Chapter 390: Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap

After witnessing the power of the Lightning Heavenly King, Lin Bai decisively sealed the God of Curses into a card; for one, it was convenient to carry, and for another, as long as it couldn't be killed, it could be infinitely restored.

Barring any accidents, the God of Curses would be his trump card in the Immortal World.

By sealing the God of Curses along with its divinity, Lin Bai unexpectedly discovered a new way to use cards, gaining ten cards of each variety.

Lin Bai was disguised as a player, and to make his disguise more convincing, he also sealed Long Tianxi and Nan Lingtian into cards.

Consequently, his cultivation plummeted, matching that of Qingyun—the Bronze Realm.

The Bronze Realm was still far beyond the cultivation of most players, but at least it was less conspicuous.

Upon entering the Immortal World, Lin Bai was detained by the Celestials guarding the Jie Yin Dian; it wasn't just him, all players who entered the Immortal World via the Magpie Bridge were detained.

A Platinum Realm Celestial scanned all the incoming players with a cold gaze.

Several players stood beside him, and one player named 【Fool】 said: "General Meng, they are all players; there is no Lin Bai, nor are there any high-level members of the Justice Alliance."

"Who is the guardian of the Magpie Bridge?" the Celestial surnamed Meng asked.

"I am," a player named 【Faith of Light】 raised his hand.

"Send those few into the Mortal World," the Celestial surnamed Meng pointed at the squad nearby and ordered.

"Understood," 【Faith of Light】 agreed very readily, but when he turned back, the Magpie Bridge beneath his feet had already vanished; he froze in embarrassment for a moment, shrugged, and said, "I can't send them down anymore."

The Platinum Realm expert frowned slightly, scanned the batch of players before him again, and said: "Everyone go over and register. Explain your name, cultivation, the sect you belong to in the Mortal World, your position, and other information to the scribe. When being questioned, do whatever the scribe tells you to do. After registration is complete, the scribe will issue you a nameplate; only by holding a nameplate can you move freely in the Immortal World..."

The efficiency is truly fast.

In just over a day, they have already added entry inspections.

Hiding in the crowd, Lin Bai watched everything happening before him in silence, preparing to also get himself a nameplate to facilitate his actions.

But soon, he realized that the low-profile method would not work.

After registering all the information, the Celestial responsible for recording actually asked the players to smile...

Damn it!

Lin Bai had black lines on his head; he never expected that the useless trash Skill "Smile When I See You" would one day become a method to identify him.

The Disguise Glasses could not be exposed, so this method must be used to identify him for having performed Soul Possession on players.

Issuing nameplates to players entering the Immortal World and using his negative Skill to check every player—with this combination of moves, it was basically impossible for him to sneak into the Immortal World to stir up trouble while keeping a low profile.

Damn players!

Is this meant to exclude him and the Justice Alliance from the Immortal World, or to force him into a direct confrontation with the Celestials?

Lin Bai sighed, waved his hand to release Long Tianxi and Nan Lingtian, and used Flash to arrive beside the Celestial surnamed Meng, who had the highest cultivation.

Before the Celestial surnamed Meng could react, he was restrained by Absolute Suppression.

Meanwhile, Long Tianxi and Nan Lingtian had already wiped out the other Celestials at the Reception Pool and their lackey players with overwhelming force.

Lin Bai did not linger; he grabbed his captive and flashed toward the outside of the Reception Pool.

The Reception Pool area was narrow and obstructed vision, which was disadvantageous for combat.

But just as he flew out.

Dense thunder descended from the sky, crashing down upon him.

These lightning bolts were golden, even denser than the Heavenly Tribulation from back then, and they carried the power to seal space.

Long Tianxi and Nan Lingtian were struck by the lightning.

Nan Lingtian was reduced to ashes on the spot, and Long Tianxi fell to the ground, severely injured.

Caught off guard, Lin Bai endured the agony of the lightning tribulation devouring his body...

Yet the lightning that had severely injured Long Tianxi only destroyed his clothes when it landed on Lin Bai, turned his hair into an afro, and merely tore his skin upon impact; although it looked bloody, given Lin Bai's current Physique, it was just a superficial wound.

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what had happened: it was because he was holding that Celestial surnamed Meng as an ingredient.

The Chef God System's Skill—Cooking Sacred and Inviolable—increased his own defense by thirty times; he shared Long Tianxi's strength, the War God System's Physique was doubled, his body strength was doubled, and on top of that, it was increased by another thirty times, so the lightning that could severely injure Long Tianxi did not cause him greater damage.

Sure enough, there is no such thing as a useless Skill.

"Yo, quite resistant to a beating!"

"The Heavenly King was right; as long as he leaves, Lin Bai will definitely appear from Songshi City again."

"The Heavenly King's foresight is divine; handling a mere mortal is as easy as pie."

Ding!

The Extreme Counter-Kill System, which had been quiet for a long time, popped up a new mission:

【Detected that the host is in extreme danger; break through the current predicament; Reward: Critical Hit (the attack moves you use have a chance to deal a hundredfold damage)】

Lin Bai unleashed Three Heads and Six Arms, and the surrounding scene was reflected in his eyes.

There were four Celestials surrounding him in the center.

Their faces wore playful expressions, and they looked at Lin Bai as if they were looking at a rat trapped in a cage.

Of the four Celestials, one held a Sword, one held a hammer, one held a blade, and another had five or six flying wheels circling around them.

Lin Bai could not see through their realm.

But since they were sent by the Lightning Heavenly King to deal with him and could put him in danger in a single move, triggering the Extreme Counter-Kill System mission, they should indeed be of the Star Brilliance Realm.

With four prepared Star Brilliance experts and his shared Long Tianxi critically injured and dying, Lin Bai had intended to use the Magpie Bridge to retreat to the Mortal World and find another way to come back up.

After all.

The players sent up earlier included his fans, and they were already scattered across the Immortal World; it shouldn't be difficult to find a couple among them to build a Magpie Bridge...

But the suddenly popped-up Extreme Counter-Kill System made Lin Bai decide to risk a battle; after all, the reward of a hundredfold critical damage was too tempting.

All along, what he lacked were powerful means of attack!

As for the chance of a critical hit mentioned in the reward, with his super-high Qi Luck Value, this probability was one hundred percent, and since the Heavenly King of the Immortal World didn't play by the rules and attacked him directly, he indeed needed to raise his own strength.

The Heavenly Demon Heart appeared in Lin Bai's palm.

The eerie and evil Heavenly Demon Heart immediately attracted the gazes of the four in the Star Brilliance Realm.

Lin Bai seized the opportunity to Flash to Long Tianxi's side, reached out to grab him, took out a kitchen knife with one hand, and began to process him like an ingredient.

He was able to remain unharmed amidst the thunder entirely by sharing Long Tianxi's strength, so even if he were heavily injured, Lin Bai could not return him to the card.

Of course.

Nor could he allow the few people in the Star Brilliance Realm to kill him.

Characters from Golden Cards and Silver Cards can be reused; it is fine for them to be heavily injured or even have a Flaw, but they cannot be completely finished off, otherwise, the card will vanish along with them.

Cards cannot bring the dead back to life.

I have to say, Three Heads and Six Arms is indeed very convenient.

Dazzled and mesmerized, the gazes of the four in the Star Brilliance Realm were drawn to Lin Bai, who was gesturing at Long Tianxi with a kitchen knife, and they all revealed looks of astonishment.

"What is he doing?"

"Players say that Lin Bai cultivates the Way of Cooking and the dishes he makes are exceptionally delicious, but surely he wouldn't use his own people as ingredients in the middle of a battle?"

"There is something strange going on!"

Having controlled Long Tianxi.

Lin Bai felt settled in his heart; the heads produced by Three Heads and Six Arms instantly detached from his body, and he used Three Heads and Six Arms again to sprout more heads.

In an instant.

More than ten heads had appeared around him.

The four in the Star Brilliance Realm still hadn't figured out why Lin Bai had sprouted so many heads.

"Get lost!"

The dozen or so heads suddenly opened their mouths and let out a thunderous roar.

Decibel Multiplier.

Surround sound version.

With powerful enemies before him and not a single one of his own people around, Lin Bai did not hold back at all and shouted at the maximum decibel value he could produce.
