Chapter 76
A profound silence enveloped the area.
All the high-ranking evil warrior commanders stood up in unison, staring wide-eyed at the young man seated on the main throne.
"Alright."
"You may all take your seats as well."
Lin Yuan waved his sleeve casually.
Instantly, the force that compelled the evil warrior commanders to stand disappeared.
The entire blue stone hall returned to its original state. If it weren't for the change in the person sitting on the main throne, some evil warrior commanders might have thought that everything that happened just now was an illusion.
"This..."
The evil warrior commanders exchanged glances, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads.
For a moment, they were unsure whether to sit or stand, flee or stay.
"Not sitting?"
Lin Yuan's mouth curved into a smile as he looked at the evil warrior commanders.
In an instant, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on them, all the evil warrior commanders felt a tremendous force on their shoulders. Their faces turned pale, legs trembling, and one by one, they sat on the stone seats.
"Now that's more like it."
Lin Yuan's expression showed satisfaction.
The other evil warrior commanders, however, were experiencing a tumultuous storm within.
From the moment Lin Yuan entered the blue stone hall until now, only a dozen or so breaths had passed.
In this short time, he completely suppressed any resistance from the evil warrior commanders on the scene.
It wasn't that the evil warrior commanders didn't resist.
They did, but their resistance had no effect whatsoever.
How was this possible?
What's even more astonishing to the evil warrior commanders is that they didn't sense any aura of divine power from Lin Yuan.
In other words, Lin Yuan was not a warrior commander.
Not a warrior commander, yet possessed a power surpassing that of a warrior commander.
This scene, breaking all common sense, sent shivers down the spines of the evil warrior commanders.
"Who exactly are you?"
On the blue stone hall, Qingwu thrown off the main seat by Lin Yuan managed to crawl up, looking at Lin Yuan with eyes filled with fear.
Just a moment ago, if not for the protection of the evil warrior's power, his bones and organs would have been shattered by that throw. At this moment, he felt as if he couldn't die any more than he already did.
"I didn't ask for your opinion, why are you speaking?"
Lin Yuan looked at Qingwu.
Boom! A mighty force descended.
Qingwu's face turned red, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.
Such a miserable scene made the other evil warrior commanders' scalps tingle.
Compared to the kneeling Qingwu, at least they were sitting on stone seats, even if it was 'forced.' It looked much more dignified.
"I'll ask a question, and you'll answer."
"If there are additional comments, feel free to speak."
Lin Yuan rolled up his sleeves, casually stating.
Next.
Lin Yuan didn't care about the thoughts of these evil warrior commanders.
He directly asked:
"Why did you want to launch this decisive battle?"
Although Lin Yuan had guessed the reason, he still wanted to hear how these evil warrior commanders would explain.
"It's like this."
An evil warrior commander couldn't withstand the pressure.
What a joke.
Although, until now, all eighteen evil warrior commanders were alive.
But with the overwhelming strength Lin Yuan displayed just now, this evil warrior commander had no doubt that the opponent had the power to completely kill them.
In this situation, no evil warrior commander would show a determined stance of not surrendering.
In fact, some evil warrior commanders had already communicated with the evil warriors inside their bodies, trying to revive them.
At that time, even if they couldn't do anything to Lin Yuan, at least there was hope for a full retreat.
But except for the initial attempt by an evil warrior to release power and resist Lin Yuan, all the evil weapons within the evil warrior commanders seemed to have disappeared, ignoring the pleas of the evil warrior commanders.
"This is the will of the Evil Weapons."
"The Evil Weapons told us that within a hundred years, those thirty-six divine weapons will take that step and reach the realm of the Supreme God."
"Therefore, we must do our utmost, no matter the cost, to prevent this from happening."
"Otherwise, there will be no place for us in heaven and earth."
Many evil warrior commanders spoke one after another, revealing what they roughly knew.
It was consistent with Lin Yuan's speculation.
After eight thousand years of nurturing and sleep, those thirty-six national divine weapons were indeed on the verge of reaching the fourth rank.
This also indicated the difficulty of advancing from the third rank to the fourth rank.
Thirty-six divine weapons were the external manifestation of the essence of the rules of this world.
Even so, crossing into the fourth rank was still extremely difficult.
Not to mention for ordinary beings?
"Ancient divine beings."
Lin Yuan pondered with a thoughtful expression.
The term 'Father God' mentioned by the evil warrior commanders refers to the ancient divine beings.
Thousands of years ago, ancient divine beings sacrificed mountains and rivers, melted the four seas, and finally forged a hundred divine weapons.
This is also the origin of all the divine weapons in the current world.
Therefore, whether it's intact divine weapons or broken evil weapons, they all refer to the ancient divine being from thousands of years ago as the 'Father God.'
For decades, Lin Yuan has been trying to learn more about the 'ancient divine being.'
However, his efforts have been minimal.
Even forcibly extracting information from evil weapons, due to their fragmented nature, could only provide glimpses of scenes from thousands of years later.
As for memories related to the ancient divine being from thousands of years ago and how the divine weapons were forged, it remains extremely vague.
The evil weapons only know that the 'Father God' is great, but the details are hazy, and they lack a more specific impression.
Lin Yuan is quite curious about this 'ancient divine being.'
In his view, the 'ancient divine being' is at least a fourth-rank powerhouse, and may have even advanced far within the fourth rank.
However, such a powerful being, even if they didn't live for thousands of years, should still leave behind some information.
His thoughts converge.
Lin Yuan looks once again at the evil warrior commanders.
"There's something I need your help with."
Lin Yuan's tone is gentle, smiling.
This statement leaves the evil warrior commanders on the scene puzzled.
With the strength Lin Yuan has demonstrated, not to mention matching true divine weapons, what could he possibly need their help with?
"Y-yes, please speak, my lord."
The first evil warrior commander who answered Lin Yuan's question spoke cautiously.
"I want to examine the evil weapons within your bodies."
Lin Yuan's gaze is calm as he speaks slowly.
As soon as these words are uttered, silence falls upon the area.
Then, horrifying mental fluctuations erupt from each evil warrior commander's body.
Illusory images of evil weapons appeared, especially Qingwu kneeling on the hall floor. The apparition within him is an almost complete 'Giant Axe.'
The divine weapon, 'Sky-Cleaving Axe.'
Lin Yuan's gaze lingers on this axe's illusion for a moment.
In the battle of a hundred divine weapons eight thousand years ago, this 'Sky-Cleaving Axe' divine weapon ranked just below the thirty-six strongest divine weapons.
Even in defeat, it preserved most of its original form.
Originally, these evil weapons, upon sensing Lin Yuan's strength, intended to temporarily avoid confrontation. Hence, the scene where they ignored the calls of the evil warrior commanders.
However, none of the evil warrior commanders could have expected that Lin Yuan would take advantage of the situation to want to examine them.
"Well done, well done."
Lin Yuan's gaze shows a slightly fervent expression.
He came here not only to confirm his suspicions but more importantly, to collect more complete evil weapons.
If Lin Yuan intends to ascend to the fourth rank through the essence of the rules, he must comprehend a large number of evil weapons, even true divine weapons.
Therefore, the more powerful these evil weapons on the scene, the better.
Outside the blue stone hall.
Sikong Lun looks worried, pacing back and forth.
"My lord, my lord, you acted impulsively again."
Sikong Lun expresses his concerns.
Following the suggestions of the evil warrior commanders, Sikong Lun planned to accompany Lin Yuan inside.
After all, compared to Lin Yuan, Sikong Lun has more experience in communicating with these evil warrior commanders.
Knowing what the evil warrior commanders want, even if negotiations fail, he and Lin Yuan still have a chance to retreat unharmed.
At most, it's just paying a price.
However, Lin Yuan asked Sikong Lun to wait outside and dealt with the situation inside by himself.
This increasingly worried Sikong Lun.
He is well aware of Lin Yuan's strength.
Capable of easily suppressing evil weapons.
But at this moment, among the evil warrior commanders inside the blue stone hall, which one of them is easy to deal with?
The evil warrior commanders gathered here have evil weapons with completeness above fifty percent, far surpassing the previous Sacred Heart Mirror fragment.
There is even one evil weapon with completeness reaching ninety percent, extremely close to the level of a divine weapon.
With such strength, Lin Yuan directly entered. In case negotiations go wrong, wouldn't that be a big loss?
While Sikong Lun acknowledges Lin Yuan's strength, he also doesn't believe that Lin Yuan can gain any advantage in front of these powerful evil warrior commanders.
"They probably haven't started a fight."
Sikong Lun breathes a sigh of relief.
With Lin Yuan's methods and the strength of the evil warrior commanders, if they had truly engaged, it would have been a catastrophic event, far from being so quiet.
This gives Sikong Lun a bit of comfort.
But it's just a bit.
Because Lin Yuan hasn't come out yet.
Not coming out means there are variables.
A major battle could still occur.
While Sikong Lun anxiously waits,
A figure leisurely walks out from the entrance.
"My lord."
Sikong Lun is overjoyed.
Finally, the worst-case scenario did not happen.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan nods slightly, a smile appearing on his face, evidently in good spirits.
"Take care of the people behind."
After saying this, Lin Yuan leaves directly.
"Take care of what?"
Sikong Lun is a bit confused.
Who are the people behind?
He remembers that Lin Yuan clearly entered alone.
The entire blue stone hall, except for Lin Yuan and those powerful evil warrior commanders, doesn't have their own people.
Even as Sikong Lun is puzzled, leading the group of evil warrior commanders, Qingwu and others walk out of the entrance, their faces pale, trembling.
Forcibly extracting the evil weapons from their bodies is akin to tearing muscles and pulling bones for these evil warrior commanders.
If Lin Yuan didn't consider that the evil warrior commanders have strong innate spiritual power, which might be useful in the future, they wouldn't have survived.
"You guys?"
Sikong Lun, seeing these evil warrior commanders and their expressions, immediately realizes that the people Lin Yuan wanted him to take care of are these evil warrior commanders.
"This..."
Sikong Lun swallows hard.
With his intelligence, he naturally understands that since Lin Yuan said to take care of them, it means these evil warrior commanders have already submitted.
Otherwise, even if he wanted to take care of them, the evil warrior commanders wouldn't allow it.
But even so, Sikong Lun is shocked.
He was just worrying about Lin Yuan's safety, fearing he might suffer in the hands of the evil warrior commanders.
Now, seeing the eighteen evil warrior commanders with lifeless faces, Sikong Lun looks up at Lin Yuan's departing figure.
It's as if he's gazing at a 'god.'
