Chapter 150: Growing Stronger

In the dangerous lands of the Door of a Thousand Caves

It's not easy here.

Lin Fan stood in place, completely still. He then raised his head and looked up. The sky was turbid and had nine blood-colored suns and moons hanging in the sky, exuding a strange atmosphere.

The ground was dark brown, with no vegetation in sight. Only strange rocks were rising from the ground. The entire scene gave the feeling of entering hell. When he looked into the distance, all he could see was endless gray. He had no idea where it would lead or what was there.

Earth energy cannot be replenished. It was still possible to absorb earth energy in the Thousand Deep Cave to make up for the exhausted earth energy, but after entering the Door of a Thousand Caves, he could not even absorb a drop from the atmosphere.

If one didn't make preparations and bring enough pills to restore earth energy, one could forget about escaping this place after venturing deeper. But that was not a problem for him at all. If his earth energy was exhausted, he could just push a sword into himself. If he was annoyed and upset, he could push a sword into himself. Everything could be solved with a sword into himself.

Lin Fan wasn't in a hurry to venture deeper. Rather, he started searching for a safer place. Then, he took out all the things he had gained just now and began using them, trying to push his cultivation to the fourth level of the Earth Star Border Realm.

Now that he had plenty of experience points, all that was left was to improve his attributes.

Those Sunshine Sect disciples were indeed lucky. Originally, Lin Fan thought that there was only one Yin and Yang Pill, but he found four, surprisingly. He took them right away. Their potency spread all over his body at once, affecting the violent earth energy in his body, forming a yin and yang pattern that kept circling around itself continuously. Lin Fan's former violent earth energy began to soften slowly.

He had reached the realm of yin and yang unity. He could switch between rigidity and softness with a flash of his thought. The earth energy in his palm swirled, taking all kinds of forms. It was far easier than before; it changed its shape at his will instantly.

After taking this Hundred Beast Pill, the density of my earth energy will double. Lin Fan looked at the precious pill in his hand for a moment before throwing it straight into his mouth. It started melting immediately as a tremendous amount of energy broke out in his body. Its ocean-like vast potency took forms of various monsters before rushing toward all parts of his body.

There was even a drop of blood in this medicinal energy that flew out, trying to merge with Lin Fan's blood. It might've been quite desirable to others, but it was completely unnecessary for him.

You monsters aren't qualified to be integrated into my bloodline.My current bloodline is already the purest. The hundred-beast bloodline might be very strong, but after changing my bloodline, God knows what I will turn into. Who knows what monsters this pill is made of?

Refine!

Lin Fan started refining this drop of blood into earth energy, strengthening his own foundation.

Boom!

The drops of monster blood started dissipating as a fearsome energy swept through his body.

Lin Fan opened his eyes after some unknown period of time. An intelligent gleam immediately flashed past his eyes. His entire body was surging with earth energy. He had reached the peak state.

His experience points were sufficient already, and now, he could improve his cultivation.

Promote, Lin Fan muttered in his mind.

3,000,000 experience points consumed.

Cultivation base: Earth Star Border Stage Four.

When Lin Fan broke through this barrier, changes started to take place in his body. Especially the earth energy, which became more solid.

My current strength is at least several times greater than before. Even if I don't activate Violent Body, Cruel Blood, or God of Internals, Zhongchi, I could still smash those two guys into paste with one punch.

Lin Fan started to grow excited, feeling the surging strength in his body.Sure enough, I really like it when my strength improves.

This time, I've gained quite a fortune. Especially the Mystic-class pills, there are quite a lot of them. Of course, while the Mystic-class pills might still be useful to me, it's not by much. It would be better to take them back and give it to Junior Brothers and Sisters.

But this Ying Sheng plundered a lot of good stuff. He even had a middle-grade Earth-class pill, the Pill of Wind, Fire, and Disaster, which is taken when breaking through to the seventh stage of the Earth Star Border Realm. It uses natural disasters, wind, and fire to temper oneself. Not only can it form an earth energy body, it can also transform the earth energy, bringing a qualitative change to it.

After coming out of the cave, Lin Fan felt the hard black-brown rock and smacked it. The rock immediately broke into pieces with a loud bang.

Awesome! The feeling of having power feels so good.

He then focused his gaze into the distance.This Door of a Thousand Caves is completely tailored for me. Although I don't know what will be inside, it sure is a good place for training myself.

Lin Fan could not bear it as he thought of those guys in the sect.They actually dare to send people to kill me? When I have finished training, I will return and smash you all away, one by one.

And I hear that Liu Ruochen will be welcoming the religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect, who has ascended to the peak of life. Whether he has or not, I will still smash his head and vent all my frustration.

Monsters, come out, come out, wherever you are. I need points now, make me stronger.

Lin Fan broke into a crazed laughter as he walked to the depths of the Door of a Thousand Caves. Others might've needed to be careful, but this place was nothing more than a paradise to him.

In the Sunshine Sect

The man in yellow returned carrying the corpses. When he arrived at the gates, he knelt down on the ground and started crying, exhausted and heartbroken.

Help! Help, Elders! Senior Brother Luo, Junior Brother Zhang, and Junior Brother Yan are dead.

He sounded extremely pitiful and miserable. At the same time, he was on his last leg. He could only escape only after pretending to be dead.

Several figures flew out from the depths of the sect. When they saw the corpses lying on the ground, all of their faces sank. One of the elders with sparse hair was burning with anger. A terrifying pressure immediately swept in all directions, forcing the man in yellow to lie on the ground.

Tell me, what happened?

The man in yellow broke into tears. We were training in the Thousand Deep Cave when we encountered disciples of the Magnificent Flame Sect. They attacked us and killed Senior Brother and Junior Brothers.

How many were they?

Two, the man in yellow replied shiveringly. When he said this, a violent force smacked him flying into the distance, causing him to spurt blood before lying still on the ground.

Waste, you were killed by two people? Why didn't you just die there? The elder was very angry, his eyes burned with fury. Magnificent Flame Sect, good, very good. I never thought that you would kill my sect disciples after the armistice. You need to be ready to take our anger.

His figure disappeared immediately afterward. He didn't care about the life and death of these people. He just thought that these disciples had brought disgrace to the sect.

Inside the dangerous lands of the Door of a Thousand Caves

Lin Fan swung his mace, smashing the last monster into smithereens, dying the dark-brown ground completely red.

I have enough points now.

Comprehended the Divine Art of Startling Dragons.

-60,000 points.

Lin Fan let out a roar. The earth energy in his body was in turmoil. In a flash, a mash of dragon energy broke out from his body, circling around him and taking the form of a divine dragon.

As I expected, it's a very strong skillset. It actually makes my blood and energy seethe completely. This Mo Jingzhe wasn't stingy at all. I like it.

Lin Fan broke into laughter. Dark blue veins slowly surfaced, forming a dense and complex network. His dancing hair immediately stood straight behind him like arrows.

He looked up and let out a roar. A fearsome pressure broke out from him as spiderweb-like crack began to spread around him.

A dragon-shaped beam of light shot into the sky as if a divine dragon was flying into the sky. It became tangible for a moment before swooping down, gathering inside his body. Soon, the bulging blue veins disappeared.

The Divine Art of Startling Dragons (First Level)

Specialty: Accompanied by dragon form, earth energy boost, strength boost, Startling Dragon Palm.

That's more like it! It's really strong. Lin Fan was completely satisfied with himself.

He had the confidence that he could improve his cultivation in the shortest time as long as he had sufficient points.

Comprehending the Divine Art of Startling Dragons has pushed my strength to new heights again. I wonder how strong of an opponent I can defeat now.

If I let others know that I'm only in the fourth stage of the Earth Star Border Realm and yet have all these amazing skillsets, I might scare them to death.

Swish!

A group of monsters in the distance were preparing to eat Lin Fan, but they were scared by Lin Fan's sudden burst of strength. They immediately retreated, trying to escape.

Lin Fan looked into the distance with a smile hanging on his lips. The monsters actually know fear? But unfortunately, you guys are mine.

Boom!

His figure streaked through the air as a divine dragon phantom rose from his back and let out a roar.

Startling Dragon Palm.

The earth energy in Lin Fan's body was completely seething. The fabric of space and time seemed as if it would rupture any second under his palm. There wasn't anything similar to this in all the skillsets Lin Fan had trained up till now. The circulation of earth energy allowed a wide range of skills, but only after comprehending the Divine Art of Startling Dragons could he completely use his earth energy flexibly.

With a combination of hardness and flexibility, his earth energy metamorphosed into dragon claws and enveloped every monster under it and pressed down on them.

Bang!

The ground inside the Door of a Thousand Caves was similar to the pitch-black rocks in the Thousand Deep Cave. It was extremely hard, but a pit had appeared under Lin Fan's palm. The blood of monsters filled it completely.

Lin Fan's points kept going up.

Lin Fan carried his hands behind his back with an indifferent expression on his face, but a tsunami was raging in his heart.

What a strong attack! It actually consumed one tenth of my earth energy. I'm sure that fool Mo Jingzhe has practiced the Divine Art of Startling Dragons to a higher level after cultivating for so long. It seems he was hiding his strength when he was facing Luo Zhengyi.

Well, well, so he wasn't really a fool. He knew when to hide things.

However, it may be that because his cultivation is higher, he can release stronger attacks, but Mo Jingzhe's earth energy is not as strong as my own.

When I return to the sect, I am afraid everyone will be shocked. How can others understand the life of geniuses?
