Chapter 182 - : Isnt it Great to Be Alive? (1/2)

If he had come to Qingshan town before fully understanding all the details about Zhou Donghuang, Lin Hantian would have been quite threatened by Zhou Donghuang.

However, now that he had come to Qingshan town, fully cognizant of Zhou Donghuang’s background, he could only think that this Zhou Donghuang was a very lucky man.

He could only become the man he was today, because of the essence left behind by a mighty adept who was a Primordial Soul adept, or more.

As for the murder of the Divine Light Sect’s 17th elder, Liu Xuanyu, at the Black Market, he thought it was nothing but a coincidence and had nothing to do with Zhou Donghuang.

Liu Xuanyu was a mid Primal Core adept after all, and even if that was not much compared to what he was now, it would not have been possible for Zhou Donghuang and the early Primal Core stage adept who was with him to have killed him quite so easily.

“Isn’t it good to be alive?”

Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhou Donghuang cast a lazy glance at Lin Hantian, shaking his head and sighing.

Everyone who was watching him, including Lin Hantian, were invariably stunned by Zhou Donghuang’s words.

In that instant, Lin Hantian seemed to return to his senses once more. His eyes filled with cold, murderous intent, and he called out, “Zhou Donghuang, you little brat, barely weaned from your mother’s breast, you have absolutely no say over what becomes of me, Lin Hantian, my life or death!”

“Is that so?”

The fan in Zhou Donghuang’s hand trembled a little, and in the blink of an eye, it shot out like a flash of lightning.

Before Lin Hantian had time to keep up his defenses, the 18 bones that made up the structure of the folding fan spread out like 18 lethal sword blades, suspended above Lin Hantian’s head.

“A spirit weapon?!”

Perceiving the energy that was being transmitted through the fan bones, Lin Hantian’s face froze for a minute, then his eyes became more and more radiant, and their inherent greed became more intense.

“Zhou Donghuang, I never would have thought that you would possess a spirit weapon… I, Lin Hantian, will claim this weapon as my own!”

As soon as Lin Hantian’s voice fell, he rose into the air like a gust of wind. While his hands were raised, a vast amount of white inner Yuan emanated from his body like a torrent and seemed to transfigure into a giant beast, its large jaws wide open and ready to swallow whole the eighteen blades that surrounded him in mid-air.

“This Zhou Donghuang is but an early Primal Core adept, to think he would be so presumptuous as to dare challenge a mid Primal Core adept… He is just courting his own death!”

Now, as Yang Yunji seemed to have sobered up from the shock of realizing that Zhou Donghuang had entered the Primal Core stage, his face was full of mocking pleasure as he surveyed the fight between Zhou Donghuang and Lin Hantian.

Seeing that Lin Hantian coveted and wanted to forcibly take hold of his spirit weapon, Zhou Donghuang’s eyes were as calm as ever, but the corner of his lips involuntarily raised with the slightest sign of disdain.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

Under the gaze of everyone, the eighteen fan blades, like sharp daggers, moved in unison, turning into a rain of swords and whistled in the direction towards Yang Yunji.

As the swords started to rain down upon him, closing in on him, Lin Hantian could feel the terrible energy contained within the deathly blades.

Even though this was but the inner Yuan of an early Primal Core adept, the amount of power that it seemed to contain, was way beyond that which his own inner yuan could ever produce on its own.

“This is not possible!”

Between these flashes of lightning, Lin Hantian’s first thought was, “Impossible! There must be a cover-up here! How could an early Primal Core adept ever compete with me, Lin Hantian?”

However, as the rain of swords fell upon him and collided with the giant beast formed of his own essence, he felt the pressure of his energy being crushed.

Even at this moment, he just felt as if he was about to suffocate.

The smell of his own death closing in on him was also eminent.

“No!”

“No!”

“I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”

On the brink of death, Lin Hantian’s pupils rounded with intensity, trying to urge every bit of inner Yuan from his body to fights as best as he could to stop the rain of blades that seemed to cover the sky around him.

Crash!

Crash! Bang! Bang!

…

However, as the terror of swords rained from the sky, and even with Lin Hantian doing his utmost best, he was still unable to resist the attack, and his face became red with anxiety. Blood started to flow from his eyes from the strain.

“No!”

“No!”

Before Lin Hantian’s inner voice could scream out any further, the white rays of light around his body started to rise in an instant, and earth-shaking changes started to take place.

And they became…

Silver in color!

“Hahahaha… Hahahaha…”

Lin Hantian, who was still desperate at the close call with death a moment ago, laughed wildly for a moment.

At the same time, the milky white rays of inner Yuan that once resisted the rain of swords was replaced by silver Yuan in an instant, and it blocked any further attacks from the blades in one fell swoop.

“What a breakthrough.”

The scene before him surprised Zhou Donghuang, but at the same time, he realized that although Lin Hantian was only a mid Primal Core adept, he would have been infinitely close to reaching the next level.

This time, under the oppressive force he was raining upon him, and on the brink of death, Lin Hantian took advantage of this opportunity to make a breakthrough, and entered into the late Primal Core stage, to become a Silver Essence adept.

“This is… a late Primal Core adept?”

Just now, Yang Yunji had thought that Lin Hantian was finished, and his eyes started to show an increasing amount of despair. If Lin Hantian was done, he would definitely not end well.

After all, Lin Hantian had brought him to Qingshan town himself.

But now, seeing that Lin Hantian’s inner Yuan had turned to silver, he realized that Lin Hantian had entered the late Primal Core stage and became an even stronger Primal Core adept!
