Rumble!

Four Coiling Dragon Pillars slammed into the ground, creating a domain that trapped a Blood Lion Clan youngster.

“You…what are you trying to do?”

The youngster’s eyes nearly popped from their sockets in alarm, fear, and worry.

Lin Xun did not waste any time explaining. He knocked the youngster unconscious and began to search his body.

It only took a few moments for Lin Xun to body-search the youngster. Besides a few medicinal pills and three aeth weapons, only a white bone talisman caught Lin Xun’s attention.

It was the size of a coin and mysterious secret runes surged across its surface, making it look cryptic and extraordinary.

Looks like this is a protective item similar to the Golden Cicada Talisman…

Lin Xun pondered.

He slapped the Blood Lion Clan youngster awake and began to interrogate him.

The youngster originally refused to cooperate, but this was no issue for Lin Xun. After using a few torture techniques he had learned from Blood Kill Camp, the youngster was wailing for his parents and unsurprisingly gave in.

It was exactly as Lin Xun had guessed. The white bone talisman was a safety measure and was called the ‘Life Soul Bone Talisman’!

With this treasure in one’s possession, even if you were killed, as long as you still had a sliver of spirit remaining, it would be possible for you to be saved and have a chance at revival.

Shi Jun, Bao Ya, and the others had been taken away by the power of the Life Soul Bone Talisman. It had transported them out of the Deva Secret Domain where they would be received by the ‘Life Soul Altar’ set up by the Blood Lion Clan experts.

Lin Xun could not help but sigh when he learned about this. The Golden Cicada Talisman and the Life Soul Bone Talisman were both amazing treasures that could safeguard one’s life.

Such treasures were essentially equivalent to a second life!

According to the Blood Lion Clan youngster, almost all of the experts who had entered the Deva Secret Domain had been given similar safety items.

Of course, this wasn’t something every cultivator had. Only the most elite and important members of the clan could enjoy such treatment.

After all, treasures like the Life Soul Bone Talisman were extremely precious and limited in quantity. Even in these rich and powerful clans, they were valuable treasures that not just anyone could possess.

Plop!

Blood blossomed as the Blood Lion Clan youngster was killed by Lin Xun while he held onto the Life Soul Bone Talisman.

In other words, the youngster had no chance of revival…

Oh?

When Lin Xun released the Four Coiling Dragon Pillars, he was surprised to discover that the remaining Blood Lion Clan experts had already fled toward the mountain like dogs that had lost their homes.

They clearly realized that they were not his match and had no choice but to retreat for now.

What made it worse was that the Dragon Whale Clan experts were still watching from the other side of the lake, and the path to the island was still covered in terrifying restriction power. As such, they could only grit their teeth and head up the mountain.

“Just wait, you human scum! When our Saintess returns, it will be your funeral!”

“Hateful, so hateful!”

The Blood Lion Clan experts angrily cursed as they ran away.

Should I chase?

Lin Xun pondered for a moment before he decided against it.

The purple gold mountain might appear safe, but it was the most important place on the island and would most definitely be filled with even greater dangers.

Moreover, Saintess Lin Lang was somewhere up there, and he did not wish to clash with her so quickly.

She was a heartless and cruel demon who possessed an extremely terrifying blood-colored copper bell. Lin Xun had no choice but to be extra wary of her.

……

The ground was soaked in blood and covered in corpses while a pungent bloody smell filled the area.

The battle had started and ended quickly. More than half of the Blood Lion Clan experts had been killed, leaving a scene of shocking ghastliness.

On the other side of the lava lake, the Dragon Whale Clan experts gasped. Their eyes wide were in shock, unable to believe that this had all been caused by a single human youngster.

Lin Xun ignored everything as he began to scour the battlefield.

He soon collected over a dozen herbs and placed them in a cauldron. They were the battle spoils of the Blood Lion Clan experts, consisting of items such as the Purple Vine Snow Mushrooms and the Moon Essence Grass.

He also managed to gather several random pills, aeth crystals, and weapons.

Lin Xun muttered to himself, “After I advance to the Heaven Ascension stage, I could brew some pills to further solidify my cultivation…”

He planned to attack the Heaven Ascension stage in the Deva Secret Domain and raise his combat power as quickly as possible. This was the only way to resolve any unpredictable dangers.

Soon after, his gaze turned toward the nearby herb field. His eyes began to burn with desire as he looked at the Qilin Grass, Treasure Lanturn King Ginseng, and the other herbs…

It would be nothing short of a huge haul if he could harvest all of these incredible herbs!

Lin Xun cast aside all unnecessary thoughts and began to analyze the restriction power covering the field. If he could not decipher it, there would be nothing he could do but look at the herbs within.

As for the purple gold sacred mountain and the mysterious green palace atop it, Lin Xun had no intentions of exploring them for the time being.

His intuition told him that although there were great treasures hidden within, they were also accompanied by unforeseeable danger!

If Saintess Lin Lang and the others somehow obtained the treasures and safely returned with them, Lin Xun would not mind taking advantage of the situation…

Outside the Return Dominion.

The bigwigs from the various clans were waiting here. They occasionally chatted, trying to predict which clan would return with the biggest haul and which younger generation descendant would manage to rise above the rest and defeat the rest of the competitors.

Even Elder Gao Yang was conversing with several bigwigs from the various clans.

The reason for this was simple. Spirit Treasure Holy Land was an ancient sect with a long history. Even these local factions in Spirit Burial Sea knew how powerful Spirit Treasure Holy Land was.

One of the bigwigs said, “I heard that your Blood Lion Clan has a secret map detailing a special location in the Deva Secret Domain. If so, your clan will have a huge advantage this time.”

“It isn’t much of a secret. If things go as planned, the younger generation elites of the clan will obtain sizable blessings.”

The Blood Lion Clan bigwig maintained a nonchalant expression. However, there was a trace of unconcealed smugness on the slight smile he wore.

The nearby bigwigs displayed various expressions containing differing degrees of envy.

They had also heard that the secret map obtained by the Blood Lion Clan was related to an extraordinary place of great blessing in the Deva Secret Domain.

“Is it the Five Elements Holy Island? I’ve heard that it is a garden that was personally cultivated by an ancient monster-beast saint and contains a true saint herb.”

Elder Gao Yang’s words made the other bigwigs tremble in shock. The garden of an ancient monster-beast saint?

A true saint herb?

The look in their eyes immediately changed when they looked at the Blood Lion Clan bigwig again as it now contained a sliver of jealousy. How could anyone stay composed when such a gargantuan treasure was being monopolized by the Blood Lion Clan?

The Blood Lion Clan bigwig merely smiled slightly although he was feeling very pleased inside.

It was at this moment that the altar in front of him began to glow as it produced a peculiar spatial undulation.

It was the Life Soul Altar. When misfortune befell the clansman wearing the Life Soul Bone Talisman, their spirits would be teleported back here and appear on the altar.

The bigwigs’ gazes immediately turned bewildered.

Spirit silhouettes appeared one after another on the altar, belonging to the Blood Lion Clan younger generation experts.

They were in very pitiful states with only a small strand of their spirits remaining.

The Blood Lion Clan bigwig was alarmed as he involuntarily cried out, “What happened?”

“Ancestor, we’ve…we’ve been scammed!” someone lamented. It was Shi Jun, but all that remained of him was a spirit.

“You…what did you say?” There was already no longer any hint of happiness in the Blood Lion Clan ancestor’s heart. His expression changed drastically as he grabbed Shi Jun’s spirit by the neck.

“Ancestor, we’ve been tricked by a human youngster. Damnit, he’s only a Spirit Sea small fry but…he nearly wiped out all of us!”

“Human youngster? Spirit Sea stage?”

The Blood Lion Clan bigwig was somewhat stupefied, not daring to believe his ears as he snarled, “Explain it properly!”

“Ancestor, it’s true. We had just entered the Five Elements Holy Island and had originally believed…” Shi Jun was practically wailing as he swiftly explained the events that had occurred.

After hearing the story, the nearby bigwigs' expressions turned increasingly strange and several of them began to gloat.

The Blood Lion Clan ancestor’s expression had turned ugly, but he was still in disbelief. “Impossible. How can a Spirit Sea expert compete with you guys? Where’s Bao Ya? He is an advanced Heaven Ascension expert and can’t possibly have been defeated by a little worm.”

Bao Ya appeared at this moment and bitterly said, “Ancestor, it’s true.”

His spirit was in an even more miserable state and was on the verge of collapsing. It was the outcome of being gravely injured by the God Devourer Insects.

The Blood Lion Clan ancestor’s eyes nearly popped from their sockets at the sight of Bao Ya’s appearance. Even an advanced Heaven Ascension expert like him wasn’t a Spirit Sea youngster’s match?

“We were careless and never expected that he was one of the younger generation's super experts. He looked younger than twenty, but his combat capabilities were terrifying. None of us was his match, and we were killed one by one…”

Bao Ya’s voice was filled with disappointment and hatred.

The Life Soul Altar continued to ripple as spirit after spirit was transferred. All of the spirits belonged to Blood Lion Clan experts.

Only the most elite younger generation experts were bestowed Life Soul Bone Talismans! However, all of their spirits were rapidly teleported back in miserable states as if they were rushing to a gathering.

The atmosphere was deathly silent for a time.

The bigwigs from the other clans could no longer laugh and were alarmed as they began to realize the gravity of the situation.

It was horrifying to imagine that a Spirit Sea human youngster could be so terrifying that he had massacred so many Blood Lion Clan younger generation experts.

Who is he?

The Blood Lion Clan ancestor’s expression had already become extremely stormy. He had been feeling so smug earlier, believing that his clansmen were destined to obtain amazing blessings. Who could have imagined that it would turn into such a tragedy in the blink of an eye?

He felt as if he was about to explode from anger.
