813: Chapter 811 You Are Different

A chilling, deathly power filled the heavens and earth.

Waves of icy aura rose up, sealing off the entire void.

In the darkened world, a wisp of sinister wind blew past. A figure with an indistinct face slowly emerged, shrouded in a layer of black mist, stepping out of the darkness and walking toward Lin Yang.

With every step it took, the icy power grew stronger, and the power of death became a few shades thicker.

After just a few steps, the originally vibrant green trees and flowers seemed to have their life force stripped away in an instant, withering and turning gray in a flash.

In the span of a few breaths, everything living within Lin Yang's sight had become dead matter.

The world had turned into a dead zone.

"It's you!"

Lin Yang felt a chill in his heart.

The one who had suddenly appeared was none other than that Yin Soul!

It had been nearly a million years since this Yin Soul last appeared.

With no movement for so many years, Lin Yang did not expect it to make a comeback today.

Moreover, it seemed that after reappearing this time, the Yin Soul's power was far stronger than before.

When the Yin Soul appeared before, although it possessed icy power, it could not affect the environment much. But this time, it could not only seal the space but also turn an entire area into a dead zone.

This increase in power was too obvious.

"It seems the sign of extreme misfortune that Yu Qing sensed was this Yin Soul."

Lin Yang thought to himself.

When the Yin Soul appeared previously, although it gave him a very powerful feeling, it could not make him feel terror and unease from the bottom of his heart.

But now, he felt a trembling from his soul.

That was the instinct of a living being, the body's instinctive reaction when facing an entity that could not be resisted.

Just this reaction alone made Lin Yang understand that he was likely in grave danger this time.

The Yin Soul was far, far stronger than before.

One must know that even when he was not yet at the Heng Realm, he did not have this feeling of despair when facing the Yin Soul.

Now that he had become stronger, the fact that he felt this way when facing the Yin Soul was enough to explain the situation.

This Yin Soul was likely able to ignore the restrictions of the realm rules to some extent now and could unleash some of its true power.

Lin Yang recalled that once before, the Yin Soul had said that the time had not yet come.

Now it seemed that the time had come, and the restrictions of the realm rules had weakened.

Otherwise, it would not have become this strong after descending.

In the dark, Lin Yang had a feeling.

The Yin Soul stopped less than half a meter away from him, a smile filled with chill appearing on its illusory face:

"The time has come."

As expected!

Lin Yang sighed in his heart.

Yet he was not willing to have his body taken away by the Yin Soul just like that.

The battle armor on his body had been damaged by the Yin Soul last time, but after so many years of repairs, it could still play a small role.

The tattered piece of cloth was also instantly taken out by Lin Yang and held in his hand.

The piece of cloth had also recovered its power over these many years.

As soon as the piece of cloth appeared, it automatically sensed the Yin Soul's power.

The piece of cloth burst forth with a gleaming white light, shrouding the Yin Soul.

"Hmph, a remnant corner of a fallen dharma garment dares to shine."

The Yin Soul merely gave a cold snort without making any move. The power of the cloth, which had been able to drive away the Yin Soul every time it appeared before, was useless this time.

The gleaming white radiance it emitted seemed to suffer some kind of fatal blow under the Yin Soul's cold snort; the light instantly dimmed and dissipated, and it drifted down like an ordinary piece of cloth.

Lin Yang reached out to catch it, but his body was unable to move.

The Yin Soul had actually completely suppressed his body without him noticing.

Even the battle armor he wore underneath did not provide any protection.

This left Lin Yang feeling a bit helpless.

The previous two times the Yin Soul wanted to control him, the battle armor could react to block the Yin Soul's power.

But this time, the Yin Soul's power was clearly strong enough to ignore the power of the battle armor.

It had suppressed him without even giving the battle armor a chance to react.

The Yin Soul's gaze fell on Lin Yang's face, and in an instant, an unprecedentedly cold and icy power drilled into Lin Yang's body through his seven orifices.

At the same time, the Yin Soul's will also began to invade his soul.

The Yin Soul did not say anything at all and directly began attempting to seize Lin Yang's physical body.

This made it impossible for Lin Yang to say anything to stall for time.

The moment his soul was invaded, a sense of trance made him lose focus.

The gap in strength between him and the Yin Soul was too large, leaving almost no room for resistance.

He only vaguely heard the long-absent voice of the System:

"Detected that the Host is suffering from a fatal-level soul invasion. The intruder is a special life form from the Yin Realm. The specific strength of this life form is unknown, but it far exceeds the Host."

"It is detected that the Host is currently in the Primal Ancient Continent, cultivation has reached the Heng Realm, and is suffering from an invasion by a high-level life form from the Yin Realm, meeting the conditions for activating the special System module [Yin-Yang Realm]."

"[Yin-Yang Realm] module activated."

"Special module activated successfully."

"[Yin-Yang Realm] module has started. It will open the [Gate of Yin-Yang] to temporarily isolate the connection between the real world and the Yin Realm space."

"This consumption will deduct all national treasure value and all stored energy of the System. Due to the Host's abnormal state, the System will automatically authorize this permission."

"..."

"Detected the presence of a special transcendent substance [Realm] in the Host's soul."

"[Gate of Yin-Yang] plan optimizing."

"Plan optimization successful. Starting special contingency plan: strengthening [Spirit of the Realm]."

"[Spirit of the Realm] strengthening initiated."

"The consumption for this strengthening has shifted from starting the [Gate of Yin-Yang] to activating the [Spirit of the Realm]. The consumption remains the same. The System will automatically authorize this consumption permission."

"[Spirit of the Realm] strengthening initiated."

"Due to insufficient System stored energy, [Spirit of the Realm] cannot be fully strengthened. Starting secondary contingency plan."

"[Spirit of the Realm] semi-strengthening successful."

"[Spirit of the Realm] power is expanding..."

"[Spirit of the Realm] power successfully expanded."

"Due to the exhaustion of System stored energy, the System will shut down immediately."

"Respected Host, it was a pleasure to serve you. Looking forward to seeing you next time."

"..."

In a daze, Lin Yang heard the System's voice.

But he did not hear it very clearly.

He did not hear exactly what the System said.

He only felt that as the System's voice disappeared, an incomparably strong power erupted from within his soul.

He was not unfamiliar with that power; it was the power of [Realm].

Only, this time, the power of [Realm] was different from any previous time.

In the past, every time [Realm] acted, it was cautious, as if afraid of being discovered, and its power was always a trickle.

But this time, [Realm] seemed to have been stimulated by something; the power it erupted with was surging, like a great river or sea.

He even vaguely felt a will.

A will emanating from [Realm].

That will seemed to be saying: Quickly absorb my power, quickly absorb my power, suppress it back, suppress it back!

Lin Yang was a bit astonished for a moment.

[Realm] could actually speak?

Could it transmit information?

But at this time, there was no time for him to think too much.

Under the urging of [Realm]'s will, he could feel that the Yin Soul's invasion of his soul was hindered to a certain extent.

A powerful force erupted from [Realm] to counter the Yin Soul, and at the same time, a vast feedback force was injected into his body.

Lin Yang was not unfamiliar with this kind of feedback force.

Previously, when he was in the Grotto-Heaven Secret Realm, he had relied on the feedback of [Realm]'s power to increase his cultivation quite a bit.

Now that [Realm] was feeding back power to him at such a critical juncture, combined with the will information [Realm] had just transmitted.

Lin Yang did not think too much and immediately began to absorb the large amounts of feedback power.

As he absorbed the power fed back to him by [Realm].

Lin Yang gradually felt that his body was not so cold anymore.

It seemed that the Yin Soul's power was not suppressing him as strongly.

"It is [Realm] helping me."

Lin Yang's eyes flashed.

At the same moment.

The Yin Soul also noticed Lin Yang's change.

With its strength, even separated by the suppression of the realm rules, it should have been able to succeed quickly.

This time, the time was indeed fast approaching.

The suppression of the realm rules had weakened a lot, so it was bound to succeed.

However, the power that suddenly erupted from Lin Yang...

"It is the power of a transcendent substance!"

On the Yin Soul's face, which had always been calm regardless of when it appeared before, a trace of shock finally appeared. It stared at Lin Yang, its voice filled with disbelief and also a kind of excitement:

"A substance that transcends reincarnation, you actually have such a supreme treasure on you!"

Upon hearing this, although Lin Yang did not understand what the Yin Soul meant, he roughly understood that the substance transcending reincarnation it spoke of should refer to [Realm].

"You... why do you insist on targeting me? Why must you choose me to seize a body? With your strength, it should be easy to seize someone else, why just target me?"

Lin Yang did not respond to the topic of [Realm], but instead took the opportunity to ask the biggest doubt in his heart.

This Yin Soul seemed very eager to seize a physical body, but it had already failed here several times.

Lin Yang was indeed very puzzled. Since this guy could already cross the Yin Realm and descend into reality at any time, wouldn't it be better to go find someone else to seize?

Why did it have to keep targeting him?

The Yin Soul heard this and just gave a soft snort:

"You are different."

Different?

Lin Yang frowned: "How am I different?"

The Yin Soul did not explain further, but only said: "You have given this seat a great pleasant surprise. This seat is very satisfied. This seat will make good use of your body."

Along with these words, Lin Yang, who had already regained some control over his body, felt that he was completely suppressed again.

But this time, the Yin Soul did not directly invade his soul again. Although there was power surging toward his soul, it was not an invasion, but more like a probing and searching.

It seemed that this Yin Soul wanted to find the [Realm] hidden in his soul.

[Realm] seemed to have sensed the Yin Soul's actions, and the power it erupted with became even more surging, firmly protecting Lin Yang's soul, making it impossible for the Yin Soul's power to enter.

"As expected of a substance that transcends reincarnation. It seems that it is not even in its complete form yet, and it is already this strong. Hehe."

The Yin Soul's words were more numerous than any time before.

Clearly, the existence of [Realm] made even a personage like the Yin Soul unable to remain completely indifferent.

The Yin Soul did not continue to violently invade Lin Yang's soul; it seemed to have enough patience and wanted to consume the power of [Realm] little by little first.

Lin Yang did not understand why the Yin Soul did not violently invade his soul and directly pull out [Realm].

But since the Yin Soul did not do so, naturally he was happy to see it.

He tried to fish for information.

But unfortunately, although the Yin Soul spoke more this time, it was mainly directed at [Realm], and it still disdained to pay attention to him.

Time passed bit by bit.

The power of [Realm] began to show signs of weakening.

Lin Yang sighed inwardly.

In the past, every time [Realm] acted, it was invincible; it was one of his final trump cards. But facing the Yin Soul, it still fell into a disadvantage.

This Yin Soul was simply unfathomably strong!

Even with [Realm] erupting with unprecedented power, it was still unable to fully contend with this Yin Soul.

Lin Yang's heart sank again.

Given the current situation, he really could not see any hope.

The Yin Soul came prepared this time; as soon as it appeared, it suppressed and isolated the space, preventing the possibility of being discovered.

Otherwise, the fluctuations here would definitely not have been hidden from the Hall Masters of the Human Ancestor Hall.

...

[Realm] was still constantly feeding back power to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang's cultivation began to climb rapidly.

However, under these circumstances, even if he were to raise his cultivation by another major realm, or even two major realms, it would be useless.

The Yin Soul did not stop him either.

Clearly, even if Lin Yang were to become a Ancient Realm Hall Master right on the spot now, it would not care.

Instead, as the power of [Realm] was consumed, it began to increase the pressure on Lin Yang's soul bit by bit, wanting to force [Realm] to reveal itself.

[Realm], on the other hand, hid itself deeper and deeper into the depths of Lin Yang's soul.

Seeing this, the Yin Soul still did not care at all, just applying pressure bit by bit.

Lin Yang's soul became the battlefield for the Yin Soul and [Realm].

This feeling was not pleasant.

Lin Yang constantly calculated in his heart how to break the situation.

But in the face of absolute power, there was really no good way.

Although [Realm] was protecting his soul, it was obvious that the consumption of [Realm]'s power had an end.

When the power was exhausted, that would be when the Yin Soul succeeded.

"Is there still no escaping this calamity?" Lin Yang sighed in his heart.

His cultivation, under the feedback of [Realm], was about to reach the Wei Realm.

If it were at ordinary times, he would certainly be happy about it.

But now, he even hoped that [Realm] would stop the feedback to him, because the power feedback was useless to him; it would be better for [Realm] to keep it for itself and persist as long as possible.

Time passed slowly.

The power of [Realm] declined significantly again.

Although he could not see the Yin Soul's face clearly, Lin Yang could already feel the smile on the Yin Soul.

It seemed as if it was already certain of success.

And as the power of [Realm] continued to decline, Lin Yang's consciousness began to become gradually blurred again.

After all, the Yin Soul was still constantly applying pressure to his soul; although it did not directly invade, he still found it somewhat unbearable.

Suddenly.

A touch of silver-white light emerged from the void, like a beam of light piercing through the darkness shrouded by the Yin Soul's power.

At the same time, a cold voice resounded in the heavens and earth:

"Old immortal from the Yin Realm, not staying honestly over there, yet you dare to cross the boundary to harm people? Do you really think there is no one in this era who can deal with you?"

Along with the voice, a figure with long silver-white hair descended from the sky and landed slowly.

It was Yue You.

Lin Yang, in his hazy consciousness, saw this figure and his spirits were instantly lifted.

The Yin Soul's black mist trembled a few times, and it stared at Yue You, saying in disbelief:

"On your body... is the brand of the ancient era?"

"You are... a survivor from that era??"

"But how is this possible?"

"A survivor from that era cannot have such abundant aura as you!"

"Who exactly are you?!"

The Yin Soul revealed an unprecedented look of gravity.
