Chapter 815: Chapter 810: Provocation II

A sharp, eerie laughter rang out from afar. Following it was a cold, deep, almost emotionless male voice.

"Use all your power, come on.....kill me....!"

"For the survival of the Shadow Realm.....this is your last chance...."

"Arrogant!!!" The Dragon Queen Yichen roared, the terrifying fluctuation of power shook off Lin Xin’s force field. Ignoring all counsel, she soared into the sky, flashing like lightning towards the direction of the voice.

A sword-shaped Star Destroyer swiftly appeared in her other hand.

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

On a black shadow mountain, Quanling Wang Zhu sat quietly cross-legged at the peak.

He appeared to be a monstrosity with a deer’s head and a human body, no different from the ordinary Deer Clan.

But no one could have imagined that this man, born from the Deer Clan, was actually the second-ranked top-tier Heavenly Venerable in the entire Shadow City—Quanling Wang Zhu.

"Come on....kill me....for the survival of the Shadow Realm...."

A series of indistinct voices faintly drifted from afar.

Quanling Wang Zhu slowly opened his eyes.

"Sherie Divine Monarch.....one of the two top overlords, second only to the Taoist Ancestor of Green Lake Mountain?"

"I have to say, provoking all the powers of the Shadow Realm is the greatest mistake you’ve made."

How vast the Shadow Realm is, even Quanling Wang Zhu did not know.

He only knew that as vast as the Void is, so is the Shadow Realm.

Hidden within are numerous formidable forces, not just Shadow City alone. For instance, the strongest nearby tribal force, the Black-Eyed Clan.

Among them resides a terrifying ancient being, even Shadow City does not wish to provoke.

Though not as strong as the Taoist Ancestor, once truly offended, they could inflict unimaginable damage on both sides.

And such terrifying ancient beings, each with their final trump cards, are not few in the Shadow Realm. They are hidden entities, indifferent to worldly affairs.

"Foolish, to provoke all the mighty beings of the Shadow Realm, does he not know how to spell death?"

Quanling Wang Zhu had been worried about how to face Sherie Divine Monarch when he arrived, whether to fight or prepare to flee.

It seems now, this guy is nothing but a fool, an arrogant simpleton.

Hiss!!

From a distance, a powerful aura so immense that the very air for tens of thousands of miles around trembled, surged into the sky, flying towards Lin Xin.

Soon after, several more faint auras broke free from the depths of the earth and ocean, shooting towards the direction of the voice.

The auras were terrifyingly intense.

"Even Dark Scar King has made a move? Well, you sought death yourself, don’t blame me for adding insult to injury."

Thinking of this, Quanling Wang Zhu sneered, his cross-legged body rose into the air, abruptly turning into a black light, flying towards Lin Xin.

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

In a massive fissure abyss within the Shadow Realm.

A large greenish-gray hand, covered in wounds, fiercely extended out, gripping the rocky edge of the abyss.

A giant covered in countless human corpses climbed out of the abyss and stood up.

It seemed to be a colossal monster formed from countless human bodies piled together.

The pale corpses were naked, outlining his muscles, forming a massive body over a hundred meters tall.

"I, Gru the Thousand Corpse Giant! Will grant you your final death!!!"

It roared furiously, taking giant steps, sprinting madly towards the direction of Lin Xin’s voice.

Each of its steps caused the surrounding ground to crack and sink deeply.

Every footprint left behind emitted green toxic mist that quickly spread.

This was the Thousand Corpse Giant’s unique Soul Devouring Insect Poison, capable of parasitizing and poisoning all living things, turning them into puppets under its control.

The Thousand Corpse Giant, also called the Puppet Corpse King, was a most wanted criminal of Green Lake Mountain, having destroyed several large worlds, even killing numerous Heavenly Venerable incarnations.

No one could have thought that it had been hiding in the depths of the Shadow Realm’s abyss all along.

In terms of combat power, it had once withstood the bombardment of three Heavenly Venerable incarnations of Star Destroyers, only escaping heavily injured.

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

Elsewhere, a kilometer-tall giant shadow floated in midair, rapidly flying towards Lin Xin.

Beneath it was an endless black ocean.

This was the Shadow Sea, devoid of seawater, filled with thick shadows, the reflections of countless things in the Void gathered together.

"Sherie Divine Monarch of Green Lake Mountain....such arrogance, even the Second Demon God King back then didn’t dare to be so presumptuous!"

The Shadow Giant murmured in a deep voice.

He was the Dark Scar King, one of the oldest beings in the Shadow Realm, who had once fought the Second Demon God King and survived.

He even belonged to the same generation as the Taoist Ancestors of Green Lake Mountain.

"Let me teach Green Lake Mountain an unforgettable lesson."

He brought his arms together, then slowly separated them.

Instantly, a slim, rotating Red Spear appeared in his palms.

The spear had a huge golden dragon eye that kept turning, watching everything around.

"The Spear of the Lost, once the most powerful artifact possessed by the Evil God Kings, will show those in Green Lake Mountain that I am still alive, and living well!"

The Dark Scar King’s massive black body surged with intense emotion.

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

Six million miles from the main part of Shadow City.

Yingquan Plain.

Lin Xin flew forward slowly, the faint red space mixed with Sword Intent disintegrated and pulverized everything within a kilometer radius.

However, compared to before, his speed was incredibly slow, almost no faster than the Escape Light of ordinary Golden Core Cultivators.

He could feel multiple incredibly powerful fluctuations rapidly approaching him.

The strongest four of them were not much different from the strongest Heavenly Venerables he had encountered before.

"Two of them don’t have the aura of Shadow City...."

"But it doesn’t matter."

Lin Xin glanced at his Free Attribute Points.

After all the killing, the Free Attribute Points had again accumulated in heaps.

’2,339,844 points’

"Add them all to Defense."

Casually deciding on the usage of the two million-plus points, Lin Xin felt he had grown to an extreme level of strength.

No opponent had pushed him to use the third Sword of Rage, let alone the always hidden Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads.

It was known that the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads had become his Lifebound Magic Artifact, growing stronger with each increase in attributes.

With such a terrifying increment of attribute points, the power of the Earthfire Nine Spirit Beads also continued to amplify.

However, due to their already immensely strong base power, they hadn’t yet triggered a secondary qualitative change.

The attribute points poured into the Defensive Attribute, sending waves of immense warm currents through his body.

Lin Xin felt his body starting to grow again.

From his previous height, he gradually grew to over six meters....

Hiss!

Two lumps of flesh on his back abruptly split open, and from them, two slender, white arms slowly extended, hanging by his sides.

"What is this....?"

Before Lin Xin could react, he felt two more lumps forming on his back, seemingly nurturing a third pair of arms.

A sweep of Spiritual Light within his body quickly revealed the reason for the growing arms.

"Apart from purifying my bloodline, my body also contained many ancient, chaotic bloodlines, which were all activated by the attribute enhancement...."

Before he could further investigate.

The sky in front suddenly darkened.

A kilometer-tall shadow giant descended from the clouds, floating in front of him.

At the same time, a tangible gaze fell on Lin Xin, momentarily suppressing the surging Sword Intent around him.

"Dark Scar King, you actually arrived first."

A huge figure was rapidly approaching from the ground on Lin Xin’s left.

The repulsive form of the Thousand Corpse Giant entered the line of sight.

He too distorted time and space around him, releasing the aura of a top-tier Heavenly Venerable.

"Perhaps it’s because they heard someone claim to destroy the entire Shadow Realm. Even Dark Scar King was alarmed."

From the right, Quanling Wang Zhu, with a deer’s head and a human body, coldly approached, flying slowly.

He stood on a dark golden triangular cone, pushing away all other force fields, forming an area of golden light.

To those unaware of his identity, they might think a Bodhisattva from the Buddha Domain had descended.

"Destroy the Shadow Realm? Laughable!"

The fourth presence appeared behind Lin Xin.

A mermaid giant with a human head and fish body.

Surrounded by three burning red rings, like three suns, scorching the ground below them.

"In all my years, this is the first time I’ve heard such presumptuous words."

Dark Scar King rumbled.

Five top-tier beings, their auras converged into a palpable pressure, driving away all weaker creatures.

Even the exceedingly stable space of the Shadow Realm began to crack, revealing the dark red viscous abyssal space beneath.

"I hear this lad is the most vital Great Saint of the Heavenly Alliance." The mermaid giantess laughed, "Shall we capture him and trade with Green Lake Mountain of the Heavenly Alliance for treasures and resources?"

"Without the Taoist Ancestor, Green Lake Mountain only has a few peers like us at most. Nothing to fear. At a time like this, instead of hiding, he dares challenge the entire Shadow Realm - foolish beyond measure."

The Thousand Corpse Giant licked his lips, eyeing Lin Xin greedily.

"First let me say, I want his body."

"I sensed a powerful artifact on him, that’s mine."

Dark Scar King said flatly.

"I want the artifact! Dark Scar King, this isn’t your Shadow Valley." The mermaid giantess was displeased.

"This guy is also said to be the current Divine Wind Sword Master of Green Lake Mountain, the Supreme Elder’s Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword technique, I want that. Any objections to me doing a Soul Search?"

Quanling Wang Zhu interjected.

Dark Scar King and the others fell silent.

"I have a karmic Taoist artifact, without which no one can trap his soul. I want a copy of the Jiuyue Divine Wind Sword technique too."

"This singular Taoist Art can exist only once in the world. It cannot be duplicated." Quanling Wang Zhu shook his head.

"Our Saint Master is about to emerge. By then...."

Mentioning the Saint Master silenced them.
