Divine Realm Lin Family

Divine Realm, Yuan Yang Continent.

This continent is ruled by the Lin family, a powerful clan in the divine realm.

At this moment, in a secret place in the Yuan Yang Continent.

A group of experts from the Lin family are excavating an ancient battlefield.

Three years ago, the Lin family discovered this ancient battlefield, where they found relics from the Era of Calamity.

"Reporting to the God-King, more stone corpses have been discovered ahead!"

A soldier ran up quickly and spoke to a god-king.

This god-king, named Lin Lanshan, was in charge of excavating this secret land.

Upon hearing this, Lin Lanshan walked forward.

Before long, he saw a broken stone corpse ahead, with huge claws and pincers, but he didn't know what kind of creature it was.

Lin Lanshan:

"Following the previous method, cut off the entire area where the stone corpse is located and take it away. Under no circumstances should the stone corpse itself be touched."

He was very solemn, because those stone corpses contained the eerie gray mist of the Era of Calamity.

Even a single wisp of it could easily annihilate a god-king level expert.

Immediately, the Lin family experts stepped forward and carefully cut off the entire block of ground where the giant stone corpse was located.

This land is now riddled with potholes and fragmented.

In the past three years, the Lin family has removed more than ten stone corpses!

Because their Lin family Old Ancestor Lin Banyáng... attempted to use the secret to eternal life discovered from these stone corpses.

A specially designed, thousand-meter-long giant ship has also appeared, and the Lin family members are carrying this huge piece of land onto the ship.

With loading complete, the large ship is about to return to the Lin family's home.

"Huh? Who are you?!"

Suddenly someone cried out in surprise.

Everyone looked over and saw that a gray-robed old man had appeared on the stone corpse that the giant ship was carrying!

His entire being exuded an eerie aura, cold and indifferent.

His skin was petrified!

"How dare you touch the stone corpse! Do you want to die? Get down here!"

A divine lord from the Lin family stepped forward and reached out to grab the old man with his large hand.

The old man glanced at him.

"Ah--"

This deity instantly split open, his body turning to stone, and even his blood turning into a gray liquid!

"Hiss!"

For a moment, everyone in the Lin family was shocked.

"What is this thing...?"

"Strange... He can kill a god-king with just one glance, how terrifying!"

"No, he... could he be a living calamity?"

The entire Lin family was terrified.

Lin Lanshan was even more shocked and said:

"Spirit of Strangeness? A heretic?!"

He clearly knew more, and at this moment he was trembling violently. He subconsciously stepped back and said:

"Run! Run!"

He turned and ran, covered in cold sweat!

He understood what this strange old man really was.

The Strange Being recorded in legends were once the source of Era of Calamity!

These things are still alive?!

Oh no, something terrible is about to happen! Something terrible is about to happen!

Seeing that even the God King had fled, the Lin family scattered like birds and beasts.

On the massive warship, the eerie old man standing atop the stone corpse merely lowered his head and gently opened his mouth.

A thin wisp of gray mist suddenly entered his mouth from the stone corpse.

He... feeds on gray fog.

"I'm still hungry..."

The old man whispered:

"The gray fog corpses in this battlefield have been almost completely devoured..."

As he spoke, he looked up in the direction where Lin Lanshan and the others had fled.

"Hmm... it seems these ants of the Shinto world took some with them."

He lifted his foot and immediately chased after it.

Now.

Lin Family Ancestral Hall.

"Old Ancestor, you have been studying the gray fog for three years now. Have you made any progress?"

The two god-kings stood respectfully before an old man.

Half of the old man's body was almost completely rotten, making him nearly a living dead.

He was Lin Banyáng, the Sub-Emperor of the Lin family.

"The gray fog... must lead to a higher level of enlightenment."

Lin Banyáng whispered, "..."

"However, none of the Gray Mist Origin remained in those stone corpses..."

"Perhaps... I have no choice but to risk my life!"

Upon hearing this, both god-kings turned pale.

"It's all that bitch Lin Xuehan's fault back then. If she hadn't been so willful and insisted on eloping with Yun Chen, we could have formed a marriage alliance with the Reincarnation Great Emperor's clan, and perhaps even obtained a trace of the Emperor's essence..."

"Old Ancestor, you didn't need to take such a great risk!"

One of the god-kings spoke.

Lin Banyáng shook his head and said:

"Even if we had successfully formed a marriage alliance in the past, I would still have gone down this path."

"Because, the gray fog... may be the only path we can take to reach eternity!"

Upon hearing this, both god-kings nodded in agreement.

Just then, a loud shout came from outside.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Lin Lanshan rushed in frantically, his face filled with terror, and said:

"Your Venerable, something terrible has happened... Strange Being have emerged from that ancient battlefield..."

"He came to the Lineage with us!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Banyáng and the two God Kings in the main hall both had drastic changes in expression.

Or perhaps some Strange Being?

How is this possible...?

At that moment, piercing screams could be heard outside.

"Oh no... that's the direction of the ancestral hall!"

Lin Banyáng's expression changed, and he immediately led the three God Kings out to the front of the Lin Family Ancestral Shrine.

On the thousand-meter-long steps in front of the Lin Family Ancestral Shrine, a strange old man had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.

On both sides of the eerie old man, the experts guarding the ancestral hall of the Lin family died one after another, their deaths extremely gruesome, as if they had been turned to stone!

Beside Lin Banyáng, God Lin Lántiān roared:

"Activate the Clan Protection Array!"

"Smash them!"

Instantly, the Lin family's highest-level grand formation activated.

Within the Lin Family Ancestral Shrine, ten thousand divine lights erupted—the power of Sub-Emperor level—and slashed down towards the gray-mist elder!

However, the old man in the gray mist merely raised his eyes coldly and looked ahead, a flash of gray mist seemingly passing through his eyes.

Boom!

Those myriad divine lights were instantly annihilated, and the magnificent Lin Family Ancestral Shrine collapsed completely.

Smoke and dust billowed, sand and gravel flew everywhere, and the terrifying aftershocks caused countless experts from the Lin family to cough up blood.

"No..."

Lin Lanshan, Lin Lántiān, and the others couldn't help but kneel down on the ground!

"Strange Being ...this is a real Strange Being ...no!"

Lin Banyáng was trembling all over, his body shaking like a leaf, his eyes filled with terror.

He was absolutely certain... this must be the legendary gray mist creature, the bizarre being from the Era of Calamity!

That's terrifying...

His legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground.

Sub-Emperor... could only kneel in submission!

The vast Lin family mansion seemed utterly insignificant before this strange old man!

As the smoke and dust cleared, many stone corpses were revealed piled up in the Lin Family Ancestral Shrine.

Those are the items that the Lin family moved here from the ancient battlefield over the past three years.

The old man in the gray mist walked step by step toward the ancestral shrine.

The entire Lin family looked at the gray mist creature with fear and awe!

The gray mist creature entered the ruins of the Lin Family Ancestral Shrine, gently opened its mouth, and a faint gray mist immediately drifted from the stone corpses treasured by the Lin family.

He ate them all.

Lin Banyáng and the others were even more shocked... Was this the terror of the gray mist creatures?

They really do feed on gray fog...

The gray mist creature walked forward step by step, until it reached the center of what was originally the ancestral hall, when its expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly looked down at the ground of the Lin Family Ancestral Shrine and said in fear:

"No... wait, who's hiding underground?"

At this moment, the strange old man inexplicably felt a great terror, as if he were a clown who had rebelled, as if he were involved in unimaginable causes and effects.

He instantly understood that beneath the Lin Family Ancestral Shrine... there must be a figure of extremely high status, whose karmic connections were unimaginable.

And now, I've stepped on top of them.

Therefore... karma has come upon us!

"No!"

The eerie old man let out a shrill scream, and his body suddenly shattered into pieces, the Gray Mist Origin from his body also disintegrating into the ground.

The old man's wisp of remnant soul transformed into a dark light and escaped!

The entire Lin family was shocked to see this.

What happened?

Working overtime, too late.
