210: Scorpion Island

Lin Feng's Divine Sense sank into his Inner Universe.

Here was an endless golden desert, the scorching air distorting vision, with nothing but monotonous sand dunes.

In the center of this dead and silent land, a figure stood out.

Ice Phoenix's face was ashen, her once luxurious palace dress was covered in dust, and in her proud Phoenix eyes, there was only endless fatigue and unyielding anger.

A spiritual power ring, shimmering with runes, tightly bound her Dantian Qi Sea, completely sealing off the vast demon power within her.

Another, more ancient demon-binding ring, was locked around her neck, preventing her from manifesting her true Ice Phoenix form.

The strength of Yao Beasts was rooted in their formidable Physical Bodies.

Transformed into human form, and having lost all her power, she was no different from a Mortal woman with a slightly better Physique.

Just then, Lin Feng's indifferent voice, like a Heavenly Dao decree, echoed across the entire desert world.

"Fellow Daoist Ice Phoenix, how does it taste?"

"If you can't hold on, then beg for mercy. Seeing how you've cultivated for thousands of years with difficulty, I might take pity and accept you as my mount, sparing you the suffering of this desolate land."

Ice Phoenix suddenly raised her head, her tired eyes instantly igniting with blazing fury.

She gritted her silver teeth, using all her strength to angrily rebuke the empty sky.

"Shameless scoundrel! You wish!"

"This princess would rather die and have her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering than bow to a despicable wretch like you!"

"If you have the guts, then kill this princess! What is this bit of torture!"

Listening to her weak but still arrogant curses, Lin Feng merely smiled, not getting angry.

This Ice Phoenix's proud bones needed time to be slowly ground down.

Once he made a Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, he would have plenty of methods to make her understand what true despair was.

With his mind withdrawn from the Inner Universe, Lin Feng's consciousness returned to his Physical Body.

As he continuously comprehended the Laws of the Inner Universe, the barrier to the Soul Transformation Stage had become as thin as a cicada's wing in his eyes, easily broken.

Undergoing Tribulation was already a certainty.

However, he was not in a hurry.

The Soul Transformation Heavenly Tribulation was no small matter, and the time required for secluded cultivation would likely not be short.

Before that, some matters had to be properly arranged.

Another few days of quiet cultivation passed.

Lin Feng's state of mind became increasingly clear and serene during his breathing exercises, his Dao Heart smooth and round, ready to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation at any time.

He slowly opened his eyes and, after a quick calculation, realized it was the day Old Devil Han and Profound Bone were attacking Scorpion Island.

He formed a hand seal, and a profound magic seal condensed before him.

Tens of thousands of miles away, the Divine Sense imprint within Profound Bone's body was instantly activated.

The air in front of Lin Feng rippled like water, and a silent, perfectly clear image slowly unfolded.

In the image, waves crashed against black reefs, and the atmosphere was grim.

Sun Sect Leader of Yinsha Sect, along with his Disciples, was confronting Wu Chou, the person in charge of Scorpion Island.

At the very back of the group, two figures seemed out of place.

One of them, wearing a straw hat and with a tense posture, was Han Li.

The other, shrouded in a black robe and exuding a cold aura, was Profound Bone, playing the role of a Guest Elder.

Both had their own ulterior motives, standing in the crowd as background, seemingly casual, but in reality, both were observing the situation.

In the image, Sun Sect Leader seemed to have fallen out with Wu Chou.

He roared, unleashed his Magic Treasure, and transformed into a streak of light, charging directly at Wu Chou.

Both were Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivators; for a time, Magic Treasures glowed, spiritual power surged, and they fought to a stalemate.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators below also instantly engaged in battle.

Profound Bone and Han Li exchanged glances, tacitly rushing into the fray, specifically targeting the Foundation Establishment Stage small fries, their Moves grand and sweeping, yet skillfully avoiding the core of the battle, waiting for an opportunity while fishing in troubled waters.

Finally, Sun Sect Leader's reckless, mad dog fighting style gained the upper hand.

Wu Chou, caught off guard, was struck by a Magic Treasure, spat out blood, and fell from mid-air onto the reefs by the shore, his aura weak.

Just as Sun Ergou was about to deliver a killing blow and settle this grudge, an unexpected change occurred.

Wu Chou's body suddenly stiffened, then twisted at a strange angle, and a terrifying, extremely sinister aura, far exceeding the Core Formation Stage, erupted from within him!

Old Ancestor Xuanyin's Incarnation had arrived.

"Hehehe... My good Disciple, my good-for-nothing grandson, you dare to touch him?"

Xuanyin, possessing Wu Chou's body, let out a grating laugh.

He didn't even look at the heavily injured Sun Sect Leader, but instead waved his hand, and two pitch-black Xuanyin Devil Puppets, exuding a strong Corpse Qi, appeared out of thin air, transforming into two black lines that shot towards Profound Bone and Han Li, who were "valiantly fighting the enemy."

After doing all this, he then turned with interest to the pale-faced Sun Sect Leader.

"Betraying your sect and still daring to come back to die, as your master, I shall personally clean up the sect today!"

Although Xuanyin's Incarnation only possessed a portion of his true power, it was still an overwhelming force against a Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator.

In just two or three Moves, Sun Ergou's Dantian was pierced by Xuanyin Devilish Qi, and he screamed as he fell to the ground, his life force extinguished.

At the same time, from Profound Bone's perspective.

Facing the rapidly approaching Xuanyin Devil Puppet, he merely snorted disdainfully, easily dodged it, and at the same time, transmitted something to Han Li, who was not far away.

In the image, a hint of struggle flashed in Han Li's eyes, but he ultimately hardened his heart.

He slapped his Storage Pouch, and a spider, entirely blood-white with peculiar patterns on its back, appeared out of thin air—it was the White Jade Spider!

As soon as the White Jade Spider appeared, it opened its mouth and spewed out a patch of incredibly sticky white spider silk, like a net cast from the heavens, firmly trapping the other Xuanyin Devil Puppet within it, no matter how much it struggled, it could not break free.

"Hmm?"

Xuanyin, who was slaughtering the remnants of the Yinsha Sect, suddenly turned his head, staring intently at the Blood Jade Spider, his eyes bursting with endless greed and ecstasy.

"Blood Jade Spider! It's actually a Blood Jade Spider!"

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's lips.

This matter was settled.

He waved his hand, dispersing the image before him; there was no need to watch the subsequent events.

Profound Bone would ensure Han Li's "difficult" escape, and Old Ancestor Xuanyin, because of the Blood Jade Spider, would firmly remember Han Li's name on his list.

Everything was under control.

Lin Feng stood up, and with a thought, a Divine Thought crossed space, directly entering the Star Palace's inner hall, into the ear of a Core Formation Late Stage Elder who was meditating with closed eyes.

"Elder Luo, by the name of the Star Palace Grand Elder, summon Sect Leader Purple Spirit of Myriad Sound Sect and Executive Ling to Floating Immortal Island immediately for an audience."

The Elder's body trembled, and seeing that it was the Grand Elder's command, he dared not delay in the slightest, immediately rising to accept the order and depart.

Lin Feng then slowly walked to the white jade stone table in the center of the plaza and leisurely sat down.

Purple Spirit and Ling Yuling, the twin prides of the Chaotic Star Sea, one had to manage the entire Myriad Sound Sect's commercial Empire, and the other had to handle complex affairs in the Star Palace; their responsibilities were great, and they rarely had leisure time.

His current secluded cultivation for Breakthrough, he wondered how long it would take.

Before that, it was time to pave the way for their future.

His mind communicated with his flora Incarnation, far away in Falling Cloud Sect.

On Great Yan Divine Lord's side, the second Nascent Soul Late Stage Puppet had also been refined.

Perfect, one for each of them.

And coupled with the Grandmist Purple Qi he had accumulated, he would elevate their cultivation levels.

Only then would it be foolproof.
