Better Not to Meet

"Grand Elder Jiu Feng, Grand Elder Jiu Feng, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Mu Di and the other powerful Nine Phoenix Clan hurriedly went to greet them.

"Lin Dong, I never expected you to have reached the Great Symbol Sect realm at such a young age!!"

Jiu Feng abruptly pushed away the two clansmen who tried to help him, and looked at Lin Dong on the steps with a mixture of resentment and disbelief.

"Commander Lin, the Great Palace Master of the Four Symbols Palace, is actually a Great Symbol Sect comparable to Cycle Stage Expert. He's been hiding his true strength for a long time."

"With Commander Lin in charge, the Four Symbols Palace's foundation is probably even deeper than that of the Eight Royal Clans."

"Tsk, the Great Symbol Sect, the highest rank of a legendary Talisman Master. Did this Commander Lin start cultivating from the womb?"

The massive crowd reacted even more intensely, with exclamations of amazement and shock coming one after another.

"So you should just stay outside the hall obediently. Now that you've gone down, don't come back," Lin Dong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the gaunt Jiu Feng remained silent.

Even at his peak, he could barely manage to Devouring Heavenly Corpse.

Now, severely injured, he is no longer able to stand on the steps.

"This time, I, Jiu Feng, admit Mu Di, let's go."

Jiu Feng looked up at the sky and sighed deeply. After hurriedly leaving behind a single sentence, he turned and left.

Great Elder Mu Di and the others were too ashamed to remain, and slunk off as they followed.

"Great Elder Zhu Li, Great Elder Kun Yuan, Elder Liu Qing, with this Devouring Heavenly Corpse, comparable to Cycle Stage Expert, guarding the way, no one can get up here. Miss Ling'er and I are here to receive the inheritance of the Devouring Master, and we still need some time. The three of you should lead your teams back."

Lin Dong withdrew his gaze and looked at the remaining three Overlord Clan.

"Well, whatever~"

Elder Zhu Li came to assist Lin Dong on the orders of the Master of Space. Kun Yuan saw that his clansmen had already Devouring Heavenly Corpse, so he had no objection. Liu Qing Qingye, who wanted to seize the inheritance, was powerless to do so. So the three clans withdrew at the same time.

"Let's go too."

Little Marten and Little Flame Lin Dong, then left with four members of the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan. For some reason, the Nine-Lives Sky Cat Tribe also followed.

For a time, of the Four Overlord Clans Eight Royal Clans, only the four Royal Clan remained steadfast.

The various forces of the Demon Domain, led by the four Royal Clan, remained outside the palace, unwilling to give up, waiting for something.

What if they fail the Trial? Or what if things take a turn for the better after they withdraw? Would they then be able to get a share of the profits?

"Very well, you can stay here and keep watch."

Having guessed everyone's thoughts, Lin Dong smiled, turned around, and together with Kun Ling'er, pushed open the door of the Devouring Divine Palace and stepped inside.

Outside the hall, the Devouring Heavenly Corpse, wielding a black longsword, once again transformed into a statue, gazing indifferently and silently at the sea of people.

The outer edge of the Wild Wilderness.

The cloudless sky resembled a shattered mirror, riddled with wounds, upon which hung enormous and menacing vortex black holes and countless spatial rifts.

Everything silently testifies that a tremendous battle once took place here.

The Silver Robe Man, standing suspended in mid-air, leisurely addressed the four aged figures approaching from afar. "How is it? Has everything been taken care of?"

"My lord, both the Ghost Abyss King and the Dark Abyss King have been executed."

The leader, a powerful expert at the Two-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation, replied respectfully.

"Now that it's cleaned up, we should go."

The Master of Space gently stroked the void with his large hand, and the wounds and cracks that covered the entire void disappeared as if gently stroked by an invisible hand. The super-large spatial barrier that covered the entire world also dissipated.

"My lord, shouldn't you go and see the Devouring Master?"

The white-haired old man cautiously offered his reminder.

Upon hearing this Master of Space was slightly taken aback and suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he said softly, "Senior Devour has already left. Going to see him would only add to my sorrow. It's better not to see him."

"Yes, my lord."

The four aged figures then fell silent.

"Hey, let's go..."

Youyou sigh fell, and a spatial vortex slowly appeared, swallowing the Master of Space and the others before disappearing.

"Call out!"

An ancient rune wrapped in a silver light was left behind, and after a buzzing sound, it accelerated its escape into the depths of the Wild Wilderness.

Darkness, endless darkness.

Everything was pitch black; it felt like a dark world.

However, it is even more bizarre than the Dark World, because this Dark Space is constantly draining all the power from the intruder's body, including their Origin Energy power, Mental Energy, and even physical power.

This was everything that Lin Dong and his companion encountered when they entered the hall.

He immediately activated the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to shield himself from the Dark Space's theft of his power. However, the Devouring Power from the outside seemed to be even stronger than what he Ancestral Symbol Master, possessed.

"Miss Ling'er, be careful. This is the Devouring Great Realm, and it should be a Trial challenge set up for us by the Devouring Master. Activate the Devouring Power within you and try to shield yourself from external fluctuations."

Relying on his memory, Lin Dong turned and looked in one direction, only to find darkness all around him.

"I'm trying to activate it, but the external Devouring Power is far stronger than I can control. I can't hold on much longer."

From the darkness, a slightly weary, delicate female voice rang out.

"It can't really be considered the purest form of Devouring Power."

Lin Dong, still composed, seemed to be deep in thought. He stretched out his arm and beckoned in that direction, immediately pulling a soft, boneless body into his arms.

"What are you doing? Let go!"

The beauty, suddenly "attacked," instinctively cried out, her delicate body instantly tensing up as her jade arm, imbued with immense Mental Energy, lashed out at Lin Dong's chest with lightning speed.

"Stop messing around, I'm just trying to help you."

In the darkness, Lin Dong's right arm precisely grasped Kun Ling'er's fair wrist, pulled her down, and intertwined their fingers.

Before the beauty could even resist, the next moment, a vast, ocean-like Devouring Power flowed continuously into Kun Ling'er's body through their clasped hands, domineeringly enveloping the smaller, huddled Black Intent and then covering her entire body.

A warm, gentle energy flowed slowly through the jade-like woman's limbs and bones, striving to shield her from external energy interference.

"Hmm~"

Feeling warm all over, Kun Ling'er couldn't help but let out a soft moan, then immediately covered her mouth and said casually, "Thank you, I misunderstood you just now."

"Of course you misunderstood me. What? You think I'm not dying fast enough? That I have to molest his bloodline descendant in the Devouring Divine Palace, where the remnants of the Devouring Master Lord's will might still remain?"

Lin Dong said irritably.

Damn it, I lent that big-breasted girl a lot of Devouring Power, but ended up in a pretty mess myself. This Dark Space is really weird.

"I'm... I'm sorry. Also, you can just call me Ling'er."

After a long while, a weak voice finally rang out in the darkness.
