Countless terrifying currents of air were continuously inhaled through Lin Xin’s nose and mouth. The ground also faintly started to shake.
In the distance, the criminal miners who were still extracting ore were even pulled back and forth by the massive air currents, causing them to stagger, and cries of alarm rose one after another.
"What’s going on?"
"Is it an earthquake?"
"No, it’s a huge wind! The wind is too strong!"
"Let’s find sowhere to hide first!"
Most of the criminals bent down to avoid the increasingly fierce winds.
So of the wolf-headed Supervisors also realized sothing was amiss and flew up from afar, toward the source of the wind power to try and find its origin. However, most of them dispersed to find the Supervisors of the Shape-shifting Cave.
"Who’s causing trouble here? Don’t you know this is the Forbidden Land of the Shape-shifting Cave?!"
A voice was transmitted from afar towards this side.
Lin Xin slightly narrowed his eyes; the people opposite hadn’t inford the junior monks below that Yuan Jing was arriving, clearly not valuing their lives.
He also ceased being polite and abruptly paused.
The currents of air suddenly ceased, vanishing completely along with the sudden pull they had been exerting.
In front of Lin Xin, a vortex-like grey-black disc erged, flashing with dark red Runes, vibrating and sparkling continuously.
Roar!!!
He suddenly opened his mouth, and an imnsely wild giant sound wave rushed into the disc and then was instantly dispersed, emanating from the center of the disc and spreading wildly toward the entire Shape-shifting Cave.
The sound waves, having materialized, directly shattered the space into countless grey-black cracks.
The ground also suddenly revealed nurous patterns and deep ravines.
Hum!
Right in front of Lin Xin in the Forbidden Land, facing the direction of the sound wave impact, suddenly appeared a huge bell, tangible as if made of dark gold, steadily covering the entire Forbidden Land.
The invisible sound waves mixed with grey-black spatial cracks fiercely collided against the dark golden bell, like a flood hitting the rocks.
The two fiercely resisted each other, battling, the bell continuously shaking and vibrating, seemingly increasingly unable to bear the load.
When neither side was giving way, Lin Xin withdrew a dark red Longsword from behind with his backhand. The blade of the sword was flashing faintly with ancient Runes.
He casually swung forward.
Whoosh!!
A blood-red blade surged into the air and violently rushed toward the huge bell like a tidal wave.
Clang!!
The blade, which was more than ten ters high, smashed against the huge bell, effortlessly creating a massive crack in it.
"Are you from the Shape-shifting Cave, sure you want to be enemies with ?" Lin Xin confird one last ti.
"Red Flower Sword Devil, you indeed possess a heaven-sent talent, rare across the ages, but we also have our reasons that we must be enemies with you,"
Zheng Qing slowly rose within the great formation, with a figure shrouded in yellow sand mist by his side.
The aura of the two was wildly spreading towards all directions, similar space around them constantly trembling and revealing cracks; this was a natural phenonon triggered when True Monarch level beings fully unleashed the power of their Soul Domain.
"Let it be, into the Illusory Sea then." Lin Xin was not up for idle talk and waved his hand, imdiately creating a split in front of him; he dived into it.
Zheng Qing and the person in yellow mist also followed suit, splitting the space and entering the Illusory Sea.
The pale green sea still floated above their heads in the surrounding pitch darkness.
Lin Xin hovered opposite Zheng Qing’s two, remaining motionless, only his body’s dark aura growing denser and spreading out.
"It seems you already knew I would co here?"
Lin Xin was sowhat surprised; he didn’t believe he had disclosed any information, since besides his closest acquaintances, he had ntioned his visit to the Forbidden Land to no-one else.
Zheng Qing shook his head, about to speak, but the person in the yellow mist preempted him.
"The opportunity for great chaos in Central Prefecture stems from this person? Though he has reached True Monarch, he only uses brute strength, which is not a threat," the person in yellow mist declared, sounding incredibly confident.
"Be careful, he has within his possession the alien treasure from beyond the heavens; if you are not cautious, you could fall trap," Zheng Qing hurriedly cautioned, afraid the other might suffer.
"A treasure from beyond the heavens?" The tone of the person in yellow mist then grew slightly more serious, "That’s indeed interesting."
"Why do the two of you seek trouble for yourselves?" Lin Xin was alluding to the difficulty of their situation, "At our level, if we truly wish to put soone in a deadly situation, it’s not that easy. If you want to leave, I can’t stop you, and you can’t stop either."
"You’re right, a True Monarch can easily tear through space, step into other rifts, or even directly escape into other worlds, and with countless Secret Techniques and nurous trump cards at their disposal, it is indeed impossible to force them into a deadly situation unless the gap is too wide," Zheng Qing agreed, "But, there is still one way to achieve that goal."
"Oh?" Lin Xin was startled, "I’d like to hear the details."
"It is this."
Zheng Qing flipped his hand, and imdiately, a miniature stamp rotated smoothly in the palm of his hand; the stamp was only the size of a thumb, carved throughout with flowers, birds, insects, fish, and various Runes, giving it an exquisitely rich and uniquely luxurious feel.
"Given by Heaven, unheard by ear. Heavenly Seal, go!"
He tossed his hand, directly striking towards Lin Xin.
The mont the stamp was launched, it invisibly pulled nurous transparent filants, dragging with them from the space behind as they collectively smashed towards Lin Xin, as if pulling countless transparent Formations out of the Void.
"Oh? Is this the Soul Capturing Great Formation? Indeed, it’s extraordinary!" Lin Xin was initially startled, then instantly recognized it as an extrely sophisticated level-five formation that could instantly connect the spatial rules around it, reshape wind and fire, constantly and randomly altering all rules.
This constant alteration made it impossible for a True Monarch’s World Analyzing Eye to find flaws in ti.
Like a continuously flipping sphere, the spatial rules around it were rapidly changing. For a mont, the True Monarch was unable to analyze the rules thoroughly and couldn’t quickly find a gap to break through.
This seal must be the pivotal point of the Soul Capturing Great Formation.
"What brilliant use of constant change to control!" Lin Xin clapped and laughed heartily.
"Turn into a demon!"
A clump of yellow mist suddenly appeared beside him, enveloping him completely with two huge arms growing from its sides.
Each arm was over ten ters long, fiercely grabbing towards Lin Xin, who was encased within.
"Yellow Sand Holy Body, is it a renowned Demon God?" Lin Xin recognized this ability right away. Although he was surrounded, he didn’t panic.
The opponent’s Sacred Body, along with a small formation seal, locked his body in place from a distance, making him unable to move.
Although this Sacred Body was not as strong as the Great Demon True Monarch Qi Chen of the past, it was still more fierce than Mingxin, a True Monarch, wielding the Sky-Piercing Pine Patterned Sword. It was rightly the Great Demon True Monarch of the Central Prefecture, with strength far beyond anything the South Prefecture could compare.
This Sacred Body emulated the terrifying being from the ancient demon gods known as Lu Ming, capable of transforming into yellow sand and becoming undying. Lin Xin recognized its fundantal force at a glance.
"Good to know, you didn’t dodge. You’re seeking your own death!" The voice of the yellow mist man traveled from afar, as if the sound was being transmitted from a distant place.
Boom!
The two massive arms of yellow mist grabbed Lin Xin and jerked him apart harshly.
Rip!!
Amidst a roar, Lin Xin’s body crackled softly.
But no matter how hard the two arms tried, they still couldn’t tear his body apart.
"Wind!"
The voice of Zheng Qing ca just at the right mont,
Following the voice, a greenish scythe flew out of the darkness, fiercely swirling towards Lin Xin’s head.
Clang!!
Lin Xin’s forehead was struck hard, but it only created a small cut, barely breaking the skin.
"Is this the Sacred Body of the Demon Venerable from the Shape-shifting Cave?"
He flicked his fingers, sending the scythe flying.
The cut on his forehead healed quickly, leaving not even a scar behind.
Zheng Qing’s expression grew stern, floating in the distance in midair.
"Has it really grown this much in such a short ti?"
He had entirely planned according to Lin Xin’s previous strength. Even if Lin Xin’s growth was rapid, at the level of a True Monarch, the enhancent of combat strength wasn’t just slight but required an imnse accumulation of ti.
Even prodigies hitting a bottleneck at this level would enter a slow phase. He hadn’t expected Lin Xin to still maintain such a rapid pace of progress...
"Not bad at all!" The yellow mist man was sowhat embarrassed. He also possessed a degree of the undead trait, his body lacking substance, thus even within Yuan Jing, he was quite troubleso.
He had just boasted in front of Zheng Qing, surprised to find that his Sacred Body had already grabbed onto his opponent yet completely unable to pose a threat.
"What about this, then!?" His entire yellow mist suddenly transford into a torso humanoid form, with two ribbon-like yellow mist rings rising behind him on either shoulder.
As the rings erged, he unleashed his Soul Domain around him, enveloping the surroundings with countless grains of yellow sand, including both Lin Xin and Zheng Qing, forming a massive sphere of yellow sand.
The three of them floated inside the sphere, the countless sands converging on the man’s arms, making them thicker and more powerful.
The two large hands clamped fiercely onto Lin Xin’s body from both sides, increasing their force, attempting to tear him in half.
"Actually, I didn’t want to have any conflict with the Shape-shifting Cave."
Lin Xin floated in place, letting the two giant hands desperately tear at him. His deanor was calm, as if he wasn’t in the enemy’s Soul Domain at all.
"If possible, we didn’t want to clash with you either, but unfortunately..." Zheng Qing sighed reluctantly, "fate is hard to defy, and it’s destined that you will threaten the people of the Central Prefecture, endangering the survival of our Shape-shifting Cave lineage."
"Is that your reason?" Lin Xin stared calmly at him.
"That’s our reason," Zheng Qing nodded, "It seems your strength has reached the point where we must use ’that’."
Turning over his left hand, he suddenly had a half-moon shaped broken copper piece in his palm.
Tossing the copper piece into the air, it imdiately emitted a faint yellow light, instantly freezing everything around it.
The rolling yellow mist, the ferocious Soul Domain yellow sand, and even the natural black aura emanating from Lin Xin’s body, everything was like insects encapsulated in amber, suddenly transitioning from motion to stillness.
"A thousand phenona, locked in one soul!"
Zheng Qing’s whole body’s energy and power, including his Soul Domain, crazily surged as if flowing into the small copper piece.
His body visibly weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye, all his breath flowing like water into the copper piece.
But the copper piece was like an abyss, frantically absorbing Zheng Qing’s power.
The range of the yellow light grew larger, quickly spreading to where Lin Xin was.
"What is this?" Lin Xin stared calmly as the yellow light covered him. He was fixed in place by the yellow mist person, but the other seed not at all worried about entrapping his ally as well; instead, he intended to solidify both of them together.
