163: Chapter 163 The Demise of Yamamoto Company, Breakthrough to Mid-Ninth Rank

Lin Yuan swung his fists left and right at Yamamoto Isoroku's pig-like face, hitting him with sheer delight while muttering under his breath:

"I'll show you 'ferocious'! I'll show you how to act tough! I'll show you how to bully the Evergreen Society! I'll show you why you freaking have to get a VIP membership..."

Yamamoto Isoroku, who had been beaten beyond recognition, suddenly snapped back to his senses at this moment and roared with wide eyes:

"Nani? VIP? Impossible, we're all free!!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately delivered a massive slap: "I'll give you freaking free! Is this the kind of content you can watch for free?"

Yamamoto Isoroku wanted to cry but had no tears. He got beaten for getting a VIP, and he got beaten for being free. What the hell do you actually want?

Just as Lin Yuan was slapping him with gusto, Yamamoto Isoroku finally mustered a sliver of spiritual energy. With a flick of his wrist, a small black ball appeared in his hand, which he violently crushed.

Bang!!

With a loud explosion, smoke instantly filled the air, and Yamamoto Isoroku's figure abruptly vanished.

"Jie jie jie jie... I, Yamamoto Isoroku, will be back!!!" Yamamoto Isoroku's sinister laughter echoed from within the smoke.

"Tch!... You think you're Big Bad Wolf? Stay right here for me, Profound Mystery Folding!"

Lin Yuan shouted low, and a silver cage plunged directly into the smoke, trapping Yamamoto Isoroku right where he was.

"What is this? How could it possibly break my Yamamoto Society's Supreme Ninjutsu?! This is absolutely impossible!!" Yamamoto Isoroku shrieked.

At this time, on the ground, the members of the Yamamoto Society had all stepped out of their buildings due to the commotion in the sky, watching the battle above.

Their faces were ashen. They never expected their invincible president to fall to a point where even escaping was a luxury.

Some female teachers with pillows tied around their waists shed tears of sorrow...

"Impossible? How could you arrogant and ignorant fools understand the methods of the powerhouses of my Great Xia? You can go to your grave in peace now."

Lin Yuan also lost interest in continuing to play with him. He raised his hand and blasted a [Profound Mystery Void-Breaking Palm] toward him.

After a thunderous roar, space instantly collapsed. Yamamoto Isoroku vanished without a trace, not even a speck of dust remaining.

The Yamamoto Society members below were instantly stunned. Tears rolled down their cheeks as they stared at the invincible figure in the sky, their eyes filled with hatred.

Seeing their gazes, Lin Yuan smiled disdainfully. You reap what you sow.

"What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting for me to teach you how to do your job?" Lin Yuan glanced at the dazed Xie Ming and spoke with dissatisfaction.

"Ah? Oh, right..."

Xie Ming was still in shock over Lin Yuan's method of instantly killing Yamamoto Isoroku when he heard Lin Yuan's cold voice. He was immediately broken into a cold sweat, quickly composed himself, and began a ruthless harvest with his long blade.

...

The Yamamoto Society had over a thousand members, all of whom were slaughtered by Xie Ming in an instant. Lin Yuan casually threw out a few palm strikes, blasting several Eighth-stage Martial Artists who were trying to hide with ninjutsu into smithereens.

Thus, the Yamamoto Society was completely wiped out...

Lin Yuan swallowed all the soul bodies in one go, and the ability points on his system panel immediately increased to 20 million.

The ability points converted from human soul bodies were doubled, but even so, it was only 10 million ability points—still a bit too few.

From Yamamoto Isoroku's memories, Lin Yuan learned that the Yamamoto Society still had an old president in the Black Abyss, though he was in seclusion in a hidden location.

"Old president? Since I don't know your location, I'll just wait for you to come find me. When the time comes, I'll send you down to reunite with your members," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

...

After Xie Ming finished cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Yuan sent him back to oversee the Evergreen Society, while he himself went to the Lower Three Paths. Today was the day fierce beasts would swarm out of the Lower Three Paths.

When he arrived at the Lower Three Paths, the cleanup mission hadn't started yet. He wasn't in a hurry to go in; he'd let the other martial artists do the cleaning, and once they were done, he'd go in to leech the soul bodies for free.

Arriving at a nearby restaurant, Lin Yuan ordered a fierce beast meat set meal and then projected his divine sense into his storage space.

At this moment, First Dragon and Second Dragon were lying comfortably on a mountain of beast crystals, crunching on them...

"You two little guys are certainly living comfortably. This won't do. Even if I feed you up to the Beast God realm, you'll just be useless without combat experience. How about I send you two back to the Fierce Beast World to train?" Lin Yuan said to the two beasts.

First Dragon and Second Dragon immediately jumped up, howling incessantly to express their dissatisfaction.

Through communication with the two giant dragons, Lin Yuan gained a general understanding of the situation in the Fierce Beast World.

The reason the Fierce Beast World invaded the Blue Star was that the Fierce Beast World's space was too small and was overpopulated with fierce beasts, especially as the number of powerful ones grew, putting a heavier burden on the world.

The Fierce Beast World could no longer sustain so many beasts, so the world barriers began to crack, forming the spatial tunnels in the Black Abyss and Void Rifts all over the globe.

In the Fierce Beast World, powerhouses at the Beast God level began to drive out high-level fierce beasts to the Blue Star through the spatial tunnels in the Black Abyss to survive.

First, to clear out the Fierce Beast World, and second, to see if they could conquer the Blue Star world.

Some low-level fierce beasts, unable to stand the crowded and oppressive environment, would also come to the Blue Star through Void Rifts, but there were rarely high-level ones.

There were many Beast God-level powerhouses in the Fierce Beast World, definitely over a thousand. Initially, a small number of them charged into the Blue Star, but they were later killed by the combined efforts of the Blue Star Martial Gods, who then reinforced the spatial tunnels.

They could no longer pass through the spatial tunnels to reach the Blue Star, but if the two worlds were to become completely connected, it would be a disaster for the Blue Star.

On the Blue Star, the total number of Martial Gods globally did not exceed thirty, making it impossible for them to withstand the fierce beasts' advance.

"It seems this Fierce Beast World will always be a menace. Before I head to the starry sky, this trouble must be resolved..."

Lin Yuan thought to himself. After all, his family and friends were still on the Blue Star, and the Blue Star was his home; he couldn't just leave it be.

When the time was about right, Lin Yuan wandered around the Lower Three Paths without any hindrance, leeching a massive wave of ability points.

The ability points on the panel instantly surged to 180 million.

Lin Yuan chose to increase his Martial Arts Level without hesitation, and the data on the panel was immediately updated.

[Martial Arts]: Ninth-stage Middle Phase Martial Artist

[Combat Power]: 3.06 Billion

[ability points]: 30 Million

"3 billion combat power. In the Black Abyss, even among those old monsters in seclusion, I should be able to make a name for myself. Once I break through to the Ninth Stage Peak, I'll start pouring everything into combat power!" Lin Yuan secretly decided.

Over the following period, the Mi Alliance learned that the Yamamoto Society had been wiped out and was very angry. Several frictions broke out between various societies.

The high-level officials of the Mi Society held multiple negotiations with the Divine Dragon Society, but the Divine Dragon Society took a tough stance and didn't give the Mi Society any face at all.

The Lanxi Alliance also condemned the Xia Alliance, believing the Xia Alliance's methods were too bloody and went against the harmony of heaven.

But the Xia Alliance presented a united front against outsiders. Harmony of heaven with enemies? Our Xia Alliance was originally peace-loving, but you were all preparing to join forces to attack us—shouldn't we strike first to gain the upper hand?

Having received instructions from Lin Yuan, the Divine Dragon Society even directly spoke harsh words: "What if we wiped out your Yamamoto Society? If you keep acting up in front of our Xia Alliance, we'll wipe out the Mi Society too!"

For a time, the situation in the Black Abyss actually calmed down, but everyone knew this was just the calm before the storm.

The Mi Alliance alone couldn't take down the Xia Alliance, but joining forces with the Lanxi Alliance involved various issues of profit distribution and the mutual checks and balances between the two major alliances.

So the three parties currently maintained a balanced situation, but the time to break this balance was drawing closer and closer.

Over the course of a month, Lin Yuan hadn't been idle; he had grown to an extremely terrifying level.

Regarding the coming storm, Lin Yuan only wanted to say with a smile:

"It's just a light drizzle, no big deal~~~"
