Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Lin Yun prepared to refine the two drops of Essence Blood. He could only refine Demon Beast Essence Blood one drop at a time, so he started by swallowing the Thunder Tiger’s Essence Blood. Since he had already refined the Golden Lion’s Essence Blood, Lin Yun now had experience. He didn’t actively direct the process, instead allowing the Essence Blood to temper his bones and meridians on its own.

It felt as if countless bolts of lightning were wreaking havoc inside him. Lin Yun gritted his teeth, cold sweat pouring from his forehead as his face turned deathly pale.

The intense pain from the Thunder Tiger’s Essence Blood didn’t begin to fade until a full night had passed. After being tempered by the Essence Blood, his physical body was, of course, strengthened once more. He then took a moment to carefully assess his current cultivation.

Lin Yun smiled faintly. ’It’s just as I estimated. Refining the Golden Pattern Python’s Essence Blood will definitely be enough to break through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm.’

"This feels amazing, though the process is a bit painful," Lin Yun said with a happy laugh.

He didn’t continue with the refinement. Even he couldn’t endure refining Demon Beast Essence Blood of this purity back-to-back. He had to rest.

For the rest of the day, Lin Yun focused on stabilizing his current cultivation to prepare for his breakthrough that night.

The afternoon passed quickly. After refining another Three-Stars Qi Essence Pill, Lin Yun took out over a hundred thousand Low Grade Primordial Stones and placed them in front of himself. As night fell, Lin Yun prepared to break through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm.

Before beginning his breakthrough, Lin Yun gave Little Ape some instructions. He planned to set a trap tonight. Once he broke through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm, dealing with these Tier Three Demon Beasts would be much easier.

With all preparations complete, Lin Yun swallowed the drop of the Golden Pattern Python’s Essence Blood in one gulp. The moment it entered his body, he immediately felt the barrier to his next realm.

It was as if this pure Essence Blood could think for itself. Realizing Lin Yun had reached the critical point for a breakthrough, the drop from the Golden Pattern Python prioritized helping him advance instead of tempering his physical body.

Lin Yun could feel the barrier to the Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm with perfect clarity. All he had to do now was shatter it and successfully advance.

After a series of impacts, a sudden jolt shook Lin Yun’s body. The barrier to the Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm shattered. The Elemental Power in the surroundings began to flood madly into him.

Having successfully broken through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Sea Realm, Lin Yun shattered the hundred thousand-plus Low Grade Primordial Stones before him. Instantly, the surrounding Elemental Power became immensely dense, and he began to absorb it frantically.

Lin Yun’s breakthrough caused a great disturbance as all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Power in the vicinity surged toward him.

Sensing this change, two Tier Three Demon Beasts within a radius of several dozen miles grew curious and hurried toward his location: a Golden Lion and a Blood Patterned Wolf.

The two Demon Beasts didn’t know that Lin Yun was breaking through; they only sensed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Power suddenly converging on a single point.

As the two Demon Beasts hurried toward him, they had no idea they were walking right into a trap Lin Yun had already set.

Lin Yun had anticipated that the commotion from his breakthrough might attract the attention of nearby Demon Beasts. That was why he had given Little Ape instructions beforehand. Right now, Little Ape was hiding on a tree branch not far from Lin Yun.

At only the size of a fist, Little Ape was very easy to conceal. By now, the Golden Lion and the Blood Patterned Wolf had arrived at Lin Yun’s location.

Sensing the dense Elemental Power coming from Lin Yun’s direction, the two Demon Beasts exchanged a look, their eyes glinting with a very human-like intelligence. Seeing it with their own eyes, they realized it must be that human who was breaking through.

The surrounding Tier Three Demon Beasts were already aware of Lin Yun’s presence. They knew a human had entered Demon Beast Ridge not long ago.

Possessing intelligence on par with humans, coupled with the fact that the Demon Beasts of Demon Beast Ridge were exceptionally cunning, the Golden Lion and the Blood Patterned Wolf knew that humans were most vulnerable when breaking through. This was the perfect time to kill Lin Yun.

Though their hearts were filled with killing intent, the two Demon Beasts remained vigilant. They crept toward Lin Yun, wanting to confirm that he was truly in the middle of a breakthrough.

As they slowly approached, they remained unaware that Lin Yun had sensed their presence long ago. At this moment, he was merely putting on an act.

A normal Martial Artist would likely still be in the process of breaking through, but Lin Yun was different. He cultivated two Unparalleled Techniques, allowing him to absorb Elemental Power several times faster than an ordinary person.

By now, Lin Yun had essentially completed his breakthrough. The only thing he still lacked was a saturated level of Elemental Power in his body.

But that wasn’t a major issue; he could simply replenish his Elemental Power later. For now, Lin Yun continued to feign his breakthrough, luring the two Demon Beasts to take the bait.

When they were about twenty meters from Lin Yun, the two Demon Beasts saw that he was still sitting with his eyes closed, apparently in the middle of his breakthrough. Seeing this for themselves, they completely let down their guard.

With a roar, both Demon Beasts charged Lin Yun simultaneously. However, at the very moment they launched their attack, Lin Yun, who had kept his eyes tightly shut, suddenly snapped them open.

His Space Ring flashed, and the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear appeared instantly in his hand. Unleashing Thunderfire Bombardment, Lin Yun’s entire body erupted in flame and lightning as he shot toward the two Demon Beasts to meet their charge.

Realizing they’d been tricked, a flicker of alarm showed in the eyes of the Golden Lion and the Blood Patterned Wolf. But it wasn’t over yet. How could a trap so carefully laid by Lin Yun be so simple?

Just as Lin Yun unleashed Thunderfire Bombardment, Little Ape unleashed its Bloodline Power. The stunned Golden Lion and Blood Patterned Wolf suddenly felt an oppressive might originating from their very bloodline, rising from the depths of their marrow.

Suppressed by the Bloodline Power, the strength of the Golden Lion and the Blood Patterned Wolf plummeted. The thought of retreat surfaced in their minds, but everything happened in the blink of an eye. Just as they realized they’d been trapped, Lin Yun’s Thunderfire Bombardment slammed viciously into them.

Flame and lightning instantly engulfed the powerful bodies of the Golden Lion and the Blood Patterned Wolf. They had taken the full force of Lin Yun’s attack head-on. Although they weren’t dead, they were now clearly heavily injured.

Just as planned, the moment Lin Yun’s attack hit, Little Ape instantly swelled to over three meters tall and viciously lunged at the Blood Patterned Wolf, leaving the Golden Lion for Lin Yun to handle.

Already heavily injured and facing both Lin Yun and Little Ape, the Golden Lion and Blood Patterned Wolf were immediately forced onto the back foot. With the added pressure of Little Ape’s bloodline suppression, they were completely outmatched.

They were constantly looking for a chance to escape. Admittedly, the Golden Lion and the Blood Patterned Wolf were cunning, but it was useless in the face of Lin Yun’s meticulously designed trap.

After a brief battle, Lin Yun and Little Ape successfully killed the Golden Lion and the Blood Patterned Wolf. Looking at the two Demon Beast corpses, a smile touched Lin Yun’s lips. ’I just broke through and I’ve already gotten two more drops of Demon Beast Essence Blood. This is fantastic!’
