At this thought, Lin Jin was stunned.
'This can't be a coincidence, right? ' Lin Jin grumbled inwardly. Now that the immortal emperor's immortal palm was pierced through, the spell was broken and Lin Jin could move again. He immediately summoned Xiao Huo back to his side. At the same time, blood gushed out of his body, forming a floating sea of blood above his head.
Only then did he feel a sense of safety.
Meanwhile, the 'shadow' was already engaged in a battle with the immortal emperor above the clouds. The shadow was currently wielding an icicle sword. Lin Jin had no idea where he got it but he guessed that it was most likely created by condensing the water from the Four Seas Gourd with extreme frost energy.
Immortal Emperor Hua Ling was fierce but this shadow was even fiercer.
Lin Jin suddenly thought of something else. If this shadow could move on its own, why did it hide itself? Lin Jin watched the battle in the sky. The terrifying spell could easily destroy a large part of the immortal palace. A battle like this wasn't something Lin Jin could participate in.
There were many questions, but for now, it seemed like this mysterious and powerful shadow was helping Lin Jin. This was obvious from how the shadow managed to destroy the immortal energy palm earlier.
Putting aside the other party's motive for doing so, it was true that he had just saved his life.
At first, Lin Jin was worried about the 'shadow'. But after seeing the shadow gaining the upper hand with the Four Seas Gourd, Lin Jin no longer worried.
When she looked at the book building again, she had almost become one with the surrounding Origin Painting World.
Compared to the 'shadow' Lin Jin didn't understand, Shu Xiao Lou was clearly more trustworthy. Hence, Lin Jin hoped that Shu Xiao Lou could hurry up and take control of the Unending Nature Painting as soon as possible. This was the safest way.
At that time, even if he couldn't win, he would be able to escape. Shu Xiao Lou controlled the Supreme Mountain River Diagram and could directly seal off this painting world, then instantly bring him to the first painting world, or even directly leave the Supreme Mountain River Diagram.
This was the advantage of having the Unending Nature Painting.
The battle in the sky grew louder and louder. Even the sea of clouds in the nine-heavens world was pierced through in several places. Some were even flooded with seawater and sealed in ice.
Although Lin Jin only managed to catch a glimpse of the battle, he was already stunned by what he saw.
"We can't afford to offend him!" Lin Jin mumbled to himself. All he could do now was wait. Also, since Shadow had taken his Four Seas Freedom Gourd, he had to get it back.
As time passed, the intense battle could no longer be seen from below. However, they could still hear the muffled sounds coming from the Ninth Heaven.
Occasionally, a light would appear between the clouds.
Suddenly, a loud sound came from the Nine Heavens. In the next moment, the Nine Heavens fell silent.
The sudden silence from the previous chaos was rather unsettling. Lin Jin was stunned as well. Something was clearly off.
It was clear that the outcome of the battle above the Nine Heavens had already been decided.
However, Lin Jin had no idea who would win.
"Shu Xiao Lou, is there still no results on your side?" Lin Jin turned to Xiao Shu anxiously. By now, only a small part of Xiao Shu's silhouette remained outside. Ninety-nine percent of him had entered the Origin Art World and was probably going to end soon.
Just then, Lin Jin sensed something behind him. Turning around, he saw Shadow standing behind him with a bloody head in his hand.
It was a frightening scene.
Firstly, Lin Jin had no idea when Shadow appeared behind him. This meant that Shadow's movement skill was extremely strange, so strange that even Lin Jin and his pet beast couldn't detect it.
Also, the head in Shadow's hand was wearing an emperor's crown. It clearly belonged to the immortal emperor above the Nine Heavens.
'Oh my god, did this guy just kill an immortal emperor? '
Although it was a fake immortal emperor who only had a trace of the immortal emperor's immortal aura, he was still a peerless immortal emperor. Lin Jin couldn't even take one hit from him and yet, Shadow managed to kill such an existence.
Lin Jin stopped moving. Beside him, Xiao Huo let out a low growl. However, it was obvious that Xiao Huo was extremely wary of Shadow.
Of course, if Shadow wanted to do something now, no one could stop him. Lin Jin never expected such a terrifying existence to be hidden within the Unending Nature Landscape.
If this matter were to spread, Lin Jin would immediately become the world's number one expert.
Even true immortals like Sage Miao Yan and Sage Mystic Moon might not be his match.
However, when Lin Jin compared himself to the Rank 9 immortal devouring beast, he immediately came to a conclusion. Although the shadow was strong, he was probably weaker than the Rank 9 immortal devouring beast.
The shadow was now less than three feet away from Lin Jin. Still, he could only see the silhouette of the shadow but not its facial features. The shadow first glanced at the Four Seas Freedom Gourd in his hand before reluctantly handing it back to Lin Jin. Then, holding the immortal emperor's head with both hands, he turned and walked away.
Lin Jin wanted to say something but he swallowed his words back down.
What should he say?
At a time like this, staying silent was the wisest choice.
Perhaps he would miss out on many secrets. Perhaps he would never be able to find answers to some of his questions. But this was the safest and safest choice.
Seeing how the shadow was hugging the man's head as if he was hugging a lover, Lin Jin was ninety percent sure that the shadow wasn't normal. To communicate with an abnormal being that couldn't even be considered human, there must be something wrong with this person as well.
Since Lin Jin was a normal person, he decided not to take any risks.
As he stared at the shadow's back, Lin Jin had a feeling that the shadow's fluttering clothes must be luxurious. And that fluttering ribbon reminded him of the Immortal Palace's Empress.
Lin Jin had seen the Immortal Emperor's portrait in the Book of Immortals, so naturally, he had seen the Immortal Queen's portrait as well. Now, both of them were strangely similar.
Lin Jin wasn't making wild guesses. The shadow was hugging the Immortal Emperor's head as if he was hugging a precious treasure. This was an action that only lovers would do. So who was the Immortal Emperor's lover?
Only the Immortal Queen.
Besides, Lin Jin was reminded of something else. Back at the Immortal Queen's spirit pond, the Four Seas Freedom Gourd had automatically swallowed all the water in the spirit pond. Because of this, Lin Jin was almost ganged up on by many immortals. Hence, the memory of that incident was deeply etched in his mind.
That spirit pond was the Immortal Queen's spirit pond.
With this, Lin Jin was once again connected to the Immortal Queen. In addition, this shadow was able to use the Four Seas Freedom Gourd at will, and he seemed to be very familiar with it.
Lin Jin could easily relate it to the Immortal Queen.
Of course, these were just Lin Jin's speculations. At that moment, Lin Jin felt a chill emanating from the Four Seas Freedom Gourd in his hand. Picking it up, he immediately noticed that the gourd had changed.
The gourd's mouth was emitting a deep blue cold air. Activating it, an icicle shot out with a chilling aura.
The Four Seas Freedom Gourd had been reforged.
Lin Jin thought about it. It must have happened when the shadow was using the Four Seas Freedom Gourd.
This made Lin Jin even more certain that the shadow was the Immortal Queen.
