199: Let the Demon King taste the power of the beast tide.

"Underworld Two, since you took his knife, disguise yourself as him."

Lin Chuan instructed.

Then he turned and said to Li Han, "Next, you must fully assist him in replacing you. Keep helping him until you trick another bishop into coming over. At that time, I will release you. How about that? Ha ha ha..."

Hearing Lin Chuan's laughter, even as a Nether Spirit, Li Han felt a chill in his heart, and his body trembled uncontrollably: "You truly are a devil!"

Lin Chuan could actually use a soul seed to control him, but since Li Han was originally a King-rank Beast Tamer, he would occupy a slot for a King-level soul seed, which was not worth it.

Doing it this way, however, was more interesting.

Lin Chuan did not want to participate in the specific operation; it was too troublesome. Whether they succeeded or failed depended on their own acting talent.

"Nether One."

"Present!"

"Next, gradually encroach upon the Elementary areas controlled by You Qi, focusing primarily on the King-level Nether Beasts. Do not touch the Temple Nether King for now, but you can appropriately give him a warning."

"As you command."

Most of You Qi's combat power was accumulated through the bonuses from eleven Elementary areas and one Intermediate area. If he suddenly lost the support of the Elementary areas, he would be unable to suppress the other Mid-level Temple Nether Kings.

After giving these instructions, Lin Chuan took only two King-level crystal cores and left.

His thoughts had long flown outside the city.

The vast mountains outside the city were rich in natural resources and completely incomparable to the Nether Soil.

Above the Nether Soil, there were only Nether Spirits and Nether Beasts, and nothing else.

Staying there for too long would truly make one abnormal... Lin Chuan had originally considered using the water of life to transform a few King-levels to act as bodyguards, but he hadn't expected Old Hei to be so formidable that he didn't need them at all.

After a massive shopping spree, he headed straight outside the city... Above the Nether Soil, Leng Hong was flying in mid-air.

Looking at the sparse Nether Beasts below, he still couldn't believe his eyes.

If Xia Yuan hadn't supported him last night, he might have actually collapsed.

Lord of the Nether Soil? A dozen Nether Kings? The Nether Soil crisis has been resolved?

Was this truly news that an old man approaching two hundred years old like him could bear?

Unconsciously, he flew above the Nether God Temple.

Just then, a figure flew up from below.

It was Ming Shuo.

"Your Excellency, why have you come here?"

Ming Shuo asked.

"Sleeping Nether King? Quite polite!"

Ming Shuo: ???

What the hell is a Sleeping Nether King!

"My name is Ming Shuo!"

Ming Shuo gritted his teeth.

"What is your relationship with Lin Chuan?"

"He is my master!"

"Hmm... Lin Chuan is my student and Junior. Since that's the case, you, as his servant, are also my Junior... Isn't that right? Hahahaha..."

Leng Hong was probably laughing the most heartily he ever had in his life.

"Hmph..."

Ming Shuo didn't want to say anything more to him and simply turned his head and left.

This old man was much stronger than him, yet he had specifically come just to gain a verbal advantage... Lin Chuan did not choose to return to District 81 in the north first, but instead chose the eastern direction to leave the city.

Wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a backpack, he was like an ordinary student tourist, taking the train to the outer city area.

The entirety of Xuanwu City was roughly circular, spanning thousands of kilometers in diameter—an area comparable to a superpower in his previous life.

Except for the outer city area occasionally being threatened by some Yao Beasts, the inner and middle city areas enjoyed peace, harmony, and prosperity.

Outside the train window, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and inside the carriage, laughter often rang out.

If such a remaining paradise for the Human Race were to be destroyed, it would truly be a pity... Lin Chuan rested his chin in his hand, watching the scenery rushing past the window, and feeling the long-lost atmosphere of the mortal world.

In less than two hours, Lin Chuan arrived at the foot of the city wall.

He glanced back, then instantly teleported several hundred kilometers away.

"Old Hei, come out!"

Subsequently, the fifty-meter-tall Old Hei was summoned. This was its current normal size, only considered Intermediate among the Monarch Rank.

Old Hei took a deep breath, also feeling quite nostalgic for the wilderness environment.

Without Lin Chuan's command, its body gradually began to inflate.

Five hundred meters, one thousand meters, two thousand meters, four thousand five hundred meters!

This was Old Hei's limit.

"Damn it, I haven't gotten up yet!"

Lin Chuan looked helplessly at Old Hei's carapace, which was seven or eight hundred meters high.

There was no choice; he still needed White Moon's help.

Although he currently possessed a King-level physique, he did not have King-level flying ability.

He was just a small Diamond Rank.

When Lin Chuan landed on Old Hei's back, it was no different from standing on a small island.

"Let's go!"

"Roar..."

Subsequently, the small island, measuring over four thousand meters in diameter, began to move forward, flattening a large swath of mountain forest with every step.

Soon, the scene from inside the Secret Realm was repeated once more.

Countless Yao Beasts scattered in chaos, wishing they had grown a few extra pairs of wings; those who ran too slowly were crushed to death...

As Old Hei advanced, Lin Chuan finally received a long-awaited notification for new skills:

[Discovered matching skill - Mountain Forest Affinity. Copy?]

[Copy successful!]

[Discovered matching skill - Mud Mire Technique. Copy?]

[Discovered matching skill - Group Acceleration. Copy?]

... Lin Chuan was overwhelmed by the rapid succession of notifications and simply agreed to all of them.

Whether they were useful or not, he would copy them first.

He didn't have time to check which Yao Beasts he had stolen the skills from; they were likely crushed to death the moment the copying occurred.

Several kilometers away, a hunting party was carefully concealed.

Watching the monstrous beast push straight through the area, they dared not make the slightest sound.

They even held in their farts...

Finally, after the monstrous beast had moved far away.

"Hoo... Hoo..."

The group of Beast Tamers finally couldn't help but gasp for air.

"Damn it, who farted?"

"It stinks! Cough, cough..." Clearly, they had been choked by the flatulence.

"Don't worry about these trivial matters for now. Did all of you record a video?"

"Captain, the cameras on us were on the whole time. Captain, speaking of which, was that you who farted...?"

"Scram! This hunting operation is ending early. We're returning to the city first."

The Captain immediately made the final decision.

Naturally, the others had no objections.

The terrifying giant beast that had just passed by truly shocked them.

That massive size, appearing near the ring city, driving away a large number of Yao Beasts.

If the beast hadn't been moving away from the ring city, they would have likely assumed that a Yao King had launched a beast tide attack on the city.

It was indeed a beast tide, but it wasn't aimed at Xuanwu City; it was aimed at the Yao Race.

Didn't those Yao Kings love to launch beast tides at the drop of a hat? Now it was time for them to taste what it was like to have a beast tide charging at their backs.

Lin Chuan had decided before coming out that as long as he didn't encounter a Yao King that posed too great a threat to Old Hei, he would charge fiercely.

If he did encounter one, it didn't matter. He had killed Yao Kings before!

Right now, there were only a few small fry; this was just the beginning.

As for how far he could go, Lin Chuan wasn't sure, but he didn't care.

The essence of this trip was just for fun, to relieve the pressure that the Yao Race had created over a long time.

Now, Old Hei's combat power was no less than that of an ordinary King-level, and it was continuously improving.

Above the Nether Soil, the situation was also slowly opening up.

Lin Chuan finally had enough capital to confront and unveil the mysterious veil of this world.

And then, ruthlessly trample it!
