Chapter 814: Chapter 809 Provocation I

Huiyang keenly sensed this, and her heart raced, frightened enough to quickly respond.

"I... I can also refine artifacts!!"

Artifact refining?

Lin Xin only noticed then that despite the extreme speed from earlier, Huiyang of the Nine-headed Bird Clan had coughed up blood, but her clothes remained undamaged.

This was somewhat miraculous.

"Our Nine-headed Bird Clan has the innate spiritual light to nurture magic artifacts and talismans, ensuring the artifacts we guard and maintain remain undamaged for ten thousand years.

Moreover, as the king of the Nine-headed Bird Clan, I have refined many realm artifacts!!"

This made Lin Xin truly astonished.

Realm artifacts... these are not something any artifact master would dare to handle. Their materials are the world’s essence.

Although most are naturally nurtured by the world, many worlds lack the qualification to produce realm artifacts and can only produce the world’s essence embryo. At this time, it requires artifact masters to refine it.

This ability is extremely useful for any faction.

Lin Xin then set aside the idea of consuming her to gain attributes.

"If I give you the world’s essence from a world that hasn’t produced a realm artifact, can you refine a realm artifact?" He suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Uh... Maybe..." Huiyang of the Nine-headed Bird Clan hesitated, as she had never tried this approach.

"Forget it."

The ability to refine realm artifacts was already excellent. The known individuals who could refine realm artifacts at Green Lake Mountain did not exceed two.

All are absolute strategic master figures.

"Take your clan members, move out of the Shadow Realm, and head here." He directly gave Huiyang of the Nine-headed Bird Clan an address. It was the void address of the Nether Realm presently.

"Uh...." Huiyang wanted to say something but had to close her mouth slightly, knowing she couldn’t keep up with Lin Xin’s speed.

After thinking, she took out a transparent crystal the size of a pebble and handed it to Lin Xin.

"Master, this contains the complete information and intelligence I have gathered on Shadow City, including its organizational structure, strength distribution, and details about Fang Yu."

Fang Yu?

Upon hearing this name, Lin Xin’s eyes flickered.

He took the crystal.

Briefly, the intelligence on notable opponents within Shadow City flashed inside.

Fang Yu.

The Ethereal Dragon Queen, the All-Spirit Deer King of the six Wang Zhu, the Jiu Se assassin king of the Cocoon.

These four are currently the strongest in Shadow City; the rest have already been killed and dealt with by Fang Yu himself.

"Next, you will face the residence of the All-Spirit Deer King of the six Wang Zhu." Huiyang said softly. "Please be careful; the All-Spirit Deer King has the most troublesome innate divine skill of the entire Shadow City, similar to my time-related divine skill."

Huiyang gave a solemn reminder, having betrayed her previous master, she would be more thorough in selling out.

"Take my mark and find the subsequent Heavenly Alliance Army." Lin Xin agreed and said indifferently.

"Then, farewell, Master."

Huiyang could only stop in place.

Lin Xin nodded, his figure suddenly exploding, disappearing from the spot.

With Huiyang’s eyesight, she couldn’t even see how he left.

Sigh....

She sighed deeply, raising her hand to see a white mark she didn’t know when appeared on the back of her hand, engraved with some kind of character language of a ’You’.

"I don’t know if it’s right or wrong, but for our clan, I have no choice."

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

Boom!

Lin Xin’s Joyful Sword accurately landed on the head of the giant hedgehog monster opposite, directly breaking its unicorn horn.

The broken horn flew out, piercing through space, disappearing to an unknown place.

The remaining sword blade and sword intent split the entire giant monster in half, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Star Destroyer!" A roar accompanied this.

Immediately, more than ten mountain shadows emerged around Lin Xin, pressing heavily on him.

The mountain shadows rotated continuously, each spanning a hundred meters and weighing at least two stars.

All the light gray mountain shadows surrounded Lin Xin, almost obscuring his figure entirely.

At this point, the forces of the Shadow Realm dared not underestimate him and gambled everything in their efforts.

This current opponent summoned dozens of incarnations for an all-out attack.

Hiss....

All the mountain shadows slowly cracked.

Boom!!

A circle of black ripples exploded directly in the sky of the Shadow Realm, spreading over tens of thousands of miles, obliterating all the mountain shadows.

Lin Xin, with long hair draped over shoulders, appeared in the blast center wholly unscathed, holding the Joyful Sword.

Below him lay a sea of corpses and blood from the Corpse Ghost Clan.

This is one of the largest clans in the Shadow Realm, but unfortunately, their gathering place blocked the advance of the Heavenly Alliance Army.

The Corpse Ghost King was a dragon-horned monster covered in black thorns, resembling a giant hedgehog.

Upon meeting, it unleashed all its ambush incarnations, together offering the Star Destroyer.

Attempting to eliminate Lin Xin.

But regrettably, it failed...

Ha..... Ha... Ha...

The Corpse Ghost King gasped heavily.

Covered in blood, gazing at Lin Xin untouched in the sky, despairing completely.

"Even the Star Destroyer had no effect...?"

Its voice was bitter, watching Lin Xin step towards it.

The eerie longsword in Lin Xin’s hand continued to emit wild laughter.

"Sherie Divine Monarch, you cannot kill me. My stars hang high in the Star Domain; even if you kill me now, it will only destroy some incarnations.

Why not shake hands and make peace? Earlier, my Corpse Ghost Clan was reckless, attacking you rashly. Now, we’re willing to surrender and pledge allegiance to you!"

The Corpse Ghost King sent a transmission, knowing that although Shadow City was its superior, it did not mean it must perish with it, sacrificing numerous incarnations.

"Shake hands and make peace?"

Boring....

How incredibly boring....

A mere meal, wanting to shake hands and make peace?

A strange and peculiar thought crossed Lin Xin’s mind.

His mouth split into a cold, eerie smile.

Whoosh!

His right hand disappeared for an instant.

A ball of pale red sword light bursting like fireworks, flying out of his hand. Then like meteors, it fell upon the Corpse Ghost Clan.

"No!!!"

The already heavily injured Corpse Ghost King roared, managing only to block one sword light before its body disintegrated.

Countless smaller hedgehog-like Corpse Ghosts behind it also became targets of the sword light’s downpour.

Screams, explosions, flesh being ripped apart, creating crisp, sharp noises.

Mixed with the last despair and fear of the Corpse Ghosts, soaring to engulf the entire gray-black plain.

Numerous souls turned into transparent threads, swiftly linking to Lin Xin.

"Joy... Anger... Next is sorrow...."

Suspended high in the air, Lin Xin sensed increasingly powerful terrifying waves from a distance ahead.

"Fang Yu....."

He tightly gripped the Joyful Sword, stabilizing the newly absorbed power of the Corpse Ghost Clan.

The most potent ability unleashed by the entire Corpse Ghost Clan at the moment of death, with one tenth absorbed by the Joyful Sword, stored within.

"No.... I shouldn’t end the battle so quickly."

Lin Xin felt he was wasting food.

"I should continually torment, force them, making them explode in the last brilliant moments like fireworks.

In that way, the power I absorb would be stronger, right?"

He believed he had found a brilliant idea.

"Yes, let’s do that."

Confirming his thought.

Lin Xin explosively released all his aura.

An invisible force field expanded rapidly from his center across the Shadow Realm.

Ten miles, hundred miles, thousand miles, ten thousand miles, hundred thousand miles, million miles!!!

A radius of millions of miles could clearly sense the oppressive force of his aura.

Countless Shadow Realm creatures were forced low, fearing towards the source of the force field.

Scattered tribes and clans knelt, tiny blood threads seeping from their skin, completely unaware of what was happening.

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

In a series of connected checkpoints three million miles ahead.

The Ethereal Dragon Queen led several subordinates slowly descending onto the checkpoint walls. The Feini Clan chief within the checkpoint greeted them.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, a twisted, indescribable, infinitely murderous force field spread intensely from afar.

Covered the entire checkpoint before the crowd could react.

Wind fiercely blew, swirling around the Ethereal Dragon Queen and others, their robes flapping.

"What’s happening!!?"

"It’s those Heavenly Alliance scum!!" The Ethereal Dragon Queen shrieked, space around her also twisted, blocking the force field.

"Dare to threaten me!!!"

Previously an avatar of rage, now more frenzied, her eyes gradually turning blood-red.

The remaining experts quickly utilized force fields to resist the oppression.

"Calm down, Dragon Queen! The Heavenly Alliance Army is pressing in, we must plan strategically!" The Feini Clan chief urgently said.

"For the Saint Master’s plan! Dragon Queen, calm down!!"

Several subordinates quickly spoke out.

"Damn! Damn, damn, damn!!!!!!" The Dragon Queen’s space-time were distorting furiously, she almost couldn’t hold back.

Born from the Abyss, her true essence far in the Abyss, even death here would only lose one incarnation. Thus, she feared none but Fang Yu.

But now, another person dares challenge her!!

She’s the Ethereal Dragon Queen, the immortal King of Dragons!! The King’s dignity cannot be challenged!!

"I will kill him!!!"

The Dragon Queen’s body rapidly changed, morphing from a gray-robed old woman to a bizarre form over two meters tall, with three black dragon heads.

A crude, ancient, silver rune-marked morningstar was gripped in her hand.

At this moment, sensing the resistance here, the force field doubled, heavily pressing on the rising Ethereal Dragon Queen.

Crashing her back to the checkpoint.
