An Astonishing Idea More Important Than a Treasure!

Wow!

A dazzling white light enveloped the world.

The surrounding Universe Space completely collapsed. Countless Space Fragments flowed around Lin Yan and Qi Ku, but they were directly destroyed by the impact of their battle.

This battle has completely surpassed the level of World Master; it possesses a power that only Immortal God can achieve!

"Pfft!" Qi Ku's body shuddered and flew thousands of kilometers away. A Gem Sword with a dazzling halo pierced his chest. Powerful purification Annihilation energy was transmitted into his body and raged within Qi Ku's body. Mercury-like blood spurted from his mouth.

"How... how is this possible?"

The Lightning Chain drooped down, the electric sparks flowing on them dimmed, and the enormous lightning on Qi Ku's body gradually dissipated. His body trembled as he gazed at the golden-winged, white-haired holy figure in the distance, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Just a domain lord.

He's just a domain lord.

As World Lord peak, defeating Immortal God was something the Prison Race had only seen once in countless years, yet... he actually lost to a Domain Lord?

What gives him the right?

How is that possible?

It wasn't that Qi Ku couldn't accept failure, but rather that this failure was completely unreasonable and illogical, making it utterly incomprehensible to him.

In fact.

This is something that is almost impossible to replicate.

Whether it's mastering the first level of "The Primordial Beginning" at the Cosmic level, or Life Gene Level and Soul Amplitude, these are things that most King level Immortal wouldn't even dare to imagine.

Not to mention.

In the final moment, Lin Yan unleashed his Talent Secret Method "Annihilation," causing his strength to surge dozens of times over in a short period. Even in terms of energy level, Qi Ku was not enough to widen the gap between him!

"Annihilation" is a talent similar to that of Immortal God Burning Divine Body. At the cost of the complete collapse of their body, Origin Force, and psychic power, Annihilation themselves in exchange for greater power.

Lin Yan first used the "Heavenly Punishment" secret technique to attack Qi Ku's soul. Fortunately, although Qi Ku was affected, he was still able to barely resist, because Qi Ku's Talent Secret Method was Soul Defense, which was also a major factor in his ability to fight against Immortal God in the past.

But--

In that instant, the power Lin Yan could unleash surpassed that of World Lord peak, allowing him to fully unleash the ultimate power of the Extreme Divine Weapon!

That is to say... theoretically, it could even kill Immortal God!

Certainly.

The body of Immortal God is already composed of Immortal Divine Power, containing energy and Life Imprint. When that Immortal Divine Power is gathered together, it can be transformed into an Immortal Divine Body once again.

Even ordinary Immortal God, who are not "Undying Body," are very difficult to kill; there is a huge difference between defeating and killing them.

However... Qi Ku is different. Even though he is very strong, he is ultimately just World Master, and there is a qualitative difference between him and the Immortal God in some aspects.

"You are very strong."

The terrifying figure of Qi Ku, covered in hideous bone spurs, straightened up, looked at Lin Yan, opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak, and finally only said this one sentence.

"You too." The figure in the air, shrouded in intense fluctuations of law, looked down at him and spoke in a faintly sacred voice.

Qi Ku nodded, then his gaze slowly dimmed. He looked up at the sky, where the Black Cloud were dissipating and the lightning had instantly vanished. In a flash, the sky and the air were clear and bright.

Lin Yan's eyes were calm. His Extreme Divine Weapon form instantly disintegrated, turning into countless Mirror Crystal. At the same time, the Sea of Light Sword piercing Qi Ku's chest once again shone with dazzling brilliance.

"Laugh!"

Sword light flashed, countless powerful sword energies burst forth, the Life Core shattered, and the body of the Qi Ku fell heavily to the ground.

The countless Mirror Crystal reassembled and reformed into the Gem Sword. Lin Yan examined it for a moment, then looked at the corpse of the Qi Ku and said softly, "If it weren't for the Yongluo Armor, I wouldn't be standing here right now."

The final killing move of the Qi Ku was more powerful than Lin Yan had imagined.

If it were a clash of weapons, the remaining power after the weapons had blocked it would be much weaker. Lin Yan understood that since he had already used his talent "Annihilation", he could no longer choose to continue the stalemate with Qi Ku.

Otherwise, the only option is to let the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone clean up the mess.

So... Lin Yan ultimately chose to Trading Blows, without using any weapon to parry. Lin Yan's sword pierced directly into Qi Ku's body, and Qi Ku's Lightning Chain also lashed out at Lin Yan.

He could clearly feel the terrifying power of the Qi Ku's final killing move. Even the "Tai Sui Armor" transformed by the Tai Sui Tree Spirit, which had evolved to the World Lord peak, could not withstand it. However... in addition to the Tai Sui Armor, Lin Yan also had an even stronger Yongluo Armor protecting his body.

The Yongluo Armor is a preferred battle armor among Feng Wang Immortal God. It has extremely strong Material Defense capabilities. First Stage World Lord Level can withstand non- Soul Attack from those below the Immortal level without sustaining any damage when using the Yongluo Armor.

Even the attacks of Immortal God can be greatly weakened, so Lin Yan forcibly endured this blow. After the attack of the Qi Ku was weakened, the remaining impact was completely blocked by the Tai Sui Tree Spirit, and it did not cause any damage to Lin Yan at all.

The energy torrent of the "Star Flame Crystal" surged into Lin Yan's body, and his body was constantly recovering. These injuries were caused by using the Talent Secret Method "Annihilation".

He was already in an invincible position.

Lin Yan withdrew his gaze, his mental power sweeping across the corpse of the Qi Ku, taking away all the items that appeared after the collapse of his Inner World.

After a quick look, he didn't find what he was looking for. Checking the system, the opportunity prompts hadn't changed at all because of Qi Ku's death.

Lin Yan frowned slightly. "Where exactly is the Heart of Purgatory that Golden Axe Venerable spoke of?"

Lin Yan originally thought that, according to normal logic, the "Heart of Purgatory" was likely in the hands of Qi Ku, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

"Since it has nothing to do with the Qi Ku."

"Then... there's still one possibility left." Lin Yan pondered.

He gazed into the distance, his eyes seemingly piercing through layers of space. With a flap of his Star Wings, he transformed into a streak of light and sped off.

After a long while.

Only after the battle fluctuations here completely disappeared did some powerful warriors from the Purgatory who possessed special life-saving abilities muster the courage to approach and find out what was going on.

"The Thunder World just now was created by Qi Ku."

"That human is far too arrogant, daring to be so rampant in Purgatory."

"However, his strength is indeed terrifying. He actually killed Yaoke. A domain lord killing Yaoke is simply terrifying!"

"So what if it's terrifying... This time his opponent is Qi Ku. With Qi Ku's methods, this human is doomed."

As they approached, they communicated telepathically, clearly demonstrating their extreme faith in and even reverence for Qi Ku.

These powerful Prison Race World Master Lords cautiously observed their surroundings.

Suddenly--

"Oh my god."

"How is that possible?"

"That human... who exactly is that human?"

They stared in shock at the corpse of the Qi Ku on the ground, their bodies trembling violently, their minds blank. Even the strongest being in Purgatory — Qi Ku —had died at the hands of that Domain Lord level human!

The center of the Purgatory Divine Kingdom.

A towering, suspended mountain range stood majestically, with flames raging beneath it and black smoke billowing from its crimson surface.

Behind the mountains, black smoke twisted into tadpole-like characters of the Prison Race, recording simple messages about all the Prison Race beings imprisoned in the Purgatory Divine Kingdom.

Flame Mountain!

This is the most majestic place in the Purgatory Divine Kingdom. Ever since the King Chili's God Kingdom became a major prison for the Prison Race, it has imprisoned tens of thousands of Prison Race World Master, but no powerful individual has ever dared to occupy this place.

Besides "Qi Ku"!

After Qi Ku occupied the Flame Mountain, apart from the powerful who had submitted to him, no one else dared to set foot on the Flame Mountain.

And at this moment—

A handsome young man was walking slowly through the Flame Mountain, his combat boots treading on the scorching rocks as he strolled forward.

"They escaped so quickly; they're certainly well-informed." He shook his head and smiled.

Even in the Purgatory Abyss, there are simple means of communication. Obviously, news of his killing of the Qi Ku has spread, and naturally no one dares to provoke him, so they all hide away.

Lin Yan was indifferent to this.

He's not that bored.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Heart of Purgatory should be located in this Flame Mountain," Lin Yan thought to himself.

The Flame Mountain is the core of the Purgatory Divine Kingdom, and this is the most likely place where the "Heart of Purgatory" is connected.

"Let's look around first; maybe we can find some clues."

The Flame Mountain are tens of millions of kilometers long and tens of millions of kilometers high. Although Lin Yan was not confident, it wouldn't be a big deal if he wasted some time on this matter.

So... Lin Yan carefully searched and investigated the Flame Mountain Range with his mental power, but the suppression and restraint within the Divine Kingdom were very strong. Even if Lin Yan amplified his mental power, he could only search a range of several thousand kilometers.

Two days later.

His eyes flickered slightly, his control over his mental power became more precise, and a look of confusion gradually appeared on his face.

"There is indeed more to this Flame Mountain than meets the eye."

His heart stirred, and he was about to enter the mountain to find out what was going on, but after thinking about it, he decided not to act rashly. Instead, he left the Flame Mountain first and then released the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.

The crystal nucleus then returns to its own body.

"It would be much more convenient for the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone to investigate than for me to do it myself. Even if there are any dangers involved, we can adapt to the situation." Lin Yan thought to himself as he looked at the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.

Wow!

With a flap of its wings, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone Blade Wings quickly returned to Flame Mountain. Its three pairs of eyes looked down at the floating mountain range, with a faint black light flowing in its eyes.

Then it quickly swooped down, using the "Divine Speed Storm" technique to directly enter the interior of the Flame Mountain.

"As expected, my feeling just now was right," Lin Yan thought to himself.

The sensation wasn't very noticeable on the outside, but the closer he got to the inside, the more he could feel the flowing flame energy within the Flame Mountain, with strands of flame energy being refined and absorbed into it.

Boom!

Suddenly, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone stopped moving, feeling an incredibly powerful pressure inside the Flame Mountain.

Slowing down, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone continued to cautiously venture deeper inside.

"This is..." The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone broke through a barrier and saw faint flames ahead, boiling heat, and a pungent sulfur smell. There was a whole different world in this Flame Mountain.

Endless magma churned, and countless fierce flames spread into the surrounding space. Even with the strength of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone, the intense heat was somewhat uncomfortable.

Wow!

The psychic power surged forth like a tidal wave, seeping into the Purgatory Fire Sea before them and rapidly spreading outwards.

"Hmm?" A hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.

His figure rushed into the magma. In the center of the magma was a crystal-clear mountain peak, standing in the boundless lava.

All the fiery energy was absorbed by this crystal-clear mountain peak. At the core of the peak was a black and red "heart," which seemed to be made of extremely High Temperature liquid and beat slowly within the mountain.

"This is the 'Heart of Purgatory'?"

The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone tried to penetrate the mountain crystal with its psychic power, but the crystal seemed to have a strong restriction on the ethereal psychic power, making it impossible to penetrate.

Even attempting to draw upon the World Power the World Ring was unsuccessful.

"Does this mean we have to break through this mountain to obtain the 'Heart of Purgatory' within?" Lin Yan thought and thought, but couldn't come up with any other way.

The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone spread its mental power, first checking whether the surrounding environment was safe. After finding nothing unusual, its body quickly spread with complex dark green secret patterns, and then it used the "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body" to Body Amplitude!

Although Lin Yan initially mastered the "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body" due to his special physique, this Amplitude Secret Method does not conflict with the Green Line Devouring Worm. With his current mastery of the "Nine Refinements of Flame Crystal Body," he only needed to study it for a period of time before he could use the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone as well.

Moreover, the "Black Hole Force Field" Green Line Devouring Worm can also be used, but this secret technique is more suitable for Lin Yan himself, and the Domain Lord level Green Line Devouring Worm cannot unleash its true power.

"Laugh!"

A dark glint of light flashed!

A huge rift was torn open in the Universe Space, and the dark blade light slashed at the crystal-clear mountain peak!

Boom!

Rumble!

The massive, crystalline mountain trembled violently, and then the entire Flame Mountain Range shook in response.

"Buzz..."

The crystal-clear mountain trembled, and a powerful aura emanated from its body, as if it had awakened from a deep slumber. The immense aura shook the Universe Space, causing it to crack everywhere.

Who has disturbed my slumber?

A deep sound arose, and the endless magma began to surge.

"Hmm?" The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone's expression immediately changed, and it retreated rapidly, trying to leave this place as quickly as possible.

But--

The crystal-clear mountain peak began to transform, becoming a figure over four thousand meters tall, composed of countless crystal-clear rocks. Black and red flames swirled around the rocky surface of its entire body, and a black and red heart slowly beat on its chest.

He looked down at the Green Line Devouring Worm below.

The powerful divine might enveloped it, and the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone instantly.

Rumble...

The endless flames suddenly surged, like a divine dragon made of fire, instantly sweeping across a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, burning towards the Green Line Devouring Worm.

"Damn little bug..."

"You deserve to die!"

That flame contained the Law of Fire. Only Immortal God had truly comprehended the Law of Fire could easily manipulate such a flame. The area emanating from the flame... was the kingdom of the gods!

The true Law Domain!

Faced with the endless flames rushing towards it, the Green Line Devouring Worm suddenly let out an angry roar.

Rumble...

The Black Hole Force Field erupted suddenly, forming a huge energy vortex around the Green Line Devouring Worm's body. The tearing and twisting force directly affected and pressed down on the burning Law Flame.

However, under that Law Domain, the Black Hole Force Field unleashed by the Green Line Devouring Worm only lasted for a moment before shattering like a bubble, utterly powerless to resist.

A frenzied flame ignited in the eyes of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.

Boom!

In an instant, nearly a hundred clones were released from the World Ring he carried!

The Black Hole Force Field erupted again!

"Roar..."

The Green Line Devouring Worm tried their best to control their "self-awareness," but controlling so many clones at the same time still put a huge burden on them. The clones only had 40% of their strength left. However, with the combined efforts of many Green Line Devouring Worm, the power of the Black Hole Force Field was amplified and burst out with tremendous power!

The Law Flame continued to burn, but they seemed to be locked in a stalemate within the powerful Black Hole Force Field.

Although the Black Hole Force Field is still at a disadvantage, it has managed to withstand the attack.

"Rumble..." Huge cracks tore open in the Universe Space, causing layers of space to shatter and form Space Turbulence.

"What is this?" The Rock Giant in the flames spewed black and red flames from its nostrils, bewildered by what was happening before its eyes.

Why did so many suddenly appear?

What kind of secret technique is this that can rival one's own Law Domain?

This is actually Domain Lord level?

Who's kidding me?

Who am I kidding?

"Useless! The Law Domain is merely an accessory. Immortal God fight amongst themselves and have no interest in using the Law Domain." The Rock Giant in the flames let out a deep roar, and then a huge Divine Hammer appeared in his hand.

Boom!

Suppress them!

Millions of kilometers away from the Flame Mountain.

Endless energy surged into the Void Space from the crystal nucleus, gathering at the central core. A large amount of energy continuously merged into it, eventually forming a massive cube forged from countless crystals.

"Boom!"

The enormous cube suddenly cracked, its crystal surface covered with fine cracks, and then it disintegrated instantly.

The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone were reborn from it.

"It's... it's Immortal God!" Lin Yan was still somewhat in a daze.

"Just how much does the Chaos City Lord think of me?" Lin Yan smiled wryly. "What merit do I possess to be thought to have the potential to complete this mission?"

He was completely dumbfounded.

Don't be fooled by his previous killing of the Qi Ku; killing the Qi Ku and killing Immortal God are completely different things.

Moreover... that was definitely not an ordinary Immortal God!

Even with all its might, the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone could only barely withstand the Rock Giant's Law Domain. This Rock Giant was definitely not the bottom line for Immortal God.

"What should we do?"

"With the strength of this Rock Giant, how can I obtain the 'Heart of Purgatory'?" Lin Yan pondered.

"I can only spend a maximum of 60 years in the Purgatory Divine Kingdom. In that time, the gains I can make, whether in terms of improving my energy level or Law Comprehension, will be very limited."

Without Nutrient Pod or Nutrient Fluid, and without the subsequent "Chaos Principle" and "Black Hole Evolution," his further improvement would be limited if he relied solely on himself.

"The Chaos City Lord must have been aware of my predicament, which is why he conveniently presented me with such a difficult problem," Lin Yan said, shaking his head.

He needs to wait for the Domain Lord level to return to Wu Chen Time-Space before he can evolve into the Nutrient Pod and sell the treasures he obtained before to exchange for points.

Before coming to the Purgatory Abyss, even if he wanted to prepare his own Nutrient Fluid, his points wouldn't allow it, so he invested all of them in supporting Plant Lifeform.

"If Sha Luo Flower my side, there might be a sliver of a chance, but given my current situation, there is absolutely no chance."

Should the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone use the Extreme Divine Weapon?

However, although the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone's Life Gene Level is far higher than Lin Yan's main body, Lin Yan's main body has a special physique bonus when using it. In reality, the power it can unleash will not exceed the sword strike Lin Yan unleashed when he used "Annihilation".

Moreover... even at its maximum power, the Extreme Divine Weapon can only face the most ordinary Immortal God.

The most ordinary Immortal God, with his pure Immortal Divine Body power estimated to be 100 times that of World Lord peak, Law Comprehension reaching the Tongtian Bridge 10th floor.

However, Lin Yan knew very well that this Rock Giant had completely exceeded the limits of the Extreme Divine Weapon.

"It seems we have no choice but to give up. However... the Chaos City Lord wouldn't make a fuss without reason. Perhaps there's some way to restrain him in the Purgatory Divine Kingdom."

Lin Yan still didn't want to give up.

That's a priceless treasure!

If you don't seize this opportunity, you never know when you'll encounter another one.

"It's a pity that I don't have the Soldier Armor of Luo Feng's soldiers and General Armor from the original novel, but I don't have it, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to use it."

Thinking about this, Lin Yan was truly envious.

If Luo Feng hadn't possessed the Yan God Clan Battle Armor from the Jie Jia series, he wouldn't have been able to achieve the Invincible Feng Wang World Lord level.

Lin Yan knew that he would likely remain at the World Lord level for many years, and the disadvantage of insufficient basic power would always accompany him, which was difficult to overcome.

"I searched the Virtual Universe System and, apart from the Yan God Clan Battle Armor, I really haven't seen any treasures with this kind of ability. Even if there are, the improvement would only be average."

"The Mountain Master is indeed as powerful as a reincarnation of a god-king."

Lin Yan shook his head, suppressing the envy in his heart. Even so, he would not change his path for the sake of a mere Yan God Clan Battle Armor.

So what if the World Lord level is a bit weaker? I'll just not be reckless.

Suddenly--

Lin Yan was startled, then remembered something, his eyes lit up instantly, and a huge surge of joy rose in his heart.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he exclaimed, "I've been so stupid! I've been so stupid!"

"I clearly have a way. What kind of Yan God Clan Battle Armor do I need!"

Lin Yan suddenly realized that the answer to the problem of weak basic strength lay within him; he already possessed it!

He was even more excited than if he had obtained a great treasure!

Because the idea that arises from this flash of inspiration is more valuable and more meaningful than any precious treasure!

"Many Auxiliary Life forms can possess other beings to gain greater power, but... the borrowed power cannot be fully integrated, and the secret techniques cannot unleash its true power!"

"Then, I'll just make this power my own!"

The answer has always been there.

Green Line Devouring Worm!

The Talent Secret Method "Parasitism"!
