Even the Sect Leader looked astonished at his soaring aura. Lin Chen’s physical strength and battle qi cultivation broke through at the same time! His battle qi cultivation advanced to the third level of the Tempering Qi Realm, and his physical strength surpassed 1,900 tiger forces!
Lin Chen rushed up 400 steps and seized another cyan iron chest.
[Host opens the cyan iron chest and obtains: mid-tier level 3 Seven Stars Soul Stealing Spear, and 1 top-tier Green Order Soul Stealing Spear Manual.]
The rewards from the second cyan iron chest were even more abundant, causing Lin Chen’s eyes to tremble!
When he reached the 460th step, Lin Chen grabbed the last chest!
This chest was completely different from the previous ones. It was pitch black, ancient and simple without any embellishments, permeating an aura from ancient times.
"What an amazing chest, I wonder what treasure is inside..."
When Lin Chen opened it, a light screen popped up from the system.
[Host opens the ancient chest: obtained fragmented ancient formula, mid-tier Green Order Chaos Five Spirits Formula.]
The treasure he obtained this time made Lin Chen gasp!
Green Order mid-tier! And the rarest and most precious type of formula!
"Damn, I've really hit the jackpot this time!"
Lin Chen's heart pounded. He walked towards the altar at the mountain peak again.
The closer he got to the top, the higher the quality of the attribute spheres and treasures Lin Chen obtained. These were most likely left behind by the most outstanding disciples of the Shenwu Sect from previous generations, or were originally left here by the ancestors of the Shenwu Sect.
When he reached the 493rd step, there were no more attribute spheres, and the pressure Lin Chen was under reached a terrifying level!
"I can't go on like this. Green Dragon Bloodline, unleash 70% strength!"
Boom!
A terrifying and ferocious aura erupted. With a palm strike, Lin Chen grabbed the 497th step and used the strength of his azure dragon arm to propel himself up!
The ancient altar radiated an eternal aura from time immemorial. Lin Chen collapsed on top of it, panting heavily. Moving a finger required tremendous effort.
Lin Chen just lay on the ground to recover his strength. In the center of the altar floated an unprecedented attribute sphere.
It was the size of a fist. Ancient talisman characters that looked like tadpoles flickered inside the attribute sphere, emitting a grayish white glow that only Lin Chen could see. All of the pressure transmitted by the altar originated from this attribute sphere.
"What kind of attribute is this?!"
Lin Chen had never seen such an attribute sphere before. It was a little similar to the Green Dragon Bloodline attribute sphere he had obtained earlier. Both radiated unique auras.
After resting for a moment, Lin Chen struggled to get up. Although he moved slowly, he could barely budge. He slowly approached the attribute sphere and finally grabbed it in his palm.
[Congratulations Host for obtaining the 'Slow' Rune, Level 1.]
"Rune? What kind of attribute is this?"
Lin Chen was puzzled. He opened the system panel.
[Host: Lin Chen

Elemental energies: Fire 8,268 points, Earth 6,471 points, Wood 6,325 points, Metal 7,266 points, Water 8,432 points.]
[System notifies host that Runes are part of the host's abilities and possess unique powers. They can be attached to the host's battle qi attacks or used independently. Slow Rune: When used, can cause individual powerful beings or designated areas to enter a slowed state.]
The system's explanation made Lin Chen gape! This Rune's power was probably terrifying. Landing a decisive blow to slow the enemy at a critical moment could affect the outcome of a battle!
"Heehee, my strength has increased at least several fold this time!"
Lin Chen simply sat cross-legged on the altar. Who knew if that Sect Leader would turn hostile on the spot. Converting what he just obtained into combat power was the first priority!
"System, I want to cultivate the Chaos Five Spirits Formula."
[Host cultivates Chaos Five Spirits Formula, consuming 13,000 points of Skill Proficiency, and 3,000 points of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth elemental energies each.]
New cultivation knowledge poured into Lin Chen's mind. His dantian's qi sea began to roil and expand, becoming many times larger than before. At the same time, it turned multicolored, eventually condensing all the elemental energies within.
"Chaos Five Spirits Formula; can cultivate battle qi of the five elemental attributes - Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. The more elemental energy absorbed, the stronger the battle qi's attributes."
Lin Chen opened his eyes. A flame of fiery orange battle qi burned in his palm, then transformed into a lifelike golden lotus.
"My battle qi now has attributes. Displaying battle skills will be dozens of times more powerful! Along with my physical strength, my combat power has risen exponentially!"
Lin Chen's eyes lit up. The boost from a Green Order cultivation method was already terrifying. Without using any skills, just pure battle qi attacks from Lin Chen were no weaker than his full powered Heavenly Thunder Fist previously.
This power, augmented on top-tier Green Order battle skills dozens of times stronger, would increase Lin Chen's combat power more than tenfold!
Lin Chen continued sitting cross-legged on the altar. With the Rune's disappearance, the pressure here began to diminish. He had to seize the time.
"System, I want to learn the Soul Stealing Spear Manual, Seal of the Four Demon Kings, and Gale Steps - three top-tier Green Order battle skills."
[System notifies host that Skill Proficiency is insufficient to fully learn the specified three skills. Either the Soul Stealing Spear Manual or Seal of the Four Demon Kings will have one incomplete skill. Please choose, host.]
"Not enough Skill Proficiency? Then fully learn the Soul Stealing Spear first. Any proficiency for the Seal of the Four Demon Kings will do."
...
Below the altar, the Sect Leader saw that Lin Chen had been on the altar for a long time without moving.
"Could something dangerous have happened? Did this brat run into trouble?"
The Sect Leader knitted his brows. But suddenly, he discovered that the pressure from the altar was slowly decreasing!
"Hmm? The altar's restrictions are gradually weakening!"
Just as the Sect Leader was about to rush up after the restrictions were undone to check on Lin Chen, his figure finally emerged from the steps.
With a swift leap, Lin Chen moved as quick as the wind. In the blink of an eye, he was back in front of the Sect Leader.
"How was it? Are you alright? Did you find anything or treasures up there?"
The Sect Leader asked excitedly, an extremely rare occurrence. But Lin Chen shook his head slightly. "Sect Leader, there was nothing on the altar. When I climbed up, I was suppressed by that pressure and couldn't move at all. But for some reason, it started fading away after a moment or so, and I came back down."
No treasures? How could that be?
The Sect Leader's gaze instantly turned sharp, seemingly wanting to see through all of Lin Chen's secrets.
But Lin Chen had nothing on him at all, with obviously no place to hide anything. With his previous status as an outer sect disciple, he clearly didn't have the background to possess a spirit ring yet.
Strictly speaking, there really was nothing on the altar. That Rune could only be seen and obtained by Lin Chen.
Facing the Sect Leader's gaze, Lin Chen was neither servile nor overbearing, even exhibiting an aura of not fearing the other party at all!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
ng, and even slandered me for harassing the waitress. You all need to stand up for me, your boss! @everyone!" Special Forces King Lin Chen: "No useless messages in the main group! Message retracted!" An Yi: "Damn it! Poker face, give me the group admin rights!" Martial Arts Emperor Fang Jueming: "Master, what happened? I'm coming to save you!" Disowned Young Master Bai Xiu: "I finally got three months of sleep, and you woke me up with that @. What did you retract?" Reincarnator Chen Bing: "Can't even handle such a trivial matter? Boss, don't blame me for looking down on you (pushes glasses up)." Reborn Shangguan Qianqian: "Oh, harassing a waitress? Does Mu Xuan know about this?" An Yi: "No, it's not like that, Qianqian, let me explain!" Poison Doctor Zhang Fan: "Ahem, need some sterilization drugs? I just learned a new recipe, works pretty well." Sword Saint Xiao Ye: "A sword will do the trick, guaranteed not a drop of blood." Fire God Ye Tian: "Let's think about how to save An Yi. Is he in danger? I'm not too familiar with the rules of your world." Son-in-law Dragon Long Aoyun: "Already gathered 100,000 troops, on the way." An Yi: "..." An Yi: "@Son-in-law Dragon Long Aoyun, bro, no, don't be impulsive, just transfer some money!"
