Chapter 185: Lin Tian
Hum!
Just as Ye Chen was about to take action, the dao rhymes started to ring again.
Looking up, he saw the Divine Celestial Physique surrounded by mysterious chaotic characters that flew toward the cracks in the space, healing it instantly.
Even the space sealed by that person was forcefully opened.
"Impossible!"
The person inside the chaos was shocked, and so was Ye Chen.
"The divine celestial physique is not this powerful unless—!"
His voice shook with greed and fear.
Ye Chen had no different reaction than him; his eyes also were flashing with greed. How could he not guess that divine physique might have undergone massive changes?
Which meant it would be even more formidable than before.
"How about we make a deal, little mountain spirit? You are not human, so this Divine Physique is useless to you. In exchange, I will give you enough natural treasures to make you evolve into a regional spirit," the person inside the chaos suggested.
His view was blocked by the chaos; furthermore, the rift was only enough for his hands to pass through and unless he could step outside, he could only sense the aura and surroundings vaguely.
Because of this, he failed to see Ye Chen, who was in full human flesh.
Hearing his words, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh in his heart.
Due to the Divine Physique’s actions, the void around the rift had become extremely thick.
So even if that person was as powerful as the heavens, it would take some serious time to expand the rift.
It was just that person didn’t have the time, because now all the Void Pearl needed to do was apply a little more pressure and the rift would close completely.
It was no wonder that person suddenly stopped roaring.
"What if you are just making an empty promise?" Ye Chen inquired with a doubtful tone.
He was a very kind person, so naturally he couldn’t bear to refuse his goodwill.
"Humph!" the person inside the chaos snorted coldly.
"I, Lin Tian, have never gone back on my words! So let me in and I will give you everything needed for your evolution," he stated.
Hearing him, Ye Chen rolled his eyes.
Who was he? A one-year-old child?
’Maybe I should try this trick on my naive junior sister,’ he thought suddenly, making Li Mei shiver with cold just as she was about to sleep.
"Less nonsense. You know I don’t have any use for that physique so either you give me natural treasures first or just forget about the physique," Ye Chen replied with impatience.
Hearing this, Lin Tian went silent; however, he was certainly furious as the terrifying pressure coming out from the rift increased.
"I will give you half of the natural treasures first, but try to deceive me and I will hunt you down even if you hide in a grave," he stated with killing intent.
In response, Ye Chen just scoffed silently in his heart.
"Don’t worry when I, Lu Feng, had gone back on my words?" he said arrogantly.
Anyway, he wasn’t Lu Feng.
"Humph! Quite the courage to name yourself after a human! Here, take this," Lin Tian snorted and moved his index finger slightly.
Swoosh!
Immediately after this, four items flew out of his spatial ring, hovering in midair.
"The first item is the beast core of a God King beast. The second is a hundred-million-year-old thunderwood. The third is a bottle containing Soul Nourishing Spring, and the last one is a thousand-year-old star-ore vein."
"You can either devour these items for evolution or use them to increase your cultivation," he explained.
Hearing this, Ye Chen was stunned, especially since he didn’t feel any heartbreak or hesitation from Lin Tian’s tone.
’This guy must be a rich cultivator,’ he thought as he swiftly stored the four items in his spatial ring.
"Now stop interfering with the rift and let me in!" Lin Tian stated with impatience.
However, Ye Chen pretended to not hear him and calmly instructed Void Pearl to close the rift. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Boom!
The whole world shook as an enormous pressure descended on the rift; however, because of Lin Tian’s hand still holding the edges, the rift struggled to shrink.
"As expected of you vile spirits—always scheming against humans!" Lin Tian wasn’t surprised by his actions at all.
"Since you have chosen death, I will grant your wish!" he stated coldly.
In that instant a terrifying killing intent swept across the world.
The target was not Ye Chen but everything inside a hundred-mile radius.
Only after destroying the spiritual mountain can one kill the mountain spirit; it’s just that Lin Tian had miscalculated.
But who could convince him that a mountain spirit was able to manipulate the space without being near or standing on its main body?
Just as the killing intent targeted the land, the void pearl became anxious. It has barely recovered from its injuries from before and now it has to suffer another attack because of someone else?
Where was justice in the world?
Ye Chen, however, did not care about its frustration.
No matter if he scammed that Lin guy or not, the result won’t change.
Only dead people keep secrets after all.
(Hurry and think of a way to escape!) Long Ruxue cherished her life so she was quite uneasy after witnessing all of this.
Shing!
At this moment, an ancient blood-red sword materialized in front of the rift.
There was no pressure, no aura, no qi—not even a trace of fluctuation.
Yet just looking at it, Ye Chen felt the sword alone was enough to annihilate Nascent Soul and Dao Ascension stage cultivators.
’What a despicable person,’ Ye Chen cursed in his heart as he saw this while wondering if he could get his hands on this sword.
Although he had a divine spear, in his eyes it was pretty useless, especially since female cultivators loved sword cultivators, not spear ones. Even his cute, naive junior sister was the same.
Because of this, he long had the idea of acquiring a good sword; it’s just that he hadn’t found any until now.
"You can die now!" Lin Tian said coldly.
