The situation was critical.
If Lin Qiubai did not make a reasonable choice, what awaited him would be a tragic death. No matter how talented he was, it would be of no use.
Because if a genius was not an Evil Cultivator, then they were a disaster for the Evil Cultivator!
The old man would never tolerate the emergence of a disaster.
The atmosphere had become extremely tense, and Lin Qiubai's breathing was clearly audible, tinged with difficulty.
Suddenly, Lin Qiubai burst into wild laughter.
"How ridiculous! I, Cao Zhendong, have been selfish my entire life! Yet you want me to harm myself? Are you out of your mind?
I have only one thing to say: I'd rather let the world betray me than betray the world."
After saying this, Lin Qiubai suddenly sprang up, unafraid of whether the old man had the power to eliminate him. In a flash, he lunged at the old man.
It turned out that the old man was indeed caught off guard by this unusual action and was grabbed by the throat, his face turning red.
Lin Qiubai glared fiercely at the old man. The Demon Wugui on his shoulder also launched an attack at lightning speed, and behind him, the Beast King from the Creation Realm moved as well. The three-way assault completely suppressed the old man, who had once possessed considerable cultivation.
"Demon Wugui, devour recklessly! I don't mind killing my master!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed slightly, but he did not resist; he merely stared at Lin Qiubai with a complex gaze.
He kept murmuring, "I'd rather let the world betray me than betray the world!
Hehehe... This statement vividly outlines the psychology of an Evil Cultivator; a true great evil should be like this."
"Better for me to betray the world than for the world to betray me!"
"Good! You have passed my test. Go and slay your master to prove your path. My Inheritance and treasures are in the stone chamber behind me; you may take them as you wish."
The old man did not show anger but instead smiled, closing his eyes and exposing his neck for the strike.
His lingering obsession had survived for hundreds of years and was finally ready to dissipate. Finding a disciple with such unwavering resolve, what regret could there be in death?
The old man did not resist, and Lin Qiubai showed no mercy. Demon Wugui pounced on the old man's phantom, gnawing without restraint.
In just a few breaths, the old man was completely devoured.
"Oscar really owes me an Oscar for Best Actor!"
Lin Qiubai wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh. Dealing with Evil Cultivators was always nerve-wracking.
To deceive an Old Evil Demon for his Inheritance was like walking a tightrope high in the air.
One misstep could lead to being struck down by the capricious Old Evil Demon, falling into an abyss from which there was no return.
However,
the Old Evil Demon would likely never believe that an ant would dare to come and steal his Inheritance.
The likelihood of such an event occurring was too low.
Only Lin Qiubai would have the audacity to play such a dangerous game with his life on the line!
[Beep, Heavenly Treasure Chest detected, opening now. Congratulations! You have obtained: four hundred Fortune Value, one Supreme Origin Pulse, and one Lava Burning Pulse Pill.]
Once again, three rewards appeared, and Lin Qiubai was pleasantly surprised. Both the Supreme Origin Pulse and Fortune Value were excellent rewards.
As for the Lava Burning Pulse Pill, it was similar to the Heavenly Dao Transformation Pill, as both transformed the user's physique. However, the Heavenly Dao Transformation Pill altered bones, while the Lava Burning Pulse Pill transformed the Meridian.
Opening his mouth, the smooth and crystalline Elixir turned into scalding magma that flowed into his abdomen. Lin Qiubai's face instantly contorted, as if a volcano was erupting within him.
Magma at temperatures reaching thousands of degrees Celsius surged through his Meridian. Wherever it went, cells withered and decayed.
Yet within the magma, there was a vibrant life force; those cells were undergoing a rebirth in the magma.
Ultimately, each cell seemed to transform into a small magma pool, containing surging Vital Energy and vitality. If they erupted, the force unleashed would undoubtedly be terrifying.
Within Lin Qiubai's Meridian, the crimson magma formed from the Elixir flowed vigorously, painting a scene reminiscent of an epic disaster film.
Any impurities, blockages, or bottlenecks within the Meridian were forcefully cleared by the magma in an overwhelmingly dominant manner.
Even the tiniest Meridian blood vessels were flushed clean, making it no exaggeration to say that from now on, Lin Qiubai's Meridian would have no blockages whatsoever!
Blood and Vital Energy surged through the Meridian without encountering any obstacles.
At this moment, Lin Qiubai's body resembled a vast city, while his blood vessels and Meridian acted as high-speed Heavenly Dao running through the city. Vital Energy and vitality raced within, increasing his cultivation speed by at least four times!
Bang!
As expected, with a light sound, Lin Qiubai's body completely connected with the outside world and broke through to the Origin Realm.
"King-Level Low-Grade Cultivation Technique, River and Mountain Map, manifest!"
Lin Qiubai's Mind Thought shifted, and brilliance emerged from his body.
Low-Grade King-Level Cultivation Method increases the cultivation speed by sixty-four times, combined with the Lava Burning Pulse Pill's fourfold enhancement, resulting in a total of sixty-eight times the cultivation speed.
The entire underground Vital Energy was instantly drained.
"This cultivation speed feels like riding a roller coaster, soaring to the heavens, it's so refreshing! Supreme Origin Pulse, come forth!"
A flash of light appeared before Lin Qiubai, revealing the Supreme Origin Pulse and exposing the Tip of the Iceberg, with Vital Energy surging forth like a tide.
As the Supreme Origin Pulse emerged, a vortex of Vital Energy formed behind Lin Qiubai, with a diameter as large as a water barrel.
The corner of the Supreme Origin Pulse was visibly melting away, eventually transforming entirely into Vital Energy that flowed into the vortex.
After a moment, the vortex gradually disappeared...
At this point, the Supreme Origin Pulse had surprisingly diminished by one-third.
"Having just broken through to the first level of Origin Realm, consuming such a massive amount of Vital Energy, what will it be like for future breakthroughs..."
A hint of poverty was revealed in Lin Qiubai's smile.
However, despite the enormous consumption of Vital Energy, the benefits were quite evident.
The result was a Vitality Dragon that was about one hundred meters long and as thick as a thousand-year-old Ancient Tree. Even more remarkably, its details were not vague; on the contrary, they were incredibly lifelike.
It resembled a True Dragon.
"Although I have broken through to the Origin Realm, it's still not enough in front of that group of Evil Cultivators outside the Gorge."
Lin Qiubai closed his eyes, his mind turning as he recalled all the underground Formation layouts. The thousands of formations set by the Old Evil Demon were clear in his mind.
He could even monitor hundreds of Evil Cultivators standing respectfully in front of the Formation at the entrance underground, waiting.
After a long while, the leader, a second-level Evil Cultivator from the Nirvana Realm, slowly spoke, "Senior, the Six Talents have been brought here. May we proceed with the assessment? These Six Talents are extraordinary; please take a look, Senior."
"Interesting..."
Lin Qiubai felt a plan surging in his heart. He sat cross-legged in the spot where the Old Evil Demon had been, picked up the Formation on the ground, and gently adjusted it. Two Concealment Formations concealed him, leaving only the Azure Wing Thundercloud Leopard squatting outside the Concealment Formation, exuding an oppressive aura.
"Assess them one by one. First up."
Lin Qiubai lightly coughed and shouted in a voice that mimicked the Old Evil Demon.
Then, the outermost Formation opened.
"Tang Zhun, you go first."
The leading Nirvana Realm Expert commanded. Among the Six Talents, the youth from Yuanjing Threefold stepped forward as ordered.
He walked into the Formation.
At that moment, the Formation behind him immediately closed, while the Formation in front opened again. This process repeated thirteen times until Tang Zhun finally arrived at the position where Lin Qiubai had initially stood, kneeling on the ground with a respectful expression.
Lin Qiubai sat within the Concealment Formation, revealing a faint cold smile.
