Chapter 91: Xiao Chen Tames the Demonic Beast, Lin Qi’an’s Unexpected Encounter with Jin Chan!
“Senior’s injury was caused by it?” Lin Qi’an asked.
“Indeed, that’s correct! It is called the Ghost-Eyed Demonic Wood, nearly indestructible and immortal. However, it has been tormented by my formation for thirty thousand years, and its power must have drastically declined.”
“If you are fortunate enough to discover a method to destroy it, you should kill it. If not, do not under any circumstances break the seal!”
Lin Qi’an was astonished. “An indestructible entity, how can it be destroyed?”
“The wood fears fire, but it must be ancient divine fire! Fire alone is insufficient; the divine lightning must merge with the unusual flame, and only then might this supreme demonic beast be eradicated!”
Divine lightning, something attainable once he masters the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance. Divine fire, the Nine Yang Divine Fire should be more than enough. In that case, could he really achieve it?
“But controlling one element is already extremely difficult, let alone merging two. This is merely my conjecture, so do not force yourself.”
“Go now. I, Sikong Yun, have lived my life with no regrets toward my parents or the heavens and earth, but I am ashamed only toward you…” The Thunder Emperor’s voice slowly faded into nothingness.
Lin Qi’an’s consciousness also retreated from the spiritual realm.
“How did it go?!” Zhao Qingmeng rushed over, concerned.
“It was a success.”
“You truly obtained the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance?”
“Yes, let’s stay here for the next couple of days. I need to comprehend the Thunder Emperor’s divine techniques.”
“Oh.” Zhao Qingmeng was somewhat disappointed.
Staying here for two days, she thought they might do something exciting, but it turned out to be cultivation.
Heh, men!
Lin Qi’an was unaware that while he was in the spiritual realm undergoing the Thunder Emperor’s trial, Xiao Chen and Ye Yun, two children of fortune, coincidentally entered a cold and eerie underground palace.
“What a chilling aura… Brother Xiao, I have a bad feeling about this!” Ye Yun was chilled to the bone, his cultivation in the Great Yang Heavenly Emperor Technique making him particularly averse to such an environment.
“Brother Ye, we’ve broken through numerous traps to get here. Based on my experience, there must be a fortuitous encounter!”
The so-called children of destiny are those who even if they fall off a cliff, will obtain divine skills, with no need for any system to guide them.
As they ventured deeper, the sinister chill grew more intense. Finally, the narrow passage opened up to reveal a large, damp cavern.
Seeing the scene inside, both of them nearly got goosebumps. The cave was filled with withered trees, the air reeked of foul odors.
The ground was littered with desiccated branches, resembling a lifeless mummy. Black cobwebs clung to the cave walls, and the air was thick with the scent of ashes.
Jagged rocks were piled against the cave walls, making it seem like a legendary cursed place!
On the ground lay an unidentified object. It resembled a dead log, but it clearly had limbs, all bound by heavy iron chains.
“What… is this thing?” Xiao Chen muttered.
“Don’t get close!” Ye Yun hurriedly stopped Xiao Chen.
He had a premonition that if they got too close, they would meet a terrible fate.
Just then, the log on the ground moved and opened its eyes. Its entire body was covered in densely packed red eyes! Those eyes were filled with a terrifying, evil aura.
The two of them quickly retreated several steps, overwhelmed by immense fear, their faces pale, pupils trembling. The moment this creature opened its eyes, they felt every hair on their bodies standing on end!
“This creature is extremely ominous, it must have been sealed here. Brother Xiao, we should leave quickly.”
“Wait…” Xiao Chen didn’t retreat but instead advanced, murmuring as he looked at the evil creature, “Isn’t this something that could also be called a beast?”
“What are you planning to do!”
“If I tame it, won’t I gain immense power? Power strong enough to kill Lin Qi’an!” Xiao Chen knew very well how powerful Lin Qi’an was.
Ordinary means would not allow him to oppose Lin Qi’an. But if he could subdue this supreme demonic creature, he might stand a great chance!
Ye Yun knew that absorbing this demonic creature could have dire consequences. But his hatred for Lin Qi’an also clouded his judgment.
“Alright! I support you.” Xiao Chen swallowed hard, taking out the Ten Thousand Beasts Record.
Just making this move caused him to break out in a cold sweat! He noticed that dozens of eyes from the demonic creature were fixed on him, making his skin crawl as if he were plunged into an ice cellar.
“Open!”
The Ten Thousand Beasts Record unfolded and golden light radiated intensely. Countless rays of golden light converged on the demonic beast, attempting to absorb it into the record!
The demonic beast let out a scream like a baby’s cry being torn apart, like a blade scraping against glass.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was fully exerting himself, blood oozing from his mouth and nose! He could feel that this demonic creature’s power had indeed greatly diminished, now only at the Transcendent Realm, making it completely absorbable.
“Absorb!”
Finally, the Ten Thousand Beasts Record forcibly refined the creature. As expected of a supreme treasure capable of subduing all beasts!
Xiao Chen was overjoyed and his aura surged in that instant.
In almost no time, he reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm, surpassing Ye Yun!
“I did it…”
“Congratulations, Brother Xiao!”
Xiao Chen’s eyes burned with fervor. He knew that if he harnessed the power of this creature, he would become even stronger, strong enough to make everyone tremble in fear!
Lin Qi’an, Sister Ran…
“I, Xiao Chen, will make you all regret this deeply!”
…
Lin Qi’an decided to stay in the cave mansion for a few days, mainly to gain a basic understanding of the Thunder Emperor’s divine techniques. As long as he mastered a bit of it, it would appear on his status panel, and he could then use his Villain Points to directly cultivate it.
The Heaven-grade top-tier technique, Nine Heavens Thunder, was definitely the pinnacle of thunder-type techniques, personally created by the Thunder Emperor.
To put it simply, even the Heavenly Extreme Five Thunder Technique cultivated by Princess Zhao Yunji, although also a Heaven-grade technique, couldn’t compare to this one. It just wasn’t in the same league!
The only technique that could rival it was Sword Manifestation, created by the Sword Emperor. The Tai’an Emperor, though also an Emperor, was not on the same level as the Thunder Emperor or the Sword Emperor, as he was too burdened by worldly affairs to fully immerse himself in the Dao.
The divine ability left by the Thunder Emperor was called the Heavenly Sword Lightning Technique, his signature skill, possessing immense power! Within two days, Lin Qi’an successfully grasped its basics. He then consumed tens of thousands of Villain Points to cultivate both the technique and the divine ability to the second layer.
He also ingested the Ten Thousand Poisons Pill, granting his body immunity to poison and obtained the Ten Thousand Poison Physique. Simultaneously, his minor realm advanced by one layer.
Upgrading his constitution also required a significant expenditure of Villain Points! After consuming 60,000 Villain Points, his attribute panel underwent a dramatic transformation.

With everything ready, Lin Qi’an took the Thunder Emperor’s letter and prepared to leave the cave mansion with Zhao Qingmeng.
“I found a hidden compartment!” Zhao Qingmeng excitedly shared her discovery and quickly pulled Lin Qi’an over. “Look behind this wall painting; it’s obvious that there’s a seam!”
Lin Qi’an noticed a painting of a woman on the wall. Despite being three thousand years old, it was still well-preserved, likely portraying the Thunder Emperor’s beloved.
Indeed, something was hidden behind the painting.
“Wait, there seems to be some writing on it?” Lin Qi’an discovered traces of spiritual power on the wall. With a gentle sweep of his hand, a line of small characters immediately appeared:
“If you find her, give her this sword. If she has passed away, bury it beside her grave.”
Lin Qi’an forcefully opened the hidden compartment. Inside lay a sword, its gleaming blade inscribed with its name: Thunder Annihilation.
The Thunder Emperor’s sword!
‘Alright, I will take it and fulfill your wish.’
“Let’s go.”
The two left the Thunder Emperor’s cave mansion and closed the stone door behind them. Two days had passed, and the Grand Hunt was nearing its end.
What was happening outside?
As they stepped out of the dark cave into the sunlight, the brightness was blinding, and they found it somewhat uncomfortable.
“Finally, we’re out! I was almost suffocated in there!” Zhao Qingmeng stretched her arms, greedily breathing in the fresh air. Her luxurious frost-colored long dress rippled gracefully with her light steps. She didn’t seem like an empress at all, just a little girl.
At that moment, she suddenly spotted a cicada with golden wings perched on a branch ahead!
“Don’t come closer!” Zhao Qingmeng quickly whispered, signaling Lin Qi’an to stay still.
Lin Qi’an also noticed it and dared not make any sudden movements. Indeed, it was the “Golden-Winged Void Cicada,” worth 100 points, unexpectedly resting right there.
However, if disturbed in any way, it would instantly fly away at an unbelievable speed. In the century-long history of the Grand Hunt, no one had ever managed to capture one!
Zhao Qingmeng cautiously moved, slowly approaching the branch and an astonishing scene unfolded—the Golden-Winged Void Cicada didn’t flee!
