Chapter 808: Chapter 803 All the World Alone Three

The entire Sacred Stream Residence was filled with just one person’s low laughter, Fang Yu’s.

"Dragon Queen."

He suddenly spoke.

"At your service!"

The Dragon Queen Yichen flew out, landing not far from Fang Yu, a hint of excitement on her face.

"Sha Yu."

"At your service!!"

A flash of black light, a man in black robes adorned with countless jeweled pendants appeared on the other side of Fang Yu.

"Leave it to you two."

Fang Yu withdrew his gaze, glancing over the two emperors.

"Compared to Brother Hong Tian, you two are far too lacking....."

With that, he strode towards the Gathering Spirit Hall.

None of the people blocking his path dared to get in his way.

They quickly made way for him.

The Dragon Queen Yichen and Sha Yu flashed respectively beside the two emperors. Shortly afterward, two terrified screams were heard.

The army stirred momentarily but soon fell silent again.

"The Taoist Ancestor’s Origin is truly wasted in the hands of these two useless beings."

The Dragon Queen Yichen sneered.

She tossed the Empress she had drained of blood onto the ground.

The Empress had already turned into a skeleton, her soul consumed, leaving nothing but bones.

On the other side, Sha Yu slowly withdrew his hand from the old emperor’s chest, shaking off the blood.

"The plan executed perfectly. Now, the true calamity begins....."

The two exchanged glances, their lips curling into a slight smile.

Fang Yu stepped into the Gathering Spirit Hall, followed by profound silence.

He had control over almost all the generals in the Sacred Stream Residence, except for a rare few.

Even the core of the Shadow City formation had been altered to allow his control.

If the Taoist Ancestor is absent, he’s the strongest Heavenly Venerable, without exception!

Sixteen thousand nine hundred years ago, he had silently surpassed the limits of a Heavenly Venerable. Even the Taoist Ancestor failed to notice his hidden strength.

His self-created supreme cultivation technique remained a mystery that only he could comprehend. If it weren’t for the continuous suppression by the Taoist Ancestor.....

The entire army waited in silence. Shortly, the entire Gathering Spirit Hall shook violently.

BOOM!!!

A seven-colored beam of light pierced through the roof, breaking the formation, like a sharp sword thrust into the dark sky.

BOOM!!!

In an instant, all the Shadow Demon generals were ecstatic, cheering.

"Victory!!!"

"Victory!!!!"

"Victory!!!!!!!"

Countless soldiers cheered simultaneously, a wave spreading from the inside out.

With a deafening boom.

A gigantic figure emerged from the Gathering Spirit Hall, breaking through the roof. The figure, thousands of meters tall and clad in the familiar Soul Hunting Armor, was none other than Fang Yu himself!

Amid flying debris, he straightened his body, looked up at the sky.

"Lord of the Dark, do you see it? Do you see it???!

Hahaha....."

He started to laugh, his voice growing louder and more resonant.

Eventually, it was like a stormy thunderclap, rumbling above the entire Sacred Stream Residence.

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

Divided Shadow City.

The largest force outside Shadow City in the Shadow Realm.

The Taoist Army, like a white flood, swiftly cleared all roaming creatures from around Divided Shadow City, heading straight for the four great Shadow Paths behind the Mysterious Realm.

The Shadow Path is the inevitable tunnel leading directly to Shadow City’s main hub.

The Shadow Realm wasn’t dominated solely by Shadow City.

Other forces, large and small, existed outside the Shadow Paths. Though none were as formidable as Shadow City, they had their territories and trump cards, enough to stand on their own.

For Lin Xin and his group wanting to reach Shadow City’s main hub without letting any cultivators escape, there was only one solution - divide the troops!

Before the Shadow Paths, three huge cylindrical tunnels floated parallel before the cultivators. Though they seemed close, a sizeable distance separated them.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Taoist Lord Rongzhu, and Lin Xin floated in mid-air, looking toward the three Shadow Paths.

"Dividing into three groups is an option, but the main hub of Shadow City is guarded by a Heavenly Venerable. If they escape...." the Taoist Lord Rongzhu said in a low voice.

"Eliminate the great evil, and why bother with trifles?" Guanyin Bodhisattva murmured.

"If you don’t uproot the weed, it will grow back." Lin Xin said coldly.

"Then we’ll each lead a group and block the three paths." The Taoist Lord Rongzhu suggested.

"Good."

"Agreed."

Guanyin and Lin Xin nodded in agreement.

"Then there’s no time to lose!"

Lin Xin wasted no words, immediately flying toward the left Shadow Path, followed by Yao YuanHui and a group of Green Lake Mountain cultivators.

The Taoist Lord Rongzhu led his followers towards the middle Shadow Path.

Guanyin shook his head slightly as he watched the two enter, then took the Buddhaland Arhat towards the last Shadow Path.

"Merciful Buddha...."

He chanted softly.

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

The long Shadow Path resembled the intestines of some enormous creature.

All around it was pitch black, with distant gurgles faintly audible.

Countless white Taoist soldiers formed formations, entering in an orderly fashion to clear a path.

Lin Xin and his cultivators moved slowly and steadily from behind.

Under the Spiritual Light, all the Taoist soldiers seemed lighter on their feet, speeding towards the front.

From time to time, the sounds of fighting and screams reached them from ahead.

It appeared the Taoist soldiers were slaying unknown creatures.

Two generals from Green Lake Mountain, Huang Sheng and Zhuge Bai, floated beside Lin Xin. Both were in the Fifth Rank, wielding Green Lake Command Tokens, each controlling fifty million Taoist soldiers.

The Taoist soldiers in the Shadow Path were like an ocean, boundless and infinite.

Every potential obstacle and threat was thoroughly overwhelmed.

After advancing for about four hours, suddenly a loud boom echoed from the front. It seemed something had exploded.

Fifth Rank Taoist soldiers floating ahead immediately moved out, converging and flying forward.

"What’s happening?"

Lin Xin, sitting cross-legged in mid-air and adjusting his state while comprehending sword techniques, was interrupted by the noise.

"Responding to the Divine Monarch, the Taoist soldiers have gone to investigate." Huang Sheng cautiously replied.

He had heard many rumors about this Sherie Divine Monarch. Though the rumors varied, they all shared a common theme: ruthlessness.

Sherie Divine Monarch was known as a forceful cultivator who resolved everything with violence.

Such cultivators never followed rules. Any offense, and they’d show no mercy, demanding extreme caution.

"Too slow." Lin Xin didn’t want to waste time.

He already had the combat power of a Heavenly Venerable.

And not just any ordinary Heavenly Venerable. Small matters like this should not hinder him.

How long would it take to reach Shadow City’s main hub at this pace?

Soon it was reported back from the front.

Spell methods were flying, and shortly, a crystal mirror appeared before the group, showing black-robed figures with candles floating behind them clashing with the Taoist army.

The black-robed figures were numerous, managing to temporarily hold back the Taoist soldiers.

They used various fire spells and flames.

"Fire God Cult members? How are they hiding in the Shadow Realm?" Zhuge Bai recognized them, surprised.

"Is this the third barrier?" Lin Xin said calmly.

"Perhaps not." Zhuge Bai responded quietly.

"Let’s wait...."

Lin Xin closed his eyes, continuing to comprehend sword techniques.

The Void Demon Spirits, due to the lack of souls, required a hundred demon spirits to form one attribute point, about ten threads fusing into one.

Even so, their vast numbers were overwhelming.

Earlier, he had absorbed thirty-three thousand attribute points from the four-pole demonic qi.

Lin Xin’s free attributes rose to thirty-four thousand points. While comprehending sword techniques, he quickly allocated points.

He invested all in Defense.

The power of the Sword of Rage, coupled with joy first and then fury, was sufficient for now. His body’s strength lagged, making him vulnerable to assassination.

Given his current enemies far surpassed those before, seventy thousand evasion points might deal with Earth Immortals but fell short against Heavenly Venerables.

Most Heavenly Venerables’ attacks included dozens of different Taoist Intents, Divine Skills, Karma Taoist Techniques, and other powerful spells that had to be endured.

"Earth Immortals rely on titles for strength, while Heavenly Venerables depend on Star Pattern Formations."

Lin Xin recalled his battles with various Heavenly Venerables.

They shared a commonality, not Primordial Spirit Holy Light, but Star Pattern Formations.

The significant difference between Heavenly Venerables and Earth Immortals lay in this.

Combined titles and star light fused Myriad Worlds Star Force, forming a new mystical talisman formation.

This was the Star Pattern Formation.

"Earlier, the Soul Sect’s Deputy Sect Master wielded a Galaxy Eradicator, covered in dense Star Pattern Formations. This is the core of Heavenly Venerables." Lin Xin pondered.

"Star Pattern Formations represented their understanding and the vast power accumulated from the natural law and cycle of their stars.

Their understanding and insights formed star patterns that influenced the natural cycle and power of their stars.

If a Heavenly Venerable’s understanding was comprehensive, their star’s cycle would be complete, nurturing powerful beings naturally.

If their rules were incomplete, it would create various special life forms, like energy life.

"Unfortunately, to break through as a Heavenly Venerable, I must first reach the Life Candle Realm." Lin Xin refocused.

He gained clarity on the foundation of Heavenly Venerables and allocated the attributes accordingly.

Thirty-four thousand points were added to Defense.

Originally, Defense was at eighty-seven thousand points; now, it reached a staggering one hundred and eleven thousand points.

BOOM!!

A blue fireball exploded ahead, engulfing many Taoist soldiers.

A beast-like roar erupted from the front.

"Kill!!"

"Life Candle?" The energy fluctuations were from a Life Candle Earth Immortal, accompanied by Karma Taoist Techniques.

Lin Xin’s gaze turned cold. With a whoosh, he vanished mid-air.

The disturbance didn’t seem to come from Shadow City but from another faction within the Shadow Realm.

Yet any force that dared obstruct the army was courting death!
