The image was silent for a moment before it continued, âYouâre right. I used to think he was on the fence, but now that heâs appeared on Lin Xiaoâs side it means heâs an enemy. It wonât be safe even if we take down the Lin Clan if that hidden ailment isnât excised.â
âIf so, let me handle it,â Chi Hun said.
âConfident?â
âIt should be fine! Lin Xiao isnât much. As for that fellow, would I be worthy of being the tenth rex mundi if I feared him?â Chi Hunâs eyes were sinister. He had been enticed by this tempting opportunity. If he missed it, Lin Xiaodao would be the hardest person for the ebons to kill in the future.
âThat personâs always been very meticulous. Heâs clearly risking his life for Lin Feng this time. Itâs indeed a good chance.â
In the end, such a situation would be decided by who was stronger. For both parties, the other side was an enticing piece of meat.
âThose two must die!â Chi Hun exited the Nethersoul, his eyes full of killing intent. He could see that Lin Xiaodao had the conviction to stake it all in his eyes. Now that Lin Xiaodao had come, the chances of Lin Xiao getting away were much higher if they didnât have an Infinitum Duel.
âIâll take them both on by myself in an Infinitum Duel,â Chi Hun. the tenth rex mundi, announced with a smile.
Mount Taia shook as the pressure shifted to the Lin Clan members.
âLetâs go, Second Patriarch,â Lin Xiaodao turned and extended a hand to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao looked up and looked at the âyoung manâ.
âI thought about it for quite a while before deciding I couldn't let down my surname.â Lin Xiaodao grinned. Although his face was very dirty, it couldnât hide his radiant smile.
âAlright fine, Iâll make this bet with you!â Lin Xiaoâs fighting spirit surged.
âYouâve misunderstood, Second Patriarch.â Lin Xiaodao continued smiling.
âMisunderstood?â
âThe reason I dragged you in was to make this duel more tempting to them.â Lin Xiaodao peered at Chi Hun. âReally, youâre just here to be the audience! You get front-row seats, isnât that an honor?â
Lin Xiao was stunned at this arrogance. Lin Xiaodaoâs smile looked very ânaiveâ, but the older man noticed some things in his eyes that the Swordgod Lin Clan had lacked for generations. They were the confidence of a genius and the pride of a swordsman!
âAfter today, my name, Lin Xiaodao, shall assuredly shake the stars of the Infinitum Mundus.â
â¦â¦
At the Infinitum Swordsea.
âLin Feng, where do you think youâre going?â Lin Yun laughed as he gave chase. It didnât matter how many Yin Chens blocked him, they were all ground to dust in a moment. A gap of thousands of years of cultivation couldnât be bridged.
Tianming could only speed through the swordsea as fast as he could. He passed through blood and corpses, all from the Lin Clan while their pain and anger entered his ears.
And most of all, Lin Yunâs laughter was growing closer. He was toying with him!
âFor science, I want to see how fast you can run without legs!â Two streaks of sword light, moving faster than Tianmingâs limits, shot forward.
Tianming only felt a burst of pain in his legs as he tumbled away. When he looked down, he saw that his legs were gone.
âDammit!â Tianming still hadnât grown his right hand back, and now his legs had been lost as well. âLin Yun! If I have a chance, I swear Iâll eat you alive!â He continued running. His only source of confidence was that green light in his right wrist and the mysterious ring on his neck.
Lin Yun was much happier now. He roared with laughter as he caught up to Tianming and reached out toward his neck like one would a baby chick. His cosmoforce wrapped around Tianming and forced his astralforce to a halt. âHow wondrous, order really canât stop you and I have to do it physically.â
Lin Yun squeezed Tianmingâs neck and brought him to his eye level. âLittle mongrel, any smart words now?â
Tianming just laughed.
Lin Yun increased the force constricting Tianming and snapped, âYou can still laugh?â
Tianming was in great pain now, but he refused to speak. He was simply waiting for his chance. At least Feiling and the rest were safe now. And Etherean Gladeus had appeared! At least his grandparents were still alive and the Dongshen Clanâs guardian formation still stood!
However, the blood feud continued deepening.
âHow perfect. Iâll torment you for a while before handing you over to Rex Mundi Tianxi!â Honestly, Lin Yun was reluctant to hand Tianming over. He knew that Tianxi and the alien monster were holding each other back, or else the brat wouldnât have lived so long.
At the council hall, a tragedy of sorrow and helplessness played out as people killed their fellows. Tianming saw it all with his three eyes. âI must change this place. I must overcome this tribulation!â His conviction remained strong; he had to become a god, an astral god and finally a cosmic god!
Many Lin Clan disciples could only watch in disbelief. Everyone involved was a relative, so who should they help?
âPerhaps such a clan needs a world god too!â
A personâs experiences were always their greatest treasure. Many times, a crisis could be solved using oneâs experience.
âMy caelumâ¦â Tianming could see that his caelum was shining. And through its eyes, he saw an endless sea above the sky. âIs that the ordered sea?â
However, he was in the middle of a life and death struggle!
Lin Yun was still maniacally laughing. Tianming couldnât understand why he hated him so muchâwas it jealousy? Regardless, Tianmingâs rage had consumed him. He could feel the mysterious ring on his neck beginning to heat up. Even his albi that had turned into copies of the Order Relic were resonating with his anger, vibrating at a high frequency.
âIâ¦â Tianming felt like he was about to explode, as if the entire world was on fire.
Lin Yun continued laughing.
Tianming saw a golden figure racing over.
Lin Jianxing had arrived as well!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tianmingâs heart rate sped up.
At that moment, Yin Chen suddenly passed over news that tipped Tianming over the boiling point.
It saidâ¦
It said!
âEtherean Gladeus⦠has slain⦠Chi Hun!â
The tenth rex mundi had fallen!
Even Lin Jie, Lin Yun, and the rest would bow and scrape to that figure; he was an overlord of Ebonia who no one dared annoy.
However, he had fallen to a member of the Lin Clan in an Infinitum Duel!
Those words made all of the heat in Tianming finally explode outward. He roared as his body began to swell up and expand.
