Chapter 742: Chapter 737 Counterattack 1

The ground beneath his feet buzzed, and a white light flared up, instantly whitening Lin Xin’s field of vision.

When his sight cleared, he was already sitting in a dilapidated hut.

In front of him was a gray wooden table smeared with grease, and just like him, there were two other people sitting at the table, slowly opening their eyes.

"Groups of three, it seems you two are my team members for the Flower Clear Dust mission," a male cultivator said slowly.

"Our target is nearby, let’s go."

The other, a woman wielding a longsword, had a cold expression with a red vertical mark between her eyebrows, giving her a particularly fierce appearance.

Lin Xin remained silent.

The three of them stood up and suddenly shot out, thunderously breaking through the wooden door of the hut.

Outside was a bustling street.

Commoners were coming and going, a never-ending stream of people.

In the middle of the street, carriages continuously passed by.

Inside one of the light red carriages, a handsome man with a sinister face was groping within the clothes of a young girl, his lips just detaching from her neck, leaving behind a small bloody cut.

Boom!!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

The wooden house to the right of the carriage suddenly collapsed, and three shadows burst out of the door, charging towards the carriage.

Three formidable auras instantly locked onto the sinister-looking man inside the carriage.

"Seeking death!!"

The man immediately began to sneer, thinking there were no experts in this small world that could threaten him.

His choice of this location was simply because with his cultivation level, he was able to deter the entire small world, do as he pleased, and no one could rival him.

Although these three auras were strong, they were still not enough to perturb him.

He pushed the young girl aside and grabbed with his right hand, as countless wisps of black energy converged in his palm and casually lashed out.

But the moment the forces met, he suddenly realized something was wrong. His face changed dramatically.

"No good, an Earth Immortal!!!"

Boom!!!

In an instant, the three figures each unleashed their True Yuan killing techniques, slamming down.

Invisible ripples instantly spread throughout the entire street, and even the entire small city momentarily froze, and then the ground could not withstand the tremendous force and exploded.

The entire small city instantly crumbled and was leveled by the explosion.

The sinister-looking man roared furiously, but despite his Earth Immortal strength, he was caught off guard by the sneak attack, and his body was annihilated in an instant.

His spirit turned into a shadow, attempting to fly away.

Shh!

The woman with the vertical mark on her brow pointed with her sword, and countless sword threads appeared, easily annihilating that wisp of a shadow completely.

"Let’s go."

Lin Xin and the other two left directly.

As for the tens of thousands of innocent civilians involved, that was not within their concern.

Then came the second location.

Above the ocean, a solitary boat, where they executed a fat woman who was openly holding a grand assembly.

In the void, they killed five Green Lake Mountain cultivators hiding in their own Land for God Worship and a Shadow City cultivator.

It wasn’t just Lin Xin’s group; across all realms, countless teams of cultivators were frantically targeting Shadow City individuals.

In just two days, anyone found to have the slightest connection with Shadow City or suspected of such was purged.

Over thirty Earth Immortals were killed by the groups of Earth Immortals alone, a number that represented a severe blow to a power like Green Lake Mountain’s Shadow City.

Green Lake Mountain, in pursuit of a single Shadow City cultivator merely on suspicion, blood-washed three medium-sized Sects, implicating and punishing all related families to the ninth degree for harboring crimes.

This shocked the entire Human Race and rapidly weakened Shadow City’s influence in the Human World and nearby realms.

The extermination action was extremely straightforward.

The main sect sent intelligence with specific locations, target auras, cultivation techniques, spells, magical treasures, and even mentioned their life-saving Secret Techniques.

Occasionally, targeted plans were issued.

This was also Lin Xin’s first experience of the terrifying capabilities of the Winter of the Golden Crown.

The Winter of the Golden Crown oversaw the entire planning of this Shadow Purging Team, resulting in an extremely low casualty rate for the purging team, with only one person injured due to being a bit slow to act, being wounded by a target’s self-destruction, and that was the extent of it.

The rest were unharmed.

Lin Xin had even used the simple Fire Cloud Technique, employing the Fire System spell method he was not very skilled at, to perform rapid attacks. Without much effort, he easily killed an enemy, an Earth Immortal of the same cultivation level as himself.

This was simply effortless.

He later learned from the male cultivator in his group that the Winter of the Golden Crown chose their targets with extreme precision.

All of their targets were entities completely overpowered by their practiced cultivation techniques.

Moreover, before they acted, low-rank cultivators had already used methods such as poisoning, ambushes, shocking the spirit, paralyzing, and other means, to undermine the targets severely.

Finally, it was their turn to strike and achieve easy kills.

This strategy also left Lin Xin in awe.

He gained a profound understanding of the strength of Green Lake Mountain.

After killing more than a dozen targets, the trio was teleported back to the main sect and disbanded. This round of the Shadow Purging Team’s mission came to an end, waiting for the next one.

Lin Xin and the other two exchanged Jade Talisman numbers for future contact.

The other two were seasoned Earth Immortals, each a Realm Master of their own worlds, with vast and powerful forces.

However, although Lin Xin’s own cultivation was not strong, he had a Heavenly Venerable Honored Master as his backbone and was also the Deputy Dean of the Scholar Academy, a background that made him no less prominent than the others.

Considered equals.

After that operation, Lin Xin and the others returned to their respective places, and news came from the Dragon Serpent that the next round of slaughter would be at a higher level.

Green Lake Mountain had officially declared war on Shadow City, with three Heavenly Venerables descending to the battlefield and fighting against the powerhouses of Shadow City in the third heavenly realm.

Even one of the six departments had taken action, directly confronting a Deputy City Lord of Shadow City. The scale of the conflict was far beyond what an ordinary cultivator could imagine.

The results came out swiftly.

Shadow City suffered a major defeat. One of the Deputy City Lords was killed in combat by one of the six departments, and their territories suffered heavy losses with their influence drastically shrinking.

If it wasn’t for the sudden attack of demon spirits from the void, which besieged the Void Spirit Tower under the coercion of the third heaven’s Army Master and endangered the defense line, Green Lake Mountain would have been able to cripple Shadow City in that strike.

This battle saw the annihilation of three medium-sized worlds and sixteen small-sized worlds, with their elemental energy shattered and vitality extinguished.

Although he did not personally join the battlefield, just thinking about it made Lin Xinguang feel a surge of excitement.

It was only at this moment that he truly integrated into Green Lake Mountain’s terrifying power and considered himself as one of its members.

Back in the Dragon Serpent Realm, he gave some guidance to his disciples, then he directly returned to his own Land for God Worship, the secluded realm.

Next, he should prepare the foundation of his cultivation practices.

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

The secluded realm.

Lin Xin stood in the secret chamber, his eyes on the number of light points in the crystal on the wall.

There were... two hundred forty-one people who had ascended....

That should be enough.

He already vaguely felt that his soul seemed to have reached its limit.

If any more Human Immortals ascended, he feared he truly wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.

"This will do," he decided and sat down cross-legged in front of the blurry gate.

A blood-red talisman formation slowly spread out beneath his feet.

Two hundred forty-one light points, among which eighteen formed an apparently random formation, swirling and dancing within. The rest did not form a formation, vanishing like smoke.

He silently recited the scripture of the Green Yuan Decision.

The Green Yuan cauldron buried beneath the secluded realm began to vibrate slowly.

Eighteen smaller Green Yuan cauldrons revolved around it, and eighteen streams of True Essence Soul Power roared into Lin Xin’s Green Yuan cauldron.

The memories and understandings had long been assimilated by him, but he was still lacking the last hurdle.

That was to conclude the practice comprehensively according to the scripture of the Green Yuan Decision of the Dust Condensation Realm.

After Dust Condensation, the next realm would be the Origin Earth Realm.

Every realm of Earth Immortal cultivation required at least a thousand years of accumulation.

Origin Earth was just like that.

At this realm, what was required was the gathering and condensation of the world’s origin from the myriad realms of the void, transforming it into dust to become part of the Land for God Worship.

From this perspective, the Realm Masters who owned small worlds had an even greater inherent advantage. To find the world’s origin, they only needed to gather the elemental essence from their own controlled small worlds.

However, such gathering would significantly consume the lifespan of a world.

Therefore, most Realm Masters would not take such actions. Instead, they choose to travel to other worlds and collect elemental essence from those worlds to supplement their own.

Lin Xin had the same idea at this moment.

With the Ancient Divine Artifact, the Qi Lai Mask, in hand, he could take a little risk and try his luck; if he could open up a new world, that would be an immense benefit.

The secluded realm shook violently for a moment and then stopped.

The ground gradually emanated strands of white gold, with the scent of immortality seeping out and forming into distinct clouds of mist.

The air seemed to become even fresher and cleaner, with surges of elemental energy and spiritual energy erupting en masse. The density of the spiritual energy in the secluded realm rapidly increased by a sizable margin.

Sealing his cultivation base and stabilizing the Dust Condensation Realm was not a particularly difficult step.

Soon, Lin Xin slowly rose to his feet, and a blood-red circular talisman array beneath him rotated slightly,

With every movement, even casual actions, he could cause the originally tens-of-times-greater Elemental Energy to ripple and surge tumultuously.

He still needed to carefully adapt to the surging cultivation level.

"To stabilize the realm after breaking through to Earth Immortal, aside from being a bit time-consuming, is much simpler than I imagined," Lin Xin inspected himself with satisfaction.

His ascension had been exceptionally perfect.

The waters of Supreme Clarity inside his body had also completely transformed into sand-like crystals, frighteningly dense.

"At this point, I should be able to touch upon the secrets of the shadowy mansion..."

Finally, he turned his gaze towards a small booklet laid out on the floor beside him.

That was the secret scroll about the mansion in Shadow City, obtained by asking his Honored Master, Dragon Serpent, from the main sect.

Ever since his rebirth in the Underworld, the shadowy mansion had always been entwined with him, and even now, he had not been able to completely rid himself of its troubles.

It was only because the distance was too far, that he had been temporarily suppressing it.

Now he finally had the opportunity to unravel its secrets.

He gently picked up the small booklet.

He slowly opened it.

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

Nightmare Realm

BOOM!!!

In a dark palace floating in the sky, the armrest of the highest throne was smashed to pieces and exploded into countless fragments that dissipated in mid-air.

"Green Lake Mountain!!!!!!"

The woman seated on the throne, her skin a purplish hue, showed a furious expression. Behind her, a ring of light purple metallic wheels slowly rotated, each wheel engraved with countless skulls, wild beasts, demons, and indecipherable, twisted shapes.

"This is outrageous!!"

Her eyes flickered with purple flames, her features became fierce, and a terrible and profound pressure emanated from her.
