Chapter 691 - 686 Development 2

Chapter 691: Chapter 686 Development 2

The entire wasteland was managed as tightly as a drum.

On the defensive front.

The previously destroyed buildings and small towers had mostly been rebuilt, and fortunately, the Jade Refined Formation wasn’t completely collapsed. It was just its defensive power that was shattered. The other aspects were still okay.

This time’s great war absorbed a vast essence of flesh and blood from the void’s Demon Spirits. There were faint signs of enhancement.

Lin Xin simply dispatched three squads of Soul Reapers, ten in each squad, to widely patrol a Spirit Mile radius around his territory.

Finally, he had the time to begin experimenting with the evolutionary effects on the snow monsters and star demons.

The safety of the Land for God Worship mattered greatly, as it related to whether the residents above could have a stable cultivation practice environment.

Thus, they could improve step by step and step into the Fifth Rank.

Therefore, Lin Xin paid great attention to this.

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

The snow monster stood silently in front of Lin Xin, bathed in the Formation’s white light, revealing its entire weapon soldier appearance.

It was essentially a big bear with bull horns on its head, standing upright and covered in white fur.

The snow monster looked more like a sort of wild beast rather than a weapon soldier.

"Master, do you have any instructions?"

The snow monster panted, its white fur billowed by the airstream, constantly undulating like small waves.

Standing in front of Lin Xin, its eight-meter height and five-meter body width made it almost like a moving hill.

Lin Xin squinted, looking at the first snow monster that had been hatched for over three months. This snow monster, altered by a soul sphere, had a production time far exceeding normal individuals, reaching a full three months.

"Normal snow monsters are extremely powerful spellcasters, with the innate divine ability to summon blizzards. I don’t know what I will become after my evolution."

Lin Xin felt a slight surge of anticipation in his heart and stretched out his hand to press it on the snow monster’s lower leg.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, Master," the snow monster replied deeply, respectfully bowing its head.

White light suddenly flared.

The creature’s entire, vast body ignited like white flames, illuminating the vast expanse of the wasteland in broad daylight.

The already-evolved Flower Demon Kings and Tree Demons looked over from a distance.

With intelligence superior to that of average weapon soldiers, they knew their Master was once again transmitting power to his subordinates, so they curiously gathered around to watch.

The white light quickly dispersed.

The snow monster’s size remained unchanged, but its arms had grown large mouths, identical to the black maw on its head.

"Master." All three mouths spoke simultaneously. "I feel a ceaseless power welling up from within me."

Lin Xin’s face twitched slightly. He had never seen anything like this in the bestiary and had no idea what kind of abomination it was.

But knowing it had become stronger was good enough.

"Can you still hold on? What changes do you feel now?"

In that short time, he had directly transferred over a thousand average Attributes to it.

Apart from the snow monster’s arms growing two more mouths, there were no other changes.

"I feel that my innate divine ability has grown stronger and it takes less time to activate now," the snow monster replied.

"Why don’t you try using it?" Lin Xin spoke softly.

The mutated snow monster nodded, lifted its arms, and all three mouths began to chant an unknown curse script.

Hum!!!

All around the wasteland, the void suddenly filled with countless snowflakes. Swirling in a blizzard, they covered as much as one-third of the wasteland.

The snow monster gradually ceased its spellcasting.

The white blizzard quickly passed, and everything it covered turned into ice crystals, shattered crisply, then melted into clear water.

"The enhancement is quite good, and indeed, the speed has increased a lot," Lin Xin frowned. He had previously allowed the unevolved snow monster to cast a spell. A blizzard took around three seconds, and the intensity and area were only half of this.

"Can you still hold up?"

He looked down at the snow monster.

"No problem, Master."

The mutated snow monster replied with all three mouths in unison.

"Then let’s continue."

White light once again surfaced on Lin Xin’s hand.

An unending Attribute Flow entered the snow monster’s body.

It calmly endured the pain brought by the enhancement, without howling or violent movements.

Its body rapidly underwent earth-shaking changes amidst the white light.

New mouths started to grow on its arms, and the tips of the white fur slowly began to darken.

The horns on its head grew longer, and its massive body began to shrink and shorten, becoming somewhat translucent.

Until Lin Xin felt that transmitting more Attributes might be more than the snow monster could bear, he finally slowed down.

The mutated snow monster had changed drastically once again.

It was now only three meters tall, hunched over as if aged.

Its body covered in black hair, the horns on its head curved backward, reaching to the middle of its back, giving off an ancient vibe.

The most peculiar were its arms.

The two thick arms were densely covered with big mouths of various sizes.

Upon a rough glance, Lin Xin counted over ten mouths.

"Master, my power has reached its limit," the snow monster spoke deeply to Lin Xin.

"My bloodline informs me that I have reached the pinnacle. This should be the form of a True Name Summoner. I can evolve no further unless I possess a greatly complete soul."

"True Name Summoner?"

Lin Xin seemed to have seen this name somewhere before.

"Indeed, my bloodline tells me that I can summon the power of the great beings whose true names are branded in the void. And have their servants come to my aid in battle."

The mutated snow monster replied in a deep voice.

Lin Xin pondered for a moment.

"Then what should I call you now?"

"There can be only one true name summoner in a region, and only after my death will the void’s brand recognize another living true name summoner. We possess uniqueness, so Master, may I request that you bestow a name upon your most loyal servant?"

The mutated snow monster spoke respectfully, its entire body prostrating on the ground as it devoutly saluted Lin Xin.

"That’s fine." Lin Xin was slightly surprised by the snow monster’s high intelligence, and he also felt somewhat regretful that such an obviously uncommon ultimate form possessed uniqueness.

"Since I created you, you shall take my surname, Lin. Moreover, since this form appeared by accident, I shall name you Lin Yi. How about that?"

"Thank you for the name, Master!!"

Lin Yi trembled slightly with excitement.

"Let me see your abilities."

Lin Xin spoke indifferently.

The several tree demons around them, as well as the Flower Demon King, all focused their attention on this side.

The evolutionary form of the snow monster was far different from the original, especially the rows of mouths that had grown on its arms—just looking at the mouths continuously opening and closing was enough to give someone goosebumps.

Such an odd form must possess exceptional abilities.

These spiritually intelligent soldiers were all a bit curious.

"As you command, great Master!"

Lin Yi rose to his feet, hands slowly conjured dots of purple light coalescing into an amethyst staff, which he used to support his body.

He thrust the staff into the ground.

He spread his arms and began to chant mysterious syllables that no one could hear.

After a while, the mouths on his right arm began to chant different syllables, as if two completely different tunes were being sung simultaneously.

The combination vaguely made one feel agitated.

Lin Xin narrowed his eyes, sensing a strange and ancient aura faintly trembling in the void.

After a while, the mouths on Lin Yi’s left arm also started to make noise, chanting a third type of syllable.

Soon, the three types of syllables further diversified, each mouth chanting a different syllable, as if over a dozen different songs were mingled together.

Even Lin Xin began to feel a slight headache.

Waves of purple ripples began to emanate from Lin Yi.

Wong!!

A purple circular vortex materialized in front of Lin Yi.

Out of the vortex slowly stepped an eight-meter-tall black beetle.

It stood upright, holding a giant chain scythe in its hand and wearing a pair of white horns on its head. It had the arms and legs of a human.

"Cher obeys your orders, great true name summoner!"

The beetle creature roared loudly, its voice shrill.

It moved aside, and then from the circular vortex stepped more black beetle creatures, only slightly smaller than him, each wielding a scimitar and a round shield.

One after another, the beetle creatures kept coming, their numbers increasing steadily until more than a dozen had emerged, each exuding Second Rank or Third Rank auras.

And the first one that came out even posed a threat that Lin Xin could feel.

It was obvious that it had means to injure even those at the peak of Fifth Rank.

Lin Yi ceased chanting and turned to explain to Lin Xin.

"Master, this is Cher, a servant of one of the great beings in the void. They command an army of 360,000 beetle soldiers, and as long as you can offer them enough compensation, this army will serve you."

"Three hundred and sixty thousand..."

Lin Xin’s face twitched.

"What compensation do they require?"

He couldn’t understand the language of the beetle creatures.

After Lin Yi translated, he questioned Cher.

"Blood food! Metal! Souls!" Cher replied loudly. "We require a thousand of each!"

Lin Yi rapidly translated.

Upon hearing ’blood food’, a vague sense of foreboding rose in Lin Xin.

"Ask them which great being’s true name they serve."

Lin Yi eagerly translated.

Immediately, the face of the beetle creature showed fanaticism.

"We serve the great, boundless, irresistible, Star-eating King."

Subsequently, the remaining beetle creatures that had stepped out began to raise their scythes and shields and shout fanatically as if they were praying.

"The Star-eating King... I knew it!"

Lin Xin’s expression turned extremely grim.

"Quick, send them back!"

Lin Yi, although confused, did as instructed, which displeased Cher, but under Lin Yi’s threat, he obediently returned through the light gate.

Lin Xin stood in place, his complexion taking a long time to return to normal.

The Star-eating King was one of the most infamous Evil God Kings, a terrifying giant worm whose size was almost half that of the Mortal Realm.

It was also one of the Evil Gods that had mysteriously vanished during the divine wars.

He did not wish to become inexplicably entangled with this Evil God King, as dealing with one Xia and one Shadow City was already enough for him.

"Can you summon servants of beings that are not Evil Gods or Demon Gods? Or say, avoid summoning known servants of the great beings that have records of contact."

Lin Xin quickly transferred all the names of the Evil Gods and Demon Gods he had read about into a stream.

"First, look at the data to identify them. I will find you more comprehensive information later. You must avoid Evil Gods and Demon Gods, and summon the servants of other beings."
