Chapter 1260: Beginning of the Turmoil
The clouds in the sky scattered as the terrifying aura that had enveloped Dao Sect for the past two months gradually receded.
Lin Dong hovered in the sky as he felt the almost endless and inexhaustible Yuan Power undulations emanating from within his body. A smile surfaced from the corners of his lips. As expected of the Reincarnation stage, the difference from before was akin to heaven and earth. No wonder he had been pushed into such a miserable state by the Seventh Seat King despite his various powerful techniques and the power of two Ancestral Symbols.
However, if he was to meet that fellow again, Lin Dong had the confidence that he would no longer be taken advantage of!
"Big brother Lin Dong."
A lovely voice emerged from below as Qingtan flew over. She observed Lin Dong from top to bottom, patted her chest and sighed in relief when she saw that nothing had happened to him.
"Are you alright?" Ying Huanhuan also swiftly followed and arrived. Her penetrating and icy eyes were filled with concern.
Lin Dong shook his head and said, "How long was I in cultivation seclusion this time?"
"Two years." Qingtan replied.
Lin Dong was stunned. Soon after, he saw the playful smile on Qingtan's lips and immediately angrily pinched her pretty face, "Don't plan on living anymore huh, to think that you even dare to make fun of me?!"
"I was in the wrong." Having been disciplined, Qingtan resentfully covered her face with her hand. Lin Dong could not help but be secretly happy as he gazed at this appearance of hers. Soon after, he gently patted her cheeks. He knew that this lass had teased him with the intention of getting him to relax and be happy. When he thought about it, this lass was now the master of Darkness Palace, yet she still remained so obedient before him. This made him feel rather gratified in his heart.
"It's been two months." Ying Huanhuan chuckled and said as she watched the pair of siblings cause a small ruckus.
"Two months huh." Only then did Lin Dong nod his head. He had been lost within space itself and had already lost all sense of time. Fortunately, he had managed to return.
"Hehe, congratulations junior brother Lin Dong."
Following Qingtan and Ying Huanhuan, Ying Xuanzi, Zhou Tong and the rest also swiftly flew into the sky. Zhou Tong cupped his fists towards Lin Dong as he laughed and said.
Lin Dong returned the gesture as he glanced at Zhou Tong. The latter's Yuan Spirit was becoming increasingly corporeal and it was likely that it would not be long till he was able to create a physical body. At that time, he would completely recover.
"I have cultivated for so many years and yet am still stuck at the peak of the Samsara stage. A little one like you merely cultivated for a dozen years and has already surpassed me, this truly is…" Ying Xuanzi lamented as he sighed. He felt rather miserable. This world had its share if monsters after all.
Lin Dong laughed. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. A fiery wave suddenly erupted from a distant mountain peak. Was it the Flame Master?
"What is it?"
Ying Xuanzi and the rest also detected this sudden change as their expressions filled with alarm.
Swish.
A flash of red light hastily swept over from the distance before appearing before Lin Dong and the rest. It was the Flame Master. However, his body was currently entire red and seemed a little incorporeal.
'What's going on?" When Lin Dong saw this change in the Flame Master's state, he was a little taken back as he hurriedly asked.
"Something has happened in the Chaotic Demon Sea." The Flame Master's eyes were rather grim as replied.
Lin Dong's pupils contracted slightly, "Is it the Yimo?"
"Yes, they have finally started moving." The Flame master nodded before continuing, "The Chaotic Demon Sea has now fallen into complete chaos as countless Yimo surge out from the bottom of the sea. I believe that this news will soon reach the Eastern Xuan Region."
Lin Dong's expression was grave. To have caused such an expression on the Flame Master, this was surely not a small disturbance.
"They also seemed to have found the location of my true body." The Flame Master said.
Lin Dong's expression changed. He had visited the lava domain where the Flame Master was located. Something rather terrifying seemed to be sealed there, "Is it because of the thing that has been sealed there? The place that you are suppressing should also be a Devil Suppressing Prison right?"
The Flame Master nodded his head. After some hesitation, he said, "The prison I'm suppressing has the least number of Yimo amongst the three prisons. However, there is an extremely formidable thing there…"
"What?"
"The former mount of the Yimo Emperor, Cosmic Evil Devil King!"
*Gasps*
Around them, Ying Xuanzi and the rest violently sucked in a mouthful of cold air. Although they had not heard of this so-called Cosmic Evil Devil King, they had heard of the Yimo Emperor. The Yimo Emperor was a terrifying existence that even the Symbol Ancestor had to ignite his reincarnation to successfully seal. The mount of such an existence would be extremely frightening.
"The Cosmic Evil Devil King…" Lin Dong's eyebrows tightly furrowed. The thing that the Tian Yuanzi trio had fused with was also a Cosmic Evil Devil. Its power was exceptionally astonishing, hence, this Cosmic Evil Devil King was surely extraordinary. Else, it would not be under the care of someone like the Flame Master.
"I'm afraid that this Cosmic Evil Devil King's strength is only slightly inferior to the Devil Prison's most powerful Heaven Seat King. It will not be easy to deal with if it escapes." The Flame Master solemnly said.
Lin Dong nodded his head. If this Cosmic Evil Devil King escaped, the Devil Prison's power would soar and surely change the overall situation. For them, this was a tremendous pressure.
"Is my help needed?" Lin Dong asked.
"It is, however you will not be helping me." The Flame Master did not hesitate. Lin Dong now had the ability and qualifications to help them.
"Then who will I help?" Lin Dong asked in a puzzled manner.You will go to the Chaos Master!" The Flame Master said in a heavy voice, "According to the information I have received, Devil Prison has also discovered the location of the Chaos Master. He suffered extremely serious injuries back then, and is now at the most critical step of his recovery. I intend for you to protect him."
"The Devil Prison also knows of the Chaos Master's current condition. If the Chaos Master is injured at such a time, it will greatly weaken our power."
The Chaos Master was similarly one of the eight ancient masters, and was one of the most powerful pieces on their side. If any accident was to occur, it would be disastrous.
"What about the Thunder Master and the rest?"
Lin Dong was somewhat puzzled as he asked. It was impossible for the Thunder Master to be unaware of such an important matter.
"Devil Prison was prepared this time. The Thunder Master had previously went to scout Devil Prison and is currently trapped. As for the Spatial Master and the Darkness Master, they are being vigilantly watched by Devil Prison and are temporarily unable to get away. Thus, I need you help." The Flame Master explained.
"As for the Life Death Master, the injuries she suffered back then were second only to little junior sister. I'm afraid that she is likely still be within the cycle of reincarnation…"
"The Life Death Master did not die?" Lin Dong was somewhat surprised. The Life Death Ancestral Symbol was extremely peculiar and had already transformed into human form, which was that little lass Mu Lingshan. According to the Immortal Sage Whale Clan, the Life Death Master was their ancestor, however, when they opened her tomb, they did not find any skeleton but instead an egg. This egg was what the Life Death Ancestral Symbol had transformed into, which hatched later on… becoming Mu Lingshan.
"The Life Death Master controls life and death. She is the one that is least likely to die and should still be alive. She has merely yet to awaken." The Flame Master replied.
Lin Dong could not help but lick his lips. As the expected of the expert who controlled the Life Death Ancestral Symbol, even death was so difficult…
"To fully suppress the Cosmic Evil Demon King, I have to dispel this apparition of mine. Thus, you must quickly head over." The Flame Master said. The ripples from his body were growing increasingly intense. It was evident that this apparition of his was about to disappear.
Lin Dong nodded his head. Since such a great disturbance had occurred in the Chaotic Demon Sea, he needed to go over and make sure the Gu Clan, Tang Xinlian, Mu Lingshan and the rest were alright. If the Chaotic Demon Sea was affected, the places they were at would not be spared.
After saying what he needed to, the Flame Master's gaze turned towards Ying Huanhuan. He hesitated for a while before speaking, "I'm afraid that I cannot continue to stay at your side this time."
Ying Huanhuan lightly nodded her head. Her slender ice-cold hand gently gasped Lin Dong's large hand as she replied in a soft voice, "He will not let anything happen to me."
The Flame Master secretly sighed softly. Soon after, flames suddenly emerged on his body. When the flames faded, his body had disappeared.
Lin Dong knew that the Flame Master had retrieved this avatar of his. Looks like the danger this time was indeed not small. Else, it would not have forced him to take back all of his power.
"Sect master, I will directly head to the Chaotic Demon Sea. Now that Devil Prison has put all of their efforts into the Chaotic Demon Sea, the Eastern Xuan Region should be safe for the time being." Lin Dong did not hesitate. He tilted his head towards Ying Xuanzi and said.
"Brother Lin Dong, bring me along too! I still haven't been to the Chaotic Demon Sea!" Qingtan hastily said. She was afraid that Lin Dong would leave her behind.
"Me too." Ying Huanhuan's icy and penetrating eyes looked towards Lin Dong and said.
Upon seeing this, Lin Dong could not help but bitterly laugh. After pondering for a moment, he nodded his head. Qingtan was the Darkness Ancestral Symbol controller and wielded the Darkness Saint Scythe. Hence she would be able to engage in battle with even a true king level Yimo king. Moreover, even he could not really tell how powerful Ying Huanhuan currently was, and she would contribute greatly to their battle power if she came along. Most importantly, he would worry if he left her behind by herself.
"Then the three of us shall go."
Qingtan immediately smiled happily when she heard this. Even her pretty little face had become substantially more sweet and charming.
"Since that is so, then go. Remember to take care of each other." Ying Xuanzi nodded his head. Given this trio's strength, they could go anywhere in this world. There was not much need to worry about them.
"Sect leader, Dao Sect should seal off itself for the time being after we leave incase anything should happen. Let me know if any problem crops up. Now that I have refined the Spatial Ancestral Symbol, I will be able to quickly return here." Lin Dong said. Although Devil Prison's power was concentrated in the Chaotic Demon Sea, there was no harm in being careful.
"Okay."Ying Xuanzi nodded and responded.
Upon seeing this, Lin Dong no longer delayed. His arms reached out and grabbed Ying Huanhuan and Qingtan. Of the two slim waists, one was as soft as a snake while the other was ice-cold like jade, a feeling that made one feel a somewhat reluctant to part with.
However, Lin Dong currently did not have to mood to enjoy this sensation. With a thought, silver light exploded from his body as the surrounding space started to violently distort.
Ch!
When the silver light faded, everyone saw that the three figures had already disappeared into the distorted space and only violent spatial undulations remained.
Ying Xuanzi watched the trio disappear as he gently spit out a mouthful of air. He exchanged a look with Zhou Tong and the rest as he secretly sighed. This world was finally beginning to fall into turmoil again.
Chapter 1261: Returning to the Chaotic Demon Sea
Chaotic Demon Sea. Northern Underworld Sea Region.
This was a vast and endless ocean and there were many clouds floating lazily in the sky above. The sunlight shone through the clouds, causing the surface of the ocean to appear bright and glittery. It was a quiet and peaceful sight.
However, this silence did not continue for long as the space in the sky suddenly became distorted. After which, silver light emerged, before three figures appeared from out of nowhere.
A sea breeze greeted them. Lin Dong lifted his head and looked at this familiar looking ocean. Promptly, a look of reminiscence flashed across his eyes. Back then, he arrived at this place after he was forced to flee the Eastern Xuan Region. After which, in order to get his revenge, he trained bitterly with all his strength.
At that time, he experienced many dangerous trials on this seemingly endless ocean. Fortunately, he managed to survive…
When he first arrived at the Chaotic Demon Sea, he was as ordinary as a rock and was hardly noteworthy. However, by the time he left, his name had spread across the entire Chaotic Demon Sea. Now, when he came back to this ocean, with his current strength, he no longer had to look up to anyone.
The young man, who was once hunted and forced to flee for his life, had undergone a metamorphosis and soared to the skies.
"Chaotic Demon Sea… I, Lin Dong, has returned!"
Lin Dong lifted his head and let out a long howl. His howl was just like thunder as it rumbled across the surface of the ocean and spread into the distance.
When Ying Huanhuan saw Lin Dong's excited expression, she gave a gentle smile before she asked, "Back then, did you come here after leaving the Eastern Xuan Region?"
Lin Dong inhaled a deep breath of air. Then, he nodded with a smile. Who could have imagined that he was once forced to act as subservient as an ant when he first arrived at this place? If not for his wits, he would have likely died in this ocean.
"You must have had a difficult time, am I right?" Ying Huanhuan used her icy pretty eyes to stare at Lin Dong before she softly said, "Although I missed you terribly during those three years, you must have had a hard time too."
She could sense the complicated emotions Lin Dong felt towards this place. Therefore, she was able to guess that he must have experienced numerous life and death situations here. At times, perhaps even he did not know whether he could return to the Eastern Xuan Region alive...
Ying Huanhuan involuntarily bit her lips gently when she thought of this. Promptly, she chided herself for putting up an attitude when they met for the first time after Lin Dong returned from this ocean. After all, even though she had a hard time, but what about him? Who knew what he had gone through? After all, he was used to hiding it beneath his smile and he did not allow others to realize it.
When Lin Dong saw the gentle emotions flowing within Ying Huanhuan's eyes, he felt touched in his heart. Promptly, he extended his arms and hugged her delicate little waist. Then, he smiled and said, "I am a man. There are some burdens that I naturally have to shoulder."
"Big brother Lin Dong. In the past, who offended you in here? Let's head over there and destroy them!" Qingtan said, while her large eyes contained some murderous intent. Though she remained obedient and pampered in front of Lin Dong, she was ultimately the palace master of the Darkness Palace. Moreover, she came out from the Darkness Judgement Hall, and the blood that covered her small fair hands were sufficient to cause one's heart to shudder.
"I don't need you to avenge me." Lin Dong smilingly flicked Qingtan's snow white forehead. After which, he surveyed his surroundings before he muttered, "I wonder which sea region of the Chaotic Demon Sea are we in?"
Although Lin Dong was able to travel from the Eastern Xuan Region to the Chaotic Demon Sea in a short period of time by relying on the Spatial Ancestral Symbol, the Chaotic Demon Sea was extremely vast and it was impossible for him to accurately pinpoint his location.
"Let's walk around and take a look." Lin Dong shook his head after he failed to pinpoint his location. After which, he dragged both ladies before he swiftly flew forward.The Chaotic Demon Sea was extremely vast and each sea region was huge. Moreover, the sea region that they were currently in seemed to be a fairly remote one. In fact, even after the three of them flew for over a dozen minutes at an extremely fast speed, they were still unable to spot a single person.
Just as Lin Dong was fretting over this matter, Ying Huanhuan suddenly pointed her fair delicate hand towards the west, "There are people over there. Moreover, there are also Yimo fluctuations."
Lin Dong looked in that direction, but he was unable to detect anything. Promptly, he felt slightly startled in his heart. It seemed like he was increasingly unable to fathom Ying Huanhuan's strength.
"It's just that I am extremely sensitive towards the Yimo fluctuation."
When she realized that Lin Dong was shocked, Ying Huanhuan gently held Lin Dong's hand and said.
Lin Dong nodded. At the moment, it was not a good time to talk. Hence, he grabbed both ladies, before a silver light flashed. Instantly, they appeared thirty miles away. With the Spatial Ancestral Symbol, their current travelling speed was clearly far superior compared to before.
Along the way, Lin Dong tore through the empty space a couple of times. This continued for a couple of minutes before he finally stopped. Then, he stared at his front, only to see that there were over a dozen large ships travelling rapidly across the ocean. Meanwhile, black clouds rolled behind those large ships and the evil demonic aura caused the sky to darken.
The devil clouds quickly caught up with those large ships. After which, countless Yimo charged forward and rained down on those large ships like rain droplets. Battle cries subsequently sounded, before miserable screeches also sounded in waves.
However, their resistance was clearly to no avail. Within a short period of time, three large ships were turned into a bloodbath, before a rich bloody stench spread across the sky.
Lin Dong stared at this scene from afar. Meanwhile, he saw various flags hanging on those large ships. They should be some merchant ships…
Merchant ships? He wondered if the merchant ships of the Gu clan were amongst them.
Lin Dong's heart was trembling as he carefully surveyed the place. Then, he was shocked when he realized that there was a flag with the character 'Gu', hanging on a large ship at the front.
"There is actually a merchant ship from the Gu clan amongst them? It seems like this place should be near to the Heaven Wind Sea Region." Lin Dong frowned. Then, he swung his sleeve before silver light flashed and the three of them once again vanished.
The people on the huge merchant ships were scuttering. Meanwhile, many of their faces were filled with fear as they stared at the devil clouds churning over from all directions. Sharp cries of despair sounded in a wave like fashion.
There were dozens of members from the Gu clan clustered together at the front of the merchant ship of the Gu clan. Meanwhile, their expressions were slightly pale. Nonetheless, compared to the rest, they were fairly well-trained. At the very least, they were still holding onto the weapons in their hands. Meanwhile, there were also Yuan Power surging on the surface of their bodies.Everyone lifted their heads in shock. At that spot, countless Yimo had turned into ashes before they scattered away. In fact, only the strongest devil figure remained standing, and he was also in complete shock. It looked as though he had yet to recover from the sudden change that took place in front of him.
Of course, he was not the only one that was completely stunned. In fact, even the expressions of Gu Yuntian's group froze.
This ocean, which was extremely chaotic initially, had became completely silent at this moment. It was quite a comical sight.
