Chapter 866: Chapter 861 Hidden Danger Part 1

"I want to know how to quickly absorb the Taoist Ancestor Origin." Lin Xin directly voiced his concerns.

Between the great powers, just mental and soul sensing alone, unless intentionally obscured or deceived, they can clearly perceive each other’s determination and perseverance.

Sometimes no words are needed; just a mutual touch of divine thought, and both parties can instantly understand countless ideas from the other.

Many hidden meanings also need not be openly articulated.

"Sure." Hongye was slightly surprised, Taoist Ancestor Origin could actually be obtained. Sending this kid out back then was the second-best investment he ever made in his life.

"But you should deal with the Black Light Army first. They are not that easy to fend off."

"Oh?"

Lin Xin was slightly surprised.

He had a rough idea of Hongye’s level. Even he said the other side was tough, so it must be really troublesome.

Hongye glanced at him and said slowly.

"After all, they are from the strongest empire of another universe."

"Another universe!?"

Lin Xin was shocked.

As he was about to ask what it meant, he saw Hongye’s gaze shift behind him.

"They’re here."

Lin Xin turned around, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked towards the distant grassland.

"It seems I need to carefully see what level the strongest army of the empire you mentioned is."

At the horizon where the grassland and sky connected, a black line like a tide was rapidly approaching him.

As the distance drew closer, the black line gradually revealed its outline.

It was a massive formation of black armored soldiers, each over three meters tall, fully clad in heavy armor, wearing helmets that obscured their heads, with two sharp silver spears on their backs. The spearheads hung with mysterious black rune-adorned silk, like flags.

"This is the Black Light Army." Hongye said blandly, his gaze seemingly fixed on the Black Light Army, though his pupils were dispersed as if lost in thought.

"Actually, individually they are not strong, but together they are a bit troublesome."

"I will need your guidance later." Lin Xin said calmly.

"I’ll deal with these first."

He took a step forward, and his body suddenly flickered.

White light spread out, and his human body vanished, replaced by a towering eight-meter-tall pale flesh body with eight arms.

This was his true form.

After revealing his true form, Lin Xin no longer suppressed the terrifying force field spiritual light around him.

A blood-red halo slowly appeared behind him, with ghastly human faces and bones floating up and down within it.

Hiss!!

A circle of blood-red light spread out abruptly from Lin Xin as the center to all directions.

Where the halo reached, the grass withered and turned black, and the soil and stones gradually melted, turning into a thick black liquid.

Some insects and animals that couldn’t escape in time were instantly melted and devoured.

Every dying life emitted a light blue smoke that shot towards Lin Xin in the sky.

Lin Xin hung high in the air, staring indifferently at the distant tide of the Black Light Army.

The blue smoke swirled and circled, merging into the large black hole in his chest.

Several black holes on his back also began to emit a faint white smoke, with terrifying ghostly cries and wails reverberating from within.

"This is the sound of sinful karma... how could you...!"

Hongye’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this sound.

Lin Xin shook his head slightly.

"Since I returned from the Void battlefield, this sound has gradually appeared."

Hongye was immediately moved.

"You..." For the first time, he carefully scrutinized Lin Xin.

"How many people did you kill...?"

Lin Xin thought about it.

"Not sure, I’ve lost count. Senior, is this sound very troublesome?"

"We’ll talk about it later..." Hongye sighed and fell silent.

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

"Cahill actually... actually lost?!"

The fat nobleman’s pipe, which he had just put in his mouth, fell to the ground with a crisp sound. But he had no intention of having a servant pick it up, just staring dazedly at the distant sky.

There had just been a massive red dragon, but now, there was nothing.

"How is that possible!?" His mind went blank. "Cahill actually lost..."

For a moment, he felt as if the sky was falling.

Cahill was the Sea-Calming Divine Needle of Yingjie Song City, who had suppressed and annihilated wave after wave of native assaults and sieges, securing this rich, resourceful colony for the empire and laying the groundwork for future invasions of this universe.

But now, unexpectedly, Cahill not only lost but also died in battle.

"Her death isn’t the problem; what about us nobles of the Imperial Family?!" The young noble beside him roared.

"It will take my uncle three more years to arrive! How will we survive these three years?"

"Damn it, are we noble Imperial Family nobles supposed to wander the grasslands, drinking unfiltered river water and eating raw food?"

Some nobles began to react.

"Everyone, please stay calm."

A female noble who had remained silent lifted the curtain of her white carriage.

"A local at the Dragon Crown Realm is indeed a big problem. But do not worry."

Her expression was composed.

"My husband Berend has already led the Black Light Army here just in time."

"The Black Light Army!!"

The originally restless nobles instantly calmed down upon hearing the name.

"In the empire’s colonial inter-universe army, the Black Light Army belongs to the Quentin Corps. They are formidable. With War Dragon General Berend taking action, we can rest assured."

The fat nobleman was the first to jump out joyfully, "Lady Laura, you are a timely rain; otherwise, we noble Imperial Family members would indeed become the laughingstock of the Imperial Capital’s noble circles."

Lady Laura smiled faintly.

"You are too kind, Lord Hugo."

"No, no... it is you who are too kind, my lady."

Fat nobleman Hugo kept wiping the sweat from his hands with a handkerchief, all from the fear earlier.

Fat people sweat easily, a natural phenomenon, but now, in the chilly autumn wind, sweating so much could only be from fear.

One crucial reason he treated Lady Laura with such respect was that her husband, Baron Berend, had pure royal blood and was a true Imperial Family noble general.

Unlike the upstart Cahill, he was supported by an entire great noble family with power and influence far exceeding that of foundationless generals like Cahill.

"With the Black Light Army, the heretics can be repelled, but our losses are already severe. Now we should consider how to minimize the damage incurred," Lady Laura said mildly.

"You are right, my lady." The fat noble Hugo agreed hastily.

Other surrounding nobles also chimed in with smiles.

Suddenly, Laura looked up, gazing distantly towards the grassland.

"They are here!"

The nobles stretched their necks, looking towards the end of the grassland.

A black line was emerging slowly, connecting the sky and land, surging towards Yingjie Song City.

"Saved at last!!"

The caravans cheered in unison.

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

Berend rode on his white warhorse, surrounded by whirling, twisting waves, with faint golden threads weaving through them.

He had bright platinum blond short hair, a well-built muscle frame, and piercing eyes outshining the eagles in the sky.

"This will be my future fiefdom."

He looked at the divided city of Yingjie Song in the distance.

"But now, Cahill competes, Gorn competes.

Even the aliens, these lowly hornless beings, dare to compete..."

His voice was low, sending shivers through the following Black Light Army soldiers.

Berend was both strong and perverse.

He enjoyed bathing in moonlit nights with a mixture of human blood, flower petals, and special spices.

His favorite dinner was to dip a newborn baby’s heart immediately after extraction in fresh, raw lamb’s liver.

His notoriety in the Black Light Army kept other generals at a distance.

But his slight royal blood kept him untouchable.

"This native who killed Cahill might become a great general for my conquest of other worlds... worth trying to subdue."

He gazed at the red figure floating in the sky from afar.

"Hmm... good appearance, too..."

"General, the order from above is to kill him directly..." a lieutenant reminded quietly.

"Such a pity... I was going to offer him a chance, but he ruined Yingjie Song City..." Berend sighed with indifference.

"Since Cahill couldn’t kill him, his strength should be above the Dragon Crown realm. Gather the Black Light Dragon directly."

Riding on his warhorse, black-armored soldiers stepped forward, helping him don the heavy armor.

The armor assembly was quick, like putting together building blocks, with a few clicks fitting into place.

Berend grabbed a dark red spear, and his white horse neighed, growing black hair and swelling several times in size, almost like an elephant.

Roar!!

The white horse let out a low growl, no longer sounding like a horse.

"Go, Toreyda, hahaha!!" Berend laughed heartily, riding his horse into the distant sky.

Behind him, numerous Black Light soldiers exuded waves, forming the shadow of an elderly yellow dragon.

The yellow dragon followed Berend closely, with eyes reflecting the changing seasons.

This was the Time Dragon, also the Black Light Dragon.

The strongest guardian dragon image of the Black Light Army.

Lin Xin watched from afar as the formidable Black Light Army General approached, the huge yellow dragon behind him exuding a strange feeling, seemingly possessing time-related abilities.

"Let’s test it out first."

He took a deep breath, then lightly exhaled.

Whoosh....!

A terrifying tornado emerged, and the airflow twisted and rotated in front of him, forming a massive towering tornado heading towards the Black Light Army.

Boom!!

The tornado shattered with a single blow from the general’s dark red spear.

"Interesting."

Lin Xin showed a slight interest.

One of his eight arms formed a sword and slashed towards the opponent with force.

With a tearing sound, space cracked open, revealing another layer of the world beneath.

The air condensed into a Qi Sword, creating a series of black fissures in space like dried white branches, striking the Black Light Army General.

"Hahaha!" The general laughed heartily, his platinum blond hair strikingly conspicuous.

The red spear flashed like lightning, piercing eighteen times in an instant.

Each thrust carried immense weight, also tearing through space, leaving a trail of spatial rifts.
