Chapter 153: Origin Energy of the Netherworld

Wang Lu is gone.

Ji Yanling wept heart-wrenching tears.

She was always so resilient and would not shed a tear no matter how much danger she was in or how lonely she felt, but she cried with all her might now.

After Wang Lu’s body dissipated, a remnant wisp of black aura flowed into An Lin’s body.

An Lin had a feeling that he should not reject the black aura.

After accepting the wisp of black aura, his mind was not corrupted by any negative emotions. Instead, all the cells in his body began to become more active and the world around him seemed to slow down and become clearer.

“Ding dong! Successfully absorbed the essence of the sinister devil. Commence the inheritance of the Origin Energy of the Netherworld.”

Boom!

An alarming amount of information began to gush into An Lin’s mind.

Techniques, cultivation methods, the enlightenment of both cultivation base and the Dao of the Netherworld…

Once again, he experienced that head-splitting feeling. However, unlike before, his thought processes were extremely clear and active this time.

So that’s what happened…

An Lin stood up, and as he made his way over to Ji Yanling, a light black aura exuded from his body.

[Intermediate Rank God of War Immortal Spell — Origin Energy of the Netherworld, you can unlock your body’s full potential for a short time using this technique!]

However, there was an after-effect to this technique and the longer the technique was used for, the more severe the after-effects would be.

After using the Origin Energy of the Netherworld, one would at least be bedridden for the next few days. A more severe after-effect would include incurring damage to the cultivation base or even death.

The Blue Dream Jewel enchantment began to shatter with Wang Lu’s death.

However, in the split second, before it completely shattered, a remaining shred of power transformed the shattered blue shards into sharp blades which all shot out towards the cyclops-like sinister devil. This was the last remnant of Wang Lu’s power in the world, and each blue shard was imbued with extremely frightening power.

The cyclops-like sinister devil was caught off guard and roared in pain as the blade shards punctured its body.

At that moment, the Origin Energy of the Netherworld began to swirl around An Lin’s body as the aura around him began to elevate dramatically.

[Spirit Nurturing Intermediate Stage, Spirit Nurturing Final Stage…]

A vast and powerful aura shot up towards the sky as the translucent figure of a black tiger appeared from the Evil-Slaying Sword. A powerful regal pressure radiated outwards and a dark shadow materialized in the air at the same time.

Second technique, Shadow Tiger!

An Lin began to move, and his body elongated like a shadow. Within the shadow, his physical body appeared without warning in front of the cyclops-like sinister devil, the longsword slashing down with terrifying pressure!

The cyclops-like sinister devil had just been heavily wounded, and in the face of such a powerful attack, it had no way of dodging and could only raise its arms up in defense.

The sword fell silently, but the sword projection extended for thousands of feet.

He ripped apart the cyclops-like sinister devil’s arms, shattered its single red eye, and split its body cleanly in half before finally slashing a deep dark rift into the ground.

The cyclops-like sinister devil fell and its shattered body began to dissipate slowly as the black aura around An Lin’s body began to also vanish.

Having used the Origin Energy of the Netherworld for several seconds as well as the second technique of the Six God of War Techniques, his body was racked with unbearable pain, causing him to collapse to the ground, panting heavily.

However, the battle had still not ended.

There were still four sinister devils left, two of which were engaged in battle with Xiao Chou, while the other two were engaged in one-on-one battles with Xu Xiaolan and Da Bai. All four of them were struggling against the sinister devils, and they barely managed to avoid defeat.

“Master, master, let Xiao Hong fight too.” An Lin’s pocket rustled.

An Lin could barely stand at the moment and was slightly taken aback upon hearing Xiao Hong’s request. “Didn’t you say that your power couldn’t be activated in such a dark place? And you spent so much effort helping me withstand the corruption of the sinister devil. Are you sure you’ll really be OK?”

“I’ll be fine. Xiao Hong suddenly remember that she can release all the power she stored through photosynthesis in fell swoop!” Xiao Hong’s sweet voice replied from his pocket.

An Lin, “…”

Even though he did not know what Xiao Hong meant by releasing the power from photosynthesis, but if it could help Xu Xiaolan and the others, he definitely would not refuse.

Thus, Xiao Hong leaped out of his pocket before transforming into a curvy young woman.

She was still dressed all in red, her perfect features were filled with solemnity.

“In the name of the sun, I vanquish thee!” Xiao Hong leaped into the air, yelling loudly in her cute voice.

Suddenly, countless rays of light erupted from her body!

The golden light transformed into waves, crashing into the four sinister devils with the power of pure Yang.

Boom Boom Boom!

This type of attack had no blind spots and was completely unavoidable.

The four sinister devils all began to screech in anguish as the light struck them.

Xiao Chou grabbed this opportunity, and a string of all-engulfing black flames revolved around his silver staff as he swung down toward the two sinister devils in front of him.

Xu Xiaolan spread her flame wings wide, slashing down towards her sinister devil assailant with her longsword.

Da Bai’s method of attack was much simpler; it simply extended its claws to rip the sinister devil in half.

All four of the sinister devils fell in the face of everyone’s ferocious attacks and their twisted bodies began to slowly dissipate.

Xiao Hong’s “vanquish in the name of the sun” technique was an absolute masterstroke as it had instantly flipped the direction of the battle to their advantage.

“Awesome! Other plants can only photosynthesize to help them grow, but you can use photosynthesis to unleash light wave attacks!” An Lin’s eyes widened as words of praise flew unadulterated from his mouth.

Xiao Hong rubbed her eyes tiredly and yawned. She then reverted back into a cute little red flower amidst a flash of light and jumped back into An Lin’s pocket.

“Master, Xiao Hong has used up all the power she stored from photosynthesis.

“Xiao Hong has to hibernate for a while now. Don’t forget to place Xiao Hong under the sun every day!”

An Lin nodded solemnly.

So, just give her sun exposure like what one would do with a normal flower? Easy.

The battle was finally over.

Xiao Chou, Da Bai, and Xu Xiaolan all had injuries of varying degrees of severity.

An Lin also had a severe wound on his stomach, and as a result, his aura was becoming extremely feeble. He probably could not even use the most basic immortal spell, let alone Sword Kinesis Flight.

But the person that was hurt the deepest was Ji Yanling.

She sat on the ground, shattered and soulless. Her previously bright and vivid eyes had lost all their former luster.

Her smooth flowing hair pooled down in a messy bunch, and she still cradled the Blue Dream Jewel in her hands, but the jewel had also lost all its luster and became an ordinary rock.

Xu Xiaolan and the others all stood rooted to the spot as they were unsure of how to console her.

There was something very clearly wrong with Ji Yanling’s mental condition. The woman who had previously earned everyone’s respect through her strength and resilience now seemed to have lost all resolve; only a deathly emptiness remained in her soulless eyes.

An Lin made his way over to her. He had already seen the sequence of events leading up to this point. “Ji Yanling, these are some of the memories Wang Lu entrusted me with. I’ll now pass these memories on to you.”

Ji Yanling’s body trembled as she raised her head, two rows of tears still lingered on her pale, colorless face.

An Lin sighed lightly as a ray of white light appeared on his fingertip, which he then pointed toward the center of her forehead.

A flash of images suddenly appeared in Ji Yanling’s mind — Within the Abyss of Evil, Wang Lu’s descent into a sinister devil; his protection of Ji Yanling in the shadows; and the soft whispers he spoke to himself from time to time…

Finally, the memories concluded, and a familiar and gentle voice sounded in her mind.

“Little Yan, live on and be happy.”

It was a very simple sentence, but Ji Yanling burst into tears once again.

She suddenly understood. During all those times when she was stumbling around in the darkness, she was not actually alone.

Wang Lu was always by her side…

“Wang Lu, I’ll live on and be happy.”

“I won’t let your efforts in protecting me go in vain.”

Ji Yanling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes as she held the dull jewel tightly in her hand. A thought suddenly seemed to occur to her and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

“It’s already the 899127th time.”
