One look!!?
Zhang Xinfan, who had once again emerged from the crack, felt a chill in his heart that almost froze his entire body.
How is that possible!?
"He was clearly about to give up... his strength was dwindling, why!?"
Zhang Xinfan knew in his heart that there must be something he had overlooked that caused him to be unable to withstand even a single glance from Lin Hui.
"Something's not right! What's wrong with this?! Even against the Seven Extinctions, the difference in strength shouldn't be this great!?"
He didn't believe it! He must be hallucinating, or he must have been exposed for some fatal flaw.
At that moment, he actually stopped in his tracks, no longer daring to charge forward.
Meanwhile, the Gray Roc revived, roaring as it threw a punch at Lin Hui. But before it could even get close, its speed also decreased, until it froze halfway through its attack, its body shattering into golden Ashes.
The next second, Gray Roc revived, but he too dared not go up again.
If it were before, the recovery of a portion of their bodies would have been due to their own abilities, so there would be no need to Heart Disaster. But now, if they continue to die like this, their subsequent recovery will likely depend entirely on the physical and mental recovery bestowed by the calamity itself.
Such a recovery depletes their accumulated knowledge!
If they hadn't just made a fortune off the civilians of the Endless Divine Clan, they wouldn't have dared to launch this sneak attack plan at all.
But now, they can't even get close to Lin Hui, so their so-called plan, if they continue to persist, will probably be in vain.
"This guy... he's hiding his true strength too well. He never uses the transformed Disaster Energy, always only using the basic Wind Disaster to deal with the outside world. In reality, his true strength is at least dozens of times greater than what he appears to be! And that sword just now, one strike could devour and destroy our bodies once. If this continues... I'm afraid..." The two finally began to consider retreating.
Swish!
Once again, the two separated and approached Lin Hui from another direction.
But before it could get very close to Lin Hui, it suddenly transformed into the Sea Roar Force and the power of Ashes.
After recovering, the two looked extremely pale and didn't even dare to get close to each other again.
It could only hover outside the crack, completely still.
"Let's end it completely." Lin Hui sighed, his hand instantly grasping the Sun Eater, channeling Wind Energy into it.
This time, with his fate completely in his grasp, Gray Roc and Zhang Xinfan posed no threat to him.
The problem now is the special transparent crystal that's forcibly sealing him off.
Swish!
The next moment, the Sun Eater suddenly swung its hand towards the empty void.
This time, Lin Hui held nothing back, injecting all of his current converted Wind Energy.
A speck of blackish-red light suddenly flew out from the tip of the sword and then exploded.
Boom!!!
A dazzling red light engulfed everything.
Along with the two cracks, everything within this rectangular space was swallowed up and vanished in that instant.
By injecting all the Wind Energy and combining it with the devouring power of the Sun Eater itself, the two finally...
Directly in front of Lin Hui, a semi-transparent giant crack suddenly appeared in the void.
Outside the rift, the true Black Domain was faintly visible.
The sword strike was indeed successful, but Lin Hui froze in place, staring blankly at his own chest.
There, a sharp spear gleaming with a golden luster had appeared out of nowhere.
The spearhead pierced his heart and emerged from his chest.
"An imperceptible blow."
Not only was it undetectable, but even the layers of Wind Energy barriers around him and the Surrounding Wind effects couldn't stop this spear. It seemed to grow out of thin air from inside his heart. It was incredibly strange and impossible to dodge.
"It really took a lot of effort to kill you..."
A strange, hoarse voice slowly rose from behind.
call!
Lin Hui burst into flames, his entire body covered in golden flames, and in less than three seconds, he was completely incinerated and disappeared.
Only the Sun-Eating Sword remained floating in place, then with a whoosh, it flew away on its own, piercing through the void and disappearing without a trace.
This was a pity for Zhang Xinfan and Gray Roc, who both wanted to vie for the sword.
"Finally, finally this menace is dead..." Gray Roc's body relaxed, his face pale, and he gasped for breath.
"I thought we might really be doomed this time. How did that guy do it? Just one look, just one look, and..." He had truly and completely died three times in a row, and his accumulated knowledge had obviously decreased a little. He had consumed three real deaths in such a short time. Gray Roc even had some psychological trauma from Lin Hui's Nine Heavens Gate attire.
"It must be some kind of special secret technique. No... it must be. Even Seven Extinctions has never used such a technique publicly. Maybe it's a life-saving trump card that Seven Extinctions bestowed upon him," Zhang Xinfan said in a deep voice. "But, no matter what, at least, at least we killed him... Where's the treasure!?"
He relaxed his mind and carefully searched the void left after Lin Hui was shattered, but it was empty; there was nothing there.
Now, both he and Gray Roc looked grim.
"Sir, this is different from what we said before, isn't it?"
Zhang Xinfan spoke in a deep voice to a certain point in the void.
Swish!
In the direction he was facing, a mysterious figure appeared, dressed entirely in white robes, his face completely obscured.
The strange man held in his hand the very same golden spear that had just ambushed Lin Hui, delivering the fatal blow.
"I didn't steal it," the strange man said calmly.
"There are only the three of us here. You didn't take it. Could it be that you just shattered and disappeared that kind of treasure? Do you think a treasure that can transform into Disaster Energy would be so easily shattered and disappeared?!" Gray Roc also questioned.
"Heh heh." The white-robed stranger laughed. "Since you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do. Besides... "Although he had just confirmed that he had indeed killed Lin Hui, he still felt a lingering unease in his heart.
In order to eliminate Lin Hui in one fell swoop, he had been hiding for a long time. The moment he made his move, he used one of his strongest secret killing techniques—the Spirit-Piercing Bone Kill Killing Technique—which bypassed all of the opponent's defenses and directly killed his soul and body.
Even for him, this killing move was extremely taxing to use. Lin Hui was hit on the spot without any fancy moves, and his soul and body collapsed and dissipated.
Can..
The man in white robes composed himself, confirming that he hadn't taken anything and that the two men hadn't either, realizing that Lin Hui had likely hidden it somewhere beforehand. "Our cooperation ends here. Hopefully, there will be opportunities in the future..." With that, the man in white robes vanished in a flash.
Only Zhang Xinfan and Gray Roc remained, their faces extremely grim.
The two suffered such heavy losses, yet ended up with nothing.
Heart Source Demon Palace.
Lin Hui floated naked in mid-air, reaching out to catch the Sun-Eating Sword that was flying towards him.
"They couldn't even stop you?" He was somewhat surprised.
This time, in order to make the performance more realistic, he even planned to give the Sun-Eating Sword he had left behind to the other party.
Anyway, the karma behind this thing is extremely heavy, and anyone who wants to take it will have to bear the wrath of many enemies of the Ever-Burning Contemplation Temple. Even if he really loses it, he won't feel bad.
But to everyone's surprise, the sword flew back on its own.
"Come back then."
He put his black robe back on and hung the Sun Eater at his waist.
Lin Hui felt the changes happening inside his body.
The converted Wind Energy has been completely consumed, leaving only some remaining seeds, which are slowly recovering on their own.
Even if this converted Wind Energy is completely depleted, it can replenish itself by decomposing everything around it.
The Wind Energy that Lin Hui converts from Wind Disaster is actually the upper limit of the total Wind Energy.
Even if it is not converted again after being consumed, Wind Energy will decompose external objects to replenish itself.
At this moment, what he truly cared about wasn't Wind Energy, but... Fate Reversal!
After practicing the Unfinished Final Scene Sword Technique, the core of the Immortal Fire deep within his soul now had an additional transparent triangle compared to before the ambush. This triangle resembled a small screen, and upon closer inspection, one could see it constantly playing the image of Lin Hui being pierced through the chest from behind by the mysterious man, dying instantly.
"Is this what it means to Fate Reversal?" Lin Hui sensed the special information constantly emanating from the triangle.
That was about the entire trajectory, flaws, loopholes, and key points of evasion and defense in the mysterious assassination attempt.
Having obtained this information, he will naturally be completely immune to this attack the next time he faces it, ignoring this deadly move.
"So, the Fate Reversal uses this retrospective method to become immune to attacks of the same kind." Lin Hui suddenly realized.
The cultivation memories he obtained only included the part about practicing sword techniques; the part that truly demonstrated the power of Fate Reversal fate did not appear.
This was his first time experiencing it.
"Now that I've been assassinated, I can take this opportunity to slip away and disappear into the background, continuing only to maintain contact with the Pioneers Indoma."
Based on the aura, movements, and deductions of the last attacker, he had a 50% probability of guessing it was Ping Yun.
"Next, I'll just wait for the right opportunity to fully push myself to my limits before settling accounts with the Ashes Sea."
Lin Hui floated cross-legged on the second floor of the Demon Palace, reviewing the battle that had just taken place and pondering how to improve and perfect it.
The Blood Seal is currently available, and regarding the obvious acceleration of acquisition, we can use the Existence Force given by Indoma to enhance our auxiliary methods. "The best way to quickly obtain the opponent's lifeline... is to stall for time, observe, and collect information first. However, even with advance preparation, we may encounter unknown individuals not recorded in the data. Therefore, necessary investigation and buffer periods are essential."
Lin Hui's mind raced through various methods, when he suddenly recalled the demonstration his apprentice Lin Yuexiu, had given him earlier.
"Looking at it this way, what could be more reliable than having a powerful force gather information for me in advance, probe my opponents, and provide feedback? Now that I've faked my death, the reappearance of Clear Jade Mountain, which I've been longing for, is finally happening..."
"Very well, since we have some extra Existence Force, let's evolve one that can help the Clear Jade Mountain disciples quickly improve and keep up with the special abilities here."
Lin Hui quickly made up his mind.
Clear Jade Mountain is located in the Mist Man World. The only way to bring it here, so far away, is through the Mind Sea. As long as the senior disciples master the ability to traverse the Mind Sea, they can easily skip this step.
Since he was already here, he had the coordinates. Adding to that the original three incenses of the Demon Palace... among them, the Formless Demon Incense was the ability that allowed Demon Palace disciples to freely enter their Mind Sea.
However, in order to protect his disciples, Lin Hui did not pass on this Devil Incense technique back then.
And now...
He suddenly flashed away.
The person vanished from their spot the next moment, flew out of the demon palace, and plunged into the vast purple mist.
Following his intuition about the Clear Jade Mountain disciples, Lin Hui traveled at top speed and found the nearest disciple's consciousness in just over an hour.
