Emperor Yi Deng arrived at the Purple Snow Mountain, and a crimson sea surged through his eyes as he looked down at the ravaged ground.
"Judging from all of the strongholds, there were at least eight people involved. How strange … How could Laden not have detected an attack of this magnitude?"
Emperor Yi Deng fell silent as he stared at the ghastly hole in the center of the spell formation.
He made some calculations before flying toward a certain direction. He then stopped in front of a massive, inky-black crater. "What a terrifying power of lightning. To think that my son would die to tribulation lightning …"
A man stood in mid-air as crimson clouds surged and obscured the sky. It was as if the entire world had been plunged into hell.
He stood on the spot for a long time before turning toward the east. "There can only be one truth … Someone from the Celestial Court colluded with a spy from my tribe to kill my son while he was severely wounded! How detestable!"
Boom!
An extremely fearsome streak of crimson light tore through the sky toward the east.
Chaotic lightning suddenly fell from the sky to block the path of the streak of crimson light.
Another earth-shattering battle erupted, and the Dark Marshlands was once again struck by a devastating disaster. Mountains crumbled, rivers were cut off, and cities were reduced to rubble …
In the end, the streak of crimson light fled toward the center of the Dark Marshlands.
The lightning chased after it for over five thousand kilometers to no avail and began to turn back.
Thus, the battle drew to a conclusion, but the true impact was only just beginning.
Laden was a Return to Void Stage mighty figure with the highest chance of becoming a Dao Integration Stage True God, but he had fallen in the center of the Dark Marshlands. This news created a massive stir throughout the entire Dark Marshlands.
"My God, Laden is a mighty figure at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage! Who would dare to attack him? Is it a Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure?"
"Impossible! If it was a Dao Integration Stage mighty figure, they would definitely not be able to escape the detection of the emperors of the Divine Palace of Life. It was most likely another Return to Void Stage mighty figure."
"To think that someone would kill Emperor Yi Deng's son right under his nose! Bad * ss!"
"Apparently, a mysterious powerful being from the Celestial Court had colluded with a Blood Tribe mighty figure to do this. I wonder which one it was."
"The Dark Marshlands and the Celestial Court are going to be in turmoil …"
"That's none of our business! Let's find some blood to drink."
The Blood Tribe was like this. Even though they were discussing this matter fervently, they didn't have a strong sense of vengeance. Generally speaking, the battles they participated in had to be related to their own interests.
If there was a large group of Blood Breeds clamoring to avenge the death of an almighty being, the Blood Breeds would have been wiped out a long time ago. Even Emperor Yi Deng temporarily repressed his urge to seek revenge and chose to investigate the situation in secret. He wanted to stabilize the situation first.
He had no choice but to play it safe. He wasn't strong enough to fight against the one who used lightning. What else could he do?
News of Laden's death spread like wildfire across the Kingdom of the Nine States, and everyone in the Kingdom of the Nine States celebrated with the news that the Celestial Court was most likely responsible for Laden's death.
The Blood Tribe was a great enemy of the human race, so the fall of such a top-notch mighty figure was naturally a great thing for the human race. Furthermore, this was the doing of the Celestial Court, and the humans of the Kingdom of the Nine States once again experienced the power and reliability of the Celestial Court.
If they knew that the main culprits behind this incident were just a group of students from the Celestial Court and their subordinates, who knew what kind of expression they would be wearing?
An Lin and the others had already returned to Huang Quan City using the concealment cloaks provided to them by the Celestial Thearch. No one knew about this. Everything seemed to have returned to normal, and they resumed their idle lives.
The only difference was that there was now a small blade of grass swaying in the wind above An Lin's head.
"Pffft …" The adorable Miao Tian couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing An Lin's expression. "Haha … Big Brother An, your head is a little green, are you trying to tell us something?"
An Lin's expression darkened. "You don't know sh * t! Do you know anything about life? This blade of grass can give me power! "
Miao Tian burst into laughter and waved her hands. "Alright, alright, you're right, haha … I can't take it anymore, let me laugh for a while longer …"
An Lin left with a dark expression. What he had said was actually true.
After Bryce transformed into a blade of grass, he stood on An Lin's head and practiced photosynthesis, which allowed him to infuse a portion of his life force into An Lin's body.
In other words, if Bryce became stronger, he would also become stronger! This was an external cheat code. No matter how strange it was, An Lin wasn't going to turn it down. After all, he wasn't the type of person who paid attention to external appearances. Instead, he paid attention to inner qualities.
For example, he didn't know whether his dao partner-to-be, Xu Xiaolan, was beautiful or not, but he knew that Xu Xiaolan was a woman of extraordinary inner qualities and temperament. That was enough!
An Lin stood on the city wall in a daze. He had nothing better to do, and the homeroom teacher prohibited all forms of entertainment. He thought about it for a moment before dragging Xu Xiaolan over to play blind chess with him.
"Cannon eight, flat one." An Lin placed his hands on the wall and looked into the distance with a gloomy expression.
Xu Xiaolan's brows furrowed as she said in a gentle voice, "Rook three, forward nine."
"Pawn seven, flat six!" An Lin's eyes lit up.
The battle slowly became more intense, and in the end, Xu Xiaolan was checkmated by An Lin.
This was not only a contest of chess skills, but it was also a contest of memory, spatial logic, and mental fortitude.
An Lin won this battle through his own power!
"Hahaha … I won! Thank you for letting me win, Xiaolan!" An Lin was very elated.
Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes in an adorable manner. "Can you give me two rooks this time?"
"Sure, you can have both rooks, but you have to throw away a horse first."
"… Alright."
Thus, the two of them began to play blind chess again. It had to be said, it was quite an interesting game.
Xuanyuan Cheng stood outside the city and found an empty plot of land to ponder over his domain.
From time to time, terrifying explosions would erupt, causing the earth to tremor violently. Thankfully, the soldiers and students on the city wall were already used to this, and they no longer panicked. They looked up at the rising flames and soil, and they were quite pleased with the spectacle. Sometimes, they would even discuss the differences between this explosion and the last one.
Time passed by slowly, and another day passed by in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Xiao Cao was swaying from side to side atop An Lin's head.
The little fairy slowly opened her jewel-like eyes and stretched lazily. She could feel that her energy had been restored, and she was full of energy again.
She turned toward An Lin, who was still fast asleep, and a sly smile appeared on her face as she pinched An Lin's nose in a mischievous manner.
An Lin's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was feeling a little uncomfortable.
The little fairy repressed her laughter and continued to pinch his nose.
Slap!
A slap flew through the air and sent the little fairy flying.
Boom! The little fairy flew back like a cannonball, and a large hole was blasted into the city wall.
"Giant An Lin!" Tina flew back in a disheveled manner before looking up at An Lin's palm with an enraged expression.
An Lin was still fast asleep, so it was quite clear that the slap just then had been an unintentional one.
Cultivators with lower cultivation bases would have to be careful as pranks like this could easily be slapped to death.
Tina saw that An Lin was still unconscious, and a dazzling white light erupted from her hands before enshrouding An Lin.
Whoosh!
The two of them disappeared from this world.
In the next instant, the two of them appeared in the Divine Mirror World.
It was also at this moment that a mystical voice sounded in An Lin's ears.
This was like the judgment of the heavens, a paramount and inviolable voice.
"Wake up, Giant An Lin!!!"
