Chapter 875: Chapter 870: Defense Line Two

"Aren’t we still here? What’s the rush?" Lan lazily said, "Shadow Killers and Soul Reapers themselves are of a lower rank; it’s normal for them to escape, after all, they are the reincarnation of the Demon God King. However, our three defense lines later are different."

He was right. The cyan, blue, and orange, the three lines of defense, were far more formidable than the previous two.

Even for an Earth Immortal, it would be a challenge to break through.

"Alright, alright." Defense Minister Fan Long spoke indifferent words.

"Everyone need not argue, Lan is right. Even if they break through the first two defense lines, the next three, they may not pass, moreover aren’t there still the three major checkpoints?"

"What is the Demon God King? Merely the ultimate failure in the great tribulation war! Daring to be impudent to my Netherworld King’s restful existence, such an unseasonable person surviving till now is already miraculous." Qing sneered coldly.

"Being cautious never hurts." Huang, a beautiful woman clad in a goose-yellow embroidered skirt, rumored to be connected to the bloodthirsty Fairy Lu Li, either a disciple or some other relationship, who knows.

Thus, even when she said little, every word she uttered could never be ignored.

"Alright, they have reached the third line of defense... huh!?"

Suddenly, Fan Long, upon the throne, let out a light sound of surprise, carefully inspecting the floating water mirror.

Everyone saw the bizarre scene and showed astonished expressions.

In the water mirror, Song Danhao’s team of three had passed through the third line of defense, appearing in the fourth.

"Every defense line here is set up with completely different energy disruption belts; how did they pass through without even alerting the defense line...!?"

Qing’s face turned unsightly; he had just mocked Black and Purple—now it was his turn to feel uncomfortable.

"Then let me try." Blue on the fourth defensive line closed their eyes with a focused look.

....

Inside the vast void formation, illuminated a faint white by disaster energy.

The half-body Demon God statue had just appeared.

Surroundingly appeared massive eight-armed giants, each over a thousand meters in size.

These giants, their bodies seeming cast from bronze, reflected a thick metallic sheen.

Their arms were like terrifying bronze columns, grabbing at the half-body Demon God statue from all directions.

The enormous palms with terrifying pressure, comparable to the Fifth Rank, bore down upon Song Danhao and his companions.

"Heavenly Demon!"

A slightly anxious shout suddenly echoed from within the Demon God statue.

Boom!!!

Black light exploded, accompanied by a dull hum, and the half-body Demon God statue disappeared again.

The arms of the eight-armed giants collided as they lost their target, emitting terrifying roars.

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

Netherworld Palace, Illusory Demon Secret Realm.

According to Netherworld legends, the powerful Sherie Divine Monarch in order to hide his three greatest secrets.

Constructed three secret realms.

Illusory Demon Secret Realm, Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm, Divine Wind Secret Realm.

The Illusory Demon Secret Realm being the outermost and most known among the three.

Of course, this is merely outsider speculation, but only Lin Xin knew, these three secret realms were actually three different worlds he located, sifted through using the Qira Mask.

After finding these three worlds, the main body staying in the Netherworld wasn’t idly doing nothing.

He employed formations to seize more than half of each world, using his horrifying pull to compress them into three places with incomparably high density and gravitational force trial grounds.

The Illusory Demon Secret Realm, able to freely control gravity from one to one hundred times.

The Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm, can control gravitational forces from one hundred to one thousand times. It can also simulate part of the harsh environments of the abyss of the Heavenly Realm Lin Xin had seen.

The Divine Wind Secret Realm.

This is the most mysterious and terrifying one.

It can control gravity from one thousand to ten thousand times. Simultaneously, Lin Xin’s great freedom glass square-inch mirror light heart core at the center forms a Heavenly Venerable level perverse devouring gravity.

Furthermore, there’s the Primordial Spirit Holy Light of many Heavenly Venerables, leaving an enduring light domain here to experience.

These three secret realms were constructed by Lin Xin to serve as a holy land for cultivation practice for disciples to refine their bodies.

At this moment within the Illusory Demon Secret Realm.

The golden land similar to meteor craters, at the center a small lake reflecting the golden halo of a simulated sun in the sky.

Heavy rain poured.

Lin Xin stood by the edge of a huge crater holding an umbrella, clearly there was a hexagonal pavilion behind him, yet he had no intention of entering to shelter from the rain.

"Every time you come in here, you never use any True Yuan or cultivation power, but like an ordinary mortal. What are you thinking?"

Lin Yaoyang stood in the pavilion behind him, watching Lin Xin, the person she married wholeheartedly but felt less happy with over time, with a complicated gaze.

"Yes... the cosmos is yours to roam, the destruction and survival of worlds depend on your whims. Countless lives granted life or death by you, what more do you seek?"

Lin Yaoyang wore a black-purple gown with dazzling gold and silver threads, with elaborate floral-like decorations standing upright behind.

Her hair was coiled up, her brow adorned with light red makeup, exuding both beauty and majesty.

"Satisfaction?" Lin Xin turned his head to look at her.

"Actually, a long, long time ago, I realized I was wrong."

"I don’t care about anything else, I just ask you to spare Song Danhao and the others." Lin Yaoyang felt increasingly unable to understand Lin Xin.

She felt the gap between herself and the other party was growing wider and wider, like a chasm.

And it was a chasm that continued to widen with no end in sight.

Many times when Lin Xin held her to sleep, every time she woke up and looked back, he was always wide awake.

No matter the time, he was always awake, his gaze calm and fixedly looking at her.

This made her increasingly unable to endure, her whole body shivered, but she was helpless.

She tried to communicate with him, urging him to rest, but to no avail.

Lin Xin said he must continuously cultivate, continuously comprehend sword techniques, continuously become stronger.

He could not stop; once he stopped, everything now would be like a mirage, vanishing completely.

She couldn’t understand.

"You are already strong enough. Even if ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or a million years pass, and I’m reduced to ashes and dust, you can still maintain your current state, perhaps even live until the universe is destroyed. Why not be a little kinder to yourself?

Let yourself have a good rest?"

Lin Yaoyang said lowly.

"Song Danhao, they are my friends, Xu Ling spoke too harshly about you, I admit she was too extreme, but...."

"I didn’t take it to heart." Lin Xin interrupted her lightly.

The bean-sized raindrops could not stop his voice from being exceptionally clear, as if it was echoing right in Lin Yaoyang’s ear.

"You should know, I have no interest in beings that even a few ants can’t compare to.... therefore, it wasn’t me who acted against them."

Lin Yaoyang understood what he meant. If he was truly angry, he could blow Song Danhao and the other two away with a single breath.

He was truly too strong.

So strong that, apart from the occasional few like the Universal Heavenly Venerable who could understand him, the rest had long lost sight of the heights he reached. They only knew he was very strong.

In a world devoid of the Taoist Ancestor, nothing could compare to how strong he truly was!

"I understand." Lin Yaoyang’s mind raced; she was trying to immerse herself in Lin Xin’s thoughts, to understand him and hope to persuade him.

"But without your tacit approval, others wouldn’t act so recklessly!"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Lin Xin asked lightly. "Order that no one is allowed to take action, to hunt them down?"

"Yes! I hope you consider my sake and order no one to take action." Lin Yaoyang nodded seriously.

The rain poured down.

The golden earth was dotted everywhere by shattered raindrops, and the uneven ground reflected golden sunlight, the splashing water like countless scattered grains of golden sand, dazzling and blinding.

"An Ying wouldn’t be like this..... nor would Lingling." Lin Xin looked at her and suddenly said something she couldn’t understand at all.

Lin Yaoyang wanted to ask, but suddenly found herself unable to speak, as if her throat was blocked by some invisible force, no matter how hard she tried to make a sound, it was futile.

She immediately panicked, disregarding the heavy rain, and ran towards the perimeter, towards Lin Xin.

"Madam is tired, help her back to rest." Lin Xin turned away, no longer looking at her, just giving a bland instruction.

"Yes."

In a flash, two cold women dressed in tight purple clothes, faces covered, appeared abruptly beside Lin Yaoyang. Ignoring her struggles, they directly helped her up.

A flash of purple light, and the two, along with Lin Yaoyang, vanished.

Lin Xin held an umbrella, gazing at the lake surface struck by the heavy rain, forming countless ripples, once again immersing himself in comprehending sword techniques.

The memories of sword techniques he comprehended from the Sword Hall, and the Taoist Ancestor’s Origin he obtained, were treasures of extreme complexity that required enormous amounts of time for endless comprehension.

These were things that needed countless time to digest.

To catch up with Fang Yu and Jiu Se, to reach the level of a Taoist Ancestor, aside from comprehending these two things, he also needed to seek out items capable of enhancing his attributes through devouring.

And now, the black and white battle between Fang Yu and Jiu Se, the battle between Buddha and Demon, was the perfect time for him to fish in troubled waters.

And then there is the Evil God King..... the Divine King’s Hall.

The difficulties and dilemmas he faced were beyond Lin Yaoyang’s understanding.

He couldn’t rest; once he stopped, perhaps everything would be over. In a thousand years, if Jiu Se devours Fang Yu, the outcome for Nether City in the Netherworld would undoubtedly be destructive.

"Ah....."

Taking a deep breath and sighing, Lin Xin suddenly recalled the peaceful days at the manor in the Underworld back then.

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

The fifth defense line.

One snow monster after another opened their giant eyes, emitting a white light, with a wave of their hands, large, spiral tornado-like blizzards instantly covered the surrounding tens of Spirit Mile.

The fifth defense line had only a hundred snow monsters.

But these hundred snow monsters were divided into three groups, with thirty-three in each group, continuously unleashing blizzards of Fifth Rank peak power, surrounding the entire Nether City in the Netherworld.

Song Danhao and the other two leapt, landing right into the blizzard.

Suddenly, massive snowballs like boulders, snowflakes as sharp as Divine Weapons, and snow points bringing sharp resonance as they broke through the air, all rushed towards them the moment they appeared.
