How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

Chapter 407: Chapter 407: Kill Elder Di, Tear the Trump Card

The terrifying destructive power of the Di Luo Army left him in shock.

If such a fierce beast army followed the Li Tian Clan’s deployment to target and eliminate Daxia’s various overseas institutions and people, no one could escape!

Including even the heavily guarded embassies!

Lin Xiaosu couldn’t kill all the Earthfall Beasts.

However, with the Left Envoy’s reminder, he found a shortcut: kill Elder Di.

With Elder Di gone, no one at the moment could control the Earthfall Beasts.

No matter how terrifying the Earthfall Beasts are, without anyone to control them, they’re nothing.

A sharp blade, no matter how cutting, without a hand to wield it, is nothing!

Lin Xiaosu extended his hand and touched a button on the stone wall.

The door in front opened silently.

Revealing a dark secret room inside.

In the secret room, there lay a pitch-black coffin.

Inside the coffin lay an old man.

It was Elder Di.

Elder Di’s eyes suddenly snapped open.

As they did, Lin Xiaosu standing before the coffin suddenly had a bizarre feeling, as if a vast abyss lay before him, with a coffin floating in it.

The coffin suddenly opened, and a skeletal hand, seemingly endless, pointed at his brow.

Lin Xiaosu raised his hand and the sword fell!

This strike didn’t target the deadly skeletal hand but the void.

The void seemed to contain nothing.

However, swish!

A soft sound, and the skeletal hand vanished like smoke.

The abyss vanished like smoke.

Inside the coffin, a head separated from the body, Elder Di’s eyes wide open in disbelief.

His thin finger had already touched Lin Xiaosu’s throat.

And just slid down slowly.

Lin Xiaosu’s back also seeped with a layer of cold sweat.

This old man followed the usual practices of the Utopian upper echelon, skilled in illusion technique.

Moreover, his skill far exceeded that of Huikong, the Chairman of Utopia’s central region.

Huikong needed to use the “Lotus” on his chest to create an Illusion Realm.

He didn’t need it.

He only needed his own pair of eyes.

When the eyes opened, the Illusion Realm was formed!

The Illusion Realm constructed a vast abyss, a coffin, and a skeletal hand.

All of this was an illusion.

Then, there was also a real attack, the real attack being a finger without any sound or killing intent!

Such a death trap, half real half fictitious.

Such a death trap, the stronger one’s battle instincts, the more they would be misled.

Probably only Lin Xiaosu would be an exception.

Because his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye could see through illusions.

Also because his sub-God skill had reached Level 20.

Even so, Elder Di’s illusion caused his Primordial Spirit in his brain to ripple, showing that it was strongly impacted, the shockwave being the sub-God’s aftermath.

For the first time in his life facing sub-God strikes, the bewildering eeriness and terror were quite overwhelming…

Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath and extended his hand.

Taking the flute from the coffin, which belonged to Elder Di.

This flute was heavy.

Ice cold to the touch.

With his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye deciphering layer by layer, Lin Xiaosu was shocked again.

This flute was neither metal, nor bamboo or wood, nor jade; it was made of Earthfall Beast scale!

Earthfall Beast scale was extremely thin.

Theoretically unable to make a flute, yet this flute in his hand was clearly made of Earthfall Beast scale.

The reason it could be so extraordinary was only one: the scale was unbelievably large!

Unbelievably thick!

And not silver, but jade in texture.

Could it be, this was the ancestral scale of the Earthfall Beast series?

Precisely because it was the ancestral scale, the flute made from it could command the Earthfall Beasts?

Regardless, there’s no way to verify that right now.

Because at this moment, he had infiltrated the Divine Temple.

Even just the encounter with Elder Di gave him a new understanding of the temple’s foundation.

A wondrous race that has been transmitting for thousands of years, their trump cards do indeed refresh constantly.

Blindly disturbing them is courting death.

The flute was stored in the Secret Realm Space.

The room’s door closed once again.

Elder Di died in the secret room, and in the short term, probably won’t be discovered.

Why?

Because Elder Di’s rest differed from ordinary people’s rest.

Due to controlling the Di Luo Army, he had consumed a lot of spiritual power, needing to sleep in an absolutely quiet environment to recover his spiritual power.

This kind of rest did not require eating or drinking, nor needing service, just needing one point, others should not disturb.

Now, it was done, this flute player who terrified the world with a single strike, rested quietly.

The time of rest would be eternal!

Lin Xiaosu in this secret room, made a quick entry and exit, ending a person’s life, and also ended the Divine Temple’s recently played trump card.

But his journey wasn’t over.

He had an even bolder plan…

Twisting through the passage, he came upon a bronze gate.

Lin Xiaosu performed a time space reversal, seeing the scene where the Seventh Elders bid farewell to two people…

This gate required almost all the elders of the temple’s joint approval to open.

Because their canes each had their own mysteries.

Five canes gathering could open this Five Elements gate.

Theoretically, no one in the world could open it by themselves.

However, many common understandings had already been overturned by Lin Xiaosu here…

With a wave of his hand, a crimson stone flew towards the flame on the door.

His hand moved, and the sword gleamed, striking the stone door with four rapid cuts like lightning.

Each of those four cuts carried a different form of energy.

The cut on the left, boundless with vitality, was imbued with the energy of wood.

The cut below, gentle and fluid, held the energy of water.

The cut on the right, sharp beyond compare, bore the energy of metal.

The cut in the center, extremely heavy, contained the energy of earth.

Within him, the energies of the Five Elements lacked fire.

No matter, from Shenghua Valley he had received a batch of Array Stones, among which there was a Fire Array Stone.

It could serve as a substitute.

Soundlessly, the door opened.

Lin Xiaosu stepped into the passage, the stone door silently closing behind him.

Inside the temple, masterful figures were abundant.

Outside the temple, vigilance was strict.

No one knew, under the gazes of all, their most loathed person, Lin Xiaosu, had entered the basement, killed Elder Di, and opened the gate that required the gathering of five elders, entering a secret place in this world.

Perhaps, the most secretive place…

The passage was long, seemingly endless.

The passage was deep, growing deeper with each step.

The passage was quiet, Lin Xiaosu finally understood that in an absolutely quiet environment, one can hear their own heartbeat.

The passage had many forks, had he been alone, he might have gotten lost, but fortunately, his time space reversal was powerful enough, and he followed the silhouettes from hours ago traversing the passage.

The White-clothed Left Envoy, the Black-clothed Qingru.

Watching them walk through the darkness, with a light gait as if they were ancient nobles, Lin Xiaosu felt a strange sense of familiarity with them.

Who possesses such an elegant and carefree demeanor?

Among women, there’s Miao Yin.

Among men, there’s Xiang Yixiu.

Another person had given Lin Xiaosu a similar feeling, although he never walked with such a gait in front of Lin Xiaosu, the aura one exudes doesn’t necessarily need to be expressed through their gait.

This was Lin Weiyang, the owner of Bai shan residence.

Lin Weiyang was truly an enigmatic person.

A professor, noble and moral, he resolutely exposed the recruitment from foreign organizations, bearing the brunt of their suppression, sacrificing his wife and children.

Effortlessly transitioned from academia to business, amassing hundreds of millions in a decade.

He earned not for wealth, but to fulfill a dream, establishing the Mountain and Sea Club with sincere intentions, using entertainment as a guise for salvation.

He casually told Lin Xiaosu two things.

A person with two shadows, and a place hiding the blade that threatened him.

The person was the Shadowy Heaven King, the place was Sangmu Temple.

One must admit, the high level of this information and the precision of this judgment deeply moved Lin Xiaosu.

Such clues could never be provided by Qianlong King.

But Lin Weiyang could!

What kind of person is he?

If he is a friend, he would be a valuable ally.

If not,

then what kind of figure would he be?

Lin Xiaosu lightly shook his head; some matters in the world should wait until he returns to address. But this road ahead doesn’t seem like a path leading back to the world.

There’s light ahead!

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat, was he there?

He lightened his steps, almost soundlessly, advancing slowly, with each step, the passage gradually opened up…

The scene before him was nearly unbelievable.

Mountains rolling, red light suffusing the sky, and a landscape as clear as day, bearing no resemblance to any underground appearance.

Yet, under the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, he distinctly saw the sky had a lid!

Which means the sky is not a “virtual sky” in the usual sense.

But objectively an “actual ground”.

This space is, in fact, a cavern beneath the surface.

However, this cave is vast, boundless!

He could see at least a hundred miles away, without seeing an end.

Standing at the passage exit watching the rolling mountains felt identical to standing on a mountain’s peak watching them with the setting sun in the surface world!

The surrounding light was like the remnants of a setting sun.

A blaze of red.

What is emitting this light?

Lin Xiaosu narrowed his gaze, seeing them clearly—the volcanoes!

Volcanoes were everywhere, illuminating this underground space.

Below the mountain lay a volcanic lake, where the boiling lava churned, and heated air greeted him, carrying no fresh scent, but a strong smell of sulfur.

In front stood a Mountain God Temple.

The passage exit he stood upon lay conspicuously in the backyard of this Mountain God Temple.

Lin Xiaosu took three steps forward, suddenly halting.

Before him appeared two silhouettes.

These two, their appearance was little different from local Middle Eastern people on the surface, yet the clothes they wore were made of a fabric never seen before, fibers were coarse like hemp ropes, but had a faint shine, not appearing shabby when worn.

“Who are you?” Six words spoken by the middle-aged man on the left.

In Mandarin.

“I am a Li Tian Clan Member! The Left Envoy forgot something very important, the elder ordered me to deliver it promptly.” Lin Xiaosu replied.

Their faces slightly relaxed, the person on the right said, “To enter the ‘Bridge Realm,’ yet forget something important, what’s wrong with that head? Alright, give it to me, and hurry back!”

“The elder said this item is extremely crucial, it must be handed directly to the Left Envoy, not through others.” Lin Xiaosu replied.

The person on the left grew annoyed, “A mere Outer Sect, yet so many rules!”

“Alright, alright!” said the person on the right, “Extend your hand, for a test! As long as you’re truly a clan member, entering briefly is of no concern!”

He extended his hand, revealing a compass with glowing green light, upon which lay a sharp needle tainted with traces of blood.

Blood test!

To confirm his identity as a Li Tian Clan Member.

Lin Xiaosu furrowed his brows, “Is there really a need to be so meticulous at work?”

“What? You have an objection?” Both men’s gazes lifted simultaneously, exceedingly authoritative.

Lin Xiaosu sighed softly, “I somewhat understand the lamentation frequently expressed by cattle and horses; people who are too meticulous with their work often… die unexpectedly!”

Slash!

Two heads simultaneously flew up…
