After everyone left, Lin Qianxuan walked alone on the road filled with corruption, heading towards the column of corrupt smoke.

He wasn't walking particularly fast, but soon enough he saw the massive, towering black statue that was several hundred meters tall.

This was the leader of the Cult of Corruption, Tie Zhen.

He had utterly transformed, devouring countless people in the Imperial Palace, becoming this hundred-meter-tall creature of corrupt gas.

Lin Qianxuan could feel it; the energy level of this being far exceeded his own.

Genuine Celestial Rank power.

But unfortunately for it, under the blessing of the Sound of Destiny, his strength was far superior, by many measures.

"Stranger, have you come here seeking answers as well?"

Countless mouths on Tie Zhen's body opened and closed, producing a sound as if thousands spoke simultaneously.

Lin Qianxuan felt a slight dizziness, but once he steadied his heart and spirit, the interference was negligible.

"Though it's not my first time seeing this, you still make me feel like I'm losing sanity points," Lin Qianxuan quipped.

Tie Zhen did not quite understand Lin Qianxuan's words, but it didn't matter.

"Fool, come, enter my embrace, the Corrupt God offers everyone eternity, the answers you seek are all here..."

Bang~!

Boom~!

Lin Qianxuan responded with a strike of the Immortal Divine Fist from afar.

Tie Zhen reacted swiftly, instantly forming seals with dozens of arms, creating a barrier of black corrupt gas, blocking Lin Qianxuan's punch.

"Impressive."

Lin Qianxuan smiled.

If it were destroyed with a single punch, he would truly find it dull.

With a thought, the water flow he had long since gathered surged from all directions, his eyes manifesting countless tentacles, images of the fate lines appearing within them.

In the next instant, Tie Zhen raised a hand to strike at Lin Qianxuan.

But he missed, only hitting the ground.

Rumble~!

The ground under attack burst open, everything within dozens of meters around was destroyed.

Boom~!

Another dark gas column was blasted out by Tie Zhen, flattening a building behind Lin Qianxuan, yet still failing to hit him.

Lin Qianxuan had dodged just a moment in advance, as if foreseeing the attack.

The Eyes of the Muddled Heaven, these Eyes of Divination, could peer into the future.

Though seeing far into the future is difficult, as long as the opponent is not too strong, Lin Qianxuan could manage one or two seconds ahead.

For a strongman of his level, even a tenth of a second is enough to decide victory.

Swish~!

Lin Qianxuan stepped on the flowing water, maneuvering around Tie Zhen's attacks, reaching right in front of him as though taking a leisurely stroll.

Then he slightly clenched his fist.

Full power Divine Energy, Immortal Divine Fist!

Bang~!

Boom~!

The concentrated wave of Divine Energy precisely hit Tie Zhen's bodily weak point, the corrupt shield instantly shattering, tearing a breach in his body.

"Foolish mortal, you shall be judged..."

Tie Zhen's compassionate face now bore a hint of anger, his offensive becoming ever more ferocious.

But it was useless.

To Lin Qianxuan, this was nothing but a target.

And not a very durable one.

Bang~!

Boom~!

Boom~!

Boom~!

After three consecutive full-power Immortal Divine Fists, Tie Zhen's body had several more holes.

His gigantic structure could no longer hold itself, collapsing backward.

Lin Qianxuan made a gesture, and Myriad Phenomena transformed into Gongsun Ying's glow.

"Heaven Opening!"

The very Heaven and Earth Opening Divine Saber Slash, the same move, the same weapon.

Yet this strike's power was a hundredfold stronger.

The concentrated crimson saber qi, hundreds of meters long, tore everything apart, bisecting Tie Zhen's upper body.

"Corrupt God...."

Tie Zhen was still alive.

Lin Qianxuan lifted his hand and slashed out another beam of sword qi.

Then another followed immediately.

In just two seconds, Lin Qianxuan unleashed nearly a hundred sword qi slashes, each a full-force release.

These beams of sword qi completely shredded Tie Zhen.

This time, there was finally silence, his body beginning to disintegrate and dissipate.

Lin Qianxuan reverted Myriad Phenomena to its original form, feeling the state within his body.

Even though his Divine Energy was limitless, such intense bursts of Divine Energy made him somewhat tired.

But it was merely fatigue; it was not enough to truly harm him.

Allowing the Myriad Phenomena-transformed lotus to rest before him, Lin Qianxuan utilized his body technique, leaped directly into the column of corrupt smoke.

Myriad Phenomena absorbed a vast amount of corrupt gas, Lin Qianxuan's form descending freely, reaching the bottom in no time.

It seemed like a side hall here, writhing flesh covering the ground everywhere.

Having seen it countless times in the game, he naturally knew what to do at this moment.

He proceeded along the path inward; it wasn't long before he saw that desk, and also the broken Imperial Seal and Holy Decree.

The Holy Decree was a transfer of mandate, but it was irrelevant now, as the Crown Prince was already dead, and it was the corrupt Emperor Feng who personally killed him, which Lin Qianxuan had learned from Emperor Feng.

What truly mattered was that Imperial Seal.

Lin Qianxuan held it in his hand, feeling that the material was quite extraordinary.

However, it was now full of cracks, clearly having suffered unimaginable attacks.

He tried to simulate with the Myriad Phenomena, but the feedback was that the Spiritual Essence was insufficient.

This was as expected.

Lin Qianxuan remembered in the game, replicating the Imperial Seal required over five billion Spiritual Essence.

He conveniently put it into his pocket and continued moving forward.

After a short journey, he reached the end of this place, where the Eye of the Muddled Spirit was located.

That fissure did not physically exist, as if it had been torn open directly in space.

Muddy air kept gushing out from it, terrifying in quantity.

Yet Lin Qianxuan only cast a glance at the Eye of the Muddled Spirit and then looked away.

Now was not the time to stir up trouble, as he still had some conditions yet to gather.

Searching around, Lin Qianxuan quickly spotted that unusual piece of flesh.

It was semi-transparent, vaguely revealing a humanoid shadow inside.

Stepping forward, Lin Qianxuan wrapped his hand with flowing water and tapped on it.

The feedback from the flesh felt strange, somewhat like the cuticle of an animal, but with the warmth and moisture of blood and flesh.

"Who?"

Emperor Feng awoke from a long slumber, speaking in a weakly breathed voice.

"I'm with the Muddy Spirit Resistance Army," Lin Qianxuan said briefly.

"Muddy Spirit Resistance Army? The organization of the Gao Family! Someone actually reached here safely? Where are the people of the Muddy Intent Sect?" Emperor Feng asked.

"All killed, not a single one left," Lin Qianxuan replied. "I'm here to end the Muddy Calamity."

Although he had interacted with Emperor Feng many times in the game, this was the first time engaging him in reality.

Lin Qianxuan felt a bit peculiar.

"There's no saving it unless the ancestors reappear; otherwise, our only path is to accept extinction..." said Emperor Feng.

"Where is your sword?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

He had just looked around but couldn't find the piece of flesh hiding the Emperor Sword in correspondence with the game.

"The Emperor Sword has lost its Divine Soul and is now just an ordinary Sword Embryo," said Emperor Feng. "Even if you get it, you can't contend against the Muddy God!"

"That's why you talk too much," Lin Qianxuan said helplessly. "Just tell me where it is. Now it's me doing things, not you!"

That's how it was in the game; when you asked him a question, he always liked to lament first.

"It's right in the flesh on your far right," said Emperor Feng.

Following Emperor Feng's direction, Lin Qianxuan looked over and indeed saw a black flesh pillar in a corner crevice.

"It's different from the game. Has the flesh grown after being muddied? No wonder I didn't see it before."

Lin Qianxuan realized that this muddied flesh was not static; they kept growing. Naturally, following the game's fixed timeline to look for it wouldn't work.

Arriving in front of the muddied flesh, Lin Qianxuan transformed the Myriad Phenomena into a blade and injected Divine Energy, easily slicing open the muddied flesh and extracting the Emperor Sword from within.

However, he couldn't replicate it now; replicating the Emperor Sword required over eight billion Spiritual Essence.

Though much, it wasn't really much.

While by the Eye of the Muddled Spirit, the Myriad Phenomena further enhanced by Lin Qianxuan's Divine Energy could absorb and transform about twenty billion Spiritual Essence an hour at most.

It wouldn't take long to gather enough Spiritual Essence to simulate the Emperor Sword.

Then he could use the Emperor Sword's function to condense a refined Spirit Sword, further absorbing and transforming Spiritual Essence to let the Myriad Phenomena simulate the Imperial Seal and Qiankun Cauldron, while strengthening Longevity.

During this period, he planned to cultivate again.

Using flowing water to form a cushion, Lin Qianxuan sat cross-legged, fully operating the "Immortal Divine Body Skill" and "Qilin Body Tempering Skill".

"Your Divine Machine's aura is familiar; was it the Emperor's Armor modified? To absorb muddy air! Does its Divine Soul still exist? What a pity, if only I could obtain it back then..." Emperor Feng said.

"I suggest you shut up," Lin Qianxuan finally couldn't help but interrupt.

Emperor Feng finally fell silent.

Lin Qianxuan finally achieved peace for cultivation.

After about half an hour, Lin Qianxuan sensed the Myriad Phenomena's feedback; it could simulate the Emperor Sword now.

Immediately, Lin Qianxuan had the Myriad Phenomena simulate it.

The energy from the Myriad Phenomena spread over the Emperor Sword, reading much information from its past timespace.

Lin Qianxuan's goal was to mimic its Peak state.

The Myriad Phenomena actually suggested it was a bit strained; it could mimic, but not fully simulate.

In other words, various functions would likely be a weakened version.

Only then did Lin Qianxuan realize that the Emperor Sword simulated by the Myriad Phenomena in the game, though turned out, was still an incomplete version.

"Roughly how much can be simulated?"

Lin Qianxuan pondered.

[Forty percent].

Lin Qianxuan raised an eyebrow, thinking it would be at least sixty to seventy percent.

Unexpectedly, the Myriad Phenomena could only simulate forty percent of the power.

"Forty percent it is!!"

With a thought from Lin Qianxuan, the Myriad Phenomena in his hand transformed into a longsword about seventy-eight inches long.

Unlike the original black and gold color of the Emperor Sword, it was a crimson color, matching Lin Qianxuan's Divine Energy hue.

Lin Qianxuan also perceived the functions of the Emperor Sword obtained from the Myriad Phenomena simulation.

Refine Divine Energy, alter quality.

Upon Divine Energy injection, the Emperor Sword's toughness would increase, and its weight could change accordingly. Additionally, it could refine the Divine Energy injected into it.

As for how much it could be refined, it mainly depended on the level of the Divine Energy injected by the person.

Lin Qianxuan injected a portion of Divine Energy, intending to use it for refining immediately.

In an instant, his Divine Energy underwent extreme compression, almost directly compressed to a few hundred to a thousand times its original concentration.

This was not something achievable by the Myriad Phenomena alone, but also due to Lin Qianxuan's augmentation from the Sound of Destiny acquired from Gongsun Yue's [Chaotic Heaven].

In summary, although the Myriad Phenomena only simulated forty percent of the original Emperor Sword's strength, in reality, it far exceeded the original Emperor Sword's strength.

"What does refining such condensed Divine Energy feel like for body tempering?"

Curious, Lin Qianxuan immediately executed the "Immortal Divine Body Skill," guiding a wisp of refined Divine Energy stored within the Myriad Phenomena into his body.

At this moment, Lin Qianxuan's body, which had never felt depleted under Divine Energy tempering, suddenly felt quite full!!
