Chapter 519: 476 straight line 2

"That guy is looking for the Stone of Hiding, and Mina is not in the Imperial District," the middle-aged scholar sighed. "But charging into the Imperial District and blowing up the White Emperor’s Avatar, that’s indeed a bit too much."

"Return to base! Go back and kill that guy!" the Black Squirrel shouted furiously.

"The leader won’t allow it," the scholar shook his head.

"But..."

"There are no buts. White Shadow is there; she’ll handle it after she gets back," the scholar added. "Besides, the White Emperor himself hasn’t said anything, so why are you getting worked up?"

"It’s outrageous! That guy!" the man with the small mustache clenched his teeth. "Just because he beat a few small dragons, he dares to...."

In this world, they were invincible, undying.

No matter how many times they were killed, they would resurrect stronger the next time.

If it weren’t for that side effect, they could become incomparably powerful.

"Forget it, forget it, he’s just an ignorant kid. Once we’re done with our important tasks, we’ll come back and help the White Emperor deal with him," the middle-aged scholar tried to persuade.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion came from behind, where the Sky City Ybeith, location of the White Emperor Palace, was situated.

A blindingly bright ball of flame completely burst open at the highest point of the city.

The flames mixed with a large amount of dark red and gold, and the whole palace crumbled amidst the rumbling sound as if something was madly destroying it from within.

"That guy... destroyed the entire palace! Weren’t your favorite ancient manuscripts kept there?" Black Squirrel asked the scholar.

The middle-aged scholar shuddered but managed to suppress his emotions.

"The leader’s orders are important. Moreover, most of my manuscripts are in the Royal Secret Vault, there’s no need to...."

Boom!

Another loud explosion came from behind.

"The vault has also been blown up," Black Squirrel said gloomily.

"I...." The middle-aged scholar’s hands trembled, but he was still trying hard to control himself.

"Regardless, the leader’s orders...."

No worries, there was another even more secretive Royal Secret Vault, where the most precious manuscripts were truly stored.

"It seems he has also found a new vault..." Black Squirrel’s voice came at that moment.

The middle-aged scholar completely froze.

"Kill..."

"I’m going to kill him!! Kill that brat!!! Ahhhhh!!!"

Suddenly he twisted the spaceship’s control wheel, his face flushed red, his eyes showing madness.

"But the leader’s orders..." the man with the small mustache interjected, trying to remind him.

"I’ll kill him and then go to the leader to beg for forgiveness!!" the middle-aged scholar’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had gone completely mad.

"He’s really lost it..." the man with the small mustache was no longer in a hurry.

"Get ready, we’ll resolve the battle in an instant and then immediately return; that shouldn’t delay us," Black Squirrel said irritably.

The silver-white spiked spaceship disengaged from its long-distance jump prep state and drew a rapid trajectory in mid-air, then sped up madly, heading straight for Li Chengyi, who was wreaking havoc in the direction of Ybeith.

The distance of thousands of kilometers was covered in just ten seconds with the terrifying acceleration of the spaceship.

Quickly, the spaceship stopped above Ybeith, and the three were about to leap out from it.

In an instant, a beam of golden light shot up from below.

It was like a sharp knife, striking the spaceship dead center.

Hiss!!

The spaceship was hit squarely in the middle, its shield field as frail as paper, easily breached without any resistance.

Caught between shock and rage, the three urgently swelled their bodies, pores in their skin oozing out a large amount of silvery metallic liquid, beginning to transform.

"Oblivion Form!" x3.

The three rushed out of the spaceship, their bodies instantly transforming into three colossal humanoids of pure silver.

They hadn’t even completed their transformations.

In one-thousandth of a second, a massive ashen trident swept up from below with a thunderous roar.

Fourteen times the speed of sound!

Striking from below in an upward sweep.

It hit the three figures squarely.

Boom, boom, boom!!!

Three loud explosions unfolded, the air shook violently, instantly exploding into ripples visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions.

The three figures scattered and shot away, in the blink of an eye piercing through the three support warships behind them.

’!!?? What’s with that guy?! How can his strength be so immense?!’

The middle-aged scholar, now a silver humanoid standing fifteen meters tall, had a gigantic white halo hovering behind him, his body entwined with silver streamers, resembling an ancient temple’s godly general or arhat.

At this moment, he was hastily twisting his body, decelerating and turning.

The three imprints on his chest glowed brightly, indicating he was using all of his Imprints to counter the immense shock that had just invaded his body.

’Damn it! If only my Imprints weren’t of the strength type...!!’ The scholar’s heart raged as he shone with silver light, his internal energy furnaces supplying full power for kinetic energy.

Finally, his speed began to slow down.

But...

Whoosh!

A black shadow suddenly and silently caught up from behind.

The scholar’s heart tensed, and he looked back.

Another massive tri-pointed halberd was descending upon him.

’Space Annihilation Cannon!!’ The scholar’s halo erupted with blinding white light from behind.

A ring-shaped cannon beam burst forth from his halo, striking the incoming halberd squarely.

But a surge of white mist emerged, nullifying the cannon’s impact. The halberd, against the beam, continued its fall and struck its target with a crash.

In a flash, in less than a second.

The middle-aged scholar’s silver form was cleaved at the waist, exploding with a loud boom, turning into a fireball.

This huge white fireball, with a diameter of over a hundred meters, almost entirely illuminated Ybeith, like an added sun in the sky.

Countless people looked up towards it.

But within the white firelight, what they saw was a tall black-armored figure shrouded in white mist.

Behind it was a white mist-formed giant hand clenching a massive tri-pointed halberd, hovering in mid-air.

"One." Li Chengyi withdrew his gaze, looking towards the other two locations.

"Stone of Hiding, where is it? Hand it over, and I might spare your lives."

Whoosh!

Two silver figures flickered into existence before Li Chengyi, also floating in mid-air, their eyes staring fixedly at him.

"You dare to kill us?!" exclaimed the silver figure that was once a Black Squirrel, as it began shedding its silver sheen, its body growing larger and larger.

Ten meters!

Twenty meters!

Thirty meters!!

In an instant, it swelled into a terrifying thirty-meter tall giant squirrel, its entire body composed of twisted, root-like muscles.

With a thunderous boom.

Its legs hit the ground, stomping fiercely onto the rooftop of a building, causing a part of the Imperial Palace to crumble into ruins.

Three engravings on its body flickered with silver light.

Giant Strength, Accumulation, Hardness.

Li Chengyi immediately recognized the type and meaning of the imprints.

"So, it’s also part of the Imprint System?" His eyes lit up with intense red light, and wisps of scorching smoke exhaled from his nose and mouth.

"A Giant Strength Imprint on a body of this size... Perfect, let’s see how much strength I have gained after absorbing the Dragon King Essence."

After numerous battles, he had now largely understood that imprints represented the realm an existence had attained or the number of times it had sublimated.

Some beings were inherently strong enough that even one sublimation was more powerful than the multiple sublimations of many weaker creatures.

This was the principle of multiplication with a base number.

Now his vitality had reached an unprecedented level of terror, and he had absorbed the Dragon King Essence and enhanced it to the pureblood of the Dragon King using the Flower Language Technique.

His essence was so high that it could be used as a material for high-end experiments... Ah...

A shadow fell across Li Chengyi’s eyes as the pride that had just begun to swell within him was forcibly suppressed.

Memories of being crushed to death and back to life by Mother of Emerald, the beam of Golden City, and the cataclysmic storms surged back into his mind.

Roar!!!

The giant squirrel below roared furiously, pounding its chest in madness, its entire body covered in rock-like armor.

"Die!!"

It swung one massive claw, aiming a vicious blow at Li Chengyi.

"Yin Canon: Overturning the Sky."

Li Chengyi controlled the Blood Essence to swing the Tri-pointed Halberd, pointing it upward.

Whoosh!!

Amidst the giant whoosh, the Tri-pointed Halberd spun rapidly, transforming into a blur that slashed upwards.

The blade moved upward, meeting the descending claw of the squirrel squarely.

Boom!!!

A thunderous explosion blasted another layer off the top of the building.

Both the squirrel and Li Chengyi were shaken violently, with over a hundred thousand tons of massive force, the squirrel was losing ground in the clash!!

Incredibleness filled its enormous eyes, its body rocked backward, staggering as it nearly fell into the gap between buildings.

Just as Li Chengyi was about to pursue, a series of golden and white beams took the opportunity to strike at him, hitting his body.

The terrifying high temperature scorched his flesh rapidly.

But soon, his body turned black and vanished into thin air, as if what had always been there was mere illusion. This was the Shadow Spring.

"Incorporeality? I can do that too."

At that moment, a similarly black figure emerged from behind with a ferocious palm strike, knocking Li Chengyi out of the Shadow Spring state.

The figure’s body also faded in and out of existence, ethereal, ready to vanish at any moment.

It was the man with the mustache.

From the instant the middle-aged scholar was annihilated, he knew they had underestimated Li Chengyi.

This man’s strength was so formidable that it posed a threat to their very lives.

So, after a quick exchange, the two devised a strategy: one would distract with a frontal assault, and the other would sneak attack from the shadows.

They didn’t fear death, they could be resurrected after dying, but resurrection came at a cost...

If they wanted to avoid becoming mindless monsters lurking in the blind spot, they needed to strictly limit their own deaths.

The moment he pushed Li Chengyi away, the mustached man’s chest lit up with three imprints at once.

His imprints were completely centered around enhancing his talent for incorporeality.

Hence, he could not only make himself intangible but others as well!

In his Oblivion Form, he could instantly turn an entire building incorporeal, erasing it from the spatial plane.

And now, he was using that ability on Li Chengyi.

’Exile’s Shadow!’

The talent ability, strengthened by three imprints, completely took effect at that moment, darkness enveloping Li Chengyi’s entire body, swiftly dragging him into a completely quiet and deep mysterious world.

Pfft!

The man vanished.

The mustached man sighed in relief and looked towards the Black Squirrel.

Thump!

Suddenly, an ashen blade pierced through his skull from the back, emerging from his forehead.

The mustached man was stunned.

The Black Squirrel was stunned as well.

"How... is that possible!?"

"He was already exiled! Why!!? Why!?" Both were indescribably shocked at this moment.

What on earth was this guy...?

"Sorry, the last thing I fear are teleportation abilities..." Li Chengyi held the sword with one hand behind him, slowly drawing it out.

The mustached man let out an enraged roar, but he dissolved silently into black smoke, scattering into nothingness, waiting for resurrection.

The last one left.

Li Chengyi’s gaze fixated on the final Black Squirrel.

"You can’t kill me!! Just wait, in the future... we will come back..."

The Black Squirrel furiously swiped its claw at Li Chengyi.

Of the three, only its abilities were the most monotonous.

No... compared to the powerhouses on the Shaoyin side, the strength here was quite monotonous.

In an instant, an ashen Trident materialized and struck the Black Squirrel’s claw.

This time, unlike before, massive amounts of golden light shimmered, and a plethora of Blood Essence wildly spread over the Squirrel’s giant body.

Now, Li Chengyi truly began to exert the terrifying corrosive and poisonous nature of Blood Essence.

Sourced from Midlane, this powerful system naturally carried intense toxicity and infectivity.

Any living being touched by Blood Essence would start to be contaminated, gradually becoming a red-eyed infected carrier.

Li Chengyi was curious to see if Blood Essence would exhibit its effects in the Earth-Moon White Star as well.

And even better, he had just acquired the Flower Language Ability specially targeting monsters in the blind spot, which he could use when they were weakened.

For the new Flower Language Ability, he actually had high hopes.

Unfortunately... things don’t always go as expected.

Unnoticed, rolling black clouds began to churn in the sky.

Crack.

A bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, striking a few dozen meters away from Li Chengyi in the open air.

Huge amounts of electricity converged rapidly, coalescing into a vague blue figure.

Before the figure solidified, Li Chengyi’s gaze hardened as he saw the five engraved patterns glowing on the figure’s chest.

They were engravings he didn’t recognize!

At the same time, behind this person, white light also condensed another white female figure, with four engraved lines glowing on her chest.

The glow of the imprints was a sign that their abilities were fully activated.

"This must be our first meeting, right?" the blue figure began slowly, "Flower King Li Chengyi."
