Chapter 849: Chapter 844 Emergency II

For a moment, the entire great hall was filled with the sound of raucous chatter.

The few Heavenly Venerable beings who had come to seek refuge were all feeling fortunate. If they hadn’t recalled their avatars in time, wouldn’t they have ended up in the same predicament as the Dragon Snake Heavenly Venerable?

"Are these words true?" Lin Xin asked somberly.

"If there’s any falsehood, Divine Monarch may punish me for betrayal!"

The Cage King spoke decisively.

"Sherie..." Lin Yaoyang started to say something.

But Lin Xin raised his hand, signaling for her to say no more.

"From the depletion reported by the grand formation, the power of this karmic chaotic energy is indeed terrifying. It’s akin to each square spiritual mile being subjected to the full force attack of a Heavenly Venerable. This is even after the first wave of impact has already been weakened."

The moment he spoke, everyone present fell silent.

"In that case, I plan to personally attempt to contact this so-called karmic chaotic energy. We will decide our next steps afterward."

Lin Xin said in a low voice.

He could not stand by and watch as his Honored Master fell into a fatal crisis.

"The Divine Monarch speaks wisely. Our research institute has already begun studying the structure of the chaotic energy, but for now, we still..."

An embarrassed expression appeared on the face of a cultivator at the side.

With many cultivators gathered at Green Lake Mountain, Lin Xin simply gathered those originally responsible for research and formed several departments.

The research institute was one of them.

"The Netherworld has Daoist soldiers supporting it, plus we’ve stored a sizeable amount of energy stones. For now, there won’t be a shortage of energy, so we can attempt to analyze this karmic chaotic energy."

Lin Yi stepped forward and spoke aloud.

"However, I hope the Lord keeps the bigger picture in mind and be extremely careful about your Divine Body. Your safety is crucial to the countless souls and fellow Taoist cultivators of the Netherworld. You must not act impulsively."

Upon his words, representatives of the major forces like Lu Li, Zhao Wumian, and the Cage King also stepped forward to advise Lin Xin to be extremely careful with his Divine Body.

This terrifying chaotic energy; if anything happened to Lin Xin’s avatar, it would be a disaster for them all.

"I know what I’m doing, don’t worry. All right, that’s it for today’s regular meeting."

With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Xin and Lin Yaoyang suddenly vanished from their seats.

Leaving behind Dragon Snake and Jiuqu, who were about to speak but ended up wearing helpless expressions.

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

Above the Netherworld.

A colossal, earthy-yellow grand formation protective shield slowly flowed with countless streaks of yellow light.

Rapidly replenishing the shield worn down by the gray-white chaotic energy.

Lin Xin floated in midair, almost completely immersed within the grand formation’s shield.

The entire Netherworld was his land for god worship. Although he had not yet raised the stars and entered the star domain, he was considered a part of the Netherworld, so the grand formation did not repel him.

At this moment, he borrowed the power of the grand formation to closely approach and study the essence of the chaotic energy.

Lin Xin flew to a point just a meter away from the grand formation’s boundary and stopped.

Staring at the wildly distorting, rushing gray-white chaotic energy outside, he slowly reached out and grasped.

Immediately, a wisp of hair-thin chaotic energy shot into the grand formation and landed in his palm.

Hiss.....

The chaotic energy, like some highly corrosive toxic gas, began rapidly converting and consuming the energy of his protective aura the moment it touched it.

However, because the amount was so small, the rate of conversion and consumption was extremely slow.

"Converting and swelling itself as it goes?" Lin Xin observed carefully, discovering that this chaotic energy could devour any material and transform it into something similar to itself.

The transformed white gas had slightly weaker corrosive and converting capabilities, but it quickly swelled and strengthened to become exactly like the original wisp.

"It can convert all material and energy; this chaotic energy is indeed terrifying. When the Wheel of Zodiac breaks, everything returns to chaos. This chaotic energy might be the ultimate tool for clearing everything out..." Lin Xin pondered.

"Without the Wheel of Zodiac’s operation...."

He tried to cast a Taoist art, only to find that the high-rank Taoist arts he could barely manage before now showed no response after forming talisman seals.

"Even the Taoist arts are shattered. All energy blends into one, how truly terrifying."

Lin Xin thought for a moment, then slightly dispersed his protective aura to reveal a small opening.

He wanted to see if his body, strengthened by attribute points, could withstand the invasion of the karmic chaotic energy.

To date, he had accumulated over a hundred and thirty million free attribute points. Besides damage, the other three attributes had a minimum of over a million points each, with defense having more than three million.

And the most terrifying damage attribute had reached a monstrous eleven million!

With a body strengthened by such attributes, even if he stood still and let an ordinary Earth Immortal attack him, it wouldn’t break through his protective aura.

Even for an average Heavenly Venerable, breaking his defense would be extremely challenging.

The damage attribute of over ten million granted Lin Xin terrifying speed and power.

With a casual punch, he could break through several layers of the Heavenly Realm, reaching the Ninth Heaven.

With a casual sword strike, he could catch up to the speed of light. By the time the opponent saw the blade, they would have already been struck long ago.

In other words, when others saw Lin Xin draw his sword, they were already dead.

Such speed and power were unparalleled.

Sss....

The white gas soon came into contact with Lin Xin’s skin.

The snow-white, flawless skin didn’t even have the expected texture, only a perfectly smooth surface that was more resilient than the hardest gemstone.

The white gas burned on the skin for a while, emitting a faint white smoke.

But the strange part was that the amount of white smoke produced was very little, as thin as a matchstick.

Lin Xin observed that the white smoke’s corrosive effect on his skin was not strong, estimating that under full-scale invasion, he could withstand it for at least a day and night without using his True Yuan to resist.

"Not enough."—

He immediately turned to the vast reserve of free attribute points.

"Increase physique and defense."

In an instant, guided by his immense divine will,

An enormous amount of free attribute points began pouring into the defense and physique categories.

His defense of 3.3 million points rapidly soared to four million.

Then five million!

Six million!

Seven million!

Eight million!

Nine million!!

Ten million!!!

Then for physique, which previously had only over a million, Lin Xin quickly directed countless free attribute points into it.

He watched as the physique attribute shot up like a rocket, swiftly gaining terrifying momentum.

Barely a moment later, it reached five million.

After a while,

The physique attribute also broke through ten million.

And he had only used over ten million attribute points.

"There are still abundant attribute points; it would be best to balance all four attributes evenly."

Lin Xin had always been somewhat concerned that a large gap in individual attributes compared to others might lead to unforeseen problems.

Since there was a way to balance it, there was no need to delay.

He decided to evenly distribute all attribute points. With a total of twelve million free attribute points remaining, dividing them among four attributes meant thirty million for each!

He stood in midair within the grand formation, madly adding points.

With the grand formation blocking the view, those below couldn’t see the scene.

Only Lin Yi and the other Daoist soldiers of Lin Xin, connected by their souls, could sense the rapid augmentation of Lin Xin, akin to an inflating balloon.

The four attributes surged like a slot machine, with the numbers climbing rapidly.

Lin Xin felt an immense, ancient force, as vast as a primordial ocean and volcano, surging through his meridians and blood vessels.

His body’s meridians, bones, flesh, and organs were all being greatly enhanced by an indescribable power.

His physical structure was continuously evolving, seemingly becoming further optimized.

Hiss!!

Suddenly, the right side of Lin Xin’s face, near his neck, cracked open, revealing a golden fissure.

From the fissure, a golden, dragon-like vertical eye emerged, exuding a divine, domineering, abyssal aura.

He touched the golden eye.

Everything before his eyes seemed to change subtly.

The golden eye felt like a third eye on his right face, able to blink and observe the outside world clearly and precisely.

The world seen through this eye was utterly different from what he saw with his normal eyes.

In the golden eye, countless golden threads crisscrossed every corner of space. Only the white mist area was empty, while the Netherworld and the space within the grand formation were filled with innumerable golden threads.

"Is this the supernatural ability that awakens naturally when attributes exceed thirty million each?"

Lin Xin extended his hand, gently reaching towards the nearest golden thread.

Ding!

The moment he touched the golden thread, he felt a slight pain in his right golden eye, making him close it reflexively.

Everything returned to normal in his field of vision, with only the flow of energy and the traces of space visible to his normal eyes.

Nothing around him changed, not even the grand formation’s flow, without the slightest energy disturbance.

Just as he was puzzled,

He suddenly realized,

He was still maintaining the posture of grasping a wisp of white chaotic energy.

The white chaotic energy remained outside his protective aura, constantly converting it.

And the palm he used to test the white gas had no trace of any contact!

"Could this be...!!?"

His mind raced with excitement.

"Once more!!"

He first memorized the flow patterns of the grand formation, then reopened his golden eye and endured its sting, observing the endless golden threads around him.

Then he slowly extended his hand towards another golden thread.

Dong!!

The golden thread trembled and instantly vanished.

Lin Xin felt a slight tremor in his mind.

Everything around him changed in the blink of an eye.

When he regained his composure, the surrounding grand formation had reverted to an earlier state of energy flow.

A familiar stream of yellow energy, arrow-shaped, slowly passed by Lin Xin and flowed into the outermost shield of the grand formation.

Scenes that Lin Xin had just witnessed once again appeared.

"Indeed!!!"

An astonishing possibility surged in Lin Xin’s mind.
