A Genius Surpassing the Ancient Eight Rulers

After that little interlude, the rest of the journey for Lin Xuan and the others was relatively peaceful, with hardly any incidents.

Basically, any teams they encountered along the way gave way from a distance upon seeing the Lin Clan's group.

As for demonic beasts, most of the time they only heard roars from afar. After all, demonic beasts weren't brainless; with Little Flame's aura present, how would they dare to approach casually?

Only those being chased or completely enraged, losing their minds and running amok, might accidentally stumble in. But before so many experts from the Lin Clan, they were quickly slain.

It was true that with a team guarded by four Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm experts, hardly anyone with eyes would dare to provoke them, especially a group like the Lin Clan, with Core Formation Realm experts protecting a group of young people, clearly from a major power.

Only people like Song Dao, Han Zong, and Han Sheng, who had already begun to touch the Shaping Realm, with combat power slightly stronger than ordinary Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm cultivators, confident in their own strength, and with reinforcements on the way, would dare to entertain ideas about the Spiritual Treasures in Lin Ke'er's hands.

It wasn't until nearly sunset that the Lin Clan's group stopped and set up camp in a relatively open area.

The Sky Flame Mountain Range at night was still very dangerous. Even Lin Xuan didn't dare to be too careless; some poisonous insects, if accidentally touched, could be extremely troublesome.

That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, scattering cold frost on the ground, adding a touch of deep solitude to the cold forest, making the already deep and mysterious Sky Flame Mountain Range even more awe-inspiring.

Beneath this coldness, the demonic beasts that had been dormant all day gradually awakened, and from time to time, roars echoed, adding a hint of bloodiness to the clear night air.

Under a tree, Lin Xuan, clad in a coarse cloth robe, stood quietly with a long sword in hand, slightly raising his head, his gaze passing through the open space in front of him, gazing at the bright moon overhead.

The cold moon and clear breeze created a unique artistic conception.

Lin Xuan didn't know if he was comprehending the sword in his hand or admiring the moon in the sky; he stood motionless under the dark tree.

Not far away, Lin Ke'er, Lin Xue, and the others didn't dare to disturb him. Lin Dong, sitting in front of the tent with Little Flame, eating roasted meat, felt a shock in his heart as he looked at Lin Xuan's figure.

"Is this kid so perverted? Monster! Mo... no, human freak! Only you humans can produce such a perverted guy!"

Little Marten's loud and exaggerated appearance surprised Lin Dong, who looked at Lin Xuan, who seemed no different from usual, and asked in confusion.

"Little Marten, what's wrong? Uh... also, speak properly, don't forget, the Young Clan Leader can hear you."

Actually, Lin Dong originally wanted to say that it wasn't good to gossip behind his back. Although words like 'monster' and 'human freak' weren't exactly gossip, the latter didn't sound good.

And Lin Dong wasn't the kind of person to be ungrateful. Lin Xuan was very good to him, and he felt a little uncomfortable allowing Little Marten to call him not-so-good names behind his back.

However, on second thought, Lin Dong remembered that in Little Marten's eyes, such trivial matters were of little concern to him, and he had to use Lin Xuan's name to make it work.

As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, Little Marten quickly covered his mouth, and after discovering that Lin Xuan hadn't noticed this side, he breathed a sigh of relief, a look of 'aftermath' on his face.

"Lin Dong boy, don't scare Master Marten for no reason. Do you really think Master Marten is easily scared?"

Lin Dong couldn't help but smile at Little Marten's stubbornness, and after a while, he said with a smile amidst Little Marten's dissatisfaction.

"Alright, you can tell me now, what exactly is going on?"

"What else could it be? I don't know how such a heaven-defying monster appeared in a small family like your Lin Clan. He's only at the Creation Realm now, and he's already able to comprehend a trace of the Qi of Death! What a freak!"

When Little Marten spoke, the expression in his eyes was one of disbelief. Little Marten even felt like he was dreaming.

"Lin Dong boy, do you know what the Qi of Death represents? That's something only Death Profound Realm experts can comprehend. Nirvana Realm, Life Profound Realm, and then Death Profound Realm. A Death Profound Realm expert is already a powerful figure in your Eastern Xuan Region!"

"So, does that mean the Young Clan Leader has already reached the Death Profound Realm?"

Lin Dong's eyes also carried a hint of shock, but Little Marten scolded him unhappily.

"You're really stupid, he's only at the Creation Realm, how could he suddenly jump to the Death Profound Realm?"

"However, this is the most astonishing thing. This monster is definitely a pervert, a talent even more perverted than the legendary Ancient Eight Rulers."

Anyway, Little Marten didn't know how to describe the amazement in his heart. Among the top powerhouses he had heard of, none could compare to Lin Xuan.

At least, at this realm, Little Marten had never heard of anyone comprehending the Qi of Life and the Qi of Death. Never. Even the Ancient Eight Rulers couldn't do it.

"By the way, the Ancestor Symbols I mentioned to you before, their first owners were the Ancient Eight Rulers. Each one was the most powerful expert in the world!"

Seeming to know that Lin Dong didn't understand, Little Marten specially added a sentence, which, falling into Lin Dong's heart, made his pupils tremble.

The Ancient Eight Rulers? Such powerful top experts, when they were young, were not as good as the Young Clan Leader. Then, how strong is he?

"Of course, talent doesn't explain everything. In the end, it depends on future achievements. You don't need to be discouraged either. When you find..."

Little Marten's words were not finished when Lin Dong saw Lin Xuan, who was originally standing under the tree, suddenly turn around. His body also suddenly burst out with a chilling aura. Under that dead, cold aura, it seemed that blood, soul, everything, was about to be frozen.

In the next moment, Lin Dong saw Lin Xuan, who was standing under the tree, disappear directly from the spot.

Lin Xuan's sudden change also directly alarmed everyone in the Lin Clan. Lin Ke'er, Lin Xue, and others also took out Spiritual Treasures one after another. When Wu Tao and others saw this, they quickly came out to stabilize the situation.

"Lin Ke'er, Lin Dong, go and take a look together!"

Lin Ke'er and Lin Dong were both Symbol Masters, so it was relatively safer to go and investigate. With Little Flame there, there shouldn't be any problems.
