Lin Lei's Breakthrough (Part 1)

Although taking action at this time would certainly be punished, he couldn't just sit idly by and watch Lin Lei fall when it really came to a crisis.

With the help of the Light-Shadow Orb to comprehend the laws, he believed that it would not be difficult for him to achieve the Paragon and become the strongest among the gods. In fact, he already had a plan in mind that was not yet fully developed but he was very confident in achieving the Overgod.

At that time, he believed he wouldn't be afraid of anyone except Ofu.

But if he wants to transcend this Coiling Dragon Universe, Lin Lei is an indispensable pillar for him, so he must not let Lin Lei really fall at the hands of these million Abyssal Blade Demon.

As for punishment, Beirut is the true owner of the Graveyard of Gods, so he can't possibly be killed. At most, his status will change, and he will become a prisoner instead of a subordinate of the Overgod.

Having gained a deep understanding from previous tests and experiences that his current position in Beirut's eyes was not bad, Fengyun felt that he could bear the consequences of such a small mistake.

As Fengyun's expression gradually became serious and earnest, Tarosha couldn't help but feel uneasy, thinking to herself, "This is troublesome. I called Fengyun over because I thought that with the strength of Lin Lei, Beibei, and Olivia, this would be a problem."

"Even if we really suffer a setback on the eleventh floor, with Desli, who has almost refined his divine essence, around, we should be able to protect ourselves or escape."

"Who would have thought that such a change would happen at the very last moment when we were about to leave safely?"

"Three natal Battle Saber that were no weaker than divine artifacts were self-destructed without warning."

"As expected of creatures from the Abyss, they're quite generous!"

"Lin Lei is really brave. He was foolish enough to sacrifice himself to ensure that Olivia and Beibei could safely return to the tenth floor, buying them time to escape."

"In the end, I got what I wanted, and I've ended up in this situation, ruining my own life!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Fengyun again. With Fengyun's strength, if he really wanted to make a move, Tarosha wouldn't be able to stop him.

Just in case, he had no choice but to immediately use his Gatekeeper privileges to send a message to Beirut explaining the current situation. After all, Fengyun was brought in by Beirut, and the two had a good relationship; he believed Beirut would definitely not ignore this matter.

Or rather, even if he didn't interfere, he had already fulfilled his responsibility as Gatekeeper. If something went wrong, he could minimize his own liability.

Then he got emo because he discovered he couldn't contact Beirut.

If Beirut cannot be contacted and there is no powerful figure like Beirut to take the blame, then if something really happens, the main responsibility will fall entirely on him.

At that moment, he was so angry that all he wanted to do was curse!

In that short time, Lin Lei encountered five or six more waves of knife-wielding pursuers.

The Abyssal Blade Demon's encirclement of Lin Lei was rapidly closing in, and no matter how you looked at it, Lin Lei wouldn't last much longer.

Finally, with his escape route becoming increasingly tight, Lin Lei encountered three squads of sword demons. The squads, in groups of three to five, totaled twelve sword demons who launched an attack on Lin Lei.

In a desperate situation, Lin Lei used all his strength to unleash the Whisper of Wind to influence the souls and spirits of the Blade Demons, and used Pulse Attack to kill one of them, trying to carve out a gap in the encirclement and continue his escape.

However, the Whisper of Wind, being a method of the Laws of Wind, was ultimately affected quite a bit in the earth-elemental underground environment.

Not only did it fail to affect the sword demons for long, but the leaders of the three sword demon squads launched sword energy attacks on Lin Lei from three angles the moment they regained consciousness.

Lin Lei, who had just created an opening with his Pulse Attack, immediately used his Black Jade Greatsword and Purple Blood Soft Sword to block the first two attacks without saying a word.

However, the third attack was unstoppable; the sharp blade energy left a gruesome, blood-spurting wound on Lin Lei's transformed, scaled skin.

But Lin Lei gritted his teeth and suppressed his desire to retaliate. Using the recoil from the blow, he quickly broke out of the encirclement through the gap he had created earlier and escaped using his faster movement speed on the ground.

However, even if he escaped this time, he couldn't escape the next. As the encirclement tightened, Lin Lei was slowly trapped in a small space.

If the Abyssal Blade Demon hadn't discovered that Lin Lei was too slippery and difficult to catch on the ground, and hadn't slowly advanced layer by layer to avoid causing trouble and giving Lin Lei another chance to escape, a sudden swarm of them would have left Lin Lei facing a dangerous situation with Abyssal Blade Demon all around him.

Knock knock~

Thump~

Thump thump thump~

"This is..."

"The earth is shaking!" Feeling the tremors caused by the Abyssal Blade Demon's layered advance, the tremors that converged from all directions and overlapped around him left him utterly shocked.

The tremors caused by the Abyssal Blade Demon's relentless advance to prevent his escape, coupled with Lin Lei's intense concentration under the life-or-death crisis, allowed him to achieve another breakthrough in his understanding of the Earth Pulse.

Lin Lei, who was preparing a super move with the Coiling Dragon Ring and planning to fight his way out at the last moment, took out the Black Jade Greatsword and casually stabbed it. Using the earth as a medium, he transmitted the vibration in a wide area, instantly turning his single-target Pulse Attack into an area attack.

However, he couldn't be happy at all, because there were too many Abyssal Blade Demon around him. Even if he made a breakthrough in his Pulse Attack, it would only allow him to take more Abyssal Blade Demon down with him before he died.

His fate was still sealed – death!

But as the Abyssal Blade Demon surrounding him advanced layer by layer, the vibrations became more and more intense, and the fluctuations of the earth element became clearer and clearer. He suddenly realized something.

"They are all sounds, so why is it that the sound of these sword demons drilling holes is so clear and layered, but my Whisper of Wind is blocked by the earth, and both its power and range are greatly reduced?"

"What would happen if my Whisper of Wind could spread rapidly underground?"

At this moment, Lin Lei's thoughts began to sprout and spread like weeds.

Subconsciously, following his understanding of the Earth Element, he wielded the Black Jade Greatsword in his right hand and the Purple Blood Soft Sword in his left, simultaneously mobilizing the wind and earth elemental energies within his body.

When he used earth element to envelop the whispering Whisper of Wind driven by wind element energy, the obstruction to the Whisper of Wind, which was originally severely disrupted when cast underground, was greatly reduced in an instant.

Lin Lei even discovered that after eliminating the influence of the earth element, the Whisper of Wind became much more powerful on the earth.

His mere experimental move caused the Abyssal Blade Demon in front of him to instantly enter a state of spiritual confusion.

"Elemental interference, hahaha~, as expected, my Whisper of Wind is severely interfered with. Its transmission underground is even worse than the sound transmission of the Blade Demon's simple drilling. This is because the wind and earth elements are interfering with each other!"
