Chapter 1585: Living Body Reincarnation

“This isn’t a good sign, right?”

Lin Huang pointed in the direction of the Nirvana Tree forest, turning his head to glance at Virtuoso and Saber9.

“From the looks of it, either that wretch Nine Gloom isn’t completely dead, or there’s something else guarding this area.” Saber9’s expression betrayed mixed feelings. As Virtuoso and Lin Huang had anticipated, obtaining the final fragment of the castellan’s seal was not going to be so easy.

“Well, since he isn’t completely dead, let’s kill him again! If someone else is guarding the area, then we’ll get rid of that guardian!” Virtuoso’s tone sounded calm enough, but Lin Huang and Saber9 could hear the underlying grim coldness in his voice. Clearly, having already come so far, Virtuoso was determined to obtain the last fragment of the castellan’s seal.

Lin Huang and Saber9 had no objections to Virtuoso’s statement.

After all, they were already at the final stage. No matter who their opponent was, they would have to fight regardless, or their efforts over the last few days would be in vain.

In just the blink of an eye, the misty blue light in the Nirvana Tree forest had spread rapidly.

As they had no idea what the exact situation was, the three of them did not recklessly plunge into the area.

Lin Huang and Saber9 attempted several attacks. Regardless of whether it was sword gleams or saber gleams, the attacks weakened and rapidly dispersed as soon as they were sent into the area of blue mist.

After a few rounds of futile testing, the three just decided to wait patiently.

Within merely the time it took for a few breaths, the blue mist had become so thick it completely obscured their vision and their Divine Telekinesis scans.

Very soon, the blue mist began reducing dramatically, as if there were something in the middle of the Nirvana Tree forest sucking it up at lightning speed.

Within less than ten seconds, the mist-covered area from earlier had shrunk significantly, and the entire Nirvana Tree forest was revealed.

Lin Huang and the other two could clearly see that less than ten meters of the center area was still covered in blue mist now.

Upon seeing that, Saber9 could not help taking action again; he sent more than a hundred saber gleams hurtling toward the blue mist.

However, as soon as the gleams entered the mist, they dissipated and vanished immediately.

When Lin Huang and Virtuoso saw what happened, they did not bother with any further fruitless attempts.

The three of them were basically already certain that the entity within the mist ought to be their final enemy.

After around two to three minutes, the blue mist slowly began reducing again. When it was about three meters in diameter, it stopped reducing entirely and consolidated into a humanoid figure.

At that moment, Lin Huang and the other two were already fully alert and on guard, ready to fight.

However, they could not help feeling somewhat puzzled by the form the blue mist had taken.

This was because, judging from the shape, their opponent this time very likely was not Nine Gloom.

If that was the case, then who on earth was their current opponent?

All three of them were seized by the same sense of doubt.

A short while later, the humanoid figure finally moved. It took a step forward, and the last layer of blue mist enshrouding its body finally began to dissipate.

As it strode forward one step at a time, its figure also became more distinct.

When Lin Huang and the other two saw what their opponent looked like, their faces filled with shock.

“Silver Armor?!”

Although he looked a little different from the description contained in the information they had, the three could immediately identify that this was Silver Armor, one of the six overlords of the inner world.

The three of them had the same sense of doubt rise in their minds almost simultaneously—had Nine Gloom not already killed off this fellow?!

Previously when they had observed Nine Gloom recalling his God Territory, they knew that the battle between the overlords had ended, and Nine Gloom was the final winner.

That was why they had genuinely not expected to see Silver Armor here.

When they saw Silver Armor emerging, their hearts sank a little.

Unlike Nine Gloom, Silver Armor was the enemy that they most particularly did not wish to encounter.

This was because that fellow possessed terrifying defense capabilities; Lin Huang and the others would have a very difficult time breaching his defenses.

Moreover, judging by the aura currently radiating from Silver Armor, he seemed to have recovered and was now in peak condition—completely different from the condition Nine Gloom had been in after fighting Lin Huang and the rest.

Lin Huang was even fairly certain that this current Silver Armor standing in front of them could utterly defeat Nine Gloom from earlier on.

The eyes of the three met; each saw the other’s unwillingness to back down. Their fighting spirit began to rise rapidly.

No matter how difficult this battle might be, all three of them felt strongly that they should not retreat just like that.

After all, they were at the very last lap now. All they had to do was kill Silver Armor, who was there in front of them, and their purpose for entering the Abyss this time would be achieved.

With this conviction in mind, the three of them attacked Silver Armor without hesitation.

Lin Huang held back nothing at all in this strike. Just like before, his sword was imbued with the same twelve compounded levels of god sequence chains combined with Sword Dao heavenly rule, and he slashed down with it.

The blood-red sword gleam was like a surging river of blood, hurtling toward Silver Armor with earth-shattering power.

On his side, Saber9 held nothing back either.

He released all nine saber formations at once. Countless golden saber gleams consolidated into a single gigantic saber that swung straight at Silver Armor.

Not too far off, Virtuoso performed complicated hand seals with both hands.

One by one, black chains coalesced in the air, transforming into massive black pythons that charged in Silver Armor’s direction.

In an instant, the massive pythons coiled around Silver Armor’s limbs, preventing him from moving.

A second later, the blood river-like sword and the gigantic saber also reached Silver Armor.

Just when the three of them thought the attack would definitely defeat their foe, something unforeseen happened!

Blue mist pervaded Silver Armor’s eyes. Both his arms suddenly exerted strength, and blue Divine Power washed over his entire body like a shockwave, pulverizing the black chains that were as thick as a man’s arm.

The next instant, Silver Armor—who had broken free of his restraints—made no move to dodge at all. He merely raised both arms calmly, and countless ice-blue vines shot out violently from his palms. The vines from one palm turned into a tsunami, while the other turned into a massive blade. They each charged straight toward Lin Huang and Saber9’s attacks, respectively.

When they saw this, Lin Huang and the other two were dumbstruck.

Before they could even come back to their senses, both parties’ attacks had collided.

Lin Huang’s blood river-like slash was swallowed up by the blue vine tsunami within the time it took for a mere few breaths.

Saber9’s gigantic saber clashed with the vine saber and fell apart, scattering all over the ground.

The two attacks that were Lin Huang and Saber9’s pride had been easily decimated by Silver Armor—no, that would be Nine Gloom!

The moment they saw him releasing vines, Lin Huang and the others immediately realized that this fellow, who looked like Silver Armor, was not the real Silver Armor, but Nine Gloom!

Although the three had no idea what Nine Gloom had done to Silver Armor, Nine Gloom did not seem to be concealing anything. After forcing the three of them to retreat, he did not pursue them in haste. Instead, he spoke to them, smiling. His tone sounded like he was sharing something that made him happy with his good friends.

“I must thank the three of you. If not for you, I fear I might not have so swiftly made the decision to use Silver Armor’s body to perform living body reincarnation. I hadn’t anticipated that this time, the reincarnation would be much smoother than I had expected!”
