Chapter 387: Lion Fighting a Rabbit

With twin phoenixes holding pearls and auspicious dragons offering blessings, Lin Bai was enjoying the wonderful time of his wedding night, unaware that the tireless players had long since integrated themselves with the Celestials in the Immortal World.

Where there are players, there are no secrets.

With the players sparing no effort in their publicity, Lin Bai and his Fazhe Zhidao resounded throughout the entire Immortal World.

Wherever there were Celestials, everyone knew Lin Bai's great name.

But the more they knew, the more the Celestials looked down upon Lin Bai.

Too many players found Lin Bai an eyesore and had long since sold him out completely, including the weaknesses of his Skills, his actions in the Immortal World, and so on.

What is there to fear about a transparent enemy?

Moreover, having heard that Lin Bai primarily cultivated the Dao of Love, and with the characteristics of laws such as Love Separation, Phoenix Seeks Phoenix, and the like being made public, the Celestials felt they were his natural nemesis.

After all.

They were neither male nor female and had absolutely no idea what love was.

……

Those close to the water enjoy the moonlight first.

Having figured out Lin Bai's background, the Lightning Heavenly King arrived at Songshi City the next day and captured Long Tianxi and Nan Lingtian, who were guarding Songshi City, as well as the War God Body that Lin Bai had left in Songshi City to build a bridge for himself.

The War God Body did not last a single move under the Lightning Heavenly King.

To be precise, the moment the War God Body saw the Lightning Heavenly King, it lost the ability to act and was imprisoned within a gleaming Lightning Cage.

Flash lost its effect.

The Lightning Cage seemed to be attached to the War God Body; once he used Flash, he would take the cage with him, and with a single thought from the Lightning Heavenly King, the Lightning Cage would bring the War God Body back before him again.

The Blacksmith Six-Piece Set could not destroy the Lightning Cage created by the Lightning Heavenly King either; after all, that cage was not a Magic Tool...

Lin Bai had just woken up from his intimacy when he received this depressing news from the War God Body. A top-tier Heavenly King had actually made a move against him directly; did they not even send a subordinate to test the waters?

Were the Celestials really this lacking in martial virtue?

A single Lightning Cage had stifled all the means of the War God Body.

Of course.

It wasn't entirely trapped; the Yuelao System's Red Rope could still be used.

The first was Binding Immortal, which would tie him up directly, but if that were done, the War God Body would likely be finished; after all, Binding Immortal did not seal mana;

The second was the direct effect of the Red Rope—Marriage Alliance, but who to marry? The War God Body was using Lin Bai's split soul; if the Red Thread of Yuelao were to pass directly through the split soul and affect his own thinking, the loss would outweigh the gain. Marrying a Puppet would not affect the Lightning Heavenly King's combat power;

Magpie Bridge could also be used; after all, Magpie Bridge travels between worlds, so escaping a small Lightning Cage should be no problem.

But the problem was, from the moment the Lightning Heavenly King appeared until the War God Body was captured, Lin Bai hadn't managed to test out a single thing—what exactly were the Heavenly King's abilities?

Having finally met the Heavenly King, running away without fighting would be a loss.

The bold die of gluttony, the timid die of starvation.

At most, he would lose one War God Body; no matter what, he had to witness the means of this so-called Heavenly King. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win a hundred battles...

……

"Husband, what happened?" Xu Longyun lazily hugged Lin Bai from behind, resting her head on his shoulder, her eyes bleary with sleep.

"The Lightning Heavenly King, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Kings, arrived directly at Songshi City and took back the territory we snatched," Lin Bai said nonchalantly.

"What?" Xu Longyun instantly sobered up. "What happened in the Immortal World? Is Xingtian alright!"

"He's fine, but I have to make a trip to the Immortal World," Lin Bai turned his head to kiss Xu Longyun, then patted Jiang Qingqin's crimson face and smiled.

"We're going too," Xu Longyun gathered the loose hair by her ears and said nervously.

"No need. Right now, every Jie Yin Dian in the Immortal World is filled with Celestials, and the end of every Magpie Bridge is blocked. Your strength is insufficient; entering the Immortal World rashly is prone to danger. Just stay here. Before the matters in the Immortal World are sorted out, I will cut off the Magpie Bridge connecting every world to ensure your safety."

Lin Bai stood up, and with a thought, his clothes were already neatly on his body. He looked back at the two, who were slightly exhausted from being tossed about all night, and flicked his palm open. Thousands of Spirit Fruits and Temperament Fruits floated above his palm. "Leave these fruits for yourselves. Whether you use them to win people over or eat them yourselves, you two can dispose of them as you please. Last night, the God of Curses snuck into our world; I cannot rule out that other gods have snuck in as well. Be careful and guard against them..."

He paused for a moment.

Lin Bai then split off a Spirit Soul and said, "Go to Wanhun Valley and find a Magic Tool for the soul to inhabit. From now on, this Spirit Soul will follow by your side. That way, if you encounter danger, I will arrive at the first moment."

Looking at the Spirit Soul that was identical to Lin Bai, Xu Longyun felt a pang of heartache: "Husband, we have the divine abilities you bestowed upon us..."

Lin Bai shook his head: "There are too many people in the world who hate me. After we are married, perhaps someone will make a move against you two to threaten me, using you to set traps against me. I must guard against it."

Before.

Lin Bai possessed the Invincible Golden Body.

But after having physical intimacy with Xu Longyun and the other, he had bonds.

Lin Bai was not a cold-blooded person.

Surrounded by strong enemies, these so-called weaknesses of family affection were what Lin Bai had always wanted to avoid.

But now, since he could not escape it, he would face it head-on.

However, having cleared the Yuelao System's tasks, it was not a loss overall.

"Husband, we are dragging you down," Xu Longyun said gloomily.

Jiang Qingqin was equally low-spirited. Strength had always been her weak point. She had wanted to rely on winning Lin Bai's favor to earn the chance to stay by his side, but now that she had obtained Lin Bai, she was still unhappy and wanted to improve her strength even more.

"No, it's just that I grew too fast," Lin Bai smiled, admiring their jade-like, satin-smooth figures. He reached out and flicked Xu Longyun on the nose, saying, "There are many gods in Shenmo Dalu; I will find a way to improve your strength. It won't be long before we can fight side by side again."

"The gods of Shenmo Dalu can help us improve our strength?" Jiang Qingqin's eyes lit up, and she asked with slight excitement.

"Not them, me. I will take their abilities and make them yours to use," Lin Bai said proudly. "And the Heavenly Kings of the Immortal World—they have Law Sacred Artifacts in their hands. I must snatch those sacred artifacts. When the time comes, you can choose the ones you like. Each of you will become a Heavenly King and manage the Immortal World for me."

"Mm."

Xu Longyun and the other nodded simultaneously.

"I want one too!" The little white fox darted in from outside the window like a sharp arrow. Seeing the naked Xu Longyun and Jiang Qingqin, she subconsciously covered her eyes. "Shame, shame, shame, wearing nothing at all."

Xu Longyun and Jiang Qingqin's faces turned red instantly. The two glared fiercely at the little white fox and each found clothes to put on. Their Spiritual Sense coverage was very wide; they had long known the little fox had snuck over, but they hadn't expected the little thing to not even knock on the door and just barge in.

Seeing the two put on clothes, the little white fox's face fell again. She reached out and grabbed Lin Bai's arm, as if declaring sovereignty, and bared her teeth at the two: "Don't get cocky, you two. When I grow up, I'm going to marry Master too and sleep naked with him."

Xu Longyun looked at her, shook her head, and asked: "Husband, is there anything else you need to instruct us on?"

"In the future, my energy will mainly be focused on the Immortal World. You two manage the lower realm well and regulate the relationships between the various sects and players. If you need to open the Magpie Bridge, speak directly to my split soul." Lin Bai reached out and rubbed the little white fox's head, saying, "If possible, the three of you should find a way to seek out some believers for yourselves. In the future, to unleash the power of a godhead, you may need Faith Power."

"Understood." The three nodded simultaneously.

Lin Bai was in the lower realm giving instructions to Xu Longyun and the others regarding matters after his departure; after all, with several worlds mixed together, the trivial matters involved were too numerous.

Lin Bai relied on his powerful Mental Power to handle everything with ease, but Xu Longyun and Jiang Qingqin did not have this ability; arranging every detail could prevent some trouble.

He was in no hurry to enter the Immortal World.

Because at the same time, a portion of his Spirit was simultaneously dealing with the Thunder Heavenly King in Songshi City; his incomparably powerful Mental Power had long since tempered Lin Bai to be able to multitask.

"You may use your methods to your heart's content. If you can break through the Lightning Cage or injure me, I will let you leave."

The Thunder Heavenly King stood outside the Lightning Cage, examining the God of War body inside, his eyes full of keen interest. "A new Celestial? A new Mother Body? Control Law? Such interesting things, it's fortunate this is happening on my turf!"

The Thunder Heavenly King looked like a young man in his twenties, dressed in a black robe, his features so exquisite that not a single flaw could be seen. He stood with his hands behind his back, a lightning-shaped symbol between his brows.

Lin Bai watched him through the God of War body's Pupil of Residual Sight; there was not a single flaw on his body, natural and perfect. Even when walking or speaking, he remained flawless, just like the lightning cage he had created.

As for his cultivation, it was even more unfathomable.

Nan Lingtian and Long Tianxi huddled to the side, heads hanging low, trembling like two little quails, not even daring to look at the Thunder Heavenly King. They had not expected the Thunder Heavenly King to come to Songshi City in person.

Crazy Wind Sword Idiot and the others stood to one side, their faces full of despair. After learning that Lin Bai's disruption of the Immortal World was the main reason for attracting the Thunder Heavenly King, the loyalty they had worked so hard to raise decayed once again. The God of War body actually saw a negative value lower than that of a passerby on them.

Consequently.

Lin Bai did not hesitate for a moment, taking back the abilities he had bestowed upon them and, along the way, expelling them from the sect.

These fellows had been tortured by the Celestials for many years.

Although their cultivation remained, their Qi-Spirit-God had long been worn away. They were not worth using; using them was not as good as using players!

Lin Bai now only hoped that not all ascenders were as useless as them.

"May I see your Magic Tool?" Xingtian looked at the Thunder Heavenly King and used True Word Art without changing his expression.

"You are not worthy," the Thunder Heavenly King said. Suddenly, he paused, "Forced to change my words—this is the so-called True Word Art, then! It seems you have indeed mastered the Fazhe Zhidao! I heard you have a Red Rope that binds people; you might as well use it on me."

"The Law Sacred Artifact is with Lin Bai." The God of War body smiled and used Binding Immortal on him. He was happy to test his Skills; if he could use Absolute Suppression to hold him like he did with Long Tianxi back then, that would be best.

Long Tianxi looked at his own Heavenly King, seemingly recalling his own encounter. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately closed it again. Not to mention that he had been sealed into a Puppet, the mere fact of his betrayal meant the Heavenly King would not spare him. Only if Lin Bai defeated the Thunder Heavenly King would he have any hope of survival.

The golden belt at the Thunder Heavenly King's waist suddenly flew out, winding toward his arm.

Rear Binding.

The belt hung the Thunder Heavenly King up, but only for a moment before the Thunder Heavenly King easily snapped the belt. He shook his head and said disappointedly, "Too weak."

"Heavenly King, the Law Sacred Artifact is not with me; ordinary ropes naturally cannot trap you," the God of War body laughed.

The Thunder Heavenly King was forced to smile.

First the True Word Art, then "You Smile When You See Me"—both had taken effect on the Thunder Heavenly King. Lin Bai felt settled.

It seems.

The Skills rewarded by the system truly involved Law Power; even a Heavenly King who had mastered the true Law could not be exempt.

Although the Thunder Heavenly King was forced to smile, his face showed undisguised disappointment: "Nothing but petty tricks. If Lin Bai's so-called Control Dao or Law of Love is just this, then this game is meaningless. With just this bit of skill, let alone the Tenth Heavenly King, you couldn't even beat an ordinary Star Brilliance Realm."

The God of War body asked: "Heavenly King, I have one more move, Absolute Suppression. I wonder if the Heavenly King dares to try it?"

"You may." The Thunder Heavenly King's eyes were full of mischievous amusement.

"The premise is that you must let me out of this Lightning Cage," the God of War body shrugged and said.

Snap!

The Thunder Heavenly King snapped his fingers.

The Lightning Cage disappeared.

Then.

He looked at the God of War body, stretched out his hand unscrupulously, his gaze full of Provocation: "Come."

It seems this guy really isn't afraid!

The God of War body reached out, pressed his hand on his arm, and activated Absolute Suppression.

The next second, a stinging sensation came from his palm. Electric sparks coiled around the God of War body, and he was sent flying. By the time he stood up, the Lightning Cage had fallen onto him again.

Didn't catch him! Although it was within expectations, Lin Bai still sighed inwardly.

The Thunder Heavenly King looked at the God of War body, sighed, and said: "Your Absolute Suppression is okay; it actually triggered the Thunder Hammer's automatic protection. But it's still too weak. It can only be cast at close range; what Heavenly King would let you get close? Lin Bai subdued Long Tianxi, who is at most Star Diamond Realm. Encountering a Heavenly King, let alone getting close, he would be killed in the blink of an eye."

A Law Sacred Artifact is a waste in your hands.

The only Skill you have that is useful to me is the Magpie Bridge.

You can contact Lin Bai, right? Go tell him to submit to me! I want to use his Magpie Bridge to go see other worlds; this world is too boring. If he serves me to my satisfaction, I can conquer another world for him and crown him a King to sit on. If he refuses, I will kill you first, then kill him."

Under the True Word Art.

Lin Bai knew he was telling the truth, but this guy's tone was too arrogant. What did he mean by "serving him to his satisfaction"?

Who does he think he is!

However.

Conquer other worlds?

The God of War body smiled slightly: "Lord Heavenly King, if you only want to go see other worlds, there is no need for Lin Bai; I can do it myself..."
