Chapter 552: Chapter 546: Spirit Master, an Unexpected World
"Hmm?"
The dark-eyed youth, about to step into the Gate of the Living Realm, suddenly paused, shocked as he looked at Lin You charging towards him.
Indeed.
He was shocked.
He knew very well what the power he had just used meant to this world; it was absolutely impossible for anyone to break free.
Yet Lin You broke free!
And so quickly!
This made him shocked, while a strange light flickered in his eyes, as if weighing something.
But Lin You didn’t give him time to react.
The momentary pause had also caused Lin You’s state to halt.
Seizing the last three seconds of the attack-defend shift effect, in a flash, he rushed in front of him, and with a blade infused with fierce power, shattered the space, slashing down upon him.
"Boom!!"
A loud bang erupted between them, terrifying force turned into waves of air, sweeping around, shaking the platform violently.
The dark-eyed youth spat out blood, his entire being flew backward.
However, he did not stabilize himself, but while flying backward, he took a deep look at Lin You, released the complete Divine Format in his hand, and whether intentionally or not, it just landed on the edge of the Gate of the Living Realm.
He then used the momentum to vanish within the Gate of the Living Realm, the pause state on the platform disappearing with him.
Lin You couldn’t bother with much.
Seeing the attack-defend shift about to dissipate, the overwhelming pressure swept in.
He immediately rushed forward to pick up the Divine Format and dived into the Gate of the Living Realm, leaving the freed kings to look at each other, shocked again.
Even though they couldn’t move just now, their minds remained conscious.
What kind of power was it that rendered so many near Tier Eleven powers unable to move, even halting the flow of space and time?
This kind of eerie power, could even a Great Emperor possess it?
Or was it the power of that heart?
Unfortunately.
No chance to ponder further, the terrifying pressure around them pulled them back once more.
Seeing the explosive state about to end, they dared not linger, exerting their last bit of strength, they raced towards the end of the platform to the Illusory Realm, disappearing in an instant.
Meanwhile.
On platforms of various levels, a small fraction of Lords used various means to climb the Celestial Ladder, rushing into the Life Realm.
The intense scene instantly drew a commotion from the crowd below, as they finally saw hope of entering the Life Realm, each one began striving to climb.
...
...
"Reincarnator Feng Yan, you are warned for unauthorized use of manager privileges, violating the third clause of the reincarnation treaty."
A cold prompt sounded in the mind of the dark-eyed youth within the Illusory Realm.
"Nagging."
Feng Yan’s face turned cold, his indifferent voice sounded.
"If I don’t quickly enhance my Power Level, how am I supposed to complete the mission?"
After speaking, he extended his arm, the illusory space before him gradually solidified into a vast barren land.
He raised his head, and saw a blood moon hanging high in the sky, dyeing everything below red, with a faint gray breath lingering in the air.
This.
Was one of the three hidden realms, the Life Realm.
When seeing the surrounding environment, Feng Yan couldn’t help but frown, eyes filled with confusion and strong astonishment.
Because this Life Realm.
Was somewhat different than he imagined.
No.
You could say, completely opposite.
The Realm of Life, known in legends as the Garden of Eden, where countless realms of ordinary people lived, was now devoid of vitality, even reeked of death.
It resembled a barren forbidden domain!
...
On the other side.
On a pitch-black land full of decaying corpses.
Passing through the Gate of the Living Realm, Lin You also arrived within the Life Realm.
And in his hand, he still held the complete Divine Format he had just snatched from Feng Yan.
[Name: Divine Format (Designated)]
[Grade: Divine Level]
[Use Level: Tier Eleven]
[Introduction: After use, a complete Divine Format from any Race can be designated and acquired.]
"Designated acquisition!?"
Looking at the interface before him, Lin You was thrilled.
Unexpectedly, it was a Divine Format that could designate a race!
This was far better than the Plant Divine Format that was consumed by the Origin Universe before, no need to risk swapping with other Tier Eleven Lords for a different race.
When he ascends to Tier Eleven and condenses a Plant Divine Format, he can immediately acquire a Divine Format from outside the plant race for fusion.
It truly paid off for all the preparations he made during this period.
But yet.
If not for his Origin Universe suddenly exerting force earlier, he probably wouldn’t have been able to seize this Divine Format either.
He couldn’t help but wonder.
What was the power that emerged from his body just now that could break through that guy’s dual time-space stasis?
He immediately sank his spirit to study, realizing the Origin Universe seemed somewhat different than before.
The Life Aura was more intense, and there was also a vague unfamiliar power, causing an involuntary surprise.
Yet just as he was about to delve deeper into research.
He was interrupted by a series of prompts.
[Area change detected, switching in progress...]
[Switch successful, current area: Life Realm]
[Due to the change in rules, some lord functions are unavailable. Please be extra cautious.]
With a series of prompts ringing in his mind, Lin You paused and quickly retreated from the Origin Universe.
He scanned the surroundings, looking at the devastated and lifeless gray world before him, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
Is this the legendary Realm of Life?
Why does it look so different from what I imagined?
I would believe it if they said this was the Netherworld in disguise.
Or did something go wrong during the teleportation?
Lin You was a bit skeptical of his own eyes; before entering, he could clearly sense a very intense life aura.
But after entering, he found the complete opposite.
Even the system prompted him that this was indeed the Realm of Life, making it hard for him not to believe.
"Did something unforeseen occur?"
Lin You muttered to himself, putting aside the matters of the Origin Universe, and began trying to open various functions.
As expected, just like the prompts said, due to rule changes, many lord functions were unavailable.
For example, space travel and sky flying on the Celestial Ladder were unavailable, as well as the duchy interface, chat functions, and various territory functions.
But strangely, unit summoning was still usable.
Just the number of summons changed to his level number, and he could only summon ten units. Even his personal interface had subtle changes.
[Name: Lin You (Lord)]
[Race: Human]
[Profession: Spirit Master]
[Level: Saint Tier (7/10)]
[Power: 57004 (+39903)]
[Constitution: 71012 (+61070)]
[Agility: 57004 (+39903)]
[Spirit: 71012 (+49708)]
[Basic Skills: Double Mutation, Power of Rule, Space Travel, Rule Transformation, Spirit Control Technique (can employ demons not exceeding one’s level as spirit pets to assist in battle, number not exceeding one’s level.)]
[Divine Power: All attributes +70%]
[Racial Talent: Constitution +16%, Recovery Speed +16%]
[Introduction: Lord Attribute Interface records specific lord strengths and various skills, unlocked at Tier Ten Lord.]
There was now an additional "Profession" information on the personal interface.
And a new skill "Spirit Control Technique" was added to the basic skills.
Clearly.
The reason he can only summon ten units is because of this skill.
As for what "Spirit Master" means, he still can’t quite understand.
Is it the power system of the Realm of Life?
He had heard long ago that the power system in the Realm of Life might be different from the Ten Thousand Realms Continent, and now it seems those lords were right.
However, this is also good news for him.
He was initially worried that all his powers would be unusable upon arrival and that he might face dangers.
Now he could summon ten units and use the Power of Rule, far exceeding his expectations, ensuring his survival in this unfamiliar realm.
With these thoughts, he directly summoned Lingxi and Shadowless.
Lingxi and Shadowless, being the most agile among his ten royal family units, were the best choice for reconnaissance and protection during the journey.
Plus, one is in the sky and the other on the ground.
Forming a perfect complement.
As for Cyan Gang and Cyan Rattan, the royal family with massive bodies, it’s better not to summon them until the surrounding environment is fully explored, to avoid exposing oneself.
"Master, the death qi here is very dense."
Lingxi spun a circle in the air holding the Purple Orchid Staff, her eyes solemnly observing the surroundings.
"And there’s also a heavy scent of blood." Shadowless added beside her.
Though his personality is cold, being an assassin-type unit, he is extremely sensitive to the scent of blood and instantly sensed the faint bloodiness in the air.
"Yeah, I smelled it too. It seems there was a battle here not long ago."
Lin You glanced at the distant decaying corpses on the ground, already gnawed away to skeletal remains and rotten flesh, along with the nearby fresh blood that hadn’t dried.
It doesn’t seem to have been too long.
Behind them, a vibrant barrier constructed from seven-colored light connected both ends of Taichu Realm and the Realm of Life, and returning was likely as simple as passing through here.
There’s something peculiar.
The old kings who ascended the Celestial Ladder with him have not appeared; perhaps they’ve been transported elsewhere.
"Let’s go, let’s scout the front for a bit to see what’s going on."
With that said, Lin You proceeds to walk out, simultaneously remaining alert of his surroundings.
Lingxi and Shadowless guarded him on either side to avert any unexpected occurrences.
They seemed to be deep within a vast plain.
Not knowing whether it was originally a plain or eroded into a plain by external forces, with a flat road extending from the center.
Following the road and looking towards the end, a vaguely visible huge shadow loomed before their eyes, becoming their primary exploration target.
Continuing down the road while scouting, after more than half an hour, they finally approached the vicinity of that shadow.
However.
Upon discerning the shadow’s form, Lin You was stunned, his eyes widening suddenly.
Residential buildings.
What appeared in front of him was rows of long-decayed residential buildings!
And on the streets between the buildings, a plethora of various zombies were ominously wandering about.
Though that’s not the main point.
The most terrifying sight for Lin You was the dilapidated sign hanging on one of the buildings.
"Yan City Suburban Hotel"
Yan City.....
Isn’t this the city where he lived before coming to this world!?
He even stayed in this suburban hotel once before!
