Chapter 604 - 598: The World Honored’s Bold Declaration—Attaining Enlightenment in Nine Days
This battle saw no small number of deaths.
Actually, Lin Yuan didn’t feel much empathy for the deaths of others.
After all, he’s not familiar with them, so their deaths didn’t bring him much sorrow.
But, the one who died was the Golden-Winged Roc, one of the few close to Lin Yuan.
From Lin Yuan’s perspective, Lutolo and Chishiniu were utterly unforgivable.
Lin Yuan glared at Lutolo and Chishiniu with a fierce gaze, his voice cold and filled with murderous intent, saying, "You killed the Golden-Winged Roc, didn’t you?"
"Since that’s the case, stay here to pay for it with your lives!"
Seeing that there was no escape, Lutolo stubbornly said, "Just a mere ant, what difference does it make killing it."
This Lutolo, facing his demise, still dared to be stubborn?
But Lin Yuan specializes in dealing with stubbornness.
"In our eyes, even a hundred or a thousand of your lives can’t compare to the ant you scorn!" Lin Yuan said as he slowly raised the Human King Sword.
Once the Human King Sword was drawn, it instantly resonated with the heavens and the earth.
At that moment, the Human King Sword seemed to sense the anger erupting within Lin Yuan.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the weather changed, with strong winds howling.
The fierce winds all around transformed into strands of sword light.
These sword lights were aimed precisely at the stubborn Lutolo.
Now let’s see if it’s his stubbornness or Lin Yuan’s sword that’s stronger.
The fierce winds swept over Lutolo, with strands of sword light slicing across his body.
"Slash!"
"Slash! Slash!"
As the sword lights sliced through, Lutolo’s body instantly became covered in blood and wounds.
"Ah!"
"Ah! Ah!"
Lutolo let out a roar, raising his weapon to try and fend off the sword energy,
However, just as he raised his weapon, a sharp sword energy sliced down on his wrist, severing it and causing his weapon to fall to the ground.
"Third brother!" Chishiniu shouted, wanting to charge forward and rescue Lutolo.
However, Chishiniu’s strength was not as great as Lutolo’s, and this kind of sword energy was something Lutolo couldn’t even resist, let alone Chishiniu.
As time passed, the sword lights grew in number, and Lutolo’s injuries deepened.
The flesh on his body was sliced away by the sword lights, and over time, only bare bones were left.
After the flesh was cut away, the fierce sword lights began slicing into his soul.
"Run!"
"Run quickly!" Lutolo shouted towards the outskirts, trying to save Chishiniu.
Chishiniu seemed to awaken at this moment, knowing that with his strength, saving Lutolo was impossible.
If he continued to hesitate, after Lin Yuan finished with Lutolo, he’d be the next to die.
Thinking of this, Chishiniu didn’t hesitate anymore and turned to flee.
Trying to flee?
Elder Bai roared, "You killed the Golden-Winged Roc, how can we let you escape? Today, you must pay for the Golden-Winged Roc’s life."
In the next moment, Elder Bai, along with the other Tier Two Peak experts, surrounded Chishiniu.
The strength of Elder Bai and those Tier Two Peak experts may not be greater than Lin Yuan’s, but there were many of them!
With so many experts attacking, even if Chishiniu had three heads and six arms, he couldn’t hold his ground.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan swung his sword down, and Lutolo’s soul was struck, completely vanishing into dust.
With Lutolo dealt with, the next target naturally was Chishiniu.
"Step aside, I’ll kill him." Lin Yuan shouted, raising his sword and charging ahead.
Seeing Lin Yuan approaching, Elder Bai and the others quickly backed off.
Using the same technique, Lin Yuan enveloped Chishiniu with countless sword lights.
These countless sword lights were like a meat grinder, intending to grind Chishiniu into mince.
"Ah!"
"Ah! Ah!"
Soon, within the sword light, came Chishiniu’s painful screams.
Just moments ago, when Lutolo had fallen into Lin Yuan’s sword light, Chishiniu felt only terror.
When he himself was caught in the sword light, he understood what kind of pain this was.
"Spare me!"
"Spare me, please! Spare me!"
Chishiniu clearly didn’t have as hard a backbone as Lutolo, unable to hold on under such intense pain and begging Lin Yuan for mercy.
Yet, facing Chishiniu’s pleas, Lin Yuan remained indifferent.
"Don’t spare him!"
"Kill him!"
"Avenge the Golden-Winged Roc!" roared the Black Bear Spirit.
Chishiniu seemed to know that relying solely on words to make Lin Yuan spare him was impossible.
In such a situation, to survive, he had to demonstrate his worth.
Thinking of this, Chishiniu shouted, "Don’t kill me!"
"Don’t you want to know why the World Honored invited us here?"
"Why does he want to kill you? Why?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Bai instinctively looked at Lin Yuan.
These Outer World People were undoubtedly invited by the World Honored, which was beyond question.
However, Lin Yuan truly didn’t know the purpose behind the World Honored’s invitation.
Lin Yuan didn’t know, and naturally Elder Bai didn’t know either.
The look Elder Bai gave Lin Yuan was naturally in hopes of extracting useful information from Chishiniu first.
Lin Yuan understood, nodding.
These strands of sword energy stopped slicing into Chishiniu’s body and hovered around him.
"Speak!"
"Tell us everything you know," Lin Yuan asked Chishiniu.
However, Chishiniu definitely wouldn’t reveal it so easily; he intended to trade this information for a chance to live.
"Swear it!"
"Swear not to kill me, and I’ll tell you!" Chishiniu evidently didn’t trust Lin Yuan.
Remarkably, Lin Yuan was quite forthright and agreed directly: "I swear, as long as you truthfully tell me the purpose of the World Honored inviting you here, I will not kill you."
Lin Yuan’s quick agreement took Chishiniu by surprise.
However, since Lin Yuan agreed, Chishiniu felt reassured.
"The World Honored is about to attain enlightenment, he’s only one step away."
"He needs the death of a large number of Tier Two Peak experts from this world to supplement his Western Heaven Buddha Country," Chishiniu said.
Western Heaven Buddha Country?
It seems the World Honored has materialized his small world.
His small world has become a truly independent world.
At this moment, the Void resonated with the voice of the World Honored.
"Chishiniu, you have truly shamed the Demon Lord!"
"Do you truly believe that by betraying me, young Lin Yuan will spare you?"
At this point, the World Honored’s voice in the Void switched tone: "Lin Yuan, White Turtle, and all of you."
"Nine days, nine days from now, will be the day of my enlightenment. Then, I will transcend all of you, bringing you to my Western Heaven Buddha Country to become saints and ancestors."
After those words, the World Honored’s voice fell silent.
The World Honored did not appear, merely released the bold declaration of enlightenment nine days hence.
