The only fortunate thing was that Lin Yun remembered that this Greater Devil had been seriously injured several millennia ago and thus had no choice but to become the Incarnation of the Thousand Souls Sacrifice. In the end, it was obtained by the ancestor of the Charlotte Family, and it was far from recovering its peak power. At most, it would have the power of a peak True Spirit Magic Tool.
"Eh? A Human Mage?" The sinister face formed by the black smoke looked at Lin Yun, its voice sounding like it came from the depths of hell. "Let me see, tsk tsk tsk, I truly didn't expect that you would be able to kill my host at such a young age …"
Lin Yun only took a small step back and recalled the Upper Rank Flame Spirit. He was holding the Spiritual Magic Staff and the Book of Death in his hands, fully on guard.
"Oh, turns out to be like this, I understand …" The sinister face looked at Lin Yun for a long time before bursting with unpleasant laughter. "Is that gem on you, Human Mage?"
"What gem?"
"Human Mage, that gem isn't something you should touch, it will bring disaster to you and your Family. Hand over that gem now and I'll let you live, or you and your Family will be weeping in the flames of hell when I find you …"
"I don't know what gem it is …"
"It looks like you have chosen to be my enemy …"
"Stop trying to mystify me!" Lin Yun didn't waste any time and poured mana into the Book of Death, making the Truth Chapter blossom with a dazzling light once again.
Countless characters appeared.
"Fuck, Human Mage, you dare to attack me?!" As the characters appeared, the sinister face let out a world-shaking roar. But then, the roar turned into a cry of alarm. "Impossible, how could you control such power!"
"I say, you should just obediently slumber in the Charlotte Family's Ancestral Land, you don't have much time left …" Only Lin Yun knew how much pressure he was under. This was the Incarnation of a Peak True Spirit Magic Tool, it was almost on the level of the Star Sage. Even if it was only a small part of its power, it wasn't something Lin Yun could bear.
The only thing Lin Yun could rely on was the Truth Chapter.
The power of the Truth Chapter could see through all falsehood and destroy all evil. It could be said to be the natural nemesis of such evil existences.
As expected …
As Lin Yun frantically urged the power of the Truth Chapter, the sinister face formed by the black smoke finally revealed a trace of fear.
"Human Mage, you will pay for what you have done today. Just you wait, just you wait. I will find you in three months. At that time, my true body will descend, and you and your family will cry and wail in the flames of hell!"
After a series of roars, the sinister face formed by the black smoke began to dissipate in the air. At the same time, the evil and terrifying magical waves also disappeared.
"Phew …" When the last trace of mana fluctuation disappeared, Lin Yun finally let out a long sigh.
From the looks of it, Lin Yun had only said a few words and activated the Truth Chapter. However, the pressure he had felt was unimaginable to those who had not personally experienced it.
The one that descended just now was a genuine Great Devil …
An existence that could kill Heaven Rank powerhouses.
Although the power that descended was only a small portion, that kind of suppression truly existed. There was a gap of two ranks between the two sides, and just standing in front of it, Lin Yun had no choice but to bear a huge amount of pressure.
Ross Merlin and William Merlin were proof of that.
"How was it?" Ross Merlin and William Merlin waited until the sinister face disappeared before slowly walking over. The two were pale and covered in cold sweat. The pressure from that sinister face had been too frightening. The two stood a few dozen meters away and felt as if they had been enveloped by an unparalleled power. If they were careless, they might have been devoured by that power.
That wasn't a power that mortals could contend with.
"It's nothing, let's go back first." Lin Yun shook his head. He didn't want to stay there any longer. The power of a Great Devil had descended here, so it would quickly attract the attention of many powerhouses. Lin Yun didn't want to be pushed to the heart of the struggle at this time.
After hurriedly saying a few words, the three of them passed through the ruined street and found a carriage not far away.
Half an hour later, the three of them returned to the Merlin Family Manor.
After a simple rest, Ross Merlin got up and said his goodbyes. But just as he stood up, Ross Merlin hesitated, because he suddenly recalled that after killing Hanson, his younger cousin had said that he wanted to talk to him about that map.
Ross Merlin naturally didn't want to give up on that map.
But after seeing how frightening his younger cousin was, Ross Merlin felt a lingering fear. Just standing in front of that cousin made Ross Merlin feel nervous, let alone taking the initiative to talk about that map.
In the end, Lin Yun looked at him and said, "Let's sit down first …"
"Yes, yes …" Ross Merlin promptly nodded and sat down.
"Tell me first, what does that map mean to you?"
"This …" Ross Merlin hadn't expected his younger cousin to ask about his greatest secret right from the start. Ross Merlin suddenly felt awkward.
If it had been any other question, Ross Merlin definitely wouldn't have hesitated.
But this …
This could be said to be Ross Merlin's greatest secret.
At that time, Ross Merlin had been suppressed by Stan Watson. He could only watch as Stan Watson left him in the dust like a nightmare. At that time, Ross Merlin didn't despair, because Ross Merlin knew that there was a map that would allow him to reach the peak in a single bound. He would be able to catch up to Stan Watson and all the other geniuses, allowing him to walk on the path to the peak of magic.
But now, his younger cousin's first question was to make him divulge such an important secret. At this time, Ross Merlin truly hesitated.
It wasn't that Ross Merlin was too suspicious …
Rather, it was because this secret was too important to Ross Merlin.
This was related to Ross Merlin's future magic path.
Everyone knew that Ross Merlin was only a branch member of the Merlin Family, and his bloodline was extremely thin. He was only an ordinary mage before the age of twenty, but he advanced by leaps and bounds after that. Not only did he become a 5th Rank High Mage, but he also obtained the most powerful Magic Conducting Rune of the Merlin Family, the Endless Spring.
But only Ross Merlin knew that this was all because of that secret.
Or rather, it was a part of that secret, a very, very small part.
It was just a very small part, but it made Ross Merlin what he was today. If he obtained the complete secret, what kind of level would Ross Merlin reach?
"Cousin Mafa, this …" Ross Merlin opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to say it if you don't want to." Hearing this, Lin Yun knew that this map was very important to Ross Merlin.
As for how important it was, Lin Yun didn't have time to care.
No matter how important it was, could it surpass the entire era?
"No, no, no, Cousin Mafa, that's not what I meant …" But he hadn't expected that Lin Yun would shake his head, scaring Ross Merlin half to death. He thought that this distant cousin was angry, so he didn't think too much and promptly said, "Cousin Mafa, this map is related to a secret that can make the Endless Spring transform …"
"Hmm?"
Lin Yun froze when he heard this.
At first, Lin Yun thought that this map might give Ross Merlin a lot of wealth, or perhaps a profound Meditation Law Set, but Lin Yun truly didn't expect that it would be a secret that could make the Endless Spring complete its transformation.
After all, the Endless Spring was the most powerful Magic Conducting Rune of the Merlin Family. In the entire Andalusia Kingdom, it could be considered a first-rate Magic Conducting Rune.
Once it completed its transformation, it would be the Mana Sea, a true peak Magic Conducting Rune!
'Hold on, that's not right …'
'Wasn't the Mana Sea already lost in the 3rd Dynasty?
The Mana Sea only reappeared at the peak of the future. When Lin Yun chose his Magic Conducting Rune, the Mana Sea was a candidate, but he later chose the more powerful Magic Array.
But this didn't mean that the Mana Sea wasn't powerful enough.
Even at the peak of the Magic Era, the Mana Sea was famous for its power. It was known as one of Noscent's first-rate Magic Conducting Runes, and who knew how many powerful mages chose the Mana Sea path.
It was just that it couldn't compare to the Magic Array.
After all, the Magic Array was too special.
It was above all Magic Conducting Runes, and it wasn't just the Mana Sea that couldn't compare to it. No Magic Conducting Rune could compare to it.
"You all know that I was only a child of a side branch of the Merlin Family, and the Merlin Family's bloodline was already very weak. I'm not like you, William, who was born a genius and could advance by leaps and bounds on the magic path. I won't hide it from you, I was only a 1st Rank Mage when I was twenty …"
"I've heard people talk about this, and I feel very strange, why did you …" William Merlin nodded.
"Haha, maybe my luck was good enough …" Since he had already started, Ross Merlin didn't mind continuing. He smiled and slowly sat down. "At first, I thought that I would never be able to become a Great Mage, but I didn't expect that when I was twenty, I would enter a shabby library in Paladin. I originally wanted to copy incantations, but in the end, I found a section of Meditation Law Set in a shabby magic book …"
