Saintess Lin Lang left these words behind before she flew off toward the peak.

Her meaning was clear. It caused Lin Xun’s and the other captured cultivators’ expressions to turn pale, alarmed, and angry.

Leave no one alive?

That would mean killing all of them!

What a ruthless woman!

Someone said in a trembling voice, “You guys can’t do this. The Dragon Whale Clan experts are watching from across the lake. If you guys do it, they will spread what happened, and there will be public outrage!”

“Hehe, Dragon Whale Clan? Don’t worry, none of them will be able to escape as well when we leave!”

Bao Ya’s expression was chillingly sinister, and his eyes were filled with hatred. The mere mention of the Dragon Whale Clan filled him with seething hot rage. He was still unable to get over how the Gold Treasure Tree sapling that they were about to obtain was snatched away at the last moment!

How could Bao Ya not be resentful?

“Eh, there’s a herb field on the island! Although it looks abandoned, there are still several herbs growing on it!”

Suddenly, Shi Jun noticed a herb field at the foot of the mountain nearby.

It was an extremely magical sight to behold. The field was being irrigated by the flames from the lava lake, which dyed the soil a gorgeous flame-red as hot steam rose from within.

No one had noticed it earlier because of the steam.

On closer inspection, one would discover a few scattered herbs amidst the flame-red soil!

One was shaped like a Qilin and glowed a verdant green. It was Qilin Grass, a peerless herb that had already gone extinct in the outside world. It was a herb that even Life Death Stage Kings would go crazy with desire for!

One was shaped like ginseng, but had crystal-like fruits growing from it instead of roots. The fruits were bright red, shaped like small lanterns, and gleamed with divine light.

It was called a ‘Treasure Lantern King Ginseng’!

The sight of the herb made the Blood Lion Clan experts' breathing grow heavier as their eyes turned red with greed.

A single drop of juice from the Treasure Lantern King Ginseng could regrow even flesh from bone! No matter how serious the injury, one would instantly recover after consuming a single drop!

Even Lin Xun was shaken by the discovery. For the Treasure Lantern King Ginseng, each lantern represented a thousand years. Since this particular specimen had at least eighteen lantern-like fruits, wouldn’t that mean that it had been growing for eighteen thousand years?

The Qilin Grass was also extraordinary and could work unimaginable wonders during cultivation sessions.

There were also several other herbs in the field, each clearly of superior quality and flowing with treasure light as they gave off enticing fragrances.

Gulp gulp~

Everyone swallowed in unison. Both the Blood Lion Clan experts and the captured cultivators were entranced by the herbs in the field.

Even without ascending the mountain, this herb field alone was already considered an amazing find.

“You, go pick one of those herbs. If you succeed, we’ll spare your life!”

Bao Ya suddenly said. He had noticed that although the herbs were tempting, the field was covered in dangerous and intimidating restriction power.

“I…” The cultivator was taken aback. He soon returned to his senses as his expression turned ugly. The Blood Lion Clan experts were sending them to their deaths again!

“Hm, is there something you want to say?”

Bao Ya’s eyes gleamed sinisterly as killing intent swirled within them.

The cultivator felt angry and sullen, but had no choice but to carefully approach the field. He did not enter. Instead, he tried to grab one of the herbs from a distance away.

Boom!

However, a rain of light suddenly surged out from the field. It not only neutralized his palm-force, but also enveloped him and instantly melted him into a puddle of blood.

Hiss!

Everyone gasped as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads. They now realized that the restriction covering the field was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

By this juncture, only three captured cultivators remained, including Lin Xun. The sight made them feel pity for each other and despair.

“You go. Remember, don’t use any power.”

Bao Ya picked another cultivator.

The cultivator gritted his teeth and unexpectedly dashed toward the purple gold mountain with a roar.

“You’re courting death!”

Bao Ya swung his spear and cut down the person with brutal ruthlessness.

Now, only Lin Xun and another cultivator remained. There was no doubt that they would be next.

“Kid, hand over that bow of yours first!” Shi Jun suddenly looked at Lin Xun. He was still unable to forget the bow even at this juncture.

“You guys have gone too far. Since that’s the case, how about I send you guys off?”

Lin Xun’s expression was calm. He had been holding back because he wanted first to observe the situation and the restriction power on the island.

However, it was clear that this battle was already unavoidable.

“What did you say?”

Shi Jun was nearly unable to believe his ears. Where did this human Spirit Sea youngster get the guts to say such words? Could he have gone crazy?

“I said that I’ll be sending you guys off!”

Lin Xun suddenly flung several specks of black over as he spoke.

They were the God Devourer Insects that had been sealed. However, calamity was certain to befall when they awakened!

Clang!

Meanwhile, the Broken Blade appeared amidst a spray of light.

“You’re courting death!”

Shi Yu laughed in anger as he swung his white bone blade to meet the attack.

However, something unexpected happened next. Shi Jun’s white bone blade was severed in a single strike as if it were as weak as paper.

Shlick!

Soon after, Shi Yu’s head was effortlessly lopped off, sending out a spray of blood that colored the air red.

“What!?”

Everyone cried out in alarm, not daring to believe their eyes. How the hell was this Spirit Sea youngster so strong?

After all, Shi Yu was one of the more outstanding younger generation members of the Blood Lion Clan and possessed Heaven Ascension cultivation. Who could have imagined that he would be beheaded in a single swing by a Spirit Sea youngster?

It was simply inconceivable!

“Quickly, kill him!”

Bao Ya bellowed as his hair danced around him.

However, his roar was quickly cut short because a black blur had arrived and burrowed into his mind-sea.

Indescribably intense pain spread from his spirit, causing Bao Ya’s expression to change drastically as he screamed in agony.

Meanwhile, several other Blood Lion Clan experts had also succumbed to similar attacks.

They had not expected the God Devourer Insects to be so bizarre and unblockable. As a result, their mind-seas were immediately assaulted.

For a time, screams filled the air as chaos descended. Numerous Blood Lion experts had been caught off guard before they could react.

Lin Xun naturally took this opportunity to begin the slaughter.

Rumble!

With the Horned Ice Dragon Step, he surged forth like the mist as radiant starlight flowed from the Broken Blade.

Plop plop plop~

Six Blood Lion Clan experts were slain in an instant, splattering a rain of blood into the air as they died.

The frightening scene made everyone’s hair stand on end.

One of the Blood Lion Clan experts screamed, “Everyone, attack together and kill him!”

Rumble!

Lin Xun went all out, causing light to rise from him like steam. He displayed peerless battle power that easily swept through everyone in his way like a young demon god.

Bao Ya angrily roared, “Useless trash, there are so many of you, but why are you all unable to stop a single person?”

The Blood Lion Clan experts tried to swarm Lin Xun. However, the difference between both sides was far too big.

Although Lin Xun’s cultivation was at the Spirit Sea stage, the Broken Blade and Hornless Ice Dragon Step made his offensive power shockingly oppressive. With a single slash, he would instantly slice a Heaven Ascension expert in half, making blood rain down even heavier.

What kind of person is this?

Everyone was stricken by terror.

Rumble!

Someone suddenly attacked from behind. However, Lin Xun did not avoid it, but instead counterattacked with the Bixi Collision, causing his back to swell like a giant dragon as terrifying power erupted.

The attacker was instantly blown to bits as if a barbaric ancient dragon had rammed into him. It was a horrifying sight to behold.

Since Saintess Lin Lang wasn’t present, the only one who could threaten Lin Xun was Bao Ya. He was an older generation expert with advanced Heaven Ascension cultivation and was frighteningly ruthless, making him an extremely formidable opponent.

Fortunately, his spirit had sustained grave injuries and was still being assaulted by the God Devourer Insects, making it difficult for him to bring out his true combat capabilities.

Under these circumstances, Lin Xun naturally had nothing to fear. He charged in like a dragon into a pack of wolves, mowing down anyone in his path.

……

On the other side of the lava lake.

The Dragon Whale Clan experts were gathered around their leader, Saint Yu Xiaosheng, like stars surrounding a moon.

One of the experts said in a low voice, “Saint, Lin Lang has already begun ascending the sacred mountain. If we don’t get a move on, the treasures will be taken by her.”

“Hehe, there’s no need. We only have to wait here because Lin Lang is already a caged bird. No matter what treasures she obtains, they will all end up in our hands.”

Yu Xiaosheng softly chuckled, his expression filled with confidence. “Since that’s the case, why should we risk our lives? We can just wait for her to bring the treasure back to us!”

The crowd immediately laughed.

Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm, “Look Saint, the Blood Lion Clan experts are clashing with a human youngster!”

Everyone looked over and was immediately drawn in.

Yu Xiaosheng suddenly asked, “Who is that human youngster?”

He was unable to remain composed. A single Spirit Sea youngster was somehow able to easily slaughter the Blood Lion Clan experts without any resistance. It just didn’t make any sense.

One of the Dragon Whale Clan experts answered in an uncertain manner, “He seems to be from Spirit Treasure Holy Land.”

“Spirit Treasure Holy Land?”

Yu Xiaosheng’s eyes flickered as he fell into deep thought.

……

Boom!

On the island at the center of the lava lake, Lin Xun’s eyes shone piercingly as his black hair danced around him.

In the end, even the older generation Heaven Ascension expert, Bao Ya, failed to survive and was killed by Lin Xun’s Moon-Catch technique.

However, he was soon surprised because multi-colored light then rose from Bao Ya’s body and flew away!

Similar situations occurred again in the subsequent battle. The bodies of several Blood Lion Clan experts were also carried away by multi-colored light after they were killed.

A protective measure like the Golden Cicada Talisman?

Lin Xun’s eyes flickered. Although it wasn’t the result he hoped for, he knew that it was difficult for him to do anything about it.

However, an idea suddenly struck Lin Xun, and he brought out the Four Coiling Dragon Pillars.
