The God of Heavens

Chapter 423 The Divine Race is the Greatest Fate to Immortality!

"It's said that independent cultivators overseas are always very bold. And they're absolutely right!"

Lin Yu smiled slightly.

Between heaven and earth, besides the ten sects of immortals, the seven lineages of demons, the five sects of monsters, and the underground demon race, there are also many independent sects of cultivators.

These sects are not part of the secular martial arts world, but rather places where one truly cultivates immortality and refines the Dao.

Overseas resources are abundant, and many independent cultivators have the opportunity to enter supernatural realms. They often occupy islands and become kings, attacking each other, and each one is fierce and ruthless.

Ordinary rogue cultivators are not bound by rules and laws; they act entirely according to their own will, regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, immortal or demonic.

Seeing the potential for profit, they harbor murderous intent, and after seizing the treasure, they flee far away and disappear without a trace.

At this moment, the divine power of the Breaking Waves had broken down in negotiations with the five people from Black Wind Island, and they were about to fight when Lin Yu's figure flickered, and in the boy's surprised eyes, he transformed into a blood-red rainbow and flew out.

"who."

"Someone actually stepped forward?"

"You ignorant brat, you want to act like a chivalrous knight-errant? You're asking for death!"

When the five pirates saw Lin Yu appear, they were first startled, and then burst into laughter.

So what if there's an extra supernatural realm? Five against two, the advantage is in my hands!
"Fellow Daoist, be careful. These five are subordinates of the Black Wind Island Master and are skilled in combined attacks. Do not provoke them."

"The divine offering of the Broken Waves," an old Taoist priest reminded him, fearing that Lin Yu, being a young man, might be too impetuous and go up to offer it.

"Ah!"

Lin Yu smiled disdainfully, his gaze suddenly turning cold, and his Myriad Transformations True Qi roared and crashed down like a giant mountain!

Several shrill screams suddenly rang out, and then a large hand formed of magical power scooped them all out of the sea.

With a sudden flap of his blood-red divine wings, he swiftly carried the five people away before anyone could react!
Only inside the cabin, a dumbfounded boy could hear a lingering echo:
"Kid, hurry home. Don't be so irresponsible next time. If you need anything in the future, you can ask someone to go to the Blood Shadow Demon Sect to find me..."

……

Amidst the wind and rain, a pure land was created by someone using magic.

Lin Yu tossed the five pirates down like tumbling gourds.

"Spare us! My lord, spare us! My five brothers and I are willing to submit to you and serve you as you command!"

These five were all rogue cultivators who had just entered the realm of supernatural powers. Relying on their mutual understanding and tacit cooperation, they were able to fight even against experts at the second level of supernatural powers.

Based on intelligence from Black Wind Island, they tracked them down, intending to take advantage of the storm to storm the treasure ship, but Lin Yu moved even faster.

Several men knelt and begged for mercy, but their eyes gleamed with malice as they plotted how to retaliate.

"Ah, there's no need for you all to speak."

Lin Yu sneered, "I'll come and see for myself."

These overseas rogue cultivators are used to being lawless, and they are greedy and ruthless when they see treasures.

If we spend too much time interrogating them, they might lead us astray!

With a slight thought, Lin Yu sent out five Primordial Insects.

Soon, as the screams subsided, his true energy increased by about fifty units of Xuanhuang Lie Ma power.

These five individuals possessed shallow cultivation levels, each with the strength of a mere ninety-odd Xuanhuang steeds, and their supernatural abilities were also of commonplace quality.

After being condensed and transformed by the true qi of myriad transformations, less than one-tenth remains, which can only be considered better than nothing.

However, Lin Yu gleaned a crucial piece of information from their memories.

"The three island masters of Yuanlong Island, Black Wind Island, and Death Island, all among the forty most notorious thieves overseas, are gathered on Yuanlong Island to plot a major event."

"These five people work for the Black Wind Bandit, who is ranked thirty-eighth, and that's how they learned about this."

There are many independent cultivators overseas, but some experts have ranked them and listed forty of the most vicious and wicked individuals, which together form the title of the Forty Great Thieves.

These three people are all ranked low, mostly at the Yuan Gang realm, with neither high nor low strength.

However, Lin Yu knew that even the lowest-ranked member of the Forty Thieves was incredibly wealthy.

Behind them stood the Gods—a powerful race that had brought several great calamities to the Xuanhuang Great World.

Between heaven and earth, no race is richer than the gods.

The Forty Thieves were, in fact, many pawns planted by the gods in this world.

After finishing with the three, Lin Yu turned his palm and activated a thick black mist.

The black mist condensed upon falling into the sea, transforming into a small, entirely black boat that silently disappeared into the wind and rain.

This boat is called the "Black Wind Boat." It is a special magical artifact. Although it is not good at attacking, it is a useful tool for hiding and resting at sea.

Originally crafted by the Black Wind Island Lord using collected and refined wind energy, it blends seamlessly with wind and rain, leaving no trace and proving invincible in plundering and robbery.

Lin Yu landed steadily on the Black Wind Ship. The ship's hull, formed by the condensed gale, was as solid as a rock yet as light as driftwood, just like a real multi-story ship.

He flew along the pirates' memories, turning east and west for tens of thousands of miles.

As dusk fell, stars rose, their light spilling across the sea, creating a shimmering, tranquil, and dazzling scene.

Lin Yu activated his angel wings and flew for three more days, finally arriving near a large island.

Having broken through the supernatural realm and gained magical power, Lin Yu could now use all sorts of supernatural abilities.

Even if it's not the original, it can be simulated with magic power; one method illuminates all methods.

A solitary island in the sea came into view.

The island is covered with withered trees, deep caves, crashing waves, and a dark, menacing aura.

The three notorious thieves, known as the Forty Thieves, are hiding here.

"They do have some skills." Lin Yu opened his Lord's Eye, scanned the entire island, and immediately understood:
"The illusion array is integrated with the natural cave, and its aura is concealed by magical artifacts. Without reaching the Celestial Realm, one cannot see through its true nature."

He took out a talisman and crushed it casually.

A moment later, a black wind shot into the sky from the island.

"Didn't I order the five of you to rob the Wavebreaker? What brings you here? Did you succeed...?"

A man in black appeared on the island. Before he could finish speaking, he caught sight of Lin Yu, and his expression changed drastically: "Who are you? Why do you have the talismans of my five men? Where are they?"

"So much nonsense!"

Lin Yu raised his hand and grabbed, and a blood-red rainbow rose into the sky, causing the air within a radius of dozens of miles to suddenly freeze!

Rumble!
The Spear of Hades has reappeared in the world, traversing heaven and earth like the descent of death, like the roar of a demon. Wherever it passes, the void shatters!

"Ah, the Black Wind Sweeps Across the Land, Seven Killing Forces!"

In the critical moment, the Black Wind Island Master desperately activated his inner energy, transforming it into rolling black winds that formed a defensive array.

However, all of this was in vain.

Chi!

The spear tore through the great formation in an instant, and in almost a fraction of a second, it had already reached the Black Wind Island Master!

puff!

The Black Wind Island Lord's protective aura and magical robes crumbled like paper as the Netherworld God's Spear pierced his chest, blood gushing forth. This Yuan Gang Realm cultivator was instantly reduced to a cold corpse.

"Damn it!"

"Lord of Black Wind Island!"

Two exclamations rang out almost at the same time.

No one expected that the Black Wind Island Lord, ranked thirty-eighth, would be killed instantly in the first encounter!

This person's cultivation had reached the third level of supernatural powers, and his magical power was as high as 3,500 Xuanhuang Fierce Horses. He was considered a good person among the overseas rogue cultivators, but he was unexpectedly so vulnerable in front of Lin Yu.

It is evident that although Lin Yu is one realm lower than him, the supernatural powers he cultivates are profound and the quality of his magical power far surpasses that of such a rogue cultivator.

"Attack together! Don't give him a chance to pick them off one by one!"

The Lord of Death Island and the Lord of Yuanlong Island made a sudden appearance.

"The Great Wilderness True Dragon Path!"

One of them was clad in dragon-scale armor, exuding a powerful dragon aura, as if an ancient dragon had awakened, with an imposing and overwhelming presence.

Another middle-aged man in black was manipulating a furnace the size of a house, made of some kind of divine metal, swirling with qi, and the swirling air currents brought up a fierce wind.

The alchemy furnace glowed faintly, and the medicinal energy and magical power surged like a thousand horses galloping, shaking the four directions.

"Heavenly Gang Deadly Hand!"

Before he finished speaking, his protective aura suddenly condensed into a milky-white, three-fingered monster hand. The aura between his fingers twisted and turned into three runes: "Absolute," "Broken," and "Crippled," which were extremely sinister.

Crackling!

The surrounding void was instantly sealed off by demonic energy.

Two deafening roars resounded as the Xuanlong and Jueming Heavenly Gates opened wide, their surging power converging.

The two men's heads were connected by a surge of qi, which transformed into the momentum of ten thousand galloping horses, and the sound of ghosts wailing and gods howling filled the sea.

When an ordinary cultivator first enters the realm of supernatural powers, their magical strength is only equivalent to the strength of eighty to two hundred horses.

Those who cultivate true qi are only between three hundred and seven hundred horses;
By condensing one's inner energy, one can achieve the strength of one to three thousand horses.

As for experts in the Yin-Yang Realm, their magical power starts at least at five thousand horses.

At this moment, the two bandits joined forces and formed an array, their magical powers intertwined, their might exceeding that of ten thousand horses. With the assistance of top-grade treasures, they were already capable of fighting against experts at the Celestial Realm. The ferocious power of the forty bandits was fully displayed!

"Die!"

"I'll lend you your head!"

Yuanlong and Jueming roared in unison, and their Taoist energy surged like a tidal wave, crashing down on Lin Yu!
"very good!"

Lin Yu was not surprised but delighted. He laughed loudly and his thoughts raced, unleashing the secret technique of the character "皆".

A blood-red celestial river surged forth!
Lin Yu's magical power surged dramatically, increasing tenfold in an instant.
The power of a full thirty thousand Xuanhuang fierce horses!

Within the Milky Way, shimmering blood spirits and howling blood beasts were everywhere. In a surge, a massive torrent carrying overwhelming blood energy rushed straight toward the two, shaking the very universe.

They displayed an unparalleled ferocity, as if they wanted to turn the two island lords into mincemeat!

"what!"

Yuanlong and Jueming were filled with shock and anger, knowing full well the extreme danger of this situation. They hurriedly activated the treasures beside them—a black armor gleamed brightly, and a pill furnace burst into flames. In an instant, thunder roared! The earth shook! Mountains collapsed and the sea sank!
The entire strait was blown to pieces; it was truly earth-shattering.

Rumble!
A blood-red river stretched across the heavens and earth, like all living things breaking free from their shackles and devouring life, or like a blood-red hell hanging upside down in the sky, staining the void crimson wherever it passed.

In an instant, whether it was the Great Wilderness True Dragon Dao unleashed by the Lord of Yuanlong Island or the Heavenly Gang Deadly Hand of the Lord of Jueming Island, the moment they touched the blood-red river, they were as vulnerable as ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, completely melting away.

Lin Yu's Myriad Transformations True Qi continued its momentum, transforming into countless Primordial Insects that pierced through the two men's magical defenses and burrowed into their pores!
"Ah! What is this...?"

"No, spare me..."

The two let out mournful howls, struggling to survive to no avail. They were devoured by the Primordial Worm and perished in the sea and sky.

Immediately, the two corpses, along with their treasures, were swept away by a burst of magical power from Lin Yu and fell into his hands.

Thus, the three notorious pirates who roamed the seas were all captured and died tragically.

Each of the forty thieves possessed a top-grade treasure for protection; their combined power was even enough to defeat celestial beings.

However, Lin Yu only needed to make a slight move to exceed their limits.

Even at the same level, different levels of supernatural powers and different qualities of magical power result in vastly different combat strengths.

Lin Yu raised his hand and grabbed the magical armor, which swayed left and right like a dragon, but it couldn't break free no matter how hard it tried.

This is an exquisite treasure.

Even without its master, it still possesses immense power.

With a thought, Lin Yu sent a wisp of primordial energy into the array core of the treasure, erasing the mark of the Yuanlong Island Master. After that, the treasure armor stopped struggling and remained motionless, having been refined by Lin Yu.

Even its original owner was destroyed by Lin Yu. How could a piece of armor defy the heavens?

"This armor should be the Great Wilderness Dragon Armor, a top-grade treasure crafted by the Primordial Heavenly Dragon using the secret methods of the Dragon Clan, containing the power of five thousand galloping horses."

Ordinary cultivators only need to refine this armor with a drop of blood; once donned, they will instantly be comparable to experts at the fourth level of the Yin-Yang Realm of Divine Power.

Lin Yu had thoroughly explored the "All Worlds" and knew all the treasures within it like the back of his hand. He recognized the origin of this armor at a glance.

Then, he picked up the black banner left behind by the Black Wind Island Master and examined it.

The moment I acquired this treasure, I felt a surge of immense magical power. Within the banner, it seemed as if countless demons, monsters, and other creatures were roaring and laughing, as if with a single wave, countless ferocious souls would rush out and devour me completely.

"Such thick black smoke! Another top-grade treasure!"

Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh. This Heavenly Demon Soul-Seizing Banner uses the souls of living beings as its power source. The more souls of living beings it has, the greater its destructive power.

"Good heavens, could this be the legendary Emperor's Banner? So that's how it is... It's so purple it's almost black."

Finally, his gaze fell upon the alchemy furnace of the Lord of Doom Island.

A top-grade treasure-level alchemy furnace, the Five Prisons King Cauldron!

Lin Yu's eyes flashed like lightning, and in an instant he saw through the complex array structure inside the furnace. There were actually nine hundred and ninety-nine large arrays intertwined and operating, which was mysterious and unbelievable.

This furnace is just one step away from becoming a Dao artifact!
The Five Prisons King Cauldron is said to be a top-grade alchemy furnace treasure of the Five Prisons Heavenly Demon King eight hundred years ago, which may have become a Dao artifact. However, after the Five Prisons Heavenly Demon King was killed, his top-grade alchemy furnace disappeared and fell into the hands of the Lord of Death Island.

In the world of cultivation, what kind of magical treasure is the most precious? Undoubtedly, it is the alchemy furnace!

Because it can be used to refine elixirs!

Taoist practitioners live by consuming elixirs.

Such immense strength and stamina require the consumption of highly refined elixirs to replenish such vast amounts of energy and nutrients.

Elixirs are the sustenance for cultivation.

"Those who consume elixirs become plump and ageless," which is exactly the principle.

A top-grade alchemy furnace can not only continuously refine elixirs, but also temper flying swords, forge the physical body, and many Taoist techniques can only be quickly mastered by entering the furnace.

Its value far surpasses that of ordinary weapons of war.

"Three top-grade treasures right at the door. The Divine Race truly lives up to their reputation as the wealthiest people in the world..."
