Chapter 1600: Who the hell is so lacking in virtue!

~7 min read 1,304 words

Who the hell did this! You really can move things? If you've got the guts, move all the dangerous lands of the Azure Cloud Star Sea over to me!

Lin Lei also burst out laughing in anger; he'd been an assassin for many years, he'd seen great storms.

But this chain of dangerous lands before him left him increasingly speechless.

He charged straight in!

Still, it was sheer force clearing away every obstacle.

He produced a short blade, swinging it; an icy cold light shone toward the twisted trees.

Hiss—

The twisted trunks of those trees, their dense branches and leaves, though mostly rotten, were vast in number; even the rotten branches could move, each lunging at Lin Lei like green snakes.

Lin Lei kept slashing down with his short blade, face twisted in disgust: 'Truly disgusting, these things!'

The cold light, like lightning, cut each twisted branch straight into powder.

But this was only the outermost part of the abyss.

Lin Lei swept his divine sense over it; this long abyss was filled with dense ancient divine trees, and the aura of tree spirits grew stronger the deeper he went.

He pressed on.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, even someone as strong as Lin Lei had to find a hidden spot to temporarily recover.

His right arm had been pierced; pus poison flowed from the wound, a pure ancient toxin, and even after swallowing healing pills, it could not be healed.

His right arm grew weak.

This isn't the twisted abyss from before at all!

Lin Lei panted.

The perilous lands of the Azure Cloud Star Sea couldn't possibly be this dangerous!

After resting for an hour, he immediately rose and pressed on.

Just because.

The toxin in his right arm's wound was actually spreading, and it was absorbing the tree-spirit energy from the abyss, giving his right arm a faint tendency to turn into wood.

What the hell is this thing?

Lin Lei sealed his right arm, and his formerly carefree mood turned heavy.

Half a day later.

He reached the very end of the twisted abyss, with one fallen twisted divine tree after another lying behind him.

But his right arm began to rot, just like those ancient branches, filled with tree-spirit energy.

Damn it!

He had realized that this twisted abyss contained a kind of 'Dao' and 'momentum'.

Anyone contaminated by this toxin would tend to transform into a tree spirit.

Lin Lei gritted his teeth and directly severed his right arm.

Blood spattered!

His eyes nearly burst as he shouted, 'Once I kill that plain-clothed woman and white-robed man, I will surely uncover the mastermind behind this peril and slay them!'

In the depths of the peril, Chen Zhangsheng's face showed neither joy nor sorrow; he fully perceived the situation within the peril.

He did not make a move.

Lin Lei strode out of the twisted abyss, 'Goodbye!'

Just as he thought he had left the peril, the scenery before him shifted, and once again a fierce aura emanated.

Looking around, white bones covered the ground.

Piles of white bones heaped into hills; in the distance, a White Bone River trickled along, and above the sky, white bones hung down.

It was completely an apocalyptic scene!

Lin Lei frowned deeply, quickly unfolded a star map, his face grim: 'This is a White Bone Peril—I never expected to find one here!'

He directly laughed in anger.

'Could the person who set this up really have moved all the perils over? Fine, fine, fine! You really…'

It was obvious that this White Bone Peril was completely different from the previous perils; it had been remade.

When all he could do was press on.

He had been an assassin for many years; at the most perilous times, he had felt a hundred times more desperate than this situation.

Now it merely put him in a tough spot, but he could still cope!

Whoosh!

When Lin Lei stepped forward, the White Bone River actually changed course and surged straight at him.

The White Bone River, vast and mighty, burst with a booming roar; this great force was entirely like half of the White Bone Peril erupting in revolt, as the momentum of heaven and earth flowed into it.

Within the river, there were not only white bone remnants, but also White Bone Spiritual Weapons, White Bone Warriors… myriad strange killing phenomena.

Lin Lei's face grew somewhat grim, yet he still went forward to meet the challenge.

He cursed the creator of the peril under his breath: 'Damn your grandpa…'

One day later.

Lin Lei finally reached the end of the White Bone Peril, but half of his body was contaminated by the white bone aura; his flesh vanished, turning into a white bone body, truly eerie.

Half of his face also became hollow, like a skull.

When he stepped out of the White Bone Peril once more, he exploded with rage.

Another peril! Who the hell is so lacking in virtue!

From now on, each peril will inflict heavy losses on Lin Lei.

During that time, he still entered the peril to seek opportunity, hoping to use the peril's own opportunity to resist the momentum of heaven and earth.

But what angered him was that the opportunity within the ominous lands had already been plundered; that place was a trap, likewise harboring killing intent.

I am a Dao Fusion Realm cultivator, yet I actually stumbled in the Azure Cloud Star Sea; returning to the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion would surely make people laugh at me to death.

Lin Lei was both angry and amused.

This is like a divine being being harmed by a mortal!

Several days later.

Lin Lei finally dragged his remaining corpse across the Nine Ominous Lands, reaching the true depths of the ominous lands, and he could already sense the aura of the Azure Cloud Star Sea.

Ha!

He greedily sucked in the leaking stellar force, feeling a long-lost calm.

Damn it! Which bastard caused these ominous lands!

He snarled through gritted teeth.

As an assassin, his mental fortitude was extremely strong, but having been tormented within the ominous lands, his state of mind has now reached its limit.

At this point, even Lin Lei himself had not realized he had turned into a monstrous form.

His skull: half had lost its flesh and become bone, while the other half, corroded by ancient deathly qi, had become like a rotting corpse, skin oozing pus, inside crawling with worms; his right arm was gone, his left arm riddled with holes, inside which some strange thread‑worms writhed; his upper torso likewise rotted, inhabited by a strange power; his lower body equally miserable, one leg already missing…

But he was completely unaware.

Simply because he had gone numb.

At the very end of the ominous lands, Chen Zhangsheng sat cross‑legged in a gray robe, staring at Lin Lei, he shook his head slightly, then slowly rose.

This person is considered the first to have cleared the Nine Ominous Lands in succession!

One‑star Dao Fusion Realm!

Mainly, Chen Zhangsheng never expected that a Dao Fusion Realm cultivator would actually intrude into these ominous lands.

Chen Zhangsheng walked toward Lin Lei, but his form was ethereal, and Lin Lei actually noticed nothing.

After a moment, Lin Lei continued forward, and a transformed wooden plaque appeared before him again.

This way is blocked!

Lin Lei rubbed his eyes, and his vision immediately blurred.

Damn your grandpa!

He kicked the wooden plaque with one foot, then, unable to support himself, collapsed straight to the ground as his consciousness began to blur.

He fainted outright on the ground.

It turned out that a strange miasma was drifting around him.

Chen Zhangsheng flicked his sleeve, and several puppets slowly walked toward Lin Lei.
