Chapter 548: The Method to Enter the World Origin

The might brought forth by millions of soul bodies is terrifying in the extreme.

The resentment they radiate alone is enough to plunge those with wavering minds into a madness of slaughter.

Ban Muming, who had already been slain by Ji Tianxuan, was once again fully restored, looking down at Ji Tianxuan from on high.

Looking at the dense mass of soul bodies before him, Ji Tianxuan fell into utter despair.

This was, fundamentally, a battle that could not be won.

Even if he held the Xuanyuan Sword, he was still just one man.

Even if the millions of soul bodies lined up for him to cut down, he would have to hack away for a very long time.

"Tianxuan... admit defeat..."

Ji Wubing sighed helplessly.

He had already seen it: Ye Lin merely wanted to use Ji Tianxuan to make the Xuanyuan Sword fully awaken.

This guy had been determined to get the Xuanyuan Sword from the very beginning.

Now that the Xuanyuan Sword had completely awakened, if Ye Lin made another move, he likely would not hold back again.

"I know I can't win... I just... am not reconciled..."

Ji Tianxuan gritted his teeth.

He was the son of the Ji family head, a figure who looked down upon his peers.

From childhood to adulthood, few of his age had been his match.

Relying on his proud talent and diligent effort, he had drawn the Xuanyuan Sword and successfully caused it to fully awaken.

Yet in the end, all of this had become a wedding dress made for someone else.

How could Ji Tianxuan be reconciled to this?

He was usually cheerful and seemingly without airs, but in his heart, he had his own pride.

The knuckles of the hand with which Ji Tianxuan gripped the Xuanyuan Sword turned white, and his entire body could not stop trembling.

"Boss... did we... go a bit too far?" Ji Lingyu could not help but ask.

"If he wins, then the banner in your hand is not the Human Emperor Banner, but the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."

Ye Lin's gaze was very calm, without the slightest ripple.

"And if you win, then his Xuanyuan Sword is no longer the Xuanyuan Sword, but the Golden Blood Demon Sword."

These words from Ye Lin left Ji Lingyu completely bewildered.

Seeing Ji Lingyu's confused expression, Ye Lin did not explain anything further.

In the days before he became a Forbidden Curse Master, Ye Lin had only learned one thing.

Survive.

Survive like a wild beast.

Even if covered in wounds and on the verge of death, as ugly as a stray dog, dragging bloody intestines as one crawls on the ground—as long as there is a breath left, one must continue to survive.

To want to live, one must exhaust everything to obtain every resource available nearby.

This world is inherently unfair.

If he had come to the Ji family when he was level twenty or thirty, he believed the Ji family certainly wouldn't have minded finding a way to extract the Eternal Balance from his body.

No one was wrong; everyone just wanted to live better.

Those who successfully survive can beautify the things they have done.

The Human Emperor Banner can be the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, and the Xuanyuan Sword can also become the Golden Blood Demon Sword.

Perhaps in terms of strength and talent, Ji Tianxuan was more suited to control the Xuanyuan Sword, but for Ye Lin, Ji Lingyu was clearly the more suitable candidate.

"Many thanks to the Ji family for the sword; the Ji family head is generous."

Ye Lin reached out, snatched the Xuanyuan Sword from Ji Tianxuan's hand, and tossed it casually to Ji Lingyu.

Ji Lingyu was still in a state of shock at this moment.

He had thought Ye Lin wanted to get him a divine-artifact-level sword, but Ye Lin had directly gotten him an Origin Ancient Artifact?

"Boss... I feel... I am not worthy of this sword."

Ji Lingyu held the Xuanyuan Sword with both hands, his face filled with awe and trepidation.

"You are worthy, because... I think you are worthy."

Ye Lin raised a finger and tapped it lightly on the blade of the Xuanyuan Sword.

As the power of the Chaos Divine Domain spread, the Xuanyuan Sword emitted a burst of sword hums.

The next second, the Xuanyuan Sword immediately acknowledged its master.

A golden light enveloped Ji Lingyu, and a golden pillar of light shot into the sky.

In an instant, strange phenomena appeared, and sword Qi raged.

This scene left the people of the Ji family in utter despair.

Forcing one of the seven Origin Ancient Artifacts, the Eternal Divine Sword, to acknowledge a master through brute force—they had never heard of such a bizarre thing in their entire lives.

That Ye Lin could achieve this only meant he already possessed the strength to destroy the Eternal Divine Sword.

Living in the same era as such a person was a stroke of luck, and also a misfortune.

Almost all members of the Ji family had the same thought as Zhuge Yi.

As long as Ye Lin was still alive, they would never provoke this guy, even if they died.

Ji Lingyu was stunned.

He clearly felt that the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand now had a sense of connection with his heart.

The Xuanyuan Sword felt like an extension of his own body, responding to his every command.

"Let's go, there is still serious business to attend to."

Ye Lin urged.

"Forbidden Curse? Space-Time Wormhole!"

A spatial passage led directly to the side of Zhuge Yi.

"Leaving now, friends of the Ji family; I'll come visit again when I have time."

Ye Lin's words made the corners of Ji Wubing's mouth twitch slightly.

He wished he would never see Ye Lin again in this lifetime.

Zhuge Yi was guarding that mass of World Origin, and the Human Emperor and Xie Hong had already been brought over by Guo Qin, along with Bai Si, Ye Lin, and Ji Lingyu.

At this moment, the Eternal Balance, Eternal Imperial Seal, Eternal Eye, Eternal Ancient Tome, Eternal Magic Cube, Eternal Divine Sword, and Eternal Key—the seven Origin Ancient Artifacts were all gathered here!

"Good son-in-law, why are you in such a rush to call me over?"

There was a hint of wariness in Xie Hong's eyes; based on his understanding of Ye Lin, nothing good ever came from Ye Lin taking the initiative to seek him out.

The Human Emperor's eyes also held confusion, but he did not rush to ask.

"Ask you a question: do you want to step into the Divine Domain Realm?" Ye Lin asked with a smile.

"You have a way?" Xie Hong's eyes widened.

The Divine Domain Realm—that was a realm that only existed in legends.

Looking at the entire history of the human race, no one had ever successfully stepped into the Divine Domain Realm, which showed just how difficult it was to cross into this realm.

Some had even claimed that the Divine Domain Realm did not exist in the world at all!

"I suppose I do; come out and get to work."

Ye Lin hauled Bai San out, while simultaneously remaining secretly vigilant in his heart.

Bai San knew many things, but this guy had never been honest from start to finish.

Ye Lin only dared to believe half of what he said.

"Tell me, how do I enter this mass of World Origin?" Ye Lin asked.

"I can tell you, but the time for me to get fresh air every day must be increased to two hours!" Bai San immediately said.

"One hour and ten minutes," Ye Lin stated.

"No! At least one hour and fifty minutes!" Bai San began to haggle.

"Then forget it. Guys, let's figure out how to get in! Bai Si, use your Eternal Magic Cube to deduce it!"

Ye Lin flipped the table directly (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

He did not give Bai San any chance to negotiate at all.

Bai San immediately panicked.

"Fine! One hour and ten minutes is fine! I'll tell you: to enter the World Origin, you must sacrifice enough blood of living beings!"
