The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 410 - 400: I Have Never Seen Such a Shameless Person
Seeing the appearance of the Golden Thunder, Zhao Hao’s face turned black.
The Purple Dragon that had been languishing on Zhao Lingyu’s body showed signs of a brief resurgence. With a Dragon’s Tail Swing, it dodged the Red Dragon’s most lethal bite. Nonetheless, the Red Dragon still managed to bite off the Purple Dragon’s tail and swallowed it.
This kind of struggle for fortune could only be perceived by those well-versed in the Art of Auspicious Qi. To everyone else, it was entirely unnoticed.
But suddenly, Zhao Lingyu spat out a mouthful of blood, her complexion pale as gold leaf, falling into a coma.
This turn of events deeply distressed Fang Yu. Thinking of how Zhao Lingyu sacrificed so much for the citizens of the Capital City, she couldn’t help but regret her initial suspicion towards the Royal Family and her guarded stance against Zhao Lingyu.
As a result, Zhao Lingyu was nothing more than a nominal disciple within the Shenxiao Sect, unable to learn the core techniques and Divine Skills.
Fang Yu was somewhat regretful.
"Once we’re through this calamity, I will take you as my disciple."
Fang Yu made her decision inwardly but turned her gaze to the source of the Golden Thunderbolt.
She knew that it was Lin Yun.
In Lin Yu’s hand, the Thunderclap Sword hummed with vibrations, as if sensing something.
Where the light of the Golden Thunderbolt reached, the sinister and ominous Yin Qi instantly dispersed. However, when the thunderbolts struck the Resentful Spirits, they caused no harm but merely melted away the resentment within them. The spirits, invigorated, began to act more sluggishly.
It was only then that everyone faintly heard the chanting of Buddhist scriptures, indistinct and unclear, but the sound was drawing nearer.
The Thunderclap Sword in Lin Yu’s hand trembled slightly, as if sensing something.
A few breaths later, Lin Yun arrived on the scene. He saw Lin Yu and the others, as well as Zhao Hao, who confronted them.
Zhao Hao’s face was already black.
It was this guy again!
Every time he had just started showing off, before he could make an impact, he was forcefully interrupted.
This time, Zhao Hao felt that the situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.
He had calculated every possibility but never imagined anyone could unleash such powerful Thunderbolt Light in an instant. Not only that, but the Power of Thunder showed no sign of receding and was even expanding rapidly, covering the entire Capital City within it.
In this world, there was only gold and black left, but the black could only retreat.
Zhao Ze, who followed Lin Yun, looked at this scene and was suddenly reminded of the organization of his beloved.
Morning Twilight.
That organization had been eradicated, root and branch, after drawing the attention of the Imperial Court and the Royal Family, having long stood in opposition to them. You Ji was lucky, with Zhao Ze’s help, she escaped disaster.
Generations had fought without ever seeing the dawn of Morning Twilight.
But now, he had seen it.
The light will eventually drive out darkness.
The situation was now one-sided. Lin Yu and Fang Yu were extremely powerful combatants, and their only worry had been the Resentful Spirits, which were now effortlessly dealt with.
Lin Yun fulfilled his promise. He did not let these vengeful souls scatter; he used the Resurrection Thunder.
This was thunder for healing, not for slaughter. Coupled with Lin Yun’s chanting of Buddhist scriptures, the gentle force combined with the curse-breaking effect of Resurrection Thunder instantly accomplished the Purification of the spirits.
Normally, Purification would require continuous chanting until the spirits themselves awaken. Lin Yun did not have such patience.
After breaking the formation, Lin Yun saw the sky and earth change colors and knew something significant had happened. Unable to fly from the underground city, Lin Yun had no choice but to rush all the way. On the road, he encountered endless vengeful spirits and began to chant, using Little Gold to wield the Resurrection Thunder.
The light of the thunder began just five meters around Lin Yun. As he continued to consume Spiritual Power, the range spread at an alarmingly fast rate.
Therefore, in Zhao Hao’s eyes, it appeared as if the golden light had suddenly burst forth, but in reality, there was a process to it.
"I thought I heard someone speaking of defying the heavens. Was it you?"
Lin Yun’s ears were quite sharp; despite the distance, he could hear Zhao Hao show off.
Heh, you think just because your name contains ’day’ and ’sky’, you’re Zhao Sky Day!
What is an outright face slap?
Fang Yu’s mood right now could be summed up in one word: thrilled!
She had been so angry just moments ago, saying that Zhao Hao was going against the natural order, and he even said that if the heavens did not tolerate him, he would defy them. What then?
The next second her beloved disciple slapped his face repeatedly.
"The wicked have their recompense; Zhao Hao, do you see it?"
Zhao Hao: "..."
You think you’ve won?
Zhao Hao looked at Lin Yun, seething inside, but he still managed a forced smile and said, "Your talent is evident, why consort with a rebel? A gentleman recognizes opportunities, and the enlightened accept fate. My ambition is to establish an eternal realm. Today’s minor transgressions are but a loss for the ages. If you are willing to surrender today, you’ll still be granted the honor of ennoblement."
Upon hearing "the honor of ennoblement," Lin Yun’s DNA stirred again.
"I had assumed that, as the Son of Heaven, you would possess profound views in the face of two armies, but to my surprise, you utter such vulgar words."
Zhao Hao’s face darkened. As the Emperor, when had he ever been berated like this!
Moreover, what two armies were there in front of him?
Were these few enough to form an army against him?
It might be that Lin Yun’s words had a touch of spell-casting to them. Shortly after he spoke, Zhao Guang arrived with a large group of troops and an Acolyte as reinforcements.
"Your Highness, I come late in your defense. Please forgive this son’s tardiness," Zhao Guang said.
Zhao Hao: "..."
Why have you come? To watch the show?
Seeing more people arriving, Lin Yun’s interest grew.
"I have something to say, please hear me out. In this year of hardship, with unrest from all sides, the Demon Tribe wreaking havoc and barbarians pounding at the borders, the wind and rain are unsteady, disasters rise from all quarters. At this time of national crisis, what has the Zhao Clan done? In the battle against demons, they did not contribute; in pacifying the mountains and seas, they achieved nothing. The Zhao Clan has accepted the sacrifices of the world for over a thousand years without giving anything in return. At this time of recuperation, they again sow discord.
Luckily, the heavens favor the Righteous Path. Our Shenxiao Sect harbors the common people, defends against formidable enemies, and, together with all the forces of righteousness, safeguards the land of Great Zhou. Now, the Zhao Clan is devoid of virtue, murdering meritorious officials and harming the common folk, framing the loyal and good. How dare you recklessly discuss nobility? I have never seen such shamelessness!"
"You!"
Zhao Hao had never been scolded so directly before, and to make matters worse, he couldn’t even retort, which made him even more furious.
"Do you really think you have won?"
Zhao Hao said coldly.
At this point, the situation was tilting in favor of Lin Yun and his allies. The Imperial Court’s greatest weapon—the hundred thousand Resentful Spirits, against which even someone in the Enlightened Realm could only barely defend—had been purified by Lin Yun.
Although not by the fire of burning, the Fire Seed within Lin Yun had now reached nineteen petals.
Purifying a hundred thousand Resentful Spirits had directly caused it to grow by four petals.
Clearly, it did not necessarily have to be burnt by the Virtue Fire to grow; as long as it was increased virtue, the Golden Lotus could become even more powerful.
"You have a backup plan?"
Lin Yun looked skeptical, but Zhao Hao laughed out loud and said, "The hundred thousand Resentful Spirits are merely a key, while the gate has already been opened. The key is gone but it no longer matters, for the entrance to the Netherworld Realm has been opened, and you have nowhere to retreat!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Above the sky, the last black area, which not even Lin Yun’s Golden Thunderbolt could eradicate, remained.
Lin Yun had not called Little Gold back, constantly releasing Thunderbolt in an attempt to erase that spot, but to no avail, he simply couldn’t do it.
And now within that black fog, there was even a hint of white. The white light grew larger, and a giant gate emerged in midair.
As the gate opened, an endless surge of Yin Qi emerged once again, even pushing back Lin Yun’s Golden Thunderbolt a few degrees.
This was no longer the kind of Yin Qi that could be easily purified; it contained a special kind of power, similar to the previous Great Mist.
If it couldn’t be dissipated, then it should be swallowed.
Without a word, Lin Yun took out his Chaos Pearl.
However, the Chaos Pearl, which was useful everywhere else, failed this time.
"Don’t waste your efforts; the Divine Spirits of the Netherland are very much alive!"
What Zhao Hao said caused Lin Yu to change color.
Her greatest worry was about Gods; Lin Yun was destined to perish from divine wrath.
Although Lin Yu’s Heart Sword was invincible, she knew that currently, she did not possess the power to slay Gods.
She didn’t understand what a God was, what Divine Skills they possessed, or how they could be killed.
These were all unknown to her, what could she use to fight against a Divine Spirit?
According to Zhao Hao, once the Netherworld Realm’s gate was opened, the Divine Spirits on the other side would take notice of this place.
What then?
If Lin Yun stood in front and obstructed, there was a considerable chance something bad would happen.
Gripping the still buzzing Thunderclap Sword, Lin Yu floated over to Lin Yun’s side.
"You go first."
"You cannot escape now!"
Zhao Hao watched with delight as the black once more stood equal to the gold, feeling immensely pleased.
"Once the power of the Nether Kingdom pervades, Impermanence will set foot in this world, turning this place into the Nether Kingdom. My Zhao Clan will live forever, and you rebels..."
Zhao Hao paused, then added with viciousness, "I won’t let you die easily. I’ll make sure you endure torture for all eternity!"
Lin Yun summoned as much Spiritual Liquid as he could, and Little Gold also gave its all, but the places covered by the golden light were still being pushed back.
Lin Yun had a feeling that those covered by the black fog would die very quickly.
But Lin Yun didn’t have enough strength left to protect the common people of the Capital City.
Soon, the first victim appeared.
It was a Resentful Spirit that Lin Yun had purified. When it came into contact with the black fog, it once again became a Resentful Spirit and lunged at Lin Yun, only to be casually extinguished by his hand.
"We can’t go on like this!"
The rest of Lin Yun’s thought was, "I suggest we run away."
However, before he could voice it, Little Gold said, "The Thunderclap Sword is nearby, and if I merge with the sword, perhaps we’ll have a fighting chance."
Lin Yun: "..."
Fang Yu was also there. If she saw him take the Sword Spirit, the image he projected in her mind would likely crumble.
But now...
There was no time to worry about that anymore.
"Yu’er, hand me the Thunderclap Sword."
Lin Yun turned to Zhao Lingyu to ask for the sword.
Fang Yu was momentarily stunned.
Yu’er?
You are that close now?
Fang Yu felt bewildered, suspecting something was amiss.
But the next second, seeing the cluster of Golden Thunder emerging from within Lin Yun, she was stunned.
The Thunderclap Sword’s Spirit I’ve been searching for so long is with my disciple?
Fang Yu’s composure shattered.
At that moment, Lin Yun merely glanced at her, then no longer distracted himself with anything else and inserted the Thunderclap Sword’s Spirit back into the Thunderclap Sword.
To facilitate a better fusion between the Sword Spirit and the sword body, Lin Yun made a cut on his hand. The blood was absorbed by the Thunderclap Sword, and in the next moment, the Thunderclap Sword emitted a dazzling golden light, and a beam of light pierced the heavens...
