197: Chapter 197 Dealing with the Holy Crowned Lord

In a hidden corner of the Deep Realm, a tall humanoid figure was currently hiding here.

The Holy Crown Exalted Lord had been hiding here for thousands of years.

Throughout these millennia, he had been constantly worried that Lin Sheng would come looking for him, so he didn't dare to leave for even a moment.

Looking at the chain embedded deep in his chest, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's face was a mixture of fear and hatred.

His Divine Kingdom had already been destroyed, thus losing a major source of his power.

Relying solely on absorbing energy in the Deep Realm, his injuries had not only failed to improve but had actually worsened.

The Holy Crown Exalted Lord wanted to go to the Outer Universe to spread his faith once more, but the moment he thought of Lin Sheng, he immediately abandoned the idea.

He didn't know if Lin Sheng could track him through the chain, but since so many years had passed and the other party hadn't found him, there was a high probability that they couldn't.

However, if he went to the Outer Universe, it would be hard to say.

After much thought, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord still felt that hiding in the Deep Realm was safer.

But just then, an extremely intense sense of crisis suddenly rose in the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's heart.

The Holy Crown Exalted Lord was horrified, and before he could make a move, a sharp claw suddenly lunged out from the void behind him.

Faced with the claw, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord didn't even have time to resist before being grabbed in the hand of the claw's owner.

The Holy Crown Exalted Lord thought Lin Sheng had come to kill him, but seeing that the being who caught him wasn't Lin Sheng, his will to survive prompted him to speak:

"Friend, we have no grievances or enmity. Why are you attacking me?"

"Why don't you put me down first, friend? If there's anything, we can talk it over properly."

"If there is anything you need my help with, I will certainly do my best to assist you."

Now that his life was in the other party's hands, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord lowered his posture significantly, speaking to Nan Feng in an almost pleading manner.

But Nan Feng remained unmoved by the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's pleas.

He was merely a "Late Golden Immortal" built up by "Incense Offerings." In the outside world, Nan Feng wouldn't even spare him a second glance.

Seeing Nan Feng unmoved, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord did not give up; he even offered to become Nan Feng's servant.

In the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's view, even if he was heavily injured, he wasn't completely powerless to resist when facing a Master God.

Since the being before him could subdue him before he could even react, submitting to this existence didn't seem like a loss.

Perhaps he could even use this person's hand to get rid of Lin Sheng.

The Holy Crown Exalted Lord's imagination was wonderful, but the reality was that just as he proposed becoming Nan Feng's servant, Lin Sheng's figure appeared there.

"Holy Crown Exalted Lord."

Lin Sheng spoke, five heads speaking simultaneously, as an eerie atmosphere began to spread.

Hearing someone call him, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord was stunned.

He looked in the direction of the voice and asked in confusion:

"Who are you? Do we know each other?"

It wasn't surprising that the Holy Crown Exalted Lord would ask this; when Lin Sheng fought him before, he had always used his consciousness.

But this time, what the Holy Crown Exalted Lord saw was Lin Sheng's true body.

Any of the auras on Lin Sheng's body at this moment gave the Holy Crown Exalted Lord a feeling of extreme danger.

Until now, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord believed that the reason Lin Sheng could heavily injure him was only because of that section of chain.

Without that section of chain, the other party would be nothing.

Therefore, upon seeing Lin Sheng's true body, besides finding the voice somewhat familiar, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord didn't think of Lin Sheng at all.

However, Lin Sheng didn't hide anything and directly informed the other party of his identity.

"We know each other."

Lin Sheng said calmly.

With a thought, the chain pinned to the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's chest began to writhe irregularly.

A heart-piercing pain instantly spread throughout the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's entire body.

However, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord could no longer care about the physical pain.

Because at this moment, his heart was already filled with despair.

If, before Lin Sheng revealed his identity, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord still had a sliver of hope for survival...

Then now, after witnessing Lin Sheng's terror, all that remained in the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's heart was despair.

He didn't understand; since Lin Sheng clearly possessed this level of power, why did he stand by and watch the Ximi God be killed?

Lin Sheng took the despairing Holy Crown Exalted Lord from Nan Feng's hand and did not kill him immediately.

Divine light flowed in his eyes, and in his sight, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord had been decomposed into strings of visualized information.

Lin Sheng slowly reached out, holding a black thread between his fingers.

Controlling the black thread, he wrapped it around one of the pieces of information on the Holy Crown Exalted Lord.

In an instant, that piece of information was devoured by the black thread.

The Holy Crown Exalted Lord shuddered all over, looking around in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Seeing this scene, Nan Feng subconsciously distanced himself a bit from Lin Sheng.

After the first success, Lin Sheng again controlled the black thread, devouring the pieces of information on the Holy Crown Exalted Lord one by one.

Information about realm divisions, information about his own strength, information about who he was...

As Lin Sheng waved the black thread for the last time, the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's expression had become completely dazed.

He looked around in confusion, looking at Lin Sheng and Nan Feng with bewilderment.

Except for leaving a few special pieces of information for the Holy Crown Exalted Lord, all other information on his body had been devoured by Lin Sheng.

In this state, even if the Holy Crown Exalted Lord was full of doubts, he wouldn't ask Lin Sheng and Nan Feng anything.

Because the information regarding the concept of "communication" on his body had also been stripped away by Lin Sheng.

Nan Feng gave the Holy Crown Exalted Lord a sympathetic look but did nothing.

Although he didn't know the grievances between Lin Sheng and the Holy Crown Exalted Lord, since Lin Sheng could go to such lengths, the enmity between the two must be significant.

"Let's go."

Carrying the Holy Crown Exalted Lord, Lin Sheng was the first to leave the Deep Realm.

Seeing this, Nan Feng also followed Lin Sheng's lead and left the place.

Upon arriving outside, Lin Sheng acted again, devouring the Holy Crown Exalted Lord's power and thoughtfully leaving him with the strength of a First-rank Transcendent as a baseline.

After finishing all this, Lin Sheng clapped his hands and casually tossed the Holy Crown Exalted Lord onto a planet he had prepared in advance.

On that planet, he had a grand gift prepared for the Holy Crown Exalted Lord.

Lin Sheng had spent a few days earlier collecting some magic beasts in this world that looked like "pigs."

He put all the collected magic beasts together on a single planet and transformed that planet into one that emitted aphrodisiac substances at all times.
