Chapter 585: Chapter 580 Breakthrough 6

Between them, grey qi and lightning interspersed with countless runes burst outward in all directions.

The violent airstreams whipped up the sea water, causing it to explode outwards.

Beneath them, a temporary giant round basin was formed. Two large hands were locked in a stalemate, neither side yielding.

"Polar Region!"

"Polar Region!!"

Almost simultaneously, they both entered the Polar Region.

The world around them instantly stilled, turning grey.

The Void Shadow abruptly unsheathed his sword and struck downwards!

Clang!!!

Although he seemed to strike at nothing, there was a real and tangible sound of metal clashing.

The figure of Lin Xin gradually appeared before the blade, his face almost touching at the point where the sword met the sword light. His white pupils conveyed a sense of eeriness and coldness.

"You!!"

The Void Shadow bit down on his teeth, wanting to speak.

But as soon as he opened his mouth.

His body suddenly exploded.

Sssssss!!

Dozens of wounds burst open simultaneously, spattering red blood from his arms, legs, and torso.

Lin Xin casually flicked his hand, the immense force directly knocking the Void Shadow back.

"Do you think you really caught my sword?" he brandished the Red Flower Sword casually, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

Gone was the previous image of the furious Righteous Path Cultivator who loathed evil.

"You... who exactly are you!?"

The Void Shadow covered the largest wound on his arm, his breaths becoming heavier and more labored.

"Who am I?" Lin Xin smiled softly, slowly stepping onto the void, his body engulfed by rolling Demonic Qi, perfectly drawing upon the power of the Sacred Body.

Now, based on his average attributes of over eight thousand, he was unleashing the terrifying power of the Yuan Dou Mother Sacred Body.

Initially, with attributes over six thousand amplified by the Sacred Body, he had already reached the Human Immortal Realm, which is the pinnacle of the True Monarch of Yin. Now, with over eight thousand points, he might have reached the level of the legendary Divine Beasts.

"I am Lin Sherie, the younger brother of Lin Yaoyang, the Sect Leader of the Massacring World Council," Lin Xin said with a smile, providing the answer.

This was the first Human Immortal level expert he had encountered, and his first opportunity to truly weigh the real strength of a same-level expert in the Mortal Realm.

The Void Shadow let out a cold chuckle.

"Since you refuse to speak, so be it." He released his hand, and the wound on his arm healed completely in no time at all.

"No matter who you are, I’ll let Jin Ma go, but behind me is Wang Zhu of the Round Heart Lion King. If you dare..."

Schlick!

The wound that had just healed exploded again, blood gushing out as the Void Shadow cried out in pain.

"You... what have you done!!??"

Lin Xin did not answer but simply closed his eyes slightly.

"You still don’t understand?"

"Understand what? You can’t possibly be Lin Sherie!" The Void Shadow suddenly became frantic with a mix of shock and anger.

Lin Xin re-sheathed the Red Flower Sword.

"From the moment you saw the light of my sword, everything was already over."

The Void Shadow wanted to say something else.

But it was already too late.

Bang!

Bang bang bang!!

Bursts of blood flowers kept exploding under his skin, blood vessels, muscles, meridians, everything was blown to pieces.

His entire body started to explode everywhere.

Hands, feet, the center of the body, shoulders, neck, and even the head.

Initially, it was just blood spraying out, but as the number increased and the damage grew more severe,

Eventually, brain matter and marrow began to splatter as well.

Mixed white and red combined together, resembling an abnormally viscous rain of blood.

Splash!

The Polar Region shattered and everything around returned to its original state.

Lin Xin watched silently as the other’s body was continuously being destroyed by the power of the Thunder Emperor.

The Thunder Emperor was one of the two sources of Thunder Energy he had discovered.

Compared to Yin Yang Thunder Energy, these two types of Thunder Energy were of a higher level, and their origins also lay in strange Demon Gods, similar to the Three Yin Luo Qilin.

Through frequency resonance, he learned the true names of the original Demon Spirits of these two types of Thunder Energy.

One was the Thunder Emperor, and the other was the Bahniu.

Both of these Demon Gods were close to the Three Yin Luo Qilin in rank, indistinguishable in terms of superiority.

It was only a matter of different Attributes.

However, due to the different bodily cultivation systems, his body was more suitable for using the powers of the Thunder Emperor and Bahniu rather than Qilin and Three Yin Luo.

Looking at the Void Shadow finally completely exploding into fragments that fell into the sea,

Lin Xin shook his head slightly.

"What a pity, in the end, using the Yuan Dou Demonic Technique to force the power of the Thunder Emperor, I have reached the ninety-ninth layer with the Rushing Thunder Sword.

Further cultivation won’t mean much, as it won’t break through my realm; right now I’m forcibly relying on my body attributes and sheer quality to reach the level of Human Immortals. It seems I must quickly find a primary Cultivation Technique."

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and with a distant grasp,

A black Storage Ring flew out of the sea water below, landing precisely in his hands.

"A Storage Ring?"

He examined the ring closely.

The ring was carved with a purple eye wrapped in vines, and right at the center of the pupil, a number was etched: 635.

Packing away the items, he looked around before plunging into the sea water, swiftly making his way toward Qingyun Island.

Before long, he had located the position of Qingyun Island by following the direction of the Soul Pact, and he made his way back onto the island.

There, Lin Youke and the other two were already waiting on the shore with the rest of the survivors.

"Young master!"

Lin Youke stepped forward and called out loudly.

"How’s the situation?"

Lin Xin’s gaze swept over Duanqing Long and Kong Xin.

Duanqing Long looked embarrassed, with one arm missing and his body covered in numerous injuries, clearly having been through a severe ordeal.

Kong Xin, too, was missing a leg.

"It’s not very good..." Lin Youke replied in a low voice.

"Forget it, I’ll ask myself." Lin Xin turned to Duanqing Long.

He was more familiar with Duanqing Long than with Kong Xin, so he directly asked him a few questions.

"We were originally deployed on this island waiting for orders, when suddenly a guy with a beard pretending to be from the Gongshang House came running over and led that monster here..."

As Duanqing Long recounted his experience, he also felt a complex emotion stirring in his heart.

As one of the brightest young stars of the Execution Assembly, Lin Sherie had chased after that person and managed to return safely.

Meanwhile, he ended up in his current wretched state and now had to formally report the situation to him.

A sense of inexplicable humiliation welled up from the depths of his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

’This is simply the case of being inferior in skills...’

He quietly clenched his fists and continued recounting his previous experiences.

On the other hand, Kong Xin was okay, not being too familiar with Lin Xin, she supplemented a few details from the side.

"It seems this time the entire Execution Assembly will be shaken." After listening to the account, Lin Xin said indifferently, "With the last two appearances of the Spirit Asura and that Jin Ma, it’s obvious that they are not aligned with the Demon Spirits. They’ve also killed so many of our Execution Assembly members."

"We’ve already reported back to the clan." Duanqing Long said quietly.

"Then, for now, let’s head back." Lin Xin looked at Qingyun Island, now riddled with holes and no longer in its original shape, and suggested.

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

The incident at Qingyun Island shocked the entire Execution Assembly.

Other squads were okay, but Qingyun Island alone was a disaster.

The entire team of the Gongshang House perished, including high-level experts like Gongshang Wu.

Duanqing Long lost an arm, Kong Xin lost a leg, all other subordinates perished, the Spirit Asura appeared, and there was the mysterious Jin Ma.

A series of troublesome events spread to the high ranks of the Execution Assembly.

Lin Yaoyang called a high-level meeting the day the news arrived. All Family Heads were gathered, especially those from the top ten noble families.

No one knew the content of the meeting, but it was said afterward that someone had seen the Kong Family Head roaming the Northern Sea.

The rest of the Family Heads were also rarely seen in their own lands.

The territories of the Execution Assembly suddenly became a place where the wind was surging and mysteries were deepening.

And with this eerie atmosphere, the prestige of Sherie, the son of the Lin Clan’s main family, became increasingly prominent.

In several major operations in cooperation with the Lin Family,

Each time Sherie took action, he left no survivors, his murderous aura terrifying everyone.

It was fortunate that people noticed he was not one to take action lightly. When he did, it was certain the target had some connection with the Demon Spirits.

But within just a few months of his appearance, some enthusiasts quietly tallied up the numbers,

And were stunned to find that he had killed more than thirty Demon Generals and countless Demon Spirits in these months, at least a thousand.

Before long, Lin Xin, as Sherie, had his reputation spread throughout the regions of the Execution Assembly.

With the weakening of Duanqing Long due to his injury, Sherie became the new strongest among the younger generation.

After all, from the performance of the Gongshang House, it could be seen that this Sherie, with his intense murderous aura, was the strongest in real combat among the powerful four.

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

Within the Lin Clan’s estate.

Clad in white, Lin Xin walked briskly with Lin Youke and the other two into the Lin Family’s Cultivation Grove.

The guards on both sides bowed their heads in greeting, their faces showing reverence.

"Young master, greetings. The Family Head is currently in closed-door cultivation; please wait a moment," the maid guarding the entrance to the closed-door cultivation chamber hurriedly explained, bowing to Lin Xin.

"How long has she been in there?"

Lin Xin asked indifferently.

"Reporting to the young master, it has been about two hours."

"All right, you may leave."

After the maid left, Lin Xin walked over and sat down on a stone bench to wait.

"Little brother! When did you return?" Soon, Lin Yaoyang’s voice came from within the closed-door chamber.

The door opened, and the black Talisman Rune above flashed briefly before fading away.

She had changed her attire and was still in her favorite outfit of a short skirt paired with a black silk legs; the hem reached mid-thigh, barely covering her bottom.

The skirt was now a sweater-like dress in a deep blue hue that clung tightly to her body, accentuating both her bust and buttocks, drawing out an alluring figure.

Lin Chuan and the others behind Lin Xin couldn’t help but let their gaze wander, occasionally peeking at Lin Yaoyang’s well-embraced hips with throats bobbing.

"I just returned from completing my mission," Lin Xin replied nonchalantly.

"After the Day of Offering to the Gods, I plan on going directly to the Cliff of the Roaring Sea."

Lin Yaoyang was momentarily taken aback, then she lifted a strand of her hair and lowered her head in thought.

After a long pause, she finally spoke slowly.

"The evil Qi, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Lin Xin remained composed.

"I have my ways, you don’t need to worry," he paused for a moment, "But what I’m worried about is you."

"I am the respectable Head of the main family, the Leader of the Execution Assembly, what’s there to worry about?" Lin Yaoyang smiled.

"I’m afraid that by the time I return, I might not see you anymore," Lin Xin shook his head. Sealers had a lifespan far shorter than ordinary people, and his upcoming cultivation could see years pass in the blink of an eye. It was a real possibility.
