like the two patriarchs of the Wang family in the past, where the foundation of their Taoist teachings is interwoven in an orderly manner, mutually enhancing and generating each other in a state of rapid growth.

To know.

The surge in power that they achieved through mutual support in the past was due to the cooperation between the two Wang family ancestors, the tacit understanding they had cultivated over hundreds of thousands of years, and the influence of various external factors such as their shared path of cultivation.

However, here...

These fifteen Inner Realm Dao Lords did not actively cooperate in completing the mutual fusion of their Dao Lord Dharma Domains before their deaths.

Moreover, their respective families, the paths they followed, and the foundations they possessed in Taoist practices were all completely different.

Now, the power of fifteen collapsing storms can be perfectly intertwined into one.

This is far more difficult than the integration between the two ancestors of the Wang family.

This is a pure manifestation of Lin Laogui's own profound Taoist knowledge!
His realm remains stuck at the third level of the Inner Realm, unable to make any further progress due to the same constraints.

However, his foundation in Taoist arts has been cultivated to an unimaginable degree!

perhaps.

Only such people can be confident in trying to break through the shackles that have bound generations of geniuses and prodigies of the human race for hundreds and thousands of years!

Think so.

Yue Hanzhang gave a rather perfunctory response to what Old Ghost Lin had just said.

"This junior humbly accepts your instruction."

And at the same time.

Old Ghost Lin has completed the fusion of the final collapsing storm with the main storm.

He glanced at Yue Hanzhang, as if sensing Yue Hanzhang's perfunctory attitude.

Whether you accept the instruction or not is your own business; ultimately, you have to walk your own path.

"I can't worry about that anymore..."

"I also have my own path to walk!"

That air of premature aging that made Yue Hanzhang want to frown was still there.

However, Yue Hanzhang was not given any more time to react.

As soon as the words were spoken.

With a flick of his hand, Lin Laogui summoned the jade cauldron, which was now suspended in the center of this unprecedentedly massive collapsing storm.

The edge of the storm has even extended to the desolate borders of the already explored star systems.

A massive amount of surging energy was frantically extracted from the jade cauldron in an instant. And almost simultaneously...

Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui focused their divine senses on the jade cauldron, while the other half suddenly dispersed into the world, monitoring in all directions.

at the same time.

Within Yue Hanzhang's seventh-level Dao Realm world, his six external avatars all reflected the Thunderfire Devouring Furnace, beginning to frantically refine the Nine Revolutions Dao Sea Blood River Evolution Saint Treasure Pill.

Then, a massive amount of extraordinary magical power condensed towards the Dao Landscape World of the Eighth Heaven, in order to reshape the Return to Heaven and Earth Talisman that had been shattered due to its use.

obviously.

At this moment, Yue Hanzhang was both an observer of the ceremony and a protector of the Dharma.

He had even prepared for the worst-case scenario—that the mastermind behind the scenes, the combined entity of the Lotus Clan and the Spirit Head Clan, who dared to plot against Old Ghost Lin, would make their move in the Pass World.

In order to buy Lin Laogui some precious time, Yue Hanzhang even had the mental preparation to "risk his life" again.

The mechanical brain is operating at high intensity.

Every wisp of starlight turbulence is deduced and interpreted within the data model of the chaotic dynamic algorithm.

But a long time has passed.

Under the covert and all-out defense of Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui.

The anticipated appearance of the mastermind behind the scenes never happened.

If it doesn't appear in the short term, it might still be a wait-and-see approach.

However, when they did not appear for a long time, Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui both breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that Lin Laogui's original intention in implementing this strategy was correct!
He deliberately disrupted the timeline set by the mastermind to extract the source of extraordinary power from him.

Consequently, they gained absolute initiative in a short period of time!
From this perspective, at least until things move to the next stage, or until a significant and unexpected turn of events occurs, the mastermind behind it will not rashly reveal themselves.

And just a few breaths later, a feeling of relief arose spontaneously.

In a very short moment.

Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui's gazes both fell on the center of the storm vortex, which had shrunk to the size of a typical inner realm third-level Dao Lord's domain during the collapse.

The storm, amplified and enhanced by the combined power of the Daoist origins of the fifteen Inner Realm Dao Lords, was still drawing energy from the storm itself even after only one or two Inner Realm Dao Lords remained.

More than 90% of the energy, and the extractive power it generated, were all poured into Lin Laogui's jade cauldron.

then.

Yue Hanzhang and Lin Laogui both witnessed the results after such a massive consumption!

Inside the jade cauldron.

The surging, pure crimson light crashed wildly against the rune array, seemingly about to soar into the sky.

Within that crimson glow was the purest energy eruption that Yue Hanzhang had ever sensed in his life.

But from beginning to end, not a single trace of extraordinary radiant power emerged.

Purify!
Using the methods and techniques taught by Yue Hanzhang, Lin Laogui took the lead and completed the purification of the source of this extraordinary power in one fell swoop!
With a wave of his hand, Lin Laogui retrieved the jade cauldron from the center of the storm vortex.

Even though the remaining energy was insufficient to remove the "stubborn stains" from Yue Hanzhang's body, Yue Hanzhang still took out the Nine-Aperture Jade Bead and threw it into the collapsing storm to complete the final replenishment of the storm's extracted power.

However, Yue Hanzhang devoted very little of his attention to this place.

His entire gaze followed the jade cauldron.

Old Ghost Lin held the jade cauldron that was emitting blood-red smoke in his hands. In a very brief instant, the expression on his face seemed to convey a thousand words.

At last.

He revealed an extremely carefree smile.

"Young friend, look carefully!"

Then, under Yue Hanzhang's gaze, blood flames, imbued with the essence of his form, spirit, and Daoist magic, surged from Lin Laogui's hand, enveloping the entire jade cauldron.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, Lin Laogui placed the jade cauldron, which was merging with the blood flames, directly onto his brow.

In an instant.

Yue Hanzhang then pushed the [All-Seeing Eye] to its limit.

And the same.

At this moment, Lin Laogui did not use any Taoist magic to conceal his form and spirit. The fluctuations of his outward aura made it clear that the two were separated by a large cultivation realm.

Yue Hanzhang keenly observed the very blurry light and shadow in Lin Laogui's inner world through these outward expressions of form, spirit, and Taoist aura.

This is enough!

He witnessed it with his own eyes: a beam of blood-red smoke descended from the sky in the Dao Realm and poured directly into Lin Laogui's inner primordial spirit.

Amidst the turbulent winds and clouds of heaven and earth.

Lin Laogui's inner world underwent a further, more condensed, shrinking process in an instant.

This is also accompanied by the shrinking of the interior world.

Suddenly, a unique realm that combined the real and the illusory opened up behind Lin Laogui, and a corner of that realm connected to his physical and spiritual world.

The Dharma Flame Illuminates All Things; in that realm where reality and illusion coexist, Yue Hanzhang truly saw six radiant energy orbs, shining like the true sun.

That's the remaining Daoist world of Old Ghost Lin!
In the past, when he broke through the shackles, the process of refining the Dao Landscape World should have been completed in one fell swoop. All nine Dao Landscape Worlds rushed towards the Form and Spirit World, but only three were actually refined into the Form and Spirit World.

The remaining six Dao Scenery Worlds that crossed over were stuck halfway through the crossing, neither returning to the reflection of the former Dao Scenery World nor falling back into the already overflowing World of Form and Spirit.

Strictly speaking, even though hundreds or thousands of years have passed, the cultivation paths of Lin Laogui and the others are still stuck at the moment when they successfully refined the outer world in one fell swoop.

And now.

The world of Lin Laogui's form and spirit is no longer overflowing.

The fourth round of true yang sun suddenly slid down from that realm of illusion and reality.

boom--!
An unprecedented surge of arrogance suddenly erupted from Lin Laogui!

Throughout history, for countless millennia, the shackles that have bound the path of humanity have truly been shattered by Old Ghost Lin at this moment!
Immediately, Yue Hanzhang closed his eyes.

He could no longer look.

At this moment, Lin Laogui himself transformed into the true yang sun!

The interior is divided into four realms!
