Chapter 113: Xuan Zi Prepares to Die, Karma Finally Has Retribution
Above the scorched earth of the Evil Demon Forest, the gale gradually subsided.
Lin Sheng stood quietly at the edge of the Void Realm and the earth. He closed his eyes slightly, sensing the newly evolved External Soul Bone between his brows: the Evil Pupil.
The double pupils, originally intertwined with brilliant gold and blood red, had now been completely replaced by a deep, dark blue as profound as the underworld and as magnificent as the starry sky.
As those overlapping pupils opened and closed, they no longer merely peered into fate; they carried a chilling sharpness capable of slicing through dimensions!
"Light of Space-Time..."
"As expected, the ability the Evil Emperor bestowed upon me comes with his signature skill, Light of Space-Time."
Lin Sheng tapped his fingertip lightly against the Void Realm.
As the Evil Pupil lit up slightly, a faint dark-blue crystalline ray shot out. It did not produce a violent explosion, but instead directly sliced away a chunk of the space several meters ahead, leaving behind a pitch-black void that could not heal for a long time!
"Boom—!"
Space began to collapse with a delayed reaction. It was as if all dimensions were torn apart at this very moment, immediately erupting with the terrifying power of collapse.
"Crack..."
Space shattered.
A look of shock emerged in Lin Sheng's pupils.
After absorbing the Evil Emperor's nearly 800,000-year-old Divine Sense Origin, this External Soul Bone had undergone a qualitative leap.
It had transcended the category of mortal beasts... and evolved into a true Divine Rank Soul Bone!!!
Not only had the power of the previous Light of Destruction doubled, but it had also perfectly inherited the Law of Space-Time that even Di Tian feared from the Evil Emperor.
"My choice back then was indeed correct. The complete Fusion of the double pupils and the Evil Pupil has birthed one of my strongest trump cards today."
"Evil Pupil..."
Lin Sheng took a deep breath.
As the energy of his Soul Ring and Soul Bone completely settled, the Soul Power fluctuations around Lin Sheng erupted like a gusher once again.
From the level 71 he had just entered as a Soul Saint, his power surged irresistibly, finally settling steadily at level 75.
Beside him, Di Tian...
Those golden dragon eyes flickered with complex and indiscernible colors.
He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
He had witnessed countless brilliant human Geniuses, even experiencing the rise of the Sea God and the Angel God firsthand, yet he had never seen a Soul Saint capable of releasing such pressure that made his spine chill.
"Lin Sheng, if you were to unleash your full power now..."
Di Tian remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly, his tone carrying a trace of self-deprecation.
"Even I, if I do not use my most powerful means like the Dragon God Claw, might not necessarily be able to say I can steadily defeat you."
After all, Di Tian was very clear about the Evil Emperor's strength.
Although...
Lin Sheng and the Evil Emperor were both ultimate spirit-types, perhaps that was precisely why the Evil Emperor was slain by Lin Sheng in such a manner.
"Senior Di Tian is too kind."
Lin Sheng retracted the strange phenomena surrounding his body; the Evil Pupil gradually faded at this moment, and his eyes immediately turned back to a normal black-red.
He looked at Di Tian.
He just smiled calmly, a smile that hid a depth born from having experienced life and death.
...
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away at Shrek Academy, inside the Sea God Pavilion.
The atmosphere here was suffocatingly heavy.
Golden sunlight spilled onto the floor through the window lattice, yet it could not dispel the sorrow and murderous aura permeating the air.
Principal Yan Shaozhe, Cai Meier, and a group of Shrek elders were currently looking with varied expressions at the aged figure standing with his back to them.
"..."
Elder Xuan was still carrying that huge wine gourd, but the once greasy and shiny chicken leg was long gone, and his messy white hair made him look even more aged.
That back, which was always straight, now revealed a bleakness of a hero in his twilight years.
"Elder Xuan... do we really have to go this far?"
Principal Yan Shaozhe's voice trembled, his eyes turning red.
Elder Xuan slowly turned around. His originally murky gaze became unprecedentedly clear and resolute at this moment.
He looked at these juniors, his tone as calm as if he were discussing tomorrow's weather.
"In this life, I have been greedy for wine and neglected my duties. I boasted of protecting the glory of Shrek, yet I planted such a sinful fate many years ago."
"That child, Lin Sheng... his hometown suffered a catastrophic disaster. Ultimately, it was because of my arrogance and dereliction of duty. These debts must be repaid."
When Xuan Zi said these words, his tone was very relaxed, as if he had long since made up his mind.
He paused and revealed a smile that was both gratified and bitter: "I have seen the future of the Douluo Continent in him. His talent is truly too powerful."
"That child's current combat power is likely already comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo, perhaps even stronger. I am actually quite relieved to entrust the future of the Douluo Continent to someone like him, who is decisive in killing yet harbors obsessions."
"Elder Xuan, we can go and apologize to him, the Sect can offer compensation..."
Cai Meier could not help but try to dissuade him.
"Some debts cannot be repaid."
Elder Xuan waved his hand to interrupt, his eyes suddenly turning fierce, like an awakening gluttonous beast.
"I will let him kill me to end this Karma that has lasted for several years, but before that, this old life of mine still has one final value."
Elder Xuan's gaze looked toward the south, where the Evil Demon Forest was, the hiding place of the Holy Spirit Cult.
"I am going to slaughter the Holy Spirit Cult, to slaughter those beasts who only know how to toy with Souls."
"Since I am going to atone for my sins, I will use these old bones of mine to take a few more lives of Evil Soul Masters for that child and for this continent!"
He slammed the wine gourd in his hand onto the ground.
Amidst the overflowing fragrance of wine, a terrifying aura that shook the foundations of the Sea God Pavilion soared into the sky.
"Boom—!"
"Make arrangements for the Academy's affairs. I am going now; if I do not kill a few more Evil Soul Masters, I swear I will not return!"
"Oh no... perhaps I will not return, but before I die, I will take those Evil Soul Masters with me."
Xuan Zi's voice gradually faded into the horizon.
"We will follow him."
Principal Yan Shaozhe's eyes were slightly red as he said in a deep voice at this moment.
Xuan Zi left just like that, carrying a heroism akin to a martyr.
Under the gaze of the Shrek elders...
That yellow stream of light was like a meteor streaking across the sky, rushing toward the border of the Sun Moon Empire with an unstoppable posture.
Following closely behind, Principal Yan Shaozhe and the others also followed.
...
On the other side, in the inner circle of the Evil Demon Forest.
Lin Sheng, having just completed his evolution, seemed to sense something.
He raised his head, his Evil Pupil flickering slightly, looking in the direction of Shrek Academy.
"It is time..."
In the reflection of those deep pupils, the red thread of fate was trembling violently.
It seemed that a finale he had been waiting for for a long time was finally arriving.
"Xuan Zi..."
Lin Sheng whispered the name, a cold smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, but within this smile, there was a hint of complexity.
Scenes from the past emerged in his mind at this moment, and that extreme feeling of hatred could no longer be suppressed.
"Some things are about to end."
"The vengeance from back then... it is time for it to be settled!"
