Chapter 1798: Chapter 1634: Get Out of My Way
"Careful!"
Inside the secret chamber, that blossoming Sword Flower exploded like Japan’s blazing sun, thousands of golden beams bursting out, flooding the hall with light.
The four Star Domain Commanders hurriedly condensed their True Essence Shields to cover their whole bodies, blocking the erupting, shooting sword light!
Clang clang clang!
The sword light struck the True Essence Shield, sparks spraying, ringing with the clash of metal.
Some Star System Level Warriors weren’t so lucky. The sword light burst out too fast, and they were too close. Some hadn’t even reacted before their brows and chests were pierced through by the sword light, bloody holes opening up one after another, then they fell flat on their backs to the ground.
The dazzling golden sword light also caused a brief ’blindness’ in everyone’s eyes, but even if their eyes were blind, their spiritual power could still sense. In an instant they sensed that Lin Mo had already fled away.
All this sounds slow, but in reality it happened in just a blink.
"Running?" Yin Shang stared at the dark passage ahead, threads of icy coldness climbing into his pupils. "Chase. Chase him down, that mangy stray dog."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Bursts of sonic booms tore the air in succession as the crowd poured into the dark passage ahead like a swarm of locusts.
"Lord Yin Shang, will we run into danger?" Jiang Rushi stared at the dark passage ahead, her Willow Leaf Eyebrow slightly furrowed, asking with some concern.
"A mere Star System Level brat. Even if he got a few decent Treasures, I brought so many people—where can he run?" Yin Shang sneered. "Besides, I actually enjoy this cat-and-mouse feeling. Hahaha, hahaha."
His laughter echoed in the secret chamber, then Yin Shang also turned into a streaking shadow, quickly dashing toward the dark passage ahead.
Lin Mo’s Sword Eyebrow was tightly knitted, his gaze locked dead ahead. His figure flitted like a butterfly weaving through flowers, turning left and right through the dark corridors. If not for these countless, dense, numberless tunnels inside the Hive Star, plus the Map Projection that appeared from the Ancient Key he had obtained, he would probably have been surrounded by those people in no time.
"Now, I can only gamble."
According to the map, the greatest Treasure of Hive Star lay at the center of the Hive Star. Wherever there is a Treasure, there must be danger—and the richer the Treasure, the greater the danger. With pursuers behind him, if he chose to face them head-on, Lin Mo had absolutely no chance of victory. After all, that was thousands of Star System Level Warriors and over a dozen Star Domain Level Experts.
He could only risk it all!
Bet that there was a great danger in the Treasure ahead that would scare off his pursuers.
As for himself, he had no other choice.
"Faster, faster! Even faster."
Lin Mo clenched his teeth, rapidly flying through the dark passage. As he turned another corridor, he suddenly saw that at the end of this deep tunnel, which should have been pitch Dark, there was actually some light appearing.
"I’m here. This is it."
Lin Mo took a deep breath, his speed not slowing in the slightest, but he secretly controlled the Black Snake Totem on his back, releasing a Netherworld Power Protective Shield that enveloped his whole body. Like an arrow, he shot toward that glowing purple end.
Rushing out of the end of the passage, the scene before his eyes made Lin Mo’s eyes go wide.
A majestic palace, tens of thousands of li tall and floating, appeared in his sight. The palace was like a mountain peak, suspended in midair, and beneath it was a surging pool of purple liquid, like a gigantic lake. The purple slurry heaved and rolled, occasionally throwing up purple waves hundreds of meters high.
"Netherworld Energy?"
Lin Mo was shocked.
These purple vapors were extremely dense, already condensed into liquid form. And such a massive amount of Netherworld Power liquid—who knew how many Netherworld Pills and Netherworld Stones it was equivalent to. It was truly impossible to imagine. But Lin Mo also felt that within this purple liquid, besides the surging Netherworld Power, there was a brutally violent, blood-reeking aura.
The purple slurry rolled and surged, forming layers of hazy purple mist that spread out, completely shrouding the floating palace within.
"Can’t absorb it!" Lin Mo’s face changed, and he immediately sealed his pores.
Just from absorbing a trace of Netherworld Energy into his body, he felt his Five Internal Organs and meridians burning as if scorched by fire.
This Netherworld Energy contained an extremely violent bloody aura; rashly absorbing it was not only useless, it would actually damage his body.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just as Lin Mo was horrified by the scene before him, bursts of wind-tearing sounds rose behind him, and figures shot out from the passage one after another. All of them were stunned by what they saw, exclamations of shock spreading out.
"Seal your pores, don’t absorb the Netherworld Energy here!" A low, cold shout rang out.
Yin Shang and Jiang Rushi also slowly flew out from the crowd, but the warning was already a bit late. Two Star System Level Warriors had deliberately guided the Netherworld Energy into their bodies, intending to refine it. The result: their Five Internal Organs burned, their bodies began to spontaneously combust, turning to ashes that scattered in the air.
Seeing this scene, those whose gazes had shown greed instantly turned pale with shock, hastily sealing their pores.
"Lin Tanyu, there’s nowhere left for you to run now, is there? Hand over the Treasures obediently. If you’re willing, I can spare your pathetic life." Yin Shang looked at Lin Mo, his peripheral vision also sweeping over the rolling purple slurry below.
"Spare my life, then leave your Spiritual Imprint in my soul and turn me into your Puppet?" Lin Mo let out a cold laugh.
The corner of Yin Shang’s mouth curled up as he said blandly, "At this point, do you still have a choice? Even if I kill you, I can still get the Treasures on you."
"I still have one more choice." Lin Mo’s expression was indifferent.
Faint purple light enveloped his body, and he slowly floated up, drifting back step by step. "If you want my Treasures, then follow me!"
Yin Shang’s eyes bulged, the monstrous face twisting fiercely.
"Get him!" Yin Shang clenched his fist, his eyes under his long, narrow brows full of Evil Qi.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh, the four Star Domain Commanders and dozens of Star System Level Warriors shot into the air, streaking toward Lin Mo.
At the same time, Lin Mo’s face suddenly changed drastically. His eyes widened as he stared at the churning purple slurry below.
The purple liquid boiled like a pot of water at full boil, bubbles gurgling up and popping. Suddenly, a gigantic figure burst up from the Purple Lake—a Big Snake, hundreds of zhang thick and a thousand zhang long, shot out. It seemed only a small portion of its body had emerged, with most of it still coiled within the Purple Lake.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The Big Snake opened its mouth, several purple streamers whipping out toward the few people present, Lin Mo included.
"No..."
"I don’t want to die..."
"Ah!"
The four Star Domain Level Experts and dozens of Star System Level Warriors had no power to resist at all, directly wrapped up by the purple streamers and dragged toward the Big Snake’s mouth, their faces filled with terror and despair!
Lin Mo’s face also turned pale. This Big Snake’s strength!
Its suppression of aura... even a Star Domain Level Peak couldn’t possess something like this. This—this was a World Level Beast!
How was that possible? There was actually a living World Level Beast here?
As a purple streamer whipped rapidly toward him, Lin Mo felt he couldn’t even summon his True Yuan; his entire body was crushed under the suppression generated by the Cultivation Realm. Was he really about to die in this beast’s maw?
"Get the hell away from me." Lin Mo’s eyes bulged as the Black Snake on his back radiated dark-purple brilliance, as if Awakening.
The swiftly lashing purple streamer actually collapsed in midair, forcibly disintegrating into purple mist that scattered away.
