Chapter 734 - 668: Divine Realm Lin Family_1
Divine Realm, Yuanyang Continent.
This continent was ruled by the great Lin Family of the Divine Realm.
At this moment, within a secret area on Yuanyang Continent.
A group of experts from the Lin Family were excavating an ancient battlefield.
— Three years ago, the Lin Family discovered this ancient battlefield, and within it, they found the remnants of the Calamity Era.
“Reporting to the Divine King, ahead… more stone bodies have been found!”
A soldier ran over quickly, speaking to a Divine King.
This Divine King was named Lin Lanshan, who was in charge of excavating this secret site.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lanshan moved forward.
Before long, he had already seen a broken stone corpse up ahead, with huge pincers and claws, but it was unknown what kind of being it used to be.
Lin Lanshan said:
“Follow the previous method. Cut out the entire block of ground where the stone corpse is located and take it away, but under no circumstances touch the stone corpse itself.”
He was particularly solemn because those stone corpses contained the mysterious grey mist from the Calamity Era.
Even a mere wisp could easily annihilate a Divine King-level powerhouse.
Immediately, the experts of the Lin Family stepped forward, carefully cutting out the entire block of ground where the giant stone corpse was located.
The land here was now pitted and fragmented from being cut apart.
In three years, the Lin Family had already taken away over a dozen stone corpses!
Because the Lin Family Ancestor, Lin Banyang… was attempting to use these stone corpses to find the secret to immortality.
A distinctive kilometer-long warship had also appeared, as the Lin Family members lifted the massive block of land onto the vessel.
Once the loading was complete, the warship was about to return to the Lin Family.
“Hm? Who are you?!”
Suddenly someone cried out in alarm.
Everyone looked over, only to see that atop the stone corpse loaded on the giant warship, an elderly man in gray robes had unexpectedly appeared!
He emitted a strange aura from all over his body, cold and indifferent.
His skin had turned to stone!
“How dare you! Touching the stone corpse, do you seek death? Get down from there!”
A Divine Monarch from the Lin Family stepped forward and reached out with a large hand toward the elder.
The elder gave him a look.
“Ahh—”
The Divine Monarch split open on the spot, his body turning to stone, even his blood becoming a gray liquid!
“Hiss!”
In that instant, everyone from the Lin Family was shocked and horrified.
“What is this thing…?”
“Strange… With just one look, he can kill a Divine Monarch. How terrifying!”
“No, wait, could he… could he be a living Calamity Creature?”
The Lin Family was stricken with panic.
But Lin Lanshan was even more shocked, exclaiming:
“Strange Spirit? Heretic?!”
He clearly knew much more, his heart trembling immensely, and he instinctively retreated, saying:
“Run, run quickly!”
He turned and fled, drenched in cold sweat!
He understood exactly what this strange elder represented.
A Bizarre Being recorded in legend, originating from the Calamity Epoch!
Such a creature was still alive?!
This is bad, a major incident is about to happen!
Seeing the Divine King fleeing, the people from the Lin Family scattered like birds and beasts.
Meanwhile, the Grey Mist Elder standing on the stone corpse on the huge warship, simply looked down and opened his mouth slightly.
Wisps of thin grey mist from atop the stone corpse immediately entered his mouth.
He… fed on the grey mist.
“Still hungry…”
The elder murmured, saying:
“The grey mist from the stone corpses in this battlefield has almost been eaten…”
As he spoke, he lifted his eyes toward the direction Lin Lanshan and the others had fled.
“Hm… These Divine Path ants seem to have taken some away.”
He took a step and instantly pursued them.
…
At this moment.
Lin Family Ancestral Hall.
“Ancestor, you’ve been studying the grey mist for three years, have you made any discoveries?”
Two Divine Kings stood respectfully before an elder.
Half of the elder’s body was nearly rotten, almost like a living corpse.
He was a Sub-Emperor of the Lin Family, Lin Banyang.
“The grey mist… must lead to a higher level of the Great Dao.”
Lin Banyang whispered, saying:
“However, there are no traces of the Origin of the Grey Mist left in those stone corpses…”
“Perhaps… I can only risk my life to try!”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the two Divine Kings turned ugly.
“It’s all because of that bitch Lin Xuehan back then. If it weren’t for her willfulness, insisting on a private life commitment with Yun Chen, we could have formed a marriage alliance with the Reincarnation Great Emperor’s clan, and perhaps even obtained a trace of the Emperor’s origin…”
“Ancestor, you don’t have to take such a great risk!”
One of the Divine Kings spoke out.
Lin Banyang shook his head and said:
“Even if we had succeeded in forming the marriage alliance back then, I would still choose this path.”
“Because the Ash Mist… may be the only path through which we can touch eternity!”
Hearing this, the two Divine Kings couldn’t help but nod.
Just at this moment, a loud cry suddenly came from outside.
“Something terrible has happened!”
Lin Lanshan rushed in frantically, his face filled with panic, saying:
“Venerable, it’s terrible… A Bizarre Being that was alive walked out from that ancient battlefield…”
“It followed us back to our clan!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Banyang in the great hall, and the two Divine Kings, all changed their expressions dramatically.
A Bizarre Being from the Heretic realm?
How is that possible…
At this moment, miserable screams already rang out from outside.
“Not good… That’s in the direction of the ancestral hall!”
Lin Banyang’s face changed, and he immediately led the three Divine Kings outside, rushing toward the Lin Family Ancestral Hall.
On the kilometer-long stairs in front of the Lin Family Ancestral Hall, there was suddenly a strange elder who wasn’t there before.
The strange elder was flanked by Lin Family experts who guarded the ancestral hall; one group after another had died, their deaths extremely miserable, as if they had been turned to stone!
Next to Lin Banyang, Divine King Lin Lantian roared:
“Activate the Clan Protection Formation!”
“Annihilate it!”
Suddenly, the highest level formation of the Lin Family was set in motion.
Within the Lin Family Ancestral Hall, Myriad Dao divine lights burst forth, a Sub-Emperor Level force slashing towards that Grey Mist Elder!
However, the Grey Mist Elder just coldly raised his eyes to look ahead, his gaze flickering with a flash of gray mist.
Boom!
The Myriad Dao divine lights were directly extinguished, and the grand and majestic Lin Family Ancestral Hall collapsed on the spot.
Dust flew and rubble scattered, the terrifying shockwave caused countless Lin Family experts to spit out blood in unison.
“No…”
Lin Lanshan, Lin Lantian, and the others couldn’t help but kneel on the ground!
“Bizarre Beings… These are the true Bizarre Beings… No!”
Lin Banyang’s whole body was trembling, shaking like chaff, his eyes filled with horror.
He was absolutely certain… this must be the Ash Mist Creature, the bizarre life form of the Calamity Epoch spoken of in legends!
Too terrifying…
He couldn’t help but go weak at the knees and knelt on the ground.
Even a Sub-Emperor… could only kneel and submit!
Before this Grey Mist Elder, the vast Lin Family seemed like nothing!
As the dust settled, in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall, many piles of stone corpses that had been stored were revealed.
Those were what the Lin Family moved here from the ancient battlefield over the past three years.
The Grey Mist Elder, step by step, made his way toward the ancestral hall.
The Lin Family, from top to bottom, watched this Ash Mist Creature with fear and reverence!
The Ash Mist Creature walked into the ruins of the Lin Family Ancestral Hall and gently opened his mouth; faint grey mist immediately drifted from those treasured stone corpses.
All were consumed by him.
Lin Banyang and the others were even more shocked in their expressions… was this the terror of the Ash Mist Creatures?
Truly feeding on grey mist…
Step by step, the Ash Mist Creature moved forward, arriving at the very center of what had been the ancestral hall, but suddenly his expression changed.
He fiercely looked down, gazing at the ground of the Lin Family Ancestral Hall, and said in fear:
“No… no, what’s hidden underneath here?”
At this moment, the strange elder strangely felt a great terror, as if he was a clown who had committed a grave offence, as though he had entangled himself in something unimaginable.
He instantly understood that beneath the ground of this Lin Family Ancestral Hall… there must be a person of extremely high status, or even inconceivable causality.
And now, he had walked on top of that person’s head.
Therefore… causality descended upon himself!
“No!”
With a piercing scream of agony, the elder’s body suddenly burst apart in every direction, and his very essence of the grey mist scattered all over the ground.
The elder’s lingering soul turned into a wisp of black light and fled directly!
…
Upon seeing this scene, the Lin Family was all stunned.
What had just happened?
…
Working overtime, working too late.
