Faced with Wei Zongxian's attack, Lin Yun's speed was extremely fast, and he dodged the attacks of the Hell's Chains one by one.
The moment the skeletal arm waved, runes appeared on the Demon God's Sword.
There were more than a hundred streaks of sword qi.
Every streak of sword qi emitted a dazzling sword light, and wherever they passed, the space would shatter.
Wei Zongxian did not dare to be careless. He knew that Lin Yun had mastered the Power of Space, and he could not resist it with his physical body.
At this moment, Wei Zongxian could only give up on attacking. He recalled all the Hell's Chains and formed a black shield in front of him.
Bang, bang, bang-!
Many streaks of sword qi were blocked by the shield formed by the Hell's Chains, but there were still some that penetrated the Hell's Chains and landed on Wei Zongxian's body.
Wei Zongxian grunted and retreated. Some of Lin Yun's sword qi were fused with the Power of Space, and some were imbued with the Power of the Soul.
Although the Hell's Chains were strong enough to resist the Power of Space, they could not absorb the Power of the Soul.
Wei Zongxian was at a disadvantage because of this last battle.
Hellfire Eye!
Wei Zongxian's right pupil had already turned into a symbol of a flame. This was his self-created move.
Wherever his gaze passed, Hellfire spread everywhere.
In a short period of time, Lin Yun's body was covered in Hellfire.
However, at this moment, Wei Zongxian was shocked!
Previously, when his Hellfire hit Lin Yun, it was still able to leave serious damage on Lin Yun's rib cage.
However, this time, although the Hellfire stayed on Lin Yun's body for a longer time, the rib cage was only slightly charred. It was not damaged.
"How is this possible!"
Wei Zongxian could not believe it. How could Lin Yun's defense be strengthened to this extent in just a few days?
One should know that Hellfire was known as an inextinguishable fire. The fact that Lin Yun was able to extinguish the Hellfire last time was already shocking enough.
But this time, the Hellfire lingered on Lin Yun's body for a longer time, and the injuries it caused were smaller.
This also meant that Lin Yun's defense was much stronger than a few days ago.
"Are you surprised?" Lin Yun sneered. The terrifying sword pressure of the Demon God Sword spread out, causing the entire ground to tremble.
Lin Yun's sword slashed down. Wei Zongxian reacted in time to block the attack with his Hell Chain. Even so, his body was still sent flying.
Wei Zongxian's body pierced through several mountains.
Just as Lin Yun was about to launch another attack, a large amount of Hellfire started burning beneath Lin Yun's feet.
However, Lin Yun still calmly flew out of the sea of fire and attacked Wei Zongxian.
"So powerful!" Even though the Dragon and Phoenix Beasts were aware of how extraordinary Lin Yun was, they were still shocked to see Wei Zongxian being completely suppressed by Lin Yun.
They couldn't imagine how strong Lin Yun was right now.
Even a pinnacle Level Two Wu Zun would not be able to come out unscathed in that kind of Hellfire.
Unless, Lin Yun's defense was already strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Level Three Wu Zun!
A martial artist's defense was divided into three states: physical defense, immortal defense, and defensive means.
The first state: physical defense.
Physical defense was the purest defense of one's body without using any defensive means, including martial spirits, martial techniques, cultivation techniques, bloodline power, or tools. In addition, without using immortal energy to protect one's body.
This state was usually used by martial artists when they were not in combat. For example, when they were sleeping, they didn't subconsciously activate their immortal energy. This was the state of defense.
Under this state, even a martial artist with a higher realm would still be a mortal. Even a mighty figure at Emperor Wu's realm wouldn't dare to take an attack from Wu Sheng.
The second state: immortal energy defense.
Immortal energy defense meant that one didn't need to use any defensive means, including martial spirits, martial techniques, cultivation techniques, bloodline power, or tools. It relied on the immortal energy and the body's dual defense.
This state was usually used by martial artists when they were in combat. When a martial artist entered combat and gathered immortal energy, the immortal energy would automatically form on their body. The defense that people often talked about was the defense under this state.
The defense under this state was directly related to the amount of immortal energy stored. The more immortal energy a martial artist had, the stronger the immortal energy defense.
Emperor Wu's immortal energy was already immune to any attack from Wu Sheng, and could even withstand a low-level Wu Zun's attack.
The third state: defensive means.
Defensive means, on the basis of physical and immortal energy defense, used martial spirits, martial techniques, cultivation techniques, bloodline power, tools, and any other defensive means.
This state of defense was a martial artist's ultimate defense. It was also known as a martial artist's life-saving means.
Under normal circumstances, when a martial artist used these life-saving means, he could basically defend himself against attacks from other martial artists of the same level. But these life-saving means were only temporary, or consumed a lot of energy.
For example, the Yellow Emperor's Spatial Shield could only last for a short period of time, and it consumed a lot of energy.
The rib cage that Lin Yun was using now was borrowing the power of the demon god core crystal. Strictly speaking, it was the third state of defense.
But the demon god core crystal had already become one with Lin Yun, and the two were inseparable. The demon god core crystal's energy was equivalent to Lin Yun's immortal energy. And the rib cage's defensive state, like the immortal energy, could be maintained for a long time. So the rib cage's defense could almost be seen as Lin Yun's immortal energy, which was the second state of defense.
Under the second state of defense, Lin Yun was able to resist a full-force attack from the third-level Wu Zun and come out unscathed. This was almost equivalent to Emperor Wu's level of defense!
After all, Lin Yun was currently only at the Wu Sheng level. A mere Wu Sheng's level of defense could rival Emperor Wu's. This was simply shocking!
In fact, in the Three Realms, Lin Yun could be said to be a freak.
Since ancient times, the bodies of demonic beasts had been stronger than that of martial artists. But even the Dragon and Phoenix Beasts with the bloodlines of the dragon and phoenix couldn't compare to Lin Yun's physical defense.
Even the Dragon and Phoenix Beasts couldn't imagine how strong Lin Yun's defense was now.
The Dragon and Phoenix Beasts were dazzled. Wei Zongxian was completely suppressed by Lin Yun. Although his Hell's Chains could block most of Lin Yun's attacks, he couldn't withstand Lin Yun's soul attacks at all.
Wei Zongxian was getting more and more shocked as he retreated. Only now did he realize that he had still underestimated Lin Yun.
In a short period of time, the two of them had exchanged more than 10,000 blows, and Wei Zongxian was forced to retreat again and again.
It wasn't until Lin Yun's sword came down from the sky and Wei Zongxian let out a blood-curdling scream as blood spurted from his right shoulder that the intense battle finally eased up.
"Your Hellfire is no longer effective against me. What other tricks do you have?" All of this was within Lin Yun's calculations. The reason why he could remain unscathed in the Hellfire was due to two factors.
First, his strength had increased greatly. The defense of his rib cage was indeed enough to withstand the attacks of a third-level Wu Zun.
Second, he had already fused with the fire-elemental core crystal. Although the Hellfire wasn't something ordinary flames could compare to, the fire-elemental core crystal still created a partial immunity effect.
Given Wei Zongxian's current strength, the damage that the Hellfire caused to Lin Yun's rib cage was practically negligible.
"I finally understand why the Yellow Emperor has always wanted to get rid of you. You are indeed a monster." Wei Zongxian released his immortal qi to heal his wounds. Although the effects weren't comparable to the Divine Dragon Bloodline, his wounds were still healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even though he was at a disadvantage in this exchange, Wei Zongxian didn't show the slightest bit of panic on his face.
"The reason you dare to stand here now is because your seal has been removed, right?" Lin Yun changed the topic and said calmly.
Wei Zongxian's expression changed when he heard this. "How did you know?" he asked in a low voice.
Lin Yun sneered but didn't explain.
Wei Zongxian's aura was now stable. Furthermore, Lin Yun had also used his spirit sense to check that the Universal Soul Subduing Formation that had originally sealed his Martial Soul had also been removed.
