The Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, formed by Spiritual Power, was frantically absorbing the Spirit Spring in the pool.
After Lin Chen’s breakthrough to the Eighth Level of Spirit Gathering Realm, this was the first time he attempted to materialize the rudimentary form of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron as described in the cultivation technique. According to the description, the power of this Three-legged Cauldron was beyond Lin Chen’s imagination, as it was said to be a divine object capable of refining all things under heaven and even the sun, the moon, and the stars.
At this moment, as Lin Chen invoked it for the first time, he felt its immense power.
As soon as the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron appeared, the Spirit Spring in the pool was wildly extracted.
Through the transformation of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, the Spirit Spring was immediately absorbed with frenzy by Lin Chen.
The Primordial Transformation Art was incredibly powerful to begin with, and this time the act of deploying the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron through the technique accelerated Lin Chen’s refining speed to an unprecedented quickness.
In a short period, the entire pool was emptied by Lin Chen, and as the Spirit Spring was absorbed, his body was greatly strengthened. The most direct indication of this was the aura on Lin Chen’s body, which was definitely not something a martial artist of the Spirit Gathering Realm could possess, and his realm was also close to breaking through to the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
The Spirit Spring from this pool, if absorbed by an ordinary martial artist, could enhance the cultivation of a practitioner in the Spirit Gathering or even the Melding Earth Realm by several levels.
However, once inside Lin Chen’s body, it merely brought his minor realm to the brink of a breakthrough, while his body, in other respects, was substantially strengthened.
Yet the energy Lin Chen required for his advancement far exceeded that of a martial artist at the same realm, so this pool of Spirit Spring was insufficient to support the enhancement of his cultivation.
Just as Lin Chen finished absorbing all the Spirit Spring in the pool, the White Mink, which had been slumbering in the distance, finally sensed the anomaly.
The moment it opened its eyes, it immediately saw Lin Chen withdrawing the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron just as the formerly abundant Spirit Spring in the pool had dried up. This sudden change left the White Mink both confused and astonished.
With its fierce claws and teeth bared, the White Mink roared at Lin Chen. Despite its smaller size compared to other magical beasts, its roar was thunderous, and the aura it emitted was incredibly powerful.
However, just as it furiously lunged at Lin Chen, intending to tear this human before it to pieces, it found itself surrounded by an invisible formation barrier.
No matter how it collided or gnashed its teeth, it was unable to break through the barrier before its eyes.
Moreover, this invisible barrier not only trapped it inside, but also contained an illusory realm with an irritatingly hot environment, brought on by the formation and extremely unpleasant for it.
If it remained in this environment, not only would its cultivation fail to progress, but it would also decline—a maddening torture for the beast.
Looking at Lin Chen, the White Mink’s eyes were filled with hatred.
The White Mink was clearly intelligent; it understood that doing nothing would mean being trapped here forever. And in this moment, its anger towards Lin Chen had reached a boiling point, the instinct to see Lin Chen dead rising within it. This fury spurred it into action, refusing to remain passive.
The White Mink stood up and with a big breath, a Water Breath Wave was formed, which it then spit out at the invisible barrier before it.
As the Water Breath Waves struck the barrier one after another, numerous cracks began to appear on the formation barrier. Lin Chen estimated the White Mink’s strength to be around the Seventh Layer of the Melding Earth Realm.
If Lin Chen had to deal with it, although it would be somewhat troublesome, it was not utterly unmanageable. If truly driven into a corner, Lin Chen was prepared to reveal all his cards and slay it.
As another Water Breath Wave struck the formation barrier, the barrier before them finally shattered. However, the White Mink was panting heavily, showing that destroying the formation set up by Lin Chen had drained a lot of her strength.
After the formation was broken, the scorching illusion inside also disappeared. The White Mink’s face revealed joy, for living in such an illusion was enough to drive it mad.
Looking towards Lin Chen in the distance, the spiritual spring in the pond had dried up. It felt an immense rage inside, not only had this human trapped it within a ferocious inferno of an illusion, but he had also plundered the spiritual spring in the pond. Its body leapt, biting towards Lin Chen.
Its claws waved in the air, and immediately a Spiritual Light Claw Strike was launched. Lin Chen saw this and didn’t dare to be careless; he gathered his strength and threw a punch.
Powerful spirit waves spread all around, countless trees collapsed, and both human and mink were forced to retreat.
The spiritual wisdom of the White Mink was not inferior to humans, and at this moment, a look of shock appeared on its cute furry face—it could not have imagined that this human possessed such terrifying strength.
Though the White Mink’s body was not as mighty as those stronger magical beasts, it had long resided by this pond and possessed the Cold Ice Attribute within its body, creating attacks with extreme Cold Ice Power. It thought this puny human could easily be frozen and killed in a single strike.
But to its surprise, not only did this human withstand its attack, but he was also completely unharmed—an unthinkable feat.
Even so, the White Mink did not plan to let Lin Chen go. The spiritual spring had been refined by him, and only by eliminating Lin Chen could it quench the hatred in its heart.
"Heaven and Earth Treasures belong to the powerful. Considering you had no intention of killing me before, I will let you go,"
"If you continue to be troublesome, don’t blame me for skinning you to make a mink coat."
Lin Chen looked at the White Mink coldly, his words carrying a hint of icy killing intent.
The treasures of this world were ownerless by nature. Now that he had absorbed the spiritual spring, Lin Chen did not wish to expend more strength on this White Mink, so he warned the other party.
Lin Chen believed that with the White Mink’s spiritual intelligence, it would understand this principle.
If it insisted on persisting, Lin Chen would have no choice but to use some more of his strength to kill it right there.
After the White Mink’s pupils rotated slightly, it froze in place, without making any further move. Thıs text ıs hosted at novelꞁire.net
It knew that Lin Chen truly possessed the strength he claimed, especially given the aura he had just released, which clearly did not belong to the Spirit Gathering Realm.
So, it had no choice but to give up and watched with open eyes as Lin Chen slowly walked away.
Though the spiritual spring in the pond was gone, after a long passage of time, it would ultimately be regenerated.
After leaving the pond, Lin Chen traveled for half an hour and finally arrived at a wide-open territory; at first glance, it was utterly astonishing.
The expanse of this world was beyond Lin Chen’s imagination. His Divine Sense could not detect too far, but with his naked eyes, he could see mountains in the distance many miles away that seemed to have some structures, but they were too far for Lin Chen to be sure.
Lin Chen estimated that even if he flew at full speed towards them, it would take at least three days’ time.
