In such a short time, the number of Golden Core cultivators in the sea of fire sharply reduced from eight to six, with four of them belonging to the Supreme Profound Lineage.
"Junior Brother Lin, you're only in your eighties, you still have another chance to compete for the True Successor Position.
This time, just hand over the spot to your senior brother!"
Lin Lu pressed forward step by step, the Earth Fiend Profound Light Technique gathered into one Profound Light Flying Sword after another, ready to strike Lin Xiao. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥
But at this moment, the treasure mirror in Lin Lu's hand suddenly emitted a wail, and the firelight rose within it. The Golden Core cultivator of the Supreme Profound Lineage, who was in pursuit, suddenly encountered the explosion of the Profound Yellow Merit Fire, which enveloped them instantaneously.
This Merit Fire, which is not skilled in slaying, did not burn the divine soul of the Golden Core cultivator of the Supreme Profound Lineage, nor did it affect their physical foundation, but the scorching heat of the unextinguishable Merit Fire left the Golden Core cultivator of the Supreme Profound Lineage in unbearable pain.
However, because there was no threat to life, the supervising True Technique of the True Successor Trial was not triggered, leaving the Golden Core cultivators of the Supreme Profound Lineage to sink into the sea of fire and endure the suffering.
Lin Lu's pupils shrank suddenly, and the next moment, familiar wailing came again from the treasure mirror. This time, his junior sister Lin He was caught in the flames of the Merit Fire.
Lin He at the mid-Golden Core stage was utterly unable to bear the eruption of the Merit Profound Yellow Fire, and in an instant, her Magic Robe was nearly burned to ashes, her Lifebound Magical Treasure lost its spirit under the scorching of the Merit Profound Yellow Fire, and her outer flesh was entirely carbonized.
"Lu Yan has made a move!"
"Senior Brother, save me!"
A chorus of piercing cries came from the treasure mirror.
Lin Lu's mind trembled violently, gritting his teeth and refusing to pay attention, instead focusing all his energy on Lin Xiao before him, fully urging the Earth Fiend Profound Light Technique, with swords of Profound Light like rain falling toward the weakened Lin Xiao.
At this moment, a figure gently descended from the sky, his hands changing spells.
Celestial Spirit·Yin Wind Curse!
With the blessing of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed, the Wind of the Nine Netherworld howled up from the depths of the earth, and the Yin Wind Technique capable of scattering souls confronted the sky full of Profound Light.
The Profound Light Technique could penetrate the heavens and earth, obliterate the five elements, yet it struggled to exert its sharpness before the Celestial Spirit level Yin Wind Technique; Profound Light collided with Yin Wind, shaking the ground, forcibly carving out a pure land in the sea of fire.
Lu Yan descended, glancing at the Earth Fiend Profound Light Technique Lin Lu wielded, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This Earth Fiend Divine Technique could not only reflect all things but also possessed such formidable offensive capabilities. More importantly, the Profound Light Technique was unlike the divine mountain, the tough wind, and the star river; it was a Yin-Yang Skill, not within the five elements.
If Lin Lu had used the Profound Light Technique from the start, the Four Symbols Gate could not suppress this Earth Fiend Divine Technique, and Lu Yan couldn't have defeated everyone so easily.
But Lin Lu, being clever to preserve strength, instead gave Lu Yan the opportunity.
However, now with Lin Lu alone, even if he mastered the Earth Fiend Divine Technique, there was no chance to turn the tables.
The Yin Wind howled, Lu Yan flicked his finger, and another Demon True Technique emerged with the blessing of the Supreme Divine Techniques Seed.
This technique was named: Yin Talisman Triple Kill!
The Triple Kill True Intent of Heaven, Earth, and Man arrived in succession, and Lin Lu instantly felt his hair stand on end, as if the hostility of the entire world was constant targeting him. His divine soul trembled, and the Profound Light Technique in his hand deviated from its original path, directly piercing through his Dharma Body.
Spiritual Qi in chaos, divine technique backlash, magical power corrosion followed continuously, causing Lin Lu to spew a mouthful of blood, and the sky full of Profound Light instantly dissipated at this moment.
Lu Yan completely ignored the vigilant Lin Xiao on the side and walked step by step in front of Lin Lu.
The other three Golden Core cultivators of the Supreme Profound Lineage on the ground, in the treasure mirror, were still enduring the pain of burning with fire, with wailing continuously issuing from the treasure mirror, but Lin Lu was entirely unaffected, staring intently at Lu Yan.
"Except for you, there are six Golden Core cultivators left in total, and there are four True Successor spots.
In any case, you can only eliminate three people, our Supreme Profound Lineage is bound to occupy one True Successor Position and still retain a voice within the True Inheritance Hall."
"This time your Four Seasons Lineage won, but you cannot win forever.
Once Mu Chunqiu ascends to Divinity Transformation, you will not be able to stay long in the mortal world. Once Mu Chunqiu leaves, you absolutely cannot resist the many elders of our Supreme Profound Lineage!"
Saying this, Lin Lu spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression turned a bit more amiable.
"Junior Brother Lu, after all, there isn't much deep-rooted hatred between our Supreme Profound Lineage and the Four Seasons Lineage.
Even though we've taken plenty of resources over the past hundreds of years, even if we don't, your Four Seasons Lineage would still be too weak to protect them.
Why don't we start from the two of us, where our two branches reconcile?
You eliminate Lin Xiao and one other person, help our Supreme Profound Lineage secure three True Successor Positions, and the three of us will become your followers, and the Supreme Profound Lineage could even assist the Four Seasons Lineage in reestablishing the sect, what's your opinion?"
Lu Yan squinted his eyes slightly, his expression indifferent:
"I never said I'm from the Four Seasons Lineage."
Lin Lu heard this and was dumbstruck, then his face turned ecstatic, saying:
"Junior Brother Lu isn't Mu Chunqiu's disciple?"
"I am a disciple of the Mang Mountain Branch, participating in the True Successor Trial only because of a deal with True Monarch Mu."
Looking at Lu Yan's genuine expression, Lin Lu immediately recalled various branches of the Taiyi Sect in his heart, remembering that Mang Mountain Branch seemed to be a small sub-branch in the Southern Wilderness, without even a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch stationed.
