Three days later, after a continuous trail of slaughter, Ye Lin, Jiang Qianyue, Ziqing, and the others had finally wiped out almost all the evil spirits within the Tianyuan Dynasty.
Now, only one final location remained—the place where True Monarch Queyue was imprisoned.
During these three days, he had personally taken action almost every single time.
After all, while the other rewards obtained from his subordinates' kills were virtually identical to his own, the Power of Sin for the Sword of Original Sin could not be accumulated this way.
The Power of Sin could only be gathered when this sword personally slew living beings, and since it was his exclusive weapon, only he could wield it.
Fortunately, with his current strength, the evil spirits within the Tianyuan Dynasty were all nobodies, easily wiped out in groups with a single swing of his sword.
After these three days of slaughter, he had accumulated almost enough Power of Sin. As long as he slew True Monarch Queyue, the attack power of the Sword of Original Sin would basically upgrade to Heaven-grade.
“Burial Lord, True Monarch Queyue is suppressed in the Demon Abyss below,” Ziqing said respectfully to Ye Lin the moment Jiang Qianyue carried the flying vessel over a deep abyss roiling with immense demonic energy.
“Then let's not waste time.” Glancing down at the Demon Abyss, Ye Lin leaped directly into it.
Seeing this, Jiang Qianyue and Ziqing hurriedly followed suit.
Passing through layers of highly corrosive black evil energy barriers, the three of them quickly reached the deepest depths of the Demon Abyss.
There, a giant snake with two horns on its head was staring at them with an expression of sheer excitement.
“Senior Jiang, are you here on the orders of our clan's Lord of Destiny to help this junior break the seal?” True Monarch Queyue asked, his tone filled with anticipation.
When Ziqing and the others were slain last time, he had secretly used a secret technique to inform the true higher-ups of the evil spirit race about what had happened.
The other side had given him precise news, saying that the human powerhouse Jiang Qianyue would come to handle the matter entirely. Jiang Qianyue's information had also been passed down to him by the higher-ups of the evil spirit race.
This was why he asked this the moment he saw Jiang Qianyue arrive.
To be honest, he was also somewhat bewildered. His subordinate Ziqing had clearly been slain and fallen, yet she had now appeared completely unharmed.
However, breaking the seal was his top priority, so he held back his questions.
“Don't get your hopes up. Today is the day you die.”
Just as True Monarch Queyue was fantasizing about how many humans he would use as blood food after escaping, a sneer suddenly rang out by his ear.
Immediately after, the “Lady Jiang” he had pinned his hopes on suppressed him with a single slap, throwing him right beside a young man.
“Lady Jiang, what is the meaning of this?” Suppressed on the spot by the terrifying pressure and unable to move, True Monarch Queyue felt an extremely ominous premonition.
This script seemed entirely different from what he had envisioned.
“What is the meaning? The Burial Lord wants to kill you, so you should just be glad,” Jiang Qianyue said, casting an expressionless glance at him.
Hearing this, True Monarch Queyue's expression turned shocked and furious. However, he was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, while Jiang Qianyue was at the Soul Separation Stage. Suppressing him was no different from stepping on an ant.
“Aren't you afraid of angering our evil race's Lord of Destiny by doing this? Aren't you afraid that our evil race will completely fall out with you humans?”
“Don't forget that among the myriad races, you humans can't even be considered a mid-tier race anymore!”
Seeing that resistance was futile, True Monarch Queyue could only roar with all his might, attempting to secure a sliver of hope for survival.
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, a long sword emitting an eerie, blood-red power and purple lightning severed his head, shattering both his Nascent Soul and his soul.
【Ding! You have slain the Lord of the Low-level Demon Abyss. You have obtained 12,000 years of other-race lifespan, your Luck Value has increased by 999 points, and you have picked up the Saint-grade talent ‘Moon Devouring.’
The Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda has actively collected the opponent's corpse to extract blood qi, and the Soaring Fairy Visualization Chart has captured the opponent's soul for refinement...
You have accumulated one strand of the Power of Sin and one strand of the Power of Heaven's Punishment...
The ‘Lord of Reincarnation’ trait has been activated. Your Reincarnation Legion has gained a Nascent Soul True Monarch.】
【You have completely cleared all the evil spirits within the Tianyuan Dynasty. This act is of immense merit, and your Luck Value has increased by 8,000 points.
You have surpassed all Blue Planet players to become the first to clear the Low-level Demon Abyss instance. Your trait has upgraded, and the effect of your ‘The Strictest Father of Other Races’ trait has increased tenfold.】
【Your Golden Core Stage pre-requisite quest to kill a Nascent Soul True Monarch has been completed.】
Just as True Monarch Queyue's giant snake head was severed, three consecutive game notifications rang in Ye Lin's ears.
“There's actually an unexpected pleasant surprise?” Hearing the game notifications, Ye Lin could not help but feel delighted.
While the kill rewards and the completion of one of his pre-requisite quests were within his expectations, the upgrade of his trait's effect was a complete windfall.
The effect of ‘The Strictest Father of Other Races’ was already heaven-defying to begin with. Now that it had been boosted tenfold, he could show even more rigorous fatherly love to his rebellious other-race children.
“Subordinate Queyue pays respects to Lord Burial Lord! Thank you, Lord Burial Lord, for your absolute impartiality. You did not discriminate against me due to my evil spirit identity, but instead treated me equally and granted me an undying body.”
“From this day forward, your subordinate Queyue will be the sharpest blade under your command, Lord Burial Lord.”
At this moment, True Monarch Queyue was resurrected by the ‘Lord of Reincarnation’ trait.
The reasons this trait used to brainwash enemies were truly bizarre. For instance, True Monarch Queyue had always loathed his identity as an evil spirit and deeply resented being discriminated against by other living beings.
Thus, after being resurrected, he became thoroughly convinced that Ye Lin was perfectly impartial. Not only did Ye Lin not despise him, but he had even granted him an undying body to escape reincarnation. It was truly a case of “the Burial Lord's benevolence can never be fully repaid.”
“Alright, the matter here is settled. It's time to return to Tianqi City.”
With a wave of his hand, Ye Lin sent True Monarch Queyue into the Undying Burial Ground, then had Jiang Qianyue carry the flying vessel and speed back toward Tianqi City.
Lying on the rocking chair prepared by the beautiful Ziqing, Ye Lin pondered his next move.
He had basically finished exploring the map of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and staying here any longer would be of little significance to his cultivation.
Therefore, his next step was to participate in the Inner Academy Genius Tournament and secure a spot to head to the Mysterious-grade Cultivation Academy of the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty.
After all, his status as a disciple of the Cultivation Academy provided decent buff bonuses to his cultivation, and only academy disciples were eligible to join the Demon Suppressing Division.
Furthermore, the treasury of the Demon Suppressing Division's headquarters housed at least half of the rare treasures and wonders from the myriad races across the five major domains: the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Domains, as well as the Central Continent.
For him, the primary spiritual materials needed for his breakthroughs would ideally be sourced from the headquarters treasury of the Demon Suppressing Division.
Once he left the academy and the Demon Suppressing Division, all the demon-slaying points he had accumulated from killing so many evil spirits would have nowhere to be spent.
Moreover, advancing from a Yellow-grade Cultivation Academy to a Mysterious-grade Cultivation Academy would undoubtedly allow him to continue farming the game's special achievements.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he would continue to choose the path of academy advancement.
