Chapter 789: Chapter 784: Rampage II

Such an unparalleled genius like Lin Xin, with such a great difference in cultivation, once his avatar is killed by the Star Extermination Device, his soul would not be able to withstand the damage and would likely collapse and perish instantly.

The thought of such a genius falling at his hands saddened the man greatly.

The man gently waved his hands forward.

The black scythe instantly sent out two twisted fluctuations.

The fluctuations split the remnants of the explosions ahead, roaring into two transparent dragons that charged towards the center of the explosion.

On the bodies of the dragons, vague images of mountains, rivers, lakes, and oceans appeared.

"What a pity....." The man lowered his gigantic scythe and sighed.

"What a pity..."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice echoed from ahead.

The man’s face changed drastically as he forcefully shifted to the left.

Boom!!!

A blinding red light flashed past his original position.

His waist, as if vaporized, instantly lost a large chunk of flesh.

Enduring the immense pain, the man turned his head fiercely. His pupils contracted tightly.

"You!!!? How is this possible!!?"

Lin Xin knelt on one knee, crouching in the ruins a hundred meters behind him.

His entire body was emitting white smoke, with fist-sized holes all over his left side and his right side’s skin completely gone, revealing crimson muscles and veins.

Most terrifying was his head.

His entire head, from top to bottom, was split open like a chopped stump, with a large fissure running from his skull to his nose bridge.

This horrific fissure created a triangular gap as wide as a palm in Lin Xin’s head.

One could clearly see the wriggling white brain tissue inside.

"I’m not dead.... Quite disappointing for you, Deputy Sect Master Jiaoning...."

Lin Xin’s voice, damaged by his torn vocal cords, sounded eerie.

Up to this point, if he still couldn’t recognize the identity of the person before him, then all the intelligence gathered from Green Lake Mountain would have been in vain.

Jiaoning, the most powerful Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Sect, Hall Master of the Heavenly Soul Hall, a top monster who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

"It seems that the Soul Sect has truly rebelled completely."

Lin Xin hadn’t been pushed this far for a long time.

Unfortunately, now, everything was over.

He hadn’t died, so now it was the other party’s turn to die.

The Joyous Sword had absorbed a tenth of the power of the previous strike, plus the power accumulated earlier, and now even its strengthened blade seemed unable to hold.

"Over!?" A gleam of fierceness flashed in Jiaoning’s eyes. In his long life, he had witnessed the terror of the Divine Wind Sword many times.

"No, this is just the beginning!!"

Swish!!

A pure red sword light, as pristine as jade, suddenly split him from the top of his head down, cutting him into two halves with a single stroke.

The sword light met no resistance and continued downward, cutting open the ground.

Ssh....

A red line suddenly lit up from the middle of the Soul Sect island.

The red line extended from the ocean and rapidly stretched into the horizon, disappearing from sight in an instant.

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

In the dark void.

The entire crimson Misleading Spirit Realm, on the left half of the sphere, split with a dazzling red line.

A slim, pure red sword light shot out rapidly, slicing apart the floating planes in its path.

It slowly faded away after a while.

Near the Sun Soul Mountain boundary, a few flying ships inadvertently blocking the sword light’s path were split into two halves, exploding instantly.

After a pause, the Sun Soul Mountain quickly dispatched fleets of flying battleships, rushing towards the main sect in the Misleading Spirit Realm.

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

Lin Xin held the Joyous Sword, its blade now completely translucent, with a ruby-like hue, and flowing with burning red flames.

"It’s far from over...."

Jiaoning stood before him, his body split in two, eyes wide open. He took two steps forward.

Boom!

He fell to the ground and exploded into countless black gas, dissipating.

A large wave of warmth surged into Lin Xin’s body, which he immediately allocated to his physical attributes.

Glancing at the free attribute points that poured in, he saw over 200,000 of them!

Combined with the previously unused points, he now had over 350,000 free attribute points.

Without hesitation, Lin Xin allocated them all to his physical attributes.

Starting from 75,000 points, his physical stats skyrocketed like a rocket.

As his physical stats soared, Lin Xin’s injuries began to rapidly heal.

Pfft!!

Suddenly, a gray escape light shot up in the distance, flying away.

In the sky, a space gate appeared out of nowhere, with the escape light rushing towards it.

"Trying to run?"

A mocking sneer appeared on Lin Xin’s blood-streaked face.

He swung the Joyous Sword forward.

The blade instantly vanished into the air.

The space gate split in two in the blink of an eye, exploding into a green fireball.

The escape light, clearly startled, hesitated and then turned to fly elsewhere.

Lin Xin took a step forward and appeared before the escape light in an instant.

The sword light flashed.

Swish!

Ah!!

A young Confucian Scholar within the escape light screamed in agony, clutching his right arm.

His face changed drastically, and he reached for Lin Yaoyang beside him, but his hand grasped nothing.

Upon closer look, Lin Yaoyang was already floating beside Lin Xin, eyes closed.

"You!!"

Finally, he experienced the desperation of cultivators once forced into a corner by the Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword.

Even Jiaoning wasn’t a match for him, so he certainly had no chance.

If it were any other opponent, it might be fine, but dealing with the Divine Wind Sword, capable of harming even the spirit like the Star Extermination Device, losing an avatar meant not just the loss of some Star Force but also thousands of years of hard-earned cultivation.

"Wait! If you don’t kill me, I can provide you with all the intelligence on Shadow City’s Heavenly Demon Army Master!!"

Lin Xin held Lin Yaoyang, scanned his body, and seeing no hidden tricks, breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s not enough to stop me from killing you."

He looked towards Venerable Shoru, who had long betrayed the Soul Sect and set him up, almost trapping him.

If he hadn’t been on guard and if Jiaoning, disguised as the Nine Nether Venerable, had ambushed him, this might have ended badly for him.

"My brother is Fang Yu! Killing me will do you no good; he’ll avenge me!!"

Venerable Shoru pleaded urgently.

"Fang Yu?"

Lin Xin’s eyes narrowed.

The sword light jumped, silently cutting Venerable Shoru from head to toe into two halves.

"No....!"

Venerable Shoru turned into a puddle of slime, sinking into the ground and disappearing as if absorbed by the void.

After killing him, another wave of attribute points surged into Lin Xin’s body.

Cradling Lin Yaoyang, Lin Xin took a final look at the bisected headquarters of the Soul Sect island below.

Countless cultivators were scattered, escaping and flying away.

His battle with Jiaoning had affected many cultivators on the island, causing buildings to collapse, and injuring those who intended to aid him, the shockwaves leaving many wounded.

The Taoist Ancestors did not appear, and many Soul Sect members had already relocated to another headquarters in the void, leaving this place an empty shell.

Only Jiaoning had remained here, never expecting Lin Xin to break through the facade and kill even his avatar.

Suspended mid-air, Lin Xin felt the power of the Joyous Sword slowly fade.

He quickly flew up with Lin Yaoyang.

In a few moments, they left the Bewildering Spirit Realm, where the Soul Sect’s warships had already surrounded the outer void, forming a defensive perimeter.

Lin Xin revealed his Heavenly Alliance identity Jade Talisman, and the warships, not yet informed of the situation below, were in a bit of chaos.

The fleet’s General inspected the Jade Talisman for authenticity and attempted to discuss the situation with Lin Xin.

Lin Xin refused bluntly, immediately sending a message to the Green Lake Mountain headquarters through the Jade Talisman, documenting the entire incident.

He then waited for a response.

To his surprise, just as he prepared to leave, the Chanting Star Cult’s Protective Army caught up and arrived.

Alongside them came various divine military corps from Green Lake Mountain, quickly taking control of the Soul Sect situation.

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

"Hahaha!!!!"

The Lord of Clouds, Bai Yun Whale Emperor, laughed heartily, slapping Lin Xin on the shoulder.

"I knew you’d be fine! Right, right!! You can’t kill a true Saint Heir that easily!"

Lin Xin looked helpless as the white-skinned giant man slapped his back vigorously.

The whole warship shook with each slap, the black furniture bouncing up and down under the force, causing Lin Xin’s face to twitch slightly.

"From today, you’re my good brother!!" Bai Yun Whale Emperor, always straightforward, especially after a fierce battle with the Combat Heavenly Venerable of Green Lake Mountain, was said to have been knocked senseless by the Combat Heavenly Venerable and hadn’t fully recovered.

"Lord of Clouds...."

Lin Xin freed himself from the embrace, speechless.

"Could you please think of a way to wake my sister up first?"

He wasn’t skilled in medicine, only capable of using Elemental Energy to regulate the body, but having examined Lin Yaoyang thoroughly, he couldn’t determine the problem keeping her unconscious.

In the warship, a group of Chanting Star Cult white-armored cultivators stood behind the Lord of Clouds, numbering around thirty, all expressionless with cold, indifferent eyes.

Clearly elite warriors of countless battles.

This group was the Protective Army sent by the Chanting Star Cult to serve the First Saint Heir.

Their presence was unnoticed, just like ordinary people, and Lin Xin couldn’t gauge their true strength. The Lord of Clouds also said he wasn’t sure.

Upon hearing Lin Xin’s request,

the leading member of the Protective Army stepped forward.

"Saint Heir, Miss Yaoyang’s condition resembles the effects of the Fragrant Residence Soul Extinguishing Pill, famously used by Shadow City. She must have been poisoned."

This man, handsome and valiant with a white emblem on his forehead, which pulsed rhythmically.
