195: Chapter 195 The Tomb of the Lord of Slaughter, Devouring the Lord of Slaughter

Lin Yuan's clone plunged into the canyon. The surrounding Bone-Corroding Wind and Spirit-Extinguishing Torrent surprisingly did not harm him immediately.

But he could still feel the skin on the surface of his body constantly being corroded and weathered.

"At this rate of corrosion, the clone should be able to last for about fifteen minutes without taking damage, and my main body will last even longer. That's completely enough time to explore a canyon. Let's do it!!"

Lin Yuan immediately made a decision. He clenched his fist, maximized all his enhancements, and with a thought, instantly swapped positions with the clone below in the canyon.

The scene blurred, and Lin Yuan's main body appeared in the canyon. After briefly adapting to the strong winds within the canyon, he rushed toward one end.

In just a few breaths of time, Lin Yuan arrived at the end of the canyon. Looking at the faintly red glowing barrier before him, Lin Yuan revealed a slight smile.

It really is another space. This might also be some kind of secret realm. I should go in and take a look.

Without hesitation, he directly utilized the Space Profundity to analyze the red barrier.

Sure enough.

This red barrier is usually hidden and only reveals itself when the soul beads erupt. No wonder no one discovered it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately wrapped himself in the Space Profundity and stepped into the space in one stride...

Upon entering the space, Lin Yuan immediately frowned. This was a bluestone passage, and the Bone-Corroding Wind was actually blowing within it.

Lin Yuan did not stop, rushing rapidly inward. Before long, a huge, enclosed grand hall appeared before him, somewhat resembling... an underground palace.

In the center of the underground palace, a colossal statue over thirty meters tall stood there, holding a giant bone sword beneath its hands, which was resting on the ground.

Both the Bone-Corroding Wind and the Spirit-Extinguishing Torrent were being released from this giant sword.

Lin Yuan arrived before the statue in a single step and looked up at it.

The statue depicted a middle-aged man with an extraordinary aura, his entire being radiating an invincible dominance. Paired with the giant bone sword in his hand, a killing aura rushed toward him.

"Kid Lin! Leave quickly! There's something wrong with this statue!" Chu Yunfeng's urgent voice sounded in his mind.

But before Lin Yuan could move, the statue's eyes suddenly turned into two masses of scarlet blood. Lin Yuan immediately felt his heart filled with tyranny, and his rationality was on the verge of being lost at that moment.

"Hmph!"

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, and his eyes instantly turned blood-red. The three stars in his Dantian suddenly shone brightly, and the heavenly god phantom behind him emerged from his body. In an instant, Lin Yuan activated his strongest state.

That tyrannical emotion was immediately suppressed, allowing him to maintain his clarity.

"Interesting little fellow, you are quite good..."

Suddenly, a hoarse and ancient voice rang out.

"Who!?"

Lin Yuan looked around vigilantly, but he felt that it was this statue speaking.

"I am the Lord of Slaughter. Little fellow, have you heard my name?" the voice spoke again.

"Lord of Slaughter?! It's actually him... Kid Lin, he was the former wielder of the heavenly slaughter sword, a Law Realm expert!" Chu Yunfeng immediately reminded him.

"Lord of Slaughter? Law Realm?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.

"The Law Realm is the stage above the Profound Mystery Realm, and this Lord of Slaughter was an absolute powerhouse among Law Realm experts, a Law Realm Ninth Stage expert. However, he should have died long ago, otherwise the heavenly slaughter sword wouldn't have been lost."

Lin Yuan looked toward the statue's eyes and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"So it is Senior Lord of Slaughter. You are a Law Realm Ninth Stage expert; of course, I have heard your name. May I ask what guidance you have for me?"

"Jie jie jie jie... How many years has it been? I have been trapped in this dark, sunless place. You are the first person to come to my tomb as a guest, and you are very interesting. At such a young age, you have comprehended the Slaughter Domain; we are quite fated,"

the Lord of Slaughter laughed wickedly.

"Oh? Since we are so fated, does Senior Lord of Slaughter have a welcoming gift to present to this junior?"

Lin Yuan relaxed immediately upon learning that the Lord of Slaughter was dead. This booming voice must undoubtedly be a soul body, and the one thing he feared least were soul bodies.

"You are quite candid, asking me for a gift right away. However, I find you pleasing to the eye, little fellow. I can give you everything I have. But, you must also give me something in return."

"Oh? May I ask what the Senior desires?"

"I want your... physical body!"

As the voice fell, a crimson soul body suddenly rushed out of the statue and instantly grabbed Lin Yuan by the neck.

"Little fellow, to reach the Transcendent Realm at such a young age, your Slaughter aura is pure, even more perfect than the Way of Slaughter I comprehended back then. And your physical body is so powerful—it's perfect! I am extremely satisfied with this body of yours!"

The Lord of Slaughter immediately showed a greedy expression.

Lin Yuan, however, remained calm and smiled faintly: "Senior, you may not know this, but I have a sword that you desperately want here. I wonder if you'd like to see it?"

"Oh? What sword?"

The Lord of Slaughter's expression calmed down, and he asked in a deep voice. Lin Yuan's reaction was too abnormal; there was no trace of fear. Could this sword be tricky?

"The heavenly slaughter sword,"

Lin Yuan said calmly.

"What?! How do you know about the heavenly slaughter? It's on you! Tell me quickly!!"

The Lord of Slaughter increased the force on his hand.

A dilapidated wooden sword, filled with baleful energy and flowing with scarlet energy, appeared in Lin Yuan's hand.

Upon seeing the heavenly slaughter sword, the Lord of Slaughter immediately released his grip on Lin Yuan's neck. He stared at the heavenly slaughter sword, trembling all over, an expression of extreme excitement on his face.

"Jie jie jie jie... I never thought that I, the Lord of Slaughter, would not only obtain a perfect physical body but also have my ultimate treasure, the heavenly slaughter, return to my hands again. Achieving the emperor seat is just around the corner! I will slaughter all Emperor Realm experts in this world and become the sole sovereign of this heaven and earth! Hahahaha..."

The Lord of Slaughter laughed wildly toward the void.

"I say, have you laughed enough? It's time you tasted the bitterness of joy turning into sorrow,"

Lin Yuan suddenly smiled mockingly.

Immediately after,

The Spirit Devouring skill was activated directly, and an irresistible force instantly enveloped the Lord of Slaughter.

The Lord of Slaughter's face, which had been extremely excited moments before, suddenly twisted, revealing deep terror.

"No! What is this power!!? No! Don't devour me! I haven't become the sovereign of this world yet, I am not reconciled!!"

Listening to the Lord of Slaughter's tragic screams, Lin Yuan's indifferent voice sounded:

"Do you know what it means for joy to turn into sorrow? To let you experience the thrill of one moment in heaven and the next in hell, I have tolerated you for a long time. If you hadn't been hostile toward me from the start, I might have spared your life. But alas, you deserve to die!"

"No! Spare me! I am willing to be your servant, to be at your beck and call for eternity! Please don't kill me!!"

The Lord of Slaughter struggled desperately.

"If you had this awareness earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Unfortunately, it is all too late."

Lin Yuan's gaze suddenly condensed. He opened his mouth and sucked in sharply, swallowing the Lord of Slaughter's soul body completely in one gulp...
