Chapter 549: Chapter 416: The Flesh and the West Emperor

The shadows tore through the flesh and charged at Lin Xing.

But in the next instant, the shadow had stopped midway in the air, like an insect trapped in amber, unable to move even slightly.

This was because a surging spiritual thought had completely enveloped the shadow at this moment.

Looking at the apparition of that shadow, Bai Yiyi exclaimed, "Is this... an evil spirit?"

The creature that crawled out from that mass of flesh initially looked like a clump of black flames. The black material all over its body kept subtly transforming like flames, yet maintaining a basic human shape.

This human form appeared very young, like a newborn baby, fixed in a posture of clawing and pouncing towards Lin Xing.

Lin Xing tried to ease the pressure of his spiritual thought slightly, only to find that the creature immediately pounced towards him again.

However, hindered by the spiritual thought, it struggled haphazardly as though mired in mud, progressing very slowly.

But in the next instant, a sudden change occurred.

There seemed to be a sharp, pointed horn slowly emerging from the center of the baby’s forehead.

Following that, the struggling body seemed to instantly cross the distance between them, its palm nearly touching Lin Xing’s Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye, the baby’s body was seized by a large hand.

As Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit slowly drifted back, watching his own physical body squeezing the still screaming and twisting dark baby in hand, he recalled the prior moments, still puzzled, "What... just happened?"

At that moment, Bai Yiyi, equally curious, examined the scene, "Is it alive?"

Lin Xing sensing the situation of the dark baby, could feel the aura of Ye Qianlang, Lou He Fei, Wang Dong, and several other powerhouses from the East Sea Prefecture, as if it was a congregation of thousands of villains.

But he could distinctly feel that the opponent had no thoughts whatsoever.

It was like it had no soul, nor a Primordial Spirit, giving him a sense purely void and blank.

"This thing, if I have to describe it, it can probably be called a demonized Immortal Artifact. It’s not a real living being after all."

"Maybe because of those beasts’ influence, this Immortal Artifact after losing control, harbors strong hostility towards my Primordial Spirit."

Bai Yiyi asked, "What do we do now? This Immortal Artifact seems unusable."

Lin Xing tilted his head, looking at the still struggling, ferocious, and murderous dark baby, stroked his chin and said, "If it truly is due to those beasts’ influence, perhaps things are actually simpler."

As he spoke, Lin Xing flicked his fingertips lightly, and invisible sharp auras had already started gathering in his palm.

path... 22 paths... 51 paths... 76 paths...

More and more sharp auras appeared, manifesting as one Heavenly River Time Shadow Sword after another in Lin Xing’s hand.

The originally formless and shapeless Protecting Tao Sword artifact, as the gathering number rapidly increased, also gradually seemed to turn into a beam of light.

When the count of Heavenly River Time Shadow Swords reached 100, sword marks began appearing across the surrounding landscape.

And the seized dark baby gradually stopped struggling, staring straight at the light in Lin Xing’s hand.

When the count surged to 300, the light in Lin Xing’s hand seemed to pierce through heaven and earth. The previously numb-looking villains in the city ruins also all began to tremble, bursting out with cries of terror.

The dark baby had completely ceased struggling, and the malevolent energy in its eyes slowly dissipated.

As the count of Heavenly River Time Shadow Swords in Lin Xing’s hand soared to 700, like a divine light slashing the sky and splitting the earth, it slowly pressed towards the dark baby’s head.

The atmosphere swept by the divine light emitted a series of dull thumps and intense heat, subsequently bringing forth a strong wind formed by layer upon layer of air waves.

Not far away on the streets, large swathes of rubble were blown straight into the sky, transforming into a shower of falling meteors.

The thousands of villains in the ruins were each shaken until blood oozed from every orifice.

Before the sword genuinely fell, the madness and murderous intent in the dark baby’s eyes had completely dissipated, even the outer shell of darkness vanished altogether.

Looking at the baby, now entirely returned to human form, only its innocent face and clear eyes remaining, Lin Xing tilted his head and said lightly, "It seems you are indeed easily persuaded, just like those beasts."

Gently spreading his palms, the Heavenly River Time Shadow Swords in his hand dispersed again, vanishing into the air like strands of hair.

Then he gently rolled his spiritual thoughts, and his will had already entered into the baby’s body.

The next moment, the baby suddenly expanded, rapidly growing layers of flesh, transforming into a teenager and then into a youth.

Seeing another person appear before her, Bai Yiyi exclaimed, "What is this now?"

Broken Sword said blandly, "What do you think Lin Xing’s current physical body is? Simply another artifact."

"This dark baby since it’s also his artifact, naturally can transform and evolve."

"Besides, this artifact originally had the capability to grow flesh, this aspect should be even simpler."

And Lin Xing, now controlling the body transformed from the White Bone God Slaying Saber, lightly punched out, creating a whirlwind.

Then, he demonstrated a set of Taiqing Long Fist that Master Bai had taught him, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder echoing continuously. His entire being transformed into a streak of lightning rushing back and forth in mid-air, leaving traces of afterimages.
