Inside the spatial artifact, a black bead floated in the center, radiating a powerful malevolent aura.
The gift from Nine-Dragon was actually a dragon pearl.
Lin Yun knew the importance of the Dragon Ball to the Dragon Clan. It was practically a second life for the Dragon Clan and could be used as their natal magic weapon. At crucial moments, using the Dragon Ball would greatly increase their strength, but losing it would also severely damage their vitality, making it difficult to recover... This Dragon Ball was exactly the same as the one that Nine-Striped Dragon had just used, which made Lin Yun subconsciously think that this Dragon Ball was Nine-Striped Dragon's Dragon Ball. How could he not be surprised?
This Nine-Dragon is too ruthless to himself!
However, Lin Yun soon discovered that this dragon ball was somewhat different from the black dragon ball that Nine-Striped Dragon had just used. First, the level of this black dragon ball was lower than that of Nine-Striped Dragon's dragon ball. Second, the aura of the dragon ball was also the biggest difference.
The two are different, proving that this dragon ball does not belong to the Nine-Striped Dragon, but should belong to another dragon clan.
However, Lin Yun was still somewhat surprised. As a member of the dragon race, Nine-Striped Dragon actually gave him the dragon pearl of a powerful member of his own race. This was not something an ordinary dragon could do. Wasn't he afraid that the powerful member of his own race would have a problem with him?
"By the way, it seems the Nine-Striped Dragon's relationship with its clansmen isn't very good..."
Just then, Lin Yun suddenly remembered some information about the Nine-Striped Dragon and suddenly realized something.
That being said...
Dragons are known for being incredibly valuable, far surpassing other star beasts of the same level. Dragon balls, being the second life form of dragons, are also extremely powerful.
The first step is body tempering.
It is said that using Dragon Balls to train the body has extremely strong effects, as well as many other miraculous benefits.
"On the Cosmic Trading System, someone used one hundred trillion Spirit Crystals to acquire a Dragon Ball at the peak of level twelve. This Dragon Ball should be a Super Realm Dragon Ball, and its value is dozens or even hundreds of times that of a peak level twelve Dragon Ball..."
Lin Yun searched the Cosmic Trading System and took a deep breath.
The dragon race truly lives up to its reputation as a race full of treasures. He hadn't expected the dragon pearl to be so valuable. This single dragon pearl was worth almost dozens or even hundreds of drops of super golden essence liquid. This was an incredibly terrifying fortune.
You get what you pay for; this Dragon Ball should be extremely powerful.
Most importantly, Lin Yun has used the Super Golden Source Liquid before, and if he uses it again, his body will develop some resistance, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the Super Golden Source Liquid. If he were to use the Dragon Ball instead, the effect would be extremely powerful.
"You're too kind, sir. Let's let bygones be bygones." Lin Yun looked at Nine-Dragon and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin, thank you, Young Master Lin." Seeing Lin Yun say this, Nine-Tattooed Dragon breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly, expressing his gratitude.
As he spoke, Nine-Tattooed Dragon felt a pang of heartache.
He obtained that Dragon Ball years ago, but he never used it, intending to use it when he tried to break through to the third level of the Super Realm. Now... that plan has fallen through.
However, when he thought that the dragon ball was given to Lin Yun to resolve the grudges between them, he felt slightly relieved.
Even if he breaks through to the third level of the Super Realm, he is not confident in fighting against the powerful background behind Lin Yun, as well as the giant super golden beast behind Lin Yun.
It's good that this dragon ball has now resolved his feud with Lin Yun.
Even without this Dragon Ball, he could still collect other rare and precious materials to break through to the third level of the Super Realm.
His feud with Lin Yun was not so easy to resolve.
Lin Yun put away the two gifts and turned to look at Venerable Ling Yuan.
"Young Master Lin..."
Venerable Lingyuan bowed again, speaking with great respect.
“My friend is trying to break through to the Super Realm here. You attacked us without cause. Now, I’m going to cut off half of your cultivation. Are you satisfied?” Lin Yun said coldly.
"Um?"
Venerable Lingyuan was taken aback.
Cut off half of his cultivation? How do you do that?
However, he quickly realized that no matter how Lin Yun intended to kill him, Lin Yun's words meant that he intended to spare his life. His life was saved, and he immediately felt extremely excited and relieved.
As long as he can save his life, what does it matter if he loses half of his cultivation?
He can recover his cultivation level.
If you lose your life, you're really gone.
"I am willing, I am willing, I am completely convinced. Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your great kindness and for not holding a grudge against me." Venerable Ling Yuan hurriedly bowed and said with tears of gratitude.
"good."
Lin Yun nodded.
"Buzz—"
The next moment, Lin Yun flicked his blood-red longsword and swiftly slashed towards Venerable Ling Yuan.
"this--"
Seeing the blood-red longsword radiating powerful killing intent slashing towards him, Venerable Lingyuan's expression changed drastically, and his heart trembled.
His powerful senses allowed him to perceive that the attack from this blood-red longsword was extremely powerful. If it were to strike him directly, he would likely be severely injured, even if he didn't die.
For a moment, he almost thought that Lin Yun had just been playing a trick on him, and that Lin Yun's sword was meant to kill him.
He instinctively tried to dodge, but he found he couldn't move an inch and could only watch helplessly as the blood-red longsword in Lin Yun's hand fell toward him, filling him with extreme fear.
"This is?"
"Is Lin Yun trying to cut off his cultivation? No! The killing intent on that blood-red longsword is extremely strong. Could it be that he wants to kill him? But what Lin Yun just said..."
The surrounding powerful figures paled upon seeing this scene and exclaimed in surprise.
"laugh!"
Just then, the blood-red longsword in Lin Yun's hand landed on Venerable Ling Yuan.
In an instant, he cleaved Venerable Lingyuan in two from head to toe.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
At the same time, the crimson longsword in Lin Yun's hand shone brightly, vibrating rapidly and joyfully.
"Is the Bloodthirsty Sword sucking blood?"
"That bloodthirsty sword..."
Many powerful figures around them trembled inwardly, their hearts pounding.
Could it be that Lin Yun has truly fallen into the demonic path, like that old Nan, and started killing and sucking blood?
Despite saying that, no one dared to lay a hand on Lin Yun.
This is the power of a strong background.
If that's the case, they wouldn't care what Nan Weng's purpose was; they would have attacked together long ago.
"ah--"
Although Venerable Lingyuan was cut in two by Lin Yun's sword, his special and powerful vitality as a super strong person prevented him from dying.
However, the process of having one's life essence absorbed by external objects is extremely painful. In particular, the process of death getting closer and closer is terrifying. Venerable Lingyuan cried out in shock and fear.
He struggled with all his might, but he couldn't break free at all, which terrified him to the extreme.
Lin Yun's strength far exceeded his expectations.
He hadn't expected that Lin Yun, who was only at the peak of level twelve, would possess such terrifying strength.
Had he known this would happen, even if Lin Yun and that little super golden beast didn't have a powerful background, he would never have dared to provoke them.
Whew! Whew!
As the Bloodthirsty Sword in Lin Yun's hand absorbed the blood from Ling Yuan Venerable's body, Lin Yun's entire body shone with a bloody light, and his aura grew stronger and stronger.
His strength is increasing.
"Buzz—"
This process lasted for about a dozen breaths before Lin Yun suddenly withdrew the Bloodthirsty Sword, bringing the entire process to an abrupt end.
As Lin Yun retrieved the Bloodthirsty Sword, the body of Venerable Ling Yuan, which had been severed in two, began to rapidly come together and slowly recover.
A red line appeared from his forehead to his body, which looked terrifying.
No more, no less; the aura emanating from Venerable Lingyuan was only half of what it had been before.
This seemingly superficial absorption of essence and blood actually involves more than just absorbing essence and blood; it also absorbs a person's vital energy and spirit, causing a person's strength to truly decline and become difficult to recover. Lin Yun had already discovered this.
It is precisely because of this that the Bloodthirsty Sword can plunder the enemy's essence and blood to increase its own strength, and there are few instances of its cultivation level being unstable.
The Bloodthirsty Sword possesses the ability to plunder the essence of others and make it its own; this plunder is all-encompassing.
Venerable Lingyuan collapsed, hovering in the starry sky on instinct, as if all his strength had vanished in an instant.
Venerable Lingyuan looked up at Lin Yun with a look of horror, as if he were looking at a demon.
Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect Lin Yun to take away his cultivation in this way.
Lin Yun... could actually steal someone's cultivation.
Soon, Venerable Lingyuan felt a surge of excitement.
He has already lost his cultivation, so he absolutely cannot afford to offend Lin Yun again.
Otherwise, all the losses he just suffered would have been for nothing.
Moreover, it's a suicidal act.
After witnessing Lin Yun's power, his fear of Lin Yun deepened.
Lin Yun didn't need to rely on his background or invite other powerful figures to deal with him; he could kill him all by himself.
This feeling was a complex mix of fear and admiration.
"Thank you so much, Young Master Lin, for sparing my life. You are so kind..."
With his cultivation reduced by half, Venerable Lingyuan's recovery ability also decreased significantly. It took him quite a while for his body to recover to a decent state. He bowed deeply to Lin Yun again, his head bowed low, and said in a humble tone.
"This matter ends here. If you wish to take revenge in the future, I'm ready anytime," Lin Yun nodded and said calmly.
Not killing Venerable Ling Yuan was not out of mercy.
Rather, his current identity is sensitive, and he doesn't want to give people the impression of being bloodthirsty.
Furthermore, he also plans to participate in the Heavenly Fruit Competition.
The Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition is a competition held by the human race. He has just killed a super strong human, and he is afraid that it will affect his participation in the Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition.
"No, no, Ling Yuan would never dare. This was Ling Yuan's fault. From now on, Ling Yuan will be careful and will never dare to attack people casually again," Venerable Ling Yuan said in a panic.
Are you afraid to attack someone casually?
In other words, they're still going to take action against people?
But... perhaps we should investigate the other party thoroughly and see if we can provoke them before deciding whether to take action?
Lin Yun glanced at Venerable Ling Yuan.
They didn't point out any flaws in what the other person said, nor did they try to guess what the other person actually meant.
That's not important.
call!
Lin Yun turned and dashed towards Xiao Jin.
"Xiao Jin, let's go back," Lin Yun said.
"roar--"
Little Jin let out a soft roar.
call!
The next moment, the man and the beast flashed towards Xiao Chong's warship not far away.
He ignored all the powerful figures around him, whether they were ordinary or super-powerful.
"This Lin Yun..."
"To be able to control the killing intent of the Bloodthirsty Sword and not kill Venerable Ling Yuan, it seems that Lin Yun's will is extremely firm..."
"As expected of someone capable of killing Nan Weng..."
"As expected of someone with a great connection to the Immortal Origin Holy Land..."
Some powerful figures witnessed this scene and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
Lin Yun's decision not to kill Ling Yuan Venerable immediately earned him the respect of many.
Few of the powerful figures around were innocent and naive.
Previously, some people were unclear about the reason for the conflict between Lin Yun and Xiao Jin and Venerable Ling Yuan.
Seeing that Xiao Jin and Venerable Ling Yuan were fighting, some super strong people were very wary of Lin Yun's identity and dared not intervene, which made some people feel repulsed.
Later, the reason for the conflict between Lin Yun, Xiao Jin, and Venerable Ling Yuan became known.
Most people couldn't help but feel that Venerable Lingyuan had really brought this upon himself.
Furthermore, Lin Yun is also a powerful human, which makes people feel a sense of identification with him.
Lin Yun's demonstrated strength has earned him the respect of many.
Finally, Lin Yun's magnanimity earned him the admiration of many.
There aren't many strong individuals who possess such power and influence, yet are willing to be so magnanimous.
"Venerable Lingyuan is truly blessed..."
"Yes, he was about to be killed by Donghuang and Jiuwenlong, but Lin Yun saved him. He only lost half of his cultivation. That's quite generous..."
"Great, very grand!"
"Speaking of Donghuang and Jiuwenlong, they are truly... disappointing. I never expected them to be such bullies. We had such high hopes for them before, but they are far inferior to that Lin Yun..."
Some people sighed.
Starry sky.
"Let's go, let's go. Today's events have been quite an eye-opener. Now that this matter is over, it's time to leave."
“Indeed, Donghuang and Jiuwenlong have lost face today. If they see us here later, they might hold a grudge against us. Let’s get out of here quickly.”
Several super-strong individuals spoke up.
Whew! Whew!
As they were talking, some of the most powerful individuals left the area.
"Wait a minute, this Lin Yun seems to have a good personality. Let's wait here for a while and see if we can get to know him."
“That’s right. Even if we can’t befriend them, the birth of a new super strong person here is a good opportunity to gain some insights. We can take this opportunity to do so.”
Some super strong individuals also privately transmitted their thoughts.
They remained where they were.
Regardless of what was happening outside, Lin Yun had already entered a state of cultivation once again inside the warship.
"The essence blood of super strong individuals is truly amazing. Originally, I had only just entered the peak of the twelfth level and didn't have much. After absorbing the essence blood of so many super strong individuals, I immediately reached my limit. I was just a little short of breaking through to the half-step super strong individual level..."
Lin Yun controlled the immense power within his body, circulating and refining it rapidly, thinking to himself.
This was only because the Bloodthirsty Sword contained Little White and Little Blue, allowing it to absorb a lot more essence blood at once. Otherwise, the essence blood of so many super strong individuals would definitely have allowed him to break through to the half-step super strong realm.
"It was just a little short. If we could absorb a bit more essence blood, it would be just as good..."
Lin Yun shook his head.
At that time, he used the Bloodthirsty Sword and only absorbed half of Lingyuan Venerable's essence blood, leaving the other half intact.
If he had absorbed more essence and blood at that time, the situation would have been different.
However, he had already said it, so it was difficult to change his mind.
"That's good too. I've been cultivating too fast lately, and there are still aspects that aren't stable yet. Breaking through to the half-step super realm just now isn't too good..." Lin Yun paused, then thought to himself, trying to comfort himself.
