Chapter 428 - 338: Those Who Block My Immortal Path Shall Die, The Fall of the Void Immortal King

"You’re getting ahead of yourself. Who lives and who dies—it’s still up in the air!"

Lin Chang’sheng replied coldly; these Demon Beasts would find killing him was no easy task.

"Oh?"

A cold smirk curled on the Void Immortal King’s lips. He didn’t believe Lin Chang’sheng could possibly slaughter every Demon Beast here.

After all, this place hardly lacked powerful Void Refining Stage Demon Beasts.

And Lin Chang’sheng was only at the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation—no matter how strong he was, these Demon Beasts could wear him to death by attrition.

"Then I shall wait and see!"

With those words, the Void Immortal King’s figure vanished instantly, disappearing once more into the depths of the Void Divine Hall.

Inside the Void Divine Hall, Lin Chang’sheng had no hope of harming him.

The Divine Hall’s defenses were incomparably formidable.

And with Restriction after Restriction standing in the way, Lin Chang’sheng’s Divine Sense could never penetrate within.

"What now?"

The Wine Sword Immortal looked at the sea of Demon Beasts crowding in from all sides and immediately felt a wave of distress.

This time, it seemed he too might perish here.

"Hold the line!"

Lin Chang’sheng spat out two words.

Since there was no escape, then only a bloody battle to the bitter end remained.

"If we just keep fighting like this, it won’t work. If you want to crush him, I have a way!"

Sword Elder’s voice rang out slowly.

The foe was holed up inside the Void Divine Hall; killing him like this was impossible. But if they could lure him out, taking his life would be much easier.

"What’s the plan?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked.

"He wants to possess your body, doesn’t he? Then play dead. When he comes out, you can make sure he never returns."

Sword Elder advised.

The old ginger was, indeed, spicier—Sword Elder’s words instantly enlightened Lin Chang’sheng. It truly was a fine plan.

But if he was going to feign, it had to be convincing. If he was slain too easily, he’d never fool the Void Immortal King.

So, Lin Chang’sheng decided to face the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle again.

This Lightning Thunderclap Eagle had at least the strength of the Middle Stage of Void Refining, and was even tougher to deal with than Gu Ji.

Rrraaaaargh—

On the ground, countless Demon Beasts now rushed down from the valley with roaring cries.

In a flash, they clashed in bloody battle with the Demon God Tribe’s forces.

Sqwaaack—

High in the heavens, the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle let out a shrill, piercing screech again.

Crack—

In the next instant, bolt after bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, crashing into the mountain valley.

Any Demon God Tribe member caught off-guard was instantly blasted to bloody mist by the Power of Thunder.

Because the gorge was narrow, the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle couldn’t dive down, only circle above, raining down bursts of thunderbolts without cease.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chang’sheng ignored the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle’s aerial advantage and shot up into the sky, engaging it in fierce combat.

The Lightning Thunderclap Eagle’s defenses were nigh impregnable—even unleashing a blade blow with all his might, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t so much as scratch it.

"If only I could tame this Demon Beast—I’d be golden!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought inwardly. Not only was the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle blindingly fast in the air, it also wielded the Power of Thunder, and its attacks were brutally domineering.

If he could subdue it, it would surely become a powerful asset in times to come.

Chraaaw—

The Lightning Thunderclap Eagle, seeing Lin Chang’sheng charging in, beat its wings and unleashed volley after volley of lightning assaults in retaliation.

Lin Chang’sheng waved his hand and threw out the Blood Jade Bracelet, which instantly expanded in the wind, transforming into an indestructible mountain range.

Rumble—

Bolts of thunder struck the Blood Jade Bracelet, but caused little harm, each one blocked in turn.

This Blood Jade Bracelet was a treasure of the Immortal Realm—unless it was an extraordinary blow, shattering it was nearly impossible.

After taking the Thundering Eagle’s barrage, Lin Chang’sheng followed up with another ferocious slash of his blade.

And so, Lin Chang’sheng and the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle waged brutal battle in the heavens.

On the ground below, the others wrestled in blood and gore with the Demon Beasts.

The Demon God Tribe’s members and the Demon Beasts fell in one clash after another, filling the ground with fresh blood—a hellscape of carnage and desolation.

Thankfully, with the Demon God subdued by Lin Chang’sheng, it no longer attacked the tribe, but instead went on a rampage slaying Demon Beasts.

The Demon Beasts surged toward the Demon God Tree, only to have their bodies skewered one by one on its trunk, their blood greedily sucked dry by the Demon God Tree.

After about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Lin Chang’sheng saw time was almost up. If he dragged this out with the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle any longer, everyone below would soon be dead.

Rumble—

This time, the Lightning Thunderclap Eagle let loose its most savage barrage of feathers and lightning. Lin Chang’sheng chose not to block with any treasure, meeting the assault head-on with his blade.

Shhk—

Razor-sharp feathers ripped open Lin Chang’sheng’s flesh, leaving bloody gashes in their wake.

A bolt of lightning struck his shoulder dead-on, blasting a wound so deep the bone was laid bare.

With the momentum, Lin Chang’sheng let himself fall from the sky, crashing hard into the river below.

"Chang’sheng—!"

Yan Zhen saw Lin Chang’sheng plummet to the ground, grievously wounded, and cried out in alarm, eyes wide with shock.

Lin Chang’sheng had no time to explain this was a ruse; he controlled a Primordial Spirit Dharma Body to swiftly depart his flesh, fleeing into the distance.

The Void Immortal King saw this and was overjoyed, believing Lin Chang’sheng’s body perished while his spirit attempted escape.

This was the perfect chance for spirit possession.

Without hesitating, the Void Immortal King rushed out of the Void Divine Hall, heading straight for Lin Chang’sheng’s body.

Yet as soon as the Void Immortal King entered Lin Chang’sheng’s Sea of Consciousness, he was hit by a sense of unease.

For Lin Chang’sheng’s Primordial Spirit and Sword Elder’s Divine Soul were already waiting there for him.

"How... how is this possible? Wasn’t your Divine Soul already gone?"

The Void Immortal King exclaimed in horror, realizing he’d been played.

He’d seen it with his own eyes—Lin Chang’sheng’s Primordial Spirit had clearly left the body, so how could it still be here?
