Chapter 968: 877 Descendants of the Lin Family

A vast dark forest, a deafening explosion echoed, a giant crimson mushroom cloud soared into the sky, faintly mixed with the wails and howls of ghosts and wolves.

Deep within the dense forest, a grey-robed elder of average stature stood in front of a colossal corpse, with the ground littered with numerous large pits billowing black smoke.

A blood-colored phantom with a green face and fangs emitted a chilling aura not far away.

"An Eighth Rank Mid Stage Scarlet Flame Leopard is just so-so. I hope the Lin Family’s small world contains precious resources."

The grey-robed elder muttered to himself.

Sun Mang, a Mahayana Mid Stage, hails from the Myriad Ghost Sect.

He collected the corpse and walked forward, the blood-colored phantom followed, and both the man and the ghost disappeared into the dense forest.

······

A series of undulating green mountains, tall and densely forested.

A tremendous roar shook the earth, and a huge golden mushroom cloud burst upwards, violently shaking the ground.

Thousands of miles away in the void, a beam of golden light lit up, transforming into a Golden Colossal Tiger with a pair of red fleshy wings on its back. The tiger, covered with flame-like patterns, was drenched in blood.

"Trying to escape? Not so easy."

A cold male voice came from the sky.

As soon as the voice fell, a wave of white sound swept over, rapidly icing the ground and filling the void with numerous white ice fragments, as if this part of the world was about to be frozen.

The Golden Colossal Tiger let out a roar toward the heavens, and a phantom tiger appeared in the nearby void, opening its mouth to emit a red sound wave that collided with the white one.

With a thunderous boom, the red sound wave instantly dissipated, and the Golden Colossal Tiger spat out a thick red flame to block the white sound wave.

A beam of white light descended from the sky, accurately hitting the Golden Colossal Tiger.

The body of the Golden Colossal Tiger rapidly froze, turning into a gigantic ice sculpture.

A piercing swoosh sounded, and a golden arrow glistening with spiritual light shot forth, hitting the ice sculpture, which shattered, and the Golden Colossal Tiger fell to the ground with a terrifying bloody hole in its head.

A miniature tiger flew out of the body, but before it could get far, a golden rosy light descended from the sky, enveloping the miniature tiger and sucking it into a Golden Gourd.

Two streaks of Escape Light flew over, one flickered and stopped, revealing the figures of a burly man in golden robes and a full-bodied woman in a blue dress.

"The Hanwu Black Tortoise is indeed powerful; even just its Dharmic Form can easily exterminate Eighth Rank Early Stage Monster Beasts."

The man in golden robes praised, a single gesture summoned the Golden Gourd into his sleeve.

"It’s a pity that not many clan elders know of the small world’s existence. My lineage’s ancestors do not know where the control hub of the small world is, I hope we can find it!"

The woman in the blue dress showed a look of longing.

Lin Wanyue, a Mahayana Early Stage, a descendant of the Lin Family.

"Let’s hope! It’s all good as long as we don’t run into Mahayana Cultivators from the Super Clans. With the Dharma Nature of the Hanwu Black Tortoise, usual Mahayana are no match for you."

The man in golden robes said.

Li Kai, a Mahayana Early Stage, Lin Wanyue’s Dao companion.

"There are many masters in the Cultivation Realm; we shouldn’t underestimate other Mahayana Cultivators. We still need to be cautious. After so many years, who knows how many of our clan members have reached the Mahayana Realm."

Lin Wanyue spoke softly.

At the height of the Lin Family’s power, the number of Cultivators exceeded one million. Many Lin Family Cultivators escaped one disaster, and Lin Wanyue’s ancestral lineage was among them.

"Let’s leave this place first! The small world is not small in size. I hope we can find the Lin Family’s resources stored in the small world before other Treasure Hunters."

Li Kai said.

According to the ancestors of Lin Wanyue’s lineage, the Lin Family had stored a sum of Cultivation Resources in the small world, but as to where, they did not know.

They collected the body of the Golden Colossal Tiger and left the place.

······

A vast and boundless black sea with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, thick silver lightning bolts striking down.

A hundred-zhang-long blue giant ship floated in the sky, with Shen Lang, Shen Peng, and Shen Chan standing on the deck, their expressions calm.

The sea within thousands of miles around had frozen over, and the ice layer continued to spread.

A gigantic black sea ox had been frozen, its massive body encased in ice.

It let out a loud roar, and a large number of black lightning arcs surged across its body, quickly shattering the ice.

A blue glow descended from the sky, landing on the black sea ox, which began to twist its huge body in extreme agony, emitting a painful scream.

Shen Jiu emitted a brilliant blue light, and a mini sea ox flew out of his body, sucked into his mouth by the blue glow, swallowed by him.

Instantly, the black sea ox lost its vital signs, its massive body floating on the sea’s surface.

Admiration filled Shen Li’s eyes, marveling at how effortlessly Shen Jiu had killed an Eighth Rank Early Stage Monster Beast. Truly impressive.

Shen Jiu stowed away the corpse of the black sea ox, then flew back to the deck with Shen Li.

"Master, according to what it knew, there is a powerful restriction on an island in the southwest direction."

Shen Jiu said.

"Southwest direction? Let’s go take a look."

Shen Long spoke gravely, pinching his spell, as the blue giant ship lit up with a dazzling blue light, flying towards the southwest.

Half an hour later, the blue giant ship came to a stop. Ahead was an island of vast area, dense with vegetation, devoid of lightning strikes, forming a stark contrast to the sea outside the island.

Shen Chan’s eyes blazed with blinding golden light, excitedly saying, "Master, there are many restrictions on the island. The restrictions on a peak are very strong; I can’t see clearly what’s inside, but it must be an Eighth Rank Formation."

Shen Lang’s right hand shone with brilliant blue light, which he slapped towards the void.

Thousands upon thousands of hundred-zhang-long blue water spears appeared out of the void, all plunging towards the island.

Thick green vines burst forth from the ground, rapidly weaving together into a green wall that blocked the blue water spears.

With a series of thunderous booms, the green wall was torn to shreds by the dense blue water spears, but new green vines quickly sprouted, forming another green wall anew.

At the same time, a giant green light barrier appeared, enveloping the entire island with a multitude of floral and grass patterns on its surface.

Shen Lang raised his right hand, and a blue light-flashing seal flew from his hand, instantly enlarging and smashing face-on.

The blue seal struck the green light barrier, which caved in before quickly returning to normal.

"So many years have passed, the Formation’s power has dwindled. It won’t be able to stop us many times!"

Shen Peng said in a deep voice.

Shen Peng’s body surged with golden lightning arcs, and he spat out a thick bolt of golden lightning, hitting the green light barrier.

A muffled sound echoed, but the green light barrier remained unscathed.

Shen Lang lifted his right hand, and three blue light-flashing flying daggers shot out, merging into one, transforming into a zhang-sized giant blue blade, striking the green light barrier.

There was a thunderous rumble, and the light of the green barrier slightly dimmed.

"I’ll do it! A Formation laid by the True Spirit Noble Family isn’t so easily broken."

Shen Long’s body glowed with a brilliant yellow light, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang-tall Yellow Giant Ape, overshadowing the skies.

The Yellow Giant Ape punched out, smashing into the green light barrier, which shattered like bubbles, breaking into pieces.

Shen Lang landed at the foot of a steep peak, with the upper part of the mountain enshrouded in green mist, obscuring the view inside.

At the base of the mountain stood a green stone stele over a hundred zhang tall, inscribed with the golden characters "Thousand Wood Peak".

There were several Spirit Medicine Gardens on the island; most of the Spiritual Medicines had withered away, but some Spirit Fruit trees were alive, with fruits hanging on them.

Shen Long did not immediately ascend the island; he needed to find the island’s control hub to stop the restrictions from operating.

Shen Lang strode towards the mountain, but before he could take five steps, a thunderclap sounded, and a thick silver lightning bolt tore through the sky, heading straight for Shen Lang.
