"Roar..."
A huge roar spread from the sky above, and a surge of aura shot up within the mountain range, faintly exuding a fierce and evil spirit.
As this roar spread, a tremendous oppressive force strengthened once again, causing the wild beasts in the surrounding mountains to suddenly become frightened and retreat, some lying on the ground trembling all over, not daring to move.
"Hu hu..."
A strong breath soared up, not knowing when it would be able to settle down.
Inside a cave in the canyon, time passed neither quickly nor slowly. As time reached the fifth day again, the blood-colored light that enveloped Li Lin's body, about twenty meters in size, had now shrunk to one meter in size. It was noticeably clear that the massive energy contained within this blood-colored light was slowly decreasing under Li Lin's bit by bit absorption.
The blood-colored light became less and less. Several hours later, when the last strand of blood-colored light was absorbed into Li Lin's body through all the pores, the entire cave suddenly experienced a surge of aura dramatically increasing...
At this moment, Uncle Jiang, who was meditating, and Little dragon both instantly sensed something, almost simultaneously fixing their gaze towards Li Lin, who was now clearly visible inside the cave with his eyes tightly closed.
"Hu hu!"
In an instant, a dazzling yellow glow burst out from around Li Lin, followed by a majestic aura spreading from his body, the aura crazily climbing.
The violent aura surged out, causing the space within the entire cave to ripple instantly, "The boss is breaking through," Little dragon's eyes shone with excitement.
"Hu hu..."
A strong breath burst out from Li Lin's body suddenly, this breath now stirring an invisible force of heaven and earth, which converged and surged into the cave. As this force of heaven and earth entered Li Lin's body, the breath began to increase at a terrifying speed.
The rise of this aura was extremely frightening, somewhat like an unstoppable force.
"Second-level Martial General."
...
"Third-level Martial General."
...
"Peak of the Third-level Martial General." Feeling the explosive increase of Li Lin's aura, the old servant's expression began to grow more and more solemn.
"Kid, don't just focus on the present, absorbing too much energy can harm you in the future," Uncle Jiang murmured, starting to get nervous. In front of this massive breakthrough in strength, it's hard for anyone to easily refuse this tempting force, but he also deeply knew that coveting a sudden increase in strength would definitely destabilize the foundation, which would have a huge side effect on future cultivation, making progress difficult.
However, Uncle Jiang's worry was apparently unnecessary. Li Lin had faced too many such temptations along his journey, each time suppressing them forcefully, and this time was no exception.
At this moment, Li Lin felt his strength skyrocket to the peak of the Third-level Martial General, which was already the limit for his breakthrough. Any further, and he would not be able to control it.
In an instant, Li Lin began to form hand seals, and at the same time, a loud muffled sound erupted from within his dantian qi sea...
"Boom!"
A huge surge of blood-colored energy spread out from Li Lin's body, this blood-colored energy was extremely violent, and then it dissipated into the space.
The far-reaching spread of blood-colored energy made the entire cave filled with this violent energy.
As these energies were expelled from the body and dispersed, Li Lin's internal aura finally stopped climbing and began to fluctuate slightly. After about half an hour, Li Lin's aura finally completely settled down.

"Peak of the Third-level Martial General." Feeling the aura leaking from Li Lin, Uncle Jiang murmured, a smile appearing on his face, murmuring, "This kid, has trained his will quite well."
"Chi chi!"
At this moment, after Li Lin's aura stabilized, his eyes suddenly opened, two sharp glints flashed out, lingering for a long time, his gaze becoming even more profound and exquisite.
"Hu!"
After exhaling a breath of turbid air from his dantian qi sea, Li Lin stood up, feeling the full true qi inside his dantian qi sea, a sense of exhilaration suddenly surged from within his body, all the bones and joints in his body crackled like fireworks, filled with a sense of power.
"So comfortable!" Li Lin lightly said, true qi flowing within his meridians, his blue robe rustling, a surge of aura, several times stronger than before the breakthrough, swept out from his body, shaking the spatial ripples and spreading ripples to the far distance.
"Boss, you've broken through again," Little dragon said happily.
Li Lin stretched lazily, having broken through to the peak of the Third-level Martial General, his strength was now completely on a different level compared to when he was at the First-level Martial General. In the ranks of Martial General, each breakthrough was extremely astonishing.
"How do you feel, can you merge with the Martial Spirit Weapon?" Uncle Jiang looked at Li Lin, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile.
"Hmm." Li Lin lightly said, his hand seals slightly forming, raising his right hand, suddenly a red glow instantly appeared in his hand, a strong aura also spreading with it.
"Ao!"
The blood light converged, and a sound like a dragon's chant immediately echoed from the blade. The sound pierced through the cave to the outside of the canyon, instantly causing hundreds of beasts and birds to flee in panic.
Li Lin excitedly looked at the knife in his hand, about one meter and twenty-three centimeters long, with the knife handle being about twenty centimeters long, like a little dragon coiling around it. The knife had only one edge, elegantly curved and upward, well-proportioned in posture, with a thicker back gradually thinning downwards, and the curvature of the knife body was as agile as a spirit snake. This curvature was perfectly outlined.
The knife was enveloped in a blood-red light, cold and sacred, exuding a tranquil aura. This blood-colored light flickered, flashing with a ghostly blood light, and faintly, there was a murderous aura permeating.
On the blade, Li Lin saw several golden secret patterns, on which, faintly, there seemed to be golden flames jumping, and a breath similar to that of a little dragon permeated from them.
"An unmatched good knife." Li Lin murmured. This knife was too shocking, and Li Lin liked it very much at first sight, as if the knife was a part of his own body. Just the level of this knife, compared to the large knife of Ba Dao Long San, the war knife of Qu Dao Jue, was completely incomparable, not to mention the knife aura emanating from the blade was not on the same level.
"Good knife." Even Uncle Jiang couldn't help but say, his gaze fixed on the knife in Li Lin's hand, saying, "This knife was refined using your essence blood as a guide, the knife changes with the person. This knife is filled with a murderous aura, it seems, kid, you have a killing intent in your bones, otherwise, this knife would not have such a heavy murderous aura. This knife, I'm afraid, will not be a benevolent knife in the future, but, it is definitely a good knife. Try to kill less in the future, too much killing, to avoid affecting your future cultivation."
"Hmm." Li Lin lightly responded, but holding this knife, Li Lin couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent, this killing intent, was actually vaguely able to drive the flow of true qi in his body, as if communicating with spirits.
"Good knife." Li Lin sighed inwardly, couldn't help but infuse true qi into it, and immediately on the knife handle, the dragon head seemed to come alive, once again a dragon chant-like knife sound spread.
"I slash." At this moment, Li Lin did not use any knife technique or martial skills, the long knife in his hand swung straight out, immediately a blade light swept out.
"Chi!"
On the ground of the cave, a crack appeared instantly, a finger-width wide and one meter deep crack spread to the outside of the cave, and a pile of rubble fell down the canyon.
"Hu hu!" Li Lin swung out the blade light, drawing out beautiful arcs, the blade light bringing up a sound like tidal waves and lightning strikes, the blade light moved effortlessly, the momentum was majestic like a herd of thousands of horses galloping, or like huge waves hitting the shore, making wide and large moves, the breaking sound like dragon roars and tiger howls, this momentum was overwhelming and clear.
"Hu!" True qi retracted, Li Lin held the blood knife in his hand, at this moment, Li Lin could feel within the blade, there was a terrifying power flowing, his true qi cooperating with this power, could flow rapidly, vaguely, Li Lin seemed to hear inside the blade, a very eager joyous sound.
"Ka ka..."
At this moment, the sound of explosion was continuous, directly below the ground of the cave were rocks, but now this rock ground was like a spider web, cracked with countless fissures.
"This knife is still only at the Yellow rank level, when your Martial Spirit Weapon reaches the Earth rank level, it will be able to open up space within the blade," Uncle Jiang said to Li Lin.
"Uncle Jiang, only when the spirit weapon reaches the Earth rank level, will it have space?" Li Lin asked.
"That's right, whether it's a Martial Spirit Weapon or a Soul Spirit Weapon, to have space, it can only reach the Earth rank level. The Yellow rank level and the Mysterious rank level can change size, but cannot have their own space," Uncle Jiang said.
"Oh." Li Lin nodded slightly, thinking of Yun Hongling's palace spirit weapon, that must be a Soul Spirit Weapon, last time he was trapped inside that palace spirit weapon, didn't expect that spirit weapon to have reached the Earth rank level, Yunyang Sect is really not ordinary. As the daughter of Yun Xiao Tian, that is also not ordinary, a martial artist carrying an Earth rank Soul Spirit Weapon, and also having two pieces of Earth Sha Mysterious Thunder. If an ordinary person encounters it, it's not a joke.
