Chapter 1355 1321: The Abyss Unrested, No Death No Rest

"Hiss~"

"Pain! Pain, pain, pain!"

...

Lin Yi had no idea how much time passed, but he felt an overwhelming headache enveloping his entire body.

The pain was as if someone was about to forcibly pry open Lin Yi's head, and with great effort, Lin Yi barely had a moment to catch his breath, enduring the excruciating pain.

Then he took out the [Elf Holy Water] from his backpack, gulping down bottle after bottle as if it cost nothing.

It wasn't until Lin Yi suddenly felt much better that he could finally stop.

Lin Yi instantly felt like he had been fished out from a lake; he was drenched all over.

Not knowing whether it was sweat or the still undried blood:

"I'm actually not dead?"

Lin Yi lay powerlessly on the ground, when an unusual sensation suddenly came from his hand.

Stunned, Lin Yi looked to the side, only to see his hand resting on Lucifer's bloodless face:

"Damn it."

The startled Lin Yi, not knowing where he found the strength, quickly got up and retreated to one side.

"This is..."

Lin Yi was shocked as he looked at Lucifer's silent and still body:

"How could this be?"

At this moment, even Lin Yi found it hard to believe:

"This damn thing was the Demon Emperor!"

"The Supreme Ruler of the Abyss Demon Race, could he really be dead like this?"

However, Lin Yi quickly discovered something even more shocking, as he looked unbelievingly towards the system panel:

System: "Triggered passive skill, deal a fatal blow to the target: Lucifer Mond (Life Value: 9.3%), Heavenly Dao Judgment."

System: "Congratulations on killing the Abyss Lord, Emperor Level BOSS Lucifer Lv99 (Unique), rewards: Level +Lv3; Random Divine Artifact ×1; Unique Title: [Godslayer·Demon Emperor]; Gold Coins: 100 million; Reputation: 10,000,000."

System: "Congratulations on killing Demon Emperor Lucifer, inherited unique equipment [Divine Wings Lv85 Divine Artifact]."

System: "Congratulations on killing Demon Emperor Lucifer, inherited unique equipment [Nether God Bell Lv85 Divine Artifact]."

System: "Congratulations on killing Demon Emperor Lucifer, inherited unique item [Abyssal Order]."

System: "Congratulations on killing Demon Emperor Lucifer, gained Hundred Races Reputation: Adoration."

System: "Congratulations on [Red Sky Divine Pearl Lv10 Demigod Artifact] successfully advancing to [Supreme Divine Seal Lv80 Super Divine Artifact]."

System: "Congratulations on being the first to obtain a 'Super Divine Artifact', rewards level +Lv1; Gold Coins ×20 million;"

System: "Congratulations on reaching Lv85 level, please prepare to go to [Human Peak · Thunder Attraction Platform] to undergo Celestial Tribulation Baptism and advance to True God."

...

"This..."

Lin Yi dumbfoundedly stared at the densely packed system prompts on the panel, momentarily forgetting all the pain on his body, with only those four words in his mind: "Supreme Divine Seal!"

Lin Yi was attracted because Lucifer had previously mentioned it.

An item that could freely travel the [Tongyou Divine Hall], something that Lin Yi had obtained in his past life, it was only natural for him to remember it.

Lin Yi quickly looked towards the nearby building ruins.

As a weapon that had been with him since Lv10, Lin Yi had irreplaceable emotion for it.

Looking at the White Jade-like translucent seal, Lin Yi was stunned beyond measure:

"It really is [Supreme Divine Seal]!"

Not to mention [Red Sky Divine Pearl], a Demigod Artifact, directly advancing to a Super Divine Artifact.

Just speaking of the conditions for [Red Sky Divine Pearl]'s advancement, [Divine King Blood]!

Lin Yi still found it hard to believe as he looked at his blood-stained palm:

"Is it my own blood?"

Then Lin Yi looked at the fallen Lucifer:

"Or his?

Lin Yi didn't know whether the so-called [Divine King Blood] was his own or perhaps inadvertently stained by Lucifer's, but the fact that [Red Sky Divine Pearl] had completed its advancement was undeniable.

Now, Lin Yi wasn't concerned about whose blood helped [Red Sky Divine Pearl] complete its advancement.

What he was curious about was what kind of equipment this [Supreme Divine Seal] would be.

Eagerly, Lin Yi stepped forward.

As Lin Yi approached, that Supreme Divine Seal began to float, and Lin Yi gazed at it with fascination:

"This, this is the [Supreme Divine Seal], a Super Divine Artifact?!"

"The ultimate form of the [Punishment Treasure Pearl] is actually a Super Divine Artifact!"

Lin Yi looked at everything before him with disbelief:

"Turns out, I had already solved this 'mystery' in my previous life."

Yet, as Lin Yi held the [Supreme Divine Seal], seemingly a thought came to him:

"Elda senior."

Lin Yi quickly looked to the side, his face absent of joy from surviving, but filled with sorrow towards where Elda had disappeared.

Until now, Lin Yi couldn't forget the look Elda had when engulfed by the soul fire at the last moment.

Within it was regret, resignation, relief, and... an apology to Lin Yi.

Perhaps he felt guilty until his death for not being able to help Lin Yi.

Recalling all of Hilda's deeds, it instantly diluted Lin Yi's earlier excitement:

"Sword Saint senior, did you see it all?"

Lin Yi's eyes were red as he looked around at everything, and at the ground with the Demon Emperor's body:

"We really killed the Abyss's Demon Emperor!"

Then Lin Yi slowly fell to his knees, solemnly bowing three times towards where Elda was last vanquished:

"It was all thanks to senior's efforts that Lucifer was slain. Without you, I wouldn't be standing here."

"This bow is to show my gratitude for senior's life-saving grace!"

It can be said that if not for Elda Sword Saint's desperate soul fire dropping Lucifer's health below 10%, it would be Lin Yi lying here dead instead of Lucifer.

Lucifer might never have believed he'd perish here, even in death.

Just then, the Emperor's Charm Sword transformed into a red-garbed Katrina beside Lin Yi:

"He is also a hero of the Hundred Races."

After a moment, Lin Yi slowly rose, walked forward, scooped up a handful of earth, and carefully packed it into a jade bottle meant for [Elf Holy Liquid]:

"May senior have a peaceful journey."

"I will definitely find a serene place for you to rest in peace, with the mountain at your back and the water by your side."

Suddenly!

Demonic Qi surged from the depths of the Divine Hall, accompanied by piercing screams.

Katrina frowned and said,

"The Abyss Passage has opened!"

Lin Yi's face darkened:

"Demon Race!"

Then his expression hardened:

"The Abyss shall not rest, nor shall we!"

However, just as Lin Yi was about to act, a voice suddenly reached his ear:

"This place is not connected to the worlds beyond; even if the Demon Race comes, nothing can change."

"Go back."

"While the Demon Race is greatly weakened, quickly enhance the Chosen One's power."

"Greater challenges lie ahead."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi sharply turned to look at the raised platform.

A shabby old man was standing there, making eye contact with Lin Yi, and Lin Yi recognized him at a glance:

"'Hongmeng'!"

Suddenly, clouds gathered above Lin Yi's head, resembling ones burnt by fire, followed by booming thunder,

Gales howled as they swept through the Tongyou Divine Hall, presenting an apocalyptic scene.

Katrina looked overhead in shock:

"How can this be... this is..."

"Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation!"

Yet, the thunderstricken Lin Yi looked unaffectedly towards the demonic qi rising skyward in the distance:

"You came just in time."
