Chapter 208
🕑 Added 2024-06-25 04:00:01 +0000 UTCDeep within the Black Mist Mountains.
The Azure Alliance Leader's blood surged, almost succumbing to demonic influence on the spot.
The trusted subordinates, respected seniors, close friends, and beloved confidants—all of them betraying him at once?
The Azure Alliance Leader wasn't a fool. In the moment when everyone surrounded him, an incredibly unbelievable thought surged in his mind.
That they had all betrayed him, siding with that evil god's offspring.
But how could this be possible?
Leaving aside what price that evil god's offspring paid to buy off the subordinates he had nurtured for so many years, the crucial question was when did this happen?
How could he be completely unaware until now? The Azure Alliance Leader's heart turned cold as he looked at the many powerful figures surrounding him.
Just moments ago, they had been respectful to him, but now they were all ice-cold, showing no hint of mercy.
"Do you...do you even realize what you're doing?"
The Azure Alliance Leader felt a pang of regret as he spoke softly.
He wanted to ask, why would they choose to side with the evil god's offspring?
Following him, enjoying the adoration of countless beings in the Azure World, wasn't that better than siding with the evil god? The Azure Alliance Leader particularly focused his gaze on Ah Yan.
She was his beloved woman. After driving away the extraplanar evil god, the Azure Alliance Leader ruled over the Azure World, and Ah Yan could have stood beside him as well.
The others might have a slight possibility of betrayal, but why would Ah Yan betray him? The Azure Alliance Leader looked at Ah Yan with hopeful eyes, but all he got in return was a cold stare.
"Who are you, really?"
The Azure Alliance Leader didn't make a move to break free.
Because, given the current situation, with all his subordinates betraying him and Lin Yuan being the mastermind behind it, he knew that breaking free by himself was unlikely.
The Azure Alliance Leader understood that if they dared to confront him, they must have made thorough preparations.
So...
What the Azure Alliance Leader needed to do now, was to buy time.
And then, recall the World Sword.
Not long ago, during the destruction of the evil god battlefield, the Azure Alliance Leader had left the World Sword outside the world.
To prevent any counterattacks from evil god.
Actually, there was no problem with that.
Even though the Azure Alliance Leader couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, for him, the biggest threat was not the evil god outside the world.
But Lin Yuan within the world.
However.
No matter what difficulties he faced.
The Azure Alliance Leader believed.
As long as he had the World Sword, he could face any situation without fear.
The World Sword was a world weapon nurtured by the Azure World for countless years.
The closer it was to the Azure World, the stronger its power.
If it were activated within the world, the Azure Alliance Leader was confident that even the evil god at its peak wouldn't dare to confront him head-on.
By then, he would reclaim everything that belonged to him.
However.
As the Azure Alliance Leader was buying time, did Lin Yuan not know?
He had finally waited for the opportunity for the Azure Alliance Leader to separate from the World Sword.
Naturally, he wouldn't hold back.
The moment the Azure Alliance Leader looked at him.
Lin Yuan directly released the "Evil God's Gaze."
This technique was derived from the evil god's abilities and was similarly powerful in the hands of the offspring evil god. What's more, it was being used by Lin Yuan.
Terrifying soul fluctuations swept through and spread.
The Azure Alliance Leader felt his thoughts shake, and even his consciousness began to slowly plummet.
"Not good."
The Azure Alliance Leader's expression changed drastically. He struggled to gather his thoughts, bit his tongue, and used a forbidden technique to regain consciousness.
Then he flew into the sky.
Through the brief respite.
The Azure Alliance Leader realized that staying behind to delay time was even more dangerous.
"This move's power is almost on par with that evil god's. What kind of monster is this offspring evil god?"
The Azure Alliance Leader's scalp tingled.
At this moment, he began to doubt himself.
With such a powerful offspring evil god, did he really defeat the evil god?
It made no sense at all.
Generally speaking, the mother's strength far surpassed that of the offspring.
Yet the strength of the offspring evil god he was facing now indicated that its mother should have the means to easily destroy the entire Azure World.
But reality was completely different.
When he destroyed the evil god battlefield, the evil god didn't dare to show itself.
With such a powerful offspring evil god, why was it so cowardly?
The Azure Alliance Leader's thoughts surged, rushing towards the outskirts of the Black Mist Mountains.
He had already begun to recall the World Sword, and as long as he persisted for a while longer, just... The Azure Alliance Leader hadn't finished his thoughts.
When he saw the heavens and earth inverted, and the power of space swirling around, forming a cage.
"Indeed."
"Relying solely on the abilities of the demonic tree, it's still difficult to keep you here."
Lin Yuan sighed lightly, vines swaying as he manipulated the power of space, teleporting the Azure Alliance Leader back in front of him.
Even without the World Sword, the Azure Alliance Leader was still a peak seventh-rank power.
Even if the evil god wanted to kill the Azure Alliance Leader, it would take some effort, and there was still a chance for him to escape.
"What kind of technique is this?"
Compared to Lin Yuan's sigh, the Azure Alliance Leader was completely stunned.
Just now, he had clearly escaped a certain distance, so why was he back now?
"The power of space, to use it like this?"
The Azure Alliance Leader's mind trembled, and at his level, he had long begun to comprehend the rules of space.
However, the Azure World's foundation was limited, and the Azure Alliance Leader's comprehension of spatial rules had always been like a blind man feeling an elephant.
For the Azure Alliance Leader, his comprehension of spatial rules had no foundation or core spatial model to refer to.
Everything had to rely on himself.
Lin Yuan, from the incredibly prosperous Human Civilization Alliance of the main world, dealt a heavy blow to the Azure Alliance Leader.
"Hmm?"
Ignoring the Azure Alliance Leader's astonishment, Lin Yuan's gaze shifted to a certain direction.
That was the direction where the evil god battlefield used to be, but now, a vast aura was rapidly approaching.
"Is it the World Sword?"
Lin Yuan had anticipated this.
Having wielded the World Sword for four hundred years, the Azure Alliance Leader must have a unique sensitivity to it.
In a life-or-death situation, the World Sword automatically protected its master, which was perfectly normal and within Lin Yuan's expectations.
"However...it's too late."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
If the Azure Alliance Leader had recalled the World Sword before entering the Black Mist Mountains, he might still have had a chance against Lin Yuan.
But now?
Even if it was the World Sword flying from outside the Azure World to the Black Mist Mountains, it would take at least half a stick's worth of time.
In such a long time, Lin Yuan would have long crushed the Azure Alliance Leader.
Of course.
Lin Yuan also considered that the World Sword could traverse space, similar to teleportation, to approach the Black Mist Mountains.
But Lin Yuan had also prepared countermeasures.
The World Sword was indeed powerful, but it required the owner's activation.
Without an active World Sword, its power would greatly diminish. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Azure Alliance Leader to wield it.
Why not just confront the evil god directly?
And after the World Sword's power diminished, Lin Yuan was confident he could hold it back.
"Begin parasitizing."
Lin Yuan's mind flickered, and a gray seed began to descend, entering the spatial cage.
And within a few breaths, the Azure Alliance Leader, who had fallen into the spatial cage under Lin Yuan's attack, was already critically injured and on the brink of death.
If it weren't for Lin Yuan's intention to parasitize, the Azure Alliance Leader would have died long ago.
"Ah, this is parasitism? No, the parasitic methods of the evil god shouldn't be like this."
The Azure Alliance Leader moaned in pain.
At this moment, many images flashed through his mind, of his subordinates, seniors, and beloved ones, all betraying him for no apparent reason.
"I see."
A look of realization finally appeared on the Azure Alliance Leader's face.
So they didn't betray him after all, but were controlled by this offspring evil god?
The Azure Alliance Leader's gaze revealed a sense of relief, and in the next moment.
The Azure Alliance Leader closed his eyes, stood up, and bowed to Lin Yuan, saying, "Greetings, Master."
The parasitism was successful.
For four hundred years, the Azure Alliance Leader had been battling with the progenitor evil god, with eighth-rank strength thanks to the World Sword.
But most of it relied on the World Sword, while the Azure Alliance Leader himself remained at seventh rank.
Therefore.
Facing Lin Yuan, who had also reached the peak of the seventh rank and whose strength was not much weaker than that of the evil god, the Azure Alliance Leader naturally had no ability to resist.
"Master."
The Azure Alliance Leader said respectfully.
"Rise."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
To deal with this Azure Alliance Leader, Lin Yuan had made many preparations and had hidden cards.
For example, he had prevented the Azure Alliance Leader from breaking through the spatial cage.
Even if the Azure Alliance Leader did manage to do so, there were still more means waiting for him.
"Can you continue to control the World Sword?"
Lin Yuan asked directly.
Communicating with his host directly and asking was easier.
"Master."
"I should be able to."
The Azure Alliance Leader closed his eyes to sense it for a moment before nodding.
"Very good."
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
The reason why he had gone to such lengths to control the Azure Alliance Leader was not only because the Azure Alliance Leader himself possessed the strength of the strongest in the Azure World.
More importantly, it was the World Sword.
The World Sword was nurtured by the Azure World.
In theory, it was impossible to leave the world. It was closely related to the origin of the Azure World.
If Lin Yuan could obtain the World Sword and complement it with his unparalleled insight, he might be able to comprehend the great secret of the world's operation and then integrate it into his own world.
For eighth-rank evolvers, or even ninth-rank evolvers, cultivation mainly focused on their own world.
Continuously perfecting their own world, making it grow, and eventually becoming a true great world.
"Go, bring back the World Sword."
Lin Yuan commanded the Azure Alliance Leader.
"Yes."
The Azure Alliance Leader left.
Half an hour later.
The Azure Alliance Leader returned.
But this time, he had a stone longsword in his hand.
This longsword was entirely made of gray-white stone, but faintly emanated waves of commanding world power.
"Is this the World Sword?"
With a slight movement of his mind, the World Sword in the hands of the Azure Alliance Leader flew into Lin Yuan's presence.
Buzz!!
Perhaps sensing something, the World Sword began to struggle violently.
"If it were outside, you might have a chance to break free."
"But here..."
Lin Yuan sneered.
Having managed the Black Mist Mountains for one or two hundred years, every inch of space was under his control, and the World Sword had no possibility of resistance.
Soon.
Lin Yuan's consciousness briefly touched the World Sword.
"Hmm?"
Through the World Sword, Lin Yuan vaguely sensed the vast origin of the Azure World and the already dormant world consciousness.
"As expected."
Lin Yuan felt no surprise. It was only natural for the world consciousness to fall asleep.
Did using the World Sword really not require any cost? If that were true, why didn't the Azure World allow the World Sword to emerge?
If it weren't for the invasion of the evil god this time, causing the Azure World to feel the threat of destruction, the World Sword probably wouldn't have emerged either.
"The World Sword is the most essential manifestation of the Azure World's core. Every time it is used, it shakes the consciousness of the Azure World."
"With time, and with frequent use, the world consciousness of the Azure World will fall asleep."
"Of course, even if the world consciousness falls asleep, the Azure World still has an almost instinctual defense against the outside world, but for matters within the world..."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
If the world consciousness of the Azure World were awake, Lin Yuan's growth would definitely not have been so smooth.
It was also thanks to the evil god. If it weren't for this evil god, the Azure Alliance Leader would not have frequently activated the World Sword, ultimately reaching a certain limit and causing the world consciousness to fall asleep completely.
Lin Yuan's gaze shifted to the Azure Alliance Leader, Vice Leader, Guardians, Elders, Four Beast Kings, and Monster Kings below.
Before controlling the Azure Alliance Leader, Lin Yuan was merely the behind-the-scenes controller of the Azure World.
But now, Lin Yuan was the true 'uncrowned king' of the Azure World.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
During this time, Lin Yuan had instructed the Azure Alliance Leader and others to return to the central Azure Mountain of the Azure World according to the normal plan and receive the worship of all beings.
In addition, under Lin Yuan's covert push, the martial arts cultivation system officially became the most authoritative cultivation system in the Azure World, alongside the original cultivation system.
With Lin Yuan's influence, it could be foreseen that in hundreds of years, the martial arts cultivation system of the Azure World would be completely replaced by martial arts.
At the deepest part of the Black Mist Mountains.
Lin Yuan's consciousness gathered in the root area.
Looking at the cluster of burning black flames.
"It's about time."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
It was also time to deal with the evil god.
Lin Yuan was worried that waiting any longer would make the evil god forcibly consider 'cutting meat' and leaving.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's thoughts converged, and he began to contact the evil god through the burning black flames.
The burning black flames were the hub between the evil god and Lin Yuan. The evil god could contact Lin Yuan through these flames.
And Lin Yuan could also contact it in reverse.
Of course, originally, a subordinate evil god like Lin Yuan did not have the authority to contact the evil god actively.
But after the last talent was released, the evil god simply allowed Lin Yuan to contact it at any time.
There was no other way.
Now, Lin Yuan was its only hope for redemption, the hope that had descended upon the Azure World, making up for all previous losses.
