Chapter 759: Chapter 380: Lin Feng is Possessed; Celestial Law Enforcement

After Lin Feng killed the Shadow Alliance assassin and left, the Master of Shadows began his pursuit. He eventually tracked Lin Feng down. To prevent him from teleporting away, he knocked him unconscious in an instant and brought him back.

The stone platform was now covered in Array Patterns.

The Master of Shadows and Lin Feng were each positioned on an Array Hub, with black Energy flowing continuously between them.

Finally, the Master of Shadows’ Nascent Soul flew out and entered Lin Feng’s body.

The moment the Nascent Soul entered, the Array on the stone platform erupted with a final burst of black light and began to furiously siphon the Power from the Master of Shadows’ body into Lin Feng.

The unconscious Lin Feng’s body convulsed violently, as if in the throes of a seizure.

But no matter how he thrashed, his body could not break free from its position on the Array Hub.

Slowly, Lin Feng’s body began to levitate as the black Energy continued to pour into him. Meanwhile, the Master of Shadows’ body withered at a visible rate, shriveling until it resembled a desiccated corpse. Lin Feng’s Physique was also rapidly strengthening.

Inside Lin Feng’s body, the Master of Shadows’ Nascent Soul suppressed Lin Feng’s Primordial Spirit.

Lin Feng’s Primordial Spirit could not be allowed to dissipate until the Power absorption was complete. Thus, it was suppressed by the Nascent Soul’s might, helpless as a puppet.

Once the Master of Shadows’ body had become a desiccated corpse, devoid of any remaining Power, the Nascent Soul abruptly opened its eyes. Immediately, the Cultivation aura from Lin Feng’s body began to skyrocket, instantly breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Foundation Establishment Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage!

Golden Core!

Golden Core Early Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage!

Nascent Soul!

In the end, his Cultivation stabilized at the Nascent Soul Early Stage!

After stabilizing, the Master of Shadows’ Nascent Soul looked at Lin Feng’s Primordial Spirit before it, a smile curling its lips.

’Back then, your master, Lin Changfeng, got lucky. He saw through my intentions and made off with the Black Death Secret Manual. I never expected him to take a disciple like you, but it works out well. Your ability to successfully cultivate the Black Death Secret Manual is all I required. Now, I have finally succeeded! I, too, can cultivate the Black Death Secret Manual!’

’Although the Dark Spirit Secret Technique caused my Realm to drop from Great Perfection to the Early Stage, it is acceptable. Once inside the Realm of Ten Thousand Races, it will only take a little time to cultivate my way back up.’

Then, looking at Lin Feng’s Primordial Spirit, it released a jolt of Power, instantly shattering the spirit into fragments that scattered like ash.

He couldn’t be bothered to absorb that meager wisp of spiritual power, so he simply obliterated every last trace of Lin Feng. He was the Master of Shadows now.

"Time’s up. I have to go." The Master of Shadows opened his eyes and inspected his new body. ’Although its aptitude is inferior to my original one, the ability to cultivate the Black Death Secret Manual is better than any innate talent!’

He knew exactly what the Black Death Secret Manual was. It was a Secret Technique for cultivating an Undying Body. It made one invincible within their own Realm and even granted the ability to kill opponents in higher Realms!

’If only the second half weren’t missing. Then I would be immortal and indestructible—truly invincible!’

After a moment of reflection, he took out his Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal. The rest of the Shadow Alliance had already gone ahead to the Realm of Ten Thousand Races to establish their territory.

With his teleportation, he entered the Realm of Ten Thousand Races.

However, what he did not know was that after Lin Feng’s Primordial Spirit was shattered, it had not dissipated. Instead, it was absorbed by Lin Feng’s own Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal. The Spirit Seal then vanished, triggering the Ring Spirit’s emergency protocol, which extracted Lin Feng’s Primordial Spirit and restored it within the Transmission Space of the Hall of Ten Thousand Races.

「Meanwhile」

Cheng Zongyang, who was in the Cultivation Room, received a notification from the Ring Spirit.

"Lin Feng has died. His Divine Soul has been restored and returned to the Transmission Space."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zongyang stopped absorbing Spiritual Power and ceased his Cultivation.

With a single thought, he appeared in the Transmission Space.

Cheng Zongyang frowned as he looked at the bewildered spirit of Lin Feng floating in the space.

"Ring Spirit, search his memories and find out what happened."

"Understood."

The Ring Spirit stabilized Lin Feng’s Primordial Spirit and projected the final images from his memory for Cheng Zongyang to see.

Cheng Zongyang watched as Lin Feng ambushed the member of the Shadow Alliance. He then saw him being attacked by a powerful, shadowy figure while traveling, losing consciousness instantly.

The final scene showed a Nascent Soul suppressing a Primordial Spirit, and he also heard the words the person had spoken.

At this point, Cheng Zongyang understood everything.

The Master of Shadows of the Shadow Alliance had possessed Lin Feng, all because he had cultivated the Black Death Secret Manual. This event was even tied to the reason Lin Changfeng had fled the Shadow Alliance in the first place.

"If it weren’t for me, you really would be dead," Cheng Zongyang muttered, shaking his head slightly. He then asked the Ring Spirit, "Has the Shadow Alliance entered?"

The Ring Spirit replied, "A total of seven thousand, four hundred and seventy-six people have entered as a Sect. One of them is their Sect Leader, a man named Bai Ye, also known as the Master of Shadows. He just entered the Realm of Ten Thousand Races."

Cheng Zongyang glanced at the timer for the passageway lockdown. There was still half an hour left.

Cheng Zongyang nodded. "Issue an announcement," he commanded. "Bai Ye, the Master of Shadows of the Shadow Alliance, wantonly attacked and killed an Immortal Official of the Immortal Realm. His crime is monstrous. In accordance with immortal law, he is to be imprisoned in the Immortal Realm Celestial Prison and subjected to the Celestial Thunder Punishment, with no chance of rebirth! Ring Spirit, after you capture him, reduce his Power to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, extract his Nascent Soul, and return the body to Lin Feng. Keep the remaining Power for me."

"Understood," the Ring Spirit replied.

The next moment, everyone’s Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal began to vibrate. Simultaneously, a majestic and sonorous voice boomed across the sky in Area Two:

"Immortal Realm Announcement: Bai Ye, the Master of Shadows of the Shadow Alliance, has been found guilty of wantonly attacking an Immortal Official of the Immortal Realm, a monstrous crime. In accordance with heavenly law, he is hereby sentenced to imprisonment in the Immortal Realm Celestial Prison to suffer the Celestial Thunder Punishment, with no chance of rebirth!"

As the voice faded, countless people, who had been busy with their own tasks, froze in stunned silence.

The announcement was like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, sending shockwaves through the populace. The various factions all reacted differently.

Countless people thought they must have misheard and scrambled to pull out their Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seals to read the new announcement.

And there it was, in writing: the leader of the Shadow Alliance, Bai Ye!

The leaders of every major power were stunned.

’Is the leader of the Shadow Alliance an idiot? Or did he somehow not realize the person he killed was an Immortal Official?’

For the first time, they were witnessing the terrifying might of heavenly law.

They finally understood the feeling that divine beings were watching from just overhead.

It also gave them a much more visceral understanding of the new rules. This was the first time they had heard such a voice, and the first time they had heard of heavenly law!

There truly were immortal regulations watching over them. Although past grudges and killings would not be pursued, anyone who dared to transgress in the future would face the same enforcement!

This was an experience that not even the Five Great Immortal Sects or the other top-tier powers had ever had.

To kill a single Immortal Official was to be sentenced to eternal oblivion!

This drove home for everyone the transcendent and inviolable status of an Immortal Official!

However, this sparked an even greater desire among the masses for positions like Immortal Official, Immortal Envoy, and other Immortal Official roles!

According to the rules, these were people who worked on behalf of the Immortals! They shared the Immortals’ lifespan and would even be resurrected if they were killed!

Now, no one cared about the Master of Shadows’ fate. Instead, they were desperate to learn how to become an Immortal Official, because it was now clear that someone already held the position!

Within the Shadow Alliance, the members were in an uproar. Their leader, Bai Ye, had been condemned so decisively by the Immortal Realm.

’But their Sect Leader had just arrived. When could he have possibly killed an Immortal Official?’

The subject of the announcement, Bai Ye himself, was utterly stunned and horrified when he heard it.

’When did I kill an Immortal Official?’

’I’ve never even seen what an Immortal Official looks like!’ He wanted to defend himself, to argue his case, but there was no opportunity.

A beam of light descended upon him, and in the next second, he was powerless to resist as he was teleported away, vanishing on the spot. He didn’t even have the chance to scream in protest!

He left behind the high-ranking members of the Shadow Alliance, their faces etched with terror.

’Their Sect Leader was gone. What were they supposed to do now?’

Deep beneath the Immortal Realm’s Immortal Capital lay a hidden, mysterious space created by the Ring Spirit.

This was the Celestial Prison of the Immortal Realm!

A grim, chilling aura permeated the air, making it feel like an abyss of sin. The Ring Spirit’s Power could create countless rooms at will, each one an independent cage waiting to hold the sinners who violated the laws of the Immortal Realm.

Within the Celestial Prison, no one could even dream of escaping without Cheng Zongyang’s permission. Even the faintest glimmer of hope would be swallowed by the endless darkness, leaving only infinite despair!

The disheveled Bai Ye was teleported here. Instantly, the entire space underwent a cataclysmic transformation.

It was as if the end of days had arrived. Oppressive black clouds gathered, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

Celestial thunder rumbled all around, and bolts of multi-colored lightning, like frenzied serpents, shot through the darkness, flashing with a chilling light.

Bai Ye’s limbs were bound tightly by chains of pure void, as if trapped by the shackles of fate itself. His Cultivation was suppressed by an immense force, leaving him as helpless as a caged animal.

A faint electrical current coursed through his body, feeling like countless ants crawling over his skin. While the current caused no real damage, it was a silent form of torture, a constant reminder of his predicament.
