Chapter 2320 - A Black Lin Jianxing

This time, Tianming really hadn’t done it on purpose. Ying Huo and Meow Meow didn’t dare to help Yi Zhuojun, just so he could acquire the walnut.

Could it be due to the fact that I killed the eyebeast and myriadhead hydra, as well as got the superfiend to surrender? Tianming thought to himself after the last walnut entered his head and completed the ‘puzzle.’ The warbeasts were definitely stronger than Qi Xuanzi. However, he knew that nothing could be changed no matter how much he thought about it. Not far away, Yi Zhuojun dully stared at him, his colorful eyes filled with helplessness.

"How did this happen? Is this place owned by your family?" Although he had a steady mind, he was a little frantic now. Of course, that was just human nature. Everyone feared death. Did losing the walnut mean death? Dongshen Xiaoli and Lin Linglin were both frightened as well. They stared closely at Tianming, looking for changes, and at the same time, observed the changes around them, for fear that they would be torn apart by the rules of the bees’ nest.

Tianming"s attention was on his sea of consciousness. The walnuts stretched out Tianming"s albi and made his head expand, then slightly rotated, forming six sides that were connected to one another like a hexagonal room in his head. "How strange." Although the walnuts had been forced upon him, he felt that his body was fine. After the fight, the Greenspark Tower had already healed his minor injuries. He was healthy and full of vigor.

The green light on him had long since disappeared. But in his sea of consciousness, many of his albi, which resembled a galaxy, had now been dyed green. Then that thing gently rotated in his head.

"What?" He froze, then felt his body float up.

"Cousin!" Dongshen Xiaoli anxiously yelled.

As the three of them watched in shock, Tianming"s body faded before their eyes. It was like his entire body had turned into dust and disappeared with a loud buzz.

"He’s gone?"

"Is he dead?"

Their expressions drastically changed. In fact, they thought that the one who killed the others and obtained six walnuts would be the biggest winner, if only one person could live. They would monopolize this room and become the only chrysalis. Thus, they were shocked by Tianming’s sudden disappearance.

More importantly, the superfiend was still there. Ying Huo, who had been on Tianming"s shoulder, had disappeared as well. For a moment, the superfiend tilted its head, foolishly looking at the three of them.

"That’s impossible!"

Dongshen Xiaoli was very puzzled. The lawless bees’ nest had disappointed them.

"Dongshen Xiaoli, you!" Lin Linglin screamed.

"What?"

Dongshen Xiaoli"s mind was buzzing. When she saw Lin Linglin pointing at her, she quickly looked down and was startled by what she saw. She didn"t expect to find that her body had begun to fade into nothingness. The problem was that she didn’t have a walnut.

"Both of you, too!" Dongshen Xiaoli screamed.

Lin Linglin and Yi Zhuojun bowed their heads, their expressions drastically changing. The same thing happened to the superfiend.

The world seemed to turn upside down. The foggy world before their eyes turned round and round, flickering between light and shadow. At some point, the white fog dissipated and Dongshen Xiaoli opened her eyes in a daze. Flames surged and a cold wave whistled by. She was struck by black lightning, her hair standing on end. When she saw everything in front of her, she jumped with joy.

“The OldG.o.d Domain!" It was hard to imagine that this gloomy, humid world filled with divine hazards felt more safe than the foggy, fairyland-like world. She confirmed that it was indeed the OldG.o.d Domain and she was still alive. Even her lifebound beasts were still in her lifebound s.p.a.ce, all safe and sound. She checked her body and pinched her cheeks several times to make sure it wasn"t a dream. Yi Zhuojun and Lin Linglin were also by her side, equally shocked.

"We’re not dead!"

The funniest thing was that even the superfiend, who had surrendered in the end, was with them.

"It’s true! We aren’t dead...." Yi Zhuojun"s dangling heart finally found solid ground.

Soon, more than a dozen elders from the Mundus Enforcers appeared in front of them.

"You’re safe. Let"s go, we’ll take you back to your elders first."

Their words gave the three juniors a great sense of security. As soon as the superfiend heard that, it turned around and slipped away. No one had paid any attention to it; it had survived relying on its quick wits.

"Senior, I have a question...." Dongshen Xiaoli grew nervous again.

"What is it?"

"Is my cousin still alive?" she asked.

"He is. He has entered the next round and his opponents are all those who also obtained six walnuts," the elder said.

"Got it."

Next to her, Yi Zhuojun sighed, still filled with lingering fear. "The person who combines six walnuts enters the next round. That’s the rule for this round. The rest can live or die."

"Yes!"

However, those inside didn’t know that and could only speculate. As long as they were afraid of dying, they would fight, and as long as they fought, they would die.

"This round, none of them are bee-headed people, but you were more frightened and ruthless than the previous round," The Mundus Enforcers sighed.

"The previous round? Those who died can’t leave, can they?" Lin Linglin asked.

"What are you thinking? The ancestral world isn’t an illusion. Death there is real. Only those like you survived."

For a moment, the three of them found it hard to breathe.

......

Fog engulfed the empty bee’s nest as those corpses that died in battle were slowly corroded by it, becoming nourishment and returning to the heavens and earth. Lin Jianxing"s body was already cold. His head, chest, and abdomen, as well as the area below his navel, looked as if they had been dug out. There were three b.l.o.o.d.y holes caused by Tianming’s Imperial Sword Prison and cosmic impulses. Aside from his heptastar organs, Lin Jianxing"s other parts, like his hands, feet, and ribs were intact.

The position of what used to be his heptastar organs suddenly filled with thick black fog, which continued to build up, surging and growing like insect eggs until black flesh and blood was finally formed. The black flesh was transformed into the brain, heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, as well as the seventh organ, which made up Lin Jianxing"s body. His eyes, ears, mouth, and nose had regrown, but they were all pitch black. In the end, the black flesh slowly turned into the color of normal flesh.

Coughing violently, he abruptly opened his eyes and sat up. He smiled. "I didn"t expect that I would be lucky enough to return to the world where I was born. Lin Jianxing, from now on, I’m you."
