Chapter 2618 – Annihilating Shaman G.o.d


Ling Mu sighed. It was not fair to blame Cheng Feng for Tu Shuangshuang’s escape. How could he hope to deal with someone who could not be trapped even with one of Sovereign Ninth Lotus"s power vessels? "Spread out and start searching now! Right, where is the Bureau? Why haven"t they sent anyone over yet?"


Little Lian clenched a fist. "The Bureau is responsible for dealing with spies, but they did nothing to protect Brother Cheng Feng! I will need to have them reprimanded."


Even if Little Lian had not said anything, Ling Mu had already been planning to do the same. Tu Shuangshuang had appeared at Broken Cliff, but there had been no sign of the Bureau. They were completely useless. While the Bureau did not have a good reputation, they needed to at least do the bare minimum.


After everything concluded, Ling Mu would make sure to report everything to Sovereign Ninth Lotus. Then, the Bureau would be punished properly.


At the same time, on a planet covered with a corrosive green liquid, Lu Yin came to a stop. Behind him, a dark shadow appeared from a twist in the void before also coming to a stop.


"You’ve been following me for a while now. What do you want?" asked Lu Yin.


"Who are you?" a voice echoed from the shadow.


Lu Yin was startled to hear a familiar voice; he was being chased by Shaman G.o.d!


Lu Yin had never considered that Shaman G.o.d would be the one pursuing him. Well, to be more accurate, he had been chased by Shaman G.o.d"s avatar in the Voidforce Universe. Investigating Cheng Feng had actually caused Lu Yin to uncover one of the Seven SkyG.o.ds’ avatars!


Lu Yin turned around to stare at the dark shadow. Sure enough, he had not been chased by an actual person, but rather by a strange doll. It was one of Shaman G.o.d"s dolls.


When Lu Yin encountered Shaman G.o.d’s avatars in the Fifth Mainland, the SkyG.o.d had never demonstrated such mastery of s.p.a.ce. Had that been because there had never been the opportunity, or had Shaman G.o.d been unwilling to do so for some reason?


Wait, maybe it had been revealed. When Shaman G.o.d had fought against Xia Ziheng, the puppet had used several moves that had seemed completely incomprehensible, but it had been readily apparent just how dangerous they had been. Those attacks might have involved mastery of s.p.a.ce. After all, Shaman G.o.d had been able to hide a sourcebox array in the void, which was proof that the SkyG.o.d possessed at least some control over s.p.a.ce.


"Speak. Who are you?" the doll asked in its eerie voice. It strutted about as though everything was already within its control.


Tu Shuangshuang, who was actually Lu Yin in disguise, suddenly released a surge of voidforce energy that swept toward Shaman G.o.d’s doll.


The doll let out a disturbing laugh. "Gaga! You want to die!"


As the voice fell, Lu Yin"s five senses became scrambled. His sight suddenly came from the back of his hand, and he found himself looking backwards. His sense of smell came from the side of his leg, and he was instantly overwhelmed by the stench of the corrosive green liquid. As Shaman G.o.d’s doll slowly approached, a sense of inescapable foreboding overwhelmed his mind.


Lu Yin carefully observed the void, and so he was able to watch as Shaman G.o.d’s doll pushed the spatial lines aside. This old monster had perfect control of s.p.a.ce. No wonder some of Shaman G.o.d’s movements had seemed to defy conventional logic. Among the spatial lines, Lu Yin could see multiple rows of sourcebox arrays.


Wherever this SkyG.o.d went, hidden sourcebox arrays were carried along with it.


The doll gave Lu Yin an odd look. "Child, it seems that you"re looking at things that shouldn"t be seen."


Lu Yin glared at the doll and then raised a hand. His bone pike instantly appeared, and a flood of voidforce energy engulfed the area as the pike shot towards the doll.


Shaman G.o.d’s doll was badly startled by the sight of the bone pike connecting to the spatial lines. This attack could not be avoided, but how was that possible? Could a power vessel actually control s.p.a.ce?


The bone pike relentlessly pursued the doll, as Lu Yin held nothing back. When facing any of the Seven SkyG.o.ds, holding back was asking to die.


When Lu Yin had last encountered one of Shaman G.o.d’s dolls in the Perennial World, he had been forced to exhaust every last trick he had, aside from Progenitor-level abilities, and yet he had still failed to stop Shaman G.o.d’s doll. Just a Semi-Progenitor avatar had single-handedly succeeded in almost completely wiping out the Seven Courts’ Yu family. This was true arrogance.


Shaman G.o.d’s doll frantically moved along, utilizing the spatial lines that Lu Yin could see, but the bone pike followed right behind it.


If anyone else was present, they would only see both the bone pike and the doll frozen in place, though both would become somewhat illusory at times. This was because they were simultaneously frozen in place and moving. No one could approach either one.


Lu Yin’s eyes narrowed. Just as he had suspected, Shaman G.o.d was indeed able to control s.p.a.ce. Just the strange doll that was the SkyG.o.d’s avatar possessed such impressive mastery, and if Lu Yin’s bone pike did not possess such a vast amount of voidforce energy, he would not have any confidence that he could deal with the doll. However, Lord Xu had personally infused the pike with voidforce energy, and Lu Yin’s control over that energy allowed him to control up to twenty times more energy than what he possessed himself.


What did twenty times more voidforce energy mean?


It was no different from a Semi-Progenitor’s all-out attack.


Lu Yin"s expression grew hard as his voidforce energy surged. He took a step forward, only to cough up blood from his confused senses. Still, he continued to pursue Shaman G.o.d’s doll.


The doll sneered. "You"re courting death!"


As it spoke, a sourcebox array emerged from the void, and an attack was launched at Lu Yin.


Lu Yin evaded the sourcebox array’s attack, and he pulled out the bird skeleton voidforce puppet. That puppet was also fiercely launched at the doll. The full amount of voidforce energy in the skeleton was drawn out, also revealing a level of power comparable to a Semi-Progenitor’s.


Shaman G.o.d"s doll remained unconcerned. When it came to mastery over s.p.a.ce, no attack could touch it.


While this was happening, Lu Yin was also forced to constantly dodge attacks from the sourcebox arrays. Eventually, he managed to move behind the doll, where he instantly seized the opportunity to pull out his slipper and smash it down on the doll.


In the past, Lu Yin had simply slapped his opponents with the slipper in exactly the same way an ordinary person would. However, at this moment, the slipper distorted the spatial lines as it moved closer to Shaman G.o.d"s doll. Lu Yin had become capable of manipulating and severing s.p.a.ce.


Shaman G.o.d could have never guessed that its opponent was Lu Yin.


Aeternus was all too familiar with Lu Yin. They knew about all his methods and were thus also prepared to counter them. However, Lu Yin was using voidforce energy at this moment, as well as a new power vessel, which was his bone pike. Shaman G.o.d never considered that their opponent could be Lu Yin, and in a moment of carelessness, the slipper landed a direct hit on the odd doll"s head. At the exact same moment, the bone pike pierced the head.


The doll that was Shaman G.o.d"s Semi-Progenitor avatar was completely destroyed.


The doll let out a final wail, "Who are you?"


Since the doll"s back had been facing Lu Yin, Shaman G.o.d had never known that its doll had been struck by Lu Yin’s slipper. The instant the doll shattered, the SkyG.o.d’s true body stopped receiving information from the avatar, just like when Blackless G.o.d had been destroyed by Mister Mu in Millions City.


Lu Yin had just killed a SkyG.o.d’s avatar.


Panting, Lu Yin put his slipper back away, followed by the bird skeleton and the bone pike. As far as he was concerned, eliminating one of the Seven SkyG.o.ds’ Semi-Progenitor avatars had been even more exhausting than fighting against a Progenitor. Shaman G.o.d"s mastery over s.p.a.ce made its doll’s almost invincible. If not for the doll chasing after Lu Yin and allowing him to prepare for the fight, Lu Yin was not certain that he could have destroyed the doll.


Only after this victory did Lu Yin understand just how frightening Mister Mu’s strength was. Lu Yin’s master had instantly extinguished Blackless G.o.d"s avatar, and he had even made it look easy. The gap between Lu Yin and Mister Mu was larger than expected.


Had he known the true difference between himself and Blackless G.o.d’s avatar at the time, his understanding of Mister Mu"s strength would have been far more accurate.


The area where the battle had taken place was vacant. Shaman G.o.d"s doll had been exterminated, and everything had disappeared, including the broken doll itself.


Lu Yin left the planet, just in case someone happened to pa.s.s by and see him there.


Cheng Feng had to be incredibly important if he had one of Shaman G.o.d’s avatars protecting him.


At that realization, Lu Yin suddenly thought of something. If Shaman G.o.d had been protecting Cheng Feng, then did that mean that Cheng Feng was aware of Shaman G.o.d"s existence? In that case, could Lu Yin impersonate Shaman G.o.d?


Lu Yin immediately took on the appearance of Shaman G.o.d"s doll and returned to Broken Cliff.


At this time, Ling Mu and several others were asking questions that were creating headaches for Boss Guan and the other Bureau members.


As one of Sovereign Ninth Lotus’s disciples, Ling Mu felt no need to show the Bureau any respect at all. She treated all of the Bureau members very poorly, though she barely refrained from outright cursing at them. Boss Guan and the others did not dare to speak back at all. There were serious consequences for offending one of Sovereign Ninth Lotus’s disciples, as the Sovereign had many disciples throughout the Sixverse a.s.sociation. Offending one was offending all, and there were even disciples of Sovereign Ninth Lotus in other branches of the Bureaus in other universes.


Only after Xu Ji stepped in did Ling Mu finally stop her tirade. If not for Xu Ji’s presence, no one knew how long the woman’s rant might have gone on for.


Frustrated, the members of the Bureau tried to contact Xuan Qi, but they could not reach him no  matter what.


"I knew that he was useless! He thinks he"s so clever, but now that something has come up and there are complaints about us, he"s nowhere to be found!" Xu Yue complained.


Ghost Three was instead feeling quite worried. "The acting Bureau Director isn’t in trouble, is he? Who knows how many of Sovereign Ninth Lotus’s disciples might have arrived? If any Void Morphora-level powerhouses came along, the acting Bureau Director might not be able to escape."


Old Dian remained calm. "You are underestimating Spiral Domain. With that technique, not even a Void Morphora can capture the acting Bureau Director."


Boss Guan nodded. "He won"t be in any trouble."


"He tried to be clever, but we’re the ones who ended up being scolded for it!" Xu Yue complained, still annoyed.


Xu Ji said, "Spies won"t easily trust people, not even their fellow spies. They’ll always be on guard. Either Cheng Feng is too cautious, or-" He glanced around at everyone. "He"s simply not a spy."


Xu Yue replied, "I don"t think he"s a spy. Why wouldn’t he be afraid of Cheng Kong going after him for capturing Tu Shuangshuang and turning her in?"


"That’s not necessarily the case." Old Dian considered. "If there"s a larger plan in place, then sacrificing Tu Shuangshuang could simply be a part of it. The acting Bureau Director"s actions already indicate the direction that he’s taking, so let’s just wait. He’ll update us soon enough, after he judges the current situation."


Soon enough, Xu Ji received a message from Xuan Qi. "Let’s go back to Broken Cliff."


"He"s still at Broken Cliff?" Ghost Three exclaimed.


Old Dian mused, "It seems that things aren’t over yet. Since Sovereign Ninth Lotus’s disciple is looking down on our Bureau so much, let"s go confront her."



Broken Cliff had become empty. Cheng Feng was safe for the moment, and Tu Shuangshuang had escaped once again, which meant that there was no longer any reason for people to stay at Broken Cliff. The nearby areas were scoured for traces of Tu Shuangshuang, and the surrounding region was turned upside down in the process.


"Brother Cheng Feng, you don’t need to worry. Tu Shuangshuang will definitely be caught," Little Lian said with clenched fists.


Cheng Feng smiled. "I know. Little Lian, it looks like you’ve grown up after your time in the Sixverse Academy."


"Really?" Little Lian felt quite pleased.


Jiang Xiaodao grimaced. "Cheng Feng, you must be scared right now, aren"t you? Do you still have the courage to sing? Little Lian came here just to hear you sing."


Ling Mu became irritated with Jiang Xiaodao. "Let"s rest for a bit first."


Cheng Feng spoke up, "It"s fine. Little Lian took the effort to come here, so how could I disappoint her?"


Turning back to Little Lian, he smiled again. "What would you like to hear, Little Lian?"


"Is it really alright?" Little Lian blinked and then glanced over at Ling Mu.


Ling Mu sighed in resignation. "It’s fine. What do you want to hear?"


Little Lian was not ordinary even among Sovereign Ninth Lotus’s disciples. People like Ling Mu and Cheng Feng addressed the Sovereign as Sovereign Ninth Lotus, while only Little Lian referred to the Sovereign as Master. It was a completely different relationship, and it was also why no one dared to ignore Little Lian"s requests.


Little Lian"s eyes lit up. "I want to hear Star Hymn!"


Cheng Feng laughed. "Alright, I"ll sing Star Hymn.”


"That"s great! Jiang Xiaodao, let"s go outside!"


"Why wouldn’t we listen to him from right here?"


"When Brother Cheng Feng is singing, people aren’t allowed to get close, so let’s hurry up and go!"
