Chapter 3054: Chapter 3074: He Can’t Kill Him, But That Doesn’t Mean I Can’t!

Lin Chen’s gaze fell upon his avatar, "How do you feel?"

The avatar assessed its condition and replied, "Quite a bit of life force has been depleted, but... it’s okay. The Demonic Beast wasn’t very strong, and I didn’t infuse it with too much life force."

After a pause, the avatar added, "To activate the array formation inside the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror, life force must be infused in advance. The amount of life force determines the power of the activated formation."

"To deal with stronger enemies, the requisite amount of life force will need to be determined through multiple tests."

Lin Chen understood, in the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Realm, the more life force infused into the formation, the greater the power exhibited.

However, the exact ratio of life force input to power output, that ratio remained unclear.

Of course, there was also good news: Lin Chen’s avatar could use the Yin-Yang Water and Fire Realm, and the impact of life force depletion would only affect Lin Chen’s avatar, not his true self.

This point was actually quite understandable. Lin Chen’s Avatar Ability belonged to Bloodline Divine Power, which was profound and mysterious. The avatar was originally transformed from Lin Chen’s essence blood, a part of Lin Chen’s life force to create, possessing a unique life; therefore, it could manipulate the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror.

The more essence blood used to create the avatar, the more robust its life force. Consequently, the higher the realm and combat power of the avatar, and similarly, the greater the power it could exert through the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror.

However, should such an avatar perish, Lin Chen would also suffer harm and vulnerability.

Lin Chen finished testing the Yin Yang Slaying Immortal Technique and stowed away the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror, returning to the Linglong Tower.

Zhen Liuxue’s gaze landed on Lin Chen: "How was it?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly, "Just a brief test, no issues. But this thing harms life force. It’s better not to use it unless absolutely necessary."

Zhen Liuxue’s eyes gleamed with an inexplicable anticipation, "If the user is a Quasi-Saint, could it kill a Quasi-Saint?"

Lin Chen instantly knew what Zhen Liuxue was thinking and said with a wry smile, "I doubt it’s that easy. If it could easily kill a Quasi-Saint, then Huo Tianyu probably wouldn’t have disappeared so quietly."

Zhen Liuxue reflected, "Huo Tianyu was not a Quasi-Saint."

Lin Chen immediately understood.

To kill an enemy with the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror, one must first inject sufficient life force as fuel. The life force of a Quasi-Saint was incomparable to non-Quasi-Saints, likely many times more profound. Even if a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal were to sacrifice their life force, it may not be enough to kill a Quasi-Saint; at most, it might barely scratch them.

Huo Tianyu couldn’t kill a Quasi-Saint, but that didn’t mean Zhen Liuxue couldn’t.

If the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror was effective against Quasi-Saints, and Zhen Liuxue was willing to risk her life, then she could use the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror to kill Sidao Wang and avenge her master.

Zhen Liuxue would not hesitate to forsake even her own life to kill Sidao Wang, let alone sacrifice some life force.

Lin Chen didn’t immediately dismiss Zhen Liuxue’s idea, instead gently spoke, "When we get the chance, we can put it to the test."

Zhen Liuxue breathed a sigh of relief, "Good!"

She had been worried that Lin Chen might not agree to her using the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror—not because she thought Lin Chen stingy, but because Lin Chen might fear that she and Sidao Wang would both be badly injured in the clash, disagreeing with her desperate approach.

Lin Chen was rather pleased, though trapped in the Demon World, forced to seek refuge in the Great Wilderness Palace, with no set date for his return to the Immortal Realm. Yet, discovering the Yin Yang Slaying Immortal Technique was no small gain.

Despite its significant side effects, having it in his possession was like having a massive weapon which might come in handy at any moment.

Zhen Liuxue pulled out the pair of black arrows from before, gesturing towards Lv Shuyi, "Tell me about them."

Lv Shuyi answered candidly, "These are Heartless Mother and Child Arrows, a top-grade Spiritual Treasure with tremendous power. In regular times, one can charge them with spiritual power. In a critical moment, they can be released instantly with astonishing might. Most importantly, releasing the Heartless Mother and Child Arrows doesn’t require the circulation of spiritual power, making them difficult to defend against."

"In a close-range surprise attack, they could be quite lethal. If you weren’t a Quasi-Saint, you definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand a hit from this arrow—it could seriously injure or even kill you..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Is this what got me?"

Zhen Liuxue nodded, handing the Heartless Mother and Child Arrows to Lin Chen, "Yes, she just raised her hand, and you were shot and exploded."

Lin Chen’s Divine Sense delved into them and quickly perceived their intricacies.

The Heartless Mother and Child Arrows contained an array formation capable of absorbing a vast amount of spiritual power, which Lv Shuyi referred to as charging. At non-combat times, energy could be infused into them, turning the arrows into sleeve arrows armed at the flick of a wrist, capable of being triggered in an instant and catching one off guard.

If used in a head-on battle, this Magical Treasure wouldn’t be particularly extraordinary, at best a well-refined product. Other than that, it wasn’t much different from other battle treasures, but for close-range covert attacks, it was highly effective.

Apart from the Heartless Mother and Child Arrows, there was also that treasure resembling an ancient turtle shell, another top-grade Spiritual Treasure with formidable defensive capabilities. However, since Lin Chen had the Heavenly Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Tower, he didn’t really need the turtle shell.

In addition to those, Lin Chen also seized many other powerful Magical Treasures and natural treasures, but they weren’t particularly useful to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen already possessed two Innate Spiritual Treasures, let alone top-grade Spiritual Treasures. Although these items were decent, he had no use for them, but he could offer them to others for their use if needed.

After an interrogation, Lin Chen made further inquiries about past stories, but they were of no significant value.

"Seal her powers and imprison her temporarily."

Lin Chen was cautious, concerned that Lv Shuyi might have sabotaged the Yin Yang Slaying Immortal Technique. He feared a final trap before her demise, so he spared her life for the time being.

Since she was now in the Linglong Tower, she couldn’t possibly escape; there was no need to rush to kill her.

Thus, the journey to the Si Xian City reached a successful conclusion.

Lin Chen had visited Lv Shuyi, but others didn’t know their conversation’s content; he had left after the visit, and it was only later that Lv Shuyi disappeared. No one would connect Lv Shuyi’s disappearance to Lin Chen.

The incident at the secret palace was meant to be kept secret. Zhao Yang and Chen Song, for their lives, wouldn’t speak carelessly. They might even absolve themselves of any responsibility, burying the secret completely.

Lin Chen set off on his way back to the Great Wilderness Palace, pleasantly and smoothly.

As soon as Lin Chen entered the Great Wilderness Palace, not having stayed long, Guard Commander Shi Haoyu, with an icy expression, came to the Dawn Camp.

"The Palace Lord wants to see you!"

Lin Chen had previously promised the Grand Palace lord to assist her with a matter. Barely having settled in, the message arrived, evidently someone had been watching him closely, ready to report his return immediately.

Was the Palace lord that anxious?
