In the Land of Mist.
Lin An was still on his way. This Land of Mist was extremely vast. He had been teleported countless times before, and he didn't know how far he was from the Sin Abyss.
"I have an ancient bronze lamp as a guide, but more than half a month has passed and I still haven't gotten out. No wonder those Sin Beast are trapped here."
Without the ancient bronze lamp, Lin An estimated that he would have been trapped here indefinitely, possibly until his lifespan ended and he still wouldn't be able to escape.
They continued speeding along, and another half month passed before Lin An finally saw a glimmer of light.
After passing through another layer of gray fog, the view suddenly opened up.
"They're finally out."
Lin An breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he hadn't been teleported too deep into the Land of Mist; otherwise, he might not have been able to get out for a month.
"It's already July, and there are still two months left until the connection between the two worlds. We certainly won't miss it."
"Let's go back to Heavenly Vault Pass first."
Lin An had originally planned to visit the Sin Beast Mother Nest, but it would take him at least another half month to get back. If he went to the Sin Beast Mother Nest again, he might miss the Sin Beast Invasion after the connection between the two worlds.
Anyway, he can't escape the Sin Beast Mother Nest; he can go there later. After all, he has already broken through to the King Realm Ninth Grade.
"And those hundreds of millions of Sin Beast are waiting for me outside Heavenly Vault Pass. I'll go back and deal with them. I wonder what's in the Cataclysmic-level event shop."
The road back was very smooth; even if it hadn't been, with Lin An's current strength at the King Realm Ninth Grade, he could have easily swept through it.
It took him a month to get there, but he only took half a month to get to the vicinity of Heavenly Vault Pass.
Although he had only been away for a few months, seeing Heavenly Vault Pass again gave Lin An a sense of familiarity.
He then scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that the hundreds of millions of Sin Beast were indeed still quietly gathered a hundred miles outside the city.
"Now that I'm back, we can begin the attack."
Immediately, Lin An's heart stirred, and he saw all the Mythic Realm Sin Beast under his control fly out at once.
Roar roar roar...
With a series of roars, hundreds of millions of Sin Beast first stirred, and then surged towards the direction of Heavenly Vault Pass like a black tide.
The distance of a hundred miles is not far. The moment the Sin Beast moved, the powerful guards at Heavenly Vault Pass noticed it.
"Oh no, those Sin Beast have started attacking!"
Everyone was shocked. Hundreds of millions of Sin Beast was no small number. Even if the entire army were mobilized, it was unknown how long it would take to kill them all.
Immediately, a group of powerful figures at the Mythic Realm appeared, led by Wei Min and Zheng Tang, among others.
Just as these powerful figures were preparing everyone for battle, the void suddenly distorted, and Lin An emerged from it.
Everyone was taken aback at first, then overjoyed.
We pay our respects to the young master.
Wei Min and the others had originally planned to summon the King or the young lady, but since Lin An had appeared, there was no need for that.
"Hmm, don't panic, I have a use for these Sin Beast," Lin An said.
"Yes."
Everyone smiled, and their worries subsided.
Rumble...
Soon, the black tide formed by the Sin Beast also arrived outside the Heavenly Vault Pass, so dense that its boundaries could not be seen.
The sheer power emanating from the gathering of these Sin Beast is unmatched even by ordinary King Realm experts.
As these Sin Beast approached the Heavenly Vault Pass, a series of notification sounds rang in Lin An's ears.
[ Heavenly Vault Pass has been attacked by Sin Beast. Players are invited to participate in the battle, resist the Sin Beast, and protect Guangwu City.]
[ The Sin Beast Siege Event has begun; this is a calamity-level siege event.]
[During the event, players can earn points by hunting Sin Beast. These points can be used to redeem treasures in the event shop after the event ends.]
As the notification sound rang, Lin An smiled and took out the Condemnation.
cut!
This strike was unremarkable, yet it carried a terrifying force, sweeping towards the horde of beasts.
hiss hiss hiss...
The blade flashed, instantly killing all the Sin Beast in its path, leaving them no chance to resist.
The Formless Illusory Tower!
Nine Tribulations Thunder Prison!
The World-Burning Lotus!
Lin An unleashed his Divine Ability without reservation, and lightning and fire intertwined. The tidal wave of Sin Beast was as if it had been cut off, and they fell down in large numbers.
Seeing this, Wei Min, Zheng Tang, and the others were secretly shocked.
"With your strength, young master, you are probably already comparable to the king," Wei Min said.
"It's too small-minded, too narrow-minded. Although it may be disrespectful to say this, I'm afraid even His Majesty is not as good as it is," Zheng Tang said, shaking his head.
"I wonder what level of strength you have reached now, young master. Perhaps you have already reached the King Realm Ninth Grade."
"Young master's talent is extraordinary; it's certainly possible."
"This is too monstrous! Young Master has only been in the King Realm for less than a year, and he's already reached the ninth rank. You must know that the King has been in the King Realm for decades, and he's only at the eighth rank now."
"..."
Everyone who looked at Lin An, who stood alone in front of them and killed countless Sin Beast with a wave of his hand, felt not only excitement but also awe.
In other words, Lin An did not have the means to collect faith, otherwise he would have heard a series of notification sounds such as 'Faith +1, Faith +2, Faith +10086'.
Zheng Tang was the most moved.
He first learned about Lin An because the military achievements Lin An had made were too exaggerated, so he followed him for half a month. At that time, Lin An was only at the Platinum Realm.
But only a little over a year has passed, and the young man in the Platinum Realm whom he could secretly follow without being discovered has now reached the King Realm, a height that he can only look up to.
"In the blink of an eye, that Platinum Realm youth has become King Realm being."
Zheng Tang smiled and said, "The only similarity is that the other person is still a teenager."
Time passed slowly, and Lin An stood still, casually annihilating the hordes of Sin Beast that swept in, his activity points increasing rapidly.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
With the last of the Sin Beast slain, the siege was considered over.
[The Cataclysmic Sin Beast Siege Event has ended; the event shop is now open.]
[The event shop will be open for 24 hours. Players are encouraged to use their event points as soon as possible.]
Following the prompt, Lin An withdrew all his Divine Ability and was about to open the event shop to see what good items were available in the Cataclysmic level shop.
Suddenly, the earth shook.
Boom boom boom...
Then, a dense array of celestial and terrestrial rules emerged and surged into a grand hall within the pass.
At the same time, a throne slowly appeared in the sky.
Seeing this, Lin An's eyes lit up, "My uncle has broken through to the King Realm!"
The thought had barely formed when a figure appeared and walked towards the throne.
That figure was none other than Li Zhao.
