Chapter 1293: You Want to Fight Me?
In the Spirit Soul Sacred Ground.
"Who is maneuvering the Tribulation Thunder Thought to fly? Has he gone mad?"
Li Ran, the Second Elder, Duanmu Qing, and three other Berserkers all stepped out, surprised and looking southward.
There, thunder was flashing.
In the Yin Soul Realm, no one had dared to fly like this for a long time.
Flying like this, the probability of encountering Ghost Specters was extremely high.
Anyone who dared to fly like this was dead!
"That person, is he the Fourth Tribulation Thunder?"
Duanmu Qing said uncertainly.
The Fourth Tribulation Thunder, one thought creates a world; he would definitely not be mistaken.
But throughout the Forbidden Sand Sea, there were no Fourth Tribulation Thunder; this was the consensus of everyone.
So much so that he imagined he was mistaken.
"Yes, that outsider is indeed the Fourth Tribulation Thunder!"
The Second Elder said gravely.
The Fourth Tribulation Thunder was not good news for them.
If the visitor was hostile, they might not be able to defeat him.
Even if Duanmu Qing possessed a treasure composed of 300,000 Third Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, he might not win.
If everyone joined forces, there might be a sliver of hope...
"Great Elder, do you think we should..."
The Second Elder wanted to discuss a strategy with Li Ran but found that Li Ran was staring blankly, looking in the direction of the approaching outsider.
"Great Elder..."
"He’s not dead... didn’t encounter Ghost Specters..."
Li Ran interrupted the Second Elder with a murmured sentence.
The Second Elder was startled, looking up sharply at the outsider riding the Thunderbolt from afar.
Duanmu Qing and the other three Berserkers also anxiously watched ahead.
One breath!
Three breaths!
Five breaths!
The outsider was still gliding effortlessly through the air, getting closer and closer, never encountering Ghost Specters!
Was it a coincidence?
Was it just good luck?
It seemed not!
Because, while flying, the outsider was constantly adjusting his flight path, as if avoiding something.
"Could he perceive Ghost Specters?"
One Berserker instinctively uttered this, then immediately laughed, "How could this be possible? Even a ruler couldn’t accomplish this task, and he’s merely a Fourth Tribulation Thunder..."
His words trailed off when he noticed nobody was agreeing with him; everyone was staring blankly ahead.
"He can indeed perceive Ghost Specters!"
Li Ran said tremblingly, her old face filled with wrinkles awash with excitement.
Being able to perceive Ghost Specters represented hope, a chance for survival to everyone in the Yin Soul Realm.
Not only Li Ran, everyone who understood this started to become excited.
More than ten breaths later, the Thunderbolt descended.
Bam!
The bewildered Luntai was tossed directly to the ground.
But Li Ran and the others were too consumed to care about Luntai’s fate.
Li Ran urgently asked, "Esteemed Senior, can you perceive Ghost Specters?"
Esteemed Senior!
Though he was clearly older than those present, he still must address him as senior because Lin Mu was a Fourth Tribulation Thunder.
"Yes!"
Lin Mu did not deny it.
Boom!
The atmosphere exploded instantly; countless people began cheering, as though they had found a savior.
"Senior..."
Li Ran spoke again but was interrupted directly by Lin Mu.
Lin Mu said indifferently, "Let’s make a deal; tell me the news from the Yin Soul Realm, and I can help you achieve liberation..."
"Liberation? What do you mean by liberation, Senior?"
The excitement on Li Ran’s face gradually faded, becoming apprehensive.
Duanmu Qing tightly gripped the hilt of his long knife, with 300,000 Tribulation Thunder Thoughts ready to burst forth.
Surrounding Yin Soul Realm folks who had been exuberant moments ago turned quiet, releasing cold intentions.
These people capable of surviving this long in the Yin Soul Realm were not to be trifled with.
Even faced with the Fourth Tribulation Thunder, they dared to fight courageously.
A flash of compassion passed in Lin Mu’s eyes, "You have lived in the Yin Soul Realm too long; your souls have been eroded. Even if reborn, you can only become a part of the Ghost Realm, never being human again. I can help liberate you so your next life can be human!"
His words created a moment of silence.
Li Ran and the Second Elder exchanged a desolate look, already believing Lin Mu’s words deep down.
They knew that being eroded by Ghastly Qi for hundreds of thousands of years couldn’t yield a good outcome.
Unexpectedly, they didn’t anticipate even death would be affected.
"Hah..."
Just then, Duanmu Qing laughed; he laughed loudly, "I’ve never understood life in this lifetime; what concern is it to me if I can be human in the next one! Senior, your so-called liberation is quite comical!"
Having cultivated to the Tribulation level, they knew more or less about the cycle of reincarnation.
Besides, people in the Heavenly Realm have appeared who underwent rebirth and awakened memories from past lives.
But those cases were rare; most people lose their memories upon death, becoming entirely different individuals.
Therefore, Duanmu Qing cared little for future lives.
"And anyway, what if one is reborn into the Ghost Realm? Even becoming a Ghost Charm is no different from being human; it’s just a difference in race!"
Duanmu Qing, sneering, watched Lin Mu without concern for the Fourth Tribulation Thunder.
Lin Mu smiled lightly, "Everyone has their choice; if you refuse, I care little, just a matter of spending more time..."
"Spending more time? What do you mean?"
Li Ran asked, puzzled.
At this moment, the dazed Luntai finally regained clarity and hurriedly telepathically conveyed to Li Ran, Duanmu Qing, and others about Lin Mu’s ability to gather Ghostly regions.
Li Ran and the others found themselves dumbfounded upon hearing this.
"You... You mean the time to gather Ghost Specters?"
Li Ran asked with suspicion.
Lin Mu nodded, "I’m merely asking whether there are level five Ghost Specters here; you may choose not to deal..."
Li Ran’s eyes flickered uncertainly.
If Lin Mu’s words were true and he indeed possessed the capacity to gather Ghost Specters, then even if they couldn’t reach the Stone Gate Realm, life in the Yin Soul Realm wouldn’t be bad.
Without the threat of Ghost Specters, they could start anew.
"Great Elder, let’s take him down!"
Just then, Duanmu Qing’s voice reached Li Ran’s ear.
"Don’t be reckless; if he truly can gather Ghost Specters, we..."
"Great Elder, look at his waist!"
Duanmu Qing impatiently interrupted Li Ran.
Li Ran looked at Lin Mu’s waist with doubt.
The next moment, his pupils shrunk sharply.
Ten Kings Command!
A total of ten Ten Kings Tokens casually hung from the outsider’s waist!
With the Ten Kings Command, they could gain freedom and live in the Stone Gate Realm!
For a fleeting moment, the yearning for freedom surpassed every other thought.
Even if the Ghost Specters vanished, Ghastly Qi still remained, tormenting them daily.
But if they seized the outsider and obtained the Ten Kings Command, they would be truly free!
In this instant, Li Ran was stirred.
"Everyone..."
Li Ran communicated to all Berserkers telepathically.
Then Lin Mu suddenly spoke, "You intend to start a battle with me?"
"Kill!"
With the conspiracy exposed, Li Ran no longer concealed her intentions, yelling shrilly.
Instantly, all humans in the Yin Soul Realm launched attacks against Lin Mu.
In their hands were treasures of Tribulation Thoughts!
Numbering from thirty thousand to seventy thousand.
The four Berserkers each possessed over a hundred thousand.
In an instant, millions, maybe even tens of millions of Tribulation Thunder Thoughts engulfed the sky.
"Stop!"
Luntai let out a desperate roar.
