The stone dragon roared, soaring into the sky with astonishing force, shattering the thick clouds.
"ah……"
The next moment, a shrill scream resounded through the sky. From the shattered clouds, a figure fell from the sky, covered in blood, and crashed heavily onto the cliff below, then died without any life.
His pupils were wide open, his eyes were bloodshot, and the fear before his death was written all over his face, making him look extremely ferocious.
A deathly silence fell over the cliff.
There were twelve figures around. These people suspected that Lin Xuan was not dead, so they chose to stay and wait for him to come out. Their speculation came true. Lin Xuan was indeed not dead, and he did not make them wait long before he came out.
However, there was one thing they hadn't considered: Lin Xuan wasn't dead, but his strength far exceeded their expectations.
There were thirteen of them left behind. The moment Lin Xuan came out, one of them launched a sneak attack. This person was strong enough to rank among the top three of the thirteen, but he was killed by Lin Xuan with a single punch despite the sneak attack.
This is terrifying, proving that Lin Xuan's strength is far, far greater than theirs, and they are not even in the same league.
“An immortal… he’s not some junior, he should be an earth immortal.”
“That’s right. The power of that punch just now could not be delivered by someone at the Celestial Realm level; only an immortal could do it.”
The twelve people's expressions changed simultaneously, and a sharp glint appeared in their eyes as they communicated telepathically.
Whoosh!
Just then, someone suddenly moved, fleeing into the distance without hesitation, running away. Lin Xuan was too strong; they were no match for him. If they didn't escape now, staying would be suicide. They didn't expect Lin Xuan to take pity on them and let them go.
At this moment, Lin Xuan was checking the system information. He had just killed a peak Celestial Realm expert with a single punch, and the system notification came immediately.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for slaying a peak Celestial Realm expert. You have gained 8290 Luck Points and a low-grade Earth-level martial skill...]
After quickly scanning through the series of messages, Lin Xuan was immediately frustrated.
Forget about those strange and unusual rewards; they're mostly worthless, at least for Lin Xuan right now, something he was prepared for. What really frustrated him was that his luck points had also decreased significantly, leaving him with only a little over eight thousand.
That's going a bit too far.
Before, no matter what, it would still exceed 10,000, but now it's only a little over 8,000. If this continues, when his cultivation advances further and he becomes a peak Celestial Being, wouldn't he only have 3,000 to 5,000?
"Damn this dog system!"
Lin Xuan felt a toothache and silently cursed the system.
At that moment, the twelve powerful figures who had originally intended to attack him fled almost simultaneously, immediately pulling Lin Xuan's mind back to reality.
"Trying to escape? Did you even ask me first?!"
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with killing intent, and with a shout, he unleashed a superior-grade divine power, sealing the surrounding space in an instant.
The twelve powerful figures were simultaneously imprisoned in mid-air, motionless.
"Damn it, how could this be? It can actually solidify the void. What kind of technique is this?"
"What a terrifying secret technique! It's as if the blood in my body has stopped flowing."
"No... I don't want to die, break through..."
...
At this moment, the twelve people's expressions changed drastically. They roared angrily in their hearts, unleashing their power to the extreme, trying to forcefully break through this terrifying sealing power. Unfortunately, they could do nothing, because all their attacks were like ants trying to shake a tree in the face of Lin Xuan's sealing divine power.
Clang...
Just then, Lin Xuan suddenly moved, drew his long sword, and slashed out.
Ten Directions Martial Arts: Slay all living beings!
The blade flashed like thunder, splitting into twelve, simultaneously unleashing twelve streaks that instantly sliced through the sky, striking the twelve powerful figures. The astonishing blade energy, radiating boundless sharpness, tore their bodies apart.
The terrifying sword intent seeped into their bodies, and in the next instant, the bodies of the twelve powerful individuals exploded with a bang.
They never imagined they would die such a pathetic death; their eyes were filled with regret and resentment.
If they could choose again, they would definitely not choose to stay.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for slaying a Celestial Tribulation Breaking Realm expert. You have gained 5402 Luck Points and...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have killed a peak Celestial Realm expert and gained 8310 Luck Points. You have also obtained...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for slaying a Celestial Tribulation Breaking Realm early stage expert, gaining 4590 Luck Points, and obtaining...]
...
A series of system notifications refreshed, and Lin Xuan glanced at them, a wry smile on his face.
Sure enough, there wasn't anything good there; it was mostly just martial arts techniques, cultivation methods, and various resources. As for the supernatural abilities, secret arts, or powerful spiritual treasures and rare artifacts he wanted, there wasn't even a trace of them.
Lin Xuan now felt a little nostalgic for the old days, when killing a few people would easily yield a divine ability or the essence of a divine beast. Unfortunately, those good days were gone forever.
Lin Xuan guessed that the reason he had such good luck before was probably because of the system's protection for newcomers.
This is considered a perk for new players.
Now that his strength has increased dramatically and his cultivation has reached the Celestial Realm, his combat power is enough to kill gods and immortals. Naturally, the system no longer provides protection for newbies, which naturally increases the difficulty of obtaining good items.
Anyone who has played online games knows that after leaving the starting village, both the level of danger and the drop rate decrease dramatically. The difference is enough to make you question your existence.
Compared to this, the system is still considered good; at least it hasn't reached that outrageous level.
"Well, these things aren't very valuable, but they're still somewhat useful. They can be helpful in perfecting my Ten Directions Martial Arts and Ten Directions Dao Scripture. As for various resources, they can be used to train my subordinates..."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming. He glanced at the horizon and then immediately took to the air, heading towards his next target.
People from various sects and forces have arrived ahead of time, so he needs to speed things up and seize the remaining opportunities.
As planned, we'll forgo some smaller opportunities and focus on the bigger ones first. After all, at this stage, failing to prioritize could lead to greater losses in the end.
Most importantly, time is of the essence.
If an immortal enters this Crimson Moon Grotto, the true great opportunity in the core area will soon emerge.
Lin Xuan was no saint; he naturally wanted a share of the greatest opportunity in the core of the Crimson Moon Cave.
But there's no rush now, since the core area isn't easy to enter.
All sorts of deadly traps are everywhere. If you don't have the strength to go there, you're just going to your death. Let the others fly for a while first!
