Chapter 113 The Wrath of the Fiend, Blood Debts Paying Off

Seeing this, Wang Hu hurriedly activated the defense of his black wind scale armor. A dark brown spiritual light flickered on the surface of the scales as he raised his Black Iron Hammer to block.

However, Lin Yue's strike contained the triple power of Golden Core True Essence, the Ten Thousand Jun Fiendbody, and the zhensha divine staff. The Black Iron Hammer instantly bent and deformed, the black wind scale armor shattered upon impact, and the divine staff slammed solidly into Wang Hu's chest.

"Pfft!" Wang Hu spat out a large mouthful of blood. His Foundation Establishment Physical Body, which had its cultivation suppressed, caved in like paper. The Black Iron Hammer flew from his hand and struck the Formation's light screen, causing a ripple. He was sent flying back, crashing into the soul-eroding incense sachet. His aura instantly withered, the spiritual power in his Dantian completely dissipated, and his power as a Body Cultivator vanished.

Zhao Chen was horrified to see Wang Hu heavily injured in a single blow, but he still gritted his teeth and swung his sword. The azure essence spiritual light of the cold moon sword embryo condensed into a sword shadow, piercing straight toward Lin Yue's back heart: "I don't believe you can sustain the consumption of Golden Core True Essence!"

Lin Yue did not dodge or evade. His left hand's wanxiang gauntlets condensed Golden Core True Essence as he punched the sword shadow. The sword shadow instantly collapsed, and the counter-force traveled back through the blade. The bones in Zhao Chen's wrist shattered instantly, and the azure essence sword embryo flew out of his hand.

Lin Yue turned around and swept his divine staff. The Spatial Sha-Slash let out a sharp, air-tearing sound as it whipped fiercely into Zhao Chen's waist, snapping his spine. Zhao Chen screamed as he fell to the ground, his eyes filled with despair: "The Qingyuan Sect will not let you go..."

Li Yao saw things were going poorly and manipulated the soul-eroding incense sachet to spray a large amount of poison mist, trying to stop Lin Yue. However, the Golden Core True Essence around Lin Yue formed a spiritual light barrier, and the poison mist collapsed upon contact.

Lin Yue leaped into the air, his divine staff pointing directly at Li Yao's head: "Your poison is useless against me!" Li Yao hurriedly raised the soul-eroding incense sachet to defend. With a loud "clang," a crack was smashed into the sachet, and the poison mist leaked out. Li Yao was shaken so hard her blood and Qi surged. Just as she tried to flee, Lin Yue stepped on her chest, the sound of bones cracking clearly audible.

Zhou Han brandished the cold moon sword embryo, his Evil Qi Aspect condensing into a blade that pierced toward Lin Yue's Dantian: "The Fiend Sword of the Tianyue Sect can break your defense!"

Lin Yue sidestepped the attack and flicked his divine staff back, piercing Zhou Han's thigh. The cold moon sword embryo fell to the ground, and the Evil Qi Aspect instantly dissipated. Zhou Han screamed as he fell, and Lin Yue took the opportunity to crush his Dantian with a kick, causing his suppressed Foundation Establishment cultivation to completely collapse.

Su Mu was scared out of his wits seeing the four of them killed one after another. He turned, wanting to tear through the Formation's light screen to escape, but Lin Yue caught up instantly. The divine staff pointed at his back heart as Golden Core True Essence erupted: "So this is all a Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect amounts to!"

Su Mu hurriedly used the azure profound spirit pen to block, but the moment the spirit pen touched the divine staff, it was shaken out of his hand by the Golden Core True Essence. The divine staff pierced through his back heart, and Su Mu's body slowly collapsed, his eyes full of resentment.

In just ten breaths, all five Foundation Establishment geniuses who had suppressed their cultivation were slain. Lin Yue stood in a pool of blood, the gold and red spiritual light around him slowly receding. The crystalline white True Essence on his forehead had also dimmed significantly, but his gaze remained cold. He quickly walked to his four wives and took out healing pills, feeding them one by one.

"How are you?" Lin Yue supported Su Qingyuan. Seeing the wound on her shoulder still bleeding, he immediately used his remaining Golden Core True Essence to help her clear her Meridians—pale gold spiritual light poured in, the wound scabbed over at a visible rate, and the broken Meridians were slowly repaired.

Su Qingyuan shook her head, her voice weak: "I'm fine, it's just that I've consumed too much spiritual power. I'll recover after a short rest." She looked at the aura around Lin Yue, her eyes full of worry, "You've consumed a lot of Golden Core True Essence; will there be any side effects?"

"Don't worry, it's only temporary weakness. The azure essence power of the Dao Fruit can help me recover." Lin Yue smiled and walked over to Luo Ningshuang to help stabilize the pill embryo in her Dantian—Golden Core True Essence flowed through her Meridians, and Luo Ningshuang's complexion gradually improved as the spiritual light of the pill embryo became stable again.

Under the purification of the Golden Core True Essence, A He's toxins also gradually dissipated. She propped herself up from the ground as the light from the spirit plant bead slowly repaired her Meridians: "The treasures of those people are ancestral divine treasures; they can't be wasted, we must collect them."

Ling Wei forced herself up and looked at the Magic Treasures dropped by the five: "Zhao Chen's azure essence sword embryo, Zhou Han's cold moon sword embryo, Li Yao's soul-eroding incense sachet, Wang Hu's black wind scale armor and Black Iron Hammer, and Su Mu's azure profound spirit pen—these are all top-tier Foundation Establishment Stage treasures. Plus their Storage Pouches, there must be plenty of resources inside."

Lin Yue nodded and collected all five ancestral divine treasures and five Storage Pouches. The System's notification sounded repeatedly: [Detected five top-tier Foundation Establishment Stage treasures and five Storage Pouches. Store them in the Hongmeng Space?] "Store them!"

With a thought from Lin Yue, all the treasures vanished instantly into the Hongmeng Space—the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the space immediately surged by 20%. The decomposition function started automatically, and the spiritual power of the dao-hidden core and the treasures began to blend, making the pale gold Spiritual Qi mist even denser.

"The Five Sect Spirit-Slaying Formation hasn't been broken yet. The Formation eyes are at the five corners of the light screen, corresponding to the treasures of those five."

Lin Yue followed her advice, took out a dao-hidden core, injected spiritual power, and threw it at the nearest Formation eye. The moment the core touched the light screen, the Spirit-Forbidden power erupted. The light of the Formation eye instantly dimmed, and a crack appeared in the light screen. He threw four more cores in succession, and all five Formation eyes were destroyed. After the light screen shook violently, it slowly dissipated, and the teleportation Formation's light lit up once more.

Beside the teleportation Formation, Lin Yue and the four women rested briefly—Su Qingyuan's spiritual power had mostly recovered, Luo Ningshuang's pill embryo was stable, A He's toxins had completely vanished, and Ling Wei's Formation power had recovered by thirty percent.

Lin Yue took the opportunity to check the Hongmeng Space. Inside, the five Spirit Treasures were being slowly decomposed by the spatial mist, and the Spiritual Qi concentration had soared from 10 points to 15 points.

[System Notification: Hongmeng Space Spiritual Qi concentration has reached 15 points. New function unlocked: [Treasure Fusion]!]

At that moment, the light of the teleportation Formation was fully lit. A pale blue pillar of light enveloped the five of them. Lin Yue took his four wives' hands, his eyes full of warmth: "Let's go home."

The five stepped into the light pillar together, and the scene before them instantly shifted—when they reappeared, they were beside the qinglan boat on the outskirts of the Qingyuan Secret Realm.

Liu Qingyan had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing the five return safely, a look of relief flashed in her eyes: "You successfully obtained the Dao Fruit and dealt with the Core Disciples of the five sects?"

Lin Yue nodded and briefly explained their encounters in the Secret Realm—from the ambush of the Dao-Hiding Guards to the sneak attack by the five sects' geniuses, and the process of using the Golden Core True Essence to kill them. He told Liu Qingyan everything.

Afterward, he took an azure essence dao fruit from the Hongmeng Space and handed it to Liu Qingyan: "Revered Master, this Dao Fruit contains the power of the azure essence Origin. It will be helpful for breaking through to the Late Golden Core Stage. Please accept it."

Liu Qingyan took the Dao Fruit, feeling the pure spiritual rhythm at her fingertips. She then looked at Lin Yue's aura, which was even stronger than before, and a flash of praise appeared in her eyes: "That you could use the Qi Refinement Stage to forcibly clash with five Foundation Establishment geniuses with suppressed cultivation, and even seize five ancestral Spirit Treasures... your progress has exceeded my expectations."

Lin Yue smiled: "It was all thanks to Revered Master's Natal True Essence; otherwise, I'm afraid we would have been in great danger this time."

The qinglan boat slowly rose into the air and flew toward the Qingyun Sect.

Lin Yue stood at the railing, looking at the sea of clouds below, filled with emotion—this trip to the Qingyuan Secret Realm had not only yielded the azure essence dao fruit and five Spirit Treasures, but his four wives' strength had also significantly improved.

Though they had gone through many dangers, the harvest was plentiful, laying a solid foundation for his future Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment and for facing even stronger enemies.
