Chapter 405: Part 2

Chapter 406: Overwhelming: Part 2

“It’s… It’s too strong!”

Djall Demonhand looked at the spot where Lin Sheng was from a distance. If he used to think of getting away from Lin Sheng secretly and rebuilding the Demonhand family in a different place to get rid of the predicament of being controlled, now he had perished the thought altogether.

He wholeheartedly submitted to Lin Sheng and dared not having two minds about it. He saw the possibility of the rise of the Demonhand family on Lin Sheng.

Of the dark spirits behind the Demonhand family, only a few Darkspirit Generals understood how powerful Lin Sheng was. But those small fries just uttered a few words of admiration at best, totally clueless of what happened.

The dark spirits of the Demonhand family began to cheer. Sporadic shouts of a name that represented the supremacy among the dark spirits rose. It was a name that no one had dared claim for himself.

“Teagh (king)!”

“Teagh!”

“Teagh!”

“Teagh!”

At first, only a few dark spirits were yelling. Quickly, the sparks spread out like a wildfire. It got louder and more synchronous as more and more dark spirits joined in the hooray.

They were shouting the same name: Teagh. It meant “king” in Deviltongue.

In the square, the monster bird swooped down again. It looked like a powerful move but it could not get close to its target. Lin Sheng’s force field bounced it off onto the ground.

“The farce is over.” Lin Sheng looked up, raising his hand at the strange bird above. Unlike the earlier move, a gust of wind blew from above and spread out in all directions as he opened his hand and made a grabbing gesture.

“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” The strange bird, Kund roared in a raging frenzy, black liquid dripping down its body. The extremely acidic fluid ate into the ground as soon as it dropped onto the square. Already damaged by the earlier attacks, the corrosive venom was making the situation worse with more and deeper holes in the ground.

The ground within twenty meters of Lin Sheng became a platform that got higher and higher as the ground outside this range got lower and lower because of the corrosion.

Frustrated and angered upon seeing its venom failing to make a dent, the strange bird shrieked in the air as if it was cursing Lin Sheng. When Lin Sheng looked up and reached out, it ridiculed him.

“Idiot! Do you think you can crush my strong body with your earlier pathetic strength? Imbecile!

“It will not work on me even if you increase the concentration of your strength a hundredfold! Hahahaha!

“Come on! Show me how stupid you are! Come and get me! Hahahaha!”

The strange bird hovered in the air and laughed like it was a mad bird. As frantic as it looked, the bird still kept its eyes peeled for any possible attack of white light from above. It knew if the intensity of the white light rose to a certain level, it would not hurt but might upset its composure.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? You just raised a hand yet nothing happened? Hahaha! I’m waiting here! Let’s see what you’ve got! Come on, come on! Hahahaha! I’ve been looking forward to it for too long! Don’t tell me all you can do is just produce a gust of wind! You fool! Are you going to get up here and…”

All of a sudden, there was silence. The loud and annoying yammering had stopped. The strange bird that was still flapping its wings was frozen mid-air. A massive sharp stalagmite bursting out from the ground had pierced through its body, holding it still in the air.

The surface of the stalagmite was covered with a faint white layer of holy power, and the bottom part of it was made up of the ground and rock from the square.

Standing at a few dozen meters tall, the pointed stalagmites looked like a lance thrown from the depths of the earth. It accurately and cruelly pierced through the strange bird. The holy light on the surface of the rock grilled the creature like barbecued meat on a skewer.

Black smoke rose from the strange bird’s body. Its heads were struggling but helpless. Trying to make a sound in their mouths, but it was too painful to bear. They could only make some weak wails.

“Skin it. Turn its skin into a war flag,” Lin Sheng said. With the whisk of the reins, Lin Sheng rode off toward the black tower.

Receiving the order, Djall Demonhand came to his senses and replied, “Aye!”

The rest of the dark spirits responded in unison. They then rushed up to the monster bird, Kund with Djall Demonhand.

Lin Sheng’s face looked cold and calm under his helmet. That monster bird was only a Six-winged Darkspirit Marshal. He had yet to meet any Palatinate-level dark spirits in the cave.

Killing an apex Six-winger with the strength of a Palatinate was not something to be proud of. It was an expected outcome. But what surprised him more was that after becoming a Palatinate, he could easily summon a vast amount of soul power.

Nevertheless, he needed to convert it into holy power or dark energy for his uses. Besides, if he wanted to turn these soul powers for his cultivation use, it would take time because these summoned soul powers were complex and manic.

If the dark spirit’s soul power had a complexity of one, then the summoned soul power was hundreds or even thousands. Purification was difficult, and it took ten times longer. So at least at this stage, it was far more cost-effective to use the dark spirit beads to enhance his soul power than absorbing the soul power of Soultide.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Sheng sat in the Hall of Primordial Spirits on the ninth floor at the top of the black tower. The entire place looked gray, simple yet grand.

The hall had many simple ancient ritual symbols and contours of animals and plants engravings. Other than that, there was only a stone throne on the highest side on the left.

The throne’s craftsmanship was rough. Behind the throne on the wall was a relief of a huge bird with nine heads.

“A nine-headed bird?” Lin Sheng sat on the throne and was surprised to see such a totem in the place. “Is it Kund’s dream to become a nine-headed bird?” He remembered that the nine-headed bird was a mythical beast he had read about on Earth in his previous life. He just did not expect to see a similar thing here.

However, the nine-headed bird on the relief here differed from the one depicted in the Litany of Mountains and Seas on Earth. The one here was shrouded in hot red flames. Also, there was dark-spirit text on the edge exalting its ability, praising it as the god who controlled the sun and the moon. It was the deity of sunlight and moonlight.

Lin Sheng came out of his thoughts. He looked at Djall Demonhand, who was half-kneeling before him, through the gap of his helmet. The head of a family who already looked frenzied by now was stacking the dark spirit beards he had gathered into a stone plate on the floor of the hall. They looked like a plate of black grapes—beautiful and mouth-watering.

At the top of the pile was the most eye-catching one. Lin Sheng instantly recognized it. It had to be the bead of the monster bird, Kund.

It was not exactly special, but the bead was huge. At the size of a washing basin, the huge bead, which sat on top of the smaller beads, had a faint red fluorescent glow to it. It was not rocket science to tell that the dark spirit bead was unusual.
