Chapter 360

"Hahahaha! You're ruthless!"

The Skin Corpse King let out a laugh, and its face became more ferocious in the laughter.

"But I'll tell you, there's one thing I really didn't lie to you about; as long as I die, that girl will also die!"

"You probably don't know yet, right? That girl is actually the spirit of the Human Emperor Flag! It was precisely because I swallowed her that I was able to perfectly fuse with the flag surface; if I die, that girl's consciousness will also completely dissipate!"

The Skin Corpse King looked fearless, and even looked at Ye Lin with a hint of provocation.

"Now, do you still dare to kill......"

Before the Skin Corpse King could finish speaking, Ye Lin had already stepped down heavily, stepping its head into the gravel.

"You're not even professional at lying; as long as the Human Emperor Flag is still there, the spirit will not die."

Ye Lin's tone was cold, and he stepped down again, flattening the Skin Corpse King's head.

His Eternal Balance was only half left at the time, covered in cracks and about to shatter, but the spirit inside was still fine; the Human Emperor Flag was only broken into three pieces, so if Xia Qinglan were really the spirit, how could she die?

Moreover, the Human Emperor Flag is only a divine artifact; even if it has been refined to nine stars, whether it can produce a spirit is another matter.

Ye Lin was more inclined to believe that this was a stalling tactic the Skin Corpse King had come up with to save its life.

"Are you not afraid at all that what I said is true?"

The Skin Corpse King looked at Ye Lin before it in terror; this guy seemed to have no human emotions at all!

"What does it matter if it's true or false? I can't verify it; for uncontrollable things, one must remain optimistic, so, go in peace."

Ye Lin held down the Skin Corpse King's head; at this moment, the Skin Corpse King was already incomparably weak and had no ability to resist at all.

As the Endless Devouring was activated, the corpse that the Skin Corpse King used as a host was swallowed bit by bit, and in the end, only a layer of human skin remained.

Ye Lin grabbed the human skin with one hand and the flag surface of the Human Emperor Flag with the other, then tore it forcefully.

The weak Skin Corpse King seemed to want to resist, and the human skin emitted bursts of eerie wriggling; Ye Lin immediately felt a cold and powerful resistance.

"Oi, kid, I don't have much time left, I feel a bit hot."

Ye Lin's eyes condensed, and eerie purple-red karma fire appeared from his palm, immediately enveloping the Skin Corpse King.

The Skin Corpse King, which was only a human skin main body, let out a miserable scream; now it couldn't resist the extreme high temperature brought by the karma fire at all.

"You won't get away either! I can feel that a lord's aura is rapidly approaching this side, and you're dead too!"

Feeling its consciousness dissipating, the Skin Corpse King stared at Ye Lin venomously, its full resentment and hatred almost about to spray out.

But in the end, under the burning of the karma fire, it became an eerie black human skin.

As the Skin Corpse King's consciousness dissipated, following Ye Lin's forceful pull, the human skin and the flag surface of the Human Emperor Flag were separated again.

Ye Lin examined the flag surface in his hand, as if seeing a scroll containing ancient history; the patterns on the flag surface flowed with a faint golden light, and every pattern seemed to contain scenes of past battles.

Before Ye Lin could examine it carefully for a few more glances, following a loud boom, an indescribable terrifying power struck, and Ye Lin died on the spot, and the barrier formed by Spirits Return to the Afterlife Realm also completely dissipated at this time.

Just after being reborn, Ye Lin saw a woman.

A woman with purple eyes and black hair, beautiful to the extreme.

A robe as soft as floating catkins was draped casually over her body, outlining the world's rarest and most beautiful curves for her; the undulations under the robe were enough to drive any opposite sex crazy.

The woman walked slowly toward Ye Lin in a lazy and aesthetic posture, trembling, with a pair of crystal-clear and plump beautiful legs looming under the robe.

The only flaw was that the woman's face was currently filled with bone-chilling killing intent.

"Hehe... Little Soul, long time no see~"

Cold sweat broke out on Ye Lin; when he went all out, he guessed that he would definitely alarm the high-level Demon Realm, but he didn't expect the Soul-Devouring Empress to arrive so quickly.

From his going all out to completely solving the Skin Corpse King, it was less than an hour; it could be seen that the Soul-Devouring Empress really hated him and must have started rushing at full speed as soon as she had news of him.

"Long? I only remember 5921 hours."

The Soul-Devouring Empress said coldly, killing intent exploding in her eyes.

"Ye Lin, your time of death has arrived!"

"Little Soul, you've already killed me once; shouldn't our business be settled?" Facing a Demon Clan member with Emperor-level bloodline, Ye Lin also had a big head.

"Don't think I don't know you have the Eternal Balance! What I want is for you to completely disappear from the physical level!"

On the Soul-Devouring Empress's body, purple demonic energy rolled and steamed like boiling water, twisting the surrounding space until it was in tatters.

In a pair of purple pupils, stars were falling, releasing a terrifying chill.

Ye Lin instantly felt a strong sense of suffocation, as if an invisible giant hand had gripped his throat.

He had a feeling that even if the Skin Corpse King were resurrected at full state, it would likely be difficult to last half an hour in front of the Soul-Devouring Empress.

Ye Lin hadn't even had time to make any reaction before he felt the world go black and was wiped out by the Soul-Devouring Empress again.

At the same time, as the barrier of Spirits Return to the Afterlife Realm was broken, the skin corpses in the Millennium City also swarmed toward Ye Lin at this moment.

The massive resentment seemed to turn into substance at this moment, instantly drowning the just-reborn Ye Lin.

These resentments originated from the pain and unwillingness of the skin corpses being skinned alive before they died; they twisted, entangled, like a sticky black tide, crazily tearing at Ye Lin, filled with despair and venom.

Every strand of resentment was like a carving knife, entering through every pore, cutting Ye Lin's will and vitality, continuously eroding his soul.

The threat these resentments brought to Ye Lin was even greater than the Soul-Devouring Empress!

Just at this moment, a faint voice rang in Ye Lin's ear.

"Xie Hong, just consider it for me, wave the Human Emperor Flag at them."

"Please let the flag of the Human Emperor flutter on the land of the Demon Realm once again!"

Ye Lin was shocked in his heart.

"This voice... are you Xia Qinglan?"

Ye Lin didn't expect that the cute girl with big eyes was actually the spirit of the Human Emperor Flag!

Damn, that was close!

After learning this truth, Ye Lin also felt a lingering fear in his heart; fortunately, fortunately, fortunately he had resisted Xia Qinglan's temptation at the time and hadn't done anything strange to Xia Qinglan.

Otherwise, he would have become the fifth great strange man after the grass-hero Xu Xian, the immortal Dong Yong, the insect master Luo Shiyi, and the ghost knight Ning Caichen.
