Chapter 1391 Enraged Monster-Beast Ancestor

Golden Armor King’s face looked fierce and malevolent from the severe pain contorting his features. He attempted to fight back, but his body would not budge under Lin Xun’s frightening aura.

It finally struck him that he had encountered a tough one this time!

“Who are you and how did you come here?” He bellowed a hoarse voice, his face filled with hatred and confusion.

“Did you not make a huge fuss about capturing me to be your slave? How come you don’t recognize me when I’m standing right in front of you?” Lin Xun’s expression was calm and indifferent.

“It’s you! Lin Xun!” Golden Armored King froze, his eyes bulging from their sockets.

When he learned that a youngster called Lin Xun had caused turmoil in the Forbidden City of the empire, trampling two high clans himself, he was also surprised, but he gloated and laughed more than anything.

Infighting among the human race was advantageous to the monster-beast forces.

However, he did not expect the youngster to show up on his territory or that his strength would be as frightening as rumored.

It should be mentioned that he was a monster-beast king at the seventh longevity tribulation stage!

But he could not even bear the pressure of Lin Xun’s aura and was forced to his knees. How could he not panic?

When did such a fierce character appear in the empire? And he was so young too!

“Answer some questions for me, and I can make your death quick and painless.” Lin Xun’s eyes were like ice.

“Ridiculous! If we were in the outside world then I might hesitate, but here...” Golden Armor King suddenly screamed. “Lord Monster-Beast Ancestor, please help kill that bastard!”

Boom!

A giant hand of blood-colored light stretched out from the whirlpool, coming straight at Lin Xun.

The giant hand glowed a blood-red hue and exuded a terrifyingly evil and sinister aura like the hand of a demon from hell.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and frantically drew back.

The giant blood-red hand was shrouded in a peculiar aura that brought him a strong feeling of danger. Only someone at the Saint Stage and above could achieve that.

Bang!

To Lin Xun’s surprise, the giant hand suddenly changed direction halfway and forcefully slapped Golden Armor King who was kneeling on the ground.

Instantly, his body was flattened into a pool of flesh and blood.

“Lord Monster-Beast Ancestor…” His strained voice was tinged with confusion and disbelief, and before he finished, both his body and spirit had been obliterated.

The scene chilled even Lin Xun.

Buzz!

Without hesitation, he summoned the No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow to his hands. Qi rumbled around him, and his aura suddenly soared to an extreme level.

He had also once relied on the No-Nonsense Bow and Biluo Arrow to kill two False Saints from the Golden Crow Clan. Now, could they also help him take down the strange Monster-Beast Ancestor?

“Interesting, in this world I can actually meet a king who has embarked on the Supreme Path.” The ice-cold and imposing voice sounded from the depths of the whirlpool.

“Who are you?” Lin Xun scrunched his brows.

“You are not yet qualified to know my identity. Originally, I planned to eliminate you from this world, but I have changed my mind.” The ice-cold voice resounded, “I will give you a chance, kowtow and vow to serve me. When I come out of closed-door cultivation, I will find you the power to reach the Supreme Saint Stage!”

Lin Xun scoffed out loud. “I will also give you a chance. Get out here and beg for mercy on your knees. Then, perhaps I can let you die with dignity.”

As he was speaking, the blood-red bowstring of the No-Nonsense Bow was drawn to its full length, unleashing a roar that shook the void.

The noise abruptly ceased, and the atmosphere turned heavy and tense.

Ready to strike!

Lin Xun could distinctly feel that, in the depths of the whirlpool, a frightening peculiar power was accumulating, making his heart beat rapidly.

“As expected of someone who has embarked on the Supreme Path, I can’t help but admire your courage. If you work for me, then I perhaps might make an exception and accept you as an official disciple and impart you with the supreme secrets of becoming a Saint and ancestor!”

The imposing voice sounded again, with just a hint of admiration.

Lin Xun gave a faint smile. “If you are so capable, then why don’t you dare to show up? Could it be that you are trapped in a certain place?”

Unexpectedly, the voice answered calmly, “You are rather smart. I also won’t bother to hide it from you then. Even if I can’t get out now, within ten years, I will be able to break the Divine Forbidden Dao Lock and return to the world!”

After a pause, he continued, “Do you want to know why great changes happened in this world? And do you know why no Saints have appeared all these years to stop evil from engulfing the world?”

The voice carried a power that befogged the mind. “It’s very simple. They can’t even protect themselves; they must go to a mysterious place to defuse disasters. The king stage cultivators in this world alone are not enough to stop this catastrophe from spreading!”

Lin Xun’s eyelids twitched. He thought of the emperor, empress, Blood Kill King Zhao Tailai, the principal of Qinglu Academy and others who had disappeared...

More than ten years have passed since the outbreak of monster-beasts in the empire, but those influential figures had never appeared. Could they have really gone to a mysterious place as Monster-Beast Ancestor said?

What kind of disasters would make them unable to protect themselves?

“Even if I didn’t tell you about that, I believe you will be able to find out by yourself given your ability. Let me tell you one more thing, under these great changes in the world, the intrinsic structure of the world will soon be broken. The day I break out is the day that all living beings in the world will kneel and bow at my feet!”

The ice-cold, majestic voice sounded again, “Young man, if you surrender and serve me from now on, I can offer you the Eternal Life-Defying Pill in your hand as a gift. In addition to that, I can guarantee that you will receive endless benefits in the future.”

Immediately after that, the voice turned deep and chilling, “But if you refuse, I guarantee...”

Lin Xun interrupted before he finished, “Don't you think you talk too much?”

“You…what did you say?” The voice sounded with a tone of disbelief. Or rather he did not expect Lin Xun to refuse his offer after he told him so much.

Moreover, his attitude was more than rude!

It should be noted that, given his identity and status, even Saints back then were no different from a group of slaves to him.

But now, a youngster interrupted him and spoke to him disrespectfully. It indeed made him a little…stunned, but also infuriated!

“I said you talk too much nonsense!” Lin Xun repeated. “If you had the ability, you would not have uttered a single word and immediately subdued me. Unfortunately you didn’t do that, which proves one thing.”

His dark eyes shone coldly, staring into the depths of the whirlpool. “You don’t have the power to kill me now!”

The voice suddenly turned serious and stern. “You’re right, but when I get out of here, do you think it will still be the same?”

𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lin Xun snorted, “Get out? No, given your own ability, you can’t possibly escape even after ten years. You need ‘offerings’ to recover your strength, and you need someone to help you collect those ‘offerings.’ I believe Golden Armor King is one of the subordinates who serves you.

“If my guess is correct, the many monster-beast kings that appeared all over the empire must also be your subordinates. It is also precisely because they serve you and collect ‘offerings’ for you that it made you think that you have a chance to escape within ten years, is that right?”

The voice fell silent for a long moment.

But Lin Xun continued, “Say, if I kill all your subordinates, then will you...still be able to escape in the next ten years?”

“Ridiculous!” The voice boomed out, but it seemed more terrifying and colder than usual. “Do you think an ant like you can do that?”

“You don’t believe it? Then try me.” Lin Xun’s expression was extremely calm.

“Young man…”

The voice sounded again, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Xun had already launched into action.

Bang!

The fully drawn No-Nonsense Bow was fired in an instant. The wind raged and thunder rumbled, and an invisible arrow swiftly shot out.

Boom!

The pool of blood exploded.

At the same time, the whirlpool suspended above the blood pool swayed violently and collapsed inch after inch.

“You...how dare you destroy my altar—!”

The voice quavered with worry, fury, resentment, and hostility. “When I get out, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death!”

Rumble!

When the voice died away, the whirlpool suspended in midair had already collapsed and vanished.

“Even the almighty Monster-Beast Ancestor is still a trapped Monster-Beast Ancestor. But he talks so much nonsense as though he doesn’t want others to find out that he can’t escape… It seems like he has been trapped for too long. He still thinks he is as powerful and mighty as he was back then.” Lin Xun’s lips were touched with a mocking smile.

If it were anyone else, then they would definitely be affected by Monster-Beast Ancestor’s words.

But Lin Xun wasn’t.

From the very beginning, he could tell that the so-called Monster-Beast Ancestor was trapped, and their following conversation also confirmed this.

A trapped Monster-Beast Ancestor might still be terrifying to some, but it was ridiculous to think that Lin Xun would surrender to him.

“It turns out to be a pangolin...”

Lin Xun glanced at the body of the Golden Armor King on the ground. It had resumed its original form—a golden pangolin of a dozen feet long and with a mountain-like body.

With a wave of his sleeve, he put away the opponent’s body and turned around to leave.

Buzz—

At the bottom of Yin Soul Mountain, Lin Xun walked out of the ancient altar.

He turned around to look at the altar, frowning slightly. Currently, many monster-beast kings were lurking in the empire and Golden Armor King was just one of them.

If Lin Xun wanted to prevent the Monster-Beast Ancestor from getting out, he must eradicate all the monster-beast kings in the empire one by one in the quickest time possible!

Otherwise, the remaining monster-beast kings would gather offerings for the Monster-Beast Ancestor to recover his strength and speed up his escape…

“Who would have thought that the purpose of those monster-beasts burning, killing, and pillaging across the world was to rescue the trapped Monster-Beast Ancestor?”

Lin Xun’s killing intent was ignited at the thought of those ‘offerings.’

The lives and blood of young boys and girls of the human race were treated as offerings for Monster-Beast Ancestor to recover his strength. His wicked and bloody cultivation methods made Lin Xun feel extremely uncomfortable and disgusted.

That day, Lin Xun destroyed the monster-beasts’ lair in Yin Soul Mountain, learned about the secrets of Monster-Beast Ancestor, and returned with the body of Golden Armor King.
