Chapter 435: The Taiyin Divine Body's Explosive Power Surge! (Part 2)
"
"Otherwise, that would be truly stretching it."
He sighed, calmed his emotions, and prepared to leave Flame Mountain.
...
"You... are you okay?"
"Xu Wei Yi was overjoyed to see Gu Xinglian emerge unscathed, having anxiously guarded her from outside."
As for Gu Xinglian's awkward gait, she paid it no mind.
In that state...
Is it strange?
She was well-prepared!
"Lucky, Lin Fan has some special tricks," Gu Xinglian whispered. "She survived, and..."
Xu Wei Yi nodded lightly. "Very good, very good indeed."
She naturally knew about Gu Xinglian's special physique, the Yin Essence Body. Once she practiced Twin Cultivation with someone, it was inevitable that her partner would gain tremendous benefits, and Gu Xinglian herself would also gain great advantages.
Once the Yin Essence Body is 'unsealed', her cultivation and combat power will significantly increase.
It is said that it can also awaken a special divine ability.
In other words, Gu Xinglian's combat power has already surged.
With this, the chances of surviving and escaping have increased.
...
There were already quite a few people around.
The battle with 'Mad Brother' had drawn a lot of attention, attracting many onlookers.
There were at least thirty of them.
A small portion had encountered Gu Xinglian and her group, and some had even joined in the pursuit of Lin Fan.
Most were strangers.
At this moment, they were all wary of each other, but no one made a move.
In the Multiverse Abyss, hunting and killing others for benefits was common, but with so many people, it was less likely to start a fight.
Otherwise, it might turn into a chaotic battle, and surviving in such chaos would be no easy task.
Therefore, unless necessary, or in the presence of truly significant treasures, or if someone had the power to dominate everyone present, they would not engage in battle.
But, they were also unwilling to leave.
Especially knowing that Gu Xinglian had the identity of a 'Tracking Secret' holder.
After seeing Gu Xinglian emerge, they were even more reluctant to leave.
And Gu Xinglian didn't hesitate.
Soon after arriving, she didn't even wait for half an incense stick's worth of time before choosing a random direction and leaving.
Xu Wei Yi closely followed her.
Lin Zi Xiao and Ji Chu Tong, after a brief hesitation, also headed in the direction Gu Xinglian had taken.
Seeing this, the others' eyes flashed...
After Flame Mountain, those traces had never appeared again.
And this woman had survived.
So...
"Chase!"
Someone couldn't hold back.
"This woman's secret technique has great use, and there's a slight possibility that the World Heart is already in her possession!"
"Indeed, we must stop her and 'inspect' her. If she has the World Heart, we'll make her hand it over. If not... we'll make her find that person!"
"Go!"
"..."
The conflict had begun.
Or rather, in this hellish place of the Multiverse Abyss, peace was almost non-existent, especially when faced with benefits.
Kill rather than let go, bear the burden of the world rather than let the world bear me, this was the norm in the Multiverse Abyss.
Gu Xinglian had already demonstrated her 'abilities', and this fact didn't escape her notice.
But she wasn't alarmed; instead, she felt relieved.
"Did it succeed?"
"Indeed, his plan was quite effective, successfully diverting many people's attention to me. As long as these people don't die, the news will spread, and more and more people will know me and be led away by me."
"This way, the pressure on Lin Fan's side will be reduced."
"As for me..."
She nodded slightly to Xu Wei Yi.
Both of them accelerated.
Lin Zi Xiao and Ji Chu Tong followed from a distance, and behind them were the powerful pursuers who had caught up.
Seeing Gu Xinglian and Xu Wei Yi's acceleration confirmed their suspicions: "Even if she doesn't have the World Heart, she must have a clue to its whereabouts."
Lin Zi Xiao applauded: "Well done! Otherwise, why would she be so desperate to escape?"
"Three hundred taels of silver is right here, we can't let them escape."
"Chase!"
Encouraged by her, the crowd felt more convinced and pursued them with greater intensity.
"..."
"Are they about to leave the million-mile range?"
At the edge of Flame Mountain.
Lin Fan held the Sky Gazing Mirror, noticing they were about to leave his field of vision, and no one else was in sight.
Without hesitation, he chose a small valley eighty thousand miles away from the previous battlefield to prepare for his departure.
Before leaving, he exhausted his Immortal Energy, creating numerous Immortal Petal Incarnations, and then continued.
Repeatedly...
In the shortest time, his Immortal Energy was nearly depleted.
And before recovering, he used the Walking Secret to swiftly depart.
With this...
At least, no traces would be left behind at Flame Mountain.
Although the World Heart and the Great Dao Vessel had accelerated his recovery speed, it wasn't instantaneous.
But this time was enough for him to run far.
But...
Lin Fan ultimately didn't choose to leave directly, at least not letting Gu Xinglian and the others out of the Sky Gazing Mirror's sight.
Despite the sudden turn of events, and not what he had in mind.
But in the end, he couldn't be heartless.
Now that they were connected, he couldn't stand by and watch her in danger.
Especially when the danger was a result of drawing attention to herself.
As for the World Heart...
Well, if it can be kept, it will be kept. If not, it's a lost cause.
In the end, if all else fails, he will protect his useful body and return.
The Xianwu Continent is controlled by those above.
If all else fails, after ascending, he will emulate the Emperor of Chaos.
The Emperor of Chaos rules the ancient world, and he will rule the upper realm with his dark hand!
As long as he has some time, it's not impossible to achieve!
In fact, for Lin Fan, the World's Heart has never been a necessity.
If he can get the best, if not, it's not unacceptable.
So, he decides that preserving the people he cares about is more important.
What's more...
It's not impossible to save everyone.
As the saying goes, children make choices.
Adults are greedy, they want... everything!
...
"Even, I have a plan."
Lin Fan suddenly realized that sometimes, letting go is not a bad thing.
The World's Heart is like a hot potato.
It's the same for whoever holds it.
Once discovered, it's a battle to the death, with no end in sight.
Now, there's still four and a half years left, and he wants to rely on himself to hold on until the five-year mark, but it's as difficult as climbing to heaven.
But if...
If he throws this thing away, and then, relying on the Sky Gazing Mirror's super vision, he can edge OB from the sidelines, and then make his move when time is almost up? The difficulty would be much lower!
But there's also a high chance of failure.
After all, not everything goes according to Lin Fan's imagination.
For example, if the 'handler' can't take it anymore and chooses to reveal everything before dying, or if it falls into the hands of an extremely powerful person who suppresses all enemies.
Or maybe the other party has a special hiding method, and even the Sky Gazing Mirror can't find them.
Or perhaps the other party is too fast, and he can't keep up...
In any case, there are countless possibilities.
But as he said before, the World's Heart is not an indispensable object for Lin Fan!
"That's what we'll do."
"If we're truly desperate, we'll throw out the World's Heart."
"Whoever wants it, can take it."
"Then, we'll edge OB and wait, and during this process, we can even reveal the news to others, let them fight and struggle for it, reducing our competition."
Lin Fan smiled.
No longer as cautious as before, he no longer maintains an edge OB state, observing Gu Xinglian's situation.
At this moment, they have been stopped and surrounded.
A group of people eye them greedily, each one more vicious than the next.
Their eyes are cold, ready to strike at any moment.
"You!"
One of them stares at Gu Xinglian, saying coldly, "Hand over all your storage treasures and open your Energy Core for our inspection!"
"Or else, die!"
Such a demand is too much! For any cultivator, it's a humiliation.
Taking away storage treasures is one thing, but asking to open the Energy Core is like asking to reveal everything, including all protective measures, and even divine perception is not allowed! In other words...
Once the Energy Core is opened, it's like asking the other party to cast aside all dignity, exposing every part of their body without reservation! Gu Xinglian lets out a cold laugh.
"What a joke!"
"I, the Thousand Flower Holy Mother, would never endure such humiliation?"
"If you want to fight, then fight."
"If you want to take my treasures, let's see what you're capable of!"
She doesn't bother with idle chatter.
In fact, this is all to buy more time and opportunities for Lin Fan.
But...
With so many people attacking together, she and her great-uncle might not be able to hold out, right?
But it doesn't matter, as long as she's alive...
Gu Xinglian smiled.
Her smile is like a blooming flower.
Boom!
Without waiting for others to make a move, she takes the initiative to attack!
A huge bright moon appears behind her, as if instantly occupying the entire sky, even the pitch-black Multiverse Abyss is illuminated, shimmering with a silver glow.
"What's that?!"
Xu Wei Yi is shocked.
Others may not understand, but she knows Gu Xinglian's methods.
In the past, Xu Wei Yi never had such skills!
In other words...
"This is the manifestation of the Yin Essence after the Yin-Yang Balance, or... a divine ability?"
"The bright moon rises from the sea..."
"No, this is not the moon!"
"This is..."
"The Yin Star!"
The sun and the moon, almost all the larger ones, are called the Sun Star and the Moon Star.
But in fact, the true Sun Star and Moon Star have always been one!
The Yin Star manifestation is countless times stronger than the Bright Moon Rising from the Sea.
This astonishing manifestation also surprises the powerful cultivators surrounding them.
At this moment, Gu Xinglian takes the initiative and attacks with overwhelming force.
Her strength far surpasses the past.
Various secret techniques emerge, and under the manifestation's blessing, all spells and attacks receive a comprehensive boost, with an effect that can be described as terrifying.
Some of her signature secret arts are enhanced tenfold! The Yin Essence fully blooms.
At this moment, she is like a divine Yin woman, beautiful beyond compare, so powerful that others find it hard to look directly at her.
"This woman..."
"She's actually a Yin Essence cultivator?!"
Among the surrounding powerful cultivators, some recognize Gu Xinglian's background and origins, but after a brief shock, most feel excited.
"Excellent! Truly a remarkable Yin Essence Body!"
"It seems you're a treasure trove all over!"
"Hahaha, I must have you!"
"Who do you think you are, daring to compete with me? In the four years hence, you shall be my servant, my cauldron, and my timekeeper. Even without your Yin essence, you can still aid me in ascending higher, hahahaha!"
"Hmph! Let's see what you've got!"
The battle had barely begun.
Yet, many had already started bickering and discussing how to distribute the spoils.
Initially, they had planned to capture Gu Xinglian, at the very least using her as a treasure-hunting mouse. They also had their eyes on her original treasures, her harvests, and everything else, intending to claim them as their own.
Why wouldn't they be delighted? Now, upon discovering that Gu Xinglian possessed the Yin Essence Body, they became even more excited.
"You dare!"
Xu Wei Yi was furious.
She joined the fray, and at this moment, the strength of the two women was almost on par.
Both were formidable, akin to Eleventh Tribulation Scatter Immortals.
Together, they battled against over thirty others, and in a short time, they didn't fall behind!
The Yin Star phenomenon showered silver-white radiance, gathering on Gu Xinglian's body, forming a silver battle armor, making her resemble a female war goddess.
"If you wish to suppress this Holy Mother, let's see what you've got!"
"Die!"
Boom!
A moonlight glow erupted, and suddenly, a long spear appeared in her hand.
She spun, and the spear thrust out like a divine dragon exploring the sea.
A Tenth Tribulation Scatter Immortal who had tried to sneak attack was instantly pierced, his blood staining the sky.
"Ahhhh!"
His screams echoed.
"Senior Brother!"
The junior disciple was shocked and rushed to his rescue.
"Scram!"
Gu Xinglian punched the spear's tail.
The spear tore through the air, instantly piercing the junior disciple as well, and then, she pinned both brothers to a special wordless stele, their cries of agony unceasing, yet they couldn't break free.
Only then did they realize that the spear was covered in countless Dao patterns, suppressing them in place.
"Disrespecting the Holy Mother of the Ten Thousand Flower Holy Land, you all deserve to die!"
Xu Wei Yi unleashed her power at this moment.
In the Multiverse Abyss, she might not be among the absolute top tier, not quite reaching T0 standards, but she was undoubtedly in the T1 category.
The thirty-plus individuals were all powerful cultivators.
However, if it came to a one-on-one fight, there might be no one who could defeat her.
At this moment, the Eleventh Tribulation Scatter Immortal's battle prowess was fully displayed, and she alone held her ground against seventeen or eighteen opponents without faltering.
Some overconfident Ninth Realm cultivators tried to take advantage of the chaos.
But how could Xu Wei Yi give them a chance? She unleashed her strength, suppressing their attacks, tearing them apart!
She literally tore them to shreds, more thorough and ruthless than tearing apart ghosts.
She left them utterly hopeless.
Lin Zixiao and Ji Chutong were also among the crowd, but they had been secretly plotting, pretending to fight Gu Xinglian while actually taking advantage of the situation.
They even seized opportunities to strike at their 'allies'.
Some others had noticed the suspicious behavior of these two.
Alas...
Those who discovered their treachery met their end.
It was only a matter of moments before the confrontation.
The besieging powerful cultivators realized something was amiss.
"She... is incredibly formidable!"
Before this, they had known that Xu Wei Yi was powerful, a Tenth Tribulation Scatter Immortal.
But Gu Xinglian was only at the Ninth Realm.
Therefore, even though Xu Wei Yi was strong, they weren't intimidated and dared to confront and attack her.
However, after engaging in combat, they discovered that Gu Xinglian wasn't weaker than Xu Wei Yi, forcing them to split up. This division led to an unexpected turn of events...
They found themselves at a disadvantage against her.
Boom!
The Dao Principles became useless.
Various special effects filled the sky, transforming it into a colorful spectacle, visible even from hundreds or thousands of miles away.
At this moment...
They couldn't afford to reduce their might and commotion, lest they attract the attention of others.
Instead, they intended to create a bigger scene, drawing more people.
Otherwise...
They had only two choices.
One, flee.
Two, fight to the bitter end and die.
Bringing in more people was risky, but in the chaos of battle, there was still a glimmer of hope...
"This is about to escalate into a massive battle."
"Moreover, someone has already arrived."
Within the range of the Sky Gazing Mirror, other powerful cultivators appeared.
Lin Fan recognized one of them.
He was one of those who had been bound by that demonic creature but managed to escape using his own abilities. As an Eleventh Tribulation Scatter Immortal with numerous secret techniques, he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Farther away...
There were undoubtedly more cultivators rushing towards the battlefield.
"I should approach cautiously."
"Otherwise, in a critical moment, I might not make it in time."
"And..."
"I've changed my mind."
"Instead of waiting until I'm forced to hand over the World's Heart, it's better to release it and let the bloodshed ensue."
He quietly approached, not alerting others.
At this moment, he recalled a martial arts novel he had read.
What if, before his death, Dongfang Bubai had copied the Sunflower Manual countless times, spreading it throughout the martial world? To practice or not to practice?
To practice, one risks losing their life.
Not to practice? An enemy might secretly learn it and come to kill you, taking your life.
And now, his decision was...
To throw out the World's Heart and see what these cultivators from the Multiverse would do—fight or not?
More and more cultivators approached the battlefield.
They didn't know why these people were fighting, but...
Being besieged by so many was explanation enough.
Thus, Gu Xinglian and Xu Wei Yi found themselves in a fierce battle, their situation becoming increasingly dire.
Boom!
In the sky above, a chain suddenly appeared, as if splitting the entire sky in two.
Then, a figure with a formidable aura descended from the heavens.
