The God of Heavens

Chapter 297 Lord of the Future
On this day, the battle of the Temple of Essence came to an end.

Three hundred thousand soldiers fought bravely and captured this great holy land in one fell swoop.

The battle was a resounding success, with hundreds of thousands of slaves captured and 100,000 enemy soldiers beheaded; the amount of grain, weapons, armor, supplies, treasures, and horses seized was countless.

They captured a pope and a great scholar, seven kings and eighteen marshals; thirty-three martial arts masters and numerous nobles of duke rank and above were also taken prisoner.

The hundreds of priests and Taoist practitioners from the Jingyuan Temple were also captured.

The core strength of the Western Regions was uprooted.

After this battle, the essence of the Western Regions was wiped out, and the news shook the world.

This was an unprecedented victory for the Central Plains against the Western Regions since the decisive battle between the Holy Emperor Yu and the Great Emperor Moro, a truly landmark victory.

Although the overall situation of the war has been settled, the subsequent fighting will continue for a long time.

This decapitation operation wiped out the elite of the Western Regions, but the subsequent land occupation and local governance issues were equally serious.

That night, tens of thousands of official reports and secret letters were sent from the battlefield to various places.

Within just three or four days, powerful families, governors, nobles, and strong figures from various regions, as well as Taoist sects and secret forces, learned of the great victory in the Western Regions.

Smaller factions also learned of this good news within half a month.

The news of the great victory thrilled the court and the people cheered with joy.

In the capital city of Yujing, fireworks lit up the sky as if it were New Year's Eve, and wealthy families celebrated with pride in being citizens of the Celestial Empire.

The entire Daqian Tianzhou was jubilant, but undercurrents were stirring.

The name of the Fourth Prince Yang Qian became renowned throughout the land.

From academies and lecture halls to teahouses in the city, from royal gatherings to brothels and taverns, everyone was talking about this great victory.

However, Lin Yu had no time to enjoy the joy of victory at this moment.

After sending out an immortal primordial spirit to handle the affairs of the Western Regions and the affairs of the Great Qian army, he immediately returned to the Primordial Heavenly Gate.

"This battle is finally over. One of the six great holy lands in the world is gone."

Dragon Girl Ao Luan, Heavenly Serpent King Xing Mou, and the heads of the four great saintly families also returned to the Heavenly Gate.

In this great battle, they also charged to the front lines, leading the Creation Shadow Guards of the Great Qian Dynasty against the mage corps of the Western Regions, suffering considerable losses.

Fortunately, none of them suffered serious and irreversible damage and were able to recover with a little rest.

"Your magical powers have been damaged. I will help you recover, and even help you reach a higher level!"

Lin Yu's gaze was firm as he surveyed the crowd and said, "Defeating the Primordial God this time has granted me the Three Realms Primordial Qi Pool, which is also the Immortal God King's inkstone, as well as nine Chaos Primordial Qi Relics. I will refine them immediately to enhance your cultivation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunder surged within the Primordial Thunder Pool, and waves tens of feet high exploded with a deafening roar.

Although the Yuanqi God, who was suppressed and on the verge of death, was trapped, he could still sense the outside world. Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, he began to struggle in his death throes.

"Any struggle is futile! Vitality Spirit!"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yu unleashed a powerful surge of magical energy from the Thunder Pool.

"Violent Primordial Energy, Immortal True Qi... Five Absolute Techniques of Demonic Prison, Divine King's Reincarnation, Condensed!"

However, at that moment, the primordial energy deep within the Thunder Pool suddenly erupted.

A powerful force surged forth from his body, causing the Thunder Pool to crackle and splash, and the eight Yuan Qi relics seemed to be about to recombine.

Immediately afterwards, an aura far surpassing that of the Primordial Spirit God, seemingly resembling that of an ancient demon god, spread out.

This intent consisted of five strands, as vast as mountains and seas, as expansive as the sky and as imprisoned, directly attacking Lin Yu's Dao Heart Essence.

This is the most brutal, ferocious, annihilating, and dominating thought from the ancient past.

Five profound ways of thinking, directly attacking one's own mind.

"It would be more likely if the five Great God-Kings themselves came, but they dare to interfere with the will of others?"

Lin Yu's aura surged, and with the Primordial Dao Fruit activated, the fire of wisdom rose from his thoughts, instantly burning away the five invading intentions.

"Three Realms Primordial Energy Pool, decompose!"

Lin Yu raised his hand and pointed, and powerful magic power surged directly into the magic treasure. Instantly, Lin Yu thoroughly explored many of the formations in the Three Realms Yuanqi Pool.

The ink in this Three Realms Primordial Qi Pool is not any kind of ink, but a kind of blood, the blood of an ancient god-king, which contains extremely powerful energy.

Boom!

This enormous divine inkstone, filled with thick ink, was completely crushed by Lin Yu's single hand, and the divine blood within it was all absorbed into the Primordial Thunder Pool.

The entire Thunder Pool has changed once again!
In addition to the power of thunder, the Thunder Pool also has the mysterious function of nourishing one's vital energy, which is of great benefit to the cultivator's physical body and soul.

Now, by cultivating in the pool, even without consciously channeling one's energy, one can passively temper oneself.

Even better, the divine blood integrated into it will continue to work, automatically repairing the damage caused by the lightning tempering, so that the cultivator has no worries.

"With this Thunder Pool, we won't have to rely solely on Dragon Tooth Rice anymore. By cultivating here, we can also nurture our physical bodies to the level of Human Immortals." The Heavenly Serpent King's eyes lit up. He raised his hand and waved it lightly, and a wisp of thunder water fell into his palm, instantly disappearing into his body.

She focused her attention and sensed that although it was only a slight improvement, she could clearly perceive that her physical body had changed.

"There's no time to lose, you should all quickly enter the Thunder Pool and recover your magical power!" Lin Yu said with a smile.

Dragon Girl Ao Luan and Heavenly Serpent King Xing Mou exchanged a glance before stepping into the Thunder Pool one after the other. In an instant, the primordial energy in the pool surged, nourishing their bodies and souls like a living spring.

The Heavenly Serpent King, with his flowing black robes that accentuated his graceful figure, exuded an ethereal charm. His eyes, which seemed to hold the weight of the Milky Way, shimmered with an unfathomable light.

The dragon girl Ao Luan appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in red silk, standing gracefully, with two dragon horns on her forehead as delicate as blood-red coral, adding to her charm.

The pool water soaked through their clothes, outlining the two women's graceful curves.

Lin Yu looked at the two women's slightly flushed faces and asked softly, "How do you feel?"

With a smile in her eyes, she nodded and said, "Very good. Nourished by the Thunder Pool, your magic power has been fully restored, and your thoughts have become more refined and stable, making them harder to defeat."

Ao Luan suddenly tilted her head and invited, "Want to experience it together?" This made Xingmou's cheeks flush red. Although she was a little shy, she did not object.

Lin Yu laughed and stepped into the Thunder Pool.

The pond water rippled and swayed, occasionally letting out a suppressed murmur, while the bright moon hung high in the night sky, casting a cool, silvery glow.

It wasn't until midnight that Lin Yu returned to the main temple of Tianmen.

He was refreshed and full of energy. The two women, on the other hand, stayed in their newly created miniature world to rest and recuperate.

Lin Yu stared at the trapped Yuan Qi God, raised his hand and grabbed, and eight Chaos Yuan Qi Relics flew out from its body.

This is a treasure coveted by everyone in the cultivation world. The relic carries the spiritual imprint of the Primordial Spirit, containing his memories and the essence of his Taoist arts.

It's practically a smaller version of Genkijin.

Refining the primordial chaos energy within relics can not only directly enhance one's cultivation level, but if one deciphers its mysteries, such as the method of the Three Realms Primordial Energy Cannon, it can also multiply the power of Taoist arts and magical treasures.

No wonder the Primordial Spirit was treated like a fat pig by cultivators from all walks of life, and countless people risked their lives to sneak into the Primordial Spirit Temple just to seize a relic.

With a casual flick of his wrist, a surge of chaotic energy crashed down in the center of the Primordial Heavenly Gate.

This "chaotic energy" is an incarnation of the Primordial Spirit, and it is a "Primordial Relic of Chaos".

Even though it was imprisoned by Lin Yu, the relic continued to condense wildly, flashing white light as if it were about to explode.

It was the primordial spirit and soul imprint within that was causing the trouble.

He exhaled a mouthful of celestial pure fire, and the soul imprint of the ten-acre-sized chaotic sphere was instantly obliterated by the pure fire just as it began to solidify.

Lin Yu then completely refined the "Primordial Chaos Relic," and within its spiritual imprint lay the most exquisite secrets of the Three Realms Primordial Chaos Cannon.

As time passed, the sounds of ancient stars exploding could be faintly heard in the main hall.

After contemplating it for a while, he put away the remaining eight relics and continued to train his primordial spirit.

After losing nine Primordial Chaos Relics, the Primordial Spirit showed no signs of diminishing, which was simply outrageous. Such a foundation was even deeper than that of an ordinary Creator.

"Luckily, I acted quickly enough to prevent you from taking human form. Otherwise, where would I have found another creator-level deity?"

Lin Yu looked at the miserable Yuan Qi Shen and a cold smile crept across his face.

His "Future Unborn Sutra" has reached its final stage, completely integrating the immortal primordial spirit into the soul, at which point this technique will be perfected.

At that time, the immortal primordial spirit will transform into the future master, an unparalleled external avatar, capable of absorbing the faith of all beings and continuously enhancing its own magical power.

"Nine gods unite as one, immortal primordial spirit, external avatar, future master, gather them for me!"

After obliterating the divine body of the Primordial Spirit God, nine layers of faith halo suddenly flew out from behind Lin Yu's head, and then quickly merged together, transforming into a humanoid object.

As soon as the object flew out, it immediately began to absorb the divine power of the Primordial Spirit. The endless power of faith was devoured one by one, gradually condensing into a person sitting on a lotus platform, with his hands forming a mudra, wearing a golden robe.

Although this person was dressed in a golden robe, it was not the kind of tall hat and strange clothes worn by scholars and officials. Instead, he was bare-chested, with his feet raised. He had a vertical eye between his eyebrows, an eye in each palm, an eye in the sole of his foot, an eye on the top of his head, and an eye in the center of his back, for a total of nine eyes.

The future ruler has finally taken shape at this moment!

Having intercepted the accumulated power of Prince Yang Yun and Emperor Yang Pan over many years, along with countless forces of faith, and having annihilated the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable and the Four Gods of the Western Regions, and now having devoured the Creator God Body of the Primordial Qi God, the future Lord has finally been completely forged!
The nine eyes on the future ruler are the "Heavenly Eye", "Earthly Eye", "Wisdom Eye", "Intelligence Eye", "Illusion Eye", "Dharma Eye", "True Eye", "Illusory Eye" and "Mysterious Eye".

These nine eyes are all-seeing, able to see through the past and the future, and all kinds of changes.

As the nine eyes blinked and flickered incessantly, Lin Yu felt a torrent of information being processed.

Every breath was calculated billions of times.

This is equivalent to Lin Yu possessing a divine artifact capable of calculating the changes of heaven and earth—a supreme being! A sage!

The supreme scripture of the Great Zen Temple, the "Future Unborn Sutra," was finally completed at this moment, officially unlocking its profound and wondrous powers.

Any martial arts or Taoist technique can be calculated by the future master.

This not only means that he has mastered greater power, but also that he is able to more thoroughly grasp and create the future.
