Chapter 1235 - 1235: Refining the Treasure of Obsession with Lei Gun's Method

The Eastern Luo King knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Just now, when Lin Wudi unleashed the Heaven-Cleaving Technique, he almost couldn't resist the urge to defend himself, but he held back.

Because he knew very well that with his abilities, he was no match for Lin Wudi.

Sure enough, even the Sixth King, whose power matched his, couldn't withstand it and was killed instantly.

Such is the might of someone who can take down a hundred Heavenly Realm Guards and withstand the Third Tribulation.

Lin Wudi's power, within the Stone Gate Realm, is likely invincible!

"Lei Gun comes from the Yin Soul Realm..."

The Eastern Luo King dared not even rise, kneeling as he confessed everything to Lin Wudi.

A once great king, deprived of courage and pride, is even more humble than one who has integrated Dao.

The so-called Yin Soul Realm is but two sides of the same coin with the Stone Gate Realm, also a part of it.

But in the Yin Soul Realm, Ghastly Qi runs rampant, making it impossible for ordinary cultivators to survive.

When the Stone Gate Realm was at its peak power, eighteen kings used Great Divine Power to seal off the part of the Stone Gate Realm rampant with Ghastly Qi, thus creating the Yin Soul Realm.

Since then, the Yin Soul Realm and the Stone Gate Realm have been isolated, with little to no interaction.

Only by using the Ten Kings Command can the seals be lifted, allowing the two realms to connect.

The Ten Kings seldom engage in such thankless tasks unless forced, to avoid the Stone Gate Realm's destruction by Ghastly Qi.

This time, they were compelled by Lin Wudi, leaving no other choice but such a last resort.

Unexpectedly, Lei Gun, armed with ten thousand Tribulation Thunder Thought Weapons, was easily killed by Lin Wudi.

The Ten Kings' schemes backfired miserably, resulting in eight of the Nine Kings falling, leaving only the Eastern Luo King.

Lin Mu, upon hearing this, seemed deep in thought.

This so-called Yin Soul Realm is anything but; it is clearly the Ghost Realm's Ghastly Qi permeating too intensely, already beginning to erode the Heavenly Realm.

In time, this Forbidden Sand Sea may well become shrouded in Ghastly Qi.

By then, the passage between the Ghost Realm and the Heavenly Realm will open.

The defenseless Heavenly Realm is bound to suffer greatly.

Pity that the Ten Kings, despite undergoing the Third Tribulation, utterly fail to grasp the gravity of the situation.

"Go spread my command: From today onwards, no one in the Stone Gate Realm is permitted to be forced into the Ghost Specter..."

"From today onwards, the Stone Gate Realm is unified, temporarily under your command!"

Lin Mu's two sentences stunned the Eastern Luo King.

He quickly responded, "King Lin, it's not that I am unwilling to heed your command; truly, the Four Hidden Kings still remain, and I... I simply lack the ability to unify the Stone Gate Realm!"

The Hidden Kings possess far greater strength than the Ten Kings.

Each Hidden King is of monstrous caliber, having a base of over a thousand Tribulation Thoughts!

With the Eastern Luo King's power, he cannot suppress the Four Hidden Kings, not even any single one of them can be surpassed!

Without the balancing presence of the other Nine Kings, he stands no chance against the Four Hidden Kings.

"If the Hidden Kings refuse, then let them come find me! I will continue my secluded cultivation here; you may go!"

Lin Mu ascended into the sky, flying towards the depths of Tianqian Valley.

The Eastern Luo King had a bitter expression; the task assigned by Lin Wudi was truly a mission of life and death.

Facing those mad Hidden Kings would assuredly spell his death!

"If you can't even handle this minor task, of what use are you to me!"

While the Eastern Luo King hesitated in figuring out how to persuade Lin Wudi to abandon this task, he unexpectedly heard words that chilled him.

"Rest assured, King Lin, I will undoubtedly fulfill your instructions!"

The Eastern Luo King involuntarily shivered.

He suddenly understood that this task was actually a test from Lin Wudi.

Failure would mean following in the footsteps of the other Nine Kings.

The Eastern Luo King harnessed Tribulation Thoughts, leaving Tianqian Valley.

Upon reaching the edge of Tianqian Valley, he saw Nan Weiyun gazing intently in their direction.

Seeing the Eastern Luo King, Nan Weiyun was visibly tense, shouting in alarm, "Where is King Lin!"

The Eastern Luo King sighed; Nan Weiyun was quite lucky to have earned Lin Wudi's trust.

"The other Eight Kings have been killed, and I have pledged allegiance to King Lin. You stay here as protector while I carry out King Lin's assigned task!"

The Eastern Luo King's words almost caused Nan Weiyun to drop from the sky in shock.

"All eight of the other kings are dead?"

He instinctively looked up at the massive Light Tower in the sky.

Indeed, the ten white light spots that once represented the Ten Kings now stood solitary.

Though he had anticipated this outcome, Nan Weiyun was still ecstatic.

"Why didn't you activate those two fifth-level Ghost Specters that can appear at any time?"

The Nine Kings laid a trap here naturally intending to use the Ghost Specters against Lin Wudi; the earlier commotion was clearly not the Ghost Specters shattering.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Nan Weiyun asked.

"Fifth-level Ghost Specters?"

The Eastern Luo King did not wish to answer such a vexing question.

It took all Nine Kings to barely control the fifth-level Ghost Specters; yet, as soon as Lin Wudi appeared, the Northern Gate King was slain by him, rendering their plans useless.

Who could have predicted that Lin Wudi would be so aggressive, allowing no chance for negotiation before swiftly killing?

Seeing the Eastern Luo King's gloomy demeanor, Nan Weiyun refrained from further questioning.

...

In Tianqian Valley, Lin Mu roamed, continuously absorbing the Ghastly Qi within.

As for the two fifth-level Ghost Specters whose arrival time and place were unknown, they posed no threat to him.

His sensing ability allowed him to evade Ghost Specters in advance.

The last time in Nanyuan King King City, he allowed himself to be drawn into the Sixth-Level Ghost Specter only to prevent the Heavenly Realm Guards from escaping.

Otherwise, he could have avoided it in the instant when the Nanyuan King activated the Ghost Specter.

An hour!

Three hours.

Eight hours!

After ten hours, all three thousand seventy-two Tribulation Thoughts were filled with Ghastly Qi.

Lin Mu wiped away the Divine Soul within the Tribulation Thoughts, making them unowned.

Instantly thereafter, his Sea of Consciousness spawned three thousand seventy-two more Tribulation Thoughts.

The absorption of Ghastly Qi continued!

Five days!

Ten days!

A month!

Lin Mu lingered in Tianqian Valley for an entire month before absorbing all the Ghastly Qi within.

Now, before him lay ten thousand Twice Tribulation Thoughts filled with Ghastly Qi!

"By Lei Gun's method, refine the treasured obsession!"

Lin Mu pointed forward with his finger, releasing a thousand Tribulation Thoughts into the tens of thousands of unowned Thoughts filled with Ghastly Qi.

Crack, crack, crack!

The ten thousand Tribulation Thoughts began to gather and transform.

Finally, a special weapon appeared in front of Lin Mu.

A long blade remarkably similar to Nine Cauldrons and Thirteen Stars.

Imbued with Yin Qi, terrifying to the extreme.

Simply suspending in the air, it radiated an irresistible aura.

"Tribulation Thoughts, with Ghastly Qi rampant; thus, I shall call you Ghost Tribulation!"

Because unowned Tribulation Thoughts lack a Magic Artifact to bind them, they cannot be stored in the Sea of Consciousness, so Lin Mu carried it on his back.

The originally snowy white-clad Lin Wudi now exhibited a more frigid demeanor.

Like a lone swordsman traversing the secular world with a single blade.

"Greetings King Lin!"

Perhaps seeing Lin Mu complete his cultivation and emerge, Nan Weiyun dared to approach somewhat.

Witnessing the entire Tianqian Valley's Ghastly Qi absorbed by Lin Wudi over the month was undoubtedly shocking for Nan Weiyun.

"King Lin, I have urgent news to report! Five days ago, Elder Xie sent word that the Eastern King has appeared and detained the Eastern Luo King!"

A month has passed, and the Stone Gate Realm has been transformed.
