Chapter 80

Qingyan City

Everything was thriving, bustling with traffic, and everyone wore the same smile, as if time had frozen at that moment.

“It’s an illusion array.”

“Break it!”

Li Qiudao took the lead, unleashing a series of mysterious symbols with a flick of his palm. The once peaceful scene shattered like a broken mirror, collapsing piece by piece. A rotten, moldy stench wafted through the air, accompanied by the crisp sound of blood dripping.

Everyone looked up, seeing a massive blood cocoon floating in the air, pulsating as if it were alive, like a heartbeat.

The red light within the blood cocoon surged violently, shooting up into the clouds and tearing a rift in the sky, linking to some unknown territory. The faint aura emanating from it sent chills down their spines.

“What… what kind of monster is that?!”

Even the ten king-level powerhouses felt a sense of dread; this creature was completely beyond their comprehension!

“Jie jie jie, I didn’t expect you to find out so quickly!”

A strange laughter echoed, and grotesque monsters crawled out from all corners of Qingyan City—seven in total, each exuding a powerful aura, blocking the way of Lin Xuan and the others.

“You are… the Eight Elite Generals of King Chu Ling!”

“Where’s that beast, King Chu Ling? Why has Qingyan City turned into this?!”

Bai Zhanwang was furious, his terrifying presence, at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm, sweeping over like a tide. The slaughter of an entire city was a tremendous blow to the Dayan Dynasty!

“Our king, jie jie jie, didn’t you see our king?”

One of the terrifying monsters laughed heartily. “When our king returns, the world will be a pure land, and everyone can become immortals!”

“Absurd!” The crowd was furious; how could these inhuman monsters be called people?

However, someone quickly realized, gazing in shock at the giant cocoon above.

“Could it be… that thing is King Chu Ling?”

“This is the heroic figure of our king!” one of the monsters openly admitted, gazing adoringly at the blood cocoon above, like a fanatic.

Lin Xuan stared at the terrifying blood cocoon, sensing a dreadful existence about to awaken within. The rift connecting the heavens and earth revealed an eerie feeling, as if linking to an unknown region and transmitting information!

“Strike swiftly! We absolutely cannot let that rift open completely!”

Lin Xuan whispered, feeling that whatever lay within that rift was even more terrifying than the monsters hidden in the blood cocoon!

“Kill!”

With Lin Xuan’s order, there was no time for further words. Countless brilliant divine lights intertwined, and the terrifying divine powers collided, instantly creating a shocking upheaval, flattening everything around them!

“Get out of the way!”

Lin Xuan was enveloped in thunderous lightning, as if countless thunder dragons were coiling around him, hair flying wildly. The terrifying surge of energy became a cloud of smoke, engulfing everything.

In front of him stood a monster at about the seventh level of the Divine Realm, its body flashing with dazzling red light, its overwhelming aura thick with bloodlust. The number of lives lost at its hands was probably in the hundreds of thousands!

“Thunder King Body, activate!”

The lightning surged into the sky, cleansing the aura of evil. At this moment, Lin Xuan radiated light, donned in armor forged from thunder, brimming with valor, his eyes sparkling like stars. Endless lightning wrapped around him, resembling an invincible god of war, sweeping across the world!

Lin Xuan instantly appeared in front of the monster, and with a punch, he struck it.

This punch was like the pinnacle of strength, causing the sky to rumble. The entire void seemed to warp, and the upper part of the monster’s body was obliterated into dust!

Only the lower half of its body and two legs remained, writhing in agony. Normal humans would be dead beyond resurrection at this point, but the ones transformed into monsters still retained a tenacious vitality. As long as there was a breath left in them, they could not be considered truly dead.

“Be careful of this kind of monster; they won’t die unless completely obliterated!”

Lin Xuan warned, observing the monster struggling to reassemble its body.

He then struck again, shattering the remaining half of the monster’s body.

Upon hearing Lin Xuan’s warning, the others were taken aback, their vigilance heightened and their respect for Lin Xuan’s strength deepened.

In just one day, the young man before them had slain two formidable monsters of the Divine Realm!

“This guy… is truly terrifying!”

Li Qiudao watched as Lin Xuan killed a monster with a single punch, his eyes flickering with silver runes, like a galaxy collapsing, brilliant and dazzling.

At that moment, his dark face emanated an inexplicable aura, and the enormous array diagram spread out, making the world seem to evolve into two colors, black and white, distinctly defined.

“Lin Xuan is this impressive; I cannot let him overshadow me!”

“Shatter, Nine Heavens!”

As he spoke, countless thunder dragons fell from the sky, sweeping across all directions as if a deity were ending the world!

Lin Xuan was startled, turning back to see the aura coming from Li Qiudao, causing him to feel apprehensive.

This guy… truly hasn’t used his full strength!

However, now was not the time to dwell on that. Lin Xuan focused on the distant blood cocoon; the main priority was the monsters inside!

A golden sword hilt appeared in Lin Xuan’s hand, a sharp intent sweeping through the heavens.

“Righteousness in the world, the essence of virtue endures.”

“I seek not to slay immortals but to cut down demons and gods!”

The majestic sword light tore through the blood mist and pierced the heavens, its edge revealing itself, a sword infused with the momentum of the universe, transformed into a beam of light, aimed at the blood cocoon.

Just as the sword light was about to strike, the world fell silent, as if time had paused.

“You deceive this king!”

A piercing scream came from within the giant cocoon, and the entire blood cocoon erupted in dazzling red light, transforming into a terrifying beam, turning the world crimson.

“Jie jie jie, I didn’t deceive you; you willingly offered everything!”

“The Gate of Hell, open for me!”

The original rift quickly expanded, revealing a blood-red portal that loomed in the sky like a gigantic eye, radiating an aura of catastrophe that sent chills down their spines.

“Ding! The task of exterminating the Chu Ling Royal Mansion is complete; you have earned one chance for a mid-level invincibility inheritance lottery.”

Hearing the system prompt, Lin Xuan couldn’t feel happy this time.

He sensed that at this moment, great trouble was about to descend!
