Kind of Monster is This!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, Lin Bai felt the vital energy and spirit within his body nearly drained, leaving him with a sense of powerless weakness that sent shivers down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of monster is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster roared in pain, then turned and rushed towards the abandoned building at a lightning-fast speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are you going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the monster rush into the building, Lin Bai immediately gave chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess also followed swiftly after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This creature was exceptionally strange and didn’t seem to be a demonic beast from the Martial World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for its origin, further investigation was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Bai had first discovered this manor, he had inspected every corner without finding anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where could this monster have come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature charged out of the manor and suddenly vanished into a rock wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai and the First Princess arrived in front of the rock wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess asked, “Where did it go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai said, “I saw it enter this rock wall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It entered the wall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could there be a magic circle here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess immediately picked up a rock from the ground and fiercely threw it at the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rock hit the rock wall and directly disappeared into it as if it had passed into another dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess said, “Someone has set up an extremely profound concealment magic circle here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems they didn’t think anyone would discover this place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai walked over and stared at the giant rock wall, which was about a hundred meters high and seven hundred meters wide, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wait here, I’ll go in and take a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess replied, “Don’t go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster is not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for your successful surprise attack just now, we might not have been able to repel it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai casually responded, “No worries, I want to see what’s the creature’s origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s too strange, definitely not a demonic beast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t move around here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I find any danger, I will naturally come back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll go with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s better to have an extra person to back you up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t allow me to go, don’t even think about going yourself.” the First Princess said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai initially wanted to leave the First Princess behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had no idea what was inside the rock wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing what the First Princess said, Lin Bai could only agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything happens, leave immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai, holding the First Princess’s hand, gingerly touched the rock wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qingge Sword was the first to be stabbed into the rock wall by Lin Bai, and he slowly proceeded inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the rock wall was a vast passageway, filled with skeletal remains and treasure swords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai and the First Princess arrived and were shocked by what they saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were stunned by the sheer number of bones within the endless passageway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Bai was lost in thought, the First Princess spoke, “The way they died, their faces all facing in one direction, as if they were resisting something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai lowered his head to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the bones were strewn haphazardly on the ground, from the scattered remains it was clear they had been resisting something rushing at them from deeper within the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess picked up a treasure sword from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite rust marring its surface, one could faintly see the word “Desolate” carved on the sword’s hilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Desolate Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess said, her face turning to shock as she recognized the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Lin Bai walked over and asked, “Xiaoxiao, what did you find?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess said gravely, “This is a sword from Desolate Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai was taken aback, “How come I’ve never heard of this sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it, because this sect disappeared overnight a thousand years ago, and all of its hundred thousand disciples vanished along with it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A thousand years ago, the Desolate Sect was the most powerful sect within Dayue Kingdom, and it was a superpower on par with the Famous Sword Manor even among the 700 states of Lingdong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no one ever expected it to vanish overnight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The founding sect leader of the Shengyue Sect, currently the first sect of Dayue Kingdom, was in fact a core martial artist of the Desolate Sect a thousand years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, during the great catastrophe of the Desolate Sect, he was traveling outside and was not within the sect,” the First Princess clarified the origin of the Desolate Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai hadn’t expected that the founding Ancestral Master of the Shengyue Sect would turn out to be a core martial artist of the Desolate Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can such a powerful sect vanish overnight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it related to the monster we just encountered?” Lin Bai asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess chuckled, “Lin Bai, let’s not worry about that monster for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since this place is filled with the dead disciples of the Desolate Sect, we might find that thing here as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai curiously asked, “What thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess’s eyes flashed with excitement, “The Great Desolation Skill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Great Desolation Skill, a sacred text passed down through the Desolate Sect, can steal the earth’s spiritual essence from all the mountains, rivers, forests, and stones within tens of thousands of miles in a flash, allowing the warrior to dramatically boost their combat prowess by several ranks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once, the Desolate Sect had an unshakable position within the Lingdong 700 states, all thanks to this sacred text.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s search carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe we can find the sacred text of the Great Desolation Skill among these storage bags.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess picked up a storage bag from the bones on the ground, quickly opened it, and then put it down to pick up another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s actually a sacred text in this world that can forcibly boost one’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is indeed intriguing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai’s eyes were filled with excitement as he joined the First Princess in combing through the passageway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They went step by step, picking up hundreds of storage bags scattered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every time Lin Bai opened a storage bag, a foul odor would emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a thousand years had passed, and the items within the storage bags were mostly rotten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very few things remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Bai did find some precious items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, he found three texts of Heaven Level First Grade martial skills, along with several precious ores that hadn’t decayed for a thousand years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai and the First Princess gradually made their way deeper into the passageway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Bai suddenly hindered the First Princess while his eyes were fixed on the darkness ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess’s face also turned solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out her battle sword from her storage bag and slowly walked forward, taking out several Night Illuminating Pearls from her bag and throwing them into the surrounding darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They illuminated the passageway in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that Lin Bai and the First Princess could see that there was a mountain cave of ten thousand meters in size ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside this mountain cave, on the ground, there was another black hole of a thousand meters in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, an endless terrifying black mist was gushing out from the black hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the First Princess stepped into the cave, she shuddered and said, “Lin Bai, this place is really terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the First Princess glanced at an area before the black hole and saw a purple token hanging on a set of white bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple token was marked with the words, “Desolate Sect Order.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Princess excitedly declared, “That’s the leader’s token of the Desolate Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai, that set of white bones should belong to the Sect Leader of the Desolate Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must have the Great Desolation Skill in his storage bag.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai nodded and said, “You wait here, I’ll go get it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, be careful,” the First Princess reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai solemnly nodded and slowly approached the dark hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the edge of the hole, Lin Bai looked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The endless black mist was rolling inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if it was leading to the Nine Nether demonic realm, emitting a gloomy and terrifying aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Lin Bai looked at the thousand-meter hole,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hiss, clucking–”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beneath the thousand-meter hole, there came a series of eerie howls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterwards, numerous monsters emerged from the hole, led by the very monster whose arm Lin Bai had chopped off earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the monster had fled to summon reinforcements!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were thousands of monsters flying out from the thousand-meter hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And each of them possessed strength beyond the Human Elixir Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a thousand monsters with power above the Human Elixir Realm would be enough to sweep the entire Dayue Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Lin Bai resist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Bai flashed before shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he quickly swept up a dozen storage bags from the bones by the side of the leader of the Desolate Sect, he turned around and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1579,"2026-05-29T14:40:14.625Z","2026-06-01T04:29:32.613Z",1,"novelbin.me","4609b500ff3abd63dd7690ee3b3a8bebeb1cb644e59d7b7d982962df76e23cf7","the-unparalleled-sword-emperor-chapter-684","the-unparalleled-sword-emperor-chapter-682",2737,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-unparalleled-sword-emperor-cover.jpg"]
