CHAPTER 202: CHAPTER 186: THE TROUBLESOME GOLDEN ARMORED WARRIOR, TRUMP CARD REVEALED

Following the Great Elder, step by step, descending.

Hei Yuan had no idea there was such a place inside the cave.

Man-made stairs spiraled downward.

On both sides of the passageway, torches flickered on and off.

Underfoot, Hei Yuan constantly stepped on chunks of Broken Stone.

This path was a bit difficult to walk.

"We have arrived."

The Great Elder, Xiao Jin, said calmly, making way.

Hei Yuan looked up, revealing a look of shock in his eyes.

Blood.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of sticky blood.

In the distance, rivers of blood were flowing slowly.

Where the blood rivers converged, there was a two-meter square Blood Pool.

Above the Blood Pool, Liu Chang’s body floated with not a shred of clothing on him.

His skin, already fair, now appeared as white as a wall under the reflection of the blood-red light.

Gleaming brilliantly.

"Great, Great Elder, the Saint..."

"The Saint has not yet arrived."

Xiao Jin said indifferently, "But it will be soon."

"Soon?"

"Yes, with your participation, it will be soon."

Hei Yuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something was amiss.

He turned to flee, but was suddenly pushed down, the tip of a long spear piercing through his chest.

"Great Elder, you..."

Hei Yuan’s eyes were wide open, unable to comprehend why the Great Elder wanted to kill him.

"With your help, the Saint’s arrival will be hastened somewhat."

"Offering oneself for the Saint, wasn’t that something you spoke of to me long ago?"

"The blood of three hundred Aliens has been gathered."

"Your Royal Highness the Holy Son, descend."

Xiao Jin seemed to be explaining to Hei Yuan, or perhaps he was murmuring quietly.

As Hei Yuan fell to the ground, the blood from his chest flowed out rapidly.

Joining the blood slurry on the ground, forming a blood river that flowed towards the center of the cave, directly into the Blood Pool.

To the naked eye, the red within the Blood Pool became even brighter.

The Great Elder sighed slightly, turned around, and staggered to walk back up.

The descent of the Saint requires more than just the blood of these useless Aliens.

"Haha."

...

"Mr. Lu, can’t you be a bit less reckless next time?"

"Earlier we were trapped in heavy armor and couldn’t come to help you."

Fang Gang said with a hint of complaint.

Although the heavy armor had excellent defense, during the battle earlier, the Aliens’ attacks on them caused no damage.

But the heavy armor was really too heavy.

None of them had cultivated Body Refinement Cultivation Methods, and walking just a few steps in the heavy armor left them exhausted.

"Alright, alright, I’ll be more careful next time."

"For now, everyone quickly recover, Liu Chang is just above us."

"Let’s give it our all, everyone."

"Okay."

Everyone responded in unison.

A moment later, when everyone had fully recovered, Lu Lin used the Guiding Star Skill again and moved upwards.

At the cave entrance, the Great Elder stood watching as Lu Lin and his team walked up step by step until they stood before him.

"Thank you for your effort, everyone."

Hmm?

Lu Lin and the others were full of question marks.

What was this person’s situation?

Wasn’t he supposed to be with those Aliens? Why did it sound like he was one of them?

"Don’t think too much, I have no ill intentions."

"Many years ago, I was also a Human."

"Of course, the Saint Lord is also Human."

"However, due to an accident, the Saint’s Spirit fell into slumber."

"To awaken, he needs not only a most suitable body but, most importantly, also requires everyone’s help."

Xiao Jin spoke without regard to whether Lu Lin and the others understood.

"Now, it’s time to trouble you all."

"Golden Armored Warriors."

"Go on."

"Take our guests down."

"Clang, clang clang."

As Xiao Jin’s words fell, Lu Lin was shocked to see arms appearing from the ground.

Then, the arms lifted upwards, as if grasping something.

Suddenly, one by one, Skeleton Warriors clad in Golden Armor appeared before everyone.

The figure of the Great Elder gradually retreated.

Lu Lin also slowly retreated.

In front of him.

Stood fifteen robust, imposing Golden Armored Warriors.

Lu Lin sensed that the strength of these Golden Armored Warriors reached the... Sixth level.

The Golden Armored Warriors in their Golden Armor, five in each group, holding long spears, iron swords, and thick-backed Horse Cutting Sabers.

Upon confirming that Lu Lin was their target, the first row of Golden Armored Warriors holding long spears stepped forward.

The long spears leveled in their hands.

Stabbing forward.

Lu Lin had already been constantly Calming and Alert.

Since arriving on the mountain and seeing the Great Elder Xiao Jin, everything seemed to be veering towards a bizarre direction.

Bam.

Lu Lin Held Shield.

Five long spears stabbed simultaneously at the shield.

Lu Lin took half a step back, barely resisting the attack from the five Skeletons.

The force was immense.

Lu Lin marveled.

The five spear warriors paid no attention to being blocked by Lu Lin.

The spears were withdrawn.

And stabbed again.

How could Fang Gang and the others permit these Golden Armored Warriors to be rampant?

Ripple.

Flame Dragon.

Fire Snake.

Sleep.

Black-striped White Tiger.

Dread Lion.

Earth Python.

A series of Star Skills were unleashed, but to little effect.

Except for Bai Buyi’s summoned beasts, which knocked over a few Golden Armored Warriors, Fang Gang and Chen Xiran’s Star Skills had no effect.

No matter how the flames scorched, or the ripples vibrated, the Golden Armored Warriors were not affected at all.

"Good opportunity."

Lu Lin saw the Dread Lion and the Black-striped White Tiger, and the Earth Python rushed forward to knock down a few spear-wielding Golden Armored Warriors, prompting him to drop his large shield and leap forward.

Broken knife.

Seize the Gap.

The broken knife in his hand precisely slashed into the gap in a Golden Armored Warrior’s armor.

A surge of Star Power and dark death energy flowed through the knife into Lu Lin’s body.

Lu Lin’s legs weakened, nearly collapsing to the ground.

The Golden Armored Warrior opposite him was doing the same.

The body leaned forward, colliding directly with the ground.

What kind of power is this?

Lu Lin cursed inwardly, not daring to let this power linger in his body for too long, and he directed it back into the broken knife.

The Golden Armored Warrior opposite him was even more shocked.

His sole instinct told him that his power seemed to have been regained.

Automatically absorbing the power transmitted through the broken knife, the Golden Armored Warrior punched towards Lu Lin.

Stone Skin.

Bam.

Lu Lin felt a pain in his side, but it was bearable.

He withdrew the broken knife from the gap in the Golden Armored Warrior’s armor and retreated two steps.

These Golden Armored Warriors seemed to be composed of death energy.

Lu Lin could absorb it, but if he did, he would become just like them, a skeleton man.

However, returning the death energy could be absorbed by them.

Chen Xiran and Fang Gang’s Star Skills were completely ineffective against these Golden Armored Warriors.

In the team, three were restricted, only Bai Buyi could barely hold on.

But even he wouldn’t last long.

Lu Lin saw that while the Dread Lion was okay, the Black-striped White Tiger and the Earth Python were already surrounded by Golden Armored Warriors holding iron swords and horse cutting sabers; the situation wasn’t optimistic.

The figure of the Great Elder Xiao Jin had already disappeared at the cave entrance.

No knowing when he would appear again.

Lu Lin grew increasingly anxious.

In this situation, what could he do?

The Earth-based Star Skills he had mastered didn’t seem to harm the Golden Armored Warriors at all.

The Eye-based Star Skills were mainly support, not effective either.

Ten Steps Kill, Inch Step, Inch Tick, Golden Body Sutra, Soul Splitting Skill...

Soul Splitting Skill?

Lu Lin suddenly paused, raising his eyes to look at the two blood-red flames in the skeleton warrior’s eyes.

The Soul Splitting Skill should be useful, but... how to use it?

For a month, because of visualizing the broken knife in the Consciousness Universe, Lu Lin had felt a clear increase in his spiritual strength.

But he hadn’t yet figured out how to use spiritual strength.

Yet, this might be Lu Lin’s only solution now.

And the Star Power Domain.

Within a short time, Lu Lin could only think of this combination.

Release the Star Power Domain, pulling all fifteen Golden Armored Warriors’ spirit forms into the Star Power Domain.

Then, everything could be resolved.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin couldn’t help but praise his own cleverness.

Wearing Armor.

Holding Shield.

Lu Lin prepared his defenses, saying "protect me" before closing his eyes and entering the Consciousness Universe.

Fang Gang and Chen Xiran, having nothing to do temporarily, heard Lu Lin’s shout and quickly moved near him, shielding him.

Release Star Power Domain.

Lu Lin could see the jumping spirit forms.

This one was Bai Buyi, this one was Chen Xiran, this one was Fang Gang.

So, the rest must be the skeletons.

A total of fifteen flame-shaped spirit forms, Lu Lin pulled them in.

Effortlessly.

Fifteen flame spirit forms were pulled into Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.

Below the cave, by the Blood Pool, Xiao Jin suddenly froze.

He could no longer sense his long-accumulated fifteen Golden Armored Warriors.

How is this possible?

These Golden Armored Warriors were something he painstakingly tempered over the years; how could they go undetected all of a sudden?

By logic, even death should have a process, right?

Xiao Jin quickly turned around, his previously tottering image vanished.

Rushing to the cave entrance, he saw Lu Lin and the others gathered together, unmoving.

And his fifteen Golden Armored Warriors were the same.

As if someone had pressed the time stop button.

What... is happening?

Xiao Jin was utterly confused.

Within the Star Power Domain, Lu Lin looked at the fifteen flame spirit forms and laughed heartily.

Indeed.

Keeping an ace up one’s sleeve at all times wasn’t bad.

Now, let’s begin.

Cage.

Wooden Thorn.

Fire Burn.

Landslide.

Heal.

Restore.

Lightning Flash.

One by one, Star Skills were released from the eye.

Using the Star Power Domain to kill the enemy for the second time, Lu Lin was no longer as reckless as when dealing with the artist before.

First, bind the fifteen spirit forms, then attack with various elemental Star Skills.

The fifteen spirit forms were visibly weakening and diminishing.

Inside the spirit forms, a sharp wailing sounded.

Lu Lin’s actions didn’t stop.

However, his Star Power was nearing depletion.

Fifteen spirit forms were much harder to destroy than one artist.

Lu Lin had to quickly exit the Star Power Domain, drink a bottle of Star Power Recovery Potion, and re-enter the Star Power Domain.

The fifteen spirit forms from just now, once Lu Lin left, also broke free from the Star Power Domain’s binding.

As a result, upon returning to their bodies, the fifteen spirit forms were horrified to discover.

The power that had summoned them earlier returned.

Do we have to go through this?

Can’t you give us a break?

The fifteen spirit forms wailed as they were once again pulled into Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.
