Martial World's
Ch 793 - The Highest Prize of the Sky
…
…
…
Three days later, a loud explosion rang out as the stone bed Lin Ming was sitting on top of completely collapsed. All of the top grade true essence stones in the space shattered, turning into fine powder.
Lin Ming stood up from the pile of rubble and casually cleaned his hands and feet. His limbs let out a crunching 'ka ka ka' sound and sounded like tofu being fried.
He finally opened the Gate of Miracles!
The Gate of Miracles had the effect of increasing speed and instant acceleration overall. It differs from the Gate of Healing, which manages endurance and restoring ability, and the Gate of Boundaries, which handles balance, coordinated force, and explosive force.
This newly opened gate would be able to increase one's combat effectiveness much more directly than the first two gates.
Speed was one of the most important factors of a comprehensive martial artist's combat strength. It was much easier than endurance, recovery ability, or explosive power!
Speed is undoubtedly important in avoiding and chasing. It would also greatly increase the attack power of martial artists.
As the old saying goes, speed is insurmountable. The speed of a martial artist alone can increase the speed of their own attacks. If their attacks were fast enough, then even small stone stones could easily pierce through the body. If Lin Ming poured his battle spirit into his attack as a foundation, then the resulting power would be even more terrifying.
Lin Ming left the cave, sealing the entrance while exiting. He then jumped into the sky.
Bang out!
The rocks under his feet shattered into pieces as he rose into the air like a rocket. In an instant, he became a streak of blue light that streaked across the endless sky, crossing several miles in the blink of an eye.
A powerful heavenly wind bombarded him, making his hair danced irresistibly in the wind. As he felt himself attaining such extreme speed, Lin Ming was ecstatic; the extreme speed of the Miracle Gate completely surpassed his imagination. If he was already this fast just by relying on his true essence and the Gate of Miracles, then how fast would he be if he also used his movement technique?
As that thought flashed through his mind, Lin Ming stepped on 'Golden Roc Shattering the Void'. His steps became blurry as the space shrank under his feet. In one step, he crossed five or six miles, as the huge mountains that towered thousands of feet into the air were easily crossed by Lin Ming.
When the Gate of Miracles combined with 'Golden Roc Shattering the Void', Lin Ming's speed limit was several times faster than before. This speed was so fast it was even difficult for him to control.
“If I attack in this condition …. ”
Lin Ming's thoughts stirred. A red spear appeared in his hand as the two Concepts of Thunder and Fire united as he poured a huge, successful bronze battle spirit into his attack.
Penetrating Rainbow!
Woosh!
A brilliant spear light flashed across the sky like sunlight. Lin Ming completely fused himself into this light, becoming one with his spear. He then disappeared like a meteor crossing the horizon.
When he reappeared, Lin Ming had already traveled a dozen miles in the void. He found a huge canyon and thrust his spear into a 10,000-foot cliff.
Bang out!
Lin Ming pierced the side of the cliff like a tofu, penetrating all the way until he poked out from the other side!
Lin Ming's spear move was established at the limit of his speed, along with the dual Concepts of Thunder and Fire, and the sharpness of his battle spirit. With such a combination, even the side of the cliff that had been strengthened by the baptism being near the Sea of Miracles had been pierced by Lin Ming's spear.
Rustle ….
After Lin Ming surged out of the several foot wide hole he had left in the middle of the mountain cliff, a huge puff of stone powder fell from within. Under the Concept of the Fire Destruction Law, the crushed stones turned into dust, blowing and dancing into the wind. For a while, the entire canyon was covered by a faint cloud of faint dust.
"My strength has increased again after opening one-third of the Eight Inner Hidden Gates. If I were to meet the Corpsmancer now, I should be able to defeat him much easier than in the past! ”
As Lin Ming thought of this, he flew away from the barren and desolate land he was currently in and towards the city.
He needed to enter the city to purchase some heavenly materials in order to continue practicing and refining alchemy techniques. Lin Ming also had to start making final preparations to impact on the Life Destruction realm.
However, just as he was thinking of buying heavenly materials, Lin Ming suddenly thought of a very miserable and desperate thing. It was ... he did not have a spirit essence stone.
Lin Ming had many treasures on him, such as the Cosmic Melting Furnace, his Demon Emperor Armor, the heaven-step Demon God bone, and the Concept jade slip that Fairy Feng had handed to him. However, it was impossible for him to exchange those things for spirit essence stones. None of his remaining possessions were also too precious.
When Lin Ming killed Xuan Wuji and the masters of the Polar Sky Scratch Tower, he managed to amass a lot of wealth. Relative to his current level, however, all that wealth was almost nonexistent at all. After all, he had already spent most of it.
Now, other than the few heaven-step treasures left on him, all of his items combined would not even surpass 5000 spirit essence stones.
That was roughly equal to the net value of the ordinary second stage Life Destruction powerhouses of the four heavenly Kingdoms.
Lin Ming considered relying on alchemy techniques to make money, but then decided that it would only waste too much time. The only reason he had managed to concoct the Fivefade Void Pill in less than half a year was because he was training without any caution or treatment to burn the ingredients. Only by freely spending all sorts of precious and material objects in his practice was he able to forcefully improve his skills in alchemy.
This kind of practice method would only burn money; it was impossible for him to make money.
………………. .
Skyflower Province, Blue Cloud City –
The Skyflower Province was the smallest of the nine provinces of the Nine Heavenly Furnace Kingdom. However, its prosperity and success was second only to the Central Province. All the major powers had gathered here in the capital of the Skyflower Province, Blue Cloud City, which was also the headquarters of the Hundred Treasure Auction House. In each square, there were countless treasure pavilions and pill medicine shops. This city could even be called paved with gold.
The majority of the young martial artists walking the streets were all outstanding individuals. There were many of them who had reached the Xiantian realm at the age of 20 and the Revolving Core at the age of 30.
If this was in the South Horizon Region, these people could all be called direct disciples of a large sect.
In the center of Blue Cloud City was a bustling and bustling restaurant with people flowing in and out. Since this restaurant was close to a large auction house, most of the customers here were martial artists.
Lin Ming wore his wood spirit jade mask and casually sat in a corner of the restaurant as he ordered some small dishes of various ferocious beast meat and spirit vegetables. He lifted the corner of his wood spirit mask and ate at a moderate speed.
At this moment, a conversation conducted by some martial artists suddenly caught his attention.
"Have you heard the rash news that came out about Lin Lanjian a few days ago?" A 30-40 year old man with a cherry red face said as he sipped wine.
"Who doesn't know him? With his late Revolving Core cultivation, he was able to kill a Corpsmancer and rank in the Destiny Decree. He was called an immortal rare talent! ”The big man's words immediately drew laughter from all the surrounding martial artists. He looked back at the person drinking and said, "Are you a stranger here?"
“Hehe, that is not what I am talking about. I'm talking about the latest news to get out. "The drinker cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention to him. Then, with a selfish attitude he said, "Lin Lanjian's cultivation method is certain to have been stolen from the Asura heavenly Kingdom. Moreover, the armor he was wearing was the sacred treasure of the Asura Divine Kingdom. They thought it was long gone, but it really fell into Lin Lanjian's hands! ”
"What's!? Lin Lanjian stole his cultivation method from the Asura Heavenly Kingdom? Are you sure about this? ”The surrounding martial artists were shocked. This is a big event. Whether it was a sect or a heavenly Kingdom, their most important treasure was their inheritance. Once this legacy was leaked into the outside world, then this would cause their foundations to be shaken!
This was a matter that the Holy Land or the Holy Kingdom would never tolerate. Thus, for anyone who stole their cultivation, there was only one appraisal for them.
That's – deaths!
“This is absolutely right. It was said that Lin Lanjian or his master killed some important people from the Asura heavenly Kingdom and stole their spatial rings. This spatial ring contained the 'Great Desolate Halberd Art' jade slip'! ”
"So it's like that!"
All the surrounding martial artists seemed to believe this, even if only a little. Since the Asura Heavenly Kingdom said that Lin Lanjian's cultivation method was stolen from them, then there must be some similarities between Lin Lanjian's cultivation method and their own. It was impossible for them to fabricate a story on this kind of matter. Otherwise, if Lin Lanjian's cultivation method was completely different from the 'Great Desolate Halberd Art' of the Asura Kingdom, then these rumors would collapse on themselves after being proven wrong.
'The 'Great Desolate Halberd Art' was the secret legacy of the Asura Divine Kingdom. No matter how strong Lin Lanjian or his master was, it was impossible for them to break into the vault of the Asura heavenly Kingdom and steal their inheritance. Thus, the only other explanation was that they killed the direct descendants of the Asura Heavenly Kingdom and then obtained the jade slip of the 'Great Desolate Halberd Art'.
Although many martial artists also wanted to do this, this was only a shameful and embarrassing matter that had ever been revealed. Now, all of these martial artists felt that there was something questionable about Lin Lanjian's morals. It is likely that he is a corrupt and fraudulent individual.
In fact, the majority of martial artists believed this. At least, most of those in this restaurant believe this.
"What's the problem with the armor Lin Lanjian is wearing?" Other martial artists kept asking.
"It was the Demon Emperor Armor. The Asura Divine Kingdom already had the mirror bodyguard of the Demon Emperor Armor, which just so happened to actually match Lin Lanjian's armor! The armor had been lost for countless years now, and to think that it had actually appeared with Lin Lanjian! There must be a problem with this Lan Lan Lanjian! ”
All the discussions of martial artists fell into Lin Ming's ears. He calmly listened the entire time as he slowly ate his food. The actions of the Asura Divine Kingdom were much more shameless than he had imagined. They had released such rumors to encourage more people to look for him. Another reason for such rumors was to make up his own true reason for taking his things.
The general public was much more likely to believe in the heavenly Kingdom with a 'long and glorious inheritance' than they believed in a lone and unknown martial artist like Lin Ming. After all, the idea that the 'Great Art Desolate Halberd' and 'Demon Emperor Armor' belonged to the Asura Heavenly Kingdom had already deeply rooted into the hearts of the people.
"It looks like the Asura Heavenly Kingdom has directed their eyes at me. They should have posted a gift in my head. ”
Lin Ming sinisterly smiled as he downed a glass of wine.
The words of the surrounding martial artists indeed confirmed Lin Ming's suspicions.
"The Asura heavenly kingdom will never tolerate something like this continuing. Lin Lanjian really supported him this time around. ”
"Of course . A warrant for his arrest has already been sent; it should be posted at any time now. It was said that the Asura Heavenly Kingdom would reward 100,000 spirit essence stones for anyone who could give them a clue about Lan Lanjian's whereabouts. If one could capture Lin Lanjian alive, then they would reward them with a high heaven reward of 300,000 spirit essence stones, high-quality pills, and even a middle-grade heavenly step treasure! ”
The words of the big fellow sent the hearts of all the martial artists present swiftly fluttering. Although it was naturally impossible for them to think about capturing Lin Lanjian alive, there was a small possibility to provide clues.
100,000 spirit essence stones! This is an unimaginable amount. It should be known that the slightly less influential Prince, whose cultivation had yet to reach Life Destruction, would only have a total wealth of 40,000-50,000 spirit essence stones.
If they could obtain this amount of wealth, then they could purchase pills of any amount to increase their cultivation. If they were lucky and managed to break through the second or third stage of Life Destruction, then they could even enjoy at least two thousand years of life.
