Even a brief fusion will have side effects. Trying out various combinations will take some time. Lin Ye plans to go into seclusion to study this method and invites his Daoist partners to come along.
.......
Ten days later, Lin Ye rubbed his eyes, which were covered in dark circles, and smiled with relief.
"I've figured it out."
[Master, the excellent combination has been recorded.]
A few lines of data popped up from the Wild Curse.
[Rat-Dragon Form Gold/Fire] [Stamina Bonus: Medium] [Attribute Bonus: Medium] [Compatibility: Medium] [Duration: Long] [Special Effects: Treasure Hunt, Dragon Horns]
[White Tiger Qilin Form Metal/Earth] [Physical Enhancement: Extremely High] [Attribute Enhancement: Extremely High] [Compatibility: Low] [Duration: Very Short] [Special Enhancement: Strong Desire (Firm Will)]
[Phoenix - Golden Crow/Candle Dragon Form Fire/Fire/Fire][Stamina Bonus: Negative (significantly reduced)][Attribute Bonus: Extremely High][Compatibility: Low][Duration: Medium][Special Bonus: Weakness, Fire Control]
[Kunpeng Tengshe Form Gold/Water][Physical Bonus: High][Attribute Bonus: Low][Compatibility: Extremely Low][Duration: Long][Special Bonus: Increased destructive power of inherent conflicting abilities such as 'Destruction']
Lin Ye pondered.
Rather than calling it a tattoo era and a fusion of martial spirits, it's more accurate to call it Kamen Rider, as the bonus is quite considerable.
However, if this power were used to fight a full battle, all three who participated in the fusion would be weak for a long time afterward.
Even if the Great Ascension stage Human Pillar God becomes Lin Ye's tattoo, he cannot escape the side effects.
"But it's very strong!" Lin Ye exclaimed excitedly, feeling one step closer to being able to deal with the threat of Transcending Tribulation cultivators.
"I need to test my combat skills." Lin Ye decided on his next destination: Demon Emperor Mountain.
Perfect timing! The elder from the Mahayana stage who supports the Crown Prince is nearing the end of his lifespan, so there's no need to worry about him burning blood to unleash his full potential.
Although he had the advantage of location and resources, Lin Ye was very clear about the last tricks that Demon Emperor Mountain had before its destruction, and the difficulty was enough to excite him.
.......
Demon Emperor Mountain.
The capital was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the long street was filled with offerings.
Originally, Demon Emperor Mountain had always lacked a spirit-suppressing formation.
The capital city seemed deserted.
But this time, I don't know where the Fifth Prince got the confidence from, he distributed the Spirit-Severing Array to all the Foundation Establishment and above cultivators present for free!
Pedestrians naturally flocked to it.
Looking at the lively scene below the stage, the Fifth Prince smiled.
'I never expected the Great Demon to possess so many spirit-suppressing formations...'
Just as Lin Ye was in seclusion researching the fusion technique, the Fifth Prince announced his succession to the throne of the Demon Emperor.
With the festival, the entire capital became much more lively.
The strategy of gifting the Spirit-Slaying Formation truly helped Demon Emperor Mountain regain some ground.
Furthermore, the illusory great demon who cooperated with the Fifth Prince, disguised as the lone expert [Hun Tian Lao Zu], joined the Demon Emperor Mountain as a worshipper, which greatly improved the situation.
Chapter 366 The Invasion of the Capital
On the other side, Lin Ye had already made preparations for departure.
On Demon Emperor Mountain, you'll encounter rare items, celestial artifacts, and powerful formations... Think of ways to deal with each one, even with intelligence, don't hesitate... (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
"Let's just stack armor."
Lin Ye chose to ask Master Gongshu and Yunmeng to accompany him.
Both of them were strong-willed metal-elemental cultivators.
Moreover, the two of them have a good relationship and often spar and compete with each other, their tacit understanding and fighting spirit are high.
Both of them were late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and their cultivation levels were not particularly high. Under these circumstances, the trinity state could be maintained for a longer period of time.
Because the Roc and the Bone Kun bloodline cultivators of Yunmeng are both of the metal element, plus his master's White Tiger, Lin Yeyuan calls this state the Tri-Metal Form... both tough and fast!
Soon after, Lin Ye arrived at his destination.
The Demon Emperor Mountain was riddled with holes by the forest leaves, so whenever needed, someone could help him set up a teleportation array.
As soon as Lin Ye arrived, he casually pushed the special agent cultivator who was helping to set up the teleportation array back to the other end and transmitted his voice, "Well done!"
Staying here will likely cause problems.
The array master was sent back to the Demon Subduing Workshop, still shaken, and took a deep breath.
Immediately, people arranged by Lin Ye came to meet him.
Setting up teleportation arrays in secret locations within the capital is not difficult, but it depends on what they are used for.
This involves a high-level dispute within the cultivation world.
The requirements for confidentiality are exceptional!
This special agent and array master, despite still having a soul contract for security purposes, is considered a vanguard in Lin Ye's camp.
Once this mission is completed and I return to the palace, I will soon rise rapidly in rank.
The agent was filled with joy and hoped to become Lin Ye's disciple.
He glanced towards the direction of the formation and thought to himself, 'I hope everything goes well for His Highness!'
On the other side, golden runes appeared all over Lin Ye's body, indicating that he had arrived at his destination.
"A high-grade sixth-rank formation, the Nine Dragons Transformation Formation."
Lin Ye looked up and glanced at the majestic dragon in the sky, which was the materialized form of a high-level formation, and it seemed to be staring at him.
One of the trump cards of Demon Emperor Mountain.
The effects of Discipline Star have been activated, and it offers greater security than hiding.
Unless the Fifth Prince is an idiot, he must have already set up an array in the capital to detect abnormal spiritual energy phenomena.
This allows for the timely detection of the location of the Discipline Star.
Just as Lin Ye had expected, the Fifth Prince sensed the arrival of his enemy as soon as he detected the spiritual energy fluctuations brought about by the effect of the Discipline Star through the array, and his eyes immediately reddened.
The Fifth Prince unleashed his murderous intent, immediately activating the great formation and charging towards Lin Ye.
Instantly, the golden dragon coiled in the sky emitted a bright red light from its eyes.
"As expected, we've been discovered." Lin Ye remained calm; the current formation wasn't strong enough.
The Nine Dragons Transformation Formation activated, transforming into nine illusory dragon-shaped figures of various forms, which pounced upon him.
As the nine dragons approached, Lin Ye remained calm and activated the "Nine Dragons Blood Demon," unleashing nine true dragons of blood energy that clashed with the great formation, shattering the nine dragon-shaped phantoms of the formation.
Without a Mahayana cultivator controlling it, this grand formation can only slightly deplete Lin Ye's strength.
Deep within the Imperial Clan Courtyard in the backyard of the Demon Emperor Mountain Palace.
The elderly clan elder opened his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ye dared to come up the mountain.
Lin Ye's performance was astonishing, and he also got too close to the Great Wilderness Royal Court.
The clan elders highly doubted whether he was still the fifteenth prince himself.
The suspicion was actually correct.
The fighting style of monks in the Dark Ages was always to kill you on a whim.
The clan elder rarely gets such an opportunity, and he's determined to give it his all!
His long beard fluttered, and auspicious light and energy appeared around him. He raised his withered arms, and his vitality connected with the formation. The [Nine Dragons Transformation Formation] was then under the control of the Mahayana cultivator, and its power increased greatly.
Nine golden dragons attacked again, but they were far more terrifying than the previous nine. The dragon-shaped phantoms were so realistic that they seemed to transform into nine Mahayana-stage true dragons and manifest in the world.
At this moment, Lin Ye threw out the Formless Sword, and the silvery shield blocked the nine true dragons for a moment.
In that instant, Lin Ye had already summoned the [Immortal Ancient God Formation]. The pitch-black mecha immediately covered his entire body. He raised the giant sword with both hands, wielding the ship-slaying blade and shattering stars towards the sky, swinging it in a wide arc, heading straight for the decapitation strike.
The power of the White Tiger bloodline is stronger than that of the White Tiger King Beast, and it can enhance the strength of spiritual artifacts.
The bloodlines of Lin Ye and his master overlapped, and the concentration had exceeded the limit for using this move, making the power of the ship-slaying sword stronger than usual.
呲!
With a single strike, several true dragons were beheaded, and several dragon bodies were sliced into pieces. The foundation of the great formation was damaged and began to shake violently. The ancestor who controlled the great formation also spat out a mouthful of black blood, his vital energy so weak that he seemed about to pass away.
"Impossible... Instead of destroying the array base, it directly killed the illusion..." On the high platform, the Fifth Prince's pupils shrank, and the tassels hanging from his crown trembled slightly.
"That's it!" Lin Ye's eyebrows relaxed, and he was in high spirits. The Nine Dragons Transformation Formation also had a state where it could not be killed, but its power would be reduced.
This nine-headed dragon phantom is currently in full-power mode, which has a weakness; once it's severed, it's very difficult to repair.
Even a clan elder in the early stages of the Mahayana realm who can control a high-level sixth-grade formation ultimately cannot reach the combat power of a late-stage Mahayana realm cultivator.
However, the slash just now did manage to create some resistance for the ship-slaying sword, which was quite rare.
Lin Ye finished off the enemy, expanding the capture range of the Discipline Star, and at the same time conjured a Destruction Flame Spear, which blasted towards the core of the formation located underground.
In a previous life, this core was found and destroyed by the Great Demon of Illusion, which directly led to the destruction of Demon Emperor Mountain.
The location of its core was faithfully recorded in history books, and it surfaced in Lin Ye's mind—it was instantly destroyed!
"Not good!" As the flames pierced the ground as if into tofu, the Fifth Prince's face turned extremely pale, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
If the bombardment hits the base of the formation, there are only two possibilities—the formation will shatter, or those whose lives are connected to the formation will perish. There is no third possibility.
However, it is extremely rare for a user to actually sacrifice their life to protect the formation from damage!
The same applies to the clan elders. Even if the great formation is breached, they still have a chance by activating immortal artifacts and rare items!
Especially with rare items, cultivators who are unaware of their effects are very vulnerable to sneak attacks.
But for some unknown reason, the elder suddenly felt extremely hot. The destructive force came directly from the center of the array, and the intense heat destroyed his life force!
Lin Ye sensed something was wrong. Following the direction of the life force, he rushed to the Clan Court, finished off the dying elder, and put the body into his storage ring.
This is good stuff. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated.)
Take it back and refine it into a high-level magical weapon; it smells incredibly good.
Lin Ye's eyes narrowed. He sensed that the formation had been disturbed by the old demon emperor, which was why the formation's core hadn't been shattered but instead the elder had been killed.
It seems that Old Deng wants to use this formation one more time.
'Fine, he'll be mine once he leaves.'
In fact, Lin Ye had always been wary of the old demon emperor.
However, he still needed to fish, so it was highly unlikely that he would use his only chance to ambush his wild son. He tried it and it turned out to be true.
Chapter 367 No Regrets for Killing My Brother (3k)
The Royal Treasury is where the most precious treasures of Demon Emperor Mountain are gathered.
Lin Ye's gaze lingered on the treasury for a moment before he flashed to the high platform used for the coronation, his cold eyes sweeping over the Fifth Prince's face.
He couldn't even be bothered to say "How have you been?" to this person; they weren't real brothers.
Although this trip was just for practice.
But Lin Ye couldn't afford to lose money, as the Discipline Star had consumed a lot of energy just now.
As for the fifth prince...
Come all come...
"You..." The Fifth Prince's face was filled with fear, and his eyes trembled slightly.
In that life-or-death moment, he had a vague, indescribable feeling.
This person is not the fifteenth son.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he said in a trembling voice, "Let them go..."
呲!
A burst of Geng metal energy killed the Fifth Prince. Lin Ye burned away the Nascent Soul that tried to escape. His eyes were cold as he swept over the ministers standing on both sides of the stage.
Everyone sensed something was wrong, their faces turned pale, and the atmosphere instantly became chilly. Just then, a burst of applause rang out.
