Chapter 885: Chapter 880 Food 2

As the Master of Invisibility, Xia, Lin Xin naturally wouldn’t allow his true form to easily enter his core area.

Once is luring the enemy, two or three times would be foolish.

"We Evil God Kings were originally the Taoist Ancestors of our own Black Universe. So pollution is actually assimilation." Xia explained simply.

"Evil God King is the original Taoist Ancestor?"

Lin Xin was slightly taken aback.

"To be precise, after the Black Universe belonging to the Evil God King was destroyed, the rules of our Integration ceased to exist. Therefore, the Evil God King exists as an entity between a top seeker and a Taoist Ancestor." Xia explained.

"After all this, have you brought the Evil God King you promised?" Lin Xin asked blandly.

"In a quarter of an hour, four Evil God Kings will join forces and come to try to destroy your core body, seizing the Taoist Ancestor Origin and your core body.

I am only responsible for leading them in, the rest is not my concern."

Xia said with a sinister smile.

"No problem!" Lin Xin’s spirit was lifted.

After waiting for decades, finally, this day had come.

The former Evil God King just finished his meal. The arrival of these four new ones might bring him another billion or even two billion Free Attribute Points.

Although compared to Fang Yu and Jiu Se now, these attributes are insignificant even if added.

But to construct his Galactic Core, perhaps it is still more than enough.

"After this wave of Evil God Kings, I will consecutively lead in over thirty more evils, after which I can’t do anymore. There are only ten Evil God Kings in the Divine King’s Hall in total, and the other two have nothing to do with me."

Xia spoke straightforwardly.

"After absorbing and devouring these, you should qualify to practice the Telekinesis Divine Skill."

"What do you mean...?" Lin Xin’s heart stirred, his divine sense instantly grasped the other’s intention.

"With this, protecting oneself won’t be a problem, isn’t that better?" Xia said with a sinister smile. He wished for Lin Xin to become as powerful as possible, as his pawn and partner, to gain a slim chance in the final decisive battle, ordinary means would not suffice.

"Protect oneself?" Lin Xin remained expressionless, yet he thought of another way in his mind.

The two of them were momentarily silent.

Lin Xin practiced the Divine Wind Sword Technique, causing him to gradually lose emotional feelings. If it weren’t for his inner obsession, he feared he would be capable of doing anything.

Xia was originally the Master of Invisibility, adept at manipulating people’s minds to the pinnacle, and at this moment, he could also feel Lin Xin’s increasingly cold and indifferent nature.

For people in such a state, being straightforward is the best choice.

Time passed quickly by a quarter of an hour.

The Outer Void suddenly shook fiercely, as if a massive explosion had occurred.

A gigantic black blade hundreds of meters long shot out suddenly from the earth-yellow protective shield.

The black blade fiercely stabbed into the protective shield, accompanied by terrifying power and a thunderous roar. It penetrated through dozens of layers of Defense Formations before finally being stopped by the last golden formation.

The formation on the ground of the Netherrealm rose and rotated, lifting four golden stone pillars carved with heads of dragon and bodies of phoenix - mysterious divine beasts.

Boom!!

The four stone pillars suddenly lit up with four gold-colored lightning, converging in the middle to form a platinum-colored halo. Instantly, the strength and power of the golden protective shield soared to a higher level.

Shriek!

Dozens of Earth Immortals from the Defense Department appeared abruptly, looking up at the giant black blade.

"Where did this black blade come from?"

"The power is immense; it almost smashed through the entire Netherrealm’s grand formation."

"Inside seems to hide something rather problematic. Who will handle it?"

"I’ll go. You notify Shen Lue Venerable, report the nature and direction of this black blade."

One person soared into the sky, trailed by bands of blue light, flying towards the black blade.

He is Lan, one of the major leaders under the Shen Lue Heavenly Venerable in the Defense Department.

As he flew up, a densely packed group of Taoist soldiers and cultivators also swarmed in around the black blade.

All the cultivators were surrounded by grand and terrifying energy fluctuations.

The weakest were in the Nascent Soul Realm, and the strongest were Human Immortals only slightly weaker than a few leaders.

These have been the Defense Forces organized over the past two decades after integrating the entire Netherrealm’s power.

Under the Netherrealm’s grand formation’s support, they would possess nearly infinite True Yuan total. Their Divine Secret Skills would also be nearly doubled in power.

The black blade was held immobile in mid-air by the last layer of formation, the strongest of all.

Lan flew directly closer, wearing white gloves for inspection, lightly pressing on the black blade.

A dense mesh of blue patterns, like circuits, emerged under the white glove.

At the same time, the surface of the black blade also displayed enlarged blue patterns, changing with the direction of Lan’s strokes.

"This is extremely pure high-density black stone. The black blade was forged at least a million years ago, how could it just end up here out of the blue?"

Lan murmured softly.

The Nether City’s Nether Palace often had many such calamity-vacuum waste smashing into it every day.

These calamity-vacuum wastes comprised everything, mostly black stones, with fewer remnants of battlefield ruins, like divine armors corroded by calamity energy or the skeletal remains of certain creatures devoid of life and soul.

Or sometimes, they are an unidentifiable jumble.

Thus, Lan was not too perturbed, having encountered calamity-wastes far stronger and more massive than the black blade.

Once, he even encountered a dark golden elixir that crashed through an entire formation, heading toward the direction of the Netherworld Palace.

If Lin Xin hadn’t intervened just in time, catching the elixir and blocking the subsequent force, the entire Netherworld Palace might have been obliterated.

That elixir eventually disintegrated and dissipated in Lin Xin’s hands due to excessive energy expenditure. The remaining powder was handed over to researchers for study.

"Is it another black blade this time? This is a bit curious." Lan scrutinized the black blade inch by inch.

"It seems to have no owner. I just wonder if it can be refined into a magic artifact or utensil. The density of black stone is the greatest; if it can’t be refined, placing it in the Netherworld Palace as decoration isn’t bad either."

He felt quite at ease, surrounded by hundreds of cultivators, Dao soldiers, and the Defense Department monitoring here. The grand formation was unbroken, and he studied the black blade through the formation, so there should be no incidents.

Just as he scanned to the black blade’s end, at the last piece of the hilt.

Boom!! Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom!!!

In an instant, six consecutive violent explosions burst forth from the handle of the Black Blade.

Six terrifying silver shockwaves fiercely blasted out in all directions.

Lan, caught off guard, turned pale, retreated tens of meters, and vomited a mouthful of heart blood, collapsing weakly.

The grand formation was unexpectedly blasted open with a large gap by the shockwaves in just a moment. Only two of the six shockwaves were consumed, the remaining ones surged through the gap towards the Netherworld below.

"Damn it! Close the formation!!"

The other masters of the Defense Department cast spells one after another, countless yellow dragon shadows of the Earth Attribute flew out, rushing towards the gap to block the incoming shockwaves.

With Lan injured, the others became nervous, forming a grand formation themselves, gathering immense power to fiercely crush the Black Blade.

....

At the back of the Netherworld.

Between a few black stone buildings, in an alley unnoticed by any residents.

The black-gray ground of the alley suddenly churned a few times.

A tiny gray seed slowly sprouted gray roots, penetrating into the ground, and on top grew a fresh green sprout full of life force.

The sprout slowly grew taller, longer, and thicker, branching out tender shoots.

The shoots gradually shifted from tender green to light green, and then to a dark green.

Until it leaned against the wall, growing into an ordinary half-human tall plant.

Among the massive gray roots at the base of the plant, three of them were rapidly extending towards the deepest parts of the Netherworld underground, invisible to the naked eye in the soil.

The three roots quietly passed through layers of formation defenses, silently bypassing the fierce Guardians one by one.

Finally, as if smoothly let through, they touched the outer layer of the most core red spherical space.

"This is it."

"Let’s act together."

"Alright."

The three intentions exchanged opinions instantly, reaching a consensus.

"Retrieve the Taoist Ancestor Origin at the fastest speed, destroy the core upon leaving, we only need one strike, whether it succeeds or not, depends on fate."

"This Shen Lue Divine Monarch, no wonder he was heavily suppressed by the Jiu Se Divine Domain, was infiltrated by us so easily."

"Don’t be careless, if not for Xia, none of us could have easily mixed in here."

"What if Lin Sherie isn’t dead?"

"Then it’s his overwhelming fate, extraordinary fortune. Our goal is reached that’s all that matters."

"Rest assured, with me here, everything is not a problem. Opening the Dark Gate can perfectly deceive even the Taoist Ancestor, let alone Lin Sherie. You take the Taoist Ancestor Origin, but I want half of his core."

Xia’s voice echoed in the minds of the few.

"Half is too much, at most a third."

"Then go yourselves. I won’t accompany you." Xia had a tone of intending to drop the burden.

The others considered for a moment.

"Fine. However, you must act together with us and bear the consequences."

A voice said deeply.

"In the name of the Divine King, yes."

Xia said seriously.

"I have prepared all escape routes, you have seen it before.

Rest assured, I will arrange the exit route, with the Dark Gate here, Lin Sherie cannot possibly patch this fatal flaw.

I will prepare the teleportation array plate, after achieving your goal, leave assuredly....."

At the core area.

Xia stood before Lin Xin, gently crushing the teleportation array plates used for activating escape routes one by one.

He wore a strange smile, but was still carefully explaining to the few Evil God Kings from afar.

"Only the time must be within fifty breaths."

Finally, the last teleportation array plate for leaving was crushed.

Xia continued to advise in a serious tone.

"Remember, you only have fifty breaths of time. Otherwise, all the array plates for leaving will shatter."

The voice finally echoed in the blood-colored space.

"Is this enough?"

Lin Xin looked at Xia.

"What do you think?" Xia disconnected from the link over there.

"I have severed their exit route, leaving them with only one path to take."

He showed a sly smile.

"And that is....."

"Defeat me."

Lin Xin said calmly.

He sat in the air, just a bit in front of the core, with a black crystal stone throne.

The seat was large, over ten meters high and wide, Lin Xin placed his eight arms on the armrests of the throne, the black hole in his chest slowly rotating, wisps of white smoke continuously emitted from his back.

His body was over eight meters tall, compared to Xia, it was like an elephant to a baby. The contrast in size was striking.

He seemed no different from before, but only Xia understood that in this area, Lin Xin was now in his truly strongest state.

"Unfortunately, their chances of defeating you are zero."

Xia gave a sinister smile and slowly retreated into the shadows, disappearing in an instant.

Lin Xin did not reply, accepting this by default.

His opponents were no longer any Evil God King, nor any seekers of Heavenly Venerable. It was Taoist Ancestors of the level of the Jiu Se Dungeon.
