Chapter 777: Annihilating the Nine-Spirit
The first layer of the Nine Spirit Tower radiated a profound light, as if suppressing the heavens of Jiuxiao.
Layer by layer, it descended.
The conventional spiritual fire indeed began to extinguish under the rippling spirit light.
However, when it encountered the main spiritual fire on the Seal of Fiery Ordinance, it stalled.
This made the Nine Spirit Tower's expression change involuntarily.
Before it could give up, other Demon Emperors were already arriving.
Suddenly, the Tribulation Fire of Thunder exploded, igniting the entire spiritual body of the Nine Spirit Tower in an instant.
A massive tower, engulfed in enormous spiritual flames.
This scene truly resembled a heavenly tower descending to the world, unmatched in its shock.
The voice of the Nine Spirit Tower also changed from initial boldness to trembling.
"How can this thunder fire attack the divine soul!" The Nine Spirit Tower's eyes glinted coldly.
It began to retract its spiritual body, intending to retreat directly.
But at this moment, how could Lin Shiming allow it? He wielded the Sword Storing Book, covering the sky with it.
In the next moment, the Nine Spirit Tower was enveloped within.
The Seal of Fiery Ordinance, being an innate spiritual treasure, was indeed formidable, with one end hanging over the sea, roasting dozens of Demon Emperors with its hundred fires.
The other end lay in the space of the Sword Storing Book.
The thunder fire burned the Nine Spirit Tower.
"Daoist Lin, I'll tell you the secret of Divinity Transformation, and I'm willing to offer treasures for my ransom!" At this moment, the Nine Spirit Tower finally panicked.
The Sword Storing Book, being a complete spiritual treasure, inherently possessed suppressive power, and coupled with the thunder fire, the Nine Spirit Tower couldn't withstand it at all.
Lin Shiming heard these words but remained indifferent.
The Nine Spirit Tower had come with such a menacing presence today, naturally, it couldn't end well.
Moreover, its background and origins were certainly substantial; how could Lin Shiming let it go?
As for the secret of Divinity Transformation, Lin Shiming wasn't interested.
After all, he was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and he had so many spirit swords from the Myriad Swords Divine Mountain to consult the Taiyi Grass Sword, there was no need to ask such a trivial Nine Spirit Tower.
After a long moment, the Nine Spirit Tower fell silent.
It seemed to have perished, leaving only a black tower, shrinking smaller and smaller until it was as small as a palm.
However, Lin Shiming did not release the Nine Spirit Tower, continuing to use the thunder fire to extinguish its soul.
But his attention was now on those flood dragons.
Killing more flood dragons would allow the Lin Family's Flood Dragon Nest to breed more flood dragons.
Of course, for Lin Shiming, these sixth-rank flood dragons could also transform into Golden Dragon Fruit Trees, providing the Lin Family with more Flood Dragon Nests.
This was what the Lin Family needed.
"Retreat!" However, at this time, the Cloud Flood Dragon Demon Emperor had already developed an intention to retreat.
After all, Lin Shiming had a sixth-rank spirit vein, and a sixth-rank formation, along with the Nascent Souls of Nanxian Hall.
In just the time of a single incense stick, more than ten Nascent Soul-level forces of the Demonic Race had perished.
Among them, Lin Shiming alone had slain over five Nascent Soul cultivators.
The most crucial part was, those who perished were all from the Flood Dragon Clan.
He naturally didn't want to see more fall.
"Retain them at all costs, everyone. All the slain Nascent Souls are yours, and if your mountain is invaded, I will help you for free!" Lin Shiming kept speaking.
He relied on spiritual treasures to win the current situation, but to chase them down would be challenging.
Yet, using the Seal of Fiery Ordinance Mountain, he could at least entangle a few Nascent Souls.
His main focus was on the Nascent Soul flood dragons from the Southern Sea.
After all, they belonged to the Southern Sea Demon King's Court.
At this moment, other Nascent Souls from the Southern Immortals Alliance also nodded. With Lin Shiming's promise, they were not afraid of settling scores later, since the current cultivation world was ruled by Lin Shiming.
As Lin Shiming soared, over a hundred fire spirits wrapped around the flood dragons of the Sea Demon King's Court.
In a short time, they retained seven in total.
Yet, the remaining flood dragon Demon Emperors had no intention of staying.
Evidently, they intended to abandon these flood dragons.
Meanwhile, within the Sword Storing Book's space, the Nine Spirit Tower erupted once again.
Pretending to be dead before, now it panicked upon seeing other Demon Emperors fleeing.
Left alone, it could not resist Lin Shiming, the possessor of an innate spiritual treasure.
At this moment, it regretted not eliminating Lin Shiming earlier at Qingxuan Mountain.
Otherwise, how could today's disaster have been brewed?
Yet, just as it fled the space of the Sword Storing Book, a bloody divine chain bound it.
This was the incomplete spiritual treasure, the Blood Demon Disk.
The Six-Armed Blood Demon appeared, six blood path magic artifacts piercing the Nine Spirit Tower, delivering the final fatal blow.
When the Nine Spirit Tower was destroyed, Lin Shiming's gaze shifted once more, coordinating with the Qiu Xue Sword, Ying Fengjian, and Flaming Sword, he instantly annihilated three more Nascent Soul Demon Emperors.
Granny Qingyu, Xue Shan True Monarch, Demon Fiend True Monarch, and Golden Light True Buddha each also slew one.
The rest wanted to stay, but lacking the strength, they couldn't.
And the remaining Demon Emperors had already fled far away.
Seeing them with no intention to pursue.
"Pursue and kill the remnants of the Demonic Race!" Lin Shiming commanded.
Though the Nascent Souls escaped, the Taiqian Mist, and within it, the ordinary Tai Qian Sharks and fourth-rank flood dragons, did not escape.
Lin Shiming also commanded their Golden Core and Purple Mansion to pursue them.
In addition to the Lin Family pursuing them, Nascent Souls from the Southern Immortals Alliance also pursued.
Though it was somewhat shameful for Nascent Souls to kill Golden Cores, these fifth-rank Demon Kings were either flood dragons or Tai Qian Sharks, and even Qingyun Foxes, other unique demonic beasts.
Their bodies carried significant value, so the Nascent Souls acted swiftly.
Even Tianliu True Monarch claimed many kills.
Of course, they killed Demon Kings but spared some fourth-rank Great Demons or third-rank demonic beasts.
These were Lin Family's assets; they wouldn't be touched.
"Daoist Lin, we've arranged for overseas islands to intercept these ordinary demonic races!" Xue Shan True Monarch spoke once all the fifth-rank Demon Kings were slain.
Previously, due to the Demonic Race targeting the Lin Family, islands had been divided among various powers.
They had pioneered separate islands, now serving as places for tribulations.
Lin Shiming nodded.
"Seventh Uncle, Big Brother, be cautious!" Lin Shiming sent a transmission to Lin Xianzhi, Lin Shijie, and others still pursuing.
He then landed on Shuangmu Island, where Granny Qingyu had returned, collecting her formation flags.
Since the crisis was resolved, her sixth-rank formation needed to be removed from Shuangmu Island.
"Daoist Lin, when will you hold the Nascent Soul ceremony?" Granny Qingyu asked.
Though Lin Shiming almost became the top cultivator of this world, he had not long broken through to Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul ceremony was essential.
"In ten years!" Lin Shiming hesitated before speaking.
With these words, the others nodded.
Ten years was not long for Nascent Soul cultivators.
And when everyone retreated to the distant Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
Lin Shiming finally took a long breath.
He let the three spirit swords watch over, and descended into Shuangmu Island, beginning to meditate and recover.
Regardless of how relaxed he had seemed earlier, his True Yuan was nearly exhausted internally.
He was already strong on the outside and weak on the inside!
