811 Change in the Situation (1/2)
With regards to Spirit Emblems, they were not foreign to Lin Dong. Back whenhe was participating in the Hundred Empire War, Su Ruo had obtained such anitem before. A couple of days earlier, Ling Qingzhu had also obtained a SpiritEmblem at the bottom of the Supreme Purity Celestial Pond.
Despite Lin Dong’s usual calmness, he still greatly coveted this thing. ASpirit Emblem could only be formed when an extremely powerful expert died.Gathered within the Spirit Emblem, was the vast amount of energy that belongedto the powerful expert when he was alive. In other words, it could beconsidered as an extremely unique natural treasure. However, this treasure usedhumans as its most basic ingredient.
A Spirit Emblem was void of any intelligence. Normally speaking, it would relyon its own instincts to find a person with the highest likelihood of mergingwith it. An example was what occurred at the Supreme Purity Celestial Pond. TheSpirit Emblem chose Ling Qingzhu and not Lin Dong. This caused the latter tofeel exceptionally helpless. Although he might be able to forcefully snatch itaway, something that was obtained reluctantly would have difficulty attainingthe most perfect effect.
The owner of a Spirit Emblem might not match up to a reincarnator, but itbrought tremendous benefits. After all, a Reincarnation stage expert was quiterare even during ancient times. Over the years, Lin Dong only knew onereincarnator, and that was Ying Huanhuan.
On the other hand, Spirit Emblems were much more plentiful. Of course, onewould require a great amount of luck in order to obtain one. At the very least,Lin Dong, who had coveted this object for a long time, had never obtained one…
The Spirit Emblem contained an extremely vast amount of pure energy. Thisenergy would gradually merge into the body of its holder as his strength rose.The training progress of those who possess a Spirit Emblem would also be muchfaster compared to ordinary people. Additionally, during certain emergencies,one would be able to activate the strength of the Spirit Emblem to temporarilyboost one’s strength in order to get through a dangerous situation.
It was rumoured that in other regions that were even larger than the EasternXuan Region, even Spirit Emblems would be auctioned at some extremelylarge-scale auctions. However… the price one had to pay would likely be quiteterrifying.
From this, it was possible to see that this item known as the Spirit Emblemwas rather rare. Therefore, explaining how shocked Lin Dong was when he saw aSpirit Emblem surfacing on Yuan Cang forehead.
“I never imagined that Yuan Cang possesses a Spirit Emblem.”
Wu Qun enviously looked towards the sky from the mountain top. Immediately, heglanced at Su Ruo beside him. His status was quite high amongst the disciplesof Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace, and he was naturally aware of certaininformation. One example was the fact that Su Ruo was also in possession of aSpirit Emblem.
“No wonder this fellow was able to become one of the most outstanding youngergeneration members in Eastern Xuan Region. It turns out that he has a SpiritEmblem assisting him. How unfair!” Su Ruo’s little face was a little ugly asshe spoke in an indignant manner. As someone who also possessed a SpiritEmblem, she was clearly aware of just how advantageous this thing was whentraining. From the situation, it was obvious that Yuan Cang had activated theSpirit Emblem’s power. With this, things would undoubtedly become rathertroublesome for Lin Dong.
Wu Qun involuntarily felt a little helpless when he saw Su Ruo’s indignantexpression. He really wanted to remind her; did you forget that you alsopossess such a thing in your body… Where could one find absolute fairness inthis world. At times, having the luck to obtain a Spirit Emblem was also a kindof strength that belonged to oneself.
“However, Lin Dong is likely going to be in danger now…” Wu Qun lifted hishead and looked at the distant young figure standing atop the crimson cauldron.His eyes contained some admiration. Regardless of the result, Lin Dong’sreputation would definitely soar within the Eastern Xuan Region. With the eightYuan Nirvana stage strength, he was actually able to force the initial ProfoundLife stage Yuan Cang to such a state. Such ability was truly stunning.
To the side, extremely faint worry flashed across Ling Qingzhu’s eyes.Although Lin Dong had numerous methods he could employ, there was still a largegap between him and Yuan Cang. If Lin Dong had not relied on the GreatDesolation Scripture to absorb the life force energy from within a dozen miles,he would perhaps be unable to fight with Yuan Cang to such an extent. Now thatYuan Cang had revealed his final trump card, activating the Spirit Emblem, hisstrength had soared tremendously. Lin Dong’s current situation was clearly arather worrying.
The entire place clearly trembled slightly because of the Spirit Emblem thatYuan Cang had activated. At the Dao Sect area, the faces of Ying Xiaoxiao andthe rest began to lose their joy. In its place was an extremely worriedexpression. The change in the situation was a little too quick…
“He was forced to fully activate it in the end…” Ling Zhen gazed at the skyand smiled faintly. “Looks like the battle is going to be over soon.”
“Earlier, even Chen Gui only managed to force boss to use a sliver of hisSpirit Emblem power. Now that his Spirit Emblem is fully activated, Lin Dongwill definitely die.” Lei Qian laughed in a sinister manner.
“Once Lin Dong is killed, Dao Sect will definitely fall into disarray.Previously, I have not killed to my heart’s satisfaction. It is just as wellthat we can do anything we want here. This time around, let’s kill a few more.We will kill them until the Dao Sect disciples will wet themselves when theysee our Yuan Gate disciples in future!” Lei Qian laughed heartily. His laughterwas filled with a perverse killing desire.
Ominous glints flickered in the eyes of the surrounding Yuan Gate discipleswhen they heard this. All of them grinned evilly as they nodded.
……
“Spirit Emblem huh… how unexpected…” In the sky, Lin Dong deeply breathed in.He gazed at the flickering light emblem on Yuan Cang’s head as he spoke.
“Tell me… how do you want me to kill you?”
Yuan Cang patted his somewhat tattered clothes. His current image was a littleragged, and this caused a murderous desire to swiftly gather in his eyes. Hestared at Lin Dong and smiled. His smile was filled with malevolence that couldnot be hidden.
An icy look flashed across Lin Dong’s eyes when he heard this. However, beforehe could speak, his pupils slightly contracted as his body pulled back.
Swoosh!
The space in front of Lin Dong became distorted the moment he withdrew. Aghost like figure had already appeared. The metal sword in his hand wasaccompanied by an extremely formidable sword aura as it pierced towards LinDong’s throat at lightning speed.
Yuan Cang’s speed was even fiercer and quicker than earlier. With a swordslashing at him, Lin Dong did not have any time to dodge. Both of his handsquickly crossed each other and guarded in front of his throat.
Chi!
The metal sword hacked at Lin Dong’s arms. However, no sparks appeared thistime around. A bloody wound directly appeared on Lin Dong’s arm, as fresh bloodcame flowing out.
Clearly, Yuan Cang’s strength had soared after activating the Spirit Emblem.His formidable attack was actually able to break Lin Dong’s powerful defences.
