“This is impossible! A mere Qi Condensation Stage cultivator like you couldn't possibly possess such spatial techniques!” Yueyao, held firmly in Ye Lin's grasp, cried out in sheer terror.
Snatching someone across space was a supreme technique that only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could wield.
“So you are... a human Nascent Soul True Monarch?” Believing he had deduced the truth, Yueyao felt a wave of absolute despair. Before such a powerhouse, all his escape methods were nothing but a joke.
“What are you babbling about? Go down and reflect on things with your brother.”
Looking at the trembling Yueyao before him, Ye Lin did not hesitate. With a swing of the Sword of Original Sin in his hand, he cleanly decapitated him.
[Ding! You have slain a heinous Foundation Establishment Stage evil spirit. The trait 'The Strictest Father of Other Races' has been activated. You have obtained 600 years of other-race lifespan.
Your Luck Value has increased by 40 points. The trait 'Talent Forging Pool' has been activated. You have picked up the High-grade Thousand-Faced Life talent.
The Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda has automatically taken the evil spirit's corpse, and the Soaring Fairy Visualization Chart has drawn out its soul for refinement. You have accumulated a wisp of the Power of Sin, and you have accumulated a wisp of the Power of Heaven's Punishment...]
“Not a bad appetizer for a start.”
Casually pocketing their storage rings, Ye Lin walked into Zhenhai City with his eyes gleaming.
If he were to let out a sinister laugh right now, he would look exactly like a crazed arch-villain.
The people who still had the courage to set up stalls on the streets or buy goods shrank back in fear when they saw him.
But Ye Lin didn't care what others thought of him. Carrying the Sword of Original Sin, he was currently having the time of his life slaughtering his way through.
[Name: Yueming
Race: Dark evil spirit
Cultivation: Ninth Layer of the Qi Condensation Stage
Talent: Mid-grade Blood Poison Thorn
...]
[Name: Zitan
Race: Dark evil spirit
Cultivation: Fifth Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage
Talent: High-grade Spiritual Vertigo
...]
Ye Lin killed every evil spirit he laid eyes on. He slaughtered from East Street to West Street, and from the South District to the North District.
Wherever he passed, his hearty laughter echoed alongside endless agonizing screams. With a casual swing of his sword, the evil spirits were utterly wiped out.
“Bastard! How dare you slaughter us! Once the Venerables arrive, they will tear you to pieces!” one evil spirit roared in despair upon seeing Ye Lin's sheer ferocity.
“Cut the chatter. Die!” Ye Lin paid no heed to the threat, extinguishing the evil spirit before him with another slash.
His completely unbridled slaughter immediately alerted the two Golden Core Stage evil spirits who controlled the City Lord's Mansion of Zhenhai City.
Originally, five Golden Core evil spirits were stationed in Zhenhai City, but the other three had gone out to hunt human Golden Core Venerables, leaving only two present.
They were a burly man over three meters tall and a charming, beautiful woman dressed in purple.
“Concealing your cultivation at the Qi Condensation Stage to come here and use our evil race for target practice? Bold move.”
“Seeing your extraordinary attire and formidable combat power, you must be a genius from a great sect outside the Tianyuan Dynasty.
Our evil race has long reached an agreement with the mighty experts of your human race. All living beings in this entire Tianyuan Dynasty are food for our evil race, to be disposed of at our leisure, and the great human sects will never interfere.
So state your name. If you truly are a genius from a great sect, this Venerable can pretend today's events never happened.”
The two Golden Core Stage evil Venerables who had stepped through the air did not immediately attack Ye Lin. Instead, they calmly sent him a voice transmission, revealing a shocking secret.
Hearing their words, Ye Lin couldn't help but pause in surprise.
The entire Tianyuan Dynasty had actually been traded to the evil race as blood food by powerful human experts? Which expert could be such a beast?
However, now was clearly not the time to ponder this. The two evil Venerables were still waiting for him to deliver a massive payout, and he had no time to waste.
Without a single frame of delay, he directly flung over a dozen Ten Thousand Swords Talismans—each capable of obliterating a Golden Core Stage cultivator—into the sky.
Rumble!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The moment the Ten Thousand Swords Talismans were thrown, terrifying bursts of Golden Core sword qi blasted a massive hole in the void.
The sheer destructiveness of the scene was utterly terrifying to behold.
However, the perception and reaction speeds of the Golden Core Stage were far beyond ordinary. Even though Ye Lin had struck with extreme speed and surprise, the purple-dressed woman and the burly man still managed to react instantly.
Though they were left somewhat disheveled by the shockwaves, they ultimately sustained no major injuries.
“Arrogant junior! Do you truly think we do not dare to strike you down?”
Seeing that Ye Lin had not only refused to identify himself and turn swords into plowshares, but had instead attacked them without hesitation, the purple-dressed woman and the burly man were thoroughly enraged.
Their evil race indeed had an agreement with the human powerhouses not to hunt the geniuses of great sects, but if a human genius insisted on seeking death, killing him would not violate the pact.
Faced with the roars of the two evil Venerables, Ye Lin completely ignored them.
In truth, he had initially planned to directly deploy Nascent Soul Stage talismans and formations, knowing that Golden Core Stage cultivators were not so easily slain.
But on second thought, the power of Nascent Soul Stage talismans and formations was too terrifying, comparable to the absolute silence of heaven and earth.
If he unleashed them, the tens of thousands of mortals and numerous low-level cultivators in Zhenhai City would likely be entirely obliterated.
While he was no saint, he was not an unprincipled beast either.
“Hehehe, since I can't use talismans, I'll just have to slay you with my own hands.”
Looking at the stunned expressions of the two Golden Core evil Venerables, Ye Lin suddenly laughed aloud. Without hesitation, he reached out and made a fierce grasping motion toward the sky.
The spatial divine ability, Divine Eye Heaven-Seizing Hand, was instantly unleashed.
[Ding! It is detected that you are in combat with an other-race entity. The trait 'The Strictest Father of Other Races' has automatically activated. Your damage against other races is increased by 1,000%, and your damage reduction from other races is increased by 90%.]
Boom!
As Ye Lin grasped the empty air, a supreme spatial force instantly manifested, dragging the burly man down from the sky straight into his grip.
“Die!”
The evil Venerable who had been snatched by the mysterious power was filled with horror. However, as a Golden Core Stage cultivator, he still possessed the instincts of a powerhouse.
Thus, the moment he was grabbed by Ye Lin, he unleashed a full-strength palm strike aimed straight at Ye Lin's chest without a second thought.
But before his palm could even connect, his head was sliced off by the Sword of Original Sin in Ye Lin's hand, which radiated a blood-red and purplish-black aura.
[Ding! You have received a full-strength strike from a peak Golden Core Stage cultivator. The passive effect of the 'Heavenly Dao Seal' has been triggered, reducing damage by 100 times.
The damage reduction effect of the trait 'The Strictest Father of Other Races' has been triggered, reducing the damage by another 90%.
Final calculation: You have received damage equivalent to a strike from an ordinary First Layer of the Qi Condensation Stage cultivator.]
Just as the burly evil Venerable's full-strength blow struck Ye Lin's body, the game's damage calculation notification rang in his ears.
“A full-strength blow from a peak Golden Core Stage cultivator was reduced to a mere strike from an ordinary First Layer of the Qi Condensation Stage cultivator? This damage reduction is indeed absurdly broken, but it feels amazing.”
Seeing the final damage calculation, an even more excited look appeared on Ye Lin's face.
With his current Circulating Heaven Stellar Physique providing 31 times his normal defense, let alone a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator, even a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator might not necessarily break through his guard.
Thus, when this seemingly ferocious palm strike landed on his body, it couldn't even force him to take a single step back.
“How... how is this possible?” The decapitated burly evil Venerable was utterly dumbfounded when he saw his full-strength strike land on Ye Lin with absolutely no effect.
“When did the human race produce such a monstrous genius?” With his physical body destroyed, the burly evil Venerable's heart trembled in fear. He did not hesitate to attach his soul to his black Golden Core, transforming into a streak of light to flee into the distance.
“Ziqing! This kid is too bizarre! Take me with you and leave Zhenhai City first! Once the other three return, we will crush him together...”
As he fled at extreme speed, the burly evil Venerable sent a voice transmission to the beautiful woman in purple.
But before he could finish his sentence, he discovered to his absolute horror that his soul had been severed directly at the neck. Clearly, the defense-penetrating and absolute soul-slaying properties of the Sword of Original Sin had taken effect.
“That sword strike actually cut through my soul as well? How is that possible?” The burly evil Venerable's soul was filled with immense reluctance, but he ultimately perished on the spot.
[Ding! You have slain an extremely wicked Golden Core Stage evil spirit. You have obtained 1,200 years of other-race lifespan, your Luck Value has increased by 130 points, and you have picked up an Earth-grade talent...]
The moment the burly evil Venerable perished, the game notification rang in Ye Lin's ears.
Boom!
Having witnessed Ye Lin's bizarre and terrifying power, the beautiful woman in the distance, Ziqing, did not hesitate to frantically burn her Golden Core, fleeing into the distance at maximum speed.
“Damn it, damn it! Spatial techniques again, and another instant kill of a peak Golden Core Stage cultivator!”
“This is no human genius—this is a human Nascent Soul True Monarch!” Ziqing screamed in her heart in absolute terror as she fled with all her might.
But she couldn't understand. Their evil race's high-level executives had clearly traded benefits and reached an agreement with the powerful human experts. Why would a human Nascent Soul True Monarch come to meddle in their affairs?
“Stop struggling in vain. Obediently become the nourishment for my path ahead, hehehe...”
At that moment, a whisper that sounded like a demon's suddenly echoed from behind Ziqing.
Immediately after, she was dragged back by a massive spatial hand.
“You... you demon!” Seeing herself fall into the hands of an ecstatic Ye Lin, Ziqing's face was painted with absolute despair and terror.
To be called a demon by a heinous evil spirit Venerable, one could only imagine how sinister and unhinged Ye Lin's expression was at this moment!
