Chapter 96: Unparalleled Strength_1
After his skull was pierced, the energy on the surface of the Impermanence Saint gradually vanished, his form turning entirely into a fiendish black skeleton. The thick aura of death it emanated sent chills down the spine. He glared at Lin Beye, his expression filled with intense unwillingness. Finally, he exploded violently, turning into a sky full of dust.
"A clone..."
After defeating his enemy, Lin Beye didn’t show much joy; instead, he was filled with worry.
Technically speaking, it wasn’t a clone but a benevolent corpse, corresponding to the second stage of the Saint Realm. The Saint Realm includes the Lesser Saint, Middle Saint, Great Saint, and Supreme Saint ranks! The Lesser Saint Realm is Lin Beye’s current realm, countless times more powerful than the average Semi-Saint. To advance to the Middle Saint Realm, one must slay the benevolent corpse. Moving further, to ascend to the Great Saint Level, one must slay the evil corpse. Finally, in the Supreme Saint Realm, one must sever their personal obsessions, merge their heart with all things, and lay the foundation for Dao Convergence. When the three corpses are unified, one can advance to the Saint King Realm...
A Middle Saint Realm Martial Artist is tens of times stronger than a Lesser Saint, especially when fighting alongside the benevolent corpse they have slain, which also possesses Saint Realm cultivation. Their combined combat power is terrifying.
In this battle, while the slaying of the Impermanence Saint’s benevolent corpse would affect the true Impermanence Saint, he could fully reconstruct it as long as he had enough energy.
"Congratulations, Ancestor, on slaying the enemy!" Lin Ao Zu exclaimed, leading the experts of the Lin Family forward and bowing respectfully. They were unaware that it was merely a benevolent corpse that had perished; they believed Lin Beye had killed the Impermanence Saint’s true body.
Lin Ao Zu was the most ecstatic. Without the Impermanence Saint to contend with, he could lead their experts to annihilate the Changeable Mansion, dominate the Nine Dao Domains, and become an uncrowned king.
"Why are you so happy? He is not dead yet!" Lin Beye said coldly, dousing their enthusiasm like a bucket of cold water.
Lin Ao Zu’s expression stiffened. He opened his mouth to ask, but seeing Lin Beye’s icy demeanor, he wisely shut it.
"This is trouble!" Many miles away, the Emperor of Qin said in a grave voice, his gaze fixed on the Lin Family experts. Qin Taizu, Li Si, Bai Qi, and Zhang Gan also wore solemn expressions. They were all astute individuals who instantly recognized the unfavorability of the current situation to them. In essence, treasures stir hearts, and possessing them invites trouble.
