The God of Heavens

Chapter 338 The Enforcers Return

The nine-tailed crocodile dragon stared wide-eyed as Lin Yu examined all nine jade pieces, feeling both unwilling and apprehensive.

These jade pieces were the opportunity it had guarded for many years, but now they have been easily taken away by someone.

However, to its surprise, Lin Yu did not keep it for himself. Instead, after looking at it, he tossed the jade back to it and said indifferently, "Take it."

The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was taken aback, then overjoyed. It quickly used its divine sense to investigate, and after confirming that it was indeed the right person, its golden scales trembled slightly with excitement. It had thought it had missed its chance today, but it hadn't expected the other party to be so generous!

Lin Yu paid no attention to its reaction, but simply pondered quietly. These demon clan secret techniques were of little use to him, but the ideas that the Demon Emperor had used to deduce bloodlines and create the Dao in his early years had greatly inspired him.

A moment later, his gaze shifted to another wooden box on the stone table.

The wooden box was rustic, its surface engraved with coiled dragon patterns, faintly exuding a sense of vitality. Lin Yu reached out and brushed it, and the lid opened silently, revealing a heart-shaped seed lying quietly inside.

It was dull and yellowish-brown in color, lacking any divine radiance, yet it exuded a powerful vitality.

"This is..." His eyes flickered slightly as he sensed a familiar aura, originating from the ancient peach tree in the Jade Pool Holy Land.

The elixir of immortality—the seeds of the peach tree!
Before the Demon Emperor attained enlightenment, he had a great opportunity. He unexpectedly obtained the Immortal Peach, which he consumed. Now, only the peach pit remains in the world.

The true elixir of immortality, the Peaches of Immortality, is hidden deep within the forbidden zone of the Divine Ruins, a place almost no one can enter.

Only when Lin Yu levels up a few more times and can walk his dog in the forbidden zone like the Great Emperor Wushi can he enter the Divine Ruins to search for this Peaches of Immortality.

Lin Yu didn't have much desire for the peach pit, after all, he was someone who possessed several immortal herbs.

But since we've come across this by chance, there's no harm in accepting it. If we plant it in the Pure Land of the Gods and irrigate it with a celestial spring, it might just recreate some of its miraculous effects.

"The peach tree in Yaochi back then was nothing more than a seed planted from the pit of a divine medicine." He muttered to himself. Although it was far inferior to a true immortal medicine, it had still produced spiritual peaches that could extend one's life by a thousand years.

The immortal opportunities here are truly astonishing. The Heavenly Book and Peach Pit left behind by the Demon Emperor before he attained enlightenment are treasures that countless cultivators dream of. To obtain such an opportunity is already an immense blessing.

"This is the seed of the true Immortal Peach Divine Medicine. Even though the Demon Emperor consumed the flesh juice and essence, the kernel left behind is extraordinary."

The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was so anxious that it scratched its ears and cheeks, its golden scales rustling. It had been guarding this place for hundreds of years, yet it was unaware that such a treasure was hidden in the cave.

Seeing that Lin Yu was about to put the peach pit away, the nine tails unconsciously intertwined and twisted together.

"Hmm, what good luck! There is such an ancient cave in this great lake, containing unparalleled treasures."

The radiant light from the cave soared into the sky, a phenomenon that startled many powerful creatures in the vicinity. The first to arrive were a group of cultivators who were undergoing trials there.
Lin Yu looked up and saw twelve figures breaking through the air, six men and six women, all with extraordinary bearing.

The leading man was adorned with a divine halo, and the woman's face was veiled with a light gauze. Both of them were at the Saint realm, and the other ten had also reached the peak of the Half-Saint realm.

They landed in front of the cave, their eyes fixed intently on the interior, and stepped inside.

"I don't want to say anything more. You should leave immediately, and I won't make things difficult for you."

One of the young women parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and cold as frost.

The other man, clearly also a central figure, stood with his hands behind his back, his body radiating divine light: "Put down what you have gained, and you may leave safely."

They had just arrived and entered the immortal abode when they uttered these words.

"Ok?"

Lin Yu stood still, slowly raised his eyes, and glanced at the group of men and women.

"It's him! The ruthless one from the Burial Emperor Star!" someone in the group suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh my god, it's him! How did we manage to run into him!"

"To die, to die!"

In an instant, the twelve people's expressions changed drastically. Their pupils shrank, and they all took a big step back, as if they had been frightened.

"We were unaware of your presence and have offended you!" The two young men and women at the head of the group exchanged a glance, and the woman hurriedly bowed, her voice trembling slightly.

The man's forehead was beaded with cold sweat: "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, fellow Daoist. I'll leave now!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two young men and women, along with their companions, transformed into streaks of light and vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yu withdrew his gaze and did not pursue.

He has never liked wanton killing, so since the other party wisely retreated, there was no need to exterminate them.

"How about becoming my squire?" Lin Yu glanced at Crocodile Dragon.

The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon glanced at Lin Yu's fist, then at the Demon Emperor's Book in its hand, and nodded fiercely.

Lin Yu chuckled to himself. After obtaining the Demon Emperor's secret technique, the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon would definitely grow rapidly and become a generation of Holy Beast King, or even a Great Holy Beast.

Moreover, it has a very striking appearance, and with further mastery of the Dragon Transformation Technique, it might very well become the second Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor is a silver dragon, and this crocodile dragon should undoubtedly become a golden dragon after it transforms into a dragon. In the future, let it breed more and give birth to a family of golden dragons. It would be quite impressive to take it out.

Once the thought was made up, Lin Yu glanced at the Crocodile Dragon. The responsibility of strengthening the dragon race would fall to it in the future. He just didn't know where to find a mother dragon.

“I have a feeling you’re thinking about something bad,” the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon said.

"No," Lin Yu denied, then sat on the crocodile dragon's back and left the place.

The two traveled onward, traversing vast mountain ranges and crossing one forbidden zone after another that ordinary people would consider unsafe. In the blink of an eye, another six months had passed.

Over the past six months, Lin Yu's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and breaking through to another realm is no problem. On this day, Lin Yu suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, and said calmly, "It's time."

He took a step forward, his figure transforming into a stream of light, instantly leaving the ancient star and arriving in the vast starry sky. Before him lay a dazzling galaxy, with billions of stars twinkling. He stood in mid-air, his body radiating Daoist energy, his aura rising steadily.

Then, Lin Yu faced his minor realm tribulation.

"break!"

With a single word uttered, the world changed drastically.

In an instant, endless lightning surged from the void, engulfing the entire star field.

Purple lightning streaked across the sky, and the chaotic sea of ​​thunder surged. Ancient calamity light transformed into celestial forms such as true dragons, divine phoenixes, and qilin, roaring as they pounced down.

This was an earth-shattering calamity. Various ancient lightning bolts appeared one after another. In the vast sea of ​​lightning, each bolt was powerful enough to shatter stars, but at this moment it poured down like a torrential rain, completely engulfing Lin Yu.

The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon watched from afar, its golden scales trembling under the thunder's might. It had never seen such a terrifying tribulation, as if the entire universe was punishing the one undergoing it.

After an unknown amount of time, the sea of ​​lightning gradually subsided, and Lin Yu's figure reappeared. He was surrounded by lingering lightning, and his aura had risen to the seventh level of the Saint Realm.

"Is it over?" Just as the Crocodile Dragon was about to approach, it saw Lin Yu still sitting cross-legged in the void, gazing at the sky, with the illusory stars in his eyes.

"boom!"

The sky shattered once more! A lightning tribulation ten times more violent than before descended, and Lin Yu actually broke through several minor realms in succession.

The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was completely stunned. It had never imagined that anyone could overcome three tribulations in a row, let alone that Lin Yu would overcome the tribulation through battle and forcefully break through the sea of ​​lightning.

The starry sky trembled, and the Great Dao cried out in anguish.

As the last bolt of lightning dissipated, Lin Yu stood alone in the starry sky, his black hair dancing with lightning, officially stepping into the ninth level of the Saint realm!

He was only one step away from becoming a Saint King.

Suddenly, a voice came: "Good, good, good, you are indeed a genius. You have broken through to the ninth level of the Saint Realm so quickly. If you were to break through to the Saint King level, what would happen?"

"Who goes there, sneaking around like that!" the Nine-Tailed Crocodile roared, its golden scales clanging as its pair of golden vertical pupils pierced the void.

"Hmph, we, the enforcers of the ancient road, have no need for your evaluation."

Just then, it sounded as if someone was beating a heavenly drum in the distance, extremely muffled. Two people flew towards this direction and quickly entered this starry sky.

"Lin Yu from the Burial Emperor Star, you have committed a crime. We, the Ancient Road Enforcers, will thoroughly investigate you to see what kind of person you really are!"

A powerful figure dressed in a Great Luo Silver Essence Battle Armor approached and spoke loudly.

"That's right, if you know what's good for you, come with us!"

The other person was dressed in the same way. The Great Luo Silver Essence shimmered with silvery-white light, and his whole body was shiny and dazzling. Only the most powerful enforcers could wear such battle armor.

Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was shocked. Although it was an ancient beast from the tenth level, it knew of the existence of the enforcers. They represented an attitude of the ancient road. Could it be that someone was going to take drastic measures against its new boss?

Lin Yu frowned, glanced at the two men, and said coldly, "Do you two want to die?"

Did I kill too few? Should I have descended directly into the depths of the ancient road and exterminated this human race?
"How dare you! Are you defying the rules of the ancient road?" an enforcer shouted, his expression stern.

"Speak up. You two pieces of trash don't dare to provoke me. Call out the person behind you, or I guarantee you won't live three breaths."

Lin Yu was too lazy to talk to the two of them. His cold glint swept across them like a knife, and the chill in his eyes froze the starry sky.

The two law enforcement officers felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, trembling uncontrollably. They then realized that the person in front of them was unfathomable and beyond their reach.

"Pah, pah, pah——"

In the distance, a flash of light appeared in the void, followed by the crisp sound of clapping. A figure clad in golden armor walked towards the void, stepping on starlight.

"What a sharp and ambitious young man." The newcomer had his hair tied up with a purple-gold crown, his face was handsome, but his eyes held a chilling glint.
"Unfortunately, in today's world, geniuses like you often don't live long."

He naturally exuded the aura of a Great Sage, and ancient runes flowed on his golden armor: "Remember, the one who killed you is Liu Feng of the Liu family. I'll let you die knowing why."

The Liu family is powerful and deeply rooted, and is one of the strongest families on the ancient path of the human race. This person is less than three hundred years old and has advanced to the level of Great Sage, which can be described as genius.

"And there's another old guy, hiding in the shadows counting stars?" Lin Yu's eyes flashed like lightning, piercing through a certain part of the void.

"Huh?" The void cracked open, and an old Taoist priest with gray hair emerged. He wore a purple-trimmed Bagua robe, his face was cold and stern, giving off a rigid feeling, and his leaden gray eyes revealed surprise:

"You actually managed to find me?"

"Alien race?" Lin Yu frowned slightly. "So the ancient path of the human race has indeed degenerated to the point of colluding with alien races? It seems that a complete purge is inevitable."

"Young man, you're a dying man, why are you still worrying about this?"

The gray-haired old man laughed heartily, unleashing a terrifying aura that was clearly revealed as he attacked Lin Yu. These were actually two Great Saints!

"They really think highly of us, with two Great Sages attacking." The dragon crocodile grinned, trying to laugh, but it looked more like a grimace.

"To send you on your way, we naturally need to make thorough preparations," said Liu Mingde, the law enforcement officer, standing with his hands behind his back and sneering.

He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Indeed, a single Great Sage is enough to sweep across the star field, and now that the two powerful beings have joined forces, they believe that victory is a sure thing.
