Under Lan Ling’s guidance, Lin Huang and the rest hurried along . It took them half a day to get out of the Furies’ gathering area, killing 27 Furies of various forms along the way .

“We’ve left the Furies’ gathering place . Ahead, there are Jealousies all over within three hundred kilometers of my sensing range . ” Lan Ling stopped and informed the others of her probing results after some investigation .

“This place is most certainly a Disaster Abyss Land,” Saber9 said to Virtuoso, who was next to him .

Virtuoso nodded lightly . “We can basically confirm that now . ”

Lin Huang and the rest had flown for the better part of half a day before finally getting out of the Furies’ gathering place . The vast size of the area where the rage emotions were dispersed clearly indicated that this was no ordinary gathering point for negative emotions . Now that they had discovered another type of Disaster up ahead, it proved that there were many types of negative emotions here . They could basically eliminate the possibility of them being anywhere else now .

Only a Disaster Abyss Land could gather so many types of negative emotions in such a vast area .

“What do we have to take note of to counter the Jealousies?” Lin Huang could not help asking .

He knew of course that a Jealousy was an Abyssal creature created from the contamination of extreme jealous emotions . However, in the information that he had gathered previously, there were not many descriptions of this particular kind of monster .

“The Jealousies are indeed rather unique creatures . Let me explain,” Virtuoso said calmly .

“The Jealousies are monsters that are intensely jealous and usually exist only in spirit form . They’re immune to most physical attacks, including those using Rule Bending Power and sequence power . Only spirit-type attacks can harm them directly .

“However, if an individual is envied by a Jealousy, all attacks from the Jealousy’s target will work . In other words, if one of us is being targeted by a Jealousy and nobody around the target has spirit-type attack techniques, we can’t help . The target can only rely on themselves .

“Another interesting thing is that if an individual is within a Jealousy’s sensing range, but they have nothing for the Jealousy to be envious about, the Jealousy will ignore that individual . Even if the individual walks over when the Jealousy is watching, that individual won’t be attacked .

“However, Jealousies have strange points of jealousy . Not only that, every one of them is different . They might be jealous of things that don’t bother us at all . For instance, your hair is longer than mine, so I want to kill you . Why is your lipstick color so nice? I want to kill you for that…”

Lan Ling lifted her hand in seemingly casual fashion to wipe off the lipstick on her mouth after she heard this .

“The target has to kill the Jealousy as soon as they’ve been targeted . This is because the longer one drags things out, the more envious the Jealousy becomes . It might even go into a state of madness, which causes its ability to skyrocket .

“There’s one more thing to note . Before Jealousies lock onto their target, they have a certain level of resistance to spirit-type attacks . Furthermore, if they’re attacked under such circumstances, they will immediately go into a state of madness . ”

Even Tu Tong and Lan Ling could not stop nodding after hearing Virtuoso’s explanation, not just Lin Huang . Clearly, it was their first time hearing this information as well .

“Don’t panic if you become targets . My Saber Dao heavenly rule has spirit-type attack attributes,” Saber9 comforted Lan Ling, then glanced at Lin Huang .

Saber Dao and Sword Dao heavenly rules belonged to a class of extreme physical attack techniques that went beyond the physical immunity upper limits of spirits . These attacks had the effect of harming spirits directly .

Saber9’s comments did not refer to not the harm that Saber Dao heavenly rule could inflict . Rather, they referred to the spirit-type attack Saber Dao techniques that Saber9 had mastered .

Lin Huang understood what Saber9 meant and also noticed the slight challenge in Saber9’s gaze . However, it did not particularly bother him .

As for Sword Dao heavenly rule, Lin Huang had indeed just elevated to level-2, Heavenly Heart—perhaps Saber9, who had been at level-2 for a long time, was not aware of this . However, all the Sword Servants under Lin Huang had recovered their combat strength to seventh-rank heavenly god-level, so he could borrow over three hundred types of Sword Dao heavenly rules . Among them were a few that had been unlocked to level-3, Heavenly Dao .

He was confident that he definitely would not lose to Saber9 if they were to spar with swords or sabers, even though Saber9’s Primordium was an extremely powerful Almighty, as well as a member of the Club .

However, Saber9 himself was just a clone, after all . Not only that, his combat strength was merely at ninth-rank true god-level .

Therefore, Lin Huang did not have much intention of challenging Saber9 .

In reality, he was more interested in Saber9’s Primordium than in Saber9 .

Previously, Lin Huang had been curious about how powerful Saber9’s Primordium would be at ninth-rank, compared to his clone, and if Saber9’s combined ability was more powerful than his own .

As they progressed further on their journey, very soon, they encountered the first Jealousy .

It was Lin Huang’s first time seeing a Jealousy .

This Jealousy resembled a female ghost in a red dress; she hovered in the air . She had long, black hair that came to her waist

In the beginning, she had her back to them .

However, after sensing the auras of Lin Huang and the others, her head turned one hundred and eighty degrees, revealing her deathly pale face .

The most extraordinary thing was that although her face was bloodless, her lips were painted a vibrant and beautiful shade of blood red .

Even though Lin Huang was already a true god-level cultivator, he could not help feeling a little terrified when he saw the Jealousy in front of them, immediately recalling the horror movies that he had watched back on Earth .

After the Jealousy turned her head, she began observing Lin Huang and the others carefully .

After a round of scrutiny, she eventually locked onto Lan Ling .

Lan Ling’s heart thudded hard immediately once she noticed the Jealousy ignoring the rest entirely and staring at her without blinking . She knew that she had become a target .

After targeting Lan Ling, the Jealousy’s body turned around to where her head was facing .

The next second, she appeared in front of Lan Ling directly as if she had teleported .

Tu Tong wanted to attack, but Virtuoso clamped a hand on his shoulder .

They shook their head and said to Tu Tong through voice transmission, “She’s not finished locking onto her target yet . ”

The long-haired Jealousy hovered less than half a meter in front of Lan Ling and began to scrutinize the girl from head to toe .

A moment later, her gaze alighted on Lan Ling’s chest, and she enquired as if she was talking to herself,

“Why is your chest so big?!”

Subsequently, her voice began to repeat like a language-learning device . She stared at Lan Ling’s chest and began to repeat her words over and over again .

She began speaking faster and faster, and her pitch rose increasingly until everyone’s ears hurt .

Noticing that Virtuoso was signaling her not to attack yet, Lan Ling had no idea what to do at the moment .

The Jealousy repeated, “Why is your chest so big?” over and over, and her pupils rapidly became bloodshot . A few seconds later, her eyes were completely red—the pupils and irises could no longer be seen . Her black hair began to undulate like snakes .

A moment later, countless strands of hair surged forward like waves, charging at Lan Ling wildly as if they wanted to swallow her up .

Just when Lan Ling was about to retreat hastily, she saw a blinding golden gleam flash before her eyes, tearing through the entire swathe of black waves .

“Too noisy!” Saber9 sheathed his saber as soon as he finished speaking .

The black waves disintegrated immediately . The female Jealousy glanced in Saber9’s direction, looking stunned . Subsequently, a golden gleam lit up right between her brows, and her body began to fade slowly, starting from that golden gleam…
