Episode 19 – Metamorphosis Chapter 4 – Lord Bare Rock

Flame and Bone Collar. In a private room upstairs in a restaurant in the city grounds.

“Alright. You don’t have to come in until you’re called.” Linley instructed.

“Yes. Sir.”

The waiter left the private room with the food trays, closing the door to the room with his hand.

“Boss. Quickly take out all that information, the floating shadows.” Bebe even urged, this information had arrived and Linley and the others hadn’t looked at it seriously, in fact, there was no suitable place to look at it, they couldn’t look at it on the streets, “Don’t be in a hurry.” Linley smiled and moved his mind. The large box then floated directly to the ground beside the table.

Linley moved the two or three small dishes and drinks on the table to one side. Then he moved that thick stack of information onto the table.

“Much better.” Bebe said before reaching for this information.

“Grab it. Bebe, you and I will split it in half. Go through all of this information roughly and see which of the Nine Specters Lords. Suitable as our target.” Linley said, and with that, Linley began to read the pile of information, Linley first then read the section that introduced the rules about challenging lords.

To challenge a lord. It was important to know the rules.

As he was reading, Bebe suddenly looked towards Linley. Inquiring, he said, “Boss. You’re going to challenge. Or should I go?”

Linley looked up at Bebe. He couldn’t help but laugh, “Bebe, this is to challenge the Lord of the Nine Specters, not just anyone can challenge it, the prerequisite is to be able to obtain a ‘hundred victories’ in the territory where he’s located, and every day you must fight ten consecutive battles, Beibei …… can you easily win ten straight battles? Ten games in a row?”

“Of course I have, once my natural aptitude ‘Devouring God’ comes out. I don’t believe they can block it.” Bebe confidently said.

“Aside from this innate divine ability?” Linley pursued with a smile.

Bebe choked.

If he didn’t have the innate divine ability ‘God Devourer’. He, Bei Bei, was only strong in defense. But in terms of attack, he was only relying on a Godhead weapon, and relying on a Godhead weapon would be able to defeat an average Upper Deity. However, if you dare to go to the Blood Battle Stage, you won’t be weak, otherwise you’re just going to die, and Bei Bei wants to win. It was indeed difficult.

“I, I have a natural aptitude, boss your assumptions don’t exist.” Bebe retorted.

Linley’s smile tightened. Solemnly, he said, “Bebe, if you have a hundred consecutive battles on this Blood Battle Stage. You rely on your natural aptitude for all of them, firstly, your soul power can only be cast twice. For the rest of the battles, you’ll need to rely on amethyst crystals and soul gold beads to replenish your soul power, and it’ll be very strenuous. Second!”

Bebe’s eyebrows lifted.

Linley continued, “This second. We’re going to challenge the Nine Specters Lords this time, so it’s best. Don’t reveal all your cards beforehand, Bebe you think. When you were fighting on the Blood Battle Stage. Then you will reveal your natural aptitude, then …… that Nine Specters Lord will definitely know your bottom card, and will definitely study ways to deal with you at that time!”

“Ways to deal with me?” Bei Bei was stunned, “What method can he have?”

“Strike first and kill you.” Linley said with a faint smile.

“I’m not afraid.” Bebe said.

“If he’s not sure he can kill you, perhaps this Lord of the Nine Sephiroths sneaks away from his own Ma Yu, and then just openly says to the public that the Lord is out on an important errand. Let you wait for a thousand or ten thousand years. Can you afford to wait?” Linley asked rhetorically. “I can tell that the challenge …… can be delayed by up to ten thousand years of land.” Linley had also just read the rules.

Bebe couldn’t help but be speechless.

Indeed, challenging the Nine Specters Lords. It wasn’t as if one could fight immediately after challenging.

If this Lord of the Nine Sephiroths wasn’t in the Underworld at all, you would have to wait for the other party to get the news and rush back before fighting even if you challenged …… them.

“Bebe. The last thing we can afford to waste right now is time!” Linley said solemnly.

“Oh.” Bebe said helplessly.

As Bebe stepped in, Linley was most worried about – that Nine Specters Lord, seeing Bebe cast his innate divine ability ‘God Devourer’, was too frightened to answer the battle. Sneaking away. This was actually a very normal thing, because if one went into battle knowing that they didn’t have the slightest bit of confidence. That would be sending death.

But admitting defeat directly was humiliating.

Therefore, many Nine Sepulchre Lords chose one method – sneaking away. Stalling until the ten thousand year period expired.

If you haven’t responded to the battle within 10,000 years, then the position of Lord of the Nine Sepulchre will be transferred directly to that challenger. Would then be directly transferred to that challenger.

This would both allow the challenger to obtain the Lord’s position. It would also allow the original Nine Spectres Lord to retain a bit of face, so in theory it was the best of both worlds. But to Linley. He had to hurry up and join in the dimensional war, but the dimensional war also only had eight hundred years left, so he couldn’t delay!

“En.” Bebe nodded slightly.

“Bebe, it’s perfectly fine for me to go out and hide my strength, for example, I don’t dragonize and don’t display my natural aptitude. Of course it’s also necessary to show slightly – Black Stone Space! It’s the Black Stone Space. That gravitational force I also diminish the power. Against those five-star demons. Six star demons. Even seven star demons. It’s all sufficient.” Linley said with a faint smile.

Reducing the power of the black stone space. It was the same as when he was still a Medium God. The power was comparable.

When Linley had utilized the Blackstone Space at full power, even an ordinary seven-star demon could only barely resist it if they put their lives on the line. They could only barely resist, but they were reduced to the point where they were almost slaughtered.

If only 10% of the power of the ‘Black Stone Space’ was utilized. For Linley. It was already enough.

“I’ll show a little. It’s enough to win a hundred victories. I believe that that Nine Specters Lord will not be afraid to respond to the battle just because he sees this amount of strength in me, when the time comes to wait for the battle. Then I’ll show my full strength… Bei Bei, now you look carefully at the information and see who among them has a stance that I just happen to be able to restrain.” Linley said.

Bebe also laughed: “Heh heh. Boss, you’re trying to be a bit shady. En, I’ll check it out. Who’s strength is restrained by you.”

Linley also began to carefully read through the information.

There were 81 Nine Specter Lords, and it was impossible for all of them to be so perfect that they had no weaknesses and were unrivaled. Perhaps there was someone among them. Just enough to be restrained by Linley.

“So strong.” Linley read the information. He couldn’t help but suck in a breath of astonishment, “I’ve just arrived at the first stop in the Nine Specters Domain, the ‘Lotus Rock Territory’, and it’s surprising that no one’s been able to shake him in these billions of years. The masterstroke is to cast a transparent flame? Those who are hit will die?” Linley’s heart chilled as he looked at this information.

The strongest person who dared to challenge that lord also had the backbone to have a masterstroke.

But there was no doubt. They were all killed by a transparent flame.

“Boss. This Flame Bone Lord. It’s so powerful. Three people have challenged him in these 100 million years, and they were all killed by him in one move.” Bebe also exclaimed in shock.

“Bebe. No one has been able to shake his position in this kind of countless years. And the challengers. Were also easily killed by the ground. These extraordinarily strong Nine Specter Lords. Temporarily excluded.” Linley even said that he had no confidence in those Nine Sephirotic Lords who hadn’t shown much strength at all and whose positions had never been shaken.

Reading through this large pile of information, Linley felt his blood boiling.

A large number of powerful people had challenged him time and time again. Time and time again they had fallen, but there were countless strong people in the Underworld who pursued the pinnacle. In their hearts. In their hearts, becoming a Prefect or a Lord of the Nine Underworlds was their dream. It is their dream, and for the sake of their dream. These people are not afraid to sacrifice their lives.

Occasionally, there were those who won and became the new Lords of the Nine Specters!

“Among the Lords of the Nine Secrets. There are indeed a few strong perverts, but there are some that aren’t too terrifying.” Linley read the introductions of some of the Nine Sephiroth Lords and breathed a small sigh of relief.Among the 81 Nine Sephiroth Lords, there were indeed some who were similar to Beirut, Beirut, and Beirut. There were indeed invincible figures like Beirut and Dennington.

As a result, no one dared to challenge them!

“En. This is good.” Linley’s eyes lit up. Immediately, he carefully read through this piece of information, “Oh, a water-based powerhouse with extremely strong soul defense. After exerting divine power, it’s surprising that this matter defense can also reach the level of near invincibility. And the matter attacks are extremely strong!” Linley looked at this person’s strength profile in detail and explained that he was still somewhat certain in his heart.

Choosing an opponent!

For the kind of Nine Specters Lords who were famous for their soul attacks, Linley directly skipped over them. In terms of material attacks, Linley still had some confidence, and at the moment, the Nine Spectres Lord he had his eye on. Material defense was a defense formed by the operation of ‘divine power’. The source of …… defense was strong and perverse.

“If I cast my innate divine ability ‘Dragon’s Breath’ and change the flow of time around him. The time flow rate is changed. His control of divine power to form a material defense will definitely not be perfect anymore. Especially coupled with the powerful gravitational effects of my ‘Blackstone Space’.” Linley couldn’t help but smile, and hurriedly began to carefully read the other detailed messages of this material ground.

However, his expression instantly froze as he saw a line on the second page, “What. Went to the dimensional battlefield?”

“Next.” Linley could only helplessly pick the next one.

Nay ……

81 Most of the Nine Hells Lords were good at soul attacks. Even if they weren’t good at it, soul defense was generally strong. Linley’s soul defense was actually still very strong as well, the soul power of the Upper Divine Lands. Combined with the three great law arcana. Combined with the gift of glare, plus having an exclusionary soul defense main divine artifact. It has already surpassed the average seven-star demon.

But after all, the opponent was a Nine Specters Lord, a true peak powerhouse.

“Boss, I have one here.” Bebe suddenly cheered.

Linley looked up then even asked, “Where is it now? It wouldn’t have gone to the dimensional battlefield.”

“Nope. It’s described on this intelligence. It’s still in the territory.” Bebe even said.

“Tell me about it.” Linley’s eyes lit up.

“This person is just like you, boss. Also an earth system powerhouse.” Bebe laughed.

“Oh?” Linley’s eyes lit up. Linley was actually still the most happy to face an earth system earth. This was because he himself had studied the earth laws the most thoroughly. It would also be easier to deal with.

Bebe continued, “This person’s soul defense is extremely strong. There are records of battles in which he didn’t feel a thing when he was attacked by a soul, and his soul defense is extremely perverse! However, he’s not good at soul attacks, and he’s never been seen to have a powerful soul attack… This intelligence speculates that this person most likely has a Soul Defense Master God Artifact.”

Linley nodded slightly.

Earth law. Although there was the ‘Earth Pulse’. It could involve the soul aspect, but it wasn’t too strong after all.

Strong in terms of the soul. It was the Rule of Life, the Rule of Death, the Rule of Fate, and the Elemental Law of Fire.

“His strongest, is material attacks, and he can easily shatter an upper divine artifact with a single punch! His fists and that battle sword of his, the attack power is terrifying, and …… he is particularly good at speed. Speed strong perversion! The people who challenged him several times. Before they even touched him. They were smashed away by a punch. Conceded defeat.” Bebe explained.

Linley grinned.

Speed? Material attacks strong?

Even faster. In his own ground’s full power ‘black stone space’, how much faster could a dad be?

Material attacks?

After one’s dragonization, one casts ‘Circular Air Split’ through the divine sword ‘Staying Shadow’. The power of this sword was estimated to be not much weaker than the other party.

“There’s also the innate divine ability ‘Dragon’s Chant’.” Linley smiled.

“Boss, I’ve read through this pile of information once. I feel that this one Nine Specters Lord. Is just the right place to be restrained by you, you should have more than 80% certainty, it’s just that I don’t know …… whether this Nine Specters Lord. There is no hiding.” Bebe said helplessly.

Hidden clumsiness?

Earth system earth. Even if you know about soul attacks, it’s not possible to be as terrifying as the Death Rule and Fire System powerhouses. After all, the Rule of Death. Most of them involved the soul. Fate rules, even more so, were almost all related to the soul.

“Speaking of hiding one’s clumsiness. Anyone can hide their clumsiness, but since it’s an Earth System Earth, I still have some certainty.”

“Show me.” Linley even took this piece of information from Bebe.

Starting to look at the information carefully, watching the Nine Specters Lord’s previous battles in the information, Linley relaxed slightly. This Nine Sephiroth Lord’s most special features were ‘speed’ and material attacks, and when the two were combined, they were practically invincible. Nay …… he just happened to be restrained by Linley.

Perhaps. This Nine Specters Lord. Against those superpowers who specialized in the soul. Can easily win. But when it came to Linley ……

“The Red Rock Lord?”

Linley nodded slightly, “That’s him!”
