Chapter 832: Chapter 827: The Mad Demon 1

The Universal Heavenly Venerable is the Acting Sect Master, representing the six ministers, that is, the six Taoist Ancestors!

The Jiu Se Divine Lord openly defying orders in front of so many people immediately made all the Heavenly Venerables present smell a whiff of unusual aura.

"I said it." The Jiu Se Divine Lord slowly stood up. "I refuse."

Without even looking at the Universal Heavenly Venerable, his eyes, clearly smiling and peaceful, carried a hidden arrogance that disregarded everything.

After speaking, he actually turned around and left directly, not looking at anyone present.

The Universal Heavenly Venerable gritted his silver teeth in anger, silver flames faintly burning and exploding around him, a manifestation of his fury.

"Jiu Se Divine Lord, please stay!"

Lin Xin suddenly spoke up, stopping the departing Jiu Se Divine Lord.

Jiu Se paused slightly, turning his head to look at Lin Xin.

"Sherie Divine Lord, what is your advice?"

Lin Xin stared at him for a while.

"Is the Jiu Se Divine Lord aware of some inside information? Feel free to share it with the Heavenly Venerables. Perhaps with collective wisdom, we can better overcome the great catastrophe?"

The Sword Hall has helped him greatly, and the Taoist Ancestors seemingly have not let him down.

Over the years, he gradually developed a sense of belonging to Green Lake Mountain.

Seeing Jiu Se’s arrogance now, he felt somewhat displeased.

He took the most resources from Green Lake Mountain, even receiving the Abyssal Realm Artifact. At this crucial moment, he completely refused to cooperate.

This was excessive.

"Inside information?" The Jiu Se Divine Lord smiled. "Knowing too much is not good for you. Let’s talk about it when you manage to survive."

He finished speaking and no longer paid any attention to Lin Xin, turning and leaving.

All the Heavenly Venerables watched as he disappeared into the crystal stone in the blink of an eye.

All feeling frustrated and angry in their hearts.

The Taoist Ancestors had repeatedly emphasized the need to fully support the Jiu Se Divine Lord, but now...he’s practically a white-eyed wolf!

Green Lake Mountain discovered him initially and step by step nurtured him to his current level.

And now he turns hostile at the critical moment!

Lin Xin’s face darkened slightly, quietly playing with a small black walnut-like round ball in his hand. Silent.

The round ball was the world essence given to him by the Prison King earlier, which he had yet to absorb.

"Survive?? Hehehe..." A trace of sarcasm emerged from the corner of his mouth.

"Really thinks he’s the reincarnation of the Buddha Ancestor?" He had heard the rumor but did not believe it.

Even if he were the reincarnation of the Buddha Ancestor, so what? It was just past glory.

"Sherie, don’t act impulsively!" The Dragon Snake Honored Master’s divine sense conveyed over. "The Jiu Se Divine Lord is immensely powerful. Even seekers of the Dao dare not face him directly. You must endure!"

Worry was evident in his tone.

The Universal Heavenly Venerable also felt a great admiration for Lin Xin speaking out righteously at this moment.

The Jiu Se Divine Lord had previously shown similarly arrogant behavior but now made him lose face greatly.

"Since the Jiu Se Divine Lord is unwilling, then...Sherie Divine Lord, could you delay this matter for a while?"

The Universal Heavenly Venerable thought for a moment before speaking.

He had roughly assessed the Sherie Divine Lord’s strength. Though lacking the Abyssal Realm Artifact, he couldn’t easily destroy a realm. However, his inherent strength was terrifyingly high, capable of penetrating Shadow City, killing several incarnations of Heavenly Venerables, even defeating the Constellation-Level Fang Yu.

Moreover, with his forces under command, resistance in the Central War Zone for a short period was possible.

"I will fully mobilize all resources from the treasury to support you, and additionally strengthen the grand formation, requiring fifteen Heavenly Venerables, and can also ask for help from four more Heavenly Venerables."

The Universal Heavenly Venerable continued.

Lin Xin pondered for a moment.

Actually, as long as seekers of the Dao don’t appear, incarnations of Heavenly Venerables below standard Constellation-Level pose no issue for him.

The Central War Zone, populated by the troublesome Constellation-Level Spirit Asura Kings, was difficult for others.

For him, as long as they aren’t as monstrous as Fang Yu, it’s manageable.

Coincidentally, he also intended to extract world essence from the battlefield of the Central War Zone.

World essence could be found within the world or extracted from Origin Earth Realm cultivators. Generally, cultivators need only a little to breakthrough, making it scarce.

Extracting from surrounding cultivators would be unprincipled, inciting public outrage.

But extracting from Spirit Asura Kings would go unnoticed.

"Agreed."

Having thought through, Lin Xin responded directly to the Universal Heavenly Venerable’s request.

"However, I expect sufficient world essence."

Completing a task naturally comes with rewards, so he unhesitantly stated his condition.

"Agreed!"

The Universal Heavenly Venerable managed the vast resource treasury of Green Lake Mountain for countless years, obviously wealthy.

"How much essence do you need?"

He asked privately through divine sense.

"As much as possible!"

Lin Xin firmly replied.

"The sect’s treasury has three hundred sixty-seven clusters, one large world essence, one hundred one medium-sized, and the rest small-sized." The Universal Heavenly Venerable listed the resources in detail.

"Give them all to me, and I will ensure the resistance in the Central War Zone against the Void Demon Spirit!"

Lin Xin’s eyes widened.

Absorbing a cluster of essence had raised his attributes to over three million, reaching his soul limit.

Now, with so much essence available, it was simply...extravagant to the extreme!!

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

Outside Green Lake Mountain, in the black void.

A giant creature with a human upper body and a black dragon lower body pulled a golden chariot forward with its shoulders. Surrounding the chariot, auspicious lights emanated, with golden lotuses faintly appearing.

The Jiu Se Divine Lord sat in the chariot, quietly resting with closed eyes.

Opposite him sat a peculiar woman in a meditative position.

This woman’s head was actually a large yellow pineapple, draped in a white gold-embroidered robe.

"The Evil God Kings haven’t decided yet?"

The Jiu Se Divine Lord spoke slowly.

"Forgive me, your request was too much...the other Kings hope to further consider..." The woman replied low and respectfully.

"My patience is limited." The Jiu Se Divine Lord said leisurely. "The great catastrophe is imminent, and my agreement with Tian Yin Dragon King is approaching. Beyond the agreement, I will not allow any instability to affect my victory."

"Understood!"

The pineapple-headed woman shivered all over, quickly bowing.

"You may go." Jiu Se waved his hand, disinclined to say more.

"Yes."

The pineapple-headed woman hastily disappeared, thankful.

The Jiu Se Divine Lord picked up a white jade grape before him, gently placing it into his mouth.

Boom!!

Suddenly, in the distant void, countless warships interwoven in red, gold, and silver slowly took flight, numbering at least several thousand, racing towards the distance.

On the top of the largest leading warship, a massive character "You" could be faintly seen inscribed.

"You?"

The Jiu Se Divine Lord smiled playfully.

"Should be the Sherie Divine Lord personally leading the troops to the Central War Zone to take over the battle, allowing the other Heavenly Venerables to arrange the formation."

A pure and benevolent white figure slowly appeared before the Jiu Se Divine Lord.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, do you know the background of the Sherie Divine Lord?"

Jiu Se casually asked.

"Unknown, but in the Shadow Realm, his displayed strength had reached the Dao seeking level." Guanyin shook his head slightly.

"Dao seeking level huh....." Jiu Se smiled, not saying more.

Both fell into silence.

After a long while, Jiu Se suddenly spoke again.

"Prepare yourself, there’s only three days left."

"So soon!"

Guanyin was shocked.

He came to inquire about the exact timing of the great catastrophe from the Jiu Se. He guessed it would be soon but did not expect it to be this soon!

"Soon?" Jiu Se closed his eyes, deep in thought.

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

Amidst the encircling fleet of warships, the battleship carrying Lin Xin accelerated towards the Central War Zone.

Ahead was a massive oval-shaped Stargate, guarded by two colossal merfolk over ten thousand meters tall, slowly unsealing the Stargate.

Lin Xin stood in the bridge of the flagship, gazing at the Stargate as its darkness gradually lit up with dots of blue light.

"This time, we’ll rely on the cooperation of three Heavenly Venerables."

Behind him stood three figures: White Dragon Heavenly Venerable, Venerable Xiushan, and Venerable Daohua.

Lin Xin declined Dragon Snake and Jiuqu Immortal Elder’s offer to join him. Additionally, another idle Heavenly Venerable was turned down for lack of power.

This frontline venture was extremely dangerous. He did not want his teachers to take risks. The best aid should be Heavenly Venerables with the most abundant Star Force, ensuring many incarnations and higher safety.

These three were the ones with the most abundant Star Force among Heavenly Venerables.

The White Dragon Heavenly Venerable had a snake-like white dragon wrapped around him, a face full of white whiskers, and eyes like copper bells.

"It’s a pity we haven’t connected with the Taoist Lord of Fusion. Such a grand occasion, he would surely not miss. Pity...."

"The Taoist Lord of Fusion is still missing. Could it be...?"

Venerable Xiushan frowned.

"Definitely not. With the Taoist Lord of Fusion’s cultivation, who could silently capture him and two other Heavenly Venerables in the Shadow Realm?"

Venerable Daohua shook his head.

The three followed Lin Xin, being battle enthusiasts. Unable to advance further due to limited talent, they focused more on honing combat skills due to their abundant Star Force.

Joining the army to face the entire Void War Zone allowed them to witness the strategies of the Sherie Divine Lord, rumored to rival the Jiu Se Divine Lord.

Buzz!!

Instantly, the warship surged into the Stargate, gliding swiftly through the darkness.

Moments later, the interior tunnel began to glow with rainbow-like lights.

Lin Xin turned away from the crew operating the flagship, moving to the center of the bridge, waving his hand.

With a swish, a square blue screen appeared before him.

The screen spread out, displaying numerous hill-like contours.

This was a war simulation spell method.

"So this is the model of the entire Central War Zone?"

Lin Xin scrutinized the blue sand table, observing the spindle-shaped model.

"Indeed, this is our allied territory." White Dragon Heavenly Venerable confirmed. "The battlefield stretches extensively, with many areas becoming dead zones due to Heavenly Venerable level battles."
