Episode 21: The Peak Chapter 22: The Undercard
Linley had obtained that Four Divine Beasts Essence Blood, and although he hadn’t researched the Four Old Ancestors’ joint talent stance, he had used a portion of the Green Dragon’s Essence Blood to strengthen his body once more. Linley discovered …… that his body was clearly too strong, and even after using the Green Dragon Essence Blood, after using part of it, even after using it again, the strength of his body was in no way improving.
The body was no weaker than the strength of a main divine artifact, and the sharp end of the dragon’s tail had even surpassed it.
This stab that contained the laws of the earth, the Main Divine Artifact would definitely not be able to block it.
“Oops.” Augusta’s face changed, his supreme divine artifact desiring to resist Linley’s supreme divine artifact, and in this instant, his only reaction was —-
fling his arm!
Augusta’s arm was as soft as a long whip at the moment, and this flinging of his arm was a simple movement.
It was as if it were a whip.
“Whoosh!” Drawing up, extremely fast, Augusta’s palm unexpectedly slapped hard against the side of the tip of Linley’s dragon tail at the last moment. However, under Linley’s control, the tip of the dragon’s tail turned and stabbed into Augusta’s palm!
“Pfft!”
A white armor film emerged from the palm of his hand’s palm, clearly a defensive material master artifact. However, under the full force of Linley’s dragon tail, only blood could be seen seeping through as the sharp tip of the dragon tail pierced through his palm.
“Whew!” With a phantom movement of his body, Augusta’s entire body fluttered and dodged dozens of miles away.
“This palm of his?” Linley was astonished. “This Augusta’s physical strength. Surprisingly strong to this extent as well?”
After the dragon’s tail pierced through that defensive matter Master God artifact. Linley had originally planned to directly pierce its palm. Immediately following that, he would pierce Augusta’s skull. But who would have thought …… that Augusta’s palm itself had an extremely strong defense. After Linley had successively broken through the defensive matter main divine artifact and the palm of the hand. The impact force of the tip of the dragon’s tail had already been exhausted.
“Augusta. I know you’re powerful in terms of the soul. But in terms of the body. Surprisingly, you are also this powerful. Admirable.” Linley’s voice echoed in Augusta’s mind. Linley himself, however, did not hesitate. Immediately afterward, he chased after him.
“Linley. You and I should just stop like this.” Augusta fled ahead at great speed.
Augusta’s strength was on full display. His speed was obviously much faster than at first.
Linley couldn’t even catch up for a moment.
“I’m in dragonization. I can’t even catch up to him.” Linley was startled in his heart.
Augusta’s true strength was about ten times stronger than what Linley had expected at first.
This resulted in the fact that Augusta and Linley were comparable.
Even in Linley’s dragonized situation, but this Augusta cultivated the Laws of Light and was also good at speed. Desperately fleeing, Linley simply couldn’t catch up for a time.
“Incorrect.” Linley’s powerful divine sense clearly recognized the speeds of himself and Augusta. At the moment, the distance between himself and Augusta was shrinking by a slight margin, “Although my speed is close to his, it’s not exactly the same, but …… slightly faster than him by a sliver.”
This hint of speed, very small. If one didn’t observe carefully one simply couldn’t find it.
But Linley and Augusta had a limited distance, and as the distance between them continued to shrink, there would come a moment when they could completely catch up.
“Linley, why do you have to split life and death with me?” Augusta transmitted a continuous voice, “I did kill the Four Divine Beasts. But those four divine beasts and you don’t know how many generations apart they are. I guess you’ve never seen those four before, and you don’t have any feelings, so why are you suffering? And I have a grudge against Beirut. That’s Beirut who took my four main god frames, he’s the one who messed with me! And now I’ve promised to forget my grudge against Beirut. What do you say? All of this is forgotten, what other demands do you have, let’s all be somewhat sincere and talk about it.”
Linley, however, laughed coldly.
“Just now, you wanted to kill me. But after I was dragonized, you realized that you couldn’t kill me and you want to negotiate with me again?” Linley simply ignored it.
“Linley, do you really want to fight on?” Augusta was a little annoyed, “Big deal, I’ll charge to hell and destroy your Four Divine Beasts family! I think that right now, I’m rushing to hell and destroying that Four Divine Beasts clan. There’s still enough time.”
The two were only tens of miles away though. It was very close for a Lord God.
But the difference in speed between the two was too small, even if it was tens of miles. It would also take several minutes to be able to.
“The Four Divine Beasts family? Augusta, in hell, there is a Destruction Lord present. I believe you also know that the Lord of Destruction has a special relationship with me and Beirut, and back then, he borrowed the Four Divine Beasts Essence Blood from us. Moreover, he also borrowed my Four Divine Beasts family personnel. As long as I divinely transmit my voice to him, I believe that, for sure, he will block you.” Linley transmitted his voice.
Augusta was going crazy from being chased by Linley.
He saw the distance between Linley and him shrinking, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Linley, you’re not much stronger than me. The only advantage is that your dragonized body is all comparable to a master divine artifact, and can all just be cast as such. If I were to fight for my life, it’s not certain who would live and who would die, you or I.” Augusta transmitted, “You’re willing to put up such a fight?”
After the brief exchange of blows just now, Linley also knew.
He was not much stronger than the other party, and it was indeed hard to say who would live and who would die in a life and death situation. But in terms of chances of survival, he himself should hold 80%, and Augusta only had 20%.
“I’m willing to fight!” Linley said indifferently.
“Fine, you madman!” Augusta’s face grimaced as well, “Then don’t blame me.”
With that, Augusta shifted direction and continued to flee at breakneck speed.
“En?” Linley’s face changed.
The direction that this Augusta had fled in was towards the past of the Heavenly Realm, although the distance between the two of them was already only ten full miles. But the time taken for this distance was enough for Augusta to reach the Heavenly Realm.
This Augusta purposely ran in the direction of the Heavenly Realm, Linley couldn’t help but suspect.
“Legend has it that that Dark God realm, is the side of hell. And this Light God realm, it’s also the heavenly realm side. Could it be that this Augusta is going to beg the Lord of Fate for help?” Linley couldn’t help but guess so, it was only natural for lords and masters to have friendships.
“What, go to the Fate Sovereign?” Linley transmitted.
Augusta flew away while still threatening, “Yes, it’s to find Lord Aoife! Lord Aoife owes me a favor, even though he’s uncontested with the world. But I’ll use this favor to make him strike you down. It’s still no problem. This bottom card …… I have been unable to use. But you shouldn’t force me either.”
Linley hesitated.
“What this Augusta said, is it true or false?” Linley said darkly.
But if it was true, with the strength of the Destiny Sovereign Earth. There was absolutely no variation in killing himself. One would have no ability to resist.
“Owe a favor? How would Lord Aoife he owe you a favor?” Linley snorted.
“Linley. Don’t you dare not believe it yet. The news that Lord Aoife owes me a favor, you can absolutely ask the Destruction Lord and the others, they all know about it! Just ask and you’ll know if I’m lying.” Why would Augusta be willing, to expend his bottom card just like that.
The Destruction Lord easily didn’t ask for favors.
He begged for favors, and this one favor could be a life preserver.
This favor would be gone if he used it up. Not until the moment of life and death. How would he be willing to use it?
Linley thought quickly for a moment, then laughed coldly, ”Oh, Lord Aoife owes you a favor? Fine, for the sake of Lord Aoife, this matter will be settled. But I’m warning you, don’t mess with the people of my Four Divine Beasts family land in the future, or else …… I’ll fight to the death and kill you as well.”
After Linley finished speaking, he flew off in the direction of hell.
“Whew.” Only then did Augusta let out a long sigh of relief.
Looking away from the figure flying towards hell, Augusta couldn’t help but let out a low curse, “How did this Linley become so strong all of a sudden? Fortunately. His speed isn’t even close to mine. To deal with this Linley, unless, I can cultivate to the Great Perfection realm. Or. Use the second method.”
The second way, naturally, was for Aoife to resolve Linley.
“But this Linley, there’s no need to be afraid of him.” Augusta looked away into the distance and smiled blandly, “This Linley is a great circle! The potential is exhausted, and me. Only fused five arcane mysteries. There’s still one step short of Great Perfection. When I, one day, reach the Great Perfection realm, I’ll be able to easily resolve him.”
“This time, when I go back, I’ll have to sink my teeth into it and cultivate properly.”
And then, Augusta turned back and flew in the direction of the Light God Plane.
The four supreme realms were adjacent to each other, and the seven god realms were also adjacent to each other.
These eleven realms were together, in the center of the eleven realms. It was that dimensional battlefield.
“I didn’t expect this Augusta. The strength is surprisingly so strong.” Flying through the void, Linley frowned. If Augusta was any weaker, Linley would have killed him instantly. But Augusta’s strength wasn’t even close to his, and once Augusta ran to the Lord of Destiny. That would be the end of it.
Linley couldn’t die, and once Linley died, Beirut, Greenfire and the others would also suffer.
The Yulan lineage, I’m afraid, would forever be suppressed by this Augusta and would never be able to turn around.
Therefore, Linley chose to temporarily retreat.
“The Lord of Fate owes him a favor? Hmph, let this Augusta live for a while longer for now.” Linley said darkly, “I’ll go back and dive back into cultivating the Laws of Fusion. If I can reach the point of perfection. Let alone Augusta, even if I meet that Aoife, he won’t be my opponent.” Linley had already flown to the edge of the Hell Plane at this moment.
With a single hand, he ripped open the dimension.
That was how Linley entered hell! Three kinds of arcana. It must be understood that each additional fusion of different arcane laws would increase their power a hundredfold! That power would increase a hundredfold! Moreover, when different laws were fused to the extreme, according to Linley’s estimation, he feared that the heavens and the earth would grant him the same power of will.
By then, who would Linley fear?
Hell, over the Blood Peak Continent.
Linley’s figure instantly cut through the air, and compared to Linley, those metal beings that seemed extremely fast were like ants crawling. The speed wasn’t on the same level at all.
“Whew!” Divine sense covered the entire Blood Peak Continent.
Linley instantly discovered Beirut staying in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, that was Beirut’s doppelganger.
“Grandpa Beirut.” Linley transmitted a voice.
Beirut’s divine doppelganger was the one that had been staying in the Blood Peak Continent’s Phantom Blue Mansion.
The Pixie Blue Mansion, within the Heavenly Ritual Mountain Range, was within the mansion that had been built for Linley, and it was here that Beirut was temporarily residing.
“Eh?” As soon as Beirut tilted his head, he saw a silhouette descending from the sky, arriving in front of him like an instantaneous transfer, and it was none other than Linley.
“Linley.” Beirut rejoiced, “How was it? Did you kill Augusta?” Beirut’s eyes were filled with anticipation, and seeing Beirut with such an expression, Linley couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Failed.” Linley shook his head and sighed.
“How could that be?” Beirut was startled, “With your true strength, killing him should have been easy.”
Linley shook his head, “Grandpa Beirut, everyone, everyone has been deceived by that Augusta. His true strength …… is not at all what we think it is. His strength is ten times stronger than what we think! Not weaker than me at all, even if I fight to the death with him, who lives and who dies is not certain …… The most important thing is that that Lord of Destiny, seems to owe him a favor. Do you know about this matter?”
“Master of Fate, owes Augusta a favor?” Beirut shook his head, “I’m not too sure, after all, I became a Lord God, and it’s only been about 20,000 years.”
“I have a feeling that that Augusta shouldn’t be lying.” Linley laughed helplessly, “Alright, after enduring for so many years, just endure for a while longer. Now that I’ve refined the wind main divine compartment, I’m going to open up the wind divine realm once more to improve my wind aspect comprehension. Perhaps, it will improve my fusion law aspect.”
Beirut nodded.
Right now, it seemed that this would have to be the case.
However, Beirut wasn’t worried, with Linley’s potential, there was hope of surpassing the four great Rule Lords, let alone Augusta. It just …… took time!
