The God of Heavens

Chapter 337 Turbulent Times, Level 10
When Lin Yu stepped into the city, the entire street seemed to fall silent for a moment.

With his outstanding temperament and majestic appearance, coupled with his remarkable past achievements, he has long been famous and can truly be said to be known by everyone in the world.

"Is this the formidable figure from the Burial Emperor Star? He certainly has an extraordinary presence!"

"Absolutely! Two generations of city commanders fell at his hands, and law enforcers were all crushed to death. It's been so many years since we've seen such a ruthless character!"

"But the tenth city of the human race is full of experts, and who knows, someone might want to go and meet him to test his strength."

"I can't speak for others, but I dare not provoke this one. His aura is simply too terrifying; he's not someone we ordinary cultivators can afford to offend!"

A large number of cultivators lingered here, and discussions arose one after another in the city's streets and alleys.

On both sides of the avenue, pharmacies, weapon shops, and scripture pavilions stand side by side, while taverns and teahouses are bustling with people, creating an extremely prosperous and lively atmosphere.

Lin Yu's cultivation level is now vastly different from before. The Primordial Dao Fruit within him has become increasingly smooth and transparent, with countless Great Dao Laws surrounding him, refining him into an extraordinary and ethereal temperament.

Numerous Dao Fruits flowed endlessly, transforming into a tangible spiritual pressure that ordinary cultivators dared not even look him in the eye, let alone fight him.

The commander of the tenth holy city of the human race and a group of soldiers at the saint level all turned their gazes toward Lin Yu.

Although the Grand Commander had already reached the early stage of Saint King cultivation, he still became secretly solemn during this exchange of glances.

"Commander, what do you think of the strength of this cultivator from the Burial Emperor Star? How does he compare to you?"

Behind the Grand Commander, a Saintly Warrior approached and quietly transmitted his thoughts through divine sense.

"You're asking for a beating!"

The Grand Commander laughed and cursed, "My strength is still a notch below that Enforcer, while this ruthless man from the Burial Emperor Star has killed countless Saint Kings. How can we compare?"

The soldier was still unwilling to give up, muttering under his breath, "But everyone on the ancient road is saying that he killed the city's commander and the law enforcement officer. It won't look good for us..."

"It's alright, let them say what they want, it won't cost them anything," the commander-in-chief waved his hand dismissively.

"Moreover, several protectors have already taken notice of this person and are optimistic about his future. As long as he doesn't cause trouble here, he shouldn't make a fool of himself."

Just then, Lin Yu suddenly looked up at the commander-in-chief. Noticing his gaze, the commander-in-chief immediately led a group of soldiers to meet him.

"I've long heard that a peerless genius has emerged from the Burial Emperor Star, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!"

The Grand Commander clasped his hands in a salute, his armor clanging crisply. "Welcome, Fellow Daoist Lin, to the Tenth City. I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

Lin Yu's gaze swept over the tense soldiers, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "I also want to witness the Great Dao of the Saints. I've heard that this city is a place of sainthood, where the Great Dao resounds. I wonder if it lives up to its name?"

Upon hearing this, the Grand Commander's muscles visibly relaxed beneath his armor: "Fellow Daoist, you truly have discerning eyes. The Daoist aura of this ancient star has never diminished since the mythical era."

Of course, this place is also very dangerous. There are extremely powerful creatures on the ancient star below that frequently attack this holy city.

Among them was even a Tyrannosaurus Rex of the Great Sage level, which had been overlooking the world and intimidating this universe for seven or eight thousand years.

A glint of surprise flashed in Lin Yu's eyes: "It's worth a while."

Seeing this, the Grand Commander calmly took a half-step back: "Then I won't disturb you any longer. If you need anything, you can come to my residence at any time."

After saying this, he turned and left with his soldiers, his iron boots making a neat sound as they stepped on the bluestone slabs.

After they had gone some distance, a soft laugh came from the shadows at the street corner: "Even the Grand Commander didn't dare to say a word. Those from the Burial Emperor Star are indeed ruthless characters."

"What, do you dare to provoke him?" someone asked with amusement.

"Hmph!" The man snorted coldly with a stiff expression, but did not refute it, clearly knowing the gravity of the situation.

"Don't do anything reckless. Let's focus on finding our destiny. If something goes wrong, no one can take the blame!"

Someone spoke calmly, offering a warning.

On this day, a small-scale trial event began in the tenth city. The guide stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering, and his voice echoed throughout the city: "Today, the Ancient Star Trial begins; you are responsible for your own life and death."

The group set off, venturing into a pristine, untouched wilderness.

This ancient star of life is vast and boundless, with its desolate land stretching to the horizon. Even when viewed from high above, its boundaries are hard to see, making it large enough to accommodate numerous cultivators practicing in different locations.

Lin Yu traveled alone, single-mindedly searching for sacred places to attain enlightenment. With each step he took, faint Dao patterns would appear beneath his feet, creating a subtle resonance with the world around him.

"Interesting." Lin Yu suddenly stopped. There were some kind of claw marks left on the rock wall in front of him, and each mark contained a complete Dao principle.

He reached out and gently touched the rock wall, and it resonated like a dragon's roar.

A deep, guttural roar echoed from afar, and the entire forest fell silent. Leaves rustled without wind, and a terrifying aura was awakening.

Lin Yu seemed not to hear and continued to move forward in the direction with the densest Dao traces.

He abandoned all distractions, neither coveting divine materials and treasures nor seeking supernatural powers and secret techniques, and devoted all his energy to his own cultivation.

For him, different cultivation environments and other people's unique insights into the Great Dao are all valuable nourishment for cultivation, which can help more people understand the true meaning of the Great Dao.

"Ow..."

Three silver-backed demonic apes leaped out, baring their teeth and blocking the way. Every hair on their bodies shimmered with intricate Dao patterns, clearly indicating that they were ferocious beasts at the early stage of the Saint realm.

Lin Yu didn't even lift his eyelids; the Daoist aura flowing naturally around him sent them flying, crashing through more than a dozen mountains before finally stopping.

The deeper one goes, the clearer the principles of heaven and earth become.

This place truly lives up to its reputation as a blessed and ancient land of life, teeming with powerful beings, including ancient beasts of Saint King level. Many forbidden areas harbor hidden dangers; venturing in rashly could cost you your life.

Saint King-level Saint Beast Kings are a deadly threat to the trial participants, not to mention the numerous Saint Beasts under their command.

If these ancient beasts join forces, even a human saint or expert could be defeated and killed if they are not careful.

"what……"

A piercing scream tore through the sky. As Lin Yu arrived, he saw the entire mountain range in front of him collapse.

Golden blood energy filled the heavens and earth, and a colossal creature was churning in the clouds. Wherever its nine dragon tails swept, mountains collapsed like sandcastles.

"The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon has gone berserk!" A cultivator covered in blood staggered as he fled, "It has already devoured more than a dozen fellow cultivators!"

Golden light raged across the sky, and a ferocious beast hundreds of feet long coiled in front of it.

Its entire body was cast in gold, with the body of a crocodile and the head of a dragon. Its nine tails stirred up the wind and clouds. Every time it opened and closed its huge mouth, cultivators were blown to pieces in the blood mist.

As Lin Yu arrived, the rampaging Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was about to sink back into the swamp.

Suddenly its golden scales stood on end, and its nine tails froze in mid-air—

"You're quite alert." Lin Yu chuckled, and with a casual grab of his right hand, the space within a thousand miles instantly froze.

The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was horrified to find that its hundred-foot-long body had been compressed to less than a foot by an invisible force, and it was lifted up in front of its opponent like a small fish.

As soon as Lin Yu arrived, he keenly sensed an unusual place. This place was filled with a unique aura of the Great Dao, as if there were traces of the Dao left by an ancient emperor.

The dragon-crocodile that occupies this place is like a "gatekeeper BOSS" guarding the secret realm. To enter, one must first defeat this powerful and ferocious beast.

The nine-tailed crocodile dragon was terrified and struggled frantically, its nine dragon tails thrashing wildly in an attempt to escape. However, Lin Yu raised his hand and punched the crocodile dragon so hard that its head was buzzing.

Immediately, the crocodile dragon stopped struggling and fell asleep.

Lin Yu focused his mind and sensed that this place was filled with a unique Daoist aura, originating from a peerless master. Judging from the aura, it should be a powerful demon.

It's even highly likely that he was a demon emperor before he attained enlightenment!
"Traversing ancient stars, seeking insights and essences of the Great Dao, the legacy and insights left by the Demon Emperor are no less than a grand feast!"

Lin Yu was overjoyed and turned his gaze to the vast water palace.

The lake is tranquil and filled with spiritual energy. It spans thousands of miles and no living creature dares to venture in. This is a treasure land, occupied by a supreme divine beast.

However, now that he was holding the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon in his hand, it was quiet and peaceful, so no one stopped him.

Lin Yu stepped straight into the cave and, after a thorough search, reaped a rich harvest.

The underwater cave contains many magical artifacts and cultivation methods for sacred beasts, but the most precious of all is the supreme secret technique for condensing dragon blood and helping living beings evolve into true dragons, although some of its contents have been damaged by the erosion of time.

Lin Yu quickly glanced at the objects inside the cave, without lingering, and walked straight into the depths of the water cave.

Reaching the innermost part of the ancient cave, he stopped in front of a stone wall, pressed his palms against the wall, and suddenly exerted force.

With a muffled rumble, the stone wall slowly moved, revealing another cave hidden behind it.

This place is even more mysterious. So many tens of thousands of years have passed, and even in the generation of the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon, this cave has not been found.

In an instant, brilliant rays of light burst forth, and auspicious colors burst forth, piercing through the water palace, overflowing the lake surface, and illuminating the entire sky with dazzling brilliance.

Not to mention the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon that was right next to them, even other cultivators in the distance would know that an ancient treasure must have appeared.

"Ancient Demon Clan Heavenly Book!" the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon roared, its eyes turning red. It had been guarding a treasure mountain in vain, yet had not obtained the most precious item, unaware that a divine treasure lay just a stone's throw away.

These are nine pieces of ancient celestial jade, each exuding an ancient charm and flowing with the vicissitudes of time, emanating a peaceful and misty aura.

"Oh, you're awake."

Lin Yu lifted its tail, and golden light burst forth, its golden scales clanging and scattering a large expanse of dazzling light.

"Human, this is my territory. How dare you enter like this..." the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon said cautiously.

"Is it something?" Lin Yu's gaze sharpened, his tone unfriendly.

"That's good. Treasures should be reserved for the virtuous. I think you, sir, are very virtuous."

"Hmph! Speak properly, or I'll skin you alive and make you into glittering crocodile-skin combat boots." Lin Yu said calmly.

He extended his divine sense and scanned the nine jade pieces, each of which was imprinted with an ancient demon clan secret technique.

These are not complete ancient scriptures, but fragments of the Great Dao that have been lost by the demon race for a long time. They contain profound methods such as purifying blood and refining dragon blood, and are far more complete than the secret techniques he found in the outer cave.

Although these incomplete methods are not a complete system of inheritance, they cover multiple areas of cultivation for the demon race and are considered invaluable treasures to sacred beasts.

In particular, the method of purifying dragon blood, if mastered, would undoubtedly be a direct path to the pinnacle for demon cultivators.

"This is the culmination of the Demon Emperor's efforts in collecting and organizing the lost traditions of the demon race before he attained enlightenment! It is truly a priceless heavenly book!" Lin Yu exclaimed in amazement after reading it.

Although these fragments are not the complete inheritance of the Demon Emperor, they record in detail the Demon Emperor's early cultivation explorations and bold deductions, from which one can glimpse his astonishing wisdom.

While the secret methods inscribed on the nine ancient jade pieces are certainly precious, the insights into cultivation and sparks of thought they contain are the true treasures.

For Lin Yu, cultivation manuals were never a scarce resource, but the Demon Emperor's unique way of thinking was an immeasurable treasure.
