133: Chapter 133 Immortal Transformation Pool
Upper Realm, Outer Heaven of the Nine Heavens, three million miles of the Floating Cloud Sea.
Ever since the battle at the Heaven Gate Ruins, the entire border region of the Outer Heaven of the Nine Heavens has fallen into a deathly silence.
There was no resistance from the Upper Realm army, nor was there any rejection from the Heavenly Dao Laws.
Because all the Upper Realm sentries along the way who sensed this "Lower Realm Smuggling Army" were turned to dust under the pressure of Lin Que's inner heaven and earth, which covered a radius of fifty thousand miles, before they even had time to crush their message Jade Slips.
"Rumble..."
Three hundred mysterious black warships, surrounded by a hundred thousand heavy-armored Dragon Cavalry, crushed the ten-thousand-year-old floating clouds of the Upper Realm, advancing forward at a steady pace.
After switching to Upper Realm Immortal Stones as the power core, although the fleet's speed skyrocketed, Lin Que did not order a full-speed forced march.
On the flagship, atop the nine dragon throne.
Lin Que sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed.
He paid no attention to the scenery outside, instead immersing his entire mind in his recently skyrocketed cultivation.
From continuous Realm-crossing, devouring the Immortal Realm's leg, and draining the Demon God Blood Pool, to enduring the Heavenly Dao baptism, although his Realm was stable at the Middle Spirit Transformation stage, this power was too immense—so immense that if not properly refined, it could easily lead to a superficial Foundation.
"Inhale... Exhale..."
Every breath Lin Que took triggered a tide of Immortal Qi for thousands of miles around.
The Blood Scripture within him was operating at an extremely mysterious and slow rhythm. Under the guidance of the Cultivation Technique, his twenty-million-jin Great Accomplishment Demon God Body no longer violently leaked blood energy as before, but instead drew all its power, strand by strand, deep into the marrow of his bones.
"Simply piling up power is, in the end, an inferior path."
Lin Que murmured to himself in his Sea of Consciousness. He looked at his inner heaven and earth, which spanned a radius of fifty thousand miles.
The world tree sapling had already grown into a towering tree, with four Law leaves (Space, Vitality, Time, and Thick Earth) shining in harmony.
But Lin Que keenly perceived that this inner heaven and earth was still missing a core element—the "Water of Creation" that could perfectly fuse these four Laws.
Without water, the World Tree could not continue evolving toward a true Major Thousand Worlds, and his Realm would be unable to Breakthrough to the Late Stage Spirit Transformation.
"Master, the alert range of the Immortal Transformation Pool is just ahead!"
The respectful voice of the Chen Family Old Ancestor came from the side, interrupting Lin Que's contemplation.
Lin Que slowly opened his eyes. A gentle luster of returning to simplicity flashed in his heterochromatic pupils, but deep within that luster lay a depth that would make even heaven and earth tremble.
He stood up and walked to the bow. At the end of his vision, it was no longer a continuous sea of clouds, but a massive white jade island suspended above the Nine Heavens!
In the very center of the island was embedded a vast inland sea spanning a radius of a hundred thousand miles!
The seawater was an extremely pure silver-white, emitting an intoxicating, otherworldly fragrance of the Immortal Dao.
This was the Upper Realm's strategic stronghold, the convergence point of twelve top-grade immortal veins—the Immortal Transformation Pool!
"Such rich, liquid Immortal Qi of creation..."
Standing beside Lin Que, Su Qingyu took just one breath of the water vapor drifting in the wind and felt the Nascent Soul within her let out an extremely eager cry of joy.
And around the Immortal Transformation Pool, a full three hundred thousand heavily armored Upper Realm elites were stationed.
Above the island, a Golden Immortal Palace engraved with countless complex Formation runes was suspended.
"Who goes there?! This is the Upper Realm's sacred ground of immortal transformation. Trespassers will be executed without mercy!!"
Accompanied by a roar like a great bronze bell, three elders wearing purple-gold Daoist robes and stepping on Immortal Swords flew out from the immortal palace, hovering a hundred miles in front of the fleet.
The Aura emanating from these three was strikingly that of Early Stage Void Returning Realm True Immortals!
"Lower Realm ants? No! You have the marks of Heavenly Dao blessings on you... Who are you, to dare lead an army so close to the Immortal Transformation Pool?!"
The leading purple-robed True Immortal clearly saw the attire of Lin Que and the others, and his eyelids twitched violently, especially upon seeing the hundred thousand mounts with ancient Bloodlines. When did the Upper Realm produce such an unidentified Dragon Cavalry with such monstrous Evil Qi?
"Who I am is not important."
Lin Que looked at that hundred-thousand-mile-wide silver ocean, the smile on the corners of his mouth growing wider.
He could feel that the World Tree in his inner heaven and earth was emitting an extreme sense of hunger, like a starving wolf that hadn't eaten in three days seeing a piece of fat meat!
"What's important is that I've taken a liking to this bathhouse."
Lin Que unfurled his folding fan and pointed it at the three True Immortals:
"I'll give you three breaths of time to get your people off this island. Otherwise, today, both the people and the island will sink right here."
"Presumptuous!!!"
The three purple-robed True Immortals were furious!
They had guarded the Immortal Transformation Pool for thousands of years; even when an Upper Realm Immortal King arrived, they had to be treated with respect. Today, they were being insulted to their faces by a kid who seemingly only had a Middle Spirit Transformation stage cultivation?!
"No matter what kind of rebel you are, to target the Immortal Transformation Pool is to make an enemy of the entire Immortal Realm!"
The leading True Immortal wore a sinister smile and suddenly formed a hand seal, striking a blinding immortal technique directly into the silver ocean below!
"Activate the Formation!
The Nine-Cycle Immortal-Melting Bone-Dissolving Grand Formation!!"
Rumble—!!!
The originally calm hundred-thousand-mile Immortal Transformation Pool suddenly began to boil violently like a pot of hot oil!
Endless silver immortal water soared into the sky, transforming into nine silver water dragons ten thousand feet thick. Carrying a terrifying Law of "washing away mortality and dissolving all things," they crossed the Void Realm and lunged fiercely toward Lin Que's fleet!
"Master, be careful! This is the Immortal Transformation Pool's Origin Formation!"
The Chen Family Old Ancestor was shocked,
"Rumor has it that although this pool water can purify Immortal Qi, once activated by a Formation, it turns into the most terrifying Bone-Dissolving Water! It can instantly melt even a True Immortal's Dharma Idol!"
"Melt me?"
Facing the nine silver water dragons that blotted out the sun and were enough to swallow a hundred-thousand-strong army in an instant, Lin Que didn't even draw the starfall saber on his back.
He yawned lazily and knocked on the door of the System in his mind.
"System. The pipes in this bathhouse are leaking. Hook up a pipe for me and lead it directly into the reservoir in my belly."
[Warning! High-dimensional liquid Law attack detected (Nine-Cycle Immortal-Melting Bone-Dissolving Water)!]
[Analysis: This liquid contains extremely high concentrations of 'Purification' and 'Dissolution' Laws, attempting to forcibly decompose the material structure of the host and the fleet.]
[Logic Reorganization activated—'Fully Automatic South-to-North Water Diversion and Super-Large Water Purifier' mode!]
[Operation 1: Intercept underlying 'Dissolution' command! Forcibly tamper the 'Bone-Dissolving Law' into 'Extremely Gentle inner heaven and earth Creation Nutrient Solution'!]
[Operation 2: Reverse the water dragon channels! Tamper with the Formation's spatial coordinates, locking the attack destination of these nine water dragons directly to the inner heaven and earth within the host's Dantian!]
[Operation 3: Activate 'Bottomless Pit' pumping protocol! Reverse-drain the Immortal Transformation Pool's Origin!]
"The hundred thousand miles of life water sent by my bro has been received! Time to chug, chug, chug!"
Buzz—!!!
At the critical moment when the nine ten-thousand-foot water dragons were about to crash into the flagship's shield!
A blinding Chaos vortex suddenly erupted from Lin Que's chest!
The projection of his inner heaven and earth, with its fifty-thousand-mile radius, burst open with Lin Que at the center!
An extremely eerie and shocking scene appeared!
The nine aggressive water dragons, capable of melting a True Immortal, not only failed to cause any damage the moment they touched Lin Que's inner heaven and earth...
Instead, they were like nine obedient loaches, slipping right through the Chaos vortex on Lin Que's chest with extreme smoothness!
"This... what kind of evil technique is this?! Where is our Immortal Transformation Formation's attack?!!"
In mid-air, the three purple-robed True Immortals maintaining the Formation almost had their eyes pop out!
That was a Formation attack gathering the power of twelve top-grade immortal veins! It just vanished into thin air?!
"Don't be in a hurry; this amount of water is too small, not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
Lin Que stood at the bow, a demonic smile curling on his lips.
He suddenly spread his arms, and the Blood Scripture, combined with the System's 'Bottomless Pit' pumping protocol, erupted at full power!
"Suck it up for me!!!"
Rumble!!!!!
The entire hundred-thousand-mile Immortal Transformation Pool went completely out of control at this moment!
It was no longer the Formation drawing the pool water; instead, Lin Que's inner heaven and earth had turned into a super black hole devouring the stars of ten thousand worlds, launching an utterly unreasonable "physical siphon" against the silver ocean below!
"Whoosh—!"
The hundred-thousand-mile silver immortal sea below was actually receding at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Countless extremely pure liquid Immortal Qi turned into a reverse-flowing silver waterfall, frantically surging into Lin Que's body!
"Stop!! Stop at once!! He's draining the Immortal Transformation Pool's Origin!!"
The three True Immortals finally reacted, scared out of their wits! This Immortal Transformation Pool was the Immortal Emperor's lifeblood! If it were drained dry, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to pay for it!
The three of them frantically unleashed their respective Natal Immortal Artifacts, turning into three world-destroying streaks of light that charged straight at Lin Que's face, attempting to interrupt this terrifying devouring process.
"Interrupting someone while they're drinking is a very impolite thing to do."
Lin Que's eyelids lifted slightly. He still hadn't drawn his saber.
At this moment, his body was filled with the immense Creation Origin of the Immortal Transformation Pool. Under the nourishment of this Origin, the power of his Great Accomplishment Demon God Body had reached a critical point where it could overflow at any time!
Facing the combined attack of three Early Stage Void Returning Realm True Immortals.
Lin Que simply raised his right hand calmly and then casually slapped out at the three streaks of light in front of him.
There were no fancy Laws, no brilliant special effects.
Only an absolute critical hit that was pure to the extreme, breaking through the physical limit of twenty million jin!
"Slap—!!!!!"
An extremely crisp yet thunderous slap echoed throughout the Outer Heaven of the Nine Heavens, exploding in mid-air!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
With this one slap, Lin Que directly shattered ten thousand miles of the Void Realm ahead!
Those three arrogant Void Returning Realm True Immortals, along with their Natal Immortal Artifacts, were like mosquitoes hit head-on by a high-speed train when they came into contact with this pure physical palm wind of twenty million jin.
They didn't even have time to let out a scream.
The Physical Bodies, Dharma Idols, and Primordial Spirits of the three True Immortals, and even the surrounding space, were instantly slapped into an extremely uniform blood mist!
One slap, instakilling three Great True Immortals!
The entire scene fell into a dead silence.
The three hundred thousand Upper Realm elites stationed around the Immortal Transformation Pool were all frozen in place like wooden carvings or clay statues, their weapons clattering to the ground one after another.
How could they even fight this?
Their high-and-mighty, omnipotent True Immortal commanders had been slapped into nonexistence by that Lower Realm youth like he was swatting flies?!
"Gurgle..."
At this time, Lin Que didn't even spare a glance at the blood mist.
He still kept his eyes closed, enjoying the pleasure of his inner heaven and earth's frantic expansion.
As the last drop of the Immortal Transformation Pool's Origin was drained dry...
The hundred-thousand-mile floating island, once shrouded in Immortal Qi, turned completely into a parched and cracked waste rock.
And within Lin Que's Dantian, a world-shaking qualitative change was occurring!
Fifty thousand miles... eighty thousand miles... a hundred thousand miles!!!
The territory of his inner heaven and earth, under the watering of the Creation Water, finally expanded to a massive hundred thousand miles! At the roots of the World Tree, a "silver ocean" belonging to Lin Que himself gathered. Under the nourishment of the seawater, the four Law leaves were completely integrated, forming an extremely perfect closed loop!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for draining the 'Immortal Transformation Pool' Origin!]
[inner heaven and earth creation completed! Territory expanded to a 'Hundred-Thousand-Mile Great World'!]
[Current Realm achieved naturally: inner heaven and earth · Late Stage Spirit Transformation (Half-step Void Returning combat power)!]
[Demon God Body Foundation accumulation complete: Physical Body strength flawlessly integrated, capable of tearing apart Middle Stage Void Returning Realm Magic Treasures with bare hands!]
"Whew—"
Lin Que slowly opened his eyes, letting out a long breath of turbid air tinged with a silver immortal glow.
His temperament at this moment became extremely profound and calm, like a bottomless ancient well, yet at the bottom of the well lay a raging tide capable of drowning the Nine Heavens at any time.
He lowered his hands, his gaze sweeping over the three hundred thousand Upper Realm troops below who were already scared out of their wits.
Lin Que did not order a massacre, but instead casually waved his hand.
"Green Fish, Old Chen. Take over this island."
Lin Que turned around and walked toward the nine dragon throne, his lazy yet dominantly peerless voice echoing in everyone's hearts:
"Tell the brothers to dig up all the immortal veins here and pack them away."
"The territory of these Nine Heavens is too large; we'll rob them one by one, that's the only way it'll be satisfying enough."
