At this moment, Lin San closed his eyes, basking in the endless flow of energy surging into his body!
The energy was incredibly rich.
As this energy continuously poured into his body, Lin San's cultivation technique kept circulating.
In an instant, the energy was being rapidly absorbed.
Lin San's strength began to grow steadily.
Although Lin San was meditating with his eyes closed, none of the other Martial Gods dared to approach him.
No one dared to make any rash moves either.
The combat prowess Lin San had displayed earlier was simply terrifying.
Such overwhelming power was something they had only ever seen from a nine-star Martial God.
Could this man actually be a nine-star Martial God?
Yet, from what they sensed, his energy fluctuations seemed to only reach about the level of an eight-star Martial God.
"I'm about to break through."
Lin San could feel the immense power within his body nearing its peak.
It wouldn't be long before he would break through!
Opening his eyes, Lin San walked toward one of the statues.
He focused on the inscriptions etched into the statue, continuing to comprehend the technique he hadn't fully grasped earlier.
The other Martial Gods, meanwhile, paid him no attention.
Time was precious, and they were all focused on their own enlightenment.
Time passed quickly.
The faint glow emanating from Lin San's body intensified.
In that moment, an immense force erupted from within him!
Boom—
The area around Lin San trembled as explosive energy surged from his body, accompanied by a powerful shockwave.
"He broke through...!?"
The surrounding Martial Gods, witnessing this, were filled with shock.
"Whew, finally broke through."
Lin San opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.
He could now clearly feel the overwhelming power coursing through his entire body.
He hadn't expected to reach the level of an eight-star Martial God in such a short time.
And with the Ye Fan Sword in hand, it seemed that reaching nine-star wouldn't take much longer!
Crack, crack—
At that moment, Lin San heard a series of cracking sounds.
What is that sound?
Lin San frowned and looked ahead.
To his surprise, he saw that the statue in front of him was covered in cracks!
Boom—
In the next moment, the statue shattered into dust!
"What's this..."
Lin San was momentarily stunned by the scene.
"Could it be that once I comprehend the techniques recorded here, the statue destroys itself?"
Lin San muttered to himself.
Upon closer inspection, the other statues around him also began to crumble one by one.
It seemed that nothing valuable remained here.
Lin San, seeing this, thought to himself.
Boom—
Suddenly, a wall in front of them exploded, revealing a new passage!
The Martial Gods, upon seeing this, lit up with excitement.
Most of them had comprehended nothing from this area.
Now, seeing the passage, they rushed toward it eagerly.
In their minds, since they had gained nothing here, they should leave quickly to explore the other passageways!
Roar—
But just as some of the Martial Gods rushed into the passage, a deafening roar echoed through the air!
Boom—
A massive explosion erupted from within the passage.
A wave of crimson flames surged forth, engulfing the bodies of the Martial Gods!
"Ahhhh!!!"
Screams of agony filled the air.
"What... is happening!?"
The remaining Martial Gods, who hadn't entered the passage yet, shuddered in fear.
It was terrifying.
The passage was releasing flames of such intensity that it seemed as though the flames would burn them into ashes.
The air temperature around them began to rise dramatically!
In the next moment, another loud roar came from the passage.
Several enormous figures began charging out of the passage!
"Eight-star Demon Beasts, Crimson Flame Beasts!!!"
The Martial Gods, seeing the creatures emerge, were filled with shock.
These demon beasts were creatures with bodies engulfed in crimson flames!
Their mouths gaped open, and with every breath they took, flames spewed forth.
The surrounding temperature had now reached its peak!
"Damn it..."
The Martial Gods watching were struck with dread.
They had never expected so many Crimson Flame Beasts to appear.
If they didn't quickly kill these beasts, there was no way to pass through the passage!
At the entrance of the passage, two Crimson Flame Beasts were blocking the way!
Roar—
One of the Crimson Flame Beasts roared and charged straight at Lin San!
"Hmph!"
Lin San snorted coldly at the sight.
Without hesitation, he gripped the Ye Fan Sword tightly and charged forward to meet the beast!
With a thought, a terrifying wave of sword qi burst forth!
As Lin San rushed forward, the Ye Fan Sword, brimming with sword qi, slashed through the air.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
The powerful sword qi shot out instantly.
It struck the body of the Crimson Flame Beast in a flash.
The overwhelming sword qi dispersed the flames erupting from the beast's body.
The sword qi then pierced straight into the beast's body!
Black-gold blood spurted from the beast.
Roar—
The Crimson Flame Beast let out a roar of pain.
It then spewed forth a terrifying wave of fire from its mouth, aiming to burn Lin San!
But Lin San reacted swiftly, dodging the flames in an instant.
The fire struck the ground where Lin San had just stood.
The entire ground was instantly melted by the terrifying heat of the flames!
Lin San's abilities were already closely tied to fire.
This scorching heat was nothing to him!
