Chapter 453: Chapter 447: Divine Weapon of the Evil God - Part 2

"No need to hurry," Lin Xin said, his face twisting into a wry smile. "Let the little bugs scout ahead first and see what we need to be wary of."

"Even if there were, they definitely wouldn’t be a match for our great and incomparable master! From my many years of combat experience, there should be no existence nearby that can contend with the master. After all, a peerless overlord like master might not appear even once in a few thousand years," said the White Snake, piling on various flattering words with a hint of obsequiousness.

The Golden Armor Beetle Keke Sai snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with the flattery, but refrained from retorting in front of their master.

The four of them waited patiently, and soon, in less than fifteen minutes,

Lin Xin’s expression suddenly shifted, and the corners of his mouth curled upward slightly.

"Let’s go, something’s come up."

All of them showed subtle changes in expression and followed Lin Xin as he soared into the sky, turning into a black demonic cloud, flying toward the ruins.

**********************

In front of the largest temple at the ruins.

The continuous hissing of air being torn could be heard.

On the ground, dozens of black and purple-faced bees lay strewn about, with hundreds more in the air circling a group of people in the middle of the clearing.

All these people were wearing purple metallic masks and wrapped in pitch-black robes. The robes bore embroidered inscriptions of ghostly characters. Had there been someone familiar with this script, they would recognize the characters for ’Enslaved Ha Tribe.’

"Since when did these troublesome mutant bees appear here?" asked the most formidable person among those surrounded by the purple-faced bees, a towering figure wearing a long-strip mask.

With a sweep of his sleeve, he could enter the void like lightning, his sharp claw-like fingers piercing out from behind the space occupied by each purple-faced bee.

Shockingly, it was an Escape Skill infused with an attack, something that only a Golden Core Dao Seeker of decent level could execute.

Moreover, only a Dao Seeking Golden Core proficient in Escape Skill could employ such an attack method so effortlessly.

Each strike from the masked person instantly killed a purple-faced bee without sustaining any injury. However, because of the concern for his people’s safety, he didn’t dare stray far from them to quickly slaughter the swarm of bees.

"Someone just disturbed Lord Bubulodi. It seems the disturbance of the Divine Weapon of Evil God has aroused the greed of many tribes."

Another masked person answered in a deep tone.

"Go and tell Lord Bubulodi, all outsiders are to be killed without exception," instructed the person with the long-strip mask coldly.

"Understood."

One of the masked individuals spun around and suddenly drilled into the ground, vanishing into the sandy terrain.

The Third Grade Foundation Establishment Level purple-faced bees once again converged towards him, their vicious claws and mouthparts mercilessly biting down.

But in an instant, a flash of purple light pierced through.

Whoosh! In a single moment, all hundred purple-faced bees seemed to freeze mid-air, and after a few breaths,

Bang, bang, bang!

All the purple-faced bees exploded in unison.

The Protective Demon Qi of the bee creatures also burst with the explosion, emitting a faint white light, like a cluster of tiny fireworks popping.

The person with the purple mask watched the scene coldly until the last purple-faced bee had completely perished before turning to lead people into the Evil God Temple.

Not far away, Lin Xin and his group hid in the shadows, quietly observing the scene.

"The object Senior Red Leaf asked me to retrieve is inside here, perhaps the very Divine Weapon of Evil God these people spoke of," Lin Xin thought indifferently about the demise of the purple-faced bees. By now, the number of bees had reached tens of thousands, and the loss of a mere hundred or so meant there were plenty more to replace them.

What concerned him was that the purple-masked individual was clearly a high-level expert guarding the Evil God Temple. The person who took action seemed to be the leader, revealing a formidable force that didn’t involve the control of rules, so they probably weren’t at the Yuan Jing Level. They should be relatively easy to deal with.

His concern was whether there might be other top experts within the Evil God Temple.

This place was not like the heartland of the Human Race; the Outer Regions were fraught with dangers, and there were too many high-level experts from other races, far more powerful than those of the Human Race. He had to be extremely cautious with every step.

It would be best if he could take the object and leave quickly without anyone noticing.

However...

Lin Xin’s eyes focused intently on the group of purple-masked individuals entering the temple.

"Such strong Qi-Blood... Such powerful life forces, if they could be consumed by me..." He licked his lips eagerly, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

Each of these purple-masked individuals had Qi-Blood that was equivalent to the blood energy he had acquired at the black market auction.

Some were even stronger.

He could even vaguely feel a hint of palpitations emanating from these people. Not a sense of physical threat, but a Realm palpitation from an understanding and perception of Taoist Intent.

It seemed as though each of the masked individuals was encircled by an assortment of Taoist Intent Barrier layers at all times.

It was as if they had a greatly weakened and scaled-down version of the Yuan Jing Domain, quite unique.

If they could be killed by him, his progress in comprehending Taoist Intent would also be greatly accelerated.

"Master, we could lure them out and use the swarm to launch a siege and attack," suggested the White Snake with a flattering smile.

"Idiot, didn’t you hear that even stronger Bubulodi is around?" scolded the Golden Armor Beetle Keke Sai, unable to help himself.

"Yin Mantuo, go and check the surroundings. The swarm has encountered some minor troubles in a few places; remember their features and strength levels and report back to me," Lin Xin ordered in a low voice.

"Yes," came the response.

"Keke Sai, go test the strength of this group. I will use the swarm to lure one out for you," Lin Xin said.

"Understood!" Keke Sai’s small eyes shone with malice. He had acquired most of Lin Xin’s physical attribute points and Defense points, and as an inherently strong defensive creature, even if something went wrong, he wouldn’t fall easily.

"White Snake, while I make an appearance, you sneak in and try to steal the Divine Weapon of Evil God. If it’s not feasible, just scout it out," Lin Xin instructed.

The White Snake quickly bowed in assent.

"Prepare to make your move," Lin Xin said, his eyes brimming with cold determination as he was about to set off.

Boom!!

Suddenly, a huge ball of blue flame erupted right at the entrance of the temple.

Without any sign or indication, as if appearing suddenly out of thin air, the blue flames turned into a fireball. In just a few breaths, it dispersed, revealing several headless figures in white robes.

"Illusionary Light Tribe!"

Suddenly, masked individuals rose up in front of the temple gate and cried out in shock upon witnessing this scene.

"Let’s go," commanded the lead figure of the Illusionary Light Tribe, where their head should have been, a cluster of blue light issued the indifferent command.

He pointed a finger, and instantly, the masked people who had just appeared screamed horrifically as their bodies exploded, turning into countless blue light spots.

Even Lin Xin had not understood how they had died.

Accompanied by the god of joy, the Illusionary Light Tribe walked up the Evil God Temple steps with confidence and strode through the gate in their long robes.

Hum!!

A barrier wall shining with purple light suddenly appeared just inside the gate, blocking their way.

The god of joy, without any visible movement, suddenly shot a beam of blue light from their head to the wall.

With a crackling sound, the entire barrier wall collapsed, turning into countless blue light fragments.

The procession of headless figures entered the temple as sharp, piercing screams faintly echoed from within.

"God of joy! Are you determined to wage war against the slaves of Kai?!"

A grandiose voice boomed from within the temple, causing the surrounding clouds to disperse from the vibration.

"Where is Bubulodi, the guardian god of the Kai?" the god of joy coldly asked in return.

Then, the temple echoed with chilling tremors that even Lin Xin found startling.

"The Divine Weapon of the Evil God is ours!"

No sooner had they spoken than a group of rabbit-headed humanoids appeared not far away. Under the leadership of a giant rabbit person, they rushed toward the temple with ferocious momentum.

"So their name is the Kai Tribe?" Lin Xin’s eyes flashed with greed once more.

"Attack now! Remember, muddy the waters to catch fish."

"Yes."

The master and his three servants turned into black clouds and drifted toward the temple.

Lin Xin lightly materialized his figure at the entrance of the four gates.

Inside, the battle had already become chaotic.

The blue light constantly gathered and scattered, the god of joy from the Illusionary Light Tribe surrounded by numerous blue light spots furiously combating a huge book-like monster. Despite the tremendous size difference, each clash was head-on and straightforward, with all the power concentrated at one point.

Meanwhile, the group of rabbit people was engaged in a three-way melee with the Illusionary Light Tribe and the masked people.

The strongest rabbit person, wielding a Wolf Fang Club, smashed it down to create a several meters wide rift, kicking up large amounts of yellow dust.

This yellow sand seemed highly corrosive as those splashed by it shrieked sharply and developed large blisters that appeared horrific.

Lin Xin stood at the doorway, momentarily ignored by everyone.

He reached out, and the Silkworm Moon White Sword appeared in his palm.

Immense Demonic Qi madly surged into the blade, causing the entire sword to tremble violently.

A meter-long blood-colored sword light burst from the tip, extending the blade’s length significantly.

"Red Flower Sword Path... Moon Silkworm!"

He abruptly lifted the sword and slashed forward with lightning speed.

With a silent stroke, the blade sliced through the void at an empty spot.

Hiss...

In an instant, silk threads spread out like a spider web from the tip, wildly enveloping the interior of the Evil God Temple.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Evil God Temple transformed into a bloody domain of the Silkworm Moon White Sword, half enveloped by the Yuan Jing Level.

Cocoons with blood-red silk threads hung everywhere around.

"A Human Race cultivator?" The god of joy turned to glance at Lin Xin, then abruptly gestured towards him.

Lin Xin’s expression remained unchanged as he lifted his sword and slashed forward again.

Boom!!!

Two invisible forces collided in midair, causing the entirety of the Evil God Temple to tremble and shake.

A burst of blue light erupted on Lin Xin’s sword. A terrifyingly formidable force, like a train, crashed against his blade, nearly ripping the hilt from his grasp.

That force oppressively surged towards him.

With a ringing clang, Lin Xin’s blade was fiercely knocked aside as an invisible massive force struck his chest.

Thump!!!

Lin Xin slid back more than ten meters on the ground, nearly tumbling down the temple steps.

Surprisingly, rather than retreat, he surged forward like lightning, disappearing into the void.

The god of joy paused in slight confusion before searching for the Human Race’s trace again. However, Bubulodi swung down the Wolf Fang Club once more.

Raising a hand, the god of joy withstood the club that was many times thicker than himself. Transparent spatial ripples exploded beneath his feet.

Boom!!

The ground cracked open with web-like fissures.

Ah!!

At that moment, amidst the struggle with the rabbit people, one of the Illusionary Light Tribe members let out a scream and stumbled backward.

Unbeknownst to him, a hole the size of a human head had appeared in his back.

Blue light spots delicately fluttered from the edges of the hole.

Through the hole, Lin Xin could be seen standing behind with a savage smile.

"Insolent Human Race! How dare you!!!"

Enraged, the god of joy burst out.
