Chapter 4627

The Daoist Lin family had an immense influence, leaving behind a wealth of precious cultivation resources, including Daoist spells, secret cultivation techniques, and treasures. Despite the passage of time, even a family as mighty as the Lin family eventually vanished into the long river of history.

"That's just what I've heard, and it might not be entirely accurate," Wang Changsheng said. "What's certain is that the Daoist Lin family was indeed very powerful back then. I heard that the Lin family's progenitor achieved Dao through a special law." The Wang family had also collected some ancient texts about the Daoist Lin family, but they contained little confidential information, mostly widely known details.

"Back then, more than one Grand Luo Golden Immortal from the Lin family attempted to become a Dao Ancestor," Nangong Dezhi said. "Three Grand Luo Golden Immortals made the attempt, but only the Lin family's progenitor succeeded. It's said that he obtained a supreme immortal artifact that had been refined with a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure. Its defense was extremely strong, but after enduring the heavenly tribulation, that treasure was also rendered useless."

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, is that just something you heard?" Wang Ruyan asked curiously.

"In my early years, I obtained the Lin family's clan history, so this should be accurate," Nangong Dezhi replied. "The other two Grand Luo Golden Immortals failed in their attempt to become Dao Ancestors."

"Achieved Dao through a special law, and only a supreme immortal artifact refined with a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure could withstand the heavenly tribulation?" Fairy Liuyun exclaimed in surprise. "From this, one can truly see how formidable the heavenly tribulation is for those attempting to become a Dao Ancestor."

"How could it rely solely on a supreme immortal artifact refined with a mutated Primordial Spirit Treasure?" Nangong Dezhi asked. "There were also protective formations and other safeguards." He then recalled something and added, "Back then, the Lin family had over a dozen Grand Luo Golden Immortals who had cultivated immortal bodies and mastered supreme laws. They had exterminated many King Beasts, earning them great renown. Fellow Daoist Wang, all five Grand Luo Golden Immortals in your family have cultivated immortal bodies and mastered supreme laws. The next time the Chaos Beasts come, your family will be their primary target."

"I hope Kunlun Immortal Island will support us then!" Wang Changsheng wondered. "By the way, Master Miaode of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect hasn't arrived either?"

"He went to support Taibai Sword City," Nangong Dezhi said meaningfully. "Kunlun Immortal Island has dispatched many Grand Luo Golden Immortals there. We've already annihilated so many Chaos Beasts and are heavily wounded, unable to fight anymore." It was enough for them to look after themselves; with King Beasts leading the attack on Taibai Sword City, there was no need for them to get involved.

"Naturally, we are already heavily wounded and unable to fight anymore," Wang Changsheng agreed deeply. They had successively slain over a dozen Grand Luo Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts, achieving brilliant results. If they were to kill more Grand Luo Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts, the Hunxie King Tribe would pay even more attention to them, leading to considerable trouble. Fairy Liuyun echoed, "That's indeed the case."

After chatting for over half an hour, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan returned to Green Lotus City.

In Taibai Sword City, the interior was in ruins. Numerous bodies lay on the ground, most of them immortal cultivators. Outside the city, hundreds of thousands of Chaos Beasts were fiercely battling tens of thousands of Immortal Armored Soldiers, with casualties on both sides.

Master Miaode was engaged in combat with a humanoid, nine-colored Chaos Beast. The chaos armor on the Chaos Beast's body had dozens of tiny cracks, indicating it was heavily scarred and bleeding profusely. Master Miaode had originally intended to assist the Wang family, but he received a strict order from Kunlun Immortal Island. Even Liu Qian had received orders to come as reinforcement. Five King Beasts led the assault, bringing over a dozen Grand Luo Golden Immortal-stage nine-colored Chaos Beasts to attack Taibai Sword City. Kunlun Immortal Island also dispatched many masters to support Taibai Sword City.

"Om Mani Padme Hum!" A burst of Buddhist chanting resonated, spreading throughout this part of the world. Six massive characters, constantly glowing with Buddhist light, flew forth, smashing towards the nine-colored Chaos Beast. The nine-colored Chaos Beast swung its black long saber, which was covered in cracks, to meet them. With a thunderous roar, the black long saber shattered the six massive characters, but its surface gained even more cracks.

A "卍" symbol descended from the sky, accompanied by bursts of Buddhist chanting, crashing towards the nine-colored Chaos Beast. The nine-colored Chaos Beast's body erupted with dazzling nine-colored spiritual light. It met the "卍" symbol with its left fist, and with a loud bang, the ground collapsed. Its feet sank into the ground, and dust billowed around it.

Before the dust had dispersed, a burst of Buddhist chanting came from the sky. Immediately after, as the dust cleared, a golden sound wave swept forth, quickly passing through the nine-colored Chaos Beast's body. Several more cracks appeared on the surface of the chaos armor covering the nine-colored Chaos Beast. Master Miaode instantly appeared in front of it, swinging his continually glowing Buddhist staff to strike it. The nine-colored Chaos Beast hurriedly swung its black long saber to meet the attack. The black long saber collided with the Buddhist staff, producing a dull thud before shattering into pieces. The Buddhist staff then struck the extensively cracked chaos armor. Like the last straw that breaks the camel's back, the chaos armor shattered, and the staff crushed the nine-colored Chaos Beast's head. The chaos armor covered its entire body. Without its protection, this nine-colored Chaos Beast could not withstand the Buddhist staff's attack at all.

Master Miaode collected the Chaos Beast's corpse, letting out a sigh of relief. This Chaos Beast had the cultivation of a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Although it hadn't mastered a supreme law, even so, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal from Taibai Sword Sect had been slain by it.

A huge golden light shot up into the sky. Immediately after, several afterimages flew towards the horizon, moving extremely fast. Several streaks of escaping light pursued them, quickly vanishing into the distance. Master Miaode's face was filled with confusion. Immortal Monarch Qianxin, a disciple of the Kunlun Dao Ancestor, who had cultivated a top-tier immortal body, had personally led a team to provide support.

The Chaos Beasts scattered and fled in all directions, and the Immortal Armored Soldiers pursued them. Master Miaode intervened to slay the Taiyi Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts. Chaos Beasts possessing chaos armor were his primary targets, as they simply couldn't withstand Master Miaode. In less than a quarter of an hour, most of the invading Chaos Beasts were slain, with only a small number escaping.

Several streaks of escaping light flew from a distance, halted with a flash, revealing two men and one woman. The leader was a muscular, golden-robed man with a broad back and powerful build, his eyes gleaming with golden light. This was Immortal Monarch Qianxin, a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, who possessed a top-tier immortal body but had not mastered a supreme law. Among the many disciples and grand-disciples of the Kunlun Dao Ancestor, currently only Immortal Monarch Qianxin had cultivated a top-tier immortal body, utilizing six types of cultivation resources capable of forming one. The Kunlun Dao Ancestor had provided considerable assistance, grooming Immortal Monarch Qianxin as a successor.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, how was it? Did you catch them?" Master Miaode asked.

"That beast mastered spatial law, so it escaped," Immortal Monarch Qianxin replied. "However, we did slay three King Beasts, which is not bad." Five King Beasts had led the attack, and he alone had slain three of them—a brilliant achievement. However, the immortals had also suffered considerable losses.

"What a pity that it managed to escape," Master Miaode said with a tone of regret.

Fairy Longyue approached, her face pale, clothes stained with blood, and her aura weak. "How are things? What are the battle losses?" Immortal Monarch Qianxin asked.

"Twelve Grand Luo Golden Immortals were slain, three Grand Luo Golden Immortals were severely wounded, and two fellow Daoists had their physical bodies destroyed," Fairy Longyue reported. "We killed fifteen Grand Luo Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts, including three King Beasts."
