"Heh—" Lin Tang laughed. "What a lively scene!"
"It's you!"
"Central Earth's Long Tianji!"
"You actually managed to escape alive?"
The incarnations of the Earth Immortals from the Underworld were all surprised. They already knew that those who had captured Lin Tang were, at the very least, Earth Immortals in their main bodies. Logically, Long Tianji shouldn't have been able to cause any trouble.
The Eye of Truth was joyful rather than angry to see Lin Tang was unhard. It was just about to express that it harbored no ill will toward him—
This was a lie! It only knew that with its incarnation alone, it couldn't snatch the Yin Yang Mirror from Lin Tang. There was no hurry to turn hostile until its main body arrived from the stars.
Lin Tang spoke first, "Perfect. I'm in a foul mood right now. Since you trash dared to cross , you can all just go and die."
"Huh?"
"Telling us all to die?"
"Such arrogance!"
"Long Tianji, you're the one who should die..."
The deities and the Earth Immortal incarnations were all furious. Seeing the light sword in Lin Tang's hands, they decisively stopped their infighting and united against a common enemy, charging toward him.
Lin Tang's gaze was icy as he stepped on the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud.
WHOOSH!
He vanished along with the cloud, reappearing behind them. Before they could even turn to face him, he vanished again, reappearing on their other side.
"So you think you're the only one who can teleport? Watch us!"
The deities and Earth Immortal incarnations also teleported, trying to close the distance. However, they were no match for an Immortal Artifact. For the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud, short-range teleports within a light-year consud almost no energy. With its help, Lin Tang was simply toying with them, making them run around in circles.
"How is this possible?"
"Why is his teleportation so much faster than ours?"
"He's stronger than he was a few days ago!"
Even the holy sword in Lin Tang's hands, which could move at nearly the speed of light, was struggling silently, constantly trying to flee. It was stunned into stillness by the even faster Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud, having completely forgotten how to escape. If it were sapient, it would have worshiped the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud with utter devotion.
My idol!
The deities and Earth Immortals were sharp-eyed as well. After being led around for a while, they naturally noticed the extraordinariness of the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud. Green with envy, they all wanted to seize it for themselves.
Lin Tang, however, had already familiarized himself with the light sword's capabilities.
Perfect. My dharma body has been empty-handed and without a weapon for too long. This thing that just fell into my lap is passably decent.
He nodded in satisfaction, then lunged forward with the sword. Empowered by his robust True Qi, the holy sword unleashed its greatest power. Like skewering kebabs, it pierced through several deity incarnations in a single thrust. They couldn't react in ti and were utterly unable to dodge.
"You..."
They stiffened, slowly looking down as they faded away, filled with unwillingness.
"Not good!"
The remaining ones tried to scatter, but it was too late. The auspicious cloud carried Lin Tang as he caught up to them one by one, stabbing wildly. They tried to counterattack but couldn't even touch a single hair on his head. They could only die where they stood, filled with regret.
"Wait, I have sothing to say..."
The Eye of Truth, relying on its incredibly powerful vision, managed to hold out until the very end. It wanted to negotiate for peace, but Lin Tang killed it all the sa.
From the mont Lin Tang had suddenly appeared, the city's desperate humans began to hope again after their initial shock. Lin Tang and the incarnations of the deities and Earth Immortals were teleporting so fast that the humans couldn't see a thing. In the end, only Lin Tang remained floating in the sky.
It didn't take a genius to figure out he had dealt with all of them.
"So... we're all saved?"
"It's all thanks to State Preceptor Long!"
"Long live State Preceptor Long! State Preceptor Long is invincible!"
"We're willing to have you as our State Preceptor of Alin, too! Let those failures in the Black Palace go to hell! State Preceptor Long, please stay, don't abandon us!"
The surviving humans knelt, their hearts filled with gratitude, admiration, and fervent hope.
Lin Tang thrust the holy sword into the ground and approached the nearest group of people. "What has happened these past few days?"
While the people clamored to tell their stories of Alin's hardships, the holy sword regained its freedom. Under the remote control of the benevolent old man in the palace of the Alas Mountain Range, it tried to escape again.
WHOOSH!
It appeared thousands of miles away in an instant. Without needing any instruction from Lin Tang, the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud chased after it like a cat toying with a mouse, instantly blocking its path.
"Halt! You worthless scrap tal, you dare show off that sluggish pace of yours before ? Get lost!"
The two collided. Despite appearing as a soft, fluffy cloud, an Immortal Artifact was still an Immortal Artifact. Its material was so tough that no ordinary Magic Artifact could hold a candle to it. The holy sword t a tragic fate. It was nearly shattered into pieces before the auspicious cloud ford a mouth and, with a swift gulp, swallowed it whole.
No matter how the benevolent old man stomped his feet and beat his chest in frustration, there was nothing he could do. The poor holy sword. It had left just fine, but now, it could never return.
Learning about the terrible state of Alin, Lin Tang didn't know what to say. As for their pleas for him to stay and protect them...
Forget it.
Ever the frugal one, even while possessing an Immortal Artifact like the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud, Lin Tang still habitually looted the corpses of the Underworld creatures the holy sword had killed. The giant creature, over ten ters tall, was especially valuable. Its entire body was suitable for Artifact Refining. Its skin was even better than that of mystical beasts and was more than capable of holding the visualization diagrams of Heaven-tier martial arts techniques. Its bones and claws were also extrely sturdy and could channel True Qi, making them perfect materials for Magic Artifacts.
The most valuable parts, however, were its vocal cords. They could be refined into sound-wave-based Magic Artifacts or even more advanced Communication Talismans.
Of course, what pleased Lin Tang the most was the Storage Magic Artifact he found on its body.
