Chapter 766: Sword Shatters Dread, Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger
"Defeated opponent?"
As the sound of these four words penetrated his ears, Lin Jingtang's face suddenly turned crimson.
That most unbearable memory surged like a tide!
He did not come from a good background, it's unknown who his parents are, but his upbringing was enough to make him proud.
Adopted by the Lin Family Patriarch and taught like a son, he was outstanding and showed exceptional talent early on.
Even though he didn't join the Tianyuan Daoist Sect, many people compared him to disciples of the sect.
He did not disappoint, advancing through Qi refining and foundation establishment, finally achieving Nascent Soul State!
That moment was his happiest day, the Lin Family held a Nascent Soul ceremony for him, many friendly Han Gate families came to celebrate, even members from the sect came to observe.
He knew all this was because the Lin Family Patriarch wanted him to support Lin Bufan in his most critical trial, but he willingly accepted it.
In his heart, he was already prepared to protect Lin Bufan with all his might, to repay the Lin Family's great kindness.
He had this confidence!
But all this was overshadowed upon entering Cave Heaven, by Luo Chen's palm!
That palm pushed him back a hundred miles, forcing him to suffer heavy injuries.
And that palm was merely done casually by the opponent!
This was unbearable for Lin Jingtang who always compared himself to the Tianyuan Succession.
Not being able to even rival a Rogue Cultivator, how could he stand atop with the Tianyuan Succession?
If not for Lin Bufan's path ahead, he couldn't act impulsively, he would have long sought to wash away the humiliation.
Originally, he had suppressed that anger.
But now...
"Seeking your own death?"
Lin Jingtang grinned, the blood threads on his white teeth were ghastly.
"Even if it means death, I'll drag you down to hell with me!"
The shattered Nascent Soul unexpectedly emerged directly from the Purple Mansion, blatantly exposed under the sun, under everyone's gaze.
The tender little arms fell upon the disproportionate Golden Bell, with unwavering momentum, suddenly charging downward.
Crush Luo Chen!
Boom!
With a single strike, the mountain beneath Luo Chen crumbled and shattered.
But to everyone's surprise, he still floated quietly in the air, unaffected.
Seeing this, Lin Jingtang, who had fallen to the bottom of the mountain, couldn't help but be stunned.
But with his rich experience, he quickly realized what happened.
His strike missed, only hitting beside the opponent.
And the cause for everything was the numerous ghostly illusions that emerged on the opponent when they passed each other earlier.
"An illusion technique that can affect Divine Consciousness?"
Someone answered his doubt.
Qi Xiongcheng's face showed a serious expression, flying beside Shi Ju.
"That move again! And the difference is, even though he's in a state of sudden enlightenment, he can still use it, which means he must have cultivated the Soul Splitting Technique or the Second Nascent Soul!"
"Second Nascent Soul?" Shi Ju shook his head, that kind of profound technique is beyond a Rogue Cultivator like Luo Chen to master.
"It's the Soul Splitting Technique! Didn't you see his attacks were mainly ambushes, unlike his previous open and bold style? This indicates, at this moment, he simply cannot activate the vast Qi Power from the Nascent Soul, nor can he mobilize the Heaven and Earth Qi."
There is a distinct difference between the Soul Splitting Technique and the Second Nascent Soul.
The former is merely a divided Divine Soul, possessing identical consciousness and behavioral logic as the main body, but ultimately just a Divine Soul.
Being able to perform the Soul Technique, barely mobilizing some Qi Power is already due to Luo Chen's high attainment in Soul Refining.
But the Second Nascent Soul, that is almost equivalent to a cultivator's second life!
A complete Nascent Soul, a complete Divine Soul, if equipped with a corresponding physique, can achieve the legendary External Incarnation!
This kind of incarnation is not comparable to puppet incarnations or Qi Power incarnations.
Only the legendary blood children of the Yuan Mo Sect can barely match, but even then barely, as blood children ultimately aren't formed from the cultivator's own Nascent Soul.
Once a cultivator masters such a secret technique, it equals having an identical replica of oneself, in combat, their minds are interconnected, cooperating seamlessly, achieving more than the sum of its parts, even boosting combat ability multiple times!
At this moment, the conversation between Shi Ju and Qi Xiongcheng spreads unchecked, echoing everywhere, landing in Lin Jingtang's ears.
The Nascent Soul Small People with a gaping hole in its chest was furious amidst sudden understanding!
Earlier, he was unexpectedly ambushed by a soul split.
His body now severely injured, Purple Mansion shattered, the Nascent Soul's true form on the verge of collapse.
This terrible humiliation, he must avenge!
Ignoring Lin Bufan's continuous pleas in the distance, Lin Jingtang, consumed by rage and hatred, kicked the big bell.
The Alarm Bell soared into the sky, covering Luo Chen from above.
Lin Jingtang formed hand signs, the rapidly depleting Qi Power surged completely as if the Great River broke free.
His body was shrinking, disintegrating, yet his eyes were insanely wild.
"Grow!"
"Grow!"
"Grow!"
The golden bell started to swell frantically, ten zhang, fifty zhang, seventy zhang, until it reached a colossal hundred zhang!
Like a gigantic pot lid, or a towering umbrella, completely engulfing the hundred zhang radius around Luo Chen.
No matter how intricate your Soul Technique, under such a scope, where could you possibly escape?
The Alarm Bell plummeted downward.
In the distance, Fu Qinglan disregarded his injury to soar into the sky, a sword and a leaf moving even ahead.
But under Shi Ju's guidance, Wang Yifu and Qi Xiongcheng intercepted the two weapons respectively, Shi Ju himself blocking Fu Qinglan.
"Move aside!"
