Kill God Wuzong

"How could this young man remain calm under the gaze of our sect? Unlike before, he has transformed again!" the Sect Leader was shocked, and then sternly asked, "Why did your cultivation continuously break through when you went up there?"

"I don't know either. I just felt a surge of energy infusing my body, guiding me as I climbed onto the altar. I don't remember anything else after that." Lin Chen shrugged. He had already decided to bluff his way through this.

With his current strength, even if the Sect Leader attacked him, he would not necessarily fear his opponent!

After giving Lin Chen a deep look, the Sect Leader resumed his usual nonchalant demeanor, and nodded, "Hmm, perhaps you and my Shenwu Sect are fated. This is the opportunity given by our ancestors to guide you, so keep it well."

His tone changed, and the Sect Leader continued, "Lin Chen, how do you think my Shenwu Sect has treated you?"

Lin Chen was startled, then earnestly said, "I was an abandoned infant taken in by Elder Su. To me, Shenwu Sect is like a big family."

Lin Chen sneered inwardly. Big family my ass! If not for my sufficient strength, I would have died namelessly in some corner long ago, with no one to even collect my corpse.

"Hmm~ You think this way, and our sect is very satisfied. However, since you see Shenwu Sect as your family, you should contribute to this family, no?"

The Sect Leader's gentle tone made Lin Chen tense up immediately!

"If you could copy your green-grade alchemy imprint and leave it in Shenwu Sect, it would be an unprecedented contribution and reform to the entire sect. If you contribute your alchemy imprint, our sect will additionally reward you with a Spiritual Ring, as well as let you take any treasures from our warehouses. What do you think?"

As expected, this old fox still covets my alchemy imprint!

Lin Chen unconsciously took a step back, on guard.

Should I fight, or placate him first?

"Alright, contributing to Shenwu Sect is also my wish."

Lin Chen decided to placate him first. Conflict now would be more detrimental than beneficial.

The Sect Leader was immediately overjoyed, "Good, good! I knew I didn't judge you wrongly. Good disciple, take this Spiritual Ring first. When you want to select martial arts manuals or treasures from the sect, inform me."

"Sect Leader, better strike while the iron is hot. I want to go now."

"Oh? Good! I'll bring you to our Treasure Pavilion now!"

The Sect Leader brought Lin Chen to several places in the sect with the most treasures, just picking up Attribute Spheres along the way gave Lin Chen hundreds of them. He picked enough manuals to maximize the last skill in his Devil Suppressing Four Kings Seal.

He selected a large batch of heaven and earth treasures for alchemy, as well as several top green-grade martial arts that were the sect's treasures.

After that, Lin Chen was arranged in a secret chamber.

Two days later;

Shenwu Sect, outside a secret chamber at Qingyun Hall.

Lin Chen pretended to copy the alchemy imprint, but was secretly cultivating!

"Can't believe they really imprisoned me, thinking I'm an idiot."

Lin Chen sneered inwardly.

Alchemy imprints were not low-level skills that could be recorded in writing. They required spiritual sense to record the chants, hand seals, spiritual control and other information.

With Lin Chen's spiritual sense, recording a green-grade alchemy imprint would take over four years!

That meant Shenwu Sect wanted to imprison Lin Chen for over four years!

The value of a mid-green grade alchemy imprint could not be exchanged even for the entire Shenwu Sect!

That was why the highest alchemy imprint in Shenwu Sect was only yellow-grade.

Lin Chen was no sitting duck. He was absorbing the last batch of battle qi essence, and the qi ocean in his dantian started churning and splitting, revealing the fourth layer!

In no time, Lin Chen officially stepped into the Fourth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm! He opened his system.

"As my pure strength grows, so does the boost from my awakened Azure Dragon bloodline. And the more Attribute Spheres I collect, the more stable the growth from my inner art! It's time to leave Shenwu Sect!"

Lin Chen took out the Seven Star Soul Stealing Spear from his system. The long spear had seven sparkling gems embedded on it, with a murky green spearhead.

Other than items from Treasure Chests, Lin Chen's system could not store his other possessions.

Lin Chen pushed open the door of the secret chamber, and two Elders at the Spirit Communication Realm stood guard outside.

"Oh? Lin Chen, why did you come out?"

Just as the two Elders were puzzled, Lin Chen revealed his killing intent!

"Azure Dragon Bloodline, unleash!"

Bang bang~~!

Two explosions filled the sky with the pungent smell of blood. The massacre had begun to spread through the entire Shenwu Sect!

...

"Lin Chen escaped!"

"What? Didn't the Sect Leader want to nurture him? Why did he run away?"

"The Sect Leader ordered to capture Lin Chen alive!"

Shenwu Sect, halfway up the mountain.

Many Shenwu Sect disciples were puzzled and shocked to see so many Elders taking action. Just what was going on?

Swish~~!

A shadow dashed down the mountainside, and three sword rays shot out in pursuit, slicing across space right in front of the shadow!

The shadow paused, leapt up, and when it landed, all the nearby disciples clearly saw it was Lin Chen!

"Traitor Lin Chen, you actually dared attack the guarding Elders! How can you face the Sect Leader's nurturing of you!"

The three Elders at the Spirit Communication Realm charged over with martial arts, sternly shouting.

"Nurturing my ass! You just covet my alchemy imprint, wanting to imprison me for four years with a bit of medicinal ingredients to steal my alchemy imprint! A bunch of shameless old dogs, since I'm leaving today, anyone who blocks me will die!"

Pressing his palms together, a scorching and violent crystal energy palm seal lit up, and Lin Chen struck out at the three Elders!

"Devil Suppressing Fire King Seal!"

The over 10-meter large battle qi palm seal carrying rolling hot waves smashed ahead, the three Elders' expressions changed greatly. This brat could actually execute such a terrifying skill?!

Boom~~! The energy palm seal exploded out a dozen-meter wide giant crater, and the three blasted Elders fell out, their bodies scorched black.

All the disciples were dumbfounded. The three First Layer Spirit Communication Realm Elders were actually directly knocked back by Lin Chen!?

Several high quality Attribute Spheres flew out of the Elders' bodies. Lin Chen leapt up and grabbed them, about to flee.

"Lin Chen, I thought you were a smart person."

A figure appeared out of nowhere, emerging from a pavilion roof halfway up the mountain, it was the Sect Leader himself!

He looked down at Lin Chen condescendingly, his usually tranquil face for the first time showing shock and fear!

"Farting then blaming the smell, isn't that troublesome, Sect Leader? If you want my alchemy imprint, then come get it yourself."

Lin Chen gave him the middle finger, grinning. But he was secretly rousing his Azure Dragon bloodline!

The Spirit Communication Realm was not something the Lingering Spirit Realm could contend against. None of Lin Chen's current attacks could directly shake someone at the Spirit Communication Realm. His only chance was to catch the opponent unprepared!

"Devil Suppressing Fire King Seal!"

Lin Chen attacked with his full power once more, the aura even stronger. The red energy palm seal surged forth like ten thousand horses galloping!

"This move is at least top green-grade. For such an extremely rare manual, even my sect does not have it. It seems you have many secrets!"

The Sect Leader coldly laughed, lightly waving his sleeve. Several white rays like knife edges easily tore through Lin Chen's Devil Suppressing Fire King Seal!

Just then!

"Slowing Rune!"

[Slowing Rune activated, Rune energy remaining: 450 points.]

A gray white talisman emerged out of thin air, diffusing an ancient and abstruse aura, containing endless mysteries. It enveloped the space around the Sect Leader in a radius of several meters! His attacks and even movements suddenly became extremely slow!

"What is this!?"

For the first time, shock and terror appeared on the Sect Leader's usually tranquil face!

Rip~~!

The air flow collapsed with a shrill scream. Lin Chen's body shape was as swift as a raging fire. Before the other party could react, his entire arm was covered with faint cyan dragon scales, and his fingertips turned into dragon claws!

"Azure Dragon Bloodline Release; 10% Power!"

A ferocious and violent power like the roar of an enraged dragon. Each of the dragon scales radiated the light of the ancient dragon clan. Lin Chen slapped the Sect Leader of the Shenwu Sect on the chest with one palm!

Boom~~!

The gale rose, sweeping the entire mountainside. Shock waves exploded in the void!

"Pfft!"

The Sect Leader of the Shenwu Sect spit blood and was blasted back violently. There was the sound of cracking bones coming from his chest. His whole body was blown away like a cannonball for thousands of meters!

The power of Lin Chen's palm actually reached 18,000 catties!

Even a warrior at the initial stage of the War Spirit Realm, without any defensive measures to withstand such level of power, would be severely injured!

With one palm blast sending the Sect Leader flying, two attribute light balls also fell from his body. Lin Chen casually caught them.

【Host has obtained 13,235 points of Battle Qi Essence and 968 points of Spiritual Power.】

After landing, Lin Chen's face was as pale as paper. He hastily stuffed several Returning Origin Pills into his mouth and circulated the True Water Returning Origin mantra. He immediately turned around and unfolded his lightness techniques, flying swiftly down the mountain!

None of the many disciples and elders on the scene dared to stop him!

More than a thousand disciples were stunned in place by the shock!

Xu Qingfeng, the 25th generation Sect Leader of the Shenwu Sect, a warrior of the War Spirit Realm, was actually blasted away by Lin Chen, who was not even 17 years old, with one move!

From the crowd, someone unknown let out faint gasps and murmurs.

"This guy, is he still human..."
