Chapter 285: What a Weak God!
Lin Jiufeng still decided to take a look. The God of Darkness, the mastermind behind the Primordial God Mountain more than 10,000 years ago, was still quite attractive to him.
The flames on the skeleton’s body extinguished a little. It raised its hand and invited Lin Jiufeng into the depths of the hall.
“This bone hall was personally built by the God of Darkness back then. It’s a large array formation that can heal his injuries.”
“According to the time, he should have recovered long ago. Although he won’t recover to his peak, he should have recovered to the Immortal Realm. But he underestimated the power and terrifying might of the Kunlun Immortal. The repercussions of that battle back then have always troubled him. Until now, it hasn’t disappeared.”
The skeleton spoke as it walked. There was a trace of schadenfreude in its tone. It was obvious that the pressure that the God of Darkness gave it was very deep. As a result, even until now, he would feel a trace of happiness when he saw that the God of Darkness was in so much pain.
Lin Jiufeng listened quietly as he followed the skeleton to the centermost area.
A huge black hole appeared. A terrifying black smoke appeared, and a huge pressure emitted from it. Underneath this black hole, pounding sounds came.
The sound of a heartbeat.
This was what Lin Jiufeng heard.
But in the very next moment, a cold voice sounded. “Who did you bring here?”
Rumble!
This voice spread throughout the hall, rumbling and producing fluctuations.
The heartbeat in the black hole became even more intense.
It was obvious that the God of Darkness below had sensed Lin Jiufeng’s arrival and was enraged.
The skeleton and Lin Jiufeng heard the anger hidden in this voice.
“He already knows now,” the skeleton said. It was calm and composed, neither afraid nor worried.
“Didn’t you say that the God of Darkness controls your life and death? Why aren’t you afraid?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“If he kills me, then I will thank him. After all, I’ve long had enough of this life of neither life nor death. But it’s a pity that he won’t kill me,” the skeleton said helplessly.
“He still needs me to protect him and help him look after this place. If he kills me, he won’t be able to recover to his peak alone. Even if I betray him and bring you here, he won’t kill me.” The skeleton self-mocked.
Boom!
A stream of black smoke rushed up and condensed into a huge face that looked ferocious. Its two eyes were like the entrances to Hell. There were raging flames burning inside as it glared at the skeleton.
“Do you really think that I don’t dare to kill you? You are very confident of this?” The God of Darkness asked ferociously.
The skeleton watched calmly and said, “Then kill me.”
The God of Darkness chuckled, his killing intent undisguised. The black smoke was about to solidify. He turned his head and stared at Lin Jiufeng. His gaze changed all of a sudden as he said gently, “Do you want to become a member of the God Race? I can transform you. The body of a god is far superior to that of a human. As long as you transform into a god, you will immediately be able to break through to the immortal realm and replace this skeleton. Everything in this Small World will be yours.”
He tempted Lin Jiufeng.
The God of Darkness really wanted to kill the skeleton, but the skeleton was speaking the truth.
The God of Darkness needed a helper or subordinate, so he came to tempt Lin Jiufeng.
He used his identity as a god to help Lin Jiufeng breakthrough to the Immortal Realm to seduce him.
Lin Jiufeng watched calmly. He pointed at the skeleton’s body and said, “Transform into a god by you and become like him, a skeleton that can neither live nor die?”
“Of course not!” The God of Darkness’s expression became serious.
“He was just transformed into the God Race, the most simple type of transformation, the type that can’t stand up to scrutiny at all. But you are different. I will transform you into the God Race while still maintaining your body. You won’t become a skeleton,” the God of Darkness promised.
“Yeap, he’ll keep your body, but it will gradually decay and slowly become a skeleton. Wasn’t my body like this back then? I was already at the Immortal Realm, but I still couldn’t preserve my body. It rotted after decades. Is this your promise?” The skeleton mocked.
“Shut up!!!”
The God of Darkness was enraged. He couldn’t take it anymore. He directly shouted and energy rushed out. Black smoke shot out like a spear, wanting to teach the skeleton a deep lesson.
Boom!
But Lin Jiufeng took a step forward and pointed. A sword energy burst out and directly cut off the black smoke.
“Your current opponent is me.” Lin Jiufeng looked at the God of Darkness and smiled slightly.
The face of the God of Darkness darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, “Are you really going to give up the chance of becoming a god and become my enemy?”
“Compared to becoming a skeleton-like god, I think killing a true god will make me happier,” Lin Jiufeng said at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.
“You are seeking death!” The God of Darkness stared straight at Lin Jiufeng. A violent emotion appeared in his eyes.
“You are just a ninth stage False Immortal, yet you think you are worthy of behaving atrociously in front of me? If this was back then, I would have crushed you to death with a single finger,” the God of Darkness said with a dark expression.
“You also said that it’s back then. Back then, you were very powerful, but weren’t you still killed by the Kunlun Immortal? If the current you could easily crush me to death, would you still talk nonsense with me for so long?” Lin Jiufeng smiled mockingly, not afraid at all. Looking at the God of Darkness who was bickering with him, he was increasingly certain that the God of Darkness was really as the skeleton had said. He looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside!
The God of Darkness stared at Lin Jiufeng. The huge face was full of gloominess, like the weather before a storm, very terrifying.
Rumble!
His aura was rising, and black energy swept through the hall like raging flames.
The flames were very powerful!
“It’s a bad habit to live too cleverly,” the God of Darkness said coldly.
“But sometimes, smart people live a happier life,” Lin Jiufeng rebutted impolitely.
At this moment, his aura was also spreading. His entire body floated up and he looked directly at the God of Darkness with eyes that were like hooks. Ever since he transcended the Five Decay of the Celestial Being, this was the first time he erupted with his full strength.
Rumble!
In the bone hall, two auras collided. Lin Jiufeng was like the light of the day, illuminating the ground, bringing with him unlimited hope.
As for the God of Darkness, he was like the shroud of hell that no one could escape from. Under the impact of Lin Jiufeng’s aura, midnight descended and darkness shrouded down. The God of Darkness was like the controller of the night, his terrifying aura erupting like lightning.
Dong dong dong!
His heart pounded like thunder.
It was extremely terrifying!
The skeleton slowly retreated at the side. It couldn’t participate. It wasn’t that it wasn’t powerful enough, but because it was controlled by the God of Darkness. Once the God of Darkness forcefully controlled it to participate in the battle, it wouldn’t be able to refuse.
Therefore, the skeleton chose to leave first to avoid such a problem. Now that the God of Darkness was restrained by Lin Jiufeng, it was an opportunity.
The skeleton’s quiet departure was nothing to Lin Jiufeng and the God of Darkness.
“A False Immortal is a False Immortal after all. You won’t be able to withstand a single blow!” The God of Darkness said coldly. He finally couldn’t hide his anger. He decisively attacked. A huge dark palm covered down like the hand of heaven and earth, creating a rumbling sound, wanting to suppress and kill Lin Jiufeng.
“No matter what you say, you are no longer an immortal now. I shall come and kill you now!” Lin Jiufeng didn’t stand on ceremony and said coldly.
In the very next moment, his hands pressed against each other and joined together, then raised above his head. They emitted a dazzling light, like a sun.
A terrifying sword energy shot out from this sun.
Clang!
The sword energy exploded and instantly wiped out the huge dark palm. It was unstoppable. In the very next moment, it directly cut off the huge face formed by the God of Darkness. It didn’t stop there and cut off a part of the bone hall.
This strike changed the surrounding darkness. The bone hall collapsed with a bang. The darkness was banished and sunlight shone in.
“This is impossible…” The God of Darkness roared in disbelief. The surging black smoke erupted and condensed into a face once again. It stared fixedly at Lin Jiufeng, its eyes filled with disbelief.
To be precise, the face was staring at the sun in Lin Jiufeng’s hand.
In this sun, several terrifying sword energies were condensed. Under the energy fluctuations, they were very terrifying.
“This is…” The God of Darkness gritted his teeth, his anger erupting. The dense killing intent in his eyes was undisguised, instantly erupting.
“This is the Kunlun Sword Technique!”
The God of Darkness gritted his teeth and roared.
“That’s right. It seems that you didn’t forget. More than 10,000 years ago, you died under this sword technique and were lucky enough to escape. But now, you will still die under this sword technique,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.
“You can’t escape your destiny!” Lin Jiufeng’s eyes were blazing like the sun, filled with cold killing intent.
Lin Jiufeng, who was at his peak, was so terrifying that he didn’t even know how powerful he was.
“You are the successor of the Kunlun Immortal. You are his backup plan to kill me?” The God of Darkness was about to go crazy. More than 10,000 years ago, he was killed by the Kunlun Immortal using the Kunlun Sword Technique when he was at his peak.
Hence, he might be even more familiar with this sword technique than Lin Jiufeng. It was something that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Now that he saw this sword technique again, how could he remain calm?
The enraged God of Darkness also felt fear in his heart.
This was very incredible. From his birth until now, the God of Darkness had never been afraid of beings at the False Immortal Realm.
Now, he was actually afraid of Lin Jiufeng.
The God of Darkness roared. He took out his magic treasure. A crystal-like ancient pagoda appeared, made of bones. The bones were polished until they were crystal clear, emitting a terrifying aura. In the very next moment, it cut through the sky and attracted the starlight of the night, creating a scene of a celestial river descending. Its aura was like a deep sea, vast and mighty, spreading in the surroundings. This weapon then attacked Lin Jiufeng.
“The reason why the Kunlun Immortal could use the Kunlun Sword Technique to kill me was that his cultivation base wasn’t low. You, a False Immortal, also want to kill me? Dream on! You won’t be able to withstand the might of my immortal artifact!” It was as though the God of Darkness had gone crazy. He took out his immortal artifact and attacked with all his might. The power of the immortal artifact erupted and swept across the bone hall.
At this moment, the bone hall collapsed. Lin Jiufeng and the God of Darkness continued to fight under the clear sky.
“An immortal artifact!”
“And it’s an awakened immortal artifact?”
“In the past, I might have been afraid, but not the current me.”
Lin Jiufeng looked at the bone pagoda. Instead of retreating, he slashed out with his sword.
His sword slashed towards the God of Darkness.
As for the bone pagoda that was suppressing him, Lin Jiufeng raised his hand and forcefully withstood its terrifying might.
“You are dreaming. Using your body to resist an immortal artifact, you are seeking death!” The God of Darkness roared. He tried his best to avoid Lin Jiufeng’s strike, but it was useless. The terrifying might of the Kunlun Sword Technique wasn’t something that he could avoid in his current state.
Pu!
At this moment, the entire face that the God of Darkness had condensed turned bright. A terrifying bloody hole was shot through the glabella. Bright red blood actually flowed out of the condensed face and dripped down. They dripped into the dark hole and dripped onto a beating heart, causing the heart to bear a huge burden.
“No…” The God of Darkness roared in pain. His source energy had been injured. This was a very terrifying matter. His source energy had been severed by the Kunlun Sword Technique.
The current him only hoped that the bone pagoda could smash Lin Jiufeng to death.
But he saw a shocking scene.
The awakened bone pagoda suppressed down. Its aura was peerless, far exceeding that of a ninth stage False Immortal. Under this suppression, it should be able to crush Lin Jiufeng to death.
But the problem was that Lin Jiufeng’s body erupted with terrifying strength. His expression was cold, and the Yuhua Immortal Robe on his body also emanated a biting cold aura. This Yuhua Immortal Robe was also an immortal artifact. At this moment, a portion of it had awakened and blocked the aura of the bone pagoda, protecting Lin Jiufeng from being harmed.
In the very next moment, Lin Jiufeng pierced through the layer of starlight with one hand. With a grab of his large hand, with a cracking sound, he grabbed the bone pagoda and squeezed hard.
“Quiet down!” Lin Jiufeng shouted coldly. He used his body to forcefully resist this awakened immortal artifact. His five fingers exerted strength, and green veins bulged. A huge amount of energy was instilled, and he actually forced the bone pagoda to stop moving with his strength.
Then, Lin Jiufeng looked at the God of Darkness coldly.
Standing in the clouds, Lin Jiufeng was like a real immortal. He looked at the God of Darkness with a cold and terrifying gaze.
“You… This… Impossible. This is an immortal artifact, an awakened immortal artifact! You actually used your body to grab it! What kind of monster are you?” The God of Darkness was shocked as he looked at Lin Jiufeng in horror.
“Nothing in this world is impossible. You have been away from the mortal world for too long, you’re just an old fellow that’s abandoned by the era. Now, die!” Lin Jiufeng strode forward. He raised the bone pagoda as a weapon and directly smashed it down.
At this moment, his body released endless light. Golden blood energy drowned this place, spreading out, surging like an ocean.
Lin Jiufeng’s God’s Domain appeared behind him.
In his God’s Domain, there were phenomena such as the Sea Rising Bright Moon, the Great Dao Descending into the Mortal Realm, the 12 Music of the Gods, and the Immortal King Attacking the Nine Heavens.
Lin Jiufeng’s aura rose infinitely. At this moment, he stepped into the domain of the immortals.
He raised his hand and the bone pagoda smashed down. With a bang, it shattered the face condensed by the God of Darkness and rushed into the black hole.
He wanted to kill the heart of the enemy, the God of Darkness, with his bare hands.
The God of Darkness sensed the danger and roared, “You dare to kill a god?”
“Today, I, a mortal, shall kill a god!!!”
Lin Jiufeng’s expression was stern as he roared loudly. Using his finger as a sword, he directly slashed out.
“Darkness shrouds the land, I shall exist with the world for all eternity!”
The God of Darkness roared. He wanted to save his life. He executed the Dao of the Immortal that he had comprehended.
But under the Kunlun Sword Technique, this Dao of the Immortal was also very fragile.
Lin Jiufeng’s expression was cold. His sword cut through the darkness, cut through the illusions of longevity, and cut apart the eternal existence.
In the very next moment, the God of Darkness’ beating heart was split into two.
The God of Darkness was killed. He let out an extremely indignant roar, but it was still useless. He was killed by the Kunlun Sword Technique.
“10,000 plus years ago, you escaped a calamity. But 10,000 plus years later, you still ended up dying under this sword technique!” A trace of ridicule appeared on Lin Jiufeng’s face as he said with contempt.
“What a weak god!”
