Chapter 876 - 870: Breaking Free

As that sword light sliced through the air, the Peacock Great Ming King, Nato, and others on the Heaven and Earth Arena couldn’t help but be shaken.

Even just a sliver of sword light piercing through the Tentacle Treasure Tower made the Peacock Great Ming King and Nato tremble with fear.

"Gulp!" The Peacock Great Ming King swallowed hard and couldn’t help but exclaim, "This sword, the power of this sword is truly tremendous."

It’s worth mentioning that the Peacock Great Ming King is someone who doesn’t typically show his emotions.

For him to praise this sword so indiscretely speaks volumes about Lin Yuan’s sword’s potency.

Nato’s eyes widened into round orbs as he eyed the sword closely, then said to the Peacock Great Ming King, "Senior Brother Kong, this sword, I’ve seen this sword before."

Hearing this, the Peacock Great Ming King was somewhat surprised.

How could Nato have seen this sword before?

"When?" The Peacock Great Ming King curiously pursued the question.

Nato fell into reminiscence for a moment and then slowly spoke, "The Human King!"

"When the last Human King fought the Four Great Primordial Spirits years ago, he once wielded such a sword."

"The Human King Sword, this sword is definitely the Human King Sword."

The Human King Sword refers not only to the bronze sword Lin Yuan wields.

It is also a type of swordsmanship, a sword intent.

A sword intent that embodies the overwhelming might to disdain the world.

Nato was once the Vanguard Officer of the last Human King, having fought side by side with him.

Therefore, he is quite familiar with the Human King Sword.

Upon learning from Nato that this sword was the Human King Sword, the Peacock Great Ming King also showed a face full of joy.

He knew that this was the sword unleashed by Lin Yuan.

The previous Human King had already perished, and Lin Yuan is the future Human King.

Therefore, this sword could only have been wielded by Lin Yuan.

After the sword light passed, the eerie Tentacle Treasure Tower began to dissipate, crumbling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the entire Tentacle Treasure Tower was completely extinguished, as if it had never existed.

Lin Yuan appeared before the crowd, and the Peacock Great Ming King, Nato, and others instantaneously gathered around him.

"Lin Yuan, are you alright?"

"What happened? You’ve been trapped inside, and we tried everything but were powerless."

"Luckily, you got out!"

...

...

Upon seeing Lin Yuan come out, the Peacock Great Ming King, Nato, and the others began to express concerned inquiries one after another.

Lin Yuan briefly shared with them what had transpired inside the Tentacle Treasure Tower.

It’s undeniable that the Tentacle Treasure Tower, which managed to trap Lin Yuan for a full six months, was indeed quite formidable.

"Alas!" Lin Yuan sighed heavily, and worriedly stated, "We’ve been trapped here for half a year, and we don’t know how Yang Jing and the others are faring."

Lin Yuan and Yang Jing had split into two teams to besiege the Chaos Star Beasts.

On Lin Yuan’s end, they dealt with more than fifty or sixty Chaos Star Beasts.

Yang Jing went to the other side, where there were about twenty or thirty Chaos Star Beasts.

Apart from the places they went to separately, there were more than a hundred Chaos Star Beasts scattered around.

Losing those six months meant that Yang Jing’s team had to face more than a hundred, nearly two hundred Chaos Star Beasts altogether.

These Chaos Star Beasts were Tier Two, several times the number of Yang Jing’s men.

Additionally, even Lin Yuan himself had been caught in the shadows, trapped by the Chaos Star Beasts.

The situation for Yang Jing’s team might be equally unfavorable.

If they fail to manage the situation and allow these Chaos Star Beasts to grow to Tier One, then it would be a calamity.

Thinking about this made Lin Yuan extremely anxious.

Shortly after dissipating the Heaven and Earth Arena, Lin Yuan saw Elder Bai waiting outside the arena.

It seemed Elder Bai had been waiting for quite a while.

Lin Yuan was trapped inside the Tentacle Treasure Tower, while the Peacock Great Ming King and Nato were trapped in the Heaven and Earth Arena, and Elder Bai was stuck outside the Heaven and Earth Arena, unable to enter.

Those inside couldn’t get out, those outside couldn’t get in, and Elder Bai had been waiting at the arena’s outskirts for two months.

Fearing something might happen to Lin Yuan, he had stayed here all along.

Seeing Elder Bai, Lin Yuan sighed in relief.

And Elder Bai too sighed in relief upon seeing Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan relieved because Elder Bai was there, indicating the situation wasn’t as dire as he feared.

Elder Bai was relieved because Lin Yuan was still alive and unharmed.

"What situation did you encounter?"

"How’s the situation outside?"

Lin Yuan and Elder Bai were perfectly in sync, asking the questions almost in unison.

Lin Yuan conveyed to Elder Bai what happened inside the Tentacle Treasure Tower, then listened as Elder Bai narrated the occurrences over the past six months outside.

"After we dealt with those twenty or thirty Chaos Star Beasts, seeing no movement from your situation, we came to investigate."

"But we were blocked outside by the Heaven and Earth Arena, unaware of the situation inside."

"Yang Jing suggested we wait here or go elsewhere to hunt Chaos Star Beasts instead."

"After we hunted another several dozen Chaos Star Beasts, the remaining seventy to eighty Chaos Star Beasts gathered and launched an attack on us."

"Just as we were reaching the limit of endurance, Yin Celestial Son and Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins sent reinforcements, with the aid of Netherworld Yin Spirits and Heavenly General from the Returning Ruins Divine List, we turned defeat into victory, completely annihilating all the Chaos Star Beasts two months ago."

"After annihilating all the Chaos Star Beasts, we came to check this place and found the Heaven and Earth Arena still intact, unaware of the situation inside."

"After a round of discussions, Yang Jing took the others and left first, leaving me here to stand guard, ready to contact them in case of any developments..." Elder Bai detailed the events of the last six months.

After listening to Elder Bai, Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

Although encountering unexpected situations here, fortunately, the overall outcome was favorable.

Thanks to Yin Celestial Son and Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins sending reinforcements, otherwise Yang Jing’s team truly would’ve had difficulties.

Lin Yuan originally thought that he and Yang Jing, along with Tier Two powerhouses from the crowd, could defeat the Chaos Star Beasts.

So he hadn’t deployed the Netherworld Yin Spirits and Heavenly Generals from the Ruins.

After all, he feared Luo Hou might take advantage of the situation, targeting the Returning Ruins and Underworld.

However, with the mishaps on his side, Yang Jing couldn’t bear the burden alone.

At the critical moment, both Yin Celestial Son and Heavenly Emperor of Returning Ruins decided to protect the Heaven and Earth stronghold first and provided reinforcements.

Fortunately, Luo Hou did not exploit the vulnerability and attack the Returning Ruins and Underworld.

Was it that Luo Hou did not want to exploit the vulnerability and attack Returning Ruins and Underworld?

Of course not?

Luo Hou didn’t attack not because he didn’t want to, but because he was out of resources.

The Demon Lord already noticed some traces of Luo Hou and entangled Luo Hou, wearing him out.

Luo Hou is evading the Demon Lord’s pursuit, temporarily lacking resources to deal with Lin Yuan.
