Chapter 675 - 669: Luring the Enemy Into the Trap
As the Law Crystal entered his body, it transformed into a pure energy, merging into the Origin Space.
[Law Crystal absorbed successfully, Origin Space strengthened.]
The notification sounded, and Lin You calmed his mind to feel it; a Tier Twelve Law Crystal did not improve him much, only equivalent to defeating an ordinary Tier Twelve Demon.
However, he didn’t feel disappointed, as this was at least a path for advancement.
Accumulated over time, it would still speed up considerably.
Thinking of this, he sped back to the inn.
Once inside the room, he immediately went to the bedside to continue absorbing Law Crystals.
It wasn’t until he absorbed nearly 30,000 Law Crystals that a notification finally sounded in his mind.
[Congratulations, Level up, current level: Level 3 Quasi-God.]
[Attributes have changed, please check yourself.]
Finally leveled up.
Lin You let out a breath, feeling a vast energy rushing through his body, nourishing every part.
Opening the personal interface to take a look, his attributes had changed as well.
[Name: Lin You (Lord)]
[Race: Human]
[Level: Tier Twelve (Level 3 Quasi-God)]
[Power: 6,500,000]
[Constitution: 6,500,000]
[Agility: 6,110,000]
[Spirit: 6,110,000]
[Basic Skills: Multiple Mutations, Time Law, Soul Bond (Cyan Gang), Twin Origin (level insufficient, not unlocked)]
[Power of Origin: Unlock potential of all species by 30%]
[Introduction: Lord Attribute Interface, records specific strength and skills of the lord, unlocked upon becoming a lord.]
Not bad.
He’s one step closer to Level 10 Quasi-God.
In the Barbaric Roar state, he even has no qualms, and retreating safely is not an issue.
With such strength, he would be more confident in tomorrow’s actions.
Pumping his fists in secret, he got up and left the inn, riding the Hidden Dragon out of the city.
He randomly found a deserted place to condense the Territory Core, starting to use the remaining 20,000 Law Crystals to mutate Extraordinary Species.
He only finished spending the crystals by the wee hours.
The number of Extraordinary Species increased from two thousand to ten thousand, greatly enhancing strength.
The remaining few hundred Law Crystals were kept for emergencies.
After completing these tasks, he stored the Territory Core again and flew back towards Pantheon, disappearing into the dark night soon after.
...
Night went by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.
As the first rays of sunlight illuminated the earth, the entire Pantheon began to bustle.
The city residents and representatives of various powers set off early, heading to the building symbolizing the center of the Pantheon.
"Is everyone ready?"
Inside the inn, Shen Sikong asked the group of young men and women before him.
"We’re ready!"
A loud response echoed from below.
Their trip was not only to investigate the Pantheon but also to claim the top spot in the young generation’s exchanges and suppress Pantheon’s momentum.
Seeing their vigorous appearance, Shen Sikong nodded with satisfaction.
"Very well, let’s depart!"
With a command, the team already prepared outside the inn immediately set into motion.
Lin You rode the flying mount beside Shen Sikong, continuously observing the representatives coming from various directions.
Only then did Shen Sikong turn to look at him.
"Later, I’ll lead them to the festival to attend the conference, while keeping an eye on the movements of two elders."
"At that time, I’ll send a team with strong Stealth Ability to infiltrate the back of the Pantheon. Younger Brother Lin, you act according to the situation; if you find any useful information, sharing it with us would be great."
In name, Lin You could only be considered an ally standing on the same line with them; he wasn’t confident enough to give orders to him.
"Alright."
Lin You responded calmly, without saying much.
Shen Sikong naturally wouldn’t know that he already understood the Pantheon’s purpose in capturing Lower Realm Lords.
His collaboration with the Godslaying Alliance was merely to cover up.
His ultimate goal is to rescue the Ten Thousand Realms Emperor and then escape the region controlled by Pantheon.
What concerned him most now was the safety of Saint Radiance Emperor and the others.
Pantheon’s secrecy over the capture of Lower Realm Lords was too tight, with no way to find specifics from outside.
Thus continues.
Under Shen Sikong’s leadership, the Godslaying Alliance’s massive team swept over the city, soon reaching the center and the magnificent building where Pantheon resides.
From afar, numerous teams raising banners could already be seen, gathering on a huge square.
The younger generation from various powers gathered, excitedly discussing, appearing in a lively and fervent scene.
At the center high platform, two intimidating figures stood there, overlooking the teams below.
With just one glance.
Lin You felt a chilling aura emanating from those two individuals.
Without needing Shen Sikong to say anything, he could instantly guess their identities.
They were the Grand Elder and Elder Seven of the Pantheon, characters of Tier Thirteen True God Level.
However, Lin You wasn’t too surprised, given that he had already experienced the prowess of Tier Thirteen in the Ten Thousand Realms and had even personally slain Mo Tian.
Though that power wasn’t his, he had still slain gods, so his mindset was naturally different from others.
"Very well, both elders are here, find an opportunity to infiltrate."
Shen Sikong whispered and then led the team, distancing themselves from Lin You and the Godslaying Alliance’s infiltration squad, slowly landing on the plaza.
"Shen Sikong, representative of the Godslaying Alliance, extends congratulations!"
The resounding voice echoed across the entire plaza, capturing the attention of all the forces present, all of whom showed expressions of surprise.
"The Godslaying Alliance? They sent a representative too?"
"The Hall Master of the Pantheon and the Alliance Leader of the Godslaying Alliance are sworn enemies. Coming so openly, they must have ulterior motives."
"That’s for sure, I’ve heard they’ve brought the strongest few young elites this time."
"Really? Then there’s going to be a good show to watch."
Representatives of various forces discussed eagerly, all showing expressions eager for excitement.
However, they didn’t notice a few shadows had already circled around to the rear, silently distancing themselves from the festival plaza, delving deeper into the Pantheon.
Just as Shen Sikong said.
Due to the urgent battle at the front lines, the Pantheon’s defense was very weak. Over half of the Tier Twelve stewards had already gone to assist, and along the way, there were only a few squads at around Tier Eleven patrolling back and forth.
With Lin You’s strength, he easily avoided them, as if traversing an unpopulated realm.
Even the few top Tier Eleven experts sent by the Godslaying Alliance had extremely proficient stealth techniques, swiftly bypassing the patrol squads to go deeper in.
"We’re here."
The guide suddenly made a hand gesture, signaling them to stop.
By this time, they were already out of the perception range of the two Pantheon elders, arriving outside an entrance leading underground behind a cluster of buildings.
This was the specific location where the Godslaying Alliance had discovered the Lower Realm Lord was being held during this period.
After all, with the two major forces being sworn enemies, it’s not surprising for them to plant a few internal agents; it only takes some effort to get the desired information.
Moreover, the defense of this underground entrance was so tight, with a patrol squad every ten meters, clearly indicating something extraordinary within.
Yet what puzzled Lin You was.
When he extended his perception into that entrance, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, completely swallowed, unable to detect what was inside.
Could it be perception shielding?
Lin You furrowed his brows, sensing something unusual.
The infiltration operation had gone too smoothly, so smoothly it felt almost unreal.
Moreover, aside from themselves, they hadn’t encountered any other forces’ infiltration squads, there must be something peculiar here.
"Master, that entrance seems to be an illusion realm."
As he contemplated, a voice suddenly came from the Void Nether within the Origin Universe.
"You can perceive it?" Lin You was surprised, communicating through their spiritual connection.
"Yes, my spiritual attribute is rather high, I can vaguely see that this is a very high-level illusion trap, likely set by those two Tier Thirteen individuals."
The mutated skill inherited by the Void Nether was the Spiritual Protection of the Four-leaf Clover, enhancing the spiritual attribute by 40%, making it the highest among the Royal Family.
Since even she said so, there was definitely an issue here.
"Can you sense where the real entrance is?" Lin You asked.
"It seems to be in that courtyard over there, I can sense a rather unusual energy there."
After a pause, the Void Nether pointed in a direction through their spiritual link.
Following this direction, Lin You extended his perception and indeed discovered an inconspicuous small courtyard among the building complex, guarded by two Tier Twelve Lords at the entrance.
Something is wrong here.
This place definitely has something off.
Having two Tier Twelve guards, along with establishing a perception-shielding array, anyone with slight intelligence would know something’s unusual.
Lin You’s eyes gradually narrowed as he stealthily backed away, heading towards that small courtyard.
As for the Godslaying Alliance’s infiltration squad, he would let them serve as bait, after all, they were merely being mutually used.
Sure enough.
He had barely left when the underground entrance suddenly lit up with a beam of light, accompanied by chaotic battle noises and several cries of agony.
All surrounding patrol squads converged towards that direction.
Yet the two Tier Twelve Lords guarding the courtyard remained still, as if unaware, making the courtyard seem all the more peculiar.
Lin You hid in the corner, cautiously gathering information on the two, one a Level 5 Quasi-God, the other a Level 6 Quasi-God.
These figures were already equivalent to high-level steward status in the major forces, making it nearly impossible to infiltrate undetected, unless a Tier Thirteen person was sent.
But that’s evidently unrealistic.
The moment Tier Thirteen appears, they would likely be intercepted by those two elders, unable to get near.
This might be the reason the Pantheon was so fearless.
But Lin You was the exception.
Because last night, during the mutation of the extraordinary species, he happened to replace the Soul Bond with Shadowless, gaining the attributes and all skills of Shadowless.
With the Level 3 Quasi-God boost, Shadowless’ attributes were comparable to a Level 6 Quasi-God’s extraordinary species, these two Tier Twelve couldn’t stop him.
With a slight smile, Lin You’s body gradually faded, directly activating Shadowless’ Void Skills, entering stealth mode.
Then silently bypassed the two at the gate, entering the courtyard.
However, in the next moment, he was stunned by the scene before him.
The courtyard didn’t contain the Ten Thousand Realms Emperor, but rather another unexpected figure.
