Chapter 982: Chapter 608: The Monster Covered in Pimples, Information Blocked by the World Rules_2

"Hmm, alright, go quickly, forget it, I’ll go with you."

The treasure vault was empty, everything was an illusion, except for the Illusion Demon Pearl and the pervasive space fluctuations, there was nothing valuable; staying here had no meaning for Lu Lin.

"Yes, Master."

Then Cao Hui closed the main gate of the treasure vault, inside it still appeared to be filled with Star Stones scattered on the ground, with endless treasures in sight.

Following behind Cao Hui, they both left the Sect Leader’s Hall and headed to the residence of the brothers Li Chenggong and Li Chengwu.

These two brothers were said to be very close, living and eating together since childhood, and their cultivation talent was almost the same. Currently, both were at mid-stage Star Emperor cultivation, using Ninth Grade Star Tools, the Demon-Slaying Blades, as their weapons.

Lu Lin and Cao Hui arrived, and the two sensed it from afar, waiting outside the door, "Lu, my friend, what brings you here at such a late hour, and you even brought grandmother along."

Lu Lin scoffed inwardly; these two had no respect for Cao Hui at all, yet now they pretended to be filial in front of him.

Without waiting for Lu Lin to speak, Cao Hui stepped forward, "I’ve already told Lu Lin about some matters concerning your father. He has come here this time to learn more from you. Open the door and let Lu Lin in to ask questions."

"Grandmother, it’s a bit inconvenient at this time. Whatever Lu Lin, my brother, needs to know, he can ask here," Li Chengwu directly refused, showing no regard for Cao Hui.

Cao Hui widened her eyes, about to scold the brothers, but was stopped by Lu Lin, "No need. There’s a master in the courtyard, could you show yourself so we can meet?"

Silence.

Li Chenggong and Li Chengwu were shocked.

The master had been hiding in their residence, never discovered, yet Lu Lin knew upon his arrival.

Was there an informant?

The brothers exchanged a glance, speculating silently.

"What, are you refusing to honor my invitation?"

Seeing the courtyard remain silent for too long, Lu Lin grew annoyed, about to take action when a dark shadow soared into the air, targeting Lu Lin and diving down.

"Haha, a boy with such strong Soul Power can actually detect my presence. Must be... quite delicious, huh."

The voice was muffled, as if trapped in a drum, barely audible.

But none of that mattered.

Lu Lin swung his broken knife, meeting the dark shadow head-on.

No matter human or ghost, kill first, question later.

"What!"

"This is..."

The shadow was shocked upon seeing the broken knife, remembering it well, how was it appearing again now?

Retreat!

But the speed of his dive was too fast to turn back, and with Lu Lin leaping up, it appeared as though he was charging towards the broken knife.

"No!"

"Help me!"

The shadow shouted, hoping Li Chengwu and Li Chenggong, who were watching, would help.

But how could Lu Lin give him such an opportunity?

Having been struck by the broken knife, letting him escape would make Lu Lin look foolish.

A vast amount of Star Power flowed into Lu Lin from his opponent’s body.

So big, so much, so satisfying.

The Star Power in his body was even more abundant than the Four-eyed Spirit Monkey King encountered days ago.

Lu Lin almost wanted to shout in comfort.

"No, no, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have come here. I’ll leave immediately, I beg you, spare my life."

The opponent babbled in panic.

Lu Lin remained silent.

At this time, Cao Hui also saw his face, almost retching.

He was covered in black, wrapped in black cloth, his skin littered with black, green, pink, orange, and yellow pimples, some as small as rice grains, others as big as pomegranates, even pimples on top of pimples.

These pimples continuously ruptured, releasing a light yellow liquid, a foul stench overwhelming.

While he resembled a human, his eyes, nose, mouth, and limbs were bizarre, more monster than man.

"Boy, you’re pushing me," the monster said.

Seemingly confident in a mutual destruction scenario with Lu Lin.

But how could Lu Lin indulge him, silently continuing to absorb Star Power, even urging the broken knife to speed up.

After all, this thing was still a Star Emperor Level existence.

The commotion startled many senior-level Demon Slaying Sect members nearby.

Hao Datong and Ye Xiaorou’s expressions changed, rushing over.

They hadn’t expected Lu Lin’s first day at the Demon Slaying Sect to cause such a stir.

Why so diligent?

"You’ve forced me, boy," the monster muttered, "and now my millennia of efforts turn to dust. When I find you, I’ll grind your bones to ashes."

"If you dare, state your name."

"Heh."

After the monster threatened, Lu Lin retorted disdainfully, "You’re as good as dead, doesn’t matter if you know. I’m surnamed Chen, given name not known, call me Chen Buming, don’t get it wrong in hell."

The monster froze.

The others who heard were speechless. "You are clearly Lu Lin, how can you be Chen Buming," they thought, "such audacity to change names."

"Impossible, you can’t be that guy."

"Absolutely not."

"Chen Buming, he..."

The monster wanted to say more, but his mouth moved silently, as Lu Lin couldn’t hear a word.

Simultaneously, a fluctuation of world rules reached Lu Lin, who understood then.

The monster hadn’t been silenced; the world rules had blocked his words.

This, quite impressive.

He had encountered Chen Buming twice before, initially assuming he was at the Star Emperor Level, but after learning about the Saint Lord level, Lu Lin suspected Chen Buming to be at that stage.

Considering his understanding, Star Emperor strengths didn’t exhibit Chen Buming’s many capabilities.

But now, the monster could name Chen Buming, yet the details were shrouded by world rules.

Chen Buming seemed far more formidable than Lu Lin imagined.

"You’re forcing me."

"Remember, you forced me."

"My efforts of millennia in vain, you’ll join me in ruin."

"Also, this blood-stained Xu Xi, will once again become ownerless."

The monster’s form swelled rapidly.

This isn’t good.

It was about to self-detonate.

Everyone witnessing retreated swiftly.

The monster was terrifying; even a touch could be hard to cleanse.

"Boy, you have courage."

"To obtain the Saber Demon’s blood-stained Xu Xi and know about Chen Buming, if you grow, you’ll surely be a main figure of the future world; but, you’ve exposed too soon."

"Too soon, haha!"

"Boom—"

The monster exploded, giving Lu Lin no time to react.

Strangely, there were no pieces of pimples or corpse fragments.

Instead, colorful gas expanded outward.

Lu Lin immediately held his breath, but the gas clung to his skin, entering his blood like before, even causing dizziness for a moment despite his physique.

He retreated swiftly.

While shouting, "Everyone retreat, the mist is highly toxic, touch it and you die."

His defenses caused dizziness; others, less sturdy, were certainly at worse risk.

Now at Two Dragons Strength, his flesh was arguably unrivaled below the Saint Lord.

The eerie colorful gas spread fast.

With its coverage widening, the color gradually faded.

A dozen Demon Slaying Sect disciples couldn’t avoid it, trying to resist the gas’s onslaught.

But as they circulated Star Power, they suddenly collapsed, the light in their eyes fading.
