Hope of Resurrection
"No, there are many traces of the Devouring Master's existence."
"I have encountered the remnants and imprints of the Devouring Master in the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, the Devouring Divine Palace, the Devouring Heavenly Corpse, and the Reincarnation Sea. They are our hope for resurrecting the Devouring Master, so I made a bold attempt to collect them together."
"One day, the Five Remnants the spirit automatically merged into a fragmented Primal Spirit, so I placed it deep within the Ancestral Stone to nurture it until now, which is how this thing was formed."
Lin Dong opened his palm, and a ball of light, resembling a vortex black hole, appeared. As the vortex black hole writhed and rotated, it continuously devoured the energy between heaven and earth to replenish itself.
"This is the aura of my junior brother being devoured?!"
The tears streaming down the Master of Life and Death abruptly stopped. He stared blankly at the ball of light and murmured:
"It can barely be considered as the Primal Spirit of my junior brother, but it is still too incomplete. Even if I personally take action, and with the help of the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol and the Life and Life and Death Coffin, the hope of successfully returning with this Primal Spirit is no more than 50%."
"Isn't half a hope enough? Before, it was always zero."
"Even if there is only a sliver of hope, we must find a way to resurrect the Devouring Master. After all, for us, the worst outcome is that the Devouring Master cannot return successfully, but he has already fallen. There can be no worse outcome, so there is no need to feel guilty."
Lin Dong smiled and asked in return.
"Yes, you're right. A 50% success rate is already a luxury for us right now; it's always been zero. I must resurrect Junior Brother Devourer. Devourer died for us; don't we even have the courage to try once for him?"
"I need to go back to my clan first to retrieve the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol. With the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol and the Life and Death Coffin as my aid, I will have a greater chance of success. I will try to revive and devour my junior brother in the Demon Suppressing Prison while purifying those Tens of Millions of Yi Mo."
The Master of Life and Death wiped away the tears from her cheeks, her expression once again becoming incredibly resolute. The familiar Eldest Senior Sister of the Eight Ancient Masters had returned.
"Don't hurt LingShan, she's very kind."
Lin Dong thought for a moment, then said with concern.
"Rest assured, I have been in charge of the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol since its inception, and my feelings for the Ancestral Symbol Spirit are definitely deeper than anyone else's."
The Master of Life and Death nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Give me the Primal Spirit of my junior brother who has been devoured."
Lin Dong solemnly presented the ball of light with both hands.
It represents the last hope for the resurrection of the Devouring Master, and is also the last trace of the Devouring Master's past activity in this world. If it is gone, then there will truly be nothing left.
"Buzz!"
The Life and Death Coffin opens automatically, releasing an immense amount of Life Qi that surges forth like a tidal wave. Even critically ill patients who are on the verge of death can be instantly healed simply by taking a breath of it. It is a supreme Sacred Object in the Life and Death Creation.
"Is this the legendary Life and Death Coffin that can connect Reincarnation and reverse Life and Death? It is indeed strange. The Great Desolation Stele of the sect is far superior."
Ming Xuan lowered his head as if he had a premonition, and saw that the barren land was suddenly covered and filled with endless greenery, which in an instant expanded into a circle with a diameter of over a hundred feet.
"Junior Brother Devourer, you wait for me."
The Master of Life and Death took the ball of light and solemnly placed it into the Life and Death Coffin. Then, he carefully closed the coffin lid, afraid of waking someone who was sleeping.
"I'm leaving. Notify me if the Demon Prison launches a full-scale attack."
The Master of Life and Death put away the Life and Death Coffin and exchanged the Life and Death Seal and Death and the Devouring Seal with Lin Dong as a link for communication.
"Before the Devouring Master returns, do not tell the other Ancient Masters this news. I fear that the greater their hopes, the greater their disappointment."
Lin Dong called out to the Master of Life and Death, who was about to turn around.
"... clear."
The Master of Life and Death remained silent for a moment, then tore through the void and departed.
"Senior Ming Xuan, let's go. I'll take you to visit Jiang Xue, the current Sect Master of the Eagle Sect. She is the one recognized by the Tablet Spirit the Great Desolation Stele."
Lin Dong looked at the sect guardian had remained silent.
"Jiang Xue? Okay, let's go meet her then."
Ming Xuan nodded, and he and Lin Dong disappeared from the spot.
On the earth, a small patch of green slowly spreads into the distance.
Lin City, Great Yan Dynasty.
"Has the Demon King beneath the Great Desolation Stele been annihilated?"
Seeing Lin Dong arrive looking travel-worn, Lin Dong Ying Huanhuan had just given herself to him, was clearly very clingy and affectionately stepped forward to straighten his slightly disheveled clothes.
"It has already been dealt with casually, but the True Demon King who led the Demon Prison army to attack the Great Desolate Sect is your old rival— the Ninth King Palace."
Lin Dong closed his eyes, enjoying his lover's attentive service with contentment.
"Ninth King Palace? He's just a king who barely stepped into the Second Reincarnation Tribulation. He's no match for me. Let him die if he wants."
Ying Huanhuan kept her hands busy and smiled casually.
"Yes, we'll return to the sect tomorrow."
Lin Dong embraced the beauty in his arms, inhaling her Youyou fragrance, and spoke softly.
Since the Eastern Xuan Region was free of Demonic Disaster, the large number of the Dao Sect elites stationed in the Great Yan Dynasty no longer needed to exist. They all followed Lin Dong back to his sect, leaving only a few Death Mysterious Stage elders to take turns guarding the area.
However, Lin Dong was not worried about the safety of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Firstly, the Great Yan Dynasty and the Dao Sect have Teleportation Array that allows them to reach each other instantly.
Secondly, with the Eagle Sect and the Great Yan Dynasty supporting each other, and with Ming Xuan, a powerful expert at the Samsara Stage Realm, in charge, they can handle most petty villains.
Thirdly, Lin Dong left behind his fully upgraded Devouring Heavenly Corpse.
Even ordinary Cycle Stage Expert can easily kill the Devouring Heavenly Corpse.
The next day.
Under the instructions of Lin Xiao wife, Lin Dong, along with the Blind Old Man, An Ran, and other elites of the Dao Sect, successfully returned to the sect via the Great Spatial Teleportation Array connecting Lin City to the Dao Sect.
Eastern Xuan Region, Dao Sect.
"Big brother!"
A burly figure flew over, his dark, rough skin revealing a faint purple-gold hue, and Intent of Reincarnation lingered around him.
"It seems the Primeval Desolation Ancestral Symbol has been refined?"
Lin Dong looked the newcomer up and down and smiled.
"Yes, the Reincarnation Stage has also been entered."
Xiaoyan touched his head and smiled honestly.
"Little Marten, look, now the three of us brothers are really only missing you, still wasting your time Reincarnation Stage. Let's see what excuse you have left to slack off."
Lin Dong turned to look at the handsome young man beside him.
"I'm going back to the Demon Domain to go into seclusion right away. You just wait for Lord Marten!"
The Little Marten, deeply provoked, gritted its teeth and swore an oath on the spot.
"Alright, I'll go back with my Second Brother. The Sky Cat Demon Commander is constantly urging me to return to the Four Symbols Palace to take charge. The palace really can't be without a palace master."
Little Flame nodded seriously.
"An Ran, wait for me. I'll come back to find you after I break through to the Reincarnation Stage."
Little Marten glanced at the pretty girl beside him and said casually.
"Fine, fine. Don't come back to see me until you break through to the Reincarnation Stage."
The girl named An Ran smiled, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth.
Little Marten: "..."
Damn it, what exactly does that Lord Marten like?!
