Chapter 2863 Perfection Stage

Li Zhen carefully stowed the ninth grade Heaven Rank law, a treasure that could build a top-class Immortal Imperial Clan in the Seventh Heaven Domain! Its value was too great, so he couldn't bear to use it.

Lin Xun, on the other hand, was rummaging through the spoils of war. To his surprise, he found over thirty unused Heaven Rank laws from the belongings of the three Shaman Sect participants he had just killed.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Who could be like Lin Xun, having a Nirvana law power that let him absorb law powers in the shortest possible time?

Lin Xun decided to focus on cultivation in the following time. While there were many fortunes in the Earth Demon Realm that the other participants longed for, nothing could compare to improving his cultivation at the moment.

When he had fought Cang Fufeng just now, he had felt great pressure when the other party used all of his trump cards. Since Cang Fufeng was already so strong, one could imagine that divine sons like Wen Qiaoshui and Yuan Changtian were destined to not be any inferior.

“I, like all participants here, plan to realize transcendence in the Heaven Demon Realm. What about you, Lin Xun?” Li Zhen suddenly asked.

Lin Xun pondered, “If the opportunity is right, I’d give it a try.”

He had also learned that the Heaven Demon Realm was much more mysterious than the Earth Demon Realm. It would only open in a year and then close again three months after.

The Heaven Demon Realm possessed the biggest opportunities and treasures in the Ten Directions Demon Realm. According to legend, in that place were many epochal Divine Rank law powers that were buried, and even the air there contained hints of Divine Rank laws.

All in all, it was the most suitable place for Nirvana Spirit Immortals to certify their Transcendence dao.

Most amazingly, rumor had it that anyone who certified transcendence in the Heaven Demon Realm would be able to sense a sliver of opportunity during their Transcendence Stage tribulation, an opportunity related to the greatest fortune in the Heaven Demon Realm!

Many past participants had attempted this in order to capture that sliver of opportunity and thus seek the greatest fortune. As a matter of fact, many of them had succeeded. However, the greatest fortune produced in the Heaven Demon Realm differed with each period. Sometimes it would be an Eternal Divine Elixir, other times a law spirit or some divine artifact.

This time, though, it was highly likely to be a complete, or at least near-complete, Divine Rank law! This was the reason why divine juniors from the Ninth Heaven Domain such as Yuan Changtian, Ji Shanhai, Cang Fufeng, and Wen Qiaoshui took part in this Immortal Dao Battle. A Divine Rank law was just that pivotal!

Involved with the mystery of eternity, it was often referred to as an Eternal law. In the Ninth Heaven Domain, only the twelve Eternal Divine Clans each possessed a complete Divine Rank law. So did the Four Great Ancestral Courts.

Meanwhile, the twenty-four Immortal Divine Clans in the Ninth Heaven Domain, despite having Eternal figures among their ancestors, merely possessed damaged Divine Rank laws, also called semi-Divine laws.

Therefore, one could tell how astonishing it would be if the greatest fortune in the Heaven Demon Realm was a complete Divine Rank law!

Of course, this was still only speculation. No one was certain if the Heaven Demon Realm would produce such a Divine Rank law this time, but that could not wane everyone's determination to seize it.

......

In the vast starry void outside the Ten Directions Demon Realm, a group of old monsters from the Four Great Ancestral Courts and the Ten Immortal Giants had been waiting for nine years.

At first, they still had the leisure to drink and chat together, but as time passed, they had one by one closed their eyes and entered meditation. However, every so often, they would be startled, for they would notice right away whenever a participant fell in the Ten Directions Demon Realm.

At the beginning of the Immortal Dao Battle, the old monsters from the Ten Immortal Giants had all revealed unsightly expressions. The reason? They had found that nearly half of the participants from their camp had died!

The matter had been quite a shock, setting off an outcry from all the old monsters present. Fang Daoping had even had a heated argument with the old monsters of the Ten Immortal Giants over it. It was because they had decided that it was all Lin Xun’s doing, and as a result had made no effort to conceal their hatred and killing intent towards him.

In the years that followed, similar situations had happened occasionally, until one day the deaths of Cao Beidou and Yun Tianming alerted everyone. Even Fang Daoping’s brows furrowed as he had a rough guess, which likewise drew the attention of the other old monsters.

However, none of that had hit as violently as the commotion that had erupted a while ago, when they had found that Wang Juehuan’s group had been wiped out. The old monsters from the Ten Immortal Giants simply went mad, their beard and hair flaring in their furious outbursts.

Qing Yun of the Spirit Sect, Zu Wenheng of the Shaman Sect, and Jiaye of the Zen Sect were also startled. A whole group of participants had been annihilated at once! If Lin Xun was really the culprit, then how powerful must his combat strength be now?

Not only them, but even Fang Daoping was also dumbfounded for a good moment, unable to imagine how exactly Lin Xun had managed to accomplish that. However, the truth was right in front of them. Their unwillingness to accept it couldn't change anything.

Today, the fall of the three Shaman Sect participants caused Zu Wenheng’s face to darken.

"The Immortal Dao Battle is to decide the rankings among the Four Great Ancestral Courts, not a competition to see who kills more opponents. In the past Immortal Dao Battles, nothing this vile has ever happened!” His voice was heavy, dripping with anger.

He said nothing about retaliation, but Fang Daoping’s heart sank.

After over nine years, not only the Ten Immortal Giants but now also the Shaman Sect had become enraged. If Lin Xun was alive to return from the Ten Directions Demon Realm, he was bound to face an unexpected situation!

“Casualties are inevitable after all, it’s not like the past Immortal Dao Battles never saw any deaths. According to the rules, no matter what happens in the Ten Directions Demon Realm, the Four Great Ancestral Courts are forbidden from taking retaliatory actions.”

Spirit Venerable Qing Yun said indifferently, “Whoever defies this will be a public enemy of the remaining ancestral courts.”

“Hmph!” Zu Wenheng snorted coldly and didn’t say anything else.

Meanwhile, Buddha Venerable Jiaye hadn't commented a word since the beginning.

Qing Yun and Fang Daoping exchanged glances with a hint of worry between their brows.

......

Day after day passed.

On the fifteenth day in the canyon, Lin Xun woke up from his meditation. In him, his qi rumbled, emitting the aura of perfection.

“Perfection stage?” Li Zhen’s eyes lit up. He seemed to be more excited than Lin Xun himself.

Lin Xun smilingly nodded.

“From the initial stage to the peak advanced stage of Nirvana Spirit in just over nine years... I would never have believed that anyone in existence could achieve such a miracle if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes,” lamented Li Zhen.

Lin Xun was also filled with joy. Still, after taking stock of the laws that he had refined away, he knew that it was only natural for his cultivation to take such a leap. He had absorbed close to five hundred Earth Rank and a whole eighty-one Heaven Rank laws!

For any other Nirvana Spirit Immortal, just half of that amount would have long sent them to the peak of this realm.

The Nirvana law power’s contribution to Lin Xun's amazing progress was indispensable. Thanks to it, he was able to draw in the purest origin law power without having to refine the laws himself. This was what drove him to achieve several metamorphoses in just nine years. Such a miracle could only be realized in the Ten Directions Demon Realm.

On that same day, Lin Xun and Li Zhen left the canyon and continued to explore the Earth Demon Realm. Perhaps due to the overwhelming vastness of this world, they didn't encounter any other participants.

It wasn’t until their third month in the Earth Demon Realm that the duo finally discovered another Law Power Beast King.

It looked like a humongous python whose long body resembled an undulating mountain range, covered in cold scales that gleamed with a chilling light. When it breathed in and out, a lightning storm seemed to thunder from the nine heavens.

The power of this beast was sheer terror as it carried a ninth grade Heaven Rank law related to wind and lightning. A slight flick of its body called upon thousands of bolts, and every lightning bolt was made of law power, demonstrating appalling killing power.

It took Lin Xun and Li Zhen close to ten minutes to slay this beast and obtain a ninth grade Heaven Rank law. This time, Li Zhen refused to take the law no matter what, so Lin Xun had to accept it. After some rest, the two of them resumed their journey.

During this time, in the other regions of the Earth Demon Realm, Wen Qiaoshui’s group, Ji Shanhai’s party, Cang Fufeng and Huo Xiao duo, as well Yuan Changtian as a lone wolf, had their own harvests as well.

Some had hunted ninth grade Heaven Rank laws. Some had found fragments of Divine Rank laws. Some had harvested Eternal Divine Elixirs.

To anyone, the Earth Demon Realm was a treasure trove. They all put their entire efforts into finding fortunes.

Fortunately, the Earth Demon Realm was big enough. As they spread in different areas, there were very few hostile encounters.

Time flew by. There was only less than a month left before the Heaven Demon Realm opened. During this period of time, Lin Xun had hunted down another Law Power Beast King and obtained three fragments of Divine Rank laws.

As for Eternal Divine Elixirs, he hadn't seen a single one. Even so, the harvest was astonishing. Counting in the law that they had snatched from Cang Fufeng’s group, Lin Xun and Li Zhen had obtained three complete ninth grade Heaven Rank laws and three fragments of Divine Rank laws!

In the outside world, this was something simply unthinkable! After the distribution, Lin Xun got two ninth grade Heaven Rank laws and one Divine Rank law fragment, while the rest went to Li Zhen.

“Hmm?”

On this day, as Lin Xun was teleporting in a sea of clouds, he sensed something. Looking up, he glimpsed a flash of purple in the deep layers of the clouds.
