The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 770 - 276: The Brittle Lord of the Netherworld
Lin Yun’s reaction was extremely sensitive. The moment he sensed the true source of danger, he leapt toward the segment of the scroll on the ground, reaching out to grab it, yet he was repelled by the yellow light shimmering on the scroll’s surface.
It was also at this time that the scroll began to show signs of anomaly. The yellow light that burst forth from the area Lin Yun touched didn’t dissipate when his hand was repelled, but instead grew increasingly intense.
Under the yellow light, flesh buds rapidly sprouted from the edges of the scroll,spread towards the two scrolls in the skeletal hand.
Lin Yun looked at this psychologically disturbing scene and couldn’t bear it. On the spot, he went all out, summoning a dense array of Fire Seed Golden Lotuses and directing them towards those tentacle-like flesh buds.
Was it you just now who didn’t give me face?
Let’s see if I burn you to ashes. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Seeing Lin Yun directly confronting the scroll, Qian Qian and the Snow Maiden also reacted swiftly. There was no longer any time for hesitation.
Working in unison, one on the left and one on the right, they reached for the scrolls in the skeletal hand and, with a gentle tug, took them into their hands.
"Strange, why were these so easy to get? Something doesn’t feel quite right."
Qian Qian muttered to herself in her mind. Before she could unfurl the scrolls to examine them, she heard Liu Ji caution, "Be careful, the skeleton is changing."
Lin Yun immediately stepped back.
He didn’t need to stand still and watch the fire consume the scroll; he just needed to maintain an appropriate distance.
Turning to look at the skeleton leaning against the Jade Wall, he saw its originally yellowish bones turn white and moist, as if reflecting light, after Qian Qian and the Snow Maiden had taken the scrolls.
Suddenly, a pale green fluorescence appeared at the joints of the bones, and beneath the glow, flesh and blood slowly began to grow on the skeleton.
"Little Gold, it’s up to you now."
Lin Yun dared not let the skeleton regenerate its flesh and blood. He thrust a sword into the skeleton’s body, and after the Thunderbolt exploded, he cast his Fire Spell to begin burning the skeleton.
Strike first to gain the advantage. Before the boss had time to wake up, slash half its health away.
While burning the scrolls and skeleton, Lin Yun felt like a housewife busy managing two stoves at once, totally frazzled.
"Canglan, what do you think I should do in this situation?"
Lin Yun pondered. Canglan was also a Divine Emperor during the Twilight Era of the Gods, when reincarnation was not yet shattered, and as a top-tier powerhouse, she definitely knew more.
Just like the Lord of the Netherworld Realm, such a strong entity, how could he not know him?
Canglan was still slurping "Meng Po Cold Skin," which must have been rather difficult to digest as she had been sluLrping for quite a while.
Fortunately, even while eating, she did not neglect to answer his questions.
"I seem to smell a fragrance. Is this the scent of roasting the Lord of the Netherworld?"
Lin Yun: "..."
Such a response left him speechless.
"You don’t really want to eat it, do you?"
"Perhaps it’s worth a try."
Actually, following Canglan’s reminder, Lin Yun also noticed the scorched fragrance of bone.
Premium ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods, but these bones were still growing flesh. If not for Lin Yun’s suppression with his vitality, the flesh would grow even faster.
What kind of stomach can digest this kind of food?
Lin Yun didn’t think he could handle it, but Canglan definitely could.
However, she was currently living inside Lin Yun in a parasitic manner; for her to eat anything, Lin Yun had to pass it to her first.
Trying it out wasn’t out of the question. Lin Yun punched at the rib cage of the Lord of the Netherworld Realm, producing a sound like gold striking iron.
The bones were really hard; Lin Yun felt his fist somewhat pained.
These bones are not simple at all!
"Let me do it!"
Canglan stuffed the unfinished "Meng Po Cold Skin" into her pocket, where it disappeared, and then her tiny figure appeared in Lin Yun’s hand. She opened her mouth wide and bit down on the rib cage of the Lord of the Netherworld Realm.
There was a crisp crackling sound as the Lord of the Netherworld’s rib was bit into, leaving a notch.
Canglan returned to Lin Yun’s body, crunching on the bone—it seemed even harder to digest than the ox horn he had chewed before, and Canglan could only manage that one bite.
In Yama Hall, as Canglan bit down, King Yama sitting high on his throne couldn’t help but clutch his chest, emitting a pained groan.
In front of him, a dark mirror was showing the situation within the Reincarnation Well.
Seeing Lin Yun’s Canglan perform such an unusual act, King Yama felt a surge of annoyance.
This guy, why does he never play by the rules?
"Your Majesty, should we take action?"
The voice came from the mirror in front of King Yama.
King Yama was wearing a golden mask, his expression unseen, but his emotions could be read from his eyes through the mirror.
He was already very irritable.
"It’s still too early to act now. I don’t believe they can chew on that tough bone!"
King Yama threw down his harsh words and sat back on his throne, continuing to watch the scene in the mirror.
In the Reincarnation Well, Lin Yun was in awe of Canglan’s biting prowess and wanted to exclaim in admiration.
Since Canglan could break through, that bone seemed like it could be well roasted and taken away to feed Canglan in the future.
Wait, am I automatically assuming the role of a pet owner?
"We should not stay here for long; it is best to leave this place as soon as possible."
Qian Qian, holding an Earth Scripture Fragment, still felt very uneasy, as did the Snow Maiden.
The omnipresent sense of danger did not dissipate because Lin Yun started a fire to control the Lord of the Netherworld’s bone and the Earth Scripture Fragment; instead, it grew more intense, and they both wanted to leave immediately.
Lin Yun nodded and looked towards the Jade Wall.
This was the deepest part of the Reincarnation Well—to open this Jade Wall was to send Zhang Biyu’s True Spirit to be reincarnated.
That’s what Canglan had told him.
This Jade Wall looked similar to the ones he had encountered before, but upon closer inspection, he noticed that the patterns here were the exact opposite of the previous ones, like a mirror image.
Behind the Jade Wall was a profound darkness, invisible and unknowable.
"Give her to me," Lin Yun said to Liu Ji.
Now, Zhang Biyu in Liu Ji’s hands seemed to bloom even more beautifully than before.
Liu Ji looked at the white lotus in his hands with lingering affection, reluctant to let go, yet he resolutely handed it over to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun felt a twinge of melancholy at the sight.
Some people’s relationships end before they even begin.
They didn’t even get to say their goodbyes properly; from now on, Zhang Biyu would forget Liu Ji, but whether Liu Ji could forget Zhang Biyu was another matter.
Perhaps that’s what fate is.
Lin Yun reached out for the Jade Wall, with Canglan summoning the power of Impermanence, spreading from Lin Yun’s hand to the surface of the Jade Wall.
Now, Lin Yun felt he could push the Jade Wall.
With a gentle push, a crack appeared.
In that moment, Lin Yun heard the wails of countless ghosts, yet what he saw was a bright vision—down the narrow passage, smiling faces were watching him.
Lin Yun was certain, this scene was far more frightening than a horrific and gloomy one.
In Yama Hall, observing Lin Yun push open that piece of Jade Wall, the figure on the throne finally laughed out loud.
"You’ve opened Reincarnation, but now you’ll never be able to close it again..."
