Lin Mo stood up and launched the flaming longsword at the mountain peak in front of him.

An explosion ensued, and like a volcano eruption, countless flames appeared across the mountain.

The power of the sword was simply too powerful. Lin Mo felt as if possessed the power to cut down heaven and earth itself.

This was also the reason why he did not bring out Plain White Snow. After all, the scale of destruction from the combined firepower would likely annihilate everything in its path…

Lin Mo then turned his head and smiled at Bai Luo, “Thank you.”

“Pfft, Hooligan.”

Bai Luo’s pretty face turned red. She turned her head away and scolded Lin Mo.

This caused Lin Mo to be in a daze until a gentle breeze blew past him, causing him to feel a slight chill.

He lowered his head to take a look and only then did he understand what had happened.

Looking at Yan Rong’s half-smiling expression on the other side, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him and turned around to walk towards the stream located near them.

Due to the continuous burning of the flames, his outer layer of skin had long been charred.

This extended to his clothes as well, which had long turned into ashes.

This left Lin Mo feeling somewhat awkward. Bai Luo had used high-grade spiritual stones to help him comprehend the Dao principles, and yet he ended up acting like a hooligan right after he finished his cultivation…

After taking a bath in the stream, Lin Mo changed into a set of clean clothes before slowly walking back.

“I’m sorry. I got carried away.” Lin Mo chuckled and said.

“Hmph.” Bai Luo snorted and ignored him.

Seeing this, Lin Mo did not get angry. He calmed down and revised what he had just comprehended.

Back when he was cultivating earlier, the God Devouring Body was circulating the Dao principle of flames. Lin Mo had fused with those principles like a silkworm turning into a cocoon. After breaking out of the cocoon, he was reborn.

Upon being reborn, all the principles of flames he comprehended had been integrated into his Soul Devouring Art, making the ability even more powerful.

At present, Lin Mo estimated that his Soul Devouring Art was comparable to a spirit-grade tier 5 technique.

This was a level of cultivation technique that most would never be able to attain throughout their lives.

Not even those listed in the Yanhuang Board of Fame were capable of incorporating Dao principles into their cultivation techniques.

It was something that not even Nirvana Realm experts were capable of doing.

And yet, Lin Mo had done it, despite being only at tier 17 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

After spending a day to recall the principles he had learned, Lin Mo stood back up.

However, Lin Mo felt a trace of imperfection in his comprehension of the Dao principles.

It felt as if a divine tune had come to an abrupt end right as it reached its climax. Had he taken his comprehension another step further, an even more melodious tune would have been unlocked.

Unfortunately, this was a difficult step to take. As such, Lin Mo was forced to halt his progress.

Lin Mo felt that it was a pity. However, the opportunity was now lost, and he had no other choice but to wait for the opportunity to rise again.

At this moment, Lin Die also woke up. The commotion of her awakening was very large, and it was extremely shocking.

A powerful aura erupted, and the cocoon of flames exploded to reveal a scarlet figure.

Lin Die had donned on scarlet armor, and she was wreathed in brilliant flames. On the scarlet armor, traces of white patterns could be seen. It was extremely mysterious.

“Rumble!”

Great Dao symbols spread out. The Instant Lin Die appeared, thunderclouds appeared in the sky.

An extremely dense aura of the great Dao spread out, and traces of lightning slowly appeared.

“What’s going on?” Lin Mo was stunned.

“Not good, it’s because of the Shape-shifting Pill…” Bai Luo suddenly thought of something.

She slapped her forehead, feeling extremely vexed. “Damn it, I forgot that she had taken a Shape-shifting Pill and transformed into a human in advance.”

After hearing the Bai Luo’s reasoning, Lin Mo, Lin Mo also felt a little regretful.

Creatures born of earth must obey the laws of heaven. According to the natural order, Colorful Fire Demons were supposed to go through nine stages of transformations before they were allowed to take the form of humans.

However, by ingesting a Shape-shifting Pill to transform into a human, Lin Die had violated the natural order.

Although Lin Die had safely gone through the first phase of her transformation, divine judgment was being delivered for breaking the laws of order.

“What should we do?” Lin Mo asked. He did not wish to see Lin Die perish due to divine reckoning.

“The only one she can rely on is herself. There is an order to things, and by violating said order, divine judgment will be delivered.” Bai Luo shook her head and said.

Lin Die needed to handle her divine trial on her own. Should others attempt to interfere, they would be implicated as well.

“Will she be alright…” Yan Rong asked worriedly.

Throughout all this time, Lin Die had never once participated in battle.

No one would have expected her first battle to be something as scary as a divine trial…

“Don’t worry. She has eaten plenty of heavenly materials and earthen treasures. This heavenly trial must be a piece of cake for her.” Bai Luo said.

Although Lin Die was badly struck by the heavenly lightning, she was still struggling to resist it.

She stayed strong regardless of the pain she had to endure.

Fortunately, the power of the first divine trial was not that great. In the end, Lin Die flew down with an ashen face and complained to Lin Mo and Bai Luo.

“Don’t cry, Lil’ Die. It’s only a divine trial, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Bai Luo hugged Lin Die and consoled her as if she was achild.

After giving her an examination, Lin Mo heaved a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

After going through the first transformation, Lin Die’s strength had increased by leaps and bounds. At this moment, she was equivalent to someone who was at the peak of the 10th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

Her cultivation speed made Yan Rong feel ashamed of himself. He needed to obtain a lot of opportunities, otherwise, Lin Die would catch up to him before long…

“We should come out of seclusion. Right now, the outside world must be bustling with activity, right?” Lin Mo suggested.

However, they were somewhat behind the times. The outside groups’ search for resources had already reached the depths of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Those who were still lingering outside were either weak or had just entered not too long ago.

Since Lin Mo’s group had just received a major power-up, the resources at the outskirts of the pool no longer interested them. As such, they hurriedly went after the other groups that had already ventured into the depths.

It had taken them a full day of pursuit to reach their target. By the time they had found traces of human activity, they could finally sense the presence of spirit herbs nearby.

“Spirit-grade spirit medicine, I can sense it. There’s no mistake.”

Lin Die exclaimed excitedly. She had not eaten anything for a whole day. Now that she had found a spirit grade spirit medicine, she naturally did not want to miss it.

The group ventured deeper into the pool. Before long, they spotted a spirit-grade medicine. It was a Blood Lotus, which was used for healing…

At the same time, there were a few familiar faces around them as well. They were members of the Mu family, the Sima family, and the Primordial Sun Holy Land. There were three factions already present on scene.

However, it seemed that the three forces were in an alliance.

In front of them was a ten feet long crocodile. Its strength was at the 25th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and it was extremely powerful.

“They’re very confident. To think that they actually split up into several groups.”

Lin Mo and his group appeared out of nowhere and ambushed the enemy factions. Upon killing the crocodile and taking its inner core, they then proceeded to pluck the spirit medicine for themselves.

Seeing the four people who suddenly charged out, the three factions roared angrily at them.

“What? You want to make a move against us?” Bai Luo held a silver-white spear in her hand and looked at the crowd with a threatening smile.

“By the way, how many spiritual stones can a spirit-grade herb sell for? Lin Mo played with the Blood Lotus in his hand and asked.

“What are you planning to do?” Bai Luo was stunned.

In the next moment, Lin Mo said something that dumbfounded everyone in earshot.

“Spirit-grade tier 1 Blood Lotus. The starting price is 30 million low-grade spiritual stones. The highest bidder will get it…”

Bai Luo roared at him.

“Lin Mo, you seem to be suffering from a serious bout of illness…”
