"That was close!"
Lin Chen panted, thinking to himself.
If his soul realm hadn't reached the sixth level of Spirit Immortal, he would surely have perished today.
"No, I must hurry and find that guy, then annihilate him!"
With this thought, Lin Chen sat down on the ground to recover.
"Zhou Yan, since you dare to oppose me, be prepared to be annihilated!"
Lin Chen said coldly.
......
A night passed quickly.
Lin Chen woke up from his unconsciousness.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself still in the valley deep within the Primordial Forest.
At this moment, there was no trace of soul power around him.
Lin Chen looked at his body and found that his injuries had completely healed, leaving no trace, as if what happened last night had been a dream.
"That Zhou Yan must have left long ago. After so much time, my physical body and soul have fully recovered."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
However, his divine sense did not spread out.
He knew that Zhou Yan was definitely monitoring him nearby. If he released his divine sense, he would be discovered.
Therefore, Lin Chen only needed to wait for an opportunity to lure him out.
......
Time flowed slowly.
Another half a month passed.
Half a year had passed since the Grand Ceremony of the Spiritual Ruins.
"Hoo!"
Zhou Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air. His body was no longer listless, but full of vigor.
His cultivation had also broken through to the peak of the second level of Spirit Immortal, and his strength had increased many times over!
In the past half a month, he had been trying to condense divine power every day!
His internal organs, bones, skin, and even meridians all felt a great transformation.
"Finally condensed a trace of divine power."
Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Divine power was divided into five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, representing the five elements.
These five attributes of divine power were further divided into five minor grades.
For example, metal, earth, ice, wood, water, and thunder attributes.
The divine power of metal and wood that Zhou Yan had now condensed was the minor-grade metal divine power!
And as his cultivation increased, it could be further improved.
However, Zhou Yan was not yet qualified to challenge higher-grade divine power.
So, he could only stop cultivating for now.
"Hmm? What is this?"
Zhou Yan looked down and found three medicinal herbs placed in front of him.
"These three medicinal herbs, I seem to have seen them somewhere before, but I can't remember."
"Who sent me these three medicinal herbs?"
Zhou Yan was bewildered.
He had never seen these three medicinal herbs before, yet they felt very familiar.
"Perhaps I can try using these three herbs to temper my physical body?"
Zhou Yan thought for a moment and began to try.
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Zhou Yan directly grabbed one of the herbs and threw it into his mouth.
He swallowed the herb in one gulp.
Then, Zhou Yan circulated the "Myriad Transformation Art" and began to absorb the medicinal power within the herb frantically!
After the herb was swallowed, it emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.
Zhou Yan's expression became somewhat excited.
Because this medicinal herb contained a large amount of divine power!
Moreover, this medicinal power was extremely potent, almost equivalent to the entire cultivation of a ninth-level Spirit Immortal martial artist!
However, Zhou Yan did not intend to stop cultivating, but continued to absorb the divine power frantically.
Faint reddish-brown patterns began to flicker on his body surface.
Zhou Yan's skin was gradually turning black.
And this darkening speed was getting faster and faster, soon covering Zhou Yan's entire body!
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yan's blood began to boil.
"Roar~"
Zhou Yan let out a roar to the sky, and streaks of divine power surged out from his flesh and blood.
These divine powers converged in the void, transforming into a swarm of ferocious beasts!
Each ferocious beast was composed of one hundred and eight strands of divine power.
And these divine powers also possessed intelligence.
Each ferocious beast, upon seeing Zhou Yan, showed fear and fled in all directions.
Zhou Yan waved his hand violently, and terrifying divine powers condensed in the void, forming a giant axe!
"Kill!"
Zhou Yan roared, and fiercely chopped in all directions.
Instantly, streaks of terrifying axe shadows condensed in the void, emitting astonishing aura fluctuations, as if the entire void was about to shatter!
The axe shadows continuously fell on the surrounding trees and stones!
"Bang!"
A towering ancient tree was directly cut by the axe light and then collapsed with a thud!
"How terrifying! Is this the power of the Spirit Immortal realm?"
"If I advance further, won't I become a true immortal?"
"Immortals! Those are legendary beings."
......
The demonic beasts around Zhou Yan were all scared stiff.
"Boom boom boom!"
Streaks of axe shadows, in the void, drew strange arcs.
Each axe shadow carried an extremely sharp aura, heading straight for the heads of the demonic beasts!
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"Spare me..."
With one move from Zhou Yan, all the demonic beasts were annihilated!
These demonic beasts possessed the cultivation of third-level Spirit Immortals!
But under Zhou Yan's attack, they didn't even have the qualification to resist and were instantly killed!
"So strong! With such an attack, even a cultivator in the early stage of Spirit Emperor would find it hard to withstand, right?"
Zhou Yan was deeply shocked.
"However, this is still far from the peak."
Zhou Yan's gaze was fixed on the medicinal field in front of him, determined to cultivate diligently.
"I, Zhou Yan, will sooner or later step into the Immortal realm!"
"Not only will I become a powerful immortal, but I will also surpass those so-called immortals!"
Zhou Yan roared in his heart!
"Swish!"
Immediately, he leaped into the medicinal field and frantically collected medicinal herbs.
Zhou Yan's hands constantly dug into the medicinal field.
With each herb he dug up, he could absorb a little medicinal power, causing his cultivation to rapidly climb.
In one day, the medicinal field had been dug to its end.
At the very center of the medicinal field was a stone tablet!
"This stone tablet records some cultivation secret methods and divine powers of immortals!"
"This stone tablet was personally inscribed by the Heavenly Emperor, and it records the name of a divine power."
Zhou Yan flipped the stone tablet over and examined it carefully.
This divine power was called [Primordial Divine Blade].
This was a very domineering divine power that could unleash divine power to kill opponents.
