Chapter 413: Chapter 330: Subjugation, Buddha’s Golden Body, and the Ruins

Crack—crack—crack—

The Nine-Eyed Taotie sent out another wave of sonic command, but this time, it wasn’t to attack Lin Chang’sheng—it was to issue orders to all the Bloodthirsty Taoties.

In an instant, every Bloodthirsty Taotie attacking the city received the Nine-Eyed Taotie’s signal and halted their assault. They let out furious roars, turned, and surged toward Lin Chang’sheng’s position.

"Looks like holding back isn’t an option!"

Lin Chang’sheng stopped playing around, realizing the Nine-Eyed Taotie was a formidable enemy—there was no way to win without going all out.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chang’sheng unleashed his Celestial Wasteland Dragon Divine Body.

Roar—

A deep dragon’s cry erupted from within Lin Chang’sheng, as a massive Five-Clawed Golden Dragon soared into the sky, circled the heavens, and then dove back into his body.

This instantly granted Lin Chang’sheng immense reinforcement to his physical strength.

He leaped directly from the Middle Stage of Divinity Transformation to its Late Stage.

"Celestial Ghost Devouring God Technique!"

Lin Chang’sheng activated the Celestial Ghost Secret Technique once more, burning his life force to obtain an explosive boost in primordial power.

Lin Chang’sheng’s primordial power surged wildly within him, finally breaking through the bottleneck and ascending to Late Stage of Divinity Transformation.

With both secret techniques empowering him, Lin Chang’sheng felt a boundless energy welling up inside.

"Die!"

Lin Chang’sheng called forth the Heaven-Opening Saber and, in a flash, slashed down toward the Nine-Eyed Taotie.

Woooooooo—

A crescent-shaped blade aura tore from the saber, rending space itself, twisting even the void—a testament to the devastating force of this attack.

Yet the Nine-Eyed Taotie’s confidence as a Demon King remained unshaken. It made no move to dodge, instead raising its massive ears to block the blow.

Boom—

But this strike was much stronger than before.

The blade aura broke through their defenses the moment it collided, splitting it wide open.

This was no ordinary blow—it was Lin Chang’sheng’s most powerful attack, the Celestial God World Destruction Slash.

Wielded with a Middle Grade Celestial Spirit Treasure, its power was terrifyingly magnified.

In one stroke, the saber rent the Demon King’s defenses. Even the Nine-Eyed Taotie couldn’t escape unscathed—its shoulder and arm were cleaved, swathes of bloody flesh sent flying by the blade aura.

The ground beneath the Nine-Eyed Taotie was carved open, leaving a chasm with no discernible bottom.

"Become my Spirit Beast, and I’ll spare your life!"

Lin Chang’sheng barked, hoping the Nine-Eyed Taotie could understand him.

But the beast remained unmoved, its ears twitching to unleash another sonic wave.

In the next instant, countless Bloodthirsty Taoties had surrounded Lin Chang’sheng, hemmed in from all directions, drowning him in a feral tide.

"If you won’t accept my mercy, then you’ll face my wrath!"

Seeing the Nine-Eyed Taotie refuse to yield, Lin Chang’sheng showed no mercy in return.

He swung his saber relentlessly, chasing after the Nine-Eyed Taotie.

Though flight was impossible in this place, Lin Chang’sheng’s divine sense locked seamlessly onto his foe—no matter how the Nine-Eyed Taotie fled, escape was futile.

The mass of Bloodthirsty Taoties seemed endless, but none could truly threaten Lin Chang’sheng; the strongest among them only possessed Nascent Soul cultivation, while most ranged from Golden Core Middle Stage to the Peak.

Any Bloodthirsty Taotie blocking his path was cut down by his blade aura.

In moments, Lin Chang’sheng carved a path of carnage, swiftly closing in on the Nine-Eyed Taotie.

Even protected by dozens of demon kings, Lin Chang’sheng showed no fear—his fist aura raged forth.

Roar—

Golden dragons coiled around his fist aura—the Heaven-Shaking Divine Dragon Fist in full display.

Boom! Boom! Boom!—

The demon kings were blasted away by the Dragon Fist; even the Nine-Eyed Taotie couldn’t take it.

Lin Chang’sheng’s fist landed on its abdomen, making it vomit torrents of blood, its aura lessening drastically as it collapsed, howling in pain.

Not missing a beat, Lin Chang’sheng seized the opportunity, stepped up to the weakened Nine-Eyed Taotie, and bit open his finger, pressing it to its brow to forge the Divine Soul Contract Technique.

At first, the Nine-Eyed Taotie struggled fiercely, but found that it was useless—its struggles only worsened its injuries.

In the end, it was forced to sign the Master-Servant Contract with Lin Chang’sheng.

Soon after, a new connection appeared within Lin Chang’sheng’s sea of consciousness.

"Human, you’re despicable!"

A deep, booming voice resounded in his mind.

Lin Chang’sheng let out a faint smile, knowing that the bond with the Nine-Eyed Taotie was now established.

"Survival of the fittest, isn’t that the law? Relax, with me, you won’t be mistreated. There’ll be no shortage of fine food and drink for you!"

Lin Chang’sheng said in satisfaction.

He soon discovered that, after forming the contract with the Nine-Eyed Taotie, his physical strength had received a considerable boost—and his lifespan had increased by 500 years.

It might not compare to Sword Elder, but still, it was a welcome gain.

Then Lin Chang’sheng tried to control the army of Bloodthirsty Taoties, directing them to move.

To his delight, the dense ranks of Taotie warriors were frighteningly obedient, obeying every command—even if their numbers, barely thirty thousand, couldn’t match the one hundred thousand Heaven-Devouring Worms he’d commanded before.

Still, each individual Bloodthirsty Taotie was far stronger—even mightier than a Heaven-Devouring Insect King.

"If Bloodthirsty Taoties evolve by devouring, what if I have them consume all one hundred thousand Heaven-Devouring Worms? Might they become even more powerful?"

Lin Chang’sheng mused to himself.

Since his contract with the Heaven-Devouring Worms was also a Master-Servant Contract, even if all one hundred thousand worms perished, he’d suffer no loss at all.

Besides, the Heaven-Devouring Worms’ strength was no longer enough—the Insect King was merely Golden Core Late Stage, most others only at Foundation Establishment.

These Bloodthirsty Taoties, though fewer, were mostly Golden Core Late Stage, and the Nine-Eyed Taotie was Late Stage of Divinity Transformation—far beyond the Worms’ power.

At that, Lin Chang’sheng called out all one hundred thousand Heaven-Devouring Worms from his Spirit Beast Bag.

He then ordered the Bloodthirsty Taoties to devour them.

As the Bloodthirsty Taoties continued to feast, their power began to rapidly evolve.

The majority actually advanced from Golden Core Late Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Not bad, not bad! Even though there are only thirty thousand Bloodthirsty Taoties, more than ten thousand are now Nascent Soul Stage—and the Nine-Eyed Taotie is about to break into Void Refining. They’ll be a tremendous asset in the future."

Lin Chang’sheng was very satisfied, then stored all thirty thousand Bloodthirsty Taoties back into his Spirit Beast Bag.

Having dealt with the Bloodthirsty Taoties, Lin Chang’sheng hurried to catch up with his team.

By the time Lin Chang’sheng rejoined the group, they’d already left the city. The original team of more than forty was now down to thirty-two.

The rest of the elite disciples had fallen in the city.

"Why are you all holding those things?"

Lin Chang’sheng looked at the disciples holding candlesticks, stools, and pillows, baffled.

"Brother Lin, these things drive away demon beasts. With them, the monsters don’t dare approach!"

Ziyue explained truthfully.

This surprised Lin Chang’sheng even more. Did these objects really have such power?

"What’s going on here?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked the Nine-Eyed Taotie.

"Because a mighty figure entered nirvana in the temple, those objects are imbued with their aura. The demon beasts dare not approach!"

The Nine-Eyed Taotie replied honestly.

"A mighty figure entered nirvana? No wonder!"

Lin Chang’sheng immediately realized—so someone had attained nirvana in this temple. Did that mean there was an ancient corpse and treasures inside?

"Elder Sword Immortal, there’s a cave up ahead. Take the disciples and hide there; I’m going back to the temple to check if any disciples are still left behind!"

Lin Chang’sheng instructed the Wine Sword Immortal, then turned to return to the temple within the city.

"Could it be... he perished here?"

Hearing the Taotie’s explanation, Sword Elder was taken aback.

If that mighty one truly entered nirvana here, then Lin Chang’sheng was about to hit the jackpot.

Lin Chang’sheng had no idea what was on Sword Elder’s mind—but hearing of a mighty being’s nirvana here, he guessed there must be treasures left behind.

Even if there were no treasures, the physical body would still be valuable. Lin Chang’sheng had no intention of missing out.

When Lin Chang’sheng returned to the city, everything was silent once more.

Quiet as a shadow, he made his way into the temple again.

Upon entering, Lin Chang’sheng saw that all the items that had once been set up before the Buddha statue had been carried off by the disciples.

The temple now felt echoingly empty.

"Where could the body be?"

Lin Chang’sheng muttered, staring at the empty temple.

However, when his gaze landed on the stone pedestal where the Buddha statue once stood, his brows furrowed slightly.

Boom—

With a single palm strike, Lin Chang’sheng unleashed a surge of primordial power and shattered the stone platform.

In the next instant, a golden, glass-like Buddha body was revealed to his sight.

"So it really is him?"

But seeing the radiant golden Buddha corpse, Sword Elder’s heart trembled.

Back then, he’d chased this man for years; who’d have thought his final end would be enlightenment here—it was truly fate’s design!
