Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 287 - 229: Zhao Fuhu’s Fortuitous Encounter, Su Changkong Breaks Through Hao Zhix
"Lin Chang’sheng, you’ve gone too far. Today, don’t even dream of leaving here alive!"
Ding Changhai bellowed in fury; this Lin Chang’sheng was simply too arrogant, daring to disregard the sect leaders of the Three Great Sects.
Even if Lin Chang’sheng could slaughter Nie Buping, proving his overwhelming power, could he possibly stand against all three sects joining forces?
Yet in this moment, he showed not a hint of fear, not even the intention to flee.
"Lin Chang’sheng, did Sect Leader Nie meet his end at your hands?"
Jiang Yuyan’s beautiful eyes flickered with intrigue; if this youth truly slain Nie Buping, his talent was indeed astonishing—in fact, greater even than Ling Wuji and Jiang Yukun in their prime.
"It matters not if you know. Not only did Nie Buping fall by my hand, but Jiu Wushang met the same fate! Are you here to avenge them?"
Lin Chang’sheng gazed at Jiang Yuyan, calm and composed as he spoke.
This Jiang Yuyan had lived nearly a thousand years, yet her charm remained; her presence was a feast for the eyes.
Far surpassing the green and dull Fu Junyue standing beside her.
"Nonsense! How could you alone slay the two of them? Ling Yue and Su Changkong, stop skulking in the shadows—come out now!"
Fu Junyue wore an expression of utter disbelief. Lin Chang’sheng was barely in his twenties; how could he possess the strength to slaughter two sect leaders?
He must have joined forces with Su Changkong and Ling Yue to pull it off.
"Sect Leader Fu, Sect Leader Jiang, this one’s cultivation is anything but ordinary—we cannot afford carelessness! Let us join hands and crush him here. If we let him leave Sea God Tower alive, one day he’ll become the greatest obstacle to Demon Evil Sea’s domination of the Southern Realm!"
Ding Changhai frowned deeply.
He knew well the power of the black and white tributors—even he couldn’t guarantee defeating the two in short order.
But Lin Chang’sheng had slain both, and so swiftly.
Before they’d arrived, both were already dead—proof that Lin Chang’sheng now surpassed him.
And Lin Chang’sheng was but Early Stage of Nascent Soul, yet wielded such force.
Should he break through to Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, not even their combined might could ensnare him.
Thus, Lin Chang’sheng must not leave Sea God Tower alive.
He must be crushed here and now.
Whoosh, whoosh—
At that moment, shadows streaked across the sky—more and more people drawn by the clash below.
Among the crowd were Ji Ruyan, Gao Ziyue, and Yu Lingfei, as well as Li Jiantang, Zhuge Buping, and Zhao Fuhu.
"What’s happening? Are they really going to kill Brother Lin together?"
Gao Ziyue watched Lin Chang’sheng beset by the Three Demon Evil Sea powers, growing anxious for him.
Yu Lingfei too twisted her sleeve in worry, uncertain what to do.
Lin Chang’sheng’s strength was formidable, yes, but how could he stand against the three demon sect leaders?
"When the heavens rage, the rain falls; when men rage, disaster follows. Kid, you’re done for! Let’s see how you escape this time!"
Zhuge Buping saw Lin Chang’sheng surrounded by sects and felt glee at his plight.
He’d always harbored resentment toward Lin Chang’sheng.
Back when Lin Chang’sheng seized eight strands of Heaven and Earth Qi, Zhuge hoped the sect would capture him—then Zhuge could take one strand and attain Perfect Foundation Establishment.
But Lin Chang’sheng vanished with the eight strands, leaving Zhuge Buping bitter, as if Lin Chang’sheng had stolen his own destiny.
And just now Lin Chang’sheng had shown disrespect to his master, Li Jiantang—if only he’d had the strength, he’d have personally struck Lin Chang’sheng down.
Zhao Fuhu, standing nearby, was even more delighted by the sight.
Lin Chang’sheng was his sworn enemy, responsible for killing both his big brother and his master.
He longed to tear Lin Chang’sheng limb from limb.
In the Sixth Layer Space, Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t seen Zhao Fuhu only because Zhao Fuhu had found fortune there—a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.
Within it, he discovered a bounty of Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, spirit stones, magical treasures, and Immortal Techniques.
This delayed his advance, separating him from Master Li Jiantang.
But now, with such treasures, Zhao Fuhu felt his breakthrough to Golden Core Late Stage was near at hand.
Soon, he’d step into the Nascent Soul realm.
Once he reached Nascent Soul, with his Anomalous Thunder Spirit Root, he could even battle Middle Stage Nascent Soul masters.
"Lin Chang’sheng, you’d better not die! I’ll crush you myself when the time comes!"
Zhao Fuhu glared darkly at Lin Chang’sheng, fists clenched, crackling with lightning.
....
While the tension in the Eleventh Layer Space reached its peak—
In the Ninth Layer Space, within a fissured cliffside cave—
BOOM—
A torrent of magical power erupted, shattering all surrounding stone.
Even the entire mountain range collapsed in a thunderous crash.
Whoosh—
A solitary figure shot forth from the dust, golden light swirling about him, glowing runes spinning around his body.
"The heavens aid me! At last I’ve broken through the bottleneck and stepped into the ranks of Nascent Soul Great Cultivator! HAHAHA!"
Su Changkong was elated—he’d waited centuries for this day.
He’d planned to slay Lin Chang’sheng and seize his fortune to break through.
But by a stroke of fate, within Sea God Tower, he’d found the opportunity himself.
Not only did he obtain the Blood Bodhisattva Spirit Fruit, but in a cliffside cave on the Ninth Layer, he discovered an Immortal Illusion Realm—training one day inside matched a hundred outside.
Ten days’ bitter cultivation, aided by the Blood Bodhisattva Spirit Fruit, at last broke through the bottleneck.
"The Southern Realm, Demon Evil Sea, Beimu Immortal Realm—all will kneel before me!"
Su Changkong murmured, ambition swelling with his newfound power.
It was no longer simply the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm he wanted beneath his heel—
But the entire Immortal Relic Land.
As his words fell, Su Changkong turned into a streak of light, rushing toward the Tenth Layer.
Not long after Su Changkong left, Ling Yue, Fierce Sun Dao Venerable, Zhao Cheng, and Wang Chonglou arrived.
Since entering Sea God Tower, the four major Southern Realm sects had converged.
"Su Changkong broke through the bottleneck—he’s now a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator?"
Wang Chonglou was somewhat surprised; those who arrived late had gotten little fortune.
Only the first to enter Sea God Tower secured significant opportunities.
Su Changkong had indeed been among the first.
"Su Changkong advancing to Nascent Soul Great Cultivator—this could spell disaster for the Southern Realm!"
Fierce Sun Dao Venerable sighed in concern.
All now knew of Su Changkong’s past—willing to kill fellow disciples for a single strand of Heaven and Earth Qi.
Now, having advanced, his ambitions would only grow.
For the Southern Realm, this would only bring calamity.
"It’s come to this—let’s just hope Su Changkong remembers old ties. Otherwise, the Southern Realm may end up a ruined wasteland."
Zhao Cheng, too, voiced his concern.
Then, the four sped onward toward the upper layers.
