The story of Lin Chen and the woodcutter quickly spread across the entire continent, causing many people to change their initial views about the young man.
A growing number of people firmly believe that the opponent is not a particularly frightening presence.
Although he is a killer with great skills, he only targets reputable martial sects and absolutely does not harm innocent and weak individuals casually.
The grudges between Lin Chen and the reputable sects are matters many are not aware of.
Lin Chen’s next target is the Five Elements Sect, the last reputable martial sect on the continent. Once he completely destroys the Five Elements Sect, perhaps there will be no one around the continent to stop him.
As Lin Chen arrived at the foot of Five Elements Mountain and was about to ascend, he suddenly felt a dizzy spell in his head, followed by a feeling of nausea in his chest. He covered his chest with his hand and sat down under a nearby tree.
Initially, the sensation wasn’t particularly strong, but as time progressed, it grew stronger and stronger.
Lin Chen unexpectedly drifted into a sleep.
As Lin Chen fell asleep, he seemed to see a silhouette appear in front of him, emitting a white light.
This was an elderly man of moderate height, yet it was clear he possessed formidable power, with an aura incomparable to others.
"Young man, are you sure you want to go up the mountain?"
The voice offered its advice as if right before him.
Lin Chen looked at the old man suspended in the air and responded affirmatively; he was definitely going up the mountain, impossible to change his initial decision.
"Move aside quickly; I don’t like being obstructed. I must go!" Lin Chen roared with a loud shout.
"The sea of bitterness is endless, but repentance leads to the shore. If you choose to stop now, I might spare your life; otherwise, you may ascend the mountain but you won’t come down!" spoke the white-bearded old man.
Lin Chen naturally dismissed this, for in his view, with his great skills, defeating the white-bearded old man before him would be easy.
"Many have told me this before, but now they are all dead; I imagine you won’t be an exception."
The white-bearded old man, greatly disappointed, shook his head and sighed; he had indeed come to teach the young man here, yet this youth was so oblivious to advice.
"Do you truly believe you are invincible?"
Perhaps Lin Chen shouldn’t have said such arrogant words before, but now, with his skills further enhanced, those words of invincibility could still hold true.
"I don’t know if I’m invincible, but I can guarantee I can definitely defeat you?"
The old man remained motionless and silent in face of these remarks. After a while, the old man revealed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
"If you knew my true identity, perhaps you wouldn’t say such things?" The old man looked at the youth before him and spoke calmly.
Lin Chen felt a bit curious and slowly lifted his head to look at him.
"Your true identity, what is your true identity?" Lin Chen asked, looking at the Five Elements Ancestor before him.
"My true identity is the Five Elements Ancestor, haven’t you heard of that name?"
Lin Chen, experienced in the martial world, was naturally aware of the reputation of the Five Elements Ancestor, whose name echoed throughout the continent, unmatched by any.
After all, in many people’s view, the Five Elements Ancestor was likely to become the next entity capable of being revered as holy.
"I’m indeed quite unfamiliar with that name," Lin Chen frankly expressed his true thoughts.
"I’m telling you, if you don’t choose to retreat now, I might eliminate you even in your sleep,"
Lin Chen had already heard about the Five Elements Ancestor’s ability to kill in dreams, previously thinking it mere myth, yet today it seemed real.
"Very well, in that case, I shall challenge you today and see how powerful this killing in dreams truly is."
Lin Chen drew out his Longsword with his right hand and pointed it at the Five Elements Ancestor ahead.
The Five Elements Ancestor saw this and displayed an attitude of disdain, then extended his own right hand, and a Longsword surfaced.
"Young man, I thought you were a living being, existing in this world unintentionally, yet you refuse to turn back from wrongdoing. Today, I shall take you down instead."
The old man finished his words and leaped into the air, raising his weapon high, aiming it at the opponent’s head.
Lin Chen saw this and instantly brought out his own weapon, blocking over his head; the two weapons collided, triggering a massive shock wave in the dreamscape.
Lin Chen leaped into the air, wielding his weapon, and the two battled fiercely in the air, exchanging blows numerous times.
Lin Chen never expected the Five Elements Ancestor to indeed possess skill, given that he had inherited the demon’s power and yet struggled to gain an upper hand.
"I didn’t expect you to have some ability, but it should all end now."
The Five Elements Ancestor, not having exerted his full power earlier, decided against further hesitation, aiming to end the battle swiftly.
"Are you about to use your full strength now?" Lin Chen observed the Five Elements Ancestor, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
In his view, even if the Five Elements Ancestor exerted fully, he could still face him calmly.
"I’m telling you, get ready to bear my raging fury next!"
The Five Elements Ancestor finished his words, leaping into the air, extending his right hand, and transforming his Longsword into a giant Light Sword.
This enormous Light Sword stretched boundlessly, hovering above.
Though Lin Chen hadn’t yet clashed with this Light Sword, he could sense its immense power. If it were to strike him, he feared turning to dust would be inevitable.
"You have some skills too, I see," Lin Chen remarked calmly, eyeing the Light Sword hovering in the air.
Even if that Light Sword truly fell on him, he could face it composedly.
Lin Chen absolutely would not choose to retreat; he intended to face the challenge and challenge the heights with the person before him.
Seeing the opponent’s Light Sword, its radiance growing stronger, he was somewhat daunted.
This time he had finally met a worthy opponent.
