707 : Failure

Chapter 707

Failure
Translated by Jouissance of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

After the Qilin Clan withdrew, Black Spider became nothing more than a paper tiger. Lin Ming left Black Spider to the six great powers. With their current strength and numbers, Black Spider’s defeat was merely a matter of time. He and Lin Gu, on the other hand, headed for the central peak.

The two soon arrived at the palace on the peak. Lin Ming had lived in this palace for several thousand years, so he knew the place like the back of his hand. It didn’t take him long to figure out where Lin ShaoYi would choose to undergo secluded cultivation.

Apart from being where the Qilin Lord traditionally lived, the central peak was also where their ancestors were buried. The Qilin Clan was the emperor among emperor beasts, and even after death, their bodies still contained huge amounts of power. Thus, the place where they were buried was also abundant with power.

If Lin ShaoYi wanted to ascend to the Almighty, then the best place for secluded cultivation was the burial place behind the palace. At this thought, Lin Ming’s expression darkened. Considering how power crazy Lin ShaoYi was, who knows what he might do to the bones of their ancestors.

The two sped over. From afar, they could see a dense miasma behind the palace. The burial place of their ancestors was now enveloped in malignant energy.

Lin Ming raised his head, looking at the sky. Though it was a rather clear day, he could just about feel that the spiritual energy that made up the heavens and the earth was restless, the clouds seemed distorted and the wind brought with it gusts of heat. It was as if the entire world had somehow changed. That wasn’t the only thing. He also saw countless barely visible white threads interlacing in the air, like a massive spider web.

Seeing this, Lin Ming could help the shock that arose in him. Remembering what he had heard before, he deduced that these thin white lines were probably the rules. Once a new Almighty was born, the rules would be remade. Since he had never seen it before, he hadn’t been sure. But it seemed that it was actually true.

Was Lin ShaoYi really about to succeed?

“We have to go and stop him!” Lin Gu, like him, felt a deep sense of worry. His cultivation level was lower than Lin Ming’s so he couldn’t see the white lines of the rules, but he could feel a sense of foreboding. His instincts told him that he had to stop Lin ShaoYi.

The two immediately ran over. There were no barriers around the Qilin Clan’s burial place, so the two kicked the door open and dashed in, onl to be shocked by the sight they were met with.

Lin ShaoYi sat, legs folded, in the middle of a magic array, dark red energy swirling around him. The magic array had already stopped what it had been doing, because the TongTian Emperor had become no more than a pile of bones in front of him. Though his recognizable features were all gone, it was easy to guess his identity. To think that high and mighty TongTian Emperor would fall so low!

Glancing at the magic array, Lin Ming’s gaze turned to ice. He was very familiar with this magic array because he had seen it before in the Qilin Clan’s forbidden grounds. It was banned by the Qilin Clan because it was too evil. It had to absorb another’s cultivation base to activate.

The Qilin Clan’s ancestors were buried under here, where Lin ShaoYi had set his magic array. He was clearly using the energy left here by their ancestors to activate the magic array. In the Qilin Clan, this sort of behavior was basically high treason and perpetrators would usually be banished.

That was when Lin ShaoYi opened his eyes, his black irises had turned blood red, staring directly at Lin Ming and Lin Gu. A malicious smile appeared on his handsome face, like the devil, and he suddenly began to laugh uproariously, “Lin Ming, you were pretty quick in getting here, but too bad, you’re still too late!”
