Chapter 781: Heaven-Swallowing Beast

No one noticed when this monk, with his jade-like, refined appearance, had appeared; it was as if the fellow had simply popped out from the ground.

Until someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this monk that Ye Xiehong? Wasn't he converted by that little nun?"

"Why is this guy carrying a Ten Thousand Soul Banner? Could it be that he only pretended to convert to the Buddhist faith?"

"How did he appear alone? Where is that little nun? The Buddhist power of conversion should be able to awaken these people who have been controlled!"

Everyone's gaze focused on Ye Lin.

Ye Lin could not help but feel a tightening in his heart; if it were discovered that he was the one pulling the strings, he would likely be torn to shreds by others in an instant.

He had not expected that little silver pagoda to be such a sore loser; he had only snatched a few kills from it, and it had already started targeting him.

"Amitabha."

Ye Lin pressed his palms together, chanted a Buddhist name, and revealed an expression of compassion for all living things.

"Fellow Daoists, a true demonic cultivator has infiltrated the Demon-Sealing Realm! This Ten Thousand Soul Banner was seized by this poor monk from that demonic cultivator's hands!"

"This poor monk also learned from the mouth of that demonic cultivator that this place is not a place of inheritance at all, but rather that the demonic cultivator intends to use this place to trap and kill us all!"

"This poor monk is willing to swear a Dao oath; if what I say is not true, I am willing to suffer the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing my heart."

Once these words left Ye Lin's mouth, it was undoubtedly like throwing a giant boulder onto a calm lake, and the scene instantly erupted in an uproar.

"No wonder! I had long suspected that something was wrong with this place; no wonder Gu Tianshou and the others were controlled!"

"So many teams from other sects were wiped out before, with neither hide nor hair to be found—it really was the work of a demonic cultivator!"

"Damn it, how did the demonic cultivators sneak into the Demon-Sealing Realm? What did they come for? Is it for the things left behind after the death of the Extinction Demon Venerable?"

Combining the previous information with the fact that Ye Lin had sworn a Dao oath, the many cultivators did not doubt Ye Lin's explanation.

After all, what Ye Lin said did indeed match the situation before their eyes.

"Benefactors, this place is dangerous. Please hurry and leave. Leave these possessed people to this poor monk to deal with. If I do not enter hell, who will? Amitabha!"

The golden light of merit on Ye Lin's body shone even brighter, and the sound of Buddhist chants echoed in their ears, making Ye Lin appear like an enlightened high monk who had walked out of a myth.

"Master Ye is truly righteous!"

"It seems this Ye Xiehong has indeed turned over a new leaf; it is truly rare."

"Master Ye, your great kindness needs no thanks. If there is anything you need me for in the future, just give a shout!"

Many cultivators had long since wanted to retreat. Now that Ye Lin was helping them hold back those possessed people, it was exactly what they wanted, and many cast grateful looks toward Ye Lin.

Ye Lin was also happy to do this favor; after all, he had already been targeted by the possessed Gu Tianshou and the others, and he had nowhere to run anyway.

Moreover, with the Crystal Wall Dimensional Array and the Undead Return Realm, these people could not escape.

"Kill!"

Gu Tianshou roared, controlling the Heaven-Swallowing Beast and the Profound Underworld Owl to charge directly at Ye Lin.

Mo Ran and the other possessed individuals followed closely behind, all killing toward Ye Lin, intending to finish off this fellow who dared to steal their fruits of labor.

"Forbidden Spell: Wall of Sighs!"

A black wall rose from the ground, blocking the path in front of everyone.

After breaking through to the early stage of Cave Profound, Ye Lin's strength surged. The Wall of Sighs he summoned was comparable to a natural chasm, and the people present could not cross it by even half a step; all their attacks were blocked by the Wall of Sighs.

But at this moment, Gu Tianshou's Heaven-Swallowing Beast made its move.

That big black cat opened its mouth and took a bite out of the Wall of Sighs, directly biting a large hole through it!

"What the hell! What kind of cat is this?"

Ye Lin was startled by the terrifying combat power of the Heaven-Swallowing Beast. He had not expected such an inconspicuous black cat to be capable of such great destructive power, to the point that even the Wall of Sighs could not stop it.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the tall Wall of Sighs was swallowed clean by the Heaven-Swallowing Beast, and after finishing, the creature even gave Ye Lin a provocative look.

"Fine, you little kitty, I want to see just how much you can swallow!"

"Forbidden Spell: World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

Dark clouds piled up, and a violent thunder dragon descended from the sky, striking straight at the pitch-black Heaven-Swallowing Beast!

The World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder, unleashed at full power with Ye Lin's current strength, would be enough to make a Fluttering Realm cultivator prepare for a serious battle, even without the Heart Demon Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Yet, a look of contempt appeared in the depths of the Heaven-Swallowing Beast's eyes.

It opened its big mouth again, and the brilliant, violent thunder was swallowed directly into the Heaven-Swallowing Beast's belly, without even causing a ripple.

The Heaven-Swallowing Beast let out a satisfied burp, and a few wisps of lightning arcs flashed.

"Hmm?!"

Ye Lin's eyes lit up. It could actually swallow his World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder directly; this big black cat was a good thing!

Ever since he learned Beast Taming, he had only ever tamed mosquitoes, which meant he dared not use the skill recklessly, as it was very easy to be hunted down by cultivators from all sides; even demonic cultivators would want to eliminate demons and defend the Dao upon seeing it.

If he could make this big black cat his own, wouldn't that be wonderful?

The Heaven-Swallowing Beast seemed to sense the greed in Ye Lin's eyes. It lowered its body, and a low whimper sounded from its throat, with faint signs that it was about to start hissing.

However, Ye Lin did not care at all. He rubbed his hands in anticipation and approached the Heaven-Swallowing Beast step by step, whispering to himself.

"Here kitty, kitty, kitty, come here~ I have something delicious here, come on, come on~"

Ye Lin grinned, approaching the Heaven-Swallowing Beast with a radiant smile.

But the Heaven-Swallowing Beast clearly did not appreciate it, directly swatting him with a paw, leaving three bloodstains deep enough to see bone on Ye Lin's chest, and blood instantly stained Ye Lin's monk robe red.

"Why are you scratching people? What a bad cat!"

Ye Lin cursed, but the light in his eyes grew even brighter; this Heaven-Swallowing Beast was absolutely top-tier!

With the physical strength of his Hundred Tribulations Imperial Body, he had actually almost been killed by a single swipe.

He now somewhat regretted not learning the power of conversion from that little nun, Fan Xin. If Fan Xin were here, she should be able to convert this Heaven-Swallowing Beast with ease.

After all, the Profound Underworld Owl had already proven Fan Xin's terror before.

Although that little nun was a bit stubborn, her strength was absolutely unquestionable.

Although he did not know how to convert, Ye Lin had his own methods. Ye Lin began to chant directly at the Heaven-Swallowing Beast.

"Hajimi, hajimi, hajimi~"

"Hajimi, ding-dong chicken, fat baby, step-step back, kangaroo chicken, one belt one road~"

"Hahahaha-jimi, mi-jimi-ha, hajimi oh, namerudo, ashiga, haiyaku, naru~ the one upstairs come down to do the audit, little black gloves, so fat, so cute~"
