C1381 Unsealing
During his time at Jade Dragon Mountain, Lin Xuan had intended to use the arrows in one go. He also had the mountain's protective grand array as a backup plan. Had he not been at Jade Dragon Mountain, encountering an unprepared adversary elsewhere could have spelled danger. He recognized the need for a more regularly usable weapon.
After some deliberation, the only suitable choice seemed to be the enigmatic Terminator Sword. Lin Xuan speculated that the sword might be an entity far surpassing anything he could imagine. He held great expectations for the Terminator Sword, though it wasn't indispensable. If he couldn't win a fight, couldn't he still run away? The Terminator Sword was more of a luxury than a necessity.
Lin Xuan gazed at the black sword floating before him, his expression pensive. He was momentarily at a loss for how to proceed. In a previous attempt to unlock its potential, he had used the energy from a Crimson Blood Soul Refining Stone. Deciding to continue in that vein, Lin Xuan channeled his own Pill Essence into the Terminator Sword. It immediately glowed with a faint black luminescence. However, even after some time, there was no discernible change.
"The Terminator Sword is still at the Emperor Level. How can I elevate it to the Emperor Level?" Lin Xuan mused, confident that the Terminator Sword was at least an Emperor Level Spirit weapon. He might not have been able to identify the material of the sword, but its hardness certainly surpassed that of the Emperor Level material, Xingchen Gold Crystal, that he possessed. Its sharpness was also noteworthy; even with his current Emperor Level physique, Lin Xuan wasn't entirely sure he could withstand it. Yet, the aura it exuded remained at the Emperor Level. After some thought, an idea began to form in Lin Xuan's mind.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xuan had an idea. A terrifying pressure erupted from him, spreading into the void in all directions, as if it were freezing the very space around him. This was unmistakably the power of an Emperor.
Although Lin Xuan was not a Half-level Emperor and did not inherently possess Emperor power, he was capable of mimicking it. He had experienced it numerous times before, and his own strength was nearly on par. The robustness of his physique and the quality of his Pill Essence were sufficient to sustain the Emperor's might.
However, other peak Emperor Level cultivators, despite having felt this power many times, lacked the foundational depth to conjure the Emperor's might themselves.
Simultaneously, Lin Xuan continued to channel Pill Essence without pause. He firmly believed that energy was a key factor in breaking seals. This time, his luck was in. Before long, the Terminator Sword began to transform. Its originally pitch-black material started to thin out, seemingly purging itself of black impurities. While its shape remained largely unchanged, its power was on the rise.
It was as though the sword had absorbed the Emperor power and Pill Essence that Lin Xuan had infused into it. Quickly, the sword's might exceeded that of the Emperor Level, ascending to an even higher tier. Like a tangible force, it sent ripples expanding in every direction, covering the entire sky in an endless cascade.
Below, every martial artist within the Elemental Spirit Hall felt the Emperor's might at that moment. Instantly, regardless of their level of cultivation, they were all rooted to the spot. Their Vitality stagnated, and their Profound Cores ceased to function. It was as if their hearts had been struck by a massive hammer, leaving their faces deathly pale and their bodies completely immobilized.
In that instant, the entire region of the Elemental Spirit Hall was plunged into silence. It was as if time had stopped, creating a scene both eerie and surreal. Yet, even as their bodies refused to obey, their minds remained active. The martial artists realized they were paralyzed, as if space itself had solidified and a mountainous pressure weighed upon them. Fear and terror gripped everyone, including the highest-ranking, peak Emperor Level Elemental Spirit. None could comprehend what had just occurred, but the reality of their helplessness and inability to harness their strength was undeniable.
Their fates were beyond their control, a terrifying realization indeed.
They were at a loss as to why such events would occur.
Within a single day, two earth-shattering changes had taken place.
It was more than they could handle.
Yet, it must be Lin Xuan's handiwork, mustn't it?
After all, if it were anyone else, wouldn't Lin Xuan have been alerted?
Lin Xuan's strength was immeasurable, and they had great confidence in him.
Protecting the sect was surely within his capabilities.
Having surrendered, they believed Lin Xuan would ensure their safety.
They still had significant value to Lin Xuan.
The only ones unaffected were the Martial Puppet and Tian.
The Martial Puppet, having experienced the Emperor's Might multiple times, had somewhat adjusted.
Though slightly affected, it retained the ability to move and showed no sign of panic.
Without a doubt, this was Lin Xuan's doing.
On the vast Dongyuan Continent, no one but Lin Xuan could wield the Emperor's Might.
One could only wonder what had transpired with Lin Xuan this time. Had he perhaps come into possession of another Emperor Level Treasure?
The Martial Puppet speculated silently, filled with awe.
Tian, however, was completely unaffected.
As the Heavenly Warring Dragon with the True Dragon Bloodline, its status was exceedingly high, and its potential knew no bounds.
It was beyond the reach of the Emperor's Might.
Thankfully, the oppressive force that had shrouded the Elemental Spirit Hall area soon receded like the ebbing tide.
Calm was restored as if nothing had ever occurred.
Yet numerous martial cultivators were drenched in sweat, their eyes wide with residual fear.
At last, the ordeal had passed.
Though the Emperor Level Martial Cultivators could not withstand it, they could sense the direction from which the formidable power had come and gone.
They pinpointed its origin to True Martial Peak.
Seated atop that peak was none other than Lin Xuan.
The fearsome pressure had indeed emanated from him.
Though they had scarcely felt such might before and lacked certainty, they were unaware that it was the might of an emperor.
The overwhelming presence and sheer power left them utterly defenseless, a fact they could not deny. In that moment, they were acutely aware of the extent of Lin Xuan's formidable and profound strength. Merely his aura was enough to render them all immobile.
Within the Elemental Spirit Sect, they likely seemed as insignificant as ants under his control. A Martial Cultivator of such magnitude, evidently surpassing an Emperor Level, theoretically should not exist on the Dongyuan Continent in this era. Yet, here he was, a reality they had to face.
The Emperor Level Martial Cultivators abandoned any lingering hope of fortune and discarded their previous scheming thoughts. In the face of such an entity, as unfathomable as the abyss itself, it was wise to remain in awe.
Moreover, their confidence swelled regarding the imminent conflict with the Devil Cloud Sect. Despite the Devil Cloud Sect being a more formidable adversary than the Elemental Spirit Sect, it was considered the most powerful entity on the Dongyuan Continent.
