Chapter 1267: Chapter 21: Crushing Step

Such strength?

Such strength?

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect trembled in his heart.

The terrifying giant demon approaching the Abyss Demon, its strength could likely rival the Second Realm and Third Realm experts to some extent.

And Lin Yuan, who stomped this terrifying giant demon to death, how strong must he be?

The Second Realm? Or the Third Realm?

Even before the great changes in heaven and earth, during the peak era of this world, experts of the Third Realm were exceedingly rare, especially the Third Realm, which was considered the strongest below the Eternal Sect.

The founder of Qingyun Saint Sect barely managed to enter the First Realm.

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect took a deep breath, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed Lin Yuan in the rune-woven image, seemingly sensing something, and turning his gaze towards them.

“Not good.”

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect felt his scalp tingling and unhesitatingly interrupted the rune operation, causing the image to dissipate instantly.

The many elders present felt a strange sense of relief when this happened, as if being watched by Lin Yuan would bring enormous pressure.

Demonic Qi pervades.

Lin Yuan looked down at the critically wounded terrifying giant demon below.

He glanced towards the direction of Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

“This sense of prying, is it a Secret Technique that operates based on Rune Dao?”

Lin Yuan pondered inwardly; this sense of prying was extremely subtle, strong as the Source Demon could not feel a thing, but Lin Yuan was not a Source Demon; he was an existence stronger than the Source Demon.

“Very clever utilization of runes.”

Lin Yuan evaluated inwardly; even he did not immediately notice being spied upon.

“Guess they’ve already seen me.”

Lin Yuan’s mind was calm; the sense of prying came from Qingyun Sacred Mountain, and he did not hide his actions against the terrifying giant demon, so the Holy Sect Master probably already knew about him.

Although his identity was exposed, Lin Yuan didn’t mind; his strength had long recovered to its peak state, plus he had opened a hundred billion particle worlds, making this body the strongest among the three true bodies.

With Lin Yuan’s current strength, he could have effortlessly dominated even before the great changes in heaven and earth, let alone now.

“This demon…”

Lin Yuan looked again at the limp giant demon below.

The giant demon’s strength was formidable; in the Chaos Void, it would be considered Great Saint-level, even more troublesome due to the Demonic Qi, supported by endless Demonic Qi, nearly immortal.

Each step Lin Yuan took was enough to crush a Great Saint, but it took four steps to render the demon entirely incapable of resistance.

This, of course, was because Lin Yuan didn’t go all out; he hunted the demon not to kill it entirely but to refine its demon body, extracting its essential power for resource support to open numerous particle worlds.

Therefore, Lin Yuan was cautious, fearing one careless move that could cause the demon’s form and spirit to shatter.

“Come in.”

With a slight thought, Lin Yuan immediately transported the giant demon into one of his particle worlds.

Inside, the Yin Yang Great Grinding Disc formed by Chaos Taiji Power began grinding, constantly crushing the demon’s body repeatedly.

After finishing all this, Lin Yuan’s figure vanished from the original place.

The highest palace of Qingyun Sacred Mountain.

The many elders remained silent, watching the Holy Sect Master standing above.

“Sect Master, that elder?”

Finally, an elder summoned the courage to speak, unable to resist asking, naturally referring to Lin Yuan as ‘elder’.

Qingyun Saint Sect, being a leading power inherited from before great changes in heaven and earth, certainly has its foundation, such as Protectors.

But even with the elders’ rich imagination, they dared not equate Chen Tong with Qingyun Saint Sect’s Protectors.

What a joke! If Qingyun Saint Sect’s Protectors had such strength, would Qingyun Saint Sect still be oppressed by demons to the point of suffocation? Any demon attacking the mountain would make the Saint Sect tremble?

Protectors certainly can’t act recklessly, but if they possessed such strength, why would Qingyun Saint Sect be so cautious?

“I also don’t know.”

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect shook his head and said.

He knew very little about Lin Yuan; now seeing the other’s strength, he found himself nearly ignorant of this disciple who loyally served at Qingyun Institute.

“But, in any case, the elder certainly holds no malice toward our Saint Sect.”

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect thought for a while and said.

“Indeed.”

Many elders nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Indeed, with Lin Yuan’s strength, if there were truly any malicious intent, Qingyun Saint Sect would have long ceased to exist.

“What should we do now?”

Another elder asked.

The other elders looked immediately at the Holy Sect Master upon hearing this.

“What to do?”

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect exhaled lightly and said solemnly, “Since our Saint Sect has such an elder in residence, we should naturally pay respects immediately.”

It was acceptable not to know.

Now that they knew and yet did not go to pay respects actively, no matter how bold, the Holy Sect Master dared not do such.

“Yes, let’s pay respects immediately.”

The many elders nodded.

Deep within Qingyun Institute.

Lin Yuan had already completely refined that terrifying giant demon soon after returning.

The endless Demonic Qi, crushed millions of times, returned to the source, transforming into an extremely pure energy mass.

“Enough to support me in opening sixty million particle worlds.”

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.

A Demon Spirit could allow Lin Yuan to open hundreds to thousands of particle worlds.

A large demon could provide the resources and energy for Lin Yuan to open hundreds of thousands to millions of particle worlds.

And this terrifying giant demon, although still at the large demon level, was verging on a Source Demon, bringing unprecedented help to Lin Yuan, equivalent to the harvest from hunting dozens of large demons.

“Moreover…”

Lin Yuan carefully examined the pure energy mass, faintly sensing an extremely Origin Source aura from it.

“This aura, is it the power of the Source Demon?”

Lin Yuan speculated; he had never hunted a Source Demon, but this giant demon was just one step away from being a Source Demon; certain parts of itself were likely already evolving toward a Source Demon.

“A pity; I don’t have the time to wait for it to become a Source Demon.”

Lin Yuan slightly shook his head; although the demon was just one step from evolving into a Source Demon, it was unknown how long it would take to cross that step—thousands of years? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Even millions?

Demons’ growth was undoubtedly faster than cultivators’, but it also took time, especially the key evolution from large demon to Source Demon, where even a million years seemed little.

If Lin Yuan had this time, he would have already gone to hunt a real Source Demon.

“This Origin Source aura, is there a trace of the Thirteenth Power?”

Lin Yuan carefully felt it and concluded; the Thirteenth Power was highly distinguishable, supreme over all else.

At Qingyun Institute, countless disciples of the Holy Sect moved in and out at all times.

But on that day, numerous disciples of the Holy Sect were invited out from Qingyun Institute.

“What’s going on?”

“Why are we being sent out?”

“Precisely, I just exchanged for a Secret Technique and haven’t finished copying…”

Many disciples naturally objected, but upon seeing the Sect Master personally appear outside the institute, followed by many high-ranking elders, they quickly realized something major had happened.

And hastened to distance themselves.

“What exactly happened?”

“Why has the Sect Master come?”

“And so many elders, it seems all the elders are here.”

“The Sect Master and all elders are present? How is this possible?”

Many disciples looked grim; only on deciding the truly major matters of the Sect did the Sect Master and elders gather, but now?

Gathering outside Qingyun Institute?

Could it be that Qingyun Institute relates to the Sect’s survival?

Though they couldn’t understand, many disciples dared not defy the Sect Master and elders’ orders.

All disciples withdrew from Qingyun Institute.

The Holy Sect Master steadied himself and glanced at the many elders behind him.

At this moment, all elders were also respectful; from the rune-woven image, they understood precisely the terrifying presence they were about to pay respects to, naturally daring not show any disrespect.

“The 2638th-generation Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect, with 456 elders, pays respects to the elder!”

The Sect Master of Qingyun Saint Sect bowed towards the depths of Qingyun Institute and said respectfully.
