“This must be Fengtai Mountain.”
Ye Lin floated in mid-air, looking at the large mountain before him, then raised his fist and, without hesitation, unleashed a punch.
A golden, shimmering fist slammed into the mountain.
With a loud bang, the entire mountain was directly leveled by Ye Lin’s punch.
As the mountain was flattened, a rich fragrance spread out, carrying for ten miles.
Beneath the colossal mountain, streaks of earthy yellow light were scattering. Seeing this, Ye Lin didn't hesitate for a moment, arriving at the center of the ruins and sitting cross-legged.
He greedily absorbed the surrounding earthy yellow light.
This earthy yellow light was precisely the Earth Vein Essence. Now that Fengtai Mountain, which had been suppressing the Earth Vein Essence, had been leveled by him, the Earth Vein Essence was dissipating at an alarming rate.
He could only race against time.
As the Earth Vein Essence surged into his Physical Body, Ye Lin’s entire Physical Body became increasingly full, and his skin glowed with a golden luster.
This Earth Vein Essence, upon entering his Physical Body, was strengthening every part of it.
After half a day of absorption, Ye Lin opened his eyes, his expression resolute.
He then took out his many years of treasured collections and absorbed them all in one go.
His entire Physical Body was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
The pressure emanating from Ye Lin’s Physical Body grew stronger and stronger, and the defensive power of his Physical Body was rising linearly.
“It’s time. Breakthrough for me!”
Ye Lin whispered, and at that moment, he suddenly felt incredibly light and at ease.
His Physical Body Realm had also Breakthrough to a new Realm, the Core Formation Stage Late Stage.
Even without using any Spiritual Qi, Ye Lin was confident enough to blast apart a Golden Core Peak Cultivator with a single punch.
This was not him bragging; it was indeed the truth.
“Counting carefully, the resources I’ve spent on improving my Physical Body far exceed the resources spent on improving my cultivation.”
“Every time my Physical Body improves, all my resources are depleted.”
Three days had passed after he finished improving.
Ye Lin calculated carefully, his face full of helplessness.
Resources, resources, in the end, it’s still resources! Resources are not enough!
“Congratulations, Benefactor, on your great progress in cultivation.”
In the distance, after seeing Ye Lin finish his Breakthrough, Wu Xin approached Ye Lin with a smile and bowed to him.
Since he came here two days ago to recover from his injuries, he had discovered that the original Fengtai Mountain had been leveled, and within the ruins sat Ye Lin, who was Cultivating.
Seeing the earthy yellow light floating around Ye Lin, he was filled with envy.
This was excellent Earth Vein Essence, very useful for improving the Physical Body. He hadn't expected Ye Lin's Luck to be so good that he could even encounter such a good thing.
He could only sit in the distance to recover from his injuries. Only after Ye Lin’s Breakthrough did he come to offer congratulations.
“Monk, what’s the situation now?”
Looking at Wu Xin, Ye Lin patted the dust off his body. He knew what Wu Xin was here for, but unfortunately, he had gotten there first.
“Benefactor, as you said, the Yao Beast are currently gathering their strength. It is estimated that there are already millions of them.”
At this, Wu Xin said with a solemn expression.
Everything was indeed as Ye Lin had guessed: countless Yao Beast began to gather again. On the border of Tianhe County, no less than a million Golden Core Stage Yao Beast had already gathered.
Moreover, among these Yao Beast groups, dozens of Nascent Soul Stage Great Yao could vaguely be seen.
This couldn't help but make the Human Race internally extremely nervous.
After all, once a Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beast made a move, it meant that the battle had intensified.
The destructive power of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator and a Golden Core Stage Cultivator were simply worlds apart.
Millions of Nascent Soul Stage combatants gathered together could practically sink an entire continent.
It was terrifying beyond measure.
“Benefactor, let’s go. We should go guard the city wall. Although dozens of Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beast have appeared among the Yao Beast groups, the current battlefield is still that of the Golden Core Stage.”
After Wu Xin finished speaking, Ye Lin came to Wu Xin’s side, his face full of surprise.
Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beast? Did the Yao Race want to escalate the war again?
Once Nascent Soul Stage combatants made a move, the situation of the war would be different.
After all, besides the Nascent Soul Realm True Person standing at the very Peak, the next in line were the Nascent Soul Stage combatants.
“Let’s go back and see.”
After speaking, Ye Lin and Wu Xin walked side by side, and in a short while, they arrived on the city wall.
The atmosphere on the city wall at this moment was extremely heavy, completely lacking the excitement of the previous victory.
Upon arriving on the city wall, Ye Lin felt an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
Looking around, each Cultivator wore an expression as if their parents had died.
They had originally thought they had won, but now they knew that the hundreds of thousands of Yao Beast they had painstakingly eliminated earlier were merely the Yao Race’s vanguard forces.
Who could be happy about this, no matter who it happened to?
“Benefactor, morale is extremely low now. If the Yao Beast come again, I’m afraid this second line of defense won’t be able to hold.”
Ye Lin and Wu Xin walked on the city wall, observing the surrounding Cultivators.
And when those Cultivators saw Ye Lin, they merely nodded faintly, completely lacking their previous excitement.
If it weren't for the orders from above, they really wanted to pack up and run away.
“Does the entire Tianhe County only have three lines of defense?”
“Only three. Besides the first one, the establishment of the other two lines of defense has already emptied the coffers of many forces. There is no longer any power to establish a third line of defense.”
“Moreover, the current situation is much worse than we thought: Tianhe County is already in chaos.”
“In chaos?”
Ye Lin’s heart stirred, and he looked at Wu Xin, his face full of confusion.
“Yes, many forces are fleeing to other counties overnight, and various demonic Cultivator and evil Cultivator have emerged one after another. They are like troublemakers, specifically intercepting flying boats transporting Disciples.”
“Tens of thousands of Golden Core Stage Disciples have already been killed.”
Wu Xin finished speaking, his face extremely angry.
These scumbags deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces.
Now that the Human Race is facing a great disaster, these scumbags are still acting like this; they deserve to die.
“These scumbags really deserve to die.”
Ye Lin’s expression also hardened.
This was why the Cultivation world hated evil Cultivator: what they did was simply not humane.
Strictly speaking, they were no longer Human Race.
For the sake of strength, they lost themselves. As long as they could improve their strength, they would do anything.
Even if they were told to kill their own parents, they would not hesitate to raise the butcher’s knife.
It was truly the two words 'strength' that caused many people to lose themselves on the Dao of Cultivation.
One person painstakingly Cultivated for ten years to Breakthrough a minor Realm.
While another only needed to continuously devour the essence and blood of Mortals and even Cultivators to keep Breaking through.
As long as they devoured enough, Breaking through a Realm overnight was not a dream.
Such a huge temptation could easily lead Cultivators who couldn't persevere astray.
Cultivation was like this; the path was filled with all sorts of temptations. Only by always adhering to one’s original intention could one be qualified to reach the Peak of the Dao.
“What’s the situation now?”
After pondering for a moment, Ye Lin looked at Wu Xin.
With the evil Cultivator and demonic Cultivator acting this way, he didn't believe that those major forces would sit idly by.
